Chapter 511: Housewarming Party (Part 1)

The invitations were sent out.

About a month later, the banquet officially began.

All the relatives and friends of the families arrived naturally. Many Taoist priests came to Luofu Mountain, and they all looked at Li Qi with complicated eyes.

However, the Taoist priests who had worked with Li Qi and dealt with the affairs of the Holy Flame Realm were constantly explaining to them that this was not a political marriage, but a real mutual understanding.

Whether you believe it or not is another matter, but these Taoist priests obviously did not intend to make trouble. They sat quietly and even formed a team to toast Li Qi.

Li Qi was naturally very serious and accepted everyone who came, so it was considered peaceful.

However, some people who had worked with Li Qi were very emotional and said, "There is also this day." Say goodbye to Shen Shuibi.

For them, this means that Shen Shuibi has officially left Luofu Mountain. From now on, Luofu Mountain is her mother's home and the sect, but it is not her "home".

Shen Shuibi's "home" has moved to this cave at this moment.

However, Shen Shuibi did not feel any regrets. She was not dead, and she could go back anytime she wanted. It was no big deal.

After that, Yang Ning also came.

When she came, she dragged Li Qi to the deserted place behind. Others wanted to follow, but were stopped by Shen Shuibi.

Hmm... Li Qi should not be beaten, right? ?

At the back, Li Qi looked at Yang Ning and did not speak up.

If he spoke up at this moment, there would be problems.

Ri Jing was angry.

However, unexpectedly, Yang Ning did not do anything radical, but said to Li Qi in a very ordinary way: "The place is well chosen. The speed of practicing here should not be satisfied, and the foundation is deep, so there is no fear of being mined out."

"It still needs to be restrained. It is necessary to have a degree to grab the various qi, otherwise it may break the balance cycle and affect the stability of the source." Li Qi answered casually, thinking about what Yang Ning wanted to say.

"I know, it's against the harmony of nature. Luofu Mountain also knows this, otherwise our mountain gate would have been mined out long ago. We also understand the way of nature. The Taoist ancestor once said that 'Tao follows nature'. Of course, we understand the importance of maintaining the source." Yang Ning found a place to sit down.

Li Qi could tell from these two conversations.

She seemed to want to say something, but didn't know what to say. However, she was not a hesitant person, so she pulled herself over. After pulling herself over, she found that she really couldn't speak, so she started to chat.

A few more idle words.

Li Qi agreed, but saw that the other party didn't seem to want to leave.

So, Li Qi thought about it, took the initiative to step forward, and said, "Don't worry."

Yang Ning was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she reached out and grabbed Li Qi's collar, holding it tightly, and said in a low voice: "How can you let me rest assured? I heard her say that it will be no more than a thousand years before the war starts."

"So what if the war starts?" Li Qi asked.

Yang Ning didn't answer. Of course she knew this.

So what if the war starts? Can she stop it?

There will be multiple witch gods participating in this war, and even the emperor may personally take action. The Sun and Moon Road is of great importance, and it can be considered a top grade among the first grade.

With the opportunity of the Sun and Moon Road, the movement of the heavens will be in your hands, and you can even use it to influence the star officials and establish connections with the four phases.

In this context, what else can they do? What else can they do?

So Yang Ning couldn't say anything, because she couldn't run away.

However, Li Qi grabbed her hand and pried open her fingers that were holding her collar one by one.

Yang Ning was shocked to find that Li Qi's cultivation was qualified enough to interfere with her body, and even pried open her fingers.

At this time, Li Qi repeated again: "Don't worry."

After that, there was silence between the two.

Yang Ning's hair changed from black to golden red, and then gradually burned, and then slowly calmed down.

Finally, she shook her hand and walked out, leaving only one sentence: "Then I'll rest assured first, if something happens..."

At this point, she choked.

If something happens, then what?

Will she still have the heart to settle accounts with Li Qi at that time?

Thinking of this, she simply stopped talking and walked out.

Li Qi shook his head.

He said "don't worry" twice.

But, is he relieved?

It's hard to say, it's hard to say.

However, do your best.

After seeing Yang Ning off, Li Qi was about to leave, but saw another person coming in.

A woman who looked about 40 or 50 years old, not young, but still very charming.

Of course Li Qi knew who this was.

Granny Mei, the only remaining fourth-rank in Luofu Mountain.

"Granny Mei." Li Qi immediately stepped forward and saluted.

When facing elders, etiquette must not be lost.

"Li Qi, the last time I saw you, you were only the eighth rank." Granny Mei looked at Li Qi and said so.

"Yes, I was still young at that time." Li Qi responded with a smile.

"You are still very young now. It's only been a few years since then. For me, it's just a blink of an eye, but you are already at the sixth level." Granny Mei looked at Li Qi, her eyes full of...unspeakable emotions.

I don't know if it was admiration, fear, or... worry?

"You progressed too fast, and your foundation is not stable. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Granny Mei." Li Qi immediately lowered his head.

"Some people can't even have an unstable foundation. You haven't practiced for ten years, but you are already at the sixth level. If you tell others about it, it will scare a lot of people to death." Granny Mei sighed.

"Many sons of destiny can do it." Li Qi answered immediately.

"Yes, sons of destiny can do it, but the path of sons of destiny is naturally imprisoned, and he cannot surpass the grade of the world itself." Granny Mei said.

"It's not impossible, it's just very difficult. You need to make up for what you haven't paid a thousand times, just like me." Li Qi smiled.

Yes, the current Li Qi was forcibly promoted to the sixth grade by the head of the third grade, just like the son of destiny was forcibly promoted by the heavenly way of the world, and he will have to pay it back in the future.

A son of destiny of the fifth grade, if he wants to break through the fifth grade, needs to pay thousands of times the effort of a normal person from zero to the fifth grade.

Li Qi is the same.

Granny Mei waved her hand: "It's different. You have to pay your debt when you are in the third grade, and the son of destiny has to pay it back on the spot. This efficiency is much worse."

At that time, Li Qi will be a third grade to pay the debt of the sixth grade. Although it is a thousand times, there is still a chance.

But the Sons of Destiny are the fifth rank to repay the fifth rank debt, not to mention ten thousand times, even once may not be able to pay, so it is said that the Sons of Destiny cannot surpass the world itself.

However, Li Qi couldn't understand why Granny Mei said this to him. He didn't understand the meaning of these conversations. Did Granny Mei want to... hit him?

Li Qi didn't understand, but it was not easy to guess blindly, so he simply asked: "Granny Mei, what do you mean by saying this to me?"

"Deep meaning? Why should there be deep meaning in speaking?" Granny Mei was puzzled.

However, after all, she was also a fourth-rank strongman, and she immediately realized Li Qi's concerns.

So, the old man reached out and touched Li Qi's head.

Li Qi was a little uncomfortable, after all, no one had touched his head before, and when Zhu Fengdan touched his head, it was probably that she was ready to beat him.

However, the other party was a kind elder after all, so Li Qi did not respond in any special way.

Granny Mei said, "You were promoted too quickly. Others may only envy you. However, you cannot achieve this speed by practicing hard. You must have seen a lot of things you shouldn't have seen, right? And the reason they contacted you is that they want something from you."

Li Qi was silent.

"Don't worry. What do you think I want from you? Not everyone talks to you with deep meaning. Take a good rest. The next period of time may be the most peaceful period of your life." Granny Mei said, looking at Li Qi with a look of heartache and pity, then stood up and left.

Li Qi realized it then.

As the other party said, she was really just like an ordinary elder, coming here to have a simple chat, maybe talking about family matters, asking about Shen Shuibi's situation, etc.

However, after Li Qi finished speaking, she gave up this plan and left instead.

Li Qi stood there and sighed after a long while.

Yes, in this world...some people do this. Sometimes, not every word has deep meaning.

I have to say, this feeling is pretty good.

Thinking of this, Li Qi's mood was slightly lifted. He continued to go out and greet the guests with Shen Shuibi.

Not long after, all the spiritual creatures on the mountain, as well as the villagers from the villages at the foot of the mountain and the goblins from various demon nests came.

They looked at the big figures next to them with fear.

There were those from Wushen Mountain and Luofu Mountain, and the fifth and sixth grades were everywhere. Even the mountain god Niuhuang, who had the highest cultivation among them, was frightened and had to walk with his head down.

Fortunately, no one thought these little monsters were noisy. In fact, no one noticed them at all. Many little mice, weasels and other cubs were still running around, rolling on the floating delicacies, eating them crazily, and then being pulled down by the elders of the tribe.

It can be seen that the old mice and weasels wanted to beat these cubs, but because they were still in the banquet at the moment, they were afraid that their crying would disturb the nature of the big figures, so they just glared at them fiercely and did not do anything.

Without being beaten, the little cubs naturally wouldn't be afraid. Although they restrained themselves a little, they still played games with each other and ran around everywhere. Some of the brave ones even greeted the skylarks of Luofu Mountain.

Although most of the welcoming skylarks of Luofu Mountain have entered the rank and have higher cultivation than those weasel elders, they are of low generation, young, and childish. They really got along well with these little cubs, regardless of their status and cultivation. A bunch of little skylarks and little mice mixed together, flying and running around in the hall, and laughter was everywhere.

The people of Luofu Mountain smiled knowingly, but the mouse elders were so scared that they couldn't stand steadily. It was the mountain god Niuhuang who persuaded them, and they didn't rush to deal with the children, but let them play.

As for the adults, they seemed to be infected by the laughter everywhere, and the banquet was much more joyful.

Li Qi welcomed the guests and toasted everywhere to welcome the newcomers.

After a while, Boyue and others also came.

Boyue, Yanke, and Zhong Minglou, these three people also came here, but... they are still at the eighth level and have not been promoted.

Not everyone can rise two levels in a few years, they still need to accumulate, and then steadily rise to the seventh level.

"Damn it, the sixth level! You are such a monster." Boyue punched Li Qi on the shoulder: "How did you rise? You didn't ask your master to give you a crown, did you?"

The speaker didn't mean it, but he hit the nail on the head. Li Qi smiled bitterly: "Oh, don't mention it. Do you think I want to? But I see that your foundation is already solid. Why don't you start to get promoted?"

Yan Ke lifted his hair, exuding his handsomeness, and said with a smile: "When he was going to settle down for a hundred years before talking about the seventh rank, he just broke the lottery mechanism in Chang'an a few days ago, which was considered a sum of money. This kid was very happy, but the next day they changed another set, and it has not been broken yet. He plans to fix it first."

Bo Yue is also a top genius. His study in Chang'an has also made him gain a lot. Now it seems that he has a chance to get the seventh rank.

However, he is different from Li Qi. Li Qi is always chased and rushed to get promoted, but Boyue has enough time to slowly settle his accumulation and wait until there is no risk before getting promoted.

However, this is actually a manifestation of the gap.

Although Boyue can get the seventh rank if he is promoted now, it will reduce his potential. He doesn't do such a thing, so he would rather go slowly.

But when Li Qi was promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank, although he was forced to do so, he had actually accumulated enough, which was why others were amazed.

However, when he was promoted to the sixth rank, he was forced to do it. There was no way, otherwise he would be beaten to death by the Demon Prince.

The three of them were chatting happily, and Yan Ke also brought a female companion. Li Qi didn't know her, but it was said that she was a little flower god, but Zhong Minglou next to him was silent all the time.

Everyone was used to it. Zhong Minglou himself was a dull person, so naturally he didn't think it was strange.

And there was a caregiver standing next to him, the ordinary person that Li Qi hired for him. Now she was also scared enough, just pushing Zhong Minglou's wheelchair and looking around nervously.

There were things around here that she had never seen before, demons, gods and monsters. She was told about them when she came, but no one told her that in the territory of Wushen Mountain, even mice could speak!

It was okay for mice to speak, and it was normal for monsters to speak, but just now the divine cow moved a stone over, and the stone could also speak!

It was really a ghost.

The young master team chatted for a while and were about to leave. Some were eating, some were welcoming guests, but at this moment, Zhong Minglou suddenly coughed.

The other three immediately quieted down and pricked up their ears.

The charlatan spoke, so we had to listen carefully.

After Zhong Minglou coughed, he was silent for a while.

The other people also waited seriously.

However, after waiting for about two or three minutes, Yanke couldn't hold it in any longer: "Minglou, what do you want to say?"

"Ah? I don't have anything to say." Zhong Minglou was puzzled.

"Then why are you coughing?"

"My throat is itchy."
