Lu Feng's mood was also very heavy at the moment. Since the old woman left, every moment he spent alone in the stone room was extremely painful.
He is not afraid of death, but the process of waiting to die is really uncomfortable.
Long wait.
The stone door was opened again.
Lu Feng was still thinking to himself that he had finally reached the end of his life, but he never thought that the person who came this time was not the old woman from before, but three or four girls who looked very young.
Everyone had a smile on their face, very innocent and innocent, and they didn't look like they were here to deliver the news of death.
This made Lu Feng a little stunned.
Is it because his death is such a happy event for them that they are so happy?
Or is it that you don't know the details, and you are just surprised because you come to see him as an outsider?
Lu Feng thought for a while.
The leading woman bowed slightly and said, "This young master, the high priest invites you."
Lu Feng was startled, and realized that the high priest the woman mentioned was probably the old woman he had seen before, and he immediately walked out.
The scene outside the stone room was completely different from what he had imagined.
Lu Feng originally thought that the Tianyu tribe lived in the Armyun Mountain, and the internal environment must be extremely desolate, with all rocks and mountains, but now, what appeared in his eyes was a vibrant mountain scene;
The entire space is also quite bright because of the lighting crystals embedded around it.
As far as the eye can see, there are thick vines attached to it, and the branches and leaves extending from them are as big as a quilt, which is very strange.
From the overall environment, it looks a bit like being inside a high mountain, with a very wide space and a view of development from top to bottom.
The stone chamber where Lu Feng was located was dug right below this space. When he walked out of the stone chamber, there was a huge dustpan-shaped object with two thick vines wrapped around it, extending upward.
At the signal of the leading woman, Lu Feng stepped onto this strange dustpan.
The next moment, as the leading woman exuded a soft and moist aura, the strange dustpan suddenly rose slowly and was lifted up by the two entangled vines.
Lu Feng calmed his mind, adapted to this strange situation, and finally took a moment to sense his own condition.
After leaving the restriction of the spirit thorns in the stone room, the spiritual energy in the body finally responded again.
Lu Feng eagerly sensed his soul disk and saw that the medicinal aura belonging to the old woman was lingering on his soul disk like a shackle, making it difficult for him to exert much strength.
Although his strength is still limited, there are advantages, that is, under the restriction of this aura, his soul disk, which is on the verge of being broken, has stabilized, enough to support him until he meets Ruoshui.
With the weak power that could be used, Lu Feng vaguely heard a few words of conversation between the women who were staying behind.
"I heard that my great-grandmother said that every time an outsider comes, they will perform that kind of ceremony. Will it be the same this time?"
The woman who spoke had rosy cheeks, as if she had applied sunburn.
Another woman smiled coquettishly and said: "I heard my great-grandmother say this. If there really is such a ceremony, have you decided which young man to choose?"
The shorter woman raised her head and stared blankly at Lu Feng, who was retreating in the sky, and said longingly: "He is so good-looking, I want to choose him."
The gentle woman next to him said timidly: "My great-grandmother said that it's not enough to just look good. You have to be physically strong. We should choose the burlier young man." The woman who spoke first pouted.
He opened his mouth and prayed: "Anyone can be assigned, as long as it's not that gray-haired old man, he looks very useless at first glance."
After hearing this, the two girls nearby also quickly started praying innocently, full of piety.
Lu Feng vaguely heard these words and felt confused for a while;
Could it be that the high priest wanted him to perform some rituals before his death?
In doubt, the strange dustpan stopped and climbed dozens of meters in height.
The leading woman once again spread a soft breath towards the vines on the dustpan;
Then, as if the dustpan was pushed to the shore by the waves, it stopped on the small stone terrace in front of the entrance of a high-altitude grotto.
"Go, the high priest and the others are waiting for you inside."
The woman made a gesture towards the stone staircase in front of her, indicating that she should move forward.
As Lu Feng stepped forward, he asked in surprise: "Besides the high priest, is there anyone else?"
The woman laughed flatly, ignored him, sat on the dustpan and left the high-rise cave.
Lu Feng walked into the grotto, and the space inside was much wider than he thought. There was a huge round stone table in the center, with seven seats on the sides;
In the center of the stone table stood a blue staff, with a sapphire as big as an ostrich egg embedded in it, exuding a rich vitality.
Hearing the sound of Lu Feng's arrival, a door suddenly opened on the other side of the grotto. Seven figures about the same age as the old woman Lu Feng had seen before slowly walked out. They were all wearing the same clothes as the old woman, and stood on the stone table one after another.
beside.
All of them exuded the terrifying aura at the level of the Heavenly Soul Realm.
Lu Feng looked at this scene in shock, as if he had never expected that the Tianyu Clan still had such a terrifying background to this day.
At this time, the blue staff standing in the center of the stone table suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light, and a figure gradually condensed in the light.
Hao Ran was the old woman Lu Feng had met.
The appearance of the old woman immediately caused the other seven old men to bow down and salute, saying in unison: ‘High Priest.
Lu Feng was shocked by this scene. He never thought that the high priest who had been in contact with him for so long would be the same existence as the ghost pavilion shadow.
The figure of the high priest appeared at the front of the stone table, with the other seven old men occupying the two wings;
Blue light poured on the high priest, and the atmosphere became solemn and solemn at this moment.
Lu Feng was about to ask in surprise.
The voice of the high priest came first: "Are you willing to join our clan?"
When the seven old men standing by heard this, their faces froze, and expressions of surprise flashed across their faces, but none of them spoke a word to refute.
Lu Feng was also very surprised and looked at the shadow suspiciously: "If I join your clan, will I not have to die? My companions will still be able to leave alive?"
The high priest smiled peacefully: "Since you have joined our clan, they will be our guests and will not be embarrassed. The things I promised you before will still be fulfilled."
Lu Feng was overjoyed, but did not show it. He knew that the change in attitude of the high priest would not be without reason. After thinking about it for a while, he asked, "But what happened to Ruoshui? Or maybe it was Beijingzhi."
What happened to the water?"
Lu Feng could only think of these two points. Only in this way might the people in front of him make their plans against him.
After all, if he refines the water of Northern Essence, then he should be able to achieve the functions that the five elements of pure water can play, or even better.
"Both of them are fine," the high priest said frankly with a serious look on his face: "It's just that now our Tianyu clan only relies on the five elements of pure water, so I'm afraid we still can't change the situation easily."
Lu Feng reminded: "Ruoshui's physique already has a chance to improve."
The high priest nodded: "Are you referring to the fact that she was sacrificed by the Five Elements Pure Fire Body? Although this opportunity is rare, it will do more harm than good to our clan and herself."
"What do you mean?" Lu Feng's heart tightened.
The high priest said: "Originally, our clan has a secret method to use the water of the Northern Essence to help improve the Five Elements pure water constitution, but now we need to help her refine the power of sacrifice first, and use a more dangerous hedging force to improve her constitution.
OK, given her frail body, this method cannot be accomplished overnight. It can take as short as three years, or as long as ten or eight years before the results can be seen."
Lu Feng frowned, he didn't have that much time to waste on this, and he couldn't bear to leave Ruoshui alone.
The high priest continued: "But if I choose you, it will be different. Since you can refine the other four types of profound qi, then the water of the Northern Essence may also be refined. Once the five qi are unified, you will be able to refine it immediately.
Play a role."
Lu Feng was not moved by the words of the high priest. Instead, his face became more serious and he asked bluntly: "If this is the case, if the water of Beijing is refined by me, how can the water be safe?"
The high priest was stunned, "Is this what you were worried about?"
A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he explained: "It was just to test your character, and the water of Northern Essence that I just threatened was not enough;"
"The remaining Northern Essence water in our clan is enough for you to refine and absorb, leaving behind the original power. Once you have absorbed it, it will be more than enough to enhance the Saintess's physique."
After Lu Feng heard this, his frowning eyebrows relaxed a little, and he quietly put back the suicide note written to Jiang Ruoyun hidden in his sleeve.
Judging from the current situation, there should be no need for such a suicide note.
If Xuying was just a test before, the two letters that were taken away probably wouldn't have reached Tang Yuan's hands. They must have been opened and read.
Thinking of the slightly cheesy last words in those two letters and such an ending, Lu Feng felt relieved;
If the person was not dead and the letter was delivered, his old face would be somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing Lu Feng in a daze, the high priest spoke slowly and solemnly, with a hint of warning:
"You should know that I am not begging you to refine, but giving you a choice. Although our clan needs to borrow the power of the Northern Essence Water, we have survived these years, and we are not in a hurry for this moment.
moment; but you are different, if you do not refine this profound energy in time, your soul disk will be shattered when the breath I gave you dissipates."
Lu Feng was startled, and suddenly realized that the pill he had swallowed earlier was mainly for this effect.
At that moment, he bowed his hands to the high priest and made a thank you gift.
He asked respectfully: "I don't know, what are the restrictions on becoming a noble? In other words, what do nobles need to borrow the power of the Northern Essence Water for?"
Although he didn't have much choice now, Lu Feng still thought it would be better to ask clearly. If it was difficult to leave here after joining, he might as well fake his death in advance so that Jiang Ruoyun and others could bear to leave.
Thinking of this, the figure of Lantian Yiqi appeared in Lu Feng's mind inexplicably, and details emerged one after another, making his eyes gradually gain a hint of depth.
If Lantian Yiqi was in the same situation as him and had difficulty getting out, could he also be deceived by pretending to be dead?
Everything is just so that he can leave without any worries?
