Chapter 68: Giving money and accepting apprentices
Although he simply didn't want to accept Du Sheng into his watch, Li Xiao was still curious about how he provoked some old monsters.
Turning his eyes, Li Xiao said: "Actually, that old man Peach Blossom doesn't like you causing trouble. You said the bruises on your face, ugh!"
Hearing this, Du Sheng responded with a wry smile and thought to himself: Am I too impatient? If I had known this, I would have waited a few days for the bruises to subside before coming back!
"How about you tell me where this bruise came from, and let's put it all together to see if we can make that peach blossom old man change his mind?" Li Xiao said tentatively.
"This..." Du Sheng was a little hesitant. After all, it was not a glorious thing and it was really hard to mention it to others.
"If it's difficult, forget it! But it's getting late now. Mr. Du, do you think it's time to go back?" Seeing Du Sheng's expression, Li Xiao said.
Hearing Li Xiao's order to expel the guests, Du Sheng's heart suddenly became angry, but thinking of Old Man Peach Blossom in the distance, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, Du Sheng felt that although being beaten was not very honorable, there was nothing wrong with losing a little face in order to get the advice of a Qi refiner.
His heart skipped a beat, and Du Sheng told Li Xiao the origin of the bruises on his face.
This matter starts with the pill that Li Xiao sold to Du Sheng. When Du Sheng got the pill and returned home, he couldn't wait to eat it.
Du Sheng didn't have much hope as to whether this pill could help him break through his cultivation level.
But the result was unexpected. Just such a small pill, after Du Sheng absorbed it, miraculously helped him break through the cultivation level and reach the earth level.
His cultivation, which had not improved for many years, suddenly broke through. Du Sheng's confidence suddenly soared, completely losing his previous indifference.
When he first entered the ground level, Du Sheng had some thoughts of abandoning me for a moment. He only thought that those old monsters who were cultivators were nothing more than that. Excited, Du Sheng set off overnight, heading towards an old monster he knew.
He went to his residence, ready to fight with him.
Then halfway through the journey, Du Sheng woke up from the excitement and felt that there was something wrong with this trip. But at this time, he was already far away from Linshan. He thought he would just pay a visit to the old monster and have a few tricks with him.
It's good to look at the gap between yourself and him.
Furthermore, in an environment where Earth Star's spiritual energy was lacking, he didn't think those old monsters' cultivation would be that high. They were only a little higher than himself, so there shouldn't be any problem if they tried to compete.
But after arriving at the old monster's residence, Du Sheng was in tragedy.
As soon as he suggested two tricks, the old monster was like a hungry wolf that had been hungry for a week. His eyes glowed green when he saw a fresh lamb, and he beat him up without saying a word.
It seems that Du Sheng is unlucky. The reason why these old monsters are cultivators is not because they are tired of fighting, but because there are too few people at the same level as them, and each of them has some power behind them. Taking into account the power behind them, among them
It’s also not a fun competition.
Furthermore, since one can advance to the earthly level despite lack of spiritual energy, who is not advocating martial arts and keen on fighting?
But there are only a few characters of the same level who are not easy to compete with, and they feel nothing when fighting with the juniors, and they are still restrained. So as time goes by, these old monsters have escaped from the world and moved to inaccessible places. In addition to practicing, they just face each other.
The earth, mountains and rocks do violence.
And this Du Sheng was new to the world, and he even came to his door to fight. The old monster was naturally excited, and without paying attention, Du Sheng was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
Realizing the gap between ground levels, Du Sheng ran back to Linshan with bruises all over his body amid the old monster's hearty laughter.
After returning home, Du Sheng felt more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it. He wanted to beat up the old monster, but unfortunately it was not easy to improve his strength, and the old monster was also practicing! You can't just wait for the old monster to die of old age to comfort him.
Your own injured body and mind, right?
Du Sheng, who was sulking at home and secretly recovering from his injuries, received a call from Liu Rumeng.
Liu Rumeng originally asked him for help with something, but she accidentally mentioned Li Xiao's Taoist temple, and Du Sheng suddenly thought of the peach blossom old man, which gave him hope of beating the old monster.
After asking about the opening time of the Taoist temple, Du Sheng thought about how he could approach the Taohua old man and ask for advice if he really went to the Taoist temple. He didn't think about the gift at all. When he arrived at Fulongqiu,
Only then did Du Sheng remember that others were visiting, but he didn't bring any congratulatory gifts.
But when we arrived, we didn’t go back. I thought I would make up for it later.
"That's what happened. But it's normal to get injured during the competition. It's not causing trouble, right?" After telling the whole incident, Du Sheng emphasized awkwardly. He felt that he was already over fifty years old, so why?
You can describe yourself as a troublemaker!
"Ahem~! Mr. Du, you are really...!" Li Xiao coughed a few times to prevent himself from laughing, and thought to himself: Du Sheng came to the door looking for a beating! And he also knows the old monster, so
You might consider taking him in, maybe the money to buy the gold will be secured.
But you have to be on guard, after all, Du Sheng has already advanced to the lower level, and if he doesn't do well, he will get burned out.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao looked at Du Sheng intently.
[Earth level 1, combat power 1000]
Seeing this value, Li Xiao made up his mind. With this combat power, as long as he deceived him for a few days and waited for Baihua to advance, wouldn't he be crushed to death?
Seeing Li Xiao's poor cover-up, Du Sheng's face suddenly darkened.
"Then I'll help you talk about it. Maybe it can still work!" Li Xiao saw Du Sheng's expression change and said immediately, then turned and walked towards Taohua Old Taoist.
…
Turning to Old Man Taohua and Baihua, Li Xiao told the story about Du Sheng, and then asked: "Old Taoist, what do you think? Why don't you accept a disciple?"
"Master of the temple, I don't want to accept any disciples. Teaching him is too troublesome! Why don't you just accept him into the temple? You can ask him to ask for money. Well, just treat him as a mountain worshiper!"
Taohua Taohua really doesn’t want to accept a disciple. You said that he himself is bound by the heavenly space, and he may be sealed again one day. He has finally been free and easy for a few days, and has already been arranged by the master. How can he accept an old disciple?
Disciple, aren’t you causing trouble for yourself?
"But he came for you." Li Xiao said.
"Master, please don't embarrass me!" Taohua Taohua said with a sad look on his face.
"Okay then! I originally wanted you to accept a disciple and then give you a few hundred coins. What a pity!" Li Xiao said regretfully.
As soon as he heard that the disciple was given Dao coins, Taohua Taoist rolled his eyes and said: "I will not accept this disciple if he is short of a thousand Dao coins!"
"Five hundred at most, don't pull me down!" Seeing that he was still sitting on the ground raising the price, Li Xiao rolled his eyes and said without negotiation.
"Okay! Deal! Give me the Dao coins first!" Taohua Taohua agreed quickly, and then stretched out a skinny hand to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao didn't waste any time and directly took out five hundred Dao coins and handed them to Taohua Lao Dao.
Taking the Taoist coin, Taohua Taoist quickly put it into his arms, and then said with a smile: "Master, please let me know first, I will not teach him, I will still make wine if I have time!"
"That's a matter between your master and apprentice, Master Tao has nothing to do with it!" Li Xiao said nonchalantly.
Zhan ignored the old Taoist, Li Xiao turned to Baihua aside, thought for a moment, took out another thousand Tao coins, handed it to her and said: "Baihua, you can advance to the earth level as soon as possible! That old man is from the earth level.
, if something happens in the future, it’s up to you to suppress him!”
"Haha! Master, don't worry!" Baihua said happily accepting the Tao coin.
The reason why Baihua said this was that she was confident of breaking through in a short time. After all, her original rank was there and it was just being rebuilt. As long as she had enough Dao coins to increase her combat power, it would be easy to break through.
And even if she doesn't break through, she still has a secret technique that can definitely defeat an earth-level person, but the secret technique can only be used once and will cause some serious damage to herself.
"That's good, you can go back to the inner courtyard to rest first!" Li Xiao said after hearing Baihua's assurance.
Baihua bowed to Li Xiaoyingying, then turned and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Looking at Baihua walking away, Taohua Taohua felt a little disgusted. What is this? He wanted to accept a disciple and only gave five hundred, but Baihua did nothing and got a thousand Dao coins. Isn't this gender discrimination!
"Master! You're wrong! You can't look at someone's beauty and just give them so many Tao coins for free? This is a bit unfair to the old Taoist!" The old Taoist said with some resentment. This is to look at Baihua.
He had entered the inner courtyard, otherwise he would not have dared to say anything.
Looking away at the old man, Li Xiao said bluntly: "There is no way. Now that the finances are tight, naturally I will give to the comrades in need first! And you, it's okay to look dirty, but your strength is still so low, I can
Do we expect you to be a guy who will run away to fetch reinforcements at the first sign of danger?"
Speaking of which, Li Xiao was still resentful of the old Taoist's behavior last time when he ran away regardless of his own life and death!
"Master, let's not mention this matter. Let's go and recruit disciples first!" Taohua Taohua said awkwardly when he heard this, but he felt resentful in his heart: "You can't blame me for this! Just give me whatever you want.
With millions of Tao coins, I can recover my cultivation in a short time, so why should I be afraid of those small characters!"
Looking at the old man again, Li Xiao said no more and immediately turned around and led him towards Du Sheng.
Du Sheng, who was far away, kept looking in the direction of Li Xiao and Old Man Taohua. From a distance, he saw Li Xiao saying something there, and then he saw him giving something to Old Man Taohua, and then he saw Li Xiao.
Xiao waved away the Taoist nun and led Old Man Peach Blossom towards him.
"I'm afraid this is going to happen!" Du Sheng was secretly looking forward to it.
Hesitating about the angle, Du Sheng didn't see clearly what Li Xiao gave Taohua Taohua, but he thought it was precious, or something Taohua Taohua valued. Du Sheng thought, since he is helping him so much, then it doesn't matter what he does.
