Lu Ping was a little baffled. The two heads of the Shangguan family and the Li family were fighting secretly, but they also involved him. This Mr. Yue was also strange. For some unknown purpose, he actually directly targeted Lu Ping.
The head of the Shangguan family didn't express anything about Yue Jiangrui's words, but Li Maolin was taken aback. Although this Mr. Yue is extremely skilled in alchemy, because he took the wrong path in his cultivation in the early years, he has no hope of breaking through the alchemy stage in the future , but his alchemy is limited by his cultivation. Although he is extremely proficient in refining the alchemy of the half-step forging alchemy stage, and even the alchemy master's alchemy rate is inferior to him, he still cannot refine it successfully. A elixir in the alchemy period will always miss the title of alchemy master.
In desperation, Yue Jiangrui easily developed a quirk, that is, he never had a good look at young monks and young alchemists, and even sneered at them, and he was even more serious about those monks who were known as geniuses. It's extreme jealousy and hatred, as if he wants to blame these genius monks for the reason why he can't break through the alchemy stage and become an alchemy master, and he is extremely keen on hitting these monks' self-confidence and self-esteem.
Alchemists have their own means of alchemy. When the owner of Shangguan was still trying to figure out who is the alchemy master invited by the Li family this time, Lu Ping and Chi Lianying, Yue Jiangrui had already discovered the identity of Lu Ping's alchemist.
Alchemists who are qualified to participate in the medium-sized power alchemy competition can at least be more proficient in refining the elixir of the hemolysis stage. If they want to not be ridiculed by others, they must successfully refine the elixir of the half-step alchemy stage. In Yue Jiangrui's opinion Lu Ping is no more than 30 years old. Not only has his cultivation reached the peak of hemolysis, but his alchemy skills are also so high. After the alchemy stage, becoming a master of alchemy is almost a certainty. How can this not make him jealous? , so after discovering the dialogue between the owner of Shangguan and Li Maolin, he immediately vented his jealousy on Lu Ping.
What Li Maolin is afraid of now is that Lu Ping is young and vigorous, and cannot stand Yue Jiangrui's verbal provocations. Once he falls into the trap, with Yue Jiangrui's decades of experience and means of refining half-step alchemy pills, Lu Ping is naturally impossible to be his opponent. Not only may Lu Ping fail and be humiliated, it may even affect Lu Ping's performance at the alchemy meeting.
Li Maolin intends to remind or even stop Lu Ping, but the communication between alchemists is obviously not something that other monks can get involved at will, otherwise they will inevitably offend one of them. Seeing Yue Jiangrui looking at him with a half-smile expression, Li Maolin sighed in his heart, regardless People are high or low in alchemy, and the huge network of relationships that Yue Jiangrui has used his alchemy in the Northern League for decades is not comparable to Lu Ping. Even several alchemy masters in the Northern League respect his alchemy. Well, the Li family really has no deterrent power in front of him.
Li Maolin finally chose to remain silent. Li Xiuzhu was a little annoyed at Yue Jiangrui's reliance on the old, and wanted to argue a few words, but seeing his father's behavior of staying out of the matter, Li Xiuzhu was originally a good girl with no opinions, and Lu Ping's unreasonable yesterday, in his heart When angry, he stood still.
Chi Lianying looked at Lu Ping's "chichi" smile, with a beating expression to see how you deal with it, Lu Ping was always wondering how this kind of expression appeared on a woman like Chi Lianying, how could it be so harmonious and natural, In other words, how could this expression appear on a woman's face.
"People who have half-buried their bodies in the ground can indeed call the younger generation a child." Lu Ping thought for a while, then nodded, and then added: "And it's only right and proper!"
This not only cursed Yue Jiangrui to die early, but also hit his sore spot at once: at such an old age, I am afraid that there is no hope of becoming a golden alchemy. Dreams that are beyond reach, I will not have the same knowledge as you.
Li Maolin secretly said "It's broken", Shangguan and his son had already gloated and offended this master, unless your kid becomes a master of alchemy, just wait for him to put on shoes for you.
"Okay, okay, hehe!" Yue Jiangrui smiled angrily, pointing to Lu Ping and Li Maolin, and said, "There are always so many inequalities in this world, no matter how young you are, you can participate in the Northern League regardless of your cultivation and alchemy skills." According to Danhui's standards, he has a character of being the only dancer in heaven and earth, and uses teasing others as a means to show himself. He is extremely sarcastic and sarcastic. This old man just doesn't believe in this evil, and he will definitely offend you, a proud son of heaven. , is your Li family trying to stop me this time?"
The last sentence was addressed to Li Maolin.
Yue Jiangrui's words can be said to be unreasonable. Where Lu Ping "only respects me" and where does he "show off everywhere", it is "sarcasm" and it is also because Yue Jiangrui had provoked in advance.
Lu Ping did not expect that he would meet an old rascal who obviously used other people's reasoning upside down, but this is obviously not the time to use it to reason.
Li Maolin is in an extremely difficult situation now. If he blocks this matter for Lu Ping, the Li family will undoubtedly provoke the jealousy of an alchemist who is already narrow-minded. If the Dan will compete, that will be bad. Not only will the Li family be reduced to a small force, but the income of the unnamed island will also be divided by the Zhang and Wang families.
Lu Ping didn't say anything, just wanted to see what step Li Maolin could do for himself.
Li Maolin pondered for a while, and then said: "Mr. Yue, the Pill Club is coming soon. If the two of you want to compete, after the Pill Club competition, you will have a lot of time to do it. What do you think?"
After all, Li Maolin decided to leave Lu Ping behind, at least to put aside his relationship with him after the Dan meeting.
Lu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing, Chi Lianying sighed slightly beside Lu Ping, but Li Xiuzhu's face turned red.
"That's not necessary," Yue Jiangrui said with a sneer: "Isn't this alchemy meeting a ready-made opportunity? I heard that in addition to your Li family having to deal with the ups and downs of power, this alchemy meeting will also determine the level of your three families, Wang Zhang and Li. In my opinion, the respective shares of the profits from the Wuming Island Spirit Mine Vein can be placed on an additional layer of bets. If this kid ranks ahead of the old man in the competition among the 126 alchemists, the old man has nothing to say. If you are ranked lower than the old man, you will apologize to the old man in public, lose your alchemy furnace to the old man, admit that your alchemy skills are far inferior to the old man, your Li family will also marry your daughter to the Shangguan family as a daughter-in-law, what do you think? ?”
The alchemy furnace is the foundation of alchemy. Losing the alchemy furnace is the greatest shame for an alchemist. The alchemist who loses the alchemy furnace cannot make alchemy for others until he can get all of this from the person who defeated him. return.
If the number one hatred in the cultivation world is to prevent people from becoming enlightened, then destroying the alchemy furnace is the alchemist's second hatred. This does not give Lu Ping any room at all.
Li Maolin said shyly, "Mr. Yue's conditions..."
"It's a deal!"
Li Maolin turned his head abruptly when he heard the words, and his daughter, who was obedient to him, agreed on his behalf. Li Maolin didn't react for a while, but he heard the head of the Shangguan family laughing "haha" and said: "My niece is really heroic, don't worry , being the daughter-in-law of my Shangguan family will never treat you badly. Even if the Li family is reduced to a small force, with the help of my Shangguan family, the Li family will still be as stable as Mount Tai in Sanjia Island. Humph, one of his Zhang family lives on Qianyuan Mountain As a cultivator in the late stage of hemolysis, my Shangguan family also has an uncle who worships under the ancestor of Fa Xiang on Qianyuan Mountain, and the Zhang family may not dare to mess with our Shangguan family."
Shangguan Hao on the side looked at Li Xiuzhu quite happily. In his opinion, this was a clear proof that Li Xiuzhu's heart secretly promised himself. The fundamental reason why he and Li Xiuzhu could not become Taoist couples was the obstruction of Li Maolin, otherwise Li Xiuzhu Nor would he agree to Senior Yue's bet knowing that he would lose.
This time, not only sister Xiuzhu will become his Taoist partner, but also the Shangguan family has a legitimate reason to intervene in the affairs of Sanjiadao. Among the descendants of the Li family, only Li Xiuzhu is such a talented person, and the others are nothing to worry about. It can be said that there is no successor people.
Once Li Xiuzhu became the daughter-in-law of the Shangguan family, in the future, as the power of the Shangguan family increased, the Li family would gradually become a vassal of the Shangguan family, and the cultivation resources mastered by the Li family would be used by the Shangguan family. The share of the spirit veins coveted by the major forces of the alliance.
Not mentioning Shangguan Hao's own new plan, Li Maolin said anxiously: "Zhu'er, you, why are you bothering? If my Li family is reduced to a small force, there is absolutely no such thing as marriage."
Li Xiuzhu looked calm and said, "Father, my daughter just has confidence in Brother Lu."
Li Maolin was taken aback when he heard the words, and then remembered that he was just thinking about the gains and losses of the family, but he forgot that Lu Ping was the key to the Li family's Dan meeting this time. Li Maolin blindly avoided conflicts, but decided that Lu Ping must Losing is undoubtedly normal.
But at this moment, Shangguan Hao, who just now felt superior and good, seemed to be poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water. His eyes looking at Lu Ping gradually became sharper, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
How keen Lu Ping felt, the change in Shangguan Hao's aura, Lu Ping became aware of it, and glanced at Shangguan Hao in the blink of an eye, Lu Ping didn't take it to heart at all.
Lu Ping's glance made Shangguan Hao feel a feeling of being ignored. A child like him has been the center of everyone since he was a child, and he is always the object of attention. For a person like him, ignoring It means contempt.
A minor cultivator at the hemolytic stage dared to look down on a high-level monk at the alchemy stage, he was looking for death!
