It stands to reason that to be accepted as a disciple by a cultivator at the alchemy stage, for low-level cultivators, it is definitely a great thing that can't be dreamed of, but after hearing this, Han Li was shocked. , Subconsciously noticed something was wrong.
With his aptitude and skills, there is no way such a good thing will happen to him. As for the words that he has made great contributions to Huang Fenggu and should be rewarded heavily, Han Li does not believe it at all. If the patriarch had won the bet and accepted him as a hero on a whim, there would be some sincerity. But it is intriguing to accept him as a disciple after losing so badly!
When Han Li was spinning countless thoughts, Master Li became displeased.
After he said the words of accepting Han Li as his disciple, he thought that the other party must be overjoyed and would immediately agree. But who would have thought that Han Li stood there blankly, his face full of astonishment, and he didn't express his opinion immediately, which made him slightly annoyed.
But on the surface, Grand Master Li naturally wanted to maintain his demeanor, so he said lightly: "Han Li, if you don't want to worship me as your teacher, you just need to say so, and I won't force you! I can give you a few more magical artifacts as compensation!"
As soon as Han Li heard this, he knew that the other party's words were beautiful, but he was definitely dissatisfied. What would be the consequences of offending this patriarch, Han Li didn't need to think deeply, he understood very well, and it was too unreasonable for a disciple of his Qi refining stage to refuse the alchemy stage monk's apprenticeship. I'm afraid that if you refuse, you will cause more trouble.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, no matter what the other party's plan is for him, let's deal with the current challenge first, anyway, if he doesn't agree with this posture, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat.
"Of course I am happy to be able to worship under the master's door. This is a disciple's honor! Just now I was so happy that I forgot to open my mouth. Please forgive me!" Han Li blushed a lot, pretending Only then did he recover from the excitement, and said in an impatient tone.
Afterwards, Han Li was very knowledgeable, kowtowed to Master Li a few times, and immediately performed the salute of master Li.
"Very good! From today onwards, you are my disciple of Li Huayuan, and this Biguang Saber Magical Artifact will be regarded as a meeting gift for the master." With a smile on his face, Li Huayuan reached out to support Han Li and handed him a The bi-color long knife, judging by its sparkling aura, is definitely a top-level magic weapon.
Han Li solemnly took the long knife with both hands, and kowtowed again to show his respect. He seemed to be overjoyed to stand up.
And the eyes of the other disciples who were stunned around were burning. The eyes that looked at Han Li were all very strange, and wished that the person who went to receive the magic weapon was himself, not Han Li, who had long been disliked.
Although Han Li didn't know what other people were thinking, but the fiery gazes that fell on him made him guess wildly, and he couldn't help crying and laughing in his heart!
If possible. He also wished that this master had his eyes on other people, not himself, this unlucky ghost! One must know that he still remembers the lesson brought by his previous master, Doctor Mo! Fortunately, there is another master who is more capable and has other plans. This is really speechless for Han Li!
"After a while, if the foundation is successfully established, I will take you to my place and accept you as an official disciple. It doesn't matter if the foundation is not completed, I will also give some pointers on the exercises." Master Li ordered to Han Li road.
"Yes, master!" Han Li naturally had no other objections. Very honestly agreed.
"Okay, it's getting late. Let's go back to Huangfeng Valley!" Master Li said after looking at the sky.
Next, everyone rode Master Li's silver-armored horned python again, and after flying for several days, they returned to Huangfeng Valley.
As soon as he entered the valley, Master Li Huayuan took two stewards and went to the meeting hall. Others left one after another, returned to their residences, and waited for the reward in a few days.
…
In a thatched hut in the Yellow Maple Valley Hundred Medicine Garden, the little old man Uncle Ma stared at Han Li as if he had seen a ghost, and kept muttering: "This is impossible, you Not only did he not die, but he also picked up a leak in the forbidden area, handed in more than 20 elixir plants at once, and was accepted as a registered disciple by Martial Uncle Li!"
"That's right, Uncle Ma! Is this a source of good fortune for me, and an amazing fortune?" Han Li sat opposite the little old man, and said with a half-smile, as if he was very proud.
Hearing Han Li's words, the little old man's face returned to normal, but he put on a strange look and stared at Han Li. Han Li's heart was flustered and he didn't know what the other party's intention was.
"Boy Han, you have indeed gained a lot from this trip to the forbidden area, far beyond my expectations!" The little old man said with a long sigh.
"I didn't think of it myself!" Han Li responded casually.
"But, do you know the real intention behind Martial Uncle Li accepting you as a registered student?" Han Li was taken aback by the little old man's next words, but then he became overjoyed. But he still resisted the impulse in his heart, and pretended to be confused and surprised: "Uncle Ma, is there any other reason for Master Li to accept disciples?"
"Uncle? Hehe! Since Junior Brother Han has worshiped under Senior Uncle Li, you can just call me Senior Brother Ma from now on. I don't dare to answer my uncle!" The little old man shook his head lightly and said slowly.
"Cough! Uncle Ma, why bother to make fun of my nephew? Who doesn't know that seniority is judged by skills in the world of cultivating immortals. As long as I haven't entered the foundation-building stage for a day, Uncle Ma is still my elder." Han Li said very sincerely, And immediately poured a cup of herbal flower tea for the little old man, and handed it to the other party.
"Yes, yes, children can be taught! It seems that you have not been overwhelmed by these things, so I will tell you in advance. Actually, if I don't tell you, you will know in three or four days." The little old man nodded in satisfaction and said lightly.
Han Li was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but he listened attentively to the other party's next words. You know, he has always been in fear about Li Shizu's sudden acceptance of him as an apprentice. If he knew the inside story earlier, he would naturally not let it go.
"What reward do you think you can get for handing in so many elixir this time?" The little old man suddenly asked after changing the subject.
"Can you exchange two Foundation Establishment Pills? I have inquired beforehand that anyone who turns in about ten elixir plants can exchange for one Foundation Establishment Pill." Han Li knew that since the other party asked such a question, there must be a purpose. He answered honestly.
"Hmph! When the reward comes out in a few days, you will only have the blessing of one Foundation Establishment Pill, so don't dream about two!" The little old man said sarcastically.
"What? How did this happen! Could it be that there are still people who can't 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 it! You are the only one who gets less rewards, and everyone else should get the full amount. Otherwise, who will participate in the Scarlet Trial next time!" said the little old man, curling his lips. .
"Could it be because of Master Li?" Han Li tilted his head and thought for a while, then said seriously.
"You're not too stupid, you found an idea so quickly. It's because Uncle Li accepted you as an apprentice!" The little old man nodded with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
"There is an unwritten rule in our school. For those who have a clear master-student relationship, the master has the right to take half of the tribute handed in by the apprentice as a thank-you gift. Of course, this is only for one time, and it is not an example. The elixir that I got is also a kind of tribute to the master. So according to my estimation, the reason why Master Li is so enthusiastic about accepting you as an apprentice is probably because of your ten or so plant appreciation ceremony. Only half of the elixir has arrived, you Naturally, the reward is only half, so don't expect two more Foundation Establishment Pills." The little old man carefully explained to Han Li.
Han Li frowned, but he didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction, he just bowed his head in silence, which surprised the little old man. He naturally didn't know that instead of being angry, Han Li heaved a sigh of relief, letting go of the heart he had been carrying all along.
This new master turned out to be interested in his elixir. This was really beyond his expectation, but it also made Han Li feel at ease. A foundation building pill is really nothing to him who is about to start alchemy! As long as he can successfully refine alchemy, he will naturally ignore even a single pill.
The little old man didn't know Han Li's state of mind. Seeing that Han Li kept silent, he thought that Han Li was holding back his stomach, but he was just good at controlling and didn't show it. He chuckled a few times and comforted Han Li: "Although one of the foundation building pills is missing, it is not bad to be accepted as a registered disciple by Master Li in exchange. It is not a disadvantage. You know, your aptitude It's really not very good, even if you take two pills of foundation building, the hope of success in foundation building is still slim. It's better to exchange one pill for Li Shishu, the big backer, so that even if you are still in the Qi refining period in the future, the whole family is basically No one will dare to bully you anymore. You must know that although Martial Uncle Li did not sincerely accept you as a disciple, you still bear his brand after all. No one in the ordinary disciples or stewards will easily trouble you. And as far as I know, Martial Uncle Li is Very short-sighted!"
Han Li was a little touched when he heard this. Since the old man gave him two bottles of pills when he went to the forbidden area, he had already seen that the other party was a person with a cold heart and a warm heart, and he was really a good person! But now these words, Han Li is even more in mind, the other party seems to be worthy of deep friendship!
Han Li thought so in his heart, but on the surface he still wanted to act like he was reluctantly persuaded by the little old man. After a few wry smiles, he finally spoke, and said a few casual words to him.
Uncle Ma was very happy to see that Han Li seemed to have recovered from the blow, and he left soon after. Naturally, the Hundred Medicine Garden was handed over to Han Li again.
