Li Erdan followed Ma Duantian and walked straight out of the presbytery hall without a hitch. As soon as he walked out, he was immediately surrounded by a group of students.
"Master Li, are you okay?"
"Master Li, they didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Looking at the students with concerned faces, Li Erdan felt a little moved in his heart. His colleagues also felt that the profession of being a mentor was extremely sacred.
"Dear classmates, thank you for your concern. It was just a misunderstanding that they brought me here. They did not make things difficult for me. Thank you for your concern.
But today’s class ends here. Classes will continue at the same time tomorrow. Anyone who comes to class today will not have to pay tuition tomorrow.”
Seeing that nothing happened to Li Erdan, all the students greeted Li Erdan and left.
"Boy, I've done you such a big favor, old man, do you want to express my gratitude to me?"
Ma Duantian's voice came to his ears.
"Senior, don't worry. If senior doesn't mind, I'm going to go to senior to beg for mercy."
Li Erdan replied with a smile.
Li Erdan still respected Ma Juantian, an old man, who was dedicated to studying the art of casting. Since the Ta clan had such a high status, he gave up his status to learn from one of his juniors.
Ma Duantian, a member of the Zaita tribe who owns their own courtyard house, invited Li Erdan to their home. Ma Hong, a little beauty, showed a rare image of a good girl and personally served tea and water to Li Erdan and Ma Duantian.
Sitting in the living room, Ma Duantian couldn't wait for a long time. He could still wait for Li Erdan to take a sip of tea, and then started to ask Li Erdan some questions about casting techniques.
In Li Erdan's class these days, although Ma Juantian had transformed his appearance, he was afraid that Li Erdan would expose his identity and did not dare to ask too profound questions about casting techniques.
If Ma Duantian knew that Li Erdan recognized him from the first day he went to class with Li Erdan, he would definitely not be so shy.
What was taught in class was basically the basic knowledge of foundry. At most, occasionally, Ma Hong would ask some questions related to the second-grade foundry.
At this time, Ma Duantian no longer had those worries, and the questions he asked must be much more profound.
Regarding Ma Duantian's problem, Li Erdan didn't have anything to hide, and it could be said that he knew everything.
Ma Hong, on the other hand, stayed with the two of them silently, occasionally filling them with tea.
Because the issues involved were too profound, and they were all about third-level and fourth-level casting techniques, Ma Hong could hardly understand most of them, but occasionally he could understand something.
At the end of the day, Ma Hong simply found paper and pen. Regardless of whether he could understand it or not, as long as Ma Duantian asked, Ma Hong would write down all Li Erdan's answers with his pen.
Ma Duantian also highly praised his granddaughter's approach. In the end, Ma Duantian also started taking notes.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, at night, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the room.
"Get out! Get out as far as you want. From now on, no one should disturb me."
Being disturbed from studying, Ma Duantian became extremely angry and cursed when he opened his mouth.
"That Elder Ma, I'm here to deliver the thousand-year elixir."
Outside the room, Zhang Zhanpeng said with a sad face.
Forty-five thousand-year-old elixirs almost bankrupted the Zhang Zhanpeng family.
Although Zhang Zhanpeng, as a foundry master, has been raking in finances over the years, he still couldn't come up with so many thousand-year-old elixirs at once. In the end, there was really no other way, so he opened up the family's treasure house and took Zhang Zhanpeng out.
The family spent all their savings over the past several hundred years and borrowed a lot from here and there to finally collect the forty-five elixirs to compensate Li Erdan.
"Humph! It turns out you are the loser. You can just leave by leaving the elixir at the door."
Ma Duantian snorted impatiently.
"puff!"
Zhang Zhanpeng, with a bitter look on his face, almost spit out blood.
I spent all my money to send so many elixirs, but they were sent away in despair without being able to see their families. Is there such a useless thing in the world?
However, Zhang Zhanpeng also had the foresight and knew that Ma Duantian was in a bad mood right now, so he must not get into trouble.
Zhang Zhanpeng's delivery of the elixir only disturbed a few people for a minute or two, and did not affect Li Erdan's continued lecture to Ma Duantian.
Time passed by so little by little.
"Dong dong dong..." The melodious sound of bells suddenly came to mind in his ears. Just after answering a question from Ma Duantian, Li Erdan couldn't help but glance at the sky outside.
The bell is rung every morning when the Tower of Babel opens.
Have you been talking all night?
Li Erdan murmured in his heart.
"Senior, Junior Sister Ma Hong, look, we have been talking about this all night, otherwise we would just stop here today."
Li Erdan said with a smile.
"Time flies so fast?
This has been all night?
Little friend Erdan, if you have something to do, you can do your own thing. I have benefited a lot from this night, and luckily I have written it down in my notes. I will go and study it now."
After Ma Duantian finished speaking, he moved and disappeared in a flash.
This old man can run very fast.
Li Erdan smiled bitterly.
"Li Erdan, don't blame my grandpa. My grandpa is just such a person. Once he starts studying casting techniques, he goes crazy.
I am here to thank you very much on behalf of my grandfather."
Ma Hong's face turned red and she bowed respectfully to Li Erdan.
"You're welcome, Junior Sister Ma Hong. Senior Ma and I are communicating together and making progress together. I can't say who is thanking whom, so I'll leave first."
Li Erdan replied.
"Li Erdan, you are going to the Tongtian Tower to practice, so let's go together. I will also go to the Tongtian Tower to practice."
After hearing what Ma Hong said, Li Erdan did not refuse and walked out of the room.
As soon as the two people left the room, a hunchbacked old man dressed as a servant came out from the outside. The old man held a cloth bag in his hand. When he saw Li Erdan and Li Erdan coming out, a very kind smile appeared on his face.
"Li Shaoxia, Zhang Zhanpeng brought this to you last night. The owner asked me to give it to you."
said the hunchbacked old man.
"Thank you, old man."
Taking the cloth bag handed over by the old man, Li Erdan entered the cloth bag with his spiritual thoughts.
Duckweed, gallbladder, soil essence leaf, ruthless flower... Inside the bag, I saw the precious thousand-year-old elixirs. Many elixirs were not in Li Erdan's hands now.
The Ta clan is located in Manghuang Mountain, another ancient ruin that is as famous as Medicine Mountain. Many of the precious elixirs here are specialties of Manghuang Mountain and are not available in the outside world. Li Erdan has been looking for many medicinal materials but there is no news.
Thinking of unintentionally trying to blackmail Zhang Zhanpeng, he gathered so many precious elixirs for himself in one go.
Unable to conceal his excitement, Li Erdan put all these elixirs into the system warehouse with a thought.
"Thank you, old man."
After bowing to the hunchbacked old man, Li Erdan was ready to go to Babel Tower with Ma Hong.
Before the two of them took two steps, they heard the low murmur of the hunchbacked old man behind them.
"He is such a polite and good boy. When the time comes, he and Miss Xiaohong are so talented and beautiful, they will be a perfect match."
Li Erdan didn't think anything of what the hunchbacked old man said?
But Ma Hong's pretty face turned red and she looked even more charming.
