Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 381 Clash with the Head of the Li Family (Third Update)

After dinner, Xiaoying and the others, led by the Li family's servants, went to their respective pre-arranged guest rooms.

Now, only Jerry and the head of the Li family remain in the living room, sitting face to face and drinking tea.

"Mr. Carmen, thank you so much for taking care of Little Wolf all this time!"

The head of the Li family spoke sincerely to Jerry.

When Li Xiaolang returned this time, she found that both his magical power and spells had increased significantly. Clearly, what Li Xiaolang had described on the phone before was not an exaggeration at all.

Jerry put down his green tea and smiled:

"You flatter me, Master. It wasn't really a favor; we each got what we needed, and everyone benefited!"

The head of the Li family nodded and did not continue the topic, because she understood that what the other party said was true, but she personally felt that her side had gained a great advantage.

After all, most of the Taoist books she sent to Little Wolf were basic Taoist books, not particularly valuable, and any Taoist sect with a lineage could produce them.

The only thing that could be considered precious was probably the Li family's cultivation method, "The Secret Manual of Returning to the Distant Land," which was later improved by the other party into the even better "The Longevity Manual" and returned to them.

Regardless of whether it's true that one can achieve immortality by cultivating to a certain level, the faster cultivation efficiency and the improvement to the cultivator's body alone make it a huge win.

Furthermore, the little wolf also had the opportunity to learn Western magic, following the path that Clow Reed once walked.

"I heard from my son that Mr. Carmen has a great interest in Taoist magic and weapon crafting?"

"Indeed, the patriarch should know that the reason why the legendary magician Mr. Clow Reed is so powerful is because he combined Chinese and Western magic."

"And I, though unworthy, also wish to see the view from that height, and naturally have a great interest in the Taoist arts, especially those profound Taoist arts that you mentioned earlier, Master."

Jerry didn't hide anything and revealed his thoughts very directly.

In this situation, there's no need for so much beating around the bush. What he's trying to say is very simple: you're right, I came here because of your family's profound Taoist arts and weapon-refining skills.

Since it was originally the Li family that extended the invitation, it's better to be direct now, let them know that he has the intention to cooperate, and then quickly state his own conditions to reach a cooperation agreement and move to the next stage.

The Li family patriarch was not surprised by Jerry's answer; instead, a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Since Mr. Carmen is interested, you can stay here for a while longer. You are welcome to browse all the Taoist books in the Li family. If there is anything you don't understand, you can also discuss it with me."

As for the art of weapon forging, several elders of my Li family are highly skilled in it and are very willing to guide you in your studies.

"Thank you very much!"

Jerry smiled upon hearing this.

Although he knew that the Li family had invited him and that there wouldn't be many obstacles on the trip, he didn't expect them to be so generous, giving him everything he wanted in one go.

Next, it depends on what conditions the other party proposes. He can roughly guess and is somewhat prepared, so there's not much of a problem.

However, to Jerry's surprise, after the Li family patriarch finished speaking, he did not continue the topic, but instead talked to him about Taoist magic.

Jerry was very willing to exchange Taoist teachings. Given the Taoist level of the Li family patriarch, Jerry would definitely benefit greatly from exchanging Taoist teachings with her.

However, the conversation continued until dark, and it was almost time for everyone to go home and sleep, but the head of the Li family still hadn't made any demands, which left him somewhat puzzled.

The less the other party mentioned conditions, the more Jerry felt they had bigger schemes. So, when the Li family head suggested ending the event, he took the initiative to ask:

"Patriarch, you are willing to open up all the Li family's Taoist books to me and also teach me the art of weapon refining. I wonder if there are any conditions?"

For example, I could send a few copies of "The Book of Carmen," just like I helped Meiling, so that some of the less qualified children in the Li family could learn Taoist arts.

"Mr. Carmen, you are too kind. You have been guiding my son in learning Western magic, and you have also given Meiling the aptitude to learn Taoist magic. You are a friend of the Li family."

Our Li family has always been very generous to our friends; we don't require any conditions!

The head of the Li family spoke firmly, seemingly indicating that he truly had no intention of making any demands on Jerry.

Jerry hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but finally bowed respectfully to the head of the Li family.

"Then thank you very much for your kindness, Patriarch!"

The head of the Li family is powerful, and as a Taoist priest, he must have a deep understanding of the soul and spirit. He couldn't rashly use the Soul-Seizing Technique on her to read her thoughts and see what her purpose was.

However, since the other party was so generous and sincere, he didn't think too much about it for the time being and just assumed that the other party genuinely considered him a friend.

In any case, in the face of absolute strength, everything else is insignificant. If Li Jiazhen has any ill intentions towards him, he can naturally suppress them with force.

While the Li family patriarch is indeed powerful, that's only within this world. Compared to Jerry, he's still considerably weaker.

"Mr. Carmen, you're too kind!"

The head of the Li family looked at Jerry and replied naturally.

The Li family is not a charity, and it involves core Taoist techniques and weapon crafting skills. How could they easily pass them on to outsiders? Therefore, the head of the Li family naturally had his own motives.

First of all, based on Li Xiaolang's and her own observations today, Jerry, this magician, is currently at the top level in this world. The key is that he is still so young, and he really has the opportunity to reach the heights of Clow Reed in the future.

The Li family has made such a powerful friend; if any problems arise in the future, they will have a strong ally.

Secondly, according to her analysis, Jerry, this foreign magician, is definitely the kind of person who repays kindness tenfold, as can be seen from his interactions with Li Xiaolang.

Li Xiaolang only contributed a portion of the basic Taoist books, while Jerry not only brought out more than ten times the number of magic books, but many of them contained extremely powerful magic, making them quite precious.

Furthermore, Jerry would record any new magic he invented so that Li Xiaolang and the others could learn it. He even developed a precious magic book that allowed ordinary people to cast spells, which he gave to Li Meiling.

The head of the Li family understood perfectly well that as long as you give selflessly, he will only give you more in return.

Finally, there's one more thing: with so many beautiful daughters, if Jerry stays in the Li family a little longer, he might just take a liking to one and keep her permanently in the Li family.

By then, the whole person will belong to the Li family, so what conditions are there to discuss?

"What's going on? Such powerful magic!"

Just as the Li family patriarch and Jerry were saying goodbye and preparing to end their conversation, a very powerful magical fluctuation suddenly came from outside.
