440: Open

"Slacking off"?

Dragon Xuan was greatly shocked upon hearing this.

Coming back to his senses, he shook his head, finding it hard to accept: "Abandoning Martial Arts, eating, drinking, and having fun, would that still be me?"

"These so-called 'slacking off' people are all guys I despise!"

"Moreover, if I truly become that kind of rotten, decadent person, how can I live up to the high expectations of Father and the Gaopeng Family?"

"Child, this isn't being a rotten person."

Ye Tian got up and stretched: "You have to think, your 'slacking off' is going against Heaven's will, this is an act against Heaven!"

"With such a great mission on your shoulders, can't you even endure a few harmless jeers and taunts from others?"

"Besides, your action is also protecting the Dragon Family, protecting your relatives and friends."

"Do you want to see other Family members experience the regret of being unable to save them, just like your mother?"

After Ye Tian's words were spoken, his figure, carrying the divination flag, gradually disappeared with the heavy rain.

Hearing this, Dragon Xuan stared blankly.

Yes.

According to the person before him's calculation, a hundred years from now, he would be strong enough to pull the sinking Great Yong Continent back above the sea surface.

But what of it?

That path of becoming a saint alone, a path where eventually there is no one left by your side, how desolate and cold is that?

The path of a strong person built upon Family and friends...

This is not what he wants...

Compared to that, he would rather the Dragon Family be passed down through generations, safe and sound.

The sky cleared, sunlight poured down, and Dragon Xuan, having understood these things, finally couldn't hold on and fainted on the ground.

...

A bitter taste on his lips.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

Dragon Xuan found that he was lying in his own room.

And the bitter taste in his mouth was clearly the medicine the maidservant beside him had fed him.

"Master, you're awake?

I'll call the Lord."

The maidservant put the medicine bowl aside and quickly walked towards outside the room.

Before long, Dragon Xian brought several uncles and a White-Haired Old Man with a youthful face into the room.

"Xuan'er, how are you?"

Dragon Xian sat by the bed, sighing as he spoke: "Since your mother has passed away, you should take even better care of your body."

"With your body full of injuries, you still ran around like this."

Dragon Xian said, looking at the White-Haired Old Man with a youthful face and immortal bearing beside him: "If Cultivator Li hadn't happened to meet you and bring you to the Dragon Family, I really wouldn't dare to imagine what would have happened if you had fainted on that street."

Cultivator Li?

Dragon Xuan turned his head to look; this White-Haired Old Man was very eye-catching.

Dragon Xuan had noticed him the moment he entered the room.

The aura naturally emanating from him was completely different from those Spirit Realm Cultivators within the clan, as if he was on a higher level!

"How do you feel, young friend?

Although this old man's healing methods aren't considered very advanced, they should have stabilized your injuries and not damaged your Foundation, right?"

The White-Haired Old Man, called Cultivator Li, stroked his long beard, his eyes full of kindness.

Hearing this, Dragon Xuan sensed his physical condition; it was indeed quite good.

"I'm fine."

"It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."

Dragon Xian and some uncles behind him nodded one after another.

Afterwards, Dragon Xian cleared his throat: "Xuan'er, actually, we just discussed something about you."

Dragon Xuan looked at his Father with a slight hint of doubt.

Then, Dragon Xian turned to Dragon Xuan and gestured towards the White-Haired Old Man with a youthful face, saying: "This Cultivator Li thinks your Aptitude, Xuan'er, is very good, and he really wants to take you as his ""Tu""."

"Cultivator Li is a super expert in the Life Tribulation Realm!

In terms of Realm, he's only slightly inferior to our Dragon Family's Old Ancestor!"

"We think this is a good thing."

"It's perfect, after taking him as your Master, you can also use this time to go out and gain experience with Cultivator Li, and come back next year at this time to offer incense to your mother, how about that?"

"Taking a Master..."

Dragon Xuan looked at the kindly smiling White-Haired Old Man behind Dragon Xian.

"Why take a Master?"

"Why take a Master?"

Hearing Dragon Xuan's words, the expressions of the people in the room became a bit strange.

"You foolish Child, of course it's to become stronger!"

An uncle laughed out loud.

"Then why become stronger?"

Dragon Xuan turned his head and asked.

"Uh..."

The surrounding uncles and Dragon Xian, including Cultivator Li, were momentarily speechless: "Does becoming stronger need a reason?

Don't people all pursue the path of a strong person?"

"No reason to become stronger?"

Dragon Xuan narrowed his eyes: "But I have a reason not to become stronger."

"I don't want to take a Master, and I don't want to become stronger."

After speaking, Dragon Xuan turned over, got up, and walked straight out of the room.

"This Child!"

Dragon Xian's brows furrowed tightly.

He looked at the White-Haired Old Man beside him, a placating smile on his face: "Cultivator Li, please don't be angry, this Child must be too devastated by his mother's passing, I'll go persuade him again."

"Hahaha, no matter, no matter, this Child's personality, this old man likes it very much!"

Cultivator Li waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

...

On the other side.

After Dragon Xuan left the room, he wandered out of the Dragon Family.

While aimlessly walking on the street, he somehow ended up in a courtyard.

"You've been coming quite often recently."

The night was enchanting, the sky full of stars, and Su Xuan's voice came from the rooftop.

Dragon Xuan looked up and saw that the other person was currently sitting cross-legged in meditation, cultivating Soul-level Martial Arts.

This state of constant Cultivation.

If it were before, when Dragon Xuan saw this, his heart would definitely be driven to the extreme by urgency.

But now, he let out a breath of stagnant air.

It was like the tall mountain he had determined to climb before him had turned into a distant landscape.

The mindset of appreciation allowed him to finally catch his breath.

Turning over and climbing up, stepping on the tiles, Dragon Xuan sat beside Su Xuan.

"Where's your medicine jar?"

Dragon Xuan lay lazily on the rooftop, looking at the brilliant night sky above him.

Su Xuan, puzzled, took out a jar of medicine from his Storage Bags: "You want to eat it?"

As soon as he asked, Dragon Xuan grabbed a handful of medicine from the jar and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Hiss, are you crazy?

Eating like this, you don't want the Foundation you've honed for so many years?!"

Su Xuan was greatly puzzled.

However, Dragon Xuan's next sentence led him astray again.

"It does taste good, better than the malt candy on the street outside."

"Hehehe, right?"

Su Xuan grinned, pleased with the praise: "Let me tell you, I've been developing this flavor for a long time!"

"It's just that no one eats it with me."

"Besides this sugary one, there are also pork flavor, beef flavor, and chicken flavor ones, want to try?"

Dragon Xuan nodded, opening his hand.

After a while.

"Burp~"

Dragon Xuan let out a long, satisfied burp.

At the same time, a muffled sound erupted within him, and his Realm directly rose by one level under the accumulation of the medicine!

He stepped into the final stage of the Body Realm, the Casting Platform Realm!

It's just that this Realm, if a strong person saw it, they would realize it was too superficial!

It was clearly not cultivated step by step.

Destined not to go far!

"Are you alright?"

No matter how thick-skinned Su Xuan was, he also noticed something was wrong.

Dragon Xuan waved his hand: "I won't challenge you anymore in the future, just reminisce and chat."

Having said that, Dragon Xuan turned and returned to the Dragon Family.

The moment he stepped into the courtyard, Dragon Xian walked forward with a stern face: "Where did you go?

Do you know that Cultivator Li is a distinguished guest?

He stayed in our Dragon Family for so long just for you, but you, on the other hand, ran around everywhere, completely disregarding him!"

"Hehehe, Brother Dragon Xian is exaggerating, this old man is just a passerby, how could I be a distinguished guest."

From behind, Cultivator Li walked over slowly, laughing heartily.

However.

When he came closer and saw Dragon Xuan for the first time, the smile on his face froze instantly.

He frowned and placed his hand on Dragon Xuan's shoulder.

And as he probed deeper into the condition within his body, Cultivator Li's expression instantly sank: "Qi and blood are superficial, Foundation is hollow, what did you do in one afternoon?"

"Or did someone do something to you?!"

"His excellent Foundation is completely ruined!"

"What?

His Foundation is ruined?!"

Dragon Xian walked forward in panic.

His Realm wasn't high, but he also knew how to take a pulse and observe Qi and blood.

When he probed the superficial Qi and blood within Dragon Xuan's body, he was suddenly startled: "What happened!

Xuan'er, what did you do?!"

As he spoke, Dragon Xian looked at the White-Haired Old Man beside him: "Cultivator Li, this, what should we do about this?

Is there any way to salvage this situation?!"

"You are Xuan'er's Master, you must know what to do, right?"

"Hmph!"

Cultivator Li flicked his sleeve: "This old man did not agree to take him as his ""Tu""."

"With Qi and blood this superficial, with no Foundation at all, how can such a Child be worthy of becoming this old man's Disciple."

"Wasting time."

Having said that, Cultivator Li left directly.

If it weren't for his apprehension of the strong person in the Dragon Family's Life and Death Jie Realm, he would have already unleashed his fury!

And when Cultivator Li left.

In the void, several deeply hidden Life Tribulation Realm experts also secretly followed.

"Leader, this person surnamed Li knows the location of that thing, but it's probably impossible to pry it out of him."

"That Child below is his ""Tu"", should we find a way to tie him up and threaten him to reveal where the thing is?"

A Man, called the Leader, swept his gaze from beneath his mask over Dragon Xuan below.

"Didn't you hear?

That old fellow doesn't think highly of this Child at all."

"Capture him?

It would be completely useless and would provoke the Dragon Family, not worth the gain."

The Leader shook his head and, taking the others with him, continued to follow Cultivator Li.
