At this moment, Luo Xiu was having a hard time enduring the old man's words. The old man gave him too much pressure. Moreover, Luo Xiu found that it was impossible to remain calm in front of the old man. He had to resist this strange will and couldn't speak at all.
Otherwise, if he really told the truth, he would really be consigned to eternal damnation.
After thinking this through, Luo Xiu forced himself to say these words under the influence of the system. For him, this was definitely a situation he didn't want to see. Moreover, it made him feel very resistant. He felt very sullen in his heart. More importantly, he couldn't release the irritation in his heart.
Originally, with his cultivation, he should not have been like this. However, there was an inexplicable pressure coming from the old man, causing him to fear the old man, but at the same time, he could not help but feel a sense of intimacy. At this moment, he suddenly realized why he had chosen this shop out of all the other shops. It had nothing to do with feng shui. It was very obvious that there was a problem with the old man's cultivation method, so much so that it could affect his mind's judgment. It was simply terrifying to the extreme.
After thinking this through, Luo Xiu looked at the old man with a trace of vigilance. He was very sure that the old man didn't have good intentions towards him. Even from the moment he entered the room until now, he had been led by the nose by the old man. At the thought of this, Luo Xiu shuddered. This old man's control of human nature was simply perfect. Luo Xiu couldn't produce any will to resist.
At the same time, the old man ignored Luo Xiu's doubtful expression and looked at Luo Xiu with a trace of approval. However, he shook his head slightly and said with waning interest, "This doesn't prove anything. You can only blame yourself for being unlucky. However, this is also your own good fortune. If you were taken away by those damned guides, you wouldn't be able to keep the things on you. More importantly, you will be brainwashed by them and I don't know what the consequences will be. In short, you only need to know that if you were to follow them, you will definitely lose the qualifications to be a human and become a killing machine. It shows how lucky you are to be able to ascend safely and not fall into the hands of those guides!"
In the face of the old man's words, Luo Xiu didn't know how to respond. He could only awkwardly touch the back of his head. For him, before he could figure out what the old man thought of him, he could only bide his time and do his best to cooperate with the old man. "Senior, I've just come to this world. I don't know many things about this world.
If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me. I just want to find a place to settle down and then change my cultivation. After everything is done, I am ready to explore this world. But now, it seems that this plan is obviously not going to work. I found that if I don't practice in this world, my cultivation will quickly melt away. That's why I took the risk to come here. I was born with a special Divine Sense that allows me to sense where the cultivator's cultivation is stronger. That's why I followed this feeling to come here. So, if I have offended you in any way, please forgive me! "
If I've offended you in any way, please forgive me in any way. "Luo Xiu explained to the old man anxiously. For him, the old man's words made him feel a little ashamed. At the same time, it gave Luo Xiu an excuse.
"Well, the Old Man already knows about your situation. You can stay here first. As for the rest, wait for the Old Man to figure it out. As long as you work here honestly, the Old Man will definitely satisfy all your requirements. Also, help the Old Man extract the things in your storage ring as soon as possible. The Old Man needs the Life Essence to continue his life. Therefore, you'll be very busy. Also, this is a cultivation method. The remaining two jade slips are some of the experiences the Old Man gained from processing medicinal herbs over the years. This blank jade slip is for you to record some of the things you don't understand in the process of changing your cultivation method. First, look at the annotations. If you still can't understand, come and ask the Old Man. During this period of time, the Old Man will be cultivating in seclusion. Ying 'er will be in your care!"
After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Luo Xiu. Seeing Luo Xiu nod, the old man pointed at the little girl in front of him and said very seriously.
For Luo Xiu, the little girl was really cute. Even for him, he subconsciously couldn't refuse the little girl's curious gaze.
Luo Xiu extended his hand to receive the three jade slips that the old man handed to him. After that, he looked towards the little girl before him. The corner of his mouth twitched. The little girl's gaze towards him at this moment really caused him to feel a chill down his spine. Especially the little girl's gaze towards him that seemed to be filled with pity and also seemed to be looking at an idiot. It really caused him to feel extremely baffled.
"Oh!
That's right, don't underestimate Xiao Ying. If you can't handle a lot of things, just look for Xiao Ying directly. As long as it's not a matter of life and death, don't bother the Old Man!
Also, don't be too high-profile. Before your cultivation is completely converted to our world's Immortal Source Force, you'd better keep a low profile. Don't attract the attention of the people in the City Lord's Mansion. Although that guy Hao Yue isn't much, with the Old Man's current state, you still don't want to have any conflicts with him. Obediently get through this period of time. That's the most important thing for you to deal with right now. Other than that, you can do other things. As long as you complete the tasks given to you by the Old Man, you can do whatever you want for the rest of the time! "
The old man seemed to suddenly think of something and pointed at Xiao Ying again. Then, he looked at Luo Xiu and said.
At this moment, Luo Xiu didn't know how much of what the old man said was true and how much was false. However, from the old man's words, it wasn't difficult to tell that he was indeed lucky. But from the old man's words, it was obvious that it was hard to say whether it was good or bad for him.
More importantly, at this moment, Luo Xiu already understood that he couldn't refuse the old man in front of him for the time being. This was because he could feel that he could be killed by this old man at any time. Although this old man looked like he only had a few days left in his lifespan, his terrifying cultivation was absolutely beyond imagination.
Seeing the little girl nod slightly at him, Luo Xiu was speechless. At the same time, he became more and more curious about the old man and the young girl's way of doing things. In particular, the little girl's strange expression just now made Luo Xiu feel as if something was stuck in his throat. He really couldn't understand it. At the same time, he didn't know why he had a bad feeling.
What made Luo Xiu feel even more strange was the old man's attitude. He was a little too good to him. However, relying on his powerful cultivation and the help of the system, Luo Xiu didn't care about the possible malice at all. He was simply prepared to take a risk. He knew his real purpose of coming here, so he nodded without hesitation. Then, under the guidance of the little girl, they found an empty room to stay in.
In the following days, Luo Xiu passed every day very peacefully. During this time, Luo Xiu refined and processed the medicinal materials in his body according to the jade slip given to him by the old man. At the same time, he familiarized himself with the surrounding environment and helped the little girl to sell things. Other than that, he was busy with his own affairs. As for cultivation, Luo Xiu didn't have any thoughts for the time being. Although he had already obtained the cultivation method, he didn't ask about it, nor did he start to cultivate.
At this moment, he couldn't help but worry about the old man's intentions. After all, this old man was too good to him for no reason. Therefore, Luo Xiu, who was worried that there was something wrong with this cultivation method, just entered this cultivation method into the database of the system and let the system help him check if there were any loopholes in this cultivation method provided by the old man.
More importantly, he had no intention of cultivating the cultivation technique that the old man had given him. The reason why he had accepted this cultivation technique was to give it to the system as a reference. He wanted the system to help him modify the cultivation technique so that he could increase the speed of his cultivation. Although he knew that doing so was very dangerous and even had the possibility of being exposed, Luo Xiu felt that powerful strength was what he urgently needed based on his current experience.
In particular, Luo Xiu didn't think that he had the ability to look down on the world. Even if his current cultivation was much higher than that of ordinary practitioners, compared with the old man in front of him, he was really nothing.
More importantly, Luo Xiu knew that he couldn't be completely sure of the old man's attitude towards him. Therefore, Luo Xiu was ready to wait for the situation to develop further.
At the same time, Luo Xiu was very clear that he didn't have many choices. No matter what he was going to do next and how he was going to do it, he would inevitably have to further improve his current cultivation. This was because only with powerful strength in this Green Cloud Great World could he deal with any unexpected situation that might happen next.
Whether it was the Heavenly Dragon Sect or Supreme Hao Yue, sooner or later his existence would be known by them. At that time, in the face of these two powerful forces, Luo Xiu didn't think that there were any other means that could prevent him from being coveted by others except for his powerful cultivation. If something unexpected really happened, he knew very well that he would have no choice at that time. This was because he knew that only by having powerful cultivation could he guarantee his freedom.
In the following days, with Supreme Hao Yue in charge, Hao Yue City regained its tranquility. At the same time, during this period, Luo Xiu had also finished processing several batches of medicinal materials. The old man didn't stand on ceremony and collected all the medicinal materials. Then, he urged Luo Xiu to change his cultivation method as soon as possible. For some reason, Luo Xiu could feel a trace of impatience from the old man's anxious words. It seemed that Luo Xiu's failure to change his cultivation method in time was a form of distrust toward the old man. It seemed that Luo Xiu's refusal to listen to him was a form of indirect rebellion against him.
What made Luo Xiu feel even more strange was that, as time went by, Luo Xiu's refusal to cooperate made the old man's mood very irritable. The number of times he urged Luo Xiu to change his cultivation method also increased. After Luo Xiu realized this, he carefully observed for a period of time. He discovered that the old man's attitude toward him and the old man's gaze contained an inexplicable meaning that even Luo Xiu couldn't understand. It was as if the old man was looking at something that belonged to him. That kind of expectant gaze made Luo Xiu very surprised and even made his hair stand on end.
Noticing the change in the old man's attitude towards him, Luo Xiu was well aware that the old man's patience was disappearing bit by bit. This caused the little bit of goodwill that Luo Xiu originally had towards the old man to disappear without a trace as time passed. This was because he realized that as time passed, the old man began to urge him more frequently, wanting him to quickly switch to the Purification Technique that was given to him.
As for Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu also knew that the system in his mind didn't give him a way to change the cultivation method. This made Luo Xiu fall into a dilemma. Before he figured out why the old man was so good to him, he simply didn't dare to practice this cultivation method.
Especially in the past three months, the old man had begun to urge Luo Xiu to practice this cultivation method every day. Luo Xiu also carefully studied this cultivation method. As for what was special about this cultivation method, Luo Xiu didn't practice it, so he didn't discover it for the time being. He only knew that, after practicing this cultivation method, the original attributes of the power in his body would be quickly and thoroughly washed away. It was like dyed clothes that had undergone some special treatment and became white again.
Although Luo Xiu was flabbergasted by the peculiarity of this cultivation technique, he was even more aware of the strangeness of this cultivation technique. He had discovered that if he completely mastered this Purification Technique, there would be a period of three months of free time after the Purification Technique was completed.
During these three months, not only would he not be able to use any trace of power in his body, but he would also not be able to practice cultivation methods with other attributes. During these three months, he would have to fully display the purification method of the Purification Method to thoroughly purify the energy in his body. Although doing so would make the total amount of energy in his body more condensed, these three months would also be the most dangerous period for him.
At the same time, after familiarizing himself with it for a period of time, Luo Xiu knew that there was a fatal weakness of the Purification Art. If someone were to make a move on him during this three month window period, that is to say, if someone were to seize his body, he would not be able to resist at all. Moreover, as long as the possession was successful, then at that time, his cultivation would be taken advantage of by the person who seized his body.
