The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

Chapter 481 The Strange Seed Matures in the Crimson Flame Field (Please Subscribe)

The initial operation involved 50,000 mu of illegal fishing grounds.

Not counting high-level monsters such as "Sea Toad" and "King Crab".

He released a total of ten million of the following: "Faceless Fish", "White Tower Jellyfish", "Ghost Face Seaweed", and "Firefly Floating Fish".

It cost nearly ten million yuan of "blood money".

After more than half a year of careful feeding and nurturing.

To date, there are less than seven million monster seedlings left in the monster field, but they are all approaching maturity and are just one step away from transforming into black-level monsters.

According to Zhu Yu and Bai Jingjing's calculations.

Half a month later, it will gradually transform in batches, and because it is generous with its "blood food" to nurture them, the chances of the strange seedlings successfully transforming are very high.

But they have no idea how mature it will be.

However, there are still at least three million heads.

Bai Jingjing quickly finished explaining the situation at the strange arena, then looked at Wei Long, whose eyes were shining, and secretly curled her lip, saying, "Do you have the strength to eat that much?"

"The price of monsters changes every day now. 'Faceless Fish,' 'White Tower Jellyfish,' 'Ghost Face Seaweed,' and 'Firefly Floating Monsters' are all edible and can increase one's vitality."

After a pause, she kindly reminded him, "Even without the Ghost Crystal, one costs six 'Blood Coins'."

"7

"Oh—maybe it will be even higher in half a month—"

"hiss--"

Wei Long instantly did the math in his mind and couldn't help but gasp.

According to Bai Jingjing.

To produce at least three million monsters, he would need to spend at least twenty million "blood coins," even if the price of "monsters" didn't increase in the past two weeks.

However, as news spread that the inland sea had become a desolate place.

It is foreseeable.

A bizarre price increase is inevitable; the only question is how much.

In other words, if he wanted to monopolize Zhu Yu's treacherous scheme, he wouldn't be able to stop it without 20 to 30 million "blood money".

Thirty million "blood money".

Even if he stole, robbed, or sold himself, he still couldn't get the money.

However, Wei Long was somewhat unwilling to buy only a small portion, as the price of the strange creatures in the outer seas had skyrocketed, and the price in the inland areas would surely go crazy.

He wouldn't be satisfied unless he made a fortune.

After a few moments of change in expression, Wei Long looked at Zhu Yu and said earnestly, "Brother Gui, could you give me some time? Half a month. I will definitely give you an answer within half a month."

"Poor wretch—"

Bai Jingjing secretly pursed her lips.

Zhu Yu waved his hand dismissively and said generously, "Brother Wei, just go ahead and raise the money. You can buy as much as you want with me."

"Brother Weird!"

Wei Long's eyes reddened instantly; if Zhu Yu hadn't stopped him, he would have kowtowed.

Wei Long is gone.

He left the market with the idea of ​​making a fortune.

And then he left.

Instead of the joy of about to make a fortune, Bai Jingjing's face was scrunched up with worry. She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, aren't we being too high-profile?"

Fearing that Zhu Yu might not understand her meaning, she quickly added, "Our family owns 50,000 mu of deep-water monster fields, millions of monster seedlings that are about to mature, and another 50,000 mu of monster seedlings in deep-water monster fields are being cultivated. This is no small amount of money—"

The more she talked, the more frightened she became. Tears streamed down her face as she frantically wiped them away, glancing around nervously. "Sir," she said in a panic, "what if someone's after our haunted house?!"

Zhu Yu glanced at the little money-grubber with surprise, not expecting that this little guy, whose head was usually filled with "blood money," could think of such things.

He nodded in satisfaction.

I increasingly feel that keeping Bai Jingjing around to watch over the ghost field is the right thing to do.

As for whether anyone is keeping an eye on the haunted place?

That's 100%!

Or perhaps he was being watched from the very first day he rented the haunted venue!

otherwise.

How could a mere "Blood Fiend" level monster like him rent such a large area of ​​strange lands? And for the past six months, no matter what he did, no one bothered him, and everything went smoothly.

You must truly believe in the people of "Covering the Moon City," and in the cunning and treacherous.

That's truly unbelievable!

The person who had designs on him was not an outsider, but the "Black Dragon Gang," or rather, his sworn brother, Zhao Da.

Just as I was thinking of Cao Cao, he arrived.

"Brother, you've come to see the strange seedlings and blood food again—"

A loud, carefree voice rang out.

Zhu Yu turned around and saw the bald man Zhao Da leading members of the "Black Dragon Gang" on a patrol of the market.

Upon hearing this, he nodded and replied, "Brother Zhao is patrolling the streets—"

"it is good."

Zhao Da nodded slightly, but as he approached, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Brother, you've been renting the haunted field for over half a year now, haven't you? How's the haunted seedling?"

Zhu Yu chuckled and said, "Thanks to Brother Zhao, I'll be ready to be sold in another half month. I'll treat you to a drink then."

"Okay, okay, okay—"

Zhao grinned and left with the members of the "Black Dragon Gang".

After the group left.

Bai Jingjing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "Sir, aren't you and Hall Master Zhao on good terms? If anyone tries to take advantage of our Ghost Grounds, could you ask him to step in?"

"Please, Zhao Da—"

Zhu Yu smiled, raised his hand and rubbed Bai Jingjing's silly head, immediately getting his hand wet. He quickly shook it off and said calmly, "Don't worry about these things, I have already taken care of them."

He turned his head to look at the dim world outside the market, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Perfect timing to test what kind of person the 'Black Dragon Gang' leader is—"

Bai Jingjing didn't know what gave Zhu Yu his confidence, but seeing him calmly examining the strange seedlings, she wasn't so scared anymore. Once she wasn't scared anymore, her mind, which was full of "blood money," resurfaced.

"What! One 'blood money' for ten monster seedlings! Why don't you just rob them—"

"Your seedlings are limp and weak; you're clearly born with congenital defects—"

"The price of the Ghost Seedlings has gone up? My master signed an agreement with your shop, and you're breaching it? You want to make a trip to the City Lord's Mansion of 'Moonlit City'? —"

"..." Bai Jingjing's little mouth was babbling, full of fighting spirit.

After wandering around for half an hour, they returned to the ghost field on a large number of purchased ghost seedlings and blood food.

Without settling down, Bai Jingjing commanded the "Water Ape" to carry "blood food" and feed the strange seedlings in the 100,000 mu "Strange Field".

Accompanied by a jumble of strange shouts about "Demon-Slaying Sword" and "Demon-Subduing Sword Qi," bags of "blood food" were evenly scattered across the eerie waters.

The strange seedlings rose up one after another, vying to devour them.

"Once the 'monster seedling' matures, give her plenty of 'blood money'—"

Having hired such a proactive and competent employee, what more could Zhu Yu say? A raise and promotion, of course!

But a promotion is out of the question; the only option is a raise.

Time flows like water.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

This day.

"Sir, come out and see!"

Bai Jingjing's panicked voice entered the room.

Zhu Yu, who was polishing his demonic body in preparation for breaking through to the "Netherworld Rank" in the future, got up and walked out the door.

Bai Jingjing, looking anxious, pulled him to the edge of the stone platform, pointed in the direction of the eerie field, and said with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation, "Master, the eerie seedlings are about to transform!"

"understood."

Zhu Yu ruffled her hair in an annoyed tone, then looked toward the strange scene.

Then you can see the churning, dark sea.

The area was densely packed with strange seedlings.

There are "faceless fish" that are as big as millstones and pale like faces without features.

The "White Tower Jellyfish" has a jelly-like appearance and is covered with dense tentacles.

It resembles seaweed but has a twisted, ghostly face, and is called "Ghost Face Seaweed".

The "firefly floats" resembles a firefly, flashing green light.

A quick glance.

The number is no less than two million.

Is it time for a transformation?

Sensing the subtle shifts in the surrounding eerie energy, Zhu Yu pondered for a moment, then slightly opened his mouth. The "Ten Thousand Souls Banner," which had been residing within his body and was shaping his strange form, transformed into a stream of light and flew out.

With a flick of his sleeve, the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" transformed into a stream of light and swept into the air above the eerie arena, growing to a height of ten zhang in the wind.

Rolling black smoke surged from the banner, instantly condensing into a massive vortex that covered an area of ​​a thousand meters in radius.

As the vortex rotates.

A rumbling thunderclap resounded, drawing in the eerie energy floating in the air, which then converged and, like a sieve, transformed into a great river, pouring into the eerie field.

The nascent creatures, which were undergoing transformation, sensed the changes in the external environment and rushed to absorb the strange energy into their bodies, transforming into black-level monsters.

Bai Jingjing stared in disbelief at the scene. Coming to her senses, she looked at the hundred-foot-long banner that had stirred up the winds and clouds, her eyes shining, and exclaimed from the bottom of her heart, "What an amazing and mysterious artifact!"

Zhu Yu glanced at her, and was about to tease her about her "beast sword" when, as if sensing something, he turned to look in the direction of the entrance to the eerie field.

Black fog surged.

A huge ship with its ever-burning lights slowly sailed in.

"The Coast Guard?"

Zhu Yu frowned slightly, stepped to the edge of the stone platform, and as the boat approached, he saw a fat figure standing on the bow. He paused for a moment, then chuckled, "This guy really does have some connections—"

Bai Jingjing, who was fantasizing about wielding the "Beast Sword" and the "Ten Thousand Soul Banner" to wreak havoc, also heard the commotion. She turned around, froze, and then, regaining her senses, hurriedly ran to Zhu Yu, saying in a panic, "The Coast Guard is here! My lord, let's run!"

"Don't be afraid."

Zhu Yu subconsciously raised his hand, but seeing Bai Jingjing's water-soaked head, he didn't slap her. Instead, he pointed at the boat and said, "Look who's standing at the bow—"

Bai Jingjing followed his finger and looked down. When she saw Wei Long waving and beckoning, her panicked face froze for a moment. She snapped out of it, her anger subsiding, and jumped up, shouting, "So it's this poor bastard, the counterfeiter!"

She angrily launched into a tirade, but limited by her vocabulary, she could only repeat a few of her insults over and over again.

When Wei Long and Fang Cheng stepped onto the stone platform, they saw Bai Jingjing staring at them with a cold expression.

The two were taken aback, thinking that they hadn't offended this petty person. Knowing that she had a very good relationship with Zhu Yu, they hadn't provoked her. They turned to look at Zhu Yu and said with smiles, "We're a little late, please don't be angry, Brother Gui."

Zhu Yu returned the gesture with a bow, pointed in the direction of the Ghost Field, and chuckled, "You've come at the perfect time. Once the Ghost Seedlings break through, we can slaughter them on the spot and load them onto the ship."

The two followed the gaze and looked over. They hadn't noticed it before, thinking it was just a strange phenomenon of the strange seedlings transforming. But when they saw the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" that was stirring up the wind and clouds, they were both shocked.

"This strange fellow's background is not simple—"

"Luckily, I didn't intend to do anything that would get me something for nothing—"

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling extremely fortunate.

"Strange artifacts" are common.

But a "strange artifact" with such an aura is no ordinary artifact; it's highly likely that someone is behind Zhu Yu!

read this.

Wei Long immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly, "What a wonderful 'mysterious artifact'! With its help, Brother Gui has a good chance of breaking through to the 'Netherworld Rank'!"

Fang Cheng chimed in, "I've never seen such a powerful 'mysterious artifact' before. Brother Gui, you'll surely break through to the 'Nether Rank' in the future. We'll need your guidance then."

"No, no, not at all—"

Zhu Yuqian waved his hand modestly and instructed Bai Jingjing, who was staring at the two of them, to prepare a table, chairs, and tea, and invited the two of them to sit down.

Just a few words.

He asked directly, "Brother Wei, Brother Fang, I estimate that more than a million monsters will transform today, and this should continue every day thereafter."

"How much are you planning to buy?"

Wei Long and Fang Cheng, both beaming with excitement, exchanged a glance and said, "We'll take it all!"

"Do you have that much 'blood money'?"

Bai Jingjing slammed the teacup down in front of the two of them, muttered something, and turned to walk behind Zhu Yu.

Upon hearing this...

Both Wei Long and Fang Cheng were somewhat embarrassed.

Wei Long grinned, scratched his head, and said, "To be honest, Brother Gui, my brother and I really can't come up with that much 'blood money'."

""

Seeing Bai Jingjing about to speak, he quickly added, "But my brother and I can offer something as collateral. Brother Gui, you'll definitely be interested!"

Bai Jingjing shut her mouth and pursed her lips.

Zhu Yu took a sip of the bland tea, put it down immediately, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Fang Cheng spoke up, "A strange arena." He paused, then added, "Its name is 'Crimson Flame Strange Arena,' a second-tier strange arena with a land deed, recognized by the 'Fire Worship Dynasty' and its 'Yang Flame.'"

Wei Long added, "To be precise, it is 1,000 mu of second-tier ghost field and 30,000 mu of first-tier ghost field."

"A haunted place with a land deed—"

Zhu Yu was genuinely interested. If he wasn't mistaken, once his cunning seedlings matured, it would be time for him to leave.

After all, the "God of Frost" cannot act recklessly when his spirit is divided.

It would be good enough if we could support him; killing a "Radiant Sun Realm" martial artist who is suspected to be an outsider is too difficult.

"To be honest, Brother Gui—"

Wei Long explained it to him.

It turns out that this "haunted place" did not belong to the two of them, but was a haunted place affiliated with the "Sea Patrol Guard", or rather, a haunted place confiscated by the "Sea Patrol Guard".

The two of them went through a lot of trouble.

Finally, it was acquired at a cheap price of ten million "blood money".

Zhu Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "If I wanted to buy it, I wonder how many 'blood coins' would be needed?"

Wei Long and Fang Cheng exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement and agitation in each other's eyes.

Swallowing hard, Wei Long first held up two fingers, then laboriously broke off another, saying, "One hundred million 'blood money'!"

"As long as Brother Gui pulls out one hundred million 'blood coins,' that ghost field located in the adjacent 'Skyfire City,' which is even closer to 'Moon-Covering City,' will be yours."

"hiss--"

Bai Jingjing couldn't help but gasp.

One hundred million!

She had never heard of it in her life, let alone seen it.

However, she did not interrupt. Such an important matter could not be decided by her; the adults had to make the decision themselves.

"One hundred million—"

Zhu Yu nodded slightly. If managed well, the 30,000 mu of "mysterious fields" could easily produce 20 million "blood coins" a year. Moreover, there was also a 1,000 mu of second-tier mysterious fields.

However, it's a bit too cheap.

Even if he didn't understand the market, a simple calculation would tell him that the price of this strange market would not be less than two hundred million "blood money".

Instead of pondering it, he asked directly, "Is there something wrong with this eerie scene?"
