Chapter 157 Invitation to the Four Flying Conference
When Li Chu saw Zhao Liangchen's expression change, he knew that he was probably thinking the wrong thing - his daily interactions with his master and Wang Longqi had allowed him to accumulate rich experience in cross-server chatting.
He added: "I mean, I want to learn the technique of making talismans from you."
"Oh." Zhao Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought for a while and replied, "If it's the basic techniques of making talismans, of course it's fine. But if Taoist Xiao Li wants to learn some of the unique talismans of my Feilai Sect, I'm sorry I can't teach them to you."
Li Chu said: "If it is a unique talisman or a secret that is not passed on, I will certainly not get involved. I will just learn some basic techniques."
"That's no problem." Zhao Liangchen agreed readily.
"Then..." After the terms were agreed, Li Chu asked, "Brother Zhao, what are you doing here?"
He looked at Zhao Liangchen quietly.
Please start your performance.
Zhao Liangchen sighed and said, "This is a long story..."
"The founder of our Feilai Sect is called Fei Dao Ren. He traveled around the world and founded our Jiangnan Feilai Sect, Beidi Feitian Sect, Zhongzhou Feisheng Temple, and Xiyu Feixian City... a total of four sects."
"Although our four sects are far away from each other, we are still connected."
"Every five years, they jointly host a competition for their disciples... the Four Flying Conference."
"Um?"
As the two were talking, an old Taoist priest suddenly appeared from nowhere.
Element awareness.
He looked at Zhao Liangchen, squinted his eyes, and asked, "The Sifei you mentioned... is it serious?"
"Forehead."
Zhao Liangchen knew that he was Li Chu's master, and he was full of respect for him, but the questions this old man asked were... weird...
After thinking for a while, he answered seriously: "In theory... it's quite serious."
Then, he continued, "The Four Flying Conferences take turns to host, and this year it is my Feilai Sect's turn to hold it."
"The four sects will send their own outstanding disciples to attend the meeting. As the host, our Feilai Sect must attach great importance to it..."
"But an accident happened the day before yesterday."
Speaking of this, Zhao Liangchen smiled bitterly.
"My junior brother Lang Yuyan is the chief disciple of this generation of Feilai Sect. It is natural that he should go to fight in the Four Flying Conference."
Li Chu nodded slightly.
He also had some understanding of Zhao Liangchen's experience.
Although he was the strongest disciple of Feilai Sect's generation, Lang Yuyan was chosen as the chief disciple because of his image.
The sect has invested a lot of resources to promote Lang Yuyan to become a very popular young cultivator in Hangzhou Prefecture. The cultivators all know privately that Lang Yuyan's strength is quite poor.
But it is undeniable that he did bring a lot of popularity and profits to Feilai Sect.
In fact, Li Chu disagrees with this.
In his opinion, judging people by their appearance is a very undesirable practice.
Um.
"But the other day, when we were fighting, I accidentally injured him severely..."
Zhao Liangchen scratched his head, a little confused.
"It's quite strange. I had already restrained 70% of my sword energy, but I still managed to pierce his defense..."
"This is where things get bad."
"Although Junior Brother's life is not in danger, he needs to recover from his injuries for a while. He will definitely not be able to participate in the Four Flying Conference to be held today."
"My Feilai Sect's chief disciple is absent..."
"No one can replace him for the time being. An elder in the sect suggested that I participate on behalf of the sect, but..."
Zhao Liangchen frowned and expressed his concerns.
"Firstly, I accidentally injured my junior brother, and if I were to go out to fight... this would be too shameful. If I achieve results, people would inevitably say that I am scheming and did it on purpose."
"If I don't achieve satisfactory results and bring shame to the sect, then... that would be even more serious."
Li Chu could understand.
Once Zhao Liangchen agreed to fight, he would be put on the fire.
Regardless of whether he is on the positive or negative side, there will always be a group of "righteous people" standing on the moral high ground who will ruthlessly slander him.
"I owe Lang Yuyan a first place", "He is an expert in civil wars but a novice in foreign wars", "He is a bully at home"... Such words are enough to lead to his social death.
Especially for Zhao Liangchen, just four simple words were enough to instantly pierce his soft heart.
"Appearances are determined by the mind."
"Secondly, I have some understanding of the other three sects. Their power is slightly stronger than that of Feilai Sect, and the strength of their disciples is also quite impressive."
"What you said is a bit conservative." The old Taoist priest suddenly leaned over again, scaring Zhao Liangchen.
Yu Qian'an said leisurely, "The Jiangnan Feilai Sect is only one of the more outstanding sects in Hangzhou Prefecture, and it can't even be ranked in the top three."
"The Feitian Sect in the north is a large sect that is as famous as the Yanzhao Sect. There are no less than a thousand disciples, and there have been many outstanding people in the past hundred years."
"The status of Zhongzhou Feisheng Temple in Chaoge City is similar to that of Feilai Sect in Hangzhou Prefecture, but... that is Chaoge, so you can imagine the difference."
"The Feixian City in the Western Regions... is home to many beautiful Hu women, with blonde hair and blue eyes, curvaceous figures, fiery passion, and fierce like wolves and tigers..."
As Yu Qian'an was talking, his gaze suddenly became distant, as if he was recalling something, and it seemed like his gaze was about to deviate.
Zhao Liangchen quickly coughed lightly.
Yu Qian'an retracted his gaze and said, "Haha, when people get old, they tend to lose focus when talking..."
Zhao Liangchen also laughed.
I thought to myself that the direction you were walking in was not the direction an elderly person should go...
"Feixian City should be considered the strongest among the four sects you mentioned. After all, it is a city. In terms of foundation and power, it is much stronger than the other three sects."
"If you ask me, your Feilai Sect's competition with those three clans is like a sparrow riding a big goose - you are overestimating your own abilities. It's probably difficult to win no matter what..."
The old Taoist priest ruthlessly exposed the truth, and Zhao Liangchen felt a little embarrassed.
One flower, four petals, over the past thousand years, the results are completely different. Limited by the location of Jiangnanzhou and the subsequent circumstances, Feilai Sect is indeed the worst developed among the four sects.
The fact is just as Yu Qian'an said, in the past hundred years, the Feilai Sect has hardly ever won the first place in the Four Flying Conference.
Most of the time, it is at the end.
But…it wasn’t him who had to go up there and embarrass himself before.
Thinking about his own situation, his face became worse and worse...
Li Chu quickly stopped his master with his eyes.
Almost there…
People are about to cry...
Don't kill people, just don't kill them...
Then he asked, "So, Brother Zhao, you came to me to..."
"Oh." Zhao Liangchen said quickly: "That's right, I thought about it and came up with a solution that may be able to solve my dilemma."
"that is……"
"Find another person with profound cultivation and handsome appearance to participate in this competition on behalf of my sect. This will not only save the face of the sect, but also prevent me from being criticized..."
"This candidate... after much thought, there is no one better than Taoist Xiao Li."
After Zhao Liangchen said this, he looked at Li Chu cautiously.
After all, it was a big trouble, and he was not sure whether Li Chu would agree.
Li Chu did frown slightly.
"This kind of impersonation... is a little bit dishonorable..." he hesitated.
"Indeed, I also know that you would have such concerns." Zhao Liangchen said: "Although you are relatively famous in Yuhang Town, there are not many people in Hangzhou Prefecture who know you. The other three sects have no chance of knowing your origins..."
"Once the Four Flying Conference is over, they will leave. The next such conference will be five years later... It will be the next batch of people, so the possibility of being exposed is extremely small."
Li Chu frowned again: "Besides...fighting for others, the responsibility is not small..."
"You don't have to feel any psychological burden. Even if you lose the competition, I will bear all the responsibility. I will never..."
Li Chu listened to him rambling on and on, but he couldn't get to the point for a long time. He simply looked at him and said, "You have to pay more."
"Huh?" Zhao Liangchen blinked suddenly.
I didn't expect you to say that...
"It's not about the money..." Li Chu explained, "It's mainly because I've recently become interested in Qi Gathering Pills..."
Which cultivator is not interested in Qi Gathering Pills... Zhao Liangchen smiled bitterly in his heart.
"One thousand!" He gritted his teeth and said, "One thousand Qi Gathering Pills. This is all my savings over the years. The sect doesn't give me many resources, and many of them were accumulated by me privately exorcising evil spirits for others... If it weren't for the difficulty this time..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Chu held his hand.
"Don't worry about any difficulties. There is true love in the world." The little Taoist said sincerely, "When one side is in trouble, all sides should support it."

p.s. It is confirmed that there will be a wave of splash screen recommendations the day after tomorrow, and there may be more updates at that time (I dare not say for sure). At that time, I hope everyone will help with various votes, rewards, comments, and subscriptions... It will be good for the data.
Friends who read pirated copies can also come and help to increase the popularity. Recently, many friends who used to read pirated copies often said that they came to subscribe to support, which was quite touching. The genuine version has chapters and passionate interactions with the author. And... with my daily updates, it may only cost the price of a bottle of water a month...
In addition, readers have mentioned several times before that the character list of this book has been created. I didn't use online pictures. If you can reach a certain level, I will hire an artist to draw it. So everyone can click the heart, like, etc. when you have nothing to do...
Thank you.
