Chapter 617: Gambling on the Head
"This girl... It's too nonsense..."
Touching the left side of his face that was kissed by Han Lingsha, Li Aotian shook his head angrily, and then walked in the direction where the gate of the Han Mansion was located.
Because he was going to leave Taiyin City tomorrow, Li Aotian was ready to take advantage of the time he still had to take a good look around Taiyin City to see if he could get together the materials for configuring the Pure Yuan Spiritual Water.
Right now, Li Aotian already has eight seventh-level demon pills, and there are even three seventh-level high-level demon pills, so configurement of the Pure Yuan Spiritual Water is a bit urgent for him at present.
Although he had obtained the treasures in the treasure troves of the five major families, what made Li Aotian helpless was that he had not been able to gather all the materials for the preparation of the Pure Yuan Spiritual Water, so he still had to try his luck everywhere.
Time flickered for most of the day, and when Li Aotian returned to the Han Mansion again, the sky was getting dark.
For most of the day, Li Aotian almost walked around the entire Taiyin City's markets and shops, but the result made him happy and worried.
What made Li Aotian happy was that he had gathered most of the materials for configuring the Jingyuan Spiritual Water this time, and what worried him was that he was still short of more than fifty rare materials.
These more than 50 kinds of materials belong to the rarest and rarest part of the more than 180 kinds of materials required to configure the Pure Yuan Spiritual Water.
The reason why Li Aotian was able to gather all the materials last time was mainly due to luck, but luck is not such a good thing every time.
obviously knew that Li Aotian had come back from going out, and as soon as Li Aotian returned to the Han Mansion, Han Leng took the initiative to find him with a few people.
There are three people with Han Leng, in addition to Han Qing, who Li Aotian is familiar with, there is also Zhu Ziyan, the former head of the Zhu family, whom Li Aotian has already met, that is, Zhu Dachang's father.
As for the last person, Li Aotian is relatively unfamiliar, this is a young man wearing a white robe, looking gentle and elegant, he is about twenty-four or five years old, his facial contours are somewhat similar to Han Leng, although he is not very old, but his cultivation has reached the fifth level of Yuan Dan.
"Senior Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, Zhu Ziyan is polite!"
Seeing that Li Aotian's face was not very good-looking, Zhu Ziyan hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to salute.
"Why are you here?"
Although he was an old acquaintance, because he couldn't get together the materials for configuring the Jingyuan Spiritual Water, Li Aotian was depressed in his heart, so he didn't have much of a good face for Zhu Ziyan.
"Hehe, didn't I hear that my seniors were leaving tomorrow, and I came to meet my seniors, which can be regarded as goodbye. ”
Although Li Aotian didn't give himself a good face, Zhu Ziyan still said with a smile.
"There's no need for that, after all, I'm not very familiar with you. ”
Li Aotian didn't have a good temperament, he had read countless people in his previous life, and at a glance, he knew that this Zhu Ziyan should have something to ask him for help.
"It's... Alas, I won't beat around the bush, in fact, I am mainly here to give gifts to my seniors, this is a little bit of my Zhu family's heart, and I hope that my seniors can laugh at it. ”
Seeing that Li Aotian said so bluntly and didn't save himself any face, Zhu Ziyan's face stiffened slightly, and then he immediately took out a storage bag from his arms and handed it to Li Aotian.
"What do you mean by this, if you have something to say, it's better to make it clear first, I don't have the habit of taking other people's things for nothing. ”
Glancing at the storage bag in Zhu Ziyan's hand, Li Aotian did not answer.
"Senior Li, Zhu has no other meaning, I just hope that my predecessors can take care of my Zhu family. ”
Zhu Ziyan smiled bitterly and said his purpose.
"Take care of your Zhu family, why can't I understand it more and more. ”
"First of all, I'm just a casual cultivator, and I'm going to leave Taiyin City tomorrow, if you want to give a gift, you should also give it to his Han family, after all, now this Taiyin City is up to his Han family. ”
Li Aotian was a little speechless.
Zhu Ziyan shook his head: "The seniors are humble, as long as the seniors open their golden mouths, it will be more effective than any more gifts I give." ”
"Han Leng, what the hell is going on, isn't the relationship between you and Shopkeeper Zhu very good, he came with me in front of you, how do I feel so twisted. ”
Li Aotian turned his head to look at Han Lengdao, who had never spoken.
"It's... Since the seniors asked, then I will tell the truth, thanks to the kindness of the predecessors who destroyed the Meng family and other five major families, the current forces in Taiyin City have basically been controlled by my Han family, and only one Zhu family remains. ”
"Originally, with the friendship between my Han family and the Zhu family, it is nothing to leave the Zhu family, at least I personally want the Zhu family to continue to develop in Taiyin City, but many elders of my Han family have objections to this. ”
"Those elders of my Han family think that the Zhu family chose to remain neutral when my Han family needed help the most, and my Han family should not be merciful and leave such a variable, after all, now my Han family has enough strength to completely control the whole city. ”
"Alas, I'm also in a dilemma, so I gave Brother Zhu an idea and asked him to come to you, as long as the senior Chrysostom is opened, the elders of my Han family who oppose the Zhu family's continued foothold in Taiyin City will definitely not be entangled in this matter anymore. ”
Seeing Li Aotian asking, Han Leng explained the cause and effect of the incident in detail.
"So that's the case, from the standpoint of your Han family, the Zhu family's approach of maintaining neutrality is indeed a bit excessive, but why do you think that I will definitely help the Zhu family open this mouth?"
Li Aotian stared at Han Leng with a smile and asked.
"The seniors misunderstood, although I personally want the Zhu family to continue to stand in Taiyin City, but from the position of the family, it is still necessary to let the Zhu family disappear in Taiyin City. ”
"I don't think that the seniors will definitely help the Zhu family, to put it bluntly, I just want the seniors to help me get an idea, after all, the Zhu family is good friends with the True Thunder Sect, and the True Thunder Sect... The True Thunder Sect has not yet colluded with the Seven Killing Hall. ”
"In addition, didn't my predecessor know that kid Dachang, no matter what, I can't make my own decisions about this matter. ”
Han Leng explained with a look of embarrassment.
"You're thoughtful enough, and this kind of trivial matter bothers me. ”
Li Aotian couldn't help but glance at Han Leng as he spoke.
"Although this is not a big deal for the seniors, for my Zhu family, it is a matter of life and death, and I hope the seniors will help!"
Seeing that Li Aotian didn't take his Zhu family seriously at all, Zhu Ziyan pleaded with a pleading face, and at the same time put the storage bag in his hand in front of Li Aotian again.
"What's in here?"
Li Aotian shifted his gaze to the storage bag in Zhu Ziyan's hand again.
"Oh, here are the thirty-three materials that my Zhu family tried their best to get together, and they are all things that my predecessors need. ”
Seeing that Li Aotian finally focused on the storage bag in his hand, Zhu Ziyan hurriedly replied.
"What do I need? How do you know I need these things?"
Li Aotian was a little strange.
"Senior, I forgot, that day in Mingxin Pavilion, you showed me a list of required materials. ”
Zhu Ziyan explained with a smile.
"You mean, the thirty-three materials in this storage bag are all on my list that day?"
Li Aotian's face changed slightly, he was already worried about not being able to gather the materials of the Pure Yuan Spiritual Water, but he never thought that this Zhu Ziyan had brought him unexpected joy.
Zhu Ziyan nodded: "Yes, these materials are what my Zhu family has done their best to find a way to get together in the past month, and I hope that my predecessors will accept it!"
"I have a heart, for the sake of these materials, I helped you with this favor from the Zhu family!"
smiled and patted Zhu Ziyan's shoulder, and then Li Aotian took the storage bag and exuded his divine sense to investigate.
Seeing that Li Aotian agreed to help, Zhu Ziyan showed an unconcealable smile on his face, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He just breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then Zhu Ziyan's face immediately became ugly again, because he found that the smile on Li Aotian's face disappeared in an instant.
"Senior Li, what's wrong with you, could it be that these materials are not what you need?"
Zhu Ziyan asked tentatively.
"These thirty-three materials are indeed what I need, but most of them, I have already gathered them in the major markets and shops in Taiyin City today, in general, only thirteen of your thirty-three materials are useful to me. ”
Li Aotian said with a bitter face.
"Ahh This... I didn't know that beforehand!"
Zhu Ziyan didn't expect his luck to be so bad, and his face was extremely difficult to see for a while.
"I can't blame you, I can only blame my bad luck, you can rest assured, no matter what, you also got together thirteen materials for me, since I promised to help your Zhu family, I won't regret it." ”
"Han Leng, don't embarrass his Zhu family in the future, of course, the premise is that his Zhu family does not harm the interests of your Han family. ”
Putting the storage bag into his arms, Li Aotian instructed Han Leng in a commanding tone.
"What my predecessors said, my Han family will definitely do it... Brother Zhu, congratulations!"
Han Leng didn't dare to disobey Li Aotian's order, and at the same time didn't forget to say hello to Zhu Ziyan with a smile.
Saying hello to Han Leng, Zhu Ziyan smiled and waved his hand, and his eyes were full of gratitude and awe when he looked at Li Aotian.
"It's nothing, Han Leng, you go and arrange a room for me, I'll rest for the night, and I'll have to leave tomorrow." ”
Li Aotian unceremoniously commanded Han Leng again.
"The room has been arranged, but until then... The juniors really have something they want to ask their seniors for help. ”
Han Leng said a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter with you, it's endless, let go of the fart!"
Glancing at Han Leng fiercely, Li Aotian urged angrily.
"Oh, that's right, Inuko Lingwei has admired his predecessors for a long time, and he wants to worship his predecessors as teachers, hoping that his predecessors can be fulfilled. ”
Han Leng said, and hurriedly glanced at the white-clothed young man beside him who had never spoken.
Seeing this, the young man in white hurriedly walked up to Li Aotian and knelt down on one knee: "Senior Han Lingwei, I've seen Senior Li!"
"It's apprenticeship again... Han Leng, it's not that I don't give you face, I don't like to accept disciples very much, so forget it!"
didn't even glance at Han Lingwei in front of him, Li Aotian refused directly with a cold face.
"Senior, the dog really wants to worship the senior as a teacher, and besides, his cultivation qualification is good, it is a rare single ice attribute physique, I hope the senior will think about it again. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Aotian refused so simply, Han Leng begged again with some unwillingness.
"He is an ice spirit body, I can see it, otherwise I wouldn't have the cultivation I have now, but the physique is nothing to me, I am only a six-grade cultivation qualification, and I have reached the current height. ”
Li Aotian said disapprehantly.
"The predecessor is a six-grade qualification? It can't be!"
Zhu Ziyan couldn't help but swallow dryly and said, in his cognition, the cultivation qualification of the sixth grade is no different from the waste body, but Li Aotian's cultivation has already reached the realm of a half-step Daojun.
Unlike Zhu Ziyan, Han Leng and the others did not show too much surprise, they had deliberately investigated Li Aotian, and they already knew about Li Aotian's testing of his cultivation qualifications in the True Thunder Sect.
"Senior Li, there is really no room for negotiation, do you have any conditions to mention, as long as my Han family can do it, I will do my best to do it. ”
Han Leng pleaded bitterly.
"Conditions?Han Leng, I helped you protect your Han family, you asked me to put forward conditions, is this a joke, don't forget, you still owe me more than a billion yuan of crystals!"
Li Aotian said with disdain.
Han Leng's face changed again and again when he heard this, but in the end he was silent.
"Senior Li, do you still lack some materials?"
Han Lingwei, who was kneeling in front of Li Aotian, suddenly spoke.
"What are you asking for?"
Li Aotian said a little strangely.
"If I have a way to get most of them, can you make an exception to take me as an apprentice?"
Han Lingwei asked as he stared straight into Li Aotian's eyes, a shallow smile on his face.
"You're trying to make a deal with me?"
His eyes rolled, and Li Aotian frowned slightly.
"To be honest, I don't want to make a deal with my seniors, because I really want to worship you as a teacher, and I don't think that such a sacred thing as apprenticeship can be achieved by means of making a transaction. ”
"But... But my seniors rejected me, and I had no way not to do it, and I hoped that my seniors would give me a chance. ”
Han Lingwei pleaded.
"Do you know how hard it is to find these materials I need, I have almost traveled to all the markets and shops in your Taiyin City today, but I have not collected them, why do you say that I can get most of them?"
Li Aotian deliberately approached Han Lingwei and asked softly.
"If you can't get together most of them, the juniors are willing to bet on this head!"
didn't explain too much to Li Aotian, Han Lingwei said in a firm tone.
"Wei'er, you're crazy, how can you bet on your own head!"
Obviously, he didn't know in advance that Han Lingwei would joke with his life, and Han Leng couldn't help but exclaim.
"Father, if you want to worship a strong person like Senior Li as a teacher, how can you do it without showing some sincerity, the child has made up his mind in this matter, and I hope that my father will not interfere!"
Han Lingwei said with a serious expression.
"Good boy, there is a kind, you get up, don't blame me for not giving you a chance, I bet with you, how long will it take you?"
Li Aotian asked with more interest.
"Can you show me the list of materials first, the time I need depends on what the seniors need. ”
Standing up on the ground, Han Leng took the initiative to stretch out his hand towards Li Aotian.
Li Aotian nodded when he heard this, he first took out a blank jade slip, and after leaving the names of dozens of required materials in it with his divine sense, he handed it to Han Lingwei.
Taking the jade slip given by Li Aotian, Han Lingwei checked it with his divine sense, and then took the jade slip into his arms.
"There are a total of thirty-nine kinds of materials, and I will definitely send most of them to my seniors tomorrow afternoon, but before that, my seniors have to give me 100 million crystals first. ”
Han Lingwei put forward a condition to Li Aotian.
"What do you want Yuanjing to do, you are the eldest young master of the Han family, will you still lack Yuanjing?"
Li Aotian was a little puzzled.
"I want Yuanjing to naturally help my predecessors buy materials, if in the past, my Han family would not be stingy with this Yuanjing, but now my Han family is short of Yuanjing, so this Yuanjing to buy materials has to be paid by the seniors themselves. ”
Han Lingwei was not taboo either, and said his intention to ask for Yuanjing.
"I can't see that your kid is quite sincere, you want to worship me as a teacher, and you dare to ask me for Yuanjing, okay, here is 100 million yuan of crystal, you can take it!"
Li Aotian said, took out a large bag of Yuan Jing from the storage ring and threw it to Han Lingwei.
After receiving the Yuan Jing given by Li Aotian, Han Lingwei saluted Li Aotian, and then left the Han Mansion alone.
"Han Leng, is he your only son?"
Looking at the direction in which Han Lingwei left, Li Aotian asked.
"Yes, I have a son and a daughter under my knees, if Wei'er can't get together most of the materials needed by his predecessors tomorrow, I hope that my seniors will raise their noble hands and not be like him. ”
Han Leng pleaded.
"This is not good, it was he himself who proposed to gamble on the head, since it is a gamble, then you have to be willing to gamble and lose, otherwise why should I give him the opportunity to become my apprentice." ”
Li Aotian unceremoniously refused.
Han Leng's already ugly face became even more ugly when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
With the departure of Han Lingwei, Zhu Ziyan also quickly retired, and Li Aotian lived in a new guest room in the Han Mansion under Han Leng's arrangement.
Calling back the Han family guards guarding the door, Li Aotian closed the door after entering the room.
As soon as his mind moved, a white spiritual light immediately flew out of the spirit beast bag on Li Aotian's waist, and then landed on the ground in front of him.
As the white aura faded, one of the white round balls of light nearly two feet in size was revealed.
The white ball of light looks like a giant cocoon, but the difference is that the ball of light is round and not made of silk, but by a layer of pure vitality.
Circling around the white ball of light, Li Aotian gradually frowned.
This white ball of light is not something else, it is Li Aotian's spirit beast that is undefeated.
Before Li Aotian retreated for a month, he had given a large amount of high-level blood food to the undefeated, hoping that the other party could break through from a fifth-level high-level spirit beast to a sixth-level demon king realm in one fell swoop.
But what Li Aotian didn't expect was that when he was in retreat for nearly half a month, he suddenly broke off the mental connection with Undefeated for no reason, and he walked out of the secret room full of doubts and found that Undefeated had turned into such a white ball of light in front of him and fell into a long sleep.
When a high-level demon beast advances, it will fall into a deep sleep for a long time, which is not surprising to Li Aotian, because such things are very common in the cultivation world.
But like Undefeated, who broke off the heart-to-heart connection with his master when he was asleep, Li Aotian had never heard of it......
