Chapter 9 Survival, Choice, Wisdom
"Ancestor, the blood river seems to have disappeared." In the valley shrouded by colorful poison barriers.
An old man with gray hair looked at a woman in her fifties beside him and said.
"It seems that Taoist Blood Mosquito is completely dead." Old Mrs. Ke, whom Taoist Blood Mosquito said, nodded after hearing this.
But even so, there was no hint of happiness on his slightly older face.
"Xiaomu, go to the village quickly and see if they are reinforcements invited by Ke Peng."
"Okay." After hearing this, the gray-haired old man nodded immediately and quickly ran towards the village.
Although his face was old, his movement was as agile as that of an ape, and a few rabbits disappeared into the valley.
"Uncle, now that the enemy has retreated, why does the worried look on your face become more serious?" Another old man who stayed behind asked.
"Although the enemy has retreated, we are still afraid that there are tigers behind us. Just now, the old guy Xue Mosquito shouted out the three words "Jinjin Dan" to that person.
"Five hundred years of life, whoever it is, I'm afraid I can't bear it." Old Mrs. Ke said with a solemn face.
"This... what should we do?"
"For the current plan, we can only hope that the other party is from Nanjian Palace. Only in this way can we have a glimmer of hope. If it doesn't work, I can only give up this golden elixir."
"Fortunately, the other party is not a tiger or wolf like Taoist Blood Mosquito. Even if we hand over the Golden Pill, the entire Ke family village can keep it."
"But this golden elixir was obtained by my uncle with great difficulty, and because of it, I am still seriously injured.
Now that your deadline is approaching, if you hand it over to others, I am afraid that within a few years, you will..." At this point, a strong sense of unwillingness emerged in the old man's eyes.
"Stop it." Before the old man could finish his words, Old Mrs. Ke immediately stamped the ground with her cane and shouted.
"You must not have other thoughts because of this. This person can easily kill Taoist Blood Mosquito, and he can equally easily destroy our Kejiazhai.
Don't destroy my entire village just because of a moment of greed. Besides, what if I have this golden elixir?
If the younger generation fails to live up to expectations, they will not end up in the same situation hundreds of years later.
What's more, with my current situation, even if I take this elixir now, I may not be able to successfully create the golden elixir." At this point, Old Mrs. Ke's whole look seemed to be a bit gloomy.
An aura that was more aging than that of the old man in front of him immediately filled the air.
"Let's go, help me go back and rest."
…
"Is this Zhi Rong Guo?"
"Yes, this Zhi Rong fruit was found by Xiu'er in a valley. Even among the Zhi Rong fruits, its quality is of the highest quality." Ke Peng said quickly, fearing that Zhou Yu would be dissatisfied.
Looking at the fist-sized fruit in his hand, which had a cyan color and a Ganoderma crown, Zhou Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"good."
Especially when his eyes swept over the fruits of the same size in the bamboo basket woven with spiritual bamboo in front of him, he felt even more satisfied.
A rough count of these fruits shows that there are at least nearly fifty. It is obvious that Ke Peng has put a lot of thought into this.
After all, this Zhi Rong fruit is also a third-grade spiritual fruit. Although it is not like the real Ganoderma lucidum, which often takes hundreds or thousands of years to be effective, it is still extremely cherished.
Taking the things in front of me as an example, it would not take more than fifty years for the three red mushroom crowns on this fruit to grow.
"I heard from my husband before that the purpose of obtaining the Zhirong fruit is to brew spiritual wine. I wonder if other spiritual materials are needed besides the Zhirong fruit?"
Seeing that Zhou Yu was satisfied, Ke Peng immediately asked what Ke Teng had specially reminded him before, in order to leave a good impression.
"If you, sir, need it, please speak up. There are a lot of spiritual materials in southern Xinjiang. But whatever you need, sir, I will do my best to provide it for you."
"In that case, I would like to thank Master Ke Village." At that moment, Zhou Yu did not hesitate at all and immediately reported many materials needed for Zuixian Brewing.
Listening to Zhou Yu read out seventy-seven kinds of spiritual materials at once, although there were many types, they were obviously real, which made Ke Peng feel relieved.
"I wonder if Master Ke has these spiritual materials here. If so, are you willing to spend the spiritual stones to buy them?" Seeing Ke Peng thinking deeply, Zhou Yu said immediately.
In fact, Zuixian Brewing only requires fifty-seven kinds of spiritual materials, but it is necessary to be on guard against others, so Zhou Yu would not be foolish enough to only report fifty-seven kinds.
What if the recipe for this Zuixian Brewing is leaked? This is a fourth-grade spiritual wine. In some cases, it is not much worse than the Golden Elixir.
"To be honest, I'm usually not good at this kind of spiritual materials, but since my husband proposed it, I'll go and make preparations for you now."
"It just may take some time. In addition, Miss Mu from Nanjian Palace is seriously injured and needs to recuperate at my daughter's place for a few days. I wonder if sir can afford to wait."
"In that case, it's all thanks to Master Ke." Zhou Yu immediately agreed.
Someone was preparing the spiritual materials for Zuixian Brewing for him, so there was no harm in waiting a few more days.
After leaving the courtyard provided to Zhou Yu, Ke Peng immediately walked out, preparing to find his nephew Ke Teng to prepare spiritual materials.
But when he arrived here, he saw that the two elders in the village had all arrived in Ke Peng's yard.
"Elder Mu, Elder Shan, why are you here?" Looking at the two elders in front of him, Ke Peng immediately saluted.
"Master of the Village, let me ask you, is that person really a disciple of the Yijian Immortal Sect?" Elder Shan asked quickly.
"Yes, in addition to the introduction in Huang Maple Valley's Taoist Fellow Zhao Ming's letter, Fellow Daoist Mu from Nanjian Palace has also been confirmed." Ke Peng explained.
"You all know Xiu'er's relationship with that fellow Taoist Mu, and she will definitely not deceive us on this matter."
"Then do you think he will be attracted by the Golden Pill?" After hearing this, Elder Shan and Elder Mu looked at each other and said tentatively while hesitating.
"Gold-forming elixir? Ancestor actually has a gold-forming elixir?" Hearing this, Ke Peng was immediately shocked, with a look of great joy on his face.
But soon, he seemed to realize something, and looked at the two elders in front of him again, with a solemn expression.
"The two elders suddenly revealed this hidden secret. Are they worried about Mr. Zhou?"
"Yes, before that Taoist Blood Mosquito died, he personally told him that our ancestor had a golden elixir." Elder Shan said with a bitter smile.
"Although this person saved my Kejiazhai, I believe you also know what the Golden Pill means to our ancestors and our Kejiazhai?"
"If you swallow a golden elixir, you will live for five hundred years. This is why the ancestor was injured, and why the Blood Mosquito Taoist teamed up with the crazy old devil to attack my Kejiazhai."
"What did the ancestor say?" Ke Peng asked directly, not paying attention to the ulterior motives in the words of the two elders.
Although he looks tall and thick, just because he can be the leader of the village does not mean that he is stupid.
"What the ancestor means is that if he wants it, give it to him. I just hope that Kejiazhai can be safe,"
"In that case, let's do what our ancestors want. Ke Peng knows the worries and expectations of the two elders.
But no matter how important the Jiejin elixir is, it is not as important as Kejiazhai.
What's more, being able to kill the Crazy Old Demon and the Blood Mosquito Taoist one after another, do the two elders really think that they can plot against each other?"
"But……"
"No but, if the two elders have other ideas, don't blame Ke Peng for not caring about the brotherhood between uncle and nephew.
Now that Mr. Zhou needs spiritual materials to brew spiritual wine, we should satisfy him as soon as possible.
