Chapter 268: Secret Conversation (Part II)
Seeing that a cultivation genius was about to fall, but he was powerless to save it, Li Xing's mood was very heavy.
Li Xing's gloomy expression stung Chu Yunyi's eyes, and in order to break the silence, he took the initiative to speak: "Ah Xing, don't be embarrassed, you boldly say, how long can I live?" β
Chu Yunyi's words didn't shock Li Xing much, she had long known that even if it was an innate holy body that had not been fully activated by the heavenly thunder, it was very human and could perceive her limit.
If this happened to someone else, Li Xing would never tell the truth, after all, few people could accept that they were about to face death in their early twenties.
But Chu Yunyi is different, although Li Xing has only been in contact with him for a short time, she knows that Chu Yunyi is the same kind of person as her, calm and rational.
If her life reaches the point where it cannot be saved, instead of running out of life in ignorance, it is better to plan the rest of her time, enjoy the rest of her life as much as possible, and leave fewer regrets. Comparing hearts to hearts, Chu Yunyi probably thought the same way, so Li Xing asked him to talk secretly.
"Half a year."
"It's only half a year, it's a pity." Chu Yunyi said that it was a pity, but his tone did not have a trace of pessimism, as calm and natural as talking about the weather.
"Ah Xing, if only I had met you earlier."
"Indeed, it would have been nice to meet sooner."
Li Xing raised his dark eyes, and looked at the purple in front of him, and the two eyes met in the quiet room, calm and sincere.
Chu Yunyi's illness is to put it bluntly, his body can't bear the excessively strong spiritual power, as long as he can improve his physique, he doesn't have to die.
This kind of change is beyond the reach of any medicine, except for the Heavenly Thunder Quenching Body, there is only the same cultivation of the Eternal Immortal Secret as her.
It's a pity that Chu Yunyi has long passed the bone age of the exercise limit, and Li Xing has no other better body refining exercises for him, so he can only regretfully let him wither.
"I can't save you, but I'll do my best to prolong your life."
"Thank you."
"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? If you need help, just ask. β
"Unfulfilled wishes?" Chu Yunyi cast his eyes out the window for the first time, and the well-tended garden was as beautiful as a picture under the reflection of the sunset.
"My greatest wish is to find my sister and send her and her mother to live in a peaceful and peaceful place. But I almost searched the Qianyuan Continent, but I didn't find any clues about Yunyou. Maybe they're right, Yun You is really dead, and there is no need to waste any more energy. β
Chu Yunyi retracted his gaze and looked at Li Xing seriously with a pair of purple eyes.
"I am not worried about the future of the Chu family at all, and my father will not be sad about my death, he will soon choose a new heir from among the concubines."
"I can't rest assured that my mother is the only one. Ah Xing, if it's not troublesome, please visit her often. β
Li Xing nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will take care of Aunt Lan." β
Li Xing thought that Chu Yunyi still had something to explain, but he started to make tea as if nothing had happened.
"Gone? What you said is about your relatives, about the arrangement of your family, what about yourself, what do you want? Don't you have something you really want to do? β
Chu Yunyi's hand pouring tea suddenly stopped, and only after three breaths did he laugh lightly: "I don't know, I don't seem to lack anything, so I've never thought about this problem." β
At this moment, Li Xing really couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart, maybe it was sympathy, or pity, anyway, his chest was stuffy and uncomfortable.
If you want to say that Chu Yunyi is pitiful, he is the son-in-law of the first family of Qianyuan, with fine clothes and jade food, calling for wind and rain, and he has never worried about money.
But to say that he is happy and very far-fetched, he has not experienced a few years of normal family affection, he has to protect his stupid mother at a young age, look for his missing sister, and even lose himself alive.
"Brother Chu, you can't use your mental power anymore, I have some medicine here that can relieve your discomfort, you remember to take it on time."
Li Xing took out three porcelain vases and pushed them in front of Chu Yunyi. Chu Yunyi was not polite, uncorked the bottle and poured out a pill, the familiar medicinal fragrance made him look at Li Xing suspiciously.
"Do you think the smell is familiar?"
Chu Yunyi nodded, very similar to the taste of the Returning God Drink.
"This is a creation pill made according to Master Ning's Returning to the Gods, which has the effect of calming the mind and breaking the demons. Your current situation is not easy to repair the spiritual sea, and the Creation Pill is more suitable than the Returning God Drink. β
Chu Yunyi said: "Do you know the prescription for returning to the gods? β
Li Xing nodded: "Master Ning gave it to me at the cost of letting me accompany Aunt Lan more." β
Chu Yunyi was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "He has a heart." Then he solemnly put the medicine bottle away.
"Brother Chu, the three-eyed insects I mentioned to you in the encrypted channel, this time the beast tide has also appeared, and there are quite a few of them."
"It seems that the Zhuxian Sect is going to make trouble."
"That's right. Although the transparent monster has never appeared again, I don't think it has given up on you, but is just looking for the best time to start. You have been living with Elder Chu recently, and I can rest assured that he and a group of tower guards will protect you. β
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
ββββββββ
"No! I disagree! β
Chu Baili flipped the table and was furious, but Chu Yunyi, who was sitting opposite him, was not shocked at all, and looked back calmly.
"Ancestor, don't be angry."
"IβCan I not be angry!" If it weren't for Chu Yunyi's injury to the spiritual sea, he would have wanted to lift this room.
"You want to be a tower keeper, you can't go crazy!"
Chu Yunyi: "Old Ancestor, before you were promoted to the Great Elder, you were also a tower keeper who voluntarily entered the tower, and so did the Ninth Uncle Ancestor. You can do it, why can't I? β
"Fart!" Chu Baili was so angry that his beard pouted. "Can you be like us? When we both entered the tower, our grandchildren were in the reserves, how old were you? Are you married? β
Chu Baili saw that Chu Yunyi still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, and he was really angry and hateful.
"Do you know what's under the Tower of Babel?"
Chu Yunyi shook his head: "My grandson doesn't know." β
Chu Baili sighed: "Today's events shouldn't have been known to you, but if I don't make it clear, you will definitely go your own way with your temper, so I will simply tell you." β
"There is a remnant array under the Tower of Babel, which is the gateway to the other worlds of the Gu Qian Metaverse. Because of the catastrophe that destroyed the world 10,000 years ago, the Great Array was destroyed, and the Qianyuan Realm lost contact with other worlds and became a lonely boat in the Hanhai Sea. β
"The thirty-six sages ordered us and other Qianyuan people to build the Tower of Babel on the site of the Great Array, and use the tower body to protect the remnants of the array below."
"Yunyi, the mission of the tower keeper is not only to guard and clean the Tower of Babel, the most important thing is to use the Yuan Spirit and the essence blood generation to nourish and repair the large array guarding the tower under the tower. Being a tower keeper is equivalent to putting your life into it, don't you understand? β
There was a deep furrow in Chu Baili's eyebrows, and his expression was tired.
"The Chu family can stand out among many families, and it has survived thousands of years of ups and downs, in addition to the painstaking management of the Chu family's successive heads and clansmen, the reward and maintenance of the Elders' House is also an important factor."
"There are tens of thousands of Qianyuan families, why do you favor my Chu family alone, it's not because the Chu family will contribute a peerless genius to the tower every hundred years, be a tower guard, and repair the remnants with Yuan Ling and essence blood!"
