Chapter 58: Excessive Demands
had the courage to refuse the old city lord's wooing, but what Liang Hao didn't expect was that the other party actually said that he had another purpose for looking for him?
The old city lord sensed Liang Hao's nervousness and smiled slightly.
In fact, he originally felt that it was unlikely that Liang Hao would join, after all, the resources that such an excellent disciple could eat in the original sect must be terrifying.
As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken, not the tail of a phoenix.
Although his Changyu City claims to be at the level of a second-rate Immortal Sect, it is not a serious Immortal Sect after all, and it is impossible for the other party to take the risk of betraying the sect and join it easily.
And the reason why he asked knowingly was that he was ready to be rejected once.
In this case, due to human nature, after rejecting the request of a person in a high position that one should not have refused, there will be panic in the heart, and the desire to make amends will arise.
At this time, it is much easier to put forward your true purpose.
The old city lord has lived for so many years, and this level of calculation is almost easy, and after groaning, he also said his true purpose.
"In fact, I came to you because there was one thing that I couldn't come forward, only you juniors. The old city lord said.
At this time, Liang Hao was indeed a little flustered, and there was an idea of making amends, so he nodded lightly, looking like he was listening.
Seeing this, the old city lord was also very satisfied, and continued: "This time the alchemist assessment, the Alchemist Association sent someone to supervise, in order to prevent fraud and corruption in the branch, this is indeed very necessary. ”
"But the problem is, among the people who came this time, there is a new Tianjiao of the Alchemist Association, who is still only in the late stage of foundation building, and there are rumors that he has successfully cultivated the third-order elixir!"
The old city lord said, and his eyes began to shine, "And our Changyu City has always been known for its strictness and excellence, and in recent years, many talented young alchemists have joined, so the people of the general association know it...... But I still hope to hold a small-scale alchemy competition, so that that Dan Dao Tianjiao can challenge all our young alchemists in Changyu City!"
When Liang Hao heard this, his expression immediately moved, and he almost guessed the other party's purpose.
"One person challenges everyone?" Liang Hao asked rhetorically.
"That's right, so this is related to the face of my Changyu City, I hope that you can go for a long time as an alchemist registered in Changyu City as one of the participants in the small competition in seven days. ”
"Of course I won't let you help in vain, after all, if you win, it will inevitably make the general manager lose face, although I will help you take all this responsibility, but in addition, you can also choose any pill from the old man's private collection, regardless of the grade, and take it away. ”
The old city lord said worriedly, although the people of the association will leave in a few days after supervising the alchemy assessment, but this kind of offending people, he also understands that ordinary people will not be willing to do it.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Liang Hao's body shake violently.
"Yes...... It will disgrace the general assembly?!...... Wouldn't they be very angry?"
Liang Hao's eyes widened, and his tone couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing this expression, the old city lord also frowned, and said with a sad look: "Indeed, I know that this is very risky, and I guarantee that I will bear some consequences, but after all, you are not from my Changyu City, even if you refuse to ......."
The old city lord has a relatively gentle personality, although he pays attention to face, he doesn't want to force an outsider, but he doesn't know at all, at this moment, Liang Hao's heart is full of excitement!!
Oh my God, the alchemist who will always be sent to be the overseer?
That identity is extremely noble! Whether it is cultivation or strength, I am afraid it is not ordinary.
And as long as he ruthlessly loses the face of that alchemy wizard, wouldn't he let all the members of the association be slapped in the face? !
This kind of good thing, some people say that it will help you bear the consequences? And the reward?
Liang Hao's heart was ecstatic now, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster.
He even had a picture in front of him, thinking that after he slapped the people in the face, the negative emotions in that group of people would rush into his body!
And how cultivated is the old city lord?
He immediately felt it, and the kid in front of him was very nervous!
Indeed, as a disciple of a third-rate demon sect, let him offend the people of the high-ranking Eastern Regions Alchemy Master Association? This is really a bit inhumane, I am afraid that if it were him, he would have already knelt down and begged to be let go.
Thinking of this, the old city lord couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sighed lightly.
"This requirement is very excessive, even no one in our Changyu City is willing to go, not to mention the strength of the Tianjiao of the association, it is a shame to lose, and it is an offense to win, except for our Yun family who insists on choosing a few juniors to come out to fight, outsiders are afraid of it, if you don't agree, I can understand......"
The old city lord said worriedly, but Liang Hao was desperately suppressing his excitement at the moment, and finally pursed his mouth, struggling very much, and two words burst out of his mouth:
"I'll go!"
"What!?" The old city lord was stunned for a moment, as if he thought that his ears had heard it wrong, and with his cultivation, he actually asked back.
"I'm willing to go!" Liang Hao raised his head, and the expression on his face was very forceful, so that people could feel his "determination" when they saw it.
"As the saying goes, the heart of the parents of the doctor, the Dan master is also half a doctor, the seniors are kind-hearted, they didn't force me, I know that there will always be that face, and it is not worth it for the seniors, and I will never let you lose face!"
Liang Hao replied loudly, as if he was moved by the old city lord's sincere attitude.
"Good, good, good!"
The old city lord said three good words in a row, because Liang Hao's words almost spoke to his heart!
After all, he is usually too talkative and has no quarrel with the world, so although Changyu City began to expand and become strong because of the gathering of alchemists, the old city lord did not give them too many restraints, and they all stayed in Changyu City as a guest, and in terms of cohesion and appeal, it was far less powerful than other second-rate immortal sects.
As a result, no one in his branch was willing to let his proud disciples participate in the small competition, which made him feel very chilled.
At this time, Liang Hao stood up, I have to say, it is very heartwarming!
"I'm optimistic about you, you passed the second-order assessment so easily, or the Nine Rank Pill, I'm afraid you still have the strength to spare, right? This time Xiaobi, no matter what the result is, I will respect and be grateful for your bravery. ”
The old city lord said, suddenly feeling a little melancholy.
I didn't expect that I had been in Changyu City for so many years, and the branch had joined so many alchemists, but at the critical moment, it was not as good as a young man who had just come to be angry.
Liang Hao listened, and although he was slightly moved by the reward, he still asked about the things he cared about.
"How many people will there be?"
"About ten. The old lord replied earnestly.
"What strength?"
"Eight golden pills, one in the late stage of foundation building, one ...... Yuan infancy. Speaking of which, the old city lord's face was also slightly gloomy, after all, the kid in front of him had only built the foundation period, and it was really cruel to let him slap the face of a large number of Jin Dan led by the Yuan Infant Period!
"Yuan Infant !!" Liang Hao was also shocked, after all, he had never provoked a person of this level, and he would never dare to provoke him!
"Yes......" The old city lord pursed his lips and nodded, the Yuan Infant Period was nothing to him, but it was a person who would be a general member!
“...... I know, the kid will retire first, and when the time comes, Senior Lao will let someone come to the gym to inform me. ”
Liang Hao said, with no expression on his face, turned around and walked out of the cabin.
Until he left the City Lord's Mansion, walked in Changyu City, and finally arrived at his room in the Dao Pavilion, he had a heavy face.
Then he entered the room and silently opened the ban to prevent prying eyes.
On that day, no one knew what happened in the room......
But according to the testimony of a tenant who did not want to be named, it seemed that there was a laugh that could shake the whole building, faintly reaching his ears......
