Chapter 2465 - 2465 Formula in exchange for information (1)



Tang Zhen looked at the old man and spoke in an indifferent tone.

The old man was delighted when he heard this. He immediately extended three withered fingers and waved them in front of Tang Zhen.

I’ll pay three gold coins. It’s a fair price!

When he gave the price, the old man’s mouth had a trace of pride, probably because he felt that his price was sincere enough.

“Hehe, you’d better go as far away as you can. We really don’t lack those gold coins!”

Before Tang Zhen could speak, er Gou suddenly interrupted him with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

If it had been before they went to ghost city, perhaps one gold coin would have been enough to make ergou work for him.

In this world, the purchasing power of a gold coin was very strong, and the total wealth of many families added up was not even worth a gold coin.

The old man’s offer was very sincere. After an ordinary person had three gold coins, they could live a good life for a while.

However, before leaving ghost city, he had made a fortune. He had at least ten gold coins in his pocket.

With money in his pocket, his vision naturally became higher, and he would not be easily tempted by a few gold coins.

At the same time, he also had a feeling that Tang Zhen’s cooking method was very valuable. It was definitely not something that could be bought with a few gold coins.

Therefore, when the old man offered three gold coins, er Gou immediately jumped out and rejected it, lest Tang Zhen be deceived by the old man.

However, he immediately regretted his words the moment they left his mouth. He felt that he should have listened to Tang Zhen’s opinion first and not made his own decision.

He secretly turned his head to take a look, only to see Tang Zhen also shaking his head. Er Gou’s heart that was hanging in mid-air immediately calmed down.

Good, good, I didn’t seem to have done anything wrong, but I still have to be careful next time.

The old man’s expression was a little surprised, obviously not expecting to be rejected. He quickly asked again, ” “Are you not satisfied with the price? if that’s the case, we can still discuss it.

Of course, what I want to say is that the price of 3 gold coins is already very sincere. If it were someone else, they might not have offered such a high price!”

Tang Zhen looked at the old man and gently shook his head. I’m not short of money, but if you can answer some of the questions I want to know, I can give you the formula for free.

After hearing Tang Zhen’s words, the old man was slightly stunned. He felt that it was somewhat unbelievable.

“Ask away. If it’s something I know, I’ll tell you as much as I can!

Of course, I hope that you will keep your promise and tell me the formula after I answer your questions.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll do what I say,”

Tang Zhen looked at ergou and asked him to get another wooden bowl and scoop a bowl of soup for the old man to taste.

Er Gou was a little unwilling. He felt that this wasn’t enough for the two of them to eat. However, he definitely didn’t dare to disobey Tang Zhen’s orders.

After filling a bowl with soup with a spoon, ergou handed it to the old man. The old man thanked him and immediately took a sip.

He was not worried about poisoning them. After all, Tang Zhen and his companion had already eaten it. Moreover, his companion was just beside him. There was basically no need for him to worry.

After finishing the food in one go, the old man was full of praise, saying that he had never tasted such delicious food even though he had traveled all over the world.

“Your Excellency, please ask your questions now.”

After eating Tang Zhen’s food, the old man’s desire to obtain the recipe grew, and his attitude became more proactive.

I want to know about the strange things about evil spirits, such as where there are monsters entrenched, where there are rumors of ghosts. The more detailed, the better.

The old man’s expression stiffened when he heard this. He really did not expect that Tang Zhen would actually raise such a question.

“Your Excellency, your question is a little awkward.”

The old man shook his head. Earlier, he had guessed the question that Tang Zhen might ask. At the same time, he was also pondering how he should answer.

It was just that he never imagined that Tang Zhen’s question would be so strange, causing him to not know how to answer.

However, after thinking for a moment, the old man still slowly opened his mouth and told Tang Zhen what he knew.

“About three hundred li from here, there’s a place called the severed head Ridge. It’s said that a war broke out here in the past, and countless soldiers were trapped in the valley.

The two sides confronted each other for more than a month. In the end, the trapped side lost, and all the captives were beheaded and abandoned.

Ever since this incident, the valley had been shrouded in gray fog. Wails and howls were often heard from the valley, day and night.

There were even people who saw headless soldiers appear and kill passers-by. They didn’t ask for money, only the heads!

At first, I thought that it was just a rumor, but a while ago, a caravan passed by there, and more than a hundred people were all killed. They didn’t lose anything, but their heads were all gone.”

When the old man said this, a trace of fear appeared on his face. He had happened to pass by severed head Ridge at that time, so he had personally witnessed that tragic scene.

Initially, he did not believe the rumors on severed head Ridge. However, after seeing the headless corpses, he felt that the rumors might not be false.

After another half a month, the old man once again returned to severed head Ridge. This time, he encountered something that he would never forget.

When they were about to reach the entrance of the mountain, the old man had seen with his own eyes that a large number of armored soldiers had appeared out of thin air in the gray fog.

They were holding rusty swords and Spears in their hands, and most of the soldiers had nothing on their shoulders, only their bare necks. No one knew where their heads had gone.

Some of the soldiers had heads, but they looked crooked. There were even men with women’s heads.

This was obviously someone who had chopped off someone else’s head and attached it to his own body, so it looked extremely strange.

Some of the officers had more than one head on their shoulders. Some of the heads were completely rotten, while some looked very fresh. They were obviously from some unlucky people.

The old man and the others who saw this scene were all trembling in fear. They all kept their mouths shut to avoid attracting the monster’s attention.

It was only after the monsters had left that they dared to come out of their hiding place. They then ran all the way out of the severed head Ridge. Even if their shoes had run away, they did not dare to pick them up.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask a few of my companions. They were also there at the time, and they were all scared out of their wits.”

The old man was afraid that Tang Zhen would not believe him and hurriedly added a sentence to prove that he was not speaking nonsense.

Tang Zhen nodded his head. He felt that the headless soldiers in the severed head Ridge were actually similar to the zombie monsters in ghost city.

They were formed by a special power. After Lou Cheng’s cultivators killed them, their strength would increase.

“Apart from severed head Ridge, are there any other places that have similar legends?”

Tang Zhen remembered the severed head Ridge and decided to go there to take a look. If there was really a large number of monsters there, he would definitely be able to earn a huge sum.

Moreover, this kind of thing could not be delayed. If other cultivators from Lou Cheng got there before him, it would be the most depressing thing.

“I’ve heard a few similar rumors in the past few years, but most of them are based on hearsay, and it’s impossible to distinguish between the truth and the lies.

The only place that I can confirm is the severed head Ridge, because I saw it with my own eyes!”

Tang Zhen decided to take action immediately after obtaining the information he wanted. He had to race against time in the face of countless competitors.

“This is how it’s made. You’d better remember the Kasaya.”

Tang Zhen did not waste any time and directly told the old man the formula. He did not hide anything.

The old man had provided the information that Tang Zhen wanted. Naturally, he would abide by the agreement and complete the transaction between the two of them.

The old man was very surprised. He didn’t expect Tang Zhen to be so forthright. He hurriedly listened carefully and remembered it in his heart.

“Let’s go. We’ll go to the severed head Ridge now!”

Tang Zhen said to ergou. Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked towards the horned beast not far away.

Er Gou didn’t waste any time. He pocketed the items he took out and then gobbled up the rest of the food.

Under the old man’s shocked gaze, the two of them mounted the horned beasts and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
