Qiao Liqun is a burly middle-aged man with a bronze face, a simple smile, and nothing special about his aura. He looks like an old farmer.
However, a person with keen senses like Bai Xiaowen could read an unusual aura from Qiao Liqun's eyes. Those weathered eyes seemed to hide many secrets.
"Uncle Qiao." Xia Feng respected Qiao Liqun very much.
"Xiao Feng, you grow up very fast." Qiao Liqun said with a smile, then glanced at Bai Xiaowen, "You are..."
"Lu Wang. Previously, I was obliged by Senior Qiao to send a message to Brother Xia to protect the White Phoenix Leader at the expense of his favor." Bai Xiaowen said with his hand in hand.
"Hahaha, it takes a little effort, it takes a little effort," Qiao Liqun said.
"Senior Qiao, if it's convenient, could you tell me why you let Brother Xia take care of the White Phoenix Territory?" Bai Xiaowen went straight to the point.
Qiao Liqun smiled and said: "There is a girl named Qiao Rui in your territory, right? She is my great-grandniece..."
Bai Xiaowen almost dropped his jaw in shock. He immediately chatted privately in the group of lords and asked Qiao Rui to fly to the White Phoenix Territory through the territorial teleportation array to meet him.
During this process, Qiao Liqun also briefly talked about his relationship with Qiao Rui, including the Qiao family on Earth.
It turns out that Qiao Liqun is the first generation of evolvers who experienced the great changes in the first year of Lingyuan. He also has an older brother named Qiao Tie...
Bai Xiaowen was shocked again. Qiao Tie is a legendary figure in China. It is not an exaggeration to call him a hero who protects the country. His portrait was printed on the first edition of currency banknotes.
One of the seven great heroes.
Qiao Tie has been dead for many years, and Qiao Liqun is his younger brother. This means that Qiao Liqun's age has...
"Yes, I am 117 years old this year." Qiao Liqun said with a smile.
"I... really can't tell." Bai Xiaowen said with emotion as he looked at Qiao Liqun, who looked like a middle-aged man without even a single gray hair.
"Brother Xia, please stop calling Uncle Qiao...otherwise you will take advantage of Sister Qiao." Bai Xiaowen deliberately eased the atmosphere.
Qiao Liqun smiled and said: "No, I'm still young at heart, let's discuss our own things..."
"Why haven't I heard Sister Qiao say your name?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"Well, back then my brother, Qiao Rui's great-grandfather Qiao Tie, and I had some misunderstandings and we acted separately when we entered the spiritual world."
Qiao Liqun did not intend to elaborate, but just said in one sentence, "I once encountered a crisis in the spiritual world and almost died... Later, I was fortunate enough to meet the God of Truth. The Lord of God needed me to break away from the relationship with the Qiao family, so I kept my name anonymous.
When I died in that crisis, Brother Qiao Tie probably thought that I was dead, so no one in the Qiao family's descendants knew about me."
Qiao Liqun continued: "I am in Star Alliance, and I am actually paying attention to the movements of the Qiao family... The Qiao family has not had an evolver for a long time. I am very happy when a junior suddenly appears. Seeing that you are in trouble, I don't care about it myself.
If it's convenient for me to help, I can only ask Xiao Feng."
"That's it." Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Qiao."
Although he said this, Bai Xiaowen still had some doubts in his heart. Because of Qiao Rui, Qiao Liqun asked Xia Feng to protect the White Phoenix Territory. In the end, it was still a bit far-fetched.
However, Qiao Liqun obviously had no ill intentions.
Bai Xiaowen decided not to delve into it for the time being, and instead started chatting with Qiao Liqun.
Qiao Liqun, who has lived for 117 years, can be said to be a living history of the spiritual age. He started from the invasion of the earth's spiritual beings and biological mutation, and continued to talk about human beings embarking on the path of awakening through exploration, and then fighting back the mutation.
The process of biological and spiritual invasion of creatures and the establishment of base cities is definitely a magnificent epic.
Qiao Rui also arrived later. After meeting Qiao Liqun, they felt a little unfamiliar.
However, Qiao Liqun was filled with emotion and his eyes were a little wet.
Bai Xiaowen's heart moved: "Senior Qiao, do you have no descendants in the Star Alliance or on Earth?"
Qiao Liqun shook his head and said: "I was even more obsessed with cultivation than Xia Feng at the beginning, which delayed my youth. Later I had several partners, but they all had no offspring. Now that I am over a hundred years old, my feelings about love between men and women are getting weaker and weaker.
I’m not planning to have any more children.”
After a pause, Qiao Liqun continued: "Actually, it is very difficult for you and Xiaofeng to have offspring. The stronger the union of human beings, the less likely they are to have children. This should be common sense."
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
For example, Master Taishan Li Beihai had three wives, but only gave birth to one daughter. He was just an elite evolver.
Although awakened people are more powerful than ordinary people, they also have to sacrifice a lot. Low fertility rate is just one of them.
Of course, God is also fair. The stronger the awakened person/evolver, the lower the possibility of having offspring; but once there are offspring, the potential of the offspring must be very outstanding.
Qiao Liqun patted Qiao Rui's shoulder and handed over a book: "When we first met, great-uncle didn't have anything good to give you. This classic book is of no use to me, so I'll give it to you."
Bai Xiaowen took a glance.
The title of the book is [Black Magic Research Diary], and the author’s name is Gujani. I don’t know who it is.
However, the priority this book can bring to evolvers is 8 points, a proper king-level classic!
Qiao Rui was obviously shocked by this cheap great-uncle's move, but despite being shocked, she still refused: "Great-uncle, I can't learn a second professional classic."
"Who says there's nothing we can do?" Qiao Liqun took out two more yellow crystals and handed them to Qiao Rui, "Just use them like the spirit crystals... After using them, you should be able to start practicing the second profession's classics.
.Of course, it’s up to you to practice or not.”
Bai Xiaowen took another look and saw that the two yellow crystals were called "God's Source Crystals" and their purpose was unknown...
Just looking at the name is already formidable. These two Source Crystals of God are probably equivalent to the Awakened One's Certificate of Overlord? But being able to trade them to other people is definitely rarer than the Certificate of Overlord.
Bai Xiaowen can only say that he is indeed a strong man who has experienced great changes in the world and lived for more than a hundred years. He has fallen into the lap of the God of Truth. He has many good things.
Just from these two God's Source Crystals, we can also get a glimpse of part of Qiao Liqun's strength, which definitely surpasses Xia Feng.
Bai Xiaowen now almost believes what the God of Truth said, that His chosen people must have the qualifications to become gods before they can be selected. He is thinking, is Qiao Liqun also on the road to becoming gods?
In any case, Qiao Rui received a generous gift, and Bai Xiaowen must be happy for her.
It's not surprising that Qiao Liqun didn't give Bai Xiaowen a meeting gift. Qiao Liqun put Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng on an equal footing. Both of them were partners who would join him in exploring the Land of Origin.
Moreover, even if Xia Feng and Bai Xiaowen were given a king-level professional tome and a divine source crystal each, they would not need it.
Xia Feng and Bai Xiaowen both have their own paths. For them, foreign objects that have nothing to do with their paths have only transaction value and cannot be used to enhance their strength.
After Qiao Rui thanked her, Qiao Liqun said, "Xiao Rui, you go practice first. Xiao Feng, Xiao Bai, I, and I still have some confidential matters to discuss."
Qiao Rui left obediently. Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng both looked at Qiao Liqun, knowing that he was about to get down to business.
"I don't know much about the place of origin. God just gave me some common sense."
Qiao Liqun said slowly, "The first thing is that you must handle the territory affairs in advance."
"Will it take a long time to go to the place of origin this time?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"The place of origin itself may not take too long, but the journey back and forth will take a lot of time..." Qiao Liqun said, "You should all know that long-distance space travel requires passing through space channels. This
It will take a certain amount of time in itself.”
Bai Xiaowen nodded to express his understanding. This is the fact. For example, from Baihuang Ling to Dinosaur Planet, it takes about half an hour through the space passage, rather than arriving immediately. In other words, space travel is spent on the journey.
Time has been greatly reduced, but it has not been reduced to zero.
"How long will it take?" Xia Feng asked.
Qiao Liqun said: "The Lord God said it will take three years, and it is a one-way trip."
"So far!" Bai Xiaowen said in surprise.
Bai Huang led the dinosaur planet, which was an unknown number of astronomical units away from each other, but through the space channel, it only took half an hour to cross this distance.
It will take three years to get from here to the place of origin, which is equivalent to the distance of how many dinosaur planets?
Qiao Liqun smiled and said: "For humans, such a journey is indeed far away. But for the entire universe, it is already very close..."
The place of origin is definitely not in the solar system, not even in the Milky Way.
Bai Xiaowen took a breath: "Three years one way, six years round trip, plus the time spent exploring the place of origin itself, maybe we won't be able to come back for seven or eight years... I don't know what kind of changes will happen to the Star Alliance."
He was a little worried. The blood oath he signed with the Dayan Territory was only for one year, while the White Phoenix Territory and the Great Xia Territory would have a power vacuum period of at least six years. This was the case in the emerging territories. Only he and Xia Feng could rely on them.
Supported by two characters on the stage, if both of them leave, the territory's combat power will drop instantly.
Xia Feng frowned: "What should I do with the territory?"
Qiao Liqun smiled and said, "There are two paths for you to choose from."
"First, I will take the lead. The Blue Star lords will sign a ten-year non-aggression agreement... Anyone who violates it will be punished by the contract." Qiao Liqun took out a huge piece of paper from the storage device.
slate.
This stone slab is similar to the "Cauldron of Blood Oath". It is a prop for signing blood oaths, but it is of a higher grade, can accommodate more contractors, and the punishment after violation is also higher.
Xia Feng looked at Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen frowned and asked: "In this way, does it mean that there can be no conflict between us evolvers from Blue Star in the place of origin?"
Xia Feng understood what Bai Xiaowen meant, and the two of them were still thinking about settling the score with Xia Jinshi from the Dayan leader at the place of origin.
Qiao Liqun nodded.
"I don't want to choose this." Xia Feng said without hesitation, "What about the second option?"
Qiao Liqun put away the stone slab and said: "The second path is a little more complicated. My territory, 'Sea Cliff Secret Realm', is currently located in a spiritual plane. You can also integrate your territory into that plane, three
Territory coexistence. The strength of the Sea Cliff Secret Realm is still good, even if some powerful territories of the Star Alliance invade, it will not be afraid at all."
"Which spiritual plane?" Bai Xiaowen asked. He thought to himself, no wonder he hadn't heard of Qiao Liqun and the "Hai Cliff Territory" in Star Alliance. They were hidden so deeply.
"Show me the location." Qiao Liqun smiled at Bai Xiaowen.
"Shaoding!"
Bai Xiaowen's mind jumped and he suddenly said: "I understand...Wanghaiya! Are the previous heads and great elders of the Shangqing Sect where you are?"
Qiao Liqun nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I also cured the madness of the leader of the Shangqing Sect, but he didn't want to leave. As for the great elder, he was determined to persuade him to go back."
"The rumors about the secret sect..."
"Well, there is no airtight wall in the world. Occasionally, my territory will find some good seedlings among the aborigines in Shao location, so there are rumors of a secret sect."
Qiao Liqun said with deep meaning: "Little friend Lu Wang, you are playing quite a big chess game in Shao."
Bai Xiaowen was a little ashamed, shook his head and said: "I made Senior Qiao laugh. If Senior Qiao minds, I will immediately ask Vladimir to lead the team to withdraw."
"No, anyway, the changes in Shao's position have nothing to do with my secret sea cliff..." Qiao Liqun said.
"Well, if Shao's territory is unified, won't your territory be affected?"
Qiao Liqun shook his head: "Although the Sea Cliff Secret Realm is related to Shao's location, it is independent of the reshaping of the Great Unification."
Bai Xiaowen understood that Qiao Liqun's secret realm on the sea cliff was just like Guangchengzi Cave Mansion in the Three Kingdoms world, and was not affected by the reshaping of reincarnation.
Bai Xiaowen had been a little strange before. The rumors about Wanghai Cliff, the secret sect, and the big secrets of Shao's location seemed to have nothing to do with the main line of war in Shao's location and the main line of the battle between good and evil.
According to common sense, if he solves the main plot of the battle between good and evil, the secret sect should have some movement. Otherwise, what would the secret sect do if it were created by the rules of the spiritual world?
Now that he knows that the so-called secret sect is only the territory of Qiao Liqun, Bai Xiaowen is not surprised.
Bai Xiaowen was also reassured that the strength of the Sea Cliff Secret Realm would be enough to protect the White Phoenix Territory and the Daxia Territory.
Think about it, the previous leader of the Shangqing Sect, who is a king-level powerhouse, has always been there and will not leave. The secret realm of Haiya must be full of experts, and it has a strong temptation for ascetics.
He and Xia Feng looked at each other and both chose the second path.
Later, the matter of hiding the territory into Shao's location will be left to Qiao Liqun. As the lords, Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng only need to agree.
Of course, in addition to the two territories, there were also vassal territories such as the Pingu Territory and the White Stone Territory that were moved in by the same batch.
Bai Xiaowen specifically asked Candice and Queen Bee.
Sure enough, as Bai Xiaowen guessed, Candice and the Queen Bee also got tickets to the Origin. As voters of two gods, they participated in the competition for the Origin. Currently, the Queen Bee is also worried about the safety of the territory in the next few years.
.
After Bai Xiaowen said it, the queen bee readily agreed and also asked Qiao Liqun to hide the territory in Shao location.
