In fact.

Ling Dehui didn't deliberately understand Ling Jiuqiu's information, he just praised it casually.

Including the behavior that seems to be taking refuge now, it is only the choice made after seeing Ling Jiuqiu's true strength and weighing the pros and cons.

In Ling Dehui's heart, even if Ling Jiuqiu really had the possibility of defeating Ling Bailong, it was only a small probability.

After all, a heaven-level martial soul is not an idle person.

There are many rumors that the future development prospects of the heaven-level martial soul and the heaven-level martial soul are almost worlds apart.

It is precisely because of this that Bailong will be highly valued, and he was admitted to the four major academies in advance, and was designated as a young patriarch in advance, and devoted all his resources to training.

Ling Dehui didn't believe that a heaven-level martial soul that was almost one in a hundred million would appear on Ling Bailong and Ling Jiuqiu brothers at the same time.

But he was still willing to bet on Ling Jiuqiu.

After all, with his identity, even if he went to seek refuge in Ling Bailong, it would be impossible to get attention, and there would not even be any difference from now.

But if he takes refuge in Ling Jiuqiu, once he defeats Ling Bailong, or even becomes the patriarch in the end, his position is likely to be even higher.

Charcoal in the snow is a hundred times stronger than icing on the cake!

It's like in a casino, no matter how low the odds are, as long as the odds are high enough, someone will bet.

Of course, Ling Dehui is just ready to place a bet on Ling Jiuqiu, as long as he is concealed enough, even if this bet does not gain anything, he will not be liquidated by Ling Bailong in the future.

Thinking of this, Ling Dehui glanced at Ling Jiuqiu, who was still calm and calm, and continued:

"Brother Chiyan obviously has no less talent and strength than Ling Bailong, but he is still so low-key, tenacious, calm, and so conductive, more than ten times stronger than Ling Bailong."

While saying this, he carefully observed the small half of Ling Jiuqiu's face exposed under the mask, trying to see Ling Jiuqiu's emotions through his expression, so as to infer the depth of his heritage.

If Jiuqiu is full of confidence and accepts his praise calmly, it means that his awakened martial soul is really likely to no longer be under the white dragon, or have other hole cards.

If Ling Jiuqiu showed hesitation, shame and other expressions, it meant that he himself had no confidence.

It's a pity that Ling Dehui didn't see anything.

Because Jiuqiu's complexion has always been unwavering.

"Well, at least this can be regarded as a sign of self-confidence, and such a calm and calm personality is indeed much stronger than Ling Bailong."

Ling Dehui nodded secretly.

Ling Jiuqiu said indifferently: "Steward Ling has said so much, what do you want to do?" ”

The implication is simple.

Since you have taken refuge, you can't just say it and not do it, right?

Ling Jiuqiu really needs his own forces, at least someone needs to provide him with information, but since you take the initiative to take refuge, you have to show some sincerity.

Ling Dehui's face was solemn, and he said: "I see that Brother Chiyan didn't seem to have mastered any body technique in the battle just now, and it just so happened that I was lucky enough to get a yellow-level upper body method, called Eight Steps to Catch Cicada, if Brother Chiyan is interested, I will take it later." ”

Ling Jiuqiu nodded unceremoniously: "Then thank you Dehui for taking care of things!" ”

He had just plundered the ground-level Martial Soul Ink Scale Sword, coupled with the increase in the strength of the Soul Refining Ding, as well as the Yellow-level high-grade martial art Meteor Palm Sword, it could be said that he was the strongest in terms of attack.

In terms of defense, it has the increase of the Soul Refining Ding, which is also the top in the same level.

Only the body method is Ling Jiuqiu's weakness.

If you have eight steps to catch the cicada, you can just make up for this only weakness.

The two talked for a while, and it could be regarded as a preliminary cooperative relationship, so Ling Dehui hurriedly went back and took the secret book of eight steps to catch cicadas and handed it to Ling Jiuqiu.

And earnestly admonished:

"The Second Lady's hostility towards you is known to almost the entire clan, and once she discovers that you have the possibility of threatening Ling Bailong, she will definitely kill you at all costs."

"Remember, try not to show your strength."

"The martial arts arena is too eye-catching, with your current reputation and special martial spirit, sooner or later you will be discovered by the second lady."

After speaking, Ling Dehui left.

Ling Jiuqiu opened the secret book of eight steps to catch the cicada, looked at it roughly, and then got up and left, taking his winning bet and capital, a total of 1,200 taels of silver.

At present, his total assets have reached 3,600 taels.

After thinking about it, Ling Jiuqiu only left one hundred taels of silver for backup, and almost all the rest of the silver taels were spent, and he bought 35 bottles of Qi and Blood Pill in the martial arts arena.

He's already decided.

Break through your cultivation immediately and improve as much as you can!

On the one hand, stay out of the limelight for the time being, and try to avoid being discovered by the family too early.

He also needs to grow.

On the other hand, the outside world is not like the martial arts arena that strictly restricts cultivation, and in the face of possible crises, the stronger the strength, the better.

Carrying the small box he had given when he bought the Qi and Blood Pill, he ordered Jiuqiu to return to his cultivation room.

His messenger, Wang Anning, was waiting at the door.

Seeing Ling Jiuqiu come back, he immediately excitedly pulled him into the cultivation room and closed the door.

"Brother Chiyan, congratulations! From today onwards, you are already a one-star fighter in the Bafang Martial Arts Arena. ”

Wang Anning took out a medal and handed it over.

The medal is round, gray and white, with a red star tattooed in the middle, and the word Chiyan tattooed on the bottom, the style is very ordinary.

But in fact, it was cut from the skin of a fierce beast called the Iron Armored Monitor Lizard, and it was extremely tough, and an ordinary mid-stage True Qi Realm martial artist might not be able to destroy it even if he attacked with all his strength.

Not to mention that this is a symbol of honor.

Every star fighter is an existence that ordinary people look up to in the outside world, not to mention anything else, the income they get from a battle is equivalent to the income of an ordinary family for more than ten years.

Of course.

The higher the income, the higher the risk of death.

Ling Jiuqiu took the medal and put it on his chest.

"I'll help me apply for a truce later, after a series of battles recently, I can't bear it anymore, and I need to recuperate for a while."

"It's good to take a break."

Wang Anning nodded, and said bitterly: "It's just that you try not to break through at this time, it's not easy to become a star fighter, and then it's a good time to make a lot of money in the primary field, once you break through, you can only enter the intermediate field and start from scratch." ”

Ling Jiuqiu shook his head: "I have my own measure. ”

He had already decided to break through and purchased the Qi and Blood Pill, so it was naturally impossible to listen to the other party.

Wang Anning opened his mouth.

Originally, he just casually admonished, but it could be seen that Ling Jiuqiu's reaction seemed to be really ready to break through his cultivation.

He was about to persuade a few more words, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words back, and said helplessly: "It's okay, break through as soon as possible, maybe you can go to the intermediate field as soon as possible to make more money." ”

After he left, Ling Jiuqiu opened the small wooden box.

took out a bottle of Qi and Blood Pill and poured it all into the mouth of the Spirit Swallowing Python, and a steady stream of heat poured into all parts of the body.

The Tiger Demon Body Refining Fist unfolded, speeding up the fusion of the heat flow and his body, making his body stronger little by little, and his true qi becoming thicker little by little.

The digestion speed of the Xuan-level mid-grade Spirit Devouring Python is several times stronger than the original, which also means that the cultivation speed has increased several times.

According to Ling Jiuqiu's estimate, his current cultivation speed is at least ten times faster than that of ordinary martial artists.
