There was silence in the room.
The dark crystal ball gave off a faint light, and the light reflected Li Luo's uncertain face, making it look a little strange.
Now he is undoubtedly trapped in an extremely difficult choice.
The empty phase in his body, with the efforts of his parents, suddenly gave him great hope and dawn, but what he didn't expect was that this hope would require such a heavy price.
Only five years left to live.
If he cannot step into the feudal realm and evolve his life form within five years, then his lifespan will be completely ended.
Five years as a marquis?
He is seventeen years old now, and five years from now, he will be twenty-three years old... As far as Li Luo knows, it seems that there has never been such a young feudal lord in the history of Daxia.
What kind of talent, opportunity and hard work is required to create such a miracle?
Li Luo didn't know... So at this moment, he felt a huge pressure coming over him, making it difficult to breathe.
Now, he can continue to choose to be mediocre. The Luo Lan Mansion left by his parents can be regarded as a big inheritance. Even if he cannot control it, if he is willing to make a lot of concessions, it is indeed impossible to be a rich and idle person.
question.
And if he chooses this acquired path, he must keep tight at all times. He must race against time, squeeze every ounce of his potential with all his strength, and then fight against the sky to win that extra difficult chance of survival.
How to choose between the two?
Li Luo slowly closed his eyes, his mind surging.
At this moment, he thought a lot. He thought about the strange eyes in the school. They liked to talk about the words of a tiger father and a dog son, and why such excellent parents have so much water in their children.
He also thought of those pure and beautiful golden eyes. Deep down in his heart, he naturally had a bit of love and yearning for Jiang Qing'e. Li Luo did not deny this. After all, as he said, Jiang Qing'e's
Being excellent means having great appeal to peers. Being a fair lady and being a gentleman means being jealous. This is not shameful, it is just human nature.
In fact, Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e have been competing with each other in many aspects since they were young. However, due to various reasons, Li Luo most likely loses more and wins less. And this kind of competition continues as the two gradually grow up.
After growing up, it gradually became less and less.
Especially when the Xiang Palace opened, Li Luo knew that the gap between the two sides was widening.
From that time onwards, Jiang Qing'e rarely compared herself with him in this regard.
These years of experiences have made Li Luo seem to have become much calmer. However, only Li Luo himself knows how strong a desire to win is contained deep in his heart.
The transaction with Jiang Qing'e may not have been a form of persecution by him.
Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for him to catch up with Jiang Qing'e, who had already left him far behind. However, now... there is a little hope.
Should he give up this little hope?
The answer is...impossible!
Li Luo suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sharper than ever before.
He stared at the light and shadow of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan in front of him, and said softly: "Dad, Mom, actually I have always had an ambition, although this ambition may seem a bit ridiculous and overestimating my abilities to others..."
"I not only want to catch up with Sister Qing'e, but I also want to surpass her. Not only her, I also want to... surpass you."
He grinned and showed his white teeth: "I want that when others see me in the future, they will not say that this is the son of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan... but I want them to say when they see you... this is
The parents of the legendary Li Luo."
Li Luo smiled low and said: "Mom and dad, I am very grateful to you for giving me such a gift on my seventeenth birthday."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down. I'm just going to be a Marquis for five years...Okay, I, Li Luo, will accept this challenge!"
When the last word fell, Li Luo's eyes became determined. Immediately, without any hesitation, he directly stretched out his palm and pressed it directly on the black crystal ball.
laugh!
The crystal ball suddenly reacted violently. At this moment, Li Luo felt severe pain in his palm, as if countless long needles were piercing into his palm.
Then, the black crystal ball began to slowly split at this time, and in the deepest part of its interior, two objects lay quietly.
One object is a black jade slip. If the prediction is correct, it should contain the so-called "Small Phaseless Divine Forging Technique".
The other thing is a strange thing. It seems to be a liquid, and it seems to be some kind of illusory light flow. It shows a blue color, and the blue color reflects the subtle sacred light.
Li Luo's eyes were fixed on the mysterious thing that looked like liquid and flow of light.
He knew that this was the thing that could change his destiny... an acquired look that his parents had worked so hard to refine.
And he could also feel that when he saw this thing for the first time, he had a sense of compatibility that came from the depths of his soul.
It was as if this thing was originally born from his body.
It seems that as my parents said, this acquired appearance was forged from his soul and blood essence, and the two are naturally incomparable.
"well..."
And when Li Luo stared obsessively at that mysterious "acquired appearance", a sigh containing complex emotions sounded softly.
Li Luo looked up and saw that the lights and shadows of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan were moving again, and their expressions showed some complexity.
"Xiao Luo, it seems you have made a choice." Li Taixuan said slowly.
"As your father, your choice makes me feel a little sad, but from a man's perspective, it makes me feel gratified and proud."
"Although your road ahead will be full of difficulties and obstacles, how can I, Li Taixuan's son, be afraid of these?"
Tantai Lan on the side seemed to have water sparkling in her eyes. When she left this image, she must have felt extremely uncomfortable thinking about Li Luo making such a choice. After all, as a mother, it was difficult for her to accept it.
My child only has five years left to live in the future.
However, she did not dissuade him, because she also knew that this choice could only be made by Li Luo himself, and since he had made the choice, she would only support him and believe in him with all her strength.
"Xiao Luo...since you have made your choice, let me tell you about this acquired look that we have refined for you."
Hearing Tantai Lan's words, Li Luo's spirit was also lifted.
"This acquired appearance, your father and I went through countless tests and attempts before we found the most suitable thing from countless materials and finally made it."
"This phase is of the fourth grade, with the water phase as the main one and the light phase as the supplement."
When Li Luo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "How can this... be a water element?"
Although there is no distinction between high and low elemental phases, if we want to talk about attack power and destructive power, fire, thunder, metal, etc. are naturally the strongest. Among the many phases, the water phase is biased towards
The kind that is gentle and gentle, this kind of nature is obviously a bit softer.
He obviously didn't expect that the first acquired phase refined by his parents for him would be of this nature.
"Haha, Xiao Luo, do you feel that the water element is weak and does not suit what you have in mind? Don't underestimate the water element. The water element may be weaker in attack and damage, but its long and powerful meaning is better than other elements.
, as long as you can take advantage of the water phase, it is not weaker than any other phase.”
"And... your water phase is not ordinary, because it is supplemented by the light phase. The combination of water and light, if you can develop it well, the final effect may be beyond your expectation."
"Of course, in the end, your father and mother will determine the first phase for you as water and light, and there are two other extremely important reasons."
"After you integrate this first acquired phase, you will lose a lot of essence and blood, and the loss of lifespan will also bring you great trauma. The water phase is warm and moist, and the water phase obtained through cultivation
Its power can also nourish your injured body and help you recover quickly."
Li Luo suddenly realized that it turned out to be the case. If we want to talk about moisturizing and repairing injuries, then the water phase and the light phase are indeed the best.
"What about the second reason?" Li Luo thought curiously.
He didn't wait too long to ask his question. Li Taixuan smiled and said: "The second reason is that we hope you can become a physiognomist to assist your future practice."
"Do you remember the basic requirements for a physiognomist?"
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but reply: "The basic condition for a tempering master is that he has...the water phase or the light phase?"
Xiangxing is so popular that it has naturally spawned many auxiliary professions. Xiangxing Master is one of them. Its ability is to refine many spiritual water and strange lights that can refine and improve the quality of Xiangxing.
In addition, there are alchemists, but this requires attributes such as wood and fire.
There are also physiognomist masters who create various physiognomy tools, which require the properties of metal, fire, earth and so on.
The phase tempering master is somewhat similar to the alchemist, but the essential difference is that the phase tempering master can only improve the quality of phase, while most of the elixirs refined by the alchemy master can improve the power of phase.
Both the water phase and the light phase have the effect of purification, so they are the basic and necessary conditions for becoming a phase quencher.
"But why do you want to become a physiognomist?" Li Luo was a little confused.
But before he could ask, Li Taixuan's voice had already sounded: "Because you possess the empty phase, you can temper your own phase qualities without limit. If you become a phase temperer, you will have a deeper understanding of this in the future.
