Starting as a clan leader: My rules are a bit wild

Chapter 161 The trap is over! We are professionals in intensifying conflicts~

Three days later.

Tang Wu breaks through!

Successfully stepped into the sixth realm and became a noble monk in the destiny-knowing realm.

"Hahaha!"

Tang Wu looked up to the sky and roared, his energy flowing through the rainbow.

“Autumn is crisp and everything is under control!!!”

"Even, it's a pity..."

"I only took three Zhixuan Dan, but the rest are of little use."

Apart from being excited, he was a little depressed.

Ninth Grade Zhixuan Dan!

That was a ninth-grade elixir. Before that, I had never taken it, or even seen it. However, I only took three pills and achieved a breakthrough!

Now that we are in the realm of knowing our destiny, we can eat the Zhixuan Dan, but the effect is greatly reduced. In comparison, we might as well sell it and exchange it for the knowing pill.

"No."

"I have to go find Lu Ming and ask him to refine another batch of life-knowing pills for me."

"Even if it's..."

"Use some means."

Tang Wu's eyes flickered slightly and his thoughts changed rapidly.

After tasting the ninth-grade elixir and knowing how amazing its efficacy was and how helpful it was to his cultivation, Tang Wu really looked down on low-quality elixirs.

Too shameful!

The help is too little.

"Father."

"Please help me!"

"···"

The Ice King said helplessly: "Okay."

"But you have to be careful. Lu Ming must have come prepared, and now his status in the Haoyue Sect is unmatched. If the trouble is too big, it will not be good for you."

"Of course I know this. Don't worry, adoptive father."

"You don't need to worry too much about other things, but at a critical moment, if you need your adoptive father to take action, please don't hesitate."

"Besides, don't think too much about your adoptive father. The child is always thinking about his adoptive father."

"After that, the boy asked Lu Ming if he could refine the inner elixir for nourishing the soul. If he could refine it, I would ask him to refine it at any cost! Let him refine the high-quality elixir for nourishing the soul. How much help should I give to my adoptive father?"

Tang Wu looked sincere.

The Ice King becomes more and more uncomfortable the more he looks at it, it’s a pity...

"My son is determined."

He could only pretend to know nothing.

However, these days, the Ice King has become more and more anxious.

He felt keenly that the relationship and strange balance between him and Tang Wu seemed to be broken.

But no matter what, he couldn't 'eat the master'!

Because he is in an extremely special state, he survived as a 'ring weapon spirit'.

However, this spiritual weapon-level storage ring has been completely refined by Tang Wu and recognized as his master. As a weapon spirit, he cannot resist at all.

He seems to be a foster father and a master.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Ice Emperor would even call Tang Wu his master.

Unable to resist.

We can only follow his wishes for the time being and see if anything can turn around.

It's a pity that these days, I don't see any turning point, but I seem to see that my death is getting closer and closer...

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

Too desperate.

After the response, there was silence.

Tang Wu's expression did not change.

In fact, I guessed something in my heart.

He never thought that the Ice King was stupid. After all, he was a veteran strong man. If he could be easily fooled by him without realizing it, how could he have become a strong man in the first place?

Combined with the Ice King's unusual behavior these days, he was almost certain.

But in his opinion it's not a big problem.

The initiative is always in your own hands, so what if you see something?

Only being so silent at this moment, or holding back.

And it still works for me!

He smiled and immediately set off to find Lu Ming.

Inside the cave.

Lu Ming was pleased with himself.

To others, he looked like he was resting.

In fact...

He was indeed resting.

Rest and practice at the same time.

After all, the environment here is much better than that of Lan Yue Sect. For cultivation, it can definitely be called a real paradise.

The reason why Ji Haoyue and others don't use it is not because the Yuanling Qi here is not strong enough, but because their realm is too high, and the richness of simple Yuanqi is no longer effective.

It is precisely because of this that it was Lu Ming's turn to be in this good place.

He is only in the sixth realm, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Naturally, he must seize the opportunity to improve himself.

The most important thing is~

This is the Haoyue Sect!

What he inhales is the Yuanling Qi of the Haoyue Sect.

Based on this alone, the vitality instantly became several times more fragrant.

"In a few days."

Lu Ming said to himself: "After all, I just came here, so it's not appropriate to get too carried away."

"After waiting for a few more days, I will go to the Sutra Pavilion for a walk."

"Since you have said that all the skills and secret techniques are for me to practice, and can be passed on to my direct lineage~then we can't waste them."

"They are all good things."

"It's Tang Wu's side."

"If I hadn't guessed, it should have been a breakthrough, right?"

Lu Ming smiled.

"After all, if you can't break through with the Ninth Grade Finger Mysterious Pill, then you're not worthy of being the protagonist's template."

Although Tang Shenwang is a fantasy floor tile, he is at least the template of the protagonist and has the halo of the protagonist~!

Under such circumstances, if he, who is already at the peak of the fifth realm, cannot break through even with a furnace of ninth-grade finger-mysterious pills, that would be too stupid.

Moreover, this furnace contains nine pieces!

"I estimate that after taking three to five pills, he should be able to break through."

"But how can he, who has tasted the ninth-grade elixir, give up?"

With the Tang Shenwang's temperament, it would be strange to have such a good thing and not want to do everything possible to put it in his pocket.

"I don't know if this version of Tang Shenwang is smart or not."

"Can you guess that I deliberately gave him the ninth grade and deliberately refined nine pieces?"

If you want to catch big fish, you have to use scented bait.

Now that the bait has been placed, the fish should be about to take the bait, right?

Half a day later.

Tang Wu came to the door.

"Brother Lu, Tang Wu has taken the liberty to come to visit. Please see him."

He walked openly outside the cave and called Lu Ming.

Lu Ming showed a smile, removed the formation and restrictions with a wave of his hand, and even personally welcomed him out, saying with a smile: "Hahaha, Brother Tang is here? Please come in quickly~"

Immediately, the two entered the cave with their arms around each other.

The stone gate of the cave was then closed, and the formation was activated again.

In the distance, many people sent by the elders to keep an eye on him suddenly had strange expressions on their faces, and they all contacted their elders.

"Have you had a rest, Elder Lu?"

"Tang Wu came to visit. Elder Lu was in high spirits and welcomed him into the cave?"

"So, it has indeed recovered."

"Quickly, prepare some gifts for me. After Tang Wu leaves, I will go to visit him personally."

"···"

These days, they have also tasted the sweetness of high-quality elixirs.

Although it is not that I have never taken seventh-grade elixirs before, the number of times is too few!

But Lu Ming is different here.

At present, it seems that the guarantee is all at level 7. Isn't this a good lick, a good gift, and a good relationship? As long as you succeed, don't you just want to take high-quality elixirs in the future?

Many elders are very excited and are actively preparing.

However, they all know that they may not succeed.

After all, if I can think of this, others can also think of it. Everyone will compete, and it's hard to say who will succeed in winning favor.

even···

A female elder even dug out the ‘battle robe’ she had treasured for many years and put it on.

He even took out a bronze mirror that had not been used for who knows how many years and had yellow decals on it.

······

Inside the cave.

Lu Ming let go of his hand.

Keep a distance between the two.

Seeing Lu Ming restart the formation and place restrictions, Tang Wu said calmly: "Brother Lu, since there is no one else here, you and I don't have to pretend anymore."

"Speak directly if you have something to say, okay?"

"What is Brother Tang talking about? Why don't I understand?" Lu Ming looked confused.

"Brother Lu, you have gone too far. Since I came to find you and acted like this as soon as I opened my mouth, do you still think that I am deceiving you?"

Tang Wu sighed: "Why are you so hypocritical?"

"I really don't know what you are talking about." Lu Ming continued to be stubborn.

"Lu Ming."

Tang Wu called him by his first name: "You really won't shed tears until you enter the coffin. There is no relationship between you and me at all. We just met once or twice by chance."

"But the day you joined our sect, you acted so close to me. You just wanted to get closer to me and at the same time, ensure your status in the Haoyue Sect."

"This is enough to prove that you have ulterior motives!"

"Could it be that you think that I didn't expose you that day because I didn't know anything?"

"ridiculous!"

"Actually, I already know everything."

"The reason why I didn't reveal it and even took the initiative to cooperate with you is because I also have an agenda."

Lu Ming's expression changed again and again.

Finally, he lowered his voice and said: "So you already know it? You are quite good at pretending."

"hehe."

Tang Wu pouted, is it difficult to guess?

"Tell me what you want!"

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and asked.

Tang Wu raised his eyebrows and secretly thought that Lu Ming was not very smart.

In this way, wouldn't it be easier for me to control him?

But you have to be careful. This kind of person is probably a stubborn donkey. Once he is provoked, he may act recklessly.

Therefore, one cannot push too hard.

He smiled and said, "Do you think that besides pills, is there anything else in you, or what you know, that is worth caring about in this sequence?"

"···"

"As expected, I came here for the elixir."

Lu Ming suddenly realized, and his expression became even more ugly: "Tell me, what kind of elixir do you want?"

"Of course it's the Life-Knowing Pill, ninth grade!"

"Don't refuse, and don't say anything about how you can't refine the Ninth Grade Life-knowing Pill. As a great master of alchemy, as long as you think about it and are willing to work hard, how can you not refine it?"

Tang Wu chuckled.

From his perspective, he was still sure of Lu Ming.

"···"

Lu Ming was silent, and after a moment he said, "How much do you want?"

"How many?"

"Of course it's 'enough'. Don't worry, I don't have to force you too hard, and I won't sell it. As long as it's enough for me, it's enough."

"Oh, by the way, there are also pills for nourishing the soul. I also need some, preferably ninth grade ones!"

Ask me how much I want?

Tang Wu wanted to laugh.

I will eat this secret from you forever~!

"Don't refuse in a hurry."

"This is not a difficult task for you. The great master of alchemy can refine some elixirs, isn't it at your fingertips?"

"After all, you don't want your ulterior motives for joining the Haoyue Sect to be known by the sect leader and elders, right?"

"it is good."

Lu Ming gritted his teeth and uttered a few words from between his teeth: "I promise you."

"But you also have to promise not to tell anyone my secret."

"rest assured."

"I, Tang Wu, am most trustworthy and moral. Who doesn't know this?" Tang Wu patted his chest and boasted that he was invincible in his three views.

"I believe you for now."

Lu Ming was still very unhappy, and it was almost written on his face.

The more Tang Wu watched, the happier he became.

accurate?

It’s okay to be unhappy.

Who can feel comfortable being threatened or manipulated?

"However, I can't give it to you for the time being."

"It takes time to refine elixirs, and it takes even more time to refine ninth-grade elixirs!"

"Even if I am the great alchemy master you call me, I can't guarantee how high the success rate of ninth-grade elixirs will be."

"Okay, I'll give you time."

Tang Wu was very 'humane': "But now, you have to refine a furnace of Life-Knowing Pills for me, at least level seven."

"I will go back to practice first, and then come back after I finish eating. I think by then, the ninth-grade elixir should have been refined, right?"

"You are really good at calculating!"

Lu Ming gritted his teeth.

Tang Wu smiled faintly: "Where is it?"

"I think it would be like this for anyone else, right?"

"Maybe even better than me."

"Humph!"

Lu Ming snorted coldly, and then started refining the elixir.

Nearly an hour later, Tang Wu was satisfied and left with a batch of seventh-grade life-knowing pills.

Immediately, Lu Ming stretched.

"The fish has taken the bait."

"Next, it's the others."

"But then again, what does he want the elixir for nourishing the soul?"

Lu Ming pondered slightly: "His soul has not been damaged. Logically speaking, he does not need such pills. Therefore, it can be basically concluded that he also has an old man in the ring."

Recalling many details of meeting Tang Wu.

He actually wore a ring!

And he often touched the ring subconsciously. If he said that there was nothing wrong with the ring, Lu Ming would be the first to not believe it.

"Good guy."

"The Tang Shenwang with Grandpa Canhun?"

"this···"

"~"

"Hey, isn't it still Tang Shenwang?"

"It's not a big problem."

After killing Gu Yue Fangyuan, Lu Ming became bolder.

Whether it is the protagonist template or the destined child, it is not impossible to kill him!

It even seems that the mysterious way of heaven encourages these protagonist templates and sons of destiny to kill each other. This can be guessed from the 'benefits' gained by killing other protagonist templates.

That being the case...

There is no reason for me to be afraid of a fantasy floor tile~!

Could it be that having an old man can change your life against the will of heaven?

It's not that simple!

Or ~

Even if he knew his plan, it was only after this incident.

After this incident...

Whether he will survive is unknown.

Even if you want to settle the score with yourself afterwards, you have to survive first.

······

"Master, Tang Wu has left!"

"Good good!"

"Go down, you'll be rewarded."

Gu Qingyun was overjoyed and immediately set off with the gift.

Later, he successfully met Lu Ming.

"Great Elder."

Lu Ming was refining alchemy and seemed quite busy, but even so, when he learned that Gu Qingyun was coming to visit, he received him warmly and with all courtesy.

"Brother Lu, how can you personally greet me?"

"Where's the saint?"

"Shouldn't she be at your side and do these trivial things for you?"

Gu Qingyun frowned: "The saint is becoming more and more unruly."

"You actually dare to disobey the sect leader's orders?"

"There is no need for the Great Elder to be angry." Lu Ming shook his head: "I asked her to go back to practice. After all, Wen Ruyu is a saint of our sect. How can a saint of our sect serve me like a maid?"

"What she represents is the face of our entire Haoyue Sect."

"Of course, the stronger, the better."

"This..." Gu Qingyun looked better and nodded: "Elder Lu, you are serious."

"It's just that you are busy refining elixirs, but you don't even have a medicine boy around you. It's inappropriate!"

"How can you do all these little things yourself? This is inappropriate!"

"Not as good as..."

"How about I become the medicine boy?"

Gu Qingyun suddenly had an idea and changed his words directly: "You see, I am old, breakthrough does not happen overnight, and there is nothing important that I need to deal with."

"As long as I'm here, no one will dare to mess around."

"In my opinion, it is most suitable for me to be the medicine boy!"

Lu Ming: "..."

Are you serious?

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Just as he was about to refuse, he heard an angry curse: "Gu Qingyun, you are so shameless!"

"The great elder of our sect, every action represents the face of our sect, and he is also busy with everything. There are countless things waiting for you to arrange and handle!"

"But you said you wanted to be a medicine boy?"

"It's so unreasonable. Aren't you afraid of spreading the word and making people laugh?"

"And we, the entire Haoyue Sect, are laughing at the fact that the great elder actually lowered his status to become a medicine boy!!!"

Lu Ming looked back.

Gu Qingyun rolled his eyes and thought to himself that it was bad luck.

When he came in, Lu Ming did not reopen the formations and restrictions. Of course, he could not overstep his authority.

This also caused the sound of the two people's conversation to spread.

And the person who was yelling and mocking at this moment was none other than the second fucking elder!

Without waiting for the two to respond.

The second elder said again: "Elder Lu, I came here uninvited to visit you. I wonder if I can come in?"

"Second Elder, you're welcome. Please come in quickly."

Only then did the second elder enter.

That's called a thorough etiquette.

Gu Qingyun's brows jumped at the sight.

Damn it, this old man is shameless too.

You were so careless when you entered your own cave, and even broke into the Haoyue Palace, but you behaved yourself when you entered Elder Lu's cave?

Where is the old face? What is this?

shameless!

But the second elder directly ignored Gu Qingyun's disdain and stepped forward cheerfully: "Elder Lu, oh, I'm ashamed to say that."

"When we met a few days ago, I had just returned to the clan, so I didn't even have time to prepare the meeting ceremony."

"In the end, Elder Lu, who is new here, gave me a pot of pills, which really puts me to shame."

"Therefore, I have collected some gadgets in the past few days and sent them to Elder Lu."

"I also hope that Elder Lu will not dislike him."

He delivers gifts.

It's just a storage bag.

The Great Elder Gu Qingyun didn't know what was inside.

But at the moment, he was depressed.

Made! I was obviously the one who came first, so gifts should be given on a first-come, first-served basis, right?

You took the lead as soon as you arrived, that's too much!

He quickly followed up and took out a storage ring: "Hey, I just mentioned it casually, Elder Lu, there is no need for such nonsense between you and me, right?"

"After all, you and I have been friends for a long time in that inn..."

"Actually, I am here to bring some greeting gifts."

"Don't refuse!"

"Actually, I should have given it to you when we met at the inn that day, but I was too anxious that day and didn't have time to prepare. Please forgive me, forgive me~"

Lu Ming: "Ah?!"

He was really surprised.

This situation... can only be said to be within the plan.

According to the plan, at this moment, these elders should come over one after another and ask themselves to help them refine the elixir~

Well, they did come.

The purpose must also be to allow himself to refine the elixir.

But what is the situation when all gifts are given?

And just give me a storage bag and a storage ring...it can't be empty, right?

There must be something inside, more than one or two!

Otherwise, why use storage bags?

Why am I so embarrassed when you do this?

Lu Ming pondered slightly and looked at the two of them in confusion.

But both of them smiled brightly at the same time: "Take it, Elder Lu."

"If you don't accept it, you will look down on us!"

"Yes, and me!"

"Me too···"

"I really feel guilty for collecting Elder Lu's pills that day. But I didn't prepare anything at the time. Only now that I've made up for it, Elder Lu won't be angry if he doesn't accept it."

One elder after another came one after another.

All of them were well-mannered and had bright smiles. They were either holding a storage bag or a storage ring in their hands.

When many elders looked at each other, they all smiled and nodded.

But the spark in his eyes almost turned into substance and popped out.

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?

Lu Ming had given up all his thoughts.

But it’s not appropriate!

If you accept it, you have to agree to make elixirs for them.

How could he arouse conflicts by agreeing to make elixirs for them?

"inappropriate!"

His face straightened, and he refused sternly: "How can it be like this?!"

"Could it be that all the elders look down on me, Mr. Lu, so much?"

"Why did Elder Lu say this?" The elders were anxious: "We never meant this!"

"This is the first time we meet, and it is only natural that we should give you a meeting gift."

"Yes, if we looked down upon you, Elder Lu, we wouldn't give you a meeting gift."

"Please don't think too much about it!"

"Since you are not looking down on me, then take back these greeting gifts!" Lu Ming said with a straight face: "I am just a casual cultivator."

"It wasn't until I entered the Haoyue Sect and was treated sincerely by the Haoyue Sect that I felt like home."

"All the elders are my family!"

"Making elixirs for your family is a matter of course!"

"Besides, when I joined the sect, I received so many benefits. If I even receive benefits from refining a batch of elixirs for you, wouldn't I, Mr. Lu, become a wolf-hearted person, inferior to a pig or a dog?"

"So, all elders, please take it back!"

"If you come to chat or come to see me, I, Mr. Lu, will naturally welcome you."

"But if you just come here to give gifts, huh, why don't you just leave!"

Everyone looked at each other in shock and felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

Elder Lu is a good man!

But if you don’t accept the gift, how can we have the nerve to ask you to make elixirs?

You don’t think we are really here just to give you gifts, do you?

Or···

He had already guessed our intention, and the reason why he refused was because he didn't want to make elixirs for us. After all, he is soft-spoken and soft-handed, so after accepting a gift, it would be difficult to refuse.

They are all human beings.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided that Lu Ming at this moment belonged to the second situation.

I don’t want to make elixirs for them!

How can that work?

Even if you don’t accept other people’s things, at least you have to accept ‘mine’, right?

They were all anxious.

Scramble.

But the Great Elder is the most majestic after all: "Everyone, please be quiet and let me say a few words!"

"Elder Lu is overly concerned. Giving greeting gifts is an unwritten rule of our Haoyue Sect!"

"What's more..."

"You should take a look at it."

"Just take a look~"

Gu Qingyun is very confident.

As long as you take a look~

I don't believe you are not tempted!

Other elders are also so confident.

"It's hard to refuse such kindness from all of you. I, Mr. Lu, really..." Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "Then, can I just take a look?"

"Look!"

"Of course I have to take a look."

"Come, come, take a look."

immediately.

They opened a corner of their storage bags and storage rings for Lu Ming to check.

At first glance, Lu Ming's eyes widened~!

This is really not an act.

These are all good things!

Really good stuff!

Either cherish elixirs or spiritual materials, or things that are of great benefit to cultivation, or rare treasures that are of great help in alchemy!

Every one of them is good stuff.

If we collect them all, and take back the Moon Reaching Sect, the resources of the Reaching the Moon Sect can take off instantly!

pity···

Cannot be collected.

You cannot take it back even if it is collected for a short period of time, otherwise once it is exposed, it will cause disaster. Whether it is himself or Lan Yue Sect.

But~~~

It's still okay to install it.

Lu Ming's eyes widened. Gu Qingyun and others could clearly see that desire and greed.

But in the end, he withdrew his gaze with great difficulty and sighed: "Your thoughts, I..."

"I understand."

"But I really can't accept it."

Can't accept it?

Gu Qingyun and others were surprised.

You want it to be like that, why don't you accept it?

Could that greedy expression still be fake?

wrong!

If you want it but still don’t accept it, it means there must be something hidden inside~!

Gu Qingyun pondered for a moment, then coughed dryly and said, "Elder Lu, actually I am not just here to make up for the meeting gift, but I have something to ask for."

"If you don't accept it, I really can't say this!"

Can't open this mouth? Haven't you already spoken?

If you don't say this again, I'll be tired of acting, okay?

Lu Ming complained secretly, and then looked at the others: "Then the other elders can't be the same..."

"We also have something to ask for!"

Although the gifts haven't been sent out yet, the great elder is already preparing to reveal his past. How can he and others fall behind?

"I see!"

Lu Ming suddenly understood and smiled for a moment, but then showed a look of vigilance. He still did not accept the gift, but said: "I don't know, why are you elders here?"

This seems a bit pretentious.

who are you?

Great Master of Alchemy, why else would we come to you?

However, there are all smart people present, and even if they see through this kind of pretense, they won’t tell you.

Instead, he gave an 'awkward smile': "Haha, this is embarrassing to say."

"Ashamed."

"It's this... I don't know about them." Gu Qingyun relied on his status and was the first to speak: "But I have been stuck in the current realm for hundreds of years."

"Hundreds of years of history."

He was extremely sad: "Although we monks have a long lifespan, we have been stuck in a small realm for hundreds of years without being able to break through. It can almost be said that we can see the end at a glance."

"If there is no other opportunity, it will be a dead end after all."

"I don't want to die yet."

"If I want to live, I want to see the higher and more exciting scenery, so..."

"I can only shamelessly come here to ask you, Elder Lu, to give me a way out~!"

Damn, this old guy is so shameless.

Relying on his high status, he was the first to speak, and even just talked about how miserable he was, excluding us all, making it seem like our lives were easy?

Outrageous!

I have never seen such a shameless person.

They cursed secretly in their hearts, but they couldn't help but speak one after another.

"The Great Elder's words are wrong. You have indeed been stuck in the current state for hundreds of years, but will we be able to relax?"

"Yes!"

"It's hard for me to wait."

"Every family has its cupboard."

"Yes, my last breakthrough was more than ten years ago, and I am younger than you, but Great Elder, please don't forget that my level is much lower than yours! If you really think about it, if we can't move forward Okay, in the end, I will be the one who runs out of life and dies first, right?"

"That's it, Great Elder, you can't just talk about how difficult it is for you and ignore us!"

"Elder Lu, I feel ashamed to say it, but in fact we are all here for the elixir."

"···"

Lu Ming blinked, then patted his chest: "Don't be anxious, everyone, don't be anxious."

"I already understand what you mean."

"I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out that you just wanted me to help you refine the elixir. What's the problem? I'm an alchemist. Refining elixirs is just my job."

"And I joined the Haoyue Sect to make elixirs for you."

"No need to fight!"

"There is no need to hurt the harmony."

Everyone was immediately overjoyed.

"Elder Lu is so heroic!"

"I knew that Elder Lu was unprecedented and unprecedented!"

"Since Elder Lu agreed, let's just accept this meeting gift~!"

They are excited.

But he never forgot his original intention - to give gifts.

Isn’t it strange that there are so many people?

Although he promised quickly and well, who knows what will happen to him after he turns around? But it's different if you give a gift. As the saying goes, people have short hands.

As long as he takes advantage of himself, he will have to practice it on himself sooner or later!

Only in this way can you feel more at ease.

"Yes, yes, Elder Lu, take it!"

"We don't have any other intentions, we just mean it."

"It's just, it's such a small thing, I'm really embarrassed."

"You are so persistent..."

The greed in Lu Ming's eyes became even stronger, and the smile on his face became brighter: "It would be rude if I try to push it away again."

"Besides, I don't dare to refuse the gift given by the elders. Strictly speaking, you are all my elders. If I refuse any more, it is really unjustifiable."

"I'll accept it shamelessly..."

Lu Ming stretched out his hand.

Gu Qingyun and other elders were overjoyed and handed over the storage bags and storage rings they had prepared.

The gift giving is about to be successful.

Lu Ming suddenly paused again, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Then, in their astonished eyes, they took their hands back with great difficulty.

"this···"

"I thought about it carefully, but I still can't accept it."

"Still can't accept it? Why?!"

They're numb.

Are you kidding us? !

Sometimes it is collected and sometimes it is not collected.

It can be collected sometimes and cannot be collected sometimes.

What are you doing!

It makes our mood fluctuate, which is very uncomfortable, right? !

"Oh, I'm ashamed to say it." Lu Ming sighed.

Everyone: "..."

Okay, is it your turn to feel ashamed again?

But Lu Ming said again: "It is indeed my duty to refine the elixirs for the elders. Logically speaking, I will never refuse, and I should do my best."

"But now, I can't agree to it immediately."

"Why?"

"Yes, why?"

"Is there something important?"

Gu Qingyun waved his hand: "If that's the case, Elder Lu will tell you, no, just give him whatever he wants, and we will definitely solve it for you in the shortest possible time!"

"Not bad~"

All the elders nodded.

"You can't help me with this matter..."

Lu Ming was a little confused, and after a moment he said, "Oh, that's all."

"The elders treat me so sincerely. If I still hide them, I would be too impersonal."

"That's the thing."

He smiled bitterly and explained: "Everyone should know that I have some connections with Tang Wu, the seventh rank of your sect, and we have a very good relationship."

"He just came looking for me."

"Ask me to help him make elixirs."

"Considering that I have a very good relationship with him and are as close as brothers, and now that we are from the same school, there is no reason to refuse, so I fully agreed to him."

"I thought it wouldn't take long to refine the elixirs he needs. Once completed, I can refine elixirs for other people in the sect, including the elders."

"But who knows, I agreed too early."

"I won't be able to refine the elixir Brother Tang wants for a while."

"Ugh!"

With a sigh, Lu Ming continued: "I can't even refine his elixir in a short while, so how can I dare to agree to the elders casually?"

"Are you even going to accept these gifts?"

"It's so inappropriate, so inappropriate!"

"It's better to ask the elders to take it back."

"How about after I complete the elixirs I promised Tang Wu, I will refine them for you elders one by one?"

He vividly interprets his mentality and expressions after being "tricked by a friend", being bitten by a snake for ten years, being afraid of ropes, wanting gifts, but worried about being cheated and being tricked.

A group of old foxes didn't see anything wrong.

On the contrary, it feels reasonable.

Isn’t that what it is? !

If not, is there any other explanation? !

That Tang Wu is really not a good person.

A villain!

How abominable~!

He actually came to trick us, Elder Lu, because of his good relationship with Elder Lu!

In vain, Elder Lu treated you as a brother, but in the end, you treated and deceived your brother like this, right?

As a result, after the trap was over, we now have no pills to take.

Are you still a human being?

They looked at each other with a cold glint in their eyes.

"A mere seventh-order person dares to be so arrogant."

"This is really unreasonable."

"I don't know how many pills this bastard asked Elder Lu to refine for him, but it actually takes a long time to complete?"

"I'm afraid it may not be much, but the quality will definitely be high!"

"Huh, who cares how much he wants?! The Haoyue Sect now is ultimately decided by us old guys. The younger generation wants to stand up and take charge of the family? It's still thousands of years early!"

"He's got to be hammered."

"Correct!"

"How can a seventh-sequence promotion be better than the backbone of us?"

"Today is the golden age, and it is the time to employ people. We, even if we can improve to a small level, are more useful than these little guys who can improve to a large level. Why should we let them occupy resources?"

"You all have an idea of ​​what to do, right?"

"Of course there are many!"

"That being the case, I won't say anything more."

"Retreat first, don't embarrass Elder Lu."

"As for Tang Wu, I'll just wait and work on it slowly."

"···"

······

"I see."

After the spiritual transmission ended, Gu Qingyun laughed: "That's it."

"I'm not a big deal, so why is this so difficult?"

"You can refine it for us after you, Elder Lu, are done!"

"I will keep the meeting gift for now. The refining matter is not urgent. We will talk about it when you are free, Elder Lu."

"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he left immediately.

Lu Ming was not given a chance to refuse at all.

The other elders also followed suit, throwing down their storage bags and storage rings and running away.

Before the second elder left, he even said with a faint smile: "Elder Lu, don't worry, I believe that Tang Wu's elixir will be successfully refined in just a short time."

"See you."

He cupped his hands and walked away quietly.

Soon, Lu Ming was the only one left in the entire cave.

Looking at the storage bags and storage rings on the floor, Lu Ming sighed.

After setting up the formations and restrictions, a gust of autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves and put them all away.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

"It's a pity that these things cannot see the light of day for the time being."

"Otherwise, our Lan Yue Sect is not allowed to take off directly?"

According to his estimation, the value of these things is almost equivalent to the entire net worth of a peak seventh-level or even a powerful figure in the eighth level!

If you really sell them all for Yuan Stone, it will be enough to forcefully cultivate a low-level force into a second-rate force!

The premise is that this huge wealth can be kept.

"But I can use it now."

"It can be used to enhance one's strength. After being refined into a pill, it can be dispersed as long as no one finds it."

"what?"

"Wen Ruyu is here, waiting quietly outside the cave, even making a futon, and practicing directly at the entrance of the cave?"

Lu Ming frowned: "Sent here to monitor me?"

"They should not have any doubts about me now. Rather than saying that Wen Ruyu came to monitor me, it is better to say that after the elders learned about Tang Wu, they were afraid that similar incidents would happen again, so they asked Wen Ruyu to guard me?"

"In that case, let her guard it."

Lu Ming smiled slightly.

Immediately, he began to practice on his own.

Alchemy?

What kind of elixir should I practice?

Your good days, Tang Wu, are coming to an end~

Even if I refine a good elixir, you may not be qualified to enjoy it.

"Tang Shenwang, work harder~"

"I'm looking forward to it."

"You have to burst out your own power and characteristics, let us see your power, right?"

······

"Then Tang Wu is too greedy!"

"Elder Lu doesn't have time to refine it in a short period of time. Humph, he's not afraid of pushing himself to death!"

"Call Wen Ruyu over and keep watch! Why are you so ignorant?"

"Let's go find Tang Wu, but keep a low profile and don't make trouble for everyone to know."

"If word gets out, a group of elders like me will embarrass a junior over the elixir. It won't sound good."

Gu Qingyun and other elders cursed and left in search of Tang Wu.
