Slow and immortal

Chapter 112

Chapter 111

Hearing the "Land of Flames", Lu Buqun's eyes lit up first, and then he sneered in his heart: The Ji family really made a big deal this time. I think the senior brother who was the head of the family came to the door to offer generous conditions on behalf of the Xianyu Sect, in order to let myself After a month of training in that "Land of Flames", the other party flatly refused on the grounds that outsiders were not allowed to enter the family's important place, which was very embarrassing.This time it's a good thing, not only is he willing to lend out the "Land of Flames", he is even willing to give up a quarter of the Dongshan Spirit Mine. His disciple is unexpectedly hot!

But how could he, Lu Buqun, use his own disciple as a stepping stone? That day the Longyang Taoist bid a high price for that book of Leifa formulas, which already made him quite displeased.The old ghosts of the Ji family are old, treacherous and cunning people. They never do business at a loss. They are afraid that they are willing to spend their money because they can extract more benefits from him. Their true intentions are very suspicious.

So he continued to sip his tea and said unhurriedly: "My apprentice is only in the mid-term of Jindan, and his aptitude is not very good now. The Ji family actually offered such a generous offer. Don't you think it's strange?"

Taoist Xuankong was silent for a while, then looked out of the hall and said solemnly: "Two days ago, after discussions with the four sects, three families and the Sanxiu League, it was finally decided that the small spiritual mine newly discovered in Lize should be owned by the Ji family. "

"What?!" Lu Buqun was also taken aback when he heard that, "Didn't the Little Spirit Mine be discovered just now? Although the spirit veins are not big, but Li Ze belongs to the border of the ancient Taigu mainland, not any one's sphere of influence. It is jointly owned by several factions, why did they decide to transfer it to the Ji family in such a short period of time?!"

"Just when Junior Brother was going to participate in the auction, several major factions had a meeting, and I don't know what benefits the Ji family gave to the other few factions. When voting, except for our school and the Xiushan faction, all other forces agreed. It is already a firm matter, and any objection now will be invalid."

"However, Lize belongs to the border of Taigu and is close to Yanhai. If you want to monopolize this spiritual mine, you must drive out the Yanhai monsters that occupy the land. It will take a lot of manpower and effort for the Ji family to win Lize by themselves. Material and financial resources, so..."

He gave Lu Buqun a meaningful look, "Your disciple is proficient in refining weapons? I heard that she is well-known in the tool refining industry, and there are even rumors that she was lucky enough to worship the 'Tianlian Daoist' of the Tool Refining Sect as her." Master, is the only direct disciple under his seat. For the current Ji family, it is the time when a powerful master of refining equipment is urgently needed to join in, so as to forge a large number of magic weapons for him to fight against monsters. Junior brother, this reason is sufficient ?”

Lu Buqun listened quietly without making a sound. He also understood in his heart that the spirit mine is the most important foundation of the sect. The Ji family can get this mine this time, regardless of the amount of ore it produces. In the final analysis, it is still an important resource. The status of the Ji family in the Taigu Continent has improved to a certain extent, and it is understandable for my senior brother to make friends with the Ji family out of consideration for the sect.But from the bottom of his heart, he felt that things were not so simple, and his intuition told him that the Ji family's plot was not limited to this!
His silence was in Xuankong's eyes, so he thought that his junior brother was shaken, and continued to persuade: "Junior brother, this Xiaoyao is not only your precious disciple, but also an elite disciple in my sect. As a master of my sect, Xuankong If the Ji family sent someone here, I would definitely not consider it. But Ji Hao, you have seen it before, with his current aptitude and cultivation speed, one day he will become the leader of the Ji family. It may not be impossible for the Lord, it can be said that Xiao Yao and him become a Taoist partner, which has a lot of benefits and no harm. Look..."

"Brother, don't say any more," Lu Buqun finally interrupted him, "Forgive me, brother, I can't make the decision about this marriage. The marriage of a Taoist couple should be voluntary, and there is no way to force it. If Xiao Yao is willing, My master naturally agrees with both hands. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her. Brother, it's better to ask my apprentice personally, but in my opinion, it's useless to ask. If she yearns for the Dao wholeheartedly It is absolutely impossible to agree."

"This..." Xuankong was a little embarrassed, "Junior brother can't persuade you, this disciple, this matter is by no means a bad thing for her or the sect, besides, I have heard of her reputation outside, how can the other party be so magnanimous? It can be seen that her sincerity is sincere, and she has my support behind her, so she will never be bullied at all when she is married."

Hearing his senior brother talk about the rumors about Xiao Yao's broken alchemy, Lu Buqun's face turned ugly, "Senior brother! Monks pay attention to realm cultivation, how can those worldly short-sightedness be applied to monks?! It's these people who still pay attention It's really ridiculous to follow the vulgar rule that women who enter the sect must be innocent! Brother, you don't need to lobby anymore, I will never force my disciples to do things that I don't like, and I also hope that the sect will not put pressure on her, especially Threate me with my cultivation." After that, he glanced at his senior brother with an expression that everyone knew.

Just this one look made Xuankong's face a little embarrassed, seeing that he was not letting go, he really wanted to talk to that Xiao Yao, but he didn't think that his junior brother could see through all his little thoughts.

Leaving aside the interests of the sect, his younger brother has a higher talent and understanding than himself, but because the opportunity has not come, he has stayed in the late Yuanying stage for a long time. If he can get the demon cultivator pill in the early stage of the fire attribute transformation, he can go to the "Land of Flame" to retreat Practice, there is a great chance to break through the late Nascent Soul and reach the realm of false gods!How could he be so foolish as to give up a chance to reach the other shore?

Thinking about it like this, Xuankong was a little annoyed at the moment, "I didn't do this for you and the sect?! This opportunity is rare, if you miss it, there may not be a next time! For that Xiaoyao, this is also a good thing, It's not to harm her! Why do you just refuse to open your mind?"

Ignoring his anger, Lu Buqun drank the last sip of tea, then stood up and said, "Cultivating the Tao means sticking to your heart and practicing hard. As long as you do these two things, you will not be too far away from the Dao. How can you get it, brother?" Do you know that if you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time? And the fact that the fire attribute demon pill did not appear in this auction also shows that the opportunity has not yet arrived. My junior privately believes that sticking to the heart is the right way, and I have made up my mind that I will not do it again. Change. Senior brother, farewell."

"Junior Brother!" Taoist Xuankong saw that he was so stubborn, so he had to grit his teeth with a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Okay, Junior Brother Qinggao sticks to his heart and doesn't want to lobby, that can only be done by Senior Brother and me, regardless of success or failure. If not, at least ask Xiao Yao to give the Ji family an explanation."

"Senior brother..." Lu Buqun stopped and looked back at him, frowning.

"Don't worry, I don't bother to do such nasty things as coercing the juniors in my family. I just ask her what she really thinks. Since the junior brother doesn't want to interfere, don't bother with the rest. I have my own discretion. You go away." Bar."

Lu Buqun finally took a deep look at his senior brother who is the head of the sect, and knew that he is a man who keeps his word, and everything he does is for the sect and his bad-tempered junior brother, so he nodded and said: "Junior brother is stubborn, Senior brother, please don’t blame me, senior brother has to worry about everything.”

The moment before Xiao Yao was summoned to Lianhua Peak, she was reciting the formula of Lei Fa in her cave.After receiving the sound transmission talisman from the head, she was also quite strange, what happened to make the head summon him.

With an uneasy heart, she followed the instructions in the sound transmission talisman and came to a side hall of Xuankong Taoist mansion on Lotus Peak.When the servants led her in, Taoist Xuankong was already sitting on the main seat in the side hall.

Xiao Yao didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately saluted respectfully, "Disciple Xiao Yao, I have met the master."

Seeing her salute, Xuankong nodded slightly to express his understanding, "Get up, it's not a big deal to call you here today, and the old man will make a long story short. Two days ago, the Ji family sent someone to tell the old man about marrying my disciples. And this time the other party is marrying Ji Hao, who is well-known in the world of cultivating immortals. He hopes to form a couple of cultivators with you. In the eyes of this old man, this is a happy marriage, but from your master's point of view, this matter is still up to you You make up your own mind, and I don’t know what you want?”

Xiao Yao's expression changed after the words of the master. She had just stood up and immediately knelt down and said earnestly: "This disciple is dedicated to the Tao, and has always been indifferent to other things. Please let the master tell the Ji family on behalf of the disciple. Good luck, please find another good relationship."

Even if she knelt down, none of the subtle expressions escaped the eyes of Xuan Kong. Although the panicked expression of the woman in front of her was only for a moment, he still captured it. It seems that what the junior brother said was true.

However, he is not such a person who gives up easily, so he was sitting upright suddenly, his eyes showing majesty, and his whole body showed the aura of a master, "Xiao Yao, there are only you and me here now, so there is no need to talk about these scenes, what the old man wants to know It’s your real idea! It’s the dream of so many female cultivators to become a Taoist couple with such a talented and promising hero like Ji Hao. It’s just a written rejection, but they will be regarded as looking down on them, and they may even be rejected Bring disaster to the sect."

Even though Xiao Yao lowered her head and couldn't see the master's expression, she could still feel the faint coercion, and her palms were covered in cold sweat.

"Returning to the head of the sect, since there is no one else here, the disciple said it bluntly. It is true that Ji Hao is a dragon among men, and there is no one in ten thousand. But he is naturally feminine, and he has several concubines in his family. To be a good companion of a Taoist companion. The most important thing is that the disciple is naturally not fond of restraint, and even less willing to rely on others. If the disciple does not want to marry, please let the sect master do it!"

When she raised her head again, the panicked expression on her face had already receded, replaced by a determined expression, Xuankong could see that no matter how much he tried to change her mind, there would be no results, just like her It is said that Ji Hao really likes beautiful women very much.

Looking at Xiao Yao again, he had no choice but to sigh, "Forget it, for nothing, as the younger brother said, this is a matter of mutual consent, and it cannot be forced. You can go down. This marriage, I will refuse it for you. It's just a pity. Junior brother, alas..."

Hearing that the sect master no longer forced herself, Xiao Yao hurriedly got up and thanked her as if she had received an amnesty: "Thank you for the master's success! If there is nothing else, this disciple will leave now."

"Well, you go down." The matter did not come to an end, Xuan Kong was also a little absent-minded, and waved his hand casually to signal him to leave.

When she heard that she could leave, Xiao Yao immediately slipped away faster than a rabbit, for fear that the master would suddenly change her mind. Before leaving, she could still hear him muttering words such as "junior brother" and "chance" to himself.

Outside the Lotus Peak, Xiao Yao didn't relax because she had temporarily escaped the crisis. Even if the head of the family agreed to reject the Ji family, she still felt like a shadow was shrouded in her heart, and she couldn't shake it off no matter what.Several questions were circling in his mind.

Why did Ji Hao want to form a Taoist couple with himself?

Even if the sect came forward, would he really be willing to compromise?

What is his ultimate goal?
With a gloomy face, she raised her head and looked towards the horizon: patches of dark clouds were densely covered, and there was a tendency of heavy rain. The sky above her head seemed not to be flat!
