Chapter 165: Someone Above Me
"Senior, it's not very moral for you to peek like this."
Lu Li floated into the wing and sat down at the table, frowning.
"Hehehe."
The gray-robed old man smiled and drank a cup of tea: "This old man has a great cultivation base, his morals are immoral, and he can't restrain him at all. Besides, you and that little girl are friends, love and kill each other, much better than that drama! Hahaha! , the old man looks very addicted!"
Lu Li: "..."
squeak.
At this moment, Jin Que stuck out half of his head from his sleeve robe, peeked at the gray-robed old man, and quickly retracted.
"You little sword spirit, you don't know the rules, and you steal the old man's sword pills as soon as you come. If it wasn't for your natural raising, the old man would have caught you and eaten you."
The gray-robed old man glanced at it and said lightly.
squeak.
Jin Que heard the sound, called out, carefully got out of his sleeve robe, stood on the table, and bowed his hands like a human, said in a milky voice: "Senior is magnanimous, and this junior is very grateful."
"Forget it, the old man is too lazy to care about this little thing like you."
The gray-robed old man waved his hand.
"Thank you senior."
Seeing this, Lu Li cupped his hands, and then directly took out a storage ring: "Senior, this is the thing of the Seven Killing Tiger Demon, how many spirit stones can you sell?"
"That's right! And this golden pill!"
With that said, he took out the golden pill the size of a goose egg and put it on the table.
"This storage ring..."
The gray-robed old man picked up the storage ring and glanced at it, and said a number very simply: "Twenty high-grade spirit stones."
so little?
There are two lower-grade magic weapons here!
Lu Li frowned, "What about this golden pill?"
"The old man advises you not to sell this golden pill,
If you use it yourself to make golden pills and peraks to blow up people, you can sometimes save lives. "
The gray-robed old man put away the storage ring and threw it away.
There were twenty more top-grade spirit stones that were as white as jade on the table.
"Hehe, Lingshi!"
Jin Que's black sesame-sized eyes lit up, jumped out, and brought back the boxy, high-grade spirit stones about the size of a mahjong tile and stacked them in front of Lu Li.
Lu Li frowned.
These 20 yuan, plus the 100 yuan from Keng Hualiu just now, add up to only 130 high-grade spirit stones.
so poor!
"Senior, I want to ask you to help me calculate a chance, how many spirit stones do I need?"
Lu Li asked tentatively.
"Where do you want to count your golden elixir chance?"
The gray-robed old man took a sip of tea, his cloudy eyes seemed to see through everything.
"Yes."
Lu Li nodded.
It's really not the way to slam around like a blind fly!
Coupled with the Taoist master, if he runs around, the danger is even greater, so he simply comes to buy a chance, first promote Jindan, and then strengthen his own strength.
"The old man can help you figure out your golden pill chance, and it's still free, and you won't be charged a single spiritual stone."
At this moment, the gray-robed old man put down the teacup in his hand and smiled mysteriously.
free?
Lu Li's face changed slightly.
Free is always the most expensive!
"Senior, can I buy it directly with spirit stones?" Lu Li asked in awe.
"You might as well listen to the old man first. Anyway, there are people from the Ten Thousand Island Alliance outside, who are searching for you everywhere. Your reward has already mentioned a thousand high-grade spirit stones."
The gray-robed old man laughed.
"..."
Lu Li raised his brows: "Senior, don't you want to exchange me for the spirit stone?"
"Of course not. The old man is famous for his honesty and trustworthiness, so how could he sell your news to the people of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, how could he put a teleportation spell on you, and how could he directly after you were captured? How can I send you back to the black market for auction? No, no."
The gray-robed old man shook his head again and again, smiling like an old fox.
Lu Li's face darkened.
really!
Ginger is still old and spicy, and people are still old and thick-skinned!
He had never seen such a brazen person!
"...Senior, please tell me."
Lu Li regretted running back to the black market.
"You should know about the giant eagle island master's martial arts contest, right?" the gray-robed old man asked.
"I know. It's still my second senior sister who is recruiting relatives."
Lu Li nodded.
"Then do you know the entanglement of interests behind this?"
The gray-robed old man took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Please advise."
Lu Li bowed his hands.
Looking down, Jin Que didn't know where to go.
"There are three major forces overseas, Wandao Alliance, Giant Eagle Island, and Tianlong Island. Correspondingly are Wandao Commercial Bank, Giant Eagle Commercial Bank, and Tianlong Commercial Bank. Among them, Wandao Commercial Bank is on the side of the Xianmeng, Tianlong The business is on the side of the Demon Gate."
The gray-robed old man spoke in a eloquent manner.
"Then Giant Eagle Island doesn't stand on both sides?"
Lu Li guessed.
"You guessed it right. Giant Eagle Island is swaying. Immortal Alliance, Demon Gate, Abyss Monster Race, whoever does business, has both sides, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems to be the first of the three overseas forces. It's not a big deal. Yes. However, a year ago, the war between the Immortals and Demons broke out, and the Giant Eagle Island had an ambiguous attitude. This side signed a contract with the Immortal Alliance, and the other side secretly sold it to the Demon Sect's cultivation resources, and the Immortal Alliance was naturally unwilling."
Speaking of this, the gray-robed old man sneered.
Lu Li understood.
The situation overseas is turbulent, all of which are the aftermath of the battle between the Immortals and Demons.
There was a ten-year foreplay in the Immortal Demon War, and there was no direct battle because of the swaying forces of Giant Eagle Island.
Now, the Xianmeng began to force people to stand in line.
"What does this have to do with recruiting relatives by martial arts?"
Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"The island owner of Giant Eagle Island is reluctant to bear the spirit stone of Bai Huahua. That old fox doesn't want to offend the Demon Sect, let alone the Immortal Alliance. So, he is going to have a martial arts competition. Whoever wins will be his relative. Immortal If the alliance wins, he will naturally stand on the side of the Xianmeng. If the Demon Sect wins, he can continue to do the Demon Sect's business. It's really cunning."
The gray-robed old man sneered.
"I see!"
Lu Li was completely enlightened.
In a contest to recruit relatives, the Xianmeng wins and stands in the Xianmeng.
If the Demon Gate wins, then the Demon Gate is the in-laws of Giant Eagle Island.
Giant Eagle Island helped the relatives and did not help, and continued to do the magic door business, earning rushing spirit stones.
Even if the Xianmeng presses the question, the Giant Eagle Island can say that your Xianmeng is not strong enough, and directly puts the responsibility on the Xianmeng.
Xianmeng also had nothing to say.
This trick is indeed a bit cunning.
"And then again, what does this have to do with the black market?"
Lu Li frowned and asked.
"The black market is similar to Giant Eagle Island. You can do any business, and you won't refuse. If Giant Eagle Island stands on the side of the Xianmeng, then the Xianmeng will start to clean up the black market. After the black market is cleared, the old man can't lie down. To make a lot of money, do you think it matters?"
The gray-robed old man took a sip of the tea ceremony.
"That senior means..."
Lu Li vaguely guessed something.
"You go to Giant Eagle Island, compete on the stage, suppress the Immortal Alliance, and marry your second senior sister. In this way, the strength gap between the Immortals and Demons will not be too big, and the old man can still do business for a few years and save a coffin book."
The gray-robed old man sighed softly.
"This……"
Lu Li looked embarrassed: "Senior, this is the second battlefield opened by the Immortal Alliance. It is a stage for Jindan. I'm a little foundation-building cultivator, I'm afraid I can't help much."
Obviously, Falling Immortal Valley is the first battlefield of the Immortal Demon War, the foundation building war.
This giant eagle island competition is the battlefield of the fairy and the devil fighting the golden pill.
Gold Medal War!
Some Jindan old monsters have practiced for hundreds of years, and their strength is very strong. If he plays with this strength, it is estimated that he will be beaten by some Jindan old monsters.
"Don't worry, there is an age limit for recruiting relatives, and only Jindan cultivators under the age of 50 are allowed to play. Once you break through Jindan, you will definitely win."
The gray-robed old man has a clear mind.
"This……"
The embarrassed look on Lu Li's face increased by three points.
"Boy, where is the chance of the golden pill that the old man told you for free, you can still hold a beautiful woman, and even become the son-in-law of the island owner of Giant Eagle Island, but you still don't want it?"
The gray-robed old man frowned.
"Junior is not unwilling, but it is a battle at the Jindan level. If you are a little careless, you will fall on the spot. Such a dangerous thing... Of course you have to pay more!"
Lu Li gave up his embarrassment and suddenly laughed.
"Add money?"
The gray-robed old man was stunned on the spot, then squinted at Lu Li, and took a sip of tea leisurely: "Boy, can you not see the situation clearly? To add money, you must have the capital to add money. Add money?"
"Why?"
Lu Li smiled proudly:
"It's very simple, just rely on me! Noodles! Yes! People!"
