Li Chenyuan put down his brush, rolled up the scroll, and handed it to the four people:
"I'll give this painting to you. It will be shared by the four of you."
"You four must unite and help each other."
He knew that among the four, Luo Xuanyin, Luo Chengfeng, and Luo Chengkong were a family, and Chu Xiaoying was just their friend.
They were so poor to begin with, and when they went to Mount Doom to scavenge for things, they only managed to bring back a piece of cardboard.
To put it bluntly, this may be the reason why they have been poor until now.
If we don't unite together, this is really not a solution.
The four were shocked: "Send... send it to us?"
Li Chenyuan smiled: "Why, don't you want it?"
Luo Xuanyin, who was closest to him, quickly shook his head: "I want it, I want it, I want it!"
This is the reward from Senior Li for them completing the task!
Luo Xuanyin took the painting tremblingly and respectfully.
Li Chenyuan smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, take your time."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Xiaoying and asked casually, "By the way, have you read the scroll I gave you?"
The reason why he wrote the eight words "Peaceful for a lifetime, calm waves for thousands of years" on the scroll was because Chu Xiaoying's life experience was too tragic, and sometimes she would inevitably have some depression in her heart, which might even distort her mind.
At that time, Chu Xiaoying suddenly asked him to accept her as a disciple. It was probably because she was affected by those frustrations that she was so reckless.
He hoped that those eight words could soothe Chu Xiaoying's depressed heart.
Of course, he didn't want Chu Xiaoying to forget the hatred. He was not so saintly, and he didn't have the power to make Chu Xiaoying do so.
Chu Xiaoying: “I’ve seen it!”
Li Chenyuan: "How is it?"
Chu Xiaoying said sweetly: "Very good!"
Li Chenyuan laughed.
It seems to be working!
This girl has become gentle!
"Senior, you are so kind to us, we don't know how to repay you."
Chu Xiaoying asked: "Can you see if there is anything else we can do to help you?"
"Help me?"
Li Chenyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
I stay in this yard, at least I have an acre of land, I can be self-sufficient. You are all living such a hard life, what can you do to help me
Li Chenyuan smiled and declined:
"You should make your life better first, then think about helping me."
Should you take care of yourself first, and then consider helping your seniors
When everyone heard this, they all seemed to be thinking about something.
Ignoring the thoughts in everyone's eyes, Li Chenyuan waved his hand:
"Well, it's getting dark, let's go back. I wish you all the best."
Everyone then left.
…
Outside the mountain village.
Luo Chengfeng pondered:
"What did Senior mean when he said let's get well first and then consider helping him? I always feel like there's something else in Senior's words."
“I don’t know.”
Luo Chengkong shook his head and immediately looked at Luo Xuanyin: "Xuanyin, take a look at Senior Li's painting first."
"Good grandpa."
Luo Xuanyin opened the painting.
In an instant, the terrifying light of the avenue rushed out from the painting.
Chu Xiaoying cried out: "I can't stand it anymore!"
Her cultivation was the lowest among the few people, and she could hardly resist the impact of the light of the avenue.
Suddenly, their eyes all darkened.
It was as if the world was spinning and they appeared out of nowhere in an unfamiliar space.
This is a loft.
The interior of the attic is very spacious, with towering beams and pillars.
Everyone was shocked: "This is... the space inside the scroll?!"
Suddenly, another voice sounded:
"Oh my god, the spiritual energy in this attic is so abundant! It is hundreds of times more than the outside world! This is a treasure land, a treasure land for cultivation!"
This is Luo Xuanyin's voice.
She sat cross-legged, interlocking her ten white fingers, and dozens of spiritual energy vortices emerged around her. The spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, like a flood, penetrated into her body through the small hole, mixed with the impact of the power of the avenue!
Wave after wave.
Her aura increased instantly!
Chu Xiaoying sat down cross-legged, feeling this power, her pretty face was also very enjoyable. After a moment, her lips trembled suddenly:
"I understand! The senior gave us this scroll because he wanted us to improve our own strength first! After all, we are too weak. Only when we become stronger will we be qualified to help him!"
"And the reason why he said that is probably because he wants us to establish a force - a force that belongs only to us!"
"After all, what does it mean for us practitioners to live a better life? It means becoming more powerful!"
"He has given us this precious land now, so that we can build our power and grow well, and then help him do things!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they pondered for a moment, then...
I think it makes a lot of sense!
"Great, so great!"
Luo Chengkong clapped his hands and said, "Princess, you are so smart! No wonder Senior Li thinks so highly of you. I understand!"
Luo Chengfeng was also very happy: "I understand it too!"
"I dare not."
Chu Xiaoying waved her hands quickly... But she felt happy in her heart. I really understand Senior Li's heart!
With a turn of their eyes, they returned to reality from the painting.
Luo Xuanyin said: "Then let's go back to Xuanyuan Sect first?"
Chu Xiaoying said: "Yes, let's go back to Xuanyuan Sect first to improve our strength!"
Originally she was planning to return to the imperial capital, but now she is preparing to develop first.
After my strength is fully enhanced, I will go back to conquer the imperial capital, avenge my parents, and build my own power.
"good!"
Everyone nodded.
After seeing through Li Chenyuan's thoughts, they all became more motivated.
I and others are going to do big things!
…
After Chu Xiaoying and the other three returned to Xuanyuan Sect, they immediately used the pavilion in the painting to practice.
During the time they were practicing, the entire Eastern Wilderness was in turmoil.
Everyone knew what happened in the Saint's Secret Realm.
They were shocked by the appearance of Thunder Heart Demon Saint.
Shocked by the power of Chu Xiaoying's four-character axis.
In just ten days, the names of the four people had spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness.
The imperial capital of the Great Chu Dynasty.
In the palace.
A woman wearing a phoenix crown, after hearing the report from the spies below, burst into tears:
"Your Majesty, you must avenge Hao'er and cut that damn Chu Xiaoying into pieces and execute her!"
There sat a middle-aged man on the throne.
He was wearing a dragon robe, had a very majestic figure, and a gloomy look on his face.
Hearing the report from the spies below, his face looked very ugly. After hearing the phoenix crown woman's tantrum, his face turned even darker:
"Cry, cry, cry, that's all you know how to do!"
"You want to kill her then go ahead!"
"There's a divine man behind her. Let me see if you can kill her?"
"If you can't, then shut up!"
The Phoenix Crowned Woman's face turned pale: "But Hao'er can't die in vain, I must make that bastard be buried with him!"
The middle-aged man in dragon robe gritted his teeth tightly: "Hao'er can't die in vain, so I must die, right?"
But in the end, he muttered to himself: "Forget it, let's send someone to the East Territory first and then decide based on the situation."
He had never admitted to killing Chu Xiaoying's father and mother, at least not openly. He always claimed to the outside world that his father died due to going insane during a breakthrough.
He wanted to see if there was any hope.
…
East Wilderness, northern part.
The airspace of the Tianxia family.
Number One Under Heaven took a deep breath and flew down from the flying boat.
He came to the outside of a huge palace.
Looking at the four men and two women standing in front of the hall:
"Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, where's father?"
