Luo Jiujiang thought that the moment he came out of the mountain, he would be able to see Qianling waiting outside.
Therefore, when he broke free from the chaos, he turned around and not only did he not see any trace of Qianling, he didn't even sense any breath left by the other party. He couldn't help but be very surprised.
What had led Qian Ling away? Is he alright now? This was the first thought that popped into Luo Jiujiang's mind.
It was not until Luo Jiujiang calmed down and looked around his surroundings that he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Luo Jiujiang picked up the Five Elements Essence in his arms, which was as docile as a ginger cat, and asked helplessly, "This isn't the mountain I originally entered. Where did you move us to?"
The spirit of the five elements nodded and said, but its eyes were fixed on the scenery outside, and it seemed that it didn't pay any attention to Luo Jiujiang's words.
Luo Jiujiang sighed and chuckled, giving the Five Elements Spirit a slap on the head. He didn't hold him back for more questions, but simply laid him on the ground and observed him. He roughly scanned the area with his spiritual sense, locating the east direction. He mentally deduced several times based on the distribution of the surrounding exotic beasts, and finally determined that he was currently at the westernmost point of the entire holy land.
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
I didn't realize the Five Elements Essence had any other miraculous abilities. Could it be that, as a ball, it naturally rolls faster? When he and Qianling ascended the Holy Land, they had clearly been pioneering in the eastern part of the Holy Land.
Now Luo Jiujiang's goal can only change from "talking to Qianling about the feelings of separation these days" to "finding Qianling first."
The culprit who caused this situation was still unaware of it. The little guy had never seen so many living creatures before. If Luo Jiujiang had not stopped him quickly, the Five Elements Spirit would have almost pounced on a deer and drooled.
"We're leaving." Luo Jiujiang patted the top of his head, signaling him to come back to his senses. "Do you want me to be carried or carried?"
The spirit of the five elements opened its little hands and said in a sweet voice, "I want to be held!"
Luo Jiujiang bent down and picked him up, cradling the little fellow in one arm. The Five Elements Spirit observed his expression, and after a moment, feeling safe, it stretched out its lotus-root-like arms and wrapped them around Luo Jiujiang's neck.
"Where are we going?"
"I'll take you to meet another big brother." Luo Jiujiang didn't shy away from talking about this topic in front of the child. "He is the one I love most."
The weight of the word "true love" was beyond the grasp of a child's Five Elements essence. He rubbed his eyes with his fists, cradling his true form—the sphere that could change shape or size—in his arms. After a long moment, he uncertainly asked Luo Jiujiang a question.
"You really don't want me to be your weapon?"
"I only need a sword, and I already have Chengxue." Luo Jiujiang held the essence of the five elements in one hand, and patted the long sword at his waist with his other hand. "He is also a brother who shares my thoughts and feelings. I will not replace him."
"Then," the Five Elements Spirit bit his petal-like lips, hesitating for a long time before asking, "Why did you come into the ruins to find me?"
Over the past ten thousand years, it's not as if no one had entered the hill where the Five Elements Essence's true form resided. Most of those who entered believed it was a cave dwelling left behind by some powerful being and simply wanted to try their luck. A few, knowing more, believed the Dragon God's ruins must contain something truly remarkable. Sadly, in the end, all of them, without exception, lost their lives here.
They all came for the Five Elements Essence, and the Five Elements Essence knew it all. Otherwise, why would these people be willing to walk into the dark chaos without sunlight when the outside world was so beautiful?
But Luo Jiujiang doesn't want him to be his weapon now.
"In the beginning, I did go there for the Dragon God Ruins." Luo Jiujiang did not hide this, "But I don't lack anything. I just want to equip Qianling with a sword."
Han Qianling always had a calm demeanor, unpretentious about his food, clothing, and weapons. Even if he opened his eyes one morning and found his Shenxue Palace torn apart, he probably wouldn't even frown, but would simply continue living there in peace.
As long as Luo Jiujiang is not touched, he is a very unpicky person.
But Luo Jiujiang always wanted to give him the best.
The Five Elements Essence was a weapon his father had once wielded, so it was definitely more suitable for the Dragon Clan. Furthermore, its ability to transform into various forms made it even more suitable for the versed Han Qianling. If Han Qianling suddenly changed his weapon at a crucial moment in a clash, it would be a surprising move.
From the very beginning, Luo Jiujiang had never considered replacing Cheng Xue. He entered the Dragon God Ruins partly for Han Qianling's hope, and partly to give Qianling a weapon worthy of him.
"But I didn't expect that you have already cultivated spiritual consciousness." Luo Jiujiang gently touched the chubby little face of the Five Elements Essence.
"Now that you've cultivated your spiritual consciousness, you're no longer just a simple weapon—just like my Chengxue, now that she's met me, she's no longer just any random knife out there."
The Five Elements Spirit seemed to understand something: "So, Chengxue is your brother, and I am your younger brother."
Luo Jiujiang smiled and said, "As long as you are willing."
"..." The Five Elements Essence raised his face and stammered, "But I've never been anyone else's brother... If I were to become your brother, what would I need to do?"
"Of course it's for the good of me, your older brother. You have to listen to me and don't cry. You have to go wherever I tell you to go." Luo Jiujiang joked for a moment before saying seriously, "But first, we have to find that big brother called Han Qianling, and then we can come up with a name for you together."
