As soon as Li Ling'er left, a group of people came to Xu Changshou's yard. "Uncle Xu, you are fine." "Greetings to Master Xu, congratulations to Master Xu for his enlightenment." "Congratulations, congratulations to Master Xu for achieving the Great Path of Foundation Establishment." "Meet Uncle Xu..." A group of people saluted Xu Changshou with smiles on their faces. Xu Changshou couldn't help but smile when he saw that he was not an outsider, but a friend from Gengziyuan. A total of seven people including Jiang Xiaochuan, Zhang Feixian, Lin Xian'er, Shi Wantong, Qian Yuanbao, Su Mo and Han Zong came. Xu Changshou smiled and said, "Why are you here?" Jiang Xiaochuan smiled and said: "Master Xu, you are doing such a big thing as building a foundation, how could we not come?"
Han Zong smiled and said: "We were still waiting to attend your initiation ceremony, but after waiting for a few days, we didn't get any news. We just found it ourselves." Xu Changshou shook his head slightly: "I don't know anyone, so I won't do the Taoist ceremony." Jiang Xiaochuan took a step forward, took out a storage bag, and said flatteringly: "Uncle Xu, we have to come regardless of whether you want to attend the Taoist ceremony or not. This is our little thought, so we must accept it." Xu Changshou frowned, took a look at the storage bag, and saw that it was full of spiritual stones, totaling seven hundred yuan. Glancing at Su Mo and Han Zong, Xu Changshou couldn't help but be speechless. Some time ago, when Li Linhao held an entrance ceremony, Su Mo and Han Zong had no money at all, so they borrowed money to give the gift. It's only been so long, and they must have not repaid the money. How can they have the money to give gifts now? It must be another loan. If you don't have money, you won't give it away. Is it necessary to borrow money? Xu Changshou was unhappy, so he stuffed the storage bag into Jiang Xiaochuan's hand and said, "Xiaochuan, I'm not short of money, and it's not easy for everyone. I'll accept your kindness. If you don't want this spiritual stone, take it back." Jiang Xiaochuan shook his head hurriedly: "Uncle Xu, no matter what, you must accept it." "Yes, please accept it." "Take it, Master Xu, this is what we should give." "Uncle Xu, please don't be polite." Others quickly followed suit. "No, I won't accept it!" Xu Changshou waved his sleeves and refused. Jiang Xiaochuan said solemnly: "Uncle Xu, you'd better accept it. If you don't accept it, we will have trouble sleeping and eating." "We can't sleep or eat well..." The others spoke in unison. "this……"
Xu Changshou didn't know what to say. He knew exactly what these friends were thinking. In the beginning, when Li Linhao was building the foundation, they all gave gifts. They were all friends of Gengziyuan, and they were building the foundation themselves. If they didn't give gifts, they would definitely not be able to justify it. If you are narrow-minded and settle accounts with them, they will not be able to bear the consequences. "You guys, why are you doing this? Okay, I'll take the money. If you have anything in the future, just come to me and I'll try to help you if I can." Xu Changshou reached out and took back the storage bag. At the same time, he had his own plan in mind. Although he took the money, he would pay it back to them sooner or later. When these people disarm and return to secular life and hold official ceremonies, just return the gift to them. Thinking like this, Xu Changshou felt no burden in his heart. I'm afraid that Li Linhao had the same idea as him at the beginning, otherwise, he wouldn't have come over overnight to return the gift to him. "Come on, come on, everyone, please, let's go into the house and talk." Xu Changshou enthusiastically invited his friends into the room and greeted them. Seeing that Xu Changshou had no airs, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Xu Changshou and these people got together again. There were few topics to talk about, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward as they talked. After chatting for a quarter of an hour, everyone could no longer continue the awkward conversation and said goodbye. Xu Changshou politely sent them outside the courtyard gate. Seeing his friends leaving, Xu Changshou's nose felt sour. These people were originally his best friends in the world. At this time, there was suddenly a very thick barrier. Perhaps, this is the price of growth, the price of becoming strong. After everyone left, Xu Changshou continued to refine the elixir. By evening, even with all the twists and turns, a spirit-gathering pill was completely refined. Refining an elixir actually takes less than a day and a night, probably a little more than ten hours. As long as you don't waste too much time and deal with some chores, you can still refine an elixir a day. As soon as Xu Changshou stood up, Li Linhao came with a solemn look on his face. As soon as he came up, he asked: "Junior Brother Xu, have you offended anyone?" Xu Changshou was confused: "No! How can I say this?" Li Linhao said seriously: "It's so abnormal. Today I went to see grandpa and mentioned your matter to him. Unexpectedly, he refused without even thinking about it."
"What, you said Master Li refused me to be an immortal?" Xu Changshou was numb. He rejected Leng Mei on his side, and Li Tong rejected him on his side. Damn it! What is this? The east wall was demolished and the west wall was not repaired. Xu Changshou felt so depressed. Li Linhao nodded: "Yes, I refused, and I refused quite simply." Xu Changshou spread his hands and said helplessly: "This means that Master Li doesn't like me!" "No!" Li Linhao shook his head: "I know my grandfather. He usually meets the requests I make. This is just a small matter. He has no reason to refuse. There must be a reason for it. I suspect that someone is obstructing it." Xu Changshou smiled bitterly, "You think too much. Who would feel bad for a small cultivator like me?" "That's true." Li Linhao smiled apologetically, "Junior Brother Xu, I'm sorry, I thought..." "It's okay!" Xu Changshou interrupted him and said, "I'm very grateful that you can help me. I think it's okay to have no backers. It's good." Li Linhao said disapprovingly, "You don't understand. If you don't have a backer, you will have a hard time in the Green Fairy Sect in the future." "Ah!" Xu Changshou's face froze. He didn't expect that the consequences of not having a backer would be so serious. Li Linhao continued, "Don't worry. I know a lot of great Jindan masters. I will help you run more these days and make sure you find a backer." "Thank you, Senior Brother Li." Ten days passed in a flash. Xu Changshou's elixir was used up. Without the use of the Gathering Spirit Pill, the speed of cultivation was super slow. Xu Changshou was not used to it. So, he gritted his teeth and bought ten more Gathering Spirit Pills. After buying the Gathering Spirit Pill, Xu Changshou only had less than 800 Spirit Stones left. If he hadn't accepted gifts from others, his Spirit Stones would have been gone. In the evening, Li Linhao came again. His face was extremely ugly: "Junior Brother Xu, you must have offended someone." Xu Changshou's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"
Li Linhao said unhappily: "I have asked all of them these days, and none of the fifteen Golden Core Masters are willing to take you in." "What??" Xu Changshou was dumbfounded. He was completely without a backer.
