Chapter 267, Shoushen Mountain Range, Seed Germination Rules
Deep in this secluded trial ground, there stood an endless series of giant mountain ranges, and in the middle of the mountains, a towering giant peak stood proudly among the crowd, standing tall between the vast heaven and earth.

This mountain range was discovered shortly after entering the trial ground.

Later, through many clues, it was discovered that this was the place where gods were born.

Most of the extraordinary people began to gather here in the past few days.

Seize the initiative and find the core.

Lu Yue should have been in the first batch, but was delayed because of what happened to Taoist Fang back then and the need to track down the successor of corpse sewing. Now, in order to make up for the time, he has been running all the way since he escaped from the ruins, his pace as fast as the wind.

After a few hours, we finally arrived at the outskirts of this place of godhood.

Looking up at the top of the mountain, Lu Yue was slightly surprised. Although it was dim all around, he could still vaguely catch a glimpse of a unique and huge outline. The outline seemed familiar, somewhat like the withered fairy peach tree he had seen before.

Could it be that there is another fairy peach tree hidden on the top of this mountain?

As Lu Yue was guessing, he heard hurried footsteps in the darkness in the distance.

Then two extraordinary figures slowly emerged, and the sound of their conversation drifted in the wind.

"How many years do you have left to live?"

"Twenty years. If I hadn't relied on the rare treasures I found outside to replenish my life span, I would have given up now. What about you?"

"I'm almost there...how about...try again?"

"Okay, try again. If it doesn't work, retreat. Don't get carried away."

"Don't worry, I'm not a gambler."

"Me neither, this is the last time."

The two men who claimed they were not gamblers ran towards the foot of the mountain.

Lu Yue followed closely behind and found that there were nearly a hundred extraordinary people gathered in front.

However, these people behaved very strangely. Some of them stared at the seeds in the unknown liquid in the mineral water bottle and studied them carefully. Some took out toilet paper, wet it and wrapped the seeds, and put them in a simple constant temperature box. There were also some people guarding the pit, digging and burying frequently, as if they were expecting something.

Lu Yue looked carefully and found that they were peach seeds.

Soaking method, warm water method, light germination method, paper towel method, sand burial method...

What these people are doing... is like helping peach tree seeds germinate.

These were relatively normal, as the scene was simple and Lu Yue could understand them. However, some extraordinary people were outrageous. Some used ice to freeze the seeds, some tried to roast them with fire, and some even burned incense and kowtowed to the seeds and prayed...

When scientific methods cannot solve problems, people turn to metaphysics.

Lu Yue was a little curious. Why were these people cultivating seeds?
“Sprouting, sprouting, my seeds are sprouting!”

A surprise sound cut through the night sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

A middle-aged man was extremely excited, holding a sprouting seed tightly in his hand.

Then, a miracle happened.

The middle-aged man actually broke through to the sixth level of the Shenzang realm in full view of everyone.

The breakthrough was successful on site. The middle-aged man smiled happily, holding the sprouting seeds in his hand, and ran hurriedly up the mountain, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

boom!
At the same time, an extraordinary person failed to germinate the seeds using the "fire roasting" method. The seeds in his hand suddenly exploded and he was directly transformed into an afro hairstyle.

The afro smiled bitterly and came to a stone statue in front of him. He put his hand on the palm of the statue and watched the life gradually pass away. Only after ten years were deducted did he withdraw his hand. At this time, a seed appeared in the palm of the statue.

The guy with the afro carefully held the seeds back to his original place. This time he seemed no longer brave enough to be bold and had to try the sandy soil germination method honestly.

"Hey, isn't this the owner of the Peace Hotel?"

"It's really him. He hasn't entered the mountain yet?"

Although Lu Yue was observing in a low profile, he was still recognized.

Everyone at the scene thought that Lu Yue had followed those bloodline descendants up the mountain on the first day, but they were surprised that he was still staying at the foot of the mountain.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, Lu Yue found members of Heping Village in the crowd.

So I went up to him and greeted him and asked about the situation here.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yue figured out what was happening here.

The mountain range before his eyes was the legendary place where one could become a god.

As the name suggests, it is the place where the God of Longevity became a god.

Everyone's goal is to enter the mountain and reach the top.

There is news that the core is in the place where gods are born.

Moreover, the mountains also contain the inheritance of the longevity gods of successive generations.

That's right!

Now everyone knows the news about the division of the Shou Shen era.

The inheritance in Shoushen Mountain Range is the greatest opportunity besides the core ownership.

Even for individuals, this is the biggest.

With the inheritance of the God of Longevity, doesn’t it mean that one can become a god?

Its value far exceeds all the natural treasures they had previously obtained.

But the problem is, let alone reaching the top, in fact even getting in is difficult. This place is shrouded by the rules of the ruins. If you want to go up the mountain, you must use ten years of your life to refresh a seed from the hand of the stone statue of the god of longevity in the distance.

Only when the seeds are allowed to germinate can they enter the mountains.

The germination of seeds can also benefit the extraordinary person himself.

Nearly a week had passed since the place where the gods were discovered, and more than half of the people had successfully entered the mountain, but nearly a hundred people in front of him had stopped because they were unable to germinate.

They are all geniuses from various cities. After going through countless hardships and finally reaching the last step, they are stuck here. How can they be willing to accept this?

As a result, some people became mentally unstable and began to try radical measures to stimulate germination.

Burning, freezing, burning incense and worshipping Buddha...

However, according to this member of Heping Village, these methods are completely useless.

It's purely psychological comfort.

These seeds are not ordinary seeds.

All things have spirits. It is they that choose people, not people who choose seeds.

When a seed meets its destined person, it will be very proactive and germinate quickly.

This rule is quite magical. Lu Yue looked curiously at the seeds in the hands of the Heping Village members and found that the quality was very poor and they looked dying.

"Why don't you change one? Maybe it's a dead seed?"

The other party could only respond with a wry smile, saying that refreshing a seed requires ten years of life.

One day here will deduct twenty-four years from one's lifespan. These days, they have been searching for other rare treasures while hatching seeds. They have only been able to survive until now thanks to the foundation they have accumulated over the past period of time. Their lifespan is not long to begin with.

And most of the seeds that germinated were the same as the one in his hand.

Maybe he has a connection with this seed, but it's a very shallow connection. If they communicate for a few more days and improve their relationship, maybe they will succeed.

There are many such successful cases.

At least it's better than those dry, withered and lifeless waste seeds.

Members of Heping Village also said that although their chances of obtaining good seeds were very low, they had observed in the past few days that for people like Lu Yue who were recognized by the stone statue of the God of Longevity, the probability of obtaining top-quality seeds would be very high.

He had personally seen some bloodline descendants pull out ten times in a row and produce top-quality seeds.

And it will sprout!!!
After figuring out the rules, Lu Yue came to the stone statue.

Only then did he realize that this stone statue was actually the last longevity god.

It’s just different from the image in my memory, yet it has a hint of familiarity.

Isn’t this the body of the last longevity god plus the head of the one-eared old man?
The reason why he didn't recognize it at first was mainly because the stone statue had a complete head and two ears, and the face had been beautified, making it look very upright and majestic.

Are you sure this wasn’t done by the one-eared old man?

As expected, everyone loves beauty, even villains.

According to the method of obtaining the seeds, Lu Yue placed his hand on the palm of the stone statue. Just when the other party was about to deduct his lifespan, he quickly activated the purple jade hand. It was not so easy to get his lifespan.

Ten years of life is not a lot for Lu Yue nowadays, but it is also the money he has earned with great difficulty. He can give it to anyone except the one-eared old man.

In the hands of a saint, no evil can invade!
As expected, Lu Yue successfully found the bug. He didn't give the "money", but a round seed emitting colorful light appeared in the other party's palm, which was obviously a top-grade product.

No way? !!!

Can you get top-quality seeds by just pulling out a single shot?

The extraordinary people around all looked at Lu Yue with extremely surprised expressions. Although they saw someone get the best seeds, it took at least ten draws.

Lu Yue now hit the target with one shot.

These geniuses from various cities were hit hard again.

Lu Yue was about to reach out to take the top-quality seed, but suddenly he felt a sense of being watched. He looked up and his eyes met the stone statue. At that moment, as if traveling through space, he saw resentment and curse in the eyes of the stone statue.

This stone statue is like a surveillance camera.

The one-eared old man was hiding in the monitoring room and spying on him.

The next second, the top-quality seeds in the stone statue's hand disappeared.

Instead, there is a cracked, shriveled and dull seed.

The muscles at the corners of Lu Yue's eyes twitched as he tried to pick up the shriveled seed.

However, with just a slight pinch, the seed shattered.

This sudden scene also left others confused.

They had never seen anything like this.

Everything was fine before, how come it suddenly became like this?
It breaks into pieces when touched. Isn't this pure waste seed?

But this made everyone feel much more comfortable.

Your own failure is terrible, but the success of others is even more worrying.

Soon, they saw Lu Yue reaching out to continue refreshing the seeds. They were all envious. He was worthy of being the owner of the Peace Hotel. Although the charges were very cheap, he must have accumulated a lot of lifespan, so it would be no problem to refresh it with another ten years of lifespan.

But Lu Yue's second draw was still a garbage seed.

It breaks at the slightest touch!
Before everyone had time to complain, they saw Lu Yue continue to refresh the seeds, one after another, and each one was a garbage seed that shattered at the slightest touch.

What kind of luck is this?
All the seeds I drew were the worst.

However, even more shocking things are yet to come.

Everyone discovered that the owner of the Peace Hotel had begun to frantically trade his lifespan to refresh the seeds, shaking hands with the stone statue's hand frequently, and the speed of extraction was getting faster and faster.

Friction, friction, crazy friction, leaving afterimages.

The expressions of the crowd gradually changed from initial sarcasm to astonishment, then to shock, and then to palpitations. This exciting scene made many people cover their chests tightly.

"Boss, stop now, the statue's palms are almost red and smoking!"

"Boss, don't get carried away!"

"Every seed is garbage. Why don't we stop for a while and find the problem?"

The shouts of the crowd did not stop Lu Yue from refreshing the seeds frantically.

Instead, it made Lu Yue's hand speed faster and faster.

Everyone felt that their hearts could not bear such stimulation.

It's been a hundred consecutive draws, that's a thousand years of life! ! ! !

Boss, are you using a cheat that gives you infinite lifespan? ! ! !
These people didn't know that Lu Yue was extremely happy at this moment.

These shriveled seeds actually contain source energy.

One seed contains a wisp of source energy.

Thank you for the energy sent by the one-eared old man +1, +1, +1...

The inventory of this number one player must be cleared out today.

Crazy, totally crazy!!

To outsiders, Lu Yue was possessed by a gambler at this moment. The more he lost, the more he wanted to turn the tables. Even though he had drawn rubbish seeds for a hundred times in a row, the other party was still laughing.

Small gambling brings joy, big gambling can hurt your life!
.........

At the top of the Shoushen Mountains, there is a dark area as deep as ink.

In the deepest part, there is a stone coffin that looks like the one in the dilapidated ancient temple. There are countless broken limbs and arms scattered around it. It looks like a scene from hell and is shocking.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew past, and those silent limbs and arms began to wriggle, showing an attacking posture, as if they were on guard against something.

At this moment, the one-eared old man appeared carrying a young body.

The limbs that were originally ready to move began to tremble in fear, as if they sensed some terrifying existence, and they shrank into the soil, not daring to move at all.

The one-eared old man walked towards the sarcophagus with an expressionless face and pushed open the heavy coffin lid with both hands.

Inside the sarcophagus, lay a headless corpse.

That was his former physical body, and it still looks fresh.

In the past thirty years, many extraordinary people have entered the ruins fragments, and he used some means to teleport these extraordinary people to the trial ground, absorbing the life essence of these extraordinary people, using part of it to delay the decay of his own brain, and the other part to act on his own body to maintain the activity of all the cells in his body...

However, since his body was already very old due to a blood defect, no matter how much he used the life essence of the extraordinary people to nourish it, he could not regain his youth.

Looking at the original body, and then looking at the young body on his shoulders...

The one-eared old man grabbed his own body from the sarcophagus without hesitation and threw it out, then put the young body on his shoulder into the sarcophagus.

"My dear great-grandson, you came at the right time."

"This body of yours, which was never supposed to exist in this world, is much better than the one I had originally. If you had come in a little later, maybe I could have saved your life."

"But now...I want this body of yours."

The one-eared old man spoke in a grim voice as he looked down at the body of the heir sewn into the sarcophagus.

Suddenly, there was a snapping sound.

A piece of festering flesh on his face slapped onto the body of the corpse-stitching heir.

The one-eared old man frowned. The body of the god of longevity was gradually losing its divinity. A body without divinity would become extremely poisonous. If he didn't get a new body as soon as possible, he would also die.

But now, it's not the time.

The one-eared old man's gaze pierced through the layers of darkness and focused on the huge gray peach tree in the distance. Looking carefully... the peach tree had produced a fruit.

However, the fruits are very small and obviously not yet ripe.

He has guarded the trial ground for the organization for thirty years.

It is to protect this special peach tree.

Once the fruit is ripe, add a perfect body.

He will become the real God of Longevity!!!
At this moment, the one-eared old man seemed to sense something, and his gaze suddenly turned to the outside world, penetrating the barrier of the huge mountain and looking directly at the stone statue of the god of longevity at the foot of the mountain.

Is that the young man?!
He wants to go up the mountain?

When he thought that the young man was Fang's spy, the one-eared old man became furious. Although the body of the God of Longevity did not have much divinity and could not reach its peak state, he could still mobilize some power of rules in the remains of the God of Longevity.

The one-eared old man waved his hand and used the rules to take away all the best seeds in the seed stock, even the most ordinary seeds.

No matter how lucky the other party is, he can only draw out the useless ones in the pool.

When the fruit is about to ripen, no variables are allowed.

He must stay here all the time.

The waste seeds could not germinate, and the young man could not climb the mountain.

After he becomes a god, the overall situation will be decided. By then, neither the young man nor the man surnamed Fang will be worth mentioning.
