I played the world alone

Chapter 394 Isn’t this a coincidence (two in one)

Somewhat surprisingly, the location the other party chose to talk was not in one of those high-rise modern buildings, but on a specially blocked-off mountain far away from the city center.

Although this place is also within the city limits, all other modern buildings seem to be deliberately far away from here, allowing the place to maintain the most primitive ecology.

There are even many wild birds and animals at a glance. When I walked in here, I almost thought I had entered some ecological reserve.

The two slowly landed in an antique pavilion on the top of the mountain. With a wave of their hands, two cups of hot tea appeared in front of them.

Seemingly sensing Lu Chen's doubts, he explained with a smile: "Compared to all kinds of fancy modern objects, I still prefer this primitive environment."

"So I told the people below to keep this area exclusively for me and not to develop it."

"Whenever I have something to worry about or want to practice with peace of mind, I come here. This place always calms down my mood immediately."

After sipping tea, the other party gave a brief introduction.

"I'm Pingxuan, what do you call fellow Taoist?"

Lu Chen replied without thinking: "I'm Yueze."

Then the other party also asked curious questions similar to the one from Fuxian City before.

"Did Fellow Taoist Yueze just wake up?"

Having already gained experience, Lu Chen was not surprised and started to make up random things very calmly.

"That's right, I just woke up from seclusion not long ago. When I came out, I found that the world has become such a strange place. So while traveling around, I was also looking for the truth of the past."

"I never imagined that there would be people in this world who could escape the disaster that year without being affected." The other party also felt a little emotional and smiled helplessly.

Then he asked again: "Fellow Taoist should already know what happened back then."

"I almost understand a little bit." Lu Chen nodded, "I met the Nascent Soul Daoist from Fuxian City some time ago and learned some secrets about the past from him."

"It's a pity that that fellow Taoist was not like us. He was seriously injured and his time was running out when I saw him. He died within a few days, and we couldn't have a good chat with him."

He sighed with great regret.

Ping Xuan was stunned for a moment, put down the tea cup in his hand and sighed: "Has that old guy also fallen..."

Then he pointed at himself.

"But there are some errors in what fellow Taoist said just now. My body may not be much better than that one."

Lu Chen looked at the other person with some doubts. Because they were at the same level, he did not rush to use his spiritual sense to sense the other person's physical condition, so as not to be considered offensive.

He could only say tactfully: "But I think your Taoist friend's physical condition seems to be pretty good now..."

"It's just a look." Ping Xuan shook his head, "For example, this appearance is just to make those under my command feel at ease. To make them think that my injury is almost healed and I can continue to protect them."

"By the way, it can also scare those people under my command who have different intentions and the evil beasts outside, so that they can at least be at peace while I am alive."

As he spoke, he wiped his face with his palm to remove those disguises.

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw the other party's appearance.

The face is still the same, but the hair is visibly whiter, the face is covered with wrinkles and age spots, and even the eyes are a little muddier.

"This is the sequelae left behind by that battle. It still cannot be completely healed to this day."

"The reason why I'm trying to find other Nascent Souls now is to see if they have any solutions."

"However, after so many years, all I have been waiting for is all kinds of bad news. Most of the old friends from back then have died. Maybe I will be the next one."

Lu Chen frowned: "Is there really no way to treat it?"

Even the invading evil spirits can be driven away, so there is no reason why these Nascent Souls should be stuck here.

Ping Xuan thought for a while and said slowly: "It's not that there is no treatment method at all, it's just that the conditions are really harsh and it's almost impossible to achieve it."

"I have studied the art of elixirs. With the help of other alchemists, I have devised a special elixir recipe. Not to mention a complete cure, it can at least alleviate the pain."

"But after all, this is an injury that even we in the Nascent Soul stage cannot contend with. Therefore, in order to achieve the best curative effect, the medicinal materials needed are very precious, including many of the best elixirs that have been used for thousands of years!"

"In the past, although it was precious, it was not impossible. How can it be found in this world now?"

"After so many years, I have only found two of the medicinal materials. Even if I search for the bounty as a Nascent Soul Stage, I still have no clues."

Lu Chen couldn't help but look a little strange when he heard what the other party said.

Isn't this a coincidence!

As for other things, I may not be able to do anything about it, but if I am willing to put some effort into this thousand-year-old elixir, I might even be able to wholesale it directly.

After the other party finished speaking, he said: "Maybe I can do something about this thousand-year-old elixir."

The other party was stunned for a moment, and then he stood up excitedly regardless of Nascent Soul Stage's arrogance, and the tea cup in his hand was crushed to pieces.

"Fellow Taoist, do you really mean what you say?!"

What he just said was just treating a dead horse as a living horse. After all, there have been no clues for so many years.

He has tried various methods and channels to search for medicinal materials but there are no clues.

The reason why we are so eager to find other Nascent Soul Stages now is that in addition to the reasons mentioned just now, we also have some thoughts of trying.

The Nascent Soul stage is already at the top of the world. Logically speaking, the treasures they carry must be indispensable. Maybe they will hide one or two thousand-year elixir?
That’s why I intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to this aspect.

Of course, he didn't have high hopes, after all, he had been disappointed so many times before.

In the past, all of those old friends were certain city lords or certain big shots, and their strength and status were quite extraordinary!

Even they didn't have any solution. The Taoist friend in front of him seemed to be just a loner, without any family background and not very outstanding in strength. He didn't have much hope in his heart at all.

But I never expected that with this casual question, who would have known that the other party actually had a solution?
It's like opening a blind box and finding a unique treasure!
I'm so excited now that I'm a little out of sorts.

After reacting, he sat down awkwardly.

"Fellow Taoist, please rest assured that I will never do anything to rob you. If you really have some thousand-year-old elixir that I need, I am willing to pay any price for the exchange! Even if you want the current city lord I am also willing to offer you the position with my own hands!" He said it very generously and naturally.

But of course Lu Chen wouldn't take it seriously.

Even if the other party is in the Nascent Soul stage but has not really become an immortal and has seven emotions and six desires, he will inevitably have selfish motives. If you really want to ask for something worthwhile, even if the other party agrees on the surface, there will inevitably be some barriers in your heart.

Of course he doesn't need those things at all.

"Fellow Taoist, you can rest assured that I don't care about those external things. Although the thousand-year-old elixir is precious, I know that a certain mysterious person has some stocks, and I can exchange them for some price."

"Mysterious man? How come I've never heard of him?"

Ping Xuan was a little confused.

It is estimated that he has traveled almost all over the world in order to collect medicinal materials in recent years, and he has inquired about any medicinal dealers or cities that are somewhat famous.

After finally getting anxious, he even rushed in to the gathering place of some evil beasts for the last time and killed seven in and seven out!

However, nothing was found.

There is also no news about the so-called mysterious person.

If the other party hadn't been at the same level of Nascent Soul stage, he shouldn't have fooled himself, otherwise he would have almost thought that this was a liar that came out of nowhere.

Lu Chen said calmly: "That's a mysterious businessman of unknown origin that I met by chance. He always comes and goes without a trace. If there weren't enough opportunities, there would be no chance of meeting him."

"Maybe even if you pass him by, you will just think that the other person is just an ordinary person and don't care."

"Speaking of which, I just happened to know the secret of the other party. He may not have other elixirs in him, but he has plenty of old-fashioned elixirs."

"Of course, I know you may not believe it, fellow Taoist, so you might as well take a look to see if this thing is true or false."

After speaking, Lu Chen casually flipped his palm over the table, and a rectangular jade box appeared in front of him.

Ping Xuan took it and opened it with some excitement and uneasiness.

I saw a ginseng plant that looked very much like a skinny child placed inside!
At the same time, a burst of pure spiritual energy hit his face, causing his complexion to change suddenly, and he was so excited that he even turned slightly flushed.

He lowered his head and looked at it carefully, and inhaled the breath.

It seemed that he was sitting firmly. Although his hands were very stable to avoid accidentally breaking them, the aura on his body was obviously surging, like a rough wave.

So much so that it directly affected the spiritual energy of the entire mountain top, and the situation changed. Countless birds and beasts began to scream and flee from the area, as if some disaster was about to happen!
After savoring it for a long time, he put down the jade box with unsatisfied taste and stared at Lu Chen with burning eyes.

"This smell, this aura..."

"It's incredible! From my superficial perspective, it seems that this year is at least a thousand years old! Even before the end of the world, it is undoubtedly a priceless treasure! I have already forgotten the last time I saw this kind of thing. How many years ago was the best..."

"Fellow Daoist Yueze, does the other party really have more of these top-quality elixirs?"

Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still couldn't believe it.

This thing was extremely precious even in the past, let alone now!

It would be nice to have one, but according to what the other party just said, there seem to be more? !

He felt like he was dreaming.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had this incredible feeling.
"If you can't get more elixirs, how about giving this thousand-year-old ginseng as an apology gift to you?" Lu Chen directly praised Haikou.

Ping Xuan then reluctantly believed it and said excitedly: "If this is really the case, what does the other party need before he is willing to exchange?"

Lu Chen said very generously: "I will naturally trade with that merchant, and fellow Taoist fellows don't have to worry about the price required. I even hope that if this elixir is really effective, I would like to ask fellow Taoist Pingxuan to use your method." Try your best to spread the word and tell other people who are also deeply troubled about the Nascent Soul stage this good news, and help them get rid of the threat of death."

This sentence is indeed sincere.

In the future, he will often come and go in this world of immortal cultivation, and he will use many of the knowledge and even people in it. Naturally, he hopes to help this world solve its troubles as soon as possible.

And if you don't want to take action and don't want to rely on the power of real-world countries, then it seems more efficient to directly help the indigenous people of this world solve the problem themselves.

As for the medicinal materials, it may be difficult for others, but for him, it only consumes a little spiritual energy.

Ping Xuan, who didn't know what he was thinking, was completely shocked by his words!
Staring at him deeply, he opened his mouth slightly, but no words came out.

How selfless and noble a character this is!

So much so that he was a little ashamed of his suspicion of the other party just now!
If there was still a trace of doubt just now, now he was completely convinced.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the other person is a saint for giving so much without asking for anything in return!

Therefore, after careful consideration, he said with a serious face: "Since my fellow Taoist is so generous, if I continue to be secretive, it will be a villain's act!"

"Fellow Taoist, you just mentioned that you want to know the inside story of what happened back then. I know more about this than my old friend in Fuxian City, or even all other Nascent Soul stages."

Lu Chen didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.

Just listen to the other party say slowly: "Fellow Taoist should have heard before. This year, a lot of energy went to find the source of the evil energy, but most of them were killed or injured there. Only a few people survived."

"And I am one of them! I have seen with my own eyes the source of that evil spirit."

"In the past few years, most of the people who survived back then have died. Now I am afraid that only one person in the world is left who understands the specific situation back then."

His voice paused, and he pinched a few spells with his fingers, and set up an advanced soundproofing and prying formation around him, as if he was worried that some beings would hear his voice.

He arranged several steps in succession, and only after he was sure that it would not be leaked, he continued speaking with a solemn expression.

"The beginning part is similar to what fellow Taoist heard before. There were more than twenty Nascent Soul stagers who set out together that year. From the early Yuanying stage to the late Yuanying stage, they gathered almost most of the strongest forces in the world! "

"We followed the direction in which the evil spirit wandered, and soon found the source of the evil spirit deep in the seabed."

"But that thing is completely different from what we expected before..."

Ping Xuan's pupils slowly narrowed.

"That turned out to be a corpse!"
