The ancestor of talismans

"Brother Xu, why did you come just now?" Jiang Xiaochuan complained directly.

Xu Changshou glanced at him and asked, "Has the initiation ceremony started?"

"No."

"If not, it means I am not late."

"You..."

Jiang Xiaochuan was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Xu Changshou stopped looking at him and looked at Ye Shanhu. He lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Ye, have you discussed it?"

Ye Shanhu nodded, "We have discussed it. One hundred spirit stones per person."

"One hundred spirit stones, do you all agree?"

Xu Changshou looked at Han Zong and Su Mo. He thought they would have objections, but they both nodded.

What's going on?

Su Mo and Han Zong are both willing to take one hundred spirit stones. Xu Changshou knows their conditions better than anyone else. Where can they get one hundred spirit stones?

Ye Shanhu glanced at everyone and said, "Since everyone is here, let's fill out the gift list."

"Let's go!"

A group of people stood up and walked towards the door of the inner courtyard.

At the gate of the inner courtyard, there were two people responsible for filling out the gift list, one for receiving gifts and the other for keeping accounts.

Ye Shanhu walked over, took out 100 spiritual stones, and then said to the person who wrote the gift list: "Ye Shanhu, 100 spiritual stones."

The person who received the gifts took away Ye Shanhu's spiritual stones, and the person who kept the bill wrote on the gift list: Ye Shanhu, 100 spiritual stones.

Then, Jiang Xiaochuan walked over and also took out 100 spiritual stones.

Xu Changshou stood at the end, and he saw clearly that everyone really took out 100 spiritual stones, even Su Mo and Han Zong were no exception.

When the two took out the spiritual stones, although their faces were full of heartache, 100 spiritual stones per person were real.

Xu Changshou knew the living conditions of the menial disciples, even those disciples of small families lived a disappointing life.

When using spiritual stones, most menial disciples were very frugal.

I never expected that when giving gifts to Li Linhao, everyone was so generous.

Seeing that everyone took 100 spirit stones, Xu Changshou also took out 100. For Xu Changshou now, 100 is nothing. Even Ye Shanhu may not be richer than Xu Changshou.

After paying the spirit stones, everyone sat back at the original table, and everyone looked unhappy.

Especially Su Mo and Han Zong, who lowered their heads and said nothing.

"Su Mo, Han Zong, come with me."

Xu Changshou stood up and slowly walked to the edge of the cliff in the outer courtyard, with his hands behind his back and looking into the distance.

Su Mo and Han Zong looked at each other, and both stood up and walked towards Xu Changshou.

"Brother Xu, what do you want to talk to us about?" Su Mo lowered his voice and said to Xu Changshou's back.

Xu Changshou did not look back at him, but smiled and said: "Look at the scenery, look, how beautiful is the scenery of Taiyi Peak?"

Su Mo smiled bitterly: "Senior Brother Xu, how can we be in the mood to look at the scenery now."

"Yes, Junior Brother Xu!"

Han Zong also echoed: "No matter how beautiful the scenery of Taiyi Peak is, what does it have to do with us?"

Xu Changshou turned around, looked at them seriously, and said: "Since it doesn't matter, why do you take so much money? Don't think I don't know your situation. Tell me the truth, where did your spirit stones come from?"

Su Mo lowered his head: "My spirit stones were borrowed from the sect."

Whether it is the Green Immortal Sect or the major sects, there are loan benefits, and miscellaneous disciples can borrow.

Moreover, there is no interest when repaying the money. If you can afford it, you can repay it. If you can't pay it back, your salary will be deducted.

Of course, if you don't really encounter difficulties or encounter something that you have to buy, most people are unwilling to borrow.

You know, cultivating immortals is a state of mind. If you owe a lot of loans, how can you still think about cultivating immortals?

Although Su Mo's previous situation was very tight, he had never borrowed money. Unexpectedly, he actually borrowed money to give a gift to Li Linhao.

"What about you?" Xu Changshou looked at Han Zong.

Han Zong also lowered his head: "I borrowed money too."

Xu Changshou was speechless. Han Zong dug corpses at night and worked in the slaughterhouse during the day.

In order to earn three more spirit stones a month, Han Zong worked day and night. Even in such a situation, Han Zong did not borrow money. He chose to borrow money when giving gifts.

Xu Changshou shook his head helplessly: "Do you have to do this?"

Han Zong's face was full of bitterness: "Senior Brother Jiang said that if there are not enough spirit stones, it will be too expensive. The minimum is 100 spirit stones, so..."

"So you borrow money?" Xu Changshou frowned.

"Yeah!"

Han Zong and Su Mo nodded at the same time, and then fell silent...

"I ask you, is it worth it?"

"..." The two remained silent.

Xu Changshou sighed: "You shouldn't have come."

Su Mo had a bitter face and said helplessly: "Brother Xu, don't blame us, we just want to make a good relationship with Uncle Li."

Han Zong nodded: "Others have taken it. If we don't take it, what if Uncle Li blames us, we can't afford it."

Han Zong's words revealed their true thoughts.

They are the lowest-level cultivators, afraid of causing trouble. What if Li Linhao is a petty person and asks them to settle accounts because they didn't give gifts? The consequences will not be a matter of a hundred spirit stones.

As long as Li Linhao says a word, they can take their lives.

This is the huge gap between Qi Refiners and Foundation Building Great Cultivators.

"Maybe, you are right."

Thinking of this, Xu Changshou said nothing more. The world of cultivating immortals is so cruel and so realistic.

He, Xu Changshou, was also eager to spend money to eliminate disasters, so he gave a hundred spirit stones. He was the same, but his conditions were better than Su Mo and Han Zong. What qualifications did he have to say about them?

"Let's go!"

Xu Changshou said nothing more and took the two back to their original seats.

Xu Changshou did not mean to help them repay the loan. Since they chose to borrow, they should bear the consequences.

Soon.

Li Linhao's initiation ceremony began. The ceremony was held in the main hall. Xu Changshou and others could not even enter the inner courtyard, so they naturally could not see the situation of the initiation ceremony.

An hour later, the various ceremonies of the initiation ceremony finally ended.

Then it was time for dinner.

One after another, exquisite food was delivered to the table, with delicacies from mountains and seas, and fine wines.

Faced with a table of delicious food, everyone had no appetite at all.

So far, no one has seen Li Linhao. It would be sad if they didn't see him even though they had taken 100 spirit stones.

At this moment, everyone wanted to know what Li Linhao's attitude was towards their former companions.

So they were all waiting to meet him.

"Look, Senior Brother Li is coming out."

Someone said, and everyone looked at the door of the inner courtyard.

A young man in a purple Taoist robe came in with a dragon-like step. He was wearing auspicious cloud boots and a golden crown.

The man was full of energy and had a majestic demeanor.

It was Li Linhao.
