Chapter 143 The Dojo of the Golden Elixir Master
"Junior Brother Jiang, what brings you here?"
After welcoming Jiang Xiaochuan into the house, Xu Changshou went straight to the point.
Jiang Xiaochuan pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Li Linhao, there's going to be an initiation ceremony. Have you heard about this?"
Xu Changshou nodded: "I heard that Uncle Li also sent me an invitation."
"That's good!"
Jiang Xiaochuan continued, "Brother Xu, are you planning to attend Uncle Li's initiation ceremony?"
"Getting ready to go."
Jiang Xiaochuan smiled. "I'm also planning to attend Uncle Li's initiation ceremony. I came to you this time to discuss the gift-giving issue. Junior Brother Xu, what gift are you planning to give? Let me remind you, this is Uncle Li's initiation ceremony, so ordinary gifts won't do."
Xu Changshou smiled and said, "I've discussed this matter with Senior Sister Ye. Senior Sister Ye said that the best gifts would be spirit stones."
"I think so too."
"Junior Brother Jiang, how many spirit stones do you think we should take?" Xu Changshou asked.
"If we take spirit stones, we must take a lot. I suggest that we take 100 spirit stones." Jiang Xiaochuan said firmly.
"so much!"
Xu Changshou frowned.
He didn't think it was too much. In his opinion, one hundred spirit stones was more appropriate.
However, Xu Changshou knew that Su Mo, Han Zong and others could not afford it. If he forced them to take it, they would definitely get angry.
Therefore, Xu Changshou had already secretly set a price in his mind: ten spirit stones.
It’s a little less, but at least Su Mo and Mr. Han can afford it.
Jiang Xiaochuan's face froze, and he said, "Brother Xu, what are you talking about? Is one hundred spirit stones too much? Think about it, Uncle Li is from our Gengzi Academy. In the future, in the sect, everyone from our Gengzi Academy will have to rely on Uncle Li."
"Taking a hundred spirit stones to establish a good relationship with Master Li doesn't seem like much to me."
"This... I still feel it's inappropriate. Should I share it with others..."
Jiang Xiaochuan interrupted Xu Changshou and said, "I'll talk to everyone else one by one. Anyway, for Uncle Li's initiation ceremony, each of us has to bring 100 spirit stones. If we don't bring any less, we won't be able to present it."
Xu Changshou raised an eyebrow: "Is this what Uncle Li meant?"
Jiang Xiaochuan clapped his hands and said, "Brother Xu, we need to understand the ways of the world. Uncle Li has been very busy lately and doesn't have time to deal with these trivial matters. We can just discuss and handle these matters."
"Forehead……"
Xu Changshou was speechless. Are you discussing this?
"Well, Junior Brother Jiang, go talk to the others first. I'm easy to talk to. I'll take whatever you take."
"Okay! That's it."
Jiang Xiaochuan stood up and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I still need to discuss this with other people, so I won't stay any longer."
"Junior Brother Jiang, take care."
Watching Jiang Xiaochuan leave in a hurry, Xu Changshou shook his head slightly, feeling a little funny.
It was clearly Li Linhao's initiation ceremony, but why did it feel like Jiang Xiaochuan cared more about it than Li Linhao himself? This was a typical case of the eunuchs being anxious while the emperor was not.
In Xu Changshou's heart, he didn't want to get too close to Li Linhao, as they were no longer on the same level.
As for attending Li Linhao's initiation ceremony, Xu Changshou's idea was also very Buddhist. Since all his friends attended, he attended as well. Since his friends all gave gifts, he also gave gifts. He would take as much as others gave.
The main theme is peeing in a river and going with the flow.
These are not the main things. In Xu Changshou's opinion, the main thing is to build the foundation.
Rather than currying favor with the powerful, it is better to become the powerful.
Soon it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, the day of Li Linhao's initiation ceremony.
After Jiang Xiaochuan left Xu Changshou, he never came back. He said that he was going to discuss the gift-giving matter with other people. Xu Changshou didn't know the result of the discussion.
Xu Changshou felt that it would definitely not be particularly smooth. Neither Su Mo nor Han Zong would probably take a hundred spirit stones.
Even Su Mo and Han Zong might not come.
Forget it, stop guessing, just go and see for yourself.
After breakfast, Xu Changshou stepped on the flying gourd and slowly headed towards Taiyi Peak.
He had Li Linhao's invitation in his hand, so he had a smooth journey through Taiyi Peak until he reached the gate of Master Li Tong's Taoist temple, where he put away the flying gourd.
That's right.
Li Linhao’s initiation ceremony was held at Li Tong’s dojo.
Xu Changshou didn't know much about Li Tong. He only knew that he was Li Linhao's grandfather and a veteran Jindan master of the Green Immortal Sect.
Li Tong’s dojo is also very grand.
Several magnificent halls are embedded in the mountain, and in front of the halls, a large open space is carved out.
The open space is divided into two courtyards, the inner and outer courtyards. The inner courtyard has a courtyard and a carved stone wall, while the outer courtyard is a flat land, and outside is a thousand-foot cliff.
Standing in the outer courtyard, you can overlook the entire Green Immortal Sect, and feel like you are looking down on all the mountains.
Xu Changshou secretly sighed, it was worthy of being the dojo of the great Jindan master. Apart from anything else, the scenery of the dojo alone was refreshing.
There is a thousand-foot cliff outside the outer courtyard, and there are no safety measures. Everyone is a monk, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
At this time, both the inner and outer courtyards were filled with distinguished guests and friends.
Xu Changshou took a quick look and saw that all those sitting in the inner courtyard were foundation-building cultivators.
Xu Changshou saw several people he knew, including Huang Tianlang, the abbot of Taiyi Peak, Zhang Zongchang, the abbot of Danxia Sect, Bai Tongyuan, the abbot of Chihuo Peak, Miao Ke, the abbot of Tianji Peak, Shi Wenlu, the abbot of Bagua Peak, Qian Yuanming, the abbot of Fengdu Peak, Li Daitu, the abbot of Lumo Peak, as well as Hu Tianyou and seven or eight young foundation-building monks.
The leaders of the seven peaks have all come. This scene is unparalleled.
Of course, Li Linhao definitely doesn’t have that much face, these people must be coming for Li Tong.
The outer courtyard was filled with menial disciples. Ye Shanhu and other people from the Gengzi Courtyard had arrived and were sitting around a table in the outer courtyard.
Xu Changshou looked at them and found that Ye Shanhu, Jiang Xiaochuan, Li Xianer, Zhang Feixian, Shi Wantong, Qian Yuanbao, Su Mo, and Han Zong were all there.
"Why are Su Mo and Han Zong here too?"
Xu Changshou was very surprised. He didn't expect Su Mo and the man Han Zong to come.
At this time, Su Mo and Han Zong were both wearing clean and decent Taoist robes, a change from their previous sloppy image.
Looking at everyone's cultivation, they are also different.
The one with the highest cultivation level is Ye Shanhu, who has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Jiang Xiaochuan, Li Xianer, Zhang Feixian, Shi Wantong, Qian Yuanbao and other five people have all reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining.
Su Mo and Han Zong have the lowest cultivation level, the tenth level of Qi Refining.
"Fellow Taoists, long time no see!"
Xu Changshou walked over with a smile and bowed to everyone.
Everyone at the table stood up hurriedly to greet them.
"Hey, Senior Brother Xu is here."
"Hello, Senior Brother Xu."
"Brother Xu, how are you?"
In the small circle of the Gengzi Academy, Xu Changshou was still quite popular.
In terms of cultivation, Xu Changshou has always been ahead of most people.
Apart from Li Linhao and Ye Shanhu, Xu Changshou's cultivation speed is the fastest.
