Chapter 11 One thousand taels at a time(1/2)
Fifth Elder Li Ting is currently in a situation. Although Li Rou wants to help him, she is unable to do so.
Over the years, almost all the money she had in hand was used to buy medicinal materials for her son to strengthen his body.
Coupled with the recent purchase of medicinal materials for Qibao Body Tempering Liquid for her son, she only had a little over a hundred taels of silver left in her savings.
"Why, the Fifth Elder, don't you dare to bet with me and the Seventh Elder?"
Sixth Elder Li Ping smiled, looking like a villain who has succeeded.
Just when Li Ting was planning to borrow money from other elders.
"Seventh Elder, I'll bet you your five hundred taels!"
A voice came from afar.
Accompanying this voice came a pair of golden boys and girls, holding hands and coming side by side.
The one who spoke just now was the young man among them.
The young man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, extremely handsome and graceful.
It’s ‘Duan Lingtian’!
"Ninth Elder, you have spent a lot of money on your son over the years. Do you still have five hundred taels of silver in your hands?"
The seventh elder, Li Kun, smiled teasingly and took a deep look at Li Rou.
Li Rou frowned slightly and sighed in her heart.
This kid, Tian'er, doesn't really think she still has five hundred taels of silver in her hand, right?
"I have met the head of the family, the great elder and all the elders."
Duan Lingtian took Ke'er's hand and walked up to the high platform, slightly saluting the senior members of the Li family.
The head of the family, Li Nanfeng, glanced at Duan Lingtian in surprise. The last time he saw Duan Lingtian was more than a month ago.
At that time, the ninth elder Li Rou went crazy and punished the seventh elder Li Kun's son 'Li Xin'.
At that time, Duan Lingtian was just a sick man.
But compared to the Duan Lingtian of the past, the current Duan Lingtian is completely different!
"The third level of the Body Tempering Realm...Duan Lingtian, you have broken through to the third level of the Body Tempering Realm!"
When Li Nanfeng subconsciously probed Duan Lingtian's cultivation level, his pupils shrank with a look of disbelief on his face.
Li Nanfeng's exclamation caused thousands of waves to rise.
In an instant, everyone's eyes on the high platform fell on Duan Lingtian.
Soon, except for Li Rou and Li Ting, everyone else looked incredulous.
"If I remember correctly, when he was seriously injured by Li Xin a month ago, he seemed to be not a warrior yet!"
"It only took Duan Lingtian a month to go from being an ordinary person to completing the Body Tempering Realm, and then to the third level of the Body Tempering Realm... Aren't I just dazzled?"
"You're not dazzled, he is indeed at the third level of the Body Tempering Realm. It seems that he must have had some adventures!"
…
Most of the elders, including the seventh elder Li Kun, were stunned.
The scene before them made them unable to react for a long time.
The Great Elder Li Huo looked at Duan Lingtian with great interest and rarely continued to close his eyes to rest.
Li Kun took a breath of air.
Duan Lingtian's breakthrough to the third level of Body Tempering Realm was completely beyond his expectation.
However, he felt relieved again when he thought about the big hurdle between the third level of the Body Tempering Realm and the fourth level of the Physical Tempering Realm.
In his opinion, to his son Li Jie, there is not much difference whether Duan Lingtian is at the second level of the Body Tempering Realm or the third level of the Body Tempering Realm.
"Duan Lingtian, did you just say that you wanted to bet five hundred taels of silver with me?"
Li Kun looked at Duan Lingtian and asked.
"yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"But as far as I know, the Ninth Elder has spent a lot of money on you over the years. I'm afraid your family's savings can't make up the five hundred taels of silver, right?"
Li Kun asked rhetorically.
There was a bit of pride in his expression, just waiting to see Duan Lingtian defeated.
"Yes, my family can't raise the five hundred taels of silver."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
He still knows a little about the situation at home.
Because of this, he wanted to steal Li Kun's five hundred taels of silver.
"Duan Lingtian, I, the sixth elder and the fifth elder made a bet. It was a bet of real money and silver. The bet was to be handed over to the head of the family and let the head of the family serve as a witness... If you want to be a free hand, then you are thinking wrong.
Already."
Li Kun said with a sarcastic smile.
"Who said I want nothing? Do you think I am you?"
Looking at Li Kun with contempt, Duan Lingtian let go of the girl's hand and said softly, ignoring Li Kun's angry eyes, "Ke'er, go to my mother's house."
The girl nodded obediently and stood next to Li Rou.
"Ninth Elder, what a blessing!"
Several elders from the Li family glanced at the girl and congratulated Li Rou one after another.
They all could see that with the girl's beauty, when she grew up, she would be a beauty that would conquer the entire country, and she would be no worse than Li Rou.
Li Rou smiled back at the congratulations expressed by these elders.
The girl standing next to her was blushing with embarrassment.
"What exactly does Tian'er want to do?"
Looking at her son who was competing with the seventh elder Li Kun, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Rou's eyes.
She is increasingly unable to see through this son.
"Then I want to see how Duan Lingtian can come up with five hundred taels of silver today. If I guess correctly, even the fifth elder may not be able to come up with another five hundred taels of silver now."
Li Kun glanced at Duan Lingtian with disdain.
Just when Li Ting was about to take out the remaining three hundred taels of silver, Duan Lingtian's next words interrupted him and made him look stunned.
"Seventh Elder, don't worry, I have no intention of borrowing it from the Fifth Elder..."
With that said, Duan Lingtian came to the front of the great elder Li Huo under the incredulous gazes of the senior Li family officials.
"Great Elder, I see that you have to practice and refine medicine, and you may have a lot of hidden diseases... How about I give you a massage for a while, and you pay me five hundred taels of silver as a reward?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Li Huo and smiled slightly.
"Tian'er, don't be ridiculous!"
Li Rou's expression changed.
In the Li family, the status of the eldest elder was still higher than that of the head of the family. Seeing her son doing everything in front of the eldest elder made her angry and anxious.
unmentionable disease?
The Great Elder himself is a ninth-grade alchemist. If there was any hidden disease, he would have cured it himself.
Just when all the senior officials of the Li family, including the head of the family, Li Nanfeng, felt that the great elder Li Huo was going to be furious.
"You just want to give me a massage for a while and you want five hundred taels of silver from me. You little guy is really a big talker."
Li Huo glanced at Duan Lingtian with interest and smiled faintly.
"Great Elder, if you don't like this, I'll give you a massage first... After that, you can give me as much money as you think it's worth, how about that?"
Duan Lingtian didn't take Li Huo's words seriously.
I have to say that Li Huo really became interested when he heard Duan Lingtian's words.
"Okay. I'm curious about what your little guy is capable of."
The reason why he agreed was because of the changes that had happened to Duan Lingtian in the past month.
In one month, the breakthrough from an ordinary person to a third-level warrior in the Body Tempering Realm is simply unbelievable!
As a ninth-grade alchemist, he understands.
Even if an ordinary person takes countless precious body tempering pills, it is impossible for him to transform into a third level warrior of the body tempering realm in just one month.
Duan Lingtian now reveals all kinds of mysteries.
Moreover, he did have a hidden illness, and he had been worried about it for many years, and he was determined to give it a try.
