959 Refine and Control Everything! (1/2)
It was too strange.
If Fang Zhengzhi's impression of the lady in the white dress was previously unclear, now, it became one that was strange beyond words.
The lady in the white dress seemed to have known everything. Most importantly, she said that she was a monster?!
”Jump,” said the lady in the white dress again.
”Are you sure I won't die after I jump?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the red magma in front of him and felt fearful.
After all, it was magma and not warm bathwater, how could he survive if he jumped?
Only the God would believe in that.
”Other people will die.” The lady in the white dress nodded slightly and looked at Fang Zhengzhi. ”But you won't.”
”Can you give me a reason that is more believable?”
”You have the Thousand Years Fire Herb in your body. Is this reason sufficient?”
”…” Fang Zhengzhi's lips twitched as he wanted to ask more questions, for instance, why could he survive if he had the Thousand Years Fire Herb? Or, was the Thousand Years Fire Herb still in his body?
That question seemed a little stupid.
In reality, however, Fang Zhengzhi felt that the Thousand Years Fire Herb had long been refined after he threw it into the Middle Stream Cauldron at the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
”Actually, you have a lot of things in your body: The Thousand Years Fire Herb, Penta-colored Wonder Flowers, Nine Cauldrons and The Vast World. However, you did not make use of them,” said the lady in the white dress after seeing how Fang Zhengzhi kept silent. However, she seemed to be talking to herself.
”Will they be used if I jumped in?”
”Perhaps.”
”Perhaps? I am gambling with my life and you are telling me 'perhaps'?” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless. How could he continue chatting with her?
”I mean, what and how much can be used entirely depends on you.” As the lady in the white dress was very clear of what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking about, she explained to him again.
”Can I think about it first?”
”Sure, but you don't have much time.”
”How much time do I have?”
”Three.”
”Three? What do you mean?”
”Two.”
”…” Fang Zhengzhi understood. Three meant that he had three seconds left.
”One.”
”Hold on, I have something to say!”
”See you later.”
”Erm?!” Fang Zhengzhi was just about to flee when he realized his body was flying into the sky uncontrollably.
He was not moving too quickly but what was thrilling was that he actually flew past the magma..
What the hell?!
Where on earth was he at?
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to curse. He already had the power to fight with a Godly State expert, yet in this world, he could not do anything to the lady in the white dress at all.
Moreover…
The lady in the white dress did not seem to bother about how Fang Zhengzhi jumped into the magma.
”Can I change a pose, I don't want my face to be facing down!” Fang Zhengzhi made a final request as his face was about to touch the magma.
However, that did not seem to work.
His pose did not change and he was getting closer and closer to the magma. He could even feel the boiling hot air.
”… Ah, f*ck!” When Fang Zhengzhi shouted, he felt something boiling hot entering his mouth.
Bitter? Or salty? Or spicy? Or sweet?
Who f*cking knows!
Fang Zhengzhi only had one sensation. When it flowed into his mouth, his vision became red like fire.
Furthermore, a boiling hot wave continuously surged into his ears and nose. It was a sour feeling that he had never experienced before.
”Refine.” The lady in the white dress stood on the path filled with the magma and watched Fang Zhengzhi as he entered the magma. ”Refine everything, Thousand Years Fire Herb, Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers, various herbs, Nine Cauldrons… When everything merged to become one with your body, you can then control everything in the world.”
As she said, the lady in the white dress sat down and waited quietly. It felt as though she was waiting for everything to start as well as everything to end.
Fang Zhengzhi clearly could not hear what the lady in the white dress said on the path. His body was entirely on fire.
From his organs to the blood, veins, muscles, every cell in him was burning as though they were on fire.
The pain penetrated all the way to his bones.
He felt like passing away but for some reason, his body could not be extinguished. After his original muscles turned into ashes, new muscles grew. After his blood was evaporated, new blood flowed.
It was endless and repeated in a cycle!
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi genuinely felt the feeling of 'not being able to live or die'. It was so painful that he wanted to curse.
Of course, he had already cursed once.
Yet now, he seemed to have lost the right to curse because once he opened his mouth, the boiling hot magma flowed into his mouth.
”No, I must find a way to reduce the pain. If this continues, I probably would have died due to this torture.” Fang Zhengzhi was not stupid.
The more painful he felt, the more alert he had to be. Furthermore, he could clearly remember what the lady in the white dress said to him before he landed in the magma.
”What and how much can be used entirely depends on you.”
The meaning behind this sentence could not be clearer. If he endured the suffering without doing anything else, he would get very little out of it.
Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi remembered that the lady in the white dress said before that this was only the first location. Therefore, there were more locations…
That was the real frightening thing!
Fang Zhengzhi did not want to experience the same experience two or three times. He was someone who was afraid of pain, one experience like this was more than sufficient.
It was like having sex for the first time.
