Chapter Eighty-Eight: An Irresistible Temptation
Luo Ling only dictated the Tiangang Yanmu Jue Tianwu Chapter and the following exercises to Mei Lao, and after he advanced to the Tianwu Realm, he would pass on the Yuan Emperor Chapter.
The heart of defense is indispensable, and Luo Ling naturally will not unconditionally believe that Mei Lao will keep his promise.
After getting the exercises, Mei Lao couldn't wait to try to run it, and soon showed a satisfied smile.
Luo Ling didn't deceive him, the exercises passed on to him were genuine, obviously stronger than his original exercises, and once he broke through the bottleneck of realm comprehension, he would be able to successfully advance to the Heavenly Martial Realm.
The Tianwu Realm is already the ultimate martial arts of the Terran Terrans in the Eastern Regions and the Southern Regions, located at the top of the strength pyramid, and the entire Eastern Regions is no more than two hands, all of them are the ancestors of the major giants, dominating one side and controlling the ups and downs of the Eastern Regions.
Mei Lao is not very interested in fighting for hegemony, but he is eager to live a long time, and martial arts cultivation determines the longevity of the cultivator.
The Diwu Realm has basically gotten rid of the life level of mortals, with a lifespan of two or three hundred years, and a lifespan of five hundred in the Xuanwu Realm.
Mei Lao has lived for more than 400 years, and if he can't break through, he will die in a few decades.
The longer you live, the more you know the meaning of life, and the older you get, the more afraid you are of death.
For him, advancing to the Heavenly Martial Realm is the only way to live, but the Heavenly Martial Martial Exercises are rare, and the Wood Attribute Heavenly Martial Martial Exercises are even rarer, and the known exercises are all in the hands of the major giants, and they will not be passed on at all.
He almost gave up his thoughts, but he didn't expect joy to fall from the sky and actually get the exercise he dreamed of.
So at this moment, he was full of gratitude to Luo Ling and happily agreed to be his bodyguard.
However, Luo Ling's surprises were not limited to this, he only heard him say: "The kid heard from the master that the more you cultivate, the more difficult it is to comprehend the later realms, especially after reaching the Yuanhai realm, it is even more difficult, so although Mei Lao has the Tiangang Yanmu Technique, he may not be able to enter the Tianwu Realm as he wishes." ”
Mei Lao nodded, the joy in his heart decreased sharply, and said: "What your master said is right, whether you can advance to the Heavenly Martial Realm depends on the individual's chance. ”
Luo Ling's alchemy skills were already amazing, wouldn't his master be even more powerful?
A flash of inspiration flashed in Mei Lao's mind, and he asked with a look full of expectation: "Since your master has passed on your peerless alchemy technique, he must have attained extremely high medicinal dao attainments, what is his grade?"
He has cultivated for more than four hundred years, has seen a lot, and knows that he can break through the bottleneck of the martial arts realm with the help of the Realm Breaking Pill, if Luo Ling's master can refine the Realm Breaking Pill and break through the Heavenly Martial Realm, it will be a certainty.
The Realm Breaking Pill is a legendary heaven-level pill, which can only be refined by a heaven-level alchemist, and there has not been a heaven-level alchemist in the Eastern and Southern Regions for tens of thousands of years, and the heaven-level pill has long been extinct.
Luo Ling naturally guessed his thoughts, and responded: "Shizun has never told me, the kid thinks that his old man must be a heaven-level alchemist, there is no doubt about this!"
Mei Lao was suddenly overjoyed, and then he hesitated, thinking about whether to open his mouth to ask Luo Ling for help.
Without waiting for his words to come out, Luo Ling said again: "But my master never helps others refine medicine, the boy's father once entered the Yin Wind Valley and was severely injured by the soul beast, the boy begged the master to refine the Soul Strengthening Pill, but his old man refused to agree, and in the end, it was the father who refined the Soul Strengthening Pill by himself." ”
"Yes......"
Mei Lao's face froze, his heart was disappointed, and he was silent.
Luo Ling smiled: "Mei always wants to break through the bottleneck of the martial arts realm with the help of the Realm Breaking Pill, right?"
The heart was pierced by Luo Ling, Mei Lao's face turned pale, and he smiled hesitantly: "You have already passed it on to the old man Tiangang Yanmu, why are you embarrassed to open your mouth again?"
Yo, do you know you're embarrassed?
I thought your face was like the corner of the city wall!
Luo Ling smiled secretly, feeling that the time was almost up, and said: "Shizun is full of praise for the kid's alchemy talent, supplemented by the peerless alchemy technique, it is determined that the kid is expected to be promoted to a heaven-level alchemist within ten years. ”
"What? Did your master really say that?"
Mei Lao asked in surprise, his tone urgent, his eyes burning, revealing obvious expectation.
Luo Ling nodded, and said with a determined expression: "Anyway, that's what the master said, and the kid also thinks that there is still a lot of hope for breaking through to the heaven level within ten years." ”
"Oh......"
Mei Lao nodded slowly, looked at Luo Ling, his eyes were sharp and flashing, and after a few seconds, he showed a trace of excitement, and said: "Luo Ling, no matter whether you can be promoted to a heaven-level alchemist within ten years, the old man will bet on you, from today on, the old man will be responsible for your thoroughness, and remove all threats and obstacles for you, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is against you, the old man will die to the end!"
Originally, the agreed term of protection was five years, but he changed his mind and changed his name for Luo Ling.
Although the Eastern and Southern Regions had a population of hundreds of millions and countless alchemists, in his eyes, only Luo Ling had the most hope of being promoted to a heaven-level alchemist, and it was worth taking a gamble, so he exchanged the remaining decades of time into bargaining chips, all betting on Luo Ling.
This is equivalent to tying him and Luo Ling's fate together, becoming a worm on a rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost!
This is not because he has great courage, nor is it an impulsive decision, but based on Luo Ling's comprehensive judgment and rational consideration.
Except for Luo Ling's line, he can't see any hope, Shouyuan only has a few decades left, why be afraid?
"Good!"
Luo Ling smiled happily.
What he wants is Mei Lao's attitude.
If you put a half-hearted master who may change his hexagram at any time, it is tantamount to a thunderbolt, and it may explode at some point.
But this does not mean that he trusts Mei Lao completely, and it will take time to verify.
Naturally, he would not tell Mei Lao about his relationship with Chu Liang and his uncommon enmity with the current saints.
In any case, the probability of Mei Lao's change of hexagram has been greatly reduced, as long as he witnesses his alchemy skills improving rapidly, the possibility of changing the hexagram will be very small.
Although he made up a non-existent master and told a big lie, he didn't feel the slightest sense of guilt.
Lying was out of self-preservation, and it didn't bring any harm to Mei Lao.
Moreover, reinstating a heaven-level alchemist within ten years was already his most conservative estimate.
In the general direction, he did not deceive Mei Lao.
Mei Lao lowered his head and thought about it, showed a resolute look, and said: "If you are single-minded, I will go and push off this errand of the Meng family." ”
Luo Ling said: "Old Mei, the Meng family's errand does not conflict with protecting me, so there is no need to push it away." ”
The strength of the Meng family is good, maybe it will be borrowed in the future, and he doesn't want to offend the Meng family for this.
Moreover, he has reached a long-term cooperation with Meng Yunshan, how can he not believe it? Moreover, this kind of cooperation is extremely beneficial to him.
Mei Lao pondered, "What do you mean......?"
Luo Ling said with a smile: "Protecting one person is protection, protecting two people is also protection, as long as you are in the same step, you will not be distracted." ”
Mei Lao smiled and nodded, "That's very good!"
He was originally worried that Luo Ling had a grudge against his Meng family's errand, but since Luo Ling had no opinion, he didn't have to push it away.
As a last resort, he doesn't want to offend the Meng family, doesn't he? Not to mention that Meng Junhan's grandfather has a good relationship with him.
Luo Ling groaned: "Sooner or later, the relationship between you and me will be exposed, so it's better to be like this...... Externally, you pinned your hopes on me to be promoted to a heaven-level alchemist in the future and help you refine heaven-level pills. ”
Mei Lao shook his head, "I'm afraid this statement won't convince people, otherwise I will be ridiculed as stupid." ”
Well, a blank check sent me away, isn't it stupid?
Luo Ling asked, "Can you think of a better excuse?"
Mei Lao thought and thought, and finally shook his head.
Unless Luo Ling came from a prominent background, or came up with dry goods that were enough to make the hearts of the Xuanwu Realm powerhouses, no one would believe him if he was willing to be Luo Ling's bodyguard, and it would inevitably lead to suspicion.
Luo Ling smiled: "Since this is the case, let's put it this way, it's better to talk than nothing." ”
Mei Lao had to nod his head, whether it was suspicious or ridiculed as stupid, what was it compared to the benefits that Luo Ling gave him?
By the day Luo Ling was promoted to a heaven-level alchemist, he would be able to get his name.
At that time, people in the world will only praise him for his accurate vision and wisdom.
Immediately, Mei Lao withdrew the enchantment and let Chu Liang, Meng Junhan and Meng Yunshan, who were waiting outside, come in.
The eyes of the three of them swept over the faces of Mei Lao and Luo Ling one after another, all showing doubts. 、
In fact, Luo Ling and Mei Lao's expressions were quite calm, but they still noticed a trace of abnormality in them.
The two of them are too calm!
Especially Mei Lao, the joy between his eyebrows has not completely faded.
Mei Lao looked at Meng Junhan and said, "Han girl, let's stay in Cangyu City for a while, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the climate is pleasant, so let's live here." What's that, the Meng family's business in the Xiaotian Dynasty will let the Shan boy run more errands, and you will be close to Luo Lingduo in the future, well, the old man has no other meaning, he just wants you to learn alchemy from him more. ”
"Uh......"
Chu Liang and Meng Yunshan were both stunned, the clouds and mountains were covered in fog, and their hearts said What happened?
Meng Junhan was no longer calm, his delicate face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Old Mei, Junhan can't understand what you're talking about......
