Chapter Index

    There was silence in the room.

    The dark crystal ball gave off a faint light, and the light reflected Li Luo’s uncertain face, making it look a little strange.

    Now he is undoubtedly trapped in an extremely difficult choice.

    The empty phase in his body, with the efforts of his parents, suddenly gave him great hope and dawn, but what he didn’t expect was that this hope would come at such a heavy price.

    Only five years left to live.

    If he cannot step into the feudal realm and evolve his life form within five years, then his lifespan will completely end.

    Five years as a marquis?

    He is seventeen years old now. Five years later, he will be twenty-three years old… As far as Li Luo knows, it seems that there has never been such a young feudal lord in the history of Daxia.

    What kind of talent, opportunity and hard work is required to create such a miracle?

    Li Luo didn’t know… So at this moment, he felt a huge pressure coming over him, making it difficult to breathe.

    Now, he can continue to choose to be mediocre. The Luo Lan Mansion left by his parents can be regarded as a considerable inheritance. Even if he cannot control it, if he is willing to make a lot of concessions, it is indeed not a problem to become a wealthy idler.

    And if he chooses this acquired path, he must keep tight at all times. He must race against time, do his best to squeeze every ounce of his potential, and then fight against the sky to win that extra difficult glimmer of hope.

    How to choose between the two?

    Li Luo slowly closed his eyes, his mind surging.

    At this moment, he thought a lot. He thought of the strange eyes in the school. They liked to talk about the words of a tiger father and a dog son, and why the children of such excellent parents have so much water?

    He also thought of those pure and beautiful golden eyes. For Jiang Qing’e, deep down in his heart, he naturally liked and yearned for her. Li Luo did not deny this. After all, as he said, Jiang Qing’e’s excellence has a huge attraction for her peers. She is a graceful lady and a gentleman is jealous. This is not shameful, it is just human nature.

    In fact, when they were young, Li Luo and Jiang Qing’e competed in many aspects. However, due to various reasons, Li Luo most likely lost more than he won. However, this kind of competition gradually became less and less as the two of them grew up.

    Especially when the Xiang Palace opened, Li Luo knew that the gap between the two sides was widening.

    From that time on, Jiang Qing’e rarely compared herself with him.

    These years of experiences have made Li Luo seem to have become much calmer. However, only Li Luo himself knows how strong his desire to win is deep in his heart.

    The transaction with Jiang Qing’e may not have been a form of persecution by him.

    Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for him to catch up with Jiang Qing’e, who had already left him far behind. However, now… there is a little hope.

    Should he give up this little hope?

    The answer is…impossible!

    Li Luo suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes sharper than ever before.

    He stared at the light and shadow of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan in front of him, and said softly: “Dad, Mom, actually I have always had an ambition, although this ambition may seem ridiculous and overestimating to others…”

    “I not only want to catch up with Sister Qing’e, but I also want to surpass her. Not only her, I also want to… surpass you.”

    He grinned, showing his white teeth: “I hope that when others see me in the future, they won’t say that this is the son of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan… but I want them to say when they see you… that these are the parents of the legendary Li Luo.”

    Li Luo smiled low and said, “Mom and dad, I am very grateful to you for giving me such a gift on my seventeenth birthday.”

    “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down. I’m just going to be a Marquis for five years…Okay, I, Li Luo, will accept this challenge!”

    When the last word fell, Li Luo’s eyes became determined. Immediately, without any hesitation, he stretched out his palm and pressed it directly on the black crystal ball.

    laugh!

    The crystal ball suddenly reacted violently. At this moment, Li Luo felt severe pain in his palm, as if countless long needles were piercing into his palm.

    Then, the black crystal ball began to

    (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

    At this time, it slowly split, and in the deepest part of its interior, two things lay quietly.

    One object is a black jade slip. If the prediction is correct, it should contain the so-called “Small Phaseless Divine Forging Technique”.

    The other thing is a strange thing. It seems to be a liquid, and it seems to be some kind of illusory light flow. It shows a blue color, and the blue color reflects the subtle sacred light.

    Li Luo’s eyes were fixed on the mysterious thing that looked like liquid and flow of light.

    He knew that this was the thing that could change his destiny… an acquired look that his parents had worked so hard to refine.

    And he could also feel that when he first saw this thing, he had a sense of compatibility that came from the depths of his soul.

    It was as if this thing was born from his body.

    It seems that just as his parents said, this acquired appearance was forged from his soul and blood essence, and the two are naturally incomparable.

    “Alas…”

    And when Li Luo stared obsessively at the mysterious “acquired appearance”, a sigh containing complex emotions sounded softly.

    Li Luo looked up and saw that the lights and shadows of Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan were moving again, and their expressions showed some complexity.

    “Xiao Luo, it seems you have made a choice.” Li Taixuan said slowly.

    “As your father, your choice makes me feel a little sad, but from a man’s perspective, it makes me feel gratified and proud.”

    “Although your road ahead will be full of difficulties and obstacles, how can I, Li Taixuan’s son, be afraid of these?”

    Tantai Lan on the side seemed to have water sparkling in her eyes. When she left this image, she must have felt extremely uncomfortable thinking about Li Luo making such a choice. After all, as a mother, it was difficult for her to accept that her child would only have five years to live in the future.

    However, she did not dissuade him, because she also knew that this choice could only be made by Luo Li himself, and since he had made the choice, she would only support him and believe in him with all her strength.

    “Xiao Luo…since you have made your choice, let me tell you about this acquired look that we have refined for you.”

    Hearing Tantai Lan’s words, Li Luo’s spirit was also lifted.

    “This acquired form, your father and I went through countless tests and attempts before we found the most suitable one from countless materials and finally made it.”

    “This phase is of the fourth grade, with the water phase as the main one and the light phase as the supplement.”

    When Li Luo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: “How can this… be a water element?”

    Although there is no distinction between high and low elemental phases, if we talk about attack power and destructive power, fire, thunder, metal, etc. are naturally the strongest. Among the many phases, the water phase tends to be gentle and soft. This phase is obviously softer.

    He obviously didn’t expect that the first acquired phase that his parents refined for him would be of this nature.

    “Haha, Xiao Luo, do you feel that the water phase is weak, which is not in line with what you think? Don’t underestimate the water phase. The water phase may be weaker in attack and damage, but its long and majestic meaning is better than other phases. As long as you can take advantage of the water phase, it will not be weaker than any other phase.”

    “And… your water phase is not ordinary, because it is supplemented by the light phase. The combination of water and light. If you can develop it well, the final effect may be beyond your expectation.”

    “Of course, in the end, your father and mother will determine the first phase for you as water and light, and there are two other extremely important reasons.”

    “After you integrate this first acquired aspect, you will lose a lot of essence and blood, and the loss of lifespan will also bring you great trauma. The water element is warm and moist, and the power of the water element gained through cultivation can also nourish your injured body and help you recover quickly.”

    It suddenly dawned on Li Luo that it turned out to be the case. If you want to talk about nourishing and repairing injuries, then the water phase and the light phase are indeed the best.

    “What about the second reason?” Li Luo thought curiously.

    He didn’t wait too long to ask his question. Li Taixuan smiled and said, “The second reason is that we hope you can become a physiognomist to assist your future practice.”

    “Do you remember the basic requirements for a phase-tempering master?”

    Li Luo was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn’t help but reply: “The basic condition for a tempering master is that he has… water phase or light phase?”

    Xiangxing is so popular that it has naturally spawned many auxiliary professions.

    (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

    The physiognomist is one of them, and his ability is to refine many magical lights of spiritual water that can be tempered to improve the quality of physiognomy.

    In addition, there are alchemists, but this requires attributes such as wood and fire.

    There are also physiognomist masters who create various physiognomy tools, which require the properties of metal, fire, earth and so on.

    The phase tempering master is somewhat similar to the alchemist, but the essential difference is that the phase tempering master can only improve the quality of phase, while most of the elixirs refined by the alchemy master can improve the power of phase.

    Both the water phase and the light phase have the effect of purification, so they are the basic and necessary conditions for becoming a phase quencher.

    “But why do you want to become a phase quenching master?” Li Luo was a little confused.

    But before he could ask, Li Taixuan’s voice had already sounded: “Because you possess the empty phase, you can temper the quality of your own phase without limit. If you become a phase quencher, you will have a deeper understanding of this in the future, and you will be more likely to perfect your phase.”

    “In addition, other physiognomist masters most likely only have one of the water or light aspects, but you have the water phase as the main one and the light phase as the supplement. The two purification powers cooperate with each other. To be honest, with this condition, if you don’t become a physiognomist, it would be a waste of money.”

    “The quality of the spiritual water and strange light you have refined will probably be far superior to that of other phase quenching masters.”

    Tantai Lan covered her mouth and chuckled: “Xiao Luo, this can be regarded as a way out for you. If Luo Lan’s house is bankrupted by you, at least you have a skill at your side, so you won’t suffer any loss wherever you go.”

    Li Luo opened his mouth, but in the end he could only scratch his head. What else could he say, he could only say that his father and mother were very cunning. The career they envisioned for him could be regarded as maximizing the ability of this first acquired phase.

    “But Xiao Luo, this first acquired phase is just an introduction, so your parents can use your soul and blood to help you forge it, but the second and third roads are more advanced and complicated… so you can only rely on yourself to explore.”

    “My parents suggest that when your strength reaches the level of fortune teller, you should consider forging the second acquired phase. For some specific forging ideas, we have left some experience in the jade slip, which you can use as a reference.”

    “The “Small Phaseless Divine Forging Technique” in this jade slip can only forge the second phase. As for the divine forging technique of the third phase, we have placed it in the royal city. The specific information is in the jade slip. When the time comes, you can go to the royal city to get it.”

    When he said this, Li Luo found that the light and shadow between Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan suddenly began to dim, which made him tense up, and he knew in his heart that this exchange was probably coming to an end.

    “Dad, Mom…”

    Li Luo couldn’t help but stretched out his hand and grabbed the light and shadow, but it penetrated through.

    Li Taixuan and Tantai Lan looked down at him, their eyes full of kindness and love.

    “Xiao Luo, this time may be the end…”

    “Both father and mother believe that since you have chosen this path, you will definitely successfully get out of those five years of despair.”

    “Both father and mother know that you are worried about us, but don’t worry, we can’t bear to do anything until we see you again.”

    “Finally, Xiao Luo, you have to remember that no matter how worried you are about us, you are not allowed to come looking for us before you are granted the title of Marquis.”

    The light and shadow continued to dim, and finally disappeared completely, and the room became quiet and dim again.

    Li Luo was sitting in front of the black crystal ball. His eyes were red, but in the end he did not cry. He just wiped his eyes and said softly: “Dad, mother… thank you for everything you have done for me.”

    “Please wait…when we meet again in the future, I will definitely make you feel shocked and proud of me.”

    Gradually putting away the surging emotions in his heart, Li Luo first reached out to put away the black jade slip in the crystal ball, and then turned his attention to the other strange object that shone with azure and sacred light.

    “Starting from today…”

    “I am also a person with a compatibility.”

    Li Luo’s eyes were filled with intense heat at this moment. Without any hesitation, he directly stretched out his palm and grabbed the acquired sign.

    laugh!

    At the moment of contact, first a cold feeling surged from the palm of his hand, and then, an indescribable pain suddenly erupted directly in Li Luo’s body.

    The severe pain was so intense that it instantly overwhelmed Li Luo’s reason. His vision suddenly went dark, and he slowly collapsed.
