Lord Huo almost choked at Nangong Yun's words.
"Then you mean to say that I am a ghost?"
Nangong Yun reacted immediately and said with a smile.
"I forgot, Mr. Huo, you slept for a hundred thousand years. However, I am an ordinary person, not a flame holy body. Can I really live to tens of thousands of years through cultivation?"
Although Nangong Yun knew that cultivators could extend their lifespan through practice, he still couldn't believe it that a human cultivator could live as long as tens of thousands of years.
"Tens of thousands of years are nothing. As long as you can cultivate to the level of martial arts and above, you can easily break through the life span of ten thousand years!"
"Martial arts realm? It's really so far away!"
Nangong Yun looked a little discouraged, but from then on he began to think about the true meaning of cultivation.
Master Huo sneered when he saw this.
"Let me just say, if I tell you too much and go too far, you will lose confidence. It's better to be down-to-earth and take it step by step."
Master Huo originally thought that Nangong Yun's appearance was because he heard that it was too difficult to reach a higher realm, so he looked a little discouraged.
But Nangong Yun suddenly raised his head and said to him with a smile.
"Who says I don't have confidence? I'm just thinking, if I really reach the martial arts level, what will happen to my senior sister, and my master and the others..."
Master Huo suddenly became speechless when he heard what Nangong Yun said. He didn't expect that Nangong Yun was thinking about this.
However, what he said was correct. Under his guidance, as Nangong Yun deepened his training in the Chaos Divine Art, it could be said that it was easy for him to reach the martial arts realm.
However, he mentioned other people, which stumped Master Huo.
In addition to talent and perseverance, a person's cultivation also depends on whether he can get the opportunity to a certain extent.
However, for thousands of practitioners in the world, opportunity can only favor a limited number of people, thus inevitably eliminating the majority of people.
This is the rule that has been determined since entering the world of practice, and no one can change it!
"Sigh... You are a child who has been thoughtful and affectionate since he was a child. When you were still so young, you were able to persist in dripping blood for several years to nourish the soul of the blood jade for the sake of the red girl. It is true that rare."
Master Huo sighed and crossed his arms with flames in front of his chest. Although he looked old-fashioned, he looked a little humorous, so he continued to speak.
"Mortals can only live for a few hundred years. Beginner cultivators can break through the life limit, and cultivators in the star realm can live for hundreds of years. However, these are just the beginning for those who have truly entered the path of cultivation!"
"Lord Huo, am I too naive? I haven't broken through to the star realm yet, but I am worried about what will happen in the future."
Nangong Yun looked at Lord Huo sadly.
"Haha, these are indeed powerless for you now, but when you succeed in your practice in the future and enter a new world of practice, you may be able to find some heavenly materials and earthly treasures to help your masters and others break through the realm of cultivation. "
"Yes! It must be possible, so I should practice harder and strive to reach the martial arts realm earlier!"
Nangong Yun nodded heavily, looking confident and high-spirited.
Lord Huo sneered and said.
"What a martial arts realm, it's a star realm!"
"Yes, it's the Star Realm!"
Nangong Yun quickly changed his words and smiled.
"What are your plans next? Do you really want to get involved in the affairs of Dune Town?"
Master Huo immediately asked Nangong Yun seriously.
"Well, I can't bear what happened to the Wu family. I want to help him! Maybe it's because I think of the people who died innocently and tragically in Gaojiabao back then. They are just like the people in Sand Dune Town now. They are all ordinary people. When facing cultivators like Wanxiang Sect and Black Wind Mountain, all that is left in my heart is despair and helplessness."
Nangong Yun's tone was firm and his expression was resolute.
"Okay, in life, there are things you can do and things you shouldn't do. Now that you've decided, go ahead and do it!"
With the support of Master Huo, Nangong Yun is even more confident to fight to the death with Wanxiang Sect.
"However, in order to make things easier in the future, your identity and cultivation level need to be concealed by some means, otherwise you will always cause trouble. I will teach you a set of cultivation techniques that can suppress your cultivation level on your own."
Master Huo gave Nangong Yun suggestions based on various previous incidents.
Nangong Yun also thought it made sense when he heard it. Because of the special nature of his life soul, among practitioners, he always acts as an ordinary person, which is often very inconvenient.
Appropriate display of cultivation can often save a lot of trouble through strength suppression. Of course, in front of the strong, it can also catch them by surprise, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Nangong Yun suddenly found that he was slowly becoming thoughtful, even a little scheming.
"Master Huo, do you think there will be a day when I have to do something that goes against my conscience or morality in order to survive?"
Nangong Yun suddenly said something out of nowhere.
"You brat, you've just gained two ounces of meat and you're already out of breath. When you first came down the mountain, I was so angry with you. However, the law of survival in the world of cultivation is that the strong are respected and the fittest survive. In this situation In such an environment, if you cannot learn to protect yourself and the city is not deep enough, you will have to be replaced by others, do you understand?"
Lord Huo warned with seriousness and sincerity.
When he saw Nangong Yun's growth, he felt both gratified and sad. Sooner or later, this stupid young man would grow up.
"Well, I understand. I will learn more from you, Lord Huo, in the future!"
"Ah? Why do you feel like I'm a cunning, cunning villain?"
"Haha...you said that yourself."
...
next day
Early in the morning, the Wu family prepared breakfast for Nangong Yun.
It can be seen that since Nangong Yun agreed to help him yesterday, the entire Wu family has become full of hope.
Due to the scarcity of tourists, even fewer people came to the Wu family restaurant to eat and stay. However, Nangong Yun found that the breakfast prepared by the Wu family for him was extremely rich.
There is even a big bowl of fish soup.
Nangong Yun was a little surprised that in this desert area on the border of the Western Region, one could still drink fish soup. Obviously, the Wu family had put their best efforts into it.
Then he smiled at the Wu family.
"Boss Wu, sit down and eat together."
"How is that possible? I prepared this for my benefactor. Please eat it while it's hot!"
Seeing the kindness on the faces of the Wu family, who kept shouting "Benefactor" incessantly, Nangong Yun felt helpless.
"Boss Wu, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Nangong Yun. Depending on how much older you are than me, I'll call you Brother Wu!"
"this......"
Seeing that the Wu family was still hesitant, Nangong Yun stood up and pretended to be serious.
"Brother Wu, don't you want to have dinner with me?"
"How could it be, Nangong... Mr. Yun, I'll sit down right now and let's eat together."
The Wu family finally sat down to eat with Nangong Yun. Perhaps they felt that it was inappropriate to call their benefactor by his first name, so they immediately changed their name to Nangong Yun as "Mr. Yun."
"Master Yun, try this bowl of fish soup. It tastes good."
"Brother Wu, Sand Dune Town is located in a remote desert. Where did you get this fish?"
Nangong Yun said while eating. Although it seemed like an unintentional question, in fact, he just didn't want to be too serious, which would make the Wu family feel uncomfortable.
"Hehe... hehe... I caught it from the nearby lake."
The Wu family felt from Nangong Yun's humble attitude towards him that this young man really wanted to help him, so he no longer seemed so restrained and answered truthfully.
"I caught it last night after half a night of fishing. The fish in this lake are very clever. In the past, you might not be able to catch one even if you squatted for a long time. However, I was lucky last night. I just caught one, and it’s pretty big, try it!”
The Wu family talked about his fishing experience last night with a relaxed expression.
Nangong Yun knew that although this desert area was extremely hot during the day, at night, the temperature dropped sharply and the wind was biting. The Wu family squatted by the lake for most of the night just to catch a fish for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little touched in his heart.
"Brother Wu, I deceived you about something, I hope you won't be offended!"
Nangong Yun suddenly said to the Wu family.
When the Wu family heard this, they were stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
Nangong Yun said slightly hesitantly.
"Actually, yesterday I said that I had a friend who knew how to practice. It was a lie."
"ah?!"
The Wu family's expression suddenly changed, which made him suddenly feel that he was happy for nothing. He felt that such a good thing would definitely not happen to him. For a moment, his whole mood was extremely low.
Nangong Yun quickly explained when he saw this.
"Brother Wu, you misunderstood. When I said I wanted to help you find out about your brother, I was planning to do it myself, because I am a cultivator!"
"ah!"
The Wu family's hearts felt like they were going back and forth between charcoal fire and ice cellar. It was really frustrating.
Nangong Yun said with an embarrassed face.
"Haha...hehe...Brother Wu, you won't blame me for lying to you, right? Yesterday I originally planned to check the situation in Black Wind Mountain secretly, but, Brother Wu, you are so enthusiastic towards me, I can’t bear to lie to you anymore.”
"Brother Yun, you scared my eldest brother quite a bit. I thought this matter was hopeless."
"It's my fault, isn't it? I didn't say it clearly just now, but does Brother Wu know the details about Wu Laosan in Black Wind Mountain?"
Nangong Yun then asked seriously.
"Wu Laosan and his group came here half a year ago. Black Wind Mountain is to the west of the town, about thirty miles away from here. At that time, we helped build their cottage, so where did they come from? But I don’t know.”
The Wu family calmed down, seemed to have remembered something, and then continued.
"However, according to some people in our town, they have seen Black Wind Mountain sending people to escort a large amount of goods and some black boxes to the City of Beasts."
"Oh, where is this City of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
"The City of Ten Thousand Beasts is the largest city in the border area for thousands of miles. The city owner is said to be a very powerful man. He founded the City of Ten Thousand Beasts fifteen years ago. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and they all respect him highly. !”
The Wu family also made a living in Sand Dune Town. In the past, they occasionally went to Ten Thousand Beasts City to buy some things, so they knew a little about Ten Thousand Beasts City.
However, he is only an ordinary person after all, and the information he can learn is very limited.
"Since Black Wind Mountain sends people to deliver goods to Ten Thousand Beasts City, they must have a stronghold in Ten Thousand Beasts City. Besides, it is impossible for this group of people to stay in such a remote hilltop as Black Wind Mountain. Go somewhere lively and bustling.”
Nangong Yun analyzed it from what the Wu family said.
"Yes, Wu Laosan must have a residence in Ten Thousand Beasts City. They took all the things they took from our town and finally transported them to his den of thieves in Ten Thousand Beasts City."
After hearing what Nangong Yun said, the Wu family also reacted.
"Brother Wu, let's do this. I'll go to Black Wind Mountain first, and you'll wait for my news in the town."
"Brother Yun, is there any danger? It is said that Wu Laosan has the cultivation level of the seventh level of Yuanhun. Although I don't know how to practice, I have seen him take action and kill several people in an instant!"
The Wu family looked at Nangong Yun with a worried look. He didn't know Nangong Yun's cultivation strength, but he just felt that such a handsome young man was no match for the big, rough, and ferocious-looking Wu Laosan.
"Brother Wu, I will let you know when I find out. By the way, your fish soup tastes very good, I like it very much!"
Before he finished speaking, Nangong Yun had already disappeared in front of the Wu family.
The Wu family felt that in a blink of an eye, Nangong Yun's figure had disappeared. This young man's ability was really unbelievable, and now he finally let go of his worries.
