Facing Hai Tian's question, the old man did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Hai Tian with burning eyes, as if he could see through Hai Tian's whole body.
"It's strange, young man, what kind of skills are you practicing? You have obviously become a six-star swordsman, why don't I feel the existence of the sword spirit in your body?" The old man frowned. He just used his sword sense to explore Hai Tian's body.
of injuries.
To his surprise, Haitian had recovered more than half of his body in just a moment. It would be impossible for ordinary people to recover without a day or two of effort, but it only took Haitian less than a quarter of an hour.
What really surprised him was that the sword spirit that was supposed to be in Hai Tian's body actually seemed to not exist, and there was not the slightest trace of it.
However, Hai Tian was greatly shocked when he heard this. You must know that he has learned the breath gathering technique now, and it would be impossible to observe it without the strength of Jian Zong.
But this old man not only accurately stated his true strength, but also saw that there was no sword spirit in his dantian. Could it be said that this old man was a master of the Sword Sect or above?
If so, why didn't Hai Tian notice any fluctuation in the sword spirit power of this old man?
Even a true master of the sword god level would not be able to shrink all the sword spirit power in his body, unless he has the same breath gathering technique as him.
Nowadays, even Tanzan, the Nine-Star Sword Emperor, cannot threaten his life, but this mysterious old man has a sword consciousness that is even more powerful than the Sword Emperor, enough to threaten his safety.
Hai Tian was completely on guard, and carefully stared at the scrawny old man in front of him: "Answer my question first, who are you?"
Seeing Hai Tian being so nervous, the old man smiled slightly: "Young man, you don't have to worry so much. You should be able to feel that I don't have any sword spirit power in my body, so I won't pose any threat to you at all."
"That's right, big brother, grandpa will not hurt you." The little boy next to him also persuaded him.
Having said that, Hai Tian was not stupid enough to give up his vigilance completely. He did not want to try that feeling of life being out of his control again.
Seeing that Hai Tian was still so wary, a trace of helplessness flashed across the old man's face: "I didn't expect that you still don't believe it. Don't you feel something strange from me?"
"Weird?" Hai Tian was startled when he heard this, and then he carefully used his sword sense to detect the old man in front of him.
Suddenly, Hai Tian noticed an energy from the old man's body. It was not the pure sword spirit power, but a very special energy. Hai Tian had experienced this energy in his previous life, but he couldn't remember it in this short time.
.
After thinking hard for a while, Hai Tian suddenly shouted: "By the way, this is a seal! And it's the seal of the Tauren clan!"
Hearing Hai Tian's words, a trace of surprise flashed across the old man's calm face: "Young man, it's not easy to know that this is a seal, but I didn't expect you to actually know that this is the seal of the Tauren clan."
"Uh?" Hai Tian was stunned. In this Soul Sword Continent, not all people belong to human beings.
In some sparsely populated places, there are many humanoid races.
Like humans, these humanoids can also practice. Although it is much more difficult to practice than humans, a humanoid master who is successful in cultivation can fight against two or three human masters of the same level.
If their number hadn't been too small, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been humans, but these humanoids, occupying the main area of the Soul Sword Continent.
The tauren clan mentioned by Haitian just now is a relatively powerful clan among the humanoids.
This tauren is a race of minotaurs with human bodies. Hai Tian had some friendship with the tauren clan leader in his previous life, and he had some understanding of the exclusive seal of the tauren clan. He was too nervous just now, so he didn't notice it.
"Young man, who are you? How could you tell that this is the seal of the Tauren clan?" The smile on the old man's face disappeared, replaced by a look of solemnity.
Many humans don't know much about these humanoid races, and many people have even never heard of it. A six-star swordsman from Haitian not only knows about the Minotaur clan, but can also see the seal of the Minotaur clan, which naturally makes the old man very puzzled.
.
Facing the old man's question, Haitian really didn't know how to answer. He couldn't let him say that he had some friendship with the Tauren clan leader in his previous life, and had studied some of the Tauren clan's seals, right?
Even if Hai Tian said it, the old man probably wouldn't believe it.
Seeing that Hai Tian was silent for a long time, the old man nodded slightly: "Everyone has their own secrets. If you don't want to tell them, then forget it."
Hearing this, Hai Tian felt a lot more relaxed, and finally no longer had to use his brain cells to make up excuses.
"Young man, I want to ask you a favor." The old man, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said.
Hai Tian raised his head: "You want me to help you find calf grass?"
The old man nodded in surprise: "Yes, I didn't expect you to have guessed it. It seems that you have a deep understanding of the tauren clan, and you even know about tauren."
"The seal of the Tauren clan is very special. To be lifted, three conditions must be met. In addition to the calf grass mentioned above, a Xuan-level high-level sword must be used as a guide, and a sword king-level master must be used.
Just use it. You don't think I have this ability, do you?" Currently, Hai Tian only has six-star swordsmen, and he is still far away from being the swordsman.
The old man stared at Hai Tian closely, with a look of shock in his eyes again: "You actually know everything. This is information I only obtained after many years of research."
"Brother, since you know so clearly, please save my grandpa." When the little boy next to him heard what Hai Tian said clearly, he immediately thought that Hai Tian could save his grandpa, and hurriedly climbed to Hai Tian's feet and begged.
.
Hai Tian looked at the little boy with a wry smile. If there were other requests, he would definitely not refuse. But let alone looking for calf grass, it is difficult to find even high-level Xuan-level swords, and a sword king is also required.
Where can I find such expert support?
The old man said nothing, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
He has been waiting here for many years, and finally has a glimmer of hope of success, but this glimmer of hope will soon be shattered.
"Young man, of course you won't do these things for me in vain. I promise you that once I lift the seal and regain my strength, I can help you do something within my capabilities. Anything will do, even if you ask me
You can also kill the emperor of the Sangma Empire." The old man pondered for a while and then suddenly said.
"Then after you regain your strength, will you be a sword sect?" If you have the help of the sword sect, it will be much easier to find his family.
But the old man shook his head: "No, although I really want to break through to the Sword Sect, I am only a Nine-Star Sword King."
"Ah? Nine-star Sword Emperor? But your sword sense..." Hai Tian looked at the old man in surprise. He had clearly felt that the old man's sword sense had completely surpassed him. You must know that his sword sense has returned to the peak of the Sword Emperor.
, if he surpasses him, then he is the Sword Sect.
Seeing the confusion on Hai Tian's face, the old man smiled bitterly and said: "I had already reached the peak of the Nine-Star Sword King when I was sealed, and I was only one step away from breaking through. Because I was sealed and unable to practice, my strength has not improved over the years.
Despite progress, there are still signs of regression. I believe you also understand, young man, that a swordsman’s cultivation in the later stages is mainly about his understanding of heaven and earth.”
"So, your soul has broken through to the level of the Sword Sect?" Hai Tian raised his eyebrows in surprise. Although he can still understand the world after being sealed, it is much more difficult than before.
Under such circumstances, the old man was still able to break through.
When the old man fully recovers his strength, he will become a strong man at the sword sect level. Although there is only one chance, as long as he has his help, the search for his family will definitely be much smoother.
Hai Tian has gradually accepted this proposal in his heart.
"I can promise you, but the territory of the Tauren clan is too far away from the Sangma Empire. With my current strength, it will probably take a long time to go back and forth." Hai Tian frowned, and the territory of the Tauren clan was too far away.
It is at the westernmost end of the Soul Sword Continent, while the Sangma Empire is in the east.
With his current strength, the round trip might take several years, not counting the dangers on the road.
"I don't think it's a big problem, it's just a trivial matter." Perhaps because of Hai Tian's agreement, the old man was in a good mood and there were more smiles on his face.
The little boy next to him was also jumping around Hai Tian excitedly, making Hai Tian seem to see Xiao Yu when he was a child again.
Touched by the scene, Hai Tian became more determined to find his family.
"This is such a small thing? Old man, do you know that this calf grass is difficult to obtain, and it is also extremely precious to the Tauren clan. It only grows in the forbidden areas of the Tauren clan, where there are countless experts guarding it. Just me
With this little strength, you will be discovered before you even get close." Hai Tian raised his head in dissatisfaction.
After hearing what Hai Tian said, a look of surprise appeared on the old man's face again: "Young man, who are you? How come you know all this?"
Seeing that Hai Tian had no intention of answering, the old man did not continue to dwell on this issue. Instead, he nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, there is also a calf plant in Black Stone City."
"Black Rock City? How is that possible?" This time it was Hai Tian's turn to be surprised.
"Yes, it's in the Nazaru family's treasure house. It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary old man now and don't have any sword power. Otherwise, I would have snatched the calf grass away." A flash appeared on the old man's face.
There was a hint of regret, but then he raised his head and smiled, "Although I don't know how you practice, but with your Sword Emperor-level soul power, no one in the Saru family can discover your existence. I believe you can learn from Saru
The calf grass was stolen from the family's treasury."
"The Salu family?" Hai Tian clenched his fists tightly. The Salu family had forced him to have no place to hide before, and he had not yet avenged his revenge.
"Very good, then I'll start taking action tonight." Hai Tian smiled confidently. Not even the Sword Emperor was aware of his presence, let alone a great swordsman like Pali.
"By the way, I still don't know your names?" Haitian then remembered that he didn't even know their names.
The old man smiled slightly, pointed to the little boy lying in his arms and said: "His name is Wei Hai, he is my little grandson. And my name is Wei He."
"Wei He?" Hai Tian suddenly felt a sense of familiarity when he heard this name. After pondering for a while, he suddenly raised his head and exclaimed, "Are you Wei He, the disciple of Old Ghost Li?"
