Wei lowered his head to take a look at his body - apart from the bones that had been eaten clean by maggots, there were only a few pieces of rags.
He spread his hands and said helplessly: "I am already in this state, what treasures and materials can I give you? Bones?"
Su Mu smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that knowledge is fine, but it has to be something I haven't learned before."
He simply didn't believe that there were no treasures or materials hidden on Wei's body.
Besides, he really wanted Wei's bones. Of course, he didn't want to use them to make soup, but to use them as medicine, to make instruments, and to draw talismans.
"Let me think about it." Wei seemed a little hesitant.
"It's okay, take your time to think about it, I'm not in a hurry."
Su Mu was indeed not in a hurry, because being anxious would only bring danger.
When Wei has used up the three doses of ointment and returned to the 100% painful torture of the maggots, he will definitely not be able to bear it and will want to get more ointment to relieve the pain.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Even the ancient gods cannot escape the law of true fragrance.
Wei received the three doses of ointment from Sumu, and used a secret technique to carefully preserve them in a dimensional space similar to a storage device. He then planned to leave to urge his followers and believers to speed up their research so as to make more useful discoveries as soon as possible and exchange them for the ointment with Sumu.
"By the way, this is for you."
Wei reached out and fumbled out something from the few remaining pieces of cloth on his body and threw it to Su Mu.
Su Mu took it and looked at it. It looked like a small piece of bone. It was not only smooth and translucent, but also had a jade-like luster. He asked, "What is this?"
"This is a very important bone in my body..." When Wei said this, he suddenly realized that Su Mu's eyes were looking down at him. He immediately became anxious and said in defense, "It's not there, it's not that short!"
Su Mu said innocently: "I just glanced at it casually, and didn't say where it was. Why are you so nervous? Okay, okay, tell me the function of this bone."
Wei introduced: "If you carry this bone with you at all times, I will be able to contact you at any time, so that I won't be unable to find you like before when you entered the Yuanjiao Secret Realm." Then he added with a hum: "Also let you know that I can't contact you not because of my lack of strength."
Su Mu secretly sighed. He didn't expect Wei to be so respectful. However, he also had a question: "This bone only has the function of communication. Does it have no other use?"
After all, this is a small piece of divine bone. It can't just be used as a mobile phone, right? No way, no way?
Wei imitated Su Mu and chuckled: "Of course it has other functions, but I sealed it. Do you want it? Bring me the ointment in exchange."
Su Mu didn't expect that Wei actually learned and used it immediately, and used this piece of divine bone to play a trick on him to cheat him out of money.
It can be predicted that if he agrees to use the ointment to exchange the sealed function of the divine bone at this time, he will most likely be slaughtered by Wei. Therefore, it is better to wait until Wei has used up the ointment before discussing this deal.
Su Mu put away the divine bone and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll study it first."
Wei sneered and said, "That was a seal I put down myself. No matter how much you study, you can't break it."
"Then I'll have to think about it too."
Wei Qing snorted and said, "I'm leaving. When you have thought it over, remember to contact me in time."
"etc!"
Seeing Wei's figure beginning to fade and the surrounding environment beginning to distort, Su Mu suddenly called out to him.
Wei was a little surprised: "Why, you changed your mind so quickly, have you thought about it?"
"No." Su Mu shook his head, "I just want to ask you, do you know Buzhou Mountain?"
Wei Dao said: "Of course I know, Gonggong hit Mount Buzhou in anger, what a famous story... Hey, what do you think Gonggong was thinking at the time? He failed in his fight for the throne with Zhuanxu, so he ran to hit the mountain, isn't that asking for trouble? Zhuanxu won't lose a piece of meat because of this."
Su Mu spread his hands and said, "You ask me? Aren't you from the same era as him? Why didn't you go and ask him?"
Wei was speechless, feeling embarrassed.
Although he and Gonggong are both ancient gods, there is a huge difference in their status.
Gonggong was qualified to compete for the throne, but he was just a minister under Erfu. He didn't even have the qualifications to meet Gonggong, let alone raise this issue in person... He was afraid that he would be torn to pieces by the hot-tempered Gonggong, right?
Fortunately, Su Mu did not continue this topic to embarrass him, and asked instead: "Do you know where Buzhou Mountain is?"
"Yes, it is just outside the northwest sea, in the corner of the wilderness."
"That was its location in ancient times. I'm talking about its current location, in the human world!"
The reason why the emphasis is placed on the location of the human world is because the events of the Yuanjiao Secret Realm have given the cultivation world and the magic world a new understanding of these legendary fairy mountains and secret realms.
There is now a consensus in the academic community that these fairy mountains and secret realms are likely to exist in the vast universe.
The sea mentioned in the ancient books is most likely not the ocean, but the sea of stars in the universe! It is only because of some special reasons that these immortal mountains and secret realms will open an entrance and exit in the human world similar to an interstellar portal.
Because of the example of Yuanjiao Secret Realm, this conjecture has become the mainstream. Su Mu heard about this from Wen Wubin while waiting for the Painted Skin Demons to return to the Yinshan Great Wall.
After listening to Su Mu's supplement, Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. It disappeared in the late stage of the second secret realm. No one knows where it will appear next time."
After a pause, Wei asked curiously, "Why are you asking about this?"
"You don't need to know this." Su Mu did not tell Wei the reason for looking for Buzhou Mountain, but just said: "If you can find clues about Buzhou Mountain, I will exchange the ointment with you. As long as the clues are good enough, the ointment will definitely be indispensable!"
The soul fire in Wei's eyes suddenly flared up, and he was very excited: "Really?"
Su Mu raised his right hand: "Of course it's true, I swear on my conscience!"
"Come on, you have a conscience?" Wei sneered.
Su Mu was immediately unhappy: "What do you mean by that? Go out and ask around, who doesn't praise me, Su Mu, for having a conscience and keeping my word? Believe it or not!"
Wei hesitated for a moment, and thought that regardless of Su Mu's conscience, he couldn't miss the opportunity to earn ointment, so he said, "Okay, I'll trust you once, but don't blame me for not reminding you. If you dare to play tricks on me, I will swallow you up in one gulp!"
Su Mu was not afraid of his threats at all: "I don't know how to play tricks, but don't try to fool me with discoveries like this one."
He snorted, and then his figure faded again.
Soon his figure completely disappeared from Su Mu's sight, and the surrounding environment twisted and changed from a dark and strange cage to a guest room on the airship.
Su Mu glanced at the teacup on the table, which was still steaming.
He picked up the spiritual tea that Liang Yi had refilled for him and drank it all in one gulp. Then he activated the [Lord of Shadow Stream] again, turning his body into a shadow. He quickly jumped out of the guest room and gave the retreat order to the monsters such as Caimao and Feili who were on guard outside the door.
Not long after they left, a man pushed open the door and walked in, washed the teacups on the table, cleaned the room thoroughly, and cast a traceless spell, making it impossible to find out who had been here.
After doing these things, the man left the guest room, turned and walked into another room, fell on the bed, and continued to sleep soundly, as if nothing he had done before was done by him.
At the same time, Su Mu's clone and monsters such as Cai Mao and Fei Li returned to their own airship.
After getting the USB flash drive from Liang Yi, Su Mu dismissed his clone and told Cai Mao and Fei Li to go and rest.
"Is this the USB drive that Brother Liang Yi gave me?" Su Ye leaned over to take a look. The USB drive was very ordinary, with nothing special about it. So he asked, "How credible do you think what Brother Liang Yi said is?"
Just now, Su Mu had broadcast the conversation between his clone and Liang Yi live to Su Ye, so she knew about the situation.
"It's hard to say." Su Mu shook his head, "But judging from his current attitude, he should have no ill intentions towards us for the time being."
He immediately handed the USB drive to Amiya and instructed: "Make a copy of the data stored in it and analyze it."
"Okay, Doctor." Amiya responded, picked up the USB drive with both hands, put it in her mouth, and began to read the data stored in it.
Su Mu spent money to upgrade the clone communication talisman he had secretly learned from Liang Yi to 10 points (perfect), then took out the tools and materials for drawing talismans and drew one immediately.
By the time he drew a clone communication symbol, Amiya had copied the data in the USB drive and returned it to Sumu.
Su Mu wanted to try the clone communication talisman, but for safety reasons, he did not give the USB flash drive to the talisman to send. Instead, he let it go to the Yuanjiao Secret Realm to find Wen Wubin and report the news.
The searching function of the clone communication talisman is a bit like that of a dog. The difference is that a dog relies on smell, while this talisman relies on the fluctuation of spiritual patterns... However, the way it flies and sniffs all the way is still very much like a dog.
Fortunately, this talisman will not change into the appearance of its user until it finds its target.
Otherwise, before Principal Wen is found, the news that Su Mu has become a dog will spread first...
In the secret realm of Yuanjiao.
Wen Wubin and Fei Yuqing are leading a team of scientific researchers to investigate the local spiritual energy, water, soil, minerals, vegetation and other conditions.
Suddenly, Wen Wubin, Fei Yuqing and others all looked in one direction.
A handsome man appeared there.
"Sumu? Why did you come in again?" Wen Wubin was surprised to see 'Sumu' suddenly appear, and then frowned again: "No, you are not Sumu!"
"Principal Wen, I am Su Mu, but this is a communication clone I created using the clone communication talisman."
Su Mu quickly revealed his identity and asked Wen Wubin to release the soundproofing technique. Then he told Wen Wubin and Fei Yuqing the information he had learned from Liang Yi and Wei.
After listening to this, Wen Wubin and Fei Yuqing looked at each other in confusion, and couldn't understand why Liang Yi was so active in helping them in this matter.
Is it just because of his personal relationship with Su Mu? I'm afraid not.
They were also skeptical about the possible location map of Buzhou Mountain drawn by Liang Yi. But no matter how skeptical they were, they had to make an effort to investigate. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry.
"Where is the USB drive Liang Yi gave you?" Wen Wubin asked.
Su Mu replied, "I didn't bring it with me because I was afraid something might go wrong on the way. This is also the first time I've used this talisman, so I'm not sure about its specific effects."
Fei Yuqing nodded in approval: "You are right to do this. Keep the USB drive safe. We will send someone to get it later. In addition, your clone communication symbol is also quite interesting. It can communicate freely inside and outside the secret realm..."
Su Mu grinned and said, "I will put this product on the shelves in the Krypton store later. The school is welcome to purchase it."
"I knew it would be like this." Wen Wubin slapped his forehead, feeling helpless, but also thinking that this was how it should be: it would be strange if Su Mu didn't ask for money.
After finishing the report, flames immediately jumped out of Su Mu's body and he was burned to ashes in an instant, which scared the unsuspecting researchers nearby.
Sumu was burnt to ashes? Isn't this too sudden?
At the same time, in the Arctic Circle, on an airship.
There was a sudden and hurried knock on Su Mu's door.
