"Don't worry, this is just a simple cultivation of yourself. It's not a big deal to me."
As if sensing what Huanyan wanted to say, Yuzi took the lead and shook her head.
"According to my testing, this plant that can coexist with the human body is harmless... at least I haven't found it yet."
"... Where did you get the information about those organ flowers?"
After staring at the bud in the other person's palm for a while, Bai Zhi suddenly asked.
Human organs growing in the ground, plants growing on the human body, this gathering place looks quite weird no matter how you look at it.
"What's wrong with an ancient book passed down from the Night Watch?"
Looking up at Bai Zhi's side, Yuzi looked a little confused.
"Although it looks a bit scary in appearance, the medicinal effect of that medicinal material is quite strong. When combined with other medicinal materials, it can almost reach the level of living and dead people."
"Nothing, let's discuss the next arrangements."
Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi looked away.
"Don't forget, we are currently suspects of deliberately destroying medicine fields."
"It's an established fact that he's a criminal."
Pulling back her hand, Yuzu whispered in her mouth.
... Bai Zhi just pretended that he didn't hear.
"First of all, we definitely can't afford the compensation, and it's temporarily impossible to get out of here. The surroundings are firmly blocked by cliffs, so we can only choose other methods."
Bai Zhi raised a finger in front of him and spoke seriously.
"Besides, there is one thing I can tell you. The person who built the "Tianqiu Valley" gathering place with one hand is most likely an immortal, and that immortal is most likely to be above his head. A suspended island located high in the sky. "
"Immortal? That's not..."
As Bai Zhi said these words, except for Huan Yan, who didn't know much about this kind of thing, the expressions of the other three people changed slightly.
Now that the path to immortality has been completely cut off, pure immortals no longer exist, and there are only weird immortals.
Other players may not know this kind of information, but Mountainside Man Li and others, as the backbone of the relevant departments, naturally know this kind of thing.
Especially the mountainside man Li, not only did he know about this kind of thing, he had even dealt with strange immortals in other worlds during a certain mandatory mission.
-If he hadn't been lucky that time, he might have become one of the weird immortal's regular human skins.
"That's right, it's exactly what you think."
Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, Bai Zhi shrugged slightly.
"According to what the previous person said, the filth in the wilderness outside has reached a very terrifying level. Let alone ordinary people, even cultivators will have a narrow escape in the wilderness. Who can establish a gathering place in such a place? , I guess there are only legendary immortals.”
"If that's the case, then could it be that the person who single-handedly established the "Pure Land of Red Dust" gathering place was a Buddha? "
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Li from the mountainside asked with bright eyes.
"In this case, relying on my status as a [Buddha] certified by my system, maybe I can..."
"Not necessarily. What if it's an Arhat or a Bodhisattva?"
After glancing at Li, the mountainside man, Phalaenopsis poured cold water on him.
"Also, since the immortals have problems, can you ensure that there are no problems with Arhat Buddha? What if a "fallen Buddha" appears? Also, when did you become a Buddhist again? "
"Uh... when I obtained the three Buddhist treasures before, the title [Son of Buddha] suddenly appeared in my attribute column..."
After coughing a few times, the mountainside man Li added an additional sentence.
"The only title at the legendary level."
Everyone: "..."
... Bai Zhi suddenly felt that this guy might have the template for the protagonist.
"All in all, we must not become prisoners."
Bai Zhi looked away from Li, the man on the mountainside, with an expressionless face.
"Because there is the possibility of a strange fairy here, we can't force it, we can only outwit it."
"So do you want compensation?"
Secretly opening his personal interface and taking a look, Phalaenopsis made a sad face.
"My whole body now totals only about 10,000 source coins. This amount of money is definitely not enough to compensate, right?"
talent…
Suddenly, Bai Zhi's expression froze.
"I have a little more, about thirty thousand."
After taking a look at her balance, Yuzu nodded.
"Uh... sixty-five thousand."
Seeing Phalaenopsis looking at him, Li from the mountainside honestly reported his current balance.
As a Buddhist inheritor, in fact, there are not many places where he can use money... especially after he obtained three Buddhist treasures.
"..."
Seeing that the other three people were looking at him, after a moment of silence, under the gaze of the three people, Huanyan silently took out a five-cent coin from his pocket.
Phalaenopsis/Yuzu/Hillside Man Li: "???"
"No, are you really planning to lose money?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Zhi reached out and pressed his forehead, and Bai Zhi spoke speechlessly.
Not to mention whether the total amount of money is enough, just for himself, due to the previous expenditure on refining equipment, the total amount of money he has now is less than one thousand.
-Game currency.
In this case, let alone the fact that they couldn't collect the compensation at all, even if they could, Bai Zhi would never choose to compensate.
"So, what should we do?"
Turning her head, Phalaenopsis looked at him.
"We can't get out without losing money, right? After all, there might be that one above our heads... "
As she spoke, she pointed upward.
"Stop talking. The others, including me, were almost all led astray by you."
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi slightly looked a little annoyed.
"Don't forget what our current status is."
"Uh... stowaway?"
After thinking for a moment, Li, the mountainside man, asked in confusion.
Bai Zhi: "..."
"It's a businessman."
After looking at Bai Zhi, Huanyan spoke calmly.
"As businessmen who come from other gathering places, we have enough confidence to support compensation."
"Businessman...can this work?"
After thinking for a moment, Phalaenopsis seemed a little hesitant.
"After all, we smuggled in first, and then deliberately destroyed the medicine field..."
"Can you please stop saying that we are illegal immigrants?"
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Bai Zhi interrupted the other party's words.
"You haven't figured out the key point of the matter. The key to the matter is not that we destroyed the medicine field, but the attitude of the owner of the medicine field. As long as the Li family does not pursue the case, this matter will become a big deal. As for smuggling and not smuggling, Whatnot, this is not a problem at all. No matter it is one thousand or ten thousand, we are all caravans from the gathering place of "different world", do you understand? "
"Uh... got it."
After being stunned for a moment, Phalaenopsis nodded, and then asked very tangledly.
"So, what should we do next? Although it is an idea to try to obtain the Li family's understanding as much as possible, we can't even contact the Li family, let alone talk about the future, right?"
"Oh, don't worry about this. I have asked the food delivery boy before. He will help us find the Li family. It shouldn't take too long for the Li family to send someone over."
After responding casually, Bai Zhi took out a folding stool from his backpack and sat down.
"So now, what we should be discussing is..."
"No, are you so sure that a food delivery person can do such a thing?"
Before Bai Zhi could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Li, a mountainside man with a tangled look on his face.
"No matter what the Li family said, it should be a behemoth here in Tianqiu Valley. How could a food delivery person come into contact with it? "
"Oh, the wisdom of mortals."
Bai Zhi took out an apple from nowhere and took a bite. Bai Zhi glanced at the "Buddha" in front of him with disdain.
"Don't you realize that the Criminal Division seems to be trying to protect us?"
"Uh... no."
After carefully recalling the attitudes of those arrested during the previous interrogation, Li from the mountainside shook his head firmly.
"..."
After staring wordlessly at the mountainside man Li in front of him for a while, Bai Zhi turned to look at Huan Yan aside.
"Please help me explain."
"That medicine field is an important place of the Li family, but people from the Criminal Investigation Department are patrolling around it. We were also brought back by people from the Criminal Investigation Department."
After glancing at Bai Zhi, he turned to look at Shan Li on the side of the mountain, and Huan Yan spoke calmly.
"If the Li family is really a behemoth in Tianqiu Valley as you said, it is impossible for the Criminal Division to still be arguing with the Li family. "
Mountainside man Li: "..."
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt that he was being subtly despised.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Let's unify our identities first."
Bai Zhi clapped his hands and spoke.
"Prepare your confession in advance to avoid leaking it later."
"...from experience?"
"No, origin."
Stretching out a finger and shaking it in front of him, Bai Zhi looked at Li Fang, the man on the mountainside.
"The first thing that must be solved is his problem, otherwise we will be unable to move forward in this "Tianqiu Valley". "
"Isn't it enough for me to say that I don't come from the "pure land of mortals"? "
Inexplicably, Li, the mountainside man, looked a little depressed.
He first obtained three Buddhist treasures, and then obtained the unique title of [Buddha's Son]. Logically speaking, he should be the one leading the way along the way. Why is he becoming a burden now
"Do you believe this yourself?"
"I... Okay, tell me, what do I do?"
Looking down at the Jinlan cassock he was wearing, Li Shi, a mountainside man, sighed helplessly.
"First, you have to change your outfit...here, put this on."
After rummaging around in [Najie], Bai Zhi threw a set of casual clothes over.
—The two of them are about the same height and shape, so it’s not too out of the ordinary for the other person to be wearing his clothes.
"Then what?"
After taking the suit of clothes, the mountainside man Li looked at him.
"Then there's your experience... Let me think about it."
Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin. After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi snapped his fingers.
