There is a saying that men have gold under their knees, and they should not kneel lightly. In his previous life, he had never knelt before anyone. He had only knelt and cried in front of his deceased parents. In this life, he had only knelt before his Master. So what if he knelt again for a promise? Not to mention that the old lady was old enough to be his ancestor, so there was nothing wrong with kneeling. Yue Qianchou shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Disciple requests a favor from Jiu Gu. This matter is really difficult to speak of, so I have no choice but to kneel down and beg."
Ma Jiugu's opened eyelids drooped again. She walked several steps with the help of her crutch. She stared at him and asked, "What is it that makes you kneel down and beg?" The other two women also stared at him.
Damn it! Do you think I like kneeling? Yue Qianchou thought for a while and said, "I want to ask Jiu Gu for some spiritual herb seeds needed to concoct the Foundation-building Elixir."
Yan Zixia and Lan Bingxue were stunned. Both of them thought they had heard it wrong. It was understandable if he wanted Foundation Building Pills, but if he wanted seeds, could it be that he wanted to plant his own spiritual herbs and concoct pills? There's no need for that! If he waited for more than three years, he would be able to obtain three Foundation Establishment Pills in one go.
Naturally, Ma Jiugu had also thought of the same thing. In fact, she had thought even more than them.
"Stand up and talk first." Ma Jiugu asked: "Do you want to keep the seed or give it to someone else?" She thought that maybe Yue Qianchou was sent by another sect. Yan Zixia was slightly surprised. She had also thought of this possibility. She knew that Yue Qianchou was from Aung Kwang-tsung.
Who liked to kneel? No one was born to be a slave. Yue Qianchou stood up and said, "This disciple wants it for himself."
Ma Jiugu asked indifferently, "Grow your own spiritual herbs?"
"Yes."
"You want to concoct a Foundation Building Pill yourself?"
"Yes."
"Refine it for your own use?"
"Yes."
"This old woman doesn't understand. You can obviously get three Foundation Establishment Pills in three years, so why did you do this?" Ma Jiugu turned around and asked, "Can you tell me why?"
Yue Qianchou hesitated for a moment, then said resolutely, "I promise! For a promise, otherwise I can wait three years. "
"I still don't understand. You have stayed in the mulberry garden for a long time, you should know that it is very difficult to grow the several main ingredients of the Building Foundation Pill. Even if you can grow it, even if I give you seeds, you won't be able to grow it in three years. If that's the case, you might as well wait another three years. I don't know if I'm muddle-headed, but I can't calculate this debt clearly. Yue Qianchou, can you give me an explanation? "Ma Jiugu gently poked the ground with her walking stick.
Yue Qianchou paused, then shook his head and said, "This disciple can't explain it clearly." Naturally, he couldn't tell her the secret of the golden pearl.
"Oh," Ma Jiugu replied and walked a few steps with the help of her crutch. She stopped and said, "You know the rules of Fuxian Island. Spirit grasses and seeds are not allowed to be spread to outsiders."
Yue Qianchou also knew the rules. While he was feeling dejected, Ma Jiugu said, "Speaking of which, you are also a disciple of Fuxian Island. Giving the seeds to you is not considered spreading them to outsiders. Giving the seeds to a disciple to grow privately is not something that has been done … But I can give it to you."
Yue Qianchou was stunned, and so were Yan Zixia and Lan Bingxue.
"The condition is that you can't spread the seeds of Fuxian Island to outsiders. If you don't abide by this rule, I will never give you the seeds," Ma Jiugu said with her back facing him.
Yue Qianchou was overjoyed and quickly said, "This disciple will absolutely not give the seeds to anyone." He didn't expect that Ma Jiugu would agree.
"Good. You must remember what you said today. If you dare to violate it, not only will I be breaking the rules, but you will also be breaking the rules. At that time, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will still crush your bones and scatter your ashes. Do you believe me?" Ma Jiugu was old, but her indifferent words were filled with unquestionable confidence.
With Ma Jiugu's cultivation level, Yue Qianchou certainly believed that she had the strength to kill someone else. However, he had the golden bead, and the white fox, who was also in the late stage of Passing Tribulation, was also in the golden bead. No matter how confident she was, it was useless.
However, it was completely unnecessary. Yue Qianchou never thought of giving the seeds to others, so he immediately said cautiously, "This disciple, Yue Qianchou, swears to the heavens that I will absolutely not give the seeds to anyone, or I will die a horrible death."
In the Cultivation World, oaths were the most taboo. What cultivators did was originally in defiance of the heavens, and if they violated an oath, they would often have to obey an oath. This was not a joke.
"Don't agree too early. I still have something that I need you to agree to before I will give you the seeds." Ma Jiugu turned around and stared at him with a smile.
There is still a condition? Yue Qianchou slightly frowned, but he still respectfully said, "Senior, please speak."
Ma Jiugu looked at Yan Zixia and slowly said, "Since you are a person who attaches importance to promises, then this old woman wants a promise from you. As long as you agree to this old woman's promise, I will immediately give you the spiritual herb seeds."
"Promise? What promise? "Yue Qianchou was stunned. Yan Zixia and Lan Bingxue also looked at Ma Jiugu, not knowing what kind of promise she wanted.
Ma Jiugu shook her head and said, "Promise this old woman first."
Yue Qianchou hesitated. How could he casually agree to this kind of thing? What if she asked him to die or something that he couldn't do? How could he agree to it?
Ma Jiugu knew that he had misgivings, so she smiled and said, "This old woman's promise is not difficult for you to fulfill, and it won't hurt you. Moreover, it will give you great benefits. Do you agree or not?"
"Uh …" Yue Qianchou didn't believe in such a thing, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the spiritual herb seeds and timidly said, "If it's really as Venerable Ma Jiugu said, then disciple Yue Qianchou will naturally agree. Senior, please speak! "But in his heart, he added, 'If it's something I can't do, then don't blame me for going back on my words.'
Ma Jiugu rarely laughed and said, "Good. Since you agree, I also believe that you are a person who keeps your promise. As for what the promise is, we can talk about it later. Perhaps there is no need to say it in the future. I will naturally tell you when the time comes. You just need to remember that you owe me a promise."
Yan Zixia and Lan Bingxue looked at each other, not knowing what this old woman was talking about. On the other hand, Yue Qianchou felt strange and felt that there was a big conspiracy waiting for him.
Ma Jiugu was very happy, so she poked him with her walking stick and said, "Little Lass Lan, prepare ten spiritual herb seeds for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill and give them to him. Go now."
"Yes." Lan Bingxue went to get the seeds with a belly full of doubts.
"Thank you, Venerable Ma Jiugu." Yue Qianchou smiled awkwardly. Logically speaking, he should be happy after obtaining something he dreamed of. However, he couldn't bring himself to be happy. He didn't know if exchanging a promise for a spirit grass seed was a loss or a gain. For now, he could only take one step at a time.
Not long after, Lan Bingxue came back with a small cloth bag and handed it to Yue Qianchou. "Open it and see if it's what you want."
Yue Qianchou stuffed it into his storage bag without hesitation and said with a smile, "No need. How can it be wrong when Elder Lan personally took it? Disciple thanks Elder Lan."
Lan Bingxue smiled and returned to Ma Jiugu's side. She and Yan Zixia were a bit confused. First of all, they didn't know why Yue Qianchou wanted the seeds. Saying that he wanted to plant spiritual herbs didn't seem very credible. Moreover, Ma Jiugu's promise was also very confusing.
After asking if there was nothing wrong, Yue Qianchou left the inner garden. When he came out, he saw Hibiscus working. He didn't greet her and excitedly returned to the small house and disappeared.
