Chapter 212: Suddenly
It stands to reason that being accepted as a disciple by a cultivator in the Dan stage is definitely a great thing that a low-level immortal cultivator can't dream of. But after Han Li heard this, he was shocked and subconsciously sensed that something was wrong.
With his qualifications and exercises, there would never be such a good thing that fell on his head, and as for his words that he had made great contributions to Huang Feng Valley and wanted to reward him, Han Li didn't believe it at all. If this patriarch wins the bet, on a whim, he accepts him as a hero, but there is still some sincerity. But obviously he lost a mess, and he still had to take him as an apprentice, which is intriguing!
As Han Li swirled countless thoughts, Master Li became displeased.
After he said the words of accepting Han Li as a disciple, he thought that the other party would definitely be ecstatic, and he would immediately agree. But who knew that Han Li actually stood in place, with a look of shock on his face, and did not immediately say anything, which made him slightly annoyed.
However, on the surface, Master Li naturally had to maintain the demeanor of Master Grandpa, so he said lightly:
"Han Li, if you don't want to worship me as a teacher, just say it explicitly, and I won't force you! I can give you a few more magic weapons as compensation!"
As soon as Han Li heard this, he knew that what the other party said was beautiful, but he was definitely dissatisfied in his heart. What would be the consequences of offending this Patriarch, Han Li didn't need to think deeply, he understood it very well! Moreover, it was too unreasonable for a disciple of the Qi Refining Stage to refuse to accept an apprentice from a Dan Stage cultivator. I'm afraid that after refusing, it will cause more trouble.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth. No matter what the other party wants to do to him, deal with the current level first. Anyway, looking at this posture, I just don't agree. I have no good fruit to eat.
"Of course the disciple is happy to be able to worship under the sect of the Ancestor, this is the honor of the disciple! The disciple was just so happy just now that he forgot to speak, and he asked the Ancestor to forgive him!" Han Li's face welled up with a large flush, pretending to have just recovered from the excitement. Said in a tone of impatience.
Afterwards, Han Li was very interested, bowed a few times to Master Li, and immediately bowed to his master.
From today onwards, you will be my Li Huayuan's disciple, and this blue light sword weapon should be used as a gift for the teacher. With a smile on his face, Li Huayuan stretched out his hand to help Han Li up, and handed him a long blue knife, which was definitely a top-notch magic weapon with a sparkling spirit.
Han Li solemnly took the long knife with both hands and bowed again to show respect. Only then did he seem to stand up overjoyed.
And the other disciples who were stunned around had their eyes blazing. The eyes that looked at Han Li were extremely strange, wishing that the person who went to receive the magic weapon was himself, not Han Li, who was already unpleasant.
Although Han Li didn't know what others were thinking, the hot gazes that fell on him made him guess everything, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh in his heart!
If possible. He still doesn't have a crush on other people, not his own unlucky ghost! You know, the lessons brought by the previous master, Doctor Mo, are still fresh in his memory! Now it's good that there is another master with more ability, and Han Li is really speechless!
"After a while, if the foundation is successfully established, I will take you to me and accept you as an official disciple. It doesn't matter if the foundation is not built, I will also give you some pointers on the exercises. Master Li commanded at Han Li.
"Yes, master!" Han Li naturally had no other opinions. Very honestly admitted.
"Alright, it's not too early. Let's go back to Huangfeng Valley!" Master Li looked at the sky and said.
Next, everyone rode on Master Li's silver-armored horned python again, and after flying for a few days, they returned to Huangfeng Valley.
As soon as he entered the valley, Li Huayuan, the ancestor of Li, took two stewards and went to the council hall. Others dispersed and returned to their lodgings, waiting for the reward to be given a few days later.
......
In a thatched hut in the Hundred Medicine Garden of Huangfeng Valley, the little old man Ma Shibo's eyes widened, staring at Han Li as if he had seen a ghost, and he kept muttering:
"This is impossible, not only did you not die, but you also picked up a leak in the forbidden land, handed over more than 20 elixirs at once, and was accepted as a registered disciple by Uncle Li!"
"Yes, Uncle Ma, I can't be regarded as a profound source of blessing, and my cultivation is amazing!" Han Li sat across from the little old man and said with a smile on his face, as if he was very proud.
When the little old man heard Han Li's words, his face returned to normal, but he put on a strange look and looked at Han Li directly, looking at Han Li's heart, he didn't know what the other party meant.
"Han boy, you have indeed gained a lot from this trip to the forbidden land, which is far beyond my expectations!" the little old man sighed and said.
"I didn't expect it myself!" Han Li said casually
"But, do you know the real intention of Uncle Li to accept you as a registered disciple?"
The little old man's next sentence with a slight look of regret made Han Li stunned
Then he was overjoyed. But he still resisted the impulse in his heart, pretending to ~ said:
"Uncle Ma, is there any other reason for Master Li to accept disciples?"
"Uncle Han, hehe, since Senior Brother Han has already worshiped under Uncle Li's door, you can just call me Senior Brother Ma in the future, and Uncle Ma won't dare to respond anymore!" the little old man shook his head lightly and said slowly.
"Ahem, why does Uncle Ma make fun of his nephew, who doesn't know that the immortal cultivation world is based on the practice of seniority. As long as he has not entered the foundation building period for a day, Ma Shibo is naturally still an elder below. Han Li said very sincerely, and immediately poured a cup of medicinal flower tea for the little old man and handed it to the other party.
"Yes, yes! You can be taught! It seems that you haven't been carried away by these things, so I'll tell you about it in advance. Actually, I won't say it, you'll find out in three or four days. The little old man nodded with satisfaction and said lightly.
Han Li was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he listened intently to the other party's words below. You must know that he has always been worried about Master Li's sudden acceptance of him as an apprentice, and if he could have known the inside story earlier, he would naturally not let it go.
"What reward do you think you can get for handing in so many elixirs this time?" the little old man suddenly asked.
"Can you exchange it for two Tsukidans! I inquired in advance, anyone who handed in about ten elixirs could be exchanged for one Tsukidan. Han Li knew that since the other party was asking like this, there must be a purpose, so he replied honestly.
"Hmph, when the reward comes down in a few days, you will only have one Tsukidan's blessing, and if you have two, don't dream!" said the little old man with a slight sneer.
"What? How could this be! Could it be that someone else could not deduct the reward?" Han Li almost jumped up, his expression of disbelief.
"No one dares to do this! The reward is only you, and everyone else should get the full amount. Otherwise, who will participate in the Blood Trial next time!" the little old man pouted.
"Could it be because of Master Li?" Han Li tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying with a serious expression.
"You're not too stupid to find an idea so quickly. It's true that Uncle Li accepted you as an apprentice that you're like this!" the little old man's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he nodded.
"There is an unwritten rule in this sect, where there is a clear master-apprentice relationship, the master has the right to extract half of the apprentice's tribute to the master, as a thank you gift, of course, this is only once, not an example. And the elixir you collected in the forbidden land can be regarded as some kind of tribute to the master. So according to my estimate, the reason why Uncle Li is so enthusiastic about accepting you as an apprentice is that he has taken a fancy to your dozen or so thanksgiving gifts. The elixir is only half of it, and your reward is naturally only half, so don't expect two more in Zhuji Dan. The little old man carefully explained to Han Li.
Han Li frowned, but he didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction, he just lowered his head and was silent, which made the little old man a little surprised and surprised. He naturally didn't know that instead of being angry now, Han Li let out a sigh of relief and let go of the heart he had been carrying.
This new master had originally taken a fancy to his elixir, which was really unexpected, but it also made Han Li feel at ease. A pill of Zhuji Dan is really nothing to him who is about to open the furnace for alchemy! As long as he can succeed in alchemy, he will naturally not put a single pill in his eyes.
The little old man didn't know Han Li's mentality, he saw that Han Li had not made a sound, and he thought that Han Li was holding back his sulkness, but he was just good at controlling it and didn't reveal it. He chuckled lightly twice and comforted Han Li:
"Although there is one less Tsukidan, in exchange for being accepted as a registered disciple by Uncle Li, this is not bad, and it is not a loss. You must know that your qualifications are really not very good, and even if you take two pills of Tsukidan, there is still little hope of succeeding in building a foundation. It's better to exchange one grain for Uncle Li's big backer, so that even if you are still in the Qi refining period in the future, basically no one in this sect will dare to bully you, you must know that although Uncle Li doesn't really accept you as an apprentice, but after all, you still have his brand, and ordinary disciples and stewards will easily trouble you. And as far as I know, Uncle Li is very protective!"
Han Li was a little moved when he heard this, since the old man gave him two bottles of pills when he went to the forbidden land, he had already seen that the other party was a cold-hearted person, and he was really a good person!
Han Li thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to act as if he was barely moved by the little old man's words, and finally spoke with a few wry smiles, and said a few casual words to him.
Seeing that Han Li seemed to have recovered from the blow, this Master Ma was very happy in his heart, and he soon took his leave and left. The Hundred Medicine Garden was naturally handed over to Han Li again.
