The two stopped only when they reached a forest park where there were few pedestrians.
Wang Xiaohai pulled Leng Junwen behind the rockery and released his control over his muscles and nerves.
"What do you want?" Leng Junwen said angrily, "You don't respect the elderly!"
"Don't take advantage of your age," Wang Xiaohai said. "Where did you get these herbs? Tell me the whole story, and I'll let you go."
"Do you think I will tell you? I've already said that this is the capital of my life. Let me tell you, what will happen if you try to steal my business?" Leng Junwen looked around the park and saw only scattered trees and bushes, as well as emerald green dogtail lawns and cobblestone paths. There was nothing else to see, not even a passerby!
"What's the point of the government building this lousy park?" Leng Junwen couldn't help but curse. "Why not build a few more houses and sell them for money?"
"It doesn't matter how many buildings are built. The alliance government only wants to control the population of the planet." Wang Xiaohai said, "Don't change the subject. Do you want money over life?" Wang Xiaohai knew that most people who came to live on the longevity planet were afraid of death.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you. There's a lot of medicine here anyway, and you can't take it all." Leng Junwen wondered how the United States' computer and surveillance systems hadn't noticed him being coerced for so long. Or how come they hadn't reported it to the police? Or how come they had reported it but didn't respond?
A lot? Wang Xiaohai suppressed his excitement and said, "Take me there right away." He pulled Leng Junwen to the side of the road and saw a hovercraft parked there. He opened the door, turned off the noisy alarm, threw Leng Junwen into the back seat, and drove away.
"Show the way." Wang Xiaohai said to Leng Junwen.
The car flew at low altitude for three hours and arrived at the mountainous area of Changshou Star. It flew over the top of a group of tall oak trees, startling a flock of birds.
"The longer the rich people on the longevity planet live, the more wealth they accumulate, and the harder it is for the poor to have a chance to turn things around. The gap between the rich and the poor will become wider and wider, and the social instability index will become higher," Wang Xiaohai sighed.
"This started after the first spaceship was invented in the Ludo galaxy. Immigration to Changshou Star has a history of thousands of years, and no one can change it." Although Leng Junwen was Wang Xiaohai's prisoner, he still couldn't help but refute.
"Have we arrived yet?" Wang Xiaohai was too lazy to argue with him.
"Just fly another two kilometers." The old man kept looking out the window, hoping to meet someone.
"Don't even think about it. I've locked the windows. You can't call out to anyone if you run into them." Wang Xiaohai saw Leng Junwen's actions through the endoscope and couldn't help but say, "You've hurt so many people. Now's the time to pay your debts. So, don't even think about running away."
"I didn't harm anyone!" Leng Junwen defended himself. "Some families had children who were dying of illness, but after taking my medicine, their children became full of energy and health. If they hadn't taken my medicine, the children would have died and would have had no future life. Thinking about explosions and such is a waste of time."
"Even if you saved one or two children, you harmed more children." Wang Xiaohai said, "Children are weak to begin with, and it is normal for them to catch a cold. You said it was some evil spirit entering their bodies, and then started selling your medicine, making money by cheating on your conscience." He thought that this divine crystal was only useful when absorbed by demigods or above. It would be a waste to grind it into powder and feed it to ordinary people. At most, it would absorb a tiny bit, and most of the rest would be excreted from the body as feces. It would be better to hang it on the chest as a jade pendant so that it would continue to be effective.
Leng Junwen opened his mouth, unable to refute.
The hovercraft drove to the foot of a hundred-meter-high mountain.
"This is it." Leng Junwen said, "I'll take you to your destination, and you must fulfill your promise and let me go."
"Wait a minute." Wang Xiaohai turned off the lights and system, opened the door and walked out. "I want to confirm whether you are lying to me?"
"There is a cave in the mountain that extends all the way down. At the end of the cave is a stone cave with medicinal stones piled up in it." Leng Junwen called the divine crystal a medicinal stone. In his opinion, it has no use other than making medicine.
Old man Leng was groping at the ground at the foot of the mountain, pushing aside the grass that covered it, revealing a large stone slab covered with mildew under the soil. He lifted the stone slab with great effort. Fortunately, the gravity of the longevity star was weak, and the gravity of the stone slab was also small, otherwise, as an old man, he would not be able to lift the stone slab weighing hundreds of pounds.
After the stone slab was lifted, a dark hole was revealed on the ground. Looking down, it seemed as if a giant snake was opening its mouth and waiting for them to jump in.
"You hid it well enough, even covering the entrance!" Wang Xiaohai sneered, "How did you find it before?"
"When I was a kid, I came here for camping with a few friends and accidentally fell in. My friends all thought I was dead, so I went home and dared not say a word." Leng Junwen recalled, "Luckily, there was soil underneath, so I didn't fall to my death. I waited for a long time but no one came to rescue me. I was hungry, so I kept walking. After half an hour, I reached the cave where there were these colorful medicinal stones. I was so hungry, so I imagined them as candies and put them in my mouth. I didn't expect that they could really satisfy my hunger and also cure my foot pain. I walked to the bottom of the cave with the medicinal stones in my mouth. It was not until a week later that my parents learned from other children that I fell here, and they brought lifeguards to rescue me." As he spoke, he took out a long rope from the grass, tied it to the tree next to him, and let one end of the rope hang down into the dark cave.
Wang Xiaohai felt Leng Junwen wasn't lying. He sensed an unusual energy emanating from the cave entrance, as dazzling as a torch in the darkness, though invisible to ordinary people. He pretended to slide down the rope, but in reality, he flew straight down.
As soon as Wang Xiaohai landed at the bottom of the cave, he felt the rope being cut by Leng Junwen, and heard the sound of rocks falling. The only ray of light from the cave entrance above his head disappeared instantly, leaving only endless darkness.
"Forget it. Since you gave me the secret of the divine crystal, I won't bother with you!" Fortunately, Wang Xiaohai's eyesight is now similar to that of the Yamabimon, and he can see in the dark.
It turned out that Leng Junwen agreed to bring Wang Xiaohai here so readily because he wanted to bury him in the underground cave.
"What a cunning old man!"
Wang Xiaohai accelerated in the winding cave passage, his body glowing, turning left and right flexibly, like a constantly flashing light spot. It only took him a few seconds to reach the cave that Old Man Leng mentioned.
A cave illuminated by the colorful light of the divine crystal is magnificent. Wang Xiaohai is also dyed a layer of colorful clothes by the hazy glow of the divine crystal.
"This is at least 100,000 divine crystals!" Wang Xiaohai felt like he had just eaten a pistachio and almost jumped up!
"I'll collect it!" Wang Xiaohai happily picked up the divine crystals with both hands without using his conjured giant palm.
It feels so good to be rich!
Now I have enough money to buy a third-level spaceship!
