Chapter 177: Invitations
Chapter 177 Invitation
The first floor of Wanbao Restaurant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I don't know if it can be said that it is fate, Li Dao came here again, this time it was also the three old guys who had a treat, but the person who invited the treat had changed.
Hong Fu, Wu Tianning and Ye Que are the three old guys, and like Han Hong, Lu Tianyi and Bai Yun, in order to show their sincerity, they invited Li Dao to Wanbao Restaurant.
The little boy in the restaurant didn't say anything when he saw Li Dao and Jiao Yan coming again, and still entertained honestly, as for whether he would gossip after dinner, it is unknown.
Looking at the wine and food that came up one after another, everyone humbly said a few words, and then began to move their hands and mouths.
Hong Fu reminded Li Dao: "Brother Fan, although the incident just now has been resolved, those people have grievances with you, so you should be careful." In public, they naturally don't dare to do anything to you, but if there are no outsiders, they may secretly attack you. ”
Li Dao smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention." ”
Wu Tianning said: "Hmph! These people are also too arrogant, they dare to make a move against you, Brother Fan, and they are not afraid of offending the three major trade unions." You don't have to worry too much, after this time, they should all refrain from it. ”
Li Dao smiled, Wu Tianning was not wrong, Zhou Yan must be restrained, unless he is really crazy, let alone Zhou Yan, even if it is Huacheng City Lord Huading, he must also weigh it, the three major trade unions may not desperately pursue Li Dao's death, but they will definitely send someone to investigate, to settle these investigators, it is impossible for Huading not to bleed.
Just like Xu Lin just now, he just understands that once he is tracked down, in the face of the pressure of the three major trade unions, he will definitely be abandoned, he can't afford to carry this pot, so he will leave in disgrace, anyway, it is not him who loses, but Zhou Yan, in fact, he also made a lot of money, most of the things that Zhou Yan respects will be handed over to Huading, but he will also keep some of it.
Jiao Yan looked at Li Dao, there was envy in her eyes, Li Dao was in her eyes before, but she was not even as good as her, but now? It can already make Zhou Yan dare not make a move, and even the people in the Huacheng City Lord's Mansion are afraid of it.
If she hadn't asked to withdraw from the marriage that day? Jiao Yan felt worried when she thought of this question.
Regretting, but of no use, she lowered her head and poured a glass of spirit wine into her mouth, which was obviously sweet and delicious, but it made her feel bitter.
......
The city lord's mansion of Huacheng, the reception room of the city lord Huading.
Xu Lin stood respectfully in front of a person.
What kind of person is that? He looks young, just young, with confidence in his eyes and majesty in his body.
Huading, this is the city lord of Huacheng, and he is also the number one person in the martial arts.
"Fifteen years old, a first-grade alchemist, a refining apprentice, and a formation apprentice?" Hua Ding touched his chin and said, "Your choice is very wise, it is not worth it to deal with such a genius for the sake of Zhou Yan." This person may have a use in the future, so you can give him a copy of the invitation. ”
Xu Lin breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was safe, and said, "Yes, I will personally deliver the invitation to him." ”
Hua Ding waved his hand, and Xu Lin went down.
Watching Xu Lin leave, Hua Ding's brows furrowed slightly, rubbed his forehead and said, "That little girl from the Ten Thousand Souls Sect doesn't seem to be very satisfied with Qingyun! ”
At the same time, his eyebrows were a little deep, and he said, "On the contrary, it is the peacock, whose origin is unknown, but there is no doubt that it is a person from the upper domain, and it is also a Nine Rank Saint Dan Master?"
Speaking of this, Hua Ding actually showed fear, which had not been shown on his face for many years.
Jiupin Saint Dan Master, this is not many in the Holy Domain, it is estimated that it is a person from the Immortal Domain, and if the other party says casually, he Huading and even his entire family may disappear from this world forever.
Why would such a person come here? I really don't understand!
......
In front of Wanbao Restaurant.
Li Dao and Jiao Yan are saying goodbye to Hong Fu, Wu Tianning and Ye Que.
After such a meal, the relationship between Li Dao and these three guys has also become a lot closer, at least he can say that he is his friend to outsiders.
Li Dao began to build contacts in the refiner's union, and Hong Fu, Wu Tianning, and Ye Que met a genius, and there was no doubt that this was a win-win situation.
"Fan Xing, where are we going this time?" Jiao Yan asked.
Li Dao smiled: "Talisman Maker Guild!"
Jiao Yan didn't ask anything, she was already numb, she had nothing to say about this Li Dao, what a pervert!
Li Daocai ignored her, and at this time, he was constantly measuring his current status and what he would improve in the future.
A first-grade alchemist, refining apprentice, formation apprentice, and soon he will become a talisman apprentice, and he has registered for the assessment of the first-level yuan master and the first-level yuan array master, and he will not fall behind in the assessment of the first-level yuan rune master.
In short, his status will be higher and higher, so that he will be more secure.
In fact, he would prefer to be able to participate in a more advanced assessment, but this is not realistic.
Because for each assessment, you need three more senior experts as examiners, and they don't have a lot of time, so you can't be on call.
Therefore, in addition to apprentices, other more advanced assessments start at the beginning of the month, and the assessment time ranges from one month, three months, to half a year, and one year.
In this way, the burden on the examiner can be reduced.
In the more advanced cities, the number of examiners is larger, so the time interval between the exams is shorter, but it also takes a month.
Why? That's a seniority consideration.
If you are strong enough, but if you don't have enough qualifications, you will also be restricted.
No matter which union he joins, even if he is the lowest-level apprentice, he has a certain status in society, just like Li Dao now, he can be respected by others, and the enemy does not dare to act easily.
And while gaining status, you also need to contribute, after all, you get benefits, and you can't completely not reciprocate.
Only by doing tasks for the union and paying for the union can you improve your status step by step, and there are also considerations in this regard.
While thinking about it, Li Dao had already come to the Talisman Maker's Union.
The talisman industry is the coldest among the four major industries, but in fact it is also extremely hot, and the talisman seal, like the elixir, weapons, and formations, is in short supply.
The battles between the warriors were too frequent, and the consumption of the talisman seal was huge and could not be replenished at all.
Moreover, the lower the cultivation, the more people like to use the talisman, because the conditions for its use are very low, unlike weapons, there are often restrictions on cultivation, otherwise the power will be weakened, or even unable to be urged.
Of course, if you don't have to do it, you basically won't urge the rune seal, because the price of the rune seal is not low, and it is mostly a one-time consumable, even if the high-level rune seal can be used many times, but the number of times is limited, and it won't be too much, so unless it's a loser, it won't be used indiscriminately.
......
Led by a respectful waitress, Li Dao entered the talisman room.
There are three examiners, Zhang Huai'an, Dongfang Ming and Lu Qi, all three of whom are old guys.
Li Dao can be regarded as understanding, and only an old guy would be willing to be an examiner, and everyone else is probably in cultivation.
Truly accomplished martial artists rarely waste time, and being an examiner also has some points, but this is also limited, not too much, for young talismans, it is definitely worth the loss.
There is no doubt that Zhang Huai'an, Dongfang Ming and Lu Qi, the three first-level Yuan Fu masters, are full of admiration for Li Dao's genius, once this kind of person grows up, they are far behind, in fact, the other party's identity is already higher than them.
While transmitting the sound and talking, he looked at Li Dao's talisman, and his heart was full of sighs.
Talisman making was simpler than alchemy, refining, and arraying, so it was a quick success.
The talisman apprentice passed the assessment, and Zhang Huai'an, Dongfang Ming and Lu Qi were all full of blessings.
Li Dao naturally spoke to each other very politely, so that the three of them were very satisfied, without any accidents, the three old guys also sent an invitation to Li Dao, planning to invite Li Dao to dinner.
Li Dao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: No matter what society it is, the friendship between friends often can't pass such a level.
did not refuse, this is also very important to Li Dao, it will be helpful for him to understand the talisman world.
Coincidentally, when Li Dao walked out of the talisman master union, he saw Xu Lin Xu again.
......
Xu Lin looked at the extra talisman apprentice badge on Li Dao's chest and was slightly stunned.
He suddenly realized that this Li Dao seemed to be more unfathomable than he had guessed, he had obtained the badge of talisman apprentice so lightly, and he had made achievements in the four fields, this was only fifteen years old, this kind of genius was definitely not something he could offend.
Xu Lin's originally somewhat arrogant mood suddenly dissipated, his head lowered slightly, and said: "Fan Xingfan Gongzi, my city lord invites Gongzi to attend his birthday banquet at the city lord's mansion on the fifteenth day of next month. ”
Li Dao smiled and took the invitation card handed to him by Xu Lin, and looked at it, it turned out to be Huading's thirty-fifth birthday banquet.
Arching his hand, Fan Xing said: "You go back and tell your city lord that on the day of his birthday banquet, I will definitely be there for you." ”
"Okay, then I'll take my leave. After Xu Lin gave up, he left directly.
Li Dao watched Xu Lin leave, thoughtful.
He can guess something, and some of his information has been known by Huading, so this invitation will appear.
It seems that he has been noticed by some people, but he doesn't feel alarmed, with his current status, he already has a certain amount of self-preservation, and his cultivation, as long as there is enough time, it is not difficult to improve.
He accepted Huading's invitation, more to strengthen his personal connections, only to consolidate his relationship with various related people, his position will be more consolidated, and the security will be higher.
"Brother Fan, have you also been invited by the City Lord's Mansion?" Zhang Huai'an said with a smile.
Li Dao turned his head to look at Zhang Huai'an and said, "Brother Zhang, do you know anything about this birthday banquet?"
Zhang Huai'an said: "People who are a little famous in the city should be invited." In fact, there is nothing, the city lord of Hua holds a birthday banquet every year, in fact, it is just for us to have time to communicate with each other, promote the power of the city lord's mansion, and at the same time receive some congratulatory gifts and search for it. ”
Li Dao pouted and said, "Indeed, the congratulatory gift can't be too shabby." ”
This is actually a matter of face, the more congratulatory gifts you give, the greater the face will naturally be, if you give less, it is not giving face, but will offend people.
Those forces under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion should be even more careful, if they offend the City Lord's Mansion, the consequences will be unimaginable, and some of them who deliberately do not come will even be destroyed by the City Lord's Mansion, so as to make an example of chickens and monkeys.
However, Li Dao didn't care too much, after all, he didn't have anything to do with the City Lord's Mansion, and he just went there to get to know some people and increase his connections.
"Speaking of which, it is rumored that this birthday banquet will have one more thing to be announced. Dongfang Ming interjected this time.
"What's the matter?" asked Li Dao curiously.
Dongfang Ming said: "I heard that Hua Qingyun, the young city lord, and Xue Manli, the daughter of the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Souls Sect, are going to get engaged. ”
Lu Qi said at this time: "This is just a rumor, and it has not been confirmed by the City Lord's Mansion at all. Although the relationship between the Huacheng City Lord's Mansion and the Wanling Sect is good, this kind of thing is definitely not a child's play, if there is such a thing, it should have been rumored at this time. ”
Dongfang Ming touched his chin and said, "This is also, but it is groundless, it may not be without a cause, and maybe there is such a thing." ”
However, Dongfang Ming obviously has no intention of packing tickets.
Li Dao's mind came to mind the scene of Hua Qingyun and Xue Manli walking together that day, would they really be married?
However, he just thought about it, and didn't care too much, he and Xue Manli broke off that day, in short, it didn't matter anymore, and he didn't want the two sides to have anything to do with it.
The others didn't pay much attention to these things, and soon got on to other things.
On the same day, entering the first floor of Wanshun Restaurant for the third time, the five of them had a big meal again.
Li Dao and Jiao Yan didn't move their chopsticks much, not that they were too hungry.
The food on the table is not simple, spirit wine, spirit meat, spirit grass (spirit vegetables), although the grade is not high, but when used as food, it is also a luxury.
These things, after eating, are easily absorbed, turned into vitality in the body, increasing one's cultivation, and there is almost no sense of fullness.
It's just that the warrior doesn't care too much about appetite, and it doesn't mean anything to eat too much, unless he really has a special hobby, he will eat and drink with perseverance.
This meal was not eaten for a long time, and after everyone ate and drank, they were separated again.
Li Dao and Jiao Yan walked on the road.
"Fan Xing, will we go back now?" Jiao Yan asked.
Li Dao smiled and said, "No! I still want to see my friends." ”
Li Dao has free time now, so he chooses to go to meet friends. (To be continued.) )
