Origin Chapter 441: Gift

You should do your job well unconditionally. This is the duty of being a human being. But it’s not something that belongs to you. If you do it, you have to benefit from it. It’s just like paying overtime for overtime. It’s fair, reasonable, and justifiable.

If you have to pretend to be noble and not pay overtime, there is only one consequence, that is, it will not last long. Over time, you will definitely have resentment and slack off your errands.

The old man in black understands this, so emphasizing it will be beneficial.

Wu Zhongyuan also understands this truth, so he does not reject the benefits.

The old man in black stared at Wu Zhongyuan’s eyes with a serious expression, “I can give you five thousand years of life.”

Wu Zhongyuan raised his head and looked directly at the old man in black. He did not doubt the authenticity of the words of the old man in black, because the old man in black himself was a living example. If the old man in black can live to this day, he must have taken some kind of strange The elixir, it may not be elixir but something else, in short, it is a thing that can prolong life.

After a brief glance at each other, Wu Zhongyuan looked away and looked away.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn’t answer, the old man in black pointed to the source of the stream, “There is also a nine-leaf green lotus in the clean water pool. There are eighteen seeds in the lotus pod, and some are raised…”

Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand to interrupt the old man in black, “You should know that I won’t stay here forever.”

“Of course I know, even if you want to stay here all year round, I won’t agree,” the old man in black grinned wickedly, “You are young and energetic, and if you stay here all year round, good people will also It will become a bad person, and there is only the mother monkey on this island except the Lord, and you can’t get close to it.”

“You’re very thoughtful.” Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed.

The black-clothed old man pinched the sparse beard under his jaw, “That’s natural, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages for you, this is five thousand years of life, it’s enough for you to feel comfortable and enjoy the prosperity of the world.”

“What are you talking about that can prolong life?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.

“You agreed?” the old man in black asked rhetorically.

“You have to say what it is first,” Wu Zhongyuan said, “but don’t let me live enough, I can’t die if I want to.”

“You’re beautiful,” the old man in black glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, “Wan Shou Zhu can only prolong his life and cannot protect himself.”

“What is Wanshouzhu?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.

“I don’t know where this thing came from,” the black-clothed old man shook his head and said, “It was given to the Lord by someone else back then, but it’s the size of a soy bean, so you don’t need to swallow it. Five thousand years of life.”

Listening to the old man in black, Wu Zhongyuan was very curious, “Can I see it?”

“What’s the hurry, it’s not too late to look at it in seven days,” said the old man in black.

“What do you mean, you are going to leave in seven days?” Wu Zhongyuan frowned and asked, the reason why the old man in black can survive for five thousand years is undoubtedly thanks to the Wanshouzhu. The implication of the old man in black is that he will die after seven days. .

“Why are you still reluctant to bear me?” The old man in black asked with a smile.

“Are you really leaving?” Wu Zhongyuan confirmed again.

“Death is death, what do you say go, I’ve reached the deadline, **** it.” The black-clothed old man was chatting and laughing, no sorrow, only open-mindedness.

Wu Zhongyuan was greatly surprised, “It’s too coincidental, you won’t die if I don’t come, you will die when I come, you can’t live enough to find death, then keep the Wanshouzhu first, until you can’t stand it. I’ll take your place again.”

“As long as there is a slight chance, I will not leave the Lord. I really have reached the deadline. Whether you come or not, I will die in seven days.” The old man in black said.

“But your funeral hasn’t been arranged yet, that monkey can’t do errands at all…”

“How do you know it won’t do well?” The old man in black interrupted Wu Zhongyuan.

“I saw it with my own eyes. It left your master and ran into the woods to eat fruit.” Wu Zhongyuan said.

“That’s because it’s hungry, and it goes back when it’s full. Besides, it’s not that the Lord can’t take care of itself, it just needs someone’s help to take care of it,” the black-clothed old man paused for a while, then said again, “Actually, Choosing it is just a helpless move, it is really a subordinate policy, there are some things it can’t do, fortunately, the sky has eyes and sent you here.”

“I found it myself, what does it have to do with the sky.” Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old man in black did not argue with Wu Zhongyuan, “You just say whether you want it or not?”

If you were someone else, you would definitely agree to it, but Wu Zhongyuan didn’t make a decision immediately. This matter is not as good or bad as the old man in black said, but there are both advantages and disadvantages. Once you take over this errand, you have to Keep doing it, and relatives and friends cannot live for that long, and in the end, they will face a situation of loneliness.

“How many Wanshou beads are there in total?” Wu Zhongyuan asked.

“Two, one is with me,” the old man in black pointed to himself, and then to the monkey squatting high in the ruins, “one is on it.”

Hearing the words of the black-clothed old man, Wu Zhongyuan felt a little less concerned. Since he has two longevity beads, he will not be alone. , and leave the Wanshouzhu to others.

“You said just now that there is a nine-leaf green lotus at the source of the creek?” Wu Zhongyuan said.

“I thought you forgot,” the old man in black stood up, “Let’s go, I’ll show you.”

Wu Zhongyuan also stood up, moving his muscles and bones to follow behind the old man in black.

There is a small pool at the source of the stream, only a few square meters. The depth of the pool is about one meter. The shape is irregular. Half of it is in the open air and the other half is located under the mountain. The spring is located in the inner stone crack. There is a strange plant. The shape of the leaves is somewhat like a lotus flower, but it is much smaller than that of a lotus flower. There are nine lotus leaves floating on the water. Looking closely, the three colors are divided into nine grades, and the ninth grade should be darkened.

In the middle of the nine lotus leaves, there is a small lotus pod. The lotus pod is emerald green and slightly smaller than the ordinary lotus pod. The number of embedded lotus seeds is roughly the same as that of the ordinary lotus pod. However, there are eighteen, also divided into nine colors, two of each color.

Wu Zhongyuan bent down and looked inside, “This thing looks so strange, did you transplant it, or did it grow here?”

“It turns out that there are 18 seeds in three hundred and sixty years, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which can enhance the spiritual cultivation base.” The old man in black had already experienced Wu Zhongyuan’s trivial questioning before, “Don’t ask me about it. When was it born, it was already there when I first arrived at Xinyue Island.”

“So small, how can…”

“If you dare to ask me why it can improve your cultivation, I will kick you down.” The old man in black was so tired, “I have lived for so many years, and you are the most talkative person I have ever seen.”

Wu Zhongyuan, a big man, was criticized and rambled, and his face was a little overwhelmed, and he defended, “I’m not ragging, I just want to find out what happened.”

“You have to ask everything to the end, don’t you bother?” The black-clothed old man waved his hand impatiently, “You just know what it’s used for, and you have to figure out how they got here, you go down It’s uprooted, take it out and scrutinize it.”

“Okay, I will pay attention to it in the future.” Wu Zhongyuan accepts criticism. Once ideology is cultivated, it is difficult to change. Since he grew up in modern times, he has always wanted to stand on a scientific point of view. To explain supernatural phenomena, to put it bluntly, you must not only know what is, but also want to know why, otherwise it will feel illogical, and his habit is not appreciated by everyone, the old man in black hates his habit , so he limited the number of times he asked questions after getting bored.

After being criticized, I feel a little nervous when I ask another question. “The Middle Earth cattle are good at smelting Qi-tonifying pills. The effect of this nine-leaf green lotus seems to be somewhat similar to that of Qi-tonifying pills.”

“It’s not the same thing,” the black-clothed old man shook his head and waved his hand, “Qi-tonifying pills take effect slowly and take a long time.

“It’s so magical.” Wu Zhongyuan found that the monkey was looking over here from a high place while talking, so he wanted to ask the monkey if he found Jiuye Qinglian coming over to steal it. After thinking about it, he dismissed the idea. Eating this thing, and monkeys are naturally afraid of water, those monkeys who like to soak in hot springs in Guizi Kingdom are a very special case.

The old man in black judged from Wu Zhongyuan’s tone that his degree of surprise was not very high, so he showed contempt, “Blind and short-sighted, I don’t know the baby.”

After Wu Zhongyuan landed on the island, he was either ridiculed, attacked, or criticized, and his mood was very low. He was scolded again this time, which made him a little annoying, but he thought that the old man in black would die soon, so he could bear it. After coming down, in fact, the reason why he was polite to the old man in black was mainly because he respected this person deeply in his heart, and loyal people deserved respect.

“The nine-color lotus seeds are different in color, and the grades are different. The light red is promoted by one step, and the deep purple is even promoted by the ninth step.” The black-clothed old man said.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded repeatedly. In fact, the explanation of the old man in black was the same as his original idea. He also guessed that lotus seeds of different colors could be promoted to different grades.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan is still not very surprised, the old man in black frowned, “Do you understand?”

“Understood, even those who do not have aura cultivation base can become a cave **** in an instant even if they ingest pale red lotus seeds. If Ziqi Dongyuan ingests deep purple lotus seeds, they will become Taixuan. “Wu Zhongyuan said.

“Why do you eat like this?” The black-clothed old man stared angrily, “Are you a creature of dragon energy? It’s leaking, how did you turn into such an idiot?”

“Why am I wrong?” Wu Zhongyuan raised his voice.

“What’s the matter? Ziqi Dongyuan takes the pale red lotus seeds to become Taixuan. Why do you waste that ninth-order lotus seeds? It’s really stupid and wasteful.”

“Can you still eat like this?” Wu Zhongyuan was shocked. People have the habit of preconceived notions. He instinctively linked Jiuye Qinglian and Qi-tonifying pills. The pale red Qi-tonifying pills are only suitable for low-level warriors. Effective, almost useless for blue-violet two orders.

“Why can’t I, am I not clear enough? How can you be so stupid?” The old man in black sighed repeatedly.

Although he was scolded, Wu Zhongyuan did not retaliate. He was immersed in great joy at this time. Having these 18 lotus seeds was equivalent to having 18 Taixuan masters, and his waist suddenly became hard. …
