Real game world: I am gifted and I suppress all monsters

Chapter 40: The Withered Tree at the Cliff

Chen Qingzhou was shocked. He didn't expect that this old man who was far away in Beiting actually knew him. "Am I... am I so famous? How did the elder know me?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Elder Xuan suddenly started coughing, as if he was very weak after saying a few words.

It took him a while to calm down. "Three life skills in one day, such a big thing, I have heard of it."

Chen Qingzhou suddenly realized that the man in front of him was a "divine fortune teller". If that was the case, there was no need to beat around the bush.

"Senior, we, the five major sects of Zhongzhou, came to the Ancient Pagoda City to track down the traces of Ximenbao, which may also involve the Ten Thousand Monsters. We found something suspicious in the Linggu Pagoda and wanted to go in and take a look."

Elder Xuan sighed, "The grudge between the Cui family and Ximenbao is not about good or evil. I never interfere. They all know it."

Chen Qingzhou said sincerely: "Junior understands, we just want to go into Linggu Tower to investigate, there is no need for senior to come forward, please give us a favor."

Elder Xuan seemed to be in a difficult position and hesitated for a long time.

Chen Qingzhou said anxiously: "The situation is urgent, you might as well tell me what you want!"

Elder Xuan suddenly asked, "You are all disciples of the great Xuan Sect. Why did you come to this small ancient tower city?"

Chen Qingzhou said: "In order to track down Simon Fort!"

Elder Xuan seemed a little unconvinced. "My ancient tower city has always been quiet, and no forces from all sides come here. Why did you come here to investigate?"

Chen Qingzhou knew that lying to the other party was just being clever, so he said, "To be honest, we heard from Cui's leader that there was an abnormal weather here, and just now Cui's children disappeared in Guta City."

Elder Xuan coughed twice and laughed dumbly: "This Cui Guangzong didn't come himself, so he asked you to come..."

Seeing that Elder Xuan had lost his voice again, Chen Qingzhou was really afraid that he would suddenly die here, and he would not be able to explain it, so he quickly took a step closer and asked in a low voice: "Elder?"

Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the sky, dimly illuminating the nameless cliff. Chen Qingzhou took a look in the light and was immediately shocked!

The old man was sitting on the ground, as if he had no legs. What was even more terrifying was that the skin on his face was wrinkled, like a human skin mask, and his body was extremely thin, like a dead tree.

Chen Qingzhou calmed himself down and thought to himself, "It would be too miserable if this person is a player. He seems to have a great reputation, but he is half dead when he goes online."

There was nothing else in front of the old man except a large piece of jade that seemed to be growing on the ground. There was a crack on the top of the jade, and in the middle there grew a green seedling, like some strange flower.

The human-skin mask felt the light and suddenly looked up, looking in the direction of the falling star's tail. He turned his ten fingers and muttered to himself.

"The anti-star descends upon the world, Mars guards our hearts, the world has finally been peaceful for decades, is the war going to start again..."

Chen Qingzhou didn't understand what he was saying and just kept repeating himself.

Elder Xuan saw that he seemed to have some realization, "Why, do you understand?"

Chen Qingzhou shook his head. "I don't understand. I just know that no one can escape what is coming."

The meteor flashed by and disappeared, leaving only the sound of Tianbin Shensuan's cough in the dark night.

After a long silence, Elder Xuan said, "Give me your left hand."

Chen Qingzhou took a step back cautiously.

Elder Xuan said: "The number of people who ask me to read their fortunes in this world can be from here to your Tianshan Mountain."

Chen Qingzhou thought about the attitude of Cui Jiye and others when they talked about Tianbin's fortune-telling, and carefully extended his left hand.

Elder Xuan placed two fingers, like dry branches, lightly on Chen Qingzhou's pulse.

Eyes slightly closed, lips slightly parted.

"〖Don't you see〗,〖heart-breaking〗..."

The more Chen Qingzhou listened, the more shocked he became. He never thought this man was so powerful that he could tell what anti-demon skills he had just by taking his pulse.

"〖Phoenix Blood〗!?"

Elder Xuan suddenly grabbed Chen Qingzhou's wrist and dug his nails into the flesh!

Chen Qingzhou was startled by the severe pain and tried desperately to pull back his left hand, but it seemed as if it was nailed in place and he could not move.

"Senior, please spare my life!"

Elder Xuan ignored him and pulled Chen Qingzhou's hand to his face.

I saw that the wound had begun to heal slowly.

Elder Xuan was shaking with excitement, "It's really Phoenix Blood! Tell me! Where did you get this Phoenix Blood?"

Chen Qingzhou was stunned. "Anti-demon life-defying technique! Isn't that a gift from God?"

Elder Xuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he angrily asked: "What did you do to her?"

"Who? Who?"

Chen Qingzhou really didn't know what the other party was talking about.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Elder Xuan exerted too much force and began to cough violently, and his hands also loosened their strength.

Chen Qingzhou quickly took the opportunity to pull his hand back, grimacing in pain. He looked at the wound on his wrist. The wound was slowly healing and the pain was gradually weakening.

Seeing that Elder Xuan was about to torture himself to death, he quickly asked, "Senior, what happened?"

Elder Xuan relaxed for a while, then suddenly collapsed, his voice becoming much weaker again. He gently stroked the tiny green sprouts in the cracks of the jade and began to talk to himself.

"So you are no longer alive. Why am I still guarding this withered tree on the cliff?"

Seeing his idiotic look, Chen Qingzhou thought of the mechanism of the anti-demon life technique and asked tentatively, "Is this Phoenix Blood from an old friend of yours?"

Because there are only one hundred kinds of anti-demon life-saving techniques in this world, and they are unique. Once a life-saving technique is mastered by someone, no one else can comprehend it unless the original owner dies.

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and nodded slowly after a while.

"Forty-seven years ago, the demon fire burned the city. In order to save me, Feng'er was captured by the demon lord of Nanmanzhou. She said that she had the "Phoenix Blood" in her body, and the demons could not do anything to her. But I didn't expect..."

Chen Qingzhou was shocked. It seemed that even with the "Phoenix Blood" he would not be immortal. He should not be too wasteful.

He watched the old man caressing the withered plant in the heart of the cliff with heartache, "Senior, what use is there for this little grass?"

The old man was in a low mood. "The withered tree in the heart of the cliff can make the magic reach perfection. Once the [Phoenix Blood] is perfected, I can be immortal. Feng'er will never leave me..."

Chen Qingzhou sighed. This genius fortune teller was actually a lovesick man.

But he was overjoyed immediately and thought, why not say something nice and get this dead plant from the center of the cliff? Wouldn't that make him invincible?

"Elder Xuan, the demons are truly abominable. That Senior Feng must have died heroically for the safety of the human race. Since the heavens have allowed me to comprehend the "Phoenix Blood", it must be that Senior Feng is still alive and has passed on this legacy to me. Don't worry, I will definitely use Senior Feng's power to flatten the Southern Barbarian State and avenge her!"

After saying this, Chen Qingzhou felt sick.

But the authorities are always confused. Elder Xuan pondered for a while, looked up at Chen Qingzhou, and finally nodded, "Maybe it's true, otherwise you wouldn't be here."

Chen Qingzhou was secretly happy, "Then senior, how do I use this little grass?"

Unexpectedly, Elder Xuan shook his head and said, "The withered plant in the cliff heart is not yet mature, and your Phoenix Blood is only one star. It takes five stars to be perfect. It is useless to eat it now."

"Oh……"

Chen Qingzhou felt lost. Well, it was all in vain.

Elder Xuan's mood eased a little at this time. "However, I will continue to protect this little grass with my inner strength. If one day you can really upgrade the "Phoenix Blood" to four stars and protect the human race, come find me again!"

Chen Qingzhou nodded. It was the only way. He asked again: "Then... can we enter the ancient tower city?"

Elder Xuan nodded and said, "Go ahead, but I want to ask you a question."

Chen Qingzhou bowed his hands in thanks, "Excuse me, Senior."

"You...are a player, right?"
