Chapter Twenty-Three: Staying in the City Lord's Mansion

Luo Tian thought about it for a while, but he couldn't help but bow his head under the eaves. But he still had to find a way to get the best of both worlds. Otherwise, if you are hated by this city lord, you will probably be killed if you can't get out of Lishui City at that time. Just as Luo Tian was thinking, he heard the city lord speak again.

"How about it? Daoist friends have changed their minds? I don't force you, since you are here, you are a guest of my city lord's mansion, and someone is here to serve wine and food!" When they heard this, the servants brought the food and wine. Luo Tian was speechless for a while, isn't this a forced request?

"Well, the city lord forgives the sin, I didn't think about it at the next moment just now, so I offended the city lord. In this case, can I go back and think about it for three days, and then I can give an answer to the lord of the city after three days. I just listened to Luo Tian say. He can't offend this person now, otherwise he will make enemies when he first comes to Luo, which is not what Luo Tian wants to see!

"Hehe, okay, I'll give you three days. After three days, you still have to think twice about whether to go or stay!" How could Luo Tian not be able to hear the sound outside the strings, looking at this meaning, if he didn't agree to the other party, it was estimated that it would be very much to say, let alone reach the third uncle of Yunye. This family is really rampant and domineering, and outsiders will come to them if they don't join them. Luo Tian was even more disgusted with the Zong family at the moment.

After that, everyone began to drink and have fun. It lasted until the evening, when Luo Tian was "escorted" back to the grocery store by a team of soldiers. According to the meaning of the city lord, this border is not peaceful, and this group of soldiers is used to protect Luotian. But Luo Tian knew it in his heart, and he was obviously afraid that he would run away secretly, so he sent someone to keep an eye on him.

"Fellow Daoist, you're back. What is the city lord looking for from you?" asked the owner of the grocery store.

Luo Tian heard this, but did not answer, but sighed and returned to his room. And the boss saw that Luo Tian was depressed, so he also followed.

"Fellow Daoist, there are no outsiders here, if you have any difficulties, you can tell you, and I will do my best to help you. "Just listen to the boss.

"Well, you don't know. This Lishui City Lord wants me to join his City Lord's Mansion, and then refine the elixir for the City Lord's Mansion. If it had been in the past, it would have been fine, but there was still something to be done, and I couldn't agree to their request. No, you're in trouble. The city lord gave me three days to make a decision, if you think about it, there must be only one answer to choose from, that's why I'm so worried!" I saw Luo Tian shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

After listening to Luo Tian's words, the old man also shook his head. He also knows the way of doing things. In the past, the original clan came to power hundreds of years ago. As soon as he came to power, he issued a decree that all subjects should change their surnames to "Luo". If you don't change your surname, you will be punished as a rebel, so today's clan is very tyrannical in the hearts of mortals.

The old man also told him that he himself was a member of one of the branches. Once the old man saw that the Zong family was separated and arrested people without asking questions, it was really rampant. However, for the mortals in the country, they don't have much to do with the Zong family, so the Zong family is mainly aimed at the immortal cultivation forces of the other four families.

"Senior, allow me to address you like that. Although you and I are in the same realm, but in terms of age, you are my grandparents, can you find a way to help me? I only want to see Elder Yunye separately, and I don't want to participate in the disputes of the Luo family. I saw Luo Tian clenching his fists and saying.

"Ahem, is this, in fact, I can't get used to what the Zong family does. But now that the Zong family is in full swing, if they know that I will help you escape privately, they will definitely not let our family go. In this case, you can let the old man go back and think about it, and see if you can come up with a way to get the best of both worlds!" said the old man.

"I'm sorry for you. Luo Tian said and sent the old man out, and Bo Zai was tightly guarding in front of Luo Tian's door! Now Bo Zai also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so it remembered Tong Lao's words and never left Luo Tian half a step.

Luo Tian didn't have a good night's rest, and he also hoped to come up with a foolproof plan, not to offend the city lord, but also to get out of the way. But after thinking about it all night, he didn't come up with any good solution.

Early the next morning, the owner of the grocery store came, and the old man came to Luo Tian's door, first looked around for a moment to see if there was anyone around, and then knocked on the door and entered Luo Tian's room.

"Senior, do you think of any way?" only to hear Luo Tian ask anxiously.

"Well, if you want to say a way, I have thought of it, but in the end, I will definitely offend the sect family. I have thought of three ways, listen to which one suits your heart," the old man said, and then he told Luo Tian his own method. While Luo Tian listened, he was surprised for a while, and frowned for a while.

The old man came up with three ways for Luo Tian, all of which could help him escape, but they were more or less dangerous.

The first is to flee in disguise. The old man said that every day there are food delivery vehicles entering here, as long as Luo Tian hides in the vehicle, he can escape. However, because of his huge size, Bo Tsai can't escape together. And the guards must be disturbed by the Bo Tsai staying here. In this way, Bo Zai will definitely not be able to escape. Luo Tian immediately vetoed it after hearing this, he couldn't do the sacrifice of Bozai!

In the second way, the old man asked Luo Tian to agree first, and then find an excuse to visit Elder Yunye. Because Elder Yunye had instructed Luo Tian to cultivate, he was counted as half of his master. The old man's meaning is that when Luo Tian arrives at Yun Ye Zhenren, he will never come back, presumably the Yun Ye Elder will protect Luo Tian's life.

However, in this way, Luo Tian will offend the Zong family, and it is also possible to provoke a fight between the division and the Zong family. Luo Tian thought for a moment, but also felt that it was inappropriate. He didn't want the third uncle to be exposed to the obscenity of the Zong family, so that the third uncle of Yunye was very likely to be targeted by the Zong family, which was also something Luo Tian didn't want to see.

The last option is somewhat similar to the second, but requires more careful planning. The premise is also to agree to the request of the city lord first and become their staff. Then find an opportunity to go out, this family must be afraid that Luo Tian will run away, so they will send someone to follow.

If some robbers come out halfway, and Luo Tian pretends to be killed, then the City Lord's Mansion will automatically give up! At that time, the Zong family thinks that Luo Tian has been killed, so naturally they will not hold a grudge against him. However, in the future, Luo Tian will have to live a life of invisibility when he walks in Luoguo.

When Luo Tian heard this method, he felt that he could give it a try, but it still needed the cooperation of the old man. After the two discussed some more details, Luo Tian sent the old man out of the house.

The three days are coming soon, and today is the day of Luo Tian's final reply. Like last time, Luo Tian was carried into the City Lord's Mansion in a sedan chair, and Bo Zai also followed Luo Tian, this time, Luo Tian lived in the City Lord's Mansion, so he brought all his things with him. When Luo Tian came to the City Lord's Mansion, he directly found the City Lord!

"How is it, Luo Daoyou, how are you thinking about it?" only to hear the city lord ask with a smile. He wasn't afraid that Luo Tian wouldn't agree, if he really didn't agree to his request, then the City Lord's Mansion wouldn't let this alchemy genius go to the branch alive!

"Hehe, Qiqi City Lord, think about it below. In the future, I will stay in the City Lord's Mansion to practice, and I hope the City Lord will take care of me. Luo Tian said with a smile. But in his heart at the moment, he hated the old fox in front of him.

"Hahaha, well, those who know the times are Junjie, and Daoyou really know the general. Come on, hurry up and serve the wine and food. I want the best wine and food, and today I want to treat Luo Daoyou well!" only to hear the city lord shout happily.

You must know that this alchemist is a scarce profession in the immortal cultivation world, and the reason why the sect is strong is very important is that it is due to the control of this alchemist. Now there are only ten alchemists in the entire Luo country, and I heard that the most powerful one is an intermediate alchemist, and that intermediate alchemist can refine a five-grade elixir. As for the other alchemists, they are all at the level of the third grade.

Although the young man in front of him was just a first-grade alchemist, in the eyes of the city lord, this was a treasure genius of alchemy. There are very few alchemists who can refine the True Yuan Pill. Looking at the many vassal states, there is absolutely no second one! This is why he tried his best to keep Luo Tian. Such a genius, of course, cannot fall into the hands of the split family. If Luo Tian doesn't agree to stay, he will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

This Lishui City Lord's name is Luo Yuanfeng, and I heard that he is the most powerful "dogleg" of the patriarch of the clan, so that he can become a city lord in the early stage of the Ning Yuan Realm. And because this is a border city, the cost of entering the city is also very high, which Luo Yuanfeng has made a lot of money.

Now that he has a rare talent like Luo Tian, he must be even more appreciated by his master. Luo Yuanfeng was so happy to drink that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. He intends to introduce Luo Tian to the Zong family, so that he will definitely get more appreciation from above.

Although Luo Tian agreed, he also agreed with him for three chapters. The first is that Luo Tian doesn't like to be disturbed, so the residence requires quiet. Second, Li Yuanfeng cannot restrict his freedom, but he can send people to follow. Third, Luo Tian could only refine two True Yuan Pills per month, and the other ordinary pills were as he pleased.

After Li Yuanfeng heard these conditions, he didn't feel embarrassed. After all, there's nothing wrong with these requests. Moreover, when alchemists refine pills, it really depends on their state. Even Luo Yuanfeng didn't know much about this, so although the third condition felt a little inappropriate, Li Yuanfeng also agreed. He didn't think about cultivating Luo Tian all the time, and when the time came, he would "dedicate" Luo Tian to the patriarch of the clan, and now Luo Tian has become a stepping stone for him to become an official and a knight.

Luo Tian was arranged to enter a small courtyard in the City Lord's Mansion. And because of his huge size, Bo Zai was also sent by the city lord to build a tall house in the courtyard suitable for him to rest. How could Luo Tian not know that these were the gentle strategies of the city lord Luo Yuanfeng. However, he also did not refuse to come, Luo Tian's current mentality is to take advantage of more advantages, anyway, he will have to leave here sooner or later!

In this way, Luo Tian lived in the city lord's mansion for three months, and Luo Tian was very "well-behaved" for these three months. In addition to studying alchemy in his own house every day, he cultivated the mental method. In his spare time, he would go around the city and buy some cultivation resources and other items.

Since coming to the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Tian can be regarded as worry-free, and the city lord Luo Yuanfeng will give Luo Tian 500 yuan stones every month as daily expenses. Of course, don't think that Luo Tian only makes money and doesn't work, he can earn more than 1,000 yuan stones by taking the two True Yuan Pills every month to auction.

In addition, Luo Tian also refined some other ordinary pills, and the Yuan Stones he earned could also be about five hundred. And the only benefit that Luo Tian got was that his alchemy skills were more proficient. Now he has begun to try to refine the second-grade elixir.

There are a lot of spiritual herbs in the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion has also set up a special elixir warehouse for this purpose. If Luo Tian wants to refine a certain elixir and lacks materials, he only needs to inform the city lord and go to the warehouse to get it. Therefore, Luo Tian can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. Not only has the technology of alchemy advanced by leaps and bounds, but even the cultivation realm is about to break through to the late stage of the True Yuan Realm.

During this period, Luo Tian also practiced the Five Elements Attack Technique and the Five Elements Defense Technique. Since the last time he was hunted down, Luo Tian began to learn from Nangong Birou and Qin Mubai. It's just that Yu'er disappeared later, and Luo Tian was not in the mood to continue cultivating, and now he is very idle here, but he has learned everything.

The Five Elements are divided into the Five Elements Attack and the Five Elements Defense. Speaking of which, the true qi has initially learned to transform into shape, and the true qi can also communicate with the heaven and earth vitality, making the power of attack or defense stronger, so that the purpose of attack and defense can be achieved.

Luo Tian belongs to the water spirit root of the five elements, so his five elements are all water spells. Luo Tian's attack technique is a water ball or water column. The defensive technique is to wrap oneself around oneself with a film of water to block attacks. Luo Tian and Qin Mubai had been on the road for three months, and they were already about to learn. So now, after another three months of cultivation, I have easily mastered the mysteries of the use of true qi.

The water balls formed by his water polo technique can be the size of a zhang in diameter, and the water column is also as thick as an arm. As for the defensive technique, Luo Tian estimated that no one below the late stage of the True Yuan Realm could easily break through his water system defense barrier. Now the overall strength of Luotian has been significantly improved!
