It is a rare treasure that has made many people confused and want to snatch it, even if it has been bought by the mysterious and powerful "alchemist" with a high price of hundreds of millions.
Even though there have been many examples of disastrous failures, there are still people who continue to succeed.
The Enlightenment Monument is such a treasure.
But at this moment...
"No, no, no, you should take the picture well! You can't see the words behind it from this angle, okay? What's the point of just taking a photo of me and a stone? Let's do it again!"
Just like the artificial stone head in the scenic area with the name of the scenic spot written on it and checked in by countless tourists, someone took a photo with almost 360-degree angles.
And he, Xia Ming, was the photographer who took pictures of this "tourist".
Fuck the photographer! At the end of the day, let alone observing the Enlightenment Monument, he felt that even he who had cultivated to the sixth level seemed so nihilistic and disillusioned!
The opportunity to observe the Enlightenment Monument came so easily? So casual? ?
Who is he, where is he, what is he doing, what else is he going to do?
"Hey. What do you mean by your reluctance? Didn't they tell you that they would give you a chance to take a serious look? It won't take you more than a few minutes to take a photo!"
Ling Yao curled his lips in disgust, snatched the camera from Xia Ming's hand, took a look, and then his face brightened slightly.
"Okay, okay. These few pictures barely pass the test. It's up to you! I really don't know who is serving whom..."
After so many things, and Ling Yao personally admitting that this was the "deal" he negotiated, Xia Ming certainly knew that Ling Yao was acting stupid at this moment.
But. But this pretense is too similar, too bold, and too irritating!
Who in the right mind would have the courage to desecrate a sacred object like this! Or in front of his master!
In contrast, the "alchemist" standing nearby who didn't know the truth looked unconcerned. Xia Ming even admired his determination.
"It doesn't matter. Since I have promised, I will naturally leave enough time for everyone."
Lin Tianyu was indeed quite generous at the moment, but it seemed that Ling Yao was a little more unreasonable and wasteful.
But in fact, isn't Ling Yao greedy? Being spotted and photographed by Lin Tianyu, the protagonist, shows that this thing is exactly what Ling Yao has been searching for, and is closely related to the inner cultivation of the "Protagonist Golden Finger". Such a great opportunity, with "Nan Bo Tu's" talent that makes even Nan Guoxian admire and regret, he can benefit a lot if he can calm down and observe for a few minutes, let alone an hour.
But he can't. Not to mention that he had to find a way to convert the content on the Enlightenment Monument into resources that could be viewed at any time in the future, but he did not want to expose his talent in front of Lin Tianyu.
In fact, if Lin Tianyu had any doubts, following Zhang Zhibo's line, sooner or later he would be able to guess that the person he was doing business with today was Nan Botu, the fourth young master of the Nan family.
And when he recalls this day, he will realize that the origin of this transaction is just the superb acting skills of "Namboto" who wants to defraud resources, and he will also realize that "Namboto" is not just for showing off, but also for showing off. But he wanted to learn some skills to deal with him in turn - although Ling Yao didn't know what he needed to deal with Lin Tianyu.
After all, in his opinion, the "conflict" between him and Lin Tianyu was basically caused by Lin Tianyu.
But since Lin Tianyu is already hostile to him, he would rather act as an idiot in front of Lin Tianyu who has never seen the world but is always looking for excuses, likes to take advantage of others and has no eyesight, rather than become an ambitious and talented person. "Strong rival".
Although he is a "villain" now, he is just a "cannon fodder villain" who "passively encounters trouble" while the protagonist is on the medical line. But if one day he gets involved in the "plot" line of force and does things like "stealing teachers to learn skills", then he will be the "must-kill villain" who "takes the initiative to look for trouble"...
What are the directions of the "protagonist's" "strong rivals" and what is the fate of the "must-kill villain"? Isn't it clear enough to look at his "previous life"? Tsk, tsk, tsk, that’s miserable...
In short, although Ling Yao felt that the true energy in his body was beginning to stir after realizing the Tao rhyme on the Tao Enlightenment Monument, he could never be like Xia Ming, who just said a breakthrough in front of Lin Tianyu!
"Thank you, Master Alchemist, for your generous advice."
When Xia Ming broke away from meditation, the zhenqi surging around his body had already reached the standard of a sixth-grade master. Although he tried his best to control his expression, Ling Yao could still see the uncontrollable joy on the other person's face.
Lin Tianyu just nodded:
"I didn't tell you anything. Everything is your own chance. No need to thank me."
He seems to have the demeanor of a transcendent master.
No, little brother Xia Ming, with your attitude of awe and look of admiration... Could it be that one day the Nan family declines, you can use this friendship to climb into the protagonist's camp and become popular and popular!
It's okay if you want to thank Lin Tianyu, but you want the same treatment from me, damn it!
However, I think that when he broke through at Yueyao Peak, was promoted to the Cave Void Realm, and became a talented young man with great success, he was also so high-spirited and couldn't hide his joy. He was a little forgetful. He only remembered to thank Qiu Tianming in a hurry, and then went out to enjoy the blessings from all parties. The scenery has gone, how can you still remember to express gratitude to the Ling family? Therefore, it is human nature.
But he actually saw some shadow of himself in Xia Ming, and Ling Yao felt a little emotional for a moment.
It turns out that he once had such an appearance; it turns out that nearly fifty years have passed since those days.
Compared with then, he is now...
After experiencing so much weirdness and life and death, has he now become the kind of person he wants to be?
Not long after, the time was up, Wu Jinglong also stood up and solemnly bowed to Lin Tianyu three times. Lin Tianyu took it all this time. Ling Yao just looked through the text messages on his mobile phone and knew that Lin Tianyu had already revealed his identity when the two had a private conversation, and had also tested the extent of the Wu family's heir's feelings for Qingyou Valley before making a final decision.
Although the Wu family feels guilty and has established a new family, it is impossible to return to Qingyou Valley, but after all, they are the descendants of the disciples of Qingyou Valley. Since the descendants of the Wu family were so sincere and wanted to take a last look at the treasures that their ancestors unfortunately lost during the war years, and granted a wish, Lin Tianyu was willing to give him a little favor - but this thank you was deserved.
However, what pleased Ling Yao was that Wu Jinglong had not forgotten him, and sincerely saluted him, and even wanted to give Ling Yao two copies of the only copy in his hand. Ling Yao was so frightened that he jumped back three times and quickly declined the offer.
Just kidding, he was just doing a favor, how could he accept a heavier gift in front of Lin Tianyu. Is he still shameless? Does he want to die?
Lin Tianyu is rarely generous, so he will naturally not procrastinate. Seeing that the time was up, before Lin Tianyu could speak, Ling Yao threw the orb to Lin Tianyu and said:
"Okay. I don't know how to understand this thing. You can do it yourself. You'll have both money and goods, so you won't have long nights and dreams."
Lin Tianyu played with the orb in his hand, as if confirming its authenticity and damage, his face gradually relaxed as time went by. Ling Yao was not surprised by this - just kidding, how could the new plug-in that the protagonist finally obtained be incomplete...
Boom——
Ling Yao suddenly felt as if his brain had been hit hard, his whole body became dizzy, and his vision was blurred for a moment.
"Sorry. You may feel a little uncomfortable after the contract is terminated. But you will recover soon. There will be absolutely no sequelae."
In the blur, he heard Lin Tianyu's voice.
"Sigh... If I had known it would be so uncomfortable, I wouldn't have played."
Ling Yao's vision gradually recovered, and his headache quickly disappeared, leaving only a dull pain. He rubbed his temples, muttering dissatisfiedly, and looked at the orb in Lin Tianyu's hand that began to shine after being soaked with zhenqi.
Wait, did this orb look like this when he bought it just now?
The bronze beads are engraved with complex and smooth water patterns, and the reddish-brown rust shows the traces of time. When he first got it, he remembered that this thing didn't look so quaint and old, right?
Compared to the current antique-like form, the magic beads at that time were wrapped in yellow cloth strips written with Sanskrit and looked more like gloomy and evil cursed objects.
Hey hey hey... Where's the cloth strip? Is he hallucinating from a headache?
But Ling Yao didn't show his shock on his face. Because Lin Tianyu seemed to be very satisfied with his "harvest". After putting the things in his bag without hesitation, he handed over the promised set of pills and left in a hurry - as if he had gotten a big deal, for fear that Ling Yao seemed to regret it on the spot.
As long as the protagonist doesn't feel like he's been tricked, that's fine. Ling Yao breathed a sigh of relief. As for whether there are more or less things...it's not too late to study it when we go back.
By the time Xia Ming got the elixir and realized that he should say thank you to Ling Yao, it seemed that the time had already passed. Although he had changed his mind towards Ling Yao, who was already a little arrogant, he really couldn't pull that face off and say something nice at the moment. There was an awkward stalemate for a while. He kept bowing his head and finally received the latest news from Qi Lian Tang, and then he said:
"...Uncle Qin and the others are back. Let's go there."
Ever since Ling Yao associated Xia Ming with his past self, his attitude towards Xia Ming has become more tolerant. He nodded, but turned his gaze to Zhang Zhibo.
Although Zhang Zhibo was present just now, since Ling Yao obviously had no intention of taking him with him, and Lin Tianyu's attitude was that everything depends on what Ling Yao thinks, he didn't get much benefit from the Enlightenment Monument. He felt a bit regretful in his heart - even a brat like Xia Ming with no emotional intelligence could take advantage of him. If he had known that he wouldn't use his evil thoughts, he might have been able to get a piece of the pie from this young master. .
regret. Regret!
However, he also became more aware that pleasing "Nan Botu" would only bring benefits to him, but no harm. Be more sincere and less cliché. This is the best principle for interacting with the other party.
"Namboto" has shown no signs of killing anyone so far, and has no intention of directly driving him away, which shows that he still has a chance.
He will have to work harder next.
"The people on my side are almost here. But just now...they encountered a small situation. They seemed to have picked up a seriously injured boy on the road, and he doesn't look very decent now. But if they have to deal with it first, it may be delayed a little bit. Time. It’s up to you whether you plan to go there now or wait a little longer until they have taken care of things and come over..."
"……deal with?"
Ling Yao's eyelids twitched. After the fuss just now, he felt that the word "processing" in black market lingo was not a good thing.
Zhang Zhibo saw what Ling Yao was thinking at a glance and quickly slapped his thigh:
"Oh, I don't mean what you think. That kid is not a new face to us, and we don't know what caused him to become like that. He is a gangster on the road, so if you can help him, you should help him. …”
"Oh. There is someone behind the scenes, trying to sell a favor?"
Ling Yao touched his chin and instantly silenced Zhang Zhibo - people are tough, don't you understand?
However, Ling Yao had no intention of delving into this matter and just waved his hand:
"Okay. It doesn't matter so much, just come here together. Just tell Qin Bai and the others, and I will help you save them when the time comes."
But Ling Yao hadn't guessed it yet.
"Ah, by the way. Since you guys know each other, what's the name of the seriously injured one?"
"Li Haibo. But in the black market, no one knows whether the name is real... Hey, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
Ling Yao staggered and finally stood firm, then wiped away his sweat.
Good guys, today your protagonist’s camp came to see me as the villain, right? !
Seeing that Xia Ming didn't have any special reaction after hearing the name, Ling Yao knew that the news from Qin Bai might not have reached him yet.
According to the complaints, Qin Bai and the others were suddenly called to help today. It was Li Haibo, the illegitimate son of the Li family, who was causing trouble for the Li family. They happened to be bumped into by Nan Expo and his group who were accompanying his wife back to her parents' home.
Originally, Li Haibo just wanted to take the opportunity to sow discord between the Nan family and the Li family. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Li Jiahe who came from the black market.
To be honest, Li Jiahe is also a fighter among villains. He just finished messing with the protagonist himself, and then turned around to mess with the protagonist's younger brother.
Although he has a stupid head, he also knows that he is stupid and relies on the failure of several other brothers to secure his position as the next head of the family. Unexpectedly, his father had an affair in his early years and gave him a younger brother out of thin air. It is said that he has recently started to do well in the black market.
Li Jiahe, who was afraid that his position would be in jeopardy, immediately made murderous intentions and played several rounds to kill the opponent. In other words, Li Haibo was able to survive to this day safely by getting a buff from the protagonist's camp.
But it is precisely because of living that there is hatred. Li Haibo had already planned to stop, but when he saw Li Jiahe, he immediately felt like an enemy and directly attacked Bo Da, blowing up the entire Li family and almost killing Li Jiahe. But it was an unplanned method after all, and as soon as the support from the Li Jianan family arrived, Li Haibo had no choice but to flee in a hurry, costing half of his life.
Then according to the routine, the protagonist should have picked up his little brother on the black market, revived him with a magical hand, and after finding out the whole story, he became angry and vowed to avenge his little brother. Then the Li family was blacklisted by the protagonist, and they would definitely be played with by the protagonist in the future. In the end, they were squashed and rounded by the protagonist and given to the younger brother as toys.
……so! How come your boy was picked up by Zhang Zhibo’s people! ?
Ling Yao believed that Lin Tianyu was definitely on the way to find Li Haibo right now, and he might meet Zhang Zhibo's people in a few minutes. Perhaps according to the normal development of the plot, Zhang Zhibo will earn a favor from the protagonist regarding Li Haibo and prosper in the black market in the future.
But now, Ling Yao and Zhang Zhibo are together, and he just called Qin Bai over! Qin Bai and the others, unlike Xia Ming, had seen Li Haibo's face. There will definitely be a fight when they meet.
If I meet the protagonist at this time...heaven will kill me!
wrong. Now is not the time to give up. Even if the people from the Qi Lian Tang didn't meet Lin Tianyu this time, Li Haibo would definitely mention them when he "reports" to the protagonist in the future. Instead of worrying about what Li Haibo will say bad things about them, it is better to find a way to resolve the conflict——
If you, the Li family, have internal conflicts, don’t you involve the innocent Nan family?
Ling Yao thought about how to "brainwash" Li Haibo, with "I'm worried" written all over his face. Zhang Zhibo was a person who looked at people's faces and tried his best. When he saw that Ling Yao was not in good spirits, he thought it was due to the headache and fever after the contract was terminated. He immediately kindly suggested that Ling Yao try the bottle of refreshing pills he had given him earlier.
In fact, Ling Yao felt from the bottom of his heart that the thing was not a good thing. He originally just wanted to take a bottle to the laboratory to test the ingredients. But Zhang Zhibo was so enthusiastic that he couldn't shirk it. Anyway, if you eat it, you will get sick on the spot or even burp. Even if it is poison, it is a small dose that can be slowly metabolized by the human body. Of course, if this thing can make people get sick on the spot, Zhang Zhibo doesn’t have the courage to let him do it. try.
Then... try it?
Ling Yao poured the pills out, stuffed them into his mouth, and bit them open...
Spit it out.
"What...what's wrong?? There's nothing wrong with this medicine. We take it ourselves on weekdays! I'm definitely not lying to you!"
Zhang Zhibo was already trembling, but now he was even more shocked by Ling Yao's reaction. He thought something had happened to Ling Yao and suspected that he had poisoned him.
"Hey... Bah! Bah, bah, bah... Good guy, this is not a problem, this problem is too big... No, why are you nervous about me? I know you are not lying. You should be nervous about yourself... …”
Ling Yao sighed several times but still felt it was not clean, so he took Xia Ming's water bottle and started gargling.
Xia Ming looked confused - well, he looked like he was wondering what the idiot with a fever was doing.
Ling Yao spit out the mouthwash, wiped his mouth, and sighed:
"Boss Zhang, seeing that you are still sincere, I will only remind you.
"You should eat less of this stuff... no, it's better not to eat it. Don't eat it if it has any refreshing effects.
"Big smoke shell powder...that's addictive."
Is the black market really black? Return the elixir... Now that this stuff is circulating, it's time for the anti-narcotics police to come in!
