"Don't be so polite, let's all get up and talk."

Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan both nodded, and Luo Hongyi said: "This coincidence is indeed a little more." But to attract the starry sky beasts, they may not have that ability. ”

"Maybe they're going to do something else, like the star thief?" Gu Nuannuan guessed.

"Yes."

Ran Tianlei and his son got up together, nodded respectfully in agreement with the words of the two, and continued: "So I'm just skeptical, and I'm not too sure." But one thing I know for sure is that if I don't choose to vassalize you, then it may be a matter of time before our family is calculated. ”

"They are much stronger than your Ran family?" Although Luo Hongyi used a question, his tone was very affirmative.

"Yes." Sure enough, Ran Tianlei nodded again, "When our Ran family was at its strongest, we could only barely squeeze into the ranks of first-class families in the empire, and now we ......"

He smiled bitterly with helplessness on his face: "Now, although our Ran family's Fenglan fleet is still there, it is too far from before in terms of scale and influence, and now our Ran family is just a third-rate family in the empire." However, the Liu family's Thunder Fleet has become more and more prosperous, and now it has become one of the first-class families in the empire.

If our family suffers another blow if you don't come in time this time, then they will ask us to become their vassal family again, and we may not be able to refuse. ”

"Father, the Liu family actually made such an rude request to our family? When is it? Before Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan could react, Ran Zhanpeng, who had been listening quietly to everyone, exclaimed.

"Didn't you see me talking to two adults?" Ran Tianlei glared at Ran Zhanpeng with blame, and then said apologetically to Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan, "Don't blame the two adults, after all, my second son is a little younger and has just come of age, and his temperament has not been polished yet, so he is still a little impatient." ”

That is to say, in the interstellar era, the life expectancy of people is long, and the middle-aged man who is already forty years old, is already old and young, and needs to support the whole family in the sea blue star is said to be "young".

Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan both looked at Ran Zhanpeng when they heard this, and couldn't help but smile secretly.

Ran Zhanpeng was seen by the two of them, and suddenly felt that he was too reckless, and couldn't help but lower his head with a flushed face and didn't dare to speak again. Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan shook their heads with a smile: "It's okay." Seeing that the two of them did not show the slightest sign of anger, the father and son of the Ran family breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Hongyi: "We are also curious, even if your Ran family is now defeated, but after all, you are still a third-rate family in your empire, why does this Liu family dare to make you their vassal family?" ”

"Lord Hui, this Liu family is used to being arrogant, and it has always expanded by such means. As long as any family has something that they can look at, they will try their best to make the other party their vassal family. Even the means used are not much different, they are all blunt at the beginning, the other party can agree best, and if you can't agree, you can think of a way to let the other party agree. ”

Ran Tianlei's face was gloomy, and after glancing at Ran Zhanpeng, he couldn't help but feel proud, and said to Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan with a bit of complexity on his face: "My second son is only forty years old, and he has already cultivated his physical skills and spiritual power to the eighteenth level, which is not only outstanding in our empire, but even in an empire with two levels of civilization."

So on the surface, the Liu family is interested in my second son, but in fact, I have investigated it privately. The Liu family was also aware of my investigation, and they were not afraid to let me know that they were actually interested in the cultivation method that our ancestors had handed down. ”

"It's no wonder."

Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan nodded, as soon as they saw the father and son, both of them found that the aura fluctuations on Ran Zhanpeng's body, and they could clearly see that his cultivation should be around the fourth order of qi refining.

In the secular world, it's not bad to be able to cultivate to this point in a place where there is nothing. Either he has a good spiritual root, or he is diligent, either of these two is enough for the two of them to have a good impression of him. So immediately, Luo Hongyi beckoned to Ran Zhanpeng, asked him to come over, and then handed over a spirit measuring stone.

"Hold it, let your mind be empty." Luo Hongyi said succinctly.

"Yes." Ran Zhanpeng didn't know what the stone Luo Hongyi took out was, he was puzzled in his heart but didn't dare to ask more, and did it obediently without the slightest disobedience.

A moment later, as Ran Zhanpeng held the spirit measuring stone, four beams of red, yellow, gold, and black of different lengths and thicknesses rose one after another. The dazzling light stunned Ran Tianlei and Ran Zhanpeng for a while.

The two of them were confused, and they didn't know what those represented. finally hesitated and looked at Luo Hongyi and Gu Nuannuan, but before the two of them could ask, they heard Luo Hongyi ask Ran Zhanpeng lightly: "At what age did you start cultivating?" How long does it take to practice every day? How old are you now? ”

"Back to my lordship, I'm a few months away from turning forty. It was my uncle who taught me the exercises when I was six years old. Before I was 20 years old, I would devote at least five to eight hours a day to cultivation. After the age of 20, because I had to live in school, I had to do more homework, and I often had to take practical classes, so the time for cultivation was greatly shortened. But unless I was taking a practice class outside or going out in a group with someone, and I even slept at night, many people were crowded together, and I had to give up the day's cultivation, and the rest of the time, I would try to ensure that I had at least three hours or so of time to practice every day. There has been no interruption over the years. ”

Ran Zhanpeng put aside the heart-scratching curiosity in his heart, and immediately replied respectfully without delay. After answering, he cautiously added: "My lord, I have found that as long as I can cultivate for two hours a day, even if I don't sleep for a few days in a row, I will not feel sleepy, and my energy is more abundant than after sleeping. ”

"It's normal. Cultivation itself can be a substitute for sleeping. The difference between a cultivator and an ordinary person is that if you can get used to it, it will be a few years, decades, hundreds, or thousands of years...... Even for a longer period of time, you don't have to sleep, and it's not impossible to rely on cultivation to maintain your energy. ”

"Hundreds, millennia, or even more? How is this possible? ”

The father and son of the Ran family were both surprised, and the amount of information in Luo Hongyi's words was a bit large. They all subconsciously felt that something was wrong with their ears, until they both saw the shock in each other's eyes, and then their hearts raced faster and they opened their mouths and asked dizzily: "Can a cultivator live for so long?" ”
