It stands to reason that to be accepted as a disciple by a monk in the alchemy stage is definitely a great thing that a low-level immortal cultivator would never dream of. But after hearing this, Han Li was shocked.
, subconsciously aware of something wrong.
With his qualifications and skills, there is no way such a good thing would happen to him. As for his words that he would be rewarded for his great contributions to Huang Maple Valley, Han Li didn't believe it at all. If this Patriarch wins
Bet, on a whim, I accepted him as a hero, and I was somewhat sincere. But I obviously lost completely, and I still accepted him as my disciple. This is intriguing!
While Han Li was spinning countless thoughts, Master Li became unhappy.
After he said the words about accepting Han Li as his disciple, he thought that the other party would be extremely happy and would immediately agree. But who knew that Han Li stood there blankly, with a look of astonishment on his face and did not express his stance immediately.
It made him slightly angry.
But on the surface, Master Li naturally wanted to maintain his master's demeanor, so he said calmly:
"Han Li, if you don't want to worship me as your teacher, just say it clearly and I won't force you! I can give you several other magic weapons as compensation!"
As soon as Han Li heard this, he knew that what the other party said was beautiful, but he must be dissatisfied in his heart. Han Li didn't need to think deeply about the consequences of offending this patriarch, and he understood it very well! And he was such a Qi refining stager.
The disciple actually refused to be accepted as a disciple by a monk in the Dan-Jie stage. This was too unreasonable. I'm afraid that if he refused, he would cause even greater trouble.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth. No matter what the other party's intentions were for him, he had to deal with the current situation first. Anyway, if he refused to agree with this attitude, he would never get any good results.
"Of course I am happy to be able to become my master's disciple. This is my honor! I was so happy just now that I forgot to speak. Please forgive me, master!" Han Li blushed heavily on his face and pretended to be so.
He just recovered from the excitement and said in an impatient tone.
Afterwards, Han Li was very understanding and kowtowed to Master Li a few times and immediately performed the ceremony of apprenticeship.
"Very good! From today on, you are my disciple, Li Huayuan, and this Biguang Sword Artifact will be treated as a meeting gift as a master." Li Huayuan smiled broadly, stretched out his hand to help Han Li, and handed one to him.
The green long sword, with its sparkling light, is definitely a top-notch magic weapon.
Han Li solemnly took the sword with both hands, kowtowed once more to show respect, and then stood up as if he was overjoyed.
The other disciples around were stunned, their eyes were burning, and they looked at Han Li with strange expressions, wishing that they were the ones to pick up the magic weapon, instead of Han Li, who had already disliked him.
Although Han Li didn't know what others were thinking, the fiery glances that fell on him made him guess a lot, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry in his heart!
If it were possible, he would have wished that his master had set his sights on someone else instead of himself, the unlucky guy! You know, he still remembers the lessons brought by his previous master, Doctor Mo.
!Now it's good, another master with greater ability and more skills has arrived. Han Li is really speechless!
"After a while, if the foundation building is successful, I will take you to my place and accept you as a formal disciple. If the foundation building is not successful, it doesn't matter. I will also give you some pointers on the techniques." Master Li told Han Li.
road.
"Yes, master!" Han Li naturally had no other objections and agreed honestly.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to Yellow Maple Valley!" Master Li looked at the sky and said.
Next, everyone rode Master Li's silver-armored horned python again, and after flying for several days, they returned to Yellow Maple Valley.
As soon as they entered the valley, Master Li Li Huayuan took two stewards to the meeting hall. Others dispersed and returned to their residences to wait for their rewards in a few days.
…
In a hut in the Yellow Maple Valley Hundred Medicine Garden, the little old man Master Ma stared at Han Li with his eyes wide open as if he had seen a ghost, and kept muttering in his mouth:
"This is impossible. Not only did you not die, you also found a leak in the forbidden area, handed over more than twenty elixirs at once, and were accepted as a registered disciple by Master Li!"
"Yes, Uncle Ma! I am blessed with profound blessings and amazing fortune!" Han Li sat opposite the little old man and said with a half-smile, as if he was very proud of himself.
After hearing Han Li's words, the little old man's expression returned to normal, but he looked at Han Li with a strange look in his eyes, which made Han Li feel confused as he didn't know what the other person's intention was.
"Boy Han, you have indeed gained a lot from this trip to the forbidden area, far beyond my expectation!" the little old man said with a long sigh.
"I didn't expect it myself!" Han Li responded casually.
"But, do you know, Master Uncle Li's real intention in accepting you as a registered disciple?"
The little old man's next sentence with a slightly regretful look made Han Li stunned for a moment, but then he became overjoyed. However, he still suppressed his inner impulse and pretended to be confused and said in surprise:
"Uncle Ma, does Master Li have other reasons for accepting disciples?"
"Uncle? Hehe! Since Junior Brother Han has become a disciple of Uncle Li, you can just call me Senior Brother Ma from now on. Uncle, I don't dare to answer the call anymore!" The little old man shook his head lightly and said slowly.
"Ahem! Why does Master Ma make fun of my nephew? Who doesn't know that in the world of immortality, seniority is judged by skills. As long as I haven't entered the foundation building period for a day, Master Ma will naturally be my elder." Han Li said very sincerely,
He immediately poured a cup of herbal tea for the little old man and handed it to him.
"Yes, yes! Children can be taught! It seems that you haven't been overwhelmed by these things yet, so I will tell you in advance. In fact, if I don't tell you, you will know it in three or four days."
The little old man nodded with satisfaction and said lightly.
Han Li was slightly startled after hearing this, but he listened attentively to what the other party said next. You must know that he had always been on tenterhooks about Master Li suddenly accepting him as his disciple. If he had known the inside story earlier, he would not have let it go.
of.
"What reward do you think you can get for handing in so many elixirs this time?" The little old man suddenly asked, changing his subject.
"Can I exchange for two Foundation Establishing Pills? I asked beforehand that anyone who hands in about ten elixirs can be exchanged for one Foundation Establishing Pill." Han Li knew that since the other party asked this question, he must have a purpose.
He answered honestly.
"Hmph! When the rewards come out in a few days, you will only be blessed with one Foundation Establishment Pill, so don't dream about two!" the little old man said with a slight sarcasm.
"What? How could this happen! Is there still someone who can withhold rewards?" Han Li almost jumped up, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"There is no deduction, and no one dares to do that! You are the only one whose reward has been reduced. Everyone else should get the full amount. Otherwise, who will participate in the Blood Trial next time!" The little old man curled his lips and said.
.
"Is it because of Master Li?" Han Li tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously.
"You are not too stupid. You found the idea so quickly. It is indeed because Uncle Li accepted you as his disciple that you did this!" The little old man's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded.
"There is an unwritten rule in our sect. If there is a clear master-disciple relationship, the master has the right to take half of the tribute that the apprentice has handed over to the master as a thank you gift. Of course, this is only for one time and will not be repeated in the future. And you are forbidden to pick it up.
The elixir you received can be regarded as some kind of tribute to the master. So according to my estimation, the reason why Master Li is so enthusiastic about accepting you as his disciple is because he is attracted by your dozen or so plants as a thank you gift to the master. Only half of the elixir has arrived, and you
Naturally, the reward is only half, so don’t expect two more Foundation Establishment Pills." The little old man explained to Han Li carefully.
Han Li frowned, but he didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction. He just lowered his head and remained silent. This surprised the little old man. Naturally, he didn't know that instead of being angry, Han Li was now growing
I took a breath and let go of my worries.
This new master turned out to be interested in his elixir, which was really beyond his expectation, but it also made Han Li feel at ease. A foundation-building pill was really not enough for him who was about to start refining the pill.
What the heck! As long as he can successfully refine the elixir, he will naturally not take a single pill into his eyes.
The little old man didn't know Han Li's state of mind. Seeing that Han Li remained silent, he thought that Han Li was sulking and was just good at controlling it so he didn't show it. He chuckled twice and comforted Han Li:
"Although you are missing one Foundation Establishment Pill, it is not bad to be accepted as a registered disciple by Uncle Li, and it is not a big loss. You must know that your qualifications are not very good. Even if you take two Foundation Establishment Pills,
The hope of successfully building the foundation is still slim. It is better to exchange one pill for Master Li, a big backer. In this way, even if you are still in the Qi refining period, basically no one in this sect will dare to bully you. You must know that although Master Li is not
I don’t really want to accept you as my disciple, but you are still carrying his name after all. As an ordinary disciple, no one in charge would easily trouble you. And as far as I know, Master Li is very protective of his shortcomings!"
Han Li was a little touched after hearing this. He had already seen that the old man gave him two bottles of elixirs when he went to the forbidden area since he was a child. He was a cold-hearted person with a warm heart. He was really a good person! But with these words now, Han Li
I will keep it in my heart even more. The other person seems worthy of deep friendship!
Han Li thought this in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be persuaded by the little old man. He smiled bitterly and finally spoke, and exchanged a few casual words with him.
Uncle Ma was very happy when he saw that Han Li seemed to have recovered from the blow, and soon left. The Baiyao Garden was naturally handed over to Han Li again.
