Chapter 16: My brother-in-law said I have high hopes for you
The dragon roar outside scared a group of Qi Refining disciples so much that their faces turned pale.
The head of the sect, Zhong Lingdao, showed a look of joy on his face and shouted, "Uncle Li is here!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Accompanied by a hearty laugh, an old man with a ruddy face, a square head and big ears strode in.
He looked to be about fifty or sixty years old. Although his hair was gray, he was in good spirits. His tiger eyes were intimidating without even being angry. He was obviously a strong-willed person.
When Master Zhong saw the old man appear, he immediately trotted forward, calling him "Uncle Master Li" all the time with great enthusiasm and a look full of flattery.
Several other foundation-building monks also came forward to pay their respects.
They were all envious when they saw that Sect Leader Zhong could get in front of Master Li and flatter him.
Who wouldn't want this opportunity?
He is a cultivator in the Jindan stage. It is a great honor to be able to talk to him.
If you flatter him enough and he feels satisfied, you can reward him with something and make a fortune!
Seeing this scene, all the Qi-refining disciples of Huangfeng Valley were greatly surprised.
Normally these managers in the foundation-building stage are so arrogant, but how could they become so humble?
"This is Elder Li Huayuan, one of the several Jindan stage cultivators in our Huangfeng Valley. Remember to say hello to Uncle Li when you see him in the future!" Sect Leader Zhong turned around and said to everyone with a dignified look.
"Greetings to Grandmaster Li!"
The Qi Refining Stage disciples hurriedly saluted, looking extremely respectful.
A feeling of excitement immediately arose in many people's hearts.
This is our great master who is in the Jindan stage. It’s rare to see him once in a lifetime!
To these Qi Refining disciples, Core Forming cultivators are simply gods in heaven.
They will never be able to reach the realm of Master Li in their entire life.
"Everyone, get up!"
Li Huayuan is a generous person and does not care about those false etiquette.
He glanced at the dozens of Qi Refining disciples and nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, it seems that the lineup for the Blood Ban Trial this time is acceptable!" said Grandmaster Li.
"Uncle-master, this time we have called the top three people in the Qi Refining Stage in the valley!" Master Zhong came close to Grandmaster Li and said with a nod and a bow.
"Well, it seems that you have done a good job in training disciples over the years!" said Master Li, stroking his beard.
Hearing this, Master Zhong showed a look of surprise on his face.
He quickly said: "This is all thanks to Senior Linghu, Senior Li and other seniors. I just did some insignificant work!"
"You don't have to be so modest. We have all seen your hard work over the years. We can only feel at ease if we hand over the position of the headmaster to you!" Grandmaster Li said slowly.
An expression of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Master Zhong's face.
Ye Changsheng noticed that those managers in the Foundation Establishment Stage all showed deep jealousy and envy in their eyes.
With Master Li's words, the position of the head of Zhong Lingdao can be secured for many more years!
Grandmaster Li glanced at his disciples again.
He even stayed for a second or two more on those disciples with advanced cultivation.
Ye Changsheng saw that there was a hint of encouragement and appreciation in the eyes of Master Li when he looked at him.
His heart skipped a beat, fearing that this person might notice something unusual.
Fortunately, this Grandmaster Li’s cultivation has not yet reached the level of being a god.
He just felt that Ye Changsheng's magical power was much stronger than that of ordinary disciples, so he paid more attention to him.
Retracting his gaze, Grandmaster Li said with full energy: "Let's go!"
Then he walked out of the hall.
Upon seeing this, several Foundation Building Managers hurriedly urged everyone to go outside.
As soon as they walked out of the hall, the disciples gasped.
In the air outside the hall, a huge silver monster over 20 feet long was hanging there. The oppressive aura brought by its huge body made everyone feel suffocated.
Grandmaster Li stood on the monster's head, looking down at the people below.
Seeing how shocked these Qi Refining disciples were, he felt very satisfied.
"Everyone , come up and stand still. My silver-armored horned python is much faster than your own flying tools!"
A group of people stepped onto the back of the silver-armored horned python with trepidation, observing the huge monster carefully.
Li Huayuan gently patted the huge horn of the silver-armored horned python. The next moment, the silver-armored horned python let out a long roar, shaking the whole area.
Then, it immediately penetrated into the clouds and mist, and rushed out of the Yellow Maple Valley as fast as an arrow.
Some Qi Refining disciples didn't react in time and almost fell to the ground due to their unstable footing.
After standing firm again, everyone looked at the surrounding scenery and exclaimed in amazement.
Although it is the same sea of clouds and fairy mist, looking at it while standing on a low-grade magic weapon and admiring it while standing on the back of such a majestic monster are two completely different realms.
The latter is something you can brag about for the rest of your life.
The Blood Forbidden Land is far away from the Yellow Maple Valley. Even a monster like the Silver-armored Horned Python would take two days and two nights to get there.
During these two days and two nights, everyone stayed on the back of the silver-armored horned python.
After admiring the scenery of Taiyue Mountains for a while, Ye Changsheng felt bored and sat down to breathe.
At this moment, a figure suddenly walked over.
Ye Changsheng opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man in his forties appearing in front of him.
He has a bookish look on his face and an elegant temperament all over his body. He looks like a great scholar with a wealth of knowledge.
"You must be Junior Brother Ye Changsheng, right? Haha, you are indeed a handsome man!" The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked Ye Changsheng up and down with admiration in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Chen Qiaotian, Qiaoqian's elder brother!" said the middle-aged scholar with a smile.
"Chen Qiaotian? So Senior Sister Chen was talking about him?" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
He remembered.
In the original novel, after Senior Sister Chen lost the Foundation Establishment Pill, she came to the Bloody Forbidden Land with her elder brother.
After returning, Senior Sister Chen successfully established her foundation, but her elder brother failed.
However, after the invasion of the demons and the great changes in the Kingdom of Yue, Chen Qiaotian came from behind and cultivated to the middle stage of the Jindan stage.
However, Senior Sister Chen failed to form the elixir and eventually passed away.
The relationship between these two siblings was very good, so Senior Sister Chen entrusted her elder brother to take care of Ye Changsheng during the Blood Ban Trial.
"So you are Senior Sister Chen's elder brother. I am grateful for your courtesy!" Ye Changsheng stood up and bowed.
"Haha, Junior Brother Ye, there's no need to be so polite!" Chen Qiaotian showed a kind smile on his face.
He carefully looked at Ye Changsheng and thought to himself, "He is indeed an outstanding guy. No wonder my little sister is so attracted to him!"
"However, he is also a thirteenth-level cultivator. Does he still need my care? You are worrying too much!"
"Junior brother, if we meet after entering the Bloody Forbidden Land, we can support each other!" Chen Qiaotian said.
"Of course, I will have to rely on you when the time comes!"
"Haha, Junior Brother is too modest!"
