Chapter 45 Renxue's Letter? Four Years Have Passed in the Blink of an Eye!
Chapter 45 Renxue's Letter? Four Years Have Passed in the Blink of an Eye!
The sun hangs high in the sky, while a fierce wind blows incessantly.
Qin Xu jogged all the way back to Nottingham City.
As they approached the City Lord's Mansion, the Blue Silver Grass on the ground began to slowly change color, starting as bluish-green and gradually turning into a bluish-green color with hints of warm gold.
In a few years, this place may turn into a sea of gold.
The wind felt like sharp blades on his body, but Qin Xu felt neither hot nor cold; what he held in his heart was passion!
His newly acquired fourth soul skill is perfect for him.
In theory, by "borrowing resources," one can increase his strength in a very short time.
In the future, if he has the opportunity to contract a 100,000-year-old soul beast, it will allow him to rise to the top in one step, and his strength will be comparable to that of a Title Douluo in a short period of time!
A hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast... Blue Silver Emperor should know one or two, right?
Of course, taking a risk is out of the question. Qin Xu has too many secrets; it's not something that can be resolved with a mere thought or a few words.
High-return opportunities often come with risks and uncertainties. Such events require careful planning.
Qin Ruins will never forget its own limitations.
"Master, you're finally back!" At the door, when Qin Xu arrived, Uncle Hei was still sunbathing and playing with the children spinning tops in the courtyard. Upon seeing Qin Xu, he quickly called over a maid.
"Did anything happen while I was gone?" Qin Xu untied the blood-stained Mad Fang Thick-Backed Blade and had a maid take it to be cleaned before asking questions.
"Someone sent you a letter, supposedly from the Spirit Hall. It must be because your creation of martial arts has caught their attention." As he spoke, Uncle Hei ordered someone to fetch the letter, while he hesitated to say more.
"Is there anything else?" Qin Xu asked.
"I saw Miss Xue a few days ago. She waited here for two days, but when she didn't see you, she left."
Qin Xu casually asked, "Why did she come to see me at this time?"
"This...this old servant doesn't know. But she did leave a letter," Uncle Hei said with shame.
"show me."
Upon arriving at the main hall, Qin Xu sat at a mahogany table.
Two letters were also placed in front of him.
Qin Xu first picked up the letter from his friend Xue Renqian.
Taking the envelope, Qin Xu tore open the seal held together with rice glue and took out a pale yellow letter.
Then, his gaze sharpened slightly as he ran his fingers over the envelope. He then opened the seal and examined the remaining rice paste on it.
The traces of rice mud remaining on both sides did not match up.
There are only two possibilities for this phenomenon: either the rice paste used to seal the envelopes was opened and then re-sealed, or the rice paste was not properly sealed in the first place.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Qin Xu opened the envelope and began to read the contents.
"Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person. Respectfully yours, Brother Qin."
I'm sure you're intelligent enough to guess my identity. I just didn't expect that my casual words of advice would cause such a misunderstanding with my elders. I apologize to you, Brother Qin, for this. My elders aren't bad people; they're simply worried about the interruption of the Soul Master tradition…
What I have always admired about Brother Qin is his knowledge and talent; I have never had any romantic feelings for him.
I know Brother Qin feels the same way about me, after all, he once said that when looking for a partner, the most important thing is appearance...
To avoid misunderstandings from your parents and to prevent it from harming you, I deliberately reduced my attention to you over the past two years. I never expected that you, Brother Qin, would still be so dazzling! You were able to find another path of martial arts besides Soul Master.
Seeing that Brother Qin was alright, I was relieved. I felt guilty towards Brother Qin, but I couldn't get away for the time being, so I could only repay him in the future.
I also heard that Brother Qin needs spiritual treasures from heaven and earth to cultivate martial arts, so I searched for half a month and only found these.
Brother Qin, what I seek is the unification of the Douluo Continent after thousands of years of war! I don't ask for your help in the future, I only hope that we won't be on opposite sides...
After reading the letter, Qin Xu folded it up, put it away, and was overwhelmed with emotion.
Judging from the handwriting, it is indeed handwritten, and there is no possibility that the letters were switched.
But judging from Mi Ni's expression, it's possible that someone checked the envelope before him.
If Xue Renqian knew that someone would read what she wrote.
The content expressed in this letter may not be entirely what she thought.
Qin Xu could easily see that Bibi Dong's sudden approach to him back then was definitely not just about saving him. Even without knowing the full story, Qin Xu could glean some clues about the intricate relationships involved.
"Her status is so high. Perhaps even if I reveal the abnormality of my spirit evolution, she can protect me. If I encounter trouble in the future, going to her is one way... If the Spirit Hall really wants to unify the continent in the future, joining the Spirit Hall would be good. Just try to be marginalized as much as possible."
Qin Xu put the letter away and went to read another one.
"Qin Ruins Little Devil"
As Xue'er's elder, I must say that in just two years, I have witnessed your talent and my opinion of you has changed somewhat.
Whether it's the "Golden Needle Transmission Body Tempering Method" or "Martial Arts" that you created, they have widened the gap between the Spirit Hall and other forces, and further enhanced the prestige of the Spirit Hall.
Therefore, I am pleased to formally invite you to join the Spirit Hall.
Of course, this is on the premise that you temporarily put aside your feelings for Xue'er. Otherwise, you are merely plotting against her, or even pushing her into a pit of fire!
No matter what, Xue'er values you very much, otherwise how could her little tricks have fooled me?
That's all I have to say. If you truly care about Xue'er and want to be with her in the future, then work hard!
Find a way to become powerful, powerful enough that the Spirit Hall is willing to accept you.
I can assure you that if you can make it on your martial arts path, it's not impossible.
The prerequisite is that you show me your efforts and potential.
Although a Soul Master's lifespan doubles after breaking through to the Title Douluo level, Xue'er is not exactly young.
So, Qin Xu kid, hurry up and work hard to become stronger! Show me how strong you become!
Finally, let me remind you that I know Bibi Dong threatened you before, demanding that you share your martial soul theories with her. But in my opinion, she is not a good person to associate with. One day in the future, you may see your experimental theories being plagiarized, or even published under someone else's name.
She wouldn't be so kind as to make you famous.
However, you don't need to worry too much. Although she is the Pope of the Spirit Hall, her future doesn't lie with her. As long as you don't get too entangled with her, it's fine. If you want to join the Spirit Hall, you can come here within a month.
Qin Xu read the letter from beginning to end, and then read it a second time.
"Are there so many requirements even for finding a second-generation heir? I guess the child won't even be able to take my surname..." A flame surged from Qin Xu's fingertip, instantly burning the letter.
He realized that Xue Renqian might indeed be a top noble of the Spirit Hall, with a status no less than that of Pope Bibi Dong! And her spirit might be very special.
Although Qin Xu knew that the other party was a powerful figure, seeing the other party's attitude in the letter made him feel uneasy.
The person in the letter encouraged him to work hard, saying that he would have the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with Xue Renqian in the future.
There were no sharp words or bitter sarcasm, only a gentle request. However, the writer may have felt that he was encouraging himself and giving himself hope.
Qin Xu was somewhat indignant at this attitude, but upon further reflection, he realized that the other party's attitude was understandable; to outsiders, he was, after all, only a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.
Now, no matter how angry or irritable he is, it's useless...
Of course, he wouldn't strive to become stronger just to pursue Xue Renqian, as stated in this letter; he's not that eager...
Time is his friend; there will always be a time in the future when those who looked down on him will regret it.
Ultimately, the letter didn't change anything; it only diminished his desire to find out about Xue Renqian's situation.
Xue Renqian's plain appearance is secondary; her personality is also somewhat cruel. She wasn't a very good partner to begin with. Since they both have their own goals, keeping their distance might be a better choice.
"This is really dangerous. The Spirit Hall's attitude means they did have the idea of getting rid of me before." Qin Xu felt a chill run down his spine; this was truly an unexpected disaster.
At that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of urgency to become stronger.
"The process of reviving the Blue Silver Emperor needs to be accelerated."
Furthermore, since we have such a powerful fourth soul skill, it would be a huge waste not to make good use of it.
Back in the attic, Qin Xu raised his hand—not as an apology, but as a burst of solar essence.
Seeing the tender new branches of the Blue Silver Emperor in the flower bed, it, which was originally a bit wilted, felt the vigorous essence of the sun and instantly perked up. When it saw Qin Xu arrive, it even tried to ingratiate itself by massaging his shoulders.
Qin Xu smiled.
The Blue Silver Emperor has truly lived a life of luxury since following him.
The essence of the sun is a tremendous treasure for any plant-based soul beast, yet here it is enough to satisfy its hunger.
Once the other person revives, they won't really keep bothering me!
That won't work!
While pondering.
Tang San rushed over, his face full of anxiety, and said, "Teacher, Yu Xiaogang has gone missing!"
"He's missing? When?"
"Just now. Not only Yu Xiaogang, but also my brother, they've both gone missing. I just asked Xiaowu, and even she doesn't know the specifics."
"What on earth happened?!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xu immediately became tense.
He attached great importance to these two people.
Yu Xiaogang and Shenwang Tang San were both invaluable talents to him. Their untimely deaths were undoubtedly something he did not want to see.
Tang San quickly explained.
After hearing Tang San's explanation, Qin Xu slowly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both happy and worried.
It was Tang Hao who saved him!
This guy dares to come back? He's incredibly audacious. Although Tang Hao is powerful now, he truly believes that with proper preparation, he can outmaneuver his opponent.
At worst, we can spend money to collect the materials needed for gunpowder, give them a good beating, and they'll behave.
Unfortunately, I am not in Nottingham.
Thus, although Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's whereabouts are currently unknown, it is clearly more acceptable than if they were dead.
The important thing is that Xiao Wu hasn't left. Would Tang Hao easily give up on Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast?
Obviously impossible.
Since he didn't take Xiao Wu away, it means he will come back in the future.
"Where's your money? Did he steal it from you again this time?"
Qin Xu suddenly realized that Tang Hao would prepare whale glue for God King Tang San's cultivation in order to nurture him, which must be inseparable from money.
Upon hearing this, Tang San's face turned grim. He said, "Teacher, he stole my storage ring, but the meat processing plant didn't suffer much loss. However, don't worry, Teacher, I've placed my mother's soul bone in a separate location."
"That's good." Qin Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but the thought of Tang Hao taking advantage of him again and stealing his talents made him even more disgusted with Tang Hao.
"Does Tang Hao also have a special destiny?" Qin Xu frowned. He couldn't see Tang Hao's good fortune through the Ten Thousand Lives Listening Heaven. But since Tang Hao was able to give birth to two sons with special destinies, could he himself also have an extraordinary destiny?
In any case, the Blue Silver Emperor's destiny is only deep purple, and it only carries one point of destiny.
"Little Third, I've figured out a way to speed up your mother's transformation process. However, it may still take three to four years... Give me the soul bone," Qin Xu instructed.
Tang San looked up suddenly, overjoyed, and immediately went to do it.
After Tang San left, Qin Xu gently touched the roots of the Blue Silver Emperor, then asked, "You're conscious, aren't you? Did you hear what I and Xiao San said?"
Ah Yin was enjoying the warm essence of the sun when she heard this. She was taken aback at first, then realized that the handsome and kind man who fed her the sun every day was talking to her. Her head drooped and trembled to indicate that she was listening.
"You really have a bad eye for people. That Tang Hao is a robber. Look at what a human being does..." Qin Xu said for a while, and found that Ah Yin was quite agreeable. Several branches were obviously echoing what he said.
"However, since you've run into me, I can speed up your resurrection, but there's a condition: you'll have to follow me, acknowledge me as your master, and sign a contract with me."
As Qin Xu finished speaking, another ball of solar essence appeared in his hand.
Ah Yin grew wary. This handsome guy was a good person, but he was still human. What if he wanted her soul ring later? But then she thought that her resurrection would definitely be hundreds of years from now, by which time Qin Xu would probably be dying of old age. She wasn't at a loss...
The key is that the sun tastes so good.
Looking at the essence of the sun in Qin Xu's hand, Ah Yin's desire grew even stronger.
It probably wants me to eat it too.
Ah Yin's mouth was practically watering. Its wariness gradually disappeared, and it nodded vaguely.
Then, a special contract appeared in his mind.
Upon seeing it, Ah Yin immediately acted without hesitation.
The daily supply of solar essence is tripled, and there aren't many restrictions.
He even promised to restore his cultivation level later.
He's such a handsome and kind guy, so nice. I must have misunderstood him.
It, Ah Yin, will definitely repay the handsome and kind man!
Seeing Ah Yin agree, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Qin Xu's eyes.
After that, I can focus on studying the cultivation techniques for soul beasts.

Offering Hall.
Qian Daoliu frowned. A month had passed, and he realized that Qin Xu might not have taken his words to heart.
They didn't even see him once.
In other words, he wasn't sincere towards Xiaoxue at all.
"Brother, Xiaoxue has already said that there's nothing between the two of them. It's normal that they don't care if you use Xiaoxue as a bargaining chip. He's not very old, but he has already broken through various perceptions in the Soul Master world with his extensive knowledge, especially in martial arts. I feel that he's getting better and better with each practice. I believe his potential is limitless and his future is boundless," said Jin'e.
"He is definitely a promising talent, extremely rare. His martial arts are very refined, and it's not impossible for him to catch up with Xue'er's talent in the future." Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke highly of Qin Xu, mainly because he discovered that his Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul was very suitable for martial arts. If Qin Xu continued to develop his skills, it would bring him even more benefits in the future.
Qian Daoliu calmly shook his head, his voice slightly cold: "No need. I believe he rejected me because of Bibi Dong. If he were smart enough, he would surely have seen who held a higher position, us or Bibi Dong. Yet he made this choice..."
Jin E said, "He's still young, so it's understandable that he's full of energy. Don't really miss out on a promising genius. That kid might just be acting impulsively."
"His failure to make the right choice is a regret he didn't realize! Xiaoxue has the potential to become a god, and I'll take your advice and give him a chance. But he missed it, and that's that."
The golden crocodile let out a long sigh.
He also lamented that Qin Xu had not made the right choice and had lost this opportunity.
It's worth noting that Qian Daoliu had previously told him that if Qin Xu continued to improve, he might take him as a disciple in the future. At that time, Qin Xu's status would be vastly different from before.
But now, Qin Xu has missed this opportunity!

Time flows on, but all things remain constant.
In the blink of an eye.
Three and a half years have passed.
