After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Never mind, these things happened.

At least he figured out why he couldn't practice.

After Chu Lingxiao figured it out, his mood gradually calmed down, and he tried to speak in a gentle tone.

"Since the seniors have awakened, can we leave this place and find another place?"

If possible, he would be able to continue practicing. Although he would have to start all over again, with his talent, as long as he worked hard day and night, he would be able to catch up in a few years.

Thinking of this, this hateful old man didn't seem so hateful anymore.

Some things will only be cherished more when you realize their value once you have lost them and then find them again.

"No."

Hearing the old man's decisive answer without any hesitation, Chu Lingxiao became uneasy again.

How shameless! Do you want to depend on him for the rest of your life? You can't just fleece the sheep alone!

No, absolutely not.

Chu Lingxiao pretended to be regretful and sighed in a pretentious manner.

"Although I don't know who you are, if you still want to absorb my spiritual power like before, I advise you to find someone else. I can't afford to support you."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled.

"Don't worry, it was an emergency before, and we won't do that again without permission."

Chu Lingxiao had a blank expression on his face and remained silent.

Who knows if this old guy is trying to deceive him with sweet words.

He had already made up his mind not to let him follow him no matter what.

"Boy, do you want to become stronger? Do you want to take revenge?"

Although he had just made up his mind not to listen to his sweet words, Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but be moved after hearing these words.

But it didn't show on his face, and his words were calm and indifferent.

"As long as you don't interfere with my training, with my talent, do I still need you to become stronger?"

Although Chu Lingxiao claimed that he was not a very smart person, he was not a fool. He understood that free things are the most expensive. If he accepted it, the old man would definitely make demands.

"Boy, you are naturally talented, but you have to know that you are already eighteen years old, and you are only at the beginning of Qi training. No matter how hard you work, you can't make up for it. Do you want the gap between you and your "sweetheart" to grow bigger and bigger?"

The old man said with a smile.

Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but deny it because the old man touched his sore spot.

"Don't talk nonsense. When did I have a crush on someone? How come I didn't know it myself?"

"Forget it, just deny it, but you have to seriously consider what I say. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again."

After Chu Lingxiao thought about it, he felt lost.

What the old man said was right. He was so talented. He had been able to cultivate since he was ten years old when he was diagnosed with a single spiritual root. Up to now, it had taken him a full six years to cultivate to the eighth level of Qi training.

If I have to start all over again now, compared to other people with average talents, I will definitely catch up in a few years.

But what if compared with Gu Qingze?

It is basically impossible to catch up with him by your own efforts alone.

Sighing, Chu Lingxiao glanced at the old man and spoke reluctantly.

"If you say so, then you must have a solution."

"Maybe."

The old man said ambiguously.

"How about this? You give me a year to recover to my previous level, which is the eighth level of Qi training, and the previous things will be written off. How about that?"

This kid has started to scheme. It seems that he has deduced from the conversation between him and me just now that I am just a remnant soul and pose no threat to him, so he is trying to blackmail me.

As the old man expected, Chu Lingxiao sneered.

"If you can't help me, why should I listen to you? At most, I won't be able to practice. This is all you have left. But I just heard that you have your own goals to achieve. If you and I end up in a fight that ends in a loss, that doesn't match your expectations, right?"

"You really don't look like a child who has just reached adulthood. It seems that you have grown up a lot in the past three years. Is this my own fault?"

Looking at Chu Lingxiao who was negotiating bargaining chips with him, the old man was stunned, and then he felt deeply touched.

"Now that you are asking me for something, you should at least show some sincerity to prove your worth."

"Okay, okay, kid, I promise you, since I, an old senior, still need your help."

I never thought that one day I would end up like this. How ironic.
