Chapter 37 The Eve of Departure
"Master Nephew...understand!"
When Liu Yan heard Su Ming's words, a hint of bitterness appeared on his face, and he spoke slowly.
All the foundation-building monks he visited before basically used this reason to evade and refused to help.
Su Ming noticed the change in Liu Yan's expression and couldn't help but shook his head inwardly.
It seems that Senior Brother Liu was too protective of me back then!
After practicing for so many years, don’t you understand the simple truth that emotions and anger are invisible?
When they first met, Su Ming only paid attention to the other party's solid cultivation foundation, but did not have a deep understanding of Liu Yan.
Now looking at Liu Yan who looked downcast, his evaluation in Su Ming's heart suddenly dropped a lot.
"Uncle, I really have no way to change the sect's transfer order..."
"However, Uncle Master, I happen to be rushing to the front line for support in three days. I can put you under my command and assign you some safe tasks then..."
"What do you think, nephew?"
After Su Ming pondered for a moment, he slowly spoke.
Although he is a direct descendant of Jindan, he is really helpless in dealing with the sect's orders.
If Su Ming wanted to save Liu Yan from going to the front line, Su Ming's only way was to ask his master for help.
But according to Fang Yuechan's character, Su Ming would probably be scolded if he went to her for such a "cowardly" thing.
Rather than asking for trouble, it is better to take care of him on the frontline battlefield. With Su Ming's strength and identity, arrange some relatively safe tasks for Liu Yan, which will naturally greatly increase the opponent's survival rate.
Hearing this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Liu Yan's bitter face.
If there are foundation-building monks taking care of them on the front line, at least they don't have to be cannon fodder, and the survival rate is bound to be greatly improved.
"I will obey my uncle's arrangements!"
Liu Yan responded without hesitation, and most of his uneasiness disappeared immediately.
At the same time, with a respectful look on his face, he took the initiative to hand over the white jade token in his hands. The two of them were not relatives, so it was naturally impossible for Su Ming to help him "for free".
Today's request is made. When he comes down from the front line, Su Ming's favor to Liu Chengxuan will naturally be wiped out. The cause and effect will be settled. From now on, Liu Yan's life or death will have nothing to do with him.
"It would be great if my nephew can figure it out!"
Seeing Liu Yan agree, Su Ming nodded. He waved his sleeve and put the white jade token into his storage bag. At the same time, he took out a palm-sized seal and three spiritual talismans and placed them on the table.
"This object is called the Fire Cloud Seal. It is a top-quality magical weapon with great power. I will give it to my nephew today."
"These three second-level low-grade spiritual talismans are the 'Xuanshui Amulet', 'Wind Chasing Talisman', and 'Frost Ice Blade Talisman'. They are also used to protect you..."
Su Ming pointed to the magic weapons and talismans on the table and said calmly.
He couldn't directly do what Liu Yan asked for, so he could only make up for it in other ways.
"Thank you, uncle, for the treasure!"
Hearing this, Liu Yan didn't show any pretense. He put the magical artifacts and talismans into his storage bag generously, his eyes filled with joy.
Although Liu Chengxuan left him two top-quality magic weapons and many life-saving items before his death, Liu Yan naturally would not have too many of these things.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.
This kind of thing is not only happening in the mortal world, but also in the world of immortality. In many cases, eating is more "ugly" than in the ordinary world, and the methods are more cruel.
Liu Chengxuan knew very well that the world of cultivating immortals was cruel, so he did not leave much legacy to his great-grandson, and Liu Yan would not be able to keep it if he had more.
Instead, he spent most of his fortune on maintaining relationships before his death, which allowed Liu Yan to practice steadily for so many years.
Seeing Liu Yan accept the Fire Cloud Seal and Spirit Talisman, Su Ming nodded and poured himself a cup of tea.
Send guests off with plenty of tea.
Liu Yan also understood what Su Ming meant. After bowing respectfully, he slowly walked towards the outside of the cave.
"The road to immortality is long, who can say clearly what will happen in the future..."
"I have done my best to be benevolent and I have no regrets in my heart. Whether this kid can come back from the front alive depends on his luck..."
Su Ming drank the cup of ebony spirit tea in his hand and said lightly to himself.
There are no absolutes in this world. Even Su Ming himself couldn't say that he was 100% sure of surviving when he went to the front line, let alone Liu Yan.
After drinking tea, Su Ming did not continue to practice, but left the cave and turned into a ray of light and flew towards the giant stone peak.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
"I hope Senior Brother Zhou can find a good store to take over..."
Su Ming slowly got out of bed, looked at the storage bag with only ten middle-grade spiritual stones left, and whispered to himself.
After Zhou Xun broke through the foundation building period, the cave was also chosen at Baiyu Peak.
After coming down from Giant Rock Peak, Su Ming went to see Zhou Xun to discuss opening a store in Fangshi. At the same time, he gave him all the unused magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs in the storage bag, so that Zhou Xun could help him in the past few years. Please help me see if there is a suitable store that can take over.
Afraid of not having enough spirit stones, Su Ming gave all the Foundation Establishment Pills in his hand to Zhou Xun to exchange for spirit stones.
After calculating with his fingers, he saw that the time was almost up. After a little tidying up, Su Ming commanded the Shenxingzhou to turn into a ray of light and fly to Tianmu Peak.
It was still Yin Shi, the sky was pitch black, and the stars had not completely disappeared.
With the help of the Divine Boat, Su Ming's escape speed was far beyond that of ordinary early-stage foundation-building monks, and he reached Tianmu Peak in two sticks of incense.
It was still a long time before the Mao hour, but there were already many Qi Refining cultivators in the Tianmu Peak Square, many of whom had an uneasy look on their faces, which was no different from the one Su Ming had seen that year.
After all, there were only a few disciples who dared to take the initiative to go to the battlefield to fight for their future, and most of the disciples were still pursuing cultivation.
Su Ming did not drop the escape light, but controlled the Shenxing Boat to stay in the air.
The Qi Refining disciples in the square noticed the powerful spiritual pressure of the foundation-building cultivators, and cast awe-inspiring eyes, and the noisy conversations also became much smaller.
After waiting for half a cup of tea, Su Ming suddenly turned his head and looked at the horizon.
"Junior Brother Su? Why are you here?"
With the familiar voice transmission ringing in his mind, Chang Yun controlled the escape light to come to Su Ming's side and asked with some surprise.
Seeing Su Ming, Chang Yun was obviously a little surprised.
According to Su Ming's character, it should not be possible for him to take the initiative to accept the task of supporting the front-line battlefield.
Unless?
Chang Yun seemed to think of something possible, and looked at Su Ming with some "sympathy".
The only possibility that could make Junior Brother Su, a "hard-working monk" who usually stays at home, take the initiative to go to the front line is that Fang Yuechan asked for it herself.
"Junior Brother, I can't do anything. Senior Brother Chang, why do you have to get involved in this "muddy water"?"
Su Ming's tone was a little helpless, and he tacitly agreed with Chang Yun's guess.
"Hahaha, if I don't fight, how can I have any chance to form a pill?"
Chang Yun's laughter penetrated Su Ming's ears through the sound transmission method, and his tone was full of free and easy.
Hearing this, Su Ming glanced at Chang Yun and shook his head with a little smile in his heart.
I'm afraid it's not just that, but more because Senior Sister He Ru is also on the front line?
Of course, Su Ming didn't say this, but instead chatted with Chang Yun.
"Junior Sister Jiang failed to break through the barrier and build the foundation?!"
Su Ming said with some surprise. He didn't know about this matter. He always thought that Jiang Caiyun hadn't come out of the barrier yet.
According to Su Ming's idea, he was also prepared to wait for Jiang Caiyun to successfully build the foundation and pull her in to open a store together.
By then, with the other party's connections, the store business will surely be booming.
"Didn't Junior Sister Jiang go to you, Junior Brother?"
Seeing Su Ming's unaware look, Chang Yun asked with some surprise.
In Chang Yun's opinion, Jiang Caiyun should go to Su Ming for help and plot for the second foundation-building pill.
"Junior Brother has not been in seclusion during this period, and there is no note left by Junior Sister Jiang outside the cave..."
Su Ming shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Three days ago, he still had a genuine foundation-building pill in his storage bag. If Jiang Caiyun came to him, Su Ming would naturally not sit idly by given the relationship between the three of them.
