#235 - Chapter 235: The Path to Immortality is Long and the Ancient Trees Have Spirits
Li Ergou only felt a darkness before his eyes, and then a space the size of three rooms appeared in front of him. He could see that it was full of wood, and a unique woody fragrance emanated, making people feel refreshed and energetic when they inhaled it.
The strangest thing was that there were countless blood vessel-like tubes embedded in the wood, some as thick as fists, and he could see green liquid flowing inside them.
At this moment, Li Ergou guessed that he should have arrived inside the body of the old locust tree. What surprised him was, could this old locust tree really be alive?
Did it also have blood vessels and muscles like a human being, and the liquid flowing in those tubes was its blood? Astonishing, utterly astonishing.
Before he could think more, he saw an old man with white hair and a white beard sitting cross-legged in the middle of the tree hole.
This man had a celestial air and a scholarly demeanor, like a living immortal.
If Li Ergou wasn't mistaken, this person was the tree spirit of this old locust tree.
At this moment, the old man slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Li Ergou, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said, "Oh, it's actually such a weak little guy. This Divine Demon Cave Heaven is the battlefield where gods and demons fell, extremely dangerous. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Li Ergou gave a wry smile and said, "Afraid, but what can I do if I'm afraid?"
The old man shook his head slightly and said, "When people get old, they like to be nosy. Those who can come here are all ruthless people, one in a million.
But even if you are powerful, you still have to pay the fee. It's ten Dao-Hidden Coins per person."
Li Ergou was slightly surprised, not expecting there to be an entrance fee here. This fee was not low, and it even required Dao-Hidden Coins. He felt a little heartache, but he still honestly took out ten Dao-Hidden Coins.
The old man glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said, "Boy, you are not honest. You clearly have two people, but you only want to pay for one person. I thought you looked honest, but you are very cunning inside?"
Li Ergou was slightly stunned, not expecting this old man to be so discerning and so powerful.
In surprise, he couldn't help but ask, "You can even see this?"
The old man snorted coldly and said, "How can such a small trick escape my eyes? However, this is the first time I've seen a guy with such a low cultivation level like you enter this place.
And that guy in your arms is quite powerful. I'm just curious, why did he enter this place using a blood sacrifice technique? This kid has no small ambitions.
Could it be that he wants to put himself in a life-or-death situation and then be reborn? Little guy, why be so cruel to yourself? The road to immortality is long and cannot be achieved overnight. In the end, you will only harm yourself."
Ji Wuming couldn't help but say through the blood bead, "Senior, I naturally have my difficulties, and I hope Senior can help me and let me in."
The old man snorted and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm honest here. As long as you pay the money, anyone can enter. However, I still have to tell you my rules.
No matter what good things you get from inside, I will take 30% of them. Think carefully. If you don't agree, leave immediately. If you agree, hand over your storage bags.
Before that, I need to check your storage bags to know what's inside, otherwise, there will be misunderstandings when you come out."
What was there to disagree with? Li Ergou immediately nodded and handed over his storage bag to the old man. In fact, there was nothing good in his storage bag, just some food, a few hundred eggs, some loose silver, and some miscellaneous food.
All the good things were put into the bronze mirror.
In fact, he was a little worried at the moment, lest the old man see the difference in the bronze mirror.
The old man took Li Ergou's storage bag, looked at it, and his face changed slightly. He said dumbfounded, "Stinky boy, have you never eaten anything? Why put so much food in this storage bag?
Also, why are you so poor? Did you hide all the good things?"
Li Ergou was a little flustered in his heart, but he didn't show it at all. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Senior, I'm just relatively poor. I'm a wild cultivator, without a master, without a sect, there's no way."
The old man snorted and said, "I've seen too many people like you. You are glib and don't look like a good bird. You want to deceive me, how can it be so easy? Let me take a look."
A divine light shot out from his eyes and shone towards Li Ergou. Li Ergou only felt as if he had been stripped naked, with no privacy at all.
The old man's divine light swept over his body, and then he retracted it and said, "What a poor wretch, but you little guy is very interesting. With such rotten roots, you can actually cultivate both the body and the law. Could it be that you ate some peerless medicine? It's really strange."
Li Ergou was shocked. This old man was really powerful. He knew his situation with a sweep of his divine light. But what surprised him even more was that even this old man couldn't see through the bronze mirror's uniqueness. In that case, this bronze mirror was really weird enough.
Of course, this was the best. Otherwise, who knew if this guy would be tempted by wealth.
He didn't think too much, and immediately smiled and said, "It's all because I have good luck. I got a few heaven-defying opportunities back then."
The old man didn't say any more. Perhaps he had seen too many unique things and didn't care too much. Instead, he directly threw the storage bag back to Li Ergou and said meaningfully, "Little guy, you still need to work hard."
Li Ergou hurriedly said, "Okay, Senior, I will definitely work hard, but when will you send us in?"
The old man didn't speak, but with a thought, a thumb-sized, emerald green crystal and a mask floated in front of Li Ergou.
He then said, "This crystal is condensed from my mana. Once you want to come out, just crush it, and it will naturally bring you out.
This mask can isolate any divine sense. As long as you wear this, others will not only not see your face, but also will not be able to窥探your cultivation.
You must know that there are many powerful figures coming and going in the Divine Demon Cave Heaven. Once you provoke them, you will not be able to bear it. That's why we specially refined this thing to prevent those with weak cultivation from being killed on the spot.
You must keep these two things safe, they are life-saving things."
Li Ergou was surprised and said, "May I ask Senior, are there many people coming here? Why don't I know? Also, you said my cultivation is weak, I don't know, what are the cultivations of those people?"
The old man was not annoyed or angry, but slowly said, "It seems that your senior didn't tell you some useful things. Normally speaking, the lowest cultivation level to enter the Divine Demon Cave Heaven is around the Nascent Soul stage.
With a cultivation level like yours, in other places, neither the elders of your family nor the sect would allow you to enter it. The most important thing is that it is a life-and-death situation here. With your weak cultivation, entering it is almost a ten-death-no-life ending.
And this Divine Demon Cave Heaven has many entrances, and they are distributed in many big cities. Here in Fish City, there is only my place. In recent years, very few people have entered it.
Alas, after all, it is not the same as it was ten thousand years ago. Back then, it was truly an era of geniuses, and powerful people emerged endlessly like carps crossing the river.
It's a pity, a pity, each generation is more useless than the last. Over the years, very few people have been able to enter it. When people get old, they like to ramble. Okay, I have told you almost everything, you should hurry up and enter it."
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the yin-yang fish pattern in front of him and asked Li Ergou to stand in it.
At this moment, after hearing the old man's words, Li Ergou's heart was really turbulent, not expecting this place to be like this.
But before he could think more, he saw the old man pointing at the yin-yang fish pattern, and the yin-yang fish instantly shone brightly. Li Ergou's body was submerged in the light, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Ergou only felt a darkness and a light in front of his eyes, and what came into view was a world that made him widen his eyes, an unimaginable world.
