Taoist Master wants to live forever

Chapter 454: Cold Iron

Wen Lianggong nodded and asked, "Senior, what do you need?"

Sun Ping, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally came out and stood in front of Wen Lianggong. This hairless monkey, dressed in a loose robe, was very short, even less than 1.5 meters tall.

But Wen Lianggong felt that the monkey in front of him had turned into an ancient giant god. Every step he took caused the stars to shake and everything to collapse.

Only after I stopped did all the vibrations stop.

Wen Lianggong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he naturally knew that Sun Ping wanted to show off his cultivation.

Wow.

Sun Ping pulled down his robe, revealing his lean upper body, and a hemp rope belt tied tightly around his waist prevented his sleeves from dragging on the ground.

When he saw Sun Ping's upper body clearly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This body was covered with wounds and flesh, revealing shocking scars. These scars crisscrossed and almost covered Sun Ping's entire body.

"These were all bitten out by those things in the darkness."

Wen Lianggong felt a chill as he listened and looked around. The thick darkness almost engulfed most of the room. Only the candlesticks on both sides were emitting a dim light, resisting the darkness that was about to spread throughout the room.

"Are these caused by the curse?"

Sun Ping nodded slightly. "The longer the time goes, the more darkness will grow around you. There are unspeakable things lurking inside. Once you reveal a flaw, a piece of flesh and blood will be lost from your body."

Looking at the blood and flesh on Sun Ping's body, Wen Lianggong asked in a deep voice, "What do you need, senior?"

"There is a kind of flower in that unknown place. It is gray and black in color and shaped like a rose. It can heal my injuries. I need you to bring it back."

"Is there any danger?"

"Of course there are dangers. There are some strange noises there that can greatly interfere with your mind. If you can't resist them, you will be completely lost. There are also some strange monsters, which I call empty beasts. Magical skills that use mana to pry them have no effect on them at all."

Sun Ping raised his finger, and a dark green flame light appeared at his fingertips.

"I call this black flame the Binding Flame. It can burn the Sky Beast. It is my only means of harming the Sky Beast at the moment, and it is also the important means that has allowed me to hold on until now."

He stared at Wen Lianggong with scorching eyes and said, "I can teach you all of these. I just need the black flower. You have the soul-guiding lamp. As long as you are careful, you can come back safely."

The current situation is very simple. Wen Lianggong cannot escape. If he is the only one left struggling, without the help of the attribute panel, the best result would probably be like Sun Ping, being trapped in the house for hundreds of thousands of years without being able to enter or leave.

The monkey has been trapped in this place for hundreds of thousands of years, and he has no computer, no internet, and no mobile phone.

He just has a bit of a weird and eccentric personality, it's good enough that he hasn't gone crazy.

Furthermore, even with the assistance of the attribute panel, without the method that Sun Ping spent hundreds of thousands of years researching, the condition would probably not be very good.

Hundreds of thousands of years. If he is given such a long time, perhaps he can achieve Daluo, and maybe even go one step further and become a saint on the spot.

This has become a sanctification, so why should you be afraid of this curse?

Should I take the risk?

Looking at the flame burning on Sun Ping's fingers, without it, would he be able to resist the darkness that would gradually rise as time passed?

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

After a long time, Wen Lianggong nodded and said, "I have another condition." Sun Ping's slightly frown quickly relaxed.

"As long as I can do it."

"I have a personal hobby. I am extremely curious about mythological artifacts. I want to observe and touch them. Is that possible?"

"for example."

"For example, among your Xinyuan clan, there is a congenital iron tree that gave birth to an iron rod. If you could see the great sage's Ruyi Jingu Bang, I would be very happy too."

Sun Ping's face darkened when he heard this: "How about I take you to Sun Zu and you scold him a few times? Maybe he will get angry and reward you with a Ruyi Jingu Bang?"

Wen Lianggong laughed: "Mr. Sun is really humorous."

“You were the first to be humorous.”

Wen Lianggong: "...Anyway, this is my idea. As long as it feels ancient and has traces left in the mythological era, it's even better."

Sun Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "I can promise you that I can even open the Heart Monkey Treasury to you and let you see some of the ancient objects we have collected over the generations. However, there are some things that I cannot decide on."

Wen Lianggong was fine with it, his eyes sparkling, as long as he could agree, it would be fine. This monkey clan has existed since the ancient times until now, so how many treasures do they have?

It’s definitely a big profit!
Wen Lianggong took out the Sui Xin iron stick, twisted it into a flower and continued, "I heard from Sun Li that this stick can be nurtured to the level of acquired spiritual treasures as long as it is fed with various gold essence treasures. Even if there is enough innate essence, it may not be impossible to reverse the innate. Old Sun, you have to provide me with some gold essence materials."

"...I am only using a post-natal spiritual treasure stick now, and you still want to upgrade to the innate level. Do you know how rare innate treasures and even materials such as Audi oil are?"

Wen Lianggong hit the snake with a stick. The lion's high request just now was just a prelude to the next level of request now.

"Then I also hope there are acquired materials that can be melted into it."

After a pause, Wen Liang greeted the somewhat unhappy Sun Ping respectfully and said with a smile: "You don't want me to die after entering, do you?"

"Hang up?"

Sun Ping realized that this was also true.

He looked Wen Lianggong up and down, and said helplessly: "Your cultivation is still too low. If you enter the Golden Immortal realm directly, your survival rate will be higher. Maybe you can also be like me, imprisoned on the ground, survive long enough, and have enough time to verify these weird things. Now..."

He rummaged around in his pocket and pulled out a fist-sized, irregular black piece of iron.

As soon as he took it out, Wen Lianggong felt a bone-chilling chill invading his body.

Sun Ping looked at the irregular black iron block and said reluctantly, "This is cold iron, which is very famous even among acquired gold essences. It is a perfect match with the characteristics of the Sui Xin Iron Rod."

Wen Lianggong's eyes moved slightly, staring at it: "What are the special properties of this piece of cold iron?"

"Nothing else, it's just hard, incomparably hard. You'll feel it when the time comes. Once you're hit by a stick made of melted cold iron, half of your body will become stiff."

"Thank you, senior!"

Wen Lianggong was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he grabbed it. The moment he touched it, Wen Lianggong couldn't help but shiver and almost lost his grip.

He immediately boiled his blood and energy and mobilized his magical power to slowly dispel the coldness that had seeped into his flesh and blood.
