"Unless you are willing to swear to nourish me with a drop of your essence and blood every day from now on, it will be about three hundred years before I can no longer rely on the immortal roots and completely transform into the weapon spirit of the tripod.
"
"Okay, I agree!" Qu Wuming agreed without thinking.
Lingnu didn't expect that Qu Wuming would agree so simply.
Essence and blood are not fresh blood, but special blood condensed from the heart of a cultivator. It contains the original power of its owner. It is a rare thing that combines the essence of the cultivator's magic power and the essence of life. If there is insufficient essence and blood in the body,
, it will greatly affect the growth of cultivation and improvement of strength - you know, even a monk with extraordinary qualifications can only condense two or three drops of blood essence every day.
Even in the True Immortal Realm, there are very few people who are willing to use their hard-earned blood essence to save others, let alone in this lower realm where spiritual energy is relatively thin!
"You have to think carefully. One drop of blood essence every day may greatly affect your cultivation progress and reduce your strength!"
"I've thought about it! If you are worried, I can make a blood oath and never deceive you." As he said this, Qu Wuming actually bit his fingertips and drew a blood oath formation without hesitation.
He made a blood oath, and the spirit slave in the cauldron was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
"In that case...then do as you wish!"
As soon as Ling Nu finished speaking, light flashed from the mouth of the cauldron, and a lotus root node as big as a little finger flew out from under a ball of cyan light, floating quietly in front of Qu Wuming.
Just listen to Ling Nu continue to say: "The Ninth-grade Golden Lotus has a total of two immortal roots. I can only give you one at the moment. I think it is enough to make up for her three souls and seven souls. As for the remaining one, I will give it to you later."
A hundred years later, I can take it out to you after I transform it into a precious tripod weapon spirit."
"Okay! Thank you very much!" Qu Wuming put the tripod back into the storage ring, carefully grasped the lotus root in the palm of his hand, and then gently placed it in Lin Wanqing's mouth.
Strange to say, after the entrance of the lotus joint, it suddenly turned into a ball of green light and disappeared into Lin Wanqing's body.
Lin Wanqing seemed to be unconscious and still fell into a deep sleep. However, after a moment, her body began to be enveloped in a layer of faint green light. The green light seemed to contain a strong breath of life. As Lin Wanqing fainted,
The light and dark flicker with the breath.
After a while, the green light gradually disappeared into Lin Wanqing's body, and her pale face gradually turned rosy. Although her internal energy was still dissipating, the breath of life suddenly became much stronger.
"Qing'er!"
"younger sister!"
Upon seeing this, Lin Yuan and his son hurriedly stepped forward and surrounded Lin Wanqing.
Lin Wanqing's slender eyelashes were seen moving slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother..." Lin Wanqing opened her eyes and saw the concerned eyes of her relatives, "Brother Qu..."
"Qing'er, you finally woke up!" Lin Yuan and his son couldn't stop their tears from falling again.
"Dad, don't be sad..." Lin Wanqing wanted to raise her arms to wipe away her father's tears, but she still didn't have any strength in her body and couldn't even lift her arms.
"Brother Qu, can I still recover?" Lin Wanqing seemed to know something, and there was a flash of light in her eyes when she looked at Qu Wuming.
Qu Wuming gritted his teeth and shook his head helplessly.
"Although I seemed to be in a coma before, I seemed to be very conscious, as if I was a shadow floating on my body. I can see you and hear you, but no matter how I shout, you all feel
Without me..." Lin Wanqing's voice was trembling, as if she was suppressing herself from crying, "I actually heard what Brother Qu said to the 'person' in the tripod just now...
Now that things have happened, I have accepted my fate... Brother Qu, thank you!"
Qu Wuming said softly from the side: "Don't accept your fate. Since the spirit slave has said that your soul power will definitely enable you to reincarnate smoothly, then there is still hope."
"But even if I come back reincarnated, will my father and my brothers still be there?" Lin Wanqing's eyes finally shed two lines of hot tears, "Even if I come back reincarnated, will I still be able to see you? I have seen you.
, will I still recognize you?"
Qu Wuming was speechless, and tears flashed in his eyes.
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother," Lin Wanqing's eyes fell on each person's face reluctantly, as if she wanted to engrav the four people's faces firmly in the depths of her soul, "I'm sorry, Qing'er's life
I caused you a lot of trouble, but I couldn't accompany you to the end..."
"No, Qing'er, don't say that." Lin Yuan held Lin Wanqing's hand and sobbed, "It's because daddy didn't protect you!"
"Dad, if you and I both have an afterlife, I really hope that you can become my child so that I can repay you double the kindness you have done to me."
"Qing'er..." Lin Yuan burst into tears when he heard this.
Suddenly, Lin Wanqing's body began to emit a holy, faint white light. Everyone present was stunned, as if they knew what was going to happen next.
Lin Wanqing smiled lightly and moved her gaze to Qu Wuming's face: "Brother Qu, my biggest dream in this life is to travel the world with a sword and become a chivalrous and righteous heroine. Although it is a pity that I have no chance to realize it, but
I'm so lucky to have met you in my last days..."
Qu Wuming's lips trembled, trying not to shed tears, but his vision had already become blurry.
"Brother Qu, thank you for allowing me to experience an almost perfect Jianghu dream in my last days." The smile on Lin Wanqing's face became more sincere and sunny, just like the way Qu Wuming looked when he first saw her.
But when this smile as bright as the spring sunshine fell into the eyes of Qu Wuming and others, it seemed as if they were witnessing a beautiful, holy flower blooming its last light before withering, which made people helpless and heartbroken.
"If what the spirit slave said is true, will you find a way to find me after I reincarnate in the future?"
"Yes!" Qu Wuming nodded, and two tears finally couldn't help but roll down.
Lin Wanqing smiled softly, and then said: "In that case, how about I follow the example of Brother Qu just now and make a vow with Brother Qu?"
"What oath?" Qu Wuming nodded, "Say it! Let's make it together."
"My life is short. At this moment, the people I feel most sorry for are my father and two brothers, and the one I feel most sorry for is Brother Qu..." Lin Wanqing said in a trembling voice, tears falling quietly from the corners of her eyes like broken pearls.
"If Brother Qu can help me protect the safety of my father and brother, I will make an oath with Brother Qu that after I am reincarnated in the future, even if I have forgotten everything, I will definitely come back to find Brother Qu, okay?"
"Okay!" Qu Wuming nodded seriously, "As long as you can come back, I am willing to protect your Lin family for the rest of my life and never abandon you!"
Lin Wanqing shook her head with difficulty, and said with a tearful smile: "Qing'er is not that selfish... Brother Qu is willing to protect my father and brother, and Qing'er is satisfied."
"No, I'm serious." Qu Wuming took Lin Wanqing's other hand and said softly, "As long as you can come back, I will wait for you for as long as possible."
A warm current surged in Lin Wanqing's heart. Feeling the warmth and strength coming from Qu Wuming's palm, Rourou asked: "How long will it take for you to be willing? For a hundred years or a thousand years?"
"I would like it for a hundred years or a thousand years!"
At this time, the white light emanating from Lin Wanqing's body became brighter and brighter.
Lin Wan looked at Qu Wuming's eyes with her clear eyes and said: "Then, I will make an oath. Three hundred years, at most three hundred years, I will definitely come back! By then, I will be a real heroine and be with Qu.
The eldest brother traveled around the world together and acted chivalrously and righteously..."
Before she finished her sentence, Lin Wanqing's body gradually became blurred involuntarily, as if turning into a human form made of white light. She raised her hand and gently brushed Qu Wuming's cheek, her eyes full of tenderness and reluctance.
.
Lin Wanqing's body gradually floated up, and under the gaze of Qu Wuming and others, it turned into a ball of white light spots and disappeared...
There were tears on Qu Wuming's face, but he didn't want to raise his hand to wipe them away. Instead, he picked up a hairpin from the stone bed.
That was the hairpin that just fell from Lin Wanqing's hair.
Qu Wuming gently stroked the hairpin and put it into his storage ring after a while. He looked sideways at the Lin family father and son who were crying together, and said in a deep voice: "Wait for me in the cave."
"Brother Qu, where are you going?" Lin Yuan stopped crying and asked.
"I'm going to kill some people!"
After saying that, Qu Wuming turned around and left the hidden cave, turned into a ray of light and headed straight for Hulan City.
————
In Hulan City.
People were coming and going on the streets, as busy as ever.
The same is true for the city lord's palace. Each government office handles people's disputes, maintains security and defense in the city, and repairs and maintains the streets and buildings in the city. There are people coming and going at the door of each government office, doing their own thing.
Qu Wuming walked expressionlessly on the street, step by step, his steps seemed extremely slow and heavy, but his figure seemed to move extremely fast, as if he had only taken a few steps, but he had already advanced more than ten feet.
distance.
Qu Wuming finally stopped for a moment in front of the tall gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Looking up at the gilded plaque at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, Qu Wuming suddenly had a sword in his palm. He swung out a sword energy and cut the plaque above his head into two pieces with a click!
Before the two soldiers standing guard at the door could even react, the sword-wielding man in front of them turned into a ray of light and rushed into the city lord's palace.
"Oops! Someone broke in with a sword!"
"Come quickly! Someone broke into the city lord's mansion with a sword!"
The guards shouted and rushed into the gate, but looking around, there was no sign of the man just now? Along the road, there were only servants and guards of the City Lord's Mansion who had been knocked unconscious...
