"Just now, you have preliminarily comprehended the prototype of your martial arts, and in the future, when you go farther and farther along the way of martial arts, your martial arts will become more and more powerful, and you must have already experienced this kind of experience."

The old man's words echoed in Qin Lu's ears like thunder.

He recalled that when he swung the last sword just now, he felt that his combat power had climbed to an unprecedented peak in an instant, and his abilities in all aspects had been improved, and even the Overlord Blade had exploded with stronger power in this state.

He remembered that he just wanted to swing that knife at all costs.

Indomitable.

"Is that a martial force?"

Qin Lu muttered to himself in his heart.

"I have injected a drop of three-turn true water into your body, your injuries will heal soon, after this battle, you need to understand it well, it will be of great benefit to you."

As soon as the old man's words fell, Qin Zhan'an exclaimed, "Three turns of real water? It is rumored that a drop of three turns of real water can be flesh and bones, and the value is unlimited, this ......"

Hearing this, Qin Lu silently felt it, and found that there was a drop of water emitting a divine light in his dantian, and the aura contained in it had reached an incredible level.

The stone bowl vortex rotated autonomously, quickly refining the water droplets, transforming them into wisps of purple true qi, which merged into Qin Lu's limbs and hundreds of remains.

At this point, Qin Lu completely understood the old man's intentions, he took a deep breath and bowed solemnly to the old man.

"There was a lot of offense by the juniors just now, please punish the seniors."

The old man glanced at him, and then said, "Follow me." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Qin Lu hesitated for a moment, comforted Qin Zhan'an and the others not to worry, and followed.

The old man took Qin Lu out of Qin's house, and finally stopped by a remote river in the city.

"I don't know my seniors, why do my seniors help me so much?"

Qin Lu asked.

The old man stood by the river with his hands behind his back, looked down at the murmuring of the river, and said, "I know your father. ”

With just this sentence, Qin Lu was stunned for a moment, his face stunned.

The old man didn't look back, and said to himself: "I once made a bet with your father, and I lost, so I promised him that after a few years, no matter who opened the ancient road, he would accept that person as an apprentice, but I didn't expect that that person would actually be you." ”

Qin Lu's eyes widened, and his heart was extremely shocked, but it was not because the old man said that he would take him as an apprentice, but because there was still his father behind this matter.

"May I ask, what is the bet?"

"I can't."

The old man refused very simply, "Or should I say, you can only understand after you have reached a certain stage." ”

"Why?"

Qin Lu frowned.

The old man did not answer.

After a while, Qin Lu asked hesitantly, "What stage is needed?" ”

This time, the old man was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "At least the Great Perfection of the Xuan Realm." ”

Occult realm?

Qin Lu's pupils shrank, above the hidden realm was the transformation realm, and above the transformation realm was the Xuan realm, such a strong person, with Qin Lu's current strength and vision, it was impossible to guess, but immediately after, Qin Lu's heartbeat became violent.

If Qin Lu needs at least the Great Perfection of the Xuan Realm to be qualified to know the inside story, then wouldn't the old man who has already been in this game already reach this realm, or even stronger?

Thinking of this, Qin Lu suddenly recalled the scene of confronting the old man in the Qin family not long ago.

At that moment, the scene that seemed to be the sky falling left an indelible mark on Qin Lu's heart.

And now, such a strong man says that he wants to take himself as an apprentice? If this matter was to be said, it would definitely arouse the envy of countless young talents, but now, Qin Lu wanted to know more about his father.

Qin Lu was about to continue to ask, but the old man said in advance: "I said it, if you want to know the inside story, you need to at least reach the Great Perfection of the Xuan Realm, this is not alarmist, but with your current strength, knowing these things in advance will only be a disaster for you, and it will even cause disaster to the people around you." ”

When he said this, Qin Lu heard a serious meaning in the old man's words for the first time, he glanced at the other party deeply, and finally stopped wanting to ask questions.

He didn't suspect that the old man was lying to him, in fact, with the strength of the old man, dealing with himself was as simple as strangling an ant, so why bother?

It is precisely because of this that Qin Lu is more and more confused about his father's identity.

Perhaps sensing Qin Lu's thoughts, the old man continued: "Don't look at your father with some ordinary eyes, in your eyes, he may just be a master in this small city, but for some people, especially people like me, his existence is ...... It's so mysterious. ”

Qin Lu's heart became more and more shocked.

He clearly heard the admiration in the old man's mouth, even respect!

In his impression, Qin Zongheng was just a hidden realm martial artist, how could He De make a strong man like the old man value him so much?

At this time, the old man finally took his eyes away from the river and put it on Qin Lu, "Regarding the fact that you opened the ancient road, you must remember not to leak it, that road is far more terrifying than you imagined." If I'm not mistaken, the key on your body has been silent since you left the ancient path, right? ”

Qin Lu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"That's because the timing of your entry into the ancient path is wrong, at this stage, the ancient path will only be opened for a very small number of existences for the time being, and the more times you open it, the more you will ...... in the end."

Speaking of this, the old man was suddenly silent, and Qin Lu hurriedly asked, "What will happen in the end?" ”

The old man was silent for a moment and said, "Unspeakable. ”

Qin Lu was stunned for a moment, and then the old man said: "If I am not mistaken, the next opening of the ancient road should be in three years, and at that time, if I am still there, I will make it clear to you, you just need to remember that during this period, you must not let anyone know that you have a key on you, otherwise, there will be disasters that you can't imagine." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lu was a little disappointed, but he also understood that the ancient road was by no means ordinary, and he knew too much now, and there were disadvantages and disadvantages.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

"Why don't you ask me about taking you as an apprentice?"

The old man asked suddenly.

Qin Lu adjusted his inner thoughts and said: "I know that the initiative in this matter lies with the seniors, not me, even if the seniors had a gambling contract with my father first, but now that my father has passed away, there is not so much constraint on whether to gamble or not." ”

After speaking, Qin Lu bowed deeply to the old man, "The seniors first helped the juniors repel foreign enemies today, and then helped the juniors to comprehend the martial arts, and also gave a drop of three-turn true water, which is already a great favor, as for whether to apprentice or not, it doesn't matter anymore." ”

An undetectable glint flashed in the old man's eyes, "You don't regret it?" ”

"If you can worship the seniors, it will naturally be a great blessing, but the younger generations also understand that many things can be done until the end, and no matter how greedy you are, the gains outweigh the losses."

"You have such thoughts, no matter how good, the old man is used to being free in this life, and he doesn't want to be tied up by too much affection, after today, I will wait until next year when the ancient road opens again, you and I will see each other again."

With that, the old man turned around and walked away without the slightest pause.

Qin Lu stood in place, maintaining a posture of restraint, and froze for half a quarter of an hour before he straightened his back calmly.

"If this matter spreads, I took the initiative to give up such an opportunity, I don't know how many people in the world laugh at me for being a fool......"

Qin Lu shook his head and smiled, where was the slightest reluctance and remorse on his face?

As he said, the old man has helped him enough, and if he has to make an inch, the appearance will be too ugly.

In the face of hatred, Qin Lu is definitely a person who will be revenged.

But for kindness, Qin Lu can also maintain an open-minded and natural heart.

However, just as Qin Lu turned around and was about to leave, a voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

"In half a month, it will be the outer gate of the Yunqi Sect, the reward for the first place this time is a Tianshan Liuzhu, which has a surprising effect on the foundation injury of the martial artist, if you have the ability to obtain it, your grandfather's injury will be solved, and I can reconsider the matter of accepting apprentices."

Hearing this, Qin Lu was stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with surprise, he immediately nodded and said, "Juniors must do their best!" ”

"Don't be happy too early, not to mention how many Tianjiao people will participate in this Outer Gate Competition, the difficulty is the biggest in the history, and even whether you can go to Yunqi Sect safely is a question, don't forget, Zhang Siyuan is not dead yet."

These words were undoubtedly like a pour of cold water poured on Qin Lu's head, but this could not affect Qin Lu.

Not to mention anything else, the Tianshan Drift Bamboo alone is enough for him to give everything he can to get.

At this moment, Qin Lu suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly asked, "Don't know the name of the predecessor yet?" ”

"Zhong Pingsheng."

Just three words, but it was like an imprint, engraved in Qin Lu's heart.

After that, there was no sound around, but Qin Lu's heart was excited, and being able to obtain the approval of a powerhouse at least in the Xuan Realm was definitely a blessing that would benefit him for a lifetime!

"The outer door is more than ......"

Qin Lu groaned, and he suddenly remembered that Yang Qingyao also seemed to have an imperative look at this outer gate.

"If I could defeat you in Dabi, would it completely destroy the pride in your heart?"

Qin Lu muttered, a faint cold glint in his eyes.

But he knew that this was not simple, and compared to the big comparison of the outer gates, the first thing Qin Lu had to face was Zhang Siyuan's revenge.

There is no doubt that once Zhang Siyuan is sure that Zhong Pingsheng has left, he will inevitably launch a crazy pursuit of Qin Lu.

In particular, Zhang Siyuan also has two other helpers of the Hidden Realm Ninefold.

Subsequently, Qin Lu returned to Qin's house, and as soon as he stepped into the house, Yuhan, Xue Xiaoxiao, and Qin Zhan'an rushed over, their expressions full of concern and worry.

Qin Lu patiently explained, but he didn't tell the story about Gu Lu and Qin Zongheng, he made up an excuse to reassure the three of them.

Finally getting out of his relatives, Qin Lu returned to the room, crossed his knees on the bed, looked inwardly at the dantian, and found that the drop of three-turn true water was still floating in it, exuding a strange light.

Most of the injuries on his body had healed, and a large reason was that this drop of three-turn true water, coupled with the continuous absorption and transformation of the stone bowl vortex, the rich purple true qi permeated Qin Lu's body, nourishing him and making his state improve rapidly.

"It is worthy of being a prestigious spiritual material, it seems that this drop of three-turn true water can not only heal my injuries, but also make my cultivation to a higher level."

Thinking of this, Qin Lu immediately began to refine the Three Turns True Water.

When he took the initiative to refine, the effect of the Three Turns True Water could be completely stimulated.

In particular, there is also a stone bowl whirlpool, and the impurities of the three turns of true water are perfectly removed, and the huge spiritual power contained in it is like a flood of bursting embankments.

It didn't take long for Qin Lu's injuries to heal, and a large amount of fishy black sludge flowed out of his body, and he could feel as if he had been washed and undergone a metamorphosis from the inside out.

As for the matter about his father and Gu Lu, Qin Lu had already figured it out on the way back, as Zhong Pingsheng said, his strength was too low now, and many things were not qualified to understand clearly.

But this also gave Qin Lu a motivation, he wanted to become stronger, enough to sweep all enemies, enough to understand all the truth.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Qin Lu's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a flash of essence flickered, accompanied by a majestic wave that erupted from his body, shaking the entire room.

He got to his feet and shattered his body from the solidified sludge, his eyes burning.

He had already broken through to the fifth level of the hidden realm!
