Long Yi picked up the check and glanced at it. It clearly said 100 million Longguo currency. If someone else received such a huge sum of money, they would definitely be ecstatic.
But this time, his gains in the Sheqi Mountains were far more than 100 million yuan. A single earth-level demon crystal could be sold for tens of millions of yuan.
Although he was calm in his heart, he still expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Lu. I would be honored to accept your invitation."
Long Yi casually put the check into his pocket, but he did not let his guard down at all.
If it was just to thank me, anyone could have delivered the check to me. Why bother using Lu Jiutian from the Heaven Realm? There must be something else waiting for me.
As expected, the next second Lu Jiutian changed the subject and said, "Young man, are you interested in officially joining the Tianlong team? I will directly grant you the rank of colonel and let this girl Shanmao be your deputy."
The mountain cat beside him bit his lips lightly, as if expecting Long Yi's affirmative answer.
Long Yi said firmly without hesitation, "Senior Lu, I'm sorry, but I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner. Practicing medicine and saving lives is my lifelong pursuit. I'm not interested in this kind of violence."
Lu Jiutian said patiently: "Young man, don't be so absolute. It's not too late to make a decision after I finish what I have to say.
Although I, an old man, don't hold any official position, I am actually one of the four elders of Xuanyuan Pavilion. Even if you don't want to join the military district, it would be nice to join Xuanyuan Pavilion."
Shanmao was a little surprised. You know, Xuanyuan Pavilion is the top official force in Longguo, and its status is far above the military region and the alien group.
As the sharpest sword of Dragon Country, those who want to join Xuanyuan Pavilion need to go through rigorous devilish training and selection. I have never heard of anyone skipping the selection and joining Xuanyuan Pavilion directly.
Long Yi listened quietly on the side, without any expression on his face, and seemed still unmoved.
Lu Jiutian continued, "Based on your outstanding performance in this martial arts competition, the four of us old guys have decided to gather the top young masters of Dragon Country to form a special operations team, and we have appointed you as the team leader.
If you are willing to join Xuanyuan Pavilion and agree to serve as a team leader, we can make an exception and allow you to become an honorary elder."
Lu Jiutian made this decision after careful consideration. After all, directly appointing Long Yi as the fifth elder of Xuanyuan Pavilion would be too far-fetched in terms of strength and qualifications.
But if it is just an honorary elder, then Long Yi is qualified for the position based on his outstanding performance in this competition.
After hearing these words, Long Yi still had no idea, but the mountain cat beside him had already had a storm in his heart.
She was already shocked that Long Yi was allowed to skip the review and join Xuanyuan Pavilion directly, and now she was directly appointed as an honorary elder.
Although she was not a member of Xuanyuan Pavilion, she was very clear about the status and power of the elders. They were big men who could influence the situation with just a stomp of their feet, and many people could never reach that level in their entire lives.
Long Yi said calmly, "I'm sorry, Senior Lu. These conditions may be very tempting to others, but I only want to cure diseases and save lives. I have no other desires."
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Jiutian's eyes. He didn't expect that Long Yi could refuse so decisively. Could it be that fame and fortune were really like clouds in his eyes?
"Long Yi, please think carefully about what I just said. Joining Xuanyuan Pavilion will benefit you in every way and will not harm you in any way. It will also guarantee you a life of wealth and prosperity, as well as power and profit."
"Senior, I appreciate your kindness, but my thoughts will never change." Long Yi said firmly.
The reason why he was unwilling to join Xuanyuan Pavilion was not only because it went against his original intention, but also because joining an official organization would inevitably be bound by certain rules, not to mention his confusing life experience waiting for him to decipher.
Shanmao was watching from the side with a confused look on his face. His grandfather had never begged others so many times before. Long Yi refused decisively.
Being rejected repeatedly by a junior made Lu Jiutian's face look a little ugly.
I originally thought that as long as I could promise him huge profits, Long Yi would definitely accept it with great joy. After all, ordinary people would never encounter such an opportunity in their lifetime.
Although he was only an honorary elder of Xuanyuan Pavilion, he was still a very important figure in the entire Dragon Kingdom. Moreover, who could guarantee that he would not be promoted to a formal elder in the future?
Lu Jiutian was annoyed, but a playful smile appeared on his lips. He said in a deep voice, "Young man, do you really not know what kind of existence my Xuanyuan Pavilion is?"
Long Yi smiled slightly and said honestly, "I don't know. I'm immersed in medicine all day and don't have time to learn about these things."
"You...you..." Lu Jiutian didn't expect that Long Yi was so straightforward and couldn't even say the most basic polite words.
He changed the subject and said angrily, "Even if you don't join my Xuanyuan Pavilion, the Tianlong Base is a top secret in the military and is absolutely not allowed to be known to outsiders.
And you have been with the members of the Tianlong team for so long, and now you only have two choices, either join the higher-level Xuanyuan Pavilion or join the Tianlong team.
Of course, there is a third option, which is to shut up forever. Since you are a hero of Dragon Country, nothing will happen to you. You will just be watched all day long."
Long Yi frowned. It seemed that this was a complete Hongmen Banquet. If the sugar-coated bullets couldn't move him, he would have to resort to hard tactics.
"Senior Lu, it seems that if I don't join Xuanyuan Pavilion, I will never be able to live in peace in the future."
Lu Jiutian smiled cunningly, "I guess so. From the moment you showed your talent in the martial arts competition, you were destined to become a member of my Xuanyuan Pavilion.
I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to join my Xuanyuan Pavilion?"
After he finished speaking, the aura on his body surged like an unmatched wild sword. The whole room was filled with the sharp sword intent. If you listened carefully, you could even hear the clanging sound of swords clashing.
Shanmao's pretty face turned pale, and she desperately blocked in front of Long Yi, saying in shock: "Grandpa, Long Yi is a hero of Long Country, you can't do this!"
Long Yi was shocked and quickly took out the Barrier Dragon Scale from the storage space. According to Hydra, it could withstand the full force attack of a master in the Heavenly Realm.
At the same time, he released his spiritual sense to cover Lu Jiutian, paying close attention to his subtle changes so that he could take countermeasures at any time.
The next second, Long Yi's originally tense body completely relaxed. He actually sat directly on the sofa, picked up the teacup and started drinking by himself.
"Senior Lu, this tea is good, wouldn't you like to try it?"
Lu Jiutian looked at Long Yi in astonishment. How could this young man remain so calm under his violent sword intent?
He said coldly, "Nizi, get out of the way! Today I'm going to show this kid my swordsmanship!"
Shanmao shook his head firmly: "Impossible! If you want to hurt Long Yi, you have to kill me first."
