Chapter 198: The one in a million saprophytic stone wants to make Wei Wei into a human being...
The patient in the sanatorium turned out to be Hei Yankai.
Gao Mengtang stared at the drawing on the notebook. There was no doubt that it was a sketch of Li Mo's scroll. But Gao Mengtang remembered that Li Mo's original drawing was of average quality, with inaccurate shapes, inaccurate perspective, and average colors.
This pencil sketch is of a much higher level. It can be seen that Hei Yankai has a solid foundation in art, comparable to Gao Mengtang.
The Black Banquet was held in the other world, how could it be painted like that... Gao Mengtang complained in his heart.
At the same time, Gao Mengtang became more curious about Hei Yankai. He had never seen Hei Yankai's face until now.
After leaving the secret realm and opening his eyes, Gao Mengtang told Bai Jie and Tu Cheng about his discovery and praised them: "Hei Yankai has been practicing painting very hard, and his progress is very obvious."
Tu Cheng and Bai Jie forced a smile.
After a few seconds, Bai Jie sighed and said, "Boss, we have run out of energy restorers."

Shortien's private residence.
Luca stealthily pried open the door of the interrogation room. The smell of blood hit him in the face. He leaned inside and took a look. It took all his self-control not to scream.
Blood splattered on the ground and ceiling, staining Wei Wei's emerald green Tang suit red. Wei Wei had one arm and two legs chopped off, and one eye was gouged out.
Wei Wei lowered his head and closed his eyes, dirty black and red blood flowing from his dark eye sockets.
"Oh my God," Luca stumbled to Wei Wei and tried to break the magic circle that bound him. The magic circle was set up by Xiao Tien, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
"Wake up, wake up," Luca gently shook Wei Wei awake and stuffed a prop [Unknown Magic Box] into his hand, "Use it, it can evolve into an identity card. If it evolves successfully, you may be saved."
With a trembling eyelash, Wei Wei slowly opened his eyes. His aqua-green pupils were already misty, like a polluted spring lake. Luca opened the magic box with trembling hands, and Wei Wei struggled to reach into the magic box with his only remaining arm.
He grabbed out a handful of golden beans.
Luca stared at Wei Wei closely, not missing any sign of his reaction.
"Ten years ago... when the prosecutor broke into my house, he found four boxes of golden beans under my bed." Wei Wei closed his eyes again, breathing weakly, "That was the last time I saw my parents."
The golden beans fell to the floor, bouncing lightly, making a pleasant sound, and at the same time, turned into mist and disappeared.
Evolution has failed.
Luca wiped away his tears and said, "I will find a way to save you. Hold on, you must hold on." He turned and ran out. At this time, Wei Wei coughed up blood.
"Blind man, how is he?"
How could Luca know that Gao Mengtang's whereabouts were unknown and his life or death was uncertain. Wei Wei also knew this and he actually asked Luca "How is the blind man?"
It is very likely that Wei Wei has lost his mind.
Luca suppressed the sob in his throat and said, "The blind man is fine. He is safe. You have to hold on."
"Yeah." Wei Wei smiled gently, opened the damaged eyelid of his left eye, and looked at Luca, "Then I feel relieved. Thank you."
Luca couldn't help crying, he locked the door of the interrogation room again and ran away quickly.
We must find a way to save Yue Fan's people, we must find a way...
Oh, right! The Xiao family mansion! The monster in the dungeon...
He ran in such a hurry that he bumped into two servants without realizing it.
The attendants looked at each other blankly, then quickly stood up and adjusted their cloaks.
"Luca is weird," one of the attendants said.
The other thought for a moment and said, "Report this to Patriarch Xiao."

"How long can you last?" Gao Mengtang rummaged through the bubbles, found two bottles of intermediate spirit value recovery agents, and stuffed one into each of the two people's hands.
Bai Jie: "Including this bottle of recovery potion, my spirit value will drop below 40 in half an hour."
If the mental value drops below 40, the player will become mentally confused and partially lose the ability to move.
We have to speed up.
Gao Mengtang pushed open another door, and it seemed to be a storage room, filled with little skirts, stuffed toys, and colorful toys that a three-year-old child would like.
The secret realm [Past Events·Hanging Lake] was triggered again...
"Handsome, what are you looking for?" A doctor passed by the door of the utility room and turned sideways to look inside.
Hei Yankai frowned in distress: "A piece of stone."
"What kind of stone is it? I'll help you find it." The doctor also came in.
"Saprophytic Stone, looks exactly like Moon Ore, light blue, irregular in shape." Hei Yankai said in fluent Common Language, "Moon Ore is the raw material for carving the souls of moon creatures, it's not particularly rare. I seem to have confused Saprophytic Stone with Moon Ore and threw them both into the utility room."
The doctor smiled and said, "Little Confused", then he and Hei Yankai squatted in front of the pile of debris and rummaged through it. Finally, they found the Saprophytic Stone among a pile of marbles.
"Is it important?" the doctor asked.
Hei Yankai held the Saprophytic Stone in both hands and nodded: "Very important."
"What's the use?"
"It's useless to us. But we must never let the Eleventh Wise King obtain the Saprophytic Stone." Hei Yankai said.
The doctor was surprised: "Wise King Eleven? Isn't he dead?"
"But the soul of the Eleventh Wise King is missing. He is proficient in the art of resurrection. I suspect he will be resurrected at any time."
"I see... your knowledge of the common language has improved rapidly!" The doctor stood up and rubbed Hei Yankai's head. "The Jialong Hospital is now built. When will you go to the outer world?"
Black Feast: "Any time is fine."
Time passed faster, and medical staff came in and out of the small utility room. After an unknown number of days, Hei Yankai came to the utility room again, opened a small box, and picked up the saprophytic stone again. The medical staff followed him.
"The narrow gate can maintain the secret realm of [Past Events·Hanging Lake] for a long time," said a doctor, holding up a golden key made of light in his hand. "We put the key of the narrow gate into the Saproling Stone. Only the blood of the wise king can activate this stone. In this way, others will not be able to find the key of the narrow gate."
Hei Yankai hummed softly.
"I'm going to the Jialong Hospital in Cai City tomorrow. Let's say goodbye to this place!"
Hei Yankai raised his head and looked around. Gao Mengtang could feel his reluctance to leave.
"I've had a great time here, thank you." Hei Yan said, "Put the Saprophytic Stone in the room at the end of the corridor."
In the corner of the utility room, there was a full-length mirror. When Hei Yankai passed by, Gao Mengtang tried hard to see his face, but there was only a shadow wearing a light pink lotus-sleeved shirt, flashing by in the mirror. Hei Yankai's black curly hair was tied into a small bun at the back of his head.
…
"The room at the end of the corridor," Gao Mengtang suddenly woke up, "Go find it quickly, the key to the narrow door is there!"
Bai Jie and Tu Cheng hurriedly ran to the room at the end of the corridor. The iron door had an iris lock. They smashed it for a long time, but the door was still intact.
"The building has been cast with an [Indestructible] magic circle," Tu Cheng said breathlessly, holding the guanteng, "It can't be smashed open. What should we do?"
Gao Mengtang was at a loss. Like all those people who have picked up the wrong Lightning charging cable and still refuse to give up by plugging it into a C-port phone, he didn't know what he was thinking but put his face in front of the iris scanner.
"Welcome, little princess."
The door opened.
Tu Cheng exclaimed: "I'm sure this is Gao Mengtang's house."
Although it was strange, they didn't bother to investigate. Tu Cheng and Bai Jie's spirit value was only over 60, so they had to open the narrow door as soon as possible.
Upon entering the locked room, an atmosphere of despair and oppression spread: there were tens of thousands of light blue stones in the room!
It was mentioned in the secret realm that the Saprophytic Stone and the Moon Ore look exactly the same. There is only one piece of Saprophytic Stone here, and the rest should all be Moon Ore.
The pale blue fluorescent stones were piled up into small hills taller than a person. Trying to find the saprophytic stones here was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The anti-theft measures of Heiyankai were very clever. Among 100,000 fakes, who could pick out the real thing?
Gao Mengtang took out his sketchbook and quickly drew various views of the Saprophytic Stone, then handed it to his teammates: "There's no other way, let's go find it."
What’s the difference between this and finding the most special egg among a ton of eggs!
Tu Cheng and Bai Jiesheng were flipping through the ore helplessly, while Gao Mengtang was tearing up the [Skill Scroll: Dislocated Player] to gain the same skills as in the dungeon.
He summoned [Bloody Lady], [Li Xing], and [Hundred-Eyed Wizard], and asked them to follow him to find the Saproling Stone.
With a series of clangs and bangs, the Bloody Lady summoned 12 Iron Ladies. They were robots with a recognition ability much higher than that of the human eye. They could quickly identify a handful of ore with just a glance.
Gao Mengtang ate an eye-protecting blueberry and followed suit. The stones that were picked out and suspected to be saprophytic stones were sent to Gao Mengtang, who dripped blood on them one by one for testing.
After 15 minutes, Gao Mengtang still hadn't found the saprophytic stone and felt like he was going to become anemic.
"Is there no other way?" Tu Cheng said tiredly.
Gao Mengtang shook his head dejectedly: "Nothing... There is nothing else here except stones."
What's worse is that after using [Skill Scroll·Misplaced Player], the player's mana and stamina will decrease at an accelerated rate and cannot be automatically restored.
Gao Mengtang's magic and physical limits are only 50, which are automatically restored in the dungeon, and he can barely keep his physical and magic from decreasing. But now, the blue and red bars are at the bottom after 5 minutes, which makes his eyesight worse.
He was drinking the recovery potion while looking for something. At this moment, Tu Cheng beside him suddenly screamed and rolled on the floor holding his head.
Tu Cheng's spirit value dropped to 37.
Bai Jie hurriedly helped Tu Cheng out. As soon as he put Tu Cheng down, he screamed, "No, no! Bai Shu is not my father! I have severed my relationship with him. I am no longer a member of the Bai family. You can't seek revenge on me!"
He waved his hands in the air, trying to drive away the non-existent ghosts.
Bai Jie's spirit value also dropped below 40.
Gao Mengtang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and continued looking for the saprophytic stone.
"Fox girl, what are you looking for?" A ball of water appeared, and Hydra fell out with a plop. "Do you know Wei Wei..."
"What happened to Wei Wei?" Gao Mengtang asked hurriedly.
Hydra looked around: "Wei Weita was... a long way to go. Why did you call me here? Is there anything I can do?"
Gao Mengtang rubbed his eyes, which were unable to see clearly, and raised his sketchbook: "Find this stone. This is the saprophytic stone."
Judging from Hydra's expression, he obviously didn't know what the Saprophytic Stone was, but he could see that Gao Mengtang was very anxious, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just said "Oh" and squatted down to look through it.
"I'm so glad you're okay," Hydra said. "The bastard was jumping around in a panic. He thought you were dead."
Gao Mengtang drank another bottle of energy recovery potion. The pungent smell of blood made him feel nauseous. "What kind of danger did Wei Wei encounter?"
"Bai Ke wants to turn him into a human pig."
"What?!" Gao Mengtang was shocked. "They, they are so abominable!"
At this time, Tu Cheng and Bai Jie, who had been screaming, lost their voices one after another. Gao Mengtang's heart sank into his stomach. He felt the bodies of Tu Cheng and Bai Jie, and his palms felt cold.
They are about to die.
"Bai Ke, it's all Bai Ke's fault..." Gao Mengtang felt murderous for the first time.
The mechanical voice was sharp and piercing: "Found it."
The bloody lady picked up a stone, extended her arm, and handed it to Gao Mengtang.
Gao Mengtang squeezed out blood from his fingertips. The first drop deviated and fell between the Bloody Lady's fingers, and the second drop fell on the Saprophytic Stone.
A cool breeze blew silently, dispersing all the moon minerals in the room, and a door shining with white light appeared in front of them.
"Take Tu Cheng and Bai Jie and go find Wei Wei!" Gao Mengtang said, and stepped into the narrow door first.
