Chapter 22: Soul Soldier Moon Shadow
Xiao Chen is not a kind person, otherwise Thunder God would not have held back that day. But now Xiao Jian provoked him again, which really annoyed him. Isn’t he reaching the level of a martial artist? Is it necessary to show off?
In front of Xiao Jue, Xiao Chen was not good at attack and chuckled, "When you have that ability, let's talk big." Without waiting for Xiao Jian to answer, he turned around and left.
"you!"
Xiao Jian looked at Xiao Chen's departure back, his eyes became extremely cold, and he clenched his fists hard. I, Xiao Jian, would not lose to this waste no matter what!
"Second Young Master, I've found you. The Great Elder is looking for you everywhere."
Xiao Chen was about to go back, but he met him before he was halfway through. The little maid who once asked him to take the family's strength test was a little strange, what was the eldest elder asking him for?
Stopped, Xiao Chen looked at the exclusive maid of the eldest elder and said, "What is the eldest elder asking for me? Do you know?"
The maid replied honestly: "I don't know what the specific matter is, but it should be a very important thing to see the elder being very anxious."
If this were the case before, the maid would definitely not even shook Xiao Chen, and she would leave after passing a message. Today, she not only answered Xiao Chen’s question truthfully, but also had an extremely humble attitude.
"You lead the way." Xiao Chen ignored the change in the girl's attitude and said calmly.
The little maid seemed a little nervous. She was so timid that she didn't dare to say a word along the way. After taking Xiao Chen to the yard of the eldest elder Xiao Qiang, she immediately said goodbye.
When he entered the yard, Xiao Chen saw the elder waved to him on the stone table in the yard, and hurriedly walked over quickly. Xiao Xiong was in seclusion, and the entire Xiao family had the highest status as the elder. Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless in his attitude.
Seeing Xiao Chen standing at the table, the elder chuckled and said, "Sit down, you are all your own family, don't be so reserved."
Xiao Chen thanked him, and after sitting down, he asked carefully: "The Great Elder comes to me, I don't know what's going on."
Xiao Qiang smiled silently, picked up the tea cup on the stone table and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Chen, and said with a smile: "This tea is the best tea in the south, which is difficult to buy in Qizi County, try it!"
Xiao Chen knew nothing about tea and other things, so he took a sip and said, "Great Elder, come to me..."
"Don't worry, thank you for Yu Lan's affairs first." Xiao Qiang interrupted Xiao Chen and said, "This girl has been on the mountain for so many years and has been unwilling to go down the mountain. If it weren't for you this time, she would never have come down."
"I heard Yu Lan say that your martial soul is a purple flame. Can you show it to me?"
Xiao Chen nodded, and a purple flame appeared in his palm, jumping constantly, swaying a strange light.
Xiao Qiang looked at the purple thunder true fire in Xiao Chen's hand with a serious expression. He raised his hand and gathered his energy in his right palm. A suction force shot out from it. Feeling this power, Xiao Chen did not resist and allowed Xiao Qiang to absorb a trace of purple flames.
Zizzi!
Looking at the flames that were constantly burning in his palms, Xiao Qiang said with satisfaction: "This flame is indeed domineering. The difficulty was that Xiao Jian would be distracted by it. With the realm of my great martial arts master, he would have to waste his skills to destroy this flame."
"Great Elder, with the strength of the Great Elder, this flame may not hurt you at all."
Seeing that Xiao Chen was so modest, Xiao Qiang was very satisfied. He laughed and waved the flame in his palm, "This flame is extremely pure. You can try the profession of alchemist in the future."
The fire used by the alchemist on the Tianwu Continent must come from the martial soul, which requires the alchemist's martial soul to be a fire-attributed spirit beast or a fire-attributed holy object. If it is a pure purple thunder true fire like Xiao Chen, it would be the best. However, the great elder obviously did not know that Xiao Chen's purple thunder true fire was not his martial soul.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I did have such an idea, but the threshold for alchemists is extremely high. There is no second-grade or above alchemist in Mohe City. It is not easy to get in."
Xiao Chen's words are half true and half false. If an alchemist is willing to accept him as his disciple, it will naturally be better. In the future, refining medicine will definitely be twice the result with half the effort. But even if there is no advanced alchemist to lead him, it is not difficult to successfully refine elixirs with the extremely complete alchemy chapter in the cultivation collection.
Xiao Qiang pondered for a while and said, "I have a beginner book for the pharmacist. I'll find someone to send it to you later."
The primary introductory books for alchemists are not very precious, but Xiao Chen is also very interested in how to refine medicine in this world. He can take a look and smiled and said, "Thank you, the elder."
However, after talking for a long time, the elder still did not tell Xiao Chen about the real purpose of calling him here this time.
"Mr. Xiao, I want to count you as a quota for this ten-year fight. What do you think?"
Just now, he was thinking about the purpose of the elder calling him, but the elder immediately gave the answer, as if he had seen through Xiao Chen's thoughts.
The ten-year military battle involves the Qijiao Mountains where the Xiao family relies for survival. Once the military battle is lost, the Xiao family will soon become a second-rate family in Mohe City. At that time, those families that once had a feud with the Xiao family will definitely take the blame.
Let’s not talk about whether Xiao Chen can leave alone. Whether it is Xiao Chen now and Xiao Chen before, they still have some feelings for the Xiao family. What should I do if Xiao Yulan is gone? What should I do if Xiao Chen’s father is taking over other people’s bodies? Although Xiao Chen is a dead house, he still has this responsibility.
Therefore, even if the great elder doesn't say anything about this ten-year agreement, he will do his best to help the Xiao family survive this crisis. Since then, the grudges between Xiao Chen and this family have been cleared.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was silent, Xiao Qiang thought he would not agree, and then said, "This is actually what your father meant. He knew that you condensed martial souls and defeated Xiao Jian. He was very happy for you."
"My father? Isn't he in seclusion?" Xiao Chen said with some confusion.
Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "No matter how you go into seclusion, you are still a human being. You have to eat and drink. I took the time to tell the patriarch about you. He didn't seem to be very surprised, and he called you to participate in the ten-year war."
Not surprised? Could it be that he would know that I would condense my martial soul, and that I would also know that I would condense my Qinglong martial soul. But the meaning of the Great Elder was not very similar, otherwise he would not have regarded his purple thunder true fire as his martial soul just now.
"By the way, the elder, when will my father come out? He has been in seclusion for three years, right? Ordinary people are not so exaggerated to the realm of Martial Master, and it takes so long." Seeing that he had the opportunity to ask Xiao Xiong about the news, Xiao Chen immediately asked out the doubts that had been pressed in his heart for a long time.
There are three most important levels in the martial arts path. The first is naturally to condense martial souls. As long as you successfully condense martial souls before the age of ten, your cultivation will definitely reach the realm of a great martial artist in the future, which is just a matter of time. The second level is that the great martial artist attacks the martial master. After you can pass, your cultivation level will at least reach the realm of the Martial King. Otherwise, you will only stay in the realm of a great martial artist for your whole life.
As for the last level of the Martial Emperor level, it is vague and vain and mysterious. Most people say that the later realm is the legendary Martial God, but no one knows whether there is a Martial God.
Xiao Qiang drank a tea and said seriously: "The martial arts skills your father practices are different. He has accumulated strength and once the impact is successful, he will immediately return to the peak of the martial arts master. In the end, my Xiao family will not only be in Mohe City, but also have a place in the entire Qizi County."
"There is a prerequisite for all this, which is to protect the Qijiao Mountains. In recent years, the Zhang family's forces have made rapid progress, not inferior to our Xiao family. It is really not to be underestimated. If they get ownership of the Qijiao Mountains, the fate of our Xiao family will definitely be ugly, so you should consider the matter of the second young master's ten-year appointment."
The great elder's speaking skills were really extraordinary. As he turned around, he turned the topic back. Xiao Chen's mind was as bright as lightning. After thinking carefully, he felt that he could take this opportunity to find the great elder to gain some benefits. He just happened to be missing a soul soldier.
Then he said with a bitter face: "It's not that I refuse to agree to the Great Elder. Look at me, I have nothing to do and don't even have soul soldiers."
Xiao Qiang smiled and said, "You have a really big appetite. You need soul soldiers as soon as you open your mouth, but can you get soul soldiers at any street stall? Even Xiao Jian has just reached the level of a martial artist and has only obtained a soul soldiers."
If the soul soldiers are still at the level of a martial artist, are there any regulations?
"As long as you reach the level of a martial artist, you can have soul soldiers. This is the rule of my Xiao family. However, I personally collect a few soul soldiers and can choose them for you." The Great Elder changed his tone, which made Xiao Chen, who had no hope, feel happy.
Xiao Qiang waved his hand and four soul soldiers appeared on the stone table, and there was another space ring. Xiao Chen looked at the gray-white ring on the elder's finger with some envy. When the purple thunder strike reached the second level and learned to refine weapons, he must first get a space-based magic weapon for himself.
Turning his eyes to the four soul soldiers on the stone table, Xiao Chen observed carefully that the four soul soldiers were three long swords, and only one was the shape of a Taisword. But the luster of these soul soldiers was not very good. After Xiao Chen held them in his hand one by one, he could be determined that they were all primary soul soldiers of the yellow level.
The primary soul soldier of the yellow level is the most trashy soul soldier. Xiao Chen felt a little bit of a pity, but this expression cannot be expressed on his face. Ordinary people are not as happy as they have a soul soldier, so how could they feel a pity? The elder was suspicious in his heart, and Xiao Chen's expression seemed extremely excited.
"How is it? Have you chosen it?" Xiao Qiang said with satisfaction as he looked at Xiao Chen's excited look.
Xiao Chen picked up the soul soldier in the shape of a too-sword, saw the word "Yueying" written on the handle, and said, "It's this Yueying."
