The excitement in Lin Chen's heart was beyond words, and he carefully refilled the teacup that had bottomed out in front of Lu Xiao with tea, and he wanted to ask Lu Xiao impatiently, where was the place he was talking about now.

"Young man, don't worry, although your sister is in a special situation, it is not life-threatening, and there are some things that the old man still needs to confirm, so this matter has to be done slowly", Lu Xiao looked at Lin Chen, who was a little anxious, and said with a smile.

Lu Xiao's words seemed to have an inexplicable magic power, and after Lin Chen heard it, it was as if a warm wind was blowing in his heart, and under the effect of this warm wind, his whole person calmed down.

At this time, he also realized that he had lost his sense of proportion because he was too excited, so he took a few deep breaths, then looked at Lu Xiao with some embarrassment, and arched his hand and said: "What the seniors said is that this matter is just about Zi'er's life, and the kid is excited for a while, and it is inevitable that he will be a little out of shape, but it makes the seniors laugh."

"These are human nature, if you can behave like this, you must be a good brother, there is no doubt that there is nothing to laugh at, and the young man is still the same as Xiaohong and them, call the old man I know the old man, always call me a half-dead old man as a senior, the old man I listen to it is also awkward", Lu Xiao looked at Lin Chen's embarrassed appearance, and said with some embarrassment.

Lin Chen didn't care about this, after all, he had a request for others, so he seemed much closer, so he said respectfully: "Since Elder Xiao said so, the kid might as well be respectful, but I also hope that Elder Xiao will tell the boy, where is the place you are talking about?

It's just that Lu Xiao didn't answer Lin Chen's inquiry, but instead changed his words, looked at Lin Chen with surprise, and said: "Lin Xiaoyou, I just heard Lu Hong and them say that your strength is very good, if it weren't for you yesterday, they would have suffered a loss this time, you can fight with the leader of that group of soul apes for a pillar of incense and not fall behind, yes or no?"

Although Lin Chen didn't know why Lu Xiao asked like this, he didn't hide it, these were inconsequential things, they were just a part of his strength, and his strength was not completely exposed at the moment.

What's more, the situation at that time was seen by Lu Hong and his party, and since Lu Xiao already knew it from them, it didn't make any sense for him to hide it, and it wouldn't cause Lu Xiao's displeasure.

Therefore, in Lu Xiaoman's interested eyes, Lin Chen said calmly: "The kid did fight with the soul crying ape that Xiao Lao said, although he didn't have the upper hand, but there was no winner or loser between them, but I don't know what this matter has to do with what Xiao Lao said."

Lu Xiao looked at Lin Chen, whose face was calm, the light in his eyes became more and more brilliant, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lin Xiaoyou's strength to be able to fight with the Soul Crying Ape for so long, I think Lin Xiaoyou's strength is probably far more than that, it should be above the leader of the Soul Crying Ape, so you didn't use all your strength at that time, I don't know if I'm right, old man?"

Under Lu Xiao's bright eyes, Lin Chen's heart felt an inexplicable pressure appear, as if everything about himself was seen through by him, and he couldn't help but be a little frightened.

Seeing that Lin Chen was speechless for a while, Lu Xiao seemed to have gotten what he wanted to know, and muttered: "In this way, Lin Xiaoyou's strength is enough."

Lin Chen frowned, then relaxed, thought of a certain meaning in Lu Xiao's words, and then said in surprise: "Xiao Lao is wise, it's just that the kid's strength is not intentionally concealed, and I ask Xiao Lao to forgive me, just listen to the meaning of Xiao Xiao's old words, could it be that the kid's strength is one of the conditions in the agreement that Miss Jinxuan said?"

Although Lin Chen noticed it, Lu Xiao seemed to have expected this step, so he smiled and said: "Lin Xiaoyou is not only amazingly powerful, but also has such a keen mind that far surpasses ordinary people, it seems that this time the agreement can be completed."

Now Lin Chen was curious about what the agreement Lu Xiao was talking about, but now he only knew from Lu Xiao's mouth, he already knew three things.

First, if you want to complete this so-called agreement, you need to have extraordinary strength on the part of the participants, and based on your own strength when you fought with the Soul Ape, you need at least the strength of the early stage of the innate stage, and only in this way can this condition be met.

The second is that you need to have an agile mind, that is to say, a smart brain, but Lin Chen prefers to use understanding to describe this.

As for the third point, from Lu Xiao's words, Lin Chen deduced that this agreement must be related to the younger generation, and the biggest possibility is to fight.

However, this is just an inference of Lin Chen, whether it is or not still needs to be confirmed by Lu Xiao himself.

It's just that for the second point, Lin Chen still has some questions, and he didn't figure out what it means for a while, but just these messages are already of great use to Lin Chen.

But at this time, Lu Xiao, who was full of smiles, seemed to remember something, and looked at Lin Chen's eyes with obvious shock, so he asked slowly, "Lin Xiaoyou, old man, I want to ask you, in the battle with the Soul Crying Ape, did you hear a kind of cry coming from its mouth? What do you think of the cry coming out of its mouth?"

Lin Chen didn't notice Lu Xiao's shock at this time, because he was still stuck in the three conditions that Lu Xiao said, so after hearing Lu Xiao's inquiry, he almost blurted out: "Xiao always said that kind of strange cry?" Although I don't know what unknown mysteries exist in it, when fighting with the Soul Ape, after every cry it makes, the kid will indeed feel a little sleepy, but fortunately, this effect is not large, and the time will not be too long, it will only appear for a moment, so as long as you pay attention to it, it is estimated that there will be no problem in the battle."

Lin Chen didn't react until after he finished speaking, Lu Xiao's tone of inquiry changed significantly, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "What's the matter, Xiao Lao, isn't this a normal thing?"

Lu Xiao was speechless for a while, shook his head and said, "Maybe it's normal for you, but for all the cultivators in Lujia Village, it's not normal."

Lu Xiao didn't stop, looking at Lin Chen, who was still very confused, and said with a wry smile: "Do you know why the soul crying ape has the word soul crying?"

Lin Chen didn't think about this, and hurriedly said: "The kid really doesn't know, and I ask Xiao Lao to solve the kid's doubts."

Lu Xiao didn't hesitate and continued to speak: "The reason why they are called soul cries is because they have a strange crying sound, which will directly act on the soul of the cultivator, thus causing the soul of the cultivator to fall into a short sleep."

Lin Chen felt a burst of shock, a person's soul is extremely mysterious, and no one can say the mystery contained in it.

He didn't expect that there was such a strange species here now, which could directly affect the soul of the cultivator, which seemed a little incredible, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there is nothing strange in the world.

But then I also thought about why I always felt a little sleepy under the cry of the soul ape leader when I was fighting with it, and it turned out that this was the reason.

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, this kind of soul crying ape cry is an invincible existence in the same realm, even if it is a person whose cultivation is higher than them, it will be affected to varying degrees and fall into a deep sleep, so in our agreement between Lujia Village and them, it has long been explicitly forbidden for them not to use this trick.

It's just that what I didn't expect from the old man was that you could actually force it to this extent in a frontal battle, but what I didn't expect was that you weren't affected much, which is simply incredible", Lu Xiao's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Lin Chen and said excitedly.

"Elder Xiao, please don't be so excited, be careful of your body", Lin Chen hurriedly stood up and said to Lu Xiao, who was about to stand up.

"Hmph, you still know that let my grandfather pay attention to his body, then you should understand how important those medicinal materials are to my grandfather", Lu Jinxuan's dissatisfied voice came from outside the door, and she noticed Lu Xiao's changes, and she quickly ran in and hurriedly helped Lu Xiao up.

"Jinxuan, are you eavesdropping outside again?", Lu Xiao frowned, looked at Lu Jinxuan who was standing on the side and said.

Lu Jinxuan didn't mean to hide it, but there was inevitably a lack of confidence in his tone, pointing to Lin Chen, who was standing opposite her, and said: "Grandpa, where is Jinxuan eavesdropping, you can only blame this guy, the voice is so loud, even if it is Uncle Lu Hong in the village, they can hear it, how can they blame me."

Lu Xiao obviously knew Lu Jinxuan's temperament very well, so he could only say helplessly: "Alas, you kid, when will this habit be changed?"

turned to apologize to Lin Chen: "Don't blame Lin Xiaoyou, Jinxuan is like this, but there are some things I still need to ask a little bit more clearly, so let's talk about the business."

Then he looked at Lu Jinxuan and said solemnly: "Jinxuan, if you want to listen, just sit on the side and listen, but there is one thing you have to promise your grandfather, don't be unreasonable."

Lu Jinxuan's face was a little aggrieved, Lu Xiao reached out and touched her head when he saw this, but the corner of Lu Jinxuan's eyes suddenly glanced at the direction where Lin Chen was, he didn't expect that Lu Xiao would still treat her as a child in front of outsiders, and he blushed a little for a while, hurriedly got rid of Lu Xiao's hand, and sat aside a little unnaturally.

Seeing this, Lu Xiao smiled slightly on the old man's face, then sat down and continued to speak: "Listening to what Lin Xiaoyou said just now, I still have a question in my heart, old man, I don't know if Lin Xiaoyou has ever studied alchemy, and how much do you know about alchemy?"

Lin Chen looked at Lu Xiao in front of him, and then at Lu Jinxuan who was sitting on his right, and was about to open his mouth to answer Lu Xiao's question, but when he retracted his gaze, he was suddenly glared at by Lu Jinxuan fiercely.

Seeing this, Lin Chen only smiled slightly, and didn't care, but he also felt something in his heart, this is the family relationship that family members should have.

Just like him and Lin Zi'er, the brother and sister have depended on each other since childhood and have gone through many difficulties together, in his heart, as long as it is to save Lin Zi'er, he can do anything.

Then he calmed his mind slightly, Lin Chen turned his mind back to Lu Xiao's question, and asked with some doubts: "Old Xiao, is this also one of the conditions in the agreement that Miss Jinxuan said?"

Lu Xiao smiled slightly, looked at Lu Jinxuan who was on the side and wanted to speak, and said with a smile: "Well, that's right, Lin Xiaoyou is really smart, this is indeed one of the conditions for completing this agreement, but you don't need to worry, even if you haven't been in contact with alchemy, it's not a big deal, with Jinxuan, this girl, as long as the two of you cooperate with each other, there will definitely be no problem."
