Chapter 2 Ascension Conference
In the early morning, just after dawn, a small courtyard in Laohuai Village was already brightly lit. Li Gan and Li Kun, who had talked last night, were standing in the courtyard, with carriages and horses and yesterday's group behind them.
But in this group of people, there was a dark-skinned boy named Li Yi, wearing gray coarse clothes. Li Yi was not very old, only eleven or twelve years old.
After the conversation last night, his parents found him and said that they wanted him to go to the city to see the world, bump into the immortal fate, and see if he could have the opportunity to cultivate immortality. They told him a series of benefits of cultivating immortality, and he agreed in a daze.
However, early this morning, he had to leave his hometown for a foreign land. At this moment, his eyes were full of reluctance, and tears were rolling in his eyes. The stubborn boy clenched his fists and never let the tears flow.
After a reluctant farewell, Li Yi boarded the carriage for a long journey.
Li Kun clasped his fists and said, "Brother, take care of yourselves, sister-in-law." He then got on the horse, pulled the reins and left.
At this moment, he was very satisfied, holding a brocade box in his arms, and in the brocade box was the blood ginseng he asked for yesterday. He had thought that it would take some effort to get it, but he didn't expect to get it easily. He just took one more person to try the immortal fate, which was no loss to him.
Li Haoran, who was behind the big man, was still a little confused at this time. He had been on the road for several days in a row and had not had a good rest. Today, he had to get up early and take his rustic little cousin to participate in the Ascension Meeting. He felt a little unhappy.
At this moment, Li Yi was sitting in the carriage, curiously looking at everything inside the carriage. The interior of the carriage was not luxurious, but it was very delicately decorated.
At this moment, a pleasant voice came to his ears, "Come, Xiaoyi, come to your aunt."
Li Yi nodded obediently and sat next to the middle-aged beautiful woman Yu Meilan. Looking at this very beautiful second aunt. Li Yi felt a little uncomfortable and even a little nervous.
The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Li Yi's expression and smiled gently, "Xiao Yi, don't be nervous. We are all family. Come and chat with aunt."
"Yeah." Li Yi nodded again and responded.
That's it. Li Yi and the beautiful woman slowly started chatting. Yu Meilin was very good at talking. Soon, Li Yi and her started chatting quite warmly.
A few days later. Li Yi and his party arrived at an inn in a dusty state. Li Kun jumped off the horse with a light jump.
Then, he came to the front of the carriage and said, "Xiao Yi, Meilin, get off quickly. Let's go to the inn in front and have a good rest. Then, we will go to see the Ascension Conference. I heard that it is very lively there."
Hearing about the Ascension Conference, Li Haoran, who was listless behind him, immediately said excitedly, "Yes, Dad, I can't wait to go."
However, Li Kun said, "Not now, go and have a rest, change into clean clothes, and we'll go tomorrow."
At this time, the inn was full of people, some were chatting happily, and some were sighing and looking out the window. It was the first time that Li Yi saw an inn with so many people, and he looked around curiously.
As soon as they walked into the inn, they heard a middle-aged, fat man say, "Hey, isn't this Boss Li? You are also here to participate in the Ascension Conference, but you are late!".
"Yes, I went to my eldest brother's house on the way and picked up my nephew. I came a little late, but fortunately I caught up." Li Kun said happily.
Because they had been traveling for several days in a row, they were very tired. That night, Li Yi and others simply ate some food and fell asleep.
When they woke up, it was already noon.
Li Yi touched his rumbling stomach, opened the door and prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat. As soon as he arrived at the lobby of the inn, he saw his second uncle Li Kun, second aunt Yu Meilian and cousin Li Haoran's family sitting in the lobby, eating and chatting. As for the black-clothed man who came with him, he was not here.
Seeing Li Yi coming downstairs, Li Kun immediately greeted him warmly and said, "Xiao Yi, come and eat quickly. I saw you were still sleeping this morning, so I didn't wake you up. You must be hungry!"
As he said that, he got up and brought you a chair and a set of bowls and chopsticks, and put them on the table, very enthusiastic.
"Second uncle, second aunt, cousin, good morning." Li Yi said very obediently, and then sat at the table and started eating. During this time, Li Kun and his wife asked him about his well-being, and Li Haoran also chatted with him briefly.
After dinner. The beautiful woman brought you a set of clean clothes and a pair of brand new leather boots. Li Yi changed his clothes and immediately felt much more energetic.
But he still looked very ordinary. Not as heroic as Li Haoran. Touching the brand new clothes on his body. Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Li Yi was very satisfied with his outfit.
After changing clothes, Li Kun took Li Yi and Li Haoran out. Walking on the street outside the inn, Li Yi felt very novel about everything around him, because this was something that was not available in Laohuai Village.
On both sides of the street, there were all kinds of stalls and vendors, and the stall owners were selling their goods. There were shops lined up on both sides of the street, and people often came in and out.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods and various delicacies, Li Yi was overwhelmed.
However, at this moment, more people were like them. They walked out of the city in groups of three or five. Basically, they were an adult with a few boys and girls.
Shortly after leaving the city, Li Yi saw a tall flagpole in the open valley, with the words "Shengxian Conference" written on it.
There are five huge platforms around the valley, and there is a sign on one of the platforms. There are three characters "Tianyue Sect" written on it. The others are Shen Dao Sect, Tian Qiao Sect, Fire Spirit Valley, and Ice and Snow Palace.
Li Kun was a little excited and led Li Yi and others towards the high platform where Tianyue Sect was located. There was already a long queue in front of the high platform. There was a young man in Tsing Yi beside the high platform, maintaining order.
The young man in green frowned and looked at the noisy crowd. His face gradually darkened. He even likes to ignore people who come up to talk to him, and even scolds and retreats.
Seeing this, Li Kun showed a happy expression. He immediately walked up to the young man in green and bowed deeply. He opened his mouth and said: "Master Immortal Master, the villain Li Kun, with his dog and nephew, came to participate in the selection of disciples of your sect."
Seeing the person who came to jump in line, the young man in green immediately said angrily: "I don't care who you are, hurry up and queue up at the back. If you jump in line again, you will be disqualified from participating. Get out."
Seeing Li Kun being scolded, the people lining up around him sneered with joy at his misfortune.
Li Kun looked at the angry young man, but he was not angry. Instead, he said cheerfully: "Master Immortal, don't be angry. I know Master Wu here, and I have a treasure to dedicate to the Immortal."
With that said, Li Kun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the young man very respectfully. The young man was stunned for a moment, then took the letter suspiciously and did not open it.
Just as he took the letter, the young man had two small crystal clear stones in his hands. Looking at the small stone in his hand, the young man felt happy. The expression on his face also took a 180-degree turn.
Then, he chuckled and said: "Since I know Master Wu Xian, there is no need to queue up, come with me!".
After finishing speaking, he led Li Yi and others onto the high platform. The people lining up around them all cast envious glances at them, and the expression on the face of the person who just laughed became very exciting.
