Chapter 1721 There Is No Free Lunch in the World!
Chen Xuan seemed to have completely lost all thoughts at this time, because at this time, the blueprint of Jia Lan suddenly burned to ashes. Chen Xuan just looked at Jialantu with cold eyes, waiting for the truth to slowly emerge.
At this time, Chen Xuan felt that a phantom appeared in the blueprint. He was wearing a white robe and had a calm and profound look on his face. Then there seemed to be a bit of murderous aura on his face.
The old man in white robe glanced at Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan also looked at the old man in white robe, sizing him up like this. Chen Xuan was actually testing the strength of the old man in white robe. Of course, the old man in white robe was also testing Chen Xuan's strength at this time.
However, Chen Xuan found that this white-robed old man was really unfathomable. Chen Xuan felt that his mental energy was circulating like a torrential river and would never be exhausted.
who is he?
Chen Xuan couldn't help but ask in his heart, and the old man in white robe seemed to have seen Chen Xuan's detection and evaluation of him. He didn't answer, just looked at Chen Xuan with a playful expression.
Just like looking at an ugly person, Chen Xuan certainly felt his gaze. But there was no anger in Chen Xuan's eyes, which made the old man in white robe sigh secretly.
With such strength, his state of mind is quite high. At such an age, with such similar strength, his talent is considered to be excellent. There's just one last thing missing.
The old man in white robe kept thinking in his mind, and then he said nothing and just looked at Chen Xuan with a smile. It was as if he was waiting for Chen Xuan to ask questions first.
But Chen Xuan was also speechless, just looking coldly at this peerless strong man who came out of the Jialantu. The old man in white robe sat down anywhere, leaning on the tree trunk behind him, picking up the fallen leaves beside him, playing with them, and said casually...
"Son...you can ask whatever you want. If I can answer you, I will. If I can't answer you, it's up to you. See if you can let me answer you."
Chen Xuan endured it for a while, and then slowly saluted this peerless powerful man. He said expressionlessly, "Where does the old man come from? Can you tell me the secret in the blueprint or the identity of the old man?"
Although Chen Xuan looked indifferent, his words were full of respect. Chen Xuan knew that although this peerless strong man seemed very casual, how could he be an ordinary person who could become such a powerful man?
I'm afraid that he could easily pinch himself to death with just a flip of his hand, right? However, Chen Xuan's tone made the white-robed old man think more highly of him.
Not arrogant, not impetuous, not courageous, his character is really flirtatious. With such a flirtatious temperament at his age, his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary...
only……
"I am the most powerful person in the reincarnation of Tao thousands of years ago! Just because of that war, I was plotted against. Then I was imprisoned in the Zheng of Jialantu."
"The person who plotted against me also saved me, because at that time the Tao was actually a hundred times more powerful than the Tao I had faced before, and countless of the strongest had fallen!"
The white-robed old man used a bunch of terms that Chen Xuan had never come into contact with... Chen Xuan knew the levels of the Earthly Immortal Realm, the Divine Realm and the Yu Realm, and he also knew the levels of the Taoist, Taoist, Taoist, etc. in the Heart-killing World. .
But what exactly is the strongest? What is reincarnation? Chen Xuan didn't know anything about it, but Chen Xuan found that the old man had no desire to continue this topic. So I didn't continue to ask questions, because it was too far away from Chen Xuan.
But Chen Xuan still had many questions, so he continued to ask. "Then...Senior, why did you come out this time? Senior, do you know what's wrong with me?"
The old lady in white robe didn't care that Chen Xuan's question was a very childish question for him. Then, the old man in white robe answered Chen Xuandao while playing with the fallen leaves around him.
"I came out because my seal was lifted, but I can only stay in your consciousness and cannot transform. But I still exist in reality."
"I can even steal your body and give it to me. Hehe..."
"Then you can only watch me live on your behalf!"
When Chen Xuan heard this, although his expression remained indifferent as usual, Chen Xuan's heart did hit his chest several times. If this person wants to take away my body, I'm afraid I don't even have the ability to resist, so I can only let him do it. But what this peerless powerful man said next made Chen Xuan feel a little more relieved.
"However, you don't have to worry too much. I'm not that stupid!"
The old man in white robe looked at Chen Xuan's indifferent expression and secretly admired him in his heart. However, the expression of the old man in white robe was still as deep as a bottomless ocean.
"Do you know... why am I unwilling? I have killed tens of millions of people. I have injured countless others! I don't want to take your body. I just don't want to become a person like you. Taoist perfection is a waste that has not even been achieved by Taoist masters!”
When the old man in white robe came here, there was obvious pride and ridicule in his tone. However, Chen Xuan didn't bother too much. Chen Xuan knew that this was a person who was much stronger than him.
It was reasonable for him to mock himself, but how could such a powerful person come out just for childish ridicule. Sure enough, with the next sentence, Chen Xuan seemed to understand the purpose of his coming out.
"I have a way to get the best of both worlds...are you willing?"
When the old man in white robe said this, there was a faint smile in his eyes. Chen Xuan began to wonder if he had seen it wrong. But the smile was almost fleeting.
"Practice well, I will teach you. When you reach the strongest, I will be free and transform into my own entity again."
"Because once you practice to the strongest, you will have the strength to get rid of my soul directly. Then I can find my own body, and I still have my own body. How about it? This is a business that does not lose money... Are you willing to do it, baby?"
When the old man in white robe said these, it seemed that Chen Xuan had taken a great advantage. But Chen Xuan felt that this old man in white robe was very much like a human trafficker.
However, Chen Xuan knew that there was no free lunch. I was afraid that in this case, what would Chen Xuan do to help him? Or what would Chen Xuan have to pay?
This old man in white robe was really good at calculating. He promised benefits first and then proposed conditions. The old man in white robe looked at Chen Xuan with a still indifferent expression, as if he was not at all distracted by the conditions offered by the old man in white robe.
This made the old man in white robe smile bitterly and said, "You...hahahaha...not bad, this state of mind, mind and scheme are indeed good."
"Given time, you will become a talent! Then I will tell you the truth." There was a hint of bitter smile in the words of the old man in white robe, and there was also a tone of admiration. However, the old man in white robe made Chen Xuan more alert. What does this old man in white robe want him to do?
"There is no free lunch!"
The old man in white robe slowly uttered this wise saying. Chen Xuan nodded to indicate his acquiescence, and then signaled the old man in white robe to continue.
"In fact, when you reach the strongest realm... you will have the strength to help me regain my body! And you should know that I have been practicing in the Jialantu for so many years!"
"Your strength has long surpassed the current strongest realm. If you can't get my body back, I can only start practicing again from the strongest realm. Can I borrow your body by the way?"
The white-robed old man said this very calmly, as if it was a joke between friends. But only Chen Xuan heard the danger in it.
If he couldn't help the old man get his body back, I'm afraid his soul would always be imprisoned by the old man. But how dangerous is it to get his body back?
Chen Xuan knew that the person who offended the white-robed old man thousands of years ago set up traps and illusions. Compared with the strongest person he has become now...
That should be much stronger. The white-robed old man seemed to see what Chen Xuan was thinking, and didn't say too much. Just a sentence...
"You think well. They are indeed stronger than the current strongest, but have I practiced in the Jialantu for so many years in vain?"
"May I tell you that they have already turned into ashes. So what are you afraid of? It's just a dead ash set up before his death. Besides, do you have any other choice?"
The old man in white robe smiled, and the depth in that smile was a depth that Chen Xuan couldn't understand. Chen Xuan knew that this old man in white robe was too powerful.
If I don't do it according to him, I'm afraid I will die now. If I do it myself, there may be a glimmer of hope. And I can become stronger, so why not?
But when Chen Xuan thought about helping the old man in white robe find his body, he felt a chill in his heart. Because that was what he did at the risk of his life.
I'm afraid that if he fails, he will be the one who turns into dead ash... or the best ending is that his soul will be imprisoned, and he will be like being locked up in prison forever, unable to escape forever, and will not enter reincarnation.
But now Chen Xuan has no choice at all, so what...
The old man in white robe didn't say anything at this time, just looked at Chen Xuan with a smile. Even with this smile, Chen Xuan looked like he wanted to beat him up. But the old man in white robe seemed to have expected Chen Xuan to choose and help him regain his body.
After all, no one wants to die, and Chen Xuan's talent is so high. If he agrees, under his training and training...
I'm afraid he will be even more powerful in the future! And his body is not far from his own!
Chen Xuan finally nodded as the old man in white robe wished, indicating his agreement.
