"Young Master Yuan, my lord invites you to go home. ”

Zhou Yuan opened the door and was a little surprised when he saw the old man in green shirt standing at the door: "Uncle Lin, is there something wrong with my father-in-law suddenly looking for me to go back?"

Zhou Yuan's father-in-law, that is, Li Qingmei's father, Li Ao, attaches great importance to his daughter and Zhou Yuan's cultivation, and the West Wind Spirit Academy is the holy place of Baicheng's cultivation, with his understanding of his father-in-law, he will never easily send someone to call him back.

"Hehe, although the old man didn't say it, the old slave estimated that it was probably related to the big event the day after tomorrow. Lin Bole said hehehe.

"The day after tomorrow, is it a big day, is the day after tomorrow an important day...... I see. ”

Zhou Yuan thought about it for a while, and then remembered.

The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the head of the Li family, that is, Zhou Yuan's nominal grandfather.

The Li family is a big family in Baicheng, and Zhou Yuan's father-in-law Li Ao is the second son of Li Hongdao, the head of the Li family, but in order to avoid suspicion, in order to show his eldest brother that he has no ambition for the position of the head of the family, he asked the family for a courtyard after he became an adult, and since then he has broken off some contact with the Li family.

Zhou Yuan and Li Qingmei both grew up in other houses since childhood, and they have never cared much about the affairs of the Li family.

It's just that for a major event like Li Hongdao's birthday, Li Ao naturally wants to take Zhou Yuan's brothers and sisters to participate in it to celebrate Li Hongdao's birthday.

"Good. Zhou Yuan casually agreed, went back to the room to change his clothes, and smiled at Lin Bo: "Let's go, Lin Bo." ”

"Yes, Young Master Yuan. After Zhou Yuan walked out of the door, Lin Bo glanced into the house before closing the door, but saw the stone tablet.

Scattered pieces of broken stones were scattered around the stone stele, and he was stunned on the spot: "Young Master, have you broken through to the late stage of Qi refining?"

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, and was about to answer, but Lin Bo suddenly raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Young master, you can't pay back so hard in the future, if you are short of money, just tell the master." The lord treats you as if it were his own, and he will not lose your expenses. ”

"Cultivation is the top priority, and an inferior test stele like this must not be used again, so the old slave will buy you a new one. ”

After speaking, he didn't give Zhou Yuan a chance to explain, so he left alone.

Zhou Yuan smiled bitterly, Lin Bo saw that the stele was cracked, and he took it for granted that there was a problem with the quality of the stele.

Half a month ago, Zhou Yuan was still a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator, and Lin Bo couldn't have imagined that Zhou Yuan had broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining.

This kind of cultivation speed can be called a demon.

What's more, even in the late stage of Qi refining, only a few cracks can be left on the stone stele, and if you want to beat the stone stele to cracks, it is not like something that the sixth level of Qi refining can do......

Because of the stone stele, Lin Bo insisted on staying and preparing cultivation materials for Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan could only return to the Li family's courtyard alone.

Outside the courtyard was a blue brick path, the gate was ajar, and to Zhou Yuan's surprise, there was a carriage wrapped in gorgeous silk parked at the entrance of the courtyard.

Although the father-in-law has a few shops to take care of, the father-in-law has always lived a simple life, and there are only a few cleaning subordinates in the courtyard except for Lin Bo, the housekeeper. For cultivators, the significance of the carriage is very small, and with the frugal living habits of the stepfather, he would definitely not buy such a luxurious carriage.

"A guest at home?" was puzzled, Zhou Yuan suddenly heard the voice of a middle-aged man in the house with a slow tone.

"Second brother, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't want to help you, but this matter, the eldest brother is not easy to open this mouth. ”

"The foundation building method is the foundation of the Li family, and the old man regards the inheritance of the exercises as more important than life. Even if he is a junior disciple of the Li family who is a little less talented, the old man refuses to teach the exercises, not to mention that it is not your own son, his surname is Zhou and not his surname is Li!"

"Big brother, I haven't begged you for anything since I was a child, but you must find a way to help with this favor. You also know Zhou Yuan's talent, he suffered such a big blow before, and now he has finally regained his strength, I can't let him cut off his cultivation path like this!" Li Ao's voice came out in an almost pleading voice.

"Second brother, anyway, that kid is not your biological son, and he has no blood relationship with you, you raised him so big, he has no less food and clothing, and he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous. Besides, he gave up on himself for three years, and his cultivation fell down, and he missed the most important time to lay the foundation. With his kind of heart, he is only now reinvigorated, and it is difficult to say whether he can build a foundation in this life, even if the old man is willing to pass on the foundation building exercises, it is probably a waste. Li Jie said with a sigh on his face, his words seemed to be expressing his dissatisfaction with Zhou Yuan, but what Zhou Yuan heard was his rejection of Li Ao, his own brother.

"Big brother, Zhou Yuan's kid is smart and talented, although he has been delayed for three years, but I believe that as long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely be able to fill the gap in these three years!" Li Ao heard the raw points in Li Jie's tone, and said with some eagerness: "By the way, eldest brother, your cultivation is profound, and it seems that you are going to improve again in the past two years, I see that eldest brother, you are not far from the late stage of foundation building, and I have also saved some money over the years, why don't I prepare an innate pill for my eldest brother, be prepared?"

Innate Dan!

Hearing these three words, Li Jie's eyes burst out with two fine lights.

As Li Ao said, he is preparing to impact the late stage of foundation building recently, the cultivation of the foundation building realm is more difficult than the qi refining realm, if there is no external force, the accumulation and perception of each layer can only rely on water grinding kung fu, and the innate pill is the best external force!

In fact, with the family foundation that Li Jie has accumulated over the years, it is far better than Li Ao, who is working hard outside, and his preparation is sufficient for this breakthrough in the later stage of foundation building.

But as Li Ao said, be prepared!

If you can have one more Innate Pill, it would be great.

Under the temptation of the Innate Pill, Li Jie's tone also became cordial, patted Li Ao on the shoulder and said: "Second brother, what are you talking about, we are brothers, if you can help, the eldest brother will definitely help, what are you doing with the Innate Pill?

"Big brother, don't worry, the matter of the Innate Pill is wrapped up in me, even if I sell this courtyard, I will also hand over the Innate Pill to you. ”

"Hahaha, second brother, you are serious, Xiantian Dan is just a trivial matter, how can the eldest brother bear to see that your family has no place to live? If there is really no place to live at that time, second brother, you can move back and live in my yard. As soon as he thought that an innate pill was about to arrive, Li Jie became more and more happy, patted his chest and said: "As for the inheritance of the exercises, the day after tomorrow is the old man's birthday, when the time comes, you prepare a generous gift, and I will say two good words to the old man, and this matter will not be far from ten." ”

"Thank you, big brother. ”

......

Zhou Yuan covered his figure by the corner of the wall, whether it was Li Jie, who left in a luxury carriage with a happy face, or Li Ao in the house, he didn't notice that a young man listened to all the conversations between the two.

Zhou Yuan felt that his heart had been touched in some way, very warm, but also very painful.
