Chapter 256 Human Relationships

For this foundation-building celebration, Jiuxiao had obviously made a lot of preparations. The spirit wine had been aged for hundreds of years.

Naturally, the spiritual food was not bad, and there were even dishes made from the flesh and blood of monsters that were rarely seen in the outside world.

Jiuxiao is young and very handsome. He can talk eloquently among a group of foundation-building monks and handle the relationship very well.

Even though Li Qing and Ye Feng had low cultivation levels, he took care of them so as not to neglect them.

Of course, after achieving Foundation Establishment, the focus of his communication will naturally be on other comrades.

Li Qing didn't care much about this. Water flows to lower places and people go to higher places. This is human nature.

Soon, in the cave, another monk from the foundation-building stage came to visit.

This is a female nun. She has a graceful figure and an oval face, which is very soft and beautiful.

"I have gained some understanding of Taoism recently, and I was delayed for some time when I came out of seclusion. Unexpectedly, I almost missed Senior Brother Jiuxiao's foundation building celebration. I hope you don't blame me."

As soon as the voice came out, Li Qing felt a little familiar. He looked at Ye Feng, who was having a drink at the side, and saw him nodding.

Seeing the look in Ye Feng's eyes, Li Qing dared to confirm that this woman was also one of the members of the secret trade fair, named Lingying!

She actually built a foundation too!

At this moment, Li Qing only felt that the trade fair hosted by Taoist Qingyang was a bit remarkable. If he thought about it carefully, if the trade fair had not been disbanded, in a few more years, there would probably be many more members in the foundation building period.

Needless to mention Jiuxiao and Lingying, Ye Feng has almost accumulated enough contributions to the sect, so it would be no problem to replace them with a Foundation Building Pill.

If they can successfully build the foundation, they will have three members in the foundation building stage.

In addition, counting other people, there will probably be more foundation-building monks.

Looking at it this way, it is really not simple. If it develops, it will be a big force.

Li Qing has never asked Taoist Qingyang about the purpose of establishing the secret trade fair. He just assumed that there must be something big planned.

However, due to the Great War in the Immortal Realm and the collapse of Tianhefang City, this trade fair had to be cancelled.

At this time, Ling Ying, who was good at music, started to play a piece of music directly to express her apology for being late.

Listening to the melodious sound of the piano, everyone's mood became ethereal, and all the distracting thoughts and anxious emotions in their hearts disappeared.

Li Qing also closed his eyes slightly, while sipping the wine and enjoying the sound of the piano, which was like mountains and rivers, and his heart quickly became calm.

During this period of time, his state of mind was actually a little unstable. After hearing that his peers were promoted to the foundation building stage one after another, even Ye Feng, who had taken over his body and rebuilt his life, was about to overtake him.

However, there is still no hope for his Foundation Establishment Pill. No matter how long his life is, he can't help but feel anxious.

"call!"

After finishing the song, Li Qing slowly opened his eyes, and his mind calmed down, as calm as an ancient well.

His eyes became clear and clear, and he regained his previous state of mind that was indifferent to everything.

"Don't be anxious, it's not like your lifespan is about to end. The most important thing is to work steadily and take every step well!"

Li Qing muttered to himself, his expression calm and composed, no longer affected by the chattering and laughing Foundation Stage monks in the cave.

This foundation-building celebration lasted for three days. Ye Feng drank the last cup of Breitling Brew, and then said with firm eyes:

"Brother Li, I will start to retreat for a period of time after I return this time. I want to attack the ninth level of the weapon refining as soon as possible, and then plan to build the foundation."

Li Qing nodded and raised his glass to Ye Feng: "I'm waiting for your foundation celebration."

The foundation building celebration was coming to an end, and Jiuxiao's cave gradually became deserted.

Li Qing also stood up and prepared to leave with Taoist Qingyang.

However, Jiuxiao suddenly retained him and took out some bottles and jars.

"Fellow Daoist Erniu, these are the remaining Peiyuan Pills I have left. Now that I have entered the foundation building stage, these pills are useless to me. You can take them together."

Li Qing looked stunned, not understanding why Jiuxiao suddenly did this.

"How can this be done? No reward for no merit, how can I accept your elixir for free?"

"And if these Peiyuan Pills are sold to the outside world, they will be valuable spiritual stones. Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao, you make me feel a little scared."

However, Jiuxiao refused Li Qing's refusal and insisted on giving the elixir to Li Qing.

"Fellow Taoist Erniu, please don't refuse. This is just to repay your favor for repairing the spirit boat for me. In these years of war, I have relied on the spirit boat to survive several dangers."

Li Qing was slightly startled, and then he heard the subtext in the other party's words.

Once a favor is paid off, if there is no other friendship, the future relationship will basically fade away.

As long as Li Qing accepts these Peiyuan Pills, his relationship with Jiuxiao will basically come to an end.

Soon, Li Qing smiled lightly, nodded and said:

"Okay! Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful. Thank you fellow Taoist Jiuxiao for your kindness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing took away these bottles of Peiyuan Pills without hesitation, which were worth about six to seven hundred spirit stones. This favor was already extremely expensive.

Seeing Li Qing accept the Peiyuan Pill, Jiuxiao had a look of satisfaction on his face. He nodded and didn't want to keep Li Qing any longer.

"Farewell!"

"Go slowly, don't send me away!"

After walking out of the cave with the elixir, Li Qing got on Taoist Qingyang's spirit boat again and was filled with emotions.

Sitting on the spirit boat flying back to Qinghua Lake, Taoist Qingyang was driving the spirit boat in front as if he could see Li Qing's thoughts. He chuckled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao is like a fish in water in the Tianhe Sect. I heard that he seems to be competing for the elder's seat in the Tianhe Sect's Law Enforcement Hall."

After hearing this, Li Qing nodded as if understanding.

The elder of Tianhe Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, this is not something that ordinary people can sit on.

In this position, the most important thing is to be selfless.

"No wonder." Li Qing muttered to himself.

Jiuxiao was so anxious to repay the favor because she was worried that she would ask him to do something with this favor.

If one day someone offers a Foundation Establishment Pill in exchange for Li Qing's favor in order to get someone from Jiuxiao, should he be lenient?

In order to avoid all this, Jiuxiao simply sorted out these things first.

However, Li Qing didn't take it seriously. He didn't feel that the other party owed him any favors. The deal they made at the beginning was just an exchange of equal value.

As for using this fictitious favor to find help from the Jiuxiao Gang, this is even more impossible to talk about.

Li Qing shook his head, but touched his storage bag with satisfaction. No matter what, it was always good to get some valuable Peiyuan Pills.

After eight days, we returned to Qinghuatan again.

Li Qing's life suddenly became peaceful again. In these peaceful days, he practiced steadily, and his strength also increased bit by bit.

However, in the outer layer of Qinghua Pond, other casual cultivators in the Qi refining period also learned the identity of Li Qing's weapon refiner during this period.

Moreover, the news that Li Qing had met more than one master in the foundation building stage was known to everyone around him.

Therefore, in this peaceful day of ascetic cultivation, there are also some episodes.

Boom, boom, boom!

One afternoon at dusk, there was a knock on Li Qing's courtyard door.

Li Qing, who had just finished meditating and refining his Qi, frowned slightly, and his consciousness extended directly, taking in all the scenes outside the hospital in his mind.

After he found out who was knocking on the courtyard door, his brows couldn't help but frown even deeper.

If you count carefully, this is already the third time this month.

Outside the courtyard gate, a woman was holding a bag of spiritual rice in her hand, holding a little boy who was only seven or eight years old.

The mother and son had anxious expressions on their faces, and at the same time there was hope in their eyes, which was very complicated.

"well!"

Li Qing sighed, not wanting to receive the mother and son.

However, due to the opinions of other people around him, he couldn't leave these two people outside the courtyard.

Naturally, this woman did not come to Li Qing to take over, nor was she playing the game of "Where are we going, daddy?" Her purpose was purely to hope that her child would become Li Qing's teacher.

Zhi acridine~

The courtyard door opened, and the woman quickly let go of her child's hand.

The seven or eight-year-old boy was immediately ready to kneel down, ready to say some good words to get Li Qing to accept him as his disciple, but his movements were not as fast as Li Qing's. The latter waved his hand and directly helped him up.

"Hey, Xu Sanniang, you'd better go back. I won't teach my disciples. It will be bad if it delays your son's path." Li Qing said with a bitter smile.

From the beginning to the end, Li Qing had never had the idea of ​​accepting a disciple. For no other reason than he was worried that one day the disciple would cause a big disaster and implicate him as a master.

Besides, he really didn't have the energy to teach his disciples, and he didn't have enough time to practice every day.

Being poor means being alone, and he knows this very well.

Tears burst from the woman's eyes: "Master Li, the child's father died early, and my mother and I are alone. You can do a good job and teach him how to forge iron and make weapons with both hands, so that his future path will be smoother. "

The little boy pouted his mouth, with a gloomy look on his face, as if he could hang an oil bottle on it.

"Xu Sanniang, I'm afraid I'll mislead my disciples, so you'd better please come back." Li Qing's tone became firm.

However, Xu Sanniang held the door frame, and she still had something to say. She opened her mouth and said: "Master Li, I heard that you have some relationship with that senior Qingyang. Bu'er's spiritual root qualifications are not bad. He has three spiritual roots, and he has five elements." Huo, can you ask Senior Qingyang if he intends to accept him as his disciple?"

As soon as he said this, Li Qing almost rolled his eyes. Why was this request getting more and more outrageous?

Without agreeing to this request, Li Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Xu Sanniang, you overestimate me. How can I disturb Senior Qingyang's Qingxiu?"

After speaking, Li Qing shook his head and closed the courtyard door directly, not wanting to say anything more.

Xu Sanniang, carrying a bag of spiritual rice, stood outside the door and sighed one after another.

The little boy surnamed Cao on the side sobbed: "Mom, I don't want to be a disciple. I can also practice by myself."

"Shut up, mother, this is all for your own good. If you can master the art of cultivating immortals, it will be of great benefit to your future path!"

Xu Sanniang took the child back and taught her a lesson: "From tomorrow on, you will kneel in front of Master Li's door every morning, you know!"
