"laugh!"
"Hahaha!"
In an instant, the entire mountain gate square was filled with laughter, some sarcastic, some mocking. "Elder Zou reluctantly gave up the long-famous Cold Water Sword and was willing to give it to you, but you refused it and insisted on using your broken sword?"
"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"
The sound of banter never ceased.
However, Lin Li was not moved at all!
Oh!
Why should we pay attention to the gossip of outsiders
Only you know the real benefits!
And you should live your own life alone, without caring about anyone!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Elder Zou took a deep breath, put the Hanshui Sword into his storage bag with his backhand, his beard trembling, and said three good words in a row!
The shock and anger he had felt before were completely gone. Instead, he patted Lin Li's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "What a filial son! I was right about you!"
"It's just that your sword is too ordinary. Maybe it's okay to use it in the middle stage of Qi Refining, but as long as you reach the late stage of Qi Refining..."
Before he could finish his words, Elder Zou's expression suddenly changed!
"What?!"
He couldn't help but exclaimed: "You have actually reached the late stage of Qi Refining!"
How long has it been
Elder Zou remembers it very clearly!
Before, when he was in the back mountain, Lin Li was only in the middle stage of Qi Refining.
When discussing Lin Li's reward, the head of the sect also showed the records of Lin Li's initiation to all the elders.
An orphan and a casual cultivator, he has been practicing for less than a month and has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, which just meets the standard of the middle stage of Qi Refining required for entry into the Xuantian Sect.
But now...
Surprisingly, he has already reached the late stage of Qi Refining!
Although Elder Zou is already in the late Jindan stage and has lived for hundreds of years, he is a very experienced and knowledgeable person...
However, for someone like Lin Li, who broke through from the fourth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining in just one month, this incredibly fast speed of cultivation breakthrough was still something Elder Zou had never heard of or seen before!
No wonder Elder Zou was surprised!
Lin Li's heart tightened: I didn't expect that Elder Zou was so powerful! Just by patting his shoulder, he could feel the change in his cultivation!
"Elder Zou is indeed amazing!"
Lin Li said respectfully: "After I joined Xuantian Sect, I obtained the magical skills of Xuantian Sect. I found that compared with the skills I practiced before joining our sect, our skills are very profound and profound! After careful study, I benefited a lot! After that, I had an epiphany in the life-and-death battle with the Golden Leopard King, and thus broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining."
"I see."
Elder Zou did not doubt it, but stroked his beard and said with satisfaction: "You are blessed with a lot of luck! It seems that the time for you to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and choose one of the five Xuantian sects is not far away. You must remember that the skills of my Lietian Peak Sword Sect are the most suitable for you."
"Reply to the elder."
Lin Li hesitated and said, "But, I must use this sword passed down by my father, so I am afraid it is not suitable for me to join a sword sect. I am considering joining a weapon sect, and after I learn the skill of refining weapons, I can refine this sword into my own magic weapon..."
“Nonsense!”
For a moment, Elder Zou and even the Ye Fan sword that Lin Li was carrying with him spat and cursed angrily.
Then, Elder Zou said, "Do you think refining equipment is so easy? I don't know how much material will be wasted before successfully refining equipment!"
"Wouldn't it be a pity if the sword passed down from your father was damaged?"
"this… "
Lin Li was shocked, but also felt that it made sense: What if after refining, the sword lost its effect of absorbing blood and suppressing curses
Suddenly, Lin Li was in a dilemma.
"How about this, since you don't want my Hanshui Sword, I will ask the elders of the Qi Sect to refine this sword into a top-grade magical weapon for you?"
Elder Zou said with a smile.
Lin Li was happy at first, but then his expression changed drastically: If the elders of the Weapon Sect discovered that there was something wrong with the sword, it would be terrible!
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Zou! In fact, the rewards given to me by the sect are already quite generous! I am flattered by Elder Zou's generosity. Elder Zou, you don't have to be like this! I still have a long time to reach the great perfection of Qi Refining. I want to go back and think carefully about how to deal with this sword and which of the five Xuantian sects I should join. Please don't be offended, Elder Zou!"
"Humph! Elder Zou is so kind to you, but you are so ungrateful!"
Luo Zhiyuan, who had always wanted to take Elder Zou as his teacher, couldn't help but scold him out loud at this moment.
"Feel sorry!"
Lin Li bowed, but his will was firm.
"Oh! Well! That's it!"
Elder Zou shook his head, then asked Lin Li and others to stand side by side and preside over the occasion. After he gave some beautiful words to encourage the disciples to work together and help each other, the sect meeting ended.
When returning with Junior Brother Liu, many fellow disciples whom Lin Li did not know came up to him and showed their courtesy in a fawning manner.
Some wanted to follow Lin Li, and some wanted to worship Lin Li as their big brother.
There were also forces among Xuantian Sect's outer disciples who wanted to win over Lin Li and wanted him to join their forces as a deputy.
There were even inner disciples in the foundation-building stage who came forward to show their goodwill and try to win over Lin Li.
This made Junior Brother Liu laugh and say that Lin Li was now a very popular figure in Xuantian Sect and everyone wanted to praise him.
However, Lin Li did not appreciate their kindness.
As for Lin Li, he has many secrets!
Therefore, Lin Li rejected all those who came to show their courtesy and goodwill, and after returning to his own immortal residence, he had his meal with the help of two maids, and then went into the quiet room to start his retreat.
…
In a quiet room.
Lin Li first checked the Great Huan Dan that had caused the inner sect disciples of the foundation-building period to become jealous.
The Dahuandan is golden red in color and the size of a thumb.
"I heard at the sect-wide meeting that this Great Huan Dan is a waste for me who is in the Qi Refining Stage. It can only be used effectively in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even in the Core Formation Stage, it is of great use! This is something that can save lives at a critical moment! I must keep it close to my body!"
Then, he looked at the porcelain bottle containing twenty-eight small elixirs.
Open the bottle cap and the fragrance will hit your nose.
Pour out a pill, which is about a circle smaller than your little finger and is red in color.
"I can use this now. It should be of great help to me in the Qi Refining Stage! When I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, it should also be very effective."
After checking the big and small Huandan, Lin Li checked the spirit stone again.
The eighty-eight low-grade spirit stones looked like translucent jadeite. When held in the hand, spiritual energy flowed through them.
"If you practice with a spirit stone in hand, your efficiency will increase several times!"
Lin Li thought: "However, spirit stones are the universal currency in the world of immortal cultivation. I still have five bottles of Qi-boosting pills, so I don't need to waste spirit stones."
As for the middle-grade spirit stone, it looked like jade, crystal clear, and had spiritual charm flowing within it.
