"You asked me to accompany you to the East China Sea. No. This is not possible." Ling Jiutian shook his head immediately. He was joking. He is still busy surrounding the old basilisk. Moreover, the war between the two countries is about to begin. He still has a lot of things to do. I'm busy. I don't have time to accompany Tao'er to make trouble without reason.
"Hmph. People know that Uncle Ling doesn't pay much attention to others. If something happens to us along the way, it will be your fault. If grandpa asks, just tell him: Tao'er was killed by Ling Jiutian. "
"This..." Ling Jiutian began to sweat on his forehead. Xiao Taoer's ability to mess around has improved greatly.
"It shouldn't be that serious. Just go for a walk to the East China Sea. I remember there's no danger there. As for sea monsters, they only exist in legends. I haven't heard of anyone encountering sea monsters while going out to sea in the past hundreds of years. .”
Tao'er said plausibly: "Where did the legend come from? The legend is that it has existed before. Who can say that we will never encounter it? Uncle Ling, look at us. If we really encounter a sea monster, we won't even be able to fill the gap between its teeth. Moreover, ...Who said we were going to the beach for a walk? We want to go to the sea."
"Going to the sea. Why are you going to the sea?" Ling Jiutian asked strangely. Then he had an idea. He snapped his fingers and said, "Xiao Taoer, since you want to go to the sea, uncle has a good thing."
Tao'er curled her lips and said dissatisfied: "You lied to me again. Didn't you just say that you wouldn't give me fun things? But now you've revealed your fox's tail."
Ling Jiutian's face was hot. He must not continue talking to Tao'er. If he continued talking, he would really be unable to get off the stage. He quickly took out a golden pouch from the storage ring and opened it gently. There were seven pieces inside. The aqua blue pills are faintly glowing with water. They are extremely magical.
He explained: "This is a water-proof bead. It can ensure that you can breathe freely underwater. One can last for about three hours. If combined with wind spells, it can be increased to four hours. What? You have to look for it underwater. It would be very useful if it were something."
"That's great." Tao'er snatched it up and played with it in her hand. "People know that Uncle Ling is the best. So, is there anything else?"
Ling Jiutian was helpless. This water-proof bead was priceless after all. It was not a street cabbage. How could it be said that there was such a thing? He happened to see such a rare thing at an auction last time and wanted to collect it. . would spend a lot of money to buy it. If it weren't for Xiao Tao'er, he would never give it to someone else.
Sensing Ling Jiutian's bottom line, Tian Lan came out to the rescue at the right time and said: "Tao'er, please don't embarrass Senior Ling anymore. Senior Ling still has things to do."
"Since A-Lan said so, then... okay." She pouted and said it reluctantly, as if she had been wronged a lot.
Ling Jiutian looked at Tianlan gratefully. He had saved him from dire straits. The more he looked at the young man, the more he liked him. He almost cried with gratitude and made him sworn in.
Tao'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle Ling, you see our strength is so low. Shouldn't you...right?" As she said that, she winked at him. The meaning was obvious.
Ling Jiutian feels depressed. He thinks that your four or five-star cultivation levels are still relatively low, so you can already stand alone, okay? Who can have such a good cultivation level when you are so young?
"I told you. I can't accompany you."
"Hmph. Who cares?" Tao'er wrinkled her little nose and said, "I asked you to find a way to improve our cultivation."
"Baby Taoer, your request is even more difficult." Ling Jiutian was about to cry but had no tears. "If I had that kind of method to quickly improve my cultivation, I would have been kidnapped and tortured by now. And I He is a sorcerer. He knows nothing about martial arts. If I could give some advice to the boy who uses wind, it would be okay..."
Tao'er was waiting for his words. She immediately said, "Then please give some advice to A Lan."
"Hey." Ye Yi grinned and gave Tao'er a thumbs up. "Tao girl, that's interesting."
Tao'er tossed her head. Her long hair floated over, bringing with it a hint of fragrance. She said proudly, "Of course."
Ling Jiutian sighed helplessly. He couldn't help but sigh that the female college student had no choice but to turn her elbows outward so early. How embarrassing for an elder. But he had this plan. It was rare to meet a wind warlock with good qualifications. Please give me some advice. This sentence is also appropriate. It is like a wanderer in a foreign land who suddenly meets a person who can speak his hometown dialect. Even if he has never met this person before, he will inadvertently feel good about him. This is the so-called feeling of similarity.
He coughed twice, trying to act like an elder, and said, "Boy, what's your name?"
Tian Lan bowed slightly and said, "Junior Tian Lan."
"Well. Then release your spiritual energy first. Let me see what level you have reached." Under normal circumstances, if a person does not use spells for a long time, the fluctuations of the surrounding elements will not be obvious. It is difficult to distinguish the specific cultivation level of this person. Because I can only roughly sense his level. You must know that for both five-star players, the gap between the early stage and the middle stage is very large. Each small level may become an insurmountable chasm for life.
Tian Lan did not hide anything and directly released all the spiritual energy. Ling Jiutian felt a buzzing sound. It seemed that the wind elements around him had been detonated. They swarmed towards him like crazy. Almost instantly, the wind gathered. The elements are dense enough to form an almost substantial halo.
"Five-star peak..." Ling Jiutian felt like he was about to faint. He clearly remembered that when he was in Lingxiao City, this boy only had a four-star cultivation level. Even if he had some strength left at that time, he was only in the early stage of five-star level in just a few months. How is it possible to cross the mid-term, late-stage, and jump to the five-star peak?
Tao'er said with a smile: "What's so surprising? It only took a few days for A-Lan to reach the peak from the early five-star stage. Uncle Ling, a senior like you, must teach you well. If you are still not as good as A-Lan, It’s so embarrassing.”
Ye Yi didn't hear what she meant. He said blankly: "Such a dangerous upgrade. To be honest, I don't want to see it again."
Ling Jiutian was in a daze. He thought back to the time when he, a self-proclaimed genius, spent three or four years from the early five-star stage, to the mid-term, late stage, and to the peak. In order to speed up his cultivation, he practiced almost masochistically. He encountered life and death crises alone. More than a dozen times. Hundreds of battles, big and small. He really has experienced hundreds of battles. If it hadn't been for that time... he would have turned into a handful of loess.
Tian Lan saw that he was distracted and said: "Senior, if you are in a hurry to find Senior Li, please do your best."
"By the way, uncle. You haven't told us why you are causing trouble for the strange old man."
"This..." Ling Jiutian's eyes avoided. Apparently he was unwilling to explain this issue.
Tao'er volunteered: "Are you talking about Li Wuqing? People know it. Come on, come on. Tao'er will tell you..."
"Don't, don't, don't. It's up to me to speak for myself." Ling Jiutian rushed to say. If Tao'er told him, God knows whether his reputation would be ruined in one day.
Tao'er smiled and pushed Ling Jiutian to a table in the corner. She forced him down on the chair and said, "Uncle Ling is going to tell a story. Come and listen." She said and poured herself a glass. Tea. It was a good time to relax. Tianlan and Ye Yi looked at each other and smiled. No one knew that it would evolve to this, so they had to sit down.
Four people sat around a table. Under Tao'er's urging, Ling Jiutian finally spoke:
"Twenty years ago, I was young and full of energy. I wanted to make a career, not relying on my family, but my own achievements. And although I was practicing fast, I was still not satisfied. I heard that I could find another way. I am a slant and rely on fighting to hone myself. So I ignored my father’s objections and ran away from home without telling him.”
Tao'er said "Wow" and clapped her hands and said, "I didn't expect Uncle Ling to have done such a heroic thing. He ran away from home. Well, Tao'er also wants to learn from you."
Ling Jiutian's head was suddenly filled with black lines. He thought to himself, you don't need to learn. I can't even compare to a hair of yours. I just want to bring trouble to my father. How about you? I've brought trouble to everyone who can bring trouble to you, and you're still not satisfied...
Tian Lan listened with a smile, thinking that Ling Jiutian was somewhat similar to himself. Although the reasons were different, they both resolutely left behind their luxurious identities and walked into the bloody chaos of the outside world.
Ling Jiutian continued: "I didn't understand anything back then. I was self-righteous. As a result, I was tricked several times as soon as I left home. I ended up penniless. My staff was taken away. I didn't even have the money to pay for my return journey. I was I was almost desperate. As a last resort, I had to compromise and join a small mercenary group that had just been established. As you know, ordinary warlocks look down on the low-end profession of mercenaries. What's more, I come from a wealthy family. Originally, I was a mercenary. I won't become a mercenary even if I die. But the reality is not as I originally thought. I met several companions there. They are all kind-hearted and heroic men. In that small group There was no intrigue, no fighting, no betrayal or exploitation... In the process of getting along, I truly understood myself. I finally let go of my status, talked with them as peers, and integrated into that small group."
He paused and looked into the distance. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to be recalling the distant past. Twenty years ago, several young people supported each other and struggled together in this real world. Survive. Make unremitting efforts. No matter how great the difficulties and obstacles are, as long as we have each other's backs to rely on, there will be no end in sight. Now that I think of those hell-like days, I am so nostalgic and yearning...
"We live and die together. We have accumulated a deep friendship. The mercenary group is slowly growing stronger. Everything is developing in a good direction. Until that day. That day. We took on a super difficult mission. Originally, I was there. If I were here, the task should be easily solved. But at that time, I suddenly met the family members. They told me that my father was seriously ill in bed and in critical condition. I didn't have time to think about it at all. I was so anxious that I didn't even say hello. Hurry back to your family as quickly as possible..."
"What's the result?" Ye Yi had already heard it. Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking midway, he couldn't help but urge.
