My wife left me in my old age, so I built the strongest family

"Will you take care of the food?"

The voice was not loud, but it lingered in the Zhou family hall.

The Zhou family was all baffled.

Li Changqing, who should have run away with his tail between his legs, not only did not run away, but also dared to ask whether he would be provided with food.

This kind of courage is rare.

"This old guy does look quite respectable."

"Haha, if you can become an alchemist just by pretending, then we can all become immortals right now."

"I think this old man is just too proud. He can't find a way out, so he just keeps going down this path."

Everyone in the Zhou family was amused and confused by Li Changqing's words.

I have to say that this old man is quite determined and is much better than the swindlers who came to the Zhou family to cheat people before.

However, it only looks like it, and its authenticity remains to be verified.

Even the housekeeper Zhou who introduced Li Changqing in didn't hold out much hope.

"Master, don't worry. In half an hour, Master Wu Xiaodan will be here. If he can't help, there is still Master Wu Xiaodan."

After the housekeeper said this, Zhou Gang's expression looked a little better.

"Yes, as long as Master Wu Xiaodan arrives and prepares the magic elixir, Li'er will be saved!"

"Li'er? What Li'er?"

"Could it be Zhou Li, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family?"

Li Changqing heard everything they said, and then he understood.

It turns out that the Zhou family is so eager to make elixirs because the eldest daughter, Zhou Li, has contracted a strange disease and needs to make a miraculous elixir to treat it.

That's why he recruited alchemists to come here to make elixirs.

The sick young lady seemed to be Zhou Li, one of the three great beauties in Ma County.

"I never thought I'd run into two of the three most beautiful women on my first day in town!"

After Li Changqing entered the city, he confirmed that the female constable who had previously locked him up in a small dark room for interrogation was the legendary erotic constable Wang Ni.

He turned around and went back to Zhou's house, where he happened to see the eldest daughter of the Zhou family was ill.

Meeting two of these three beauties in one day is something that ordinary villagers cannot even imagine.

After all, ordinary people won't spend a lot of money to take the back door.

He would not be invited into the Zhou family as an alchemist.

Therefore, the fact that Li Changqing can reach this point is due to his unusualness.

"Please wait here for a moment. After half an hour, Master Wu will arrive and we can start refining the elixir."

The housekeeper took Li Changqing to a room and let him rest for a while.

Li Changqing originally wanted to try his skills directly, but the Zhou family's most anticipated person was the Little Alchemist Wu, and they didn't value him at all, so he could only wait until Little Alchemist Wu arrived before they could refine the elixir together.

"What is Master Wu Xiaodan? Who is he?"

He also wanted to see whether Master Wu Xiaodan was worth his half-hour wait.

……

Half an hour passed.

Li Changqing stayed in Zhou's house and did not hear about the arrival of Master Wu Xiaodan.

Another half hour passed, then a whole hour, before exciting voices were heard from outside.

"Here he comes, Master Wu Xiaodan is finally here!"

"Why did it take so long? Logically, he should have arrived at our house half an hour ago."

"Alas, you don't know. That guy surnamed Wu got really excited when he passed by Hongyue Tower and went in to play a few rounds. That's why he came out so late."

"This bastard, we spent a lot of money to invite him here, and he even went to a brothel on the way. What a grand show."

"Hush! We can't afford to offend them, so we should speak slowly and not be overheard."

……

Listening to the discussions outside, Li Changqing couldn't help but twitch his lips.

At this time, a member of the Zhou family hurried to Li Changqing's door and urged:

"Old man, you heard this too. Master Wu Xiaodan has arrived at our house and is about to start the furnace. Why are you still staying here? Come with me quickly and don't delay Master Wu Xiaodan's alchemy."

"..."

After hearing these words, Li Changqing felt uneasy.

You couldn't even wait for half an hour for Master Wu Xiaodan to go to the brothel, but you are urged to hurry even when you hear the discussions here. It's really obvious who is better.

"Humph, what's this Little Alchemist Wu? I want to see how capable he is!"

Li Changqing, filled with anger, followed his servants and quickly entered the hall.

From a distance, I could see a young man in luxurious clothes sitting next to Zhou Gang and eating grapes.

His face was pale, his cheeks were thin, and at this moment he felt a little weak, as if his body had been drained away.

Considering that someone was still enjoying himself in Hongyue Tower half an hour ago, Li Changqing was not surprised by this.

However, the furnace logo on the chest of his clothes surprised Li Changqing.

"He's from the Fire Refining Sect."

Li Changqing recognized his origin at a glance.

The Fire Refining Sect is a major alchemy sect in the cultivation world.

Although it cannot compare with the top-level Qingdan Temple and the second-rate Dan Valley, it is also a major alchemy sect that cannot be ignored in the cultivation world.

He has tens of thousands of disciples, some good and some bad, some can refine low-level elixirs of the ninth and tenth grades, and some can refine high-level elixirs of the fifth and sixth grades.

Before, Chu Yuyan often commissioned the elders of the Lianhuo Sect to refine life-extending pills to increase Li Changqing's lifespan.

But Li Changqing took too much of it and it had no subsequent effect, so he died at the age of around eighty.

Li Changqing was filled with emotion at the moment when he could see the disciples of the Fire Refining Sect in Ma County.

"Old man, are you also an alchemist?"

A sudden noise in the hall broke the peace.

Wu Cheng, the disciple of the Fire Refining Sect who had just been eating grapes, widened his eyes and looked at Li Changqing.

"I know a little bit."

Li Changqing still said the same thing as before.

"Know a thing or two? Haha, old man, I hate it most when you old guys pretend to be humble and act like you are very knowledgeable."

"Let me ask you, what sect are you from? How did you learn alchemy?"

Wu Cheng was very angry from the beginning, and seemed to despise Li Changqing's words, and asked Li Changqing a series of questions.

"I don't have any school or sect. As for where I learned alchemy, I can only say that I'm self-taught."

Li Changqing has already withdrawn from the Zixiao Sect.

As for alchemy, it was taught by my own system, so I learned it by myself!

"Hahaha! That's amazing!" Wu Cheng slapped his thigh, laughing heartily. "I've been refining pills for over thirty years, and I've never heard of anyone learning alchemy on their own without a master. You old man are even more powerful than our sect leader. I'm truly impressed!"

The hall was filled with Wu Cheng's sarcastic aura.

The faces of the people in the Zhou family gradually became ugly.

Even a fool could tell how unreliable what Li Changqing said was.

Can alchemy be self-taught?

Why don’t you tell me about the way of cultivating immortality that you taught yourself?

I thought that even if he was a liar, he would have some eloquence, but he didn't even know this basic common sense.

It seems that he is just as he appears to be, an uneducated farmer.

"Master Wu, just consider this as a smile for you. Let's hurry up and make the elixir. My daughter can't get out of bed anymore."

Zhou Gang changed the subject and spoke to Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng nodded.

"Really? That's too bad. If I hadn't come, your daughter's life would have been in danger."

"Yes, Master Wu Xiaodan, if it weren't for you, I don't know if Li'er would have survived for half a month." Madam Zhou cried, "Please save Li'er!"

At this time, Wu Cheng touched his chin, a malicious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Haha, these are all easy to talk about. As long as you agree to my conditions, they will all be met."

Zhou Gang gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously:

"As agreed, I will give you the 500 spirit stones as reward and 1,000 kilograms of medicinal herbs afterward."

"so much?"

Hearing this, Li Changqing was a little moved.

Five hundred spirit stones can make a cultivator in the foundation-building stage furious, and now all he needs to do is refine a furnace of pills.

Plus a thousand kilograms of medicinal materials.

What a good deal!

But some people feel that these are not enough:

"Oh! Old Zhou, these are secondary. The main thing is that I have feelings for Miss Zhou Li. If you can make up your mind, I will naturally agree."

Wu Cheng suddenly changed the subject and talked about other requests.

"What! You still want my Li'er!"

Zhou Gang gave the rest to Wu Cheng, and that was it.

But when he heard that Wu Cheng was still planning to take advantage of his daughter, his face immediately became filled with anger.

"What? Don't want to? I tell you, without me refining the elixir, she would just be a dead person."

Wu Cheng's face showed a ferocious look and he snorted coldly.

The others didn't dare to speak loudly.

Zhou Gang clenched his fists and trembled all over, but now he felt helpless.

His daughter is now terminally ill, and he can't find any other alchemist except Wu Cheng in front of him.

Once it is rejected, who should we ask to make the elixir?

Old man Li in the hall now?

Forget it, just him?

"Hey! Come to think of it, I'm actually quite interested!"

Seeing this scene, Li Changqing shuddered and cheered up.
