Deep within the spirit medicine was actually a treasured medicine. It emitted a multicolored light and a medicinal fragrance assaulted the nostrils.
Not far away, there was a cave with withered vines hanging down. Dense dust covered it, and the stone door was tightly shut. It seemed that no one had entered or exited for many years.
Du Shaomu stood in front of the stone door with his hands behind his back. After a moment, he said, "Are you still not going to open the door?"
"Rumble …"
A few breaths after Du Shaomu finished speaking, the tightly shut stone door suddenly let out a rumbling sound. Dust fell from the door and the withered vine shook.
After which, the stone door was pushed open, revealing a dim cave entrance. An ancient aura gushed out.
"Young man, your background is extraordinary and mysterious. Please come in."
At the same time, an old voice sounded as the stone door opened.
Du Shaomu took a light breath and walked into the cave.
Within the cave, there wasn't too much of a special place.
However, there were many strange flowers, plants, and spirit vines growing on the walls. They were suffused with a special kind of light that gently illuminated the cave.
The space was very large, but the cave was very simple. Other than a stone table, stone bed, and quite a few rattan chairs, there was nothing else.
An extremely skinny old man sat cross-legged on the stone bed.
The old man seemed to be too old and his body was already shrinking, leaving behind only skin and bones. His body was like a piece of land that had been plowed over and over, dried up and knotted, and he wore a light golden robe over his body like a sorghum that would fall if the wind blew.
However, the old man's eyes were like the two brightest lights in the cave, flickering with light.
When Du Shaomu arrived at the cave, he saw the skinny old man on the stone bed and sized him up.
At that moment, the old man's gaze was also sizing up Du Shaomu. His eyes that flickered like lights were filled with curiosity and astonishment.
"Young man, you're not an ordinary person. If you can do me a favor, I'll give you the treasured medicine 'Ascending Dragon Orchid' by the door. How about it?"
After a moment, the old man looked at Du Shaomu and said.
Du Shaomu found a rattan chair and sat down casually. He looked at the elder with interest and asked, "Tell me about it."
Tomorrow, there will be a huge battle in the village. At that time, you have to protect all the villagers from leaving the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, walking as far as possible. You can protect as many people as you want, so go back to your true Wild Domain.
The old man looked at Du Shaomu, sighed lightly and said, "As long as you can do it, the treasured medicine that is raising the dragon and orchid grass will be yours."
Du Shaomu looked at the old man: "Rising Dragon Orchid. It should be something you have prepared for yourself. If you can consume it then you should be able to live for a few more days."
"How did you know …" Just who are you... Could he be with those Demon Emperor s? "
After hearing Du Shaomu's words, the old man's eyes, which seemed to be dancing with light, instantly shot out a terrifying gaze. Immediately, he became vigilant.
"Don't be nervous, you and I have no enmity with each other, nor are we with any Demon Emperor. We are purely here to see what the rumors about Patron Saint are about."
Du Shaomu said to the old man as he remained calm and collected.
Hearing Du Shaomu's words, the old man's vigilant expression relaxed quite a bit. Looking at the young man in front of him, he felt that he did not seem to be in cahoots with those Demon Emperor s.
"You said that there will be a huge battle tomorrow. Do you want to fight with the so-called Emperor Butterfly?" Du Shaomu asked the old man.
"Emperor Butterfly, a Colorful Demonic Butterfly that passed through the second Heaven Taboo: Demon Butterfly is not the only one here tomorrow. There are also several nearby Demon Emperor that passed through the second Heaven Taboo: Heaven Taboo: Demon Emperor. They have been waiting for a long time." The old man's eyes widened as he softly sighed.
"Your oil lamp is about to dry up. After you die, the demonic core and blood in your body will be irresistible temptation to those Demon Emperor s. With your demonic core and your lifeblood, their chances of advancing will increase a lot. " Du Shaomu said.2
"Young man, who the hell are you? How do you know so much?"
Looking at Du Shaomu, the old man was shocked once again. He could not believe that the young man in front of him seemed to know everything, as if he had seen through him.
Who I am is not important, but I know of some of your origins. Your main body comes from the Ape Clan, and you are almost at the point where the oil lamps are dry, which is why the Demon Emperor nearby have sent you out. Today, those Little Demon Kings are only here to probe you, to see if you are really at the point where the oil lamps are dry. Du Shaomu said.
The old man looked at Du Shaomu and stared at him for a long time. It was as if he was still in a state of disbelief.
human young person, who was only 16 or 17 years old, had actually seen through everything. Even when the oil lamp had dried up, he could still see through it with a single glance.
"Young man, I know that your background is mysterious and extraordinary, but you'd better tell me who you are and why you're back in this desolate place. Otherwise, I'll be as rude to you!"
The depths of the elder's eyes, which flickered like lamps, became a bit sharper. This youngster was too mysterious and extraordinary, making him unable to help but be on guard.
How rude do you want to be to me? Not to mention how your oil lamp is exhausted right now, even if you really want to do something to me when you are at your peak, it is still not enough.
Du Shaomu's gaze suddenly fell on the old man as he said, "How many Demon Saints were willing to bow their heads in front of me and become my mount just to see if you have the qualifications to do so? Although you have already cultivated the second Heaven Taboo for a long time, I'm afraid that your qualifications to become my mount are still far from enough."
I'll ask you a question now, I'll ask you the answer, maybe the oil lamp will slow down a little this time, if you dare to think that you're not ordinary in front of me, I'll directly suck out your blood, and take your demonic core, so what if you don't believe me?
As Du Shaomu finished speaking, he calmly sat on the rattan chair and calmly looked at the old man. However, there was a fierce look in his eyes that gave off a strong aura that caused the old man's heart to tremble for no reason.
After staring at Du Shaomu for a while, the old man's stern expression calmed down. His eyes secretly changed and became calm again. He said to Du Shaomu, "I am about to die. Ask me what you want to know."
"If I hadn't intervened today, would you have acted?" Du Shaomu asked the old man.
The old man shook his head, "My actions are useless, the humans will only suffer even more. The Demon Emperor's goal is to have me appear, if I am able to protect them today, they will not be able to leave this area."
He said, "Everyone thinks that you, Patron Saint, will be able to protect them. Do you know that if you do not intervene today, they will all die?"
