Daqizong

In Washington, because Huaxuan came back, there were lights and festoons everywhere, beaming with joy.

Hua Xuan came back to meet his parents and relatives, and arranged for the attendants he brought along.

The Hua family produced a genius like him, who has grown in power and wealth over the years. All of this is naturally done by the stewards and servants of the mansion.

Huaxuan personally greeted all the elders and celebrated with a banquet.

After drinking for three rounds, Hua Xuan asked everyone with a little drunkenness: "Elders, I saw in your letter that you said it was urgent, what's going on?"

Huaxuan has been cultivating skills under Master An for these years, and he doesn't care much about the affairs of the workshop, but his roots are in the workshop after all, and his parents and relatives are also the craftsmen, stewards, and deacons of the elder lineage. No matter what, the fetters continued to be parted, and as soon as they received the urgent mail from the elders, they rushed back.

Up to now, he doesn't know Li Wan very well, he only knows that he is a newcomer who has just joined the workshop for a few years.

Hearing Hua Xuan mention Li Wan, the faces of Elder Gu and the others immediately darkened.

Especially Elder Rong, who suffered a small loss at the hands of Li Wan and lost a disciple, was even more embarrassed.

Elder Gu said: "This boy is indeed talented and has grown very fast. I am afraid that his background is quite extraordinary. We accidentally made him a celebrity. Now he is also a famous teacher and expert, and he dares to covet the position of enshrined Well, our trip is not to prevent him from obtaining this title, but to take this opportunity to let those people who are swaying left and right take a good look at the strength of our elders, let them know that in this workshop In the middle, whoever said it counts!

If the nephew can win this enshrined position, when the time is right in the future, he will be able to take over the position of elder logically.

On the other hand, if the eldest lady succeeds, it will be difficult for us to arrange worship or even elders in the next few years, which will be of great disadvantage to us. "

Elder Rong also said: "Nephew should be aware that offerings can be separated from the workshop, control the field by themselves, and can cultivate apprentices and handymen. The relationship is far more than that of an ordinary guest official. We will not fight for this position. You will suffer a loss, this is a trade-off."

Hua Xuan said: "This junior understands, but I don't know what to do now?"

Elder Gu said: "Don't worry, your family has served in the workshop for generations. This alone is countless times higher than that of Li Wan. We are justified in asking you to enshrine, but the eldest lady will definitely not give up. Move out to Li Wan to fight with you, all you have to do is to use the skills you learned from Master An to completely defeat your opponent!

In terms of background, your family has been here for generations, and everyone in the workshop should support you. In terms of qualifications, although you have always been under the disciple of Master An, all the magic weapons you have refined have been handed over to Tiangong Workshop for sale. As a work piece, in terms of contribution, you are a disciple of Master An, you have contacted the great families in the south and west of the sky, and you have won dozens of contracts and supplied tens of thousands of magic tools, which are far more than that of Li Wan!Moreover, you are also young and promising, with extraordinary strength, I want to see, then why does Li Wan compete with you! "

When all the elders heard the words, they all smiled with their beards curled up, or stroked their palms in praise, each of them held their wisdom pearls in their hands and had a plan in mind.

They saw this matter very thoroughly. Moving out of Huaxuan, they have a huge advantage. Although the eldest lady is strong, but Li Wan joined Tiangongfang, after all, it is not long after all, so it cannot be compared with Huaxuan.

Whether it is among the elders and stewards at the upper level, or among the handymen, apprentices, and deacons at the lower level, Hua Xuan's popularity and reputation are all superior. At this point, Hua Xuan doesn't even need to surpass Li Wan in refining skills. , just a tie, or even not too far behind, is enough to squeeze out Li Wan's success.

Li Wan's only chance of winning is probably to defeat Hua Xuan with an overwhelming advantage.

However, Huaxuan's crafting skill is also very important. If he wants to be better than him, unless Li Wan can forge a real weapon, or even a precious weapon!

It is easier said than done to achieve this.

***

Li Wan, Gong Shuyuan and others planned a plan in Tongshan, borrowing Tongshan's special status, and spreading its reputation throughout the eastern part of Tiannan.

By the beginning of spring, they are also preparing to return to Tiangongfang.

At this time, the Yundang Mountain Market will start again, and Xing Tong conveniently went there to continue to contribute to Li Wan's foundation, while Li Wan and Gong Shuyuan boarded the boat back to Tiangongfang and set foot on the road. way home.

As soon as he arrived in the workshop, Li Wan felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.

"Master Li, you are back."

"Master Li is well."

"Li Daoyou, long time no see."

All the servants, apprentices, even craftsmen, and guards, when they saw Li Wan, still greeted Li Wan constantly, but there was always a bit of doubt and scrutiny in their eyes, polite and at the same time, a bit of alienation.

Everyone seemed to be worried about something.

What's more, they simply looked at it with sympathy and regret, which made Li Wan feel dazzling.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, what happened in the workshop, why is everyone a little strange?"

Li Wan found Shi Haoguang, who had been in the workshop, and asked why.

Shi Haoguang sighed: "Isn't it that Huaxuan came back and publicly announced that he would fight for the position of enshrinement? Li Daoyou, it's not that I underestimate you, it's really hopeless. I didn't know if I didn't inquire, but when I inquired, I was shocked , this Huaxuan actually possesses the aptitude of a master, and is one of the disciples of Master An who is expected to take over the mantle of his spiritual peak!"

"The robe and bowl disciple?" Li Wan had inquired about Hua Xuan's background a lot before, and he was still a little surprised to hear that Hua Xuan was Master An's robe and bowl disciple.

The mantle disciple, like Chu Shibai, is expected to become a master and take over the existence of his master's foundation.

A master can take many apprentices, including registered disciples, disciples, and house disciples, but basically these people will not take over their foundation, nor will they get the secret books at the bottom of the box. Only the disciples of the mantle and bowl will have these.

And this also means that a mantle disciple must be extremely talented and have the potential of a master, otherwise it would be nothing if he accepted it.

"Forget it, so what about the mantle disciple, the potential of a master is just potential, and I haven't really reached the level of a master. If I have the cultivation of alchemy now, even if I meet a master, I will dare to fight for the front!"

After Li Wan was stunned, he also ignited a raging fighting spirit.

He didn't care who Hua Xuan was.

Shi Haoguang didn't know where Li Wan's confidence came from, so he couldn't help sighing when he saw this.

"Let's not talk about others." Li Wan asked him with a smile, "How are you doing in the workshop these days?"

Shi Haoguang said: "It's still safe, those elders don't dare to take action easily, besides, it's useless for them to make troubles if you are not in the workshop."

Li Wan was promoted to Foundation Establishment this year, which really made his situation much better.

Now, as Li Wan's helper, he takes care of the field in the workshop. He also has a Lingyu subsidy every month, and he has free time to practice, so he lives a carefree life.

Li Wan nodded: "That's good."

On the evening of returning to Tiangongfang, the eldest lady thought that Li Wan was an excuse and invited Li Wan to come over to the house for a talk.

Li Wan happily went there, but found Gong Shuyuan, Elder Yun, Elder Mo and others in the Missy's mansion.

Li Wan said unexpectedly: "The elders are here too, they are late."

"Li Daoyou, you don't have to be polite, there are no outsiders here." Gong Shuyuan asked Li Wan to sit down in front of the desk beside him.

Li Wan glanced at the eldest lady who was sitting at the head, and saw that she was wearing a blue and yellow brocade skirt, still elegant and refined, glamorous and glamorous.

The eldest lady had a look of worry on her face, and said: "Now Li Daoyou is also present, all the elders discuss it, how should we deal with it?"

Although she didn't say it clearly, everyone knew that what she mentioned was Hua Xuan's return.

Indeed, as Elder Gu and the others had expected, once Huaxuan offered to become an enshrinement, no matter what, they would not be able to refuse.

Gong Shuyuan looked at the frowning crowd, sighed softly, and said, "I can only bite the bullet and take it. I don't think we have much to discuss. We are still building momentum and encouragement for Li Daoyou, but the last key step is to It depends on Li Daoyou himself."

The eldest lady asked: "Li Daoyou, what do you think?"

Li Wan looked around and said with a smile: "Could it be that the eldest lady and fellow Taoists feel that I am inferior to that Huaxuan?"

"Of course not, why did Li Daoyou say that?"

Li Wan sighed: "As soon as I came back, I found that everyone in the workshop seemed to feel that I had little hope. It seemed that if I met that Huaxuan, I would lose without a fight. But in fact, I really want to fight with that Huaxuan." Master Wei An's disciples will have a fight to see whose refining skills can truly be called brilliant."

Li Wan said again: "I also know that I still have many inherent shortcomings in fighting for the position of enshrined in the workshop, but these shortcomings can be made up for. As long as you can give me a chance to compete with him on the same stage, it is enough .”

In fact, from the beginning to the end, what he wanted was just an opportunity, and he was already ready to take on the rest.

Relying on Missy, Gongshuyuan and others is certainly a great help, but it is impossible to decide the fundamentals.

Gongshu Yuandao: "The matter of refining tools ultimately comes down to refining tools. Our Tiangong Workshop has always put talent first. If you are willing to fight and defeat him, you can indeed win back a lot, and even order the enshrined one The matter has been settled, but the quality of magic weapon and the level of skill are never set in one word, how can you win people's hearts and minds, without any doubts, even Elder Gu and the others have nothing to say?"

What he proposed is still difficult to judge whether the magic weapon is good or bad, and the level of refining skills also has its own interpretation.

For the same thing, as long as the judge is biased, the final result will be completely different.

Elder Yun was a little embarrassed, and said: "We can't help you too much in this regard, and you are afraid that you will suffer a loss!"
