Chapter 19: One Month!
Chapter 19 One Month!
Chen Shuo has long been accustomed to Li Batian's change of face, so he is not surprised. However, he was very curious about the Duke in his mouth, and asked in detail.
Li Batian explained to him: "That old rascal's name is Xia Fan, and he is also my Li family's in-laws. After that, you and Ling'er are there, and you should call him brother-in-law haha. ”
Laughing and teasing the young man, Li Batian was obviously in a good mood, and said excitedly: "I went to the Qian family with the receipt yesterday, guess what? The face of the old fat pig of the Qian family is like eating a fly, I am so happy to see it, ahhaha, this is 50 million gold coins." The old fat pig is going to lose a few laps this time. ”
Hearing Li Batian's words, Chen Shuo couldn't help but mourn in silence for the head of the Qian family, and was approached by Li Batian, a guy who looked serious, but was actually a second-rate guy, and asked for money, but he really couldn't bear it.
After eating, he followed Li Batian to the Duke's Palace, but was surprised to find that the layout of the Duke's Mansion was not luxurious, and even a little simple.
"Old rascal, I'm here! Don't serve tea to welcome guests!" Before he entered the door, Li Batian's loud voice resounded throughout the Duke's Palace, but the people around him were doing their own things, and they were obviously used to it.
"You're not a small person. Why don't you know how to be more steady?" As a gentle and touching voice came out, a noble lady walked out of the house, dressed in purple, without any decoration but looking graceful and luxurious.
"Sister, aren't I happy. Come and introduce to you, this is Xiao Chen, and it is also my family Ling'er's hehe"
Knowing that this noble lady was Li Batian's sister Li Bing'er, Chen Shuo bowed and said, "I've seen the Duchess." ”
"Okay, it's all my own family, so I don't have to be polite, come with me. ”
Walking into the house, he was the first middle-aged man with a polite temperament, "Chen Shuo, I must have told you about my affairs, so I won't talk nonsense, I called you this time to ask you to do me a favor." ”
"The kid's strength is low, I'm afraid he won't be able to help the Duke much, right?" Chen Shuo asked cautiously.
Xia Fan didn't mind Chen Shuo's vague excuses, and said kindly, "Do you know the ancient battlefield?"
"I don't know. ”
"The ancient battlefield is in the ancient period, and there was an earth-shattering battle between the side led by the Ancient Spirit Sect and the sect alliance represented by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and the cause of the conflict is no longer verifiable. However, the final result of that shocking battle was that both sides were defeated, countless strong men fell, and countless martial arts skills were lost. And for unknown reasons, the place where the great battle took place has been enveloped by the violent force of various castes for many years, forming a Force barrier across the entire battlefield, and every three hundred years, a passage will be revealed in a specific location. And only those who do not exceed the integration period and are under the age of twenty-four can enter. Otherwise, it will be sucked into it by the powerful suction emitted by the Force barrier, and it will be churned to pieces. ”
"But the ancient battlefield, as dangerous as it is, also has countless opportunities. Those fallen powerhouses left their proudest martial arts skills before they died, waiting for the arrival of destined people, and the storage rings of those strong people were also full of countless wealth, and the Hong-level elixir spiritual objects that seemed extremely precious to us now were just ordinary objects in that period. ”
"What does the Duke mean?"
"I want you to represent our principality in the battle for the Ancient Battlefield in two years' time. ”
"I have a question, it stands to reason that this should be a good opportunity, presumably the Principality of Great Xia should have a quota limit. But why should you give it to me?"
"That ancient battlefield is full of dangers, and those who are not strong enough to go there are only to die. There is a shortage of young and strong people in my Principality of Great Xia, and there is no one to go to the last time I opened the ancient battlefield. I'm also going to have a good relationship with you. You can also be regarded as a family, if you can gain something in it and become a strong party, you can take care of my Principality of Great Xia in the future. To put it bluntly, it's an investment. If you agree, my Great Xia Duchy will do everything in its power to help you cultivate and improve your strength. If you don't want to agree, just do it. ”
"Ancient battlefields? I'm interested. I agreed. ”
"Yes! This is the secret vault pass of my Duke's Palace, which contains all kinds of elixirs. You can use it to your heart's content to maximize your strength. As he spoke, Xia Fan handed Chen Shuo a token, on which the word Duke was engraved on one side of the dragon, flying and phoenix, and on the other side was engraved with a big Xia character.
"By the way, I got the news that there is a strong man's tomb in the Flame Forest that will be born soon, if you are interested, you can try your luck, the time is only a month later. After speaking, Xia Fan left with Li Bing'er.
"Boy, cultivate hard! I'm optimistic about you!" patted Chen Shuo on the shoulder, and Li Batian also turned around and left.
Smiling helplessly, Chen Shuo was led by the housekeeper to the secret vault of the Xia Mansion. After verifying the pass, Chen Shuo came to the inside of the secret vault, entered the Dan Pavilion, and looked at the orderly rows of pills visited, Chen Shuo couldn't help but be overwhelmed by a huge sense of happiness.
"Gathering Spirit Pill, Qi Nourishing Pill, Green Xuandan" all kinds of pills hit the young man's eyeballs.
"Uncle, I will be cultivating here in the future, please send me here every three meals. Turning his head and saying to the housekeeper, the young man couldn't wait to start cultivating.
"Yes, Young Master Chen Shuo. The housekeeper responded for a lifetime, looked at Chen Shuo's excited expression, and without saying much, he withdrew from the secret vault.
After picking up a bottle of Gathering Spirit Pill and swallowing one, Chen Shuo sat cross-legged on the floor and began to cultivate hard.
With the passage of time, the cyclone in Chen Shuo's body became more and more condensed, and the domineering of the Soul Devouring Heart Sutra was also reflected.
Just when Chen Shuo ate the 735th elixir, the cyclone shook slightly.
"Is it an intermediate level of qi cultivation?Next step: advanced level of qi cultivation!"
Chen Shuo, who felt the progress of his strength, was overjoyed in his heart, and then began to struggle for the new one.
Lee House, main hall.
"It's been a month, and Brother Chen hasn't come out of the vault yet. Li Linger said worriedly.
"Don't worry, that kid may have cultivated to the middle level of Qi Gathering by now. In the face of Li Ling'er's worries, Li Batian might as well take it to heart.
Li Ben also coaxed on the side: "Oh, I know, sister, do you miss Brother Chen?"
"What's the matter, what is the stinky boy talking nonsense, his ears are itching again. Li Ling'er, who was broken by his way, made a gesture and wanted to pull Li Ben's ears.
"Wow, you're going to bully me!"
"Who bullied you, Rocky. I'll help you punch his ass!" a voice came from outside the door and left everyone stunned.
"Brother Chen!" rushed out of the door excitedly, seeing the familiar face, Li Ling'er couldn't help but rush into the former's arms with the longing in her heart.
"Did you miss me?"
"Hmm"
"How many times have you thought about it?"
"I want to think about it every day!"
"Ahem, cough, I said that you two should also pay attention, don't teach the children badly. ”
As soon as Li Batian's voice came out, Li Ling'er blushed again. Covered his face and ran away.
"You kid, now you have the strength of a high-level qi cultivation level. This cultivation is too fast. ”
"Hehe, average average, third in the country!"
"You're not the third in speed, you're the first. The tomb of the strong is about to be opened, when will you leave?"
"Ming, I haven't seen Ling'er for so long, I'll hehe tonight!"
"I can tell you, you are affectionate, and there are some things that can be done before you get married."
"An-la-a-la, I know, let's go, uncle!" Before Li Batian finished speaking, Chen Shuo interrupted him and ran away.
That night, the moonlight was exceptionally bright.
