Chapter 12: Three Months Later
Zhao Fei followed the little guy and walked briskly to the backyard.
Xufu is located in the north of the city, and the courtyard is huge. Although Flame City is a small city in the Blue Wolf Empire, Xu Mansion is a big mansion in a small city.
Xu Ruyi was reading a book in the room, and Zhao Fei's sudden visit made him excited.
"Brother Zhao, why do you have time to come over? The servant quickly handed Zhao Fei a bowl of good tea.
"One is to thank you for your gift, and the other is to come and have a casual chat with you. ”
"Okay, hurry up and let the kitchen arrange dinner, I'm going to have a good drink with Brother Zhao tonight." After hearing Xu Ruyi's order, the servant quickly went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
"Don't bother, I'll sit down and leave, thank you Brother Xu for your kindness. ”
"If you don't eat here, you look down on me Xu Ruyi, you have to stay here to eat today. "How could Xu Ruyi let him go.
"Brother Xu, I have one more thing to do here, I have some small gifts for you. ”
Zhao Fei took out a delicate box from his body and handed it to Xu Ruyi casually.
Xu Ruyi opened it and was taken aback.
"Brother Zhao, you sit here for a while, I'll go see my father now, and I'll come back immediately. ”
Xu Ruyi hurriedly ran to the front living room, he wanted to show the ten pills to his father and evaluate their value.
"Father, I know the Qi Refining Pill and the Transformation Realm Pill, what kind of pills are those two?"
Seeing that his father was silent for a long time, Xu Ruyi hurriedly asked.
"This kid, I underestimated him. Yes, you guessed these eight correctly, but these two should be Qi Replenishing Pills, I've only seen them but haven't used them. He returned all the gifts we gave him, more than the gifts we gave him. From now on, Zhao Fei is an ally of our Xu family, and we must not treat him slowly. I'll go over to dinner with him in a moment. ”
The patriarch of the Xu family is now Xu Ruyi's father, Xu Baichuan.
After his son left, Xu Baichuan fell into deep thought.
Four Qi Refining Pills, four Transformation Realm Pills, and two Qi Replenishing Pills, this gift is heavy enough.
It was not easy to buy these ten pills at the same time in a small place like Flame City, and some things could definitely be bought without money.
The last time I went out to do business, I finally bought three of them at a time, but I never saw anyone sell the Qi Replenishing Pill.
Although the Qi Refining Pill was the lowest elixir used in cultivation, it was also extremely precious in Flame City, after all, Flame City was only a small city.
A young man with no foundation, where did he get so many precious pills? If this was all his family wealth, then no one would believe it. Xu Baichuan was puzzled.
The Xu family entertained Zhao Fei warmly at night, and even Zhao Fei felt that enthusiasm was a bit excessive.
They drank until late at night before letting Zhao Fei go, and arranged a carriage to take Zhao Fei home.
Before leaving, he loaded many gifts and put them on the carriage, which was a must-have for Zhao Fei given by Xu Baichuan.
Although Zhao Fei repeatedly refused, in the end, at the insistence of Xu Baichuan and Xu Ruyi, he had no choice but to accept it.
"There must be a master behind him, and ten pills are not something that anyone can take out casually. The reward of the City Lord's Mansion was given by the Blue Wolf Empire, and it was not easy for the City Lord to take out these ten pills casually. You must befriend him, he may be your nobleman. ”
Watching the carriage go away, Xu Baichuan repeatedly told his son Xu Ruyi.
"Yes, father, he was good. He and I have become good friends. Xu Ruyi nodded solemnly.
Zhao Fei returned home and saw that the old man had not rested.
"Grandpa, why don't you sleep?"
"Am I not waiting for you. ”
"Xu Ruyi and his father were too enthusiastic, stayed at their house to eat and didn't let me go, and drank a few more drinks today. ”
"Enthusiasm is a good thing, it shows that they recognize you. ”
"Grandpa, it's not early, you can rest first, I'll practice for a while and then go to sleep. Zhao Fei didn't want to disturb his old man's rest.
"Cultivation must be relaxed and relaxed, we must work hard, and we must learn to comprehend the essence of it. The old man Chunchun taught Zhao Fei.
"You work hard enough, your understanding is a little poor, I will teach you medical skills after a while, you still have a lot to learn. We must not be proud, we must not be complacent, and we must not be arrogant. You have to know that there are people outside of people, and there are heavens outside of heaven. ”
"Grandpa, I must remember what you said. ”
Today is the opening day of the city lord Duan Wuxian agreed, because there is a special situation in Dabi this year, everything is because of Zhao Fei, and he has changed the rules that have existed for hundreds of years.
Zhao Fei was not interested in these, he didn't go to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion to join in the fun, and stayed at home to cultivate steadily.
In the afternoon, Zhao Ming came to visit him and brought him the Dabi ranking announced by the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhao Fei is in first place, which is indisputable.
In second place is Yan Xue. The number of girls in the past has been relatively small, but this year it has made history by having girls in the top 10. Yan Xue was able to achieve a good second place, which made many people envious, this girl's cultivation talent was shocking.
Zhao Ming was ranked sixth among his younger brothers, which made Zhao Ming very happy.
The Zhao family became famous in a fight, not only produced a demonic genius like Zhao Fei, but also produced a top ten Zhao Ming. In the past two days, everyone in the entire Flame City has been talking about the small Zhao family.
Zhao Fei was not complacent, because he listened to everything the old man taught him. His martial arts cultivation path has only officially begun now, and the road ahead is still very long, and he is not proud of his achievements.
At least that's what Zhao Fei thinks.
"Brother Fei, tomorrow morning the city lord has asked the top thirty to go to the city lord's mansion to collect their rewards, and requires everyone to be present. I'll come to you tomorrow morning, and I'll go with you to the City Lord's Mansion then." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home. ”
After Zhao Ming left, Zhao Fei continued to cultivate, and he would insist on cultivating for more than ten hours every day.
Zhao Fei became famous in a fight, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to visit every day, but Zhao Fei rarely saw visitors again now. Every day, the third uncle Zhao Zhenduo helped him deal with it, and he really didn't want trivial matters to affect his cultivation. Why do others come back to visit? It's not because of their strength and prospects. If it weren't for Dabi No. 1 they would have come? The answer is yes: no.
The next morning, Zhao Fei and Zhao Ming came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion early.
Early in the morning, the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was already crowded with people, and there would be no shortage of people watching the excitement at any time.
Not long after Zhao Fei and Zhao Ming arrived, Yan Xue, accompanied by his family, also came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. When she saw Zhao Fei, her eyes were full of anger, and Zhao Fei was a hurdle that she couldn't overcome.
Not only did he take away the first place that should have belonged to him, but he also humiliated himself in front of hundreds of thousands of people, which made Yan Xue, who loves vanity, angry.
While people are talking about Dabi, Yan Xue has also become a joke in everyone's mouth.
She had forgotten how the Yan family humiliated Zhao Fei at the beginning, and all she could think of was that Zhao Fei withdrew from the marriage in public that day, which made her extremely embarrassed.
When everyone had arrived, the guards led them into the Lord's Mansion.
The last twenty left first after receiving the prizes, and the top ten were received by the city lord Duan Wuxian alone.
"Zhao Fei, I am willing to accept you as an apprentice, what do you think?" City Lord Duan Wuxian asked Zhao Fei with a smile.
"Lord of the City, thank you for your kindness, I already have a master. Thank you in advance for the kindness of the city lord, and I have no plans to apprentice again for the time being. ”
Zhao Fei rejected Duan Wuxian, and Duan Wuxian's face became extremely embarrassed at that time.
This kid is so ignorant that he dares to refuse himself in public.
"Don't you need to think about it again?" Duan Wuji's tone was not as soft as it was just now.
"Lord of the city, I have already thought about it carefully, and I will discuss this matter later. Zhao Fei's stubbornness caused Duan Wuxian to be strongly dissatisfied.
Everyone looked at him like a fool, they couldn't imagine that Zhao Fei would dare to refuse the city lord's request. In the eyes of others, this is a good thing that he dreams of, but Zhao Fei decisively refused, leaving no room at all.
What does it mean to reject the lord of the city, can he not know?
What if you're the first one, you're still just a little ant in the eyes of the city lord.
Yan Xue heard that Zhao Fei had rejected the city lord, and she felt a burst of joy in her heart. She knew what kind of person Duan Wuxian was, Zhao Fei dared to refuse him in public today, the city lord would definitely not be able to swallow this breath. What followed was the suppression of him, and Zhao Fei would never have a good life in Flame City in the future.
You're a genius, you're very high-minded, so what? Even if you're a talent, you have to have a chance to grow.
"Since you don't want to worship me as a teacher, then you can go. Duan Wuxian sneered.
"The small one is temporarily retired. ”
Zhao Fei and Zhao Ming walked out of the City Lord's Mansion at the same time, he didn't think much about it, let alone that the City Lord would retaliate against him in the future.
Back at home, Zhao Fei gave all his rewards to Zhao Ming, and asked him to take them back and give them to his grandfather, so that he could distribute them independently.
He is not short of money now, nor is he short of cultivation resources. The old man didn't know what magic he was doing, but he always had a lot of good treasures out of him.
If the old man can take out ten pills and give them to the Xu family, then he will definitely not lack pills.
Since Yu'er cultivated with the old man Qingfeng, she has also made rapid progress, and now she has reached the sixth order of the Qi Refining Realm, and the old man is very satisfied with her performance.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye, and during these three months, Zhao Fei had almost cut off all contact with the outside world, and he concentrated on cultivating at home.
His hard work and seriousness made the old man Qingfeng very pleased. He knew that he didn't choose the wrong person, and Zhao Fei was a good seedling.
In the morning, Zhao Fei walked out of the room and came to the courtyard, he exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and practiced all night.
After three months of closed-door cultivation, he had now reached the fifth order of the Refining Realm. He was quite satisfied with the speed at which his cultivation had improved.
