The furnishings are simple, including a bed, a table, two bamboo stools, and some pots and pans.
There are two other people.
One is a pale old man, and the other is a young man with an extremely strong body.
After Xia Tian came in, there was a slightly surprised look on his face.
Ning Ruirui's expression remained normal.
However, she was a little curious. There were actually things in the world that surprised Xia Tian.
"Do you know this old man?"
Ning Ruirui asked softly.
Xia Tian answered directly: "I don't know him, but I know him."
Ning Ruirui followed Xia Tian's gaze and looked at the young man. She saw that the man was tall, estimated to be at least two meters tall. His skin was bronze, and he looked quite impressive.
"Owner."
When the burly man saw Xia Xia, he didn't hesitate and went straight forward to bow.
This person is the younger brother that Xia Tian recently took in. His name is Tie Jingang and his nickname is Xiao Huang.
"Don't call me master, call me brother."
Xia Tian glanced at him and corrected casually.
Tiejingang nodded: "Brother."
"Xiao Huang, why are you here?"
Xia Tian then asked.
"This is my home, and he is my grandfather."
Tie Jingang immediately answered in a muffled voice, "A few years ago, I got lost while going down the mountain, and then I was captured by the Bai family. I have never been able to return to the mountain."
The white-haired old man chuckled: "I would also like to thank you for saving my grandson. Thank you very much, little old man."
"Old man, then you are very unkind."
Xia Tian curled his lips and said with some displeasure: "I saved your grandson, but you still plot against me?"
"My dear friend, you are joking."
The white-haired old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's too late for me to repay my kindness, so how could I plot against you?
If I hadn't led the way, how would this young lady have found her way here?"
Ning Ruirui nodded: "Yes, he led me here."
That was what he said, but Ning Ruirui did not conclude that the old man had good intentions.
It's also possible that he lured her here on purpose and then had a fight with the woman in the raincoat.
"This doesn't mean anything."
Of course, Xia Tian knew the implication of Ning Ruirui's words, but he was still unhappy: "Old man, just tell me directly, what do you want to do, it's best not to play tricks.
Otherwise, even if you are Xiao Huang's grandfather, I will still beat you."
The white-haired old man smiled faintly: "Why are young people so grumpy? This is not good.
The little old man is dozens of years older than you, so you should be more polite."
"If you keep beating around the bush, I'll let you know what being grumpy means right now."
Xia Tian has never been used to other people's bad habits, especially those who like to pretend to be senior in front of him.
"Grandpa, you'd better tell the matter to your elder brother."
Tie Jingang felt uncomfortable being caught in the situation, so he had to persuade the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man looked at Tiejingang's expression and became even more helpless. He couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Okay, my dear benefactor, what do you want to know? I will definitely tell you everything you know."
"Did you just kill the woman outside?"
Ning Ruirui was the first to ask.
"Yes and no."
The white-haired old man's answer was ambiguous.
Hearing this, Xia Tian clenched his fists: "Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen. I'll beat you up first."
"Hey, hey, young man, don't be so hasty."
Seeing this, the white-haired old man waved his hands repeatedly: "Listen to what I have to say, put your fist down first, and sit down and chat."
After saying that, he said to Tiejingang: "Ah Cha, why don't you boil water for your benefactor and this young lady to make tea?"
"There's no need for this."
Ning Ruirui said casually: "You should just answer my question."
Xia Tian also curled his lips: "Don't waste time, my patience is very limited, old man, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Haha, Xia Tian, do you know who I am?"
The white-haired old man chuckled twice and asked instead of answering.
Xia Tian said with a look of disdain: "You don't want to say that you are a demon or a fairy, do you? I'm tired of hearing that."
"That woman just now said she was from the Black Narcissus clan."
Ning Ruirui added lightly, "He is dead now."
"That's not true."
The white-haired old man shook his head, "I am a normal human being, but because of the special skills I practice, my body shape is a little strange. For example, Acha became so huge because of this skill.
We live here in seclusion because we want to protect one thing."
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask: "What are you guarding?"
"Bait."
The white-haired old man said calmly.
Ning Ruirui was stunned when she heard this, and her head was full of questions: "Fish, bait?
What does it mean?"
"This is it."
The white-haired old man suddenly took out something from his arms and slowly opened his palms.
A crystal core appeared in his palm, as big as a grain of rice, and particles of light were being emitted from the center.
"Isn't this a fragment of the earth's will?"
Ning Ruirui looked at this thing and this word immediately came to mind.
After the girls in Xia Tian joined the WeChat group, they chatted almost every day. In addition to chatting, they also talked about some of their adventures and experiences.
For example, they already know about the fragments of Earth's Will.
I even heard Su Beibei mention that on Carnival Island before summer, he also gave a fragment of the will of the earth to the Lord of Tiangong.
Xia Tian looked at this thing and felt like something was wrong: "This is not a fragment of the earth's will. Where did you get it?"
"of course not."
The white-haired old man chuckled and said casually: "This is called a planet crystal core, or it can also be called a fragment of heaven. There are other names in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but I don't know about it."
"Are you from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance?"
Xia Tian's eyes narrowed and he said coldly.
"no."
The white-haired old man shook his head, and then explained: "Our clan is just entrusted by others to take care of such things."
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask: "Then where does this fragment in your hand come from?
What does it have to do with the Immortal Cultivation Alliance?
What exactly do you mean by bait?
Does it have anything to do with this?
besides……"
A series of questions were asked directly like a barrage of questions, leaving the white-haired old man in a daze.
"Miss Ning, don't worry, we have plenty of time, just talk slowly."
The white-haired old man quickly put away the fragment again and looked at Xia Tian with a smile: "I want to ask you to help me with something. If it is done, I will give this fragment to you. This is a great thing."
Xia Tian curled his lips: "I'm not interested in this kind of fragments. You've found the wrong person."
"No, there is no fault."
The white-haired old man said firmly: "I have been looking for a long time on this planet, and I have been looking for many years, and I have looked for many people...but no one can satisfy me, and you are the only one who makes me feel
, someone who is likely to succeed.”
"Old man, there's something wrong with your ears, right?"
Xia Tian said with a nonchalant expression, "I told you, I'm not interested."
The white-haired old man laughed, with an expression that he had expected: "Do you know where this fragment comes from?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Xia Tian was never too lazy to follow other people's ideas, unless the other person was his woman or a peerless beauty.
"What if I say that this fragment comes from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance?"
The white-haired old man was not in a hurry, with a confident look on his face, "As long as you get it, you may be able to analyze some information about the Immortal Cultivation Alliance from it, and even sense the terror in the endless deep space in advance."
After saying this, Xia Tian was indeed somewhat interested, and then asked: "Are you sure you can grasp some information in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance through this thing."
"Of course, this is the core of the planet. Although it is just a fragment, it also condenses the essence of the other world."
The white-haired old man nodded, with an unusually determined expression: "This thing was passed down from our ancestors and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.
As for how much information you can get, it depends on your own destiny."
Xia Tian lazily said: "Okay, give me the things."
"Why don't you ask me what help I need from you?"
The white-haired old man hesitated a little when he saw Xia Tian agreed so simply.
A disapproving expression appeared on Xia Tian's face: "No matter what the matter is, you just need to tell me and I will take care of it for you. Then we will clear up everything. It's that simple."
"That's right."
The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Hahaha, you are still open-minded.
In this case, I will also tell you a secret. After listening to it, you can decide whether to accept it or not."
Xia Tian said: "If you fart, let it go!"
"You...just."
The white-haired old man didn't expect Xia Tian to be so disrespectful to him, but he didn't bother to care about it, "I just said that although this thing is very useful, it is also a bait sent secretly by some people from the Immortal Cultivation Alliance to all heavens and worlds.
"
Ning Ruirui asked: "How do you say this?"
"On a planet where this thing exists, the spiritual energy will be carried by it. No matter what chance there is, the upper limit of the immortal cultivator will be firmly suppressed."
The white-haired old man's tone was a little heavy, and he said slowly: "Once a peerless genius who can break through the realm appears, the Immortal Cultivator Alliance will send people over to directly destroy all the immortal cultivators on this planet."
Ning Ruirui couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Isn't this too overbearing?
Someone has broken through, this should be a good thing, shouldn't it be recruited?"
"That's not clear."
The white-haired old man shook his head, "What I know is that several worlds have been destroyed, and the earth has been suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years.
It was not until the arrival of Fairy Fuyao thousands of years ago that these baits were suppressed, and the earth gradually showed signs of spiritual energy recovery."
Xia Tian said impatiently: "Old man, stop talking nonsense and just talk about the key points."
"All right."
The white-haired old man smiled bitterly, and then said: "This fragment comes from the [Moro Realm] in the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. If you accept it, it means that you may be noticed by people from the Moro Realm at any time, and then...
…All life on earth may be completely destroyed as a result.”
Ning Ruirui suddenly understood something and said coldly: "So you are not giving us a good thing at all, but you are trying to push a huge trouble onto Xia Tian."
