A devil's self-redemption

Luo Lai sat cross-legged and performed the Yuanshi Infinite Jue. The spiritual energy in his body surged like a river.

However, his body was filled with spiritual energy and could no longer absorb any of the medicinal power. Luo Lai no longer used his skills, but immersed his consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness and cautiously approached the black stone.

Nothing abnormal happened this time. Until his consciousness covered the black stone, the black stone was still as quiet as before, but Luo Lai noticed something strange.

He probed his consciousness into the black stone and covered the Donghuang Bell covering the head of the stone statue. He found that the Donghuang Bell was slowly rotating at this moment, and the cracked nose of the bell had actually been half healed at this moment.

Now Luo Laike became interested. What kind of energy repaired the crack? Was it the black stone? His heart was full of doubts, and he brought his consciousness closer to the stone statue and candlestick, but found nothing wrong.

Just when he was helpless, the black stone seemed to feel something and began to rotate violently. A huge suction force came, but it did not attract his consciousness, but sucked the spiritual power in his body into the black stone like a whale.

These spiritual energy circulated in the black stone, becoming extremely pure, and then returned to Luo Lai's body. His body, which was originally very fat, became strong again.

In the end, more than half of the spiritual power was intercepted, and it was unknown what kind of power it was converted into. It was injected into the East Emperor Bell by the black stone. The half-repaired crack healed again, and finally the black stone returned to calmness and became silent.

Luo Lai watched the entire operation of the black stone. He was extremely shocked. What is the origin of this black stone? It can have such heaven-defying functions. Whether it is purifying spiritual energy or converting power attributes, it is not something that ordinary treasures can do.

At the very least, Dafu couldn't have such power, and the nerd probably didn't either, otherwise he wouldn't have thrown the Donghuang Bell here.

In addition, this black stone should be the culprit for him not having enough to eat. He had speculated before, but this time it was confirmed.

Not only can he convert spiritual energy into the abilities needed to repair the Donghuang Bell, but he can also convert food into his own power.

Luo Lai didn't know how to evaluate this black stone, but from this moment on, this black stone had become the number one treasure in his mind.

Suddenly, Luo Lai thought of a question. He wondered whether it could convert the energy needed to restore Dafu's strength and body.

Dafu was looking at Luo Lai and found that the color on his face dissipated very quickly. Before he could say anything, he saw Luo Lai opening his eyes and looking at it with burning eyes. It was a little hairy at the sight, although Luo Lai's green color His face had returned to normal, but his fiery eyes still made Dafu uncomfortable.

"Why do you look at me like this?" Dafu asked weakly.

"I seem to have found a way to restore you!" Luo Lai said his findings directly without hesitation.

After Dafu listened to his story, the branches moved violently and screamed: "Quick, quick, quick, I want to get into that rock, I want to recover!"

Seeing his violent reaction, Luo Lai hurriedly reminded: "Don't worry, just to be on the safe side, I will observe again. Can you make those monsters obey?"

"What do you want to do?" Dafu suppressed his excitement and asked doubtfully.

"I don't have too many elixirs and fruits left. You can drive those monsters to pick more." Luo Lai suggested.

"Well...that's no problem, but they are not very intelligent and will instinctively eat some of the medicines with amazing effects." Dafu said the problem of these monsters.

"There is no problem with this. The main thing is that it requires a large amount. After all, if the energy can be converted for you to recover, the spiritual power required will definitely be very large. However, there is a time limit. You must come back before dawn. The demon at the foot of the mountain People may go up the mountain tomorrow, and we need them to protect us." Luo Lai told the news about Rona and others going up the mountain.

"Well, no problem. I will send the mountain rat to lead its rat descendants to the mountainside to intercept them. Those people will not go up the mountain." Dafu assured with certainty.

After saying this, the branches began to sway, and Luo Lai felt a mysterious wave that was different from spiritual power emanating from Dafu and rushing toward the monsters.

Although Luo Lai was very curious about what this fluctuation was, now was not the time to waste time. He poured all the elixirs in the Qiankun bag onto the stone table and began to stuff them into his mouth without hesitation.

He didn't get fat this time, even as the herb entered his belly. The black stone began to rotate slowly until he had eaten all the herbs, and all the converted energy entered the Donghuang Bell. The crack on the bell nose was almost restored, but a very small crack was still there. If we use another wave of herbs, we should be able to repair the bell nose.

"What I saw is correct. A crack in the Donghuang Bell has been repaired. Dafu, do you want to go in now?" Tell Dafu the result and let Dafu make his own decision.

Dafu didn't hesitate at all. It dreamed of regaining its peak strength as soon as possible. This time it finally saw hope. With a flash of light, Dafu appeared in Luo Lai's sea of ​​​​consciousness with a vase.

After spinning around He Shi a few times, the strange thing is that it was not absorbed by the black stone like the Donghuang Bell and the black stone statue. Luo Lai was a little confused when he saw this situation.

But Dafu explained calmly: "The East Emperor Bell and the Five Thieves Stone Statue are both artifacts. The original artifact spirit in the East Emperor Bell has been scattered. I guess this black stone will not absorb living objects."

Luo Lai nodded. He believed in Dafu's analysis. After all, he was an old monster who had lived for who knows how long. "Then how are you going to recover?" Luo Lai asked doubtfully.

"We'll wait until those monster beasts send back the spiritual grass." After saying that, Dafu began to circle around the black stone again.

When the sky was getting light, the monsters that went out to collect medicine came back one after another, but the way they brought them back was really hard for Luo Lai to accept. They actually brought the elixir back with the elixir in their mouths!

"Why didn't you tell me how they brought back the elixir? I'm telling you, I can't take it off my mouth. It's so disgusting." Luo Lai was so disgusted that he had to eat it. He actually took it with his mouth. Coming back, wouldn't it be... ugh... He couldn't bear the thought of this.

"Look at your hypocrisy. You may not be as clean as these monsters. They are already level four monsters, and they are full of treasures. Why do you still dislike them?" Dafu expressed his contempt for Luo Lai's reaction.

"What the hell...I don't want to eat anyway, I want to eat you." Luo Lai's attitude was very firm.

"Forget it, there is a spring behind the house. Go and wash it, and then use the stone house's purification spell to purify it. This will be fine." Dafu had no choice but to propose a solution.

Luo Lai was still very disgusted and firmly opposed to eating these spiritual herbs.

Dafu advised: "You have to think about it this way. If I regain some strength, my lifespan will definitely be greatly increased. We have a contract to live together, and your lifespan will also increase accordingly. This is what the dying monks ask for." What an incredible opportunity, it’s worth feeling sick now.”

Luo Lai was convinced. Although extending his life is not an issue he urgently needs to consider now, compared with taking some elixirs that have been contained by monsters, it is still more cost-effective, vomit...

The old man reluctantly came to the back of the stone house and saw a small pool. He threw all the medicinal herbs into the pool and began to scrub hard. Of course, he would not use too much force. The elixirs were all delicate and would not work. Harming the vegetables will damage the efficacy of the medicine.

Luo Lai quickly washed the elixir. When he was about to return to the stone house, he found that there were many transparent crystals at the bottom of the pool. Out of curiosity, he took out one and looked at the sky. The quality was very good. , crystal clear, but without any energy surge. They should be ordinary crystals that can be taken back as ornaments, so he put all the crystals at the bottom of the pool into the Qiankun Bag. There were a lot of them, about a hundred or so. .

Returning to the stone house, he placed the herbs on the stone table. After waiting for a while, after the stone house's purification spell was activated, Luo Lai started to hold his nose and stuff it into his mouth.

At this moment, Dafu jumped out of the vase. There was a very flat cut at the bottom of the branch. It must have been cut violently. After thousands of years of cultivation, dense roots have grown near the cut, but All short.

Dafu shook his body and landed on the black stone, and his roots slowly penetrated into the black stone. But Black Stone didn't make any move, as if it didn't matter to Dafu's actions.

When all the roots were rooted in the black stone, Dafu also started to rotate slowly with the black stone. At this moment, the black stone was like a broken gem, and the dense roots inside seemed to be his cracks.

I have to say that Dafu was really overbearing. The stone statue and the Donghuang Bell that were originally in the center of the black stone were pushed into the corner by him, and only the candlestick remained motionless.

Luo Lai has eaten a lot of herbs, and the black stone has also converted some energy, which is being slowly absorbed by the roots.

"Dafu, is it useful? If it's not useful, I won't eat it. I'm vomiting..." Luo Lai still couldn't overcome the psychological barrier and retched while eating.

"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly." Dafu's cheerful voice came out.

It seemed to be really useful, but Luolai had no choice but to pinch his nose and eat wildly.

This time, the elixir collected by the monsters was of better quality and much larger quantity than what Luo Lai had collected himself. However, Luo Lai could not bear to eat it like cabbage and ate it all within a quarter of an hour.

All the transformed energy was also absorbed by the branches. Luo Lai looked at it for a long time and still didn't find any changes in the branches. It was still the same as before.

"What's going on? Is it useless? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I took all the elixir, vomit..." Luo Lai was very angry.

Unexpectedly, Dafu ignored him and swayed slowly.

Just when Luo Lai was impatient and wanted to continue talking, Dafu laughed wildly: "Hahaha, Uncle Shu finally sees the hope of recovery. From now on, I will still be the only Ancestral Tree in the world. My enemies, please tremble. , when I recover, I will bury you all in the soil as fertilizer."

"Dafu, is it really useful? Hahaha, tell me, how many years of life have been added?" This is what Luo Lai is most concerned about.

"Lifespan? What lifespan?" Dafu didn't understand.

"Didn't you say that restoring strength will greatly increase your lifespan? Are you lying to me?" Luo Lai was furious and grabbed Dafu with his big hand composed of mental power.

"Stop, stop, stop! Why are young people so irritable? You listen to my excuses, no, you listen to my explanation!" Dafu said quickly while looking at the big hand grabbing towards him.

"Hmph, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I'll make you miserable." The big hand didn't retract, it just hung above the black stone.

But Luo Lai waited for a long time, but Dafu still didn't speak.

"Hey, hurry up! Stop whining." Luo Lai was very impatient.

"Don't be anxious!" Dafu spoke shyly this time, with a hint of embarrassment.

I saw a leaf on the branch suddenly swelled up, and a head the size of a thumb popped out from under the leaf.

Um? Luo Lai was in a daze. What did he see? A lucky doll? He has a chubby little head, a bunch of dark green hair on his forehead, and a short neck. The most important thing is that he is wrapped in a big red bellyband, and there is a big Chinese character "福" blatantly written on the bellyband?

"Dafu? Is that you?" Luo Lai asked with some uncertainty.

"It's me. How about it? Doesn't my spirit body look good?" Dafu was a little proud, but he kept looking at Luo Lai's reaction.

"Good-looking! So good-looking!" Luo Lai laughed, smiling, but his eyes were a little dull. He thought about the photo of his lucky doll image. That photo has always been on the last page of the photo album at home. Every year, he My mother would take out the photo album and wipe it again.

Not just him, but probably most Chinese people in his grade already have a photo like this! Then when you grow up, you become the butt of jokes among your friends and loved ones.

Wiping the corners of his eyes, wiping away some of the sand inside, he regained his smile: "Not bad, not bad. Was this bellyband made for you by a nerd?"

Dafu, who was originally very angry at being teased, was a little proud. He raised his chin and said, "Of course, but it took a long time for the nerd to collect thousands of years of blood silk and sea red turtle skin to refine the magic weapon. As long as you wear this With this piece of armor, I will be immune to all evil, and nothing bad will happen to me, and my luck will become particularly good."

"Then why are you like this?" Luo Lai sneered at his words, but the big word "Fu" looked really happy.

"Hmph! That dog wasn't the cause of the trouble. It secretly wore this treasured armor while I was sleeping to watch the dog demon bathing in Tianchi. As a result, at that time, I was attacked without this treasured armor. Under the protection of the nerd, I was beaten to pieces. If it weren't for the nerd, I would have died long ago, but I still lost most of my body. Later, when the nerd came, he brought me this precious armor and said that he had already taken the armor. The dog is stewed! But I miss it a little now, and I want to tell it that I have forgiven it and am no longer angry with it." When Dafu talked about the dog, he felt angry, regretful, and a little nostalgic. His tone was choked up.
