The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 455 Cooperation
"what?"

"He has been to eternity?"

"Did you come here with him?"

"Mengmeng, you and Fanxian are both with him?"

"This, this, this"

Inside the futuristic spaceship, Lu Zhou and his group strolled around, taking in its various features.

Every now and then, a suppressed but shocked exclamation would come from behind them.

It was Zi Yan who exclaimed in surprise.

She was completely dizzy.

In a short period of time, she learned too many things from Qi Meng that shocked her worldview.

What she found most unbelievable was that her best friend Qi Meng and Fan Xian, who were both revered as eternal goddesses, had both followed Lu Zhou's cause.

Her eyes widened in disbelief, her dreamy purple eyes scanning Lu Zhou as he walked ahead.

Her brother was in a similar situation.

They just couldn't understand how Lu Zhou could win the hearts of both Qi Meng and Fan Xian at the same time.

What they found most unacceptable was that Qi Meng and Fan Xian, these two goddesses who used to dislike each other, could now tacitly accept each other's existence and follow the man named Lu Zhou with each other.

"This is unbelievable!"

What exactly happened during those decades when we left eternity?

How much have we really missed?

Zi Yan put her hand to her forehead and kept sighing.

But her eyes were already blazing with the fire of gossip.

Clearly, this is also an extremely gossipy person.

She caught Qi Meng and continued to press her for answers.

Qi Meng was unable to resist her pestering and tried her best to satisfy her curiosity.

And clearly, all of this cannot be explained in just a few words.

On the other side, Lu Zhou and the others had already stood in front of the pool from which the initial-level evolution liquid was extracted, which was mentioned in the original work.

"Is this the Evolution Elixir?"

"That's right, it's the Evolution Elixir, exactly the same as the one we initially refined a few months ago."

"I never expected them to be so lucky, managing to gather all the main and auxiliary ingredients for refining the Evolution Elixir."

The two rascals, Big Black Dog and Dragon Horse, immediately lit up with their eyes again when they saw the pool of Evolution Elixir.

If Lu Zhou and Ye Fan hadn't acted simultaneously and pinned down those two's big heads...

These two have definitely already raised their hooves and claws and charged towards that pool of evolution liquid.

The commotion they caused also alerted Zi Yan and her brother, who were enjoying watching the drama unfold at the back of the crowd.

They suddenly woke up with a start, and their expressions changed immediately.

It rushed over in a hurry, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, spreading its arms and pitifully blocking the pool of evolution liquid.

"This is the evolutionary elixir we painstakingly collected from various divine materials and ores, and finally managed to refine with great difficulty. You cannot take it away."

"Moreover, this evolution elixir has only been initially refined and has not yet reached its maximum medicinal effect. Using it now would be a waste of resources, and would be punished by lightning. Even the gods would condemn such a shameful act of wasting resources."

"At most, we can share some with you once this pool of evolutionary essence has been successfully refined."

Zi Yan went on and on about a whole bunch of things.

She was well aware of the preciousness and importance of the Evolution Elixir, and also knew just how immense its allure was to cultivators.

This is a peerless divine artifact that can even make the most powerful forces of the Eternal Era break a dog's brain.

Compared to the Evolution Elixir, everything else has to take a backseat.

Upon seeing the dead dog and the stinky horse that clearly wasn't anything good, she immediately recognized that the liquid in the pool was the Elixir of Evolution.

And they clearly have a strong desire for it.

She was very worried that Lu Zhou and his group would directly steal the pool of evolutionary elixir that they had spent decades refining with great difficulty, risking their lives to extract it.

As she spoke, she kept giving Qi Meng anxious winks.

She clearly wanted Qi Meng to say a few words on her behalf.

Therefore, she can share these evolutionary elixirs with Lu Zhou and others.

Clearly, she has some brains.

In addition, she has a clear understanding of the situation, a certain amount of courage, and knows the art of giving up.

In this respect, she was far superior to her brother.

She believed that it was better for her to offer to share the pool of evolutionary elixir with Lu Zhou and the others than to end up with nothing or even lose her life.

At this point, she dared not place all her hopes on the sisterly bond between her and Qi Meng.

Let alone the sisterly bond that has no blood relation whatsoever.

Don't you see in the Eternal Realm, even brothers would fight and love each other for a single elixir of evolution?

She had heard plenty of stories like this since she was a child, all over the world.

Looking at Zi Yan like this, Lu Zhou's eyes showed a rare hint of appreciation for her.

He remembered that in the original novel, when Ye Fan discovered this pool of preliminarily refined evolution liquid, Zi Yan had taken some measures to protect it.

For example, he pretended to be indifferent to Ye Hei's evolutionary elixir in an attempt to lull Ye Hei into a false sense of security.

Although her little tricks ultimately failed to fool Emperor Ye, and the pool of evolutionary elixir still became Emperor Ye's spoils of war, aiding his cultivation.

But it must be said that, given the urgency of the situation, her performance was already quite good.

In any case, she is definitely much better than the others who traveled with her, especially her good-for-nothing brother who only talks big.

"OK OK."

Seeing that Zi Yan was about to continue babbling on and on, looking extremely aggrieved, her good-for-nothing brother also looked increasingly fierce on the outside but tough on the inside.

Qi Meng shook her head speechlessly and stepped out.

She pointed to the big black dog and the dragon horse.

"They've always been like this. Whenever they see something good, even if it's one of their own, their eyes light up with greed. They might even sneak up on their own people."

"Woof woof."

Upon hearing Qi Meng's words, the big black dog immediately objected and was about to speak up to refute her and defend itself. Its dog eyes glared fiercely at Lu Zhou, looking as if it wanted to bite him a few times.

It was certain that Qi Meng was able to say such things because Lu Zhou was slandering it behind its back.

"Alright, you damn dog, Meng'er is right. Everyone in the world knows what kind of people you two are. Stop barking."

Lu Zhou glanced at the Black Emperor and used magic to interrupt its disgruntled barking.

At this moment, Qi Meng chuckled softly and continued speaking.

"Actually, Black Emperor and Ryoma are good people at heart, and they are both very loyal!"

These words made Black Emperor and Dragon Horse feel much better.

These two are the kind of guys I like to pet in the direction of their fur.

Qi Meng took Zi Yan's hand.

Tell her to relax. He whispered a few words in her ear, and I don't know what she said, but Zi Yan's eyes widened again, staring at Lu Zhou with disbelief.

It was as if they had encountered some incredibly strange monster.

Her understanding and values ​​seemed to have been shattered once again by some news that Qi Meng told her.

"Are you telling the truth?"

She was stunned, and after regaining her senses, she let out another instinctive gasp.

"You little brat, why would I lie to you!"

Qi Meng had a touch of arrogance, and a "believe it or not" expression crept onto her face.

But in an instant, everyone present heard Qi Meng speak to Zi Yan and Zi Xuan.

"You should have heard Black Emperor and the others say that they successfully refined the Evolution Elixir just a few months ago!"

"Let me tell you, what they refined was an evolutionary elixir that had reached the fourth stage!"

"Ah this."

Ziyan and Zixuan, the two siblings, were surprised again.

They had indeed just heard the Black Emperor mention that they had also refined evolution liquid when he saw this pool of evolution liquid.

Unexpectedly, Black Emperor and his team successfully refined the fourth stage of the Evolution Elixir.

They knew all too well what the fourth-stage evolution elixir meant and just how immense its value was.

If this were to happen in the Eternal Age, it would surely cause a great upheaval, prompting many forces to take action.

They stared at the Black Emperor and the others in shock.

Black Emperor and Dragon Horse, on the other hand, raised their heads high, as if it were a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.

He looked quite smug.

While the brother and sister were still in shock about this, they heard Qi Meng say something else.

"With your current capabilities, I estimate you can only successfully refine this pool of evolutionary elixir to the initial stage at most. You probably don't have the main ingredients to continue refining this initial stage evolutionary elixir."

"While the initial-stage evolution elixir still has considerable effects on you at your current level, capable of tempering your physique and enhancing your combat power to some extent..."

"But what happens next?"

"I know that Ye Zi and Hei Huang still have some auxiliary materials left for refining the Evolution Elixir!"

"The reason they were able to collect all the main and auxiliary ingredients for refining the Evolution Elixir in just a few months and successfully refine the fourth stage of the Evolution Elixir is also related to their current status on this planet!"

"They accomplished all of this in a short period of time by cooperating with multiple forces!"

"I think you might be able to collaborate with each other."

Qi Meng said a lot in one breath.

Her final suggestion made Ye Fan and the big black dog's eyes light up.

Because it was a collaboration between multiple parties, Ye Fan and his group successfully extracted a considerable amount of evolutionary essence in stages one, two, three, and four a few days ago.

But when it was finally allocated according to the cooperation share, it was barely enough for them to use once.

Now, they have no stock of Evolution Elixir left, only some auxiliary materials that can be used to refine it.

Having used the Evolution Elixir, they were well aware of its benefits.

Putting aside everything else, in just a few short months, they relied on a portion of evolutionary elixir given to them by Lu Zhou, as well as some evolutionary elixir they refined themselves.

They all broke through one or more small steps in succession.

Qi Luo broke free from years of constraints and fully entered the world of Sword and Fairy 4.

Now that Qi Meng has made this suggestion, they are naturally very excited.

Not only were they moved, but Zi Yan and her brother were also clearly very moved.

Not to mention that in order to preserve the Evolution Elixir and avoid ending up with nothing, Zi Yan originally intended to share the pool of Evolution Elixir with Ye Fan and the others.

What Qi Meng just said is quite reasonable.

The two siblings no longer have the ability to further refine this pool of evolutionary essence.

However, if one wishes to take this pool of evolutionary elixir back to eternity and return to the Purple Cloud Clan...
This seems pretty difficult too.

Who knows what other unexpected things might happen along the way?
Thinking this, Ziyan and Zixuan exchanged a glance.

The next moment, Zi Yan said with a smile.

"Mengmeng, your suggestion is great, I have no objection!"

As she spoke, a look of difficulty appeared on her face again.

Then I heard her continue speaking.

"However, you just said that they only have auxiliary materials for refining the Evolution Elixir, but not the main ingredients."

"If we want to continue refining this pool of evolutionary essence, we'll probably need to speed up the search for the main ingredients."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ye Fan say with a smile.

"Actually, we have been continuously searching for the main and auxiliary ingredients to refine the Evolution Elixir these days!"

"Regarding the main ingredients, we have already made some progress."

As he said this, Ye Fan looked at Lu Zhou before continuing.

"Before Brother Monkey went into seclusion, I discussed this matter with him. Brother Monkey said that after he came out of seclusion, he wanted to go to the Western Desert and see if he could ask his uncle to go down the mountain again to the Primordial Ancient Mine. Perhaps they could get a Primordial Life Stone."

"Also, Lu Zi, didn't you tell me before that there is a Heart of Death on the ancient starry road leading to eternity in our Beidou?"

"Since there's nothing major happening in Beidou right now, I plan to finish up some trivial matters in the next few days, and then embark on the Ancient Star Road to see if I can get my hands on that Heart of the Dead. I'll also take a look at the Eternity you mentioned."

"Oh?"

Lu Zhou didn't know if this was another one of those so-called revisions to the original work that were of unknown existence.

He did recall that in the original story, Ye Fan had also considered asking the old monkey to enter the Primordial Forbidden Zone to help obtain the Primordial Life Stone.

Lu Zhou thought for a moment and smiled.

"It's good that you have this plan!"

"If the Fighting Saint King enters the Primordial Ancient Mine, I think he can definitely obtain the Primordial Life Stone. Combined with the Heart of the Death Realm that you obtained, and this pool of Evolution Elixir, you will be able to refine the third stage of Evolution Elixir!"

"If you make any unexpected gains during this period, you might be able to extract the fourth and fifth stage evolution elixir!"

As is well known, regarding the issue of refining evolution elixir, although there are many auxiliary materials, most of them can be replaced by other divine minerals.

As long as you have a certain number of main ingredients, you can generally refine an evolution elixir of a certain stage.

In the original work, the Heavenly Court relied on the Heart of the Dead Realm obtained by Ye Fan, the Primordial Life Stone obtained by the old monkey from the Primordial Ancient Mine, the Evolution Treasure Liquid that the Eternal Expeditionary Force accidentally obtained in the starry sky, some materials collected by Ye Fan and his group in the Big Dipper, and a portion of the initial-level Evolution Treasure Liquid in the pool in front of them.
Finally, they successfully extracted the fifth stage of the Evolution Elixir.

"If you consider the time, you might even run into Pang Bo and Nan Yao on the other side of Eternity."

"I reckon they're probably still in Eternity!"

"The Southern Demon possesses a secret technique that allows him to record the paths of the stars, so you can pilot the Eternal Spaceship back to the Big Dipper."

Upon hearing Lu Zhou's words, Ye Fan's expression brightened with joy.

"Haha, if that's the case, that would be wonderful!"

Counting the days, he realized that he hadn't seen Pang Bo for many years, and he missed his best friend very much.

In just a few moments, they finalized a collaboration.

After the cooperation was finalized, since it wasn't far from the village of Ten no Cun, they all returned to Ten no Cun together.
