Zou Chengwei did not expect that he would suddenly gain a disciple. In addition, due to the shortage of materials, the price of Yangyuan Pill had recently increased, so the money he originally prepared was not enough.
"Manager Liu, you and I are old friends. We really can't make enough money this month. Could you please give me a discount?" Zou Chengwei rubbed his hands with a smile on his face. "If that doesn't work, Zou will write an IOU first.
I must make up for it every month.”
Manager Liu sneered and said sideways, "Old friendship? A few days ago, that's not what you said when you pointed at me and scolded me because of a little conflict between the children, right? I'm sorry, Tianshu Pavilion transactions always involve two parties.
Qing, if you don’t have enough money, don’t buy it. After all, you are also a teacher at the Imperial Martial Academy. You can’t afford this little money, so it’s not embarrassing!”
Li Shitong walked to the side and glanced at Manager Liu, who looked unhappy, "Xiao Liu, what happened?"
Manager Liu changed his arrogance and quickly bowed and saluted, "Greetings to Master Li! This trivial matter is not worthy of your personal attention."
"Didn't you hear clearly? I'm asking you what happened!" Li Shitong's eyes were cold and stern. He had determined that the person who caught the attention of the vice president was Zou Chengwei in front of him. How dare you be rude to him... Hum, Lu Ke
It’s so narrow!
Manager Liu's face was slightly stiff. He secretly asked what happened to this man today and quickly explained the matter clearly.
Li Shitong thought for a while and smiled, "Isn't that right, Mr. Zou? Since you are a regular customer of Tianshu Pavilion, Li will decide whether to give you a discount or you should go and get the elixir at the original agreed price."
Zou Chengwei was overjoyed and said, "Thank you Master Li!" He did not expect to have a relationship with an alchemist. After thanking him repeatedly, he left overjoyed.
Li Shitong waved goodbye, turned around, glanced at Manager Liu, and snorted, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Don't do anything yet!"
Someone came over and whispered, "What's going on with Old Liu? Have you offended Master Li?"
"No!" Manager Liu looked unhappy and said gloomily, "Who knows what kind of gunpowder he takes? But my Liu family also has an alchemist. Although not as good as him, I can't be easily bullied!"
Here, Li Shitong has returned and bowed, "Dear guest, the matter has been resolved." He explained briefly.
Luo Guan nodded, "Well, that's it." He waved his hand, "Go back, there's no need to send it away."
Turn around and leave.
Looking at his back, Li Shitong was very sure that there must be some kind of relationship between Zou Chengwei and His Excellency Da Keqing, but this also made him a little confused. With such a perfect relationship, how could he be treated like this by Xiao Liu?
The character makes things difficult?
At this moment, he saw Vice President Liehuo coming in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face, "Xiao Li, where is the guest of honor on New Year's Eve?"
After leaving Tianshu Pavilion, Luo Guan returned to the newly purchased courtyard and put the wooden boxes storing the components of the spirit gathering array Open it and find out the formation instructions. The content is very simple. Just place the components in order, adjust the orientation and angle, and the formation will be automatically activated.
After studying for a while, Luo Guan started to arrange it. Half an hour later, with a soft "buzz" sound, the spirit gathering array was successfully activated.
Its function is to converge the spiritual power of heaven and earth, so that the concentration of spiritual power within the coverage area is greatly increased, and it has good defense and warning effects. When the spiritual power spring is opened, the amazing spiritual power released will be gathered in the small courtyard
Within the range, it is not perceived by the outside world.
The Black Turtle's voice sounded, "You must be careful when opening the spiritual power spring. A slight mistake will cause a spiritual power explosion. We need to make some preparations for the master. It will take about three or two days to complete." Its tone was a little helpless, not that it had not thought of this before.
The point is that Luo Guan's efficiency in solving the spirit gathering circle was too fast.
Luo Guan nodded, "Teacher, please." The spiritual power of heaven and earth in the front courtyard was stronger than outside. Now with the opening of the spirit gathering circle, the comfortable feeling was even more obvious. He was already looking forward to the spiritual power spring.
The situation after being opened.
Choosing a room at random, Luo Guan began to practice, and the night passed quickly. The next day, he got up, took a shower, had breakfast nearby, and rushed to the Imperial Martial Academy.
Outside the main gate of Emperor Wu, Wang Sun finally waited for Luo Guan and hurriedly greeted him, "Junior Brother Luo, why didn't you come back yesterday? Emperor Wu consumes a lot of money, and there will be more places to spend money in the future. Save what you can, and don't do it again.
I went to stay in an inn, that place was expensive and unhygienic..."
Luo Guan had a headache from talking about it and interrupted him, "Senior Brother Wang, are you here just to wait for me?"
"Ang, today the teacher distributed cultivation elixirs and specifically asked to take you with him. It's almost time, let's go quickly, just in time to show you the way."
Wang and Sun led the way, Luo Guan remained calm, but he had already thought of what happened in Tianshu Pavilion yesterday, and was secretly surprised in his heart.
Soon, the two came to the teaching and residential area, a remote courtyard.
"Junior Brother Luo, this is Master Zou's residence. If you encounter something in the future, you can come here to find him... Well, Master Zou usually doesn't have many classes and doesn't socialize with others. You will know this later." Wang Sun was obviously a little confused.
He hesitated to speak and coughed slightly, "We should have arrived by now. We all got to know the other students under Master Zou's sect today."
He pushed the door open and walked in, raising his voice and saying, "Master Zou, I'm bringing Junior Brother Luo here."
Swish——
A few eyes fell.
At the same time, Luo Guan saw several people in the courtyard clearly. The most eye-catching one was a tall man with dark skin and a fierce look on his face.
An evil look.
Then, there was a young man who looked like a thin monkey, his eyes were twitching, and he looked like he had a quick mind.
Finally, there is the girl in red standing next to Zou Chengwei, looking at her with a frown. She is about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is an out-and-out beauty. Her facial features are somewhat similar to Zou Chengwei's.
Luo Guan withdrew his gaze and stepped forward to salute, "Meet Master Zou!"
Zou Chengwei nodded, "Everyone is here, let's start." He looked indifferent and took out the jade bottle from his arms, "Wang Sun, you come first."
He poured out two Yuan Yang Pills and put them in his hand, "Although I have said it many times, I still remind you that learning the sword requires talent and cannot be forced." After saying that, Wang Sun didn't have to let him.
Express your stance, or you may have already given up hope of convincing him and wave him away.
The second person to come forward was the thin monkey, with a playful and smiling face, "Thank you Master Zou for the medicine, you are the best!"
"Tao Ye, can you be a little more formal? There is a new junior brother here today!" Zou Chengwei cursed with a smile and gave him two pills.
The iron tower with a ferocious face looked like a young man. When he smiled, his power was instantly broken, and even gave people a very cute feeling. He touched his head naively and cupped his big hands like cattail leaf fans, "Master Zou, I will practice hard and strive to break through as soon as possible."
Thousand Mountains Realm!”
Zou Chengwei had a gentle expression, nodded and said, "Zhang Tie, I believe you can do it, but there is no need to rush the cultivation matter. Let's take our time."
When Zhang Tie stepped back, Zou Shanshan raised her head slightly and said, "Dad, I got the elixirs awarded by the academy this month. You can keep the two Yuan Yang elixirs."
Zou Chengwei smiled happily, "It's up to you to get it, but you have to take what dad gives you, so just take it."
Then, he looked at Luo Guan, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.
"Master Zou!"
Zou Chengwei pondered for a while and said slowly, "The reason why people practice cultivation is to change their destiny against the will of heaven. This is an extremely difficult path, and they insist on taking it even though they know it is impossible. Therefore, temporary difficulties and delays do not mean that
What, as long as you work hard and persist, there will eventually be a glimmer of hope."
"Luo Guan, can you understand what I'm saying?"
Luo Guan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Master Zou. I'll note it down."
"Very good." Zou Chengwei nodded, "No matter what the reason is, since you become my disciple, I will treat you equally. This is your elixir for this month." He waved his hand, trying his best to hide the pain in his eyes, "You guys
Now that we’re all acquainted, let’s go our separate ways.”
Everyone said yes, bowed and left.
After leaving the small courtyard, Wang Sun smiled and said, "This is Junior Brother Luo, we are all from the same sect." , we must support each other in the future.”
Tao Ye smiled and said, "You know, you know, Junior Brother Luo Guan is the one who caused the vision of swords soaring into the sky. Who doesn't know about Emperor Wu nowadays?" As he said this, he looked at Luo Guan's expression with his eyes.
Zou Shanshan frowned and didn't like Tao Ya's method, but she didn't say anything and was waiting for Luo Guan's reaction. What surprised her was that Luo Guan's face was calm and there was no obvious emotional change at all due to Tao Ya's words.
.
It’s not that he is being forbearing, because his eyes don’t deceive, he is really calm!
And this kind of calmness has only been seen by Zou Shanshan in a very few people. They are all the top students in the Imperial Martial Arts. They are above everyone else and are destined to become a strong person. Because they are powerful, they can ignore it.
Some sounds from the outside world.
Zhang Tie patted Tao Ye and said hard, making him grin, "Skinny monkey, you can't talk to junior brother like this, he will feel uncomfortable." As he said that, he took out a candy from his arms and smiled brightly, "Luo
Junior Brother Guan, I’ll give you candy, if anyone wants to bully you in the future, just tell Senior Brother!”
He slapped his chest hard.
Tao Ye muttered something and looked at Luo Guan in surprise, "Xiao Luo, you can do it. You are actually recognized by Dasha so quickly. From today on, I will also recognize you as my junior brother. It's delicious."
Remember to call me Senior Brother when you drink."
After saying that, he casually cupped his hands and said, "There is still a round today, so let's dodge first!"
With a "swish", Tao Ye disappeared.
Zhang Tie put the candy into Luo Guan's hand and said loudly, "Skinny monkey, wait for me!"
Bang bang bang——
Amid a tremor of the earth, he ran after him.
Zou Shanshan's expression was calm, "Senior Brother Wang Sun, I'm going to practice sword practice." She was about to leave but stopped again, her face darkened.
I saw several Imperial Martial Arts students approaching not far away. When Liu Yue saw Zou Shanshan, he immediately laughed out loud, "I said, are they here to get the pills again? Tsk tsk, you are also Imperial Martial Arts students after all.
If you only rely on these pills to practice every month, it will be really miserable if word spreads!"
Several people burst into laughter.
Zou Shanshan's face became even more ugly, "Liu Yue, what are you doing here?"
Liu Yue smiled brightly, "Oh, it's nothing. Just yesterday after my father came home from Tianshu Pavilion, he told me that he met your father to buy Yangyuan Pills. He originally ordered eight pills, but he had to buy two more at the last minute.
I didn’t bring enough money, so I begged my father to let him pay on credit.”
"My father really couldn't stand his pleading. After all, he almost knelt down, so he had to reluctantly agree, so he gave him a discount..." She changed the subject, with a face full of ridicule, "Well, this is it.
