Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Life of Almost Half Seclusion
In a thatched hut in the Hundred Medicine Garden of Huangfeng Valley, the little old man Ma Shibo's eyes widened, staring at Li Youran as if he had seen a ghost, and he kept muttering:
"This is impossible, not only did you and Han Xiaozi not die, but they also picked up a leak in the forbidden land, handed over more than thirty elixirs at once, and were accepted as registered disciples by Senior Uncle Li!"
"Yes, Uncle Ma! Isn't this a profound source of blessing, and the creation is amazing! Li Youran sat opposite the little old man and said with a smile, as if he was very proud.
"The source of blessing is profound, the creation is amazing, and the ghost is almost unable to come back, and the source of blessing is profound, and the creation is amazing."
The little old man listened to Li Youran's words, his face returned to normal, but he put on a strange look and looked at Li Youran, but he looked at Li Youran like a stupid B, and Li Youran was furious in his heart, I don't know what the other party meant, this little old man can't be a! Thinking of this, his heart immediately perked, if Old Man Ma knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would definitely take out the magic weapon to take his dog life if he offended Uncle Li.
"Li boy, your brother's trip to the forbidden land has indeed gained a lot, far beyond my expectations!" The little old man thought about it and sighed and said.
"We didn't expect it ourselves!" Li leisurely pretended to deal with it casually.
"But, do you know the real intention of Uncle Li to accept you as a registered disciple?"
The little old man's next sentence with a slight look of regret made Han Li understand what he meant after being stunned for a moment, and said indifferently:
"Uncle Ma, I know that there is an unwritten rule in this sect, where there is a clear master-apprentice relationship, the master has the right to extract half of the apprentice's tribute to the master as a thank you gift, of course, this is only once, not an example. And the elixir we collected in the forbidden land can be regarded as some kind of tribute to the master. Therefore, according to my estimate, the reason why the master is so enthusiastic about accepting my two brothers as apprentices is that he has taken a fancy to my two or so thank-you gifts. The elixir is only half of it, and your reward is naturally only half, so the two brothers of Tsukidan don't have the luxury of expecting two per person, it should only be one per person. ”
Li Youran frowned, but there was no expression of anger or dissatisfaction, just bowed his head and was silent, which made the little old man a little surprised and surprised.
"You know! You're also..."
The little old man asked puzzled.
Of course, he knew that his master had taken a fancy to their elixir, which was something he expected, but having a master in the Dan stage as a backer also allowed his brothers to cultivate with peace of mind. A pill of Zhuji Dan is really nothing to him who is about to open the furnace for alchemy! As long as he can succeed in alchemy, he will naturally not put a single grain in his eyes, and there is, can his brother not agree? What will happen to Master Li afterwards, even if Master Li has a lot of people who don't care about them, but some people want to show themselves in front of Master Li, the Qi refining period is fine, but if it is the foundation building period, his brother will have a headache.
"Although there is one less Tsukidan, in exchange for being accepted as a registered disciple by the master, this is not bad, and it is not a loss. As you know, my brothers' qualifications are really not very good, and even if they take two pills of Tsukidan, there is still little hope of succeeding in building a foundation. It's better to exchange one grain for the master's big backer, so that even if we are still in the Qi refining period in the future, no one in this sect will dare to bully us, you must know that although the master does not really accept us as apprentices, but after all, we are still holding his brand, and ordinary disciples and stewards will easily trouble us. And as far as I know, the master is very protective! ”
Since the old man gave him two bottles of pills when he went to the forbidden land, he had already seen that the other party was a cold and warm person, and he was really good! But now this remark, Li Youran has the heart to say it to Xiao Lao'er, and the other party is still worthy of deep friendship.
When this Uncle Ma saw that Li Youran could say these words, he was still very happy in his heart, and soon said goodbye and left. The Hundred Medicine Garden was naturally handed over to Li Youran again.
Although the trip to the forbidden land was only ten days, Li Youran felt like a few years had passed, even if he encountered countless dangers of losing his life in Ip Man's life, he did not feel so powerless this time, he really had to become stronger, when he was lying on the bed in the Hundred Medicine Garden, he felt that this bed had never been warm and flowing.
On this journey that risked his life, he finally saved his life and came back, and he achieved his goal perfectly. Now he sleeps soundly with peace of mind, and sleeps very sweetly and innocently! It seems that all the battles in the world are far away from Li Youran in his sleep at this moment.
This sleep, Li leisurely slept until noon on the second day before waking up.
After waking up, Li Youran was in good spirits, and he and Han Li immediately began to arrange their future plans!
Of course, what they did first was to ripen the three-flavor main medicine on hand as soon as possible so that they could be preserved, and as for the arrangement of other auxiliary medicinal materials, it was naturally necessary to put it last. However, it is not a matter of ten days and a half months to prepare everything, according to his estimates, it will take at least a few years to get everything in order and officially start alchemy, but it is also necessary to practice and exchange experiences first.
Therefore, the two of them, who had all the elixirs in their hands, were not in a hurry, but sorted out their other gains in the forbidden land.
As a result, there were more than ten middle-level spirit stones, thousands of lower-level spirit stones, and a large number of spirit weapons of each level, a waste silver sword, and so on.
However, in addition to these items, there were two other items that attracted Li Youran's attention the most, a doll with a bow and arrows in Han Li's hand, and a silver-shining page.
This doll is mainly carved from wood, with ears, nose, mouth and eyes. And all over his body, all wearing extremely realistic iron armor and iron helmets, and even the longbow in his hand is made of bronze. This thing was the top-grade magic weapon "Puppet Archer" that Han Li had touched out from his master in the first place.
After this magic weapon was in his hands, Han Li had never taken it out and tried it. Because this magic weapon actually requires the ability to divide occult arts, a trace of divine consciousness must be injected into the puppet before it can be used.
But this method of distraction, who will cultivate it until the foundation building period! You must know that only monks who are above the foundation period will have sufficient consciousness to support the pain of distraction. Otherwise, this bit of divine consciousness in the Qi refining period, I'm afraid that before the distraction is successful, the person will have completely collapsed and gone crazy.
Han Li took the doll in his hand and played with it for a while, then showed it to Li Youran and gave it back to him, after which the two of them picked up the silver page and looked at it carefully.
Just like the original book, this silver page was a trophy that Han Li had obtained from the barefoot man of the Giant Sword Gate, and it was convex and concave, with many strange patterns, and it looked very mysterious! Han Li pondered for a long time, but still didn't have a clue, so he gave Li Youran to study to see if this eldest brother, who was much smarter than him, saw if he saw anything, of course Li Youran knew that this was one of the two pages of the "Qingyuan Sword Technique", as long as he went to his master Li Huayuan and took another page, he would be able to get the complete set of "Qingyuan Sword Technique", of course he couldn't tell Han Li, and after saying a few words, he borrowed it from Han Li to study.
That's it, in the next few days, they are waiting for news from the upper echelons to see if it is really the same as the original book, and the rewards of their brothers are discounted!
Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, Uncle Wang and another unfamiliar steward came to them, and really only brought two Tsukidan rewards. And the rhetoric spoken is basically not much different from the original book! The rhetoric that Master Li took away their elixir was said to be filial piety as a disciple.
Of course, the two brothers who knew the situation did not express any opinion at all, which made the two stewards, who thought that they would have to explain it clearly, breathed a sigh of relief, and then left with a smile.
After seeing the two of them leave, the two brothers sorted out the elixir again.
In this way, time passed month by month. Three years have passed in a flash, and the preparations before the two brothers have finally completed their alchemy. In this not-so-short period of time, several things have happened.
During this period, after Han Li's Senior Sister Chen took a rewarded Tsuki-Tsukidan, after a whole year of penance, she finally succeeded in building the foundation two years ago and entered the foundation-building period. And her brother was unlucky, even though he took the second Tsukidan in his life, he still failed to rush through the level and lingered outside the foundation building period. Heard
Another thing is that Li Youran and Han Li suddenly became famous in Huang Feng Valley, which can be regarded as a little famous!
The story of his luck in the forbidden land, obtaining many elixirs, and being accepted as a registered disciple by Master Li, in the first year after returning from the forbidden land, the entire sect spread the word one after another, and almost didn't let other low-level disciples burn themselves with jealousy. It wasn't until the following year that the matter gradually subsided.
There was one more hiccup in the meantime, though. It was the old man surnamed Ye who accepted Han Li as a disciple, who suddenly personally stated that he had no master-apprentice relationship with Han Li, and gave a lot of spirit stones and pills as a supplement for the two of them, which was all expected by Li Youran, but this made Han Li greatly appreciate the chic feeling of enjoying the shade under a big tree, and he couldn't help but be a little secretly complacent! It seems that his identity as a registered disciple of Master Li is sometimes really useful!
But speaking of this new master, except for sending a guy who is also a registered disciple and sending a copy of the "Qingyuan Sword Technique" exercise that he personally transcribed, there has been no news in the past three years, and it seems that he has long forgotten about them, but it doesn't matter that except for Han Li to slander a few words from time to time, in fact, Li Youran is very happy about the current situation, he is now focused on Zhuji Dan refining, naturally he doesn't want anyone to disturb him, for him, the "Qingyuan Sword Technique" exercise is the most important, With this you will be fine.
But this almost semi-secluded life finally came to an end today.
