Chapter 17: Away from the Wind Island
Bai Cangdong once again refused to become the knight of Lady Red Lotus, and Lady Red Lotus's face suddenly became a little stiff.
"In that case, ask for your own blessings. Lady Red Lotus got up and wanted to leave.
"Madame, please don't be angry, I have a few questions for Madame. Bai Cangdong said solemnly.
Madam Red Lotus hesitated for a moment, then stopped and looked at Bai Cangdong.
"When will Madame be promoted to Earl?" Bai Cangdong asked in a calm tone.
"Isn't it easy to be promoted to earl, I have counted the earls who have come out of Daolun City with one pair of hands, although I have the confidence to become an earl, but I must be fully prepared, I am afraid that there is no hope within ten years, and it may be achieved within twenty years, and at most no more than thirty years, this lady will definitely become an earl." Lady Red Lotus looked at Bai Cangdong suspiciously, not knowing why he was asking this.
Bai Cangdong didn't respond to her doubts, and continued to ask, "When will the lady be promoted to marquis again?"
"Daolun City has never had a marquis, and although Red Lotus is conceited, she doesn't dare to say that she will definitely be able to become a marquis. Lady Red Lotus looked at Bai Cangdong and said, "What do you mean by asking?"
"Madame, my goal is not just the Count. Bai Cangdong said lightly.
Madame Honglian didn't know whether she was laughing angrily, or if she was really amused by Bai Cangdong, and her laughter trembled: "Even the earl can't look down on it, no wonder he refuses to be my knight, he has ambition and ideals." β
"That's my goal, it's also my ideal, I won't give up, so please forgive me, Madame, I can't become your knight, but if Madame has any orders, I will definitely do my best." Bai Cangdong said.
Lady Red Lotus said: "It's good to have ambitions, but do you know why the vast majority of people can't become an earl in their lifetime, or even get the title of viscount?"
"The difference in strength between each title is huge, and the challenge of leapfrogging is too difficult, which is why the title is so difficult to obtain. Bai Cangdong said.
"You're only half right, the difference in strength between each title is indeed huge, and this gap needs many things to be smoothed, such as armament, such as the help of friends of the same level, and most importantly, ...... Martial arts. β
"Martial arts?" Bai Cangdong looked at Madam Red Lotus with some puzzlement, he knew that martial arts were very important, but they were not important enough to affect the promotion of the title.
"Yes, do you know where the martial arts come from?" asked Lady Red Lotus.
"Uh!" Bai Cangdong really didn't know where the martial arts came from.
"Most people don't know that martial arts, like armament, come from the undead, the difference is that the armament comes from the undead themselves, while the martial arts come from the altar of the undead, and if you break the immortal crystal, it is possible to obtain martial arts, but it is not necessarily available, you can imagine how rare martial arts are. Fortunately, many martial arts can be learned by themselves, and they are not only enjoyed by one person like the title, and the martial arts we learn now are all obtained by the predecessors by breaking the immortal crystal. β
"Longevity is also a kind of martial arts, and it is the most important one, with longevity, you can promote the growth of the life chart, otherwise the power of the life chart is immutable, and the power of other martial arts is based on the life chart. If your natal chart is strong enough, your martial arts are strong enough, and it is not as difficult as imagined to kill the undead, but it is a pity that martial arts are difficult to find, and super high-level martial arts are rarer, when you are at the baron level, there are many martial arts to choose from, but when you reach the viscount level, the optional martial arts will be reduced by a hundred times and thousands of times, and when you reach the earl level, do you know that Earl Daolun has several earl-level martial arts?"
Bai Cangdong continued to shake his head, and at the same time looked very curiously at Lady Red Lotus waiting for her answer.
"One, my brother has been an earl for so many years, and until now, there will only be one earl-level martial art, or just the most ordinary bronze martial art, do you think it is possible for him to defeat the marquis-level undead with this bronze martial art?"
After listening to what Mrs. Red Lotus said, Bai Cangdong was not only not afraid, but was a little surprised, martial arts are so rare, but his sword box can absorb weapons and evolve into martial arts, judging from the performance of the first two times of the sword box, what level of weapons can be absorbed to evolve the same level of martial arts, doesn't this mean that he doesn't have to worry about martial arts in the future, after all, the acquisition of weapons is much easier than martial arts.
He had been born for so long, and he had only seen the Immortal Altar once, and there was no martial art left on that altar, so it was too difficult to obtain a martial art like this.
Seeing that Bai Cangdong was not frightened by the difficulties, but showed a look of joy, Lady Red Lotus said strangely: "I don't know if you are a madman or a fool, forget it, since you have such a goal, I will not force you to be my knight, and after you encounter many setbacks in the future, you will naturally know how naΓ―ve your current thoughts are." β
"Thank you, Madame, for your understanding. β
"You don't want to be my knight, but you can help me do it, are you willing to help me?" said Lady Red Lotus with a smile on her face.
"Do as you are told. Bai Cangdong was still counting on Madam Honglian to save him, so naturally he couldn't refuse.
"Very good, then Mrs. Ben will rest assured, you can rest well, Mrs. Ben will not bother you. Lady Red Lotus got up and wanted to leave.
"Madam......" Bai Cangdong was still waiting for Mrs. Honglian to tell him how to break the crisis of "Five Separation Fingers", but who knew that Mrs. Honglian was about to leave without saying anything.
Seeing Bai Cangdong's anxious look, Madam Red Lotus couldn't help but laugh: "You are a person, sometimes you are very bold, like a madman and a fool who doesn't care about your life, and sometimes you are timid and afraid of death. β
"Don't worry, Mrs. Ben's brother is not a vicious person, didn't he promise to give you an immortal technique? That immortal technique is the method of health preservation and return to the element, after you use the "Five Separation Fingers", you only need to practice that immortal technique, and after ten days and half a month, you can recover as before, and it will not exceed one month at most. After thinking about it, Mrs. Honglian took out a delicate small jade bottle and put it on the bedside: "Since you promised to do things for Mrs. Ben, Mrs. Ben can't say nothing, this bottle is a jade essence pill, which can replenish spiritual energy, after you use the North Departure Finger, if you encounter any danger, you only need to take the jade essence pill, and it will recover immediately, but this pill is precious, if you don't encounter danger, you still practice the immortal technique to recover slowly, don't waste the jade essence pill." β
"Thank you, ma'am. Bai Cangdong cautiously put away the jade essence pill close to his body.
When Bai Cangdong raised his head again, he found that the Red Lotus Fu next to him had quietly left without knowing when, and he didn't feel it at all.
"The viscount is really still much stronger than the baron, when he was in the carriage, I don't know how much real strength Madame Red Lotus used!" Bai Cangdong was secretly horrified, if Madam Red Lotus really wanted to kill him, and gave him a knife in the back so quietly, he probably didn't even know how he died.
However, thinking that Madam Red Lotus actually wanted him to pretend to be a masked baron, the corners of Bai Cangdong's mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly, revealing a weird smile.
Early the next morning, the five Bai Cangdong were called to the courtyard by the silver-armored knight to inspect the five people's cultivation of the "Five Separation Fingers".
The result made the silver-armored knight very satisfied, the five people have all successfully cultivated, the difference is only experience, and these are not what the silver-armored knight needs, as long as the five people can play the "Five Separation Fingers", gather five forces on Li Xiangfei, and kill the viscount-level undead.
"This is the immortality technique promised to you, and you should keep it in mind now, and it will be useful when the time comes. The silver-armored knight took a book of immortality and put it in front of the five people and said.
Bai Cangdong and the others didn't say anything, they looked through the book of immortality together, and kept it in their hearts.
"This trip to Lifeng Island will cause trouble for five people. On the huge three-sailed boat, Li Xiangfei stood at the bow of the boat, caressed by the wind with a white gauze skirt, and her long black hair fluttering together.
"Miss Xiangfei is so polite, this is what we should do. Li Xifeng said with a spring breeze on his face.
The silver-armored knight said lukewarmly: "Lifeng Island is a place carefully selected by Lord Earl, there are only about a hundred baron-level undead on the island, and one viscount-level undead, and those undead live alone, they rarely gather together, you should be able to deal with it easily, in order to ensure that Miss Xiangfei is promoted to viscount, so I can't make a move, everything has to be solved by yourself." β
"Lord Silver-Armored Knight, I don't know what kind of undead clan is on that island, and what are its characteristics and weaknesses?" asked Bai Cangdong.
The silver-armored knight glanced at him approvingly, and said: "It is a kind of undead clan called the wind spirit, the speed is not fast, and the body is quite fragile, the only troublesome thing is that the wind spirit can heal itself in the wind, and the island will blow a kind of wind, the wind spirit in the wind is difficult to kill, you must wait for the wind to stop, and then hunt the wind spirit." β
"The wind on the island comes from nowhere, it is born from the island and extinguished from the island, it will never leak a single bit, there are eleven hours a day, the wind will blow every corner of the island, so you must kill the viscount-level wind spirit within the hour when the wind stops, otherwise when the wind rises again, you will no longer have any chance. β
After more than two days of sailing, everyone saw a small black island appear on the sea level from a distance, and although it was still some distance, they could already hear a strange whining sound coming from the island, as if the devil was crying in secret.
