Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ring of Mystery
Impossible, Li Mutian shook his head secretly, he was a thunder spirit vein talent, and it stands to reason that it would not be easy to awaken the five elements spirit veins in his body.
However, in this unusual spiritual vein, there was not the slightest breath of thunder and lightning contained in it, but a fluctuation of the power of water could be vaguely felt.
How could the system of the Thunder Spirit Vein awaken the Water Spirit Vein so easily?
"You have broken through the Earth Spirit Realm, and because of the trace of the law of water contained in the Heavenly Spirit Stone Milk, you have awakened the water spirit vein. ”
At this moment, Li Mutian's ears came from the words of the rickety old man answering questions.
"Ahh
Li Mutian's mouth suddenly opened wide, and the color of ecstasy flew up his eyebrows, but he still looked incredulous.
"Besides, look at what you have on your hands?"
Li Mutian looked down at his hand, and saw that there was a strange silver ring on his left index finger, but there was no pattern, to be exact, it should be a dark silver metal ring.
Li Mutian's cheeks turned red, his heart was pounding, and his hands were trembling slightly.
At this moment, he immediately thought of the ancient space ring, and also thought of the mysterious system with great power in the legend, or the cheat that could help him cultivate.
Li Tian's face turned ecstatic: "Senior, what kind of invincible system is this ring, or is it a cheat that can assist in cultivation?"
The rickety old man looked at the excited young man with a black line on his face: "It's nothing, and I don't know what this silver ring is." ”
Li Mutian observed carefully, and saw that the rickety old man was not a joke, and his face suddenly sank: "Then what's the use of this?"
The rickety old man looked at memories: "This ring was originally obtained by me from an extraterrestrial meteor, when the meteor sank to the bottom of the sea, but I took a lot of effort to dive into the deep sea and get this ring from a strangely shaped remains. ”
Li Mutian was a little anxious: "It doesn't matter how it came about, I just want to know what this ring is for?"
The rickety old man smiled awkwardly: "I have obtained this thing for so many years, I have tried many methods, but it has no response, since then, I have sent it to many disciples, but they have all returned to Zhao, no one knows what it is for." ”
Unexpectedly, his hopes would be dashed so quickly, Li Mutian let out a long sigh: "To put it simply, this ring is a waste that no one wants?"
The rickety old man's face turned red: "I can't say that, I remember that once when there was a violent storm, lightning and thunder, this thing actually had a slight fluctuation, so I guess that you have a thunder spirit vein, and you may be able to discover the secret of this silver ring." ”
"I've kept it with me for so many years, and I have this mysterious ring all over my body except for my natal flying sword, so I'm sure this thing is anything extraordinary. ”
Li Mutian rolled his eyes: "It doesn't matter, since it was given by my predecessors, then I will reluctantly stay, even if it is useless, I will be an ornament, it doesn't look like an eyesore." ”
When the rickety old man heard this, he suddenly had an urge to squirt blood, why is the young man so impetuous now, like his disciples, always thinking about getting something for nothing.
It's not that the invincible system is a cheat, even if these things really exist, they are also in the hands of the powerful in the vast universe, how can they fall into the hands of a nameless junior?
The rickety old man's eyes flashed with disdain, at this moment he was too lazy to take care of Li Mutian, except for sighing and shaking his head, he looked like he hated iron but not steel.
At this moment, Li Mutian couldn't stop giggling to himself, he had been shrouded in sudden happiness, and he had completely forgotten the previous shadow of death.
Suddenly, Li Mutian seemed to think of something, and raised his eyebrows: "Senior, since this is the case, is there any Tianling Stone Milk, if so, give me ten or eight drops, or five or six drops?"
When the rickety old man heard this, his beard stood up, and he completely broke out, and his withered hand pointed at Li Mutian:
"You stinky boy really don't know what to do, do you know why I've been staying here? The old man waited for almost a hundred years before waiting for this drop of Heavenly Spirit Stone Milk, and I originally planned to take it in a year or two. ”
"I never thought I met you kid, I saw you half-dead just now, so I relented for a while, and gave you this heavenly spirit stone milk, you kid actually wanted ten drops and eight drops, if I really had so many heavenly spirit stone milk, I would have kicked you out a long time ago." ”
Seeing the old man jumping like thunder, blowing his beard and glaring, Li Mutian smiled:
"If you don't have that Heavenly Spirit Stone Milk, why are you so excited, then you have been in the Heavenly Demon Stream for so many years, and I don't dislike it if you give me some of the heavenly treasures here. After all, I arrived at the Heavenly Realm one day earlier, which is ...... for my seniors."
Before Li Mutian could finish speaking, the rickety old man waved his hand and interrupted Li Mutian:
"In the past, there were indeed countless rare grasses in the Heavenly Demon Stream, but now they are gone, so you don't have to be delusional anymore. ”
Li Mutian asked curiously, "Why is there no more?" Could it be that something major has happened?"
"Why? Why? I hurt them!"
As soon as the words fell, the withered face of the rickety old man was suddenly filled with a look of remorse and fear, and his head was splitting, and he actually held his head and cried loudly......
I don't know how much time passed, but the rickety old man sat in a dimly lit corner, rubbing his forehead, not saying a word, and fell into deep thought.
The rickety old man sometimes frowned and sometimes sighed, and the painful and inexplicable expression on his wrinkled face full of vicissitudes was clear at a glance.
At a glance, it was clear that he was caught in a memory, and this memory seemed to be hidden deep in his heart and did not want to touch.
Li Mutian looked at the rickety old man who fell silent, and was at a loss for a while, not knowing what to do.
After half a ring, the rickety old man's face softened slightly, and he stood up with the help of the stone wall and continued:
"I took your blood and gave you Tianling Stone Milk, it stands to reason that you and I owe each other nothing. But your life is still in my hands, so I want you to grant me two requests before I can let you go safely. ”
The rickety old man said that he did not continue to talk here, but looked at Li Mutian.
Li Mutian was stunned when he heard this, but he was not too surprised: "It doesn't hurt to say what the seniors want. ”
The rickety old man nodded and said, "First, you have to keep your mouth shut about today's events and not mention it to anyone, and second, once you reach the realm of heaven and man, go to the Heavenly Demon Stream to find me." ”
"In addition, you have to make an oath to your demons that you will keep your promises. ”
The inner demon has no meaning for ordinary cultivators, and it is said that as long as the cultivation reaches the realm of heaven and man, once there is a bottleneck period, once there is a inner demon, it will fall short, and there is even a danger of going mad.
Therefore, the Inner Demon Oath is only very binding on cultivators above the Heavenly and Human Realms.
The old man's two demands did not have any loss for Li Mutian, after all, the realm of heaven and man was still out of reach.
Li Mutian did not hesitate: "I can promise my seniors, but my companions must leave this place alive with me." ”
At this time, Li Mutian was still worried about Li Qingyang and the others in his heart, although he had learned from the rickety old man that they were not dead, but he was still a little worried.
Especially Chu Qinghe, although they have only known each other for a day, after experiencing so many things and experiencing the test of life and death together, everything has become different.
The rickety old man said with some hesitation: "I can't guarantee whether you can all get out alive, after all, the three people trapped in the illusion are here to hunt you down." ”
Li Mutian suddenly realized: "Can't the seniors kill them in the illusion?"
The rickety old man pondered for a moment, glanced at Li Mutian with a complicated and meaningful look, and said:
"Although I was able to control that phantom array, after many years, the power of the formation was limited, and their strength was far above yours, especially one of them who had reached the realm of heaven and man, and the phantom array could trap them for a while at most. ”
Li Mutian said curtly: "That senior personally ...... to do it"
The rickety old man waved his hand and interrupted Li Mutian's words: "I can't get out of this stone room at all, once I get out, my chance of life will be dissipated immediately, and I will no longer exist." So all I can do is help you, and whether or not you can escape from this place is up to your own creation. ”
"Then where do we go out?" Do we still have to go from the desert illusion ......" Li Mutian was still a little afraid when he thought of the desert illusion at this time.
"The place where you come in is the entrance, and there is an exit here, and the mechanism is on the armrest of a dragon's head chair at the end of the cavern. ”
The rickety old man seemed to remember something again, and continued: "In addition, you must also be careful of the puppet armor in the cave, those puppets were brought here by my disciples and grandchildren, and I cannot control them. ”
"One of the silver-armored golems still has some strength, and after all these years, I'm not sure if it will be able to wake up, but these puppets are still extremely dangerous for you anyway. ”
"Their mission is to protect this place, so don't touch anything here, just go out through that passage, don't alarm them, you know?"
"The younger generation will keep it in mind and will definitely not alarm those puppet ......"
Li Mutian's heart was relieved, he believed that with the help of the rickety old man, he and the others would definitely be able to escape.
"In addition, the juniors also have a request, if Mutian reaches the realm of heaven and man, he will naturally return here, but the seniors must promise not to harm the lives of the juniors under any circumstances. ”
"Whether I can wait until that day is still unknown, maybe I can only survive for three and a half years, at most no more than ten years, and it is almost impossible for you to break through to the realm of heaven and man during this time, I just leave myself a hope. ”
The rickety old man seemed to think of something again, and said, "And do you think that your blood can bring my body back to life?"
Li Mutian was stunned: "Isn't it?"
The rickety old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Actually, the reason why your blood is of great use to me is not that it can give me a new life, but that it can delay my life for a few years, and the most important thing is because of the mysterious soul power contained in your blood, which can condense my soul and increase the possibility of my reincarnation." ”
Li Mutian was shocked: "Reincarnation?
The rickety old man said with a wry smile: "According to a book of ancient classics, reincarnation exists, but only when the soul power reaches a certain level, there is the possibility of reincarnation. Therefore, as soon as your blood can increase my soul power to some extent, I will immediately dismantle it on my own and strive for the slightest possibility of reincarnation. ”
"So your life doesn't matter to me, how can I hurt your life if you help me?"
"Therefore, I promise you that you will never harm your boy's life. ”
Hearing this, Li Mutian also understood the reason, and at this time, with the promise of the rickety old man, the promise of a strong man is like having a life amulet.
Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on Li Mutian's face, and the next moment, he made an oath according to the words of the rickety old man......
