"Second Young Master, I have finally found you. The Great Elder is looking for you everywhere."
Xiao Chen was about to go back, but he met the little maid who had asked him to participate in the family's strength test before he was halfway there. He felt a little strange in his heart. What did the elder want to do with him
Stopping, Xiao Chen looked at the Great Elder's exclusive maid and said, "Do you know what the Great Elder wants from me?"
The maid answered honestly: "I don't know what the specific matter is, but seeing that the elder is very anxious, it should be a very important matter."
If this were the case before, the maid would definitely not be able to get rid of Xiao Chen, just pass on a message and leave. Today, not only did she answer Xiao Chen's questions truthfully, but her attitude was extremely humble.
"Lead the way." Xiao Chen said calmly, ignoring the girl's change in attitude.
The little maid seemed to be a little nervous. She did not dare to say a word along the way. After taking Xiao Chen to the courtyard of the great elder Xiao Qiang, she left immediately.
Entering the courtyard, Xiao Chen saw the elder waving to him on the stone table in the courtyard, and quickly walked over. Xiao Xiong retreated. The elder had the highest status in the entire Xiao family. Xiao Chen did not dare to have any attitude. Anything sloppy.
Seeing Xiao Chen standing in front of the table, the elder chuckled and said, "Sit down, we are all members of our family, there is no need to be so formal."
Xiao Chen thanked him, and after sitting down, he asked cautiously: "The great elder came to me, I don't know why."
Xiao Qiang smiled and said nothing, picked up the teacup on the stone table and poured Xiao Chen a cup of tea. He said with a smile: "This tea is the best tea in the south. It is difficult to buy in Qizi County. Try it!"
Xiao Chen didn't know anything about tea, so he reluctantly took a sip and said, "Great Elder, you are looking for me..."
"Don't be anxious, thank you in advance for Yulan's matter." Xiao Qiang interrupted Xiao Chen, "This girl has been staying on the mountain for so many years and has refused to come down. If it weren't for you this time, she would never come down."
"I heard from Yulan that your martial spirit is a purple flame. Can you show it to me?"
Xiao Chen nodded, and a purple flame appeared in his palm, jumping constantly, swaying with a strange light.
Xiao Qiang looked at the Purple Thunder True Fire in Xiao Chen's hand with a solemn expression. He raised his hand and gathered the vitality in his right palm. A suction force shot out from it. Feeling this power, Xiao Chen did not resist and allowed Xiao Qiang to absorb a trace of purple. The flames passed.
Zizz!
Looking at the flames that kept burning vitality in his palms, Xiao Qiang said with satisfaction: "This flame is indeed overbearing. Xiao Jian would have been distracted by it during the crisis. With my level as a great martial artist, it would take a lot of effort to extinguish this trace of flame." A lot of effort.”
"Great Elder, you're welcome. With the Great Elder's strength, I'm afraid this flame won't be able to hurt you at all."
Seeing that Xiao Chen was so humble, Xiao Qiang was very satisfied. He laughed and extinguished the flame in his palm, "This flame is extremely pure. You can try the profession of alchemist in the future."
The fire used by alchemists on Tianwu Continent must come from martial souls, which requires that the alchemists' martial souls must be fire-attributed spiritual beasts or fire-attributed sacred objects. If it is a pure purple thunder true fire like Xiao Chen, It couldn't be better, but the elder obviously didn't know that Xiao Chen's Purple Thunder True Fire was not his martial spirit.
Xiao Chen nodded and said: "I have indeed had such an idea, but the threshold for alchemists is extremely high. There is not a second-grade alchemist or above in the entire Mohe City. It is not easy to get in."
Xiao Chen's words were half true and half false. If there was an alchemist willing to accept him as his apprentice, that would be great. In the future, refining medicine would definitely be more effective with half the effort. But even if there is no high-level alchemist to guide him, with the extremely complete alchemy chapter in the Complete Collection of Cultivation, it is not difficult to successfully refine the elixir.
Xiao Qiang pondered for a while and said: "I have a basic introductory book for alchemists. I will find someone to send it to you later."
The basic introductory book for alchemists is not very precious, but Xiao Chen is also very interested in how to refine medicine in this world, so you can read it and said with a smile: "Thank you, great elder."
However, after talking for so long, the Great Elder still did not tell Xiao Chen the real purpose of calling him here this time.
"Master Xiao, I would like to give you a spot in this ten-year fight. What do you think?"
Just now, I was still thinking about the purpose of the Great Elder calling me here. The Great Elder immediately gave the answer, as if he had read through Xiao Chen's mind.
The ten-year fight involves the Qijiao Mountains, where the Xiao family relies on for survival. Once they lose the fight, the Xiao family in Mohe City will probably become a second-rate family immediately. By then, those who have fought with Xiao A family with bad blood will definitely get worse.
Putting aside the question of whether Xiao Chen can leave alone, whether it is Xiao Chen now or Xiao Chen before, he still has some feelings for the Xiao family. What should I do if Xiao Yulan is gone? What should I do with Xiao Chen's father? You have to bear some responsibility if you occupy someone else's body. Although Xiao Chen is a deadbeat, he still has this responsibility.
Therefore, during this ten-year agreement, even if the Great Elder didn't say it, he would do his best to help the Xiao family survive this crisis. From then on, Xiao Chen's grudges with this family were settled.
Seeing Xiao Chen's silence, Xiao Qiang thought that he refused to agree, and continued: "This is actually what your father meant. He knows that you have condensed martial arts and defeated Xiao Jian, so he is very happy for you."
"My father? Isn't he in retreat?" Xiao Chen said with some confusion.
Xiao Qiang smiled and said: "No matter how you retreat, you are still a human being. You need to eat and drink. I took the time to tell the clan leader about you. He didn't seem to be very surprised, and he named you to participate in the ten-year-promised fighting."
Not surprised? Could it be that he knew that I could condense the martial spirit, and also knew that what I condensed was the Qinglong martial spirit, but it seems that the elder’s meaning was not very similar, otherwise he would not have regarded his purple thunder true fire as his own just now. Martial spirit.
"By the way, Great Elder, when can my father come out? He has been in seclusion for three years, right? It is not so exaggerated for ordinary people to reach the realm of martial arts. It takes such a long time." Seeing the opportunity, I asked about Xiao Xiong's news. , Xiao Chen immediately asked out the doubts that had been pressing in his heart for a long time.
There are three most important stages in the martial arts journey. The first one is naturally to condense the martial soul. As long as the martial soul is successfully condensed before the age of ten, one's future cultivation will reach the level of a great martial artist. It's just a matter of how long it takes. The second level is for the Great Martial Master to attack the Martial Master. After passing it, your cultivation level will at least reach the Martial King realm. Otherwise, you will only stay at the Great Martial Master realm for the rest of your life.
As for the last level of the Martial Emperor, it is ethereal and mysterious. Most people say that the next level is the legendary Martial God, but no one knows whether there is a Martial God.
Xiao Qiang drank a cup of tea and said seriously: "The martial arts practiced by your father are different. He has accumulated a lot of experience. Once the attack is successful, he will immediately reach the peak of martial arts. At that time, my Xiao family was not only in Mohe The city and the entire Qizi County will also have a place.”
"There is a premise for all this, which is to protect the Qijiao Mountains. The Zhang family's power has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, and it is even more powerful than my Xiao family. It should not be underestimated. If they get the ownership of the Qijiao Mountains, what will happen to our Xiao family? It must be ugly, so you should think carefully about the ten-year appointment with the second young master."
The great elder's speaking skills were really extraordinary. He changed the topic again and again. Xiao Chen's mind was as fast as lightning. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he could take this opportunity to ask the great elder for some benefits, which happened to be his own. Still missing a soul weapon.
Then he said with a bitter face: "It's not that I refuse to agree, Great Elder. Look, I have nothing in my hands, not even a soul weapon."
Xiao Qiang smiled and said: "You have a really big appetite. You want soul weapons as soon as you ask. But are soul weapons something you can get easily from a street stall? Even Xiao Jian only got a soul weapon when he had just reached the realm of a martial artist." of."
If you want to be a soul soldier and still have the realm of a martial artist, is there such a requirement
"Only those who have reached the realm of martial arts can possess soul weapons. This is the rule of my Xiao family. However, I have a few soul weapons in my personal collection and can choose from them for you." The great elder changed the topic and let the person who had no hope of signing up. Xiao Chen felt happy.
Xiao Qiang waved his hand, and four soul weapons appeared on the stone table, as well as a space ring. Xiao Chen looked at the gray-white ring on the elder's finger with some envy. When Zi Lei reached the second level, he learned how to refine it. To use it, you must first get yourself a space-based magic weapon.
Turning his eyes to the four soul weapons on the stone table, Xiao Chen observed carefully. Three of the four soul weapons were long swords, and only one was a sword-shaped soul weapon. However, the luster of these soul weapons was not very good. After Xiao Chen held them in his hands and tried them one by one, he could conclude that they were all just low-level Huang-level soul weapons.
The Huang-level soul soldiers were the most rubbish soul soldiers. Xiao Chen felt a little pity, but he couldn't show this expression on his face. Ordinary people would not be happy enough to have a soul weapon, so how could they feel it was a pity? This would inevitably make the great elder suspicious, and Xiao Chen's expression looked extremely excited.
"How's it going? Have you made your choice?" Seeing Xiao Chen's excitement, Xiao Qiang said with satisfaction.
Xiao Chen picked up the sword-shaped soul weapon and saw the word Yueying written on the handle, and said, "This is the Yueying."
Dragon Subduing Slash can only be performed with a knife, and Xiao Chen has no other choice.
