Chapter 152 Invitation from the Palace (5,000 words)(1/2)
Fire Spirit Root... Under the ancient tree, Suning looked at the old and young people whose face changed drastically, and sighed. Before the other party walked in, he had already activated the Qi-seeing technique and conducted an "identification".
Well, the old man does have traces of cultivation, but it is very shallow, so he is just getting started. He is definitely better than ordinary people, but very limited.
And his talent is also very average.
In comparison, a boy named Lu Qing is very interesting.
Suning read materials about talent from the system manual, among which there is a theory of the Five Elements Spiritual Root, which is a rare species, just like Shirley's Ethereal Root.
Those with the spirit root of fire are naturally friendly to fire-based spells. Once mastered, they will make rapid progress.
The price is to bear the pain of burning fire.
The older you are, the more painful you are. If you cannot improve your cultivation, you will be burned to death sooner or later.
This is the first time he has seen a living example.
As for what happened just now, it was based on logic, but judging from the reactions of the two, it should be correct.
"The wandering cultivator Lu He has seen the immortal master." In silence, the old man worshiped respectfully, his face nervous and excited.
The boy next to him followed suit, but his eyes couldn't help but feel curious.
The immortal master... Suning pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I can't afford this title. Okay, let's talk about your inheritance? appeal? What you want to get and what you want to pay."
Lu He tried hard to calm down and said in a trembling voice:
"You already know our ideas. As for the inheritance, I can't explain it clearly. The family has only passed down half a volume of the classics of refining elixirs, inherited from generation to generation, but... it has long been useless..."
Suning listened and quickly learned about the situation.
This family is similar to the Chi family, but it is slightly better, at least it still has the skill of alchemy.
However, due to the lack of materials, most of the ancestral elixir recipes are useless.
"So, do you want to obtain martial arts from us to solve the problem of fire spirit roots?" Under the hood, Suning's eyes came through the dark hole.
He deliberately used his spiritual power to release the breath of a cultivator... This can have a certain "pressure" effect on ordinary people.
This can assist the "aura" changes observed by the Qi-Looking Technique to judge the authenticity of the other party's words.
However, although the old man was afraid, he still did not retreat and said, "Yes!"
Suning continued:
"You said that you can't remember the names of your ancestors, nor do you know the inheritance they belong to. Even the only remaining practice techniques are only in the rest? I don't even know its name?"
The old man stared at the increasingly intense pressure and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
Suning was silent for a moment and said, "I'll take a look at it if I try to practice here."
The old man was overjoyed and hurriedly looked at the boy beside him. The handsome and determined boy nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground, and soon entered a breathing state.
Straws of starlight enter the body.
However, the exercises only lasted half a week before they stopped. He opened his eyes and said seriously:
“I only know these.”
It means that the fragments of martial arts mastered by the Lu family only reach this point.
Suning didn't say anything, as if he was thinking. According to observation, he had already seen that the young man was indeed the humanitarian gods.
It means that the ancestors belong to the organization.
It’s a pity that because the martial arts are a bit too bad... and with the pollution of the starry sky, although I have been practicing for more than ten years, it still has not had much effect.
He picked it up. As for the five elements spells, Suning also has a general outline of the Five Elements. Of course, what he is more looking forward to is the ability to refine alchemy.
What would the fire spirit roots look like when activate the alchemy fire?
He admitted that he was moved, but Suning couldn't agree directly, and the investigation he deserved was still necessary, and he also needed to check the identities of the two.
Under the tree, seeing the man in black fall into deep thought, the grandparents and grandchildren also became nervous.
What the elderly are worried about is whether the other party can help and whether the People's Education is as "just" as rumored.
Lu Qing simply expected that at this age, which young man didn't expect to step into the extraordinary door?
The one who thinks he is special?
Be unique and become a member of the secret organization that students are talking about, and save the world?
In fact, after the fermentation of the past few months, almost all the students in Lu Qing's class yearned for the People's Education and the official palace.
And because of the deeds of the People's Education Press and its mysterious style of conduct, it is more popular among the middle school students than the Huaxia Hall.
Adults may be more willing to join the hall, which is equivalent to joining the army. Whether it is guarantee, future, or anything else, it is extremely rich.
The young man's mind is purer and does not care much about the so-called public meals or iron rice bowls. Therefore, he is full of yearning for the people's education with a more legendary color.
Even because of pain, Lu Qing, who is more mature than his peers, is no exception.
Now, he is standing on the threshold of the fantasy gate. As long as the person opposite him nods, his life can change.
After a long silence, the man in black finally spoke, and he said calmly:
"Well, it seems you didn't lie, and his situation is indeed very bad.
If it weren't for the half-paper-destroying technique to suppress it, the situation would probably be worse. With his current situation, if there is no external help, he will probably not be able to live to be thirty years old."
The old man Lu He looked nervous. Although as a doctor, he had some expectations about this, when the strong man in the People's Education said the same thing, the anxiety and urgency suddenly intimidated him.
However, the next second, Suning's words caused him to fall into the abyss:
"But why should I help you? There are so many people in this world who suffer, right?"
Lu He said anxiously: "We are willing to pay the price."
As he said that, he took out an old book from his coat and handed it to the stone table:
"This is a pill recipe passed down from my Lu family era. I am willing to exchange it for these. This is part of it, and some are in the study."
Suning lowered his head and glanced briefly, shook his head and said:
"These things may be attractive to ordinary people, but we do not lack them.
In fact, our organization has preserved better alchemy books. Besides, you have also said that in this era, what is lacking is not the alchemy recipe, but the refined materials, right?”
The old man's face turned pale and the young man's expression was dim.
They can't refute!
In their opinion, an organization's practice technique is of course an extremely precious thing, and its own pill recipe may have been valuable many years ago.
But now... there are not even the medicinal herbs on it, so what's the point?
As for money, it is obvious that worldly money cannot impress such a powerful and secret organization.
Sure enough...is it still not possible?
Lu He looked bitter and his body was hunched over little by little. The boy hurriedly supported him and said, "Grandpa, it's okay."
It was said that, but the disappointment on his face still could not be concealed.
"But..." The man in black robe changed his tone and said, "I can give you a chance."
What?
The two of them suddenly raised their heads and looked over in surprise.
Suning smiled and said, "There is no help for no reason, but this does not mean we refuse to help."
Since you have found me, you should know that we have been fighting against demons and I can give you a chance.
Join us and become our companions, but that means that you will bear this mission together.”
Lu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. In his heart, what he expected was to join the People's Education, rather than simply treating the disease:
"I'm willing to join!"
"You..." the old man looked at him, hesitating, but when he saw the young man's longing eyebrows, he didn't say anything after all.
As an elder, he didn't want Lu Qing to take risks.
But as an elder, he hopes that the young man can walk on the path he yearns for.
Suning continued: "Don't rush to answer, think carefully. In addition, if you want to join, you also need to pass our assessment."
“Assessment?”
"Yes," Suning glanced at the pill recipes and handed them back:
"Take it back. We will discuss the specific assessment content and will notify you later. However, since you are the descendants of the alchemy, you should still have the ability to refine alchemy."
The old man nodded confidently and immediately said, "But the material..."
"Besides." Suning said lightly. He had already had some ideas, but he still needed to make sure. He raised his hand and threw a jade talisman over, and he waved his hand.
The gray fog space collapsed, and he took the two of them back to reality and explained the use of the jade talisman. At this moment, he suddenly sensed something, glanced outside the store, and said:
"That's it. I still have something to do. You guys wait for the subsequent notification."
After saying that, he used his illusion, wiped away his existence, left the house, leaving only his grandparents and grandchildren, watching Suning disappear in front of him in surprise.
Tonight is destined to be a night that cannot fall asleep.
...
...
Outside Zhicaotang, Suning suddenly appeared, his eyes locked at the entrance of the alley, and saw that under the street lights, black and special license plate cars were coming.
When you look in, you can see the gray windbreaker uniform in the car.
"It's true." Suning was not surprised.
To be continued...
