Chapter 167: Encounter, Tensions
After that, another cultivator began to check, and then took out a small mirror, shone it on Li Yi and the other two, handed them a yellow token, and said: "There is no problem with the identities of the three Taoist friends. This is the qualification token for participating in this discussion meeting. Please keep it."
Li Yi took the token, thanked the two, and prepared to go to the market with Zhang Tie and the others. Just as they were about to leave, Li Yi suddenly heard a surprised voice, shouting: "Li Yi."
Li Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a figure at this time, which surprised him a little. He said: "Cousin."
The person Li Yi saw was none other than his cousin Li Haoran, who had participated in the Ascension Conference with him. After more than ten years, Li Haoran no longer had the immaturity and arrogance of the past. After seeing Li Yi, his face was full of joy.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing beside him, all of whom were cultivators of the Tianyue Sect, including the old man surnamed Wu that Li Yi had met at the Ascension Conference, and Xu Yuan whom he had met in the secret realm. There were also some people whom Li Yi did not know at all, but most of them were in the middle and late stages of foundation building and were very powerful. Only Li Haoran and Xu Yuan were in the early stages of foundation building. The one surrounded in the middle was a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. These cultivators seemed to be led by this person. Even the old man in the late stage of foundation building was very respectful in front of this person. It was obvious that he was extraordinary.
"Li Yi, long time no see. Last time in the Questioning Heaven Secret Realm, we just said goodbye in a hurry and didn't have time to talk to you. You helped my father, and I haven't thanked you yet. Let me introduce you. These are all senior brothers from Tianyue Sect." After saying that, Li Haoran pulled Li Yi and walked towards the cultivators of Tianyue Sect.
Originally, Li Yi didn't plan to go, but Li Haoran pulled him so enthusiastically, he had no choice. Zhang Tie and Liu Yunfei behind him looked at each other and followed Li Yi.
After Li Haoran introduced them one by one, Li Yi clasped his fists and said to the cultivators of Tianyue Sect: "Li Yi from Tianqiao Sect, meet the senior brothers and sisters of Tianyue Sect."
After hearing Li Yi's greetings, the cultivators of Tianyue Sect just nodded, without much enthusiasm.
"You are Li Yi, Haoran's cousin, the cultivator with five spiritual roots. How is this possible? In just over ten years, not only did you succeed in building your foundation, but you also entered the middle stage of building your foundation." An old man with a white beard exclaimed and said incredulously.
The old man's words attracted all the cultivators in the hall to cast their eyes on Li Yi. Even Zhang Tie and Liu Yunfei behind Li Yi looked at Li Yi in astonishment. They really couldn't believe that Li Yi was actually a cultivator with five spiritual roots.
"Really, fake? A cultivator with five spiritual roots can build his foundation. This is impossible!"
"I don't think it's fake, and I didn't see the man's shocked look."
"Hehe, this kid is really amazing. "
"I know this guy. He is a disciple of Tianqiao Sect. He was very powerful in the secret realm. He got a lot of spiritual medicine."
...
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding cultivators and the eyes focused on him, Li Yi hated the feeling of being exposed in the crowd. Li Yi frowned and his face darkened. He looked at the cultivator surnamed Wu with a bit of unkindness and said slowly: "This is Fellow Daoist Wu! I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still as elegant as ever. I can cultivate so fast, and I have to thank you for the skills and some immortal cultivation resources you provided. Otherwise, I would not have the cultivation I have today. "
Li Yi said this half-truthfully. He was originally somewhat grateful to the old man. Although he had exchanged the "Dead Wood Skill" with this man for a blood ginseng from his father, it was indeed because of this skill that Li Yi embarked on the path of cultivating immortals. In addition, the other party also gave him a storage bag and a spiritual weapon, which helped Li Yi get through the difficult period. Now, in public, he talked about his qualifications, and his cultivation was so fast, which would definitely arouse the suspicion of many cultivators. I just don't know if this old man did it on purpose. In short, Li Yi's good impression of this person disappeared.
After Li Yi finished speaking, the cultivators present turned their eyes to the old man again, and they were a little bit unbelievable about what they said.
After listening to Li Yi's words, the old man waved his hand hurriedly and said: "This is all the credit of Daoyou, it has nothing to do with me. I also had a normal transaction with Daoyou at the beginning. "
Just after the old man finished speaking, the cultivator who was standing in the crowd with a frown suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Haoran, Senior Brother Wu, Fellow Daoist Li, I think this is not the place to talk. Even if we need to reminisce about the past, should we go to another place? If we block here, it will definitely affect other people's registration."
"Yes, yes, yes, what Senior Brother Han said is right. This place is indeed not suitable. Let's go to another place. Why don't we go to Lexianju! I heard that the food and spiritual tea there are good. Today, I will treat everyone to a meal. "At this time, Li Haoran also realized that the atmosphere was not right, especially when he saw Li Yi's gloomy face and the words the other old man said just now, which almost revealed Li Yi's secrets.
At this time, Li Yi took a deep breath and said, "Cousin, I have something else to do, so I won't go to Lexianju. If you want to find me, you can come to where I live." After that, Li Yi took out a jade slip, and the place recorded in it was exactly where Li Yi lived now.
After this, Li Yi naturally didn't want to get involved with these people. He didn't have any good feelings towards the cultivators of Tianyue Sect.
After finishing speaking, Li Yi clasped his fists towards the cultivators of Tianyue Sect and said, "Goodbye, Brother Zhang, Fellow Daoist Liu, let's go!"
Seeing Li Yi turning around and leaving, the cultivators of Tianyue Sect all showed a trace of displeasure on their faces, frowned, and some even showed anger on their faces. One of the women in the middle stage of foundation building snorted coldly, dodged, and blocked Li Yi in front of him, saying, "Stop, boy, don't be shameless. Junior Brother Haoran and Senior Brother Han Qi want to invite you to dinner. It's your honor. You are so ignorant. If it weren't for your relationship with Junior Brother Haoran, I would have crippled you long ago."
After hearing what this woman said, Li Yi narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous look, and then said unkindly, "What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Are you going to attack me?"
As he spoke, Li Yi had already pressed one hand on the storage bag and looked at the other party. If the other party dared to attack, he would definitely teach the other party a lesson.
"Han Yue, come back here and don't be rude to Brother Li." At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded among the crowd.
