Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul
Chapter 12838: Good Wine Wins People’s Hearts
When Ling Xiao finally arrived at Jiu Lao's residence, he was a little surprised by the scene in front of him. He thought that such a master should live in a magnificent mansion, or at least a quiet and elegant courtyard.
But the reality is that there is only a simple thatched house here, surrounded by two vegetable fields and some poultry and livestock. Several dogs are playing and fighting in front of the house, which is no different from an ordinary farmyard.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh that this master is really different! He put down the wine in his hand and gently pushed open the door of the thatched house.
The furnishings in the house are simple and plain, with only a wooden table and a few wooden stools. Jiu Lao was sitting at the table drinking tea and reading, and seemed indifferent to everything in the outside world.
Ling Xiao stepped forward and saluted and greeted: "Junior Ling Xiao came to visit the senior. This is the fine wine brewed by the junior. Please taste it."
Then he put the fine wine in his hand on the table.
Jiu Lao raised his head and looked at him. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his calm. He picked up the wine jar and took a sip of the wine. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good wine! Thank you, my friend!"
"Are you still not leaving?"
The wine maker sat in front of the quaint wooden wine table, holding a jar of aged wine in his hand, with a warm smile on his face. His eyes looked through the diffused aroma of wine and cast at Ling Xiao who was hesitating in front of him.
He slightly raised the wine pot in his hand and slowly poured the wine into the jade bowl in front of him, making a pleasant "ding dong" sound, as if adding a touch of rhythm to this quiet afternoon.
"Wine maker, I want to ask you to do something, is it okay?" Ling Xiao stood in front of the wine table, his eyes were firm, and there was a hint of sincerity on his face. He knew the character of the wine maker very well. He was the kind of straightforward and straightforward person who didn't like to beat around the bush. Therefore, he chose to speak directly to avoid any unnecessary detours.
Jiu Lao put down the wine pot in his hand, looked at Ling Xiao for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Sure enough, you are not grateful for what you have done. Tell me, I have a good impression of you. As long as it is not too much, I will definitely help you." His words were full of confidence and generosity, as if any difficulties were not worth mentioning in front of him.
It seems that good wine still wins people's hearts.
Ling Xiao was delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Junior wants to buy a holy pattern array diagram, which needs a fifth-grade top-grade one. Do you have it here?"
His words revealed a kind of urgency and expectation, because he knew that the fifth-grade top-grade holy pattern array diagram was extremely rare on the market. If he could find it here, it would be a great blessing.
Hearing this, Jiu Lao's face changed slightly, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a bit of displeasure and anger.
He put down the wine glass in his hand, looked directly at Ling Xiao, and said in a slightly stern voice: "Young man, I had a good impression of you, but your character of being too ambitious is not good.
To tell you the truth, there are very few Saint Mark Masters who can make a Level 5 Saint Mark Array in the entire Southern Region, not to mention the more remote places such as the East China Sea and the West Desert, where Level 5 Saint Mark Masters are also rare. You suddenly made such a request, which made me a little puzzled. What is the use of this array?"
Facing Jiu Lao's questioning, Ling Xiao did not show any displeasure. He smiled and responded: "Jiu Lao, others can't do it, why can't I? I believe in my ability and potential, and I am willing to work hard for my goals.
Jiu Lao, you were also young, and you must have been despised and looked down upon by others, right? How did you view these doubts at that time? Did you choose to face the difficulties and prove yourself with strength like me?"
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Jiu Lao couldn't help but be stunned.
He seemed to be reminded of the past by Ling Xiao's words, and those years of youthful frivolity and insolence unfolded before his eyes like a scroll.
He remembered that when he was young, he was also unruly and gifted. With his extraordinary martial arts, he trampled all the warriors in the southern region under his feet. At that time, he had only one belief in his heart, that is, to constantly challenge himself and surpass his limits.
He once dreamed of climbing the Dragon Bone Tower in the East China Sea, which was a holy place in the hearts of warriors, and only the top talents had the opportunity to set foot on it.
Although he did not get his wish in the end, that experience became the most precious wealth in his life. He understood that only by constantly pursuing higher goals can he become stronger.
"Hahahaha!" Jiu Lao's laughter was like a huge bell, echoing in the empty hall, full of boldness and unruliness. He looked at Ling Xiao in front of him while laughing, with a light of approval and appreciation in his eyes. This young man, although young, his confidence and arrogance are hard to ignore.
Jiu Lao's laughter gradually subsided. He stroked his beard lightly, and a trace of deep thought flashed in his eyes. These years of seclusion have almost isolated him from the world, and the passion and vitality in his heart seem to have been worn away by the years.
However, today, Ling Xiao's appearance is like a clear spring, nourishing his long-silent heart.
He looked at Ling Xiao, and the firmness and persistence in his bright eyes made Jiu Lao seem to see the shadow of his youth.
At that time, he was also so arrogant, daring to challenge everything and not afraid of difficulties. He felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, as if the heart that was about to wither was rejuvenated.
"You kid, you are really good at making excuses for your arrogance." Jiu Lao teased with a smile, but there was no blame in his tone. He knew very well that arrogance is not a bad thing. The key lies in whether you have the strength and courage to match it. And Ling Xiao in front of him obviously has such potential.
"Okay, since you have this confidence, then I will give you a chance." Jiu Lao's eyes became serious, "As long as you can show that you are worthy of the fifth-level upper-grade holy pattern array diagram, I will personally create a martial soul array diagram for you."
Speaking of this, Jiu Lao's face showed a rare look of expectation. He knew how precious the fifth-level upper-grade holy pattern array diagram was, and those who could possess it were all geniuses. Although Ling Xiao in front of him was young, his confidence and potential gave him hope.
Jiu Lao stood up, walked to Ling Xiao, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Young man, the road ahead is still long, you must always maintain this confidence and courage. Only in this way can you go further on the road of cultivation." Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with confusion, he frowned slightly, and asked softly: "Martial Soul Formation Diagram? What is this?" Obviously, he was not familiar with this word, and his heart was full of curiosity and confusion. Jiu Lao looked at Ling Xiao's puzzled expression, smiled slightly, and began to explain in detail: "Martial Soul Formation Diagram is actually a special name for the fifth-level upper-grade holy pattern formation diagram. In the classification of the level of the holy pattern formation diagram, the fifth-level upper-grade is already extremely rare and precious."
