Chapter 287: One-Sided Wish

Early the next morning, Xiao Mian appeared in front of the Jade Hoe Ancestor.

"I met my senior for the first time last night. I was so excited that I forgot to return this intact piece to Zhao. I hope my ancestor will pay attention to it!" As he spoke, Xiao Mian took the purple-gold jujube in his hand and placed it respectfully on the jade hoe. On the table in front of the ancestor, he took three steps back. The Jade Hoe Ancestor's somewhat cloudy gaze swept across the Zijin Zao, and a glimmer of light flashed unconsciously. He quickly glanced at Xiao Mian and chuckled: "Taking this thing alive can extend your life by ten years, boy." Why did you take it out and give it to the old man?"

"This kid is only over 20 years old this year. If nothing unexpected happens, he still has more than two hundred years of life. If he is lucky enough to form an elixir, he will not have to worry about his lifespan within five hundred years. My ancestor, your life span is about to end. If you can live in these ten years, If you discover the mystery in the middle of the year and advance to the intermediate level of Nascent Soul, won't you be able to live longer for a hundred years? By then, who will dare to covet the status of one of the nine major sects of the Nong Family? I'm afraid the Bai family will have to worry about it!"

Xiao Mian's words, which were extremely bewitching, were met with ridicule by the Jade Hoe Ancestor, and then he shook his head and laughed suddenly.

"You're so funny! Haha... I'm laughing so hard..." Pointing at Xiao Mian not far away, the Jade Hoe Ancestor said with a smile: "In ten years, you have discovered the mystery and advanced to the intermediate level of Nascent Soul? Boy?" , if this is the case, your purple golden date is too valuable, right? If you want to create a middle-level ancestor of Nascent Soul in ten years, don't you think too lightly of Shang Xiucai and the others? For me, it is already a blessing to be able to congeal the infant. How can I dare to hope for the intermediate level of the Nascent Soul? Ha... Only a newborn calf like you dares to have such an idea..."

Although the Jade Hoe Ancestor was full of laughter in his words, he revealed an indescribable melancholy and unwillingness, which made Xiao Mian not know how to respond.

"Since this thing is of little use to you, old man, I will accept it shamelessly." The conversation changed and the Jade Hoe Ancestor pinched the purple golden date. Just when Xiao Mian couldn't help but want to give the other party a thumbs up, the jade hoe ancestor However, Patriarch Hoe handed the purple-gold dates to Ding Kaishan, who was standing by, and said in a humorous manner: "Kaishan, you can take care of this thing!"

"This..., Master, won't you take it?"

When Ding Kaishan originally saw Xiao Mian taking the initiative to offer the Purple Golden Dates to the Jade Hoe Ancestor, Ding Kaishan secretly praised Xiao Mian for his worldly sophistication. Now when he heard that the Jade Hoe Ancestor did not intend to take the Purple Golden Dates, but instead let him cultivate them himself. Ding Kaishan couldn't help but asked in shock. You know, it was a coincidence that Ding Kaishan got this purple jujube. For this reason, he spent almost all his savings in order to earn back ten years of life for the ancestor of the jade hoe. Even for this purple-gold jujube, Ding Kaishan even provoked Qi Baiyi to pursue him. If Xiao Mian hadn't met him at the right moment, Ding Kaishan would have become Qi Baiyi's target.

Unexpectedly, the Jade Hoe Ancestor is unwilling to take Zijin Zao.

"You don't understand!" Shaking his head and looking at Xiao Mian again, the Jade Hoe Ancestor explained: "It is impossible for me to advance to the intermediate level of Nascent Soul in ten years! The cultivation methods of monks in the Nascent Soul stage and You monks in the foundation-building stage are completely different, and the cultivation of true energy and the cultivation of true energy are also very different. It is not possible to break through with enough time. What's more, judging from my current situation, I already have enough realm and experience, so I have been stuck. Yu Yuanying’s inability to advance to the first level is mainly due to the true essence!”

Saying this, the Jade Hoe Ancestor gave Xiao Mian a meaningful look. Seeing Xiao Mian listening intently, the Jade Hoe Ancestor nodded slightly and spoke frankly.

"All of this starts with my spiritual root qualifications. Maybe you don't know, right? The old man's spiritual root qualifications are terrible. They are neither heaven spiritual roots nor earth spiritual roots, but human spiritual roots of the three elements of earth, water, and wood. , Even forming pills was very difficult at first, but the old man had a great opportunity back then, and he was lucky enough to get this jade hoe..." At this point, the jade hoe ancestor touched the jade hoe on his waist with pity, It was as if he was caressing his own child, and after a while he continued: "It was only with the help of this jade hoe that the old man was lucky enough to survive the thunderstorm and successfully congeal the baby. But if you want to go further, it will be even more difficult. , the three spiritual roots of earth, water, and wood are the weak points!”

"But the ancestor's true energy has different attributes and cannot work together to hit the bottleneck of the mid-level Nascent Soul?"

Xiao Mian asked tentatively. After all, with his spiritual roots of all five elements, he might encounter similar problems in the future. Therefore, he listened more carefully than Ding Kaishan.

"That's one of them! The other problem is that wood overcomes earth and earth overcomes water. The three elements of true energy in the old man's body, let alone working together, are simply like water and fire. If the old man has a single-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root, even if It is a dual-attribute earth spirit root, and it will also try to hit the bottleneck of the mid-level Nascent Soul, but now..., hey!"

Although the Jade Hoe Ancestor's words stopped abruptly, Xiao Mian and Ding Kaishan were speechless.

Wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, and the spiritual root qualifications of the Jade Hoe Ancestor are really not that bad. If he rushes into the bottleneck, the three different attributes of the true essence cannot cooperate together, and I am afraid that they will collide with each other if they are slightly contaminated. Let's start a rebellion in the nest.

No wonder the Jade Hoe Ancestor is so negative about whether he can advance to the intermediate level of Nascent Soul. He is not even willing to waste the purple golden dates, but wants to leave them to future generations.

"Of course, the more important thing is: this purple golden date, the old man has already taken no less than three! Even if he takes this purple golden date, the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced, and the life span that can be increased will be greatly reduced. Isn't it a waste of this purple golden date?" After revealing the whole story, the old ancestor Yu Chu said to himself with great enthusiasm: "But don't worry! Even without the purple golden date, the old man will have no problem lingering for ten or eight years. During this period, even if the ancestor of the Bai family comes to the door, as long as he has not achieved the Nascent Soul Great Monk, the old man is not afraid of him!"

The words of the old ancestor Yu Chu finally made Xiao Mian regain some confidence to fight against the Bai family. Otherwise, if the old ancestor Yu Chu died tomorrow, no one could save the Nong family!

As long as the old ancestor Yu Chu is not dead, unless the Bai family sends out the old ancestor who is said to be impacting the high-level realm of the Nascent Soul, and fights with the Nong family to the death, otherwise, the Nong family will not be defeated. And considering the situation that the Bai family is now sure of victory, they will definitely not let the Bai family ancestor take the risk to fight with the Yuchu ancestor.

One is the Bai family ancestor who is expected to reach the high level of the Nascent Soul, and the other is the Yuchu ancestor who is about to die. If the latter fights desperately, even if he cannot kill the Bai family ancestor, he will definitely be able to injure the other party, and even cut off the other party's hope of advancing to the high level.

Moreover, the Bai family still has the trump card of Li Qingping, so why fight to the death?

The room for mediation that Xiao Mian can currently have is that the Bai family dare not start a war lightly.

Since the Bai family wants to use Li Qingping to annex the Nongjialiu without bloodshed, Xiao Mian decided to use Li Qingping's relationship to counterattack the Bai family.

But before that, Xiao Mian must get in touch with Li Qingping, otherwise even if Xiao Mian has enough evidence to change Li Qingping's mind, it will be useless.

When Xiao Mian expressed his thoughts, Yuchu ancestor and Ding Kaishan frowned.

"If you want to see Junior Sister Li, it may be a little difficult..."

"What? Could it be that the Bai family dares to put Miss Li Qingping under house arrest?"

"How could it be! If they really dared to do so, it would be fine. The old man would have broken down the gate of the Bai family and asked for her. But..., hey!" Halfway through his words, the old ancestor Yu Chu sighed helplessly, and Ding Kaishan had to continue: "Junior Sister Li and Bai Jintang, the eldest son of the Bai family, have been childhood sweethearts. She has always obeyed Bai Jintang's orders and obeyed the beast in human clothing of the Bai family. She has long lived in the Bai family mansion. In addition, now that her wedding date with Bai Jintang is approaching, she has never left the house, waiting to become her eldest young lady of the Bai family!"

Ding Kaishan was quite indignant during his words, and it was obvious that he had some complaints about Li Qingping.

Xiao Mian was also stunned when he heard this. Although he had long known that Li Qingping was in love with Bai Jintang, he did not expect that Li Qingping was obsessed with Bai Jintang to this extent. It seems that it is quite tricky to get in touch with Li Qingping. Of course, what made Xiao Mian even more upset was that if Li Qingping was really devoted to Bai Jintang, even if he took out Li Mudao's last words, it might not necessarily change Li Qingping's mind, right?

Unless... Bai Jintang died, or did something that made Li Qingping heartbroken!

As soon as this thought came up, even Xiao Mian himself was shocked: he, a mere foundation-building cultivator, actually began to plot against a powerful Jindan!

Shaking his head and getting rid of the unrealistic fantasy, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly: It seems that I had taken Wan Zongyuan's party too lightly before!

However, Xiao Mian was not a stubborn person. In addition, what was swallowed up by the Bai family was only the Nongjialiu, not the Five Elements Sect. To put it another way, even when the Five Elements Sect suffered a disaster of extermination, Xiao Mian never retreated, but he did not have the consciousness of coexisting with the sect. If the Nong Family was really swallowed up by the Bai Family in the end, Xiao Mian would be unhappy, but it would not be a major blow.

Therefore, although Xiao Mian was very enthusiastic about helping the Nong Family fight against the Bai Family, it was not a desperate battle in terms of fighting spirit.

If it was possible, the Bai Family would naturally be hit; if it was not possible, Xiao Mian would not be stupid enough to jump into it.

If the Nong Family was destroyed, it was destroyed. What did it have to do with Xiao Mian?

As for Li Mudao, Xiao Mian could only do his best...

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian's gloom was relieved a lot.
