Chapter Eighty-Four: Returning to My Hometown
"Li Daoyou, Li Daoyou!" Tianchen Zhenren saw that Li Xi suddenly fell silent, and shouted again and again.
"Hmm, what?" Li Xi instantly came back to his senses and replied blankly.
"I mean, Li Daoyou, don't you really want these spirit stones, do you want to exchange them for worldly goods?" Tianchen Zhenren confirmed.
"No, no! How is this possible!" Li Xi hurriedly said: "I think the spirit stone is too good, and I wonder if I can exchange some spirit stones from you with worldly wealth?"
Tianchen Zhenren shook his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, Li Daoyou said that it was funny, compared to worldly money, spirit stones are what we cultivators need more, how can we sell them easily!"
"Oh, so that's the case! It's a pity!" Li Xi said regretfully. I saw that as if he was afraid that Tianchen Zhenren would regret it, the storage ring on his hand flashed, and the pile of spirit stones in front of him were all included in it.
"But Li Daoyou, it's not impossible for you to want a spirit stone!" I saw Tianchen Daoist smile mysteriously at him and said.
Suddenly, Li Xi's interest was seduced, and the spirit stone was a point, so he hurriedly asked, "Real person, what other way is there?"
I only heard Tianchen Zhenren say: "Well, there is one thing I don't know if Li Daoyou agrees." Every five years, our Taiyi Daomen will hold a trial competition for young disciples, and this time Haoran will also participate. In each competition, we will give a place to participate in the competition to young outstanding cultivators who are not from our own sect, so as to motivate and supervise the cultivation of our young disciples. ”
"This trial will be held in three months, and Poor Dao would like to invite you to participate in this trial competition as a special invite. Tianchen Zhenren continued.
Li Xi was a little strange when he heard this, and asked, "Real person, why did you ask me to participate?"
Tianchen Zhenren replied, "First, the disciples who participate in the trial competition must be cultivators below the Jindan stage. ”
"Second, in the previous dozens of trial meetings, the disciples of this sect won easily, and the strength of the specially invited outer disciples to cultivate was really not good at all, so it also caused the current situation of the young disciples of this sect being arrogant and having no one in their eyes. Li Daoyou, your conditions are met, and your ability is enough. Therefore, I hope that you will win the first place in this trial competition, and teach the young disciples of this sect a good lesson, so that they can understand the truth that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. This will be very helpful for their future practice and outings. ”
Tianchen Zhenren stroked his beautiful beard, and then said: "Of course, the third and most critical point, the champion prize of this training competition is 1,000 spirit stones!!"
As soon as he heard that the prize was 1,000 spirit stones, Li Xi's breathing suddenly tightened, which was equivalent to 1,000 cultivation points.
However, if you want to return to what you want, Li Xi's nature is still very cautious. He asked Tianchen Zhenren, "Is there any danger in this trial competition?"
"Hehehe!" Tianchen Zhenren said with a smile, "Don't worry, the location of the trial is in the back mountain of the Lingwu Mountain of this sect, there is absolutely no danger, besides, we will not risk the lives of young disciples easily!"
Hearing this, Li Xi suddenly relieved his heart and said, "Since this is the case, then I will participate." Hehe, but if I win the championship, don't regret it, don't give me spirit stones!"
"Hahaha! Li Daoyou laughed, just 1,000 spirit stones, we Taiyi Daomen will not take it seriously! After three months, Poor Dao will welcome Li Daoyou to visit!" Tianchen Zhenren said.
Tang Haoran also cheered and said: "Great, boss, you come early, I'll take you around in the division, we still have a lot of beautiful scenery in Lingwu Mountain!"
"Okay, now that it's decided, then Poor Dao will take Haoran back first and say goodbye!" After speaking, Tianchen Zhenren took Tang Haoran to the sky and flew away in the distance.
Looking at the smaller and smaller shadow of Tianchen Zhenren, Li Xi couldn't help but envy: "I don't know when I will be able to fly into the sky and experience this exciting feeling!"
"Hehe, it's almost over, when Brother Xi arrives at the Jindan stage, you will be able to fly with qi!" Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile covering her mouth.
Li Xi silently calculated in his heart, counting the 2,000 points obtained from this secret realm mission and the 100 spirit stones given by Tianchen Zhenren to convert them into points, he had a total of 4,600 cultivation points. The cultivation points are almost enough, but I still have to complete an A-level task!
Forget it, don't think about it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Besides, if you have more points, you can also exchange them for exercises and pills! Li Xi is a natural optimist.
Gradually, the sky began to light up.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Brother Xi, where are we going next?"
Li Xi thought for a while and said, "Don't be busy going back first, since I'm out, I want to take the opportunity to go back to my hometown and see my parents." To be honest, I haven't been home in years, and I miss them!"
Su Xiaoxiao's face flushed slightly after hearing this, and she thought, is this going to take me to the door?
After Li Xi made up his mind, he and Su Xiaoxiao returned to the hotel first.
After returning to the hotel room, Li Xi suddenly remembered that he hadn't contacted Xiaolei for a long time, and he didn't know how he looked at his home, so he shouldn't tear down his home, and the anxious Li Xi called the office.
The phone was quickly connected, only to hear Xiao Lei's lazy voice from the other end, "Hey~, the owner of the office is not at home on a business trip, please call again in a few days if you have something!"
Li Xi hurriedly said: "Xiao Lei, it's me, how is the family during this time?
"What, it's the master!" Xiao Lei didn't wake up.
This little guy, what kind of attitude, he used this tone to speak to his master without discipline for a few days! Li Xi thought to himself with a little embarrassment.
"Don't worry, master, there is a spirit beast to watch the house, thieves and robbers will not dare to come!" Xiao Lei said confidently on the other end of the phone.
"Oh, it's okay!" Li Xi suddenly put his mind at ease, suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, is there anyone looking for me?"
"Well, let this spirit beast think about it, it seems that Miss Qiqi came once, maybe she came to find Sister Su, and left when she saw that no one was home! Oh, by the way, there was another time, just two days ago, two people came to knock on the door. These two people were mysterious, and they didn't know who to come to, so they waited at the door for a while, and when they saw that no one responded, they left!" Xiao Lei said as he recalled.
"Mmmm, okay, got it!Xiao Lei, I still have to trouble you to continue to watch the house during this time, and I may not be able to come back for a while!" Li Xi said.
"Understood, master, you and Sister Su can rest assured to play, the family will be handed over to me!" Xiao Lei readily agreed.
Hey, hey, it's a lot safer to have such a housekeeper at home. Hanging up the phone, Li Xi couldn't help but think in his heart.
However, apart from Lu Qiqi, who else has come to look for him? Li Xi thought about it, could it be that Zhang Yang, the director of the Security Bureau, was looking for me? But if he was looking for me, he should be able to call me, strange!
Forget it, it doesn't matter who he is! Anyway, if there is something urgent, he can always find me, Li Xi was relieved soon.
He and Su Xiaoxiao cleaned up, went downstairs to the lobby to withdraw from the room, and took the high-speed train back to their hometown.
…………
Li Xi's hometown is in a small town in the southern Jiangnan region. This town has a history of more than 1,000 years, which can be regarded as a long history. The waterways in the town are vertical and horizontal, the buildings are simple, and it is a quite distinctive, antique water town.
In recent years, the town has vigorously developed tourism, and there are more and more tourists, and the town has become more and more lively.
Li Xi got off the train, and after leaving the station, he couldn't help but be surprised to see that the town was now full of traffic and shops, and there was a lively and prosperous scene, which was very different from the appearance when he left more than four years ago.
Su Xiaoxiao looked full of interest, and after a while he went to visit the unique forest garden buildings in the ancient town, and then pulled Li Xi to taste the special food here, he seemed very happy.
Li Xi also felt very cordial because he returned to the place where he was born, so he also accompanied Su Xiaoxiao on a tour with great interest. The two of them walked and walked, and before they knew it, it was noon.
Li Xi saw that the time was not early, so he walked home with Su Xiaoxiao.
The town is not big, and Li Xi's home is located on a relatively old street in the town, which is also a concentrated residence for the town's residents.
Li Xi's house is an old mansion handed down from the ancestors, a two-story independent small building with a brick structure, built by the water, and is a typical Jiangnan residential building.
Li Xi saw his house from a distance, and couldn't help but get excited, quickened his pace, and ran in the direction of home.
When he came to the door of his house, Li Xi couldn't help but shout: "Dad, Mom, are you at home? I'm back!"
The door of her house suddenly opened, and a middle-aged woman walked out, looking out with excitement on her face.
"Mom!" Li Xi shouted, hugging the middle-aged woman tightly, her eyes filled with tears.
The middle-aged woman also hugged Li Xi tightly, her eyes were moist, and she choked up and said, "Xi'er, is it really you? Great, my mother really misses you!"
After a while, a middle-aged man walked out of the room, and when Li Xi saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward, held his hand tightly, and shouted: "Dad!
The middle-aged man also held Li Xi's hand tightly and said excitedly: "It's okay, son, it's good to come back, just come back!"
Li Xi looked at his father, although it seemed that his spirit and complexion were not bad, but the white hair on his temples was a lot more than when he left, and his originally majestic body was also slightly rickety. Li Xi's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his eyes moistened again.
At this time, fortunately, Li Xi's mother said: "Don't stand stupidly at the door, hurry up and enter the house!"
"Yes, yes, let's go into the house, son, I'm going to have a drink with you today!haha!" Li Xi's father said with a smile.
