In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

There are three passages in the hall of Yuelu Hall. Two of the passages have the word "Qi" and the word "Dan" engraved in ancient characters on the sides. The passage around the last passage is empty, and there are no signs nearby.

The three of them discussed it and decided to take a look in the Danzi passage first.

After walking a dozen steps and turning a corner, a slightly larger room appeared at the end of the passage.

There was a long table in the room, and an old man with a red face stood beside the table. Behind the table are several shabby shelves standing against the wall, filled with various cauldrons, raw materials, and some miscellaneous strange items.

After realizing that the three of them had walked in, the old man looked over with a smile on his face.

"The three little friends have very angry faces. It must be their first time here!"

After using the Sky Eye Technique to check to no avail, Lu Yuan and the others already understood that the old man was also a foundation-building monk. Not daring to be negligent at the moment, he hurried forward to pay homage and introduce himself.

When the old man heard that Han Li and Zhang Tie were okay, he had a smile on his face.

When he heard Lu Yuan's name, his smile faded slightly and he stared at Lu Yuan looking up and down for a while.

"Could it be that you are the disciple who was accepted by Master Tian, ​​that Tianlinggen Lu Yuan?"

"Senior brother, have you also heard of me?"

"Naturally, although the sect concealed your entry into the valley and did not publicize it among the lower-level disciples, the high-level monks are aware of this matter."

"I see!"

"Now that you are here, if you don't understand anything, just ask." Also, my surname is Xu, so you can call me Uncle Xu or Mr. Xu. I don’t want to say that my uncle is a senior and my uncle is a junior. I don’t like to hear this! "The old man said shaking his head to Han Li and the other two, with a rather unseemly look on his face.

"You can just call me brother, it won't hurt you." The old man said to Lu Yuan again, seeming to care about this very much.

"This..." Han Li and Zhang Tie hesitated for a moment, feeling that the other party was really a bit weird.

"I'll just obey!" Lu Yuan didn't care and agreed smoothly.

"That's right. Now let's talk about the purpose of this." The old man surnamed Xu said with satisfaction.

"We heard that Yuelu Hall collects various classics, secret techniques, etc. within the sect. We have longed for it and came here today to take a look." Lu Yuan said vaguely.

"Well, brother, you've come to the right place. I have everything covered here. You can find everything from elixirs to magic weapons to talismans and so on!" The old man didn't want to give up these three pieces of meat, so he fooled Lu Yuan and others.

Then he quickly took out a black token and cast a magic spell. In the open space between him and the shelves, a stone staircase leading to the roof appeared out of thin air.

"It's on the second floor. You can see it if you go up the stairs now!" The old man looked hopeful and his words were full of encouragement.

All-encompassing? It’s actually a pile of worthless junk, right?

Lu Yuan despised the old man in his heart. This guy tried to trick people, even low-level disciples.

Han Li and Zhang Tie, on the other hand, were overjoyed when they heard this. They quickly walked to the stairs and were about to go up, but Mr. Xu suddenly showed a cunning look.

"Viewing the collection of books on the second floor costs one low-level spirit stone per hour. The originals are not allowed to be taken away from here. If you want to copy the contents, you will need to pay an additional copy fee of ten spirit stones per copy."

Before Han Li and the other two stepped onto the stairs, Mr. Xu, who was already behind them, spoke out the relevant regulations in a leisurely manner, leaving Han Li and his two men dumbfounded and almost wanting to curse.

You know, a low-level disciple can only earn twenty or thirty spiritual stones through various jobs in a year! Taking into account the various daily cultivation consumption and expenses, the actual amount of spiritual stones that can be saved is only a few.

Therefore, the other party's charging is definitely very sinister!

"For ordinary disciples, it is naturally a bit more expensive. But you are different, brother. The spiritual stones and other things the sect gives you every month are several times that of ordinary disciples!" The old man saw the changes on the faces of Han Li and Han Li, But he stared at Lu Yuan with a smile on his face.

"Then let's take a look at it for an hour or two first!" Lu Yuan, who was already prepared, took out a few spiritual stones and threw them casually on the table.

"Hey! I'm young, and I'm really bold in taking action. Unlike those old foundation-building guys, each one is more stingy than the other!"

The old man surnamed Xu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes into a crescent shape with joy. He picked up a spiritual stone and rubbed it vigorously on the corner of his clothes a few times. Then he put it in front of his eyes and took a closer look. His iron face was undoubtedly exposed.

Then with a swipe of his hand, all the spiritual stones on the table disappeared. It was completely different from the approachable expression I saw at the beginning.

Lu Yuan looked at this old man who showed no signs of a foundation-building expert under just a few spirit stones, but was rather flattering. I felt a lot more comfortable in my heart. The suffocation I had suffered from the man in red was gone. I raised my feet and followed Han Li to the second floor.

"Brother, stay!" The old man surnamed Xu suddenly stopped Lu Yuan, and then shouted towards the second floor without waiting for Lu Yuan to ask questions.

"Xiang Xiang, come down quickly and take these three little friends up for a nice walk!"

"Nephew Xiang?" Lu Yuan just muttered for a moment when he heard a rush of footsteps coming from the second floor.

Not long after, a gray-haired old man appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Uncle Xu." The old man bowed to the old man named Xu before raising his head, with a smooth look on his face.

"Three junior brothers, please come with me."

Could it be——

Seeing the appearance of Master Xiang, Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed and he thought of something, and quickly tried to use the Sky Eye Technique to check.

Good guy, tenth level of Qi refining!

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

"Dare I ask Senior Brother Xiang's name?" Lu Yuan addressed himself as a peer just in case.

"Ah? I am Xiang Zhili, responsible for the cleaning of the second floor of Yuelu Palace." Xiang Zhili was stunned by Lu Yuan's sudden question, but he quickly answered with a smile on his face.

It’s really him!

Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, after the real confirmation. Lu Yuan was still confused and didn't know how to answer the question for a while.

After all, this is a terrifying existence in the Personalized God stage! One of the ceilings of the Nether Monk!

"What's the matter? I have an old relationship with Junior Nephew Xiang?" The old man surnamed Xu saw something was wrong with Lu Yuan and came up to ask.

"Oh, no, I just remembered that I heard someone mention Senior Brother Xiang's name somewhere, but I can't remember it clearly now, so I asked." Lu Yuan calmed down and made up a reason casually.

"Well, brother, it's not surprising to hear the name of Senior Nephew Xiang. Senior Nephew Xiang also came to Huang Maple Valley two years ago, and started more than two months earlier than you. And he is the only one in the past few hundred years who has held the Immortal Order. The disciples who became disciples caused a great uproar in Yellow Maple Valley during that time!" the old man explained.

"Two years ago? The Immortal Ascension Order!" Lu Yuan's nerves that had just recovered were tense again.

In this case, it was actually him, Old Ghost, who stole Master Jin Guang's Immortal Ascension Order!

"Master Nephew Xiang, this is your Master Tian's disciple, don't neglect him!" the old man surnamed Xu ordered unceremoniously.

"It turns out to be my junior uncle. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me." Xiang Zhili rolled his eyes slightly and said with an apologetic smile.

Lu Yuan looked at Xiang Zhili carefully and couldn't see anything strange at all, so he simply walked up to the second floor.

After Xiang Zhili rolled his eyes slightly, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he quickly followed with an apologetic smile.
