Lao Wang didn't speak, he just suppressed the smile on his face and silently looked at Xiao Xu's eyes.
A pressure gradually rises!
Xiao Xu's arm began to tremble slightly, but the dagger still stayed on Lao Wang's neck.
It's not that she doesn't want to do it, it's that she can't move the dagger at all, and hanging the dagger around his neck is the limit of what she can do.
The corners of her mouth gradually turned red, her heart and lungs were trembling violently, and countless voices echoed in her ears.
Let it go!
As long as you put down the dagger, everything will be free!
One breath, two breaths...
Until her Qi Hai was on the verge of collapse, the gradually rising pressure disappeared instantly.
The smile returned to the corner of Lao Wang's mouth.
He raised his hand and rubbed Xiao Xu's head lovingly: "Okay, I really did not misjudge you. Although your qualifications are not good, your character is..."
Clang!
A crisp sound interrupted Lao Wang.
The dagger passed across his neck, but it did not cause any damage. Instead, it made a sound of gold and iron.
Xiao Xu frowned when he saw that the other person was not injured, knowing that he could not hurt him.
"You."
Lao Wang did not get angry, but grabbed Xiao Xu's wrist and pointed the dagger at his lower abdomen: "The immortal family is different from ordinary people. The fatal injury is not in the head or the heart, but in the sea of qi."
"If there is an assassination in the future, remember this location. Regardless of the cyclone, golden elixir, or Nascent Soul, they are all here. If you hit this place hard, you will not die or be disabled."
Xiao Xu took advantage of the situation and sent the dagger forward!
Although she could not penetrate Lao Wang's body, she still raised her head: "Here?"
"It still needs to go up half an inch."
Lao Wang replied casually and let go of Xiao Xu's hand: "Let's go back to the question just now. If I reveal my identity, can you keep it secret for me?"
"For the shopkeeper?"
Xiao Xu asked back, then shook his head: "I can't do it."
She stared into Lao Wang's eyes: "If you have a clear conscience, just explain it to shopkeeper Yu when the time comes."
"You girl, you are just stubborn."
Lao Wang joked, sitting cross-legged on the carriage: "What if I conceal my identity to protect your shopkeeper Yu?"
Xiao Xu said nothing, obviously unable to understand this logic.
"Forget it, I'll let you see for yourself."
Lao Wang raised his hand and pointed a finger, which landed between Xiao Xu's eyebrows!
In an instant, all of Lao Wang’s experiences poured into Xiao Xu’s mind!
After just a few breaths, Xiao Xu raised his eyes and looked at Lao Wang, his eyes full of shock: "You... you are..."
"Shh."
Lao Wang put his finger between his lips: "Now is not the time."
Xiao Xu suddenly fell into silence. She hesitated and said, "...Why are you telling me this?"
"Maybe I'm getting old and want to follow their example and find a legacy."
Lao Wang looked up at the sky, as if remembering something from the past: "In the past, I was looked down upon by others, like you, but he never despised me and led me step by step to where I am now."
"I see my former shadow in you, maybe this is fate."
"Girl."
Lao Wang lowered his head and looked at Xiao Xu: "Are you willing to worship me as your teacher?"
Xiao Xu didn't hesitate at all, he knelt down in front of Lao Wang and nodded three times in a row.
"Disciple Xu Shayan, please pay homage to your master!"
She already knows Lao Wang's true identity and believes that Lao Wang will not pose any threat to the shopkeeper.
The matter of becoming a disciple came naturally.
"Hahahaha, okay!"
Lao Wang laughed wildly three times and raised his hand to help Xiao Xu up: "Good disciple! However, we should conceal our identity as master and disciple first. Don't tell the young master."
"Master, don't worry, my disciple knows."
Lao Wang smiled slightly and raised his hand to rest on Xiao Xu's shoulder.
In an instant, a sword energy poured into his body and penetrated directly into his sea of energy.
Xiao Xu was stunned: "Master? What are you..."
"You are my first apprentice, and you should also be the last. As a master, it is natural for me to give you some gifts."
Lao Wang smiled and explained: "That is Master's original sword energy. It can seal your four-attribute spiritual root except metallicity, and help you become a single-attribute heavenly spiritual root until you reach Nascent Soul."
"In addition, your Qi sea, meridians, and flesh and blood will be nourished by the sword energy all the time. Although the process is a bit painful, after three years, you will be able to transform into a sword spirit body, and after ten years, you will transform into a sword spirit body.
The Nine-Xuan Sword Body that sword practitioners dream of."
"With a maximum of three hundred years, you can be among the top ten in the world of swordsmanship."
Xiao Xu naturally knew what these meant.
Her pupils were filled with mist, and she was about to kneel down to Lao Wang again, but was stopped by him.
"This is the second gift."
Lao Wang helped Xiao Xu up and rubbed her head: "I just gave you the first gift. The memory I gave you will always remain in your mind. The sword skills and sword moves in it are all
It’s up to you to understand it on your own.”
"How much you can understand depends entirely on your own understanding."
"Disciple will definitely live up to Master's expectations!"
"Um?"
Lao Wang was suddenly startled and turned to look at a shadow flying towards the horizon.
With a casual move, he took the phantom into his palm: "Xiao Xu, for this third gift, I originally wanted to give you a good sword, but now I have another choice. It depends on how you decide.
"
"Another option?"
Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment.
She just saw her master collecting something from the sky, but she didn't know what it was. She thought that this third gift must be related to the phantom.
"This is it."
As he spoke, Lao Wang spread his hands and revealed the phantom.
Xiao Xu took a closer look and his pupils trembled!
"Zhou...Zhou Huang!?"
"To be precise, it's Zhou Huang's Nascent Soul."
Lao Wang spread out his other hand, and an exquisite thin sword appeared in the palm of his hand: "This sword is called the evil mirror. It can illuminate all the evil in the world, peer into the human heart, and frighten the soul. It is a seventh-grade peak spiritual weapon."
"Although I want to give you both, he once said that trying to encourage others will only do bad things, so I can only give you three gifts."
"You choose one of these two."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Xu raised his hand and pointed at Zhou Huang: "Master, I want her."
"good!"
Lao Wang smiled slightly, drove Zhou Huang's Nascent Soul into the evil mirror, and handed the evil mirror to Xiao Xu: "Nuo, here you go."
"Master..."
Xiao Xu was holding the evil mirror, a little dazed.
"Why are you standing there? Put it away."
Lao Wang said matter-of-factly: "You are just refining qi. You can't release Zhou Huang's soul even if you take it. The master will naturally find a storage device for you, right?"
"Little girl, you are not as smooth as an old guy like me!"
"Disciple, thank you Master!"
Xiao Xu held the evil mirror and knelt on the ground: "In this life, I will definitely live up to Master's cultivation!"
"Okay, okay, get up."
Lao Wang helped Xiao Xu up again: "Let Nie Jing recognize her master first. Even if Zhou Huang is released, she will not dare to act recklessly. How to deal with it is your business."
"but……"
Lao Wang's conversation suddenly changed: "He saved your life. If you fail him, even if you are my apprentice, I will not show mercy."
