Mengdie was stunned for a while, and said: "Then what if it is true as you said? If we take the elixir, will it be harmful?"
"If there is a golden mountain in front of us, let's move the golden mountain away, why should we refuse?"
Xiang Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If it's really just a golden mountain, then it's okay to move it away, I'm afraid there are poisonous snakes on this golden mountain."
"Mengdie, think about it, what we have seen along the way, I suspect that behind these pill furnace incidents, there is an unknown conspiracy hidden."
"If you and I are greedy for these pills, in the end, maybe we will be doomed."
"Well said!" Suddenly, an old voice appeared in the distance ahead.
Xiang Nan and Mengdie hurriedly looked around, but they couldn't see where the speaker was.
"There seems to be someone, let's go and have a look." Xiang Nan pulled Mengdie and ran forward quickly.
As they ran along the way, pill furnaces kept rising up along the road. At this time, Xiang Nan simply didn't even look at those pill furnaces.
The two of them ran for nearly three hours before they saw a thatched cottage.
In the small and simple courtyard of the thatched hut, an old man with a gray beard was sitting, and in front of the old man, there was a huge purple-gold alchemy furnace.
There is a strange fragrance overflowing from the alchemy furnace, which makes people want to stop after smelling it.
"Old man, were you talking just now?" Xiang Nan looked at the old man and bowed respectfully.
With a regretful but relieved expression on his face, the old man said: "Young man, it is really rare for you to have such tolerance."
"It should be noted that there are very few people in this world who can resist the temptation of pills."
Xiang Nan hurriedly asked: "Here, did you arrange it?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I have been trapped here for a thousand years. When I came in, I was about the same age as you."
Xiang Nan and Mengdie looked at each other, and said in surprise, "Thousands of years?"
After careful questioning, I found out that this old man broke into the magic sea thousands of years ago, and it was after seeing those pill furnaces that he became greedy and moved forward while swallowing pills.
But he found that the further he went, the better the pill appeared, and the longer it took to refine the pill.
When he realized this, the elixir he had swallowed had already taken him a hundred years to completely refine.
It's just that he still didn't wake up at that time, he was not reconciled, he had already spent a hundred years here, how could he let this hundred years go to waste, in order to make up for it, he could only continue to take better pills, and he must make money return.
But the more he was like this, the more he couldn't let it go. When he ate all the way to the thatched cottage, he suddenly discovered that after swallowing the elixir in the Purple Gold Pill Road, it took two thousand years to refine it!
The old man shook his head and sighed: "To this day, I still haven't completely refined the medicinal properties in my body, and I will be trapped here for another thousand years."
"The greed of people's hearts is higher than the sky, alas... I regret it, it's too late."
The old man couldn't even move at all. Once he moved, the medicine in his body would become disordered, and he would explode to death.
The old man said: "Eating the pills here alone does not require so much refining time, but these pills are successive, and the first pill is the medicine of the next one, so eat them in order , the refining time will be superimposed."
Mengdie hurriedly said: "Since we know the result, let's go back and start over now. As long as we find that the refining time has become longer, we can stop. Isn't it okay?"
The old man laughed three times, and said: "It's really that easy. After swallowing a pill and refining it, the effect of the medicine in the body will dissipate if you leave the pill furnace five meters away."
"Will you be willing at that time? You will continue to go forward and eat the second and third. You will not be reconciled, and you always want to eat the last one. The effect of the last pill will always be It's not going away."
"Indeed, if this last elixir is refined, all the effects of the previous elixir will return to your body."
"But you, are you willing to spend more than two thousand years as the price?"
Hearing this, Mengdie turned pale with fright and shook her head hastily.
The Life Pill and the other pills behind it can indeed provide vitality and eternal youth, but these youths will be wasted here!
The old man sighed: "This is a game set up by seniors! Sometimes, killing people with greed is more desperate than killing people with knives."
"I've been stuck here for thousands of years, and I can't let go of it all these years, and it's always hard to let go."
"However, after hearing what this little friend said today, I was finally relieved and let go."
"Trapped in such a place for thousands of years, even if you live forever, what's the fun of such a life?"
Saying that, the old man actually stood up.
"Senior, you..." Xiang Nan was shocked, but it was too late to stop him.
The old man glanced at Xiang Nan with a smile, and said: "Little friend, I was not able to break through this corrupt situation. This is the regret of my life. I will not be wronged or complained. This is my destiny."
"It's also time to pay for my own greed."
As he said that, the old man let out a long sigh, and then the medicine in his body lost its refining effect, and quickly lost its balance.
With a smile on his face, the old man's body turned into broken pieces one by one, and went away with the wind.
This scene made Xiang Nan feel a lot of emotion, and the infinite emotion could only be turned into a long sigh, which seemed to go away with the wind like an old man.
"Xiang Nan." Mengdie took Xiang Nan's hand and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have believed you."
Xiang Nan smiled: "Let's not talk about that, you see there is a thatched cottage here, let's go in and have a look."
The two joined hands to enter the hut, and found that it was a huge and open grassland, which was actually a world of its own.
But on the grassland, there are only two things, one is a huge ball, and that should be the passage to the next level.
And the other thing is very inconspicuous, just a first-grade green leaf grass.
"Let's go to the next floor." Mengdie said.
But Xiang Nan stared at the green-leaf grass, and said with a feeling: "After we saw countless spiritual grasses and countless priceless spiritual pills on the previous road, would we still be interested in such a common plant? Ordinary spirit grass, give it attention."
"Perhaps judging from our state of mind at this time, this grade of spiritual grass can't touch our hearts at all, and we don't even bother to look at it."
"But... after seeing the blooming flowers again, are you willing to return to simplicity."
"I don't take an ocean of water, but am I willing to take a ladle?"
Xiang Nan pulled out the grass, and the grass suddenly became a wooden box in a trance.
There are some small characters written on the surface of the wooden box.
"Greed is like a snake and a scorpion, like a flood and a beast, let it go properly, and the sky will not treat you badly."
"Seventh grade life-returning pill, take it, and you will have the hope of rebirth. If you die, you will reshape your body and get a new life."
Xiang Nan took a breath and returned to Dan!
