Of course, it was best that the medicine boy was willing to stay. Even the humanoid monsters, such as the Mountain, had limited intelligence and could only repeat Lu Chen's orders. The medicine boy was an intelligent spirit pet and could help Lu Chen manage the army.
"Little Boy, are you sure you want to stay?" Xiao Min looked at the medicine boy with some reluctance.
The medicine boy touched his nose and avoided Xiao Min's gaze. He had been lonely for a long time, and now that someone was suddenly concerned about him, the medicine boy felt a little reluctant.
"Ahem … Well, anyway, Xiao Kuang will come and pick me up in the future … He's brainless and dares to fight even if he can't beat me. If I don't get more herbs for him, I'm afraid he'll die sooner or later."
Although the medicine boy had always liked to be sharp-tongued, everyone could feel his concern for Lu Chen.
He would rather stay alone, which was a sacrifice in itself. After all, what the medicine boy was most afraid of was loneliness.
Lu Chen nodded. "Little Boy, don't worry. When I find a suitable place for the army to develop, I'll come and pick you guys up."
"You … Don't forget …"
"I won't forget!" Lu Chen smiled. "You're so powerful. How could I forget? I'll come and pick you guys up as soon as possible."
After being praised, the medicine boy immediately became proud. He shook his head and said, "That's not unreasonable."
After the army was upgraded, the division of labor within the army was further refined. Lu Chen gave the highest authority to the medicine boy and appointed him as the deputy commander.
Not only did he command all the army members, but if Lu Chen gave him enough reputation, he could also capture monsters, expand the army, and upgrade the operation of the army.
Of course, Lu Chen had always thought that the medicine boy did not have any combat ability. To capture army members, he had to enter the stage of subduing them by force. That was a one-on-one battle, and it was useless to have more people.
However, Lu Chen did not expect the medicine boy to help him expand the army. It was already an unexpected gain to have the herb garden ready.
Two days later, when Lu Chen was about to leave the second level of heaven, he suddenly remembered something.
"There's still some time for the token. Come with me to a place to take a look," Lu Chen said.
"Are there any other spiritual sources in the Second Heaven?" The errand boy was very interested.
"I don't know either. I don't think the place I'm going to is the Spirit Source. It's an interesting place. When I passed by that place before, I felt that something was wrong. I'll go check it out again."
In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen brought the three of them to the Bridge of Helplessness.
At the end of the Bridge of Helplessness sat an old woman whose face was filled with confusion. It was the Meng Po who collected the "toll".
The River of Forgetfulness under the Bridge of Helplessness was faintly emitting black gas.
When Meng Po saw Lu Chen, she was stunned. "It's you?"
Lu Chen smiled. "You still remember me?"
When Meng Po smiled, the area around her face was already twisted like the roots of a tree. "Of course I remember. Over the years, the number of people willing to spend hundreds of millions of gold coins to cross the Bridge of Helplessness can be counted on my two hands."
"Which heaven did you come from?"
"Fourth level."
"Fourth level … I didn't expect you to grow so quickly." Meng Po said thoughtfully. "You didn't come back to see the River of Forgetfulness, did you?"
Lu Chen nodded. "Senior Meng Po, when I first crossed the River of Forgetfulness, I felt that there was something unusual here. It was as if there was something hidden below."
Meng Po glanced at the River of Forgetfulness and said leisurely, "The Red Spider Lily blooms on the other shore. The Heartbreak Grass is sorrowful and heartbroken. Before the Bridge of Helplessness, before the Three Lives Stone, three lives are decided. "
"Young man, the number of people who have seen me twice can be counted on one hand. You and I are considered to be fated. Let me remind you."
"You'd better not touch the thing below now …"
Lu Chen's brows knitted tightly.
Lu Chen still couldn't guess Meng Po's identity. She could be like Can Sheng and Old Ma, from the Third Heaven. If that was the case, her strength was far inferior to his. But she could also be like Mu Xuan and the mountain people, from a higher heaven domain.
With regards to Meng Po's warning, should Lu Chen listen or …
Meng Po seemed to see Lu Chen's hesitation and suddenly changed the topic. "Young man, there's one more thing that I thought of. It might be related to you."
"Related to me?" Lu Chen asked curiously.
"Yes!" Meng Po said. "You should remember the rules of my toll. One million gold coins, you can keep the memories of the person you care about the most. One hundred million gold coins, not only can you keep the memories, you can also increase your attributes."
Lu Chen nodded. Of course he remembered such an expensive toll.
"When it comes to me, there are very few people who have a hundred million gold coins on them. Even the juniors of the large powers of the high level Heaven Domain are unable to support all of them."
Lu Chen didn't doubt this point.
"So, even if you want to keep your memories, it's an astronomical figure for many people."
"I don't know how long I've been here. I've seen many people, but there's a girl who left a deep impression on me."
Lu Chen frowned as he listened.
"That girl chose to forget!"
"Forget? Didn't senior say that most people would choose to forget? Why did she leave a deep impression on you? "
Meng Po laughed, "There's nothing strange about her choice, but what she said left a deep impression on me."
"What did she say?"
Meng Po repeated her words, "I'm sorry, I really can't gather so much money. It's impossible for my family to give me so many gold coins, so I can only choose to forget. But if he is my destined one, he will definitely appear in my world again. He will make me remember him again! "
"He will ride the Nine Winged Heavenly Dragon and appear in front of me!"
With that, Meng Po opened her wrinkled palm. There were two sparkling crystals inside.
Lu Chen was in a daze.
Only he had a Nine Winged Heavenly Dragon!
He looked at the crystal in Meng Po's palm and asked, "What is this?"
"Her tears, her memories." With that, Meng Po threw the crystal into the River of Forgetfulness. "Young man, I can't control your feelings, but this is the first time I've heard such words."
"If you want to know who she is, wait until you pass the Fifth Layer of Heaven. Only then will you be qualified to enter the River of Forgetfulness."
Lu Chen stared blankly at the crystal that sank into the water.
Who is she?
After a long silence, Lu Chen sighed.
Meng Po had made it very clear this time. He had to pass the Fifth Layer of Heaven to have the strength to enter the River of Forgetfulness. Then, his current strength might not be enough.
Meng Po smiled and no longer looked at Lu Chen. She repeated those words again, "The Red Spider Lily blooms on the other shore, the Heartbroken Grass is sorrowful and heartbroken. Before the Bridge of Helplessness, before the Stone of Three Lives, three lives … "
Lu Chen also knew that Meng Po had already made an exception by telling him so much. It was useless for him to ask any more questions.
"Thank you, Senior!" Lu Chen bowed deeply to Meng Po and turned to leave.
Looking at Lu Chen's receding figure, Meng Po's turbid eyes looked towards the horizon.
"Lu Chen, are you that girl's destined one? If so, don't let that girl wait too long. She doesn't have much time left … "
