"I want to go left."
The person who spoke was none other than Lu Ran.
There was no expression on his face, not even his eyes were firm.
Completely ignoring the confused, disappointed, angry, strange, and idiotic looks others cast at him.
In the audience, only King Fu was smiling.
"Left side, are you talking about the left side?" King Fu turned around and asked inexplicably. But since King Fu spoke first, no one else dared to interrupt.
Lu Ran just nodded.
King Fu smiled mysteriously, nodded in response, and replied cheerfully: "You can go if you want."
His eyes swept around and finally landed on Li Jiangliu: "Jiang'er, please be a companion."
Li Jiangliu's face turned ugly for a moment when his name was called, but he soon returned to normal and nodded to Prince Fu.
Li Jiangliu was deeply frightened by the meaning of King Fu's words, but he soon felt that he should just keep an eye on Xiao Haizi to prevent any trouble.
So the troops were divided into three groups.
Lu Ran and Li Jiangliu went to the left, and King Fu took three other boys and girls, Gu Xing, and seven or eight sergeants to the cave on the right, while the remaining sergeants stayed on standby.
The cave explored by "Treasure Hunting Fire Spirit" is exactly halfway up the mountain, and there is no road accessible. It would be difficult for ordinary people to reach it without the help of tools if they don't have some climbing skills or physical training skills.
Although Lu Ran had some floating skills in the water, when he arrived on land, he was just an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy. He saw King Fu flying up the mountain wall with Li Huajuan and Li Yuexuan, and also saw Gu Xing and Li Chunfu. , two or three monks followed closely behind, and when they saw the seven or eight soldiers climbing up without any effort, Lu Ran stood on the lower wall of the cave on the left, a little embarrassed, and hesitated to move.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Jiangliu asked with concern, with a smile on his face.
Lu Ran didn't answer, and was already ready to start climbing the rock with his bare hands.
"Brother, don't worry, you might as well try this." Li Jiangliu took out a small white bottle from his arms and poured out a few pills in various colors.
Li Jiangliu thought for a while, left a small blue pill in his hand, and handed it to Lu Ran.
Seeing Lu Ran's suspicious face, Li Jiangliu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not poison. It's a pill to strengthen your body. I just made a batch not long ago. You might as well give it a try." Li Jiangliu raised his chin and motioned for Lu Ran to take it.
Lu Ran took the pill, and before he could say anything, Li Jiangliu flew up the mountain wall and entered the cave on the left.
Looking back, he stretched out his hand to Lu Ran, motioning for him to come up quickly.
The blue pill is about the size of a fingernail, with some black and gray impurities in the blue. It is not round, and the surface is bumpy.
After taking a whiff, it turned out to be a little sweet.
An elixir?
Lu Ran hesitated and swallowed it in one gulp.
The taste was not bad, it could even be said to be a bit delicious, but before he could taste it carefully, Lu Ran only felt a sharp pain coming from his stomach.
It spreads from the abdomen to the toes, then turns from the toes back to the abdomen, and then rises from the abdomen to the top of the head.
It was as if the pill was swimming around in the body three times.
After walking three times, it hurt from the top of my head to the tips of my toes.
Fortunately, the pain gradually disappeared soon.
It was so painful that I closed my eyes tightly and my whole body twitched, like a hysterical person.
After opening my eyes again, it was like being reborn.
Not only is the vision in front of me much clearer, but what I hear in my ears, what I think in my heart, and all my senses become stronger and fuller.
He made a tentative jump, as if he felt weightless. Although he still staggered a little, he successfully climbed to the cave halfway up the mountain.
"Brother, look, I just said, it works."
Li Jiangliu's smile remains the same.
The two of them went in tandem to explore the cave.
Lu Ran's body continued to undergo wonderful changes.
In the dark cave, Li Jiangliu's back was clearly visible. He turned around and smiled in a scary voice: "Don't worry, little brother, the medicine will only take an hour, and you will recover soon."
Lu Ran wanted to nod his thanks, but unexpectedly, with a slight nod, his whole body flew out like a big weight.
He obviously felt that he was as light as a cloud, but he fell as hard as a mountain falling to the ground.
"Your current body and mind, because of the pills, are already close to the Red Immortal. It is much more powerful than someone like me who has practiced for three to five years. So from now on, you should not move too much, because your physique is close to that of an immortal. The so-called human and The difference between immortals, first, is that the perception of priorities has risen to a new level."
In front of Lu Ran's eyes, Li Jiangliu was slowly moving forward in an incredible slow motion, explaining as he went.
Why does this scene and this back look so familiar?
Lu Ran followed hurriedly behind, either making a hole in the ground with his kick, or punching a big hole in the wall of the cave.
Is this the power of "immortal"? Lu Ran stopped talking. For a moment, he suddenly thought of many irrelevant things.
The two of them walked forward like this for about two sticks of incense. The effect of the medicine gradually faded, and Lu Ran gradually adapted to it. While calming down and observing the situation in the cave carefully, he talked to Li Jiangliu.
There is actually nothing special about the cave. The inner walls are also made of stones, slightly lighter in color than those outside the cave. They are connected one to another, like the scales of some kind of beast.
This same and monotonous scene always makes people feel that after walking for a while, they have returned to the starting point, as if they have to start all over again.
But Lu Ran knew that they were not trapped in the maze, but were moving forward. The effect of the pills allowed him to distinguish the differences in shape, size and even texture of each stone. Normally they looked almost the same, but now when he looked at them again, he realized that even if they were the same stone, they were essentially different.
The road is a bit winding, but it always leads deep into the hinterland of the mountain. Lu Ran could even feel through the airflow that there was something at the end of the cave.
His senses become clearer, his thinking becomes more active, and his emotions become extremely intense.
Gradually, the whole person becomes out of control.
Lu Ran looked at Li Jiangliu's back and listened to him laughing from time to time.
He felt more and more that this figure looked familiar.
The more I look at it, the more I feel like... I don't like it very much.
The more you listen to him talk, the more disgusted you become.
Li Jiangliu was a young man of few words, but after walking in this cave for a long time and not seeing anything, his guard was relaxed and he was a little frightened. There was only a living person like Lu Ran around him, so he had to find something to say: "I said... ...Brother, why are you walking to the left alone?"
Lu Ran's voice was a little urgent in the darkness: "No. It's nothing."
"Don't you think you can find some unexpected treasure if you go to the left? Or do you know what is hidden in the heart of the mountain?"
"No. It's not."
"Little brother, I'm not telling you, you, the 'destined person', are really boring."
Lu Ran didn't say anything, and just murmured in his mouth and repeated: "Indeed. People who are destined to be together are really boring."
"You said that you, after suffering so much, came here, but you chose such a path. Even when you finally came here, you didn't know what you were looking for, and you couldn't even take a look at it. Did you think you were too much? It’s a bit worse.”
"It's a pity that the 'destined person' is a cultivator in the world and a person with the highest qualifications."
"Tell me, is it possible that without the 'destined person', things didn't go well for them there, and nothing was found in the end?"
"You said, if you are a 'destined person', then will I be a 'perfect person'?"
Li Jiangliu kept chattering, and Lu Ran felt like he kept hearing the words "destined person" in his ears.
He also disliked these four words.
He also disliked Li Jiangliu.
I have always disliked it.
Li Jiangliu heard the young man behind him suddenly stop and speak.
"I asked to go to the left because I don't want to be around you guys anymore."
Lu Ran explained why he wanted to go to the left word for word.
