Chapter 120
This thing can preserve the consciousness of an immortal being...
Cheng Hui rummaged in his pocket and quickly took out the bone bead that he had dug out from the bottle cork.
This thing can preserve the consciousness of an undecayed being, so I think it should be no problem to preserve the big boss as well.
"Wow? Jade bone beads!" The boss looked Cheng Hui up and down and said, "Boy, I didn't expect you to have so much stuff. You have all these things?"
"Jade bone beads? Is this thing very valuable?" Cheng Hui was stunned.
The boss couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Is this a matter of value? This thing is a treasure that money can't buy. You have to understand that this jade bone bead is made from the transverse bone of the heart of an immortal bone. An immortal bone only has one transverse bone, and the transverse bone is a line of defense to protect the heart. Who would be willing to refine this thing so casually?"
"Besides..." The boss glanced at Cheng Hui and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. You are just a little guy who has just established his foundation. You won't understand even if I tell you."
Cheng Hui: ...
No, just say what you want to say. Why are you attacking me personally? You think people with low cultivation have no human rights, right?
Well... in the world of cultivation, people with low cultivation levels really have no human rights.
Cheng Hui didn't dare to refute the boss and could only complain silently in his heart.
"Good, kid, I have high hopes for you. Here, this is a list with the materials I need. As long as you can help me collect them all, not only can I help you, I can even accept you as my apprentice." The boss took out a list from somewhere and handed it to Cheng Hui lightly.
Cheng Hui felt suffocated at just one glance.
What about the ten thousand year old imperial grass, the foot long phoenix feather, the blue dragon's reverse scale...
Not to mention buying it, he had never even heard of it.
And just by looking at the name, you can tell that these things are treasures at the bottom of the box no matter which sect they are placed in. Not to mention the others, just take the Azure Dragon's Reverse Scale... The last time a real dragon appeared in this Xuanheng Realm was hundreds of years ago. It is said that it was a passing dragon that left behind a large number of hybrid dragon species here.
But the name Qinglong sounds like a purebred, and you also need Qinglong's reverse scale... It seems impossible just by thinking about it.
"I say... Boss, do you have any misunderstanding about my strength?" Cheng Hui said helplessly.
He didn't want to offend the boss, but he felt that if the boss had any hopes for him, it would be better to extinguish them as soon as possible, because these things were not something he could touch at all.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Aren't you just a small foundation-building person?" The boss was very confused.
"So... do you think that the materials on this list are something I, a mere foundation-building person, can get?" Cheng Hui held the list with two fingers and shook it.
"That's nothing. You are in the foundation-building stage now, but that doesn't mean you will always be in the foundation-building stage. Besides, even if you can't do it, you still have your descendants. Anyway, I have the jade bone beads now, so there won't be any problems in the short term. Just take your time. I'm not in a hurry, why should you be in a hurry?" The boss looked indifferent.
Cheng Hui: ...ewmmm, okay, since you, the boss, are not in a hurry, there is nothing for me to be in a hurry for either.
With the idea that it's better to be less worried about having too much debt, Cheng Hui put the list away.
The boss waved his sleeves, and a layer of the wall was flattened, and dozens of dark spirit sandalwood stones fell to the ground.
"Here, these are the benefits I'm giving you in advance. By the way, since the jade bone bead you took out is very much to my liking, I want to remind you that an opportunity may be coming soon. I suggest you prepare in advance."
"Opportunity?" Cheng Hui's eyes suddenly lit up.
If you want to say what cultivators love most is probably all kinds of opportunities. These days, who still seriously cultivates and levels up? If you don't have some opportunities, if you don't jump three or five levels, you're embarrassed to call yourself the male protagonist of a cultivation novel.
Cheng Hui didn't have enough information to think that he was the hero of a novel, but it was an opportunity that he couldn't miss once he knew about it.
"Yes, it's a good opportunity for you, but..." The boss glanced at Cheng Hui again and said, "This opportunity may take a long time. If you suddenly disappear, your master won't look for you everywhere, right?"
"Uh..." Cheng Hui thought about it, it's true!
Apart from anything else, if he disappeared for several years without saying a word, Senior Brother Zhang would probably go crazy.
After all... Senior Brother Zhang is still responsible for taking good care of his junior brother. He is now bound to Lin Qingyang. Only when he is around can Senior Brother Zhang be sure that his junior brother is safe. If he also disappears, Senior Brother Zhang will definitely be anxious.
Besides, he is now responsible for managing the mine - although this is a responsibility he took on without knowing why, he cannot just abandon it so irresponsibly.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and tell my senior brother... Senior, can you share this opportunity with my other brothers?"
The elder shook his head. "No, you have a special physique, and I can help you. That's why I'm letting you go and grab this opportunity. As for your fellow disciples... those who aren't afraid of death can go, but the chances of survival are about 190-100. And, most importantly, this opportunity may not be suitable for them."
When Cheng Hui heard that the chance of survival was only one in ten, he gave up immediately.
While it's true that monks should have a spirit of adventure, that doesn't mean they should seek death. With such a low survival rate, the benefits they could gain might not be worth it, so it's not worth it.
After taking the jade bone bead that the boss was possessing, Cheng Hui was about to put it into the storage ring when he saw the jade bone bead suddenly fly up and then land on his wrist, forming a circle of black patterns, which looked like a bracelet.
"That's all." The boss said, "With the nourishment of the jade bone beads, I don't need to sleep all the time. I'll just stay here."
What could Cheng Hui do? He could only agree.
After the boss left, the team leader fell into a coma.
Cheng Hui collected the dark spirit sandalwood stones and then carried the leader on his shoulders.
The team leader was not completely useless. He had set up a formation here in advance. He carefully avoided the location of the formation. After walking out, he waved his hand to destroy the passage, leaving only a mark. In the future, he would let the supervisor in charge of the mining area come here to dig.
Anyway, the team leader also wanted to use this place to exchange for the protection of the Corpse Puppet Sect. When Cheng Hui was in the mountain gate before, he had communicated with many people. There were precedents for similar things. With the price of these dark spirit sandalwood stones, accepting an outer disciple was not a problem at all.
Following the same route they came, Cheng Hui and the team leader reached the ground in just half the time.
He handed the person over to the supervisor and explained the matter again.
He left only after the supervisor assured him that there would be absolutely no problem.
After returning to the mining area, Cheng Hui sent a communication talisman to Zhang Yifan. While waiting for Zhang Yifan, he called several other supervisors and fellow apprentices over and explained his upcoming departure.
He directly explained that he had some feelings and needed to go out and look for an opportunity, and others easily accepted his statement.
After all, cultivation is not something that can be achieved by staying indoors. Even long-term secluded cultivation will lead to bottlenecks. At this time, only by going out to gain experience can one break through this bottleneck.
Most people envy Cheng Hui. He hadn't established his foundation when he came here, but now he is looking for an opportunity to break through to the late stage of foundation building. Such a speed will be highly valued no matter where he is.
Although some of them were jealous and some were envious, no one was stupid. There was no need to offend a real person who was destined to achieve Nascent Soul in the future for those illusory things. So, when Cheng Hui said he wanted to go out to look for opportunities and experience, everyone was very enthusiastic and promised to do a good job in the mining area to ensure that no problems would arise.
Cheng Hui just smiled and said nothing. He was not the real person in charge of the mining area. If he left, there was still Senior Brother Zhang. However, it didn't cost any money to say nice things, so there was no need for him to be serious about it.
After sending away these managers, Senior Brother Zhang also came out of seclusion. After consulting Cheng Hui, he considered for a long time and finally agreed to his request to go out and gain experience.
"Although you've only recently awakened, you're mature and seem quite experienced." Zhang Yifan saw Cheng Hui about to say something, raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I know you have secrets, but... who doesn't have a few secrets these days? As long as I know you're my junior brother's corpse, I'll definitely not harm him."
Cheng Hui stopped talking.
It's not that he and Lin Qingyang's disguises were bad, but...how should I put it? No one is stupid. They might not have noticed it at first, but after being together for so long, whether he was just beginning to develop spiritual wisdom or had perfected spiritual wisdom, Zhang Yifan would have to be blind to not be able to tell.
However, the eldest senior brother was unwilling to delve into the matter, and Cheng Hui accepted his kindness. After all, his situation was indeed special, and even he himself didn't know how to explain it.
"A cultivator cannot practice in isolation. Master has always hoped that you would practice diligently, mainly because your cultivation is too low and you would encounter danger if you go out. But I guess he didn't expect that your cultivation would improve so quickly. You have entered the middle stage of foundation building in less than half a year." Zhang Yifan suddenly couldn't help laughing when he talked about this.
When he first went out, his master repeatedly told him to take good care of his junior brother and not to let him go out and have fun - no, to go out and explore the world - until he had at least established his foundation.
But I didn’t expect that in less than half a year, he had already reached the middle stage of foundation building.
Zhang Yifan ended his recollection and looked at Cheng Hui in front of him, feeling a little emotional. He had known that his junior brother was very extraordinary, but he did not expect that this extraordinaryness would be reflected in Cheng Hui.
Their original corpses can indeed be restored to the appearance of ordinary people, but that is only when their cultivation reaches a certain level. Moreover, corpses are just corpses. Their essence is zombies. They don't need to breathe, have infinite strength, and have cold bodies. These are their characteristics.
But the Cheng Hui in front of him looked like a real person. He could breathe, his face was rosy, and when he got close to him, he could even feel his body temperature. No matter how he looked at it, he looked more like a living monk than a zombie.
If Zhang Yifan had not seen with his own eyes the tragic scene of a big hole in his chest, he would even have suspected that this man was the twin brother of the corpse or something.
Forget it, why think so much? Everyone has their own destiny. Although my junior brother is very powerful, I am not bad either.
Zhang Yifan smiled kindly and reached out to touch Cheng Hui's head. "Go ahead if you want to, but both you and my junior brother should be careful about your safety. People out there are unpredictable, so don't trust anyone easily, okay?"
Cheng Hui: ...
I know it, but what's with that gesture of you touching my head and that kind expression on your face?
I thought you were my senior brother, but you wanted to be my father???
