Chapter 152 "There's always a price to pay for a complete transformation!"
After sending the little Os home that afternoon, Zuo An closed the House of Marriage between All Worlds and was then pulled back into the room by the spherical humanoid.
"What are you doing?" Zuo An looked at the ball and narrowed his eyes. I hope this guy is not going to do anything bad.
"Hehe, I have something good for you." Yuanqiu spread out his right hand, and a white jade box appeared in his palm.
"What good stuff?" Zuo An immediately became interested when he heard that it was a good stuff, and it was for him. He opened the jade box and saw a light blue pill inside, with a hint of coolness coming out of it.
"The ancestor of the Hehuan Sect said that if a mortal eats this, he will be reborn." Yuanqiu came over like offering a treasure, "Don't you want to cultivate immortality? Eat this and you will have spiritual roots."
"Really?" Zuo An picked up the pill, his eyes full of desire for cultivation, but he still asked Yuanqiu with some concern, "Will there be any side effects?"
"It shouldn't be. If there is, I will capture the old man." Yuanqiu said confidently.
"Okay, I'll eat it. You just stay by my side. If there are any side effects, remember to find that old ancestor." Zuo An reminded again, then took a glass of water and put the pill into his mouth. Just as he was about to drink some water and swallow it whole, the pill turned into a stream of clear water as soon as it entered his mouth and flowed into his throat.
Zuo An smacked his lips twice, but couldn't taste anything, so he just swallowed it?
"How does it feel?" Yuanqiu asked nervously from the side.
"It didn't taste like anything, so I just swallowed it down by turning it into water." Zuo An spread his hands and felt his body again. "No reaction either. Could it be that it's been out of date because it's been stored for too long?"
He remembered that elixirs in the world of cultivating immortals had no expiration date. It was unlikely that the old ancestor had kept them for too long and let them expire.
"It shouldn't be." When he got the ball, he also explored it. The medicinal effect of this pill is still very strong.
"Okay, maybe it will take a while before I have a reaction... Ouch, my stomach hurts." Before Zuo An finished speaking, he covered his stomach with one hand with a painful look on his face, pulled the ball away with the other hand, and rushed to the toilet.
"It's working." Yuanqiu touched his chin, walked unsteadily to the sofa in the living room and sat down, turning up the ventilation in the bathroom to the maximum. "I guess I won't be able to get out for a while."
He simply lay down on the sofa, and with a flick of his finger, he hooked the phone that Zuo An had left on the bed into his hand, and then started playing with Zuo An's phone without any hesitation.
Zuo An’s phone was just as he said, with no privacy at all. There were only some commonly used apps in it, such as those for watching short videos, playing games, bank cards and communication software.
He opened the game that Zuo An often played and found that the level of the game he played was quite high. Since he was free anyway, he simply opened the game and prepared to play a round. Just then, a game invitation popped up and he clicked it.
Blue Star
"Anzi is online. It seems he's not busy today." Wang Xing called out to his boss, Liang Gang. "Boss, do you have any questions?"
"It's no big deal. Just ask him for me if he has any other books similar to those on drawing talismans." Liang Gang took a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaled.
Luo Yang and his colleagues studied for two days and found out that the reason why they could not draw useful talismans was the talisman paper. The talisman paper nowadays is an industrial product, which is tangible but ineffective.
The main reason is that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the "Four Olds" were destroyed, many old skills were lost. In addition, later everyone advocated that we should believe in science, and more folk customs were lost. Now we can't even make a correct talisman paper.
"Okay." Wang Xing sent a message to Zuo An directly in the game. Anyway, all the people in this game were from their unit, so there was no need to worry about leaks.
While coordinating the ball with his fingers, he saw the message pop up on the game and replied directly, "Yes, but it's very expensive. You can't afford it."
"Boss, Anzi said we have it, but it's very expensive and we can't afford it." Wang Xing shouted back to Liang Gang while controlling his heroes.
What's wrong with Anzi today? The game has just started and he has died four or five times. Is his skill regressing?
"How much is it? Is there anything we can't afford?" Liang Gang became excited. After Luo Yang and the others did some further research, as long as they could come up with a usable talisman, he could take that talisman to apply for funding from the higher authorities.
Wang Xing quickly typed and asked Zuo An how much it would cost and whether they could afford it.
Yuanqiu poked a finger into the data port of Zuo An's mobile phone. Without opening the bank card app, he knew the current balance of Zuo An's bank card. Tsk, this is not a question of whether the other party can afford it or not, but a question of Zuo An, the landlord, having no surplus food.
So Yuanqiu simply quoted a price of 100 million. Wang Xing on the opposite side was shocked when he saw it.
"Anzi, you are kidding! What kind of book costs 100 million?"
One hundred million, Liang Gang's eyes widened. This was the amount that could not be approved even if he submitted the entire book of talismans and the strange encyclopedia.
"Forget about that, just play the game, you're already dead." Yuanqiu controlled the hero, and without knowing which button he pressed, he directly killed his low-health teammates and enemies.
"Ahhh, Anzi, why are you killing so many people?" Wang Xing was furious. He had lost his first blood at the hands of his teammates.
"Ga g g g..." Yuanqiu refused to admit that it was his clumsy hands, and it was obvious that his teammates were just rubbish.
At this moment
Zuo An stumbled out of the toilet. He was exhausted from diarrhea, but now his stomach didn't hurt anymore. Instead, his bones and muscles ached all over. His lips trembled, and he felt weak and powerless. "Yuanqiu, I'm dying of pain."
With a flick of the phone in his hand, Yuanqiu jumped up from the sofa and reached out to catch Zuo An who had fallen down. Zuo An's face was pale, his lips were trembling, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he was shaking all over, obviously in great pain.
Yuanqiu's pupils shrank, and he picked up Zuo An. His figure disappeared in a flash, leaving behind the game still going on on the sofa and Wang Xing who was still talking to him, unaware that he had left.
Hehuan Sect
Lan Shuxing was half lying on the chaise longue, using his spiritual power to control an animal bone and teasing the puppy he had picked up.
When he came back today, his senior brother was called away by his sect leader's disciple. He didn't know when he would be back, so he brought his puppy to his senior brother's hall to wait for him out of boredom.
Just as he was feeling bored, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Who?" Lan Shuxing turned over and jumped away swiftly, flicking his long sleeves, and a puff of pink smoke rushed towards the figure.
"It's me." Yuanqiu hugged Zuo An and blew gently, and the pink smoke was blown away without touching them at all.
"Senior? Why are you here?" He came so suddenly that Lan Shuxing narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, and saw that Yuanqiu was holding someone in his arms.
That mortal clerk?
"What medicine did you give him? He feels so much pain after taking it!" Yuanqiu carefully placed Zuo An on the chaise longue, and looked at Lan Shuxing angrily with a pair of blood-red eyes, as if Lan Shuxing could not explain himself and he would die here today.
Lan Shuxing walked up to Zuo An under the man's threatening gaze, lowered her head to check, and saw that Zuo An was already in so much pain that he was unconscious, but she was not panicked at all.
"That's normal."
"What's normal about it?" Yuanqiu felt that Zuo An was about to faint from the pain. This guy was still saying it was normal. Did he think he was easy to fool?
"There's always a price to pay for a complete transformation!"
