If a red-hot cauldron is suddenly placed in front of one's face and one is asked to dig into it, everyone would be frightened.
Just when everyone was confused, they saw the fat man who had been wiping his sweat coming to the cauldron to exchange a few words with the man carrying the mace, and then got into the cauldron with the help of the latter.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly gathered around. However, the scorched smell they imagined did not come, and there was no scream from the medicine cauldron, which made them feel relieved.
Seeing that the fat man who had taken the brunt of the attack had disappeared from the furnace, the "hands-off mace" also tried to stir the furnace with his long mace, but unexpectedly no trace of the fat man was found again. He shrank back without hesitation and got into the furnace. Entered the mouth of the tripod.
"Haha... There are not many tokens, so you have to hurry up!" The master of the East Peak said with a faint smile.
"Damn it!" Although Wu Ren was extremely reluctant, he thought about it. He was really unwilling to give up like this. He also called a few followers in front of him, asked them to stand in front of him, and then lifted up his clothes. After wrapping his head until only two eyes were left, he led his followers into the furnace.
Hearing that there were not many tokens, and seeing these living people disappearing at the mouth of the cauldron one after another, the onlookers around them finally became anxious, and they crowded in like a swarm without caring about the scorching heat in the cauldron.
Not long after, there were a few scattered figures left outside the cauldron. And at the end of the list were Lu Chun and Lang Yun.
When it comes to their thoughts on entering the Yuhu Sect, these two people are more enthusiastic than anyone else. But they are now ranked last. Is it because they are too modest? No.
Lu Chun originally wanted to squeeze forward, but unfortunately he was the weakest among the people present. Whenever he arrived in front of the cauldron, he would be pulled back, and in the end he would wait behind him in despair.
Although this Lang Yun was powerful, he was nervous because the two peak masters of the Jade Pot Sect had just looked at him. He always wanted to leave a good impression in front of them, and he resisted the urge to compete with everyone until the end. .
After going back and forth, they were the only two people left outside the furnace.
After the third to last person entered the furnace with a whoosh, the two of them arrived in front of the furnace at almost the same time and were about to get into it.
"Brother Lu Chun, why don't you first..." Although Lang Yun said this, he did not let go of the furnace cauldron in his hand.
However, Lu Chun felt that he had no chance, but he didn't see Lang Yun's little thoughts, so he waved his hand and retreated behind: "You should go first. Looking at the current situation, you are not far behind!"
Lang Yun nodded without saying much, and fell into the cauldron with a light body.
"You are so humble," the North Peak Master, who was standing aside with an expressionless face, suddenly said when he saw that only Lu Chun was left in front of him.
Lu Chun didn't expect the man in front of him to speak suddenly, and was quite surprised. However, he no longer had high hopes for joining the Yuhu Sect, and he was not that nervous: "Well, the outcome is the same anyway, so why bother arguing about this matter..."
"You're a very open-minded kid," the North Peak Master said again.
"Whether you think about it or not, everything is destined anyway. Even if I take the lead, I can't change anything." Lu Chun said with a bitter smile.
"Hahaha, although you are a humble boy, you have an interesting temperament..." The North Peak Master laughed, took something out of his arms and threw it out, "I see that your qualifications are mediocre, if you go in like this, you will die. , please take this bottle of 'rootless water', I hope it can help you hold on for a few more breaths."
Lu Chun's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had seen this rootless water before in a book. There is a saying: All the water in the well and the river has roots. And this rootless water falls from the sky and is eaten without touching the ground, so it is called rootless water.
Although this rootless water sounds simple, it falls from the sky and is stained with a lot of impurities. It needs to be processed to be completely pure. Therefore, among the "rootless water", there are also superior and inferior grades.
After Lu Chun opened the bottle cork slightly, he felt that the "rootless water" in the bottle had a sweet and refreshing fragrance. It must be the best medicinal material, and the brilliance in his eyes was even stronger.
When Lu Chun made medicine for the old lady before, all the medicinal materials had been carefully selected, but the only thing that was not pure enough was the water source for the medicine.
Taoist medicine has a saying: medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements, and food supplements are not as good as water supplements. The water sources required for traditional medicine include: rootless water, spring water, well water, stream water, stream water, river water, etc. Although they appear to be the same, they contain energies and information that are difficult to elucidate.
Now that he had obtained the pure rootless water of the Yuhu Sect, Lu Chun couldn't help but feel overwhelmed...
"Boy, what are you doing standing still? Don't hurry up yet!" The master of Beifeng saw Lu Chun looking at a bottle of "rootless water" and reminded him.
Lu Chun gritted his teeth and couldn't help but said: "Senior...can I choose to give up the trial..."
The master of Beifeng did not expect that Lu Chun would say such words. A strong color of disappointment suddenly emerged from his eyes, and his face, which was not white at all, became a bit darker.
Seeing that the North Peak Master looked wrong, the East Peak Master also hurriedly stepped forward: "Hahaha... This Jade Pot Sect is not a dragon pond or a tiger's den. Naturally, it can come and go freely. Although you have no chance to do this, we both hope that you will be able to do so in the future." I can find a better place..."
"Thank you, senior..." Lu Chun thanked him hurriedly, then gritted his teeth and continued: "But I have one more unkind request, and I hope senior can agree..."
"Oh? But it doesn't matter." The master of Dongfeng said with a faint smile.
"I hope that senior can lend me this 'rootless water' temporarily, and Lu Chun will definitely return it twice as much in the future..." Lu Chun lowered his body and begged in a low voice.
"This 'rootless water' is not a rare thing. If you need it, just take it..." The master of the East Peak was very generous, "It's just that I'm curious. This thing is neither a panacea for rebirth nor a valuable thing." Why do you cherish Liancheng's rare treasures so much?" Seeing Lu Chun's admiration for Wugen Water, the East Peak Master was a little curious.
Lu Chun had no intention of deceiving him and told him exactly how he wanted to use the rootless water to make medicine to cure the old lady.
"Haha... I didn't expect that your boy would be so filial and want to give up the opportunity to join the Jade Pot Sect for this matter..." The master of Dongfeng stroked his beard and nodded, "Although it is a pity, how can I give you indiscriminate advice on your choice? , you are away from..."
"Boy! Our Yuhu Sect is not a place where love overflows! Since you have taken my things, how can you just leave if you want to?" Before the master of the East Peak finished speaking, the master of the North Peak suddenly shouted loudly. .
"Ah?" Lu Chun was having a great conversation with the East Peak Master, but he was a little shocked when he thought he would be stopped.
"I gave you this 'rootless water' to help you overcome the current difficulties! But you want to use it to complete personal matters. You really failed me and were extremely selfish!" Beifeng Master raised his eyebrows. , pointing at Lu Chun and scolding him.
"But... I just..." Lu Chun hurriedly explained when he saw the person in front of him with a thunderous voice and sweat on his forehead.
"Have you been allowed to speak?" Beifeng Peak Master snorted angrily, interrupted Lu Chun's hesitation, and continued: "But... if you can pass this trial, the troublesome things you talk about will be mine." Let’s help you solve it!”
Lu Chun still looked depressed at first, but after hearing what the Beifeng Master said, his expression became excited: "Senior...is what you said true?"
The North Peak Master just snorted coldly, then stood aside with his arms folded and cold eyes as before, like a sculpture.
"Thank you, senior, thank you two seniors..." Lu Chun didn't care whether the two of them were talking to her or not. His face instantly became firm, and then he jumped and fell into the furnace...
"Old Zhao, why didn't I know you were so kind?" There was no one around at this time, and the East Peak Master's tone became casual.
"There are still many things you don't know." The master of Beifeng said coldly, then closed his eyes and remained silent.
"Ouch! How come there is such a big space in this furnace?"
Lu Chun was certainly very curious when he saw that the group of people had disappeared after entering the furnace. Although he had been careful in advance, as soon as he entered the cauldron, he felt his body was hanging in the air and falling. In the end, he fell solidly and stood up while holding his buttocks.
Lu Chun turned around and looked around, but his eyes were hazy. He saw a cloud of fire above his head, and red mist billowing all over his body. His eyes, ears, mouth and nose were filled with a burning hot breath, burning his internal organs.
And just for a brief moment when he looked around, he smelled a smell of burnt smell coming from underneath him.
He looked down and saw that his pair of shoes and socks had been burnt by the red bricks under his feet, causing white smoke to rise, and even sparks flickering. He hurriedly took off his shoes and socks and stepped on the ground with his bare feet.
But as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt as if he was stepping on two red-hot iron plates. He also arched his feet and jumped left and right, and hurriedly drank the rootless water!
As soon as Wugen Shui entered his mouth, Lu Chun felt a refreshing sensation in the Twelfth Floor, and his internal organs felt instantly refreshed! Not only that, he actually felt that the furnace was no longer as hot as before, and even the red mist that obscured his eyes was much lighter.
"The Jade Pot Sect is indeed well-deserved for its reputation. Even this rootless water is like a panacea!" There wasn't much in this bottle of rootless water. Lu Chun smacked his lips, feeling that some of the meaning was still unfinished.
He originally threw the bottle of rootless water on the ground, but after taking a few steps, he came back and picked it up.
"This rootless water can remain so clear. This bottle must be extraordinary. Why don't I store it? Maybe it can be used in the future!" Thinking of this, Lu Chun carefully wiped the bottle several times. , and then carefully put it into his arms.
"Huh? There seems to be something over there?"
Lu Chun wandered around the furnace for a long time like a headless fly. Suddenly he noticed a dazzling red flash in the distance, and he quickened his pace and ran towards it...
