Lu Feng's mood was also very heavy at the moment. Since the old woman left, every moment he spent alone in the stone room was extremely painful.
He is not afraid of death, but the process of waiting for death is really uncomfortable.
Long wait.
The stone door was opened again.
Lu Feng was still thinking to himself that he had finally come to the end of his life, but he never thought that the person who came this time was not the old woman from before, but three or four girls who looked very young.
Everyone had a smile on their face, and they were very innocent. They didn't look like they were here to deliver "death news" at all.
This made Lu Feng a little stunned.
Is it because his death is such a happy event for them that they are so happy?
Or is it that he didn't know the details and was just surprised because he came to see him as an outsider?
Lu Feng thought for a while.
The leading woman bowed slightly and said, "Young Master, the high priest has invited you."
Lu Feng was startled and realized that the high priest mentioned by the woman was probably the old woman he had seen before. He immediately walked out.
The scene outside the stone room was completely different from what he had imagined.
Lu Feng originally thought that the Tianyu clan lived in the Armyun Mountain, and the internal environment must be extremely desolate, with all rocks and mountains, but now, what appeared in his eyes was a vibrant mountain scenery;
The entire space is also quite bright because of the lighting crystals embedded around it.
As far as the eye can see, there are thick vines attached to it, and the branches and leaves extending from them are as big as a quilt, which is very strange.
From the overall environment, it looks a bit like being inside a high mountain. The space is very wide and opens up from top to bottom.
The stone chamber that Lu Feng was in was dug right below this space. When he walked out of the stone chamber, there was a huge dustpan-shaped object with two thick vines wrapped around it, extending upward.
At the leading woman's signal, Lu Feng stepped onto this strange dustpan. ..o
The next moment, as the leading woman exuded a soft and moist aura, the strange dustpan suddenly slowly rose up and was lifted up by the two entangled vines.
Lu Feng calmed down, adapted to this strange situation, and finally took a moment to sense his own condition.
Leaving the confinement of the aura of the unparalleled thorns in the stone room, the spiritual energy in the body finally responded again.
Lu Feng eagerly sensed his soul disk and saw that the medicinal aura belonging to the old woman was lingering on his soul disk like a shackle, making it difficult for him to exert much strength.
Although his strength is still limited, there are advantages, that is, under the restriction of this aura, his soul disk, which is on the verge of being broken, has stabilized, enough to support him until he meets Ruoshui.
With the weak power that could be used, Lu Feng could vaguely hear a few words of conversation between the women who were staying behind.
"I heard that my great-grandmother said that every time an outsider comes, they will perform that kind of ceremony. Will it be the same this time?"
The woman who spoke had rosy cheeks, as if she had applied sunburn.
Another woman smiled coquettishly and said, "I also heard my great-grandmother say this. If there really is such a ceremony, have you decided which young man to choose?"
The shorter woman raised her head and stared blankly at Lu Feng, who was retreating in the sky, and said longingly: "He is so good-looking, I want to choose him."
The gentle woman next to him said timidly: "My great-grandmother said, just looking good is not enough. You have to be physically strong. We should choose the burlier young man." The woman who spoke first pouted. Mouth, praying: "Anyone can be assigned, as long as he is not that gray-haired old man, he looks very useless at first glance."
After hearing this, the two girls nearby also quickly started praying innocently, full of piety.
Lu Feng vaguely heard these words and felt confused for a while;
Could it be that the high priest wanted him to perform some rituals before his death?
In doubt, the strange dustpan stopped and climbed up
to a height of tens of meters.
The leading woman once again spread a soft breath towards the vines on the dustpan;
Then, as if the dustpan was pushed to the shore by the waves, it stopped on a small stone terrace in front of the entrance of a high-altitude grotto.
"Go, the high priest and the others are waiting for you inside."
The woman made a gesture towards the stone staircase in front of her to indicate that she should move forward.
As Lu Feng stepped forward, he asked in surprise: "Besides the high priest, is there anyone else?"
The woman laughed flatly, ignored it, and left the high-rise cave sitting on the dustpan.
Lu Feng walked into the grotto. The space inside was much wider than he thought. There was a huge round stone table in the center and seven seats on the sides;
In the center of the stone table stood a blue staff, with a sapphire as big as an ostrich egg embedded in it, exuding a rich vitality.
Hearing the sound of Lu Feng's arrival, a door suddenly opened on the other side of the grotto. Seven figures about the same age as the old woman Lu Feng had seen before slowly walked out. They were all wearing the same clothes as the old woman and stood on the stone table one after another. beside.
All of them exuded the terrifying aura at the level of the Heavenly Soul Realm.
Lu Feng looked at this scene in astonishment, as if he had never expected that the Tianyu Clan still had such a terrifying background to this day.
At this time, the blue staff standing in the center of the stone table suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light, and a figure gradually condensed in the light.
Hao Ran was the old woman Lu Feng had met.
The appearance of the old woman immediately caused the other seven old men to bow down and salute, saying in unison: "High Priest".o
Lu Feng was shocked by this scene. He never thought that the high priest who had been in contact with him for so long would be the same existence as the ghost pavilion shadow.
The figure of the high priest is concentrated on the stone table, with the other seven old men occupying the two wings;
Blue light poured on the high priest, and the atmosphere became solemn and solemn at this moment.
Lu Feng was about to ask in surprise.
The voice of the high priest came first: "Are you willing to join our clan?"
When the seven old men standing by heard this, their faces froze, and expressions of surprise flashed across their faces, but none of them spoke a word to refute.
Lu Feng was also very surprised and looked at the shadow suspiciously: "If I join your clan, will I not have to die? Will all my companions still be able to leave alive?"
The high priest smiled peacefully: "Since you have joined our clan, they will be our guests and will not be embarrassed. The things I promised you before will still be fulfilled."
Lu Feng was happy, but he didn't show it. He knew that the high priest's change of attitude would not be without reason. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "But what happened to Ruoshui? Or maybe it was Beijingzhi" What happened to the water?"
Lu Feng could only think of these two points. Only in this way might the people in front of him have their thoughts on him.
After all, if he refines the water of Northern Essence, then he should be able to achieve the functions that the five elements of pure water can play, or even better.
"Both of them are fine," the high priest said frankly with a serious look on his face: "It's just that now our Tianyu clan only relies on the Five Elements of pure water, so I'm afraid we still can't change the situation easily."...
Lu Feng reminded: "Ruoshui's physique already has a chance to improve."
The high priest nodded: "You mean she was sacrificed by the Five Elements Pure Fire Body? Although this opportunity is rare, it will do more harm than good to our clan and herself."
"What do you mean?" Lu Feng's heart tightened.
The high priest said: "Originally, our clan has a secret method to use the water of the Northern Essence to help improve the Five Elements pure water constitution, but now we need to help her refine the power of the sacrifice first, and use a more dangerous hedging force to improve her constitution. OK, given her fragile body, this method cannot be accomplished overnight. It can take as short as three years, or as long as ten or eight years before the results can be seen."
Lu Feng frowned, he didn't have that much time to spend on this, and he couldn't bear to leave Ruoshui alone.
The high priest continued: "And if I choose you, it will be different
, since you can refine the other four types of profound qi, then this Northern Essence water may also be refined. Once the five qi are unified, it will be able to work immediately. "
Lu Feng was not moved by the words of the high priest. Instead, his face became even more serious and he asked bluntly: "If this is the case, if the water of Beijing is refined by me, how can the water be safe?"
The high priest was stunned, "Are you worried about this?"
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he explained: "It was just to test your character, and the water of Northern Essence that I just threatened was not enough;"
"The remaining Northern Essence water in our clan is enough for you to refine and absorb, leaving behind the original power. Once you have absorbed it, it will be more than enough to enhance the Saintess's physique."
After Lu Feng heard this, his frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, and he quietly put back the suicide note written to Jiang Ruoyun hidden in his sleeve.
Judging from the current situation, there should be no need for such a suicide note.
If Xuying was just a test before, the two letters that were taken away probably wouldn't have reached Tang Yuan's hands. They must have been opened and read.
Thinking of the slightly cheesy last words in those two letters and such an ending, Lu Feng felt relieved;
If this person is not dead and the letter is delivered, then his old face will be somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing Lu Feng in a daze, the high priest spoke slowly and solemnly, with a hint of warning:
"You should know that I am not begging you to refine, but giving you a choice. Although our clan needs to borrow the power of the Northern Essence Water, we have survived these years, and we are not in a hurry for this moment. moment; but you are different. If you do not refine this profound energy in time, your soul plate will be shattered when the breath I gave you dissipates."
Lu Feng was startled, and suddenly realized that the pill he had swallowed earlier was mainly for this effect.
At that moment, he bowed his hands to the high priest and made a thank you gift.
He asked respectfully: "I don't know, what are the restrictions on joining the nobility? In other words, what do the nobles need to borrow the power of the Northern Essence Water for?"
Although he didn't have much choice now, Lu Feng still thought it would be better to ask clearly. If it was difficult to leave here after joining, he might as well fake his death in advance so that Jiang Ruoyun and others could bear to leave.
Thinking of this, Lantian Yiqi's figure appeared in Lu Feng's mind inexplicably, and details emerged one after another, making his eyes gradually gain a hint of depth.
What if Lantian Yiqi also encountered the same situation as him? It's hard to escape. Could it be that he was also deceived by pretending to be dead?
All just so that he can leave without any worries?
