Chapter 971: No Voice Required

That night, Xiao Mian stayed overnight at Liu Zhigang's house.

Drinking the chicken soup brought by Liu Zhigang and listening to Liu Zhigang's story about the past years, Xiao Mian said nothing, just sat there quietly with his head down.

After a long time, Xiao Mian raised his head.

But he saw Liu Zhigang standing in front of him with his hands down respectfully, while Hu Sheng was secretly drinking the chicken soup and occasionally stealing a glance at him...

After taking a look at Liu Zhigang, Xiao Mian used his spiritual eyes to think.

"Your shoulder seems to have been injured?"

"Senior, your eyes are sharp!" With a shocked look on his face, Liu Zhigang ordered Hu Sheng to carry the chicken soup out of the room, and then he said to Xiao Mian kindly: "Speaking of this shoulder injury, it's been a few years..."

At that moment, Liu Zhigang told Xiao Mian about an accident that happened several years ago.

About seven years ago, Liu Zhigang was patrolling in the mountains when he suddenly heard a tiger roar. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the tiger was devouring a baby.

In shock, Liu Zhigang rushed forward without hesitation.

The tiger looked ordinary, but it was a second-level monster, a white-browed tiger. It was easy for Xiao Mian to catch it, but for Liu Zhigang, who was at the high level of the foundation-building period, it was also a formidable enemy that could not be underestimated. After a desperate fight, Liu Zhigang managed to kill the white-browed tiger, but the baby had been swallowed by the white-browed tiger.

Unexpectedly, just when Liu Zhigang was discouraged, a loud cry came from the white-browed tiger's belly...

Liu Zhigang held a glimmer of luck and dug open the white-browed tiger's belly.

Only then did he discover that the baby swallowed by the white-browed tiger was actually alive!

At that moment, Liu Zhigang took the baby home and took good care of him...

"Is that Husheng?"

"Yes! I am alone and unmarried. Husheng is my adopted son! As for this shoulder injury, it was accidentally caused when I fought that beast."

"Brother Liu is kind-hearted. I admire you!"

"Senior, please don't say that. It's really embarrassing..."

As Liu Zhigang said this, Xiao Mian had already stood up and grabbed Liu Zhigang's right wrist. While Liu Zhigang was confused, Xiao Mian poured his true energy into Liu Zhigang's body and ran it towards his injured shoulder.

The violent true energy that was once like a flood and beast, after entering Liu Zhigang's body, was like a trickle, which made Liu Zhigang feel comfortable all over.

Suddenly, Liu Zhigang was shocked, and then looked at Xiao Mian with disbelief.

Just now, Xiao Mian used his strong true energy to disperse the heavy injury accumulated in Liu Zhigang's shoulder, almost healing Liu Zhigang's old injury.

Xiao Mian smiled slightly, but did not say much. Instead, he took out a bottle of elixir. After thinking for a while, he took out another porcelain bottle and handed it to Liu Zhigang.

"Brother Liu! These two porcelain bottles are just a little gift from me. I hope you will give them to me!"

"This..., thank you, senior!"

After accepting the two porcelain bottles, Liu Zhigang left the room with a happy face.

He did not think about how precious Xiao Mian could give him. As long as Xiao Mian cured his heavy injury, it would be enough to make him ecstatic.

If there was no heavy injury in his shoulder, Liu Zhigang would have entered the top stage of the foundation-building period long ago!

Seeing Liu Zhigang walk out of the room, Xiao Mian put away his smile.

This Liu Zhigang is kind-hearted, which is rare - or in other words, after leaving the cultivation world, among the many ordinary people, those with pure and kind character account for the majority after all.

On the contrary, in the cultivation world, people's hearts are sinister and the world is going downhill...

What really worries Xiao Mian is Tuoba Lan.

According to Liu Zhigang's previous description, Tuoba Lan appeared under the big locust tree in the village eight years ago - this time just coincides!

After waking up, Tuoba Lan forgot his past.

After that, he settled down in the big locust village.

Thanks to the simplicity of the mountain people, Tuoba Lan was helped from time to time, which allowed him to get through the initial difficult period.

Afterwards, Tuoba Lan regained his spirits and finally found a way to make a living in the big locust village with the ability to read and write in paragraphs that he had never forgotten in his memory.

He was a teacher for eight years!

For eight years, Tuoba Lan could not remember who he was.

For eight years, Tuoba Lan forgot the way of cultivation.

In eight years, a Jindan cultivator was turned into a teacher.

In eight years, a lonely and arrogant cultivator was turned into a wasted scholar.

For Xiao Mian, eight years allowed him to break through from the initial stage of Jindan to the advanced stage of Jindan, and allowed him to travel from Xishuzhou to Yinshang Realm, broaden his horizons, make him famous, make him wealthy, and make him superior to Jindan cultivators.

But for Tuoba Lan, eight years wasted everything...

"Alas..."

A light sigh revealed Xiao Mian's endless fatigue...

If possible, Xiao Mian would give everything to let Tuoba Lan restart the road.

But now Xiao Mian is alone, even if he wants to discuss something with Guitou, it is in vain.

After sorting out his thoughts, Xiao Mian took out a pot of spiritual wine from the white jade flying pendant.

That night, Xiao Mian, who has always been strict with himself, got drunk for a rare time.

The next morning, Xiao Mian was full of energy again - whether for himself, Tuoba Lan, or even Nanyuezhou, Xiao Mian had to stay sober!

After encountering Tuoba Lan, Xiao Mian had some insights.

The idea of ​​going to Yanshi City to make a comeback has gradually faded. Even if I can get one more treasure, can Tuoba Lan recover?

Although he remained awake, Xiao Mian did not want to think about those intrigues.

Xiao Mian sat quietly under the big locust tree for a whole day, watching how Tuoba Lan taught the children in the mountain village, watching how the villagers of the big locust village worked from sunrise to sunset, watching how Hu Sheng and other children played and frolicked, watching the sun rise and set...

One day like this, two days like this, three days like this...

For nine days and nine nights, Xiao Mian did not move.

Xiao Mian unexpectedly entered the state of enlightenment!

If Liu Zhigang had not realized that Xiao Mian might have entered the legendary state of enlightenment, and stopped the villagers from waking Xiao Mian up, Xiao Mian would probably not be able to be quiet.

After nine days, Xiao Mian suddenly became clear.

If you want to improve your strength as soon as possible, you must get more natural treasures; to get those treasures, you must fight with people like Thunder God; fighting with people like Thunder God will inevitably cause some damage; if you want to avoid damage, if you want to protect yourself and the people around you, you must constantly strengthen your strength...

At first glance, this is clearly a vicious circle!

In fact, it is not. This is a gradual process.

Understanding this point, Xiao Mian's heart knot about his previous many tricks and robberies was relieved a little, and it also strengthened Xiao Mian's confidence in seizing treasures in the future.

But at this moment, Xiao Mian's expression changed.

"Tsk! After nine days of enlightenment, you can come up with such a perverse theory? Look at Jing Chu, who has condensed the sword heart after a moment of enlightenment! Look at you!"

"Ghost Master!? Have you come out of retreat?"

"Hmph! If I don't come out of retreat, you may get stuck in a dead end again!"

"That's right! The matter of Tuoba..." At that moment, Xiao Mian told the whole situation of Tuoba Lan, hoping to get Guitou's advice. After listening to Xiao Mian's words, Guitou was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "I used to look down on Tuoba, but now it seems that even I, who is so wise and brave, can make mistakes..."

"Don't blame yourself! Just help me make a decision!"

"Is it so easy to cure the loss of the activity of the golden elixir?" Guitou's words made Xiao Mian feel heavy, but he still heard some hope. After all, Guitou meant that it was difficult to cure, not impossible to cure. Sure enough, he heard Guitou continue to say: "If it were in my era, when encountering this situation, most people would discard the elixir and start over!

"Discard the elixir and start over?"

"Do you remember how you embarked on this broad road?"

"Gui Lao said-Hua Dao Dan? No! You mean..."

"Xiao Jin Wan!"

Xiao Jin Wan, a strange elixir, has the function of melting the golden elixir!

Guitou's meaning was naturally to let Xiao Mian find the Xiao Jin Wan and let Tuoba Lan take it to melt the loss of activity in his body and start practicing again.

"This... I'm afraid it's very difficult! "

"It is very difficult! You must know that in my era, it only takes ten years for a normal cultivator to cultivate to the Golden Core realm. Once the grade of the Golden Core is wrong, or the Golden Core is broken and cannot be saved, you can take the Gold-Smelling Pill in time and start over!"

"But Tuoba is already over a hundred years old. In addition, he has been wasted for eight years and his body has deteriorated to this point. If he cultivates again, I am afraid he..."

Xiao Mian is afraid that he will die before he even builds his foundation!

While frowning, Xiao Mian's expression suddenly changed.

"Wait! What did you say just now, Ghost Master?"

"Gold-Smelling Pill!"

"No! What about the latter? You said that the cultivators of your time would also take the Gold-Smelling Pill if their Golden Core was broken and could not be saved?"

"Yes... yes! Is there a problem?"

After being asked by Xiao Mian, Gui Tou felt a little guilty.

"Huh..., please let Ghost Master enter my body and observe my Golden Core!"

"..., show off! Isn't it just a super-quality golden elixir? Are you showing off again? "Having said that, Guitou still probed his spiritual sense into Xiao Mian's Dantian and observed the seven-colored glazed golden elixir. After watching it for a long time, he muttered unhappily: "Stinking show-off!"

"Ghost Master! Didn't you notice that my golden elixir was broken?"

"Ah!?" After a cry of surprise, Guitou observed the golden elixir with his spiritual sense again, but after watching it for a long time, he still didn't see anything wrong. Just when Guitou thought Xiao Mian was fooling him, Xiao Mian told him about Yu Weinian's self-destruction of the Nascent Soul. At the end, he tentatively asked: "Ghost Master! If I have a way to restore the broken golden elixir, can I use the same method to treat Tuoba?"

"..."

"Ghost Master?"

"..."

"Ghost Master!"

"What the hell!" Being forced into a hurry by Xiao Mian, Guitou, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly cursed: "Fuck him! What kind of world is this?! I don't want to play anymore! I don't want to play anymore! I'm talking about the pills of immortality, and you're talking to me about the water of immortality? Do you want to fight me when I'm talking to you about reason? "

"..."

This time, it was Xiao Mian's turn to be silent...
