Chapter Seventy-Four: A Test of Character
The cave of the Sea Snake Dao people.
"Hahahaha...... Shui Dao Xian's nephew, your performance in the wrestling battle, the old man has already heard that you and Shui Long are the pillars of our Li family. Li Tianwu, who was dressed in black, looked excited, and personally took Li Shuidao's hand and came to the hall.
"Shibo, I came today to give this thing to the family." Li Shuidao handed over a receipt slip with both hands.
This receipt shows when, where, and who gave the Li family 350 meritorious deeds.
The receipt is stamped with the seal of the auditorium and the signature of the person in charge.
From the perspective of craftsmanship alone, it is difficult to counterfeit this item.
Even if it can really be faked, it is useless, after all, the Hall of Merit has a document backup, and the two phases corroborate, it is impossible to fake it at all.
"Li Shuilong came to me five days ago, where have you been in the past five days?" Li Tianwu asked with concern.
"Something is delayed."
"It's okay, it's good to come."
"You and Li Shuilong have commendable courage, they dared to participate in the sect trial at a young age, and they also raised the prestige of my Li family in the card wrestling battle. Even the old man feels honored! Li Tianwu praised again.
"For the sake of the family, this is what should be done." Li Shuidao said with a smile.
"You have given the family a long face, and the family can't treat you badly, just ask me if you have any requirements." Li Tianwu said heroically.
"I want to learn alchemy, I wonder if Tianwu Shibo has the pills of Changchun Dan, Xingqi Pill and Yuheng Dan here?" Li Shuidao asked with his fists clenched.
Li Tianwu was silent for a moment when he heard this, frowned slightly, and thought for a moment before he said: "Shui Dao, you are interested in learning alchemy, the family should naturally fully support it, and the Dan prescription you want can naturally be given to you." ”
"Shuilan!" Li Tianwu shouted loudly.
Li Shuilan walked into the hall.
"Master, senior brother." Li Shuilan saluted Li Tianwu and Li Shuidao respectively.
Li Shuilan is Li Tianwu's apprentice, and she is also a member of the Li family, and even entered the hall with Li Shuidao and studied in the cultivation hall.
"You go and get three Dan Fang for your senior brother...... After Li Tianwu explained, Li Shuilan took three Dan Fang.
"Thank you Shibo, thank you Sister Shuilan." Li Shuidao gratefully took the Dan Fang and thanked him.
Li Tianwu's face was a little embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "Although the family supports you to learn alchemy, you also know that the family is very difficult, and I am afraid that you will not be able to come up with extra herbs for you to practice at present." ”
He looked at Li Shui with some embarrassment: "This ...... You only have a pill, how can you practice alchemy? ”
Li Shuidao smiled faintly, he knew that the family would definitely not be willing to take out real money for his own alchemy.
He and Li Shuilong's gang will inevitably participate in the trials of the sect all year round, and the knife will be hung around their necks to sell their lives, and they may die one day.
With such a low survival rate, how could the family be willing to invest a lot of money?
Unless he has participated in the trials of the sect many times, the big waves have washed the sand, and the cultivation is close to breaking through the threshold of the Rong Ling Realm, I am afraid that the family will be willing to invest a lot of money for the time being.
"Don't worry, I understand the family's difficulties. You don't need to worry about the spiritual grass, this poisonous dragon mountain is full of spiritual grass, I can collect it by myself and use it to practice alchemy. Li Shuidao explained with a smile.
Those few spirit grasses picked by yourself are enough for alchemy?
Li Tianwu's face was full of disbelief, but since Li Shuidao said so, he couldn't say anything more.
"Very well, you have such determination, uncle is proud of you."
"Then I'll take my leave." Li Shuidao got up and was about to leave.
"You're on foot?"
"Exactly."
"I'll let Shui Lan drive the white crane to give you a ride." Li Tianwu hurriedly said.
"Don't bother Sister Shuilan, I'll walk back, this way is just the right place to collect herbs for alchemy." Li Shuidao explained with a smile.
"Then you walk slowly, come and sit when you have time."
"Shibo is gracious."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Li Shuidao left the cave house alone and walked to the cave mansion of the golden-faced Langjun.
Walking in Poison Dragon Ridge is actually very safe, because the masters are flying in the sky.
Mixed to the point that he can only walk on foot, nine times out of ten is not Li Shuidao's opponent.
Li Shuidao walks briskly on the mountain trail, and by the way, he can indeed pick a little herb.
It's just that there are not many herbs, if you really want to practice alchemy, the four bazaars in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the Poison Dragon Ridge, as well as the Fang Market located in the center, have to go, scavenge the periwinkle grass, and refine the periwinkle pill first.
After refining the Changchun Pill, and then refining the Qi Pill, step by step......
Suddenly.
Li Shuidao stopped, he turned his head to look into the air, and a black crow suddenly flew above his head.
The crow's feathers were dark, its body exuded a faint demonic aura, its eyes were red, and it made a croaking sound.
It hovered around Li Shuidao's head, as if sending him some kind of message.
Li Shuidao narrowed his eyes and stared closely at the crow's movements.
After circling twice, the crow suddenly turned and flew deep into a dense forest nearby.
Li Shuidao's mind moved, and he followed the crow into the dense forest.
He stepped cautiously into the forest, listening to the sounds around him.
The breeze rustles through the leaves, reflecting the dappled light and shadows of the sun shining on the ground through the treetops.
There was a slight creak from the dead leaves under your feet......
Soon, Li Shuidao saw a woman in a power suit.
She wore a hat that covered most of her face.
The woman's posture is graceful, like a budding lotus flower, beautiful and moving.
Li Shuidao immediately recognized the person in front of him, and was overjoyed, so he hurriedly approached the woman's side, and respectfully clasped his fists and said, "Senior sister summoned me, I don't know what to see?" ”
There was a hint of respect in his voice, showing his respect for this senior sister.
Lan Huaying raised her face, revealing her delicate face.
She looked at Li Shuidao with deep eyes, and her voice was pleasant: "Give me the iron hook on your body." ”
There was a hint of seriousness in her words.
Li Shuidao's heart jumped, and he quickly took off the iron hook from his waist and presented it to Lan Huaying with both hands.
Lan Huaying took the iron hook handed by Li Shuidao, only to see the mana twisted, I don't know what spell was cast, the iron hook trembled slightly, and made a low echo.
Although the voice is like a ghost crying like a wolf, if you listen carefully, you can hear the conversation between two people.
“…… Shui Dao Xian, your performance in the wrestling battle, the old man has already heard that you and Shui Long are the pillars of our Li family......"
"Shibo, I came today to give this thing to the family."
"Three hundred and fifty merits, nephew, you have done the family a great favor......"
"It is my duty to serve my family......"
"Li Shuilong came to me five days ago, where have you been in the past five days?"
"Something is delayed."
"It's okay, it's good to come."
……
Li Shuidao looked at Lan Huaying, and a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes. He had already guessed that there was probably something wrong with this iron hook, but he didn't expect it to be a voice recorder.
It's just that the voice is too distorted, as if two ghosts are talking.
Surveillance is still reliable with modern technology.
Lan Huaying played the dialogue between Li Shuidao and Li Tianwu in front of Li Shuidao.
"Very good, you didn't reveal to the family elders that you had joined the Law Enforcement Hall, let alone mention me in the slightest, even if you disappeared for five days, you prevaricated, which shows that you are a person who keeps your word." Lan Huaying nodded with satisfaction, Li Shuidao successfully passed the test set by the family, and her recognition of Li Shuidao doubled in her heart.
