"Are you ready?" When Li Hao returned to that formation, Lao Dao immediately noticed his arrival and asked.

"That's right. Here we go. Li Hao didn't hesitate at this time and nodded.

When Lao Dao heard this, he laughed and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start." Now I'll tell you what to do now. First of all, all you have to do is come and take me off first. I will suppress the operation of the formation first, and there will not be much resistance to stop you, so that you have the possibility of taking me off. Then, you'll need to race against the clock to keep your brand on me for the next hundred breaths, and at the same time connect the brand of Ginzawa with me. In this way, I will be able to protect your body after a hundred breaths, and at the same time take with me what I need to take with me. Got it?"

"Take you off?" Li Hao frowned.

When Lao Dao heard this, he smiled.

Suddenly, in the same place where he first appeared, a painting suddenly emerged from nothing.

The painting looked exactly like the one he had seen in the first valley, as if it were a mold in between. The same material, the same brushwork, the same pattern. He almost suspected that the portrait in the valley had appeared directly here.

"So, you should know how to pick it, right?" said the old man.

"......" Li Hao smiled helplessly and said, "You also said that you are not a painting......"

"It's just appearances, if you want to dwell on appearances, then I can't do anything about you. Old Dao shrugged.

"Don't...... Help!" Yinze's angry cry came from the side.

Li Hao looked over. found that at this time, Yin Ze was already fixed on a wall not far from Lao Dao's side. on the surface of its body. Densely engraved with countless lines.

These lines are as if they were living creatures. It circulates endlessly on the surface of its body, constantly circling and turning, which is extremely strange and at the same time extremely magical.

Li Hao took a closer look and found that Yin Ze was still moaning innocently, and although his voice sounded sad, he didn't look much miserable, at least. In his senses, the poignant voice was not much sincere. So, he calmly decided to ignore its screams.

He began to take a deep breath, slowly adjusting his physical state, adjusting his true qi, and preparing to start welcoming the next mutation.

Because Yin Ze absorbed so much of Li Hao's true qi, he was already branded as his in his body unconsciously.

This one brand doesn't have any special effect in normal times.

It only works when it comes into contact. Moreover, it will be weakened by constant shocks in the days to come. Eventually, it will disappear completely at some point.

Originally, such an imprint. The impact on this Yinze is not great, although it will be affected by it in a short time. But over time, it was able to be free.

But if it can't avoid what the old way does.

That is to say, if the brand is linked to the ninth-order magic weapon of the old way, and if it is subjected to the impact of the powerful power of the formation, then this brand belonging to Li Hao will be directly associated with this ninth-order magic weapon. At that time, this brand will be strengthened in essence! The difficulty of weakening will be a hundred times greater than before!

In that case, the stigma will no longer be broken.

This is the fundamental reason why Yinze is so reluctant to this thing.

However, Li Hao didn't know about this—he never thought that the imprint that had already formed in Yinze's body with his true qi would gradually fade away with the passage of time. It's just that once this imprint is formed, it will remain forever and will be difficult to erase.

Without this understanding, he naturally didn't know what Yin Ze was really afraid of, so he naturally wouldn't care.

"Little guy, do you still think you can be free?" said to Yin Ze with a smile in a voice that exceeded Li Hao's hearing limit.

Yinze is born with the ability to communicate with a living being, although the old way is a magic weapon, it is just a dead thing, but the ability to communicate is no different from that of a living being, and it is naturally able to communicate easily with the old way. Even if the communication method that Lao Tao is using now is not a normal method......

"What the hell do you want?!What does it matter to you if I can be free after I leave here?!Why do you want to stop me?!" Ginzawa cried out in terror.

However, this kind of voice of communication with the old Tao, at this moment, to Li Hao's ears, is just like a meaningless roar.

"Huh...... How can I say that it doesn't matter? From now on, he will be my master. Seeking the benefit of one's own master, isn't this what a magic weapon should do?" said with a smile.

"Then you are crazy?!You are a ninth-order magic weapon, he doesn't even have the ability to truly sacrifice you, how can you be considered your master?!Even if you want to leave this world with the help of him, that's no problem, after leaving, you can find a powerful master who can sacrifice you?!Why hang him?!" Yin Ze said incredulously.

At this time, it looked into the eyes of the old way, as if it were looking at a madman, looking at something that he could not understand at all.

When the old Taoist heard this, he laughed and said, "Why do you think that I should be looking for a powerful master who can sacrifice me, but not a cultivator who can't sacrifice me to be my master?"

"Isn't that right? Although I don't have much knowledge, I also know that in order to improve the magic weapon, it needs the power of the master. If you don't meet a powerful master who can sacrifice you, your prohibition will regress! Your class will be lowered, and it will be impossible for you to become a magic weapon! If you look for him to be your master, you will simply kill yourself!"

Lao Dao shook his head and said with a smile: "You are really shallow. What you're talking about is just an ordinary magic weapon. But it's not a ninth-order magic weapon like me that has accumulated power for tens of thousands of years. For me, it doesn't matter who the master is or how strong the master is. The master is strong, and I don't need to use his sacrifice to break through. The owner is weak, and I will not be damaged by this. In that case, who is the master, and what difference does it make to me?"

"Since it doesn't make any difference to you who the master is, then why do you have to hang him?!" Yin Ze grabbed Lao Dao's words and shouted.

Lao Dao said a reason that Yin Ze didn't know how to refute at all: "Because, I see him pleasing to the eye." (To be continued......)
