"Haha, my fourth brother is more proud." The third elder laughed.
"Boy Shen, just call him Fourth Grandpa. From now on, with this backer, you can walk around Fengcheng." The third elder said to Shen Li.
Shen Li took the conversation and respectfully shouted "Fourth Grandpa" without hesitation.
"Boy Shen, have you ever eaten golden dragon crucian carp?" The fourth elder suddenly looked at Shen Li carefully.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with me giving him food?" said the third elder.
Shen Li was confused.
"Nothing wrong, third brother, I didn't mean that. Our family must eat dozens of golden dragon crucian carp a year, and no one has seen any effect. This kid only ate it once, and a miracle happened!" "The fourth elder touched Shen Li's head, then touched Shen Li's shoulders and arms, and looked left and right.
"Could it be that that legend is still true?" said the third elder.
"I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. This kid has awakened his acquired spiritual roots." The fourth elder said.
…
"A miracle, what a miracle. I have been eating golden dragon and crucian carp since I was a child. I have been eating it for more than 80 years, but I have never done anything famous. I am still an ordinary person. You are really lucky!" The third elder said to Shen excitedly. He said immediately.
"Young Master Shen, I would like to thank Third Grandpa and Fourth Grandpa." Shen Li saluted.
Shen Li pretended to be calm, but in fact his heart was already turbulent.
"You're welcome. This is your luck and your blessing. Congratulations!" The fourth elder patted Shen Li on the shoulder with his heavy palm.
"Congratulations, Mr. Shen, you will be an immortal cultivator in the future. I really envy your third grandfather and me." The third elder said.
Shen Li thought to himself: "I'm so lucky. I never won a lottery ticket in my last life. This time I won a big prize."
"The two grandfathers have shown me a great kindness. If Shen Li achieves anything in his cultivation, he will definitely repay the favor to these two grandfathers." Shen Li said.
"Although you have awakened the acquired spiritual roots, you are still slightly inferior to those with innate spiritual roots. After all, you are already so old. People with innate spiritual roots have been practicing since they were young. I hope you can surpass those who come late." The fourth elder said.
"Fourth Grandpa, I will practice diligently." Shen Li said firmly.
"Well done, young man, which sect are you going to join?" said the fourth elder.
"Grandpas, how is Qingyun Sect?" Shen Li asked respectfully.
"Very good, very good. Now even the three-year-old child on the street knows that Qingyun Sect is the strongest sect in the Eastern Region." said the third elder.
"Third brother, I'm not telling you, you only have that little knowledge, how good is the Qingyun Sect? You just know how to bully the few because of the large number of people. If you pick them out one on one, I will beat them up. Xiao Shen, you You can consider the Tiangang Sect, the second sect in the Eastern Region, which follows the body refining stream. It has a small number of people but is united, unlike those from the Qingyun Sect who scheming and scheming all day long." The fourth elder rolled his eyes at the third elder and said.
"You have suffered a lot from Qingyun Sect, so you will definitely not say that Qingyun Sect is good." The third elder choked back.
"Grandpas, I am seventeen this year and I am actually eighteen years old. Although I want to worship you, will they still want me?" Shen Li asked you weakly.
"There are some difficulties with the Tiangang Sect," the fourth elder said.
"It's okay. Qingyun Sect doesn't have so many rules. When the time comes, we can just go through the back door and clear the relationship." The third elder said.
"Third brother, is it really okay for you to do this?" the fourth elder said.
"Isn't this a common thing? It's getting late. Let's go to Fengming Tower for dinner." The third elder said with a smile.
The three of them arrived at Fengming Tower in Xiao Ziqi's luxurious carriage. After getting off the bus, the shopkeeper of Fengming Tower personally greeted them and guided them to the luxurious private room on the second floor. The third elder and the fourth elder took their seats first. Shen Lihe The third elder said this and followed the servants of the Xiao family to wait for Father Shen and Liu Lin in the hall of Fengming Tower.
Shen Li waited not long before Shen Wande and Liu Lin arrived.
Shen Li thought to himself: "Fortunately, my father and Liu Lin arrived first and didn't run into the hunchbacked old man. If the enemies met, they would be in trouble."
Shen Li just stepped forward to greet his father and Liu Lin. A strong man in rich attire wearing a gold crown got out of a carriage behind him. Shen Li looked towards the carriage and saw that the person who got out of the carriage after the strong man in rich attire was none other than a familiar face. , it was Sima Xiang, the alchemist who once slept in the Shen family's woodshed.
"Uncle, suppress your emotions, anger will hurt your body." said the strong man in rich clothes.
"Humph!" Sima Xiang seemed a little angry and shook his wide sleeves.
While the Xiao family servants and the hotel manager went out to greet Sima Lang and Sima Xiang, Shen Li led Shen Wande and Liu Lin hurriedly upstairs, for fear of starting a fight.
As soon as the Shen family father and son and Liu Lin entered the private room and were bowing politely to the third and fourth elders, the uncle and nephew of the Sima family came in under the guidance of the servants.
When Sima Xiang saw Liu Lin, he couldn't hold back his anger. He didn't care who was present and cursed: "Liu Lin, you despicable kid, you actually have the guts to come to my door!"
"Sima Xiang, I will return the ring to you. The contents inside are intact." Liu Lin threw a ring to Sima Xiang. After Sima Xiang caught the ring, he glared at Liu Lin.
"Okay, everyone, sit down first." The fourth elder said in a rich voice.
After everyone took their seats, the third elder said: "It is said that it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. I, Xiao Laosan, represent the Xiao family and mediate misunderstandings between the two parties."
"This is called a misunderstanding? Xiao Laosan, this dog officer of the Chuyun Empire named Liu Lin almost killed me! How do you plan to mediate it?" Sima Xiang was very excited after hearing the word "misunderstanding".
"My third brother said it was a misunderstanding, then it is a misunderstanding!"
The words spoken by the fourth elder to uncle and nephew Sima carried the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It's just a misunderstanding! Huh? Uncle?" Sima Lang hurriedly smoothed things over despite the pressure of the Nascent Soul stage.
"Xiao Laosi, you have a strong fist. If you say it's a misunderstanding, it's fine!" Sima Xiang's sweat beads were as big as peas.
"Brother Sima, since it was a misunderstanding, don't be so excited. The Shen family in Wancheng and the officials of Chuyun Empire are also very guilty for misjudged you as a robber. They made a mistake and they have to compensate you. How much compensation do you think is appropriate for the loss?" said the third elder.
"Compensation? To put it lightly, I am a great alchemist, how can I be short of money? I almost lost my life, can they afford to compensate the alchemist's life?" Sima Xiang said.
"Sima Xiang, look how old you are. My third brother respects you. Don't push me any further! Otherwise I will beat your head into your stomach!" The fourth elder glared at Sima Xiang.
When Sima Xiang saw the fourth elder glaring at him, he did not dare to continue talking.
"I represent the Shen family, and Liu Lin represents the government. The two of us made a special trip to apologize to Senior Sima. I hope that Senior Sima will not remember the villain's fault." Shen Wande looked serious, stood up and bowed to Sima Xiang.
Although Liu Lin looked disdainful, he followed Shen Wande and bowed to Sima Xiang.
"What the Shen family said seems like a human saying. After all, it was my fault that I entered the Shen family by mistake. It is reasonable for the Shen family to send me to the government. But Liu Lin, as an official official, you have to accept me. What’s the explanation for wanting money and killing one’s life even though he’s trying to quit?”
"I, Liu Lin, am going to die. What do you think should be done?" Liu Lin felt that since he was in the wrong, he might as well just let it go.
