Li Xuangang's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still did not move the teacup on the table.
Looking at Zhu Guangshou, who had a calm demeanor in front of him, he began to speculate on the other party's intentions.
But after thinking about it, he really couldn't think of the other party's specific intention, so Li Xuangang simply stopped worrying about the matter and asked straight to the point:
"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. It must have been so long before you revealed my true cultivation level. It must not have been a random act."
Zhu Guangshou laughed twice after hearing this.
"Senior Li Jiu is really quick to talk. To be honest, this junior has indeed noticed senior's true cultivation level a long time ago. As for why he only made it clear to senior now, in fact, this is really a helpless move by me. If there is any offense to senior
Please forgive me, senior."
Li Xuangang didn't say anything and continued to sit upright. Since his cultivation level had been seen through, there was no need to keep trying to be mysterious.
The Qianxi Jue dispersed, revealing his true cultivation level.
When the pressure belonging to the foundation building stage appeared in this small grocery store, Zhu Guangshou's hand holding the tea cup unconsciously tightened.
It seemed like he was nervous, but actually he was relieved of a faint worry in his heart.
Because Li Xuangang's technique of hiding his true cultivation level was quite sophisticated, although Zhu Guangshou used his unique spiritual eyes to detect that Li Xuangang's true cultivation level had reached the foundation building stage, he was unable to determine which stage of the foundation building stage he had reached.
.
Judging from the aura revealed by Li Xuangang now, although his cultivation aura is more vigorous than that of ordinary monks in the foundation building stage, fortunately he is still within the scope of the early stage of foundation building.
This discovery is undoubtedly good news for both Zhu Guangshou and the monks behind him, because the monks in the early stages of foundation building are more conducive to the execution of their plans and will not cause too many accidents along the way.
Seeing that Li Xuangang was waiting for his next words, Zhu Guangshou did not dare to delay any longer and said all the words he had prepared in advance.
"Fellow Daoist Li Jiu, I'll tell you the truth, this time I actually have something to ask my senior for help!"
Hearing this, Li Xuangang finally showed a hint of interest and asked:
"I wonder what's going on?"
Zhu Guangshou had been paying attention to the changes in the expression on Li Xuangang's face. At this time, he noticed that the latter was interested, and he was also happy in his heart.
Afterwards, Zhu Guangshou explained the purpose of this conversation to Li Xuangang in detail.
After a while, Zhu Guangshou stopped talking and took a sip from his teacup. Li Xuangang, opposite him, frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something seriously!
It turned out that Zhu Guangshou's purpose of revealing his true cultivation level this time was to invite him to explore a ruins cave of a foundation-building monk.
According to Zhu Guangshou, the owner of this ruins cave was a monk whose cultivation reached at least the late stage of foundation construction. There must be a lot of good things in the cave he left behind.
As for the clues about the specific location of this ruined cave, he spent a lot of effort to get it.
"Senior Li, don't worry. Although I haven't found the exact location of this ruins cave yet, there will definitely be a result within half a year. And since I took the initiative to invite senior to help me this time, I don't need senior to find this ruins cave."
Don't worry, I will notify senior when I find it."
Generally speaking, the caves left by the senior monks must have strong restrictions, so Zhu Guangshou told Li Xuangang that he thought of asking him to help him break the restrictions that guarded the caves, and that there were very likely defense methods inside the caves.
.
After listening to all Zhu Guangshou's requests, Li Xuangang pondered for a moment. A smile appeared on his lips and he asked:
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill someone and get my goods? Although I'm only at the early stage of foundation building, I'm still pretty sure I can kill you in an instant!"
After hearing this, Zhu Guangshou's expression changed, from calmness to shock. When Li Xuangang looked straight at him, he hid the shock on his face.
He said:
"Senior Li Jiu is very different from the other foundation-building seniors I have seen. Ordinary monks would not threaten their companions like this before the plan begins."
Li Xuangang raised his hand to stop and said:
"I just listened to your plan and haven't decided whether to participate or not. It's too early to say that I am a companion."
Zhu Guangshou was not angry and kept a smile on his face.
He said calmly: "But Senior Li Jiu, your heart is moved!"
Li Xuangang could not deny it, which was regarded as acquiescing to his statement.
The cave left by a monk who was at least in the late stage of foundation building was already attractive enough to him.
But he always felt that Zhu Guangshou had something hidden that he had not told him, so he had spoken out to test him before.
He didn't believe that Zhu Guangshou, a mere monk at the ninth level of Qi Refining, dared to invite him to act alone. Besides, they had only known each other for less than a year. Isn't this the same as seeking the skin of a tiger?
Seemingly seeing Li Xuangang's doubts, Zhu Guangshou continued:
"I have somewhat guessed what senior Li Jiu is worried about, but don't worry, senior, in addition to you and me, I have also invited two seniors in the foundation building stage for this operation. One of them is a foundation builder just like you, senior."
The other person is already in the middle stage of foundation building, and he has been on good terms with me for many years, which is why I have the confidence to invite seniors."
"I think that with this senior who is in the middle stage of foundation building accompanying me, senior Li Jiu won't do anything bad to the junior."
After listening, Li Xuangang felt a little moved. If it was true as Zhu Guangshou said, then his move to invite him this time would be reasonable.
And if you include yourself, then this plan involves a total of three foundation-building monks, so it is not difficult to break through the restrictions of the ruins cave.
While he was still hesitating, Zhu Guangshou took the opportunity to continue to persuade:
"Senior Li Jiu is not in a hurry to make a decision at the moment. You and I have only known each other for a while, so you should be a little cautious. Well, anyway, it will take some time to explore the ruins cave. Senior can go back and consider whether or not to do it.
Participate and leave your next reply within a month!”
"If seniors are still not at ease, I will invite two other seniors here in a few days. Then you can get to know each other and prepare for the next action."
Li Xuangang smiled and seemed to be persuaded by Zhu Guangshou.
"Since you invite me like this, if I don't go, I might be judging a gentleman with a villain's heart."
"No, seniors should be so cautious. If there are other naive people, I don't dare to act with them..."
Li Xuangang did not answer, but stood up and said:
"In that case, let me go back and think about it. I will give you a definite answer after meeting with the other two fellow Taoists in a few days."
Zhu Guangshou also stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"Then I'll arrange this right now. I'll still be here waiting for you, senior, in a few days."
With a faint "hmm", Li Xuangang turned around and prepared to leave. However, the moment he crossed the threshold of the grocery store, he seemed to have thought of something again. He turned his head and said with an inexplicable meaning:
"Aren't you afraid that I will go back on my word and not only disagree with you afterwards, but you will also publicize it everywhere?"
Zhu Guangshou kept the gesture of cupping his hands and replied calmly:
"Although I don't have a close relationship with my senior, I am still somewhat confident in my judgment of people. Since I dare to mention this matter to my senior, I dare to bet that my senior is not the kind of scoundrel who is unjust for profit."
The corner of Li Xuangang's mouth raised a slight arc, and he gave Zhu Guangshou a deep look with some deep meaning before completely leaving the place.
And when he walked back to the streets of Donghaifang City, the smile on his face had disappeared, but was replaced by a stern expression.
