Volume 6: Overseas Chapter 315: The Four Masters of Monte Cristo
Elixir of life!
Inside the cave, a group of people all looked towards the alchemy furnace, gazing at the fire inside and smelling the wafting medicinal scent.
However, although the miraculous medicine was right before their eyes and within reach, no one dared to act rashly or give it a try.
The elixir of immortality is a unique poison in the world. Zhu Da has spent his entire life and even sacrificed his humanity to test the elixir on living people. No one knows what he can actually produce.
Zhu Da, facing the crowd alone, saw that they were eager to make a move but lacked the courage to try. He couldn't help but laugh softly and said, "If you don't have the heart to live in the face of death, how can you transcend the common people and achieve immortality?"
The red fire kept leaping, illuminating Zhu Da's old face with a red and shiny glow, and also highlighting a strange smile.
Contempt, disdain, disdain, as well as madness and arrogance...
In a trance, countless complex emotions seemed to appear on this person's face, but when you look closely, he is sitting cross-legged on the cushion, calm and just smiling.
But Li Muchan could sense that Zhu Da was mocking everyone, because these people had clearly been longing for the elixir of immortality and had put a lot of thought into it, wishing they could get it immediately. However, when the miraculous medicine was right before their eyes, they still hesitated to move forward. Isn't that ridiculous?
However, Li Muchan didn't believe that the other party had no backup plan, because Wang Lianhua had not shown up yet.
"Testing the medicine?" At this moment, several figures stepped into the room. "What's so difficult about this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of sword energy like a white rainbow suddenly broke through the air and split the top cover of the alchemy furnace in half. The force was just right.
"boom!"
The fire flickered, and a strong medicinal fragrance immediately spread out.
Inside the alchemy furnace, several black and crimson pills were seen sinking to the bottom, covered in the color of fire. A strange light seemed to be flowing on the surface, which was mysterious and magnificent, attracting bursts of exclamations.
"Nine?"
The person who spoke had also entered the cave.
The first person had burnt yellow hair, wore a snow-white robe, had eyes as blue as gems, fair skin, an aquiline nose, deep eyes, and a tall figure. He had an exotic look and dress, but spoke a very pure Central Plains dialect.
The man, about thirty years old, had a handsome appearance and a gentle expression. He spoke softly, "We are from Monte Cristo. Our original names were a bit complicated, but after living overseas for many years, we followed your Middle-earth customs and adopted a Chinese name... I am skilled in the use of swords, so I took the sword as my surname and named myself Jianxie."
Following closely, a red-haired foreign woman with revealing clothes and a plump figure twisted her waist, her red lips slightly pursed, and she cast a seductive glance at Li Muchan, "My name is Hu Mei'er."
As the name suggests, she is weird and charming.
A swordsman wearing bright silver armor said coldly, "My name is Tansha."
Behind the three people, the half-closed stone door was suddenly pushed open slowly by a big black hand, and then a tall and strong figure wearing heavy black armor walked in.
The man said in a muffled voice, "I have no name or surname, but I heard that you in the Central Plains also have an axe master named the Great Thunder God. From now on, I will call him that."
As he spoke
The man who called himself Jian Xie suddenly looked at Venerable Ashura, and then glanced at the people behind him. He said meaningfully, "I can't believe that an anomaly like you is still alive."
After saying that, Jian Xie turned to look at Li Muchan and asked curiously, "Are you Li Muchan? I've heard a lot about you! I've heard a lot about you!"
He said he had long admired me, but his expression did not change at all, his eyes only scrutinized and examined me.
Before anyone could speak, Jian Xie waved his hand and said, "Test the medicine!"
The towering giant casually threw the three people to the ground and said coldly, "The things in this furnace are something that ordinary people would hardly see in their entire lives. They don't even have the qualifications to hear about it. You guys are lucky."
"Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me!"
The three men rolled on the ground, not even bothering to cry out in pain. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
But everyone present was an old hand, so how could they not see the murderous intent hidden in the eyes of the three men? They were all covered in blood, and their knuckles were covered with calluses. It was obvious at a glance that they were vicious desperados.
Jian Xie said calmly, "You only need to take out one of the pills in this furnace, divide it into three, and take all three together. Then I will let you go on your own and I will never regret it."
After finishing all this in one breath, Jian Xie looked towards the other factions and asked, "What do you all think?"
Venerable Ashura said expressionlessly, "Yes."
Li Muchan said nothing, just watched quietly. Several factions were attracted by the elixir of immortality, and anyone who acted rashly would inevitably be attacked by all.
Zhu Da seemed to be in danger and had cut off his retreat, but he had unknowingly become unable to change the situation. If this was the case, he must have a backup plan.
Zhu Dawen sat still, still smiling and said, "Please do as you please."
The three people on the ground looked at each other, then stood up cautiously and looked at the alchemy furnace fearfully.
Venerable Ashura suddenly pursed his lips and took a long breath, and the breath flowed backwards. Suddenly, a pill appeared in the furnace and floated up into the air, then slowly fell in front of the three people.
One of them stretched out his hands tremblingly to take it, and said in a trembling voice, "Could this be the elixir of immortality?"
The other two stared at the scarlet pill and swallowed hard.
This is the legendary elixir of life. Those people outside are already blood-thirsty, but now they have one in front of them. Isn't it a huge surprise?
"If you take it, you might have a glimmer of hope. If you don't take it, you'll die. Besides... this is an elixir of life. Even if you die, it's worth it."
The three of them no longer hesitated, but divided the longan-sized pill into three parts and swallowed it in front of everyone.
In full view of the crowd, the three of them swallowed the medicine, then nervously stroked their throats, looking a little panicked.
Time passed little by little.
"Fake?"
Seeing that the three of them hadn't responded for a long time, Hu Mei'er smiled coldly and said, "Fake?"
Jian Xie said with a stern look in his eyes, "No, it's true."
It's because the three people who were testing the medicine have begun to show unusual changes.
One of them was originally covered with wounds, but at this moment he suddenly looked at his hands and feet with great surprise, and saw that the wounds were healing at an incredible speed.
The reactions of the other two people were almost the same. One of them had gray hair at the temples, but now it was dark blue again, and even his appearance looked a lot younger.
Zhu Da's eyes gradually opened wide, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and he laughed foolishly, "I knew it, I knew it, hahahaha."
"Could the elixir of immortality be real? Hahahaha... This feeling is so comfortable."
The three of them looked ecstatic and laughed uncontrollably.
"I... seem to..." One of them felt a surge of energy, and his entire body seemed to undergo some kind of magical transformation, with his muscles and bones crackling. "I've become stronger..."
"puff!"
But just as he was about to speak, a figure beside him suddenly exploded out of thin air, and the laughter stopped abruptly. The body turned into a rain of blood and was shattered into pieces.
"Ah, this medicine..."
The other two immediately showed horror on their faces, but before they could react, their expressions froze on the spot.
Followed by the second and third tones.
"puff!"
"puff!"
…
When the bloody smell subsided, there was no one testing the medicine by the furnace anymore. There were only three balls of blood that dyed the ground bright red, which was shocking to the eye.
Everyone suddenly fell silent.
