Chapter 256 Favor
For this foundation-building celebration, Jiuxiao has obviously made a lot of preparations. The spirit wine has been aged for hundreds of years.
The spiritual food is naturally not bad, and there are even dishes made of the flesh and blood of monsters that are rarely seen in the outside world.
Jiuxiao is very young and very handsome. He can talk eloquently among a group of foundation-building monks and handle the relationship very well.
Even though Li Qing and Ye Feng had low cultivation levels, he took care of them so as not to neglect them.
Of course, after achieving Foundation Establishment, the focus of his communication will naturally be on other comrades.
Li Qing didn't care much about this. Water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. This is human nature.
Soon, in the cave, another monk in the foundation building period came to visit.
This is a female nun. She has a graceful figure and an oval face, which is very soft and beautiful.
"Recently, I have gained some understanding of Taoism. I was delayed for some time when I came out of seclusion. Unexpectedly, I almost missed Senior Brother Jiuxiao's foundation building celebration. I hope you don't blame me."
As soon as the voice came out, Li Qing felt a little familiar. He looked at Ye Feng, who was having a drink at the side, and saw him nodding.
Seeing Ye Feng's eyes, Li Qing dared to confirm that this woman was also one of the members of the secret trade fair, named Lingying!
She actually built a foundation too!
At this moment, Li Qing only felt that the trade fair hosted by Taoist Qingyang was a bit remarkable. If he thought about it carefully, if the trade fair had not been disbanded, in a few more years, there would have been many more buildings. Members of the base period.
Not to mention Jiuxiao and Lingying, Ye Feng has almost saved up his sect’s contribution now, so it’s no problem to replace them with a Foundation Building Pill.
If they can successfully build the foundation, they will have three members in the foundation building stage.
In addition, counting other people, there will probably be more monks in the foundation building stage.
Looking at it this way, it is really not simple. If it develops, it will be a big force.
Li Qing has never asked Taoist Qingyang for the purpose of establishing the secret trade fair. He thought that there must be something big planned.
But because of the great war in the Immortal Realm, Tianhefang City was destroyed, and this trade fair had to be cancelled.
At this time, Lingying, who was good at music, started to play a piece of music directly to express her apology for being late.
Listening to the melodious music of the piano, everyone's mood became ethereal, and all the distracting thoughts and anxious emotions in their hearts disappeared.
Li Qing also closed his eyes slightly, while sipping the wine and enjoying the sound of the piano, which was like mountains and rivers, and his heart soon became calm.
In fact, during this period, his state of mind was indeed a little unstable. After hearing that his peers were promoted to the foundation construction stage one after another, even Ye Feng, who had taken over his body and rebuilt his life, was about to overtake him.
However, there is still no hope for his Foundation Establishment Pill. No matter how long his life is, he can't help but feel anxious.
"Hoo!"
After the song, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, and his mind calmed down, as calm as an ancient well.
His eyes became clear and clear, and he regained his previous state of mind in which he was indifferent to everything.
“Don’t be anxious, it’s not like your lifespan is about to end. The most important thing is to work steadily and take every step well!”
Li Qing muttered to himself, his expression He was calm and composed, and was no longer affected by the talking and laughing of the foundation-building monks in the cave.
This foundation-building celebration lasted for three days. Ye Feng drank the last cup of Breitling Brew, and then said with firm eyes:
"Brother Li, after I go back this time, I will start to retreat for a period of time. I want to attack the ninth level of the weapon refinement as soon as possible, and then plan to build the foundation."
Li Qing nodded and raised his glass to Ye Feng: "I'm waiting for your foundation building celebration."
The foundation building celebration is coming to an end, and Jiuxiao’s cave gradually becomes deserted.
Li Qing also stood up and prepared to leave with Taoist Qingyang.
However, Jiuxiao suddenly retained him and took out some bottles and jars.
"Fellow Taoist Erniu, these are the remaining Peiyuan Pills I have left. Now that I have entered the foundation building stage, these pills are useless to me. You can take them together."
Li Qing looked stunned, not understanding why Jiuxiao suddenly did this.
"How can this be done? No reward for no merit, how can I accept your elixirs for free?"
"And if these Peiyuan elixirs are sold to the outside world, it will be a sum of money. The priceless spiritual stone, Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao, makes me feel a little uneasy.”
However, Jiuxiao refused Li Qing's refusal and insisted on giving the elixir to Li Qing.
"Fellow Erniu, please don't refuse. This is just to repay your favor for repairing the spirit boat for me. In these years of war, I have been in danger several times relying on the spirit boat."
Li Qing was slightly startled, and then heard the subtext in the other party's words.
Once a favor is paid off, if there is no other friendship, the future relationship will basically fade away.
As long as Li Qing accepts these Peiyuan Pills, his relationship with Jiuxiao will basically come to an end.
Soon, Li Qing smiled calmly, nodded and said:
"Okay! Then I would rather obey your order than be respectful. Thank you Taoist Fellow Jiuxiao for your kindness!"
After the words fell, Li Qing did not hesitate. He took away these bottles of Peiyuan Dan, which were worth about six to seven hundred spirit stones. This favor was already extremely expensive.
Seeing Li Qing accept the Peiyuan Pill, Jiuxiao showed satisfaction on his face. He nodded and did not keep Li Qing any longer.
“Farewell!”
"Go slowly, don't give me away!" After walking out of the cave with the elixir, Li Qing got on the Qingyang Taoist's spirit boat again, and was filled with emotions.
Sitting on the spirit boat flying back to Qinghua Lake, Taoist Qingyang seemed to see Li Qing's thoughts, and he chuckled:
"Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao is like a fish in water in the Tianhe Sect. I heard that he seems to be competing for the seat of the elder of the Tianhe Sect's Law Enforcement Hall."
After hearing this, Li Qing realized He nodded as if.
The elder of Tianhe Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, this is not something that ordinary people can sit on.
In this position, the most important thing is to be selfless.
“No wonder.” Li Qing muttered to himself.
Jiu Xiao was so eager to repay the favor because he was worried about what he would do to ask him to do something with this favor.
If one day someone offers a Foundation-Building Pill in exchange for Li Qing’s favor in order to get someone from Jiuxiao, should he be lenient?
In order to avoid all this, Jiuxiao simply sorted out these things first.
However, Li Qing didn't take it seriously. He didn't feel that the other party owed him any favors. The deal they made at the beginning was just an exchange of equal value.
As for using this fictitious favor to seek help from the Jiuxiao Gang, it is even more impossible to talk about.
Li Qing shook his head, but touched his storage bag with satisfaction. No matter what, it is always good to get some valuable Peiyuan Pills.
After eight days, we returned to Qinghuatan again.
Li Qing's life suddenly became peaceful again. In these peaceful days, he practiced steadily, and his strength also increased bit by bit.
However, in the outer layer of Qinghua Pond, other casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage also learned the identity of Li Qing’s weapon refiner during this period
And Li Qing got to know more than one Foundation Establishment Stage practitioner. Everyone around him also knew the news about the master.
So in this peaceful day of asceticism, there are also some episodes.
Dong dong dong!
One afternoon at dusk, there was a knock on Li Qing's courtyard door.
Li Qing, who had just finished meditating and refining his Qi, frowned slightly, and his consciousness directly extended out, taking in all the scenes outside the hospital in his mind.
After he found out who was knocking on the courtyard door, his brows could not help but frown even deeper.
If you count carefully, this is already the third time this month.
Outside the courtyard gate, a woman was holding a little boy of seven or eight years old standing outside the gate, while holding a bag of spiritual rice in her hand.
The mother and son had anxious expressions on their faces, and at the same time there was hope in their eyes, which was very complicated.
“Alas!”
Li Qing sighed, not wanting to receive the mother and son.
However, due to the opinions of other people around him, it was not easy for him to leave these two people outside the courtyard.
Of course this woman is not here to take over Li Qing's business, nor is she playing the game of "Where are we going, daddy?" Her purpose is purely, she hopes that her child can become Li Qing's teacher.
Zhiyi~
The courtyard door opened, and the woman quickly let go of her child's hand.
The seven or eight-year-old boy was about to kneel down immediately, ready to say some good words to ask Li Qing to accept him as his disciple, but his movements were not as fast as Li Qing's. The latter waved his hand and directly He helped him up.
"Oh, Xu Sanniang, you'd better go back. I won't teach my disciples. It will be bad if it delays your son's path." Li Qing said with a bitter smile.
From the beginning to the end, Li Qing has never had the idea of accepting a disciple. For no other reason than he was worried that one day the disciple would cause a big disaster and implicate him as a master.
Besides, he really didn't have the energy to teach his disciples, and he didn't have enough time to practice every day.
Being poor means being alone, and he knows this very well.
The woman's eyes burst into tears: "Master Li, the child's father died early, and my mother and I are alone. You can do a good job and teach him the skill of forging iron and making weapons with both hands, so that he can be better in the future. The road will be smoother. "
The little boy pouted his mouth with a glum look on his face, as if he could hang an oil bottle on it.
"Xu Sanniang, I'm afraid I'm going to mislead my disciples, so you'd better ask me back." Li Qing's tone became firm.
However, Xu Sanniang held the door frame, and she still had something to say. She said: "Master Li, I heard that you have some relationship with that senior Qingyang. Bu'er's spiritual root qualifications are not bad. He has three spiritual roots, and he has five elements." Huo, do you think you can ask that senior Qingyang if he intends to accept him as his disciple?"
As soon as he said this, Li Qing almost rolled his eyes. Why did the request keep getting more and more serious? It’s outrageous!
Did not agree to this request, Li Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Xu Sanniang, you overestimate me. How can I disturb Senior Qingyang's Qingxiu?"
After that, Li Qing shook his head and closed the courtyard door directly, not wanting to say anything more.
Xu Sanniang, carrying a bag of spiritual rice, stood outside the door and sighed one after another.
The little boy surnamed Cao on the side sobbed: "Mom, I don't want to be a teacher. I can practice on my own."
"Shut up, mom. This is all for your own good. If you can master a The skills of cultivating immortals will be of great benefit to your future path!"
Xu Sanniang took the child back and taught him a lesson: "From tomorrow on, you will kneel before Master Li every morning! In front of the door, you know!”
