Chapter 2: Prisoners
When Wang Lung slowly approached the black shadow, he realized that it was actually the back of a person, and suddenly the back image shook.
"Who are you?" Wang Lung hurriedly retreated, his hands arched in front of him, in a defensive position, the figure did not respond, Wang Lung saw this, he boldly took a light step towards the back, and when he got closer, he saw a middle-aged strong man, dressed in a black robe with a strange bird.
"Senior, how long have you been here, how can you get out here?" Wang Lung asked when he saw that the man didn't make any moves.
The middle-aged man did not respond, after a long time, I saw the middle-aged man's fingers move, although it was very slight, but Wang Lung clearly knew that it was not an illusion, so Wang Lung shouted again, but the man still did not respond, and even had no breath on his body, like a dead man.
"A little doll!" Just when Wang Lung was about to leave, a hoarse and old voice came, Wang Lung hurriedly turned around, the middle-aged strong man had long since disappeared, and a short old man with white hair and blue eyes in front of him was looking at Wang Lung with sharp eyes, the reason why he was short was because Wang Lung did not find anyone at the first time when he turned around just now, and it was not until the old man's voice came out again that Wang Lung found him.
"The juniors have seen the seniors", Wang Lung arched his hand and made a junior salute, the old man looked at Wang Lung, nodded, and said: "Not bad, yes, a good seedling!"
Wang Lung couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Fortunately, the seedlings, everyone outside says that I am a natural waste material!"
After such a long time, Wang Lung also knew that he had been sucked into the stone tablet, but then he said: "Thank you seniors for the compliment, I wonder if the seniors know how to get out of here?"
When the old man heard this, his eyes were red, his fists beat his chest, and he laughed as if he had been stimulated by something, and after laughing for a while, the old man muttered to himself, "Prison cage, prison cage!"
Wang Lung didn't know what the old man meant by the cage? He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Senior, are you okay?"
When the old man heard Wang Lung's voice, he stopped muttering. Raising his head and looking at Wang Lung a little strangely, Wang Lung was a little hairy by the old man, so he shouted again.
The old man seemed to hear Wang Lung's voice and responded: "Go out, why do you want to go out?
"Senior, don't laugh, there are still people outside who care about me who are in a hurry. Wang Lung hurriedly said, he is a person who aspires to be a strong man, how can he eat here and wait for death, not to mention that there are fathers, mothers and some people who care about themselves outside, if they disappear, how sad they will be.
The short old man glanced at Wang Lung's determined eyes, and then stopped persuading him to stay. After a moment of silence, as if thinking of something, the short old man rolled his eyes and said, "It's not impossible to tell you how to get out, but you need to promise me three conditions." ”
Wang Lung thought for a while, and then spoke: "As long as the seniors don't let the juniors do things against their will, then there is no problem. ”
The old man stared at Wang Long for a while, and then said, "You can rest assured, I will never make you embarrassed, so make a vow!" The Dao oath is an oath with your own martial arts heart, once you violate it, then the cultivation realm will never be improved, so ordinary people will never violate their martial arts oath.
Wang Lung thought about it carefully and felt that there was no problem, so he made a martial arts oath happily, and when he saw Wang Lung make a martial arts oath, the old man showed a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
"If you want to get out of here, the only way is to break through the Black Tower, as long as you can break through to the fifth floor, you can leave here, if you can break to the top floor, there will be a mysterious gift, but once you fail," the old man said this, paused before speaking: "Then there is only a dead end, I don't know if you dare to challenge, or stay with the old man, I haven't seen outsiders for so many years, don't die so soon."
"Don't laugh at the seniors, since there is a chance to go out, the juniors are willing to give it a try, even if they are broken, it is also the juniors' own choice", Wang Long's eyes were full of fighting intent, with his character of not admitting defeat, it was naturally impossible to retreat.
"But with your low cultivation, you will also be sent to death", the old man saw the fanaticism in Wang Lung's eyes, and unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water, "But the old man can train you, it will be regarded as a meeting gift, and you can barely try it after three years of practice."
Wang Lung didn't care about the old man's ridicule, he couldn't help but smile happily when he heard the old man's words to train him, because although he didn't know the old man's true cultivation, he couldn't see through the old man, either the old man was a mortal, or the old man was too strong, Wang Lung felt that it was the latter, but when he heard the old man's words, his face turned pale, he didn't have time to practice here for three years.
"You're not even a spirit disciple now, aren't you looking for death to challenge?" The old man seemed to see Wang Lung's unhappiness, so he said again: "If you want to break through the fifth layer of the Black Tower, at least you need the strength of the spirit master, you think about how long it takes ordinary people to go from a spirit disciple to a spirit master, decades is considered less, now I am willing to teach you, you are still not happy, I think how many people lined up to beg me to teach, I ignored it", speaking of this, the old man seemed to remember something from the past, and pondered for a while.
The Star Continent, the strong are respected, divided into five regions, east, west, north, south, and middle, and the Tianlong Dynasty is the overlord-level force in the northern region, and only the Xinghai Dynasty and the Sword Sect can be comparable to him, the Tianlong Dynasty has become a martial artist, and the martial arts realm is divided into spirit disciples, spirit masters, spirit masters, spirit kings, spirit kings, spirit saint kings, spirit emperors, spirit emperors, spirit saint emperors, it is said that the strongest person in the Tianlong Dynasty is the spirit emperor realm, as for the higher realm, it is not Wang Lung can know.
"Boy, are you worried about time?" The old man's eyes flashed with a gleam, "But you don't have to worry, the time flow rate of this space is different from the outside, from the time you came in to the present, the outside world has only been in the past to breathe in and breathe, and three years is only equivalent to three days in the outside world, so you don't need to be too anxious." ”
"Oh, really?" Wang Lung breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if he really stayed here for three years, when he went out, he didn't know how much the outside world would change? But he thought about it again, he had to leave for Qingshan City this afternoon, but he couldn't wait three days, so he asked again: "Senior, I don't know if you can do it in one day?"
"What, you kid is so greedy and insufficient", the old man was obviously disappointed in Wang Lung when he heard this.
"Senior, you misunderstood, the junior is just going to Qingshan City this afternoon, if they can't find me, it will be bad, it's not that you want to quickly improve your cultivation regardless of the foundation. Wang Lung knew that the old man had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.
"Hmmm... There is a way, but it is a dead end, and it is impossible to succeed!" The old man realized that he had misunderstood Wang Long, and said after a moment of silence.
"Seniors, juniors are not talented, they know that they have a chance, but they don't even try, that's not what the big husband did. The unwavering look in Wang Lung's eyes let people know that once he decided, it was impossible to change it.
"It seems that if you don't let this kid go, you will definitely annoy the old man and me," the old man smiled strangely and teased Wang Long, "The method is that you choose the highest difficulty and pass, then you only need to break through the third layer, and the corresponding strength requirements are much lower, but the difference between the highest difficulty and the lowest difficulty is not a star and a half." ”
"Juniors do their best!" Wang Lung replied without humility or arrogance, "I don't know when I can start?"
"Don't worry, you have to solve the problem in your body before cultivating," the old man said with a wave of his hand.
"Alas, can I still cultivate like this?" Wang Lung sighed when he thought of his innate true qi as a waste physique, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Do you know how a monk can cultivate to the realm of a spirit disciple?" the old man did not answer Wang Lung's question, but instead asked Wang Lung a question.
Even children know this problem in the Star Continent, and Wang Lung is naturally no exception, so he said: "A monk is born with innate true qi, and the innate true qi cannot be changed, as long as the innate true qi is condensed into a cyclone in the dantian, it means that this person has entered the threshold of the cultivation world, promoted to a spirit disciple, and officially become one of the many cultivators." After speaking, Wang Lung glanced at the old man with some doubts, he didn't understand the meaning of asking him such a simple question.
"You're right or not, it's not that innate true qi can't be improved. The old man nodded and said. "What?" Wang Lung's face was full of disbelief, and he opened his mouth as if he had seen a ghost.
It's no wonder that Wang Lung is so surprised, everyone in the Star Continent knows that the innate true qi cannot be changed, and the strength of the innate true qi determines the height that most martial artists can reach, so Wang Lung's innate true qi is one, which is a natural waste physique, because his innate true qi can't even do the first step of becoming a spirit disciple "Gathering Spirits", so he will suffer all the white eyes and ridicule in the family, but now the old man tells himself that the innate true qi can be changed, so isn't his depression and the grievances of being ridiculed all these years in vain? No, I have to thank those people, without their ridicule, I wouldn't have had such a strong will, then I should have died before.
"What, don't you believe it?" The old man smiled, not caring about Wang Lung's surprise, he looked at Wang Lung and said, "Why don't you sense your innate true qi yourself." ”
Wang Lung remembered the abnormal changes in his body before, but he didn't care about going out in a hurry, and now that the old man proposed it, he thought of quickly sensing the innate true qi in the dantian.
Wang Lung closed his eyes tightly, his heart moved, and a trace of spiritual power surged towards the dantian, Wang Lung was born in a big family, and he had his own method of using spiritual power.
"What!" Wang Lung showed a surprised look, under this induction, he found that his innate true qi had improved a lot, not to mention reaching ten, but at least it had reached eight, sensing that the vast innate true qi was flowing in the dantian, Wang Lung only felt that he was in a dream.
"Okay, boy, don't giggle, saliva is about to come out!" the old man smiled and pulled Wang Lung back from his shock.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, old man, I'll pass you a set of exercises", the old man pointed a finger on Wang Lung's forehead, Wang Lung only felt that his head sank, and there was an additional exercise called "Qi Refining Technique" in the sea of knowledge.
"Is this a Heavenly Rank Exercise?What's the use?" Wang Lung knew that the old man in front of him was a real powerhouse who was stronger than the ancestor of the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty. The exercises for yourself must not be simple, and he hurriedly asked.
"The heaven-level exercises are nothing in front of him, he is a god-level exercises", the old man smiled proudly, this is an exercise that he finally obtained.
Wang Lung could not hide the smile on his face when he heard the old man's words, and hurriedly checked the exercises in the sea of knowledge, and under this inspection, he found that something was wrong.
