Chapter 37: The World of Heaven
"There are even entanglements of interests among them? It seems that the Seven Clans are not the monolith I imagined, I am afraid that eating alone and saving oneself is the norm. If one day someone can organize the seven clans into one heart, at that time, even if the orcs come to attack, they will have the strength to fight. Chu Hatli thought to himself in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little distracted.
Seeing him hesitate, Zhao Cong paused before saying, "If Brother Chu doesn't want to offend people, we won't force it." ”
Hearing this, Chu Qili reacted and explained: "Since I agreed, I will naturally do my best, and Brother Zhao Cong doesn't have to worry." But I'd like to hear where your dispute is?"
After receiving Chu Hatli's affirmative reply, Zhao Cong seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and explained the original committee one by one: "As the venue of the event, in this Imperial Spirit Master Competition, the Zhao family has gained too many benefits: the rewards of the imperial city, the overtures of large tribes, and the prosperity of the market...... All these benefits have driven the tribes of all ethnic groups to try in vain to take their place!"
"In addition, in the past few years, our Zhao clan has not been able to provide enough excellent spirit masters, and the imperial city has some opinions about us. So in this competition, the Han clan deliberately proposed to the envoy of the imperial city to change the location of the Imperial Spirit Master Competition. Speaking of this, Zhao Cong's tone was also a little resentful.
Chu Qili listened to him quietly, these things were not much different from what he expected. The Zhao tribe has been studying the method of imperial spirit all year round, and the source qi cultivation of the clansmen must be a few points weaker than that of other tribes, if they lose the protection of the imperial city, they must have ended up quite miserable. If it weren't for this moment of survival, it is estimated that they would not be begging for themselves so lowly.
Nodding, Chu Qili had already understood the general idea, but asked rhetorically: "So the Zhao tribe found me in order to prove that they are qualified to continue to be the venue of the competition." But what happens after that? You can't always leave your fate in the hands of someone else, right?"
Zhao Cong replied slowly: "After that, it's up to the group of young people." It's not just us, the Zhao clan, all tribes are the same, hope will always be in the young people! What we can do is to drag out time for them to grow up. ”
The soaring eagle fights in the sky, just to protect the pure land behind them. Such a picture couldn't help but come to mind, Chu Qili nodded, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I will do my best to complete the second-order elixir of the Imperial Spirit, and I should also repay Chief Zhao Gao for allowing me to enter the Library Pavilion!"
Seeing that Chu Qili directly put the two sides in an equal and reciprocal position, and did not use this to blackmail anything, Zhao Cong was even more moved, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Chu doesn't have to shirk, we will definitely repay this kindness!"
Chu Heli didn't have the intention of taking advantage of the fire to rob at all, so he no longer spent his tongue in this regard, and said with a shy smile: "I really have a reluctant request, I don't know if I can stay in this library tonight and continue to study the growth case?" Brother Zhao just rest assured to go back and rest, I only stay on the second floor, and I will never involve the forbidden land. ”
"Brother Chu said with a smile, I naturally rest assured that you are a person. It's just that the study and memorization of the growth case are extremely mentally energy-consuming processes, and you have been studying all day, do you really need to rest and rest?" Zhao Cong's face was full of disbelief, such a person who studied the growth case with high intensity, he was still the only one in his life.
"Maybe I'm more adaptable, or maybe I'm curious. Chu Heli smiled, with a posture of not leaving here. Zhao Cong, who really couldn't survive Chu Hatred, had to acquiesce and leave alone. He had also seen a lot of growth cases, and the large consumption of mental power made him very eager to sleep, and he had to explain everything that happened today to the chief.
Staying alone in this library pavilion, Chu Qili continued to study hard, and when he felt that the consumption of spiritual power was too great, he ran the "Ten Thousand Ancient Society Jilu" to supplement, this magical source method was the reliance on him who dared to squeeze his spiritual power crazily.
Studying the growth case and operating the source method, so repeatedly, Chu Hatli had no sleep all night.
The next day, Brother Zhao Cong did not come to look for him, but Zhao Gao, the chief of the Zhao tribe, personally came to the second floor of the Library Pavilion. At this time, Chu Qili was already tired, and greeted him with thick dark circles under his eyes.
Zhao Gao saw this young man working so hard, and couldn't help but recall his experience when he was young, but he was much worse than him back then. Zhao Gao didn't know where to take out a green leaf, handed it to Chu Qili and explained: "This is a god-nourishing herb, although it is not high-level in the second-order elixir, it is very effective in replenishing spiritual power and relieving the fatigue of the body. ”
Chu Hatli, who continued to consume a lot of mental energy, did not refuse the other party's kindness, and reached out to take it with some difficulty, and thanked him: "Thank you Chief Zhao for your kindness, then I will be disrespectful." After speaking, he took the palm-sized emerald green leaf, the elixir leaf was very thick, the juice was sufficient, and after taking it, he chewed it gently, like a puddle of water in his mouth, swallowed it, Chu Hate sat down from the plate, and slowly ran the source method to absorb the medicinal power.
When Chu Qili opened his eyes again, the sunlight shone in through the window, which was quite dazzling, and it was already noon. Looking up, he saw that Chief Zhao Gao was still standing aside and waiting, and Chu Qili was also a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Chu was out of the cultivation state, Zhao Gao took the lead in asking, "Chu Xiaoyou is awake, how do you feel..."
Chu Qili, who stood up, bowed slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you Chief Zhao for the gift, I feel that the fatigue in my body has completely disappeared, and my state has returned to its peak." ”
"Okay, it's good to recover!" Zhao Gao nodded, his face was solemn, and he said seriously: "I want to take Chu Xiaoyou to see something, I don't know if Xiaoyou has a fate with it." Hearing these words, Chu Qili hurriedly excused himself and said, "Chief Zhao really doesn't have to give me any treasures, I already feel that I have gained a lot to study the growth case here." Besides, I haven't been able to help the Zhao tribe tide over the difficulties. ”
Zhao Gao shook his head and explained: "It's not a gift, it's just an opportunity, if you have a relationship with it, you can take it with you." If not, the Zhao tribe will have to continue to wait for the destined person, and the generations will be endless, and I don't know when I will have to wait until ......."
Such a strange thing also aroused Chu Qili's curiosity, "Then I will dare to go with Chief Zhao and see what kind of treasure can make Chief Zhao so troubled." ”
"This thing is on the third floor, Chu Xiaoyou, please come with me. Saying that, Zhao Gao walked up to the third floor, and Chu Qili followed.
Walking up to the third floor, Chu Qili clearly felt that the specifications of this floor were much smaller than the two floors below, with only three rooms. But the protection facilities in each room were very complete, and Zhao Gao walked to a door and took out a tedious brass key, which opened the thick metal door.
The heavy door was pushed open, and a burst of life came to his face, just by breathing, Chu Qili felt that he was a little more energetic. Following Chief Zhao into it, Chu Heli saw that there were spiritual soils all over the ground around him, each of which was wrapped in a curling white mist, and various colors were faintly revealed in the white mist. It was seventy or eighty percent similar to the pink spiritual soil that Chu Qili had seen on Zhao Rou's hand before.
However, those spiritual soils didn't attract much of Chu Qili's attention. However, a seemingly ordinary loess was placed in the center, as if it was exuding a mysterious attraction, attracting the soul to Chu Hatli's mind. "What is this?" Chu Qili muttered.
"This is the Zhao tribe's spiritual soil cultivation base, and our spiritual soil all comes from here. Zhao Gao explained, and said with a smile, "Chu Xiaoyou, do you want to choose one, I think last time Xiaoyou violently dug up a piece of ordinary loess imperial spirit." ”
"I'm talking about that one. Chu Geli's face sank like water, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to the seemingly most ordinary yellow soil in the middle, which looked no different from the one Chu Geli had dug next to the competition field.
As Chu Hatli looked in the direction of his finger, the relaxed expression on Zhao Gao's face faded, and he said solemnly: "Chu Xiaoyou is really vicious, and it only took one glance to see the most precious spiritual soil in this room. Chu Qili immediately shook his head and denied: "It's not that I have a good eye, but it's calling me, and it's the ...... that it took the initiative to attract my attention."
In this way, most others will only laugh at it, although the spirit soil is crowned with the word "spirit", but after all, it is just soil, how can it be possible to take the initiative to call. But Zhao Gao couldn't laugh, because he knew that it might be true.
Zhao Gao slowly opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder if Xiaoyou has ever heard of the 'Heavenly List'?"
