Lu Ping was a little confused. The two heads of the Shangguan family and the Li family were involved in the secret fight, but they also involved him. Mr. Yue was also surprised that for some unknown reason, he directly targeted Lu Ping.
The head of the Shangguan family did not express any reaction to Yue Jiangrui's words, but Li Maolin was shocked. Although this Mr. Yue was extremely skilled in alchemy, he had taken the wrong path in cultivation in his early years and had no hope of breaking through the alchemy stage in the future.
, and his alchemy skills are limited by his cultivation. Although he is extremely proficient in refining the elixirs in the half-step alchemy stage, and even the elixir-making rate of the alchemy master is inferior to his, he has never been able to successfully refine it.
An elixir in the elixir-forging stage will always miss out on the title of alchemy master.
In despair, Yue Jiangrui easily developed a quirk, that is, he never had a good look towards young monks and young alchemy masters, and even went so far as to sneer at them, and was even more so towards those monks who were known as geniuses.
It is extreme jealousy and hatred, as if he wants to blame these talented monks for his inability to break through the alchemy stage and become an alchemy master. He is even more keen on destroying the self-confidence and self-esteem of these monks.
The alchemist has his own methods. While the head of the Shangguan family was still trying to figure out who, Lu Ping or Chi Lianying, was the alchemy master invited by the Li family this time, Yue Jiangrui had already discovered the identity of the alchemist Lu Ping.
Alchemists who are qualified to participate in the medium-sized power alchemy competition can at least be relatively skilled in refining elixirs in the later stages of hemolysis. If they want not to be ridiculed, they must successfully refine elixirs that have passed the half-step forging elixir stage. In Yue Jiangrui's opinion,
, Lu Ping is only thirty years old at most. Not only has his cultivation reached the peak of hemolysis, but his alchemy skills are also so high. After advancing to the alchemy stage in the future, it is almost certain that he will become an alchemy master. How can this not make him jealous?
, so after discovering the conversation between the head of the Shangguan family and Li Maolin's smile, he immediately vented his jealousy on Lu Ping.
What Li Maolin is afraid of now is that Lu Ping is young and energetic and cannot stand Yue Jiangrui's verbal provocation. Once he falls into the trap, with Yue Jiangrui's decades of experience and methods in refining half-step elixirs, Lu Ping will naturally not be his opponent.
Not only could Lu Ping fail and be humiliated, but it would even affect Lu Ping's performance at the alchemy meeting.
Li Maolin deliberately reminded or even stopped Lu Ping, but the communication between alchemists was obviously not something that other monks could get involved at will, otherwise he would inevitably offend one of them. Seeing Yue Jiangrui looking at him with a half-smiling expression, Li Maolin sighed in his heart, regardless of the two parties.
People are good at alchemy. Yue Jiangrui's huge network of alchemy skills in the Northern Alliance for decades cannot be compared to Lu Ping. Even several alchemy masters in the Northern Alliance highly praise his alchemy skills.
, the Li family really has no deterrent power in front of him.
Li Maolin finally chose to remain silent. When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he was a little dissatisfied with Yue Jiangrui's reliance on his elders. He wanted to argue, but seeing his father's behavior of staying out of the matter, Li Xiuzhu was always a good girl with no independent opinions. Coupled with Lu Ping's unreasonable behavior yesterday, he felt in his heart
When he was angry, he stood still and didn't move.
Chi Lianying looked at Lu Ping's "chichi" smile, with an expression of wanting to see how you respond. Lu Ping has always been puzzled. How can this expression appear so harmonious and natural on a woman like Chi Lianying?
In other words, how could such an expression appear on a woman's face.
"Those who are half buried in the earth can indeed scold the juniors for being inexperienced," Lu Ping thought for a moment, nodded again, and then added emphatically: "And it's only natural!"
This not only cursed Yue Jiangrui's early death, but also hit his sore spot: at such an old age, there is no hope of achieving the golden elixir. No matter how superb your alchemy skills are, the master of alchemy is just a person to you.
I won't be able to share your dream with you.
Li Maolin secretly thought, "That's bad." Shangguan and his son were already gloating over their misfortune and had offended this man. Unless you become a master of alchemy, just wait for this man to put on your shoes.
"Okay, okay, hehe!" Yue Jiangrui smiled angrily, pointed at Lu Ping and Li Maolin, and said: "There are always many inequalities in this world. At a young age, regardless of cultivation and alchemy skills, he has already reached the level to be able to participate in the Northern League.
The standard of the Dan Society is that you have a personality that is the only one in heaven and earth. You use making fun of others to express yourself, and you are extremely sarcastic. I just don’t believe in this evil, and I will definitely offend a proud man like you.
, are your Li family trying to stop me this time?"
The last words were said to Li Maolin.
Yue Jiangrui's words can be said to be unreasonable. Lu Ping is neither "self-respecting" nor "showing off". It is "sarcastic" because Yue Jiangrui had to provoke him in advance.
Lu Ping did not expect that he would meet a rogue who obviously turned other people's truth upside down, but this was obviously not the time to reason.
Li Maolin is in an extremely difficult situation now. If he blocks this matter for Lu Ping, the Li family will undoubtedly arouse the jealousy of an alchemist with a small temperament. If he does not stop it, the elixir will be around the corner. Once Lu Ping loses, it will affect the future.
The Danhui competition would be bad. Not only would the Li family be reduced to a small power, but most of the first-level profits of the nameless island would also be divided up by the Zhang and Wang families.
Lu Ping said nothing, just to see what step Li Maolin could do for him.
Li Maolin pondered for a long time, and then said: "Mr. Yue, the Alchemy Competition is coming soon. If you two are willing to compete, you will have plenty of time to do it after the Dan Competition. What do you think?"
Li Maolin finally decided to leave Lu Ping behind, at least after the Dan Meeting.
Lu Ping narrowed his eyes and said nothing. Chi Lianying sighed slightly beside Lu Ping, but Li Xiuzhu's face turned a little red.
"That's not necessary," Yue Jiangrui sneered: "Isn't this alchemy meeting a ready opportunity? I heard that in addition to your Li family having to deal with the rise and fall of power, this alchemy meeting will also determine the level of your Zhang and Li family.
I think we can add another layer of stakes to our respective shares of the income from the Wuming Island Spirit Mine. If this guy ranks ahead of me in the competition among one hundred and twenty-six alchemists, I will have nothing to say.
If you are ranked behind me, apologize to me in public, lose your alchemy furnace to me, and admit that your alchemy skills are far inferior to me. Your Li family will also marry your daughter to Shangguan's family as your daughter-in-law. What do you think?
?”
The alchemy furnace is the foundation of an alchemist. Losing the alchemy furnace is the greatest shame for an alchemist. An alchemist who loses the alchemy furnace cannot make alchemy for others until he can take all this from the person who defeated him.
return.
If the most serious hatred in the cultivation world is to prevent people from becoming enlightened, then destroying people's alchemy furnaces is the second hatred of alchemists. This does not give Lu Ping any room. For alchemists, it is simply a situation of no end.
Li Maolin said solemnly: "Mr. Yue's conditions..."
"It's a deal!"
When Li Maolin heard this, he turned his head fiercely. His daughter, who had obeyed him, actually agreed on his behalf. Li Maolin didn't react for a moment, but he heard the head of the Shangguan family laughed "haha" and said: "My virtuous niece is really heroic, don't worry.
, I will never treat you badly as the daughter-in-law of my Shangguan family. Even if the Li family is reduced to a small power, with the help of my Shangguan family, the Li family will still be as stable as Mount Tai on Sanjia Island. Hum, there is a member of his Zhang family on Qianyuan Mountain.
A monk who is practicing in the late stage of hemolysis, my Shangguan family also has an uncle who worships the ancestor of Dharma on Qianyuan Mountain, and the Zhang family may not dare to mess with our Shangguan family."
Shangguan Hao on the side looked at Li Xiuzhu with great joy. In his opinion, this was proof of Li Xiuzhu's secret promise to him. The fundamental reason why he and Li Xiuzhu could not become Taoist couples was because of Li Maolin's obstruction. Otherwise, Li Xiuzhu would not be able to become a Taoist couple.
Nor would he agree to Senior Yue’s bet even though he knew he would lose.
This time, not only does Sister Xiuzhu want to become his Taoist companion, but the Shangguan family also has a legitimate reason to intervene in the affairs of Sanjia Island. Among the descendants of the Li family, there is only one person like Li Xiuzhu, and the others are not of concern. It can be said that there is no successor.
people.
Once Li Xiuzhu becomes the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family, in the future, as the power of the Shangguan family increases, the Li family will slowly become a vassal of the Shangguan family, and the cultivation resources controlled by the Li family will be used by the Shangguan family, as well as Lingbei.
The share of the spiritual mineral vein coveted by the major forces in the alliance.
Not mentioning Shangguan Hao's new plan, Li Maolin said urgently: "Zhu'er, you, why are you doing this? If my Li family is reduced to a small power, there is no such thing as a marriage."
Li Xiuzhu looked calm and said: "Father, my daughter just has confidence in Brother Lu."
Li Maolin was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that he was just thinking about the family's gains and losses, but he forgot that Lu Ping was the key to the Li family's alchemy meeting this time. Li Maolin blindly avoided conflicts, but decided that Lu Ping must be at the alchemy meeting.
Definitely lose.
But at this moment, Shangguan Hao, who just felt superior and good, seemed to have been poured cold water on him from beginning to end. Looking at Lu Ping, his eyes gradually became sharper, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Lu Ping felt so keenly that Shangguan Hao's aura changed. Lu Pingbian noticed it and glanced at Shangguan Hao. Lu Ping didn't take it to heart at all.
Lu Pingde's glance made Shangguan Hao feel a sense of being ignored. A sweet boy like him, who has been the center of everyone since he was a child, has always been the object of attention. For a person like him, neglect
It means contempt.
A minor cultivator in the hemolytic stage who dares to look down upon a high-level cultivator in the alchemy stage is simply seeking death!

The second update is here. I walked the streets for a day and was exhausted. I only ate one meal in the evening. I took a break first and added a chapter in the early morning. Tomorrow is the last day of promotion. I will write more and more in the autumn of sleep!
There was still a gap of 500 words, so I will fill it in. Please recommend it for collection!
