Yamazaki was getting anxious. "You should at least give me some mature ones first, right?"
"That's fine. By the way, why are you the only one alive? Why don't those people eat the magical herbs?"
"They didn't dare to eat it because some people were so hungry that they died in agony after eating it, so they were afraid. I also tried it and understood the medicinal properties. Combined with the descriptions of medicines in ancient books, it is easier for me to distinguish the types of medicines than they are."
"How often does someone come into this place?"
"I don't know! I don't even know how many years have passed. After a group of people came in after me, no one else came in."
It should be the Wei family. The vortex has not been opened for decades. If it is reported to the higher-ups, I don’t know how they will open it. However, this has nothing to do with her.
"It's been over eighty years since you came in."
Yamazaki lifted his arm to examine the wrinkles on his hand. It had been over eighty years. No wonder his skin was so wrinkled. He was already over one hundred and ten years old. Even if he had the magical herbs, how much longer could he live? Could he still take revenge with his own hands?
"Okay! Bring me a pen and paper, and I'll do the same for you. I have only one condition: I want to know the situation of the Yamazaki family before I die, and I want revenge."
"Don't worry, we will help you investigate the Yamazaki family and the current situation of the First Family."
"Thanks!"
Yamazaki was thanking him sincerely.
After Zhou Xiang threw away her paper and pen and entered the wooden house, she hurriedly copied the ancient book.
Ling Ran rode his bike to the grassland to plant magical herbs. When he finished planting, Zhou Xiang went out and got him a bunch more.
Zhou Xiang repeated this process many times before she finished copying the ancient book. If she didn't understand something, she would ask Yamazaki Masaru in the wooden house.
Yamazaki Zhengdu answered her truthfully and even communicated with her, "Girl, are you also a cultivator?"
"No! What kind of immortal cultivation is that?" Zhou Xiang was furious when he mentioned immortal cultivation. "You spend every day in the formation space chewing immortal herbs. Even though you're over a hundred years old, aren't you still an old man? What is the point of cultivating immortality? Isn't it all about death in the end? Just like the immortal cultivator your family took in.
What are you cultivating for? Longevity? Without spiritual energy outside, and without the ability to grow these magical herbs, how can you achieve longevity?
Although his life span is longer than that of an ordinary person, how much more has he lost? Just like you, you have gained the opportunity of longevity and the technology to make medicine, but what have you lost?
Yamazaki was stunned. He had been here for decades and had never thought about this problem. He was always complacent and felt that he had obtained a supreme opportunity. But now it seemed that the loss outweighed the gain. If the Yamazaki family really fell because of his greed, he would be blamed for it even if he took revenge or found the secret of longevity.
When Zhou Xiang came to ask him questions again, he was sobbing. Zhou Xiang had a headache. When a man over a hundred years old cried, it sounded like a ghost howling. How should she respond?
"Why are you crying? Time has passed, and what was supposed to happen has already happened. There's no point in crying! Hurry up and get back to work, or I'll starve you to death and you'll never be able to take revenge."
Yamazaki sniffed, "You think I don't know? You actually really want me to take revenge. Besides, you can use me to make medicine. You are the biggest winner."
"Isn't that what humans do? When you came to Dragon Country, didn't you also use hatred and profit to achieve your goals? There's no difference.
Wherever there are humans, there are contradictions and conflicts; wherever there are interests, there are partners and rivals. Just like now, you and we are partners. Even if this partner is an enemy, we must first find the side that is most beneficial to ourselves, cooperate first, suppress the opponent, and then think about breaking up or falling out.
Yamazaki stopped crying because he was being ridiculed by a child who was nearly a hundred years younger than him.
"You must have experienced a lot, otherwise you wouldn't be so sharp in your words."
"Haha, my hobby is pricking people with needles. Hurry up and work, don't make me regret cooperating with you. You should know that we hate you R people the most."
"Cooperation? Exploitation, right?"
"Didn't you use me? You used me to get out, used me to investigate Country R for you. In the future, you might even use me to avenge you. Stop thinking of yourself as the high and mighty young master of a wealthy family. You're already a prisoner. It was the formation space that imprisoned you before, but now it's me who imprisoned you."
At this point, Yamazaki Zheng had a new question, "Right! Where did you imprison me? This wooden house didn't appear out of nowhere, did it? Once I'm out of the formation space, shouldn't I be free? You're not a cultivator, so what was that thing that trapped me in the beginning, and what's this mist that's blocking the door now?"
"You have so many questions. I'm not obligated to answer them. Besides, your family took in a cultivator, so you must know a lot. Don't play dumb and do your job properly, or I'll have my wife beat you up. If you keep nagging, do you see that short cabin next to the cabin? That's where I keep the people I hate the most. Do you see the bathroom? People can be locked up there, too."
Yamazaki stopped talking, and Zhou wanted to go back to the thatched hut to continue copying.
After copying, Zhou Xiang went to the wooden house. Yamazaki was putting a stack of papers next to the mist, waiting for Zhou Xiang to collect it. Zhou Xiang sneered, thinking that he was quite sensible.
A stack of papers came into Zhou Xiang's hands. She flipped through it and found that she was worthy of being the heir of a big family. Not only was she good at drawing, but she also had good language and writing skills. Her Chinese characters were written very neatly.
"I will verify these one by one. You can only choose one kind of magical herb to eat."
“But I’ve always eaten those kinds.”
"There's no room for negotiation. There's only one price. Take your pick!"
Zhou Xiang looked at the several kinds of magical herbs written on the paper, among which the main ingredients of Peiyuan Dan were included. If Yamazaki Zhengruo was born in ancient times, he might be an alchemist.
"Then let's go with the Tianyuan Fruit!"
"Wait."
Zhou Xiang threw the ancient book onto the table in front of Yamazaki in the wooden house, which scared Yamazaki. What kind of place is this? It feels even more cramped than the formation space. In the formation space, he is relatively free. The immortal herbs belong to him, and the territory is large. He can wander around at will.
Here, he was restricted from eating the magical herbs, and the only areas he could move around in were the two wooden houses and the yard, which also included the bathroom in the yard and the low wooden house.
Now, he is truly imprisoned.
Zhou Xiang went to Ling Ran's place. All the magical herbs outside had been dug up, but Ling Ran still had a bunch waiting to be planted.
Zhou wanted to pick up a shovel to help. In order to plant more magical herbs in the future, the distance between each herb was very large. After all the magical herbs were transplanted, this one-third of the grassland would only occupy half of the area.
