Chapter 1156
He reached out with his other hand, and an empty medicine bottle flew from the shelf nearby and landed in Su Xuan's hand. Su Xuan carefully put the Heavenly Star debris in his hand into the bottle.
After confirming that nothing was left behind, he handed the medicine bottle in his hand to Cui Wenzi.
Cui Wenzi received the medicine bottle as if it were a treasure and said to Su Xuan repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Su!"
Su Xuan said calmly: "It's nothing; I also want to know what the so-called elixir of immortality is all about. Remember, after the elixir is refined, send me a few pills; I want to study them."
Cui Wenzi nodded: "That is only right."
After all, without Su Xuan, he could not have so easily obtained the Heavenly Star debris, the most important material.
Having refined the immortality elixir, naturally, he had to give Su Xuan a portion.
The premise is that it can be refined.
After carefully putting away the medicine bottle containing the Heavenly Star debris, Cui Wenzi did not leave Su Xuan's place immediately to start refining the elixir but instead brought up another matter.
"By the way, Mr. Su, a friend of mine recently found me and wants to invite Mr. Su to go for a chat."
"Oh? Your friend, I wonder who he is?" Cui Wenzi asked with some curiosity.
Cui Wenzi said: "Because the cave where he lives in seclusion is located in the north, he calls himself the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock."
Mountain Dweller of the North Rock.
This is an extremely unfamiliar title, but Su Xuan thought for a moment and remembered who it was.
In the original work, when the Heavenly Star descended, Seeing Ying Zheng discovered the characteristics of the Heavenly Star and had Yi Xiaochuan, who was in charge of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, build a Heavenly Palace in the mausoleum; he wanted to make the entire palace float in the sky.
Just when Yi Xiaochuan was at his wit's end, Cui Wenzi mentioned his good friend, the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock, and subsequently, they came to the cave where the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock lived in seclusion. The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock seemed to know what Yi Xiaochuan was looking for, and in the cave, Yi Xiaochuan saw a blueprint, which was surprisingly the construction plan for the Heavenly Palace.
The Mountain Dweller of the North Rock seemed to have studied the Heavenly Star long ago and knew its characteristics; that blueprint perfectly utilized the characteristics of the Heavenly Star. Besides that, there was also a poem: "Parting from you, sit and think of where you went wrong; when the fate arrives, there will be a time to break the wall!"
At first, Yi Xiaochuan did not understand the meaning of this poem.
It was not until Seeing Ying Zheng decided to have the seven hundred thousand laborers who built the imperial mausoleum be buried with him that Yi Xiaochuan finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
This was the way of survival for the Heavenly Palace.
It was precisely with the help of this sentence that Yi Xiaochuan found the flaw in the imperial mausoleum and led the seven hundred thousand laborers who built the imperial mausoleum out, allowing them to survive.
Although the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock had never appeared in person, various signs undoubtedly indicated that he was not an ordinary person; he and the Master of Tangwu Mountain, who had never appeared, might be the same type of person.
At first, Su Xuan had actually guessed that this person was Cui Wenzi.
After all, in later generations, the saying "I have a friend" is quite popular, because one doesn't want to expose one's own special nature, so one uses the excuse of "I have a friend" to cover it up.
Just based on the fact that Cui Wenzi knew Yi Xiaochuan was at his wit's end about building the Heavenly Palace, knew the characteristics of the Heavenly Star, and the fact that the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock had not appeared, Cui Wenzi was very likely the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock.
But now, when Cui Wenzi said this, Su Xuan realized that he had overthought it.
At Su Xuan's level, distinguishing the truth from falsehood in what others say is not a difficult thing.
When Cui Wenzi said I have a friend, he was not lying.
This proves that there really is a so-called Mountain Dweller of the North Rock.
Even if the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock is extremely mysterious and did not appear in the original work, he is not Cui Wenzi.
"I know, if I have time, I will go see him."
After thinking about the information regarding the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock in his mind, Su Xuan answered Cui Wenzi's words.
Cui Wenzi nodded.
Although his friend had expressed an urgent desire to meet Su Xuan, the choice ultimately lay with Su Xuan; even if Su Xuan didn't want to see the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock, the other party could do nothing about it.
Now that Su Xuan had agreed to this matter, it was already giving him a lot of face.
Cui Wenzi also did not force Su Xuan to meet the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock immediately.
After Cui Wenzi left, Su Xuan thought about the matter of the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock again.
The reason he did not go to see the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock immediately was naturally because he had his considerations.
If the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock and the Master of Tangwu Mountain were the same type of person, it would mean the other party might be a chess player. Su Xuan's existence disrupted the plot, which undoubtedly messed up the chessboard, and no one could say for sure what would happen after meeting the Mountain Dweller of the North Rock.
Therefore, meeting the other party is possible, but not now; at least he had to wait until Su Xuan had studied the Heavenly Star thoroughly and until Cui Wenzi had refined the elixir of immortality.
