"???" Ma Hongjun looked at the paper in his hand in confusion, "Wholesale list of exorcism tea? This tea is not free."
"Of course it's not free." Gu You put his hands on his hips and said to Ma Hongjun and Flanders who leaned over to watch.
Seeing the price written on it, Flanders cried out in distress: "Fifteen gold soul coins for one cup. Is this tea made of gold?"
Gu Youle said, "This is an exclusive recipe, and it uses precious medicines. The cost of one cup is at least ten gold soul coins. With the exclusive configuration method, fifteen gold soul coins is very cost-effective. According to your current situation, you should drink at least two cups a day."
"Drink it if you want or not, if you think it's expensive, I think it's too expensive too."
Ma Hongjun asked: "I'm sorry, we may not be able to afford this price, is there any other way?"
"Yes." Gu You took the paper back and handed over a new piece of paper.
"Here, the indenture, sign it."
------------
ps: Sunshine Blue Silver Ice Water Twin Exorcism Tea, the recipe includes: blue silver grass that absorbs sunlight energy, a variety of water-attribute herbs, a small amount of ice-attribute herbs, and neutral herbs to harmonize the medicinal properties.
It needs to be prepared using the Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique, and is a medicine specially prepared by Tang San for the evil fire. It can effectively suppress the evil attribute.
By the way, this tea tastes terrible and is very bitter. It is impossible for a normal person to drink it. If it were not for the honey that was used to adjust the taste to make it drinkable, it would be a complete failure.
Please recommend me and ask for monthly tickets~~~
Chapter 264 Original Return
"Selling body indenture?" x2
My goodness, the indenture has come out, the truth is revealed, right?
To be honest, both Ma Hongjun and Flanders were very grateful to Gu You and Tang San.
For Ma Hongjun, this cup of tea saved his career as a soul master and allowed him to continue living as a soul master.
As for Flanders, Gu You Tang San not only saved his disciple, but also helped him see the true face of Yu Xiaogang to a certain extent, and did not let him continue to destroy his students. This kindness is difficult to repay.
However, even with such a great favor, Ma Hongjun was not prepared to sign this thing. Deeply influenced by Flanders, he valued freedom very much. Flanders did not use his cultivation to exchange for a high noble status, and Ma Hongjun was not prepared to sell himself to save money.
Not knowing that Flanders was prepared to break the rules in order to heal himself, Ma Hongjun planned to buy on credit first, and then pay off the debt on his own after graduation.
However, he still wanted to see what conditions Gu You could offer in this indenture.
Selling yourself for ten years, buying tea at cost price. Selling yourself for twenty years, buying tea at 30% off. Selling yourself for fifty years, buying tea at 50% off?
No matter how excessive it is, can it be more excessive than a cup of tea for fifteen gold soul coins?
It took three minutes to finish reading the content, and the two gradually fell into silence. Flanders glanced at Gu You, who was playing with his fingers, patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, and shook his head at him.
Ma Hongjun regained consciousness, took a few deep breaths, and nodded firmly. He said to Gu You: "Sorry, I can't accept this condition."
Gu You didn't even raise his head, and played with his fingers attentively, as if there was something dirty between his fingernails. "Why, I think the conditions I offered are not excessive."
"You're right, this condition is not excessive." Ma Hongjun looked at the indenture in his hand, "But it's too good, so good that I'm not qualified to sign my name."
"Free and unlimited supply of exorcism tea, regular checks on the effects of evil fire, suggestions for subsequent martial arts development, and most importantly..." Ma Hongjun paused, "help me solve the evil fire problem permanently."
"The price for this condition is just 'When you two need it, I will provide you with unconditional support and you cannot refuse for any reason.'"
"This is too... expensive. I can't sign it."
The first item alone, "free unlimited exorcism tea", was enough to convince the cash-strapped Ma Hongjun to pledge his loyalty to the two. After experiencing the relaxation after drinking tea, Ma Hongjun did not want to go back to the past feeling of having a heavy stone on his body.
Regular inspections of the evil fire's influence were not bad, and Ma Hongjun didn't care much about the subsequent martial spirit development suggestions. The person in front of him was only the same age as himself, so what advice could he give at this age? The former "master" Yu Xiaogang could make him look like this with just one spirit ring, and if he messed up the next spirit ring again, he would definitely be ruined.
The fourth item, “permanently solving the evil fire problem”, was more important than the first item, or even the first three items combined. It was this item that was the reason why Ma Hongjun did not dare to put his name on the paper.
Unlike Flanders who trusted but not that much, Ma Hongjun really believed that the two people in front of him could completely solve his evil fire problem.
It was because he truly believed it that Ma Hongjun couldn't do it.
In the past, Yu Xiaogang asked him to eat ice cubes, which could only suppress the outbreak of evil fire, and the burning in his internal organs did not ease at all. These two asked him to drink a cup of tea. Regardless of whether it tasted good or not, the effect was better than chewing an iceberg. With such an obvious contrast, who else could I trust if I didn't trust them?
"You underestimate your talent, Ma Hongjun." Gu You raised his head and looked directly at Ma Hongjun. "I'm not doing charity. Since I've given you this condition, I'm sure I can make it back from you."
The innate ninth-level soul power, the phoenix martial soul, the power of evil fire, a soul master who possesses any one of them is qualified to call himself a genius.
Ma Hongjun possesses all three at the same time. Even if the evil fire has side effects, as long as he grows normally and is not as lazy as in the original work, the possibility of breaking through to the Title Douluo is not low. And as long as the breakthrough is successful, the attack power will be ranked among the top among the Title Douluo.
It is even mentioned in the original book that Ma Hongjun will become a second-level god, the God of Phoenix, in the future. As a second-level god, his attack power is comparable to that of a first-level god, which is enough to prove how strong his talent is.
Even if he stood at the gate of Tiandou Royal Academy with a loud speaker, playing the song "Follow me, I have something to announce, I am a genius among geniuses, and you are all trash", at most he would only be beaten up, and no one would be able to refute this statement.
"Besides, do you think that I added this condition because I felt pity for your unfortunate fate?"
"You earned this opportunity yourself."
Gu You took out the notebook that Lanta had just written, shook it, and had a faint smile on his face, "You don't think I'm just chatting when I ask you these questions."
He did not indulge in the pleasure of releasing power, but rather enjoyed the relief of getting rid of the influence of evil attributes in that moment. This was the reason why Gu You was willing to help him get rid of the influence of the evil fire.
If Ma Hongjun chose to indulge in the pleasure brought by power in his answer, Gu You would never have taken out the "indenture". It would have been just a wholesale list, and he could sign it if he wanted to, or not.
"Sign it, and remember, this is your blessing."
This is Douluo Continent, not the magic world, there is no such thing as a life and death contract. The paper in Ma Hongjun's hand is really just a piece of paper, without any "contract" function. Whether the "contract" on it can be reached depends entirely on whether both parties want it or not.
After all, this contract has no binding force. When Gu You helps Ma Hongjun cure the evil fire, he will turn around and run away with the bucket, and there will be no heavenly punishment or thunder to kill him.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun felt that the thin piece of paper in his hand was as heavy as Mount Tai. Gu You's heavy trust was heavier than the evil fire, making him feel a little breathless.
The voice that came to his ears seemed like a devil that led people to fall, or an angel that sang hymns. In a trance, Ma Hongjun picked up the pen and signed his name in the position of Party B.
"Very good." The next second after signing his name, Gu You instantly took the paper from Ma Hongjun's hand. Looking at the "indenture" in his hand,
Through the "sell body contract", Gu You seemed to be watching an excellent tool man who worked voluntarily for life without salary, working day and night to heat Tang San's beloved small stove with 007 working hours. Soul guide bases with different patterns were continuously produced like an assembly line.
"Xiaoyou, drool."
Tang San couldn't stand it anymore, and quietly nudged Gu You to let him pay attention to his image. Gu You wiped his face, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, took out a small iron box, solemnly put the paper in and locked it.
"Well, now that the contract has been signed, I have to show off my real abilities. Ata."
"Yes, big brother." Ranta quickly wiped the blackboard, wrote "Plan 1: Original Return" on the blackboard, and handed two new reports to Ma Hongjun and Flanders respectively.
"After a whole night of deep thought and heated discussion, Xiao San, Ata, and I finally prepared three feasible plans to deal with the evil attributes of the martial soul Evil Fire Phoenix."
"The report in your hand is Plan 1: Original Return."
As the two were reading, Gu You introduced: "Your current martial soul, the Evil Fire Phoenix, was due to a mistake during the mutation. In addition to the fire attribute, the evil attribute was awakened, and it eventually evolved into the current Evil Fire Phoenix."
"In the final analysis, all the current problems are caused by the evil attribute. As long as you find a way to deal with the evil attribute, your problems will be solved."
"You have plan one, returning to the original form. Find a way to get rid of the evil attributes in your Evil Fire Phoenix and return it to its original form. That will completely solve the Evil Fire problem from the root."
"By using pure fire-attributed treasures, you can increase the fire attribute in your body, and use the fire attribute with increased purity to burn away the evil attribute. Then, you can transform from an evil fire phoenix into a true fire phoenix."
"I see, returning to the original state is indeed very appropriate." Flanders nodded, acknowledging the feasibility of Plan 1. But there is a problem, that is...
"Where can I get this pure fire-attributed treasure? Will you give it to me?"
Yes, this is the crux of the matter. In order to open the academy, Flanders had emptied out his retirement savings, and he wished he could break a gold soul coin in half. Even if such a natural treasure really came out and was auctioned at an auction house, he wouldn't be able to pay a penny.
If it were the alchemy world view next door, it would be okay. Ambush along the way would be commonplace. As long as you were strong and could fly fast, you could just make a bag with two holes in it and put it on your head, and no one would know who the robber was.
But Douluo can't do that. Putting aside other things, just the few glowing rings around him meant that a soul master without special talents couldn't afford to steal. It was useless to be able to fly. There were only a few soul masters with seven rings and wings in the whole continent. If they came one by one, Flanders couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
Flanders had never thought of going to look for it himself. There were many soul saints who could fly in the world, and Flanders didn't think he could get what they couldn't get.
Faced with this very realistic problem, Gu You’s answer was: “Ah, you are worried about this, we have it.”
"Ah?" Flanders stared at Gu You in amazement, "You have it?"
"Correct."
"A pure fire-attributed treasure?"
"Correct."
A pure fire-attributed natural treasure, no, any natural treasure, even if it is of the second-rate, will be sold at a sky-high price in the auction house.
When the Iron Triangle was still traveling around, Flanders had heard that someone was auctioning the longevity fruit, one of the rare treasures, at the Xingluo City Auction House.
You know, the Longevity Fruit is a natural treasure that is useless to soul masters and can only be eaten by ordinary people. Its effect is only to extend life by ten years and has no therapeutic effect on diseases. However, countless sects and families have rushed to Xingluo City one after another to get this treasure.
It can be said that at that time, except for the Haotian Sect which closed its mountain gate, all other well-known major forces gathered in Xingluo City, including Prince Xuexing of the Tiandou Royal Family and Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
Because the Golden Triangle had not yet become famous, Flanders was unable to enter the auction to see the Longevity Fruit. According to rumors, in the bloody bidding, the treasure was obtained by the Xingluo royal family, who had the advantage of the location, and in the end no one knew who ate the treasure.
The Xingluo royal family, one of the two great empires, had to pay a huge price to obtain these rare treasures. How can you, a mere Soul Master, have the nerve to say that you have treasures of the same level?
Noticing the disbelief in Flanders' eyes, Gu You was not angry. He did not intend to let Flanders believe it, but said calmly: "Unfortunately, after careful analysis by the three of us, we finally believe that this plan is too unfeasible. Unless it is extremely necessary, it is not recommended to choose it."
Gu You's words shocked Ma Hongjun and Flanders. You came up with a solution yourself, but then you rejected it. How ridiculous!
Ma Hongjun asked hurriedly: "Why? What is the price to exchange for this rare treasure? I am willing to pay it with the rest of my life."
Ma Hongjun thought this plan was pretty good and feasible. In his opinion, the only difficulty was getting the fire-attributed treasure.
Since Gu You said that he has this treasure, it means that the most difficult step has been solved. What remains is to use the treasures of heaven and earth to clear away the evil attributes in the martial soul. What's so difficult about that?
Gu You shook his head. "You two, the difficulty of this plan is not the natural treasures, but you and the Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun."
"The evil attribute is highly compatible with negative attributes such as darkness and poison. You were provoked by Yu Xiaogang and forced to use your third soul skill."
"It's all right now. The evil attribute in your body has merged with the dark attribute and resides in your third soul ring."
"This means that no matter what level your flame reaches, as long as this third spirit ring is still there, the evil attribute can completely hide in the spirit ring, waiting for the day when you reveal your flaws."
"When it appears again, facing the more powerful evil attributes, can you still maintain your clear self when you can no longer raise the flame?"
If it was Ma Hongjun before the battle yesterday, as long as he paid a little price and exchanged the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower used in the original book from Dugu Bo, even if Ma Hongjun's third soul ring had problems, there was a high probability that he could successfully deal with the evil attribute that had not yet developed.
Given Ma Hongjun's current condition, facing the evil attribute strengthened by the dark attribute, a cockscomb sunflower is unlikely to be able to handle it. He will have to use the Fiery Apricot with a higher purity of fire attribute.
Ideally, after taking the Fiery Apricot, Ma Hongjun would quickly raise the fire attribute in his body to the extreme fire level, and burn it clean in an instant while the evil attribute had no time to react.
But if it fails, the evil attribute hiding in the third soul ring will be like the cancer cells remaining in Ma Hongjun's martial soul. It will not be cleaned up and will quietly steal a home in the depths of the dark attribute. When it appears again, Ma Hongjun will be really finished.
Moreover, Dugu Bo would not let Ma Hongjun eat the Fiery Apricot. He was still waiting for someone who had eaten both herbs to come to his rescue. Giving it to Ma Hongjun alone would be like asking for his life.
Ma Hongjun was very angry and regretted that he should not have stood up after being provoked by Yu Xiaogang. He didn't win, but he made it seem like he was fighting for him. The key point was that he made his problem worse.
"So, plan one will be temporarily listed as an alternative plan." In Gu You's relaxed voice, Ranta drew a big cross on plan one and wrote "plan two: chaos ritual" below it.
"The next step is plan two, the chaos ritual that interweaves light and darkness."
