Chapter 16: The Three Families Meet
Chu Li couldn't open his mouth to ask again, so he could only open the door and go in, constantly recalling what happened today in his mind, and he really couldn't think of any reason that could attract Li Lao's summons
"Meet Elder Li. There was only one person in the room, Li Lao, who was sitting on the upper seat, resting with his eyes closed, and Chu Li clasped his hands.
"No courtesy, Chu Xiaoyou may have guessed the reason why the old man saw you today?" Li Lao opened his eyes and looked at Chu Li.
"The younger generation doesn't know, I think all the way, I really can't guess. Chu Li said honestly.
"You made all these Divine Talismans, right?" Li Lao picked up a Divine Talisman on the table and gestured at it.
Chu Li pondered for a while, not knowing what Elder Li wanted to do, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he nodded and said, "It was done by the juniors." β
"Very good, the lines are clear, in one go, the condensed wind aura is enough, what surprises me the most is that you can actually make so many divine talismans in just a few days. The success rate is definitely not below 50%. Li Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Thank you Elder Li for your compliment, the younger generation is really scared, but it is just a fluke that he has made so many divine talismans. Chu Li shook again and said modestly.
"Hey, this is a bad word, luck is also a kind of strength, Chu Li, let me ask you, the old man intends to take you as an apprentice, are you willing?" Li Lao sat up slightly, looked directly at Chu Li and said.
"Thank you Elder Li for your love, it's just that the kid has a master, and he really can't worship you as a teacher. Chu Li hurriedly said.
"Hey, the peak of the third-level talisman master wants to accept you as an apprentice, it's too naΓ―ve, Chu Li, don't worry about him, just refuse directly. At the same time, Tian Xuanzi complained in Chu Li's sea of knowledge, his tone was very disdainful.
"I'm not a pedantic person, I like Xiaoyou very much, and I don't want to lose all my charms. Elder Li obviously didn't expect Chu Li to refuse without thinking about it, but he still didn't give up and said another word.
Chu Li showed an embarrassed expression, "The juniors really don't dare to be, and I ask the seniors to forgive me." Chu Li took a deep look.
"That's it, since Xiaoyou has no intention, the old man doesn't want to be strong, but I also ask Xiaoyou to remember that the person who went out from my Qingyang City Rune Division Hall, you must glorify my Qingyang City Rune Division Hall, you go down first." Li Lao waved his hand, sighed, and closed his eyes again.
"Follow the teachings of your predecessors. Chu Li retreated with his hands folded, and just closed the door, but turned around to find Chen Muxue standing at the door.
"Who are you?" asked Chu Li curiously.
"I was waiting for you, and I didn't thank you properly last time I said goodbye. Chen Muxue's red lips opened lightly, and she said softly: "What is the matter with Elder Li looking for you?"
"Elder Li said that he wanted to accept me as an apprentice, but I knew that my qualifications were ordinary, so I didn't dare to be, so I refused. β
"Chu Li, when did you learn such a smooth tone?" Chen Muxue laughed, but then found that Chu Li looked serious, so he put away his smile: "You can't be serious, right?"
Chu Li nodded, the meaning was obvious.
"You, you can really find trouble, it's only been a few days since you arrived in Qingyang City, you first offended the Agni Gang, and today you offended the Jin family. You pushed away the backer who was sent to the door again, I really don't know what to say about you!" Chen Muxue glanced at Chu Li angrily, feeling a little hated that iron could not become steel.
"Isn't your biggest backer you?" Chu Li smiled and raised the "Chen" token in his hand, which was the Keqing token that Chen Muxue had thrown to him before.
"Since you are the guest of my Chen family, then you can't shirk my trouble with you. Chen Muxue smiled slyly.
Chu Li suddenly felt fooled, and said angrily: "There is really nothing to take for nothing in this world!"
"Haha, I won't let you suffer, now we have a common enemy, helping me is helping yourself. Chen Muxue said with a smile: "I heard that you are now a second-level talisman master, you made these magic talismans today, right?"
"You know all this?" Chu Li had a bad premonition.
"It's better for you to take all your talismans to my Chen family's shop to sell them in the future, and it can be regarded as fulfilling your obligations as a guest, and the price will definitely be favorable." β
"Okay. Chu Li said helplessly, but couldn't help but complain in his heart: Look at me, I don't fill your Chen family's shop with divine talismans!
"My Chen family was originally engaged in the largest talisman business in Qingyang City, but in the past two years, the Jin family has continued to recruit talisman masters, which has had some influence on my Chen family, and recently I finally couldn't help but make a move on my Chen family, and I used a lot of extraordinary means, please help me." Chen Muxue suddenly looked at Chu Li seriously and said.
"Okay, I'll do my best. I don't know why, Chu Li couldn't bear to refuse this time, but agreed seriously.
"There is one thing to find you today, in a few days it will be the three martial arts, I want you to fight as a guest of the Chen family. β
"What is that?"
"In Lanshan, thirty miles away from Qingyang City, there is a dark iron vein, which has always been jointly controlled by the three major families, and every year's profit sharing needs to be decided by holding three martial arts meetings. Each family sent five juniors under the age of 25 to participate. The distribution of Xuaniron ore is determined by the final ranking results, for two consecutive years, my Chen family is at the bottom and has suffered heavy losses, this time I want you to play with me. β
"That's right. Chu Li pondered for a moment, but did not agree.
"After a while, there will be another Xianmen selection in Qingyang City, and I can give you a place for my Chen family to participate in at that time. Chen Muxue saw that Chu Li didn't agree, and threw out the temptation again.
"Chu Li, promise her that she must participate in the selection of the Immortal Gate, in this Qingyang City, you will never reach the peak of cultivation. Tian Xuanzi shouted in Chu Li's sea of knowledge at this time.
"Okay, I promise you. Hearing that Chu Li agreed, Chen Muxue was immediately overjoyed.
In recent years, the Chen family has indeed declined, and the younger generation can reach the innate realm, counting her, there are only two of them, and Chen Muxue has been practicing in the Heavenly Sword Sect for many years, and she really can't take care of the Chen family too much, and she will only come back every year when the three families will be martial.
This year, because of some accidents in the Chen family, she had to come back early for a while, but the other two major families have three young generations of the innate realm, which has led to the existence of their Chen family at the bottom, although Chu Li has just been promoted to a second-level talisman master, but it can also add a lot of chances to Chen Muxue.
Under Chen Muxue's repeated invitations, Chu Li still couldn't refuse Chen Muxue's kindness and moved into a small attic in the Chen family's compound, Chu Li also knew that Chen Muxue was thinking about his own safety, although Qingyang City had rules, but for a big family like the Jin family, it was too simple to make a person disappear.
Late at night, Chu Li had just sat cross-legged on the bed, running his mental method, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, when he heard a surprised voice from Tianxuanzi: "Is there something strange in your body? This is a dragon chain? What a vicious heart!"
