Bright sunlight filtered in through the wooden lattice windows and shone on the mottled white stone floor, faintly reflecting the blurry figures of the two people.
In the room, Qin Zhengqiu and Wei Changtian were sitting opposite each other. Without waiting for Wei Changtian's answer, he smiled bitterly and said, "I know what you want to say, but the Moon Sword may be my only chance to break through to the first level, and I am not willing to give up like this.
"
"You don't need to worry about me, and there is no need to persuade me. I have made a decision in my heart."
"If something unexpected happens, I just hope that you can take over the Tianluo Sect, and don't let it end the inheritance..."
It was obvious that Qin Zhengqiu had made up his mind to go all the way to the dark side.
Wei Changtian didn't interrupt him either. He waited until the former finished explaining his "death affairs" in a lengthy manner before he gently fumbled for a small iron sign from his arms.
Made of black iron, half the size of a palm, diamond-shaped, with the word "Shu" engraved on the front.
Judging from the appearance, this is just an ordinary Shuzhou Army identity token.
but......
"Pap~"
Wei Changtian didn't say anything, he just reached out and pressed a small bump on the side of the iron plate.
The sophisticated and ingenious mechanism started to operate, and the token, which was less than a finger thick, slowly split into two, revealing a small concave space inside.
The true dragon's forehead scales are hidden in this secret grid.
"Changtian, this..."
Looking at the golden scales, Qin Zhengqiu looked confused: "What is this?"
"Grandpa, do you still remember that there was a golden carp that jumped over the dragon gate and transformed into a real dragon at the Spring Dragon Poetry Festival?"
Wei Changtian took a deep breath: "This is the forehead scale of the real dragon."
"What?"
Qin Zhengqiu was immediately surprised. He carefully took the real dragon's forehead scale in his hand and observed it carefully: "Then this thing must be extremely precious, but I don't know what it does."
"I know the effect."
Wei Changtian looked at Qin Zhengqiu seriously: "And this is what I want to tell you next, grandpa."
"oh?"
Qin Zhengqiu was stunned: "What do you want to tell me?"
"Oh, grandpa..."
Wei Changtian sighed lightly and got straight to the point: "Old Zhangtou has made it very clear about the risks hidden in the Moon Sword. No matter what you think, I don't want you to make the same mistake again."
"I know you don't want to give up this opportunity, so..."
Pointing to the scales in Qin Zhengqiu's hand, Wei Changtian said slowly: "So I am willing to give this thing to grandpa."
"And the function of this true dragon's forehead scale is...to ignore the rules of heaven and earth, allowing the person who uses it to break through to the first level."
"..."
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his fingers suddenly trembled.
Although Wei Changtian only said four or five sentences in total just now, his tone was very calm.
But just these few words made Qin Zhengqiu wonder if he had misunderstood his grandson's meaning.
"Chang, Changtian, you mean these scales can make me..."
"That's right."
Wei Changtian nodded affirmatively: "Grandpa, these scales can help you break through to the first level."
"..."
"despair!"
The small golden scales fell from the fingertips and fell on the table with a slight sound.
Qin Zhengqiu's eyes widened in disbelief, and his expression was exactly the same as when he first heard that Wei Changtian had completed the Road to Heaven more than half a year ago.
Even more exaggerated.
After all, whether Wei Changtian walked through the Road to Heaven in one breath or killed a second-level person with one move, it was more of a shock beyond recognition and strictly speaking had nothing to do with Qin Zhengqiu himself.
But this time it's different.
Because Wei Changtian just said that he would give the True Dragon Forehead Scale to himself...
"Long, long sky."
At this moment, Qin Zhengqiu's voice even trembled: "You, are you telling the truth?"
"Well, it's true. These scales can really help you, grandpa, break through to the first level."
Wei Changtian repeated again: "I am indeed willing to give this thing to grandpa."
"..."
From shock to excitement.
From disbelief to disbelief.
Qin Zhengqiu's breathing became more rapid, and there was a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.
He knew that Wei Changtian would not joke about this kind of thing.
Therefore, the first-level realm that countless cultivators in the world dream of and cannot break through despite all efforts... is actually so close to me?
It can be seen from the incident of the Moon Sword that Qin Zhengqiu is by no means a person who is "indifferent to fame and wealth". At the very least, he has a very strong desire for stronger strength.
Therefore, when an opportunity like this that can make him reach the top of hundreds of millions of people is presented to him, it is not difficult to guess what he feels in his heart.
"Grandpa."
Pushing the scales on the table in front of Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian said softly: "Put away the scales and choose a day to break through as soon as possible."
"There are no restrictions on using this item, and there is no need to prepare anything in advance."
"But when the time comes, some vision may be triggered. I will just tell Li Wutong in advance and let her..."
"Long sky."
Suddenly, Qin Zhengqiu's shoulders trembled.
He suddenly interrupted Wei Changtian's instructions, then gradually moved his eyes away from the small scales, and shook his head slightly.
"Take this thing back."
"..."
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Wei Changtian walked out of the yard with a puzzled look on his face, but the iron plate with the real dragon's forehead scales was still in his arms.
Obviously, Qin Zhengqiu did not accept such a treasure in the end.
Of course Wei Changtian could see Qin Zhengqiu's desire for the True Dragon's forehead scale, or to break through to the first-level realm.
It was precisely because of this that he was so confused as to why the latter was willing to give up this opportunity.
You must know that Qin Zhengqiu was willing to risk going crazy to practice the Moon Sword...
So why?
Could it be that he doesn’t believe in himself and is afraid that there is something wrong with the real dragon’s forehead scales?
Or do you mean that you don’t want to “rob” opportunities from yourself?
But later, he clearly emphasized repeatedly that there was still a way to get another forehead scale so that Qin Zhengqiu would not have to bear the psychological burden.
But why doesn't he want it?
Wei Changtian couldn't figure it out. He asked Qin Zhengqiu just now and didn't get an answer.
In the end, he could only attribute this to "the elders' love for the younger ones" and thought that the real dragon's forehead scales were too precious, which made Qin Zhengqiu want to keep them for himself...
Good guy, what about the cold and ruthless world of cultivation where the jungle prevails?
Others won't say it, but Qin Zhengqiu is quite humane. He is willing to give up such a great opportunity for the sake of his family.
Tsk tsk tsk, there is true love in the world, and the world must have friendship and justice...
It’s not that I don’t give it, it’s that you don’t want it for yourself!
Thinking randomly in his mind, Wei Changtian quickly left Qin Zhengqiu's private courtyard along the bluestone path.
And shortly after he left, Qin Zhengqiu, who stayed in the room, slowly stood up.
He looked up at the sunshine outside the window, and a self-deprecating wry smile slowly appeared on his face.
