Luo Liu's Gift

"This Luo Water Pearl is my natal treasure, but I'm afraid I won't need it in the future, so I'll give it to you."

After Lin Langtian refined the Evil Eye, Luo Liu suddenly spoke up.

"Oh, you're giving me the Luo Water Pearl? Then, senior, what are you going to do?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was taken aback, then looked at the woman in the palace dress in front of him with surprise.

"It's alright. Strictly speaking, I have already perished. However, I used some methods to protect some of my life force, thus surviving in the form of the spirit of the Luo Water Pearl."

"But now that thing has been suppressed again, I may soon fall into an endless slumber along with the Luo Water Pearl, never to see the light of day again." Luo Liu's tone was calm, as if she were unafraid of life and death.

Lin Langtian felt a sense of awe; these true powerhouses possessed a magnanimity that he admired.

"Although I am giving you this Luo Water Pearl, it is my natal magic weapon, and you are not a member of the Luo Shen Clan and have not cultivated the Luo Shen Clan's spiritual techniques. Therefore, it may be quite impossible for you to use this Luo Water Pearl."

However, I have used the remaining energy to store three Luo Water Shield for the Luo Water Pearl. Whenever you encounter an insurmountable danger, you can summon the Luo Water Pearl to release the Luo Water Shield and save your life.

"Based on the defensive capabilities of the Luo Water Shield, it is sufficient to withstand the most powerful killing move of Samsara Stage expert in this world."

"Oh, the Luo Water Shield, can withstand the killing moves of Samsara Stage expert?" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian was first taken aback, then his face lit up with immense joy.

Samsara Stage expert is a super strong person who has already reached the pinnacle of the continent. Even the Three Grand Masters of Yuan Sect are only at this level.

However, the Luo Water Shield released by the Luo Water Pearl was able to withstand the killing move of Samsara Stage expert. Doesn't this mean that Lin Langtian has three more life-saving talismans?

This is more effective than any Spirit Treasure medicine.

"You need to work harder, kid. If you want to save the world, your current abilities are far from sufficient..."

Luo Liu looked at Lin Langtian, a solemn expression on her delicate face. Then, with a flick of her sleeve, a blue bead appeared in front of the latter.

Looking at the blue bead that slowly floated in front of him, Lin Langtian was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently. Without being too pretentious, he reached out and carefully caught it.

"Senior Luo Liu's kindness is deeply appreciated and will be remembered by this junior," Lin Langtian said in a low voice.

"Hehe, there's no need to remember anymore, but I'd like to ask you for a favor..." Luo Liu said.

"Please speak, senior."

"If you ever manage to eliminate the Outer Realm Evil Race that have invaded this continent and enter the Great Thousand World, I hope you can bring this Luo Water Pearl back to the Luo Shen Clan."

With the help of the clan's secret techniques, I might still have a day when I can be resurrected. As she said this, a glimmer of hope flashed in Luo Liu's beautiful eyes as she looked at Lin Langtian.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian understood Luo Liu's hopes and nodded solemnly, saying, "Don't worry, senior. If one day Langtian enters the Great Thousand World, I will definitely go to the Luo Shen Clan to revive you."

Luo Liu's eyes were kind. She seemed to smile, then her eyes slowly closed completely. After that, a clear and elegant voice entered Lin Langtian's ears.

"Thank you very much then..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Liu's form began to slowly dissipate, then transformed into a stream of water that swept into the Luo Water Pearl, where it fell into an endless slumber.

As Luo Liu disappeared, the Water Shield surrounding Lin Langtian slowly began to collapse, showing signs of becoming unsustainable.

"Alright, don't overthink it. The Luo Shen Clan is still a long way off for you right now. Focus on improving your own strength first. As for the future, just keep it in mind and don't forget about it..."

Spirit Aunt comforted Lin Langtian for a moment, and then, before the surrounding Water Shield had completely disappeared, she slipped into his body.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded slightly, then looked at the Luo Water Pearl in his hand with a complicated expression.

He truly owes a great debt of gratitude to Senior Luo Liu for his trip to the Luo Shen Ancient Treasure. One day, he will definitely make a trip to the Luo Shen Clan.

As Lin Langtian was sighing, the Water Shield around him completely disappeared. At the same time, a woman with a cold and aloof temperament suddenly appeared beside the young man.

At this moment, the woman's narrow eyes were quietly watching the young man who was lost in thought, looking at the Luo Water Pearl in his hand. Some inexplicable emotions flashed across her face, which was covered by a thin veil.

"It has really changed a lot."

Ling Qingzhu murmured to herself. Although she usually remained aloof when dealing with Lin Langtian, she revealed some of her true feelings in this moment when no one was around.

Perhaps no woman could remain truly serene like a lake when faced with a man who has taken her virginity, not even someone as stoic as Ling Qingzhu.

Ling Qingzhu gently touched her smooth, jade-like cheek with her jade-like hand. Her eyes held a hint of reminiscence as she stared at the young man's face before her. Five years ago, that face had been filled with a mysterious and composed aura, and now it was beginning to subtly overlap with her own.

He is no longer the weakling who had to look up to her and try to run on the path of the strong, but a falcon that has begun to spread its wings and will eventually resound through the sky.

That guy from back then has finally come to this... Even Ling Qingzhu had a faint smile on her face at this sight, because she knew that this was truly remarkable.

"Um?"

Just as Ling Qingzhu was smiling faintly, her expression suddenly changed. She raised her head and saw that the young man in front of her had turned around at some point and was staring intently at her.

Their eyes met, Ling Qingzhu was clearly caught off guard, which caused her to be a little stunned when she faced Lin Langtian's burning gaze.

Their eyes met, and a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Langtian's face. He then reached out and, while Ling Qingzhu was still stunned, tore off the thin veil covering her cheek.

As the thin veil slipped down, a breathtakingly beautiful face was revealed, catching Lin Langtian's eye. The stunning beauty of her face caused a look of amazement and admiration to appear on Lin Langtian's face.

"You!"

When the veil was torn, Ling Qingzhu finally came to her senses. Her eyes, which had been as calm as a lake, lost their composure and began to show a hint of shame and anger. She hurriedly retreated.

"It's beautiful."

Lin Langtian looked up at the woman whose cheeks were flushed in the sunlight. At this moment, the fairy who was untouched by the world seemed to have descended to earth, becoming even more beautiful and charming.

The tall woman's cheeks were flushed, and her eyes, which were originally as calm as amber, were now filled with shame and anger. It was a rare sight that was breathtaking.

"You..."

Ling Qingzhu stared at Lin Langtian with shame and anger, clearly finding it hard to believe that the latter dared to be so reckless.

Despite being stared at like that by Ling Qingzhu, Lin Langtian remained calm and showed no signs of shame.

In any case, as far as Lin Langtian was concerned, Ling Qingzhu was his own wife. He had seen her everywhere, so what was wrong with taking off her veil to see her face?

The blush and anger on Ling Qingzhu's face did not last long, which shows that she has quite remarkable self-control, as she quickly calmed down even at this moment.

She glared fiercely at Lin Langtian with her clear eyes, then took out a thin veil again to cover her breathtakingly beautiful face.

"If you do this again, you can forget about getting your hands back." The thin veil covered her face again, Ling Qingzhu glanced at Lin Langtian, speaking in a cold tone.

Lin Langtian smiled slightly. He understood that if anyone else had pulled off Ling Qingzhu's veil like that, she would probably have drawn her sword and attacked them immediately.

This behavior makes Lin Langtian realize that she probably holds a different place in his heart than most people.

Of course, this does not mean that Ling Qingzhu has fallen in love with him. After all, given Ling Qingzhu's aloof nature, it would be very difficult for her to fall in love with someone easily.

This difference is largely due to what happened back then. Perhaps, in addition to that, there are also some changes in Lin Langtian over the years that have surprised Ling Qingzhu.

Returning to the present, although he knew that Ling Qingzhu was no longer his match, Lin Langtian did not refute what Ling Qingzhu said, but instead gave her a way out.

Ling Qingzhu was well aware of this; the idea of chopping off her hand was just an angry outburst. Even Yuan Cang was no match for Lin Langtian's strength, and Ling Qingzhu knew that she probably couldn't withstand many rounds from Lin Langtian either.

Therefore, Lin Langtian's tacit approval saved her a lot of face, and this subconscious respect touched Ling Qingzhu.

After a brief silence between the two, Ling Qingzhu broke the quiet.

"It seems that you have gained most of the benefits from this trip to the Luo Shen Ancient Treasure."

Ling Qingzhu glanced at the Luo Water Pearl in Lin Langtian's hand and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian couldn't help but chuckle. It made sense; everyone had said that the Luo Shen Ancient Treasure was full of treasures, but after entering, he realized that not only were there few treasures, but there were also a series of major troubles.

Having barely escaped from the Luo Water Array, they encountered the released Black Mist Evil Eye, and some unlucky individuals even paid the price with their lives.

However, after paying such a high price, everyone ended up fleeing empty-handed and in a sorry state. It seems that the real gains all ended up in Lin Langtian's pocket, while the others were left looking disheveled and humiliated.

"How long have I been cultivating this time?" Lin Langtian asked, turning his head.

"Three days."

"Three days..." Lin Langtian nodded slightly, looked at Ling Qingzhu, and smiled, "Why don't you leave first?"

For the past three days, Ling Qingzhu had clearly been in the vicinity the whole time. She could have left earlier to continue leading the disciples of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace instead of wasting time here.

"There are quite a few ancient relics here, and I'd like to explore them," Ling Qingzhu said calmly, turning her gaze away.

"I see..." Lin Langtian smiled, not asking any further questions. After his laughter subsided, he added, "Thanks."

Although neither of them said it explicitly, Lin Langtian understood that Ling Qingzhu's decision to stay was partly to protect him.

Although he was protected by Luo Liu and Spirit Aunt within the Water Shield and would no longer be disturbed, her actions still warmed Lin Langtian's heart.

Ling Qingzhu remained noncommittal, saying, "If you've finished your cultivation, then let's go."

Lin Langtian nodded, then turned and flew off, heading towards the Space Vortex that still existed in the distant sky.

Seeing this, Ling Qingzhu also moved and followed Lin Langtian ahead. Finally, the two of them simultaneously rushed into the Space Vortex and quickly disappeared.

As the two departed, the Azure Lake fell silent once more, a sense of desolation and antiquity quietly spreading and eventually enveloping the sky and the earth.

Within the towering mountains, a space writhed and then transformed into Space Vortex, from which two figures flew out one after the other.

Lin Langtian hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the mountain range. The crowds that had once filled the area had all departed, leaving only a few figures in sight, a far cry from the bustling scene of a few days ago.

"It seems everyone's gone..." Lin Langtian said, looking at the scene.

"Yes, it's still more than half a month's journey from here to the place where the Abyssal Demon Domain opens. I imagine the disciples from all the sects will begin their training again soon," Ling Qingzhu nodded and said.

"Aren't you going back to take charge?" Lin Langtian.

"Wu Qun has some leadership skills and can handle the situation for the time being. Su Rou and Frost Crow are also quite strong. As long as we don't encounter too much trouble, we should be fine," Ling Qingzhu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian smiled and then waved to Ling Qingzhu: "Shall we go together?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu shook her head slightly, looked towards another direction deep within the Abyssal Demon Domain, and said, "You go first, I still have something to do."

"That direction is where the most powerful Demonic Creature in the Abyssal Demon Domain are. What are you going there for?" Lin Langtian asked, raising an eyebrow as he looked in the direction Ling Qingzhu was looking.

"According to the information I obtained from the ancient books I consulted, deep within this Abyssal Demon Domain, there is a ' Taiqing Immortal Pond,' which is something left behind by a powerful figure from ancient times."

Ling Qingzhu hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "I have been practicing the Nine Heavens Immortal Art of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. This kind of martial art is too fierce. In the past, when I was practicing it, I made a mistake and injured my meridians and internal organs."

Therefore, I need the "Taiqing Immortal Pond" to heal my injuries and counteract the aftereffects of the Nine Heavens Immortal Art.

At this point, Ling Qingzhu looked at Lin Langtian and said, "Let's part ways here. We'll meet again at the Teleportation Array array. Take care."

As soon as the words fell, Ling Qingzhu did not hesitate any longer, and her figure transformed into a blue light that streaked across the sky.

A moment later, Qingguang suddenly stopped. She turned her head in surprise and saw that behind her, a tall and slender young man was following closely behind, with a smile on his strangely handsome face.

"No need to ask any more questions, let's go together. After all, I owe you a favor earlier, so just use me as your bodyguard for free."

Lin Langtian looked at the astonishment on Ling Qingzhu's face, put his hands behind his back, and smiled faintly.
