Chapter 489 Trading
Pei Yun brought Chu Zewen to the back garden. Chu Zewen looked slightly dazed. Before he could speak, Pei Yun said, "I know you have a lot of questions to ask me. I will answer the one you are most concerned about first."
After he finished speaking, Pei Yun raised one hand and cast a spell towards the artificial river not far away. The next moment, the calm water surface suddenly surged, and the water in the middle of the river surged up and condensed into a huge water dragon in the air, roaring and soaring into the sky...
Under Chu Zewen's shocked gaze, the water dragon circled in the air for a moment, then swooped down towards him with great power. Chu Zewen subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he found that his feet seemed to have taken root and he could not move at all.
At the critical moment, the water dragon condensed by the river water collapsed instantly, scattering into water droplets, dripping into the river like drizzle.
At this time, the water surface was frozen by an invisible force and condensed into thin ice. A golden light appeared in the center. Finally, this golden light seemed to break through the frost on the river surface and transformed into a golden lotus on the river surface...
It took no more than half a quarter of an hour from beginning to end, but the spectacular scene and the might of a raging flood kept Chu Zewen from coming back to his senses for a long time. When he fully woke up and looked at Pei Yun, there was a hint of fear in the depths of his eyes.
This is the fear of the weak towards the strength of the strong!
"This is my answer. If I had any ill will towards you, the base, or this planet, you wouldn't be standing in front of me and talking to me right now."
Pei Yun sat leisurely on a rattan chair beside him, looking at the person in front of him.
Chu Zewen remained silent for a long time. He raised his black eyes, and a hint of ambiguity flashed across them, mixed with a hint of relief.
Because from Pei Yun's move just now, he could see that this person had no intention of being an enemy of them. Her move was both a deterrent and a show of goodwill. Otherwise, this method would not be used on this river, but on himself, the person in charge of the base.
"...Senior, are you not from Yuanxing?" After Chu Zewen regained his composure, he sat opposite Pei Yun and began to negotiate.
Pei Yun was surprised to see that the person in front of her adjusted himself so quickly. His neither humble nor arrogant attitude made her look at him with new eyes.
"I am indeed not from the origin planet. I came to this planet by accident. I cannot tell you the specific reason, at least not for now. However, I have no interest in occupying planets or seizing resources. I just want to go home."
Pei Yun said frankly, "...I need meteorites, those meteorites from outer space."
"Meteorite?!" Chu Zewen frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised.
"As long as you can provide me with meteorites, I can give you treasures that are not available in this world, as well as cultivation techniques..."
When Chu Zewen heard the words "cultivation technique", a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He straightened his back unconsciously and stared at Pei Yun with bright eyes.
Pei Yun smiled and said, "The superpowers in your world are still in the process of exploring. There is no mature cultivation system. You just think that as you replenish more energy, you can improve when you reach a certain stage. It can be said that it is all based on feeling. But with the cultivation method I gave you, the speed of your improvement can be accelerated ten or a hundred times, and your life span can be extended..."
No one in this world, including herself, can escape the shackles of "lifespan", so how can one not be tempted by the way to immortality! Chu Zewen is no exception.
"Okay." He agreed without any hesitation, but still asked, "What do you want the meteorite for, Senior?"
"go home."
Seeing that Pei Yun said those two words lightly and was not going to explain any further, Chu Zewen said, "...I will give the order. From now on, the teams of the Third Base will give priority to searching for meteorites in K City. As for the terms of the transaction..."
"I will post the specific transaction conditions and methods on the local forum later. If you need to trade, you can come here to find me directly..."
Pei Yun said, "I will make a deal with you now." As she spoke, a jade slip appeared out of thin air in her hand. Chu Zewen saw it for the first time and was shocked. Then he heard her say, "This is a top-grade yellow-level internal energy method. It can be practiced from the Qi Refining Stage to the Golden Core Stage."
"Internal strength and mental method?"
"I will announce the level and system of cultivation on the forum later. I will make a deal with you for this inner strength method."
"What deal?"
"Spread the news that I need meteorites. This planet is so big, and meteorites are scattered all over the world. How can I collect enough meteorites relying on the superpowers of the Third Base? Don't you have a headquarters? You can report the matter to them. You don't have to hide your identity. Just let as many superpowers as possible know that I need meteorites..."
"can."
Pei Yun raised her hand slightly, and the jade slip floated in the air, shooting a beam of white light onto Chu Zewen's forehead. She said, "I will only teach you once how to use your spiritual sense to read the jade slip."
Chu Zewen subconsciously closed his eyes, and strange runes and illusions instantly appeared in his mind. A faint warm current seemed to flow through his meridians...
Chu Zewen practiced for a whole night, and when he woke up, he was already in the back garden of his villa. He had not slept all night, but he felt that he was in very good condition, full of energy and not tired at all.
The two villas were next to each other. He glanced at the back garden where Pei Yun lived not far away. It was empty and the river surface had returned to its former calm. The water dragon and golden lotus from last night were all an illusion.
However, Chu Zewen had already memorized yesterday's transaction with Pei Yun and the book of internal energy.
He was about to go back to the house when he heard some movement in the garden next to him. Xu Liu and He Ying walked into the back garden. They stretched themselves and one of them said, "The air here is much fresher than on the other side. Seeing such a beautiful view so early in the morning makes us feel very happy..."
One said: "There is also a hearty breakfast to eat, as if we have returned to the good life before the end of the world..."
Chu Zewen heard this, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and walked into the villa...
Early in the morning, Chu Zewen came to the conference hall and told the senior executives present about his conversation with Pei Yun last night...
Everyone was shocked! After hearing that Chu Zewen had obtained the so-called "internal strength method", a mature cultivation system, and a longer life span... Chu Zewen didn't need to say anything more, and the people present were all excited. Threats, aliens, etc., were all thrown aside in the face of the way to immortality...
"Everyone, Pei Yun said that the conditions and method of the exchange will be announced soon. You can go directly to the villa where she lives to exchange..." Chu Zewen said.
Li Yi looked at Chu Zewen with sparkling eyes: "Old Chu, what is the purpose of that internal energy method? Can it help us in our cultivation? Tell us about it!" Others also looked at him expectantly.
Chu Zewen was a little embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't say it. He just explained as best as he could:
"The inner strength I got from the jade slip is probably different from what I said out loud. It's like I can understand it but I can't explain it. I'm afraid it's because I haven't fully understood it yet. I can feel that this inner strength should improve our genetic level, so that the body can reach the state of 'harmony between man and nature' as the ancients said. Senior Pei said that every time you break through a level, your life span will double..."
"Does our base still have meteorites? Why don't we find Pei Yun to exchange them first!" Someone couldn't wait to exchange them.
"...There is a meteorite in the laboratory, which was requested from the headquarters. Why don't we exchange it with Pei Yun to see what other treasures she has!"
"But Dr. Gong and his team are studying the meteorite in the laboratory..."
"What are you still researching? This senior has made a deal with Chief Chu, asking him to spread the news that she needs meteorites as soon as possible. By then, there will be a lot of people coming to exchange them, and our third base will not have an advantage. Not to mention, it will only take us half a day for the people from the first and second bases in K City to reach us..."
Everyone turned their eyes to Chu Zewen. Chu Zewen thought for a moment, then instructed Li Yi and Yang Weimin: "You two go to the laboratory and explain the reason to Dr. Gong and the others. We will take the meteorite to Senior Pei before noon..."
