Chapter 41 Sworn Brothers (2/2)
After the deadly confrontation with the two blue-robed men, Lyu Liang realized that it was essential to cultivate more people of his own. Especially with the continuous improvement of cultivation, there would be more and more difficulties and obstacles in the future. It was better to have help from others to conceal the secret instead of doing all the covering up by himself.
So far, except for a few senior Ancestors, only Zhao Tianding and Lyu Xinyun knew all his secrets. These two people were definitely trustworthy. Of course, there was still the blue-eyed Giant Tiger, although it was a demon beast, sometimes it was more reliable than humans.
As for Xu Mubai and Li Wuyi, Lyu Liang could tell them about the things regarding the Demon Emperor Horn. However, he would keep confidential his own identity and the existence of the Virtual Land until he had a deeper understanding of them.
After coming out of Li Wuyi's residence, Lyu Liang went to look for Zhao Tianding and told him about the situation. He then invited him to the party at the herb garden three days later.
After that, Lyu Liang went to the Hunyuan Sword Immortal and was sent directly to the trial field to find the Giant Tiger that was cultivating. He did not say anything else and just called it to go to the herb garden three days later to eat and drink.
After returning to the back mountain, he went to the herb garden to see the old herb man and informed him of the situation three days later. The old herb man did not have any objections. Anyway, the things that Lyu Liang gave him last time were enough to sustain a year, even if more people came this time, it was not a big deal.
...
Three days later, the herb garden at the back mountain had the most lively night ever.
At the table, Lyu Liang first introduced his relationship with Zhao Tianding and the Giant Tiger. One was his fellow mate and the other was his servant. As for Zhang Ran and the old herb man, they belonged to the fixed personnel of the back mountain, and everyone knew them without introduction.
Shortly after dinner, everyone behaved like a mortal. They drank wine with one another, they joked and had endless fun. Even Zhao Tianding, who always liked to put on an indifferent look, made a toast to everyone, and it was apparent that he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
At present, these people were also the most trustworthy people around Lyu Liang. What Lyu Liang hoped to see was that they could familiarize themselves with each other and thus take care of each other.
During the banquet, everyone first congratulated Lyu Liang for breaking through on both his cultivation and Sword Tao. Later, Li Wuyi also disclosed the awakening of his Mysterious Soul Body. It turned out that people with a special constitution like the Mysterious Soul were hard to awaken. They must integrate the Soul Fixation Pearl into their Divine Soul to be awakened. The most incredible part about the Mysterious Soul Body was that they could neglect bottlenecks during cultivation, even when they had to survive the heaven ordeal and face the most frightening Inner Devil, they could pass it easily.
Everyone sighed and looked at the Li Wuyi with envious eyes. The Mysterious Soul Body was born to be cultivated to the Almighty Immortal! No wonder the two blue-robed men were so obsessed with Li Wuyi.
After listening to Li Wuyi's words, everyone consciously made a life-bonded vow to ensure that no one would reveal his special constitution. After all, this constitution was the ideal body that many cultivators yearned for! The crucial part of the Mysterious Soul Body was the soul. There were countless evil ways in the world to steal or take the soul. If someone with evil intentions learned about Li Wuyi, he would hardly be safe for the rest of his life.
After four hours, everyone was mostly done with eating and drinking, and they began to say goodbye one by one. Lyu Liang brought Xu Mubai and Li Wuyi back to his cave residence. As for the two followers, Zhang Youshan and Li Xiaobai, Li Wuyi decided to let them go back first. After all, Lyu Liang only called him.
Upon returning to the cave residence, Lyu Liang first stimulated the ban. Then he took out the Demon Emperor Horn from his arms and told them in detail about the Land of Origin.
”You are saying that we need to improve our cultivation to at least the Middle-stage of Gold Core in twenty years? Brother Xu is currently at the Late-stage, and I am still at the Early-stage. However, with my Mysterious Soul Body, I should be able to reach the Late-stage in twenty years,” Li Wuyi patted his chest with confidence, it seemed that upgrading was as simple as eating and sleeping.
”Well, although my constitution is not as good as that of Taoism peer Li, and my talent is not as good as Taoism peer Lyu, I will try my best to upgrade to the Peak in twenty years. Thus, we will have a better advantage during conflicts in the future!” Xu Mubai was very excited. He had always been peaceful, but now his eyes were sparkling with burning desire.
After discussing it for a while, the three of them agreed that the rest of the time would be spent on upgrading their cultivation. After twenty years, they would meet again at the back mountain of the Sword Character Immortal Palace.
Before their separation, Li Wuyi suddenly banged the table and stood up with one knee kneeling on the ground. He said solemnly to the two of them, ”My two brothers, though I am stupid, I know who is really good to me! On that day when you saved me when I was in danger, I said, if you guys don't detest me, I would like to be a brother to you for the rest of my life! We shall stick together through thick and thin! What you think?”
Looking at the sincerity in the eyes of Li Wuyi, Lyu Liang and Xu Mubai took a glance at each other and kneeled together! In the end, all three of them made a life-bonded vow. Xu Mubai was the oldest and would be the elder brother, Li Wuyi would be the second brother, and Lyu Liang who was the youngest would be the youngest brother. After the vow, their three palms held together tightly!
On this ordinary night, three strangers who had different personalities made a vow to become lifelong brothers by the arrangement of fate.
Years later, even if they embarked on different paths, even when they fought against each other, they would never forget the three palms that clung to each other tightly...
