Chapter 2303
Sacred Source Liquid was also known as ability source liquid. It was a unique product of this world and was very different from the source liquids produced on other planets.
It was the most basic and important thing in this world and was the goal that many people pursued.
But at the same time, too many people might not even obtain a single drop from the moment they came to this world.
That drop of Sacred Source Fluid had attracted everyone's attention. Compared to it, Xiang Xuan's looks didn't seem as attractive anymore.
"This is too valuable. I can't accept it!"
Zi Chen took in everyone's expressions and shook his head in refusal.
One could not accept a reward without doing anything, let alone something so valuable.
"Take it, we won't lose out. We can still exchange for two more drops if we go back and deal with this wolf.
If you hadn't stopped it, we wouldn't have gotten a single drop. "
Seeing that Zi Chen still had the intention to refuse, Xiang Xuan said unhappily, "How can a man be so wishy-washy? Hurry up and take it. It's not like it's a big deal."
Since Xiang Xuan had already spoken, Zi Chen naturally wouldn't be able to justify himself if he continued to refuse.
He chuckled and accepted it.
"Isn't that right?"
Xiang Xuan looked at Zi Chen and smiled. "Actually, we don't have any good intentions. After you've tasted the sweetness, you'll definitely not forget the Sacred Source Liquid. When the time comes, you'll have to join our team and we'll hunt together."
Xiang Xuan's words were half an invitation and half an attempt to resolve Zi Chen's awkwardness.
Zi Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it. I almost died earlier. I don't have the strength to walk in the dark."
"You don't have the strength, but you have the equipment. If you're willing to become a hunter, we can provide the equipment.
It's actually very simple. You only need a set of special clothes to block the divine mosquitoes and ants in the dark. "
Xiu Qi looked at Zi Chen, who was still holding the drop of Sacred Source Liquid, and said, "This thing doesn't need to be refined. You just need to swallow it. You can do it now."
Zi Chen nodded and swallowed the Sacred Source Liquid.
As he swallowed, he clearly heard the sound of saliva being swallowed from all around him.
As the drop of Sacred Origin Fluid entered his stomach, Zi Chen felt a familiar energy appear in his stomach. This energy seemed to be full of life, and after appearing, it extended towards his limbs and bones.
Just like how natural treasures tempered one's body in the outside world, or how the Rainbow Sacred Tree strengthened Zi Chen's body, this drop of Sacred Origin Fluid also strengthened Zi Chen's body. However, it didn't require a cultivation technique to perfectly enhance the overall strength of his body.
"All abilities originate from the body. Only a powerful body can stimulate the emergence of abilities." Seeing Zi Chen's slightly puzzled expression, Xiu Qi took the initiative to explain.
Zi Chen could understand this explanation.
Perhaps this was the reason why the Jiatu Family's five quotas all required a Saint level physical body.
With the drop of Sacred Source Liquid gone, everyone looked at Zi Chen with envy and some resentment. Of course, it was inevitable that they were taking pleasure in his misfortune.
Although it was common knowledge that a drop of Sacred Source Liquid couldn't awaken abilities, Zi Chen's failure still made everyone feel that he had wasted the drop.
Perhaps this was the only way to make them feel a little better.
The waiter had prepared some food and wine, and there was even rare meat among them. For Zi Chen, who had come to this world, this could be considered really high-class food.
The quality of the wine was also pretty good. At the very least, it was much smoother than what the old man usually drank.
The five ability users ate and drank in front of everyone. Gato Kelo brought Gato and Huangtu back into the room. It was clear that he really didn't want to have anything to do with Zi Chen.
They drank until the next day, when the sky was bright, but the five of them still didn't change their expressions. Even Xiang Xuan was a heroine.
"Here, alcohol tolerance represents strength. Zi Chen, you're really strong!"
In fact, alcohol tolerance represented physical strength. When Zi Chen came here, his physical body had already entered the Saint level, and was stronger than many Saint Kings.
This was also the reason why he could kill Saint Kings with his broken blade after coming to this world.
After Xiu Qi paid the bill, the group of five left the inn and headed for Sohui Town.
There weren't any more twists and turns along the way. When they were about to reach the town, the alcohol from the previous night had dissipated, and they were extremely sober.
"Let's go and find Old Fart Wei!"
Tang Pu, who was holding the puppet snake for Zi Chen, said as they walked to the town's gate.
From the outside, the town looked like a small city. It was surrounded by tall stone walls. In Tang Pu's words, these walls were to prevent pseudo-divine beasts from suddenly attacking the town at night.
The old man had come to Sohui Town before, but not many times. As for why he didn't stay here, Zi Chen had asked him before, but the old man hadn't said anything.
After arriving at the town today, Zi Chen finally understood.
In this place, there were many people with abilities. Although they were far from the point where they could walk everywhere, they could casually walk for a while and see one or several ability users.
Living with these ability users would undoubtedly cause one to be on tenterhooks. How could it be more comfortable than living in a small mountain village.
There was only one entrance to the town. After entering, they would go deeper into the town.
In this town, Old Fart Wei had his own shop, but the area was extremely small. Outside the shop, there were some black iron and a few weapons that didn't seem to be very popular.
"Old Fart Wei, this time we went out, we brought back a friend for you." Seeing the blacksmith shop from afar, Tang Pu shouted.
This place was relatively remote, and was only suitable for people to live in, but not for a shop.
Compared to the shops on the road, Old Fart Wei's shop was really not ostentatious. He believed that the business would not be good.
"This old man has no friends."
An old voice came from the blacksmith shop, followed by the sound of forging.
"You didn't before, but now you definitely do.
His name is Zi Chen, and he specially came to find you. Quickly come out and take a look. "
Tang Pu shouted towards the blacksmith shop, turned his head and said to Zi Chen: "Zi Chen, don't go in, it's dirty and messy inside. After greeting Old Fart Wei, you can stay with us.
Our place is clean and spacious. "
"That's right, Zi Chen, this Old Fart Wei is good in every way, but he is too lazy.
If he was more diligent, he wouldn't have to force himself to live. "Xiang Xuan said with a smile." Old man, quickly come out.
Otherwise, I will smash your shop. "
The sound of forging suddenly stopped, and the old voice came out from the blacksmith shop again. "Don't, this old man's shop, there is nothing valuable left."
Zi Chen saw an old man wearing a coarse robe, who was not as sturdy as the other blacksmiths, come out from the blacksmith shop.
After the other party appeared, his gaze fell on Zi Chen, and said: "You came to find me?"
"Yes."
Zi Chen nodded, and was about to explain his purpose, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Old Fart Wei's voice. "It was Old Fart Zhan who asked you to come, is he still alive?"
"His old body is still very healthy." Zi Chen knew that Old Fart Zhan was that old man, and his surname was Zhan Wu.
"What did he ask you to come here for, to trade?" Old Fart Wei sized up Zi Chen.
"He hoped that I would stay here to learn from you for a period of time."
"Oh, come with me then."
Old Fart Wei did not speak much, and did not ask anything else. He turned and walked towards the blacksmith shop, and Zi Chen could only follow behind.
Tang Pu passed the puppet snake to Zi Chen, and Zi Chen carried the bamboo basket, and prepared to follow with the puppet snake.
"You are a puppet master?" Old Fart Wei asked without turning his head.
"No, this is …"
Without waiting for Zi Chen to say that it was for sale, Old Fart Wei interrupted him, and said: "If not, then deal with it. The room is too small, and cannot hold these useless things."
Zi Chen turned his head, and looked at the few of them for help.
"Leave it to me, it's easy to deal with it." Tang Pu smiled at Zi Chen, and volunteered to take it over.
Zi Chen smiled gratefully, and turned to enter the blacksmith shop.
Entering the blacksmith shop, the first thing that entered his eyes were all black iron grade ores, and occasionally, he could see some iron ingots, and a few semi-finished products. As for the real weapons, Zi Chen did not even see a single one.
The room was low, and there was not enough light. After entering, the furnace emitted a high temperature, causing the air to be filled with a dry and dry feeling.
"Put the things there, and you will be in charge of forging in the future." Old Fart Wei pointed to an empty corner and said.
Zi Chen put down the bamboo basket, and then poured out all the black iron, revealing the Holy Black Crystal wrapped in a coarse cloth at the bottom.
After that, he untied the cloth, revealing the Holy Black Crystal.
In this dark room, there was suddenly a bright light, and it was so black that it was shining.
The expressionless Old Fart Wei, upon seeing the Holy Black Crystal, revealed a look of surprise. Such a big piece of Holy Black Crystal was very rare. He nodded and said: "It's not bad, do you plan to sell it, or keep it for when you are familiar with it, to forge a weapon for yourself?"
Zi Chen was hesitant, because he was not sure of the price of the Holy Black Crystal.
"Then keep it first, these black iron can still be used for a period of time."
Looking at the hesitant Zi Chen, Old Fart Wei had already decided for him. He looked at Zi Chen and said: "From now on, you will stay here to forge, and take care of your food and lodging.
Don't worry about anything else, and when you are done, you can leave. This old man will not force you.
However, if you can't complete this old man's request, then take your things and get lost. "
"Many thanks to senior for taking me in!" Zi Chen cupped his fists and thanked him gratefully.
"Whether you thank me or not, we can talk about it later. Now, go and tell those people outside that you can't leave for a while, and don't let them wait."
"Yes!"
Zi Chen walked out of the blacksmith shop and told the four of them about the old man's arrangement. For a moment, the four of them were very disappointed.
However, they did not force Zi Chen, and told Zi Chen that he could look for them when he was free.
"This should be able to exchange for two to three drops of Saint Origin Liquid. Once it's done, I will give it to you."
Tang Pu waved the puppet snake in his hand at Zi Chen, and left with Xiang Xuan and the rest.
