Chapter 14: Pills
The city lord of Los Angeles, Li Qitian, and Wang Shen gradually became old friends, so he asked Li Muchen to take the two to the city lord's mansion. He hugged Wang Shentong once when he was a baby, and he hasn't seen him since.
The two of them were stunned when they first saw the city lord, and they even forgot to say hello, but they still forced the sky to break the deadlock: "What's the matter? I'm different from what you imagined?"
"You're so much younger than we thought you were. This is Wang Shentong's heartfelt words. Before meeting Li Qitian himself, they had also heard of his achievements, Wang Shentong's imagination of the city lord of Los Angeles should be a middle-aged man who is not arrogant, although the person in front of him has a very short haircut, and his clothes are also in the style of a family uncle, but his beautiful face does not match the identity of the city lord at all, standing with Li Muchen, he is more like a brother. Now he knew whose beautiful face Li Muchen inherited.
Ji Lin nodded, I heard that this city lord of Los Angeles City is a strong man who breaks the army, and he has the ability to be ten thousand, and he is fifty years old, and he didn't expect to look so young.
When Li Qitian heard this, he laughed and said: "The realm of martial arts is like this, the higher the realm, the shallower the traces left by time on the body. Li Qitian poured tea for the two: "Sit casually, I have a good relationship with your father, but there may be less communication with you, don't be restrained." I heard that you were in Los Angeles, but I was too busy the other day, so I didn't come to see you until today. "Naturally, the lord of a city can't move around at will.
Wang Shentong knew what Li Qitian was busy with, a martial arts meeting was going to be held in the north in the near future, and the twenty-three cities in the jurisdiction were actively preparing, this was a fragrant bait, not to mention whether anyone in his city could get the top three and enjoy the gifts from the imperial court, just the traffic and attention attracted by holding this martial arts meeting could make everyone make a lot of money. But this martial arts will actually let the down-and-out border city of Los Angeles take it, there are rumors in the market, it is said that the city lord of Los Angeles showed the aura of a strong man in the big broken army at the meeting, you must know that most of the other city lords are in the reshaping realm, and even two of them are still in the third phase of the sea of knowledge, and the city lords above the broken army realm are only a handful of them, and they are all small broken military realms, and the big broken army realm is only one person. For this reason, he is also known as the king of the north.
The high realm of Li Qitian is naturally a bit beneficial, but it is not an absolute factor that can obtain the right to host this conference. The most popular cities in the twenty-three cities all have strong contestants, Li Muchen is one of them, he arrived in the third phase of the sea two years earlier, and he was pinned on by everyone, but it is a pity that this guy does not study martial arts, and he is swaying every day. Although Li Muchen is talented, no one has ever ranked him first, because there is a mountain-like figure in front of him.
When Li Qitian was talking to the two, Li Muchen was standing next to him with his hands behind his back, as well-behaved as a cat.
"I heard Mu Chen say that Xiao Tong contracted the periphery of the martial arts conference. Li Qitian asked.
"It's a little fight. "Wang Shentong is rarely modest.
Li Qitian laughed loudly: "It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, your father is still a hairy boy who doesn't know anything at this time." ”
"Uncle Li, did you know my father for a long time?" Wang Shentong was a little curious.
"Very early. Li Qitian didn't explain too much, but instead set his eyes on Yan Lin, and after glancing at it, Li Qi Tian frowned: "I have long heard that Xiao Qi Lin has a special physique, according to my observation, I am afraid that the potential in your body has already accumulated to the level of the Shengmen realm, but the realm is still in the martial arts...... Still haven't found the reason?"
Ji Lin shook his head, and it seemed that Li Qitian had no clue. Li Qitian is already the highest cultivation among the people he has seen so far, and when he came, he still had illusions, hoping that Li Qitian could give him some advice, and now it seems that he may really miss the martial arts.
Li Qitian noticed the loss in Ji Lin's eyes, he turned his head and instructed Li Muchen on the side: "Mu Chen, go and bring the box of pills you got last month." ”
"No need Uncle Li, I took a lot of medicine when I was a child, but it didn't work, thank you for your kindness. He waved his hand.
"My elixir is not ordinary," Li Qitian's expression was a little solemn, "Last month, a divine tomb was excavated outside the city, and the five surrounding countries have all received the news, and there are no less than two hundred powerhouses above the Reshaping Realm, and even two old guys from the Heaven Breaking Realm have come, it is estimated that the limit is coming and they want to break through as soon as possible." Li Qitian poured out the remaining little tea and began to brew the second time, "At our level, every step is difficult, and no opportunity can be missed." ”
He nodded in understanding.
Li Muchen came out with a small box, and Li Qitian took it: "Uncle Li's strength is not good, he didn't grab anything good, this elixir was found in a corner of the god's tomb, and I'm not sure what it does." Li Qitian opened the lid, only to see a thumb-sized pill suspended in the box dripping and turning, in an instant the room was full of light, a refreshing aroma spread, Yan Lin only took a sip, and the momentum in his body surged.
"Uncle Li, such a valuable thing......" Yi Lin stood up, he didn't understand the elixir, and he didn't know if the elixir had any effect on him, but just by looking at its condition, he knew that it was precious, although Li Qitian said it lightly, but Ji Lin knew that the process of fighting for it must be extremely difficult.
Li Qitian was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect such a small child to know how to refuse in the face of such a temptation, he leaned back and said, "Xiao Linglin can rest assured to accept it, I still have a big box there." ”
Ji Lin didn't know what to say, and at this time, Wang Shentong snatched the medicine over: "Uncle Li told you to accept it, what is your family's politeness." ”
Li Qitian was amused by Wang Shentong's behavior, and after laughing, he said to the two seriously: "I don't care what you do, but don't show it easily, I'm afraid it will lead to death." ”
After the four of them had dinner, Wang Shentong and Ji Lin left.
Li Muchen cleaned up the table and said, "Dad is still very generous to them." He was referring to the matter of the elixir, Li Qitian brought back not many things from this trip to the Divine Tomb, and the elixir was only that one, although he didn't know what the effect was, but he didn't expect it to be given to Yilin so easily, he knew that his father had a good relationship with Wang Shenji, but to various extents, he had no bottom in his heart, and the two of them exchanged more letters over the years, and they were rarely seen.
Li Qitian looked at the night outside: "Your father and I owe too much to the Wang Shen family, so we can only try our best to repay it." ”
In the inn, the two of them were in a daze at the pill.
"Uncle Li won't tell us how to use it," Wang Shentong picked up the box, "Swallow it?" ”
Ji Lin snatched it over: "Didn't Uncle Li say that he didn't know what it did!"
"Ouch, now that you know that you have robbed it, why don't you excuse yourself like just now?" Wang Shen soured him.
He was noncommittal, and he carefully placed the pill in his inner pocket.
Since getting this elixir, the jade pendant that he has worn since he was a child on his chest is vaguely strange, and he didn't even tell Wang Shentong about this. At first, he wasn't sure, but when he touched it on the way home, he found that his jade was actually pulsating, and the frequency was close to a person's heartbeat.
Ji Lin guessed that this piece of jade had a lot to do with his life experience.
In the past ten years of living in Wang Shen's family, his father-in-law and mother have been very good to him, and Wang Shentong also regards himself as his own brother, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Shen's family is his second home. But Jiolin always felt that there was a piece of emptiness in his heart, who he was in the years before he came to Wang Shentong's house, where he lived, and what his parents did, Jiolin didn't know anything. Over the years, Ji Lin has never mentioned exploring his life experience, but he has not been fantasizing for a moment in his heart, which is also the reason why he has worked hard to cultivate and become stronger.
He wanted to become the top martial artist in the Void Continent, so that his parents could see him and come to recognize him.
After doing his daily training, he felt unexpectedly tired, he lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.
He had a dream in which the sky was hovering with strange birds that covered the sky, the earth was burning with pale flames, soldiers with guns were burned to ashes everywhere, and the heart-rending cries of women were mixed with the cries of children. Then the picture begins to fall apart, and the dream becomes a mess of fragments. He tried to grab one of them, but he reached out and saw only a pale flame.
He struggled to wake up, sweating profusely.
