The high priest nodded slightly. Wang Chu was not disturbed by the treasures so close at hand and remained humble and polite. This was what he was most satisfied with.
Before, he felt that Wang Chu was gradually moving away from him during the march, and most of Wang Chu's attention was on the passage. After a little guessing, he understood Wang Chu's concerns.
Although he has never left his ancestral land, he can know from the recent news brought back by various hunting teams that the outside world is in chaos and the situation is grim.
Without a common and powerful enemy, human civil strife is inevitable. This is a prophecy left by our ancestors long ago.
So he didn't feel strange about Wang Chu's suspicion, and even thought it was normal.
He also wanted to understand the habits of human beings in the outside world through getting along with Wang Chu, so that he could emphasize to the tribe what they should pay attention to when entering the outside world in the future.
Although Wang Chu didn't have many bad qualities, what he focused on most happened to be sensitive issues, so he still gained a lot.
Perhaps because of this reason, he is more tolerant of Wang Chu.
When the stone door opened, Wang Chu was not so excited that he entered first. This was polite and a smart choice.
The high priest did not pretend to be mysterious, tightened his linen coat, entered the dark room, opened the door of the medicine storehouse, and then stopped at the door.
Wang Chu slowly walked into the medicine warehouse. All he saw were ancient medicinal materials that had only been seen in classics. Almost all the main medicinal materials used to refine high-grade elixirs could be found here.
This kind of knowledge would make people jealous in the outside world, but among the barbarians, it is simply a waste of natural resources. If the ancient medicine is swallowed directly, the efficacy of the medicine cannot be fully exerted, and it is difficult for the human body to fully absorb it. Only by refining it into elixir can it be used to its fullest extent. value.
"Passionate wood, blue blood black, acupuncture grass, Yanxunfeiyu, these high-quality medicinal materials I have been searching for for a long time in the outside world but have not received any real information, but there are so many here?" Wang Chu couldn't help but sigh.
"Among the names of our barbarians, the names of these ancient medicines have changed, but I should also adapt to the times and take whatever I like." The high priest said boldly.
Wang Chu walked through the rows of medicine shelves and felt the urge to keep them all for himself, but he still tried his best to resist.
"Senior, are these medicinal materials still grown in the mountains and forests nearby?" Wang Chu asked.
"Of course, there is a specially opened medicine garden one mile to the southeast. Some of the elite members of the clan are stationed there. You may not have a chance to see it this time." The high priest said solemnly.
Wang Chu made a decision and said bluntly: "There is no need to calculate the reward this time. After I leave, I will arrange for my men to collect the flesh and blood of sea beasts and refine the elixirs as much as possible. I will use the current market price to exchange the medicinal materials with my seniors and make progress together."
"This is best. If you are interested, the weapons warehouse opposite can also be opened." The high priest smiled.
Wang Chu knew in his heart that the high priest had planned this from the beginning, otherwise he would not have been interested. Of course, this was also a win-win choice.
After visiting all the medicine shelves, Wang Chu had selected ten ancient medicines and put them into the space ring before leaving. The high priest had already obtained a blood ganoderma and he wanted to hand it over to Jiuyou himself.
It can be said that after a visit to the medicine warehouse, Wang Chu has recognized all the medicinal materials as his own. As long as he arranges them properly, as long as the barbarians can develop smoothly.
The two stood in front of the stone door again. The high priest took off the sword talisman and the stone door slowly closed. Wang Chu's eyes were always staring at the small scarlet door directly opposite.
The aura emanating from the door made him feel extremely dangerous. He could pretend to ignore it before, but with the isolation, he had to pay more attention.
Wang Chu did not move his eyes away until the lights in the dark room went out. He could not see anything, and he knew that even if he released his spiritual thoughts, he would not be able to penetrate the barrier of the Scarlet Gate, but he still couldn't help but stare.
"Take heart, even I don't know what the existence inside is. I hope it never comes out." The high priest sighed.
Wang Chu looked away without realizing it, and unknowingly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
When assessing the threat of a sect or force, one cannot look at their demonstrated strength. What needs to be most valued should be their hidden strength.
The evaluation criteria of the Special Investigation Bureau are really helpless. No matter how powerful the commissioner is, he cannot penetrate everything. He can only make judgments based on superficial threats, which may mislead many sects and forces.
Nowadays, the chaos among the sects has not reached the end of the war. Many sects still have reservations, but if the situation is unfavorable, they will fight to the death, and there is no telling how many terrifying demons and monsters will be released.
I hope that when the time comes, the sects will not vent their anger on the Special Investigation Bureau, otherwise the Wumen, which is both prosperous and prosperous with the Special Investigation Bureau, will not be able to stay out of the matter.
Wang Chu and the high priest returned the same way. This time, Wang Chu felt much more relaxed. At least he had confirmed the high priest's thoughts, and the existence of suppression within the Scarlet Gate had made no mistakes for so long, so he would never betray them. Maybe something went wrong now.
When Wang Chu walked out of the huge mouth of the turtle statue, he found that the sky was gloomy and it started to rain. The rain was not light and the wind was not light. I don't know if it was the special weather in the secret realm or it was affected by the outside world.
There are many swimming fish jumping out of the water in the lake, adding a sense of life to the dead lake.
"I didn't feel there were fish in the lake when I came here." Wang Chu said in surprise.
The high priest inserted the scepter into the right eye of the stone statue, and the turtle's mouth slowly closed.
"Swimming down the river, you only see such a scene when it rains. In the past, my people would quickly gather people to catch fish. Today, it is probably because you sent a lot of sea animal meat, so they didn't pay attention. It seems that I cannot rely solely on your supplies, otherwise my people will only develop the habit of getting something for nothing." The high priest thought.
"Senior, please pass the Blood Lingzhi to Jiuyou on my behalf. Can I go up the river?" Wang Chu had doubts, so he asked.
The high priest did not object. To be honest, his current strength is indeed stronger than Wang Chu, but in terms of knowledge and vision, he is still inferior. Since Wang Chu is willing to explore, he will naturally not refuse.
The two parted temporarily here, and the high priest walked slowly to Stone Village while enjoying the gift of rain.
Wang Chu, on the other hand, was as fast as lightning, breaking through the rain curtain and going upstream along the river. Along the way, he could see the swimming fish rolling in the river. Some little monsters were waiting by the river to pick out the fat fish. As long as they jumped out of the water, they would pounce on them. , bite tightly and don’t let go.
But today they probably won't be satisfied, because Wang Chu made too much noise, and the monster beasts along the river fled one after another, and even some monster beasts that were rushing to the river had to stop halfway.
Haven't barbarians never gone up the river for many years?Isn't this the only remaining tacit understanding?Why should we break this unwritten agreement today?
This is the doubt in the hearts of many monsters. They are angry, but they are helpless, because even if they gather together, they are no match for the barbarians now. They are just lingering.
