Chapter 64: The Pursuit of Life
Regarding the topic of why Xiao Xun'er didn't go to play with children of the same age, it was forcibly ended because of Xiao Zhan's own sake.
He stood beside Xiao Xun'er, accompanied her to watch the children play from a distance, even if it was quite far away, he could still hear the laughter and slapstick of many children, including Xiao Yan's kid.
This made Xiao Zhan speechless for a while, feeling that Xiao Yan really regarded himself as a child, and he could have such a happy time.
"Is Uncle Xiao Zhan busy?"
It seemed that she felt that her previous attitude towards Uncle Xiao Zhan was a little raw and indifferent, Xiao Xun'er took the initiative to find a topic and asked.
Xiao Zhan turned his head sideways, glanced at Xiao Xun'er beside him, and asked, "Why do you say that?" β
"Because Uncle Xiao Zhan has never been in the Xiao family, he comes back occasionally, and he looks in a hurry, looking extremely busy." Xiao Xun'er explained softly, but in her heart, she couldn't help but think of her father.
She didn't spend much time with her father Gu Yuan, but even within the Gu clan, he didn't have much time to spend with her, and as the patriarch, he always seemed to have something to do.
Xiao Zhan pondered for a while and said, "It's not actually a question of whether you're busy or not. β
"What's that?" Xiao Xun'er didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Xiao Zhan said: "It should be said that it is the pursuit of life, people live for a lifetime, and they must always have a little pursuit." β
"Life's pursuit?"
"Yes, what you see belongs to my busyness, for me, there is actually no feeling of busyness or not, on the contrary, it is just that I am practicing my personal pursuit and striving for a certain goal."
Xiao Zhan's words were a little inexplicable, and even sounded a bit like chicken soup for the soul, but in fact, it was what he thought in his heart.
Crossing into this world has become an established fact, if he doesn't do anything, with his already predestined fate, there may be some twists and turns during the period, but the ending is probably good.
But it may be willful, or it may be unwilling, but he doesn't want his fate to be doomed, if all fates are already doomed, then what's the point of his life?
Crossing over here, is it to be a supporting role and fulfill the so-called protagonist?
Xiao Zhan's thoughts, in the words of the second point, are that my life is up to me.
Especially when you travel to the fantasy world, and you have an external plug-in, you still want to step on the peak and have a glimpse of the scenery at the top.
With his current strength, in this Gama Empire, he can barely get a glimpse of the peak scenery, but if it is placed in the Douqi Continent, it is not enough.
Since Gu Yuan first came to the Xiao family, more than a year has passed, and in more than a year, he has broken through from the peak of Dou Ling to the Dou Huang, this speed is not slow when you look at the Dou Qi Continent, but unfortunately, there are only a little more than two years left before the covenant of the Heavenly Tomb, and counting the time to hurry, it is only two years to be full...... Thinking that in two years, he would have to meet with those Tianjiao Junyan of the imperial clan, Xiao Zhan's strength of the Douhuang is really a little insufficient, with the background of those ancient families, the people who can choose to go to the Heavenly Tomb to participate in the trial are at least Douzun to start.
Or did Xiao Zhan simply wait for another twenty-two years, wait until the Heavenly Tomb was opened later, and then enter the Heavenly Tomb? Relying on these more than 20 years, he has also improved his strength to Douzun, or even stronger?
Relying on plug-ins, there is actually hope.
But if Xiao Zhan gave up, he was still a little unwilling after all.
The thought flickered, Xiao Zhan shook his head again, what are you doing with this, let's take one step at a time.
In two years, relying on the auxiliary cultivation system alone, at most it can only improve the strength of a few stars, the orthodox way of improving strength is useless, Xiao Zhan wants to continue to improve his strength, he can only take Qi Zheng Xianghe, before going to the Mitre Auction House to make a transaction, let the Mitre family help collect the drugs for cultivating Douqi, in addition to improving the overall strength of the Xiao family, these drugs, he can also use them himself, it may not be of much effect to him who is already a fighting emperor, but with the blessing of the plug-in, it is better than nothing, It would be even better if there were sixth-order demonic beasts and high-level elixirs.
After all, absorbing the energy between heaven and earth, except for some places where the energy is particularly abundant, generally takes a long time, and it is more efficient to directly absorb the energy crystallization demon core.
It's a pity, even if it's a Mitre auction house, I'm afraid it won't be able to get a sixth-order demon core, which is equivalent to a human Douhuang powerhouse, looking at the entire Gama Empire, there are only a few Douhuang powerhouses, and even the great elder of the Mitre family, except for Hai Bodong, who lives in seclusion in Mocheng, is the strongest, and it is only the strength of the Douwang.
After talking to Xiao Xun'er for a while, Xiao Zhan couldn't stay with her all the time, and then left again, and after Xiao Zhan left, Xiao Xun'er also left here.
Uncle Xiao Zhan's words, although a little inexplicable, she still understood part of it after all.
Uncle Xiao Zhan is so busy for his life goals.
Then she should also have her own goals in life.
The atmosphere of the Gu clan and the Xiao family is so different, which also makes the Gu clan and the Xiao family two different worlds, but different worlds may not be the same.
Her father, as the strongest of the ancient clan, can't change all this, so it's up to her to surpass her father and then change the ancient clan.
Although Xiao Xun'er is much more precocious than children of the same age, she is only a little girl after all, so it is inevitable that there will be some naΓ―ve fantasies that belong to children, just like many children who shouted when they were young to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but in the end they only went to Peking University Jade Bird, the goal of life is the goal of life, and whether it can be achieved is another matter.
It is unknown whether Xiao Xun'er will be able to achieve her goal in the future, but now, since she has made up her mind, she has also set her first small goal, which is to refine the fire in her body first, so that it will no longer be a burden to her.
β¦β¦
The Mitre family's side moves quickly, after all, so many demon cores are a big business.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan quickly found a lot of medicines to improve his cultivation efficiency, and he also had many medicinal materials that Xiao Zhan needed to use for medicinal baths. Among the many medicines, the most valuable are the three Three-Pattern Qingling Pills and the two Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills.
The three-pattern green spirit pill can make the fighter break through the boundary of advancing to the big fighter, if it is the highest grade, it can even make the big fighter improve the strength of three stars in a period of time, although there is a risk of backlash, but the effect is extraordinary, unfortunately, the Mitre auction behavior Xiao Zhan is looking for only the most ordinary three-pattern green spirit pill, if you are lucky, these three three-pattern green spirit pills can add two or three more big fighters to the Xiao family.
As for the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, it is the same as the Three-Pattern Green Spirit Pill, it is a four-grade peak pill, which is also the kind of pill that can directly make people improve their strength, but its effect can only act on the Great Dou Master level, at this level, if a person takes the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, then he can improve the strength of one star, the most important thing is that a person, at the same level, can take two of these pills in succession without too much resistance.
It's a pity that the Mitre family can only find a fourth-grade pill at the top, which is still exchanged for those fourth-order demon cores, what Xiao Zhan wants more is actually the Huangji Pill that can have an effect on the Douhuang and similar pills, he needs to be quickly promoted to the peak of the Douhuang, after all, there are a few Breaking Zong Pills given to him by Gu Yuan in his hand, and after reaching the peak of the Douhuang, he can try to impact the Dou Zong.
Therefore, these few pills can only be cheaper for a few elders and the Xiao family, and in this transaction, what is really useful to him are those drugs that speed up the speed of condensing fighting qi.
Having said that, why didn't he know a high-level alchemist, if he could have a high-level alchemist friend like Yao Chen, it would be great, when the other party was sought revenge, and when he gave an order, he recruited three Dou Zong, eight Dou Huang, twelve Dou Wang, and eighteen Dou Ling to help him, he was definitely willing to help.
