Li Maolin was about to think about how to explain to Lu Ping. If Lu Ping was so angry that he deliberately lied about an unexpected elixir explosion during the alchemy meeting and that the Li family's alchemy meeting results would be zero, then there would really be no room for redemption.
Seeing Li Maolin's hesitant expression, Lu Ping didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, he admired Li Xiuzhu's courage, so he said with a smile: "Senior Yue only said that after he won, what would the juniors need and what would the Li family need, but he didn't say
If the junior wins by luck, what will happen to the seniors, and what will happen to the Shangguan family?"
Lu Ping's words seemed to make Yue Jiangrui and the head of the Shangguan family hear something ridiculous. They looked at each other and smiled. The head of the Shangguan family shook his head hypocritically and said with a regretful expression: "This little friend has a commendable ambition, but he still has to be a good person.
It’s better to be more modest and cautious, Senior Yue will treat it as a lesson to you this time, and you will definitely benefit a lot in the future.”
In his words, he seemed to have already concluded that Lu Ping would definitely lose, and did not take Lu Ping seriously at all.
Lu Ping was not angry, he still smiled and said: "Senior, you should tell me what to do if you lose!"
Shangguan Hao had long looked at Lu Ping with displeasure. Seeing him being so entangled, he immediately became furious and said: "Boy, you really think of yourself as a figure. You are just a little alchemy master. An ant-like figure actually dares to talk to Yue
Master bargains with my Shangguan family!"
Lu Ping said nothing when he heard this, but looked at Yue Jiangrui with a sneer, and Yue Jiangrui's face suddenly turned red.
Yue Jiangrui's original intention was just to intimidate Lu Ping. He believed that with his status as the number one alchemy master in the Northern Alliance, he would definitely make Lu Ping retreat in the face of difficulties, apologize to him and say some soft words. As long as he vents his heart.
His jealousy and vanity were satisfied, and he would not continue to embarrass Lu Ping.
However, what he didn't expect was that not only did Li Maolin's daughter accept the bet without knowing what was going on, but the young man in front of him also started to become ignorant. In the end, Shangguan Hao of the Shangguan family made him extremely angry.
Lu Ping's sneer was actually forcing him to express his position. Yue Jiangrui had no choice but to snort coldly and said: "Master of the Shangguan family, although I, Yue Jiangrui, have been helped by the Shangguan family many times, it would be better for Master Ling to speak less in the future. Could it be that he is an alchemist?"
Do you really think you are like an ant in the eyes of your Shangguan family?"
Shangguan Hao was dumbfounded. He didn't know why Senior Yue, who had always been so kind to him, suddenly turned against him and accused him.
Shangguan Hao does not understand, but it does not mean that his father is ignorant. Alchemists are a group of monks who cannot be judged by common sense. They can undermine each other, fight among themselves, and look down on others, but they never allow outsiders to say anything about the alchemists.
Not at all, otherwise they would attack in groups. One alchemist is not scary, but the network of relationships behind the alchemist is scary. And a group of alchemists can cause a commotion in the entire cultivation world.
The head of the Shangguan family turned to Shangguan Hao and cursed: "Shuzi, how can an alchemist be discussed by a younger generation like you? You can never say this again."
After a pause, as if he was worried, he added: "Even this thought is not allowed."
Shangguan Hao was scolded for no reason. Chi Lianying was already laughing heartlessly at the side. She didn't pay any attention to Shangguan Hao, the alchemy master. Even Li Xiuzhu, who has always had a ladylike demeanor, couldn't help but smile.
you.
This made Shangguan Hao beside him feel ashamed and angry, and felt ashamed.
At this time, he was in a dilemma and Lu Ping used words to force Yue Jiangrui. Yue Jiangrui did not expect that Lu Ping would be more extreme than him and really wanted to gamble with the alchemy furnace.
Yue Jiangrui didn't think about it for too long. He had no reason to lose to a young alchemist. He was the first to instigate this matter. Once he gave up, it would be very embarrassing for him.
What's more, at this time, monks from other forces began to pass by one after another. Unexpectedly, they encountered a good show just after arriving at Qianyuan Mountain. Representatives of various forces stopped and pointed at the monks on both sides, especially Yue Jiangrui.
He and Lu Ping have become the targets of criticism from all forces at this time. However, Yue Jiangrui's reputation is obviously not small. Almost all the representatives of the forces know him. Naturally, in the eyes of most people, Lu Ping is undoubtedly an insignificant person who overestimates his abilities.
A passionate young monk.
Therefore, Yue Jiangrui is not in a dilemma, but is riding a tiger with difficulty. Once he retreats today, there will be no place for him to stand in the East China Sea in the future.
"Okay, if I lose, I will let you smash my alchemy furnace, and I will no longer make alchemy for others!" Yue Jiangrui was heartbroken and said loudly, as if he was swearing something, his old face turned red from suppressing it.
Among the monks who were passing by to watch the fun, some who were worried about the chaos in the world shouted loudly, causing the monks who came up the mountain from other directions to look sideways.
Yue Jiangrui, known as "the first person under the alchemy master", made a "furnace-breaking agreement" with a little-known alchemist named Lu Jiu who represented the Li family of Sanjia Island.
The news instantly spread throughout the major forces on Qianyuan Mountain, and the name Lu Jiu was known to the people of the Northern Alliance for the first time.
Lu Ping smiled. He didn't have the slightest awareness that an alchemist would take the furnace-smashing agreement seriously. Instead, he turned to the head of the Shangguan family who was a little dazed because the development of the situation was beyond expectations, and said, "What did the head of the Shangguan family say?"
The head of the Shangguan family has an arrow on the string now and has no choice but to take action. If the Shangguan family gains a foothold in the Northern League in the future, today's bet cannot be rejected.
The head of the Shangguan family is a man who can afford to let go, not to mention the bet between Shangguan and the Li family is really nothing compared to the alchemist's "promise to smash the furnace".
"The Secret Realm of the Fall is within the control of my Shangguan family. There is a small vein of high-grade spiritual material lava stone. If my Shangguan family wins this time, this vein will be used as a betrothal gift for Xiuzhu's niece. If my Shangguan family loses,
, this spiritual mineral vein naturally belongs to the Li family."
Seeing the master of the Shangguan family being so happy, the bystanders all cheered.
Shangguan Hao was very anxious. How could anyone do such a loss-making business? He couldn't help but said: "Father, this..."
"Shut up!" the head of the Shangguan family shouted in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Qi, the Li family's alchemy master is too arrogant. That Yue Jiangrui is known as the number one alchemy master. How can an alchemy master who jumped out of nowhere be able to compare with him? This time the alchemy meeting will look like Li
The family is too big."
Wang Yishan looked at Li Maolin, his daughter and Lu Ping in the distance with some gloating.
"Humph, you can still laugh? This Shangguan family has no good intentions at all. The Shangguan family is in great power, and promotion to a medium-sized force is a foregone conclusion. The Li family is in decline, and there are no descendants. Only Li Xiuzhu can still support the situation. Once
The Li family was defeated and Li Xiuzhu became the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family. With the support of the Shangguan family, what advantages can your Wang family and Zhang family take?"
"Then why does Li Maolin look so reluctant? Isn't this beneficial to the Li family?" Wang Yishan asked somewhat sarcastically.
Senior Brother Qi didn't bother to explain, but looked to the other side. How could this alchemy meeting be simple? The Li family was just an interlude.
