Chapter 200: My father, Long Xingyu
In the face of Ling Lao and Ling Xiao's kind invitation, Long Haochen was the fastest to give a reply.
"I'm sorry Grandpa Ling, I can't promise you. I will only be a knight. Long Haochen said slightly apologetically.
"I'm sorry Grandpa Ling, IāI can't promise you either. I'll just be a knight. Yue Shen said with a little sadness.
"That's it." Ling Lao seemed to have known that Yue Shen would refuse his request, but when Yue Shen really opened his mouth to refuse him, his desire to snatch Yue Shen from the Knight Temple became even stronger.
"Ten years." Ling Lao said with a smile on his face, "I promise to let you rush to the ninth rank within ten years." ā
On the other side, Ling Xiao, who was about to open his mouth to lure Long Haochen, was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look at his old man with an incredible face.
"Grandpa, are you serious?" Ling Xiao swallowed his saliva, recalling the previous incident where the Yang Hall Master of the Knight Templar Temple had come to trouble him for this kid.
Ignoring the grandson who was interrupting on the side, Ling Lao pinched his fingers and said, "If you want, I can take you out of the demon hunting group now, and you don't have to live that kind of life like licking blood from the knife edge, you only need to concentrate on cultivation in Zhennan Pass for a few years." ā
"In terms of the spirit furnace, I will personally help you choose and assist you in absorbing and fusing the top light attribute priest spirit furnace." Ling Lao's slightly thin eyes seemed to be shining, "And Ling Xiao will almost abdicate in a few more years, at that time you will be the next hall master of our priest temple, and there are a few of us old guys behind you, even if it is not difficult to help you fight for the position of the leader of the temple alliance at that time." ā
Yue Shen: "......"
Seeing that Yue Shen didn't react, Ling Lao also said patiently: "Think about it, you have the talent to cultivate the Priest Inheritance." ā
āā¦ā¦ I'm sorry, Grandpa Ling. Yue Shen shook his head, "I can't join your priest's temple. I grew up in the Knight Temple, and whether it's Grandpa Han, Grandpa Yang, or Teacher Xingyu, they all take a lot of care of me, so I can't do this kind of thing. ā
"And I still want to experience some time in the demon hunting group, and I can't calm down and cultivate." Yue Shen stood up from his seat and saluted Ling Lao, "Thank you Ling Lao for your kindness." ā
"It doesn't matter." Ling Lao smiled and waved his hand, "Because I already knew you wouldn't agree." ā
Yue Shen: "??? ā
"So, Grandpa Ling, did you notice something?" Yue Shen asked after hesitating for a moment.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have given you such a condition." Ling Lao was a little smiling, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice entered Yue Shen's ears, "You shouldn't be a Divine Shelter Physique, right?" ā
Yue Shen was a little stunned when he heard this, looking at the smiling old man in front of him, he couldn't tell for a moment whether the other party was cheating on him or if he had really discovered something.
However, since the other party did not use an affirmative tone, Yue Shen naturally would not take the initiative to have a showdown.
Bowing to Elder Ling again, Yue Shen retreated behind Han Yao.
Seeing that his old man had no success in poaching people, Ling Xiao knew that it was time for him to make a move.
Although he didn't know what his grandfather was thinking, Ling Xiao also felt that it was somewhat inauthentic for the two of them to dig up the knight temple in one go.
Isn't it just right that they want one for each of the two holy sanctuary constitutions, the knight and the priest temple? And if he hadn't heard that among the six major temples today, only their priest temple didn't have good seedlings, he wouldn't have done such a thing as poaching people in front of his old teammate Han Yao.
"What about you, Haochen?" Ling Xiao turned to look at Long Haochen and said, "As long as you are willing, the treatment given to you by our Priest Temple is the same as that of Yue Shen......"
"Save it." Before Long Haochen could reply, he was preempted by Ling Lao, "Even Yue Shen can't win it, and Haochen is even more impossible." ā
"How can you ...... if you don't try," Ling Xiao replied a little unconvinced.
"Will you not ask him whose son he is?" Ling Lao asked with a smile.
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly asked Long Haochen eagerly, "Who is your father?" ā
Long Haochen said: "My father is Long Xingyu. ā
Ling Xiao: "......"
"Hahaha......" Seeing that Ling Lao on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw his grandson's stiff expression after learning the truth.
"Yue Shen is a student of Long Xingyu, and Long Haochen is the son of Long Xingyu......" Ling Xiao said with a dejected face: "No matter how good the seedlings are, they belong to the Long family." ā
"Don't say it's you, I was far more surprised than you when I first learned about it." Ling Lao stroked his gray beard, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Okay, let's get down to business." ā
Ling Xiao finally glanced at Yue Shen and Long Haochen, and after sighing lightly to express regret, he hurriedly reined in the embarrassed appearance just now, and reverted back to the serious expression he had in the previous meeting.
"I suggested that the two children, Yue Shen and Haochen, enter the Dream Paradise and have a good experience." Ling Xiao motioned for a few people to sit down at the conference table again, "Not to mention the ones we just mentioned in the meeting, just because the Demon Clan can not hesitate to launch millions of troops to attack for the Dream Paradise and want to enter it at all costs, it is enough to know how important it is." ā
"I guess you don't know the origin of Dream Paradise, do you?" Ling Xiao looked at Yue Shen and Long Haochen and asked, and after receiving affirmative answers from the two, he continued: "Dream Heaven is a magical place, located in a forest one hundred and twenty miles north of Zhennan Pass.
At the same time, it is called the Temple of Dreams. It is said that the Temple of Dreams is a palace left by the goddess of nature on earth, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth on its own. The Temple of Dreams will be opened once every hundred years, and those who can enter it will be given great opportunities, but they will also encounter the same dangers as chances. ā
"And this opportunity must be no stranger to you." Ling Xiao looked at the two of them and said, "That's the spirit furnace that the two of you who won the top three in the Demon Hunting Regiment's selection competition have in your hands. ā
Long Haochen just nodded slightly, after all, he already had a Holy Spirit Furnace in his hand, and it had evolved three times. As for whether he could obtain a new spirit furnace in the Dream Heaven to fuse with it, Long Haochen didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, compared to the spirit furnace that does not have a high degree of compatibility with his Holy Spirit Furnace, it is better to rely on his own spiritual power to slowly cultivate it and survive until it evolves.
It would be best to be able to obtain a spirit furnace suitable for fusion, but if he didn't, he could also choose to help his teammates see if there was a spirit furnace suitable for them to absorb.
It's just that Long Haochen always felt that Yue Shen on the side seemed to have become positive after hearing the spirit furnace.
Didn't he already have two spirit furnaces? Long Haochen thought with great doubts in his heart.
Spiritual furnace, spiritual furnace...... It has become the appearance of feeling that there is no hope in life without obtaining the way to the spiritual furnace...... Yue Shen thought so in his heart, and compared to the various spirit furnaces produced by Dream Heaven, Yue Shen still had something he wanted more.
"Grandpa Ling, how many spirit furnaces can this Dream Heaven produce every time it is opened?" Long Haochen asked with some curiosity.
After all, among the known spirit furnaces, there were only two or three spirit furnaces that were suitable for fusing with his Holy Spirit Furnace, and the number of spirit furnaces recorded by their alliance was as high as hundreds. If he added that the number of spiritual furnaces produced by Dream Heaven was not high every time he opened it, he would have been mentally prepared at that time.
Ling Xiao replied, "This is not accurate, after all, the quantity produced each time is different. However, there are generally no more than twenty types, and there is usually only one of each spirit furnace. In addition, the more powerful the spirit furnace, the more difficult the test it needs to face. The most important thing about entering a dream paradise is not to be greedy. Otherwise, even if you pass the test, you will definitely die. ā
"What do you mean by that?" Hearing this, Han Yao couldn't help but ask, "It's not like our Knight Templar Temple hasn't sent someone to go into the Dream Heaven with you to obtain the Spirit Furnace before, why haven't I heard of such a thing." ā
"After all, this dream paradise is assigned to our priest's temple management." Ling Xiao smiled slightly, "Secrets like this will naturally not be known to you, so every time I led a team to Dream Heaven to obtain the Spirit Furnace before, it was the people from our Priest's Temple who were in charge. ā
"Why is the old man willing to let the demons follow him into the dream paradise? You don't really think we're compromising with the demons, do you? Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Ling Xiao couldn't help but say with a smug face: "Because we have enough experience to ensure that the demon clan returns with a feather, let them know that Dream Heaven is not a place for them to touch." Old Han, let me ask you, what would you do if you saw dozens of spirit furnaces in front of you? ā
"Of course, I packed them all up and took them away." Han Yao replied without thinking.
"That's right, not only you, but the greedy guys of the demon clan must think the same way." Ling Xiao suddenly changed his words, "But in this case, you will be dead." Ling Xiaoyu said endlessly.
Han Yao: "...... I, you kid, must have done it on purpose. ā
"It's all for the children." Ling Xiao snorted, and then continued: "Although the spirit furnace in the Dream Temple can be collected casually, you can collect as much as you want. But the real test is yet to come.
That is to say, when you have collected a large amount of the furnace and are ready to leave, or when the dream paradise is about to close, your trials will follow.
The intensity of the test will be determined by the number of furnaces you have obtained. Note! The intensity of the assessment is increased by geometric multiples, which is why I said that greedy people will eventually die without a place to bury. Ling Xiao suddenly said with a serious face. You know, this is a bloody lesson that their pastor's temple has lost a lot of manpower in the dream paradise.
"I am, I see." Han Yao said a little dumbfounded.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that many people in Ling Xiao's Ling family had died in Dream Paradise.
"With the current cultivation of the two of you, you can only take three or no spirit furnaces from it at most." Ling Xiao obviously noticed the expressions on the faces of the two of them just now, and although the two of them refused his invitation, he couldn't help but remind: "Although the spirit furnace is good, it must be taken out with a life." ā
"Do you remember the two white balls that the old man just gave you? Then a dream gem from Paradise of Dreams. Ling Xiao explained: "With this thing, when you encounter an irresistible crisis inside, or encounter a strong person sent by the demon clan, you can use spiritual power to stimulate the dream gem to get out of it immediately, and we will guard outside the temple to provide you with protection." So even though the opening of this fantasy paradise is far more dangerous than ever, I still recommend that you go in and try it, after all, it is a very rare opportunity to experience. ā
"Although you all already have a spirit furnace now, the spirit furnace produced in the Dream Temple can be said to be superb. Moreover, there will even be a spiritual furnace that we don't know about. As for whether you can grasp this opportunity, it depends on your own performance. ā
Speaking of this, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, "As for the people of the Demon Clan, if there are ten of them, it will be considered their luck to be able to come out one or two alive." ā
Although Ling Xiao didn't say what the price would be paid to forcibly leave the Dream Heaven with the Dream Gem, he thought that if they hadn't gone to the final spirit furnace assessment, they should not have been able to take anything with them.
Yue Shen was naturally not sure that he would not only collect so many spirit furnaces from the Dream Heaven, but also pass the later assessments. But don't forget, Yue Shen can't take away so many spirit furnaces from Dream Heaven, it doesn't mean that his Starry Sky Divine Beast companion Sol can't do it.
And even if it takes 10,000 steps back, even Thor can't pack and take away the spirit furnace that suits its appetite without passing the Dream Heaven assessment, then it can be eaten in. During the time when Dream Paradise opened, Thor could eat as much as he could.
Yue Shen didn't believe that everything had gone into Sol's stomach, and this dream paradise could still make it vomit.
The contact between Zhennanguan and the demons was very fast, and after a series of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement. The demons promised to suspend the offensive against Zhennan Pass, while the humans were to give them a place to enter the dream paradise.
As for what benefits the human race got in the negotiation process with the demons, only the high-level officials of Zhennan Pass knew. After all, the winner in this defensive battle of Zhennan Pass can only be their side of the Temple Alliance, and the demons still need their Zhennan Pass to help consume the population, so no matter how unconvinced the demons are, they can only be honestly stabbed.
However, for Yue Shen, he didn't care at all about the outcome of the negotiations between the Temple Alliance and the Demon Clan.
What he was really worried about was whether he should take his teammates into the dream paradise with him...... Through the Tower of Eternity, which Yin Lex left to him.
