After coming out of the smelting hall, Lin Liang seemed a little preoccupied, and his mind was still recalling the conversation with Huo Xing not long ago.

"Tempering the spiritual veins?"

Lin Liang asked with some uncertainty, although Lin Liang clearly remembered that this was the method that Huo Xing said before leaving the Life and Destruction Sect to be able to fight with He Yun, but to be honest, in the past two years, Lin Liang felt that he already had the strength of He Yun's battle, but Huo Xing's meaning made Lin Liang hesitate.

As if seeing the hesitation on Lin Liang's face, Huo Xing said casually: "What's the matter? Are you unwilling or don't believe your uncle and me? You are also a third-order smelter now, so you should also know something about tempering spiritual veins, right?"

"This ...... I have indeed heard of it. ”

Lin Liang hesitated for a moment and said, "Just as you said to me at the beginning, tempering the spirit vein can increase the spirit vein in the smelter's body by one to three stars on the original basis, and the enhancement of the spirit vein caused by tempering the spirit vein is permanent. ”

"Since you know that refining your spiritual veins can further enhance your strength, then why hesitate?" Huo Xing asked with a smile.

"However, for any martial artist, this tempering spirit vein can only be used once in a lifetime!" Lin Liang frowned and said, "And I ...... now"

"And you only have four spiritual veins condensed now, once you use the tempering spiritual veins now, then only the four spiritual veins that have been condensed will be enhanced, and it has nothing to do with the spiritual veins that will be condensed in the future, so you don't think it's cost-effective, or you feel that it's a loss. ”

Huo Xing took Lin Liang's unspoken words, and said with a sneer: "Actually, it's normal for you to think like this, who doesn't want to be perfect in everything?" But Lin Liang, do you have a choice now?"

Huo Xing's words were like a hammer striking on Lin Liang's heart, yes, does Lin Liang still have a choice now? Nine days later, it will be a life-and-death battle with He Yun, but Lin Liang has a reason why he can't lose, he has not yet avenged the innocent dead townspeople in Shigui Town, and he has not yet found his own life experience, met his parents, and has never seen the scenery that can only be seen when standing at the top of the martial arts.

All of this is telling Lin Liang that he must not lose, but in this world where the strength of the weak eats the strong, winning or losing is not something that can be changed by talking about it and thinking about it in his heart, the only thing Lin Liang can rely on is his own strength, sometimes he needs to take a long-term view, but what is in front of him is the most important.

Thinking of this, Lin Liang took a deep breath, and he had already made a decision in his heart, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Huo Xing again.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry to speak, anyway, this time I called you to just tell you some information about He Yun, although there is not much information, but there is no way, He Yun spent one of the two years you are not in the Rift Heart Valley, it is very strange, even the elders are reluctant to set foot in it, and the rest of the time he lives in seclusion, so that's all he knows. ”

Huo Xing said seriously: "As for the matter of tempering the spiritual vein, you don't have to make a decision now, after all, the future and the present are sometimes really difficult to choose, and the present I can help you is all here, anyway, according to my estimate of your current situation, it will take about seven days to temper the spiritual vein, so you still have time to think about it." ”

Saying that, Huo Xing threw a Qiankun bag to Lin Liang and said: "Here are some things that you can use when refining your spiritual vein, and it also includes specific tempering methods, to be honest, in my opinion, with your current state, you can't beat He Yun at all, you better think about it yourself!"

After Huo Xing finished speaking, he waved his hand at Lin Liang, seeing this, Lin Liang also knew that Huo Xing was letting himself leave, so he put the Qiankun bag thrown by Huo Xing into his arms, and bowed to Huo Xing before leaving.

In fact, Lin Liang had already made a decision, but what Huo Xing said at the end made Lin Liang hesitate a little, so he seemed a little worried.

However, what Lin Liang didn't know was that after Lin Liang left the Smelting Hall, in the rain pavilion in the backyard of the Peak Destroying Force Battle Hall, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared opposite He Yun, looking at He Yun seriously.

"I didn't expect Elder Huo to come to me today, I don't know what advice you have?"

As if he knew who was coming, He Yun's eyes were always in the teacup on the stone table.

"I don't dare to give advice. Huo Xing sneered: "The old man came here today mainly to tell you that everything in the Life and Destruction Sect is deserved by the Life and Destruction Sect, even if it is your identity, it is impossible to do whatever you want here!"

After saying that, Huo Xing didn't care if He Yun heard it clearly or not, and a breathing figure disappeared in front of him.

"He really seems to know something, does he?"

A voice suddenly came from the air opposite He Yun, but He Yun shook his head, his eyes were still immersed in the teacup, and said casually: "It's okay, he won't know, not to mention that what he said is right, I should indeed leave this Life and Destruction Sect, this place, this sect, should not exist for a long time." ”

Although Lin Liang had already become an inner disciple before leaving the Life and Destruction Sect, something like that happened at that time, so although two years have passed, Lin Liang's residence has still not changed, and it is still the same small courtyard.

Stretching out his hand to push open the door of the small courtyard, Lin Liang took a deep breath, the familiar smell reminded Lin Liang of everything that had happened here, although in the eyes of outsiders, there was no so-called familiar taste here at all.

Just as Lin Liang walked into the small courtyard, a somewhat uncertain voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Old ...... Big?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Liang already had a name popping up in his heart—Xu Shan. In fact, Lin Liang didn't feel anything when he left the Life and Destruction Sect, after all, he had long been used to being alone for so many years, but later he got the news of Xu Shan in Shangyang City, which moved Lin Liang.

So the moment he heard the voice, Lin Liang turned his head, wanting to see what his brother who had not seen him for the past two years had become in the past two years. However, the moment Lin Liang turned his head and saw Xu Shan, Lin Liang was stunned.

Xu Shan's cultivation has reached the tenth layer of the Spirit Quenching Realm, but Lin Liang is not surprised by this, after all, when he saw Lu Cha in Shangyang City a year ago, Lin Liang knew that Xu Shan's cultivation was close to the seventh layer of the Spirit Quenching Realm, and Lu Cha also said that Xu Shan's talent is indeed not too outstanding, so there is a foundation of the seventh layer of the Spirit Quenching Realm, and the tenth layer of the Spirit Quenching Realm is normal now.

But what really stunned Lin Liang was Xu Shan's appearance. When Lin Liang and Xu Shan first met, Xu Shan was only fifteen years old, but his body shape was already a little chubby, according to Xu Shan's own words, his body type is a feature of the family, and he is blessed with a lot of meat!

I still remember that when Xu Shan said this to Lin Liang at that time, Lin Liang also joked that he would throw Xu Shan into the Tianqi Mountain Range to see how blessed this meat was. And now, if it weren't for that still familiar face and still familiar voice, I'm afraid Lin Liang would really not recognize Xu Shan at first sight.

Xu Shan in front of him, uh, the flesh on his face already feels like it has been retracted, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and it can't be compared with before, as for growing taller, Lin Liang actually doesn't feel anything, because he himself has been growing taller in the past two years, and in addition to the excitement of seeing Lin Liang in Xu Shan's eyes, there is also a deep tiredness buried under his eyes.

"Boss?"

"Boss!"

"Huh?" Lin Liang came back to his senses suddenly, but saw that Xu Shan had already pulled himself to sit down in the small courtyard, with an excited look on his face.

"Boss, you really came back, I didn't believe it when I heard the three bells, I thought it was He Yun's grandson who made a fuss, but later a junior brother I knew came over to me and said that you were back. ”

Xu Shan took out two jars of wine from the Qiankun bag and put them on the table, one jar for me and one jar for himself, the two of them lifted the mud together, and drank a big sip, Xu Shan pointed to the two jars of wine on the table and said: "Boss, since you left, I don't know what's going on, I suddenly like to drink, these two jars are the spirit wine I bought for a long time nearby, and it cost two thousand spirit crystals!"

"Boss, you don't know, the tasks in this sect, in the past two years, are suitable for outer disciples and inner disciples, more than half of them are taken by me, otherwise if I don't do this, how can I have the current cultivation, where are there so many spirit crystals to buy wine!"

Saying that, Xu Shan didn't care about Lin Liang's reaction, and directly raised his head and poured a jar of wine.

"Drink slowly, don't worry!"

Lin Liang frowned and said, but he didn't step forward to stop it, because Lin Liang knew that this was Xu Shan venting, and Lu Cha had also mentioned it to him before, because of his own relationship, Xu Shan basically had no friends in the sect, and even if he completed the task, he was alone, and he must have something in his heart to tell himself.

"It's okay, I drink a lot, and the amount of alcohol is good!"

Xu Shan waved his hand at Lin Liang and said, "But now it's okay, boss, you're back, our brothers will kill He Yun's bastard together, it's too bullying!

Belch!

Before Xu Shan's words were finished, his complexion suddenly changed, he turned his head and vomited, and finally finished vomiting, and turned around and was about to continue talking, but his head was tilted, and he fell asleep directly on the table.

"Alas!"

Lin Liang sighed helplessly, after drinking wine for so many years, although Xu Shan said that he often drank alcohol and drank a good amount of alcohol, but Lin Liang could see at a glance that Xu Shan had never drunk much at all, otherwise he would not have been drunk directly unconscious with this little wine.

Lin Liang knew that Xu Shan did this to tell Lin Liang something he had hidden in his heart, but Xu Shan overestimated his alcohol consumption a little, and he got drunk directly before he finished speaking.

This made Lin Liang cry and laugh and make a decision in his heart.
