There's really nothing new about it. One by one they're making trouble in the name of elixirs. It's totally not difficult at all.
"Actually, cousin, it's not that Ling'er is stingy, it's just that I only have this one pill left. After all, there are so many people. If someone else sees it and wants it, then..."
When Liu Chu heard this, Malik took out the pills he had just obtained and put them back in. But he suddenly thought of something, took them out again, and then... ate them!
This series of movements was so large that everyone present saw it and was confused.
There are only two possibilities that could make Senior Liu so nervous. First, this elixir is very precious, really very precious. That's why Grandmaster Liu was worried that others would miss it, so he took it on the spot to prevent future troubles.
However, the girl was so young. Even if she was gifted, even if she had been learning the art of alchemy since her mother's womb, it was impossible for her to be of such a high rank that even a Grandmaster would be so crazy about her.
Of course, there is a second possibility, that is, this pill is really ordinary and can't be put on the table. But Liu Chu has always been good friends with Linglong, and just now he clearly expressed his love for the girl. In front of so many people, he didn't want her to lose face, so he resorted to this last resort. After all, the pill has been eaten, who can see whether it is good or bad.
Even Lan Shuhe believed the second possibility naturally.
"Senior Liu, I know you have a good relationship with my uncle, and I understand your care for me. But you don't have to be so careless about your body. After all, the quality of the pill is too poor, and it will have a certain impact on your body if you eat it." After saying that, he went too far and looked at Ling'er with an embarrassed face, "You are such a kid, I know you want to please Senior Liu, but you can't ignore your health. What kind of disease will this thing cause? This..."
Before Lan Shuhe could finish his words, he heard a commotion.
Not knowing what had happened, he immediately looked in the direction where everyone's eyes met. Upon seeing this, Lan Shuhe's face, which had always been smiling, was suddenly clouded with gloom.
Liu Chu, who had been in the middle stage of Grandmaster for more than ten years, actually made a breakthrough!
Grandmaster advanced!
Immediately afterwards, Liu Chu's aura changed again, rising to the early stage of the king level.
this!
How is this possible!
After reaching the purple level, each level up is quite difficult, otherwise Liu Chu wouldn't have been standing still for so many years. Being able to level up is already as difficult as ascending to heaven, he he he he, he actually leveled up twice.
"Hahahaha... Hahahaha... I broke through... I finally broke through. I thought I would never reach the King level in this lifetime, hahaha..." Liu Chu stretched out his hands and looked at himself with a smile on his face. After a moment, he suddenly ran towards Ling'er.
Seeing this, Linglong immediately stood up and quickly pulled Ling'er to his side. Liu Chu, who had originally planned to hug Ling'er tightly, missed.
"Brother Ling, what are you doing? I just want to hug my goddaughter and express my gratitude. Thanks to her pill, it's amazing." I thought it was only used to treat his hidden injuries, but I didn't expect it to be a breakthrough in one fell swoop.
"Girl Ling, you are such a lucky star. How about this? Actually, there is nothing fun in the Ling family. You can go out with grandpa to travel. Grandpa is so old and hasn't found a suitable successor yet. How about you? You, girl, will definitely be no problem."
The more Linglong listened to this, the more he felt something was wrong. He finally realized that this old man was trying to snatch his granddaughter from him. How could this be allowed
Linglong pulled Ling'er behind him, looking like he was protecting his food.
"I'm telling you, Liu Chu, I call you my elder brother because you're older, so don't take advantage of me. If you come to eat and drink, I'm very welcome. But if you want to catch my granddaughter's eye, I'm telling you, you'd better give up the idea as soon as possible. If you dare to kidnap my granddaughter, I, I, I... I will break up with you!"
Linglong was so anxious that he stuttered.
"Oh, brother Ling. I'm doing this for the good of your Ling family. Miss Ling has already made some achievements in alchemy, so if she learns a few more things, such as talismans, wouldn't it be an extra guarantee? Besides, this girl is just your granddaughter, not a member of your Ling family. If she follows me, she will have more support in the future." Although this girl's mother is Lingxi, the rumors about her father are not very good.
Although he hated those worldly views, the girl was still young and he didn't want others to make things difficult for her because of her family background one day.
"I don't have to be her godfather, she can just recognize me as her grandfather." Hahaha, in this way, I am closer to her than Linglong, the grandfather.
Thinking of this, Liu Chu felt even better.
How could Linglong not know what Liu Chu was thinking? What a joke.
"Don't dream, I don't agree. Go, go, come, send this old man out quickly, we don't welcome him in the Ling family."
"... ... "
As servants, they feel very embarrassed about having such a childish head of the household.
One is the head of the family, and the other is a senior in the area. I really dare not move.
The two old men were talking very excitedly, but everyone was listening in confusion.
Two seniors of Taishan level are fighting for a young girl who is just starting out
Linglong is Xia Ling'er's granddaughter, so it's normal for a grandfather to like his granddaughter. But this Senior Liu Chu is a master-level, no, no, no, a king-level talisman master. Many young talents from wealthy families wanted to worship him as their master, but he never agreed. Now they are fighting for Xia Ling'er.
And, what did they just hear
The reason why Liu Chu was able to break through was because of the elixir that Xia Ling'er had just given him
It is possible to break through to the Grandmaster level, or break through two levels in a row!
What kind of medicine is this
The crowd, who originally didn't take it seriously, now looked at Xia Ling'er with more inquiry, appreciation, confusion, and enthusiasm in their eyes.
Even Lan Shuhe was stunned.
He really didn't expect that the pill that Xia Ling'er casually gave away would be so powerful.
If this elixir were to fall into his hands, wouldn't it be...
Lan Shuhe laughed dryly a few times, then clapped his hands to himself.
"Okay, okay." Lan Shuhe clapped his hands and spoke incoherently, slowly approaching Ling'er.
"Niece, you are such a good child. You are willing to give the most valuable thing you have to Senior Liu Chu. Look how happy he is. He will definitely take care of you in the future." These words sound like they are praising Ling'er for being generous and polite, but in fact they are indirectly saying that Ling'er has impure intentions.
When he first met Liu Chu, he was eager to get closer to him by giving him gifts. He probably knew that he had a bad background and hoped to use this precious elixir to exchange for an assistant.
Apparently, the plan was successful.
Senior Liu Chu was not only very happy, he also said that he wanted to accept her as his only successor and even threatened to make the decision for her.
Although Xia Ling'er came from a poor family, she has now married into a wealthy family.
After Lan Shuhe's explanation, everyone understood what was going on.
The good impression that he had just built up towards Ling'er disappeared again. The gaze of praise and admiration just now turned into a look of contempt.
What these nobles despise most are those lowly people who come from humble backgrounds and yet still dream of currying favor with the powerful.
Lan Shuhe looked at Ling'er with a smug look on his face, his eyes full of provocation.
Ling'er was not angry. She raised her eyebrows at Lan Shuhe and returned the same smile.
Lan Shuhe had never expected that this little girl, though still young, was quite capable of keeping calm in the face of adversity. Looking at Ling'er's contented smile, Lan Shuhe gradually felt a little flustered, as if something was about to get out of control. However, years of experience had allowed him to suppress his anxiety.
No.
She is just a child.
"I want this great pill, too, uncle. But it's a pity that Ling'er just said there's only one. As juniors, it's not easy for us to compete with Senior Liu for it."
Another meaning of this statement is that Xia Ling'er is very picky. Among all the people present, only Liu Chu is worthy of her attention. She looks down upon others.
This sentence invisibly created a lot of hostility towards Mo Mingguang for Ling'er, and the smile in Lan Shuhe's eyes deepened.
Although this bastard could be considered a fox, it was too young compared to him.
"Hehe, uncle is right, I did say that I only have one of these pills left. In fact, I originally had three of these pills, but the reason there is only one left is because I gave the rest away." After Ling'er said that, she turned around to look at Linglong and blinked at him, "Grandpa, I was right, wasn't I?" After all, two of them were in grandpa's hands.
Seeing this, Linglong snorted and turned away pretending to be angry.
This girl actually gave such a precious medicine to Old Man Liu without even informing him in advance. He was very angry and felt that his status as a grandfather was seriously threatened!
But naturally, no one believed Ling'er's words. After all, the person who verified the truth of her words was her own grandfather.
"However, if there are any seniors present who really want it, as long as they provide enough medicinal materials, I can help you refine it. However, I do things based on my mood. If I like you, I won't charge you for refining the medicine. But if I don't like you, then even if you give me a mountain of gold and silver, I won't serve you. So uncle, Ling'er can only say sorry to you here."
The meaning of this statement is very clear, Lan Shuhe is the person that she dislikes.
Ling'er, Lan Shu and their eyes met. There was smile in each other's eyes, but sparks of fire were flying.
"Niece, you didn't say that you made this pill just now." So she was being mysterious, just to let herself continue to say the next words, so that she could wait for him here. She wanted to make herself understand that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
The little fox cub is really capable!
"But I didn't say that I didn't make this elixir."
You big pig's hoof, fight with me!
"Uncle, actually that pill is not suitable for you, because that kind of pill will only be effective when taken by people above the Grandmaster level. But if uncle can work hard at cultivation, take less pills that accelerate cultivation, and live a long life, then it might be useful."
You want to compete with me in venomous tongue? Ha! I can’t poison you to death!
This statement clearly meant that his cultivation was low and he had no talent. Even his current cultivation level was half the result of pills.
This woman! How hateful!
Lan Shuhe was feeling extremely angry at the moment, but due to his status and the fact that they were in the Ling family, he couldn't show it obviously.
I can only endure it!
Ling'er also realized that Lan Shuhe did not dare to break off relations with the Ling family directly, so she deliberately acted in such a tit-for-tat manner in order to hide her disgust for Lan Shuhe.
That's right, just let him bear it, bear it, it would be best if he got internal injuries and went home to be seriously ill for a few days before he recovered.
If you go against Xia Ling'er, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.
She has always been ruthless to those who are unfriendly.
Ling'er approached Lan Shuhe and whispered in his ear, "Lan Shuhe, don't get yourself hurt by being angry. You may end up losing more than you gain..."
"you!"
Finally, seeing anger on Lan Shuhe's face, Ling'er laughed out loud.
"hehe."
Before Lan Shuhe could say anything, the young men from various families who wanted to ask Ling'er to refine the elixir immediately rushed over, congratulating her and offering her gifts, trying to get close to Ling'er, subconsciously showing their desire to establish a good relationship with her.
In fact, to put it bluntly, they just want Ling'er to make pills for them.
