Chapter 700: Going with the flow
"This is indeed the ancestral spiritual object of our Zhuoer Jinjin clan."

Sanjar pointed at the little sun hanging in the sky, with a rare hint of pride in his tone.

"It is said that our ancestors discovered this place and stationed here. According to legend, it was thanks to this sun that the Mobei tribe was able to survive the long cold nights."

Liu Sheng was stunned.

Was it already a cold night at that time?
Or is it that the cold night from the other side of the planet is spreading over, but is blocked by this sun whose identity is still unknown?
Liu Sheng pondered for a while and asked, "However, if it really had such power, it should have been much larger than this, right?"

Although the sun hanging in the sky at this moment looks almost the same as the real sun at first glance, the latter is far away from the earth's surface, while this Golden Crow is close to the ground, so it appears to be of similar size, but in fact the light intensity and thermal radiation are obviously far less than that of a real star.

If we had instruments specifically for observing celestial bodies, perhaps we would be able to see more differences.

“Ling… Senior is indeed smart. Perhaps this ancient spiritual object has released too much power over a long period of time, and its actual size has shrunk. Its illuminating range has become increasingly narrow, and in the end only this small piece is left.” Sanjar explained carefully.

Elena nodded in agreement, "Yes. Later, the Mobei clan stabilized, and then the Supreme God descended, the spiritual energy revived, and the cold night retreated... There was no need for this item anymore, and the inheritance gradually broke down."

"So if you really want to talk about it, it's not actually our family's private property." Sanjar scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "It's just that we found it again. According to the legend, it can be regarded as our ancestral spiritual object..."

After listening to this, Liu Sheng turned his gaze slightly and asked, "Then how did you find it again?"

"Actually... it was because of my mother. After she married my father, she deciphered the secret code passed down by our ancestors during a ceremony. The two of them climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, going through many hardships, before they finally found this item."

At this time, Sanjar felt very complicated when talking about his mother.

Liu Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "If that's the case, this spiritual creature should be in a remote place, how did you drive it here?"

Sanjar smiled bitterly and replied, "That was a method my mother came up with. She called it 'chasing the sun'. Beat the sun with a cane and it will slowly move forward. However, this method consumes a lot of physical strength and needs to be operated day and night, otherwise it will gradually slide back to its original place."

Elena took over the conversation, her tone full of emotion: "After my father joined the army, chasing the sun became my mother's mission alone. From the northwest to here, she never stopped for a whole year."

"Such perseverance is really hard to imagine..." Liu Sheng whispered, and he couldn't help but feel a little respect for the woman he had only seen in Amir Zolkin's memory.

"Unfortunately... this spiritual object has no other uses besides lighting and heating. My mother regarded it as an obsession, hoping to use it to accelerate her cultivation and breakthrough, but unfortunately... there was no result."

Sanjar paused, as if trying to convince himself:

"However, sometimes I also wonder, maybe the three of us brothers and sisters have spirituality that can be cultivated, and that is to worship this object?"

Elena sighed softly and shook her head: "This is just a guess."

After saying that, she looked at Liu Sheng apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Miss Ling. My brother actually used such a thing as a thank you, which is really rude. Why don't we reward you with gold and silver?"

Sanjar also smiled bitterly and added: "If you feel that this item is not worth it, I am willing to compensate you with other compensation. If you have any request, please feel free to ask."

When Liu Sheng heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Gold and silver? Can you still come up with the money now? But I heard that the temple has emptied you out."

Upon hearing this, the brother and sister looked at each other awkwardly.

Sanjar said stubbornly: "Even so, I am willing to work hard to earn money, and I will pay off my debts."

Elena's eyes suddenly lit up, and her tone became more anxious: "Miss Ling, I will graduate from the academy soon, and I can make money to repay you by then... I can even follow you and work for you."

Liu Sheng smiled faintly and shook his head: "We don't need servants."

[I have to do chores, and I still bring a servant up the mountain, is that reasonable? ]

【However, this girl obviously has other wishes. 】

"Anyway, I understand. I still need this spiritual object, so it is enough to use this as a thank you gift."

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he glanced at Elena, and seeing a hint of sadness in her eyes, he asked, "Why, do you want to follow us?" Elena smiled bitterly, "Of course, seeing your and Senior Taibai's abilities, it is simply enviable. Perhaps... this is the way out now."

Liu Sheng shook his head: "The place we are going is very far, and it is indeed not suitable to take you with us. However, if you really want to follow us and want to learn some skills..."

Before she finished speaking, Elena's eyes lit up, her face full of anticipation. Sanjar, who was standing by, couldn't help but show a curious look.

At this moment, the tentacles in Liu Sheng's hands slowly extended to the sky.

Along with a light golden energy fluctuation, the little sun that had been hanging for many years suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it was taken into an unknown space by some force.

This scene left Elena and Sanjar stunned, their faces full of surprise and shock, and they became more determined to learn from Liu Sheng.

Sanjar took a deep breath and said seriously: "I am willing to do it too. Whatever Miss Shengsheng... no, Senior asks us to do, I am willing to do it."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng smiled slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything you are unwilling to do or something that is difficult for you. It will be a matter of course and will come to you soon."

Although they didn't understand what Liu Sheng was referring to specifically, the brother and sister felt an inexplicable trust from her attitude, which made them feel more at ease.

Liu Sheng smiled mysteriously, then slowly began to talk about his request.

……

After saying goodbye to the brother and sister, Liu Sheng sent them back home and then picked up Taibai Sword Immortal who had sobered up. It was almost dusk.

Taibai Sword Immortal rubbed his temples, obviously still a little drunk.

He glanced at Liu Sheng and asked, "Did you get what you wanted?"

Liu Sheng nodded, and gently turned his palm, briefly displaying the image of the small sun in the high dimension in the space.

In just a moment, the heat wave came towards him, causing Taibai Sword Immortal to subconsciously dodge back.

"What is this?" He opened his eyes wide, his face full of shock. "If it is used for heating, the heat is too much; if it is used for lighting, it is too dazzling."

After a pause, he seemed to realize something and added, "However, it is most suitable for driving away light-fearing monsters in the dark."

Liu Sheng smiled calmly and put the little sun away again: "Its ability is more than that. In my opinion, it still has a lot of potential to be explored. When we reach the snowy mountains, if there is really no sunlight, it may become the key."

Taibai Sword Immortal scratched his head. Although he was a little confused about the "use" mentioned by Liu Sheng, when he thought about the flying sword technique that he had used to imitate the impact of sunlight, he could understand that this thing might really come in handy in the future.

However, he has never been able to understand the workers' thinking these days.

Instead of racking your brains, it is better to break it with one sword, simple and direct.

Besides, he thought about it.

"If you ask me, this thing can also be used to dry food! Dried meat and preserved fruits are both great choices! And... roasting meat! Put a stone slab underneath, and it will sizzle and ooze oil when you shine the light on it. It's simply amazing!"

As he said this, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looked at Liu Sheng with anticipation, and rubbed his hands impatiently.

"When can you lend it to me?"

Liu Sheng looked at the man who wanted to use this "high-energy spherical reactor" similar to the sun for barbecue and felt amused. Of course, he didn't even think about it...

accepted.

So the two of them sat in the carriage, discussing along the way what kind of meat and fruit to buy.
