The old man continued:

"It doesn't matter if I die. But just like Leng Ruobing said, I can't be a sinner in the Demon Flow Mansion, I want to pass on this magic to the juniors in the mansion, and I can't let it be cut off in my hands. ”

"The Demon Flow Mansion has been inherited for thousands of years, and only the old man has become an evil refiner in this generation, and finally God gave me a gifted Leng Ruobing, but I didn't expect this person to be a snake and scorpion with a heart like a snake and scorpion. If I had taught him, I don't know how many people would have been murdered by him in the future. ”

The old man said and looked at Ji Longjun deeply, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Long Jun, as I said just now, we are destined. In my last hour, you came to me by accident. Although your qualifications are not suitable for learning the art of blood refining, and it is difficult to become an evil refiner with your innate Five Elements foundation, I have no choice, and I can't afford to wait. ”

Ji Longjun chuckled in his heart, realizing as if something was about to happen.

"Former ...... Senior, don't say that, you say that, I'...... I'm not sure. ”

"Hah, you kid. ”

The old man laughed, shook his head slightly, and said heartily: "Longjun, it's too late for you to refuse now." Your muscles and bones have been severely damaged by my blood alchemy technique, and only by learning this technique can you save yourself. Of course, I don't expect you to be able to learn anything high, because ...... After all, you don't have any Dao foundation at all. You just need to learn it, I hope you can save your life and go to the Trapped Demon Valley for me, and refine the magic of demon bleeding...... Bring it to the Demon Stream Mansion, and the Lord of the Mansion will select the talents, and pass on the magic to the descendants of the Demon Stream Mansion. ”

Ji Longjun frowned, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he lowered his head and was silent, thinking to himself: "How can this be the case? This old man said that it turned out to be the idea of fighting! Doesn't he just want me to pass on his strange evil art to him before I die?"

"Little brother, you...... Can you do me a favor?" the old man asked, but the more Ji Longjun thought about it, the more sad he became, and he didn't know whether he should agree or not.

"I also have two younger brothers, and Da Kai is stupid all day long, and I don't know what time he eats every day. Also, he's still so young, and he's not good at communicating with people, if I'm ...... Won't I be more autistic when I'm dead?

Ji Longjun quietly exerted his strength again, and every time he exerted his strength, there was a tingling pain in his muscles and bones, which made Ji Longjun even more irritable.

"What is this, I came in decently, although I was unlucky and almost caught by that bullshit owner, but now I can't get out. Even if I go out, according to what he said, my bones and muscles will be injured, and if I don't learn his evil arts, I will either become a waste person for the rest of my life, or I won't have long to live. What else does he want me to go to the Trapped Demon Valley, isn't it...... Isn't this coercing me and taking advantage of me?"

The more Ji Longjun thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, but when he looked up and saw the old man's haggard face and eyes full of earnest hope, Ji Longjun couldn't say the decisive words for a while.

"Long Jun, don't you want to?" the old man asked silently.

"Senior, I have a few words that are very uncomfortable in my heart, but I am afraid that you will be uncomfortable when I say it, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

Ji Longjun looked at the old man's eyes and muttered in a low voice.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment: "Longjun, I can probably guess what you think in your heart." It's okay, just say, old man, what else is uncomfortable with my current situation. ”

Ji Longjun has all kinds of struggles in his heart.

In fact, the old man did not intend to harm him, but in desperation, he had no choice but to use evil magic to severely damage his muscles and bones, just to hide him in prison. But then he found out that Ji Longjun was a manufacturable material, and then ignited the idea of entrusting Ji Longjun.

There's nothing wrong with that.

The mistake is that all this is not what Ji Longjun wants.

"Senior, as you said, if I don't learn your blood refining technique, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for me to recover in this life. If I learn, because I don't know any Taoist techniques and can't learn them, I can only talk better than nothing, and live a little better. You also want me to try my best to go to the Trapped Demon Valley and pass on this set of spells to others. With all due respect, senior, don't be angry, I think...... I don't think it's fair to me!"

Ji Longjun finally said what he thought in his heart.

"Senior, I, Ji Longjun, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am not afraid of suffering and sin. But I also have two younger brothers, who have only survived on me all these years, and I can't imagine what they will do if I become cripples and lose the ability to take care of them. ”

The old man nodded, slightly distracted.

"Long Jun, this matter is indeed very unfair to you, and I imposed it on you with wishful thinking. But, old man, I really don't have a choice. Your two younger brothers don't have to worry, if you go to the Demon Stream Mansion, I believe that the lord of the mansion will take good care of them and give them a lot of money. If you are willing, you can also ask the lord of the mansion to arrange someone to teach your two younger brothers martial arts......"

Ji Longjun's eyes turned red, and he rudely interrupted the old man: "Senior! What does this have to do with money! This has nothing to do with money! Can I exchange my life for money, and exchange my life for my younger brother being adopted and alive in a completely strange place and being pitied by others?"

"Although the three of us have lived a very hard life in the past few years, we live very freely and with dignity! We don't need the mercy of others, we rely on ourselves!"

Ji Longjun said loudly, his chest rising and falling violently.

He thought of the neighbors in the mining city who pointed at them, the compassionate eyes of those who gave them food.

Why Ji Longjun took his two younger brothers out of the mining city, he would rather go to the mountains to eat than stay in the mining city for a day, because he is a person with incomparable self-esteem and self-improvement in his bones.

“......”

The old man's eyes when he looked at Ji Longjun lacked a trace of elder kindness and a trace of entrusted expectations, on the contrary, there was a trace of respect and appreciation in his eyes at this moment.

"Longjun, I'm sorry, I thought wrong, I apologize to you. ”

The old man said sincerely.

Ji Longjun was dumbfounded, he tried to raise his right hand and scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.

"Right...... I'm sorry, senior, I was too impulsive to speak just now. I don't blame you, I just ...... Forget it, I won't explain it. I'm stupid, and the more I explain, the more messy it becomes. ”

"Hehe, it's okay. Longjun, the two of us are really getting more and more alike. I won't tell you the truth, since I learned martial arts in my life, I have never asked for help, and I have never been polite to anyone. I met you today, so that the art of blood refining will not be lost...... I just wanted to coax you to do it for me. Hehe, I'm really confused, Longjun, I misread you. You, like me, are destined to go through an extraordinary life, how can you accept the pity or coercion of others?"

"Let's make a deal, fair deal. The old man said seriously.

"Huh, senior, you misunderstood, I'...... I really don't blame you, I just ......"

Ji Longjun was a little flustered, but he didn't know how to express what he was thinking.

"Longjun, there is no need to say it. Now listen to me. After I finish speaking, whether you are willing to accept it is up to you to decide, and there is no such thing as who asks for whom and who owes to whom, what do you think?"

“...... Hey, senior, then you can talk about it. ”

Ji Longjun knew that what he said just now had hurt some of the old man's feelings, but he had no choice but to listen to the old man's speech first.

"Longjun, I did hide something from you just now. In your current condition, almost all of your body muscles and bones have been traumatized, and if you let it go, your whole body will soften for the rest of your life. If you learn the art of blood refining with me, you can heal your own wounds, and if you're lucky, there's a certain chance that you'll be able to get better. If you learn the art of blood refining, and then learn the Taoist Five Elements Immortal Technique, and cultivate to the stage of real people and use the Dao technique to fuse the art of blood refining, you can heal your muscles and bones. ”

"However, if one day you really cultivate and become an evil cultivator, then your lifespan will definitely be greatly shorter than ordinary people. The evil refiner uses blood as a medium to condense and transfer spiritual power, and every time he does a blood medium refining, he will suffer from the leakage of vitality and the damage of internal force, and finally die of blood withering and broken pulse. ”

"Moreover, cultivating the art of blood refining has extremely high requirements for divine consciousness. Correspondingly, there is also great harm to the consciousness. The so-called divine consciousness is the spiritual power of human beings. Damaging both the true element's internal force and the spirit, the blood-borne evil refining is not so easy to practice......"

"Long Jun, if you take a closer look at me, I am just over fifty years old, but I am already old like a person in his seventies. This is still the premise that I rarely use blood medium refining, and the loss of vitality is not too serious. So, now in front of you are the following roads. ”

"First, pass on the Demon Blood Alchemy to the Demon Flow Mansion for me, and then exchange it for enough rewards to use the money to live the few remaining days as comfortably as possible. ”

Ji Longjun listened carefully, and when he heard the old man say the first one, he shook his head silently.

"Second, learn the art of blood alchemy, spend a few more years learning the Dao technique, and then work hard to become an evil alchemist and heal your own injuries. Although you have a few decades to live, having the status of an evil alchemist is equivalent to having the capital of a strong person, and you can live a few decades in style. ”

The corners of Ji Longjun's mouth slanted, and he smiled bitterly: "Senior, I don't want to waste all my time learning martial arts. I just want to be able to take care of my two younger brothers and live freely. I'm not interested in becoming a peerless master or saving the world. And also...... Is there a third way?"

The old man was silent.

"Sure enough, am I still reluctant to give up this skin?"

The old man smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling a trace of shame that he still couldn't see it at this moment.

He still had the last bit of capital, but the instinctive desire to survive kept him from making up his last decision. After all, as long as he didn't say the magic blood alchemy for a day, Leng Ruobing wouldn't attack him for a day.

As long as you live, the possibilities are endless. Although his remaining days are probably only a few years.

However, Ji Longjun rejected all two options he offered.

After a short silence, the old man slowly raised his head again, stared at Ji Longjun with his eyes and whispered, "Little brother, yes, there is a third way!"
