Hang Zilong took another sip of tea and then said calmly: "Fellow Taoist Huo, what do you think of those invitations just now?"
Li Xuan smiled and said: "I am still young and I don't understand many things.
I wonder what Elder Hang thinks?"
"This matter is actually very simple. You are a potential weapon refiner and will be of great use to them.
In order to win you over, they will definitely give you a lot of benefits.
But the more times this happens, the more you have to calm down and make the most powerful choice for your future development."
Hang Zilong said seriously.
He continued: "You may not know the significance of the weapons you build.
I can tell you clearly that no matter which force gets you, it will grow rapidly, which may lead to the redistribution of forces in Youzhou City."
"It's just a ninth-class weapon. Is it such an exaggeration?"
Li Xuan chuckled.
Hang Zilong smiled: "Ninth-class weapons?
Just?
What really determines the strength of a force is not its appearance, but its basic combat strength.
Your weapons can just increase your basic combat power. One or two weapons won’t do much, but what if there are dozens or hundreds of weapons?”
Li Xuan showed a hint of surprise, so that's it.
If this is the case, wouldn’t it mean that I have a rare commodity and can ask for an exorbitant price?
"But I want to remind you, don't be complacent.
You are in such a critical position, but it will be very dangerous!"
Hang Zilong suddenly stopped smiling and said.
Li Xuan was stunned.
"So many forces want you, but you can only choose one.
Have you ever thought about how the forces you reject will react?"
Hangzi Longdao.
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed and he thought for a moment: "Elder Hang means that maybe they want to get rid of me because they can't get me?"
Hang Zilong looked at Li Xuan and said word by word: "There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests.
Today they can surround you, flatter you and praise you, because you may bring them huge benefits.
But if one day your existence affects their interests, they will fall out faster than turning over a book!"
In his past and present life, Li Xuan was a human being. This kind of truth could not be taught by Hang Zilong, but he accepted this kindness in his heart.
Besides, Li Xuan didn't pay much attention to the people he met today.
Although they are all powerful in the Nascent Soul Realm, if Li Xuan is given another half year, he will definitely be able to surpass them all.
Li Xuan said obligingly: "Elder Hang means that I should reject all of them?"
Hang Zilong shook his head and said: "Then you are a tree without roots, how can you grow?"
Li Xuan shrugged and said, "That's not necessarily the case."
From the beginning, Li Xuan had no intention of relying on any force.
However, the terrifying tide of corpses in the bottomless corpse cave must be stopped, forcing Li Xuan to rely on the power of the entire Youzhou City.
Therefore, Li Xuan really needs a force that can take root and move around.
Hang Zilong said: "Actually, I have a way to avoid these troubles for you.
Fellow Daoist Huo, are you willing to join the council?"
"Join the Council?"
Li Xuan was slightly startled.
"That's right... If you are willing, I will grant you a deacon qualification right now.
You will stay in the council's weapon refining workshop as a deacon, and I guarantee that you will be promoted to an elder within three years.
How about it?"
Hang Zilong said enthusiastically.
Li Xuan was happy.
No wonder Hang Zilong looks so amiable, but turns out he has selfish motives.
Hang Zilong continued: "As long as you agree, I will also open to you some of the weapon refining secrets collected by the Council.
These secret books are the most precious collection of the Council. They are even rarer than those in the Wanbao Pavilion and will not be shown to anyone.
But I really cherish your talent and hope you can consider it!"
Li Xuan actually doesn't care too much about secret books or anything like that.
With the experience and skills he brought back from his previous life, let alone the Small Thousand Immortal Realm, he could become a master of weapon refining even if he went to the Great Thousand Immortal Realm.
What Li Xuan values more is the strength of the council.
As an organization formed by Yun Zun himself, the Council has similarities and differences with the Guards.
The Guards are equivalent to Yun Zun's fists, specially used for fighting.
Fight with other Nascent Soul powers externally, and maintain the security of Youzhou City internally.
The Council is equivalent to the brain of Yun Zun, responsible for the operation of Youzhou City, and it covers a wide range of areas. Almost all matters related to cultivation cannot escape the management of the Council.
If you can get a seat on the Council, it would seem to be much more convenient to organize the entire Youzhou City to fight against the Bottomless Corpse Cave in the future?
Seeing Li Xuan's slightly moved expression, Hang Zilong struck while the iron was hot and said: "The status of the council in Yun Zun's heart is very important. If you join the council, I guarantee that no one, including Nangong Hen, will dare to complain! And I can
I guarantee that if anyone dares to bully you in Youzhou City in the future, the Council will make the decision for you!"
...The night breeze was blowing, and Li Xuan walked out of the Council Courtyard, feeling very comfortable.
At this moment, he is no longer a casual cultivator, but a deacon of the council.
This deacon is no ordinary man. He has Hang Zilong’s promise that he will grow old within three years.
Considering Li Xuan's age, even being a deacon is a bit exaggerated, let alone an elder.
Since the establishment of Youzhou City, has there ever been such a young deacon in the council?
More importantly, Hang Zilong completely handed over the management of the council's weapon refining workshop to Li Xuan. From now on, he can use the high-end caves as long as he wants, and he can even use the materials in the workshop at will.
resource.
This benefit alone almost made Li Xuan elated.
Li Xuan hummed a little tune and prepared to go to Situ's house.
Just after turning a corner, two people emerged from the black shadow and said coldly: "Huo Xuan?"
"You are?"
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"We are from the Li family! If you are sensible, don't resist and come with us."
The two said coldly.
Li Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Li family?
Li Shuai’s Li family?
Haha, I didn’t cause any trouble for you, but you came to find me?
"Let's go."
The two men came over and grabbed Li Xuan's arms, one from the left and the other from the right.
Li Xuan did not resist.
He followed the two of them into an alley, twisting and turning to the end of a nearby secluded path, where many people were already waiting.
Seeing Li Xuan arriving, someone shouted: "It's him, it's him. Brother Li Lin, you must make the decision for us!"
Li Xuan saw clearly and shouted that the person was Li Shuai.
In addition to Li Shuai, there is also Sun Shan whose eyes look like peach when she cries.
There are also seven or eight young monks.
The tall young man at the head was pale, his eyes were dark, and he exuded a cold aura. At first glance, he was not an easy person.
"Brother Li Lin, we have brought the people."
The two brought Li Xuan to the tall young man and released their hands.
The tall young man glanced at Li Xuan and said coldly: "Huo Xuan, do you know why I brought you here?"
