Holding the maple leaf in his hand, Su Ming once again came to Li Ji's bookstore, and when Su Ming stepped into the bookstore, the old man had been waiting here for a long time.

The lazy old man sat up straight, looked at Su Ming with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said softly, "Thank you for coming." ”

The old man's thanks made Su Ming fall silent.

"Xiaoyou, I know you are very confused, I can tell you the cause and effect of this matter first, and I will not force the choice later. The old man was sitting precariously looking at Su Ming, his expression was extremely sincere.

Su Ming nodded, brought a stool and sat down, he also wanted to hear what the old man wanted to say to him.

"The old man's surname is Li, a single name is an honorific character, few people know that I used to be a disciple of the Great Snow Palace, and the current Great Snow Palace master is the same generation, but my master is an unknown ancestor of the Great Snow Palace, so I have never practiced in the Great Snow Palace, I have always been in Nanxi City, everyone only knows that I am a member of the Li family in Nanxi City, and with the continuous improvement of my cultivation, I gradually appeared in the eyes of the monks on the top of the mountain in Qingyu China, I felt that I was talented, and I did not look at anyone of my generation in the eyes, and I walked with a sword, and offended many people during my travels, but because the sword in my hand was strong enough, they had no way to take me, In the year I was established, I had already stood at the height of the eight-story building, and this kind of cultivation also made the sword cultivators of the Great Snow Palace notice me, they wanted me to join the Great Snow Palace, I told my master, the master did not agree, he told me that the only condition for me to enter the Great Snow Palace was to defeat the young palace master of the Great Snow Palace at that time. ”

Su Ming listened quietly, without interrupting the old man's words, he also saw the family history of the Li family in Nanxi City in a book he bought in the bookstore, and naturally he had also heard about the battle between the head of the Li family in Nanxi City and the current palace master of the Great Snow Palace, and the battle between the two Tianjiao Sword Cultivators was enough to be recorded in the history of Qingyu Kingdom.

However, the result was that the old man of the Li family in front of him lost, not only lost, but also lost very completely, and even his own avenue foundation was broken.

The old man's eyes were in a trance, and the pictures flashed in his mind, it was the best time he had ever had.

"Only the two ancestors of the Great Snow Palace know that the battle between me and Lu Yun also represents the future direction of the Great Snow Palace, whoever wins is the next generation of palace masters of the Great Snow Palace, so I and Lu Yun did our best in that battle, but I lost, and I also injured the foundation of the Great Dao, after that, my master gave up on me, I was unwilling, and spent half my life repairing the foundation of the Great Dao, but unfortunately I exhausted half my life, after all, I could never return to the talent of the year, and it took a full twenty years to climb a heavy building, and after that, I did not advance an inch. ”

"After that, I stayed in the Li family and cultivated the next generation with my heart, but unfortunately, among the generations of my Li family, all the children who were able to embark on the path of qi practitioner fell on the road of cultivation, and in the end, my Li family no longer had any seedlings of qi training, and all my wishes were disappointed..."

Su Ming looked at the old man's gaze and said softly, "Those seedlings who want to come to the Li family shouldn't be an accident, right?"

The old man smiled self-deprecatingly, and said in a low voice: "Naturally, it is not an accident, the palace master of the Great Snow Palace in the Qingyu country is one of the tallest monks on the top of the mountain, he is one of the masters who control the territory of thousands of miles in a radius, a sword immortal of the Earth Immortal Realm with extremely lethal power, he doesn't want anyone from my Li family to embark on the road of qi training, how can the children of my Li family go on steadily." ”

Su Ming did not comment, this is the contradiction between the Great Snow Palace and the old man of the Li family, he has not experienced it, so it is inconvenient to make an evaluation.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"I don't want that thing to be taken away by the Snow Palace. ”

The old man's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened, he gritted his teeth, and said in a cold voice: " I'm going to die, more than 100 years of longevity has come to the end, when I traveled to Qingzhou in order to repair the injury of the avenue, I got a newly born earth dragon spirit, I brought it back to the Li family, suppressed under the Li Ji Book House, a hundred years have passed, the earth dragon spirit under the Li Ji Book House has been conceived, and now it can be harvested, the people of the Great Snow Palace actually came to the door to take it away, I am unwilling, the earth dragon spirit and the ley lines of Nanxi City are connected together, if they dare to forcibly take away the earth dragon spirit, the fish die under the net, Nanxi City will inevitably shake the ley lines, the mountains and rivers are broken, they can't bear this cause and effect, so they don't dare, but I am dying, If I die and no one controls this earth dragon spirit, those madmen in the Great Snow Palace will inevitably forcibly take away the earth dragon spirit, so I want to choose a master for this earth dragon spirit. ”

Su Ming stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and said, "Why me, you should also be able to see it, I am just a second-realm martial artist, I don't think I have such strength to be able to face such an immortal sect as the Great Snow Palace." ”

The old man looked at the moonlight outside the house, and chuckled: "I am imprisoned in this study house, my state of mind is much calmer than back then, I have seen many monks and martial artists over the years, but none of them have anything to do with me, but when I see you today, I know that you are related to me..."

Su Ming stood up, took out the red maple leaf in his arms, and said lightly: "Senior, if you are still unwilling to tell the truth, I will not end up." ”

The old man took a deep look at Su Ming, weighed it again and again, as if he had made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaoyou, I hope you don't let me down." ”

"Ran'er, come out. ”

The old man's voice fell, Su Ming's eyes suddenly froze, and he looked at the little head sticking out of the study room with a shocked expression.

A little boy of six or seven years old walked out timidly, and hurriedly hid behind the old man, staring at Su Ming with curious eyes.

Those pure eyes were full of curiosity.

Above the sea of Su Mingqi, the immortal crane couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a creation that conquers the heavens and the earth..."

For the earth dragon spirit Su Ming once heard Liu Chen say in the dreadnought city, it is a spiritual root bred by the essence of the underground dragon vein, the conditions for the formation of the earth dragon spirit are not simple, such a spiritual root is actually produced by the failure of the underground dragon vein to breed the earth spirit, the earth spirit is the soul of the dragon vein, this is the process that each dragon vein has to go through, the underground dragon vein produces the earth spirit is not successful every time, and the failure will turn into a spiritual root like the earth dragon spirit, such a spiritual root can only be taken within seven days of the failure of the underground dragon vein to conceive the earth spirit, otherwise it will be re-replenished into the underground dragon vein, because of this reason, the earth dragon spirit is very rare。

The Earth Dragon Spirit that has been taken away can be re-cultivated, rising one step every hundred years, the spiritual liquid of the thousand-year-old Earth Dragon Spirit can make any Qi practitioner under the Earth Immortal improve his cultivation, and the two-thousand-year-old Earth Dragon Spirit Spiritual Liquid can even help the Earth Immortal True Person improve his cultivation, so some top immortal sects will cultivate some Earth Dragon Spirits.

Among these earth dragon spirits, if there is a creation that seizes heaven and earth, such a spirit root can be transformed into a human form, and such a spirit child thinks of the heaven and earth Dao fruit in the eyes of some great monks, and after swallowing it, it is even expected to become a step into enlightenment.

The old man looked at Su Ming's shocked gaze, touched the little boy's head, and said softly: " I don't know why Ran'er turned into a human form, when I first saw Ran'er, he was just a baby, I originally thought this was an opportunity given to me by God, but I couldn't do it, this child was like the child I liked the most back then, I just wanted to take him with me, but now that I'm old, I'm going to die, if Ran'er's identity is passed out, the immortal qi practitioners of the entire Qingyu Country will go crazy, and even the eyes of the Qingzhou Holy Land will fall, no one can resist such a temptation. ”

Su Ming suppressed the shock in his heart and asked very seriously: "Senior, why do you believe me?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that I believe in you, but Ran'er chose you." ”

The little boy hid behind the old man, looked at Su Ming and said crisply, "Brother, I can see the lightsaber in your stomach, it is very comfortable." ”

Su Ming sighed secretly, worthy of the earth dragon spirit that seized the creation and transformation of heaven and earth, and could see the Great Light Sword in the sea of qi, obviously the little guy felt the breath of the Great Light Sword, although I don't know why the little guy felt that the Great Light Sword gave him a very comfortable feeling, but this already made the little guy feel at ease.

The old man looked at Su Ming and pleaded: "Xiaoyou, my time is running out, I have waited for so many years, I can't stand it anymore, I can't watch Ran'er become someone else's Dao Fruit to ascend to the sky, I want him to grow up healthy and healthy." ”

The Immortal Crane said in Su Ming's body: "You have to think clearly, this is the Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit..."

Su Ming squatted down, looked at the little guy in the blue shirt, and said with a smile: "Little guy, what's your name?"

The little boy said softly: "Brother, my name is Li Ran, Mu Zi Li, naturally. ”

Su Ming smiled happily, stretched out his right hand and took down a gray sword light that had been sticking to his shoulder, which was left on him by Liu Chen that day, which could be regarded as his life-saving object.

stepped forward and lightly touched the little guy's eyebrows, and the gray sword light instantly disappeared into it.

The next moment, the unique aura belonging to the Earth Dragon Spirit on Li Ran's body disappeared cleanly, and he was just like an ordinary little boy.

The little guy touched his eyebrows curiously, he had just felt something enter his body, but he couldn't touch it.

The old man looked at Su Ming excitedly, he didn't expect Su Ming to have such a means, that ray of sword light was just in front of his eyes, he felt palpitations, he couldn't imagine what a powerful person possessed the sword qi.

"As long as there is this sword light, as long as the cultivation does not exceed the Heavenly Monarch, it should not be able to see through the identity of the little guy. Su Ming nodded with satisfaction and said.

Listening to Su Ming's words, the shock on the old man's face couldn't be concealed at all, the old man's skin was piled together, he was also a monk who had traveled in Qingzhou for decades, and the cultivation of the nine-story building was not high but not low, so he naturally understood the meaning of the word Tianjun.

"Thank you, thank you, little friend," the old man said again and again with a trembling voice.

Su Ming waved his hand, stood up, put down the bookcase behind him, looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Senior, unlock the seal." ”

"Are you sure?"

Su Ming looked at a few places outside the study house and said softly, "Even if you don't break the seal, will they let me take Li Ran away?"

The old man's mind also swept outside the house, and his face was gloomy and said, "I'm really in a hurry." ”

"I think, the Snow Palace shouldn't be ready to wait tonight, senior, let's start the battle!"
