Not only did the news of the demon's destruction spread throughout the country in a short period of time, it even spread to other countries. Luo Ping's name was once again mentioned. In a short few years, his deeds were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
While the entire country was immersed in joy, the members of the 'Paparazzi Alliance' had already started to gather information everywhere.
However, everything was done in secret and did not attract anyone's attention.
… … …
"Phew! Peak Martial Lord, not bad. "
Taking a deep breath, Luo Ping ended his cultivation. After three months, he finally raised his cultivation to peak Martial Lord. Although he didn't advance to Martial King, it was only a matter of time.
Moreover, after cultivating the Three Elements in One Godly Formula, the amount of energy gathered in his Dantian had increased compared to before due to the relatively dense Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth.
With his current overall strength, if he were to fight the demon again, he would probably be able to fight alone for a while without losing.
If he wanted to defeat or even kill the demon alone, he would have to at least raise his realm to the Martial King or even the Xiantian Martial King level. However, since his realm had already been raised to a level that matched his actual strength, when he advanced, his strength would not increase by too much, unless there was a breakthrough in his cultivation technique.
The three-month deadline was up. Luo Ping directly left the cave and rushed to the headquarters of the 'Paparazzi Alliance'. As he expected, the 'Paparazzi Alliance' really did find out about the three peerless weapons in three months.
After receiving the news, Luo Ping didn't stay any longer and directly left the 'Paparazzi Alliance'.
Hurrying along, Luo Ping left the Xi Province and returned to the You Province because one of the peerless weapons was in a first-rate sect in the You Province.
"The 'Holy Ground Armor' is in the You Province's' Celestial Ruins Sect ', the' Azure Rain Staff 'is in the Chi Province's' Pine Crane Sect ', and the' Astral Comet Axe 'is in a civil official's house in the Ba Province. That's strange, but luckily they're not too far away. Three months should be enough."
Along the way, Luo Ping recalled the locations of the three peerless weapons and calculated the time. He wouldn't waste too much time, and the three prefectures just happened to be close to each other, so it would be more convenient.
A few days later, in front of the Ruins Star Sect, a handsome young man came to visit and was quickly invited in.
A few hours later, the young man's figure reappeared. He left the sect without looking back and began to rush to the Bazhou.
…
"General Luo, please forgive this lowly official for being unable to agree to your conditions. This' Star Comet Axe 'is a family heirloom passed down by my ancestors. Although it has been passed down to me, I am unable to display its value and use. However, I absolutely cannot give it away, right?"
"Lord Lan, this general has already said that I can take out treasures of equal value to exchange with you. Why are you still so stubborn?"
"No, no. Even if you give this official a mountain of gold and silver, this official will not agree."
Although this Lord Lan didn't know how Luo Ping knew that his family had the 'Star Comet Axe', he would not give in no matter what.
Luo Ping had already discussed with the other party for a long time, but he still couldn't persuade the other party. Just when he was at his wit's end, a servant suddenly rushed in.
"Lord, it's not good. Young Master's illness has flared up again. Madam wants you to hurry over and take a look."
When Lord Lan heard this, he didn't have time to say anything more to Luo Ping. He directly passed by the servant and ran to the backyard. Although Luo Ping didn't know what was going on, he could still make out some clues from the servant's words. Thus, he followed behind the servant and also came to the backyard.
"Lord, hurry up and take a look. Yu 'er's illness is even more serious this time. He just spat out a large mouthful of black blood. If we can't find a Godly Doctor, I'm afraid. Lord, you must save Yu' er!"
Before he even stepped into the room, Luo Ping heard the voice of an old woman. She was sobbing, sad and emotional. When he walked into the room, he saw that Lord Lan was already sitting by the bed, tightly holding a pair of small hands.
There were five or six people gathered by the bed. A plump old woman was holding a handkerchief and constantly wiping the tears from her eyes. Luo Ping knew at a glance that this was the one who had just spoken.
Beside the old woman, there was a young man and woman. The two should be a couple. The woman was lying on the man's shoulder. Both of them had a worried expression and their eyes were red.
From his understanding of Lord Lan's family situation, Luo Ping could conclude that this young man and woman were Lord Lan's son and daughter-in-law.
He walked in front and looked again. The person lying on the bed was a boy around six or seven years old. His eyes were closed and his face was filled with pain. His complexion was pale and waxen. Moreover, he looked very thin and weak, without a trace of vitality.
"Yu 'er, Grandpa is here. Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely help you find the best doctor to help you cure your chronic illness. With Grandpa here, even if I go bankrupt, I will definitely not let anything happen to you."
Lord Lan's voice was unusually gentle, loving, and full of emotions. He gently rubbed his small hands on his face.
"Grandpa, Yu 'er is not afraid of death. Yu' er is just worried that I won't be able to accompany Grandpa to chat, read, or play games in the future. Grandpa, you will be very lonely."
Although the boy lying on the bed was very young, his words were like those of an adult. Luo Ping, who was standing at the side, admired him very much.
After the boy finished speaking, he slowly wiped the tears from the corners of his grandfather's eyes. He said again, "Grandpa, if Yu 'er's chronic illness really can't be cured, Yu' er hopes that Grandpa can be happy in the future, okay?"
His determined and tenacious eyes looked at his grandfather expectantly. Lord Lan, who had been in the bureaucracy for a long time and had seen all kinds of storms, was suddenly speechless. He didn't know how to answer.
Be happy? How could he be happy after losing his grandson? Could he agree? But if he didn't agree, it would undoubtedly make his grandson more sad and blame himself.
After a lot of hesitation, Lord Lan decided that he would rather lie to his grandson than let him have regrets. Just as he was about to open his mouth to answer, a voice sounded. It was as if everyone present had grasped at a life-saving straw.
"Little guy, who said that your chronic illness can't be cured?"
Everyone turned around to see a handsome young man standing behind them. He was looking at the boy on the bed with a smile on his face.
Lord Lan only then remembered that he had forgotten the existence of this great general because he had left in a hurry. His expression changed, and he was about to get up and apologize.
"Lord Lan, there's no need to get up. The one on the bed is your grandson, right? What's his name? Why is he in bed? "
Luo Ping hurriedly waved his hand to stop Lord Lan. He then asked about the boy's situation. Lord Lan saw this and knew that the other party wasn't angry, so he answered.
"That's right, it's my grandson. His name is Lan Yu. When he was three years old, he suddenly fainted for no reason one day when he was playing. Later, we found a doctor to check on him. There was nothing wrong, so we didn't pay much attention to it. But later, this kind of situation often happened, and it became more and more serious. In the end …"
Lord Lan's voice choked up as he spoke. He looked lovingly at his grandson before continuing.
"In the end, Yu 'er not only fainted for no reason, but also bled from his mouth and nose. We found many doctors, but they couldn't find the cause. In the past few years, this official has practically invited all the famous doctors in the capital, but they were all helpless. In the past half year, Yu' er's condition has been deteriorating. It has developed to the point where he vomits black blood. Just now, he vomited another large mouthful."
Lord Lan didn't hide anything from Luo Ping. It wasn't just because of Luo Ping's identity, but also because of Luo Ping's words just now. Lord Lan had some expectations.
As an official of the imperial court, he was very familiar with Luo Ping's experiences. He was a lucky person who had met an immortal and been accepted as a disciple.
"General Luo, do you have a way to save Yu 'er? As long as you can cure Yu' er's chronic illness, this official can agree to any condition."
Before Luo Ping could reply, the old woman and the young man and woman immediately began to plead.
"Please, General Luo, save Yu 'er."
"As long as General Luo can cure Yu 'er, I am willing to do anything to repay my lord's kindness."
"This old woman begs General Luo, please show mercy and save my precious grandson!"
As they spoke, they were about to kneel. Luo Ping immediately reached out a hand to support them, but an invisible force prevented them from kneeling.
"Lord Lan, don't worry. I've just taken a look at Lan Yu's condition. I'm one hundred percent sure that I can cure his chronic illness. However, I don't need you to do anything to repay me. I just need Lord Lan to agree to my conditions."
Lord Lan's expression immediately changed at Luo Ping's words. He didn't immediately reply. Meanwhile, the old woman and the young man and woman looked at Lord Lan in confusion.
"Master, what condition is General Luo talking about? Just say yes to him. "
"That's right. Father, no matter what the condition is, saving Yu 'er is more important."
Seeing that Lord Lan didn't speak, the old woman and young man asked one after another.
"General Luo wants our family's heirloom, the 'Astral Comet Axe'!"
Lord Lan finally said the purpose of Luo Ping's trip, causing them to be shocked.
"What?" 'Astral Comet Axe'? "
For a moment, the room fell into a short silence. However, the boy on the bed spoke at this time.
"I don't need your treatment. What kind of hero is taking advantage of others? If saving my life requires the 'Astral Comet Axe' in exchange, then I'm willing to not treat you."
The words of the boy, Lan Yu, surprised Luo Ping. Not only was he persistent and sensible, he also had such a backbone. This caused his favorable impression of the boy to increase by a few points.
"Yu 'er, don't be rude."
After Lord Lan pretended to reprimand him, he finally sighed and agreed to Luo Ping's request. However, he added an additional condition that caught Luo Ping off guard.
"As long as General Luo can cure Yu 'er's chronic illness, I can agree to your condition. However, I still have a request. I hope that General Luo can take Yu' er as your disciple."
"Take in a disciple?"
This time, it caused Luo Ping to be somewhat silent.
This was because, although he admired the qualities of this boy, when it came to the matter of taking in a disciple, he really was somewhat hesitant.
Although his strength had long reached the level of establishing a sect, in his mind, the path of cultivation was dull and tedious, accompanied by thrills and excitement. If he wanted to pursue the peak of cultivation, enter the Cultivation Domain, or even cultivate in the Cultivation Domain, he had to put aside some trivial matters of the mortal world and devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
