The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 132 Returning the First Favor to the Li Family (7K Two-in-One Chapter)
Seeing Li Hao chatting and laughing so familiarly with the great demon king, Li Hongzhuang and Li He felt extremely complicated.

They could all see that the great demon king was very fond of Li Hao, as if they were close friends. This kind of relationship could not be brought about by the reputation of the Li family, and even Li Hao's own talent might not be so attractive.

After all, this is the great demon king of the Four Realms.

Even though Li Haotian is an extremely gifted person, his upper limit in the future will most likely be the Fourth Stage, and at most he can touch the toes of the Taoist master of Qiandao Palace.

As for transcending the Four Realms, that is an extremely difficult thing. In the Four Realms, every step is a chasm, and climbing over it is like ascending to heaven!
In the clouds, Feng Boping nodded slightly to Song Qiumo, then disappeared without coming down to exchange pleasantries.

He was used to being free and didn't like to get involved in these mundane matters. He didn't talk much with the other people in the Four Realms, and there were only a few people with whom he could chat.

If Li Hao had not been here, he would have been a breath of fresh air in the world, leisurely wandering between heaven and earth.

When the wind blows, the heart does not move; when the heart moves, the wind is hard to calm.

"How long are you going to stay here?"

After Li Hao met Song Qiumo, he brought her to the camp.

Song Qiumo looked around and saw that only a small mound of earth was left of the city, and he couldn't help but stare blankly.

Then she saw the sword-holding girl Ren Qianqian and the little white fox looking at her nervously, and she smiled slightly.

"How long do you want me to stay?" she asked Li Hao casually.

Li Hao said without thinking: "Of course the longer the better."

Song Qiumo smiled and said, "I thought you were living in poverty, so I came here to show you some kindness and make you grateful. In the future, when you reach the Four Li Realms, you can repay me for this favor. But my coming here is just the icing on the cake."

"The vast dust and sand outside this border may only need a flower like you."

Li Hao smiled.

Song Qiumo obviously didn't expect the boy to say that. Her pretty face turned slightly red. She rolled her eyes at Li Hao and said,
"I'll be here for half a year at most."

Li Hao nodded slightly, knowing that she had an appointment and half a year was extremely rare.

"You can eat whatever you want in the next six months." Li Hao said with a smile.

"I want some crispy."

"no problem."

There was no flour or other ingredients in the camp, so Li Hao found some paper and pen and wrote down all the ingredients he needed, including a lot of his favorite ingredients, as well as pens, ink, paper, and inkstone.

By the way, a chess board is also added so that you can play in your spare time.

But nowadays, I don’t have an opponent of equal strength in chess, so there is basically no experience to gain.

But Li Hao didn't care. He just kept it in mind and waited for the right person in the future.

Li Hao asked Li Hongzhuang for the geomancy map of Liangzhou, gave it to Song Qiumo, and asked her to purchase it in the nearest city.

But even the nearest city is thousands of miles away from this pass.

Originally, with Old Feng by his side, he had to be on guard against the Four-Standing Realm Demon King that might appear at any time, so he couldn't leave. Now, with Song Qiumo's help, the camp can finally get enough supplies.

Li Hao used his power to control objects, picked up trees and stones, and built a fenced courtyard around the small mound.

A number of buildings and pavilions were built in the courtyard, constructed using trees.

It is indeed the best job for a strong man in the Fifteen Mile Realm to be a contractor.

Seeing Li Hao giving this dilapidated camp a new look bit by bit, Li Hongzhuang had an illusion that this young man seemed to be able to rebuild the city that had been destroyed in the past!

However, this feeling is a bit unreal, as the great demon king also said that he would only stay for half a year.

He will leave in half a year, and then only the senior in the Four-Standing Realm on the cloud will be left. I don't know how long he can protect Li Hao.

Such top-notch experts are rarely tied to one person.

Not long after, Song Qiumo returned from his purchase, bringing back a large amount of supplies and food and drink.

Li Hao asked Ren Qianqian and the little white fox to help move them all to the small fenced yard.

Although the little white fox could not transform yet, its two little paws held some mats, blankets, etc., and it stood on its hind legs and stumbled towards the courtyard.

After half a day's work, the place has been completely transformed.

It’s just a newly built courtyard, still with the fresh jungle smell of new wood, lacking a bit of human touch.

But that's how a yard is. It's lively only when there are people living in it.

Li Hao built a fire in the yard, picked out some bodies of demons, chose the fattier parts to cut, and grilled them over the charcoal fire.

He asked Ren Qianqian to help watch the fire, while he kneaded the dough and made cakes for Song Qiumo.

If you didn't see the rivers of blood and the mountains of corpses outside the fenced courtyard, the scene inside the courtyard alone would still be very heartwarming.

Li Hongzhuang felt a little empty, as if she had nothing to do for a moment.

With two people in the Four-Standing Realm in charge, this news should spread quickly. Unless it is some stupid little monsters, the big monsters will basically not dare to get close.

She no longer needs to hold the sword all the time, ready to fight at any time.

The body, which had been tense for more than ten years, slowly relaxed at this moment.

So she also sat in front of the fire, smelling the fragrant aroma of barbecue, watching the young man busy kneading dough beside her, and suddenly she felt that all this seemed like a dream.

She never thought that one day she would have such a leisurely moment in this dangerous place.

Soon, the dough was kneaded, and with Li Hao's full effort, the fermentation of the dough accelerated.

Li Hao set up a pan to make pancakes, and then heated up another pan to make some fried crispy food for Song Qiumo.

He added some chopped coriander and other spices to give it a hint of flavor.

"Let's eat!"

When everything was ready, Li Hao called Feng Lao to take a seat.

Now that Old Feng has been exposed and known by Li Hongzhuang, there is no need for him to hide his identity on a daily basis, except for not revealing it.

Several people gathered around the firewood, eating and drinking casually.

Old Feng ate and drank by himself, eating barbecue and drinking.

Li Hao handed him a pancake with barbecue in it.

Mr. Feng found it a little bit fresh, took two bites, and couldn't help but praise it highly.

While he was enjoying his meal, Li Hao took back his bottle of wine and took two sips himself, feeling refreshed.

When Old Feng reacted, he couldn't help but glare at him and snatch the bottle back. He didn't have much wine left.

Seeing how intimate and casual Li Hao was with this old senior, Li Hongzhuang and Li He became more and more confused about this young man.

After eating and drinking, Feng Boping patted his butt and walked out of the courtyard, disappearing without a trace, looking extremely free and easy.

Li Hao looked at the direction where Old Feng left, but sighed secretly in his heart, knowing that the old man was afraid that if he stayed in the courtyard for too long, his identity would be recognized by Li Hongzhuang and the others, which would affect him, so he chose to sit alone among the trees on the mountain peak, accompanied by the fresh breeze from heaven and earth.

Li Hao felt ashamed and stood up to sort out the corpses of the monsters.

He planned to brew a jar of good wine for the old man.

After picking and choosing, Li Hao cut off a lot of good things from several three immortal monsters, and returned to the yard to start brewing.

Song Qiumo was sleeping in a side room in the yard, yawning and looking bored.

Occasionally, her eyes would fall on the figure in the yard who was busy with the trivialities of life, and her lips would curl up slightly, unable to help feeling a little amused.

She came today to deliver the sword manual, the unique skill of Tan Palace, and the young man casually took it into his arms. She had observed that Li Hao had not even glanced at it a second time since he received the sword manual.

The world's most advanced martial arts and the immense wealth of the God General's Mansion, in the eyes of this young man, seem to be no match for the mundane life in the kitchen.

What a wonderful little fellow...

In the evening, Li Hao arranged all the wine jars and buried them in the cellar behind the courtyard, waiting for fermentation.

Under the glow of the red sunset, Li Hao finally had some free time. He sat on an old chair he made of wood in the small fenced yard. He rocked his body gently, took out the book of martial arts from his arms, and slowly flipped through it.

Tai Chi Qiankun Sword.

The union of yin and yang.

Li Hao flipped through the pages one by one. When he finished reading them, a hint popped up in front of him, indicating that he had already gotten started.

Li Hao immediately put away the sword manual, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

As the sword technique was recorded, a lot of information flooded into his mind. The sword meaning and core of this sword technique were revealed like peeling off layers of onion as he pondered and understood it.

What is Tai?
Than bigger, but with a little more.

What is big?
Heaven and earth are great!

"Everything in the world has its own Dao. The artistic conception and Dao that I understand are not enough and are too shallow. These sword techniques seem to have something in common with each other. If they can be integrated, perhaps an all-encompassing art can be created!"

Li Hao suddenly understood something.

He has now entered the realm of heaven and man, and has entered the gate of heaven. His soul and body have become one, which is half a step beyond the mortal world.

His thoughts were no longer limited by the martial arts itself. He could understand the essence of all the martial arts in the world, but he did not need to follow their forms.

His Grandmaster's Way is everything, but now, Li Hao feels that he has only taken a small step on this path. If he can really reach the end, his Grandmaster's journey will be considered to have reached its peak.

I wonder what kind of scene I will see at that time?
Li Hao's thoughts drifted slightly, and then he smiled gently.

Just let everything take its course.

Just like his master's heart, it is just right and natural.

There is no need to deliberately cater to or pursue anything in the world, just like the sunlight shining on the earth, it is not deliberate, it is just the cycle of nature.

If you are greedy for that ray of light and chase after the sun, it will be like Kuafu chasing the sun, and you will eventually dry up and die.

Although the sun is warm, you cannot look directly at it.

Although the bright moon is cold, it can illuminate the past and the present.

There is no need to be obsessed with one side of heaven and earth. Everything in the world has its own charm.

The heaven and earth are like this, so are people, and so are the exercises.

Li Hao felt that his state of mind seemed to have improved a little bit. Many skills in his mind had changed subtly, but he was still far from the peak of the Grandmaster level.

He smiled slightly, not caring, but waved for a drawing board, paper and pen, then his soul flew into the air and looked at the corpses of the demons piled up in the distance.

He sketched and outlined it stroke by stroke.

These demons are dead, but carving their corpses still provides a lot of experience.

Li Hao sketched one picture after another casually, and his painting experience points increased rapidly, getting closer and closer to the sixth level.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

In the past two days, the area outside the fenced courtyard has been exceptionally quiet, with no more demons appearing.

The young men in the courtyard were also happy to have some peace and quiet. They painted thousands of pictures and drew all the corpses of the monsters more than ten times. They basically gained all the experience points, and their painting skills also broke through to the sixth level, earning an art point.

The experience value from stage six to stage seven is 100,000.

It is necessary to accumulate 100,000 experience points to reach the bottleneck of the sixth stage. Then it is necessary to enter the spiritual realm of painting to be promoted to the seventh stage.

"Enter the spirit, enter the spirit, when can I enter the spirit..." Li Hao murmured to himself, feeling that he had no clue for the time being.

He stopped painting and continued to write down his skills.

Record down each of the techniques that can help improve your skills.

At noon, smoke rose from the small courtyard, and a group of people riding fast arrived outside the camp.

Feng Boping seemed to have noticed something. His eyes changed slightly, and his figure flashed and disappeared beside the firewood where the barbecue was almost cooked.

The few people were already accustomed to his sudden appearances and disappearances, and did not pay any attention to him. Instead, all their attention was focused on the new guest outside the yard.

Li Hongzhuang looked at him intently and was slightly startled: "Eunuch Chu?"

She recognized the person who came. When her father received the order when she was a child, it was the other person who came to the house in person.

Chu Jiuyue rode his horse into the pass, and when he saw the mess and the bumpy ground, his eyes couldn't help but become slightly solemn.

The land here is reddish brown, as if it were soaked in countless blood.

He looked around and soon saw the messy campsite, with many tents torn apart and piled together.

On the other side, there was a dark shadow. It turned out to be the corpses of demons piled up like a hill, and some of the corpses had already shown signs of decay.

He smelled a fishy and rotten odor, and his face looked a little bad, but soon returned to normal. His gaze fell on the center of the camp, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Compared to the mess and sea of ​​blood outside, in the center of the camp was a small fenced courtyard with unique scenery.

There is smoke rising from the courtyard, which sounds like a farm family's life.

But how could there be farmers at this border area?
He rode forward, followed by several palace guards. When they arrived in front of the small fenced courtyard, Chu Jiuyue immediately saw the scene in the courtyard. His eyes met with Song Qiumo, who was sitting in front of the firewood. The latter had a calm look and no reaction.

Chu Jiuyue noticed Li Hao and Li Hongzhuang on the other side, and suddenly it dawned on her that it was no wonder the atmosphere was so quiet, it turned out that there was this big demon king in charge.

He felt a little surprised. It seemed that Tan Gong's principle of keeping to himself had been broken.

Chu Jiuyue got off the horse and walked into the courtyard.

"Emperor Yu's handwritten order has arrived. Please ask Earl Li Hao to receive it."

Chu Jiuyue preached softly.

Li Hao also noticed this acquaintance, and immediately patted the flour on his hands, walked forward and bowed slightly: "Eunuch, long time no see."

"Is Mr. Li okay?" Chu Jiuyue said with a smile.

Li Hao frowned slightly and nodded, "Everything is fine."

"Emperor Yu is grateful to the Earl for his bravery in going to the border and guarding the pass, so he specially bestows a sword on him. Please accept it." Chu Jiuyue said simply.

There aren't many idle people here, so he doesn't need to say too many pompous words.

Li Hao was a little surprised when he saw the dark golden sword handed over by the other party, but he still took it with both hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty Emperor Yu, thank you, Eunuch Chu."

"No need to thank our family, I'm just an errand boy."

Chu Jiuyue smiled and said, "His Majesty has ordered that if the Earl is willing, he can go to Dayuzhou at any time to worship in the outer hall of Qiandao Palace to practice and listen to the teachings of the saints."

Hearing this, Li Hongzhuang and Li He both stood up and looked at Li Hao in shock.

How could this young master be so favored by Emperor Yu?
Practicing in Qiandao Palace is something that only the descendants of the royal family have the qualification to do throughout the dynasties.

Moreover, even for the royal heirs, the competition is fierce and not every prince can succeed.

Li Hao is the young master of the Divine Generals' Mansion and is very likely to be a true dragon in the future. With such a sensitive identity, if he were to enter the Qiandao Palace to practice, his relationship with the royal family would be too close. What would the other four Divine Generals' Mansions think?
From this we can see that this grace is really scary.

Li Hao also understood the meaning of these words and could not help but wonder, had the Emperor Yu really seen him? Could it be that he was the old man who played chess with him under the willow tree that day?

There seems to be no other possibility besides this.

Looking at Chu Jiuyue's kind eyes, Li Hao bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, I have a mission to complete, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Chu Jiuyue was a little surprised and looked at Li Hao carefully. Was this kid making random guesses, or did he really want to stay here to guard?
He had also heard about the battle between father and son and understood it more clearly. Judging from Li Hao's expression, it seemed that he really wanted to sever ties with his father?
Are you going to give up your noble family name and wealth, and now you are also going to give up the opportunity to practice in Qiandao Palace, and you are going to cut it off at all costs?
Chu Jiuyue stared at Li Hao and said, "You are still young, don't be too impulsive in making some decisions."

"Thank you, eunuch, for the message." Li Hao said.

Chu Jiuyue heard this and knew that he could not persuade her, so he stopped talking and nodded slightly:

"Since you have made up your mind, I will bring you back with your original words."

Li Hao nodded.

Chu Jiuyue glanced at him, without any lingering feelings, and got on her horse to say goodbye.

When they were galloping dozens of miles outside the camp, Chu Jiuyue suddenly thought of something and said to himself, "It seems that I left a little too early. The smell of barbecue in the yard is quite good..."

His stomach growled slightly.

He shook his head. Good horses never turn back. He couldn't bring himself to go back, so he could only hold the horse's belly and hurry off at full speed.

……

……

In the courtyard.

Since Chu Jiuyue left, Li Hongzhuang and Li He also heard the conversation between the two, and saw Li Hao's resolute intention from his reply. The two wanted to say something but couldn't, and couldn't help sighing in their hearts.

He was willing to give up even the opportunity to practice in Qiandao Palace, which showed how determined this kid was. They knew it was useless to persuade him.

Li Hao returned to the firewood. Song Qiumo's eyes fell on the sword in his hand and he said calmly, "The sword is not bad."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao grasped the hilt of the sword and gently pulled it out.

With a clang, the sword was unsheathed, and there was a sound like a dragon's roar, and a bright color seemed to pass between heaven and earth.

Just the sharpness of the sword when it is unsheathed gives you a feeling of cutting through the target.

"It's Long Xiao!"

Li He let out a low cry, with shock and solemnity in his eyes.

Li Hongzhuang's face also changed slightly. She didn't expect that Emperor Yu would give her such a precious sword.

This is the first of the ten famous swords!
Its fame and status are higher than Yongye's. After all, Yongye took ten years to forge, but it was only unsheathed for three years before being sealed again.

The Longxiao Sword has passed through the hands of several powerful men in the Dayu Dynasty. It has been forged for hundreds of years and was once the sword of a sword saint.

"Yes, it is a good sword."

Li Hao tapped the sword blade lightly, and there seemed to be a low dragon roar coming, like a murderous aura, which made him feel the cold edge.

After taking a closer look, Li Hao sheathed the sword and handed it to Ren Qianqian.

Ren Qianqian hung her sword around her waist, held it in both hands, with surprise and excitement in her eyes.

She had also heard of Long Xiao's name. This was a top-notch sword. Even her father had never had the chance to take a peek at it, but now she had actually touched it.

"The barbecue is almost ready, let's get ready and eat."

Li Hao smiled.

Li Hongzhuang and Li He came back to their senses with complicated looks. At the same time, a figure appeared silently. It was the old Feng who had just left.

He didn't care much about Li Hao's reward. He just glanced at Long Xiao, took out the wine gourd, and prepared to eat and drink.

That night.

Li Hao copied down 124 martial arts techniques, which were the sum total of the Li family martial arts techniques he learned in Tingyu Tower. What he copied down were the advanced levels that he deduced himself.

What he had learned was of inferior quality, but now he was returning the superior quality. Li Hao thought that he had made back his money with interest.

In addition, he also wrote three books of unique skills, all of which were created after he entered the Grandmaster realm, combining his own insights into the artistic conception of all things.

He also packed these three unique skills books together and gave them to the Li family.

However, learning these three unique skills is not so easy, and there is a prerequisite.

After finishing writing.

Li Hao handed it to Song Qiumo and asked her to help him deliver it to the nearby city of Liangzhou, find the local Li family garrison, and ask them to send someone to send it back to the Li family.

……

……

a few days later.

Qingzhou City, in front of the General’s Mansion.

Several dragon lions came galloping over. These dragon lions were huge in size and could carry seven or eight people. Some of them had huge bags tied on their backs.

The leader jumped off the dragon lion, came to the guard, showed his identity token, and then whispered a few words.

Soon, the news reached Shanheyuan.

In the study, Li Tiangang was reading the interrogation results. His face was gloomy and his eyes were flickering.

At this time, a personal guard came in and reported the situation outside the mansion.

Li Tiangang was stunned when he heard this. He slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "Returning the first favor to the Li family? What does he mean? You said he sent back a lot of skills?!"

Seeing the guard nod, Li Tiangang's face turned pale and he said, "Bring them all in. I want to see how he pays it back!"

Soon, the huge bag on the back of the dragon lion was delivered to the Shanhe Courtyard.

In addition to the package, there was also a letter.

Yuxuan handed the letter to Li Tiangang, and casually opened the bundle, only to see that it was full of books.

Li Tiangang opened the letter and saw a few lines of words written in an elegant yet neat handwriting.

The handwriting is obviously better than those of the generals.

After reading it, his face turned grim.

He raised his hands and picked up a few books, and flipped through them quickly.

The skills in the book seem to have the same handwriting, all written by the same person.

After finishing one book, he would read another one, and so on.

The yard was eerily quiet, without a sound.

Zhao Bo and Li Fu were standing aside, looking worried.

"Okay, very good!"

After reading a few books, Li Tiangang's eyes were filled with anger and shock.

These few martial arts books that I picked up at random were all of top-grade level, just as described in the letter!
The other party not only returned the skills, but also paid back the principal and interest, and paid back the excess!

Total quantity: 124 books.

In addition, there are three unique books.

Li Tiangang found it hard to believe that his son had learned so many skills!

Hundreds of books!

In just fourteen years, he learned hundreds of books?

While practicing so many complicated techniques, he was able to cultivate to the Fifteen Miles Realm? Even in the battle with him, he suddenly realized the mastery of the heavenly being?

Li Tiangang couldn't help but feel a little shaken at this moment.

Such talent is unheard of. Even if a demon is reincarnated and takes over another's body, it may not be able to reach this level.

Could it be that I was really wrong?

Is that really too harsh on him?

But soon, the cold eyes with the sword drawn appeared in his mind, and the warmth in his heart quickly cooled down.

Although he is extremely talented, his character is indeed not suitable for being the true dragon of the Li family. Even he can draw his sword when facing him, let alone other members of the Li family?

He would not be able to feel at ease if he handed the Li family over to the other party.

Dayu is facing a troubled time now. He must steer the sailboat well and cannot afford any mistakes. Otherwise, even a thousand years of glory will be destroyed in an instant. How can he face his ancestors then!

Taking a deep breath, Li Tiangang picked up the rest of the skills and started copying them.

These skills had names on them. He gave the top-grade skills to Yu Xuan for review, and he personally checked the unique skills in them.

With Yu Xuan's status and fame, he cannot easily access unique skills.

At the same time, Li Tiangang called several elders from Tingyu Tower. These elders were not allowed to leave the house for the rest of their lives. They were all the best illegitimate children of Li Muxiu's generation. They usually cooperated with Li Muxiu to manage and look after Tingyu Tower.

These ministers are also the living dictionaries of the Li family, and their heads are filled with many secrets of the Li family.

The martial arts techniques collected in Tingyu Tower are also reviewed by them on a daily basis.

As the elder cabinet set out, other academies also received the news. They were inevitably surprised and shocked, and they all rushed to the Shanhe Courtyard.

In the course of one day and one night, several elders reviewed all the techniques and confirmed that they were all practicable techniques without any defects.

Upon hearing the news, Li Tiangang felt extremely complicated. He was shocked, proud, happy, and at the same time, he felt indescribable anger.

After hearing what the elders said, He Jianlan, Li Xuanli and others were shocked.

There are hundreds of top-grade martial arts techniques here. Even for a master, in addition to spending his entire life to deduce his own unique skills, it also takes a lot of time to deduce other martial arts, and he rarely wastes time on such things.

It was a thousand years ago that so many high-quality martial arts techniques were collected at once in Tingyu Tower.

At that time, sects in various places were disrupting the imperial order and breaking the law with force, so the court sent their Divine Generals' Mansion to clean up and encircle the sects. After a bloodbath, they were able to collect hundreds of martial arts techniques at one time, of which only a hundred were of the top quality.

And now, these skills were all given back by Li Hao alone? !

Could it be that there are several powerful people in the fourth level realm who are helping Li Hao to deduce?
What shocked them the most was that they knew that Li Hao had been staying in Tingyu Tower with his second uncle for many years. Li Hao could learn any martial arts there if he wanted to, and since he was a direct descendant, it didn't matter.

However, Li Hao was only fourteen years old, but he had learned hundreds of martial arts techniques from it. This was a bit too exaggerated.

Where can we have so much time and energy!
"Tian Gang, are you satisfied now?"

Li Muxiu was alarmed and rushed over. After understanding the situation, there was no joy on his face. Instead, he looked at Li Tiangang with a cold expression.

Hearing his words, the faces of the others also changed slightly, thinking about what Li Hao's purpose was in giving back these skills.
