Chapter 77: Bet with the Little Medicine Boy

"Long Xuan." At this time, the little medicine boy came over with a serious look. Just when Long Xuan thought that he was also going to make a barbecue with him, he came closer and whispered: "Do you have a waste pill of the Gathering Spirit Pill?"

The little medicine boy looked at him seriously. He had already reached the peak of the Gathering Spirit Pill by eating waste pills crazily, and was only one step away from the Marrow Cleansing Stage.

But now the spiritual power of heaven and earth is thin, and all Gu cultivators can only use the power of pills to break through. He had to prepare for the matter of the Gathering Spirit Pill.

Hearing this, Long Xuan looked at him unexpectedly. He was not stupid. He had guessed that the little medicine boy was going to use the characteristics of the Xiaoqiang Gu to be immune to poison and use the power of the waste pill for free to break through.

It must be said that he really has an amazing brain hole and unique ideas. This is really a good idea. This brain hole is almost catching up with himself.

It is definitely a good idea to use the Xiaoqiang Gu to eat waste pills, but the power of waste pills is far from comparable to that of mature pills.

Even if the little medicine boy wants to use the power of the waste pill of the Gathering Spirit Pill for free, the possibility of a successful breakthrough is very small.

So Long Xuan also leaned close to his ear and whispered: "I said, my success rate in refining pills has always been 100%. How can I get you a useless pill? Aren't you making things difficult for me?"

The little medicine boy twitched his mouth and looked at him speechlessly.

Someone can have a 100% success rate in refining pills? Will he die if he doesn't brag? He has seen people who can brag, but this is the first time he has seen someone who can brag so much. In their village, bragging is not taxed?

It's really a cow flying in the sky, but he is bragging on the ground. This is a bit too much.

Of course, the little medicine boy couldn't believe such a thing, and just thought Long Xuan was bragging.

"Okay! When I didn't tell you, I already guessed that you were an alchemist when you bought my alchemy furnace, and you just mentioned the Gathering Spirit Pill to Taoist Li, so I had to suspect that you had the Gathering Spirit Pill."

"Let's make a bet. You give me three Gathering Spirit Pills, and I'll give you my share of the treasure hunt."

"No one knows what's in that cave now. If the treasure that belongs to my share is greater than the value of three Gathering Spirit Pills, then you win."

"If the treasure that belongs to my share is less than the value of three Gathering Spirit Pills, then I win."

"No one can ask for the account afterwards. Do you dare to bet?" The little medicine boy looked at Long Xuan and whispered.

Long Xuan stroked his chin and looked at him again in surprise. At this time, he really looked at this little medicine boy with a new look.

This little medicine boy is really smart. Not only can he observe from the details that he has the Soul Gathering Pill, but he also learned to get something for nothing.

However, he is really interested in this bet.

What is in that cave is completely unknown to them. It may be rich or poor. After dividing it into five, no one knows how much they can get.

What's more, this cave was discovered by Taoist Li. According to the rules, he has to take half of the treasures in the cave, and the treasure with the highest value in the cave also belongs to him.

In this way, the treasures distributed to the rest of the people will be even less, and it is hard to say who will make the profit in the end.

However, three Soul Gathering Pills are nothing to Long Xuan, who has a 100% success rate in alchemy. He doesn't feel bad even if he loses them. Of course, he is willing to accept this bet.

"Okay! Then I'll bet with you. It's agreed that you can't ask for the account afterwards."

Long Xuan secretly took out three Soul Gathering Pills and put them into his hands.

The little medicine boy was surprised. He looked around with his peripheral vision. After finding that no one noticed this side, he quietly collected the Gathering Spirit Pill in the storage bag.

At the same time, he also looked deeply at Long Xuan, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.

Through several observations, he could see that Long Xuan was a very suspicious person. His style of doing things was extremely cautious. He was cautious in everything and did things without leaking a drop of water.

And he actually gave the Gathering Spirit Pill to himself first, not afraid that he would not admit it after taking the pill.

Such a person would never trust anyone easily. His doing so could only mean one thing, that is, he was absolutely sure to beat himself, so he was not afraid that he would default on his debt.

The little medicine boy's pupils shrank, and he was immediately afraid. He guessed that this person must have a strong trump card, and more than one, and this person must not be provoked.

After the five people rested well, they set off again. However, in order to take care of Li Laodao, they deliberately slowed down.

The location mentioned by Li Laodao was a bit far away. Under his guidance, they took more than 20 days to get there. This round trip took two months.

Long Xuan could only hope that there were good things inside, otherwise it was not worth spending so much time. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep at home?

The location of the cave mentioned by Taoist Li was in a magma terrain in the underground world. There was magma everywhere, and sparks flew out from the magma from time to time, emitting scorching heat. Even the rocks here were black.

Laodao Li laughed and said, "Haha! It was also a coincidence. During the last beast tide, I was chased by a spirit beast and happened to find this place. I'm afraid none of you know where the cave is."

The little medicine boy nodded and guessed, "This cave is near the market, but it has never been discovered for so many years. It must be very hidden."

"The magma is a place that humans dare not set foot in. The cave should be hidden in the magma, right? I can't find a more hidden place than this."

"Oh?" Laodao Li looked at him unexpectedly and smiled, "You are smart. Although what you said is right, it is not accurate enough."

"To be precise, the cave is on a rock wall on the other side of the magma sea. The road is paved with stone pillars and leads to the shore in a curved way."

"But all the stone pillars are hidden by the illusion array and cannot be seen at all. If I hadn't fallen into the magma while being chased by the spirit beast, I found that I was not dead. I would never have found this cave."

"The stone door of the cave was also hidden by the illusion array. Last time, I found all the stone pillars by throwing stones and Found the stone door of the cave. "

"But thinking that the owner of the cave can set up such a sophisticated illusion array, the killing array in the cave must be very powerful."

"So I didn't dare to go deep, and retreated, preparing to find some teammates to go in again. Although some treasures will be divided, it will be much safer. "

"But those stone pillars are not connected in a straight line, and there is no reference on the magma surface. I have forgotten where they are. I am afraid we need to search again. "

Li Dashan said at this time: "Isn't it just throwing stones to ask for directions? It won't take much time. I will find the way. "

After looking at him, Emperor Xin said: "Don't be impulsive, this place is not as simple as you think."

"This is a bit like an ancient formation. Haven't you ever thought about why the owner of the cave made the stone road into a curve instead of a straight line. "

"The straight line between two points is the shortest. In order to facilitate travel, he should make the way home into a straight line. Why bother so much? Isn't this just torturing yourself? "

"This..." Hearing this, Li Laodao was stunned.

Indeed, why did the cave owner make the way home winding instead of straight? Doing so would only make it inconvenient for himself and waste his time.

He did not think about this problem at first, but subconsciously thought that it would be more concealed.

But now that I think about it carefully, doing so is just a waste of time.

I accidentally fell on the first stone pillar, and I threw stones to ask for directions to find out all the stone roads. This is not hidden at all, and it can't stop people at all. It will only embarrass myself. Maybe one day I will remember the wrong way and fall down.

It's better to make a straight line directly.

Emperor Xin said very seriously: "This is an ancient formation. You just said it wrong. There is not a stone pillar connected to form a curve in the magma, but a piece of stone pillars. The number of stone pillars may be countless."

"Among so many stone pillars, only a very few are correct. These stone pillars are connected to form a route."

"And the rest of the stone pillars are wrong. Nothing will happen if a stone is thrown on them, but if a person steps on them, it will trigger the mechanism, and then the stone pillar will sink, or there will be other dangers."

"You are really lucky. You can perfectly avoid all wrong options and find the correct route with one life. How did you do it?" Emperor Xin looked at him with a strange look.

Hearing this, Taoist Li opened his mouth wide and broke out in a cold sweat. He was completely frightened at this moment, and there was a lingering fear in his heart.

How did he do it? He didn't know how he did it, but he felt that his life was really great. It was too thrilling. He was surprised that he could survive.

Long Xuan looked at him with shocked eyes and was also completely shocked.

What kind of luck is this? There is only one correct route for a piece of stone pillars. The probability of passing is so low that it is unimaginable. How did he survive?

This Taoist Li is probably also a son of luck. Is he going to stage an old man's immortal record?

Long Xuan's heart was shocked, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him was different.

"Then can I fly over?"

At this time, Long Xuan thought that he could step on his right foot with his left foot and fly over directly, but he didn't know if it was feasible.

Emperor Xin looked at him with a strange look again. Flying over, he thought he was an aerial acrobat, and he still flew over, why didn't he go to the sky!

"If you don't want to be sucked into the magma, just fly."

"Once you come here, you must follow the rules of the cave owner. Other things like climbing ropes, jumping over, riding spirit beasts... are not allowed."

"The cave owner has already thought of everything you can think of. How could he leave such an obvious loophole?" Emperor Xin rolled his eyes at Long Xuan and said.

"Okay, then just pretend I didn't say anything." Long Xuan smiled awkwardly.

Of course, he just said it casually. He wouldn't be so reckless. Even if he flew over, he would definitely let Yan's clone test it first to confirm that he was not dead before flying.

"So, the last time Li Laodao found the stone door of the cave was entirely because of his luck. Now he has forgotten the route, which means we have no other way?" Li Dashan frowned and said at this time.

"Yes, just stand in a row of people behind, try the road one by one, and if one dies, the person behind will take over, and soon the correct route will be found." Di Xin said lightly.

Long Xuan was shocked. Isn't this the squid game in the previous life? But there are only five people in his group, and this number of lives is not enough to fill it. Even if he is the last one to go, it will definitely be his turn.

"Li Laodao, you are lucky, you go first!" Long Xuan looked at the son of luck and said.

"I... no no no no!" Li Laodao's head shook like a rattle, and he was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly.

"You should go first. I used up all my luck last time, and even my credit turned into a negative number. I must have made a wrong step this time."

"No, you are the son of luck, so you should go first. Elders should be given priority. I have always had the tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young."

"No, no, no! You should go first..."

"You still have the leisure to joke at this time." Emperor Xin rolled his eyes at them and said, "In fact, there is another way, that is, I will directly break this formation."

"But I don't know if it will succeed. I can only try it for now. If it doesn't work, you two can go forward to explore the way."

Long Xuan nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll go to the bathroom first and be back soon. You go ahead and do your work."

Emperor Xin said lightly, "It's true that the noble man has a lot of shit and urine when he goes out. Go and come back quickly. Don't fall into the magma. I will open the cave later and no one will wait for you."

"Don't wait for me. You can hold it for me when the treasure is divided." Long Xuan ran away immediately.

Turning left and right, Long Xuan ran to a very hidden corner. Looking back, he found that no one was following him, and the Eye of Heaven did not see the tracking bug, so he released his flame clone.

He certainly did not come out to shit. According to the plan, he was going to replace his clone at the entrance of the cave.

No one dared to guarantee that the cave was 100% safe. Any accidents could happen at that time.

What’s more, the man called Li Dashan did not make him feel at ease, and that Emperor Xin was not a good person.

He felt that it was not safe for him to enter the cave, so he simply let Yan’s clone go in for him, and he would stay outside.

If something really happened, it would be Yan’s clone who died, and he had nothing to do with it.

So Long Xuan took this opportunity to withdraw, ready to swap himself with the clone, so as to deceive the world.

He hung his storage bag and insect breeding bag on Yan’s clone’s waist. The clone could only copy the ability of the internal Gu but not the external Gu. This move was also to prevent Yan’s clone from fighting in case of internal strife.

Finally, Long Xuan patted Yan’s clone on the shoulder and told him: "I’ll give you a difficult task. You will enter the cave to search for treasures on my behalf now. Keep an eye on Li Dashan. Your chance to make contributions has come. Don’t let me down."

Yan’s clone has always been hardworking and has done a lot of hard and dangerous work. He has long been accustomed to it. Without any rebuttal, he walked away.

Good things are always done by the original body, and bad things are always done by the clones. What can he do with such an unscrupulous master?

After Yan's clone left, Long Xuan released the clones of Li and Li. Lin's clone took care of the spiritual medicine in Long Lao's medicine garden, and Gui's clone took care of his own medicine garden at home. After Yan's clone left, he only had two clones left to use.

Long Xuan didn't expect that there was a magma zone near the market. This was exactly the terrain he had been looking for for a long time.

Over the years, he has sent clones to various places with dangerous environments to collect various species of top-quality water bears. Now he has collected almost all of them, except for the top-quality water bears that live in the extremely hot zone and are good at resisting heat.

Now that he has finally found the magma environment, he took this opportunity to collect this last kind of water bear.

After that, the matter of refining the water bear Gu can be put on the agenda. Long Xuan has been looking forward to the water bear Gu for a long time. At this time, he can't wait to go back to refine the Gu immediately after this trip.
