Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Brothers Reunited

The receptionist heard this and flipped through the roster, finding Wu Daniu.

Li Jizhou glanced at it; the page of Wu Daniu was still empty.

“May I ask for your esteemed name?” the receptionist asked with a smile.

“Li Jizhou!”

“Li… Jizhou… Hmm~” The receptionist immediately wrote Li Jizhou’s name on Wu Daniu’s page, then suddenly looked up at Li Jizhou.

With a smile in his eyes, he said, “Li Daoyou, indeed noble and outstanding, I’ve longed to meet you!”

Li Jizhou was puzzled; had this person heard his name before?

Likewise, he cupped his hands: “Pleasure to meet you!”

“Please wait a moment, I’ll just finish and then take you to courtyard number 325 for a temporary stay; here is your room token!” The receptionist handed over a jade token and quickly wrote a one on Wu Daniu’s page, then hurried away.

A moment later, the receptionist finished his task and came over.

“Big brother! Big brother, you finally came!” Suddenly, a hearty voice rang out.

Li Jizhou turned around, seeing Wu Daniu’s noticeably plump figure and excited expression, he smiled.

Wu Daniu rushed over, ignored others, and gave a bear hug.

Seeing his body shaking with excitement, Li Jizhou’s smile grew wider.

“Big brother, quickly, let me introduce you to my wife and child!” Wu Daniu released Li Jizhou after a moment, ready to drag him off to meet his family.

“Wait, I brought a friend along.” Li Jizhou patted his shoulder and looked towards Lu Zhenhua, who was surrounded by several cultivators not far away.

“Big brother, you brought a friend? Thank you, thank you!” Wu Daniu suddenly remembered the family’s reward system for inviting guests, thinking Li Jizhou had called a friend to help him.

“Between brothers, no need for formality!” Li Jizhou waved his hand with a smile.

Seeing Lu Zhenhua couldn’t get away for a while, Wu Daniu calmed down, patiently waited, and chatted with Li Jizhou about everyday matters.

“Oh, by the way, big brother, I heard a few months ago that the Inverted Mountain seems to be sealed off; how did you get out?”

Li Jizhou didn’t go into detail, only saying he was lucky to run out before the city was sealed off, thanks to the friend.

“That’s good, that’s good, but since you’ve got out, don’t go back; it’s really not safe inside, stay here!” Wu Daniu said with relief.

Without waiting for Li Jizhou’s response, he transmitted with Spiritual Sense: “Big brother, I’m now at the Qi Cultivation Third Level, and my second brother detected having Spirit Root qualification, already being heavily used by the family, giving me the authority of a steward in the Law Enforcement Hall; you stay at the Yang family, I can somewhat look after you.”

Finishing the transmission, Wu Daniu spoke again: “Big brother, coincidentally, our Yang family started developing Spirit Plant cultivation a few years ago, and now it’s finally successful, urgently needing someone like you who majors in Wood Element Magical Power.”

Li Jizhou understood his meaning but immediately waved it off, “Big Bull, I appreciate your intentions, but let’s drop this; I’m used to freedom, the family isn’t for me, I plan to find a market to settle in.”

“Big brother!” Wu Daniu looked shocked.

“Big brother, you don’t know, previously at Inverted Mountain, there were few places using Spirit Stones, expenditures were bearable, but outside, it’s different from Inverted Mountain!

Especially in those markets of Immortal City, everywhere requires spending Spirit Stones, just renting a house costs a lot annually, you…”

“I’ve practiced the way of Talisman, now I’m barely a Middle Level Talisman Master, expenses are barely manageable, brother don’t worry!” Li Jizhou interrupted directly.

“What? Big brother, you… you can make talismans? You’ve become a Talisman Master!” Wu Daniu was shocked, his eyes wide with joy.

Li Jizhou smiled and nodded.

“Talisman Master? Steward Wu, your big brother is a Talisman Master?” The Yang family member who had just greeted Li Jizhou heard Wu Daniu and hurried over.

“Nonsense, if my big brother says so, then it must be.” Wu Daniu proudly declared.

“Yes, yes, I’ll change it immediately!” The receptionist said while flipping back to Wu Daniu’s page, adding two lines to the one under Li Jizhou’s name, changing it to three!

Inviting guests at the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation earns one point.

Having skills, especially craftsman related to pills, tools, talismans, formations, puppetry, earns three points.

“Haha, having a Talisman Master as a guest truly makes our Yang family shine; Big Bull, you’re quite impressive!” At this moment, another elder walked over with a smile, evidently attracted by the term Talisman Master.

“Old steward!” Wu Daniu hurriedly saluted the elder.

“Big brother, this is our Yang family’s old steward.” He then introduced Li Jizhou.

“Greetings, senior!” Li Jizhou cupped his hands.

“Old steward, this is my big brother, Li Jizhou!” Wu Daniu introduced to the old steward again.

“Oh~ So you’re Li Jizhou? Truly a handsome talent, haha, good, good, when did you start practicing the art of talismans?” The old steward looked at Li Jizhou unexpectedly.

“It’s been eight years!”

“Eight years! Have you now advanced to a Middle Level Talisman Master?”

“Fortunate to have advanced!”

“And already a Middle Level Talisman Master! My old eyes must be failing me, please forgive me, young friend.” The old steward’s attitude instantly turned respectful.

“Senior is jesting.” Li Jizhou nodded with a gentle smile.

“Since you’re a Middle Level Talisman Master, please wait a moment; the Third Elder specifically instructed me to report if a Middle Level Talisman Master arrives.” The old steward suddenly remembered the Third Elder’s instructions, apologized, and hurried away.

“Big brother, you’ve become a Middle Level Talisman Master so quickly? I remember Uncle Lin is only a high-level Talisman Master, and you’re still so young… Ah~ Haha, I knew you were no ordinary person!” Wu Daniu was shocked, then even more excited.

Li Jizhou looked calm, already guessing the Yang family’s Third Elder’s intentions.

——

At the Yang family’s ancestral shrine,

Third Elder Yang Yongxin had just finished adjusting his breath when the old steward hurriedly entered.

Half a year ago, when he led the Yang family’s people stationed at Inverted Mountain to retreat, he was targeted by robbers on the way, fought a battle, losing three juniors, and suffered some injury himself.

He had been recuperating during this time.

“A Middle Level Talisman Master visiting? Good, let’s go! I’ll personally meet them.” After listening to the old steward’s report, Yang Yongxin was delighted.

In the previous encounter with robbers, he suffered due to the lack of talismans, so now he wishes to cultivate a Talisman Master within the clan.

“What? Invited by Wu Daniu? Hey, this kid is capable?

Hmm, I recall his greatest connection wasn’t it the heavens’ proud daughter from the Golden Sun Sect?

Oh, yes, her father was a Talisman Master, but surely he’s already a high-level Talisman Master, right?

Then where did this kid meet a Middle Level Talisman Master?” Yang Yongxin wondered, thinking of Wu Daniu’s network background upon hearing he was the one who invited.

The old steward immediately replied: “It’s none other than the one Big Bull often talks about, Li Jizhou!”

“Li Jizhou? Who is he?”

“He’s… he’s rumored even our young lady doesn’t fancy…”

“What? The loose cultivator who has been staying at Inverted Mountain? Isn’t he without support? When did he become a Talisman Master? And already a Middle Level Talisman Master?” Yang Yongxin was shocked.

Half a year ago, before leaving the Inverted Mountain, Yang Yutong even mentioned visiting that boy.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Yongxin suddenly raised his head, seriously saying:

“Remember! Those were all rumors; Talisman Master Li and the young lady have never met, how could she not fancy him?

Warn all clan members, do not be disrespectful to Talisman Master Li.

If we can invite Talisman Master Li to serve as our Yang family’s consecrated Talisman Master, it will be a great achievement for all time!”
