Zhao Ling'er became more and more curious and surprised as she spoke.
Is this really a dog?
"Awoo!"
The Rice Bucket was so aggrieved, he was almost in tears.
When a dog is reduced to this level, the word "miserable" doesn't even begin to describe it.
"Okay, just this once."
Xu Long sighed; poor Rice Bucket.
Of course, this is just talk; you still have to cook when you need to cook, and you still have to suffer when you need to suffer.
Being a master is already tiring enough with chasing girls and fighting all day long. If you have to worry about these trivial matters on top of that, then you're worse off than a dog.
The group Yuhang Town. Xu Long opened a clinic to house his Granny and the female cultivators, while he continued to freeload at Li Pheobe's inn.
The Rice Bucket became the head chef and even took on two apprentices.
It just goes to show how unpredictable life is, and how miserable a dog's life is. Only Xu Long would do something like making a dog the head chef.
Life in Yuhang Town was uneventful. If it weren't for the Moon Worship Sect Leader, Xu Long would actually quite enjoy living in this beautiful little place.
However, this mission requires survival for ten years, while the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 only lasted a little over ten months from start to finish.
If we stay here any longer, we're definitely doomed.
However, Xu Long was not in a hurry. Now that he had taken over the identity of the protagonist Li Xiaoyao, fate was bound to come knocking on his door.
Time flew by, and three days later it was already time to go.
Xu Long suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed a powerful aura, an aura no weaker than his own.
Unrestrained and free-spirited, wild and unrestrained.
In this world, only the Wine Sword Immortal possesses such strength and such a personality.
Although the Wine Sword Immortal has never been able to attain enlightenment, his cultivation level is not weak.
Aside from top experts like the Moon Worship Sect Leader and the Mount Shu Sect Master, he is the strongest.
Because of his past experiences, he has never been able to let go of them, and instead chooses to escape and numb himself with alcohol.
Once he realizes this, his strength will increase by leaps and bounds.
Even if he's not as good as the Moon Worship Sect Leader or the Mount Shu Sect Master, he's not far off.
The path to enlightenment in this world is different from the Martial Cultivation inherited by Xu Long; they are two distinct paths.
Once you gain something, you let it go; once you become addicted, you break free.
Entering the Tao means entering the Heavenly Dao.
Accept the will of Heaven, see through the illusions of the world, and let nothing reside in your heart.
Cast aside all notions of right and wrong, love and hate, and be as indifferent to all living beings as the Heavenly Dao.
In comparison, the path of Martial Cultivation is much broader.
Find your own path and walk it steadfastly.
As for what kind of path it is...
Do whatever path you want; who's going to bother caring what path you choose?
The Wine Sword Immortal is very strong; if they were to fight, it would be difficult to determine the winner.
However, Xu Long had to meet him, not out of admiration or to learn magic, but because of something he possessed.
Concentric Pendant!
Heaven and earth are divided into Qian and Kun, and men and women are divided into Yin and Yang.
Therefore, there is day and night, and male and female in the world.
Everyone is born incomplete; the meaning of life is to find a partner to complete oneself.
As long as you both possess half of the pendant, fate will bring the two of you together.
They will be blessed by God, stay together forever, and live a long and loving life.
Legend has it that the pendant possesses magical power, and as long as loving couples make a sincere wish, it can still be granted even if time reverses or the world collapses.
It looks like a pendant specifically for finding a partner, but Xu Long suspects otherwise.
Humans are born with imperfections; the meaning of life is to complete ourselves.
As long as you both possess half of the pendant, fate will bring the two of you together.
The more you look at this sentence, the more wrong it seems. But if you don't extrapolate from it and just look at its literal meaning, it becomes quite interesting.
What is the missing part?
What will it become after it completes itself?
Humans in ancient times were incredibly powerful; the most outstanding among them even possessed the power to create the world.
But why are humans so weak now, unable to even defeat a stray dog with their bare hands?
The Great Wilderness Main World was shattered, and humanity also suffered damage.
The Concentric Pendant may not be about finding a partner at all, but rather an opportunity for life to evolve in every aspect.
Of course, this is just speculation; we'll only know how we'll actually get our hands on it.
His figure vanished instantly, reappearing in the outskirts of the city.
A dark and windy night, a time for murder and arson.
Tonight is the perfect night for murder, but unfortunately those Moon Worship Sect members were all killed beforehand.
"Who!"
Although the Wine Sword Immortal is eccentric, he is by no means lacking in alertness.
Xu Long had barely gotten close when he was noticed.
"It's only been ten years, and you don't remember me anymore?"
Xu Long chuckled, and the plants around the Wine Sword Immortal instantly withered and fell to the ground, revealing his disheveled figure.
After being upgraded to the Celestial Art level, the backlash from the Curse Speech Technique was indeed much smaller.
In the past, removing the vitality of such a large area of plants would have at least sent a chill down my spine, but now I don't feel it at all.
"Ten years ago? It was you!"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, the Wine Sword Immortal suddenly stood up.
"It really is me!"
Xu Long nodded and waved his hand to blow away the stench emanating from the Wine Sword Immortal.
Later in the story, Li Xiaoyao sees a statue of Nüwa in the Nüwa Temple in the Nanzhao Kingdom and communicates with his mother-in-law, Lin Qing'er, through the statue.
Lin Qing'er used her magic to transport him to ten years ago, where Li Xiaoyao and the Wine Sword Immortal joined forces to rescue young Zhao Ling'er and her Granny from the clutches of the Moon Worship Sect Leader.
At this moment, Xu Long took Li Xiaoyao's place, and the Wine Sword Immortal naturally recognized him.
"Good lad, you haven't changed a bit in ten years!"
"I haven't seen you for ten years, you've become decadent."
Xu Long sighed. The Wine Sword Immortal was troubled by love and couldn't get over it.
Otherwise, with his talent, he wouldn't only have reached this level of cultivation.
"Heh, life is short, so seize the day and enjoy it while you can; don't let your cup be empty before the moon. Drink today's wine and be merry today, for tomorrow's troubles will come tomorrow."
The Wine Sword Immortal took out his wine gourd and took a swig, looking carefree, but in reality, it was full of bitterness.
" Mo Yixi, you're a father now."
Xu Long said calmly.
"What's wrong? You're not going to be my good brother anymore, you want to be my son?"
The Wine Sword Immortal glanced at him and continued drinking.
"Eighteen years ago, after being rejected by Lin Qing'er, you drowned your sorrows in alcohol. When the Holy Aunt took care of you, you mistook her for Lin Qing'er, and then some things happened. It was around that time that the Holy Aunt became pregnant with your child."
Xu Long snatched the gourd of wine and took a big gulp. "Judging by the time, that kid should be eighteen years old."
"You're not lying to me? How do you know so much?"
The Wine Sword Immortal suddenly opened his hazy, drunken eyes and grabbed Xu Long by the collar.
"I am your old friend, Li Xiaoyao. As for how I know, it's because I can calculate."
Xu Long said, "Give me half of the Concentric Pendant, and promise me one more thing, and I'll tell you the child's name and how to find her."
" Concentric Pendant? This thing?"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, the Wine Sword Immortal ripped off the Concentric Pendant from his waist and stuffed it into Xu Long's hand.
"Quick, tell me, what's the child's name? Where is he?"
