Half a day later, the scar-faced man calmed down a little. He took out a new table with a new jade bottle and a dozen thin bamboos.
"Look carefully. Don't put it into someone else's bottle in a hurry. Remember your logo. It's the same as your body. You're a team. If one of you makes a mistake, the whole team will be punished." The scar-faced man loudly exhorted.
"The only good news for you is that if you fill the jade bottle in advance, everyone will have three more days to rest."
Gu Zheng's mouth twitched. Based on his estimation, based on the current speed, it would take at least a month to fill this bottle to the brim, even if no one made a mistake.
But from the discussions around him, he knew that they needed to rest for a week every month, not counting the time of the spirit energy storm.
The group stood in the designated position. The scar-faced man activated something. Gu Zheng felt the white crystal on the wall in front of him suddenly light up and start to absorb the blue smoke in the air.
Looking at the people around him who were completely focused on the wall, Gu Zheng knew that it was still too early to wait for the first drop. However, there was a supervisor behind them who emitted a terrifying strength. No one dared to slack off at the first moment, afraid that they would be remembered.
The immortals were still wearing golden chains. Unlike Gu Zheng, who could clearly feel that their strength was suppressed to an extremely low level. They basically had no chance of resisting.
After waiting for half a day, the drop in front of Gu Zheng finally fell. Gu Zheng imitated the actions of the others and quickly put the drop of liquid into the jade bottle that belonged to them.
There was no trace left on the thin bamboos. It seemed to be something specially prepared.
Time passed little by little. In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng had been here for a month. Everyone was clearly very tired. The scar-faced man poured all the blue liquid in the jade bottle in front of everyone into the jade bottle in his hand.
Sure enough, as Gu Zheng expected, no one's jade bottle was full. Basically, they were missing a fifth of it.
"The seventh group has collected the least blue liquid. You will be punished soon." The scarred man didn't seem to do anything, but a small group of more than a dozen people all screamed. Some of them even rolled back and forth on the ground, trying to distract themselves from the pain.
Some of them had already fainted from the pain, which made Gu Zheng and the others pale with fright.
"Try harder next time. Newcomers, you're quite lucky. You didn't get to taste this feeling for the first time. But I don't think you want to experience it." The scar-faced man laughed and walked out.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anger and sorrow, but there was nothing they could do.
However, Gu Zheng keenly noticed that one of the immortals even took a small step forward. The immortal next to him pulled him back in time and shook his head at him.
However, the scar-faced man was still enjoying the pleasure of the torture, so he didn't pay attention to their little movements.
To him, announcing the results once a month and watching them struggle in pain gave him great satisfaction in his heart. Especially the look in their eyes, it made him feel like he was floating in the clouds.
Lord Sect Leader was the best. He gave him, a person with no future, a new life that could turn the world upside down.
With gratitude to Lord Sect Leader, the scar-faced man left the place. He had to quickly hand over these things. Lord Feng was very anxious now.
Soon, he arrived at the platform above and happened to meet an old man coming from the opposite passage. The old man had a head of gray hair and was holding a jade bottle exactly the same as his.
The scar-faced man snorted coldly in his heart. He didn't pay attention to the old man and rushed into the middle passage.
In the innermost part of the passage, there was a circular hall. The floor was covered with a soft red carpet. There were also several exquisite rooms beside it. Those were their respective residences.
At this moment, three people were standing at the back of the hall. Feng Yi's face was filled with impatience. The woman beside him was saying something. The fat man didn't say anything and just stood at the back.
"Brother Feng, why did Lord Sect Leader suddenly inform you in advance? Isn't this half a year later than the scheduled time?" Lian Rong asked curiously. Now that she had successfully advanced to the peak of the Sky Immortal Realm, she knew that she would have to wait for a long time for an opportunity.
"I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with Yaoguang. When the things are delivered, I will leave in advance. You two can leave in half a year," Feng Yi said firmly. His eyes looked forward from time to time. They should be here by now.
Just as he was thinking, the scar-faced man and the old man flew in one after another. Seeing Feng Yi in the middle of the hall, they quickly handed over the Chinese words respectfully.
"When I'm not here, leave everything to Lian Rong," Feng Yi quickly said. He then turned to Lian Rong and said, "Don't go overboard. The current production is already very low. Be careful of Lord Sect Leader's anger."
Previously, he gave Lian Rong the Black Gold so that if he left in advance, someone could take care of this place. One had to know that her foundation was relatively good among these people. She knew how to work hard. Apart from too many utilitarian purposes, she could be considered a promising talent.
The blue-eyed man and the old man quickly nodded to show that they understood. Lian Rong said with a smile,
"I know, Brother Feng. I still have to serve Lord Sect Leader. Don't worry, I'll take advantage of this time to consolidate my cultivation."
Feng Yi nodded and did not say anything else. Immediately, his figure spread out and disappeared from the room, leaving this place.
"Okay, Brother Feng has left. Everyone can disperse. I'll be in seclusion for half a year. During this time, don't disturb me, okay?" Lian Rong lazily stretched her waist, revealing her abnormally hot figure. However, the others were looking down, as if there was something there that attracted them.
"Got it," the two of them said in unison.
Below, when everyone returned to the cave, a fair and clean young man was walking back and forth with a face full of anger. Beside him, a middle-aged man was consoling him with a bitter smile.
"Young Master Mo, don't be anxious. Right now, your strength has only recovered to half. You can't defeat the other party. Besides, there are others above the other party, not to mention the terrifying existence outside."
"I know. I just couldn't bear it for a moment. You have to know, that person was only a despicable person before. I didn't expect that in just a few thousand years, he would reach such a level. It's too unacceptable." Young Master Mo stopped walking. His face was full of resentment and he tightly clenched his hands.
"Housekeeper, how much time do we need to have a higher chance of success?" After a moment of silence, Young Master Mo's anger calmed down a little and he suddenly said coldly.
"Not more than half a year. However, that Star Stone can be completely repaired. At that time, we just need to sneak out and break the barrier outside. We've already endured for so long. Don't fail at the last moment," the housekeeper said bitterly.
"Okay, I know." Young Master Mo took a deep breath and then secretly began to meditate. The shackles on his body were really too annoying. No matter what he did, it would take twice the effort for half the result.
Gu Zheng looked at the blue water droplet in his hand with a pleasantly surprised expression. At this moment, an invisible wave of water was flickering at the entrance of the cave, blocking all the auras in the cave.
Under his kind reminder, Senior Liu had automatically fainted. Of course, it was Gu Zheng who helped him personally.
This was because Gu Zheng had already taken out the Twin Pearl Jade again. He couldn't be careless. Moreover, his divine sense was already at the top. If someone came in, he would know immediately.
The Water Droplet Stone in Gu Zheng's hand was secretly left behind during that month. Even if the other party was constantly monitoring them, Gu Zheng still managed to get his hands on it without anyone noticing. There were a total of 50 droplets.
One had to know that their entire team's results in a month were only slightly more than 200 droplets.
He saw that the small blue pearl was slowly floating in the air. Gu Zheng felt a suction force from the pearl in his hand and immediately relaxed his fingers.
This water droplet was already restless when he secretly hid it in the Twin Pearl Jade. It was as if it couldn't wait to enter the small blue ball. The small blue ball was glowing, as if it sensed something. Its body unconsciously leaned towards the water droplet.
At that time, Gu Zheng was afraid that something abnormal would happen. He only wrapped the small blue ball. This made both of them calm down.
After the water droplet entered the small blue ball, the light on its body disappeared. Gu Zheng once again took out a drop and wrapped it outside. Sure enough, it began to emit light again.
Gu Zheng was not in a hurry to throw it to the small blue ball. Instead, he probed inside to see what changes were happening inside.
He saw that the originally turbulent ocean had calmed down. However, the previously colorless sky now had some black clouds. It was just that the number of black clouds was too small. There was also an obvious strong wind in the sky.
Gu Zheng's divine sense swept over her body. He found that the state of her body didn't seem to be too tense. Since the strange snake turned into a black dot and then gathered all the black Qi in between her eyebrows.
The effect of the waves was almost useless. It was already unable to do anything about the other party's solid fortress.
Gu Zheng's mind moved. The water droplets outside began to rush into the inside of the small blue ball. Gu Zheng saw from inside. Countless blue meteors suddenly appeared in the sky and then fell down.
However, in mid-air, it seemed that they were hit by an external force. They directly exploded in the air. What was even more strange was that the exploding water droplets all turned into wisps of black mist and stayed in the air.
The originally sparse black mist had now become somewhat thick. Slowly, all the black mist gathered above Xiang Xiang's head. This was the process of a small black cloud.
Below the black cloud, the wind began to gradually become stronger. However, outside the scope of the black cloud, there was a gentle breeze. It was simply two different worlds.
A small lightning bolt lit up out of thin air. It was like Pandora's Box. Dense small raindrops began to drip from the black cloud. They were not much bigger than a hair.
Not a single drop was left behind and fell on Xiang Xiang's body. If one looked carefully, those raindrops were all small lightning bolts.
Gu Zheng quickly discovered that the fortress formed by the strange snake, under the bombardment of the lightning and water droplets, actually had a small crack. Some black gas appeared again and disappeared.
Gu Zheng's face smiled. It seemed that he was not in a hurry to leave this place. There seemed to be something here that could help Xiang Xiang.
From what Gu Zheng could tell, the purple smoke he saw before seemed to be of the same origin as the purple lightning that sealed the strange snake. Why did it become such a strange thing after mixing with the black water?
Gu Zheng did not know. However, he knew that he needed to help Xiang Xiang. He needed more blue water droplets.
A week later, an ear-piercing whistle interrupted Gu Zheng's meditation. Then, everyone began to work hard again under the supervision of the big scarred man.
Gu Zheng took the opportunity to intercept the blue mist in the other areas. Of course, in order to not be conspicuous, he would steal some from his own side. It caused the same situation for everyone.
A month later, an unlucky team once again wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves. One of the immortals in their team had a face full of great pain. Sweat poured down like a tide. If it were not for his status, he would have already wailed.
Looking at the jade bottle in his hand, which was almost half of the previous one, it was simply inconceivable. He repeatedly checked it many times. Basically, everyone's quantity was about the same. He always paid attention to everyone's movements. No one could do anything under his nose.
He even checked everyone's body, but he did not find anything. Unfortunately, he could not see through the wall. His cultivation was not enough, let alone this group of people. This made him sulk in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent.
Thinking of Feng Yi's previous stern warning that he was not allowed to abuse innocent people, the big scarred man walked away with a black face.
He had wasted some time. When he arrived, the old man had already disappeared from the hall. He did not know if the old man was the same. Thinking that he did not get along with the old man, he was too lazy to look for him.
Perhaps there was a problem with the array. Unfortunately, after the big scarred man could not knock on Lian Rong's door, he gave up the idea of reporting. Now, only she could enter the back. The others were not qualified.
Gu Zheng's harvest also made him speechless. This time, he had collected nearly 500 drops. Gu Zheng wondered if he had been too ruthless. Fortunately, he did not attract the other party's attention. Next time, he must take less.
Senior Liu was really considerate of Gu Zheng's thoughts. He knew that Gu Zheng had secrets that he did not want him to face. When he saw Gu Zheng's strange eyes, he automatically fainted again.
In any case, when he woke up, his body had already recovered to its best state. Why not?
Just as Gu Zheng merged all the water drops into the blue water ball, the situation inside the blue water ball changed even more violently. The area of the dark clouds became wider, and the lightning that absorbed the hair became as thick as an egg.
The black gas inside Xiang Xiang's body had shrunk. Once again, it split open a bigger crack. Gu Zheng estimated that this time, it would lose at least one-third of its power.
If he really wanted to break it, he would need more water drops.
Gu Zheng deliberately kept one drop of the water drop. He wanted to absorb it to see what effect it would have. As a result, it almost caused the immortal energy in his body to go berserk. The energy contained in it was extremely pure. Moreover, it was incompatible with him. It scared Gu Zheng so much that he did not try to test the blue liquid again.
In any case, it was fine as long as it was useful for Xiang Xiang. He would just obediently collect more.
In the next two months, Gu Zheng reduced the amount of water he collected. He did not collect as much water as last time. Fortunately, that kind of spiritual storm did not appear. According to Senior Liu's inquiry, that kind of storm would appear once in a few months or once in a few years.
When the big scarred man asked the old man and found that the total amount of water drops was decreasing, he threw this matter to the back of his mind. It seemed that there was a problem with the array. They could only wait for the sect master to send someone over. How could they understand this kind of thing?
After finishing a routine work, in a cave, Young Master Mo's face was filled with excitement. The star stone in the butler's hand had been completely repaired. This way, he could inform his father. He would definitely come to save him.
"Let's hurry up and leave." Young Master Mo tried his best to suppress his emotions. In a while, he would have to leave this place and come back again. He could not be too hasty.
A faint golden light appeared in front of Young Master Mo and shot into the shackles on his body.
"Kacha."
The golden shackles made a soft sound. They had already landed on his body silently. His father was an elder in the Star Alliance. However, he was not stupid enough to tell his identity here.
Perhaps the other party would silence him after knowing his identity.
"Young Master, don't be anxious. Let me go out for a while and do some insurance." The butler's experience was much better than Young Master Mo's. The shackles on his body were opened silently. He spoke to the young man and walked out quietly.
In less than two hours, the butler walked back again. He said to Young Master Mo, who could not hide his anxiety, "Alright, Young Master. Let's go."
The two of them sneaked out of the cave. They saw the butler, who opened the way, take out a small object that looked like a wooden stick. It was emitting a green light that illuminated their surroundings.
In the ascending tunnel, invisible threads appeared in the air. Even if they were hidden, they were still covered by the green light. The two of them carefully went around it and finally arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Once again, Young Master Mo took out a saucer-shaped transcendent artifact and covered the hole with it. A colorless water shield immediately appeared. The two of them looked at each other and nodded. Then, they carefully took out a candle. The candle was burning very weakly, as if it would be extinguished by a gust of wind. As the candle approached the shield, it was covered by the flame.
A small hole silently appeared in the shield, and the two of them quickly drilled out of it.
They had a lot of things. They had all kinds of rare equipment. Who asked him to like to take risks? His father had prepared a lot of good things for him. They were all hidden in his body. Even people like them could not find them.
The two of them spent all kinds of thoughts. After breaking the other party's many traps and mechanisms, they did not attract the other party's attention. After half a day, they finally escaped from the cave.
They ran for a day and a night. Finally, they stopped in a dense forest. It was not that they stopped running. It was because the time was up. Their disappearance was about to be discovered by Scar Face.
They didn't have time to hide anything. The steward carefully took out the Star Stone and chanted an obscure incantation.
A beautiful starlight instantly appeared here. It carried a beautiful light and rushed into the sky. However, just as it was about to rush out, a broken shield appeared in the air and blocked the star stone's path.
Under their nervous gazes, the star stone did not break through the shield. In the end, it fell down powerlessly.
