Chapter 418

"Can you explain the situation of this pill in detail, as well as any side effects?"

Old Man Water forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart and finally moved his gaze away.

He was very calm and did not lose his reason because of this pill. The more heaven-defying the pill, the greater the restrictions. He dared not take it rashly without understanding it clearly.

"This pill is called the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill. It can create a physical body out of thin air. This physical body is the incarnation of a spirit medicine and is extremely afraid of fire."

"Those who swallow this pill will be left with a lifelong weakness of being afraid of fire. Apart from this, there are no other drawbacks."

After Long Xuan finished speaking, Old Man Water said impatiently: "Such side effects are acceptable. I just won't provoke fire-attribute Gu cultivators of the same rank in the future."

"Then how does the physical body created by this pill compare to my original physical body? And what about the compatibility?"

Long Xuan answered truthfully: "The compatibility is naturally perfect. This pill has two modes. The first is to swallow it directly, and the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill will directly restore the swallower's previous body."

"The second mode is heaven-defying. You can freely choose the aptitude, attribute, appearance, body shape..."

"And no matter how you choose, the compatibility between this shell and your soul is perfect."

"However, I suggest you choose the first mode, swallow the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill directly, and restore the exact same body you had before you died."

"Limited by the grade of the pill, the second mode has great limitations. I'm afraid the top-tier aptitude cannot be chosen."

"In addition, no matter how you choose, the body obtained cannot be at the peak Gu King realm. You must cultivate from the beginning."

"But if you cultivate from the beginning, you will have no bottlenecks. As long as the resources are sufficient, it won't take many years to restore your original realm."

Hearing this, Old Man Water's shock did not diminish. The fact that the second mode of the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill could freely choose what kind of shell to create was simply heaven-defying.

Then what if he created a two-meter-tall giant? The appearance should be the world's most handsome, and he should be young, only eighteen years old, with a large tool and good skills.

His original body was old and ugly, and he despised it immensely.

Old Man Water revealed a conflicted look.

Every advantage has a disadvantage. Although the aptitude of the original body was top-tier, it was ultimately too old and decayed.

And although choosing a new body could allow him to have a young and strong body, limited by the grade of the pill, the top-tier aptitude could not be freely chosen. This was truly a headache, giving him a choice-conflict syndrome.

Finally, Old Man Water raised his head and asked again:

"Can your Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill freely choose a special physique? Can my Heavenly Water Body be created out of thin air?"

Long Xuan shook his head and replied: "If it were a Twelfth-Grade Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill, everything could be freely chosen, including various heaven-defying aptitudes in the top ten."

"But this is a Fourth-Grade Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill. Freely choosing a special aptitude is definitely not possible."

"If even a special physique could be freely chosen, then what would be summoned would be far from just the Reincarnation Thunder."

Hearing that a special physique could not be freely chosen, Old Man Water revealed a look of disappointment and sighed: "Since that's the case, there's nothing to be conflicted about. I choose the first mode, restore my original body."

"Aptitude is the most important thing. So what if the original body is old? It's old."

Long Xuan nodded. This was also his suggestion. If it were a cultivation waste, then choosing the second mode would maximize the benefits.

If it were a top-tier aptitude like Old Man Water's, which was rare in the world, then choosing the first mode would maximize the benefits. There was nothing to be conflicted about.

"I can give you the Bone-Mending Blood-Melting Pill at any time, then my Heavenly Water..."

As soon as Long Xuan finished speaking, Old Man Water immediately said: "I can also give you the Heavenly Water at any time, but you are only a Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator; it is impossible for you to subdue the Heavenly Water."

"Even I was almost killed by the Heavenly Water. Do you think you, a tiny Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator, have the ability to subdue the Heavenly Water?"

"Don't say I don't keep my word. If I release the Heavenly Water seed now, you will be killed by the Heavenly Water directly."

Old Man Water looked at Long Xuan with a serious expression, not as if he were joking.

Hearing this, Long Xuan frowned. What Old Man Water said was not false. He truly didn't have the ability to subdue the Heavenly Water now. Did he have to wait until he reached the Gu King realm before coming back? Who knows how long he would have to wait.

Old Man Water pondered for a moment and then said: "I'll give you two choices now. First, whenever you break through to the Gu King realm, come back to me to ask for the Heavenly Water."

"Second, we make another deal. You take action to kill Shui Wuqing. In exchange, I will assist you in swallowing the Heavenly Water. I am very familiar with this Heavenly Water. With my help, you are very likely to succeed in subduing the Heavenly Water."

"Other Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivators could never subdue the Heavenly Water no matter what, but you are different. I can see that you have an undying body."

"Since you can subdue Heavenly Fire at the Spirit Sea Stage, then with my help, it shouldn't be a difficult task for you to subdue Heavenly Water at the Spirit Sea Stage."

"Of course, if you want to subdue the Heavenly Water at the Spirit Sea Stage, you must have my help. You can never succeed in subduing the Heavenly Water by your own strength."

"The Heavenly Fire seed you accidentally swallowed is a remnant seed. Its power is far too much weaker than my Heavenly Water."

Facing Old Man Water knowing that he had Heavenly Fire, Long Xuan didn't feel surprised. Heavenly Fire and Heavenly Water repel each other. When they meet at close range, they will be sensed by each other.

He had just sensed the power of the Heavenly Water, so it naturally wouldn't be difficult for Old Man Water to sense that he had Heavenly Fire on him.

Long Xuan shook his head helplessly: "Please, I am only a Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator. It is only possible to kill Shui Wuqing when I reach the Gu King realm."

"And after I become a Gu King, I can just choose the first option. I can subdue the Heavenly Water by my own strength after I become a Gu King. Why would I need to kill Shui Wuqing for you again?"

Old Man Water raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I know that it is impossible for you to kill Shui Wuqing at your current realm. In one year, the He Clan of the Huiyue Empire will hold a Tea Tasting Assembly and a Wine Tasting Assembly at the same time."

"These two assemblies have Wine Sacrifice activities and Tea Sacrifice activities. The two activities will select the best wine and tea, and then offer them to the two River Gods in the Bore River."

"One of the two River Gods likes wine, and the other likes tea. As long as the quality of the wine and tea is high enough to satisfy both River Gods at the same time, the River God Secret Realm can be opened. Otherwise, if either River God is dissatisfied, the opportunity to open the River God Secret Realm will be missed."

"The River God Secret Realm is full of treasures. The number of treasures will vary according to the quality of the tea and wine. As long as the River God Secret Realm is opened, all Gu cultivators participating in the wine and tea parties will go in to search for treasures."

"Although the River God Secret Realm has no realm restrictions, it will suppress the Gu King's realm to the Spirit Sea Stage, including the Gu worms on the Gu King, which will also unconditionally drop by one level."

"Once the Gu King and the Gu worms on him are downgraded together, he will be no stronger than a Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator."

Hearing this, although Old Man Water hadn't finished speaking, Long Xuan already understood his meaning. It was not hard to guess that Shui Wuqing would likely go to this River God Secret Realm. Once Shui Wuqing's realm was suppressed by the River God Secret Realm, it would truly be a good opportunity to kill him.

"But how can you be sure that Shui Wuqing will definitely go to that River God Secret Realm? What if he doesn't go?" Long Xuan asked immediately.

Old Man Water looked at him and said decisively: "He will definitely go."

"The Shui Clan likes everything related to water. There are many fine wines and teas treasured in the clan. Shui Clan Gu cultivators also like refining Wine Gu and Tea Gu the most. Shui Wuqing is a master of tea and wine. He will definitely not miss such a grand event."

"As long as the River God Secret Realm is opened, he will definitely go in."

"In the River God Secret Realm, his realm and Gu worms will be downgraded. This is the perfect opportunity to kill him."

Old Man Water's fierce light was exposed, his killing intent released without concealment, and he said viciously: "In one year, without any bottlenecks, I will have enough to recover to the Spirit Sea Stage realm."

"In the secret realm, we will be at the same realm. With the two of us joining forces, Shui Wuqing will have no possibility of survival." Old Man Water clenched his fists.

Long Xuan glanced at him, his eyes lost in thought.

Whether Shui Wuqing dies or not is not important to him, but he truly has no small interest in this tea party that Old Man Water mentioned. He had just decided to refine Tea Gu, and never expected that a Tea Tasting Assembly would coincidentally appear.

Listening to Old Man Water, the higher the quality of the tea offered, the more likely the River God Secret Realm will be opened, and the treasures in the secret realm will also vary according to the quality of the tea.

In this way, everyone participating in the Tea Tasting Assembly will carry the best tea. This Tea Tasting Assembly will gather countless good teas.

Premium good teas that are rare to see in a hundred years in the outside world might appear here.

The refining process of Tea Gu is for Tea Worms to swallow different spirit tea combinations and transform into Tea Gu with different abilities.

Collecting good teas of different varieties is the key to refining Tea Gu, and there is no place more suitable for collecting good teas than the Tea Tasting Assembly.

Long Xuan immediately decided that regardless of whether he agreed to Old Man Water's conditions or not, he was going to this Tea Tasting Assembly for sure.

"I can join forces with you to deal with Shui Wuqing in the secret realm, but I have two conditions." Long Xuan looked at Old Man Water with a serious expression.

"Speak!" Old Man Water smiled.

"First, you must help me successfully subdue the Heavenly Water first. Second, I will only join forces with you to deal with Shui Wuqing when there is no risk."

"If I feel there is a risk in the process, or if an unexpected change occurs, I will withdraw at any time." Long Xuan said.

His deal was considered unfair. Old Man Water had to help him subdue the Heavenly Water first, and then help Old Man Water ambush Shui Wuqing after the River God Secret Realm opened in a year.

Not to mention whether he would keep his promise halfway, even if he really encountered Shui Wuqing, he could choose to take action or not. Whether there was a risk or not would be decided by him anyway.

I don't know if Old Man Water would agree to this unequal condition.

Old Man Water smiled: "This is natural. If there is danger and you withdraw halfway, that is also human nature. If I were you, I would make the same choice."

"However, rest assured, no one knows Shui Wuqing better than I do. You only have one life. If I didn't have full confidence, how could I take action?"

"I agree to all your conditions. If you don't need any preparation, I can help you subdue the Heavenly Water now."

The smile on Old Man Water's face became wider and wider. He was not a stupid person; how could he not know that these two conditions were unfair to him?

But he had his own calculations. Owners of heavy water can sense each other. As long as he gives the One Yuan Heavy Water to someone else, then after Shui Wuqing senses the One Yuan Heavy Water, in order to complete the heavy water, he will definitely take action against the person who possesses the One Yuan Heavy Water.

At that time, whether he wants to see the situation before deciding whether to take action or not will not be up to him. Old Man Water secretly smiled in his heart. (End of chapter)
