Chapter 1433 - 1432: Alive Again
Chapter 1433 - 1432: Alive Again
"Turns out reading less doesn't matter much, but what on earth are these things?"Tang Rao picked and chose, yet still couldn't recognize all the things.
"Old man, are you awake yet? If you are, could you help me identify some stuff?"
Tang Rao examined the items back and forth, unable to make sense of them. He thought, since these were treasures from the Ancient Times, the ancestor ought to recognize them.
"I recognize them, but I'm not telling you. I promised to help you three times, not to become your All-knowing."
The ancestor firmly refused.
"I'm just asking, in case you feel like telling me. You're kind-hearted and treat me so well. I've also been thinking of getting you some good wine. If you don't like me bothering you, I'll just disappear."
Good wine?
The ancestor couldn't resist the words "good wine." These words were enough to drive him mad.
"Since you praised me, if I don't tell you, people will say I'm just taking and drinking, without making any contributions."
After speaking, the ancestor snorted, the look of his nose in the air making Tang Rao laugh.
"I know what you want; I'll get you good wine soon, so you won't run out of your three opportunities to drink, and then I can't even chat with you anymore."
Tang Rao deliberately mentioned the two chances loudly, reminding the ancestor that one-third of the three opportunities had been used, and if he continued, he'd run out of chances and the ancestor would also disappear.
The last bit of their connection would vanish.
The ancestor clearly realized this issue too.
He paced back and forth in the Jade Pendant, making Tang Rao's eyes dizzy.
"Wait a minute, why not tell me about the materials first, I can start alchemy and ponder at the same time, what do you think?"
Alchemy was extremely important in Tang Rao's future plans, and with three days left, he only had two and a half days left. Even half a day was crucial.
This moment is pivotal; caution cannot be unheeded.
The crafting method of the Nine Revival Pill and the requirement for Dan Fire were different. Tang Rao glanced at the recipe, it clearly indicated what to pay attention to, and he had to be extremely cautious about the fire curve changes, which was a headache.
He understood fire changes, but what were fire curve changes?
"Kid, are you really an alchemist? You don't understand or recognize these things, how can you assure people you can make Elixir Pills?"
How was Tang Rao supposed to know that a seventh-grade pill had this kind of method?
"How should I know? If I knew, I wouldn't have taken on this tricky job. At least I'd have asked for more materials to ensure success rate. Regretting now does no good, sigh."
Planning to craft a highly successful seventh-grade Nine Revival Pill with two sets of materials? Even the Pill God wouldn't boast, let alone Tang Rao, a mortal.
"You should know the first few on the recipe; after that, it's Mu Cang, An Nai, snake venom grass, Wen Lei, Celery Grass, Netherworld Fruit..."
Every mention was accompanied by the ancestor transforming the images of these items for Tang Rao, indicating clearly how to use them and their effects.
Tang Rao recognized snake venom grass, but the other herbs mentioned by the ancestor he had no clue about.
"Is it particularly difficult to find these things? I'm thinking if both sets of materials fail, what will happen?"
"That person will kill you!"
Tang Rao hadn't even thought deeply, and the ancestor coldly doused him with reality, a bit harsh.
"Each herb lies in extremely perilous places. The Nine Revival Pill is called a revival pill because of its uniqueness and rarity; I don't need to say more for you to feel its significance."
Because it's rare, it's difficult to obtain. Imagine how much effort the black-clothed man spent to find these herbs. If anything goes wrong, Tang Rao knows the black-clothed man might do exactly what the ancestor suggests: kill him out of rage.
Crucially, Tang Rao isn't a match for the black-clothed person, can't possibly call on the ancestor once more for a mere black-clothed figure, right?
"Don't worry; I won't lift a finger for that kid; he's not qualified!"
The ancestor raised his brows proudly, dismissively.
"I know, I know, his strength is enough to kill the brat you talk about, Mr. An, but he's still far from your league."
Tang Rao's words were like hammering the ancestor's foot, causing him to roar in pain.
"You punk, are you doing this on purpose? I've spent years in the Jade Pendant, rarely interacting with the outside world, leading to this. Now that my sensitivity has increased, I won't repeat the mistakes of the past."
He assured himself confidently.
Yet how credible he was was easy to discern from Tang Rao's gaze.
"Ancestor, it's better for older people to get less angry; if you keep getting angry, not only will your strength stall, but your lifespan will shorten... Oh wait, I suddenly remember you've no lifespan left, only Primordial Spirit."
Another hammer struck the ancestor's foot.
The feeling of soreness really made one uncomfortable.
"Who said I'm dead? I'm very much alive, leaving some Primordial Spirit for you. Instead of feeling grateful, you're making snide remarks. When the time comes and you meet me, I'll properly deal with you."
The ancestor's words were like five thunders shaking Tang Rao.
He almost couldn't hold back, wanting to confirm with the ancestor whether he heard or the ancestor spoke wrongly.
"Stop joking around; the time to meet me is still far; I'm so young, my lifetime alone can surpass yours."
About age, Tang Rao wasn't bragging; he lived in such a way it scared even him.
The ancestor was infuriated by Tang Rao's words.
"Do you want to anger me to death? The old man isn't dead yet; you've yet to reach my level. Don't assume that when I'm not around, you can drink the wine meant for me. Make sure to save those vintage wines for me. After three life-saving chances, I hope you're qualified to stand before my true form."
The ancestor, revealing his true identity, lifted his spirits. He wanted to make Tang Rao aware that he's not only Primordial Spirit but a living existence, and his strength wasn't just the current perception; Tang Rao wasn't yet qualified to ridicule him.
More importantly, he needed to tell Tang Rao clearly that the vintage wine must be saved for him, otherwise, Tang Rao would regret it.
"I'll do my best; I offended you earlier, ancestor, terribly sorry, I repent and realize my mistake, please forgive me."
