Chapter 107: Q&A
Li Ji's displayed strength was too low. In the eyes of Ancestor Duanmu, he was as weak as a baby. However, Li Ji's courage made him somewhat concerned.
"Boy, what's your name?" Ancestor Duanmu smiled and regained his harmless expression.
The eight people around him and Zian were also stunned when they saw Ancestor Duanmu suddenly asking a question. However, they had long been accustomed to Ancestor Duanmu's jumping thoughts, but after that moment of surprise, they returned to their original state.
Although Li Ji was a little surprised in his heart, there was a bit of panic on his face, which seemed to be a bit of distrust. He grabbed the hair on the back of his head tightly and frowned deeply.
There was also a confused and frightened look on his face, which completely showed his disbelief in Patriarch Duanmu.
"Are you really a member of the Immortality Cult?"
Hearing Li Ji's question, Patriarch Duanmu couldn't help but burst into laughter. He waved his hands and ordered: "You guys, please retreat. To deal with a sixth-level monk and so many people, spread the word.
My ancestor Duanmu doesn’t even know where to put his face.”
"yes."
Zian also laughed. Over the years, this was the first person in Fengcheng who dared to doubt his master's identity. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. After the initial test, he thought that Li Ji might be a member of the Righteous Sect.
The spies came, but now it didn't look like them, which made him a little confused.
All eight people withdrew, leaving only Zian and Ancestor Duanmu still here. Li Ji's eyes rolled around as if he was thinking of something. Zian laughed dumbly and reminded him kindly: "Boy, just do it.
Stop trying to escape, tell me, who are you?"
Hearing Zian's words, Li Ji visibly shrank his neck, with horror in his eyes. This was completely taken in by Patriarch Duanmu. He became less suspicious of Li Ji. Such an immature boy, and such an immature boy.
Walking in blatantly, with such a low level of cultivation, Zhengdao himself would not send such a spy, it was too embarrassing. If Li Ji knew what he was thinking, I wonder if Li Ji would laugh and be proud of his acting skills.
"I...I...my name is Li...Li Yan." As if he was frightened by Zi An's shout, his words were no longer as clear as before, but became hesitant.
"Li Yan?" Zi'an read the name softly, but no matter what he thought, he never imagined that there was such a family in the world of cultivation.
"Your accent sounds like you are not from Liaodong, but more like Shanxi."
"How do you know?" After hearing his words, Li Ji immediately asked in shock.
Zian couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said to Patriarch Duanmu: "Master, this kid probably isn't. However, it's up to you, Master, to decide whether to join the Holy Cult or not."
As everyone knows, when he said these words, Li Ji was obviously relieved, but his face still showed surprise and panic mixed with doubts.
"Have you tried him? What techniques did he use?" Patriarch Duanmu nodded and asked.
"This disciple didn't know, because I didn't pay much attention at the time, but I knew it right away." Zian pondered for a moment and replied.
"Um."
"Li Yan, right?" Zian asked with a smile.
"Yeah, ah." Li Ji replied mechanically.
"Don't be afraid. We are indeed members of the Immortality Religion. This is the Elder Duanmu of the Immortality Religion. I am his disciple. Zian. If you say you want to join the Holy Religion, then we naturally need to know that you have practiced in the past.
What kind of technique?" Zian explained to Li Ji.
Hearing what Zian said, Li Ji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes glanced back and forth at Zian and Patriarch Duanmu from time to time, but anyone could see the lingering joy in his eyes.
"I don't know what I practice. I only know that it was passed down to me by my uncle. When I was very young, he said that practicing this can strengthen the body and prolong life. If he asked me to practice it, I would practice it.
I don't know anything else." Li Ji hurriedly explained to the two of them, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but smile.
"Alas..." Zian smiled and sighed, and said, "Where is your uncle?"
"My uncle? He joined the Adventurers Association in Shangjun, not far from my home. Then one time he went out for a long time and never came back. Only his companion brought back a letter from him. He asked me to take care of him.
To practice, I will go to the Immortality Sect to find him one day in the future." Li Ji thought for a while and said.
The two of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, but they were relieved immediately. There were so many low-level disciples in the Immortality Sect, and his uncle might actually be among them. This also explained well why he came to the Immortality Sect.
Zian figured this out, nodded, and then said: "What is your uncle's name? I can ask it for you." In fact, this was also confirming Li Ji's identity.
Li Ji answered quickly without any hesitation: "My uncle's name is Li San. Because our village is a very poor one and few people study, the names are all given casually."
"Your name is quite good." Zian said casually.
"Well, that's because my uncle went to the city to work as a coachman for many years. He learned a lot from their young master. After he learned how to read, he gave me this name. Otherwise, I would have done the same.
My name is Li San. Moreover, my uncle taught me how to read, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to practice this skill." Li Ji explained honestly, but what he said was correct, he just replaced old Uncle Han with his own uncle.
"Is that so? It would be difficult to find him. How many years have you not seen him?" Zian frowned and asked.
"Hmm..." Li Ji looked at the sky and began to think.
After a while, Li Ji turned around, looked at Zian and the others, and said, "It seems to have been more than thirty years. Well, that's about it. It's been that long."
Although Li Ji talked for a long time, Patriarch Duanmu and Zian both laughed when they heard it. Thirty years may be a very long time for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is more and more difficult.
He is a powerful cultivator. The past thirty years have been shorter. But for a person like Li Ji, he knows nothing, which is normal.
"Then have you ever thought about what to do if you don't find your uncle?" Zian suddenly asked this question.
At this time, Li Ji was stunned. His eyes were full of confusion, as if he had never considered this issue.
Ancestor Duanmu smiled and said, "Zian, don't make things difficult for the children."
"Yes." Zian replied with a smile on his face.
"Come here, child." Duanmu Patriarch said to Li Ji with a smile.
Li Ji scratched his head and walked over.
But looking at his appearance, he didn't extend his hand at all, which made Patriarch Duanmu smile even more. Li Ji really didn't know anything about this.
He shook his head gently and said to Li Ji: "My child, any hand is fine, just stretch out your hand."
"Oh." When Li Ji heard this, he quickly agreed and stretched out his right hand.
Zian looked on and shook his head. Although Li Ji was somewhat alert, he had never seen the world before.
Patriarch Duanmu took Li Ji's hand and inspected it.
"Hmm???" Ancestor Duanmu suddenly hummed in surprise, which made Zian couldn't help but look, wondering why Ancestor Duanmu was so surprised.
"Have you ever practiced swordsmanship?" Ancestor Duanmu was somewhat solemn, which made Zian even more puzzled.
"Huh? I've practiced, what's wrong? I, I can't, can't I practice? I won't practice, I won't practice, okay?" Li Ji saw the look on the face of Patriarch Duanmu and was so frightened that he couldn't even hold his hands.
The ground was shaking, but my heart was frightened. I was afraid that the guy in front of me had seen something and was ready to take action at any time.
"Don't be nervous, kid, right? Li Yan, from now on you will be my ancestor Duanmu's disciple."
"Ah?" Li Ji's face was full of surprise, and he looked at Patriarch Duanmu in disbelief.
Even Zian was surprised. Regardless of his identity, he walked over and picked up Li Ji's other hand.
Ancestor Duanmu did not stop Zian, but smiled quietly, and there seemed to be a bit of pride in the corner of his mouth.
After Zian finished his investigation, the look of surprise on his face was even more serious than that of Li Ji. He looked Li Ji up and down several times before saying, "What a waste. Such a high talent has been practiced in vain for thirty years."
These words are full of emotion.
"Ah?" Li Ji still looked innocent and full of doubts, which made Patriarch Duanmu and Zian shake their heads.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and become a disciple!" Seeing the confusion on Li Ji's face, Zian couldn't help but urge him.
"Oh!" Li Ji pretended to have just reacted. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Patriarch Duanmu. He also shouted loudly: "Master, please bow to me as a disciple!" But Li Ji
Ji knew in his heart that his talent must be good, otherwise how could he enter the Sword Sect? Isn't this nonsense? But he would definitely not say it out loud. Isn't this asking for death? After kowtow, Li Ji adjusted his expression, feeling a little happy
, and still a little confused.
"Let me show you what kind of swordsmanship you practice." Duanmu Ancestor nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Yes!" Li Ji responded, but there was a murmur in his heart. Besides Chiyan, could he do anything else? Li Ji immediately thought of the Ersan Sword Technique. He just thought about it and tried it a few times, hoping that he could try it.
It works.
He took out the broken sword from the storage bag. As soon as he took it out, when they saw the scabbard, the two of them clearly showed disgust on their faces. Li Ji later made a new scabbard for the sword.
, but it’s still made of wood.
After Li Ji danced for a few times, Patriarch Duanmu quickly asked Li Ji to stop. He couldn't stand it any longer. Then he said, "Zian, take him to get familiar with the sect, and then teach him the 'Gucheng Sword Technique'.
Bring him to me in ten days."
Having said that, Patriarch Duanmu disappeared there, and Li Ji was shocked. This person's strength may not be much weaker than his uncle's, but he had no idea that there was such a number one figure in the Immortality Sect. This was so unexpected.
People were surprised.
