The Magician of Cultivation

"Oh?"

Li Luxue asked, "Nephew Li Yu, then tell me, what kind of compensation will Senior Longgui provide?"

In fact, when Li Yu said that Qixia Mountain was willing to submit to Xueyan Kingdom and Longgui was willing to protect the Li Dynasty, he knew that the "parliamentary system" was no longer the point.

Prince Lu Xue was 100% sure that his royal brother would agree.

Li Yu's smile widened and he nodded, "Brother Baxia promised to send out magic beasts to form three armies: sea, land and air. And the races that signed the contract with humans are all powerful main war races in Qixia Mountain."

"Of course, in the early stages, we will first form a land cavalry team, consisting of the Wind Demon Wolves, Fiery Lions, and Blazing Tigers."

"This is true!"

Old Marshal Wu stood up quickly, his beard shaking with excitement.

"Absolutely true," Li Yu nodded and smiled, "However, these must be implemented based on the 'parliamentary system'. Dear seniors, some things are not for me, a junior, to say."

His tone suddenly became serious, and his powerful spiritual awareness instantly filled the entire council hall, as if a mountain was pressing down on everyone's heart.

Everyone's eyes focused at the same time and they couldn't help but look at him.

"The alliance between Qixia Mountain and Xueyan Kingdom will surely take the kingdom to a new level of strength. This is a major event that will benefit the present and future generations. We cannot miss this opportunity because of short-term gains and losses."

Li Yu's voice is low but very contagious.

"I am a Xueyan, and naturally, like all of you elders, I hope that this kingdom will be strong and the people will be prosperous. But as the saying goes, there is no gain without sacrifice, and there is no reward without effort."

"The hatred between the Qixia Mountain demon beasts and the Xueyan Kingdom has existed for hundreds and thousands of years. Humans are suspicious and hateful of them, so why don't they fear us?"

"The parliamentary system is the best solution at the moment. All matters are discussed by voting, and the top leaders of both sides have a veto power. This is the only way to let each other down."

"There is no basis of trust between the two sides. If we want to cooperate for a long time, a 'parliament' is imperative."

Li Yu finished speaking in one breath and stopped talking.

He has said everything that needs to be said. The rest depends on how the people in power in Xueyan Kingdom decide.

Call ~

After more than ten breaths, Li Luxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Wu Guizhi and Ernst who were still weighing the pros and cons, shook his head and sighed with some self-mockery:

"People like us think and calculate too much. None of the children can see far ahead. It's true that 'there is gain only when there is sacrifice, and there is reward only when there is effort'."

Li Luxue showed admiration on her face, "Nephew Li Yu, your uncle is really convinced this time."

"I will report to my brother, explain the pros and cons, and do my best to promote the implementation of the parliamentary system."

"Prince Luxue, I will write to His Majesty with you."

Wu Guizhi stood up, clasped her fists and saluted, saying sincerely:

"On behalf of the Xueyan military, I would like to thank Master Li Yu. Regardless of whether the final alliance is successful or not, the master is the military's best friend."

"Marshal Wu, you absolutely cannot do that."

Li Yu hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting, saying respectfully: "The old Marshal has been loyal to the country and has worked hard for decades. He has always been a role model for the younger generation to admire and learn from. Please don't let the younger generation down."

"Haha, heroes emerge young!"

Wu Guizhi's eyes sparkled, and she laughed heartily, "You are just what I like. I think we should not be so unfamiliar with each other."

"How about this, I won't call you a wizard, and you don't call me old marshal anymore."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Since we are both level five, how about we treat each other as equals? You call me Brother Wu, and I call you Brother Li."

"Fuck... Does this old man have no shame at all?"

Li Luxue's face was shaking wildly and his nose was crooked with anger. Everyone was stunned at the same time.

When he was young, he studied military tactics with Marshal Wu. Strictly speaking, he was half a disciple of Wu Guizhi.

He calls Li Yu his nephew, and Marshal Wu regards him as his younger brother. This relationship is quite complicated.

Li Yu was not that surprised, as this situation was very common in the world of cultivation.

Cultivators strive for immortality, and each breakthrough in a realm can enhance the vitality of the body and greatly increase lifespan accordingly.

It is difficult to judge a cultivator's true age by his appearance.

There are octogenarian-looking losers in the Qi Refining Stage, whose actual age is much younger than the teenager-looking fasting or enlightenment-stage geniuses.

There is no order of precedence in learning, those who achieve success are respected.

When traveling outside, cultivators often rank people according to their strength.

When you meet a cultivator who is stronger than you, you must respectfully call him "senior".

However, for cultivators in this world, unless they have reached the sixth level or above, their lifespan will not be greatly increased, and the difference between their appearance and actual age will not be that big.

There are friendships between people of different ages, but they are not common in real life.

Marshal Wu has a high prestige in the kingdom, and everyone was not able to react for a while. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not appropriate for Li Yu to call them seniors, as it will give people the illusion of taking advantage of their age.

After all, although Li Yu is only fourteen or fifteen years old, his strength is there and he is destined not to be treated as an ordinary junior.

"Marshal Wu is right. Since you have reached the fifth level, you should be treated as an equal to us. It is not an exaggeration to call you brother."

Kong Ci Ling had a kind smile on her face and said slowly: "Besides, Wadley is your senior brother. According to seniority, you are almost the same as us."

"Marshal Wu and President Kong are right. We can just treat each other as equals."

Ernst and Liu Qiming also nodded in agreement.

"Cough cough..."

Prince Lu Xue's face suddenly turned red and he looked at everyone embarrassedly.

"In that case, then this king and Hongyu will each be friends separately. Li Yu will be this king's little brother from now on. Is that ok?"

Li Yu's forehead suddenly became black.

The prince's brother is the current emperor of the kingdom.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now."

Prince Lu Xue said anxiously, "My Lord, President Kong Ci Ling, and Li Yu, please wait here for a moment. The three of us will report this matter to my brother first. The final decision will be made by my brother."

He looked at Sima He again and ordered, "City Lord Sima, you must entertain the three of you well."

"I humbly obey my orders!"

Sima He responded.

"My Lord Prince, business is more important, so don't worry about the three of us."

Liu Qiming smiled.

"Li Yu, tell me how to transform into an element!"

Kong Ci Ling pulled Li Yu and whispered to him.
