Chapter 381: Confrontation with the Li Family Patriarch (Third Update)

After dinner, Sakura and the others, led by the Li family's servants, had already gone to the guest rooms that had been prepared for them.

Now, only Jerry and the Li Family Patriarch remained in the living room, sitting face-to-face and drinking tea.

"Mr. Carmen, thank you for taking care of Xiaolang during this time!"

The Li Family Patriarch spoke sincerely to Jerry.

This time, when Li Xiaolang returned, she noticed that both his magical power and skills had significantly improved. Clearly, what Xiaolang had described in his phone calls had not been exaggerated at all.

Jerry put down his green tea and smiled.

"Madam, you flatter me. It's not really taking care; we both benefited from the arrangement."

The Li Family Patriarch nodded, not continuing the topic. She understood that what Jerry said was true, but she still felt that her side had gained a great deal.

After all, the Taoist scriptures she had sent to Xiaolang were mostly basic texts, not particularly valuable. Any Taoist sect with a lineage could produce them.

The only truly valuable item was likely the Li family's cultivation method, the Distant Return Secret Canon, which had been improved by the other party into the Eternal Life Rite and returned to them.

Regardless of whether it could truly achieve eternal life as claimed, the faster cultivation efficiency and the improvements to the practitioner's body were already worth a fortune.

Moreover, Xiaolang had the opportunity to learn Western Magic, following in the footsteps of Kuro Reedo.

"I heard from my son that Mr. Carmen has a great interest in Taoist techniques and alchemical arts?"

"Indeed, Madam. You should know that the legendary Mage, Kuro Reedo, was so powerful because he combined Eastern and Western Magic.

I, though not as talented, also wish to see the higher realms and thus have a great interest in the Taoist techniques, especially the advanced techniques you mentioned earlier."

Jerry did not hide his intentions and directly revealed his thoughts.

Given the current situation, there was no need for pretense. He wanted to convey a simple message: you're right, I'm here for your advanced Taoist techniques and alchemical arts.

Since the Li family had extended the invitation, it was better to be straightforward, letting the other party know of his willingness to cooperate and quickly move to the next stage.

The Li Family Patriarch was not surprised by Jerry's response; instead, a smile appeared on her face.

"Since Mr. Carmen is interested, you can stay here for a while. You are free to browse all the Taoist scriptures of the Li family. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with me.

As for the alchemical arts, we have several elders who are very skilled and willing to guide you."

"Thank you very much!"

Jerry's face also lit up with a smile.

Although he knew that the Li family had invited him, and this trip would not be too difficult, he did not expect them to be so straightforward, granting him everything he wanted at once.

The next step was to see what conditions they would propose. He had a rough idea and was prepared, so it was not a problem.

However, what surprised Jerry was that after speaking, the Li Family Patriarch did not continue with the topic but instead started discussing Taoist techniques.

Jerry was more than willing to engage in such discussions. Given the Li Family Patriarch's level of expertise, he would undoubtedly benefit greatly from the exchange.

But as the conversation continued until nightfall, and they were about to part ways for the night, the Li Family Patriarch still had not mentioned any conditions, leaving Jerry somewhat puzzled.

The less the other party mentioned any conditions, the more Jerry felt that there must be a bigger plan at play. When the Li Family Patriarch suggested wrapping up the meeting, he took the initiative to ask:

"Head of the Family, you are willing to grant me access to all the Li Family Taoist Scriptures and teach me the Alchemical Art. I wonder if there are any conditions you have in mind?

For example, I can gift a few copies of Carmen's Book, just like I helped Berill, allowing some of the Li Family's less gifted children to learn Taoist Techniques."

"Mr. Carmen, you are too kind. You have consistently guided my child in Western Magic and even helped Berill gain the qualifications to learn Taoist Techniques. You are a friend of our Li Family.

Our Li Family is always generous to friends and does not require any conditions!"

The Li Family Patriarch spoke with a firm tone, seemingly genuine in her lack of conditions.

Hearing this, Jerry hesitated for a moment but finally made a Taoist bow to the Li Family Patriarch:

"Then I must thank you, Head of the Family!"

The Li Family Patriarch was powerful, and as a Taoist, she must have deep expertise in matters of the soul and spirit. Jerry couldn't rashly use Legilimency to read her thoughts and uncover her true intentions.

However, given her generous demeanor and sincere tone, he decided not to overthink it and assumed she truly considered him a friend.

After all, in the face of absolute power, everything else is trivial. If the Li Family had any ill intentions, he would naturally be able to handle it with his strength.

The Li Family Patriarch was indeed powerful in this world, but compared to Jerry, she still fell short.

"Mr. Carmen, you are too kind!"

The Li Family Patriarch looked at Jerry and responded naturally.

The Li Family was not a charity, and core Taoist Techniques and the Alchemical Art were not something they would easily impart to outsiders. Therefore, the Li Family Patriarch must have had her own agenda.

First, based on her observations of Li Xiaolang and today's meeting, Jerry's current strength was undoubtedly at the top tier in this world. Moreover, he was so young, with the potential to reach the heights of Kuro Reedo in the future.

Having such a powerful friend would provide the Li Family with a strong ally in case of any future issues.

Second, from her analysis, Jerry, being a foreign Mage, was someone who would always return more than what was given. This was evident from his interactions with Li Xiaolang.

Li Xiaolang had only contributed a portion of the basic Taoist Scriptures, and in return, Jerry had provided many times more Magic books, some of which contained extremely powerful Magic, making them highly valuable.

Furthermore, Jerry would document any new Magic he created and share it with Li Xiaolang and others, even developing a precious Magic book that allowed ordinary people to cast spells, which he gave to Berill.

For someone with such a character, the Li Family Patriarch understood that as long as you gave without expecting anything in return, he would always give more.

Lastly, with so many beautiful daughters, if Jerry stayed with the Li Family for a while, he might find one he likes, ensuring he would remain with the Li Family forever.

When that happens, there would be no need to discuss any conditions.

"What's going on? Such powerful Magic power!"

Just as the Li Family Patriarch and Jerry were about to conclude their meeting, a powerful surge of Magic power suddenly emanated from outside.
