Chapter 586 Tortoise Shell
Longhu Mountain, the secret realm of Yannian, this is Zhuang Yuan's cave.

"You Daoyou Nie, are you still used to living here?"

Sitting on the main seat, looking at Nie Renxiong who came to visit, Zhuang Yuan's face was full of smiles.

During this period of time, he was cultivating in the cave, because of the many resources provided by Longhu Mountain, and the seventh-rank Yangshen Pill bestowed by Zhang Chunyi, his injuries have already healed.

Hearing this, Nie Renxiong bowed solemnly.

"Nie, thank you fellow daoist."

During this period of time, due to the injuries of himself and the mountain turtle, Nie Renxiong was invited by Zhuang Yuan to live temporarily in Longhushan. During this period, he enjoyed many preferential treatments, including some healing medicines. Nie Renxiong understood why Longhushan treated him like this , the biggest reason is because of Zhuang Yuan.

"Friend Daoist, it doesn't have to be like this between you and me."

As he spoke, Zhuang Yuan helped Nie Renxiong up, and at this moment a palm-sized tortoise appeared on Nie Renxiong's shoulder.

Its color is gray and white, and the back of the turtle is arched like a ridge, revealing a kind of silent thickness, and the evil spirit around it is hidden but not obvious, only a little cold and ghostly spirit never dissipates.

"This is a piece of tortoise shell that the old man got by accident. I don't know the exact origin. The only thing I can be sure of is that it can cleanse the blood of the demon turtle and promote the transformation of the bones of the demon turtle. Now it is of no great use to me. , I will give it to you as a reward for your life-saving grace, "

The eyelids were lifted, the eyes were opened, the eyes were dark yellow, full of vicissitudes, at this moment, the tortoise from the mountain uttered words, and then a piece of tortoise shell the size of a palm and the color of topaz fell straight into Zhuang Yuan's hands.

"This···"

With a stunned expression, Zhuang Yuan wanted to return the tortoise shell, but at this time the negative mountain tortoise had fallen into a deep sleep again. The old injury had not healed, and a new injury had been added. Although it had been recuperating for a while, its injury was far from healed.

"You Daoist Nie, this item is too expensive for me to accept, and I have never felt that you owe me anything."

Turning his eyes to Nie Renxiong, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn, Zhuang Yuan wanted to return the tortoise shell in his hand.

Although he did not sense the extraordinaryness of this tortoise shell, according to what the negative mountain tortoise said, it is definitely a treasure, and at this moment, when he sensed something, the figure of the long-lived tortoise quietly appeared, looking at the bright yellow The jade-like tortoise shell, its mung bean eyes are full of longing.

At this moment, the green fur on its back was dyed a little black, showing that it was very excited.

Sensing the change in the Longevity Turtle, Zhuang Yuan was quite surprised, he had never seen a Longevity Turtle like this, but this did not make him change his decision.

Seeing such a scene, he took a step back, Nie Renxiong bowed solemnly, and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Friend Zhuang Daoist, this thing is really extraordinary, but this is my joint repayment with Uncle."

"I am the same as Uncle. Since I was a child, I have believed in repaying all kindness. If you don't accept this thing, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to treat you as a Taoist friend and get along with you on an equal footing."

Faced with Zhuang Yuan's rejection, Nie Renxiong confides his sincere feelings.

No matter what the cause of the incident was, it was a fact that Zhuang Yuan saved his life and that of the Bearing Mountain Turtle. Without Zhuang Yuan, he and the Bearing Mountain Turtle would surely have died.

Hearing this, feeling Nie Renxiong's firm will, and thinking about Nie Renxiong's past, he let out a sigh, and Zhuang Yuan put away the bright yellow tortoise shell in his hand.

At the beginning, Nie Renxiong saved the injured mountain tortoise with kindness, and then the tortoise led him into the Tao and protected him, which shows his temperament.

Seeing such a scene, Nie Renxiong Zaohong finally showed a smile from the heart. If Zhuang Yuan refused to accept this thing, then he would always feel that he owed Zhuang Yuan and it would be difficult to treat each other as equals.

The calm atmosphere dissipated, and after Zhuang Yuan took the tortoise shell, the atmosphere in the cave became much more harmonious.

"Fellow Daoist, I came here this time to thank you, and to bid farewell to you."

After tasting the spirit wine collected by Zhuang Yuan, Nie Renxiong expressed his purpose without restraint.

Hearing this, Zhuang Yuan frowned slightly.

"Fellow Taoist, do you want to go there? Back to the mountain city? Because of the ghosts, it has been sealed off, and the residents inside have been moved to other places."

Looking at Nie Renxiong, Zhuang Yuan asked.

Nie Renxiong used to hide in the backing mountain city, one is to make it easier for the mountain tortoise to absorb the earth energy of Mount Tai to recover from his injuries, and the other is because the mountain tortoise carries a secret realm on its back, and the nourishment of the earth energy can grow better and help him practice , but now all of this has become empty, and the secret realm has been smashed to pieces in the process of fleeing.

Hearing this, Nie Renxiong showed a hint of confusion on his rough face, and now he seems to be really homeless.

"For now, I haven't decided where to go, but the world is so big, where can't I find shelter?"

Pretending to be free and easy, Nie Renxiong drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing such a scene, Zhuang Yuan knew it in his heart.

"Brother Nie, what do you think of Longhu Mountain?"

"Naturally, it is a treasure land of the Immortal Family. Although I have practiced for nearly 200 years, this is the first time I have seen such a place..."

Hearing this, Nie Renxiong gave his own answer, and he was not stingy with his praise. This was not flattery, but what he said in his heart, but after talking, he understood something, and Nie Renxiong turned his attention to Zhuang Yuan.

Facing Nie Renxiong's gaze, Zhuang Yuan smiled all over his face.

"Brother Nie, I know you don't like to be restrained. I have a position of enshrined in Longhu Mountain. You can use your own ability to exchange for the resources you want from the sect, and you won't be restricted too much because of this. Besides, I Spirit Flowers and Spirit Grass are the most abundant in Longhu Mountain, Brother Nie likes to make wine, maybe he can make good wine from it."

The words were full of sincerity, Zhuang Yuan said, he sincerely hoped that Nie Renxiong could stay, one is because Nie Renxiong himself is a capable person, useful to Longhushan, and the other is because the life of casual cultivators is mostly difficult, he does not I hope Nie Renxiong will be wasted because of this.

Although the negative mountain tortoise is the demon king, there is still a limit to what it can help Nie Renxiong, such as the guidance and resources to break through the level of Taoism.

Hearing this, Nie Renxiong fell silent. He knew that Zhuang Yuan had good intentions, but he still couldn't accept it for a while.

"Zhuang Daoyou, I..."

Looking at Zhuang Yuan, Nie Renxiong wanted to say something, but before he finished speaking, Zhuang Yuan interrupted.

"Fellow Daoist, I know you have scruples, you can try it for a while, if it doesn't suit you, just go, then I will never stop you."

"To be honest, you should know something about the situation of Longhushan and Daomeng. My Daomeng has just entered Taizhou, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. It is the time when talents are needed. I hope that Daoist friends will become guest ministers of Longhushan. I have selfish intentions, but I know that apart from first-hand wine brewing, Fellow Daoists are also very good at earth masters, and this is what our Longhu Mountain lacks the most right now."

As he spoke, Zhuang Yuan had a slight smile on his face.

Hearing this, although he knew that Zhuang Yuan said it on purpose so as not to make him feel he was taking advantage, Nie Renxiong still felt much less entangled.

To be honest, if it was him, he wouldn't have to think about it that much at all, but he still needs to think about the injured mountain tortoise, as far as Longhu Mountain is actually the best place for it to cultivate.

"In that case, I will trouble fellow daoists a lot in the future, and I respect you with this cup!"

With a decision in mind, Nie Renxiong raised the wine glass in his hand without further entanglement.

Clinking glasses, the two looked at each other and smiled.
