The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2854 Borrowing the Sword

After hearing this, everyone looked at Ma Xianglong and Qian Ying. Although they didn't know why they wanted to keep him, they felt that it was not a good thing.

However, they didn't say anything. After all, Qian Ying's deterrence was there, so who could say anything? Even Zhou Zixing wouldn't interrupt. After all, the gap between him and Qian Ying was quite large. Although he was a master of the second level of Xiantian, he was not even on the same level compared to a warrior of the third level of Xiantian.

When the leaders of other families walked away, Ma Xianglong saw that Qian Ying did not speak, but looked at Huanpo thoughtfully, so he asked softly, "Elder Qian, I wonder what you want me to do?"

His demeanor was somewhat humble and a bit rough. There was no other way. When Ma Sanxing was still alive, he didn't need to come to discuss with Qian Ying face to face, but now there was no other way. Since Ma Sanxing died, he could only bite the bullet and go on stage.

Qian Ying's intimidation was too great, and it was really stressful for him. Although the three levels of innateness were only four words, the meaning they represented could become a legend in the martial arts world.

Just like the tenth-level acquired warriors from other families, they also felt quite pressured when facing Qian Ying.

Therefore, Ma Xianglong was somewhat humble and had a rough life. Moreover, he didn't know what Qian Ying wanted to ask him by keeping him here.

Qian Ying seemed not to hear Ma Xianglong's voice and did not turn back. She was still looking at the gentle slope of the hill in a daze.

At this moment, Ma Xianglong really didn’t know what to say. He could only stand aside and wait for a while.

The wind and snow were blowing hard against his clothes, but he couldn't calm down and was always in a state of anxiety.

After a while, Ma Xianglong asked again in a low voice.

This time, he was not disappointed. Qian Ying seemed to have heard his question and slowly turned around. He seemed to have just remembered that he had left Ma Xianglong here. He patted his head and said, "Look at me, I left you here because I wanted to talk about something, but when I thought about what happened on that hill, I couldn't help but be absent-minded. I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

Ma Xianglong finally felt a little relieved. Although he didn't know why Qian Ying kept him here, the fact that he could talk with a smile helped him calm down.

"Everyone in our expedition team still needs Elder Qian's care, and there are so many things to do. It's okay for me to wait for a while. Besides, it's a blessing for me, a junior, to obey Elder Qian's orders." Ma Xianglong said with a smile.

When Qian Ying heard what Ma Xianglong said, he immediately laughed, pointed at him and said, "You kid, I don't know how Elder Ma taught you, you are so good at dealing with things, very good!"

After saying this, he seemed to think of Ma Sanxing and sighed deeply: "Alas!"

"It's a pity that Elder Ma left in such a hurry."

Ma Xianglong felt sad in his heart, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, when we think of Elder Ma, we younger generations feel very uncomfortable."

Since Qian Ying didn't talk about the matter but was talking about these things, Ma Xianglong also actively cooperated and expressed his feelings with great emotion. He was as affectionate as he could be, but he didn't dare to shed tears. After all, the current ambient temperature was a bit low. Once tears flowed, they would freeze into ice lumps in an instant.

So, it’s a bit regrettable that I can’t shed tears to express my regret.

Qian Ying and Ma Xianglong followed the topic and talked for a while, which made Qian Ying somewhat accept Ma Xianglong.

Because, this little guy, well, he is nearly fifty years old, so in front of Qian Ying, a congenital warrior who is over a hundred years old, he is naturally a little guy.

This little guy is really cunning. I don’t know if it’s a genetic trait of the Ma family. Are all the other people in the Ma family like this? Or is this little guy like Ma Sanxing, both of them are foxes? It’s quite interesting.

However, Qian Ying would not be fooled, or have something to say but couldn't speak out, but would say whatever he wanted to say. After all, a master of the third level of innateness naturally has strong self-confidence and deterrence.

"Okay, let's get back to the point." Qian Ying's expression changed, and he became serious and solemn: "After the meeting, I kept you here just to ask you, is Ma Sanxing's innate weapon in your hands?"

Ma Xianglong was immediately startled. Damn it, this guy wants Elder Ma's weapon. What the hell, what should I do?

After Ma Sanxing and the alien beast died together, the weapon left behind was held by Ma Xianglong. This weapon was made by the Special Management Bureau for all Xiantians. Because it contains various special and rare alloys, the Xiantian dagger has become an extremely precious sword. In the martial arts world, it is also a symbol of Xiantian status.

After every warrior becomes an innate, the Special Management Bureau will present him with an innate dagger as a congratulations.

In fact, the reason why the Special Management Bureau gave the dagger was that it was a symbol of innateness and also to unite all innate warriors to fight against Western supernatural beings. No matter whether the innate warrior joined the Special Management Bureau or not, as long as he did not betray his country and did not join the West, he would be the target of the Special Management Bureau. As for this innate dagger, no matter which warrior it was, they all wanted to get it.

After Ma Sanxing died, his innate short sword was held by Ma Xianglong. At this moment in danger, having such an innate sword is simply a life-saving thing. And now Qian Ying raised this question, definitely coveting the innate short sword.

“This…” Ma Xianglong didn’t know what to say. After all, the innate dagger was in his hand, and many people saw it, even Qian Ying noticed it.

"You don't have to worry. I asked you because I want you to give me this weapon first. After all, my innate dagger was left on the gentle slope when I was dealing with the big white dough, and now I can't find it back. Therefore, I would like to borrow Elder Ma's weapon from you temporarily. After we leave here, I will return it to you immediately." Qian Ying said.

"The reason why I want to borrow it from you temporarily is because this place is full of various crises. As the person in charge and leader of the expedition team, I naturally have to face various dangers and enemies all the time. Now I have no weapons in my hands, and I can't exert my own strength." Qian Ying continued.

Ma Xianglong was depressed. If everyone could get out of here alive and return the borrowed innate dagger, there would be no problem. But what would be the use of returning it at that time?

This place is so dangerous, and having an innate dagger in hand can increase one's own strength, and not just one or two layers, but more. After all, a sword that can cut iron like mud plays a huge role in his hands.

If Elder Ma was here, there would be nothing to say, just rely on Elder Ma. Now that Elder Ma is gone, he can only rely on himself. No matter what happens to his own warriors, he must ensure that he survives, and every bit of strength increase is a good thing.

But now that Qian Ying said this, if I give the innate dagger to Qian Ying, how can I save my life?

"This..." Ma Xianglong didn't know what to do.

Qian Ying could understand Ma Xianglong's idea, but with weapons, Qian Ying's own strength could also be guaranteed. After all, the domain is not omnipotent, and there is a difference between having weapons in hand and not having weapons in hand.

Just like when facing the big white dough, he dared to attack the big white dough with weapons, but without weapons, he did not dare to attack directly. After all, once it came into contact with absolute zero, it would directly turn into a block of ice.

We don’t know what we will encounter later, so we must borrow Ma Sanxing’s innate short sword.

He even thought that if he had the chance, he would definitely find his dagger back and give it to Qian Wantong to use, while he would use Ma Sanxing's innate dagger.

In this way, the overall strength of one's own warriors can also be increased.

As for the warriors of the Ma family, they are not descendants of the Qian family. Do we need to consider them?

Besides, it was not that he would not return the Xiantian dagger after borrowing it. As long as he walked out of this valley and there were still warriors in the Ma family, he would definitely return it.

"Well, you don't have to worry about it. Take a look at this." After saying that, he took out a porcelain bottle that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Ma Xianglong: "There is a dragon's saliva pill in it. It is a rare life-saving pill. As long as it is not an instant fatal injury, it can be recovered. It can be said that as long as you have it, you have an extra life."

“This is…” When Ma Xianglong heard that it was ambergris, golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He wanted to reach out and take it, but he was a little unsure whether he should take it or not.

"What do you think of this pill as compensation for borrowing the weapon?" Qian Ying said.

Ma Xianglong was a little conflicted, because he really wanted this pill, but the innate dagger could increase his strength. It was a bit difficult to choose.

However, he finally reached out to take the porcelain bottle and accepted the pill. After all, between saving his life and risking his life, he chose to save his life.

He only had one life, so he naturally prioritized saving it. Then he said respectfully, "Thank you, Elder Qian. Look at this, it's really... Well, please wait a moment, I'll be back soon. The dagger is in my backpack, and I'll get it for you."

After saying that, he turned around and quickly walked towards where his warriors were, and took the innate dagger and gave it to Qian Ying.

After Qian Ying got the weapon, he waved to Ma Xianglong. Since he had already got the weapon, he didn't waste any more words.

People are all selfish. How could he not understand Ma Xianglong's thoughts?

With weapons in hand, not only can Ma Xianglong's own strength be increased, but also the strength of all the warriors in the Ma family can be increased. After all, if he, Ma Xianglong, dies in danger, other warriors can still take the dagger and continue fighting.

With this pill, he can only save his own life, which is very selfish.

However, Qian Ying still likes such people. If they are all selfless, it would be hard for him to handle them.
