When I take my cultivation to the extreme

Chapter 76 Elders giving gifts?Xu Hua'an's request

Li Fan went on a shopping spree today.

He is now practicing daily, and Peiyuan Dan can no longer meet his needs, so he went to Pinxinzhai, the most famous elixir shop in Yangsu City with the most complete range of elixirs recommended by Zhai Dongsheng just now.

In this elixir shop, Li Fan purchased the elixir 'Xuan Yuan Dan' suitable for his current state.

Xuanyuan Pill and Peiyuan Pill have similar medicinal properties, but their potency is more than ten times stronger. Of course, the price also increases with the potency.

A bottle of Peiyuan Dan has ten pills, and a bottle of low-grade spiritual stone costs 15 yuan.

Xuanyuan Dan also has ten pills in a bottle, and the price is as high as two hundred spirit stones.

Li Fan bought fifteen bottles in one go, spending three thousand spirit stones.

The effect of Xuanyuan Dan lasts longer, so you don’t need to take one pill a day, just take one pill every three days.

In this way, Li Fan lost most of his spiritual stones.

Li Fan did the math and found that the cost today had exceeded [-] spirit stones.

Li Fan felt quite fulfilled, because the spiritual stones he had spent had been replaced by magic weapons and elixirs, and had been transformed into another form to accompany him.

He also felt almost done.

Although the cost of more than 2 spirit stones today seems quite exaggerated, his status as a foundation-building monk can keep it down.

Foundation-building monks are worth this price.

But if it costs more, it may attract unnecessary attention.

Li Fan returned to the hotel with a full load.

As soon as Li Fan returned to the hotel, he saw one of the two female cultivators who had received him yesterday, and a male cultivator who was about 30 years old and had reached the Great Perfection level in the Qi Refining Period, waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.

Seeing Li Fan coming back, the male cultivator looked happy and walked over, taking three steps at a time.

"I've met Senior Li."

"I am Liang Zhuo, the messenger next to Elder Xu Hua'an of the Alliance. Elder Xu heard that Senior Li was staying at the Shang Hotel and wanted to pay a visit, but he was worried that doing so would be a bit abrupt, so he asked me to come here first to say hello to you. ."

"And Elder Xu asked me to give these items to you."

Liang Zhuo said.

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his body and handed over a contract written on leather paper.

Li Fan was a little surprised.

When he communicated with Gao Yueqing yesterday, he mentioned this elder Xu Hua'an.

This person is the elder of the Rogue Cultivators Alliance and the most powerful one in the Elders Association.

He is already over 170 years old, has supported many juniors, and has the largest say in the alliance.

Li Fan never thought that Xu Hua'an would send someone to find him.

He took the letter and opened it and took a look.

“Hearing that Li Daoyou is a talented person, Xu wanted to meet him in person.

Along with this letter, I send you a small gift. Fellow Taoist, please do not refuse.

Xu Hua'an's handwriting. "

The letter was quite brief.

Li Fan was curious, so he took the parchment contract and took a look at it.

At this sight, he was even more surprised.

"It's actually a spiritual land title deed?" Li Fan said.

On the paper is a land deed for spiritual fields, which are connected to the upper class spiritual fields on Lingsha Island, totaling ten acres.

Li Fan felt more and more strange in his heart.

Xu Hua'an is much higher than Li Fan now, both in terms of strength and status. Logically speaking, there is no need to please Li Fan, let alone give gifts.

Ten acres of spiritual land costs 120 spiritual stones per acre on Wangxian Island. There are third-level spiritual veins here on Lingsha Island, and the price of high-quality spiritual fields will not be less than [-] spiritual stones per acre.

Xu Hua'an came up and gave him the title deed to ten acres of spiritual fields. The fields were connected together and were worth at least two thousand spiritual stones.

That's a lot.

This is true even for monks in the foundation building stage.

Li Fan doesn't think the spirit stone is hot, but he always thinks more than others, that is, what is Elder Xu Hua'an going to do?
Pull him into the casual training alliance and let multiple people vote?
No, Xu Hua'an is already the most powerful member of the Elder Council in the casual cultivator alliance and has the largest number of supporters.

I haven't heard of Xu Hua'an giving spiritual fields to other foundation-building monks.

If this is not the case, then what is he trying to do?
There has to be a reason for giving gifts, right?

Li Fan thought for a moment and said, "I saw the letter. As for the gift, I accept it with my heart. You take it back first."

"No merit, no reward, and I haven't seen Elder Xu. It's hard for me to accept the land deed."

Hearing this, Liang Zhuo suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Li, please don't make things difficult for me."

"If you don't accept this gift, Elder Xu will definitely think that I am not doing things well, and then I might be put in another category in Elder Xu's heart."

"Please weigh it, and even if you don't accept it, I can leave it with you first. Later, after the elders' meeting is over, they will come to visit in person. Senior, you can have a detailed chat with him then."

"I also begged Senior Li to accept it. Junior begged."

Liang Zhuo immediately bowed deeply.

Seeing this, Li Fan thought for a while and said, "That's all, I won't make it difficult for you."

"Leave the land deed here for now. Elder Xu and I will discuss this matter face to face."

Li Fan felt that Liang Zhuo was giving gifts and doing things with thoughtful etiquette. There was no need to embarrass someone who was doing something specific.

As for what Elder Xu has in mind, whether he wants to get something from Li Fan, we will discuss it later. At present, it seems that Xu Huaan is kind-hearted rather than malicious.

"Thank you, senior, for your consideration." Liang Zhuo bowed deeply again.

After Liang Zhuo finished his work, he left first.

Li Fan entered the plum blossom courtyard, and the maid brought fruits and spiritual tea. Li Fan enjoyed some while thinking about what Xu Hua'an was going to do.

So, about two quarters of an hour later.

"Friend Daoist Li!" A voice as loud as a bell sounded outside the Plum Blossom Courtyard.

Li Fan also sensed someone coming from outside. He stood up and faced the door.

Liang Zhuo was seen walking over accompanied by an old man with white beard and hair.

When Li Fan met this person, he immediately recalled his impression.

A year ago in Lingchahai City, on the night when Xu Yang, the elder of the Xu family, was attacked and killed, it was this old man who accompanied Yi Chaosheng and advised Xu Xinzhi of the Xu family not to be impulsive.

At that time, Li Fan mainly paid attention to Yi Chaosheng, but did not take a closer look at the old man.

Now when I saw him, he was wearing a white robe, and his beard and hair were all white. He was tall and strong, not like an old man, but like a man in his prime. His face was quite ruddy, and his demeanor could not tell that he was actually 170 years old. His voice sounded like It is as powerful as a bell.

Seeing Li Fan, the man laughed loudly and said: "I am Xu Hua'an. I met fellow Taoist Li a year ago in Haishi. You saved the Jade Fairy Yi Xixuan. At that time, I felt that you must be extraordinary. "

"I just found out today that fellow Taoist Li has been keeping a low profile and has been close to establishing the foundation for a long time. Now that he has made a breakthrough and built the foundation of the immortal path, it is really gratifying and congratulatory!" Li Fan smiled and said: "Thanks to Senior Yi Chaosheng for the pointer, I That’s how we achieved today.”

"My previous accumulation is that when people are under the roof, sometimes they need to lower their heads. I don't want to cause trouble, so I don't show my realm. It's not that I want to hide it from Senior Xu."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li, you are so humble, so humble." Xu Hua'an laughed heartily.

Li Fan calmly washed away his biggest doubts, and then welcomed Xu Hua'an into the Plum Blossom Courtyard.

Liang Zhuo realized something and did not come in. Instead, he walked outside to avoid the conversation.

Li Fan was polite and gave way to Xu Hua'an.

The two of them sat down and after chatting for a while, Li Fan got straight to the point and asked Xu Huaan his doubts.

"Li came to the treasure land for the first time, but he didn't bring any help to Elder Xu. I don't know why Elder Xu gave me ten acres of spiritual land?"

"No merit will be rewarded, so I asked him directly, does Elder Xu need me, Li, to do anything?"

Xu Hua'an laughed loudly and said, "Fellow Taoist Li is also a happy person."

"In that case, I'll just say it straight."

"Fellow Daoist Li, I have something to ask you."

Xu Huaan leaned forward slightly and asked:

"I heard that Taoist monks are going to Wandao Sect to become disciples. Is this true?"

Li Fan nodded and said, "I have this plan."

Xu Hua'an nodded and continued to ask: "What happened last time in Lingchahai City, fellow Taoist Li was favored by Elder Yi Chao of Wandao Sect. I think it is a sure shot to become a disciple of Wandao Sect this time, right?"

Li Fan thought about it for a moment and said, "I can't say it's a sure thing, but I do have some confidence."

"That's it!" Xu Hua'an said loudly.

"Elder Xu is looking for me because of the Wandao Sect?" Li Fan asked.

"Yes!" Xu Hua'an was a little excited, his face even more rosy.

"To be honest, when Xu asked fellow Taoist Li this time, it was actually for the sake of his descendants." Xu Hua'an said.

He let out a long sigh and said: "Back then, when I was 33 years old, I established my foundation. I already had a reputation here in Luo Xing Sea. I thought very highly of myself and was arrogant... Back then, I actually had the opportunity to enter the Ten Thousand Dao Sect, but I blamed myself for being too young and energetic. I felt that The Wandao Sect is nothing, and when I go there, I am just an ordinary disciple, how can I be so carefree and happy here in Luo Xing Islands?"

"Because of this, I did not choose to enter the Ten Thousand Dao Sect, but have been staying in the Luo Xing Islands, and I have made a name for myself."

"However, when I live to my age, I realize that everything is futile. The only way to become immortal is to live forever."

"It's a pity that I chose the wrong path back then. If I want to look back now, I have missed the opportunity and have no choice."

"I am already 170 years old this year, and the deadline is not long away. And my qualifications can only support me to the late stage of foundation building. There is no hope for the golden elixir."

Xu Hua'an's face showed melancholy and said: "I have missed the opportunity and made the wrong choice. I cannot let my juniors follow my old path."

"Not many of my sons or grandsons are successful, but they have given me two good great-grandsons."

"My great-grandson Xu Yuwu and great-granddaughter Xu Yuyao are twin brothers and sisters. They are both born with the twin spiritual roots of water and wood, and both have excellent foundations.

"Both of their children are now 22 years old, which is a good age."

"I have made a decision. This coincides with the time when Wandao Sect recruits disciples every 30 years. I am going to send them to Wandao Sect for cultivation. In the future, maybe they can inherit my Xu family's business, or they can forge golden elixirs."

"If this is the case, it can ensure the stability of my Xu family for thousands of years."

Li Fan heard something about Xu Hua'an's confession.

"Elder Xu, can you just tell me what you want me to do for you?" Li Fan asked.

"Oh, it's actually about my great-grandson and great-granddaughter," Xu Hua'an said. "They two are extremely talented. I'm not worried about Wandao Sect accepting disciples. Their qualifications are enough to enter the inner sect."

"It's just that I don't know many connections in Wandao Sect, and senior Yi Chaosheng's status is too high for me to reach. Thinking that my two juniors also need all kinds of training in Wandao Sect, I'm worried about these two children I can’t stand it.”

"I met fellow Taoist Li this time just because I knew you were going to Wandao Sect to become a disciple, and fellow Taoist is powerful enough to become a direct disciple within the sect."

"If that's the case, I would like to ask fellow Taoist to take more care of my great-grandson and great-granddaughter. These ten acres of spiritual land are just a little thought. If fellow Taoist agrees, I will regularly entrust the output and income of the spiritual field to others in the future. If you send it to Wandao Sect to fellow Taoist, you will definitely be thanked in other ways in the future, and I, Xu Hua'an, will be your friend, fellow Taoist, for as long as I live."

Li Fan smiled when he heard this.

That's what happened.

I just thought too much.

Li Fan said: "Senior Xu, it is not a sure thing for me to enter the Wandao Sect..."

Xu Hua'an immediately said: "Even if Taoist friend unfortunately fails to become a disciple, I will not take back these ten acres of spiritual land. When Taoist friends settle on Lingcha Island, they must have some property of their own. If the apprenticeship does not go well, then go back On Lingcha Island, wouldn’t it be wonderful to be an elder in the Rogue Cultivator Alliance?”

Li Fan laughed.

He saw what Xu Huaan was thinking.

If Li Fan accepts the ten acres of spiritual land, then if everything goes well, Xu Hua'an will find a backer among the Ten Thousand Daosmen for his junior. If things don't go well, Li Fan will probably join the Loose Cultivators Alliance when he returns to Lingcha Island. And he was too embarrassed not to join Xu Hua'an's faction. In that case, Xu Hua'an would have spent ten acres of spiritual land to kill someone and strengthen his position.

It’s not a loss either way.

Of course, this is not bad for Li Fan, but it can achieve a win-win situation with Xu Hua'an.

After Li Fan thought about it clearly, he did not reject it and said: "Then I would like to thank you, senior, for your kindness."

"Hahaha, it's just ten acres of spiritual land, why bother!" Seeing Li Fan agree, Xu Hua'an laughed loudly.

...

As an important veteran of the alliance, Xu Hua'an had a lot of things to do. After visiting Li Fan, he left.

He made an appointment with Li Fan. Two days later, Li Fan and another foundation-building monk who wanted to try their luck at Wandao Gate would go to Zihua Mountain where Wandao Gate was located through the teleportation formation on Lingcha Island.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened.

After Li Fan drank some spiritual tea, he left the hotel again.

He wanted to meet someone for the last time in Yangsu City.

It was Ren Yuanjing, the alchemist in the middle of the foundation building period.

It takes less than two sticks of incense.

Li Fan took the famous assassination given by Ren Yuanjing and came to a mansion.

This place is not far from the hotel, just walking south on Yangsu Street. It is also considered the core area of ​​Yangsu City, but it is quieter than other places.

The mansion in front of Li Fan was also quite grand, with the two characters "Ren Mansion" written on the door plaque.

Li Fan knocked on the door and asked the boy in the house to give him a famous assassination. After a while, the boy introduced Li Fan into the house.

Li Fan came all the way to the alchemy room.

The alchemy room is a house in the mansion, but there is nothing in the house. There is an alchemy room underground.

When Li Fan walked in, Alchemist Ren was sitting in front of a huge alchemy furnace that was five feet wide and half a person tall, using his spiritual power to activate the flames.

Just when Li Fan stepped into the alchemy room, there was a crisp sound like exploding beans from the alchemy furnace.

It was Dancheng's voice.
