Chapter 17: Parents' Transfer Order, the Whole Family to Heaven Dou City?
Qian Renxue had left, and Lingxu felt as if he had lost something.
In his past life, Qian Renxue was merely a fictional character in novels and anime; viewing her from a third-party perspective, perhaps he hadn't felt much.
At most, there was only some emotion and resonance.
But when you truly integrate into it, you realize it is not like that; being in the midst of it is no longer the third-party perspective from before.
In anime, if you can't see something, you can replay it to watch it a few more times, or even pause it, or use a magnifying glass to watch it slowly, but in reality, there is almost no chance to redo or pause like that.
Lingxu watched the back that had not yet completely disappeared.
"Xue'er, don't cry. Later, when Brother is strong, I will definitely protect you well."
Lingxu roared loudly; Qian Renxue seemed not to want Lingxu to see her too sad, so she quickened her pace instead, and soon disappeared from Lingxu's sight.
Why did Lingxu say he wanted to be strong?
That is because he is not yet qualified.
What is the point of talking about protection when you are weak?
That is all just to fool children.
Isn't that how Tang San fooled Xiao Wu?
If someone wants to harm you, they must first walk over my corpse.
How damn hypocritical!
Lingxu will not be that kind of person; to protect, one must have strength.
If you don't have strength, you can only manage to guard but not protect, so what is the use of that?
Turning back, Lingxu looked at his parents and said, "Dad, Mom, when we have time in the evening, let's spar together. I want to improve myself through a large amount of combat."
Cultivation is not just soul power; it also requires comprehensive combat to stimulate one's own potential.
Looking at their somewhat sad son, Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue did not say much, only nodding to show their agreement.
And for the next nearly one month, Lingxu was even more diligent than before.
He got up in the morning to continue weight-bearing exercises, and after finishing, he began soul power cultivation and the cultivation of the Breath Concealment Technique.
Previously, Lingxu knew Qian Renxue was leaving, so he gave his system's one-time opportunity for instant mastery to Qian Renxue, while he needed to learn from the very basics.
Fortunately, his comprehension ability was good; he soon entered the door, and now he is also approaching minor success.
In this less than a month of cultivation, the results of Lingxu's cultivation were quite good.
Lingxu's soul power successfully increased by another level, reaching level thirty-four; of course, this also included the accumulation from the first half of the year, as he had only increased by one level in the previous half-year.
The reason it was so slow was mainly because Qian Renxue was not there.
Lingxu could not receive system tasks, and without tasks, he had no rewards.
Naturally, increasing soul power was not as fast as the previous two years, reaching a slightly normal level.
Recently, Lingxu had been thinking about how to get himself to Heaven Dou City.
Only by going to Heaven Dou City could he get close to Qian Renxue, and then have the opportunity to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to obtain Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs.
At night, when Lingxu was cultivating in his room, his breathing suddenly became rapid.
It was as if something was shrouding him; this aura was very special, and Lingxu had experienced it more than two years ago.
At that moment, his memory was still fresh.
Could it be that she was not yet prepared to let him go?
However, in the very next moment, this aura disappeared again.
What followed was not the person from more than two years ago, but the voice of Qian Daoliu.
"Lingxu, Ling Bufan, and Luo Xingyue, all of you come out!"
Lingxu immediately dressed neatly and rushed out of the room quickly.
Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue also followed him out the door and arrived at the small courtyard of their home.
Qian Daoliu was already standing in the courtyard.
Lingxu said, "Qian Yeye, is there news about Xue'er?"
"Greetings, Grand Pontiff. Visiting late at night, I wonder what the matter is?" Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue spoke at the same time.
Facing Lingxu's inquiry, Qian Daoliu did not answer, but instead looked at Lingxu's parents.
"Ling Bufan, Luo Xingyue, I have come here to notify you that I am preparing to change your positions in the Spirit Hall."
"In the next three days, you will handle the handover, and after the handover is complete, you will go to Heaven Dou City; Ling Bufan will serve as the Deputy Hall Master of the Spirit Hall Branch in Heaven Dou City."
"As for Luo Xingyue, you will serve as the Captain of the Deacons of the Spirit Hall Branch in Heaven Dou City!"
"Come find me before you leave; I have a special task to entrust to you."
Finally, Qian Daoliu looked at Lingxu and said, "You go along too; staying in Wuhun City might restrict your development. Going out to venture might be better."
"Yes, Grand Pontiff! We accept the order!" Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue responded simultaneously.
According to their current positions in Wuhun City, they could even serve as the Hall Master of a Spirit Hall Branch.
But in Heaven Dou City, there was still a Platinum Bishop, Salas, whose status was above Ling Bufan's Red Bishop, second only to the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the Consecrated, and the Title Douluo-level Elders.
Salas was also slightly higher in soul power than Ling Bufan, so there was nothing wrong with being under his command.
Moreover, in Heaven Dou City, the degree of freedom in life was higher, and it was far less dangerous than in Wuhun City.
"Thank you, Qian Yeye." Lingxu also spoke to express his gratitude.
Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue did not understand such a move, but Lingxu, who knew everything, understood; after all, Qian Renxue was in Heaven Dou City.
As for the special task, Lingxu could also guess a little; it should be related to Qian Renxue.
For example, if there were an emergency, his parents would mostly likely have to participate.
"Alright, you all rest." Qian Daoliu turned around and was about to leave.
Lingxu deliberately asked, "Qian Yeye, what about Xue'er! Is there any news about her?"
If one doesn't ask, that would be the real problem.
He could not let Qian Daoliu feel that he already knew Qian Renxue had gone to Heaven Dou City; it would be best to let Qian Daoliu tell him himself.
Qian Daoliu paused slightly, then vanished, and although he did not speak clearly, he left a voice transmission in Lingxu's mind.
"Go to Heaven Dou City to find the answer; regarding Xiaoxue, everything about her must be kept secret."
"Remember this, remember this!"
Watching the direction in which Qian Daoliu disappeared, Lingxu nodded and said nothing more.
【Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering a system quest: appear before Qian Renxue within one month to give her a surprise. Quest rewards: Rare Herb Compendium, Myriad Poison Spirit Soul *1】
The silent system seemed to have come back to life, and this time there were actually two rewards.
Looking at the system's light screen, the Rare Herb Compendium covers all Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, including all information on their planting, cultivation, harvesting, and consumption.
And the Myriad Poison Spirit Soul is also extremely precious; after consuming it, one can obtain a physique that is immune to all poisons.
Aren't these two rewards exactly what Lingxu needs?
Although he cannot increase his soul power for the time being, with this, he has the capital to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Dad, Mom, you two go be busy for these three days; I am going to seclude myself to cultivate for three days," Lingxu said.
Ling Bufan said, "Son, of course you can, but you must also pay attention to moderation when cultivating; when it is time to rest, you must still rest."
Lingxu nodded and said, "Dad, I know, don't worry, I'm going now."
After speaking, Lingxu went to find dry rations and prepare water in the house!
Watching Lingxu's nimble movements, Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue both shook their heads helplessly.
He said he knew, but in reality, he was still working so hard.
After Lingxu was prepared, he came to the cultivation room.
After closing the door tightly, Lingxu sat cross-legged and then took out the gift Qian Renxue gave him, the Spirit Wisdom Skull; at first, he hadn't looked at it too carefully, only knowing it was a soul bone of over fifty thousand years of good quality.
But after his research during this period, he discovered that this soul bone should have an age of eighty thousand years.
Although he is a transmigrator, Lingxu would not deliberately refrain from using it just to wait for a hundred-thousand-year one later.
To him, eighty thousand years is enough, and the help in the early stages will definitely be significant.
Not only can it increase his Mental Power, but he can also gain an extra Spirit Bone Skill, which might be a life-saving skill at a critical moment.
