Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

The next day, Lu Li packed up and left Xiangxi. Xiangxi was not far from Guangfu. After walking for another half a month, Lu Li arrived in Guangfu.

Looking at the familiar gate of the charity cemetery, Lu Li became excited. This was where he had lived since he came to this world. He had been traveling for more than a year and felt like he had returned from a study trip.

"Dong dong!"

Lu Li knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Wencai's voice came from the yard.

"It's me, open the door!"

"Is that you, Senior Brother? You're back!" Wencai opened the door in surprise. "It's Senior Brother, you're finally back." After saying that, he hugged Lu Li.

Lu Li patted Wencai on the back and said with a smile: "How come you haven't reached the Qi training stage in more than a year? Are you planning to be a Taoist child for life?"

Wencai lowered his head in embarrassment. At this time, Uncle Jiu and Qiu Sheng heard the voices and walked out of the house.

"Master!"

"Ali?"

"Big Brother!"

Lu Li quickly stepped forward and hugged Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu smiled with relief. Nothing could make him happier than seeing his apprentice return safely.

He let go of Uncle Jiu and greeted Qiu Sheng. This kid was still in the middle stage of Qi training, but his cultivation had become much more stable and his temperament had also become much more stable. It seemed that Qiu Sheng had not wasted the past year or so.

Uncle Jiu's cultivation was still in the middle stage of foundation building, but his face was ruddy and he walked with great vigor. Uncle Jiu had been consolidating his foundation, and he might reach the late stage of foundation building someday.

"It's been a good year. I've heard about your story, but how did you get together with that group of tomb robbers?" After they entered the house and sat down, Uncle Jiu asked Lu Li about the recent rumors in the spiritual world.

Does news spread so quickly? The news had already spread as soon as I arrived in Renjia Town.

"I didn't deliberately make friends with him. I heard some rumors when I arrived in Hunan Province, and we just happened to meet when I went there."

Uncle Jiu nodded. He knew his disciple had grown up and had his own way to go, but he still gave him a reminder.

"Those people are not of the same kind as us. We in Maoshan cannot use what we have learned to dig graves and dump dirt. That is detrimental to our virtue."

Lu Li smiled and said, "Master, I understand, but guess what I got there?"

Uncle Jiu was stunned, wondering if his eldest disciple had dug up some treasure.

Lu Li deliberately took out the talisman, and with a pinch of his fingers, a few books appeared in his hand. They were the four books he got in Pingshan, namely "Collection of Alchemy", "True Explanation of Alchemy", "Liu Ji's Taoist Scriptures" and "Narratives of Ancient Qigong Practitioners".

Uncle Jiu's eyes remained on the object-collecting talisman in Lu Li's hand. "What is this? An object-collecting talisman! You really figured it out!"

Lu Li smiled smugly, he liked seeing Uncle Jiu's shocked expression.

"Hehe, lucky, lucky."

He said he was lucky, but his face looked like he was about to praise me.

"You little bastard, you're showing off in front of your master. Do you have any more? Just find one if I don't believe you." Uncle Jiu knew this disciple too well. If there was only one, he wouldn't show off in front of him.

He took out another one and handed it to Uncle Jiu. What good things had he gotten in the past ten years? Lu Li had never forgotten Uncle Jiu. After all, he was his only relative in this world.

"What a good stuff! I've only seen this thing once in the hands of the master. Even the elders on the mountain don't have it." Uncle Jiu smiled foolishly with an intoxicated look on his face.

"Senior brother, do you have anything for me?" Although Wencai didn't quite understand what this was, he instinctively felt that it was a good thing.

Lu Li reached out and took out ten dollars and handed them to Wencai. This pleased Wencai more than anything else.

He then took out a bronze sword and handed it to Qiu Sheng, who could now use it.

This was taken from Uncle Master Zhuge Dagui. It's a low-level magic weapon, about the same level as the one used by Taoist Simu. Both are made of cinnabar and rooster blood, and have been blessed in front of the ancestor. There are many of them in the refining room. Lu Li thought of Qiu Sheng at that time, so he asked for one, and everyone was happy this time.

Uncle Jiu woke up from his intoxication and started to look at the books on the table. The more he read, the more serious his expression became, especially when he saw "Liu Ji Dao Jing". Putting the book down, Uncle Jiu fell into deep thought, his fingers tapping on the table unconsciously.

At this time, no one in the room spoke.

After a while, Uncle Jiu said, "Ah Li, this thing is too important for a sect, especially these three books."

Uncle Jiu stroked the "Liu Ji Taoist Scriptures", "Alchemy Collection" and "The True Explanation of Alchemy".

“These two books are not quite up to par. After all, they are about alchemy. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce now, and there are few medicinal materials that have become popular in the Dharma Ending Age. Therefore, many of the elixirs in them cannot be refined. However, the elixir recipes that can be refined in them can cause a sensation in the secular world. For a sect, they are its foundation.

But this one."

Uncle Jiu picked up the "Liu Ji Dao Jing" and said, "This book can be used to establish a school of thought. It covers everything from divination, feng shui, and formations. I have only heard of some formations, but they have been lost. Many of the feng shui formations are unheard of."

Lu Li was dumbfounded. He didn't expect these books to be so important. He just thought that they were left by his ancestors and it would be a pity to lose them. He also remembered that his uncle liked to collect books, but he never thought about the importance of these things.

"Then Master, what should we do with these books?"

"I'll keep the Liu Ji Dao Jing for now. As for the two books on alchemy, I'll go to the ancestral temple and the sect to exchange them for some useful things when I have time. No one here knows how to make alchemy, so keep the other one as well. They both contain some secrets."

Lu Li nodded. He was also a true disciple of Maoshan. The stronger Maoshan was, the more confident he would be. They all achieved each other. Besides, the master and the founder had saved his life, so he had no objection to handing the skills over to the sect. He could even get some good things in return.

"Ah Li, if you come across such books in the future, you must take them back. In the past few hundred years, the Central Plains has been in constant war, and many Taoist classics have been lost. Some Taoists have gone into seclusion to practice, causing many unique secret methods to be lost. As a result, many skills that we heard about before are no longer available."

Uncle Jiu's face was full of regret. This was not only a loss for the Taoist sect, but also a loss for the Central Plains.

What Lu Li was thinking about was flying with a sword, which seemed to be the true secret technique of Shushan. He would go to Chuanfu to take a look when he had the chance.

Lu Li then told Uncle Jiu about taking a centipede's inner elixir and described what happened in the tomb. Uncle Jiu listened carefully, took Lu Li's arm and felt his pulse. He saw that Lu Li's pulse was strong and his Qi was powerful, with no signs of poisoning at all. Only then did he feel relieved.

He glanced at Lu Li and scolded him, "You are still a child. You eat carelessly. Do you know whether the inner pill is poisonous? You put it in your mouth. If you are poisoned by the pill, you will probably report to the ancestor when we find your body."

Lu Lixin said that he dared to eat it only because he knew it was not poisonous, and said, "Then Master, this inner pill is not poisonous."

Uncle Jiu asked Lu Li what his reaction was after eating it, and Lu Li told him the truth.

Touching his chin, Uncle Jiu said, "It seems that the poison has been absorbed by the six-winged centipede, and the essence is stored in the inner elixir. This inner elixir is not only non-toxic, but also makes you immune to all poisons after taking it. At the same time, it strengthens your bones and muscles, increases your strength and Taoism. You are lucky."

Several people looked at Lu Li with envy, especially Wencai. He could increase his skills without practicing and strengthen his body. Isn't this the treasure they have always dreamed of!

In the evening, several people went to a big restaurant in the town for a meal to celebrate Lu Li's safe return and the fact that he had made a name for himself in the spiritual world. There were many people from Xiangling from all over the world, and this time they relied on Lu Li to obtain the treasure of Pingshan, so they were even more grateful to Lu Li.

So the name of Lu Li, the Taoist priest of Maoshan, spread in the martial arts world, and Lu Li became the top figure in the spiritual world recently.

Hearing these things from Uncle Jiu made Lu Li feel a little amused and helpless.
