Therefore, many of the former servants were dismissed, so the entire Hou Mansion became empty, quiet and deserted.
Wang Li sat at the main seat and drank tea with Uncle Xu.
Uncle Xu made the tea himself, but he was obviously not good at it, so the taste was much worse than what Wang Li had drunk before.
But that's not a problem, Wang Li doesn't like drinking tea either.
"Uncle Xu, do you know anything about Shushan?"
The expressionless, angular middle-aged man in front of him shook his head gently: "Sir, the master of the family didn't say much. However, Shushan is located in Qingwei Realm, which is the place where Taoist sects originated. Immortal sects gather together, and there are many practitioners.
"
Wang Li was a little disappointed, and then said: "My grandfather is an elder, so he is also a practitioner?"
"yes."
"It was the same before?"
Uncle Xu paused slightly and nodded stiffly.
Wang Li suddenly frowned.
Seeing this, Uncle Xu hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised, sir. The practice of the old master and the master of the family is different from others. I can't teach you the master. It's all because I don't feel comfortable with the technique. It's not a deliberate concealment."
"My father too?" Wang Li was even more surprised.
Uncle Xu nodded: "Yes, the master of the family will tell the young master the details in the future. I hope the young master will not worry about it."
Wang Li shook his head slightly, feeling that the tea in his mouth was even harder to swallow. He put down the tea cup and tapped the table with his index finger, as if in deep thought.
It wasn't that he felt uncomfortable because he felt that his father and grandfather were hiding something, but that he suddenly discovered that he didn't have as clear an understanding of his identity as he originally thought.
However, I am afraid that neither my grandfather nor my father, who has been away from home for ten years, would have thought that their offspring would die of illness one night.
It's one thing to feel uncomfortable with the exercise, but it's another to get timely treatment.
Since I knew that Bailong Temple could take care of King Carp's body, why didn't I make preparations early and wait until I was fourteen?
Is it true that a thirteen-year-old body cannot adapt to Master Jingyuan’s care?
Thinking of the fact that the little king carp was taking medicine every day at home before, without interruption, could there be some other explanation for this?
There are too many problems and too few conditions. Wang Li has no choice but to return to the present moment.
"Uncle Xu, you too." This sentence was not a question, but a statement. Otherwise, the father would not have left his only son and set off first.
Uncle Xu nodded in affirmation.
Wang Li stared at him again and again, but found no trace of spiritual energy entering his body.
When Uncle Xu saw this, the next moment, a dark red halo suddenly released from his body. It clung to the surface of his body and looked like a raging fire. It immediately made him look heroic and terrifying.
"Sir, this is a method of qi and blood cultivation. It mainly tempers the physical body, enhances the power of qi and blood, and also introduces evil spirits into the body to break through the orifices. It is quite different from Taoist or Buddhist practices."
Wang Li, however, roughly understood that this should be the so-called path of body cultivation, and he would carry forward the method of body training even more.
Uncle Xu continued: "Young Master, Qi and Blood cultivation puts the body first. You were already weak in Qi and were unable to replenish your body. According to the research of the old master and the head of the family, you cannot get started at all. If you do it forcefully, I am afraid it will directly harm you."
Take your life."
"I understand, Uncle Xu doesn't need to explain anymore." Wang Li raised his hand and pressed it down gently. Even though he had many doubts, it was useless to think deeply at this moment. It would be better to wait until the family met to talk.
Wang Li thought for a while and then asked: "How far is the Shushan Region?"
"I'm afraid it's hundreds of thousands of miles away, but there is a teleportation array built in the capital of the country. If you go through the teleportation array, you only have to travel more than three thousand miles in the middle."
"I've heard of the teleportation array, but don't you have any magic weapon to use on your way?"
An expression finally appeared on Uncle Xu's face, and he said with a slight embarrassment: "Qi and blood cultivation, without magic power, cannot control magic weapons."
Wang Li clicked his tongue in amazement, "How does a Qi and Blood practitioner compare with a Qi Refining practitioner?"
"It's incomparable." Uncle Xu simply shook his head, "If there is still a chance in the body-forging realm or the qi-refining realm, but if it is in the Dao-based realm, you will definitely lose."
Wang Li frowned: "Then why do you still need to practice Qi and blood?"
Uncle Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, there are no mortals in this world. There are only a handful of people who can truly sense spiritual energy and incorporate it into their bodies."
This is not an explanation at all, and it has a meaning of "why not eat minced meat".
"Besides, qi and blood cultivation is not without merit. If you can push qi and blood cultivation to a certain stage and then switch to qi refining practice, you can get twice the result with half the effort and make progress quickly. According to my subordinates' speculation, the old family master should use qi and blood to enter the refining practice.
Qi, and in the following ten years he was promoted to the elder of Shushan Region."
His words made Wang Li think of the body training realm again.
This approach sounds like an alternative way of exercising. First, the body is polished to a certain level, and then turned to practice Qi. This is similar to laying a stronger foundation. No wonder the subsequent progress is rapid.
.
But looking back, Qi and Blood cultivation should be very difficult. People who take this path can push Qi and Blood to the stage where they can transform into Qi refining. The time required is not short.
At the same time, the other person who directly took the route of physical exercise and Qi training was probably already far ahead.
When compared in this way, the advantages of Qi and Blood cultivation seem to have weakened a lot.
Each has its own merits, and it's hard to distinguish between the good and the bad.
At this point, Wang Li put aside his doubts about Qi and Blood cultivation.
"Uncle Xu, when should we set off?"
"My subordinates have already made arrangements in advance. It's your decision."
"Then...the day after tomorrow! I still have some things to think about."
Wang Li stepped into the Qi Refining Realm, realized the meaning of the sword, and condensed the sword Qi. He needed to compare it with the sword formula, so as not to know what to do when he was about to use it;
Secondly, before he parted ways with Monk Qingchi in the ruined temple, the booklet the other party threw to him recorded a lot of spells. I can’t say how powerful they were, but most of them were practical spells. In the Qi Refining Realm, the aura is owned by oneself.
It is what ordinary people call "mana", which can be used to cast spells. Wang Li is very interested in this.
Finally, after he broke through the Qi Refining Realm, his talent of "speaking as he spoke", which he originally regarded as false, also changed. In the end, the infliction of various states before could only be directed at himself, but now he can "speak with a single word"
, long sword unsheathed", this is obviously worth his time and effort to ponder.
Thinking about it this way, one day seems not enough.
Just when he was about to delay for a few days, Uncle Xu, who had already stood up to say goodbye and walked to the door, suddenly stopped and turned around with a slight hesitation.
Wang Li looked over: "Uncle Xu, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Yes, young master!" He said in agreement, but Uncle Xu still hesitated after that.
Finally, under Wang Li's gaze, he lowered his head and said, "Sir, after the head of the family resigned and left his home, the Chen family came to visit you."
Wang Li was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect which Chen family it was.
It wasn't until Uncle Xu reached into his arms and took out a short post with a bright red background, gold wire surrounding it, and gold powder fonts that he felt it was very festive when he looked at it, that he suddenly realized it.
"Is this...a marriage certificate?"
Uncle Xu didn't even raise his head: "Yes! Young Master, Chen Hou said that the young lady of the Chen family was destined to be immortal and was taken into the family by the immortal master. The mortal marriage was deemed to be broken, so he returned the marriage certificate. The subordinates knew that they could not make the decision.
, unable to tell the whereabouts of the master of the family, and unable to make a decision on behalf of the young master, he temporarily rejected Chen Hou. Unexpectedly, he came to the door every day, and even abandoned the marriage certificate. The subordinates could only keep it for the time being! Please make a clear decision, young master!"
Wang Li's eyes were bright and his face seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He stood up and stepped forward to take the engagement letter.
This calligraphy is both joyful and luxurious.
But that's not what Wang Li is paying attention to.
As he watched, he said, "You mean, my engagement has been annulled now?"
When Uncle Xu heard this, he didn't respond, but just bent his waist deeper.
After a while, he didn't hear Wang Li's response again, and immediately said: "Master, if you agree, my subordinates will immediately attack the Chenhou Mansion and swear to kill him and make him stand up..."
"Hey!" Wang Li interrupted hastily, "Uncle Xu, don't worry, I don't have any resentment. It's just the first time I encountered something like this and I felt a little surprised. Since he wants to break off the engagement, he can just break off the engagement. It doesn't matter."
After saying that, Wang Li turned around and walked back to his small courtyard, fanning the marriage certificate in his hand, the smile on his face did not diminish, and the novelty in his eyes did not fade away.
This was not a big deal. Although the Miss Chen family that he had glimpsed in his memory was indeed pretty, she was actually one year younger than him. How could Wang Li really have any thoughts and obsessions?
Besides, now that even the family has moved, there is no need to talk about the reputation of the Hou Mansion.
Besides.
Most of the people whose engagements were broken off were the protagonists.
Having passively enjoyed the treatment of the protagonist, Wang Li didn't feel that he had anything to be angry about. After all, he had a modern independent and free love spirit, and he didn't value the marriage contract ordered by his parents that much. This chapter has been completed!
