Chapter 409: I am afraid of my brother's suffering, and I am also afraid of my brother becoming
Li Xiuchang, an outer disciple, has been practicing for thirteen years, from a mere mortal to a great monk in the Tribulation Stage.
At the same time, he is also a great master of spiritual planting and weapon refining!
It sounded like a joke, so much so that Pang Yuanfu actually thought it was a joke when he heard it.
When the Xianchen Sect was preparing to take action against Shadow, it evacuated a group of inner disciples, and Pang Yuanfu happened to be among those evacuated.
When the crisis in the sect was resolved, he returned to the sect and heard such news.
The person who told him the news immediately was none other than Chi Hui, who had started with him and Li Xiuchang.
Thirteen years have passed, and Chi Hui still looks like the girl she was then, but her temperament has become much more mature.
When she heard the news, she was actually quite shocked. She was so dizzy that it took a long time to recover.
It was only after seeking verification that I finally accepted the reality.
"Junior Sister Chi, you didn't like to joke before. What happened today?" Pang Yuanfu said with a smile.
However, Chi Hui did not laugh, but said seriously: "It's true, Senior Brother Pang!"
"The acting looks quite similar, but I'm not talking about you. Junior sister, even if you want to lie to me, you should make up something more believable."
Pang Yuanfu still had a smile on his face, calm and calm, but in fact, he felt a ten thousandth of a degree worried in his heart.
What if... what if it's true?
No way?
Chi Hui has stopped talking. She has experienced it once and knows that no matter how much she says at this time, Pang Yuanfu will not believe it. Only after many verifications can she accept this outrageous fact.
Seeing that Chi Hui remained silent, Pang Yuanfu sighed in his heart and became more and more uneasy.
His smile was already a little forced: "Such a clumsy lie, if I just ask anyone, it will be exposed."
Who to ask?
Pang Yuanfu took out his identity token and summoned Senior Brother Song Yu.
Senior Brother Song Yu is a calm and reliable person and will not cooperate with others in making such jokes.
"Senior Brother Song, have you heard about Li Xiuchang?" Pang Yuanfu didn't mention anything specific.
After a while, Senior Brother Song Yu replied: "I just learned that not long ago, I was practicing the Meditation Mantra to stabilize my Taoist mind."
Seeing Brother Song Yu's reply, Pang Yuanfu's heart kept sinking, but he didn't give up and asked:
"Is Xiu Chang really an elder?"
"More than just an elder, I heard that the sect leader intends for him to take over the position of great elder next year."
Pang Yuanfu's hanging heart finally died...
Pang Yuanfu and Li Xiuchang started together. He is no longer the naive boy he was back then. If Li Xiuchang develops well, he will be happy for it.
But it can’t be like this!
Not only are they afraid that their brothers will suffer, but they are also afraid that their brothers will become Taoist ancestors.
You are about to become a great elder, and I am still a minor cultivator of foundation building. It seems that I am stupid...
Thousands of thoughts emerged in his heart. Pang Yuanfu had complicated emotions and was speechless for a moment.
Song Yu over there didn't know whether he was explaining to Pang Yuanfu or enlightening himself, so he sent another message:
"Actually, in the past, I was happy from the bottom of my heart when the junior disciples I personally brought into my disciples could surpass me. However, if I practice this, this is too much! It disturbs my Taoist mind, alas!"
The fact that Li Xiuchang became an elder had a huge impact on the disciples of his generation!
Even if someone is as firm as Song Yu, it is still difficult to accept it.
But it's only for a moment, and it will be fine once it calms down.
When the gap is so big that you are unable and unwilling to catch up, it doesn't matter.
But Li Xiuchang's growth rate was so abnormal that Pang Yuanfu couldn't help but ask one more question: "How did Li Xiuchang do it?"
Chi Hui smiled bitterly: "It is said to be related to the six supreme elders in Donggeng District."
The sect did not explain this point, but the disciples of the Xianchen Sect would naturally make associations and guesses. The reason why Li Xiuchang grew up so fast must be because of the cultivation of the six Supreme Elders!
The six supreme elders worked together to train him, and no one in the entire Xianchen Sect had such treatment!
Chi Hui thought about the time when Wang Long introduced them to the school and specifically emphasized the curse of Donggeng District. She was afraid to avoid it after hearing it, but Li Xiuchang firmly chose Donggeng District.
Unexpectedly, it was such a choice that opened such a big gap between the two.
Pang Yuanfu didn't know what to say. He was proud of himself when he entered the inner door, but he didn't expect that the greatest opportunity was hidden in the outer door.
"The high-grade spiritual aperture mistaken me!" He sighed.
Having said that, in fact, both Pang Yuanfu and Chi Hui understood that if they entered Donggeng District, they might not have the opportunity like Li Xiuchang.
Looking back over the past two thousand years, Li Xiuchang was not the only one who accidentally moved into Donggeng District.
But in the end, only Li Xiuchang settled down in Donggeng District.
Even if the two of them lived in Donggeng District, they would have moved out long ago due to various reasons.
The six Supreme Elders are willing to devote resources and efforts to train Li Xiuchang. There is only one reason: they are the material!
Pang Yuanfu has become much more mature in thinking about things now, and has learned to look at things from multiple aspects. After experiencing a round of broken Taoist heart, he put the broken Taoist heart back together, and then forced out a smile:
"Junior sister Chi, this may be a great opportunity for us!"
When Chi Hui heard this, she immediately understood that they and Li Xiuchang had some kind of friendship. As Li Xiuchang became prosperous, they could also benefit from it.
From now on, we can also say that he is a good friend of Elder Li Xiuchang. With this status, he can be said to have a good reputation.
"Let's go, Junior Sister Chi, let's go visit Elder Li."
…
Because of his status, Chu Ya was well-informed. He was one of the first people to learn that Li Xiuchang had become an elder.
When he heard the news from Ye Yuqiu, he was stunned for a quarter of an hour without saying anything.
"Unexpectedly, I have been tortured by love for a hundred years, and I was lucky enough to cut off my relationship with Tianxiang Witch. My cultivation level has improved by leaps and bounds, but I am still not as good as Junior Brother Li who practiced hard for thirteen years."
Ye Yuqiu joked: "How do you know he is practicing asceticism?"
Chu Ya took it for granted and said, "How could we achieve such achievements if we didn't practice hard?"
But as soon as he said these words, he thought carefully about the past thirteen years, and suddenly felt that Li Xiuchang seemed to have lived a very colorful life.
In the past thirteen years, Chu Ya had been in contact with Li Xiuchang and was aware of some of Li Xiuchang's movements.
In his impression, Li Xiuchang rarely spent time in retreat in the past thirteen years. Instead, he was very active and did a lot of things.
In the early stage, I helped him plant flowers, and also went to Xianyin in the middle, and made many friends from the other three major immortal sects.
Later, he founded the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce and took over the Danxiang Building, and the business was booming.
If I remember correctly, he won first place in the sect's soul-controlling competition and the spiritual chef competition held by the Yintian Sect.
The result now tells him that what Li Xiuchang is best at is actually spiritual planting and weapon refining...
We have only been together for thirteen years, and we have done so much. How could we suffer so much?
Chu Ya couldn't convince herself anymore.
"In short, from now on, my title as the number one genius of the Xianchen Sect will be given to Junior Brother Li." Chu Ya said with a smile.
Ye Yuqiu comforted him: "Don't worry, he has grown up and is no longer on the same level as you. No one will compare you with him. This first genius is still yours."
Chu Ya's Taoist heart, which he could barely maintain at first, was suddenly stabbed hard, and finally couldn't help but break.
…
Donggeng District, which has always been deserted, now finally feels the bustle of a bustling city.
In the past two days, there have been so many people visiting Donggeng District!
From the supreme elders to the outer disciples, almost the entire sect lined up to attend.
The reconstruction work in Donggeng District was very fast, which was too simple for the monks. It only took less than half a day, and the entire Donggeng District had been completely changed.
The current Donggeng District is spacious enough, but with so many visitors, it still seems crowded.
The Supreme Elders came over to send congratulatory gifts and make themselves familiar. After all, we will all work together in the future.
Moreover, the strength of these six supreme elders in Donggeng District is at the top level in the Xianchen Sect. Most of the supreme elders can consider themselves juniors when they meet them.
As for the elders, they can only follow the Supreme Elders to come to the house to recognize their faces, put down the congratulatory gifts and leave without any chance to talk to them.
These elders walked around the residence of Zhang Wanzhi and others, and finally they all came to visit Li Xiuchang.
There was a huge gap in status and cultivation between them and Zhang Wanzhi and other Supreme Elders, so they were inevitably cautious, but they were much more comfortable in front of the newly promoted elder Li Xiuchang.
One by one, they came to the door carrying congratulatory gifts:
"Congratulations to Elder Li!"
"Elder Li is really young and promising!"
"I heard that Elder Li is not yet married. I have a daughter who is about the same age as Elder Li..."
Li Xiuchang couldn't receive them alone, so he had to call his clones to entertain these visitors together.
Now that he wanted to have status and status, he naturally couldn't treat guests shabbily. He set up several tables of banquets to entertain guests.
All the spiritual dishes and immortal brews used are treasures, and even the waiters who serve the dishes use sixth-level ghosts.
Li Xiuchang walked between the wine tables, changing glasses, feeling high-spirited...until he saw someone.
His master, Zhao Yuansi, walked in with a congratulatory gift, with a half-smile expression on his face.
Li Xiuchang was a little embarrassed and took the initiative to receive him: "Master, please take a seat quickly."
"Don't dare. You and I are both elders now. There is no such thing as master and disciple. Besides, I didn't teach you anything. How dare I show off my little skills in front of Elder Li."
Zhao Yuansi spoke in a strange manner, but in fact he was not angry, but actually embarrassed.
When he learned the truth, his first reaction was shame. How could he, a sixth-level alchemy master, have the nerve to accept a great master as his disciple?
Wouldn't it make people laugh if you said it?
As a master, his skills are not as good as his disciples, his cultivation level is not as good as his disciples, and even his connections, resources and financial resources are not as good as his disciples... Especially when he comes over to see, good guy, even the ghost serving the plate at this banquet has a higher level of cultivation than him.
This made him even more embarrassed and annoyed, and he wanted to find a crack to get in.
Li Xiuchang knew that Old Zhaotou had a good reputation, and also knew that this master had always been sincerely kind to him, so he said sincerely:
"Master's words are wrong. When I first entered the sect and had no cultivation, I was fortunate enough to study alchemy under your sect. The fate between us as master and disciple was not false at all. Master also gave me a lot of help at that time.
"Later on, my cultivation gradually grew, so I had no choice but to hide it from you. And although I have made some achievements in spiritual cultivation and weapon refining, I am still not as good as you in alchemy, so you are still my alchemy teacher."
Zhao Yuansi's face brightened slightly, and when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed true. Li Xiuchang didn't hide anything when he became his apprentice.
Moreover, he was only Li Xiuchang's alchemy technician. According to the rules of the Xianchen Sect, he only needed to teach Li Xiuchang the alchemy skills, and he didn't need to worry about the rest.
"Speaking of which, it's me who got the appearance. I should be happy that my disciple has achieved such an achievement."
Zhao Yuansi smiled with relief. Li Xiuchang became an elder, but he still respected him as before, which made him feel proud.
"It's my fault today. I will punish myself with three cups!"
Zhao Yuansi was about to pour the wine. Other elders laughed at him: "Old Zhao, I think you deliberately cheated me to drink the wine. This is good wine!"
Zhao Yuansi glared: "Do I need to cheat me to drink my apprentice's wine? If you have the ability, you can also teach such a capable apprentice!"
...
Li Xiuchang finally sent away a group of elders who came to congratulate him. Then, his friends in the sect came to visit one by one.
Wang Long, Song Yu, Chu Ya, Pang Yuanfu, Chi Hui.
They actually arrived a long time ago, but a group of elders were there just now, so they didn't want to get together and could only wait outside.
The seven people in Donggeng District are now all celebrities in Xianchen Sect. They have to queue up when they visit. The supreme elders are given priority, followed by the elders, and other acquaintances can only queue up at the back.
There were even more disciples crowding outside, just to see these seven celebrities.
"Elder Li, you've kept us in the dark for so long!" Pang Yuanfu half-jokingly said.
The others also looked Li Xiuchang up and down, as if they wanted to get to know him again.
Perhaps only Wang Long was calmer. Having worked under Li Xiuchang for so many years, and watching the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce grow bigger and stronger step by step, he had already had some vague ideas in his heart that Li Xiuchang was definitely not an ordinary person!
So when he learned that Li Xiuchang had become an elder, he was not as surprised as others, but instead had a feeling that "it should be like this."
"What elder is just an empty title. In the future, we will still treat each other as brothers and sisters as before, and there is no need to be so distant." Li Xiuchang waved his hand and invited everyone to take a seat.
Seeing that Li Xiuchang had no airs at all and was still the same as before, Pang Yuanfu and the others were relieved.
After a few casual chats, Chu Ya asked, "Junior Brother Li, has the sect told you what specific affairs they want you to be responsible for?"
Since he is an elder with real power, he must be in charge of things.
Li Xiuchang said, "The sect master asked me to take charge of the sect's finances before, but I refused."
You refused even this?
Several people swallowed their saliva. This is a super lucrative job! The kind that is so lucrative that it is greasy!
Of course Li Xiuchang knew, but he was not short of money. Just talking about spirit stones, it was not clear whether he or Xianchen Sect was richer.
He was too lazy to spend energy to take care of these things, so he simply refused directly.
"Then what aspect do you plan to be responsible for?"
Li Xiuchang shook his head: "I don't know, let's talk about it later."
In fact, he didn't want to take care of anything. It's better to cultivate to become an immortal as soon as possible. When he becomes the supreme elder, he doesn't have to take care of anything.
At this moment, Li Xiuchang suddenly received a message from Zhang Wanzhi.
After the Xianchen Sect captured a large number of shadows, it has been interrogating them intensively, but the progress is very unsatisfactory. The shadows are too tight-lipped!
Therefore, Zhang Wanzhi recommended Li Xiuchang to the sect. (End of this chapter)
