"Junior Brother Jiang, what are you doing here?" Welcoming Jiang Xiaochuan into the house, Xu Changshou got straight to the point. Jiang Xiaochuan pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Li Linhao is going to hold an initiation ceremony. Have you heard about this?" Xu Changshou nodded, "Yes, Uncle Li has also sent me an invitation." "That's good!" Jiang Xiaochuan continued, "Brother Xu, are you going to attend Uncle Li's initiation ceremony?" "I'm going to go." Jiang Xiaochuan smiled, "I'm also going to attend Uncle Li's initiation ceremony. This time I came to you to discuss the issue of gifts. Junior Brother Xu, what gift are you going to give? Let me remind you that this is Uncle Li's initiation ceremony. Ordinary gifts are not good enough." Xu Changshou smiled and said, "I talked about this matter with Senior Sister Ye. Senior Sister Ye said that the best gift is spirit stones." "I think so too."
"Junior Brother Jiang, how many spirit stones do you think we should take?" Xu Changshou asked. "If we take spirit stones, we must not take less. I suggest that we take 100 spirit stones." Jiang Xiaochuan said firmly. "So many!" Xu Changshou frowned. He didn't think it was too much. In his opinion, 100 spirit stones were more appropriate. However, Xu Changshou knew that Su Mo, Han Zong and others couldn't afford it. If they were forced to take it, they would definitely get angry. Therefore, Xu Changshou secretly set a price in his mind, 10 spirit stones. It was less, but at least Su Mo and Han Zong could afford it. Jiang Xiaochuan paused and said, "Brother Xu, what are you talking about? Is one hundred spirit stones too much? Think about it, Uncle Li came from our Gengzi Academy. In the future, in the sect, all of us in Gengzi Academy will have to rely on Uncle Li." "Taking one hundred spirit stones to make a good relationship with Uncle Li is not much in my opinion." "This... I still think it's inappropriate. Should I talk to others..." Jiang Xiaochuan interrupted Xu Changshou directly: "I will talk to others one by one. Anyway, for Uncle Li's initiation ceremony, each of us must take one hundred spirit stones. If we take less, it will be embarrassing." Xu Changshou raised his eyebrows: "Is this what Uncle Li meant?" Jiang Xiaochuan clapped his hands: "Brother Xu, we have to understand the ways of the world. Uncle Li has been very busy recently. How can he care about these trivial matters? We can discuss these things together." "Uh..." Xu Changshou was speechless. Are you discussing this? "Well, Junior Brother Jiang, go talk to the others first. I'm easy to talk to. I'll take as much as you take." "Okay! That's it." Jiang Xiaochuan stood up: "Senior Brother Xu, I still have to discuss with others, so I won't stay any longer."
"Junior Brother Jiang, take care." Watching Jiang Xiaochuan leave in a hurry, Xu Changshou shook his head slightly and felt a little funny. It was obviously Li Linhao's initiation ceremony, but why did Jiang Xiaochuan feel more concerned than Li Linhao himself? It was a typical case of the emperor not being anxious but the eunuch was anxious. In Xu Changshou's heart, he didn't want to get too close to Li Linhao. They were no longer people of the same level. As for participating in Li Linhao's initiation ceremony, Xu Changshou's idea was also very Buddhist. If his friends all participated, he would participate. If his friends all took gifts, he would also take gifts. He would take as much as others took. The main thing was to pee in a river and go with the flow. These were not the main things. In Xu Changshou's view, the main thing was to build a foundation. It was better to become a powerful person than to curry favor with the powerful. Soon it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, the day of Li Linhao's initiation ceremony. After Jiang Xiaochuan left Xu Changshou, he never came back. He said he was going to discuss the gift-giving with other people. Xu Changshou didn't know the result of the discussion. Xu Changshou felt that it would not be particularly smooth. Neither Su Mo nor Han Zong would probably take a hundred spirit stones. Even Su Mo and Han Zong might not come. Forget it, don't guess blindly. Just go and see and you will know. After breakfast, Xu Changshou stepped on the flying gourd and slowly rushed to Taiyi Peak. He had Li Linhao's invitation in his hand, so he had no obstacles all the way to Taiyi Peak until he received the flying gourd at the door of Master Li Tong's dojo. That's right. Li Linhao's initiation ceremony was held at Li Tong's dojo. Xu Changshou didn't know much about Li Tong. He only knew that he was Li Linhao's grandfather and a veteran Jindan master of the Green Immortal Sect. Li Tong's dojo was also very impressive. Several magnificent halls are embedded in the mountain. In front of the hall, a large open space is carved out. The open space is divided into two courtyards, the inner courtyard has a courtyard and a carved stone wall, and the outer courtyard is a flat land, and the cliff is a thousand feet away. Standing in the outer courtyard, you can overlook the entire Green Fairy Sect, and you feel like you can see all the mountains. Xu Changshou secretly sighed, it is worthy of being the dojo of the Golden Core Master. Apart from anything else, the scenery of the dojo here is refreshing. There is a thousand-foot cliff outside the outer courtyard, and no safety measures have been taken. Everyone is a cultivator, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. At this time, both the inner and outer courtyards are full of friends. Xu Changshou took a general look and found that all the people sitting in the inner courtyard were foundation-building cultivators. Xu Changshou saw several people he knew, including Huang Tianlang, the head of Taiyi Peak, Zhang Zongchang, the head of Danxia Sect, Bai Tongyuan, the head of Chihuo Peak, Miao Ke, the head of Tianji Peak, Shi Wenlu, the head of Bagua Peak, Qian Yuanming, the head of Fengdu Peak, Li Daitu, the head of Lvmo Peak, Hu Tianyou, and seven or eight young foundation-building masters. The heads of the seven peaks are all here, and this scene is unparalleled.
Of course, Li Linhao certainly doesn't have such a big face, and these people must be here for Li Tong. The outer courtyard is full of menial disciples, and Ye Shanhu and other people from Gengzi Court have come and are sitting around a table in the outer courtyard. Xu Changshou looked at them and found that Ye Shanhu, Jiang Xiaochuan, Li Xian'er, Zhang Feixian, Shi Wantong, Qian Yuanbao, Su Mo, and Han Zong were all here. "Why are Su Mo and Han Zong here too?" Xu Changshou was very surprised. He didn't expect Su Mo and the man Han Zong to come. At this time, Su Mo and Han Zong were both wearing clean and decent Taoist robes, changing their previous sloppy images. Taking another look at everyone's cultivation, they were also different. The one with the highest cultivation was Ye Shanhu, who was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. The cultivation of Jiang Xiaochuan, Li Xianer, Zhang Feixian, Shi Wantong, Qian Yuanbao and other five people was at the eleventh level of Qi Refining. Su Mo and Han Zong had the lowest cultivation, at the tenth level of Qi Refining. "Fellow Taoists, long time no see!" Xu Changshou walked over with a smile and bowed to everyone. A table of people hurriedly stood up to greet them. "Oh, Senior Brother Xu is here." "Hello, Senior Brother Xu." "I hope you are well, Senior Brother Xu." In the small circle of Gengziyuan, Xu Changshou is still quite popular. In terms of cultivation, Xu Changshou has always been ahead of most people. Except for Li Linhao and Ye Shanhu, Xu Changshou's cultivation speed is the fastest.
