In the Hotel room, daylight is blocked out by thick curtains.
Black Wolf, Bao Ye and Xiao Bei are sitting around Coffee Table.
The three of them had serious faces, and they looked up at the closed door from time to time, with a hint of urgency and uneasiness in their eyes.
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly, a crisp knock on the door broke the silence.
Black Wolf stood up quickly as if he was electrocuted.
He straightened his clothes first, and then walked towards the door. At the same time, he winked at Bao Ye and Xiao Bei, telling them to stay calm.
The door slowly opened, revealing a tall and handsome young man.
Fang Cheng stood at the door, looking at everyone in the room with some scrutiny.
He was wearing ordinary sportswear, with a leisurely and calm expression, but his whole body exuded an unpredictable Aura Field.
Black Wolf spoke first, with a slightly stiff smile on his face:
"My friend, I have taken the liberty to invite you over. I really have something to discuss, and I would like to have the honor to come in and talk to you."
Fang Cheng nodded slightly, and walked sideways into the room when the other party made an invitation gesture.
Just now I was enjoying breakfast at Hotel Dining Room and met this middle-aged man who had a "double relationship".
The two briefly chatted for a few words, and the other party spoke sincerely, saying that he had a very important matter to discuss with him in detail, which was said to involve a certain rare treasure leaked from Western Mountain Ancient Tomb.
These words aroused Fang Cheng's interest. Anyway, there is nothing important to worry about for the time being, so it doesn't hurt to listen to it.
So I accepted the appointment and went to the room where the other party lived, wanting to find out.
After he took his seat, Black Wolf also sat back and coughed lightly to break the deadlock:
"Friend, a batch of Antique cultural relics have been leaked from the Western Mountains recently, and various forces are competing for it. You must have heard about this, right?"
Seeing Fang Cheng nodding, Black Wolf organized his words and then said:
"To tell you the truth, we brothers originally wanted to get a share of the pie and set our sights on one of the Buddhist treasures named "Golden Benba Vase"."
Upon hearing this name, Fang Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, his face remained calm, and he listened patiently.
"It's just that we didn't expect that there were many other forces that were also eyeing this treasure. After several attempts, we lost a lot of people."
Black Wolf paused, pulled down the corners of his mouth, and squeezed out a wry smile, which made the wrinkles on his forehead deepen a bit.
"Now is the critical moment. We have invested a lot of resources in the early stage and the plan is well prepared. We are really unwilling to give up now. However, we are unfortunately short of manpower and it is unsustainable, so we would like to invite you, my friend, to work together on great things."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Fang Cheng with a solemn expression, vaguely showing expectation.
"Yes, this brother."
Bao Ye interrupted at the right time, patted Coffee Table with his fat palm, and the fat on his face shook a few times:
"We are now in a dilemma. Let's continue the attack. If we don't have enough manpower, we will definitely hit an egg with an egg. If we stop here, all the hard work we put in before will be in vain. The key problem is the lack of an effective general."
"I heard that you have extraordinary skills. Old Wolf's leg injury was so serious a few days ago, but you healed it in just a few strokes. Also, in Mist Mountain, Fire Bear's group of people were no match for you, and they were defeated by you chopping melons and vegetables. I admire this ability from the bottom of my heart."
His words flew up and down, and he did not hesitate to praise him at all.
Xiao Bei also nodded, looking at Fang Cheng with bright eyes:
"Brother, I was the one who offended you in the elevator a few days ago. You have a lot of money, but don't take it seriously. If you join us in this operation, our hopes will definitely be greatly increased!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Fang Cheng like a spotlight, waiting for his reply.
Fang Cheng chuckled lightly after hearing this and did not respond to them immediately.
Instead, he leaned back slightly and leaned on the back of the sofa, with a somewhat nonchalant look on his face.
After brewing his emotions for a moment, he slowly said:
"If it's just for something Antique I've never seen before, there's no need for me to risk my life and get involved in something like this, right?"
Black Wolf and Bao Ye were not surprised when they heard this. They looked at each other and quickly exchanged glances.
Finally, the eloquent Bao Ye acted as the lobbyist:
"Brother, you probably don't know the true value of Golden Benba Vase, right?"
Fang Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile:
"Is it going to be sold for money? Is it worth 100 million or 200 million?"
Bao Ye was slightly startled when he heard this, then his face was filled with a smile, and he waved his fat hand gently:
"Brother, you are looking down on Golden Benba Vase. How can this be simply measured by the amount of money?"
"It is a Buddhist treasure that has been lost for nearly two thousand years. Let's not talk about the historical and cultural significance behind it. Do you know what special role this treasure has for us Aberrant?"
After asking a few questions in a row, he deliberately put it off and rolled his eyes to observe the reaction on Fang Cheng's face.
Fang Cheng didn't say anything, he just crossed his arms and tapped his chin, gesturing for him to continue.
Seeing this, Bao Ye cleared his throat and said in a loud voice:
"We Aberrant have always been regarded as monsters by the outside world. Why?"
"It's not because we can't control the tendency of body mutation. The more frequently we use our abilities, the worse our mental state will be, and our bodies will develop various strange diseases. In the end, we will become Walking Corpse zombies and become complete monsters!"
Having said this, he leaned forward slightly and raised his tone again.
"But if you have Golden Benba Vase, it will be completely different."
"Esoteric Sect Those Lamas, in order to gain strength, support various Guardian Evil Gods and practice heretic spells. Normally, they should have been punished by God, but they can remain safe and sound. Do you know why?"
While he was asking and answering himself, his eyes showed an uncontrollable enthusiasm.
"Because each Esoteric Sect Dharma lineage will enshrine a piece of Saint Relic, which is used to condense nectar and Empowerment ordain. It not only has the effect of Purification's soul, but can also cleanse the body and eliminate the negative effects caused by excessive use of Esper Ability."
"Even when some eminent monks are dying, they can retain their soul consciousness through Saint Relic and achieve the miracle of reincarnation."
"This kind of Sacred Object is called Golden Benba Vase in the Esoteric Sect. It has always been a treasure of the religion and is kept secret."
"Of course, what they have are just imitations. The ancient artifact unearthed from the Western Mountains is the first genuine Golden Benba Vase in history."
"And in this Golden Benba Vase, it is said that there is Sarira formed by the death of Living Buddha, which contains the spiritual power left after the incineration of the body. As long as it is absorbed, the strength will be doubled!"
Having said this, Bao Ye paused, staring closely at Fang Cheng, trying to catch a trace of heartbeat from his face.
Seeing that Fang Cheng's expression did not change, he reluctantly gave up, then Slow Down slowed down his speech and said seriously:
"Brother, I know you have concerns, but think about how rare this opportunity is. If you miss it, you will never get it again."
"Right now, we just need a capable helper like you. As long as you are willing to join the team, you will naturally be a part of the benefits when things are done."
Fang Cheng leaned back on the sofa, lowered his eyes slightly, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
The generous returns described by Bao Ye sound very tempting, but when you think about it carefully, you feel something is wrong.
Let's just say that this bottle claims to be able to curb physical mutations and cure mental illness. It is indeed fatally attractive to ordinary aliens.
But Fang Cheng is different from them. He has a unique Panel. By practicing skills consistently and mastering Special Abilities, the negative effects of Esper Ability can be alleviated to a great extent.
So at this point, Golden Benba Vase's advantages are greatly reduced.
As for the function of soul Reincarnation reincarnation, this invisible and intangible thing, no one knows whether it can really work until the moment of death.
There is also Living Buddha Sarira, which is said to be hidden in a bottle and can improve abilities. It is indeed an incredible treasure.
But if you compare it with the Ancient Remains you already have, it seems to be insufficient.
The Life Energy contained in those Ancient Remainss is enough to last you for many years under normal circumstances.
Therefore, this treasure, which is extremely valuable in the eyes of others and is worth fighting for to the death, is not so attractive to me Gravity.
I can only say that it is unsatisfactory.
The key is that Fang Cheng also learned some inside information from Xu Sanduo, which made him more cautious about Golden Benba Vase.
This Buddhist treasure involves too many conflicts of interest, especially the mysterious Esoteric Sect and Noble Clan. If you are not careful, you may get burned.
Although he is not afraid of fighting, he even desires to improve Skill Experience through fighting.
But in this complicated situation, there is really no need to wade through troubled waters for a treasure that is not indispensable to you.
Thinking of this, Fang Cheng shook his head slightly, already making a decision in his heart.
Just as he was about to politely refuse, Black Wolf suddenly spoke up, staring at Fang Cheng:
"Friend, I would like to ask, you should not belong to the Noble Clan, right?"
Fang Cheng was startled for a moment, then nodded and asked:
"Whether he is from the Noble Clan or not, does it have anything to do with you seeking cooperation with me?"
Black Wolf quickly waved his hand and explained:
"You misunderstood. I'm not doubting your identity. I just want to tell you that there may be an extremely important secret hidden about Golden Benba Vase."
Fang Cheng Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he waited quietly for Black Wolf's next words.
Black Wolf paused and then said:
"Since the birth of Golden Benba Vase, the main contenders for this treasure have been us scattered Aberrants. Those Conglomerates Influential Familiess have not shown much enthusiasm. Even Lu Family, who got this treasure, is planning to take it to the auction. Do you know why?"
His eyes were intense and his voice was slightly low.
"The answer is simple, because they don't need to!"
"Noble Clan has a long heritage and profound foundation. They have long had a special set of methods to deal with physical mutations and mental illnesses."
"As for this Buddhist treasure, for those Noble Clan disciples, the only ones who can absorb Gravity may be the Sarira left in it."
After hearing this, Fang Cheng's mind suddenly flashed back to the origin of the so-called "monsters" in this world that he had heard Smiling Devil talk about before.
He has always been curious about what kind of mysterious power Noble Clan possesses that allows them to successfully get rid of their status as monsters and even rise to the top of society openly.
Black Wolf seemed to see through Fang Cheng's thoughts, and then asked again:
"You must be curious as to how Noble Clan can maintain long-term prosperity after hundreds of years, and the family members are not troubled by mutations, right?"
Seeing that Fang Cheng was attracted by his words, he smiled slightly, and instead of deliberately showing off like Bao Ye, he directly stated the reason:
"As far as I know, there are two main factors here."
"First, Noble Clan has been inherited in an orderly manner and the family has strong cohesion. Generations have been actively engaged in official careers or business, gathering some elusive human luck to alleviate the problems caused by the use of Esper Ability."
"Secondly, and most importantly, they possess a mysterious and special method."
When Black Wolf said this, he paused slightly, his eyes revealed a sense of yearning and awe, and his tone of voice unconsciously became heavier.
"They were able to carve out a unique Secret Realm in the spiritual world, and then gathered the strength of the whole family to continuously expand and build this Secret Realm through generation after generation."
"What's amazing is that the changes in the spiritual world, over time, can have a subtle impact on Real World. What's even more amazing is that through the continuation of Blood Vessels, the Supernatural abilities bred in the Secret Realm can be passed down from generation to generation, allowing Noble Clan's children to stand at a higher starting point than others from birth."
"It is precisely because they have this unique Inheritance Secret Realm to rely on that they can safely use Supernatural's abilities, surpassing many Aberrant, and always remain at the top of society."
Black Wolf was in a slightly high mood, straightening his back slightly and his eyes were vaguely shining.
"And Golden Benba Vase may contain such a secret."
"In a sense, Esoteric Sect is another form of the Noble Clan, but what connects each member is not family and Blood Vessels, but sect and belief."
"This kind of secret is insignificant to the Noble Clan, but for us Aberrant at the bottom, it is an opportunity enough to change Fate."
"If we can find out the secret, we can also hope to build a new Noble Clan in the future and completely get rid of the current predicament!"
After hearing these words, Fang Cheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking of something that happened to him.
Although Black Wolf, Bao Ye and Xiao Bei, who were sitting across from each other, did not continue to speak, their facial expressions showed nervousness and they stared at Fang Cheng without blinking.
The atmosphere in the house Inner Energy was so solemn that it seemed like water could drip from it.
After a moment, Fang Cheng raised his eyes and asked a question:
"There is only one piece of Golden Benba Vase. How should we distribute it among the four of us?"
Bao Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this and he immediately answered:
"This Buddhist treasure has been buried underground for two thousand years and has become ownerless. Whoever can crack the secret will be in control. However, other members also have the right to use it. As for other trophies, they will be distributed fairly according to their contribution."
Fang Cheng finally nodded and agreed to join the team.
But the prerequisite is that you must have a certain say in the team.
At critical moments, all of them must obey their own orders. After all, the risks they will face in the future are unpredictable, and they cannot give up their own safety to others.
Black Wolf and others are all right.
With one more supporter, you have a greater chance of winning.
The tension in everyone's hearts relaxed a bit, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
Black Wolf looked at Fang Cheng with eager eyes and asked with some intimacy:
"Brother, what shall I call you from now on?"
Fang Cheng thought for a moment and said calmly:
"Just call me White Ghost."
"White Ghost? What a name!"
Black Wolf thought about it for a moment and then praised it.
Bao Ye and Xiao Bei also smiled and nodded slightly.
