Budo Village.
As soon as Li Bin came back, he received the warmest welcome from his relatives and friends.
Li Yunyao was so delighted that she rushed over from the entrance steps.
No matter whether Li Pin can catch it or not.
Fortunately, as a martial saint who has concentrated the will of martial arts, he still has this reaction ability.
He caught Li Yunyao who jumped into his arms, and turned around to dissipate the inertia of the attack.
"Brother, you are awesome. I love you so much."
Li Yunyao looked up at him, joy almost overflowing from her eyes.
"If you practice martial arts well, you can also stand on the stage of the world's number one martial arts tournament and enjoy great glory in the future."
Li Yin smiled and let go of her hand.
"real?"
"Of course, look at Master Zhao Yu. Before me, wasn't he the most popular contestant and the favorite to win? I believe that you can do better than him and become the most outstanding one day in the future."
Li Yin said, looking into her eyes: "But the premise is that you have to work hard from now on."
"Uh-huh!"
Li Yunyao nodded heavily: "Work hard! I will work hard! I want to become a ten thousand enemy!"
"Can."
Li Yin stroked her head and said, "I will help you."
"Brother Li Pin, you...are you not hurt?"
Lin Xiaolu followed behind Li Yunyao and asked cautiously.
"For those who practice martial arts, it is inevitable to get injured, but I have practiced the innate Qi-nourishing technique, so I can recover from minor injuries in a short time."
Li Bin responded calmly and entered the villa with several others.
Compared to Li Yunyao and Lin Xiaolu, Qin Rouran was a little curious: "Brother, you... killed an orc warrior?"
"right."
Li Pin sat down.
Lin Xiaolu quickly went to pour him tea.
Li Yunyao and Qin Rouran never paid attention to such small details.
"Orc warrior, that's a high-level beast. High-level beasts are comparable to high-level Star Refiners... Although Star Refiners have a complete system that combines the wisdom of the masses, they are stronger than high-level beasts in general, but... this kind of monster... is very powerful, right?"
Qin Rouran said.
She is now an official star refiner.
After becoming an official Star Refiner, military service becomes imminent.
Although due to her age, she can choose to further her studies in the garrison, or choose to stay in the city in a relatively safe place, but it is inevitable that she will have to face ferocious beasts and monsters in the future.
And her family has nothing to do with it...
In this situation, even if she didn't want to face these problems, she had to consider them in advance.
"Orc warriors, very strong."
Li Yin said: "If I were to face off against this high-level monster, I would be killed on the spot!"
He spoke the truth: "Because, no matter in terms of strength, speed, or burst, it is much stronger than me. So much so that no skill can make up for the crushing advantage brought by basic attributes, just like no matter how agile an antelope is, it cannot fight against a fierce tiger."
"ah!"
Li Yunyao was startled: "Brother, wasn't your life in danger?"
"The reason why it's called a dangerous place is because danger can come at any time. The difference is just ordinary danger and deadly danger."
Li Yin smiled and said, "Since we are competing in a dangerous place, we must be prepared for death."
He seemed to have thought of something: "I remember that out of the more than 100 contestants this time, 42 people were killed? More than a quarter?"
When this number came out, not to mention Li Yunyao, even Lin Xiaolu and Qin Rouran were so scared that their faces turned pale.
More than a quarter of the loss rate!
this…
How amazing!
In the past, at the end of the world's best martial arts competition, the loss rate was often only around 10%.
This time the posture...
Going straight to Sancheng!
You know, in ancient times, a 30% casualty rate in a war was equivalent to a complete defeat, and the army would collapse.
at the moment…
"Brother... or... if the next round of preliminaries are held in this way of hunting ferocious beasts, we... will not participate in this world's number one martial arts competition?"
Li Yunyao's face turned pale and she said, "It's too dangerous."
"No matter what you do in this world, there are dangers. Even if you are walking on the street, you have to be careful of a sudden out-of-control car that will take you away. Instead of looking ahead and behind, worrying about gains and losses, it is better to grasp the present and enjoy life. If you really have to die..."
"No, no, no! Brother, you can't die!"
Li Yunyao quickly shook her head to interrupt him: "If you die, what should I do?"
"what to do?"
Li Pin looked at Li Yunyao, whose face turned pale with fear, and smiled slightly: "You have to learn to accept that the dead cannot be resurrected."
He said calmly: "In this world, everyone will die eventually, no one can live forever!"
Li Yunyao couldn't help shaking slightly when she heard Li Yin's blunt words without any euphemism. She looked at him with eyes full of mist: "Brother..."
Li Yin looked at her and touched her soft hair lovingly: "Such a beautiful girl, it will not look good when she cries."
"It's not you, you're scaring me?"
Li Yunyao said aggrievedly.
"I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just stating a fact."
Li Yin said: "I will die, you will die, and we will all die. When death comes, we have no choice but to learn to accept it."
"No, no, it's not like that, I won't let you die..."
Li Yunyao hugged Li Pin's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that he would leave like this.
"Then practice martial arts well."
Li Yin reached out his hand, wiped the tears from her face, and said with a smile: "Martial arts pursues the sublimation of life, continuous sublimation, continuous breakthroughs, and continuous evolution. Perhaps... one day, with a glimmer of hope, we can see the other side of true immortality."
Qin Rouran, who was also enveloped by this sad atmosphere, cheered up after hearing this: "Yes, practice, evolve. I heard that when a star refiner reaches the top level, he can condense astral bodies and optimize himself with the power of starlight, making himself have a trace of energy characteristics, thereby greatly extending his lifespan. The oldest top star refiner is already 142 years old, but he still looks like a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s, not old at all. According to research by professionals, the lifespan of top star refiners who have condensed astral bodies has broken the shackles of the human body and reached 200 years."
"Two hundred years!"
This number made Li Yunyao and Lin Xiaolu's eyes light up at the same time.
"Really? What about the Great Star Refiner and the Legendary Star Refiner?"
Li Yin asked.
"I don't know about that..."
Qin Rouran was a little embarrassed: "I also heard my sister mention this matter back then... I think... they should be able to live longer, right?"
"Can I live for 200 years? That's great!"
Li Yunyao said in surprise.
"What does this have to do with you?"
Li Yin looked at Li Yunyao, still smiling: "In the future, whether I take the path of martial arts to sublimate myself, or refine Qi and transform into a star cultivator, I think my achievements will not be too bad. At least it will not be a problem to condense the starlight body to the top star cultivator. But you, let alone reaching the limit of martial saint, it is very questionable whether you can cultivate into a martial saint by refining Qi and transforming into a spirit. Don't be like that, by that time, I will be in my eighties or nineties, still full of energy, while you will be old and frail..."
After these words were spoken, Li Yunyao, who had just felt some hope in her heart, felt as if struck by lightning.
The whole person was stunned on the spot.
"Of course, I hope that by then, you can be as pretty and lovely as you are now."
As Li Pin spoke, he reached out and pinched her delicate little face that was without any flaws.
Um.
It feels really good.
However, Li Yunyao did not react at all. Instead, she stood there blankly, looking at Li Pin, but her eyes were unfocused.
Li Yin did not comfort her any more. He pinched her face and stood up.
Let Li Yunyao think about and accept this cruel reality on her own.
He could already hear footsteps coming from outside.
So he left the living room and went straight to the outer courtyard.
Coincidentally, Su Mai, Tuoba Feng, Su Feiyu and others rushed over.
"Li Pin, this time, you really brought honor to our Taibai Kingdom."
Su Mai said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you for the compliment. I am also striving for honor for myself."
Li Yin said, and beckoned with his hand: "Sit down."
He took them to a chair in the flower belt in the yard and sat them down.
The villas in Wudao Village are very exquisite. There are special florists who tend to the flowers in the yard of each villa. Although the yard of this villa is not big, only 40 or 50 square meters, it has a unique scenery with the decoration of flowers.
"Are there any difficulties in your cultivation or life? If there is anything that needs to be solved, please feel free to speak up."
Su Mai asked with concern.
"It's okay, I can handle it myself."
Li Yin said, as if he had thought of something: "It's just that the pills for replenishing vitality are not enough..."
"Replenish your vitality, right? I'll have someone send over ten boxes of Shengsheng Zaohua Pills right away. If it's not enough, I'll have someone go back and make some."
Su Mai said immediately.
"Ten boxes... that's enough for now."
Li Yin nodded.
"Okay, if you have any requests, just let me know. Don't be polite. We are still waiting for you to win the title of No. 1 in the world for our Taibai."
Su Mai said with some emotion: "Since the first martial arts tournament in the world was held, we in Taibai have never won a championship. The best result is just to make it into the top three... If you can really return to Taibai with the honor of first place, you will be the hero of our Taibai!"
“I will give it my all.”
Li Bin nodded carefully.
"I believe in your ability."
Su Mai said this and gestured to Su Feiyu.
She quickly took out a box.
"This time, besides congratulating you on winning first place..."
Su Mai pointed to the box and said, "I also brought you a treasure, a treasure that will help you strengthen your body and boost your Qi and blood, which have stagnated and stopped growing."
"oh?"
Li Yin was a little surprised.
He has now completed the blood transfusion.
Whether it is a grandmaster or a martial saint, one is to sort out one's own martial arts system, and the other is to condense the martial arts will, which has nothing to do with strengthening the body.
Li Bin had said before that he had no hope of defeating an orc warrior in his prime because the opponent's attributes were overwhelmingly superior to him.
This is the unbridgeable gap caused by the high and low attributes.
Now the box that Su Mai sent could actually allow his stagnant Qi and blood strength to rise again...
He opened the box, and suddenly, a deep blue orb with sparkling stars inside appeared in his sight.
"This is… "
"Spirit Gathering Pearl!"
