Looking back at the smaller and smaller wooden buildings, the three-storey high-rise buildings in the distance gradually became smaller with the elongation of the distance, and the wide façade and majestic momentum disappeared more and more as the carriage went away. However, the quaint and elegant wooden houses are in stark contrast to the surrounding brick and stone houses, and although they are getting farther and farther apart, they are still as clear as they are.

Just like the deep impression left on him by the two women Li Zhen and Tao'er during this time, although the contact time is not long, it is so clearly imprinted.

Li Zhen, who is decent, has always been smiling, and Tao'er, who is straightforward and fast-talking, and does things vigorously, makes him also know that mortals in the spiritual world are also the same as his usual self, all living beings, although their living states are different, they are also mostly kind.

"Yes, yes, ......" The sound of hooves was crisp, thoughts were flying, and the continuous mountains were as spectacular and amazing as when he came, and the momentum was magnificent. It's just that Shen Tongshi at this time is completely different from when he came, a few months ago, all he was thinking about was inquiring about the news of the underworld, and trying to find a way to go there to reunite with his wife. And now, he can only work hard towards that impossible dream under a mood of almost despair.

It's like climbing a mountain that connects heaven and earth, even if he knows that no matter how hard he tries, he can't climb it, but he has no choice.

has been climbing hard, there is still a glimmer of hope, but once you give up, then there is really no hope at all. Finally, in the past few months, he has not gained nothing, not to mention anything else, at least his own cultivation has broken through from the sixth layer of the Qi cultivation period to the eighth layer in one fell swoop, which is something that he never dared to think of before, and at this moment, the vigorous and majestic spiritual power in the sea of qi in his body also makes his whole person's momentum different.

It's like a penniless person who suddenly has a lot of money, not only does he even speak loudly, but he even walks. Of course, Shen Tong is not like this, but with the increase of his own strength, a kind of self-confidence from the bottom of his heart makes his expression more indifferent and calm. Far from being as restless and at a loss as when he first came to the spirit world.

Half a month later, the unhurried carriage drove into the Li family's compound, and after staying in Luofeng Town for so long, it re-entered this Dingyuan City, that kind of prosperity and liveliness, which couldn't help but make Shen Tong feel a little emotional. Compared with the busy Luofeng Town, this city that lives a peaceful and comfortable life at the moment, makes people involuntarily think of the words "Guotai Min'an", compared to the life of fighting ghosts all day long, after coming here, it is indeed easy for people to let go of all their guard.

"Li Xiaoyou, your Li family is very magnificent!" Youxuan, who was silent all the way, walked on the wide road of the Li Mansion compound at any time, and couldn't help but say with emotion.

Shen Tong couldn't help but reply: "Senior You, our Li family ancestor is a cultivator in the Jindan period, and there are not a few monks in the foundation building period, you still have to be careful." ”

You Xuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Why is Li Xiaoyou so cautious when he arrives at his own house?"

Shen Tong sighed and said: "My parents are gone, helpless, and there are still people in the clan who covet the only little bit of family property, so in this case, it is natural to be low-key and cautious, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble." ”

You Xuan smiled and said: "You can pull out that old man's banner to make a strong momentum, there is a master in the foundation building period standing behind you, are you still afraid that someone will dare to attack your idea? Besides, Li Xiaoyou, you have a lot of mana at the moment, and ordinary people are definitely not your opponents!"

Speaking of that cheap master, Shen Tong was depressed in his heart, if it weren't for him, I am afraid that they are rapidly improving their strength in the Storm Mountain Range at this moment, where will they come back so soon, especially when they think of that completely unfamiliar sect, they feel even more irritable. The steps under his feet couldn't help but speed up a little, and at the same time advised: "Senior You, it's better for us to finish things and leave early, if I don't figure out what the old man really thinks, I can't really feel at ease for a moment." ”

Youxuan also said: "This is also true, it's just that the old man has not recovered his cultivation at the moment, otherwise, where do you need to be afraid of him, hum!"

They were talking here, but Shen Tong turned left and right through several layers of courtyards, and came to a high courtyard, which was quite spacious and tall, and there was a huge plaque hanging under the eaves, with the words "steward's room" written on it, and the font was simple and vigorous. Looking inside, rows of shelves stood among them, and several servants in Tsing Yi were busy in all directions, sorting out the files, and concentrating. Everything is the same as it was months ago, and there is even the illusion that you have never left.

It's just that when Shen Tong's eyes looked at the position by the window in the west wing, he couldn't help but be stunned.

An old man with a white beard and hair and a silver-white robe was playing against another person, and that person was also dressed in a monk's robe, with a majestic expression, and the long hair on his chin fluttered.

Shen Tongxin moved, walked over quickly, and immediately bowed to the two of them and saluted: "Junior Li Ping, I have seen the patriarch and the third uncle. ”

The person who played against the old man with white hair was Li Huanzhang, the contemporary head of the Li family, but at this moment, his face full of majesty had a hint of a smile, and he looked at Shen Tong with a very satisfied look, only to hear him chuckle and say: "Calculate the time, you should have arrived, but I didn't expect that you didn't go back to rest, and came straight here, but it also saved me from running so much." ”

"I don't dare to wait for my uncle for a long time, I don't know what my uncle can command. Shen Tong saluted again and said.

"Nephew Pingxian, this trip to Luofeng Town as a deacon, I didn't expect you to have this adventure, not only broke through the bottleneck of cultivation that plagued you in one fell swoop, but was also accepted as a disciple by Senior Brother Wei of Tianxing Valley, so that you are also a disciple of Tianxing Valley. Over the years, there are really not many outstanding qualifications among the younger generation of our Li family, and this time you can enter the sect, naturally you have earned enough face for the family, which really makes me very happy. Li Huanzhang said as he waved his hand, and immediately the chess pieces and chessboard on the table in front of him disappeared, and there were a bunch of spirit stones instead, which made Shen Tong very surprised.

I only heard Li Huanzhang say with a smile: "Counting it, you have been in retreat and meditation for so many years, and the clan has never received it, but this time when you come back, I will reissue it to you, and there are more than a dozen beginner-level talismans, which can be regarded as a reward for you, and also let you go out for self-defense." Pingxian nephew, after entering the sect, you must respect the teacher and fulfill your duties, your every move can represent the façade of our Li family. If you encounter any difficulties, you can go to Yuheng Peak to find your second uncle Li Yi, who is of the same clan and clan as each other, so naturally there will be some care. ”

Shen Tong couldn't help but slander in his heart, before this, no one had mentioned anything about the arrears of spirit stones over the years, but now he was generous. It seems that the spiritual world is really snobbish, everything is linked to cultivation, and it is really a naked money transaction, and there is almost no human affection at all. However, thinking that the patriarch had relieved him of the siege of the fifth aunt's family before, he didn't have any resentment.

If this is the case, how can you blame the patriarch for being ruthless!

At least in Shen Tong's feelings, this patriarch is okay with him, and they already have a share with each other, so how can they demand more?

"Thank you uncle, the little nephew will definitely not weaken the face of the family and ruin the reputation of the Li family. Shen Tong Shili said.

Seeing Shen Tong's sensible appearance, Li Huanzhang couldn't help but smile even more happily: "I see that you have strong spiritual power and abundant divine sense at the moment, after breaking through the bottleneck this time, you will definitely be able to cultivate to a big increase, although you have spent decades of hard work on the sixth layer, but you can only develop thinly after accumulation, this may not be your chance." I also hope that you will devote yourself to cultivating the Tao and can build a foundation as soon as possible, so that your parents can smile under the nine springs. ”

"The little nephew understands," Shen Tong replied.

The third uncle on the side also said with a smile: "Since you are going to Tianxing Valley this time, then the deacon task will be considered as complete, and here is the spirit stone reward, and the old man will be placed here together." As he spoke, he shook his hand, and several more spirit stones came out on the table.

Immediately, Li Huanzhang said something that made Shen Tongxin moved, "Since the third uncle said that your deacon task has been completed, then the five-year contract with me will be completed, so be it! Tomorrow morning, you go to the library with me, and I will fulfill your wish!"
