My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Just when the cavalry division was rapidly transforming, Jiang Li suddenly received news from Zhao Hong.

It was said that Wang Yuanyi and Queqiao Shao had returned, and they had brought several Maoshan Taoists with them, and Elder Li Lin was among them.

After hearing this news, Jiang Li was somewhat puzzled. "Li Lin is already old, but he came all the way from Maoshan to see me. Could it be that he has something important to tell me?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Li handed over the training matter to Sun Yousheng and the Deguo officer, and then left.

When he arrived at the government hall, he saw five people sitting in the room drinking tea.

In addition to Wang Yuanyi, Li Lin and Queqiao Shao, there were two Taoists, one old and one young, whom he did not know. Seeing this, he did not stop, but walked up to him quickly with a smile on his face and saluted to Li Lin with a fist.

"Elder Li has come from afar, I hope you will forgive me for not coming to greet you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lin returned the greeting and said, "Commander, you are too polite. I heard that you killed an ancient six-winged centipede in Pingshan and got a dragon ball, so I followed Yuan Yi to take a look."

"However, your Netherworld Battle Flag is hard to find because of the difficulty in finding the materials. I have no idea about it for the time being. I hope the Commander will forgive me!"

Jiang Li waved his hand casually after hearing this, "What are you talking about, Elder Li? The Netherworld Battle Flag is something from the underworld, so it is naturally difficult to repair. I can understand that!"

As he said this, he turned around and looked at Wang Yuanyi. Seeing this, Wang Yuanyi immediately bowed and saluted, "Please don't blame me, Commander. I didn't mean to leak secrets. I just spoke too quickly. That's why..."

"Alright, alright. Anyway, the money we earned from digging graves was used to fight disasters and save people. It's not something shameful. There's no need to hide it!"

At this time, the Taoist priest next to Li Lin, whom Jiang Li did not know, spoke up, "I also saw what Commander Jiang said about saving the people when I came here. It is indeed a great deed. I admire you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately looked at the old man, only to see that he had white eyebrows and beard, but a ruddy complexion, and his eyes were glowing with light, and his spirit was restrained, making him look like a Taoist master with an immortal appearance.

Jiang Li then clasped his fists and bowed, and asked in a gentle voice, "May I ask what your name is, senior? Where is the immortal mountain where you practice?"

The old man laughed when he heard this, "Hahahaha, Commander Jiang, you're too polite!"

"I am Zhang Qingxuan, the current Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu. This is my disciple's grandson. We came down the mountain to discuss some matters at Mount Mao."

"Because I heard that Commander Jiang killed a six-winged centipede, I had the audacity to bring my little disciple Zhang Zhiwei here to see the world!"

When Jiang Li heard what he said, he was immediately stunned, "Zhang Zhiwei, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere before?"

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the handsome young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old with red lips, white teeth and lively eyes.

Seeing Jiang Li looking at him, the young man named Zhang Zhiwei immediately saluted him and said, "Little Taoist Zhang Zhiwei, greetings to Commander Jiang!"

Jiang Li was brainstorming at the moment and didn't pay any attention to what he said.

It turned out that when he heard the name, he felt it was very familiar. After thinking about it for a few times, he immediately remembered where he had heard the name.

It was the old Taoist priest in the later cartoon "Under One Person". He was very familiar with this. As the saying goes, if he is happy, he is second only to the emperor, and if he is unhappy, he is below the emperor.

Seeing Jiang Li in a daze, Zhang Qingxuan asked softly, "Commander Jiang, if my disciple has done anything offensive, just tell me and I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

Jiang Li came back to his senses after hearing what Zhang Qingxuan said. He smiled and explained, "Master Zhang, you are worrying too much. Your disciple did not offend me. I was thinking of an old friend, so I was distracted!"

In order to ease the awkwardness, he extended his hand and invited a few people to go to the main hall, and he also took out the centipede monster's inner elixir, as well as materials such as its shell fascia from the storage ring.

"Look, two seniors. Here are the materials and inner elixir taken from the centipede monster. However, because we don't know whether the inner elixir is safe, we have never used it properly. Instead, we use the centipede meat to feed the chickens."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin and Zhang Qingxuan immediately stepped forward, carefully took the inner elixir and the materials, and began to observe them carefully.

After watching for a long time, Zhang Qingxuan finally sighed, "Commander Jiang is really lucky!"

"You may not know that this six-winged centipede is an ancient beast. Although it is a demon beast, its inner elixir is a rare treasure. Even if you swallow it directly, your power will increase greatly!"

"And considering that this centipede monster has cultivated for more than 800 years, it can at least improve your skills by 30 years!"

When Jiang Li heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he was overjoyed. "Master Zhang is serious. Can taking this inner elixir really improve my skills by thirty years?"

At this time, Li Lin on the side also affirmed, "Master Zhang is right. If the commander takes this inner pill and refines it, he will have at least thirty years of power."

"However, the power obtained in this way is external after all, so the purity may be a little insufficient. As for how to choose, I hope the commander will make his own decision."

As he said that, he returned all the shell fascia in his hand to Jiang Li, and Zhang Qingxuan also returned the centipede monster's inner elixir.

At this moment, Jiang Li's heart was already in turmoil, because with his current cultivation level of the seventh level of Earth Master.

If one were to swallow the centipede spirit's inner elixir, it would be no problem for him to break through to the level of Heavenly Master in one fell swoop, and even taking one step further would not be impossible.

As for the issue of affecting the purity of his power, he naturally would not take it to heart. After all, the Yin-Yang Hehuan Jue practiced by the two sisters Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu just happened to have the effect of purifying magic power.

With this increase and decrease, isn't it equivalent to having no side effects?

However, although his eyes were eager at this moment, he did not take the elixir immediately. After all, the time and place were not right.

In order to ease his eagerness, he took out the dragon ball from the storage ring.

"You two seniors are very knowledgeable. Can you help me see what this dragon ball is used for? I have already poured a lot of mana into it, and I found that apart from being brighter, there seems to be no other changes!"

When the two heard about dragon balls, their eyes lit up again. Although they were quite old, they had never seen a real dragon, but they had seen quite a few flooded dragons.

When Li Lin took the glowing dragon ball, he immediately felt the warmth it emanated. He then saw that although it was glowing all over, it was not dazzling.

After observing carefully for a while, they discovered the warm magical power inside the dragon ball.

At this time, Zhang Qingxuan turned to Jiang Li and said, "To be honest, I have lived to such an old age, but I have never seen a real dragon."
