"Xiao Zhong, what are you doing?"
Lu Li and Chen Zhong were busy working in the kitchen talking and laughing. Li Xuanhuo suddenly came to the door and asked with a sniff.
"Oh, the boss and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Let me get some food to entertain you." Chen Zhong glanced at Li Xuanhuo guiltily, and flipped up the spatula to turn up the green cabbage leaves below.
"You kid, I've never seen you be so kind to my teacher."
Li Xuanhuo smelled the aroma and swallowed hard: "Is it because you are a teacher this time?"
Chen Zhong grinned: "Yes! Of course there is. Master, please wait outside. It will be ready soon."
Li Xuanhuo nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lu Li in front of the kitchen door: "Boy, come out and have a chat?"
Lu Li was stunned and looked at Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong smiled and said, "Boss, go ahead and leave this place to me."
Lu Li nodded and stood up, patted his butt, and followed Li Xuanhuo into the courtyard.
This courtyard is not small. There are many green bamboos as thick as a thumb planted in it. I don’t know what kind they are. They are all crystal clear and green, and there are also rockeries with strange shapes and flowing water.
The two of them followed the path and sat down at the circular stone table in the center.
"You're a good boy. He's already at the peak of his spiritual transformation at a young age. Who do you study under?"
As soon as Li Xuanhuo sat down, he said this.
Lu Li was slightly startled, and quickly replied: "Reporting to senior, my master is a true man of morality."
"Moral real person?"
Li Xuanhuo frowned, "What kind of cultivation is your master? Why have I never heard of it?"
"Senior, please forgive me. In fact, I don't know what my master's cultivation level is. He left some opportunities for me, gave some guidance and then left in a hurry." Lu Li said vaguely.
Although Lu Li was not sure what Li Xuanhuo was thinking, his idea was that since Chen Zhong had already apprenticed to an expert like Li Xuanhuo, he could no longer join the Xuanlian Pavilion and take advantage of Chen Zhong's opportunity.
After all, Chen Zhong is also a Seven Spiritual Root. Although it is not easy for a force like Xuanlian Pavilion to pull up a Seven Spiritual Root, it is not that easy.
What's more, Chen Zhong is not the only disciple in Xuanlian Pavilion.
If he joins in again, part of what should belong to Chen Zhong might fall on him.
"There are still people like this?"
Li Xuanhuo frowned, a little embarrassed: "Young man Chen Zhong really wants to keep you in Xuanlian Pavilion, but if you have a disciple, it will be a bit troublesome..."
Hearing this, Lu Li secretly thought, "This fat guy has his heart." He smiled softly and said, "It's because I don't have enough luck as a junior, so I missed the great supporter of Xuan Lian Pavilion."
"Why!"
Li Xuanhuo sighed and said: "Actually, if your master is a casual cultivator, it is not impossible for you to join Xuanlian Pavilion. I am afraid that your master is someone from other major forces. In this way, if our Xuanlian Pavilion recruits you It’s not kind enough to take it in..."
After a pause, Li Xuanhuo said again: "How about this? For Xiao Zhong's sake, how about I let you stay here? As long as you don't do anything to harm Xuanlian Pavilion, neither will our Xuanlian Pavilion." How about driving you away...?"
"Guest?"
Lu Li was slightly startled, but did not refuse Li Xuanhuo's kindness: "So, I'm grateful to senior for his kindness, but... I'm afraid I won't stay here for too long."
"Oh? Why? Don't you want to stay with Xiao Zhong?"
"That's not true, the seniors have said it. The juniors are just guests, and they cannot enjoy the resources of Xuanlian Pavilion. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. The juniors can't just sit here and practice by sucking the air. In this way, the juniors don't know what to do. How long will it take to set foot on distraction?”
"You kid!" Li Xuanhuo thought for a while and said:
"Well, thirty years, how about you stay here for thirty years? I have a land of Shen Yin here. Although it is not as good as the land of Xuanyin, it is still quite rare. I will lend you thirty years to practice. Year..."
The land of gloom!
Hearing these words, Lu Li couldn't help but feel happy: "Senior, are you serious about what you said?"
The Land of Shenyin is known as the predecessor of the Land of Xuanyin, where the Yin energy of the earth's veins gathers.
But because the Yin Qi has not been gathering for long enough to form a cloud, or it was absorbed by people just after it formed, it is a level lower than the Xuanyin Land.
But in Dongling Continent, it is quite rare to have a place of darkness.
"Of course it's true." Li Xuanhuo said with a slight smile.
"Why do seniors treat me like this?"
"When people live for a long time, they naturally understand some Taoist principles. I think you have a lot to do, so I want to form a good relationship with you. This is a good reason, right?"
Lu Li shook his head, expressing disbelief.
Li Xuanhuo spread his hands and said, "Okay, I won't try to seduce you anymore. I'm doing this all for the sake of my disciple."
"Fat Chen?"
"That's right, it has been more than fifty years since he reached the peak of Nascent Soul, but I haven't allowed him to reach the peak of Soul Transformation yet. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because his heart is not at peace! These years, he has been thinking about your safety, and he is worried about you all the time. That's why I don't dare to let him attack the spirit form, for fear that he will get lost in the illusion if he is not careful. "Li Xuanhuo said helplessly.
Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but lowered his head in shame: "Senior, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, it wouldn't matter if I just sat here for a hundred years."
Hearing this, Li Xuanhuo couldn't help but nodded happily: "Xiao Zhong did not misjudge the person, you are indeed good."
"what's the topic!"
At this time, Chen Zhong walked out from the bamboo forest path with a large jade basin that was steaming. The rich aroma could be smelled from a distance. Lu Li and Li Xuanhuo stopped talking about the previous topic.
Chen Zhong placed the jade basin on the stone table, took out the bowls and chopsticks and said to Li Xuanhuo: "Master, don't you have that thousand-year fire cloud brew? Don't be stingy, give me some, boss."
Li Xuanhuo rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You kid, you know how to eat everything. Do you know how difficult it is to get that jar of thousand-year fire cloud brew for your master?"
"Hey, no matter how difficult it is, it's just for drinking. Give it to my boss and he will protect you in the future!"
"He...covering me?" Li Xuanhuo was amused.
"Oh, you old man, don't be so impatient, hurry up, what's the point of eating food without drinking!" Chen Zhong said impatiently.
"Okay! I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes, and I have a disciple like you. Just wait!" Li Xuanhuo glared at Chen Zhong, got up and walked towards the north cabin.
Lu Li shook his head: "Fat man, your master is good, be nice to him."
Li Xuanhuo, who was about to step into the door, couldn't help but smile with relief when he heard this, thinking: This kid is much smarter than that fool.
Chen Zhong grinned and said: "Don't worry, boss. I understand. It's just a jar of wine. At worst, I can find a few jars and return them to him..."
