The old man who has lived for eternity has always been indifferent. There are not many things that can change his expression or things that catch his eye.
This time, his excited expression after seeing the purple gourd was completely unexpected.
"Ultimate treasure, is this a treasure?" Zi Chen looked at the old man in confusion.
The same words, said by different people, will have different effects. In the past, when Zi Chen was weak, a spiritual weapon was a treasure in his eyes. But now, a pill weapon in his hand is just a treasure. Consumables
Standing at different heights and looking at one thing, the evaluations given are different. But when the old man said the word "treasure", it is enough to prove that this is a real treasure.
"Not bad!" The old man nodded, staring at the purple gourd, still very excited, "This is a real treasure!"
After that, the old man seemed to be worried about something and did not continue to explain. Then he rolled up his sleeves and everyone disappeared.
It was like teleporting. When they appeared again, they were already at the Blackwater Pond.
The old man who arrived at the Black Water Pond had calmed down from his excitement. He looked at Zi Chen again, his expression became much more solemn, and he said seriously: "Zi Chen, can you do me a favor?"
The old man's solemn look startled Zi Chen, and he hurriedly said: "Senior, what do you mean? You have saved my life. If you need me to do anything, just ask me."
The monk was also confused, but he vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the purple gourd. As for the soul-eating rat, it was rare to be silent, but its expression kept changing.
"You should know something about this ancient war super. This place is like a cage. The living ancient beasts cannot leave for the rest of their lives."
Zi Chen nodded, but he was always confused and asked: "I heard the Soul-Eating Rat say it, senior, why is this?"
"Because of the rules of the ancient land, this is a place that should have disappeared, but it was forcibly taken back from the void, and then refined, becoming a place of trial."
The old man's answer shocked both Zi Chen and the monk. Their eyes were full of shock. This area was actually a trial place for artificial refining?
"This ancient war super is a dutiful world," the old man said: "And her appearance is for human trials. Every thousand years, an entrance will appear to let you human trials come in. When the time is up, The entrance becomes the exit.”
"After you complete the trial and leave successfully, this area will fall into a deep sleep, and all the ancient beasts will fall into a deep sleep. They will only wake up naturally in the next thousand years."
These are the secrets of the ancient battlefield. Zi Chen and the monk were stunned when they heard them staring at each other. It was obvious that the level of mystery here was far beyond their imagination.
After sleeping for thousands of years, waking up naturally is something that cannot be explained.
And they finally knew why the Soul-eating Rat was still so weak after living for thousands of years. Why had it only left a few spiritual crystals for these thousands of years? It turned out that for more time, they were all sleeping.
"Under these rules, only humans can enter and exit freely. In the past, ancient beasts tried to leave through the exit of you humans, but they were killed by the stone order guarding there. Above the stone order, with the rules of the ancient battlefield, you can Kill all the ancient beasts in an instant"
After hearing about Shi Ling's role, the two of them were surprised again.
The old man looked at Zi Chen and begged: "So, I hope you can take me with you when you leave."
Zi Chen reacted quickly and asked: "Senior, are you talking about the Zijin Gourd? Do you want to hide in the Zijin Gourd to avoid Shi Ling's attack?"
"That's right!" The old man nodded, then looked at Zi Chen and said, "I know nothing about the outside world and I can get out smoothly and have nowhere to go. If you don't mind, I can follow you."
Zi Chen and the monk looked at each other, and both saw ecstasy in the other's eyes. If they really took the old man out, they would have found a real backer.
Followed by a person who can kill the existence of the late Danyuan with a raise of his hand. Anyone who dares to provoke him will be slapped to death. Just thinking about it makes me feel very cool. In the future chaotic land, as long as the five overlords are not provoked , they can walk sideways completely
Zi Chen and Monk have already fallen into admiration. This is a good thing that comes to their doorstep for nothing. It is a super Big Mac pie falling from the sky. If they don't agree, they will really be struck by lightning.
Under the old man's expectant gaze, Zi Chen nodded repeatedly, "I don't mind, I don't mind, of course I don't mind. As long as the senior is willing to leave, I will be happy to help."
Suddenly, Zi Chen seemed to remember something and asked: "Senior, how many times has this trial place been opened in total over the years?"
“I can’t remember exactly, but it’s probably a hundred times at least.”
One hundred times, one thousand years, that is one hundred thousand years. This is a very scary number. When Zi Chen and the monk were shocked, they also lamented the longevity of the old man's life. But when he thought about it, during these one hundred thousand years, the time spent sleeping was seriously more than When they were awake, the two of them also felt sad for the old man.
The entrance to the Land of Chaos was only opened tens of thousands of years ago. It seems that the ancient battlefield had always existed before that and lasted for a long time.
Zi Chen frowned slightly and asked: "A hundred times, is there no human monk holding something similar to the purple gold gourd, and no ancient beast has successfully left here?"
"Of course there is," the old man said with a smile, "There are many ancient beasts here and they are powerful. Going out means that the strong combat power is activated. After the first time, there are humans trying to plot the ancient beasts the second time. But as far as I know, in this area , not one ancient beast has successfully left, they were all noticed by Shi Ling and killed one after another!"
"Killed one after another?"
"Yes! This is the rule of the ancient battlefield. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished. There is only one punishment in the ancient battlefield, and that is death!"
"Even humans have to die?" Zi Chen looked at the old man
"Death is certain!" the old man said.
Zi Chen was stunned for a moment. He never expected that such a situation would happen.
"You have to think carefully about this matter. This is a matter of life and death. This ancient battlefield is very strange and the rules are very strict. In the past tens of thousands of years, as far as I know, no less than dozens of ancient beasts have violated the rules and died accordingly. , and dozens of humans with ulterior motives died," the old man said solemnly
Zi Chen's brows only wrinkled slightly, then relaxed, took a deep breath and said: "Senior is kind to me, as long as it is senior's request, Zi Chen will naturally agree, even if it means death! But, why is it me? ?”
The old man is strong, even stronger than the so-called king. If such a strong man wants to leave, Zi Chen believes that the other party will have at least dozens of opportunities, but the other party has given up the opportunity again and again, but today he chose him.
"Because your purple gold gourd is very special. It is a space within a real treasure. It is very similar to the real world. It may be able to escape Shi Ling's investigation." The old man said frankly, but he was not sure.
This is a confrontation with the rules of this world. No one has full confidence before success.
Zi Chen couldn't feel any hostility from the old man, and the other party also made it clear about the strong relationship and did not force Zi Chen to do anything.
"Then I dare to ask senior, how sure are you?"
"Fifty percent!"
Zi Chen did not hesitate, nodded directly, and solemnly agreed.
It was so pleasant, which surprised the old man, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his eyes.
This is a life-raising bet, and must be rigorous. Zi Chen agreed happily, but it does not mean that he is not afraid of death. He simply took out the purple gourd and handed it to the old man, asking him to study it carefully and see it thoroughly.
Waiting until you understand Zijin Gourd may increase your success rate.
Purple gold gourd, the brilliance flows, and the purple light shines. Looking at the appearance, you can only see the extraordinary material, but cannot see anything else. In the inner space, there are mysterious runes flowing. The original star sand was sealed in one of the spaces. among
"I'm disowning the master. Seniors can take it and study it carefully." Zi Chen said, and he was about to disown the master.
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard this, his expression changed instantly and he stopped him and said: "No, absolutely not. If you are contaminated with my breath, you will lose all confidence."
The stone order represents the rules of the ancient battlefield. It can keenly sense the breath of all ancient beasts. The old man does not dare to take risks.
Afterwards, the old man asked Zi Chen to talk about the situation inside the purple gold gourd, as well as the purple gold runes and the space inside.
Zi Chen made it very clear, and also said that it contained star sand before, and had sealed thunder and lightning.
The old man nodded repeatedly after hearing this, his expression became more satisfied, and his success rate seemed to have increased.
"This purple gold gourd should have other effects. You might as well try to refine it again." After pondering for a moment, the old man spoke.
"Can it still be refined?" Zi Chen was a little surprised. He was about to try it immediately but was stopped by the old man again. He clearly told Zi Chen that even if he could refine it, he would have to wait until he left.
To be cautious, the old man gave up and immediately went in to take a closer look.
"The probability of success is less than 60%. This is a fatal matter. Don't rush to answer it. During this time, you can think carefully about the fact that the entire area is about to be connected. You should baptize first and improve your combat power." The old man said
Zi Chen nodded, immediately put everything behind him, and concentrated on preparing the things for the baptism.
The ancient medicines, ancient beast essences and blood have been prepared for a long time. After Zi Chen released the spiritual objects, the preparations were completed.
The spiritual object reappeared, and the Soul-Eating Rat's eyes began to shine. He stared at the spiritual object and drool couldn't help but flow from the corner of his mouth.
"For such a spiritual creature, Zi Chen only needs some essence blood, and the rest is of little use. He can devour it for you," the old man said with a smile.
The Soul-Eating Rat was extremely excited when he heard that it had swallowed a lot of spiritual power before, and was almost on the verge of transformation. If it swallowed another spiritual object, it might be able to transform.
After the preparations were completed, Zi Chen discovered that there was no cauldron containing ancient blood.
"Ordinary cauldrons are useless at all. They can't withstand the energy of ancient blood. You can go directly to the bottom of the pool later," the old man said.
After adjusting his energy and spirit to the best, Zi Chen jumped into the pool and sat cross-legged
