Chapter 62 In-depth talk between father and son II
Hearing Ling Shouxin's words, Ling Xiao briefly told the story that he had obtained the "Immortal Imperial Body", a martial arts skill left by the San people, and had achieved success in it, and then used his powerful body to collect "Royal Jelly".
His father, Ling Shouxin, said something.
Of course, the killing of foxes and wolves and the dangers experienced during this period will naturally be omitted.
Ling Shouxin would not be too worried after hearing this.
However, even if Ling Xiao deliberately did not mention the dangers he encountered while collecting 'royal jelly', Ling Shouxin had already guessed a lot.
"Xiao'er, although things like 'royal jelly' are good, your own life is more important. You can't do this anymore. Everything must be done to protect yourself first." After listening to Ling Xiao's words, Ling Shouxin sighed and tried to persuade him.
said.
"Dad, I know all this. Before collecting 'royal jelly' this time, I only boldly collected it after ensuring my own safety. I didn't take any risks."
Ling Xiao said this, divided more than half of the dozen or so bottles of royal jelly, pushed it in front of Ling Shouxin, and then said: "Father, this is enough for the 'royal jelly' I use to practice Henglian martial arts.
Now, you and grandpa should share the rest of the 'royal jelly' and eat it. It should be able to increase your cultivation level a lot in a short period of time."
"And this 'royal jelly' seems to have a loosening effect on warriors' cultivation levels. If grandpa takes it when he breaks through in seclusion, it might be able to open a hole for grandpa, who has not been able to break through for many years."
, and then march to the realm of Earth Yuan!"
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Ling Shouxin let out a sigh of relief. Then he didn't say anything else, he just nodded silently and collected most of the 'royal jelly'.
"Xiao'er, your grandfather's cultivation is indeed at a critical point of breakthrough. If we can break through quickly, it can push our entire Ling family to a new height."
After Ling Shouxin said this, he immediately looked at the son in front of him, who had grown extremely tall, and said happily: "Xiao'er, you are now completely mature. As a father, I have nothing to say, I just hope
From now on, if you continue to maintain this momentum of bravery and diligence, maybe in my lifetime, I will be able to see the day when you break through to the Tianyuan realm and become a peerless master."
"Dad, I can, my dear, I will definitely be able to set foot in the realm of Tianyuan in this life." Ling Xiao said in a firm tone.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
After hearing this, Ling Shouxin said three good words in a row, and then put aside the somewhat boring topic and said: "We, the four major families in Black Rock City, hold the 'Young Genius Battle' every ten years. In half a month, we will have
It was completely convened.”
"Xiao'er, with your current fighting power, even if you can't win the first place among the top geniuses of the four major families, you can still be close to the top four, but you can still do a lot."
"So Xiao'er, in the next half month, you will recharge your batteries and hone your martial arts skills so that you can come out on top in the 'Young Genius Battle' in half a month and bring glory to our Ling family."
At this point, Ling Shouxin said in a low tone: "Twenty years ago, your father and I also participated in the 'Young Genius Battle' held by the four major families, but our reputation was not even among the top ten.
It’s a big regret in my life that I didn’t even qualify. I hope my son can make up for my regret.”
"Dad, don't worry, my child will definitely make a difference in the 'Young Genius Battle' between the four major families in half a month, so that your regrets can be compensated!"
After hearing these words, Ling Xiao said in a very firm tone.
"Of course, in addition to making up for my regrets this time, it is mainly because of the sky-high rewards you will get after winning the first place in the 'Genius Battle'."
"You must know that the reward for this 'genius war' between the four major families, which is held only once every ten years, is a total of four hundred 'Ding Yuan Pills'. This Ding Yuan Pill is a rumored third-grade elixir.
It is provided to masters of the Earth Yuan Realm and is extremely valuable. Each pill is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver. Although the four hundred Ding Yuan Pills awarded this time are jointly provided by the four major families, each family also has to
If you offer one hundred taels, if converted into silver, it would be a full one million taels."
When Ling Shouxin said this, his tone started to tremble: "Xiao'er, if you can come out on top in this 'genius battle' and get the first place, you can win three million taels for your family.
The income is equivalent to the savings of my Ling family for more than ten years, which is unimaginable!"
"Four hundred Ding Yuan Pills? A reward worth millions of taels of silver!?"
Hearing these words, even though Ling Xiao was a mature and prudent man for two generations, he couldn't help but gasped: "The rewards of the 'Young Genius Battle' of these four major families are too huge. It is really a big deal. It can be called
Somewhat crazy!”
Looking at Ling Xiao, Ling Shouxin sighed and said: "This is also a strategy, a kind of competition. Among the four major families in Black Rock City, our Ling family is the weakest and the last, so we engage in this 'Youth Genius War'. In the end,
The winner will most likely be a genius from the other three companies.
In this way, the winning family can use the resources of the other three families to train their own children, which can be said to be a profound calculation."
"Every time the winner is almost always from the Chu, Wang, and Zhang families?"
After hearing what Ling Shouxin said, Ling Xiao's brows furrowed tightly.
Originally, in his plan, he didn't care much about the so-called 'young genius war' between the four major families.
Even if it was out of regret to fill the gap for his father, he just made a little effort and did not intend to force it.
But at this moment, Ling Xiao has made a big change, that is, he must perform well and come out on top in the 'Young Genius Battle'.
This is not only to make up for Ling Shouxin's regrets and to give the entire family a sigh of relief, but also for the terrifying reward, a total of four hundred third-grade elixirs, 'Dingyuan Pill'.
You know, Ling Xiao has the memory of his previous life, and he was a top alchemy master in his previous life, so he didn't pay much attention to the priceless 'Dingyuan Pill' at first. Because he can make it himself
Made.
However, it was a bit unrealistic for him to refine it at this time, because the refining of elixirs, especially the refining of high-level elixirs, not only requires top-level elixir furnaces, but also requires massive amounts of materials.
But Ling Xiao doesn't have any of these now.
Therefore, the 'Ding Yuan Pill', which was not very precious to him in his previous life, now seems much more attractive.
Ling Xiao secretly thought about this, and his tone suddenly changed: "Father, in the 'Young Genius Battle' between the four major families in half a month, I will definitely defeat the talents of the other three families and win the first place!"
When Ling Xiao said this, the light in his eyes flickered slightly, and his tone was firm and resounding, like a mountain breaking apart!
In his previous life, Ling Xiao was also a master in the Tianyuan realm. Although he was not strong compared to his enemies, within the small Black Rock City, he believed that those young men, no matter how talented they were, would not be his opponents.
Moreover, according to the memory of the previous life, there is also an alchemy furnace abandoned by a high-level alchemy master in the venue of this genius battle.
Although this alchemy furnace was discarded by others, it was still very precious and suitable for Ling Xiao's use at this time.
During this battle of geniuses, if Ling Xiao can obtain this alchemy furnace, he will have enough capital to refine the third-grade elixir 'Ding Yuan Dan' after his cultivation breakthrough in the future.
Especially after his cultivation reaches the peak of the Pulse Condensation Stage and reaches the Earth Yuan Realm, if he refines a large number of Ding Yuan Pills, it will be enough for his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds...and all of this needs to be done.
The prerequisite is to get to that alchemy furnace.
"For the refining of high-grade elixirs, the elixir furnace and materials are indispensable. Among them, the elixir furnace is especially important."
Ling Xiao thought to himself: "Especially for elixirs that have reached the third grade or above, if there is no matching elixir furnace, the success rate of refining the elixir will be very low. In this way, the loss of materials will be
, it will be unimaginable, even if there are more than a dozen Ling families combined, it will not be enough."
There is nothing wrong with Ling Xiao's idea.
You know, if you want to refine high-grade elixirs, you need a large amount of precious materials.
Two copies of these materials may still be bearable, but coupled with the consumption of failed refining, it will be terrifying.
This is the main reason why there are many advanced warriors in the whole world, but there are not many alchemists. It is because the cost of training alchemists is too high.
Unless it is a truly top sect, it will be difficult to support a decent alchemist.
It is precisely because of this that Ling Xiao is very concerned about the alchemy furnace hidden in Sunset Canyon in his memory.
Ling Mansion, in the courtyard where Ling Xiao is.
Ling Xiao and his son talked in depth for a long time. After half a day passed, Ling Shouxin, who was a little fat, walked out with more than ten jars in his hands and a smile on his face.
The old servant Uncle Fu, who was standing guard in the yard, saw this scene. Although he was a little confused and didn't know why his master was so happy this time, he did not go forward to ask.
Just like that, Ling Shouxin left with more than ten jars filled with 'royal jelly'.
Ling Xiao watched his father after him until his back was completely invisible, then he withdrew his gaze and entered the courtyard where he belonged.
"Uncle Fu, I need an alchemy furnace for refining alchemy. Please help me buy one from a shop outside."
Entering the courtyard, Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then whispered instructions to the old servant Uncle Fu who was standing by.
"An alchemy furnace for alchemy?"
Uncle Fu asked a little strangely: "Master, do you want to practice the art of alchemy and refine some elixirs yourself?"
Facing Uncle Fu's doubts, Ling Xiao nodded and said, "I found a simple elixir recipe. I thought it was very interesting, so I wanted to try to refine it myself. I don't know whether it will work or not."
Ling Xiao's words were obviously polite and did not mean what he said.
You know, Ling Xiao was a well-known alchemy master in his previous life. At his peak, he was even able to refine elixirs that reached the fifth level.
At that time, many big forces wanted to win over him and hired him as their exclusive alchemy master at the expense of various treasures and beauties.
At that time, it could be said to be the most glorious moment in Ling Xiao's previous life. Even masters who had reached the Tianyuan realm were licking their faces and begging him to make elixirs.
