"Eh, I'm not dead yet?" Chen Jiu opened his eyes slightly and saw the stone palace clearly. The stone palace was not big, and there were almost no decorations or decorations. It was empty and quiet.
Since there was no danger at the moment, Chen Jiu could not help but check his body's condition. He was shocked.
His original intention was to attract the lightning to his Dantian. But now, his meridians were tougher and wider, and the most important Dantian acupoint had exploded.
It extended in all directions, and all the meridians in his body had to go through the Dantian. This was the core.
'Sizzle …' Like an endless funnel, all the Nine-Five Supreme Origin Energy in his meridians leaked out, not leaving a single bit behind.
"F * ck, I'm not going to be crippled, am I?" Chen Jiu was speechless and regretful. If he had known, he would not have been so reckless.
Chen Jiu was helpless about not being able to store his essence force. Right now, it was more important for him to regain his mobility. With great difficulty, he circulated the Nine-Five Supreme Technique. Fortunately, there was plenty of Yang and Positive essence force here. He quickly recovered.
After he recovered, the charred dragon scales on his body fell off layer by layer, and his skin became smooth again.
Chen Jiu did not have time to care about his indecent appearance. He looked around, and suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his back. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground.
In the stone palace, there was a person sitting at a table, drinking and drinking. There was actually a living person drinking and watching.
"Senior, please forgive me. I did not mean to barge in. Please be magnanimous and let me go …" Chen Jiu knew that he could not afford to offend such a peerless expert. He immediately knelt down and apologized sincerely.
He kowtowed many times and spoke many words, but the other party still did not respond. This made Chen Jiu speechless. You should at least say something. You are a living person, don't you understand human language?
Is he dead? Chen Jiu's bold guess immediately emboldened him. He secretly looked at the person in the hall. The person in the hall was middle-aged, but his temples were full of white hair. He raised his cup in front of him and looked melancholy, but he was reluctant to drink.
"Is he dead or not?" Chen Jiu looked at the lifelike figure and was unsure.
After waiting for a while, Chen Jiu couldn't stand it anymore. He boldly stepped forward and gently took the middle-aged man's wine glass. Seeing that there was still some wine left in the glass, he drank without hesitation. "What kind of good wine is this? You're actually reluctant to drink it?"
"Slurp —" Chen Jiu, on the other hand, was delighted. The wine tasted sweet, like divine dew from the heavens. It melted in his mouth and seeped into his limbs and bones, making him feel extremely comfortable.
"Zzz …" As the alcohol entered his meridians, a shocking change occurred. Outside of his dantian, his meridians were shattered into chaos and lost all of his origin energy. However, at this moment, they began to repair themselves.
The meridians extended and inserted into the chaotic acupoints in his dantian. Finally, they condensed and combined together again, restoring Chen Jiu's cultivation as a Level 4 warrior.
Of course, although one would be a Level 4 warrior as long as they were full of origin energy, Chen Jiu looked at the chaotic acupoints in his dantian. He instinctively felt that it wasn't that simple. Vaguely, there seemed to be something growing in the chaos, giving him a special feeling.
"Good wine. Is there any more?" Chen Jiu was greedy for wine. He immediately wanted a second cup, but unfortunately, there was nothing on the table. There was no jug at all.
"Forget it. One cup of good wine is enough," Chen Jiu said. He unceremoniously stuffed the wine glass into the Nine Dragon Ring and didn't return it.
Then, he naturally looked at the only living dead in the Shi Mansion. This man, Wei Yan's body, had passed away in a sitting posture here. It hadn't changed for thousands of years. He must be someone with a great background.
Who could he be? Chen Jiu looked carefully. The man was wearing simple clothes, not luxurious at all. He couldn't see a single precious treasure on his body.
Could he be a pauper? Chen Jiu was speechless. He was very dissatisfied.
"Forget it. I don't have time to waste here. Today is the day to pay the debt. I can't avoid it. Isn't she just a stinky woman? What's the big deal? "Chen Jiu endured the disgust and touched the man's body. He still couldn't find anything. He couldn't help but want to give up.
He turned around and wanted to leave. However, an idea flashed in his mind. He looked at the middle-aged man with shifty eyes. Chen Jiu said apologetically, "Senior, you passed away in a sitting posture here. It's really pitiful to be alone. It's fate that brought us together today. Why don't you use your broken body to help me?"
"Alright, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes." Chen Jiu was really shameless. Following that, he suddenly threw out a punch, hitting the man's back heavily. "Nine Dragon Ring, absorb the Blood Qi!"
"Zzz …" The Nine Dragon Ring emitted a faint light like a black hole that devoured everything. The stalwart man that had never changed throughout the ages was now slowly withering away.
Not long after, the black hole swallowed the middle-aged man. Only his skin and bones were left. The dragon also transmitted a huge amount of merit points. Chen Jiu was very excited.
One million merit points. Chen Jiu almost fell to the ground in shock. The man's broken body had so much blood energy that it hadn't dissolved. From this, one could see how incredible he was when he was alive.
"Senior, I'll definitely repay your kindness in the future." Chen Jiu comforted him with empty words. He immediately loosened his fist.
"Boom!" There was no more blood energy. The bones broke and the skin collapsed. A genius of a generation turned into dust just like that.
"Clang!" Chen Jiu, who was about to leave, was suddenly attracted by the sound of a sword.
The man's body melted. A sword intent emerged from his body. It was like a real immortal sword. Although it was small, it was mysterious and unfathomable.
Loneliness. At this moment, the sword intent gave people a feeling of extreme loneliness. It was as if it was the only sword in the world. It couldn't find any companions. It was lonely and lonely for life.
"Sigh, could it be that he was a romantic? Otherwise, how could there be such a lonely sword intent?" Chen Jiu was slightly suspicious. The sword intent represented the human heart. If the human heart was lonely, it would naturally be lonely as well.
Presumably, this middle-aged man was all-powerful in the past. However, he couldn't obtain true love. Therefore, he sat in his cave and longed for the heavens. He died of depression.
"What a pity. When you meet someone you love, what's the use of not pursuing it wholeheartedly?" Chen Jiu shook his head. His point of view was different from the middle-aged man's.
Some people were rejected by their loved ones and couldn't get over it. They would be depressed for the rest of their lives. However, Chen Jiu was different. He felt that life was short and should be happy. When you meet someone you love, you must pursue it wholeheartedly. Even if you fail, you must face it openly. Because in this world, there will always be love that belongs to you.
"Sword intent, come with me. I'll take you away from this lonely world. You'll be all-powerful again." Chen Jiu waved his hand. He actually wanted to take the sword intent. This treasure was probably the culmination of the man's lifetime of cultivation. Naturally, he couldn't let it go.
