Chapter 212 Suddenly

(There is another chapter tonight, it will be coded out a little later!)

It stands to reason that being accepted as a disciple by a monk in the alchemy stage is definitely a great thing that a low-level immortal cultivator can never dream of. But after hearing this, Han Li was shocked and subconsciously realized something was wrong.

With his qualifications and skills, there was no way such a good thing would happen to him. As for his words that he would be rewarded for his great contribution to Yellow Maple Valley, Han Li didn't believe it at all. If the Patriarch won the bet and accepted him as a hero on a whim, he would be somewhat sincere. But it’s thought-provoking to accept him as a disciple even though he’s a complete loser!

While Han Li was spinning countless thoughts, Master Li became displeased.

After he said that he would accept Han Li as his disciple, he thought that the other party would be extremely happy and would agree immediately. But who would have expected that Han Li stood there blankly with a look of astonishment on his face and did not immediately express his position, which made him slightly angry.

But on the surface, Master Li naturally wanted to maintain his master's demeanor, so he said calmly:

"Han Li, if you don't want to worship me as your teacher, just say it clearly and I won't force you! I can give you several other magic weapons as compensation!"

As soon as Han Li heard this, he knew that the other party's words were beautiful, but he was definitely dissatisfied. Han Li understood the consequences of offending this patriarch without thinking too deeply! Moreover, it is too unreasonable for a Qi-refining stage disciple like himself to refuse to be accepted as a disciple by a monk in the pill-forming stage. I'm afraid that if I refuse, I will get into more trouble.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth. No matter what the other party's intentions were for him, he had to deal with the current situation first. Anyway, if you look at this attitude and refuse to agree, you will never get any good results.

"Of course I am happy to be able to become my master's disciple. This is my honor! I was so happy just now that I forgot to speak. Please forgive me, master!" Han Li blushed heavily on his face and pretended to He just recovered from the excitement and said in an impatient tone.

Afterwards, Han Li was very understanding and kowtowed a few times to Master Li, and immediately performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Very good! From today on, you are my disciple, Li Huayuan, and this Biguang Sword Artifact will be treated as a meeting gift as a master." Li Huayuan smiled broadly, stretched out his hand to help Han Li, and handed one to him. The green long sword, with its sparkling light, is definitely a top-notch magic weapon.

Han Li solemnly took the sword with both hands, kowtowed once more to show respect, and then stood up as if he was overjoyed.

The other disciples around were stunned, their eyes were burning, and they looked at Han Li with strange expressions, wishing that they were the ones to pick up the magic weapon, instead of Han Li, who had already disliked him.

Although Han Li didn't know what others were thinking, the fiery glances that fell on him made him guess a lot, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry in his heart!

If it were possible, he would wish that the master was interested in someone else instead of himself, the unlucky guy! You know, the lessons taught by his previous master, Doctor Mo, are still fresh in his mind! Now, luckily, another master with greater abilities and more skills has arrived. Han Li is really speechless!

"After a while, if the foundation building is successful, I will take you to my place and accept you as a formal disciple. If the foundation building is not successful, it doesn't matter, I will also give you some pointers on the techniques." Master Li told Han Li road.

"Yes, master!" Han Li naturally had no other objections and agreed honestly.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to Yellow Maple Valley!" Master Li looked at the sky and said.

Next, everyone rode Master Li's silver-armored horned python again, and after flying for several days, they returned to Yellow Maple Valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, Master Li Li Huayuan led two stewards to the meeting hall. Others dispersed and went back to their homes to wait for their rewards in a few days.

…

In a hut in the Yellow Maple Valley Hundred Medicine Garden, the little old man Master Ma stared at Han Li with his eyes wide open, as if he had seen a ghost, and kept muttering:

"This is impossible. Not only did you not die, you also found a leak in the forbidden area, handed over more than twenty elixirs at once, and were accepted as a registered disciple by Master Li!"

"Yes, Uncle Ma! I am blessed with profound blessings and amazing fortune!" Han Li sat opposite the little old man and said with a half-smile, as if he was very proud of himself.

After hearing Han Li's words, the little old man's expression returned to normal, but he looked at Han Li with a strange look in his eyes, which made Han Li feel confused, wondering what the other party's intentions were.

"Boy Han, you have indeed gained a lot from this trip to the forbidden area, far beyond my expectation!" the little old man said with a long sigh.

"I didn't expect it myself!" Han Li responded casually.

"But, do you know Master Uncle Li's true intention of accepting you as a registered disciple?"

The little old man's next sentence with a slightly regretful expression made Han Li stunned for a moment, but then he became overjoyed. But he still suppressed his inner impulse and pretended to be confused and said in surprise:

"Uncle Ma, does Master Li have other reasons for accepting disciples?"

"Uncle? Hehe! Since Junior Brother Han has become a disciple of Uncle Li, you can just call me Senior Brother Ma from now on. Uncle, I don't dare to answer the call anymore!" The little old man shook his head lightly and said slowly.

"Ahem! Why does Master Ma make fun of my nephew? Who doesn't know that in the world of immortality, seniority is determined by skills. As long as I haven't entered the foundation building period for a day, Master Ma will naturally be my elder." Han Li said very sincerely, He immediately poured a cup of herbal tea for the little old man and handed it to him.

"Yes, yes! Children can be taught! It seems that you haven't been overwhelmed by these things yet, so I will tell you in advance. In fact, if I don't tell you, you will know it in three or four days." The little old man nodded with satisfaction and said lightly.

Han Li was slightly startled after hearing this, but he listened attentively to what the other party said next. You know, he has always been on tenterhooks about Master Li suddenly accepting him as his disciple. If he had known the inside story earlier, he would not have let it go.

"What reward do you think you can get for handing in so many elixirs this time?" The little old man suddenly asked, changing his subject.

"Can I exchange for two Foundation Establishing Pills? I asked beforehand that anyone who hands in about ten elixirs can be exchanged for one Foundation Establishing Pill." Han Li knew that since the other party asked this question, he must have a purpose. He answered honestly.

"Hmph! When the reward comes in a few days, you will only be blessed with one Foundation Establishment Pill. If you can only get two, don't dream about it!" the little old man said with a slight sarcasm.

"What? How could this happen! Is there still someone who can withhold rewards?" Han Li almost jumped up, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"There is no deduction, and no one dares to do that! You are the only one whose reward has been reduced. Everyone else should get the full amount. Otherwise, who will participate in the Blood Trial next time!" The little old man curled his lips and said. .

"Is it because of Master Li?" Han Li tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said seriously.

"You're not too stupid, you figured out the idea so quickly. It's indeed because Uncle Li accepted you as his disciple that you did this!" The little old man's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded.

"There is an unwritten rule in our sect. For those who have a clear relationship between master and apprentice, the master has the right to take half of the tribute that the apprentice has handed over to the master as a thank you gift. Of course, this is only for one time and will not be repeated in the future. And you are in a forbidden area. The elixir you received can be regarded as some kind of tribute to the master. So according to my estimation, the reason why Master Li is so enthusiastic about accepting you as his disciple is probably because he is attracted by your dozen or so plants as a thank you gift to the master. Only half of the elixir has arrived, and you Naturally, the reward is only half, so don’t expect two more Foundation Establishment Pills." The little old man explained to Han Li carefully.

Han Li frowned, but he didn't show any anger or dissatisfaction. He just lowered his head and remained silent, which surprised the little old man. Naturally, he didn't know that instead of being angry, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

This new master turned out to be interested in his elixir, which was beyond his expectation, but it also made Han Li feel at ease. A foundation-building pill is nothing to him who is about to start refining the pill! As long as he can successfully refine the elixir, he will naturally not take a single pill into his eyes.

The little old man didn't know Han Li's state of mind. Seeing that Han Li remained silent, he thought that Han Li was sulking and was just good at controlling it so he didn't show it. He chuckled twice and comforted Han Li:

"Although you are missing one Foundation Establishment Pill, it is not bad to be accepted as a registered disciple by Uncle Li, and it is not a big loss. You must know that your qualifications are not very good. Even if you take two Foundation Establishment Pills, The hope of successfully building the foundation is still slim. It is better to exchange one pill for Master Li, a big backer. In this way, even if you are still in the Qi refining period, basically no one in this sect will dare to bully you. You must know that although Master Li is not I don’t really want to accept you as my disciple, but you still bear his name after all. No ordinary disciple or manager would easily trouble you. And as far as I know, Master Li is very protective of his shortcomings!"

Han Li was a little touched after hearing this. Since he was a child, the old man gave him two bottles of elixirs when he went to the forbidden area. He has already seen that the other person is a cold-hearted person, and he is really a good person! But now Han Li remembered these words even more in his heart. The other party seemed worthy of a close friendship!

Han Li thought this in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be persuaded by the little old man. He smiled bitterly and finally spoke, and exchanged a few casual words with him.

Uncle Ma was very happy to see that Han Li seemed to have recovered from the blow, and soon left. The Baiyao Garden was naturally handed over to Han Li again.
