The Only Cultivator In The World

Chapter 12 Seeing Old Friends Again

Sun Yongjiang showed a hint of pride and said with a smile: "What do you like about my Sun Yongjiang's daughter? If you like a daughter, just give birth to one yourself."

"Ahem!"

Tian Xiao choked on his tea and glared at Sun Yongjiang with a hint of complaint in his eyes.

Sun Yongjiang finally saw Tian Xiao deflated and laughed for a long time, seeming to be very relieved.

Tian Xiao looked at him speechlessly, and at the same time felt that Sun Yongjiang had changed so much that he almost felt like a different person.

After Sun Yongjiang finished laughing, he changed the topic and asked: "According to normal people's time, you should be a person with children now. Are you...still a normal person?" As he said that, Sun Yongjiang His eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared motionlessly at Tian Xiao, who should have been about the same age as himself, but was still twenty years old.

Tian Xiao frowned. What he encountered was too unbelievable, and he was wondering whether to tell Sun Yongjiang the truth.

Tian Xiao felt very guilty for this person. At that time, I was so consumed with thoughts that the only thing I did that I regret to this day was to cut off seven of Sun Yongjiang's fingers for 700 yuan!

Although Sun Yongjiang talked about the matter lightly, it was only because his mentality had changed drastically and he was satisfied with his current life and did not want to change his beautiful and stable life because of hatred.

It’s not that I don’t hate, it’s that I choose not to hate.

Now that he is a husband and a father, he has an unshirkable responsibility on his shoulders, and he no longer allows himself to indulge in grudges and act recklessly.

The seven broken fingers not only affect a person's life trajectory, but also a lifelong disability!

Tian Xiao understood how much of a sin he had committed, so he instinctively wanted to make amends with Sun Yongjiang and was unwilling to deceive him.

"If it's not convenient to tell, forget it. The world is so big and full of wonders. I'm not that curious." Sun Yongjiang leaned on the sofa and saw Tian Xiao was silent for a while. He knew that he had secrets and couldn't tell them casually, so he took the initiative to give them to him. Find the stairs.

Tian Xiao shook his head and said, "I can pick some interesting things to tell you, I'm just afraid you won't believe me."

Sun Yongjiang looked at Tian Xiao with a strange expression and asked: "You are like this in front of me, why should I believe it or not?"

Tian Xiao smiled helplessly. Indeed, he was in his thirties and still as young as a twenty-year-old boy. This was beyond common sense.

"Then let me start from the beginning. That night I ran into Wangxian Mountain and kept running without stopping. Looking back now, I think I ran for three or four hours..."

The story is not long, but fascinating.

Tian Xiao did not dare to talk about the Xianjia Cave. Instead, he made up an old Taoist priest to replace the existence of the Xianjia Cave. He only said that after entering Wangxian Mountain, he met an old Taoist priest who accepted him as his disciple and taught him how to practice Taoism. He followed the old Taoist priest to a Taoist temple in an unknown deep mountain and old forest, and practiced hard for thirteen years before he was born.

Except for the fact that Tian Xiao did not dare to reveal anything about the Xianjia Cave, Tian Xiao described the daily life of cultivation very vividly. As soon as he heard the bizarre story about leaving the mortal world, Sun Yongjiang immediately became extremely curious. He asked questions one after another, and Tian Xiao answered them one by one.

The two chatted for half an hour, and then Sun Yongjiang slowly put away his strong interest.

"I can't believe that an expert with such magical powers actually exists!"

In the end, Sun Yongjiang couldn't help but sigh. If Tian Xiao hadn't been sitting in front of him, he wouldn't have believed it if others told him the same thing about beating him to death.

"Yes, so far, I feel that everything that happened is too fantasy."

The two sighed to each other, and then fell into silence in unison.

"Ahem, you came here unexpectedly. You must have something to do, right? You seem to have come here with Rongrong?"

Sun Yongjiang was the first to break the silence.

"Oh, I didn't know that Rongrong was your daughter. She was almost hit by a car on the street. I happened to be beside her and pulled her up. Afterwards, I saw that she was very frightened, so I sent her home all the way. Come. By the way, the driver also gave Rongrong two thousand yuan as compensation, I will transfer it to you."

"Rongrong was almost hit by a car? What happened?"

Sun Yongjiang was shocked. It was about his daughter and he couldn't tolerate it.

Tian Xiao told Sun Yongjiang what happened at that time.

Although the matter has passed, Sun Yongjiang still broke into a cold sweat after listening to Tian Xiao's plain story, and kept saying: "It's okay, okay, luckily you were there at the time! It's all thanks to you this time. If anything happens to Rongrong Things, I...I..."

"Don't worry, this is not a near miss. Rongrong was a little frightened. She is on weekends. If you have time, take her out to play more, so that she can relax and not leave any psychological shadow."

Sun Yongjiang nodded quickly: "Okay, I remember it. I will take her to the amusement park with her mother this weekend. She has been talking about it for a long time."

Seeing Sun Yongjiang's expression of extreme concern for Rongrong, Tian Xiao couldn't help but smile.

The former demon king Sun Yongjiang has really changed.

Become a good father.

Rongrong's mother came out of the kitchen with the food and asked: "Rongrong's father, how was your chat? Why don't you eat the food first and then talk?"

Sun Yongjiang's family was not big, and Rongrong's mother had actually heard their conversation clearly in the kitchen. Whether it was the relationship between Sun Yongjiang and Tian Xiao, or Tian Xiao's later experience, she was stunned, but now she is very sensible and pretends to know nothing.

"We're done talking. Let's eat first."

Sun Yongjiang laughed and stood up to clear the table.

"Go and call Rongrong for dinner, I'll prepare it."

Rongrong's mother pushed Sun Yongjiang easily, and Sun Yongjiang showed an honest smile and replied: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Tian Xiao smiled and looked at the couple in front of him, feeling much better.

It can be seen that Sun Yongjiang and his wife are very affectionate and treat Rongrong very well.

Because of Sun Yongjiang's disabled fingers, it can be seen that the family's economic conditions are not rich. However, the whole family loves each other very much. The affection and love shown in every word and deed make this family full of happiness, which is really enviable!

Tian Xiao couldn't help but think of the past.

When I still have a home, that home is as warm and satisfying as this.

After dinner, Sun Yongjiang stayed with Tian Xiao at his house for the night, and Tian Xiao did not refuse.

At night, Tian Xiao sat on the bed and circulated the source energy of his Dantian while reminiscing about the day's experience in his mind.

I have to say that a day in the outside world is more exciting than half a year in Xianjia Cave. However, despite the excitement, Tian Xiao always feels that his life is empty.

In the final analysis, it is because I have no support in this world. Just like a duckweed without roots, no matter where you go, who you meet, or what you do, there is not much purpose at all.

This feeling is actually terrible. To put it lightly, it is aimless, but to put it seriously, it is the walking dead!

The reason why people are human is because they have seven emotions and six desires, have dreams, and have hopes. There are things you want to do, people you want to meet, and responsibilities you want to take on.

No matter how far a person travels, he always has a home in his heart, which is his roots. As long as the roots remain, the soul will have sustenance. Just like a sailboat sailing on the vast sea, it has a direction because of the lighthouse. If the lighthouse is gone, it will be lost in the boundless darkness and waves.

In the vast ocean, if you have no direction, you will always look the same wherever you go, and sometimes you won’t even feel that you are moving forward. That kind of boundless loneliness will drive people crazy over time!

And Tian Xiao feels like this now.

He has no home, no family.

Not even anyone close to him.

No matter where you go, there is no end, no purpose. No matter who you meet, you will do whatever you encounter.

There are no bonds, no worries, no one I really want to see, and no things I really want to do.

The prosperous times are prosperous, but I only feel its hustle and bustle.

This is a kind of great loneliness that is all over the world. It cannot stand contemplation. Once the mind falls into it, it will be very scary!

Tian Xiao calmed down and tried to calm down and stop thinking about these things.

After settling down to practice, Tian Xiao unexpectedly discovered that the source of Dantian energy here was much faster than in the Xianjia Cave. However, before he could be happy, he discovered the problem again.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed through cultivation here is actually very little!

After entering the Qi refining period, Tian Xiao's body's meridians expanded greatly, and the speed of Tian Yuan Qi's movement also greatly improved. Now it only takes about six hours to run it in the cave a day.

And here, it only took him an hour to complete a weekly operation!

Tian Xiao was not happy because of this, but instead frowned.

According to his estimation, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed by the body in one week here is less than one-tenth of that in the Xianjia Cave!

"Is it because the external spiritual energy is too thin?"

Tian Xiao frowned, feeling a little anxious.

The speed at which the outside world absorbed spiritual energy was completely different from that in the cave, which made him feel extremely lost for a moment.

It was still early, and Tian Xiao, who was unwilling to do so, entered into practice again.

When daybreak was approaching, Tian Xiao had already circulated the source energy of his Dantian for two more days. In almost three hours, he ran three Zhoutians, but the spiritual energy he absorbed was less than one-third of one Zhoutian in the cave!

Moreover, after running for three consecutive weeks, he already felt that his body was relatively tired, and the endurance of the meridians throughout his body was approaching the limit. He might not be able to hold on for the fourth week.

Tian Xiao silently calculated in his mind that with his current physique, it should be a more suitable amount to operate in the outside world for three weeks a day. Any more would cause damage to the meridians and even the body. However, the spiritual energy absorbed was not even one-third of what he could practice for a week in the cave, only about one-fourth. If things go on like this, it will be equivalent to the results of one year of cultivation in the cave, which will take four years to achieve in the outside world!

It's even more than that, because it takes six hours to practice one week in the cave, and if there is enough time, his body can fully accept the second week.

As the number of times of practice increases, the time for Tian Xiao to run for one week is gradually shortened. After a while, he will have enough time to run for the second week in the cave, or even more weeks!

In other words, as your cultivation level increases, the time advantage of practicing in the Xianjia Cave will become more and more obvious!

Finally Tian Xiao sighed softly.

If he is not recognized by the unknown ancient book, he will have no follow-up cultivation method. No matter how fast you practice, you will still be broken after completing this stage of practice.

After all, he found out that if he wanted to continue practicing, he still had to cut off his mortal mind and return to the cave of the Immortal Family.

Now that Sun Yongjiang and his family were still awake, Tian Xiao silently took out three blank talisman papers and cinnabar given to him by Ma Jiushan. There were a few brushes on the counter in the living room, which should be used for decoration.

Tian Xiao took a writing brush and drew three amulets on three blank talisman papers.

Although Tian Xiao felt a slight loss of Xuanhuang Qi in his body, he didn't care. It is not easy to replenish the Xuanhuang Qi in the outside world, but compared to the accumulation of Xuanhuang Qi in Tian Xiao's body for more than ten years, this little Xuanhuang Qi is not enough to make him feel distressed.

He estimated that the Xuanhuang Qi consumed by himself when drawing the same talisman paper was much less than the one year of Taoism mentioned by Ma Jiushan. After all, he studied the essence of Taoism, "Tao Jing" every day, and often practiced various authentic Taoist techniques. , cannot be compared to the hard work of outsiders.

If you really want to compare, the Xuanhuang Qi consumed by drawing such a talisman is about 1%!

After finishing drawing the talisman paper, Tian Xiao found paper and pen and started writing on it.

Tian Xiao explained the purpose of the talisman paper, and then wrote down several prescriptions for nourishing and curing diseases, which could help Sun Yongjiang and his wife regulate their bodies. Finally, he put his new bank card on the table and wrote down the password. There are more than 80,000 yuan in it. Although it is not much, it can be regarded as a little bit of my heart.

After doing this, Tian Xiao left Sun Yongjiang's house quietly. When he went out, the sky was just getting brighter.

Tian Xiao's mood improved a lot after coming out of Sun Yongjiang's house. As the saying goes, every cause must have an effect. Because of his impulsiveness, he cut off seven of Sun Yongjiang's fingers, causing him to inadvertently enter the Xianjia Cave. After careful calculation, Sun Yongjiang may not be the reason why he is able to embark on this path of cultivating immortality. And today, thirteen years later, he accidentally saved his daughter Sun Rongrong. It can be said that this relationship has been resolved.

Tian Xiao left more than a thousand yuan on WeChat, which was enough to cover his travel, food and accommodation in the short term.

After having some breakfast, Tian Xiao went to the bus station and waited for the door to open.

He planned to meet his two brothers from high school. More than ten years had passed and he didn't know if they had moved away. But other than that, he really didn't know where he was going now.

After seven o'clock in the morning, Tian Xiao took the first bus to Shuinan City. The two places are adjacent and not far apart. Tian Xiao attended Shuinan High School in high school. It was there that he met his two good brothers, Liu Cheng and Chen Xuhang.

Tian Xiao went to Liu Cheng's house first, because the house Liu Cheng's family bought in Shuinan City was bought when he was in college. At that time, Liu Cheng invited Tian Xiao and Chen Xuhang to his house. In more than ten years, shouldn’t it be possible to change to another apartment?

At almost ten o'clock, Tian Xiao arrived at the community where Liu Cheng's family lived. Generally speaking, Shuinan urban area has not changed much. After all, it is a city that was formed back then. Even if it develops quickly, it will not change its appearance like a rural area in more than ten years.

Liu Cheng's family lived on the twelfth floor. Tian Xiao used his memory to find it and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened. The person who opened the door was a woman in gorgeous clothes. The woman had heavy makeup and light yellow curly hair. She looked very fashionable.

"Who are you? What's wrong?"

It can be seen that the woman is good at taking care of herself. Although she is in her thirties, her skin is well maintained, and her fashionable clothes make her look like she is only in her twenties.

However, the woman's tone was a little impatient, and it was clear from her brows that she was stronger and not a gentle person.
