"Tianyuan Shenwu Sect's deputy sect leader Li Yunyao led a team to visit."
After saying this, Xingying stopped immediately, and her expression became obviously cautious.
At the same time, he was secretly looking at Li Pin.
Seemed to be waiting for his instructions on the matter.
"He is now the deputy leader of Shenwu Sect."
Li Yin smiled after hearing this: "Sure enough, only when you lose your support will you know how to work hard. If I had been there to guide her all the time, I'm afraid that her current achievement of Lian Gang would be the limit."
Xingying lowered her head and waited patiently.
At this moment she...
Or in other words, almost everyone in the Star Martial Temple is worried.
They were worried that their palace master would simply abandon the Xingwu Temple and return to Tianyuan.
After all, Tianyuan and Taibai are his hometowns.
There are his parents, relatives and friends.
That land is the place where he was born and raised.
"Let her come."
Li Yin said, "Let Zhang Dongwang wait a little longer."
"yes."
Xingying agreed immediately.
But the worries in my heart increased.
From the fact that Li Bin chose to see Li Yunyao first instead of Zhang Dongwang, the imperial envoy who brought great crisis, we can judge what is more important in his mind.
At this time, there were bursts of excited noises coming from the door.
"Palace Master."
"Palace Master, you are finally back."
"Great, I knew it. With the Palace Master's divine power, the whole world is vast and we can go anywhere."
They were Shi Shihu, Xinghui, Xie Longcheng and others.
"Um."
Li Yin responded, "Xingying has just told me about the Xingwu Temple. You have done a good job in the past month."
"It's all thanks to the Palace Master's control and guidance of the overall situation."
Shi Shihu and others bowed at the same time.
"Go ahead, the Xingwu Temple can just operate according to this model."
Li Pin said.
Then, he thought of something: "Two hours later, let Lin Langya come to see me."
"yes."
Shi Shihu and others responded respectfully and retreated.
They also came to report to Li Bin on all matters major and minor that had occurred in the Xingwu Temple over the past month, as well as some important events that required his decision.
But now the Palace Master had already heard Xingying's report and had no new instructions, so they naturally could not disturb his practice for such a small matter.
Especially Shi Shihu, who knows Li Bin best, he knows very well the significance of the Xingwu Temple to him.
An organization for obtaining resources for spiritual practice.
Perhaps there are other factors involved, such as inheriting his martial arts, developing it into a holy place, improving local people's livelihood and so on.
But these goals are secondary.
At the core of everything, it must revolve around the goal of benefiting his practice.
Shi Shihu, Xie Longcheng and others also strongly support this.
In such a world where countless powers are gathered in one person, only when Li Bin becomes stronger can the Xingwu Temple usher in a broader space for development.
So they will try their best to work towards this goal.
Try not to disturb the Palace Master if possible.
Of course, relevant reports on some major events and major expenditures are naturally indispensable.
It has nothing to do with Li Pin's trust.
Instead, they have to figure it out for themselves.
Only in this way can the Star Martial Temple develop on this land for a long time.
In this way, the Warrior system can escape the fate of being a supplement to the Star Refiner system and serving as reconnaissance cannon fodder.
…
Shi Shihu and others quickly withdrew, and Li Pin sat in the courtyard on a wooden rattan chair under a large parasol, quietly reading a report on infrastructure construction within a hundred miles of Hualong Mountain.
Soon, Xingying walked into the courtyard with a graceful figure.
It was Li Yunyao.
Although it has only been over a year since we last met, the personal temperament of this girl, who is actually only 20 years old, has changed greatly.
She has lost some of her original youthfulness, liveliness, innocence and cuteness, and has gained a maturity and stability that is not suitable for her age.
but…
This maturity and stability was instantly broken by Li Bin's words.
“Here I come.”
Li Yin put down the report with a smile: "Sit down."
Li Yunyao, who originally had a stern face and seemed to want to "raise an army to hold someone accountable", suddenly had red eyes and a trace of mist soon appeared in them.
But then she thought of something and forced back the mist in her eyes.
She even turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
Obviously mad at him.
Li Pin glanced at Xingying.
She immediately bowed tactfully and retreated.
Soon, Li Bin and Li Yunyao were the only ones left in the courtyard.
"Let me tell you a story."
Li Yunyao stood still and continued calmly, "There was a man whose parents died of illness when he was fifteen. From that day on, he suddenly realized that life was so fragile. He thought of many ways to change this situation, but he was powerless. In the end, he chose to practice martial arts. He wanted to change the weakness of life through martial arts, and promote the evolution of life through martial arts. With the help of martial arts, he wanted to see... to what extent human beings, this kind of life, can evolve."
Li Yunyao was stunned.
"But at that time, he had no famous teacher to teach him, and he had never been exposed to martial arts. All he had was a passion and a strong will. He practiced martial arts ten times more than an ordinary person with blood and sweat. When others were sleeping, he practiced martial arts. When others were going to work, he practiced martial arts. When others were taking a lunch break, he practiced martial arts. When he was taking a walk at night, he was still practicing martial arts."
Li Pin said calmly: "Day after day, year after year, regardless of the continuous spring rain, the scorching summer, the bleak autumn wind, the heavy snow, the freezing cold, he searched for information, looked through ancient books, visited martial arts masters, walked through the wilderness, climbed over the mountains, waded through the rivers, went deep into the ancient forests, fought wolves, tore tigers and leopards apart, hunted pigs and bears, step by step, he climbed up and moved forward on the road of martial arts with difficulty and determination."
He looked at Li Yunyao: "Sixteen years of the same old thing, until Dan Jin."
After hearing what Li Pin said earlier, Li Yunyao thought that this was the growth history of a peerless martial arts saint. But when she heard that it took him sixteen years of hard training to achieve Dan Jin, she couldn't help laughing.
only…
Li Yin didn't laugh.
Just looking at her calmly.
Li Yunyao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so she restrained her expression.
But then, she thought carefully...
Sixteen years as always!
Sixteen years!
Who can persist in such a harsh ascetic environment for sixteen years?
And if there is someone who can persist in such a harsh environment for sixteen years, what kind of firm goal and will must he have
"In the real world, there is no reward for hard work, and there is no such thing as success without effort. After sixteen years of hard training, he has been left with countless hidden injuries. At the age of thirty-one, his body has collapsed and he is on the verge of death. Only by holding his Qi and turning it into a pill, and relying on the power of the Hunyuan Pill, can he slightly recover the vitality he has lost over the years, so that his life, which is thirsty for evolution, will not come to an end at the age of thirty-one."
Li Pin said.
Li Yunyao fell silent when she heard this.
Thirty-one years old.
In order to evolve life, I chose martial arts, and the result was...
He is only 31 years old but he has completely ruined his body.
this…
What is this
Putting the cart before the horse
"Then he..."
Li Yunyao opened her mouth and wanted to ask.
Li Pin gave a straightforward answer to her question.
"He's dead."
The tone was so calm that it seemed as if he was really telling a story.
"At the moment of forming the elixir, the hidden danger erupted, and the qi and blood became disordered, resulting in death."
"ah!?"
Li Yunyao couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
"Tell me, if... he were to be reborn... would he regret his choice and continue on this evolutionary path that might still lead to failure and death in the future?"
Li Yin looked at Li Yunyao and asked, "Even if... in this life, he has a mother, a sister, a younger sister, relatives and friends..."
Li Yunyao was stunned for a moment, as if she realized something, her face suddenly turned pale, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"you… "
Li Yin didn't say anything else. Instead, he calmly picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and sipped it quietly.
As for what he tasted...
There's nothing mysterious about it.
Tea is tea.
For him, a thirst-quenching drink.
It's no different from water or beverages.
Why drink tea...
Simply because there was tea on the table.
convenient.
Li Yunyao, whose whole body was shaking slightly, looked at Li Pin, who was sitting quietly but had obviously changed in age and appearance. Suddenly, her heart was filled with an unspeakable sadness.
This sadness made her unable to control her emotions and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She just looked at Li Bin. At this moment, she was so weak and helpless.
Li Yin did not comfort her or persuade her, but just waited.
Wait for her to come out of this mood by herself.
No matter how good a relationship is, it cannot avoid the ultimate topic - birth, aging, sickness and death.
Children will watch their parents die.
The wife will watch her husband die.
Friends and family will watch their dearest friends pass away.
There is no such thing as immortality in this world.
There is nothing eternal in this world.
When this kind of thing really happens, all people can do is learn to accept it.
Although Li Yin practiced martial arts to avoid this kind of thing from happening, but...
He was also mentally prepared to face and accept it all at any time.
The dead silence lasted for several minutes.
Li Yunyao, whose tears could not stop flowing and whose emotions were mixed with joy and sorrow, suddenly shook and fell down weakly.
Seeing this, Li Yin stood up, walked forward, took her in and helped her up.
Li Yunyao looked up at him, her eyes blurred with tears at this figure whose appearance had obviously changed but whose aura was exactly the same as the one in her mind.
"elder brother… "
She screamed unconsciously.
"Um."
Li Pin also responded and gently stroked her hair.
"elder brother!"
The next moment, Li Yunyao could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart. She threw herself on Li Pin and burst into tears.
“Woo woo woo…”
She knows...
Her brother Li Pin is gone.
