Chapter 56: Fruit and Golden Elixir
The Demon Lord tilted his head to look at her and nodded slightly.
After receiving the tacit consent, Jian Lin took a deep breath to steady her mind and summoned Tao Niang.
The peach pink light suddenly appeared, and Tao Niang appeared leisurely, landing lightly on Jian Lin's shoulder. She opened her confused eyes, not knowing where she was at this time.
Since Xie Jin came back, it was better to do less than to do more, so Jian Lin did not let her show up again.
So for Tao Niang, her last memory still stayed in the comfortable side hall of the Demon Palace. When the scene suddenly changed, she didn't notice anything was wrong at the first time.
"This is my good friend, Tao Niang, who is actually a peach demon." Jian Lin introduced the tree man, "The familiarity of Mr. Huaiyin may come from her."
Only then did Tao Niang discover the huge tree man. She was so frightened that she hugged Jian Lin's head. The big and the small collided. In the eyes of the tree man, Tao Niang might only be the size of an ant.
Only then did Tao Niang discover that the black cave she thought was actually the pupils of an acquaintance.
"That's it," the tree man moved his finger closer, and a branch suddenly sprouted from the dead wood finger. The branch became longer and thinner, and finally a small, white and transparent flower bloomed at the tip, which was delivered to Tao Niang.
"This is a meeting gift for you, little friend, please accept it."
Tao Niang felt warm in her heart, and a lot of her fear faded away. She stretched out her hand to pick off the small white flower and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Huaiyin."
Lord Huaiyin blinked slowly, retracted his fingers, and turned his eyes to look at the Demon Lord, "I wonder why little friend Mo Yan came to see me?"
"I recently went to the demon world," Demon Lord said firmly, "I accidentally got a good thing, and I came here specially to give it to Lord Huaiyin. I believe you will like it."
"Oh? What is it?" Lord Huaiyin asked with great interest.
"Water of the Tianhe River," Demon Lord took out a white jade porcelain bottle from his arms, "I know that Lord Huaiyin has been suffering from thirst. Although this bottle of water from the divine realm is not much, it will definitely relieve Lord Huaiyin.
two."
"The water of the Tianhe River..." Mr. Huaiyin fell into memories and said slowly, "The last time he came to deliver water to me was Divine Li Yang. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. Thank you, little friend Mo Yan, for remembering. I really need it."
"In that case, please accept it, Lord Huaiyin." The Demon Lord pointed with both hands, and the white jade porcelain vase floated up and disappeared between Lord Huaiyin's eyebrows.
Lord Huaiyin closed his eyes, the leaves rustled, and there seemed to be the sound of growth coming from the quiet dense forest. Jian Lin listened carefully, not sure what it was, but felt a sense of awe.
She asked the system, "Jun Huaiyin, is he a god?"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the system's voice was much softer, "No, he is born with the heaven and earth, and is a kind of existence."
A kind of existence, Jian Lin carefully pondered its meaning, and his sense of awe turned into respect.
After a long time, Mr. Huaiyin let out a sigh of contentment and slowly opened his eyes, "I like it very much. I don't know what gift I should give my friend in return."
The Demon Lord folded his hands and bowed deeply, "I want a piece of fruit from Mr. Huaiyin."
"Fruit," Huaiyin Jun was very surprised, "I have a lot of fruit, just to maintain the balance of heaven and earth. I never allow the fruit to leave my body."
The Demon Lord raised his head and looked directly into Lord Huaiyin's eyes, "I know, so I just begged, hoping that Lord Huaiyin would give me one."
After a long silence, Mr. Huaiyin said, "I believe that little friend Mo Yan will not do anything wrong, so I will give it to you."
Demon Lord's expression softened and he smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Huaiyin, for trusting me. I swear here that I will never abuse it."
Jian Lin looked sideways at him and felt infinite emotions in her heart. Lord Huaiyin believed that the Demon Lord would not do evil. Being trusted by Lord Huaiyin was like an affirmation from heaven and earth. Is this normal for the Demon Lord?
Recalling that since she met the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord has never done anything wrong. The reason why he became the Demon Lord was because he used a cultivation method that was against the way of heaven and was defined as a demon by hundreds of immortal schools.
And now, if the Demon Lord can be friends with Lord Huaiyin, is he really a person who violates the laws of heaven? Jian Lin couldn't help but fall into deep thinking.
A green fruit appeared from the center of Huaiyin's eyebrows, carrying a refreshing scent of vegetation, and landed in front of the Demon Lord. He stretched out his hand to catch it and bowed again.
After that, the two of them chatted for a few more words. At noon, the Demon Lord said goodbye to Lord Huaiyin and left with Jian Lin.
Jian Lin had a lot to ask, such as how the Demon Lord knew Lord Huaiyin, where did he get the water from the Tianhe River, and what was the use of the fruit.
As soon as he left the Abyss Basin, Jian Lin couldn't wait to ask.
The two of them stood on the top of the mountain, facing the cold wind. The Demon Lord spoke first and handed the crystal clear fruit to Jian Lin, "This fruit can be used as a carrier of the golden elixir. I will give it to you now. Remember to ask for it."
Keep it."
Jian Lin was shocked and quickly waved her hand to refuse, "No, no, no, these precious things were begged by the Demon Lord, I can't accept them."
"If you don't accept it, who else can I give it to?" Demon Lord said with great seriousness, "The only person close to me is you. Without the golden elixir, only you need this thing."
Although this is a bit unflattering, it is really touching!
Jian Lin froze on the spot, her heart sore and swollen. The meaning behind the Demon Lord's words was that he came here specifically to ask for her. He must be really good to her.
Is she really worth it?
Seeing that she was silent, Demon Lord explained patiently, "You may be able to find out why you haven't cultivated the golden elixir by going to the Guanlan Sect, but you probably won't be able to find a solution. In any case, it is a fact that your spiritual energy is meager now, not only
In this way, the progress of cultivating magic breath is slow. Maybe you can cultivate the golden elixir after ten years of cultivation, but now there is a faster option, why don't you?"
"Because it goes against the laws of nature," Jian Lin said blankly, "You should cultivate the golden elixir by yourself. Getting something for nothing is not the right way."
"You are in the Demon Sect, so why are you talking about the right path?" Demon Lord mocked mercilessly. "Human life span is only a few hundred years. You have already wasted the best period of your life. If you hesitate any longer, you will soon become an old woman."
Jian Lin was shocked, these words hurt her heart!
Jian Lin cannot cultivate the golden elixir in one day, and her appearance will change with the passage of time. When she is seventy or eighty years old, how will she face the devil who is eternally youthful and always handsome?
"I, I want it!" Jian Lin said loudly, "The Demon Lord is right, I shouldn't show off my strength. I have betrayed the Guanlan Sect a long time ago. It's so confusing to talk about whether it is the right path or not!"
The Demon Lord nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and placed the fruit in Jian Lin's palm, "Put it away, there is only this one. If it is lost or broken, I will never ask you for a new one."
Jian Lin looked at the fruit in her hand, held back her turbulent emotions, and promised with absolute determination, "No, I have the fruit. If the fruit is lost, I will not live anymore."
"Very good, remember what you said today," Demon Lord stretched out his hand to hold Jian Lin's wrist, "Let's go down the mountain and continue on our way."
Back on the boat, we looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, with the sun appearing and disappearing. It was the best scene of the day.
Jian Lin sat side by side with the Demon Lord on the bow of the boat and asked curiously, "Master Demon Lord, where did you get the Tianhe water you said you brought from the demon world? Why didn't I hear you mention it?"
"I exchanged it with Boss Snake," the Demon Lord replied lazily with his eyes closed, "I don't want to mention it to you, because I have to explain a lot and I'm bored."
Jian Lin choked, not caring about the Demon Lord's disdain, and asked shamelessly, "Master Demon Lord, how do you know that Lord Huaiyin's seeds can be used as the carrier of the golden elixir?"
"My father told me," the Demon Lord replied perfunctorily. "As for how my father knew, I don't know."
"Oh," Jian Lin responded and wanted to continue asking, "The devil——"
"If you ask me one more question," the Demon Lord opened his eyes a crack and shot out a cold light, "Do you believe I will kick you down?"
Believe it or not, Jian Lin truly believed that no matter how kind the Demon Lord was to her, he could not change the bad nature of the dog man.
She stood up dejectedly and slipped into the canopy of the boat. Seeing the boatman concentrating on paddling and setting a barrier with his hand, she hid in a corner and summoned Tao Niang, wanting to see the flower given to her by Lord Huaiyin.
Tao Niang stood on the table and handed the many white flowers to Jian Lin.
Jian Lin took it carefully, put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully, and asked Tao Niang in a low voice, "What is the use of this little flower? Can it replenish your demonic power?"
This is what she is most worried about now. If this little flower can replenish Tao Niang's demonic power, it will be a great surprise.
"I don't feel the demonic power," Tao Niang was also full of doubts, "Then Lord Huaiyin is a god, right? The things he presented must have nothing to do with the demonic power."
"No," Jian Lin also had a hard time grasping the attributes of Lord Huaiyin. "I don't think he is a god, but he is a very powerful being. The things he sends are definitely not simple. You have to keep them carefully. Maybe he will send them someday.
It will be put to great use.”
Tao Niang tilted her head and smiled, picked up the flower from Jian Lin's hand, held it in her arms and said piously, "Even if this flower has no use to me, I will cherish it."
"It makes sense," Jian Lin agreed with a smile, "I am too small."
"What does pattern mean?" Tao Niang asked.
"It's people's knowledge, thinking, and judgment of the world," Jian Lin said deliberately to make Tao Niang happy, "I'm not as good as you in these."
"Miss Ngabo is so humble..."
There were constant smiles in the boat canopy. Jian Lin's barrier was of no use to the Demon Lord. He listened quietly and smiled unconsciously. She talked so much.
When night falls again, the boat sails out of the mountains and reaches an open shoal. From a distance, we can see a flat river. This is the boundary of the human world.
The Demon Lord raised his hand to pay the spirit stone to the boatman. Jian Lin couldn't wait to jump down, looked at the lights in the distance, and said excitedly, "Is that the human world? Small mountain village, I'm in the human world!"
What does it mean to be in the human world? There are delicious food, fun things, no need to worry about strange magic, no need to worry about dying at any time, she has traveled through time, experienced life and death, and can finally relax!
"Don't get carried away!" Demon Lord warned, "We came out because we have business to do. Let me ask you, what is our relationship now?"
Oh, yes, after leaving the demon world, you can no longer be called Demon Lord.
