2524_ can belong to

Elder Hu: "Yes, a new spirit vein, a new spirit vein that really belongs here. It may take a long time, and maybe the new spirit vein will be very weak for a long time, but it belongs here. I die Afterwards, the Jingjinfeng sect fell into obscurity, and then the sect can grow together with this little spirit vein. This is our spirit vein."

Elder Hu’s eyes were red, and after a while, he calmed down, and discussed the details of the transaction with me in the most solemn tone since we met: “This spiritual plant-type spiritual vein is just like what I just said, it is of great importance to our Jingjin Peak. The meaning of bringing the dead back to life, logically speaking, we can pay you any price for it. However, you also know that the Jingjin Peak spiritual vein you want is attached to it, and we have no right to decide it. Moreover, because it is so It has allowed us to attach to it for many years, so it is kind to us, if you want to kill its will, disregard its expectations and take it as your own, I am afraid..."

Elder Hu paused for a while, then closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid we can only choose to give up the spiritual vein of Lingzhi and choose to protect Jinfeng's spiritual vein to the end."

I thought: Should I say that I have a better spirit vein and don't want the Jingjinfeng spirit vein that may cause me trouble at all, or should I say that if I really want to snatch Jinfeng's spirit vein, the sect Jing Jinfeng has no ability to stop me?

I tried my best to be tactful: "It is theoretically possible to develop a spirit-planting spirit vein that perfectly fits with Jingjinfeng and can grow together with you, but it is very difficult and may fail at any time."

Elder Hu: "On the road of cultivation, there are no simple things that are sure to succeed. If you have a chance, that's enough."

Me: "I won't do anything against Jingjin Peak's spirit veins. I can tell you what I plan to do to it right now. Listen first?"

Elder Hu: "Tell me."

This kind of butler's attitude is generally not the head of the house... Cough, let's get down to business first.

Me: "What I said before, please give me the spirit veins of Jingjin Peak, does not mean that I want to own it, I just want to use it for some experiments. You may have thought of it, I am going to give the core of the spirit veins of the Gu pool Putting the fragments into Jingjinfeng's spiritual veins will help Jingjinfeng's spiritual veins repair the wounds on the one hand. In addition, I hope that the Jingjinfeng's spiritual veins will give back some introductions to the growth of the core fragments, so that the core fragments have a chance to grow into a complete spiritual vein .”

Elder Hu: "This is more difficult than becoming our own spiritual veins."

Me: "Not necessarily. Because Jingjinfeng's spiritual veins may take the initiative to cooperate with me in order to heal the wound."

Elder Hu: "But how sure are you that the core fragments will help the recovery of Jingjinfeng's spiritual veins?"

2525_ Mutual benefit

Me: "Not sure, so I need to experiment. But once my experiment starts, it may last until Jingjinfeng's spiritual vein leaves here. Therefore, your successor spiritual vein must first make preparations."

Elder Hu: "Okay, let's do it as soon as possible. If there is anything in your experiment that requires our cooperation, just mention it."

I was not polite to him: "It would be best, during my experiment, except for the person who arranged the successor spirit vein, other people and all the artificial buildings here can be removed."

Elder Hu: "Yes."

Afterwards, everyone in Jingjinfeng began intense preparations, and I... went back to Yunxiazong.

Before leaving, Elder Hu thanked me again and again in embarrassment, making me not know how to tell him that I didn't go back to Yunxia Sect for help about Jing Jinfeng, I went back because of my personal affairs... ...Then what, I'm going back anyway, so I'll look up things like repairing the spirit veins, raising new spirit veins, etc.

Me: "If I haven't come back when you are ready, you can contact me."

Elder Hu agreed, and said: "The preparation stage on our side will be very chaotic. Elder Pei doesn't have to rush back. We will contact you when our preparations are organized, and you will come back. Otherwise, you will be here instead. Put too much pressure on the disciples."

I'm good."

Elder Hu thanked again.

Me: "You don't have to be like this, I think we are mutually beneficial. Maybe from your point of view, what you get is more valuable than what you give me, but from my point of view, I think I get from you I got enough value to match the things I gave you. Although I do give things extravagantly sometimes, I don’t enjoy the simple act of giving things. What I enjoy is that I exchange things that I don’t really need. something you want."

Me: "Maybe sometimes according to the conventional pricing, the price of the things I don't really need will be higher than the things I want, but no matter how high it is, it can't be higher than a grade, so it's only a fraction higher, Why do you feel uneasy? I follow the usual practice in the cultivation world. When I can trade items, I will never force people to owe me favors, because for me, being owed favors is also very troublesome. There are too many spin-offs, which I try to avoid."

Elder Hu: "However, your estimation of the value of the items is very problematic. The value of items does not depend on whether you need them or not."

2526_ things to worry about

Me: "I don't care what the market price is, I only care about my needs. The things I buy or sell are naturally based on my measurement standards as the first priority."

Elder Hu did not continue to argue with me, but his expression showed disapproval and tolerance of not being serious with children.

Me: "The damage of your golden core has decreased, right?" The wrinkles on the face are much less, and you can see the finer expressions.

Elder Hu: "The last part of the road must be walked beautifully."

...Ah, yes, although Jing Jinfeng has the possibility to continue, but the trend of Hu Fan's life is not stopped, but because he has too many things to worry about recently, and there are signs of acceleration.Unless Hu Fan's cultivation base can be greatly improved in the near future, otherwise, he should not be able to overcome this death calamity.

I went back to Yunxiazong because I felt that Xiao Sui was about to wake up, not the feeling of "may wake up at any time, but it doesn't seem strange to wake up all the time", but like a little Sui quilt sleeping in the bed The sun was shining directly on his face, and the quilt was thrown off.He scrunches his face uncomfortably and blocks the light with his pillow, which ends up disappearing.He continued to resist, covering his eyes with his arms, trying to continue falling asleep, but his eyelashes were already shaking, and his fingers trembled once or twice from time to time.

Now, it feels like as long as Xiao Sui yells again, he has to jump up.

I am going to call back to Yunxia Sect to ensure absolute safety.

When I returned to Peifeng, my father stood on the snow and looked at me. I was happy at first, thinking that my father was here to protect the little follower, but then I noticed that my father's expression was wrong.

Although he is as stern as usual, it's not the kind of sternness that intentionally bluffs people, nor is it the kind of sternness that dislikes me as soon as it sees me, but...

"Is something happening or about to happen to me that worries you?" I asked.

Dad: "Even if you didn't take the initiative to leave, Hu Fan will find excuses to dismiss you, and will not notify you to return to Jingjinfeng until they are ready."

I was stunned for a while, and I didn't realize why this kind of support was worth it. Dad seemed to be worried about me, and he took the initiative to explain it to me—it was just being rejected by others and being alienated by outsiders. Of course, Dad knew that it was impossible for me. hurt the soul.

The attitude of outsiders towards me rarely really affected my mood, and my general unhappiness didn't make Dad look at me any more.The influence of outsiders that will make my father worry about me... It's not Hu Fan's act of dismissing me, but, why did he dismiss me?What special thing will he do after dismissing me?And why did what he did...

life and death.

2527_contradiction

I have always believed that life and death are the only major issues in the world of cultivation, so if something happens to outsiders that makes my father worry that it will affect me, it is likely to be death, and its death is related to me.

Me: "Jing Jinfeng's preparation method for succeeding Lingmai requires Hu Fan to sacrifice his own life?"

Dad: "This is not a must. There are safer methods. But for Hu Fan now, the most sure thing to do, and the easiest way to achieve stable results after doing it, is to sacrifice his own life."

Me: "Use life to upgrade the rank of the spirit vein fireball lotus, and the upgraded spirit vein fireball lotus will inherit Hu Fan's will and become the exclusive spirit vein of the school Jing Jinfeng; and Hu Fan and Jing Jinfeng's original spirit vein Ben has established a deeper connection in the process of healing together, so the spirit vein fire ball lotus can intersect with Jing Jinfeng's original spirit vein through Hu Fan. It can accurately fill the position, and there will be no gap between Jing Jinfeng and Jing Jinfeng."

Me: "From a rational point of view, Hu Fan has very little life left. If he puts all the little life left into Jing Jinfeng to create new spiritual veins, he will change his direction and make himself last forever." Hu Fan is not the first person to sacrifice his life for his own goals and his own way, and he will certainly not be the last. This kind of sacrifice is actually not uncommon... Niang is also one of them."

I froze for a moment, then said, "But this is the first time I've ever seen someone I've had a relationship with up close, and done that, knowing what's going on."

Dad looked at me and didn't speak.

Me: "Rationally, I think Hu Fan's choice is very cost-effective, but emotionally, it's a bit uncomfortable. When Mother chose to give birth to me, were you also conflicted like this?"

Dad: "It's different. I seldom talk about your mother's death with you. It's not that I want to avoid this topic, but the situation at that time was very complicated, and there were many things that you can't understand now because of your cultivation. That's not A simple multiple-choice question, but it does involve choices, many choices. What I can tell you with absolute certainty is still the same as when you first learned about this matter. Health, there is no necessary connection, you don't need to feel any guilt. I repeat, these are not words of comfort. You must know me better now than before, so you should believe that I will not comfort you with lies. It hasn’t happened before, and it won’t happen in the future.”

"Well." I nodded, "I know, I believe, I don't feel guilty, at least I don't think I do. I just regret sometimes that she is no longer here. If my mother is still alive... at least I will be beaten by you When there is time, there will be one more person to turn to for help.”
