#13634 - Junior brother, go quickly!
The Fire Demon's words were full of enticement, as if he already saw Ling Xiao displaying his prowess in the Demon Sea and reaping great rewards.
However, the Fire Demon didn't stop there. He changed the topic and mentioned another tempting prospect:
"Besides, the Demon Sea also hides some special gems. These gems are not only colorful and exceptionally beautiful, but more importantly, they often contain mysterious powers. Some can enhance cultivation, while others can grant the holder special abilities. In short, they are rare treasures."
Listening to the Fire Demon's description, Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. He knew that the Demon Sea was indeed a place full of opportunities and challenges, but also fraught with dangers. He frowned slightly, lost in thought.
After a moment, he slowly shook his head, a trace of helplessness and determination flashing in his eyes: "Forget it, Brother Fire Demon, I'd rather not go. Although I've heard of the Demon Sea, I know it's full of dangers. My current strength is not enough to roam freely outside the Star Plucking Tower. Once I'm besieged or caught by some old monsters, the consequences would be unimaginable."
His words revealed a sense of caution and reason. Obviously, he had a clear understanding of his own strength and was unwilling to put himself in danger due to a moment of impulsiveness.
The reason he chose to come to the Star Plucking Tower was to avoid the disturbances and dangers of the outside world and concentrate on cultivating to improve his strength. Therefore, he did not intend to leave this relatively safe place in the short term, unless his strength had made a qualitative leap, enough to cope with the challenges from the outside world.
The Fire Demon's lips curled into a playful smile as he looked at Ling Xiao with gentle eyes, and said, "It's fine if you don't want to go, I understand your concerns. However, I once received a favor from Elder Chongtian, so I'm always thinking of finding an opportunity to repay him.
Since I've met you, consider this a small favor I'm doing for Elder Chongtian. Take this jade talisman. It was personally refined by me and contains a trace of my soul imprint. If you encounter any trouble outside, just crush it, and no matter how far away I am, I will sense it and come to help you as soon as possible."
After saying that, the Fire Demon's figure suddenly became blurred, and then, it turned into a brilliant blaze, like a meteor streaking across the sky, instantly disappearing into the horizon, leaving only a faint trace of warmth lingering in the air.
Ling Xiao looked down at the warm jade talisman in his hand, with intricate and mysterious patterns carved on it, faintly revealing a fiery aura. He gently stroked the jade talisman, a faint smile appearing on his lips, a trace of gratitude and fortune flashing in his eyes.
Then, he carefully put the jade talisman into his arms, as if it were a priceless treasure.
This Fire Demon, although his temperament is quite strange and his actions are often unexpected, in Ling Xiao's heart, he is truly a person who values friendship and righteousness.
Ling Xiao thought to himself that in this Star Plucking Tower, where people's hearts are complicated and affection is weak, people like the Fire Demon who value friendship and righteousness are rare. Ling Xiao deeply appreciates the Fire Demon's sincerity towards friends.
Ling Xiao also thought that the Fire Demon's soul age is only over twenty years old, and he has already reached the realm of a high-level Primordial Core expert. This is such an amazing talent and strength, and there are very few people in the entire Star Plucking Tower who can compare with him.
He knew that the Fire Demon's favor was worth a thousand gold and was extremely precious. This was not only because the Fire Demon was strong, but also because he valued friendship and righteousness.
He was fortunate enough to form a good relationship with him, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely do his best to repay this kindness.
This kindness, for Ling Xiao, was like a ray of light in his life. Whether from the perspective of pure friendship or from his own interests, repaying it was his bounden duty.
Shaking his head, Ling Xiao seemed to want to shake these thoughts out of his mind. He no longer thought about the Fire Demon, but began to focus on his own cultivation.
He slowly sat down cross-legged, the surrounding environment was extremely quiet, and the breeze gently brushed his cheeks, bringing up a few strands of hair. He could feel the coolness of the ground permeating through his clothes, but this did not affect his concentration at all.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, slowly circulating the true energy in his body, thinking silently in his heart that no matter what situation he faced in the Star Plucking Tower, cultivation was always the most important foundation.
Only when cultivation is improved, just like the foundation of a big tree is solid, will the branches and leaves be lush, and one's combat power will be comprehensively improved, so that one can gain a foothold in this world of martial arts where the strong are respected.
However, he had just immersed himself in cultivation and had not cultivated for a moment when he was interrupted by a burst of rapid footsteps.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Chong Ruo running over in a hurry, his steps flustered and hurried, as if something extremely urgent had happened. Behind Chong Ruo, there was also a woman.
Ling Xiao didn't recognize this woman. She had a graceful figure and light steps, like a flower swaying in the wind. Her face was fair, and her eyes were like a clear spring, clear and bright, but with a hint of nervousness and anxiety.
There was a trace of familiar aura on her body. Ling Xiao carefully sniffed it. The aura was elegant and unique. If he guessed correctly, it should be the unique aura of Jin Ruoxi, the leader of the Golden Money Gang.
That aura was like a unique marker, standing out among the many auras. This maid was contaminated with Jin Ruoxi's aura, which made Ling Xiao feel so familiar. This made Ling Xiao's heart full of doubts.
He knew that Jin Ruoxi, as the leader of the Golden Money Gang, had always acted cautiously. Her maid's sudden appearance here must have some unknown secrets or urgent matters.
No mistakes, first release in Nayi Reading!
"Junior Brother, something happened." Ling Xiao's second senior brother, Chong Ruo, looked panicked, his eyes full of fear and worry, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead.
His body was trembling slightly, and his voice was also slightly hoarse, "You should escape quickly, the farther you escape, the better, and never come back."
Ling Xiao frowned, a wave of doubt and unwillingness surged in his heart. "Escape? Why escape?" His tone was stubborn, but his heart already had a hint of unease.
He relied on his extraordinary talent and had also created his own world in this world where the strong are respected. He had never thought that one day he would have to escape in embarrassment.
Jin Ruoxi's maid rushed over, her steps flustered and her breath a little uneven.
"My lady just got the news that the Demon Tower is going to attack you. The Demon Tower is an extremely powerful force in this area. They are ruthless and have many methods.
Among the forces chasing you, twelve high-level Primordial Core experts came to the Demon Tower and met the Demon Tower Lord.
High-level Primordial Core experts are all figures standing on the upper level of the Star Plucking Tower. Each of them possesses world-destroying power and extremely rich combat experience. I guess, you're in big trouble this time."
