Chapter 202: Soul Awakening
Time passed, and it had been two months since Chen Rui and Zhu Xiaolong left the city where the poison master was hidden. Writing "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info they have also crossed several small principalities, and are now rushing to the edge of the Eastern Regions.
And Chen Rui's cultivation finally broke through to the middle fifth level half a month ago, and his breakthrough was unacceptable to Zhu Xiaolong. Why is Chen Rui's cultivation obviously higher than him, and the breakthrough is easier than him, is the gap between the two of them so big? Later, Zhu Xiaolong also had to accept this fact, Chen Rui's talent is indeed incomparable to him.
"It will take about another month to enter the scope of the Eastern Regions, and the situation there is completely different from these principalities and empires!" Facing the warm morning sun, Chen Rui lazily rode on a horse and said to Zhu Xiaolong on the side.
"Such a different method?" Zhu Xiaolong asked curiously.
The first time he went out to experience so many things with Chen Rui, and his strength was growing rapidly, Zhu Xiaolong already liked this kind of life.
"Actually, if you want to talk about the places where we are, they can be regarded as the Eastern Regions. It's just a very remote place in the Eastern Regions, even if it's my hometown, the Silver Moon Empire. Chen Rui didn't answer directly, but calmly talked to Zhu Xiaolong about geography.
"Remote, where is it remote?" Zhu Xiaolong didn't understand, during this time he had also seen the strength and prosperity of the empire, in his opinion, it was enough for him to pursue for a lifetime.
"That's the way it is, you're feeling okay now just because there's no comparison. When you actually enter the Eastern Regions, you will find that these seemingly powerful and prosperous empires are nothing more than that. The real powerful power, the real prosperity is in the vast center of the Eastern Regions!" Chen Rui said with a little emotion, these are also what he heard Long Ling say when he was a child.
"The second-level elixir that you now regard as a treasure is just an ordinary thing in the Eastern Regions, and medium-level demon warriors like us are also everywhere there. Chen Rui continued lightly.
Long Ling used to always hit Chen Rui and Chen Tianhao from time to time, so that the two of them should not be complacent, and their talents were nothing in the Eastern Regions.
"Is there such a big gap?" Zhu Xiaolong couldn't believe it.
"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes. Moreover, you can't do this strength now!" Chen Rui said with a little anxiety.
Although Zhu Xiaolong's talent is not bad, he is already a mid-level demon martial artist at such an age. But in the Eastern Regions, the kind of mixed fish and dragons is not based on whether you are talented or not, they only look at strength, and only if your strength is strong enough will you be respected.
"That's no way, I'm not a cultivator like you!" Zhu Xiaolong rolled his eyes and said.
"Anyway, we have to improve our strength before we reach the Eastern Regions. Chen Rui said seriously.
"By the way, isn't there any movement in the jade bottle I gave you before?" Chen Rui suddenly remembered the jade bottle that hid the soul before, maybe he could get some help from that soul. He gave it to Zhu Xiaolong before, and after these two months, at least it has to change a little.
"Is that jade bottle? there's no movement, is there anything wrong?" Zhu Xiaolong asked suspiciously.
At first, he thought that the jade bottle was special, and he often took it out to take a look, but he never found anything special, and then he didn't care about it, and he kept it in his arms.
"Take it out and I'll take a look. Chen Rui said and stretched out his hand to Zhu Xiaolong, he should let 256 take another look.
"Oh, give. Zhu Xiaolong didn't shirk either, reached into his arms and took out the jade bottle to Chen Rui.
"Is it still the same?" Holding the jade bottle in his hand, he poured out the pill inside and handed it to Zhu Xiaolong, and then flipped it over and looked at it twice, as if it had indeed not changed.
"256, what's wrong with that soul?" he couldn't see anything, so Chen Rui had to ask in his mind.
"Well, he's been awake a long time ago, but he's just silent, and he's been watching you secretly. 256's faint voice came out.
"Ahh
"It's not a big deal anyway, and that guy doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. 256 said indifferently.
Chen Rui was speechless, "Even if that's the case, you should have told me earlier." ”
"Well, I forgot. 256 told the truth, so that it would not care about these little things all the time.
"I've convinced you, well, since you said that he didn't mean anything, what is the purpose of him observing our words all the time?" Chen Rui then asked.
"You'll have to ask him yourself, and as for what he thinks, I think this time should have been decided. 256 was silent after saying a word, as long as that soul was not threatened, it was better to let Chen Rui solve it himself.
"His decision? Then I'll ask him myself. Then, Chen Rui's thoughts returned to the outside world.
"Hey, don't pretend when you wake up. Chen Rui held the jade bottle in his hand and said casually.
"Hmm, Lin Rui, what are you talking about?" Zhu Xiaolong asked curiously as he watched Chen Rui muttering to himself in the jade bottle.
"It's okay, I'm talking to the people in this bottle. Chen Rui replied casually.
"You're talking to this bottle?!"
"Not talking to the bottle, but talking to the soul in the bottle. Chen Rui emphasized.
"What? There's a human soul in this bottle?!" Zhu Xiaolong shouted with wide eyes.
Although Zhu Xiaolong has followed Chen Rui these days to see a lot of things that he had never seen in Xiye Territory before, but the soul hidden in the bottle was really the first time he knew it, and he didn't doubt Chen Rui's words much, after all, there was no need to lie to him. However, he carried this bottle for more than two months!
"Well, but now he's playing dumb with us. Chen Rui's hand shook twice, and said lightly.
"You mean, you have been carrying this bottle with a soul with me for more than two months?" Zhu Xiaolong was surprised at first, and now he became very angry.
"Uh! Isn't it because you don't want to keep those pills for me, so you have to carry them yourself. Well, that's not the point, now the focus is on the soul in it. Chen Rui explained a little embarrassed, and then turned his attention back to the bottle.
"Humph!"
"We've all talked about it now, and you still don't want to show up?" Chen Rui asked in an unkind tone towards the jade bottle.
"If you don't make a sound, I'll just drop this bottle!" Seeing that the jade bottle hadn't reacted yet, Chen Rui raised the bottle high as he spoke, and wanted to throw it to the ground.
"You can't smash this bottle. Just as Chen Rui waved his hand and threw the bottle towards the ground, a slightly tired voice sounded out of thin air.
"Hehe, are you finally willing to speak?" Chen Rui chuckled when he heard this unfamiliar voice, and then put the bottle back.
"There really are people!" Zhu Xiaolong had already jumped far away when that voice sounded, and he couldn't accept this kind of strange thing for a while.
"So you're deliberately provoking me, but you don't have a way to break this bottle. "Now that the voice has spoken, it doesn't seem to be going to be hidden.
"Are you sure?" Chen Rui asked lightly, this bottle can't be smashed, but he has other ways to make the soul in it have nowhere to stay.
"Well, since I don't know how you found me, I don't have to hide anymore. Actually, you knew from the beginning that I was hiding in this bottle, and you put those pills in on purpose?" the voice asked calmly.
"Well, that's right, I did it, otherwise do you think you'd wake up so quickly?" Chen Rui didn't deny it.
"Lin Rui, I didn't expect you to cheat my pill!" Hearing that inexplicable voice, Zhu Xiaolong glanced at the pill in his hand and found that there were two missing, so he immediately called out.
"Isn't it just two pills, and I'll pay you back twice in the future. Chen Rui's head was full of black lines.
"It's decided!" Zhu Xiaolong was relieved and jumped back again.
"Okay, don't talk to me about these things. Now let's talk about you, who are you? How did you hide in this bottle? After waking up and secretly observing us for so long, is there any conspiracy?" Chen Rui asked what he wanted to know.
"Hehe, what kind of conspiracy can I have now, a half-wasted person, just to hear that you are going to the Eastern Regions and want to pass by. Could it be that the voice replied lightly, as if it was just a simple ride.
"So who are you, and how did you get to where you are?"
"Well, you put the bottle down, and I'll come out and tell you myself, so it's not appropriate for you to face the bottle and me to the darkness. The voice didn't answer immediately, but asked Chen Rui to put the bottle on the ground, and he seemed to be able to come out.
"Well, I just want to see what a soul body looks like. Chen Rui casually agreed, and put the jade bottle on the ground. He was tired of seeing the shape of 256 for a long time, just a pale blue light.
Then, under Chen Rui's curious and Zhu Xiaolong's somewhat frightened gaze, a puff of green smoke slowly emerged from the jade bottle on the ground and rose upward. When the puff of green smoke was all out of the jade bottle, it gathered together and floated quietly in front of the two of them.
"This is you?" Chen Rui asked with a little disappointment as he looked at the green smoke in front of him that was constantly changing shape.
"It's amazing!" and Zhu Xiaolong on the other side seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him, and shouted loudly.
"Well, that's who I am. However, because my previous injuries were still too serious, I can't show my full appearance for the time being, and it is not easy to get out of that bottle. From that green smoke came the voice that Chen Rui and the others had just heard.
"Well, now that we're face to face, it's time to talk about you. Chen Rui said casually with a wave of his hand.
He thought that the soul was so magical, but it turned out to be just such an ordinary puff of green smoke, and it seemed that a gust of wind would blow it away. Chen Rui complained silently in his heart.
"Well, I was alive. Uh! no, I was a Demon Martial Artist with an advanced eighth-level cultivation before I was injured. The man's self-introduction came from the green smoke, but he only wanted to laugh in Chen Rui's ears. Before I was alive...
"A high-level eighth-level demon warrior?!, so powerful!" Zhu Xiaolong on the side didn't hear the laughter in his words, but was frightened by his strength. Zhu Xiaolong may not reach such heights as him in this life.
"Well, it's okay. I'm still a little famous in the outer areas of the Eastern Regions, my name is Li Yu. The man was not proud when he heard Zhu Xiaolong's compliment, and continued to introduce himself.
"Li Yu, such a delicate name. Chen Rui almost didn't hold back his laughter.
"Hehe, the names are all taken by my parents, and I can't help it. ”
Subsequently, this group of green smoke slowly told Chen Rui about his affairs and encounters. (To be continued.) )
