"So there is such a thing?"
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Ling Xiao's back, and he couldn't help but feel afraid.
If the towering tree hadn't reminded him, he would have absorbed all the demonic stones!
However, the hidden dangers of Demonic Stones have not been known to the world of immortality for thousands of years. It is probably because the number of Demonic Stones is too rare and no one can absorb so many.
"I dare to ask senior, how much can be absorbed at most?" Ling Xiao asked hurriedly.
[It depends on your cultivation level. Based on the level in the late stage of foundation building, the maximum number is 20! 】The towering tree thought for a moment and answered.
"What about the middle stage of foundation building?"
【15 pieces! 】
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, then laughed.
Then he and Ming Hu could absorb a total of 35 demon stones, which was enough.
After all, this amount is something other monks would never dream of!
And as the cultivation level increases, the number can continue to increase!
"Thank you, senior, for clarifying my doubts!"
Ling Xiao bowed to the ground solemnly.
[It's okay. If I can meet a talkative guy like you, I can help you. It doesn't hurt! What's more, this strange plant parasitic in your body is really an eye-opener for me! 】
The towering tree changed the topic and returned to the small tree.
"Senior, do you know the origin of Xiao Shu?" Ling Xiao thought and asked.
[I don’t know it, but I can feel that it is special. This feeling has not happened in more than five thousand years. 】The towering tree sighed with emotion.
"Five thousand years?"
Ling Xiao keenly captured this word.
[Yes, more than five thousand years ago, a man named Ning Qianqiu came here. He also brought a strange tree that could talk. That one was even more powerful. It had transformed into a human form and had practiced to an unimaginable level. realm……】
【It’s Brother Alu! 】
[Yes, it’s called Alu. 】
[Grandpa, do you know where Brother Alu has gone? 】
[This old man doesn’t know that after they entered the forest, they never came out again. Maybe they left somewhere else. 】
【……】
The two trees, one big and one small, were talking to each other quickly, and Ling Xiao was listening intently.
After a while, Xiaoshu found out the appearance of his "Big Brother Green".
He is three inches tall, has a green body, is as fat as a baby, and likes to pick his nose.
Ling Xiao said hurriedly: "It is not good to pick your nose. It can easily cause nasal mucosal damage, nasal infection, nasal bleeding, nasal folliculitis, nasal septum perforation and other symptoms."
Xiaoshu has a natural admiration for his big brother, and Ling Xiao is really afraid that he will learn this way in the future.
Xiaoshu was startled, "Is it so dangerous? Isn't Brother Alu very dangerous?" 】
"Yes, so we have to practice hard and try to see your big brother as soon as possible to remind him not to do this!"
【Um! 】
The towering tree fell silent and had nothing to say.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to continue refining the next demon stone, his expression suddenly changed slightly and he stood up and opened the door.
I saw two figures walking quickly from the direction of the teleportation array.
The supply team has arrived.
What a coincidence, these two people are the former guards of Wanmo Gusen. The night watchmen who followed He Shizhong before left were named Zheng Maocai and Yan Michang.
Ling Xiao and Nangong Zhu took the initiative to walk out of the wooden house and lowered their bodies.
"long time no see."
Ling Xiao cupped his hands and let out a haha.
The two people greeted them with smiles, nodded casually to Ling Xiao, and said with a smile: "Looking at the expressions of Miss Nangong and Fellow Daoist Ling, the reinforcement of the formation pattern went very smoothly today? Then we can rest assured!"
Zheng Maocai took out a storage bag, handed it to Nangong Zhu, and said with a smile: "Miss Nangong, these are the materials needed to strengthen the formation pattern next month. All of them have been prepared. By then, you only need to bring them together to create Effective. Inside, there are two new brushes. The previous brushes should be worn out..."
He said with a smile, looking at Nangong Zhu without blinking.
Unfortunately, the female tyrannosaurus had a dull attitude and just nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work."
Yan Michang took over the conversation, took out a few food boxes, and said with a smile: "Is Miss Nangong still used to being a guard like this? Senior He said that I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to teach you my experience here. Today I will We have specially prepared wine and food, how about we chat while eating?"
When Nangong Zhu heard that there was food and drink, he finally became interested. He opened the food box without ceremony, grabbed a few pieces of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Such a rude eating appearance was so inconsistent with her beauty that Yan Michang and Zheng Maocai were stunned.
And what Nangong Zhu said next was even more hurtful.
“Not very tasty.”
Nangong Zhu swallowed these pieces of meat, and while commenting, she couldn't help but glance at Ling Xiao, and missed the crocodile meat that the latter cooked.
Although Ling Xiao has many shortcomings such as being reckless, a thief, dirty, and greedy for money, his cooking skills are truly unparalleled!
Thinking of this, Nangong Zhu could hardly suppress his greed. He glanced at Zheng and Yan and asked, "Do you have anything else to do? I have to go hunting for monsters, and I really don't have time to entertain you."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Zheng and Yan suddenly got excited. They clapped their chests and said, "Miss Nangong, I've been waiting here with the intention of hunting monsters! Since the reinforcement of the array pattern this month has been completed, why don't you come with us?" Form a team, the three of us join forces, what monster can’t be taken down?”
As for why there were only three people instead of four, only God knows.
Ling Xiao, who was ignored intentionally or unintentionally, was unmoved by this. He only squatted down and took the opportunity to steal the dishes in the food box, not sparing any of them.
While tasting it, I commented silently in my mind.
Well, this dish is not cooked properly.
Well, this dish is a bit tricky, but unfortunately the technique is not up to par and the spiritual energy is seriously lost.
Hey, this dish can still be cooked like this, I learned it!
While he was eating, his arm was suddenly pulled by someone, and he was lifted up by Nangong Zhu.
"Sorry, I made an appointment with Ling Xiao to hunt monsters together. As you know, he and I need to develop a tacit understanding so that we can be safer in the forest in the future."
Nangong Zhu took Ling Xiao's arm and said calmly.
Ling Xiao's heart sank.
If you don’t want to be harassed by them, why are you bringing me as a temporary worker?
As expected, Zheng and Yan could not refute Nangong Zhu's reasons, but when their eyes fell on Ling Xiao, they looked slightly cold.
"I see, then I won't bother you any longer."
"Miss Nangong, see you later. I wish you two good luck in hunting monsters!"
Zheng and Yan said nothing more, said goodbye to Nangong Zhu, and left slowly.
Did you forget to say goodbye to me?
Ling Xiao looked at the two people's backs and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
It’s not like I want to be this light bulb. I’ve been cultivating for decades. Why are I so jealous here?
"Do you night watchers have very few female cultivators?" Ling Xiao asked in a low voice.
"I don't know!" Nangong Zhu said angrily.
Obviously, the female tyrannosaurus also didn't like the familiar attitude of Zheng and Yan just now, as if they had never seen a woman before, which in vain lowered the status of the night watchman.
Ling Xiao glanced at her and couldn't help but laugh.
Ridicule is ridicule, to be fair, the beauty of this female tyrannosaurus is indeed worthy of being remembered.
But even she herself didn't seem to realize this.
A beautiful and powerful female cultivator is liked by all men. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if she could form a spiritual couple with her and fly together in the world of immortality in the future?
Zheng and Yan are not exempt from the common customs, so they try their best to show their goodwill when they meet, hoping to win the beauty's heart, and let Ling Xiao watch a good show for nothing.
