Long Xiangtian put down the booklet he was still studying, the one he took from Zhuge Hai. The richness of the content recorded on it was indeed beyond Long Xiangtian's imagination. Many things were implemented differently from the current mainstream alchemy.
Although the essence is the same, the way of expression recorded by Zhuge Hai is different, which broadened Long Xiangtian's horizons. It turns out that there are such moves to achieve the goal in the world. These discoveries made Long Xiangtian begin to admire Zhuge Hai. He is worthy of being the leader of the golden generation. Even though his meridians were broken and he could not continue to use Qi Refining, he was still able to research so many tricks.
If Zhuge Hai were still alive at this time, he would definitely be the next candidate for the alchemist.
“Here it comes!”
Long Xiangtian stretched himself, responded to Yunniang, and quickly walked towards the dining table. Although warriors or alchemists can go without food for a long time, Long Xiangtian is still happy to satisfy his hunger occasionally.
Today, Yunniang prepared fried eggs with chives and a plate of roasted pheasant. Although it was simple, Yunniang made it look delicious and fragrant, which made Long Xiangtian's appetite grow. He ate several mouthfuls of white rice at once. Yunniang kept saying, "Slow down, slow down, don't choke."
As a result, just as Yunniang finished speaking, Long Xiangtian coughed. Yunniang had to help Long Xiangtian stroke his back with one hand and hand him a glass of water with the other hand.
Long Xiangtian drank the water in one breath, let out a long breath, and asked Yunniang.
"Nana, are you ready now?"
"Um... now?"
Yunniang's tone when answering Long Xiangtian was not particularly firm, and there was a hint of hesitation.
"Maybe it's just the recent period. What's wrong? Is there anything you haven't finished yet?"
"That's not the case. I just don't want to live like this now."
"Living here with you, I feel particularly carefree and happy. The first thing I do every morning after getting up is not fixed, but something I do at will. I can freely arrange whatever I want to do every day, and this feeling makes me feel very comfortable."
"I know how you feel, but humans are social animals. You may not see any harm in being away from the group for a while, but over a long period of time, your mind will definitely be distorted, just like the back of Zhuge Hai's pamphlet that I am reading now. His experiments are becoming more and more extreme."
"The logic of behavior is also becoming more and more bizarre."
"I know that, I just..."
Before Yunniang finished speaking, Long Xiangtian put his hand on Yunniang's head, gently stroked her soft hair, and said lightly.
"Then I'll make a deal with you. When we are both old, we will find the entrance to this world again in that world. We will live together in this beautiful place with singing birds and fragrant flowers. What do you say?"
"Well, it's settled then."
Yunniang swept away her previous unhappy mood, smiled happily and nodded towards Long Xiangtian.
The little girl was indeed so easy to deceive. Long Xiangtian couldn't help but sweat inside.
After finishing the meal, Long Xiangtian asked Yunniang to prepare well. The two were about to leave this place. While Yunniang was washing the dishes, he slipped back into Zhuge Hai's laboratory again. He planned to spend this time here.
The night falls quickly, and as the sun sets and the moon rises, the sound of insects chirping can be heard in the woods. If an irritable person hears these sounds, he will think they are disturbing noises, but if you calm down and listen carefully, then this is the best gift from nature to you, and this wonderful music is the sound of nature.
At this moment, in another dark cave, a tripod-shaped object placed in the formation shook slightly, and then a low voice sounded in the cave.
"You've been here for so long, are you finally going to come look for me? I thought you guys were never going to go back, so I'll come and see if these two newcomers are more difficult to deal with than that old guy Zhuge Hai."
After the voice finished speaking, the cave returned to silence. It was as if the speaker was thinking about something, and then a subtle voice sounded again in the cave.
"More than two hundred years ago, their expressions really made me happy. I still want to try it again now. Let's start with that man tomorrow."
Then came a series of terrifying laughs. The hares and elks that were foraging nearby quickly fled in that direction after hearing the laughter. Although they didn't know what was in the cave, the evil aura released from it made them feel the fear from the bottom of their hearts.
In the cave on the other side, the mining lamp in Long Xiangtian's room had been turned off, and Long Xiangtian was lying on the bed, snoring. But the light in Yunniang's room was still on. Looking at Yunniang outside the window, she seemed to be worried. All the packed luggage was placed around her.
There were no particularly large objects, just some bottles and jars of elixirs and some relatively precious herbs. Perhaps he was about to leave and felt reluctant to leave the place where he had lived for two months. But thinking of what Zhuge Hai wrote in his manual, there would definitely be a fierce battle tomorrow, it was more important to rest his spirit.
When Yunniang thought of this, she stood up and turned off the lamp in her room, returned to her bed, and began to practice her cultivation techniques, closing her eyes and resting. For warriors and alchemists of Long Xiangtian and Yunniang's level, sometimes they don't necessarily need to sleep to restore their spirits. Quietly meditating and practicing their own techniques can also achieve the same effect.
There was no conversation that night, and time passed quickly in the quiet night.
The next day, both of them got up early, had a delicious breakfast, took all their equipment, and headed towards the cave where Du Ruo was. Before that, they had already conducted some surveys around the cave where Du Ruo was.
But neither of them went too far into that place. After all, according to Zhuge Hai's booklet, Du Ruo was extremely evil and dangerous. If they were not careful, they would probably fall into an irretrievable situation. If it weren't for the current situation, Long Xiangtian and Yun Niang had no choice but to do so.
If it were them, they would definitely not be willing to come to this place.
The cave where Du Ruo was located was not very far from Zhuge Hai's cave. The two of them walked towards there slowly, and it took them about an hour to arrive at this place.
It was the same situation that Long Xiangtian and Yunniang had observed a month ago. In the cave where Du Ruo was, the thick moss and vines covered the entrance of the cave very well. If we hadn't known the location of Du Ruo in advance through Zhuge Hai's booklet, we would have been able to find it.
When Long Xiangtian and Yunniang passed by here, they might miss this inconspicuous place.
