In a chaotic shape, Wu Gen staggered down from the fire platform and glanced at the black mass of meat on the platform.
When he was infected with Chaos in the Great Relic Continent, although Wu Yi helped him kill it, some of it still remained in his body. This time, under the tempering of the Heavenly Furnace Formation, he finally spit out the last bit left in his body.
Joining the battle this time is a rare opportunity for Wu Gen, who has never experienced orthodox cultivation. Some undetectable internal injuries accumulated over the years were eliminated one by one and consolidated. Moreover, Wu Gen vaguely felt that his personal world had become much more solid, and his realm would soon be able to break through again.
"Although the Heavenly Furnace Formation can strengthen the human body, its fire quality is not small, and it needs to be quenched in time to eliminate its dryness. My dear, take him to the cold spring and let him take some cooling herbs from the valley." Mu. Bai gave a faint order, shook his hand, put away the nine pennants, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Let's go, let's cool down while the body is still warm." Yuhao pulled Wu Gen, who was already a little exhausted, and walked out with a smile.
After leaving the valley, less than a mile away, there was a sound of springs in the mountains. After walking through a section of road paved with stones, we came to a mountain col where spring water gathered to form a clear pool.
The strange thing is that the grass is luxuriant elsewhere, but the frost here is unique. There is a layer of white frost on the stones beside the pool.
"This is the cold spring, and it is also one of the wonders of Junshan. The water from this spring is chilling to the bones, and can strengthen the human body that has been tempered by the Heavenly Furnace Formation. To be honest, not many people can use this spring, it depends on the master's mood.
If the old man doesn't want to do it, it won't be easy even if you are the master of the Ascension Hall. The master's lineage has guarded Junshan for generations, and his status is somewhat aloof. "Yu Hao turned her head and turned her back to Qingtan.
Wu Gen took off his clothes and submerged himself into the water. The water is not deep, just up to your neck when you sit in it. As soon as I entered the water, the chill penetrated my body like the coolness of autumn, covering my skin and flesh and going straight into my bones.
This kind of chill is like the flames in the Heavenly Furnace Formation. It doesn't hurt the clothes, but it goes straight into the body. Soon, the coolness of autumn turned into the coldness of winter, and Wu Gen's eyebrows and hair were gradually stained with frost.
The bones that were originally soft due to the Heavenly Furnace Formation gradually became hard under the silent moistening chill, and the slightly mottled yellow color became smooth, just like gold ingots freshly baked.
Putting a dark red pill on the stone beside her, Yuhao said softly: "This is the Yin Yang Xuan Ling Pill. Master only refined three pills and gave one to me. This pill contains a huge amount of essence. Let's talk about the living dead. As long as there is a breath, you can hang people's lives.
Even if the body is not injured, whether it is a martial artist or a Qi practitioner. One drop can also replenish the foundation and transform the body. But I advise you not to use it now. You can't practice Qi. You can't absorb the spiritual energy if you eat it, and your body may burst. "
How can the sky always lose its pie? Wu Gen looked at the purple elixir on the stone and sighed, without taking it in his hand. His expression was a little complicated, "Hey, you are so good to me, okay. I’m a little scared, I don’t dare to ask for this pill.”
"Really?" Yuhao turned around.
There was a splash of water in the pool and a splashing sound. Wu Gen hurriedly covered his body and looked resentfully at Yu Hao who turned a blind eye.
Fortunately, due to the fire that had accumulated in his body, the hot steam rose up from the pool, blocking the sight of some concubines, so that Wu Gen did not have to face him naked.
"People have seven emotions and six desires. Except for close relatives, any gift given by others is intended to be repaid. Even if you are a lover who is as gluey as glue, when you fall in love, you want to reach for the stars and the moon for him, but in the end you don't want to be able to receive him. It's in my arms." Yuhao said coldly, looking at Wu Gen with emotionless eyes.
"Wu Gen, the reason why I am helping you so much is because I am interested in your prospects and hope that I can achieve ten times the harvest in the future.
I was born into the humblest family of a shepherd. When I was young, my parents were beaten to death because they accidentally bumped into the master's kid. Fortunately, Master passed by and brought me back to help me replenish my foundation. He also found a way to send me to the Dengtian Temple to work.
Ordinarily, Master has arranged everything for me, so I should be content. But every night when people are quiet, the bloody corpses of my parents will still appear in my dreams, reminding me that if I don't control the power, sooner or later I will end up like them again.
However, the current Dengtian Palace cannot provide me with such an opportunity. In the eyes of those old die-hards, I was just a lucky person. I was lucky enough to be in the palace with the heirs of various big families. A huge pie has been dropped on my head. What else do they want? Won't give me any chance.
In fact, you and I have many similarities. We both have no foundation, but have ambitions that are inconsistent with our own strength. However, unlike me, who has made no achievements, you, a human race, have accumulated a lot of power in Kuntian Continent by your own means. I admit that I am not as good as you in this regard.
From the moment I learned your identity, I chose you. Because people like me can’t recruit many capable people. That's why I thought of investing some money in advance when you were in a weak position, hoping to give me a good return in the future. "
Through the mist, Wu Gen looked at this woman who liked men's clothing and could only be described as handsome. The embarrassment on her face gradually faded away, and her body gradually straightened.
The person in front of her cannot be judged by common sense, and she cannot be treated as an ordinary woman. She is smart and ambitious. For her own goals, she may cooperate with various people to organize her own forces, including humans like herself who are no different from enemies to the shepherds.
Such a person is terrifying, because she may turn against her at any time because of interests. It is also respectable because her purpose is pure and she is willing to sacrifice everything for this purpose.
Wu Gen had no doubt that if she could help her ascend to a high position, she would not hesitate to give him her most precious possessions, and she would also stab herself to death on the bedside after losing the use value.
"I would like to ask what happened to the family that killed your parents." Wu Gen sat in the water, leaning against the cold stone wall, facing Yuhao openly.
Yuhao frowned, with a hint of imperceptible pain in her eyes. She took a deep breath of the cold air beside the pond, "I killed all their young men and threw their children into slavery to other families."
Wu Gen breathed a sigh of relief and buried his head in the water. After a long time, he emerged from the water and spat out a column of water like a whale. With a sway of his body, he swam to Yuhao's side and put away the Yin Yang Xuanling Pill on the stone, "I'll take this pill, thank you."
Yu Hao was a little puzzled when she saw this, "Why didn't you dare to ask for it just now, but now you take the initiative to ask for it."
"Please turn your face away, I'm shy." Wu Gen said with a joking look on his face.
Yuhao snorted coldly and turned her body away.
"It's very simple. As you said, people have seven emotions and six desires. You still know how to take revenge, which proves that you still have humanity in you and are not a monster without emotions.
As long as he is a human being, no matter how much his desires are, I dare to discuss business with him. But if it is that kind of monster, I would rather hide far away, so as not to die one day without knowing how. "Wu Gen looked at the elixir in his hand with a smile. This thing must be very expensive, otherwise Mu Bai wouldn't have only refined three.
Yu Hao was slightly startled, a little noncommittal, and after a moment she said: "Wu Gen, can you tell me your plans in Kuntian Continent, so that I can prepare in advance."
Wu Gen put down the elixir and looked at himself, "Can you please let me put on my clothes? Although cooperation requires sincerity, there is no need to be so naked."
Yuhao snorted coldly, stood up and walked far away. Now she suddenly realized that she seemed to have made some miscalculations.
The man behind him was less decisive and more rebellious. Can such a person really achieve great things? Could it be that what the intelligence said about playing with four small families, acting ruthlessly, and having clear grievances and so on are all false.
After putting on his clothes, Wu Gen came to Yu Hao's side. The body's inflammation has subsided, and now it feels like taking a bite of snow in the dog days of summer, feeling indescribably comfortable.
The two found a flat ground and sat down. Looking at Wu Gen's unscrupulous eyes, Yu Hao felt that her guess just now was correct. This guy was essentially a ruffian.
"You can talk about it." Yuhao gritted her teeth secretly and sat up straight.
"Okay. I don't know how to start." Wu Gen extended his hand to indicate.
Yuhao threw a green fruit over and said, "I don't want to hear the rest. What are you going to do next? Should you continue to explore the territory of Zuoheng Road?"
After taking a bite of the green fruit, an indescribable anger spread through his body, and Wu Gen groaned in comfort. There are indeed many good things on Junshan Mountain, but unfortunately I don't dare to pick them, so I can only ask Yuhao for them.
Once, when Wu Gen saw no one around, he wanted to secretly pick a red pill. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a strong sense of malice and he quickly retracted his hand in fright. Mu Bai didn't know what kind of method he used, but he could actually see every corner of the secret realm here.
Pointing to the sky, Wu Gen said vaguely: "That person can't hear it."
Yu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm around, Master and the others will neither hear nor see or listen."
Wu Gen nodded, "I'm going to go to Iron Hand Province next. By the way, Ji Yesuan still knows him."
"Ji Yexuan, he, he is the second son of the Ji family, why, you know him." Yu Hao was a little strange, wondering how Wu Gen got involved with the Ji family. The Ji family is the lord of the Iron Hand Province. Although the Iron Hand Province has experienced frequent civil strife in recent years and is relatively weak, it is still a province after all.
"There is some connection." When it came to business, Wu Gen became serious and briefly talked about his relationship with Ji Yexuan and his plan to lead troops to attack the divine sect in the future.
After hearing this, Yu Hao couldn't help but look happy. With such a strong support, things in the future would be much easier to handle. But then his face darkened again, "After so many years of recuperation, many people in the upper echelons of the Shepherd no longer want to start a war, and are just trying to get by. How can we make them start a war against the divine religion?"
Wu Gen smiled and said, "It's easy to handle. Don't fight big first, but fight small. If they don't fight, we will fight. Give me a fleet. As long as they see the huge profits I brought back from the cult, these people will fight sooner or later. Will join in.
Moreover, if there are too many small fights, it will sooner or later lead to the revenge of the divine religion. At that time, they will not be able to do it even if they do not participate. "
"Okay, although I can't give you more help, I will try my best to deal with you in the Dengtian Palace. Just go ahead and do it. By the way, the Tianlu Formation actually has three levels. What you have experienced today is only the first level. , I will ask Master to let you enter the second and third levels as much as possible. The stronger you are, the smoother our affairs will be in the future."
"Okay, please." Wu Gen couldn't help but get excited after hearing this. It seems that my body was not in vain today, and I got another opportunity in my life.
