Chapter 544: Too polite
But what is unexpected is that Lu Li's retreat lasted for more than five months. He did not come out of the retreat room until the beginning of March of the following year.
At this time, Lu Li's aura was a little more mysterious than before.
"Alas, it's a pity that there are not enough spirit stones. Otherwise, it is not impossible to break through to the initial stage of great success." Lu Li stood in the room, sighed with some regrets, and went to the corridor outside...
After five months of retreat, he almost used up all the spirit stones on him, more than 12 million low-grade spirit stones and 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones. He finally broke through from the initial entry to the initial stage of small success.
Now, he is only one step away from the great success, but he can only stop temporarily because of the lack of spirit stones.
After this retreat, he felt more and more that the effect of low-grade spirit stones was not very good. The essence extracted from one hundred low-grade spirit stones could not be compared with one medium-grade spirit stone.
However, no matter what, he still broke through from the entry to the small success. For most people, it is absolutely unimaginable in just five months in the outside world.
You know, this is a breakthrough at the Jindan level, it is not enough to have spiritual stone resources, it also requires a lot of time to refine.
After blowing the cool breeze in the corridor for a while, Lu Li flew down the attic.
Next to the inner courtyard pond, a little girl wearing a floral skirt and a double bun was cleaning the corridor. Seeing Lu Li appear, she was stunned for a moment, then dragged the broom to Lu Li, "Meet the elder."
It is true that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. The little girl who was so rustic that it was difficult to tell whether she was a boy or a girl, now dressed up, has added a bit of ethereal air.
Lu Li smiled faintly, "Why, don't you need to practice, how do you still have time to do these trivial things?"
"Trivia? Elder, are you talking about sweeping the floor?"
"What do you think?"
"Oh, this is my task, I have to do it every day, otherwise, I'm afraid that the elder will say that I am wasting food and drive me down the mountain." Han Feiyan said seriously.
Lu Li was immediately amused, "You little girl, how can you have so many little thoughts in a day? Okay, this yard is not dirty, there is no need to clean it every day. You can clean it once a month in the future, and spend the rest of the time on cultivation."
"Really!" Han Feiyan was immediately delighted, "Elder, you won't lie to me, you want to find a reason to drive me down the mountain?"
Lu Li rubbed Han Feiyan's head with a smile, "Why would I lie to you? Besides, do I need a reason to drive you down the mountain?"
"Oh, that's right, Feiyan, thank you elder!" Han Feiyan was immediately happy when she heard it.
Seeing this, Lu Li shook his head and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Han Feiyan seemed to remember something, and hurriedly chased up with a big broom, "Elder, I remember that Manager Jin came to see you several times. I'm afraid he has something to ask you. If you have time, remember to ask..."
Gold ingots?
Lu Li nodded, "I know."
After that, he left without looking back.
......
There is actually not much to do in Cuizhu Peak.
Jin Yuanbao said he was the manager, but he was actually very free all day. When he was bored, he would go to the Transmission Tower to chat with Zhao Ping'an, and then meditate on the big stone at the top of the stone steps.
Why meditate here? The main reason is that the view here is better. If someone comes to find Lu Li, he can find them at the first time, and then go to report, proving that his existence is still valuable.
So, when Lu Li walked out of the gate, he found Lu Li at the first time, and stood up decisively, ran towards Lu Li, and saluted with a smile: "Elder, you finally came out..."
"I heard that you came to me, is there something?" Lu Li looked at Jin Yuanbao with a flattering face and asked directly.
"Oh, it's like this. There was a message from Qingning Peak asking you to come over after you come out of retreat. I saw that he was not in a hurry, so I didn't disturb you from retreat..."
"Qingning Peak?"
Lu Li pondered for a moment, said "I know", and then rose from the ground and headed south.
"Ah, I don't know when I can be as cool as him?" Seeing Lu Li walking in the air, Jin Yuanbao's fat face couldn't help but show envy and yearning.
......
Qingning Peak.
Master Chu has been very upset recently. He is almost suffocated by trivial matters. Moreover, he always feels that there will be a big problem in this sky, but as the master of Yuxu Palace, he seems very powerless.
Today, he specially invited Ouyang Riyao to drink tea and chat together, but unfortunately, his senior brother seemed to be a little unresponsive and kept talking to him about business, which made him speechless...
Just when he looked bored, he suddenly found a young man in white walking up the small road at the foot of the mountain. His eyes suddenly lit up and he interrupted Ouyang Riyao who was still chattering:
"Senior brother, look, that kid seems to be about to reach the initial stage of success. Is this a human?"
Ouyang Riyao was stunned and looked down the mountain. He hissed softly, "This... I remember that he broke through the golden elixir only about a year ago?"
Chu Qingxuan said: "Yes, that's right, I remember it very clearly, a year is still a few days away..."
"This boy is not simple. I have never heard of someone who breaks through more than one small stage in a year. Even if he has enough resources, his refining speed cannot keep up. Could it be that he is not practicing in my Yuxu Palace? 'The Sutra of Wuwei'...?" Ouyang Riyao said suspiciously.
"It's hard to say this. After all, he is just starting out as an artist..."
"..."
While the two were talking, Lu Li also walked up from the bottom of the mountain.
He could actually fly up, but it would be a bit impolite to do so. Therefore, every time he came to see Chu Qingxuan, he would always land at the foot of Pavilion Mountain and then walk up.
"I've met the headmaster, the great elder..."
Lu Li was a little surprised that Ouyang Riyao was also here.
"Haha, you kid can do it. You have been in seclusion for such a long time. You are completely deaf to what is going on outside the window." Chu Qingxuan smiled half-jokingly and greeted, "Come, come and sit."
Lu Li smiled awkwardly and sat down around the tea table in the center of the pavilion, "I heard that the headmaster is looking for me?"
Chu Qingxuan nodded, "Didn't Liuyun Mansion and his team finish last time? I was going to give my contribution to you, but who would have thought that you would just go into seclusion."
When he heard that it was about contribution, Lu Li immediately became interested. He was penniless now, but he really needed a contribution, but he couldn't ask for it directly. He said with a flash of his eyes:
"Master, you are so polite. If you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten it. I wonder how much contribution I should receive after Master calculated it?"
