This villager's house wasn't far away; it was only three or four li away from the village entrance. Along the way, Old Antique and Taoist Taotie saw the entire village.
As the villager had said, there weren't many villagers here, and most of the cultivators had very low cultivations. Old Antique speculated that these were cultivators who had mistakenly entered the Gate Between Worlds back then.
This completely matched up with what the villager had said earlier.
Every time the Gate Between Worlds appeared, the windstorm it created when it landed and opened would always suck in a large number of innocent cultivators in the vicinity. Based on previous records, the number of cultivators who had been swallowed up by the Gate Between Worlds alone was in the hundreds of thousands.
And the cultivators in this village were obviously among those who had survived.
So, how desperate must these low-level cultivators have felt when they had been sucked into this place back then?
Old Antique sighed endlessly in his heart as he gazed at the beautiful scenery in the village. This was probably what it meant to have a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel …
As the two fellow brothers approached the tile-roofed house, they instantly sensed the strong spirit power lingering outside.
They were astonished again. This was clearly made of fairly ordinary materials. But the level of spirit power it contained was really too exaggerated!
Just as they were about to say something, they saw this enthusiastic villager standing at the door with a warm and hospitable smile on his face. "I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Tiger Li, a first-generation resident of this village. This is my home now! "
Under the mask, Taoist Taotie had a look of realization on his face.
It turned out that he was a first-generation resident … No wonder he knew so much about the village's history.
"Your house is clearly made of very ordinary materials, but it's abnormally high in spirit power. Does this also have something to do with the holy water?" Old Antique asked.
Tiger Li nodded without hesitation. "Yes. Our entire village's building materials are very ordinary, and almost all of them are locally sourced; the bricks and tiles are all fired on the spot. As for why there's such a high concentration of spirit power … it's because we added holy water to the bricks and tiles when we made them. "
Sure enough, it was like that …
Old Antique and Taoist Taotie sighed in their hearts.
"Come in and sit down, Sir." Tiger Li smiled as he welcomed them in.
After entering, he immediately poured two bowls of water and gave them to them. "This is holy water, please have some."
Old Antique and Taoist Taotie were startled. "You're giving it to us just like that? Aren't we waiting for the village head to come back … "
Tiger Li smiled. "This little bit of holy water actually isn't very useful; it can at most quench our thirst and replenish our spirit energy. Since you've taken such a huge risk to come to our village, you must have a huge demand. Large quantities of holy water has to be approved by the village head himself. "
"I see …"
"Actually, every household has a reserve of holy water. At the beginning of every month, the village chief will send a few buckets to every villager's house. "Tiger Li" In ", Li's, Tiger's" t the water "'t. "Li" Taoist "t" Li.
"t" Li 'Tiger "Que Li' Li and" t. "Li" Li "t." All of them lowered their heads and gulped down the bowl of holy water without any hesitation.
"Antique" Li: "Sweet" The "t"
He did not feel much when the holy water entered his mouth, but when the holy water completely entered his body, all his fatigue was swept away in an instant.
The two of them stretched out their hands and found that their palms were glowing with spiritual light. It was a phenomenon of spiritual power being replenished and overflowing.
"How magical …" Both of them sighed.
This bowl of holy water was even more effective than elixirs that could replenish one's spiritual power!
Composing himself, Old Antique continued to ask, "You said earlier that we weren't the only ones who had come to ask for holy water? Did anyone else come here? "
"Not bad." Tiger Li nodded. "Moreover, most of the people who come to ask for the holy water have an unspeakable ailment and want to rely on the power of the holy water to cure them. Holy water does have a miraculous effect on difficult-to-treat illnesses, but it still needs to be judged according to the patient's condition. "
"What do you mean?" Old Antique asked.
Tiger Li pointed at the bowl on the table. "As you can see, although holy water is magical, a bowl of holy water doesn't have much effect. It was necessary to determine the amount of holy water needed according to the severity of the illness or symptoms. Only the village chief and deputy village chief can do this. "
So there's such a saying … The two brothers were enlightened.
"Sirs, your origins are not simple. Judging from my personal experience, the amount of holy water you need must be huge." Tiger Li smiled.
Old Antique raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say so?"
"When the two sirs arrived at the village entrance, they were calm and composed. If it wasn't for their supreme realms, it would have been difficult for them to take even a single step through the Gate Between Worlds. "
Tiger Li analyzed, "Furthermore, the two sirs were very clear that they were heading straight for our village. They must have bought a map from a map dealer, otherwise finding our village under normal circumstances would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. To be able to afford a map of the Gate Between Worlds, I don't even need to think to guess how powerful the two sirs are … I'm sure that in the cultivation circle in the outside world, you're big shots who can make people tremble with just your name alone. "
Old Antique and Taoist Taotie were startled when they heard this. Unexpectedly, Tiger Li had hit the nail on the head!
Speaking up to this point, Tiger Li rubbed his head. "Perhaps the two sirs are very curious as to why I know so much about the map dealer … because it was actually the village chief who sold the map to the map dealer."
Old Antique: "…"
Taoist Taotie: "…"
"Although the Gate Between Worlds has a five-year time limit in the outside world, there are indeed a lot of uncertain small openings inside. As long as you can find them, they can spit people out."
Tiger Li said, "Previously, when someone wanted to leave the Gate Between Worlds, the village chief drew a map of the village's coordinates and an explanation of the holy water. He entrusted that person to take it out with him. Who would have thought that not long after the advertisement was put out, the two seniors would actually come knocking on our door! "
Old Antique: "…"
Taoist Taotie: "…"
Old Antique: "Then, little brother, when will the village chief be back?"
Tiger Li looked out the window and did some mental calculations. "He should be back soon. At this time every day, the village chief receives the holy water. The holy water doesn't come out continuously, but at a fixed time each day at the source. "
Old Antique and Taoist Taotie both nodded.
At that moment, Tiger Li, who was looking out the window, had a serious expression on his face.
Suddenly, he said, "The village chief is back!"
Old Antique looked out the window, and sure enough, he saw a man carrying a shoulder pole walking over unhurriedly from a distance.
Seeing that the man was about to pass the gate, Tiger Li warned them in a low voice, "When you ask about the holy water later, you mustn't ask whether the village chief has drunk it or not. That's taboo."
"Why?" Taoist Taotie was curious.
Tiger Li's expression tightened. "Because the village chief has never drunk it …"
"Ah?" Both fellow brothers were startled.
