Chapter 3 - The mysterious old man in ancient jade

Liam was in the middle of his lament when suddenly a voice of vicissitudes sounded: "What, little man, you can't hold on so fast?" There was a hint of derision in his voice.

'Who? Liam gets up and looks around, but doesn't see anyone around.

Could it be that you're hearing voices? Liam thinks, shaking his head.

But as soon as I finished thinking about it, the voice sounded again: "Hey, how come the little guy doesn't even believe his own ears?"

This time Liam heard someone really speaking, and the voice should be an older person, otherwise there would be no vicissitudes between the words.

"Where are you? Come out quickly." Liam's face grew tense and he kept glancing around, but he couldn't see anyone.

You're not gonna see a ghost, are you? Liam's mind suddenly came up with such an idea, it is said that in this stone house has died several Smith family servants, is it possible that they have become evil ghosts back?

The more Liam thought about it, the more he realized it was possible. The pores all over his body had opened wide and a little cold sweat was already leaking from his forehead.

"The old husband is on you." The voice sounded out of thin air again, with a hint of playfulness in the words.

Liam heard the other side in their own body, scared hurriedly in their own body to check the half sound, after no abnormal, this just a little calm down, courage: "Who are you, why pretend to be a ghost, have the ability to speak."

The voice grinned and said, "Since you let the old man out, then the old man has to come out, but don't be scared."

As he spoke, Liam felt his chest vibrate, and then saw the piece of jade hanging from his chest break free from the red thread holding it and float in front of him.

Then a flash of streamer light, a mock nothingness of the figure actually floated out of the ancient jade, the wind will be long, long until a normal person's height before stopping.

Liam will be able to see this very clearly, this is an older man who must be the one who was speaking.

"Are you a man or a ghost?" Liam asked cautiously.

Liam this ancient jade is the only relic left by his parents, and he has worn it since childhood, never knowing that this ancient jade is strange. Even more did not think that he was hanging in the chest of the ancient jade actually hidden such a supernatural ghost of the old man.

The old man did not answer Liam's words, but stared at Liam with a little praise, his hands fell behind him, quite a fairy bone momentum, and said: "The little guy is brave, I thought you would be scared away when you see the old husband."

"Well, I'm not afraid of you." Liam stiffens his scalp.

Originally, Liam's first thought was to run, but then he thought that the other party had unknowingly followed him for more than ten years, if he wanted to harm himself, he would have started, and didn't have to wait until now. So a nervous heart also calmed down a little.

"If you're not afraid, the little fellow has some courage."

"What are you, and how did you get into my jade?"

"I'm not a thing." As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly coughed dry to hide the embarrassment on his face and said, "To be exact, I am just a ghost."

"Ghost?" Liam mumbled a little puzzled.

The old man seemed to recall some sad events, his face sometimes showed a hint of murder, sometimes showed a hint of helplessness, but he did not want to tell Liam more, just a light sentence: "To put it simply, the old man's body has been destroyed, and now this remnant soul is the old man who escaped from this ancient jade, and has been living in this ancient jade for many years, and finally fell in this Silvermoon Valley, before your parents bought it for you."

"Oh," he said. Liam kind of got it.

The old man did not pay too much attention to Liam, but continued: "But what I did not expect is that your soul force is very strong, martial talent is beyond my expectations, if not for your sacrifice over the years, I am afraid I would not wake up so quickly."

"Offering?" Liam seemed to think of something, his face was cold, and he said: "So I can't break through the nine levels in five years is all your fault?"

The old man's face became a little abnormal, but he still forced a smile and said, "The little guy is very smart."

The answer is self-evident.

"I'm smart, mom." Liam's anger, which has been building up for five years, finds its boiling point, snatches the jade and hurls it at the stone wall.

The old man seems to have thought of Liam's action long ago, in the moment of Liam's hand, the whole body shrank and disappeared directly in the ancient jade.

Gu Yu just a shot, Liam regret, quickly reach out to catch, but always a step slow, Gu Yu hit the stone wall, the rebound force just landed it in the courtyard of the ancient well.

A crisp sound into the water, the ancient jade is just a ripple in the well then slowly sinking down.

Liam suddenly regrets his impulse and shouts at the wellhead, "Hey, are you there?"

After several successive sounds, there was only the echo of himself in the well, and the old man seemed to disappear completely with the ancient jade.

When Liam was thinking about whether to go down the well himself, he saw the ancient well with a brilliant flow, and the ancient jade slowly floated up from the bottom of the well, and the figure of the old man appeared again.

Gu Yufu stopped at the mouth of the well so that the old man and Liam could see each other face to face.

The old man did not seem angry, but smiled faintly and said, "Why did the little one get so angry?"

"You don't think I should lose my temper?" Liam's still angry.

"My old husband has come to rescue you."

"Help me?" Liam sneered: "If you didn't make me, how could I be here now?"

The old man waved his hand, showing a meaningful expression, and said: "The little guy old husband, this can be for your good."

"For my own good, that is unusual." Liam sneers.

"Think, little fellow, if it were not for the old husband, how could you see the true faces of those brothers and sisters in your family?"

From what the old man says, Liam thinks so too.

But Liam still can't forgive the old man for what he did to him, fuming: 'Even if that's the case, you did me a favor by making me feel ridiculed for five years?'

The old man rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and smiled: "The old husband admitted that I was a little sorry for you, but the old husband showed up today to repay you for your sacrifices over the years."

Liam rolled his eyes and asked, "Is it that if you no longer stay in the ancient jade, my refined heaven and earth spirit will not disappear?"

The old man didn't understand why Liam was suddenly asking, but he nodded and said, "Now the old man has fully awakened and no longer needs to absorb your refined reiki."

"Well, then go away."

"You drove the old man away, why?" The old man was a little stunned.

"As long as you leave, then my talent is equal to return, sooner or later I can stand on the top again, why need your help, and who knows if you have any harmful tricks."

The old man knows Liam is still angry with himself, and laughs: "Little guy, why do you use the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman?"

Liam did not give in at all, and his brow pointed out: "As long as you leave, I will be a villain again."

Seeing Liam's resolute attitude, the old man suddenly showed a strange smile and said, "Well, this is what you said to let the old husband go, and then you don't ask the old husband to come back."

"I beg you to come back, you dream?" Liam didn't give a shit.

The old man did not worry, smiled mysteriously, did not worry slowly: "Before leaving kindly remind you that your talent is true, but after a year if you do not reach the seven products of the cultivation of Qi, or inevitably be expelled from the Smith family."

Listening to the old man, Liam also suddenly thought of something, according to the rules of the Smith family, the disciples who have not reached the seven qualities of the qi cultivation at the age of 15 will be asked to leave the Smith family.

Or to help the Smith family to manage the business, or to go to the Smith family to supervise which mining area. It's almost impossible to come back.

"Wait a minute." Liam's a little worried.

The older man seemed to have known Liam would make the move, flashing a smirk and pretending to ask: 'What else can I do for you?'

Liam wants to go up there and kick the old man's ass, and he's getting a good deal out of it. But now things are stronger than people, Liam has to hold back his anger, gritted his teeth and said: "I want you to stay."

"What did you say? I can't hear you very well." The old man deliberately put one side of the ear, that look really underflat.

Liam is not easy to talk to the Lord, simply wave his hand, coldly: "didn't hear even if, as I said nothing."

The old man did not expect Liam to be so cruel, extended his thumb and said: "Really have the courage, to the old husband's appetite, the old husband decided to stay."

Liam insinuates that the old man is not too serious, but seeing him willing to help him now, the anger in his heart has disappeared.

The present also does not nonsense straight into the theme: "Seniors have a way to let me achieve seven products within a year?"

The old man enjoyed hearing Liam call him a senior, saying: "The little guy is quite smart, since the old man promised to help naturally there is a way."

Looking at the older man's confidence, Liam looked unconvinced.

Noticing Liam's somewhat distrustful eyes, the old man once again promised, "As long as you do what the old husband said, you can definitely achieve seven products in a year."

"Yes, I do." Liam nodded in agreement, after all, for Liam, regardless of whether the old man said is true, but this is his only hope now, now everything can only rely on the old man.

Moreover, a person who has been destroyed and can rely on a residual soul to survive is definitely not a simple character, and this ability is estimated that no one in the entire Sunshine Federation will be, and the old man in front of him is definitely a cow. This is Liam's own theory.

For such a powerful person as the old man, there should be a way to achieve seven qualities of qi cultivation within a year.

Liam was about to say more when the old man suddenly gave a shudder and said, "Someone's coming." Then it disappeared in the ancient jade, the ancient jade also then Guanghua convergence, back to Liam's hands, become as usual, everything as if it had not happened.

Liam also hurriedly put the jade into his arms, for fear of being discovered.
