Chapter 118 Shi Lei’s beating
“I guess the matter that Brother Shi came to discuss with me is related to Xiao An and Xiao Ning, right?”
Song Jie looked at Shi Lei with the sad face of an old father, probably guessing what Shi Lei wanted to say.
Shi Lei nodded and said: “Brother Song is indeed very smart. Brother, I can’t hide this little trick from Brother Song.
“Brother, let me be frank…”
Shi Lei coughed slightly and continued: “Now Xiao An and Xiao Ning have also tested to be born in the Huailing Root, and they are both Three Spiritual Roots.
“If they all have four spiritual roots, that’s it. They can open a shop and do business with us safely, and they can live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
“After a few years, I can find a good wife for them and have a few fat boys. That will be a good life.
“But they both have three spiritual roots. If they can be admitted into the five major sects, foundation building in the future is almost a certainty.
“If they are brave enough, it is not impossible to form a pill.
“Brother, I have almost reached the end of my life. If I am lucky in the future, I will build a foundation to support the sky.
“If you are unlucky and fail to build the foundation, it is possible that you will die.
“Since they both have three spiritual roots, I want to give them a chance to change their destiny. I don’t want Xiao An and Xiao Ning to follow my old path in the future.
“I wonder if Brother Song might understand my idea?”
Song Jie nodded slightly when he heard this.
He remembered what Shi Lei had said to him when he was drinking with Shi Lei before.
The thing I regret most in my life is that I didn’t really fight for my future when I was young.
With Shi Lei’s qualifications of three spiritual roots, there is actually a certain chance that he can join the five major sects.
But when Shi Lei was young, he was just a stupid boy from the countryside. He didn’t understand a lot of common sense about cultivating immortals, and there was no one to guide him.
Confused, he went to Lingbaoxuan and became a weapon-refining apprentice.
By the time he suddenly woke up, several years had passed.
At that time, he felt that he had wasted so many years and had no connections. He must have missed the five major sects.
So, before starting to flutter, he lay down directly.
In addition, at that time, Shi Lei met Li Caiwei and fell in love, so he had no intention of pursuing the avenue. All his thoughts were on Li Caiwei.
Fortunately, he succeeded in catching Li Caiwei in the end and did not lick her until she was left with nothing.
It can be considered as something gained.
Song Jie could probably understand a little bit about Shi Lei’s thoughts.
It was fine that he had no one to guide him, and he had come here in a state of confusion for so many years.
But now that we have this condition, we will definitely hope that our children will have a better future.
In addition, although Shi An and Shi Ning’s qualifications are not particularly good, they are not particularly bad either. If they work hard, they will still have the opportunity to achieve good results in the future.
Song Jie himself would probably have similar thoughts.
What a pity for the parents in the world…
With his mind spinning, Song Jie said, “I can understand Brother Shi’s thoughts. I wonder what Brother Shi is going to do next?”
Shi Lei pondered for a moment and considered his words.
“Brother Song, you also know that your sister-in-law is from the Li family. Although she is a collateral line, she can still borrow some connections from the Li family.
“I plan to go to the Li family to do some research and see if there is any chance for Xiao An to join the Qiyun Immortal Sect.”
Like the Danding Sect and Tianxiang Tower, the Qiyun Immortal Sect is also one of the five major sects in Yunmo Continent.
As the name suggests, Qi Yunxian Sect is famous for its weapon refining.
The Li family is also a family that mainly specializes in weapon refining. Over the years, many children in the family have worshiped the Qiyun Immortal Sect.
It is said that there are one or two who are doing quite well in the Qiyun Immortal Sect.
Therefore, Shi Lei planned to use the Li family’s connections to see if he could find some way to send Shi An into the Qiyun Immortal Sect.
Song Jie has been in Xinyuefang City for so many years, and he knows something about the situation of the three major families.
He nodded immediately and said, “What are the arrangements for Brother Shi on Xiao Ning’s side?”
Although Shi An and Shi Ning are both his godsons, Song Jie still prefers Shi Ning.
After all, Shi Ning has been refining alchemy with him since he was a child, so his relationship with him will definitely be deeper.
“Xiao Ning may have to rely on himself…”
Shi Lei sighed softly and continued: “I heard that the Alchemy Sect will recruit disciples in three months, and I want Xiao Ning to participate in the Alchemy Sect’s entrance trial.
“Xiao Ning has been learning alchemy from Brother Song since she was a child. Brother Song should know Xiao Ning’s situation better than me.
“Brother Song, do you think that with Xiao Ning’s level of alchemy, there is a chance to join the Alchemy Cauldron Sect?”
Song Jie thought for a moment.
“About a 50% chance.
“To be specific, it depends on what the Danding Sect’s assessment is for recruiting disciples this time…”
Regarding Shi Ning’s alchemy talent, Song Jie could only give an acceptable evaluation.
He felt that Shi Ning might be no worse off following him than going to the Alchemy Sect.
But he was only Shi Ning’s godfather, not his biological father, so he naturally had no right to interfere with Shi Lei’s decision.
When Shi Lei heard the assessment given by Song Jie, he nodded with some peace of mind and said: “The 50% chance is still quite good, and it’s worth fighting for.”
“You can indeed give it a try.” Song Jie nodded lightly.
Shi Lei hesitated for a moment and then said: “The Danding Sect is far away from here, and I may have to send Xiao An to the Qiyun Immortal Sect.
“If Xiaoning is allowed to go to the Alchemy Sect by herself, I would be a little worried.
“I wonder if Brother Song will be free to accompany Xiao Ning then?” Brother Song, don’t worry, I will be responsible for all the expenses on the journey.
“I will also give Brother Song some compensation at that time…”
Song Jie shook his head with a smile and said: “Brother Shi said this out of nowhere.
“Xiao Ning is my godson, isn’t it normal for me to send him to the Alchemy Sect?
“If Brother Shi is not free then, Xiao Ning can leave it to me.”
“Then I’d like to thank Brother Song here first!”
After the two exchanged polite words, Song Jie turned to say, “However, did Brother Shi inform Xiaoan and Xiaoning of this decision?” Are they willing to go to the Immortal Cultivation Sect? “
Shi Lei shook his head.
“I haven’t told them yet, but I will do some ideological work for them in the past two days.”
“Yes.” Song Jie nodded and said, “If they really don’t want to, there’s no need to force them.”
“I know this. Brother Song, don’t worry. I have a sense of discretion.”
Song Jie felt a little relieved when he saw that Shi Lei was still awake and showed no signs of being crazy.
There is nothing wrong with hoping that your child will succeed, but your child’s choice should also be respected.
Everything must be done in a controlled manner, too much is too little, and too much is easy to break.
……
After talking with Shi Lei, Song Jie turned around and went to Liu Zhicheng’s alchemy room.
“Zhicheng, are you ready to make elixirs?”
As soon as Song Jie walked in, he saw Liu Zhicheng piling firewood under the alchemy furnace, as if he was preparing to light the fire to make the elixir.
With Shi Lei, a first-level weapon refiner here, several alchemy rooms are equipped with an alchemy furnace as standard.
Although the store in the Alchemy Pavilion is not very large, the configuration of the alchemy room is quite good.
Of course, they are all ordinary alchemy furnaces.
When Liu Zhicheng saw Song Jie walking in, he quickly saluted him.
“Alchemist Song~”
Song Jie waved his hand and said, “Nothing’s wrong. I just saw that your mood was a little not right when we were eating just now, so I came to see you.”
“Thank you, Master Song, for your concern. I’ll be fine.
“I just saw that Xiao An and Xiao Ning were about to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, and I suddenly felt emotional.”
Liu Zhicheng forced a smile.
He also watched Shi An and Shi Ning grow up.
In the blink of an eye, the two little guys were about to start practicing, but he was still a mortal.
Liu Zhicheng was happy for Shi An and Shi Ning, but he also felt sad for himself.
Song Jie stepped forward and patted Liu Zhicheng on the shoulder and said, “Everyone has a path that suits them.
“Since you have spiritual roots, it means that God has given you this opportunity to seek immortality.
“It’s just that you haven’t found the path that suits you yet.
“When you find your way, that’s when you can shine.”
Song Jie comforted Liu Zhicheng by saying words that even he couldn’t believe.
After so many years, Liu Zhicheng still failed to embark on the path of cultivating immortality.
Even Song Jie felt that the other person might be like this for the rest of his life.
But he still had to comfort the other person with words to prevent the other person from being stuck in a corner alone, unable to get out, and doing something stupid.
Liu Zhicheng is a smart man and he knows Song Jie’s intentions.
He immediately smiled and said: “Don’t worry, Alchemist Song, I have already looked away and won’t do anything stupid.
“Even if I can’t cultivate immortality, I will be satisfied if I can refine alchemy with you and learn so much knowledge about alchemy.”
Song Jie nodded slightly.
“As long as you can figure it out…
“Actually, you can also consider getting married and having a child.
“With your Shanlinggen qualifications, your child’s qualifications must not be much worse.
“At least he will have the qualifications of three spiritual roots, and even two spiritual roots are possible.
“I think Qianyun is a very good candidate. You can consider my suggestion carefully.”
Qianyun is Liu Zhicheng’s childhood sweetheart, her full name is Tong Qianyun, and she is currently a monk at the fifth level of Qi refining stage.
As far as Song Jie knew, Tong Qianyun had a three-attribute spiritual root, which was pretty good compared to ordinary monks.
When Liu Zhicheng moved to Xinyuefang City, Tong Qianyun also moved here not long after.
After moving to Xinyuefang City, Tong Qianyun has been wandering around the Shiwanda Mountains all year round, making a living by hunting monsters.
Although the two do not live together, Tong Qianyun has taken great care of Liu Zhicheng over the years.
All this was seen by not only Song Jie, but also by everyone in the Alchemy Pavilion.
Based on the spiritual root attributes of Liu Zhicheng and Tong Qianyun, if they end up as husband and wife, the possibility of their offspring having twin spiritual roots is really high.
In the world of immortality, a monk with dual spiritual roots is already considered a genius.
Even within the five major sects, monks with dual spiritual roots can receive many preferential treatment.
That’s why Song Jie suggested that Liu Zhicheng consider marrying Tong Qianyun.
I also hope that after Liu Zhicheng has a child, he can focus more on the child and prevent him from having random thoughts.
It’s a pity that Liu Zhicheng has been unwilling to respond to Tong Qianyun’s feelings for so many years.
At this time, Liu Zhicheng couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he heard Song Jie mention this.
“Thank you, Master Song, for your suggestion. I will consider it.”
“Well, you can continue to make alchemy, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Seeing that Liu Zhicheng didn’t want to continue talking about this topic, Song Jie said nothing more.
After returning to his alchemy room, Song Jie continued today’s alchemy work.
……
Before I knew it, it was evening again.
After a busy day, Song Jie also finished his alchemy work for the day.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the store, Song Jie took Jin Jiao to Lingshan Pavilion.
“Today is the day to eat spiritual food once a week. How are you? Are you happy?”
Standing at the door of Lingshan Pavilion, Song Jie rubbed Jinjiao’s soft hair again.
“Ouch~”
Jin Jiao gave Song Jie a low-pitched response that he didn’t know what it meant.
“Master Song, you are here, please come in quickly!”
As soon as the waiter at Lingshan Pavilion saw Song Jie, he welcomed him in with a smile on his face.
As a VIP customer of Lingshan Pavilion, Song Jie did not need to make an appointment at all. The waiter took him to a separate private room.
“Purple Qi Donglai Cake, Tianxiang Honey Lotus, Black Turtle Immortal Marrow Soup…”
Without even looking at the menu, Song Jie named several dishes in succession.
After the waiter wrote them down one by one, he smiled enthusiastically and said, “Okay, Master Song, please wait a moment. The dishes will be served to you shortly.”
After the waiter left, not long after, another waiter brought two more plates of snacks.
This is a treatment exclusive to VIP customers.
After the waiter left, Song Jie divided the two plates of snacks in half, pushed one plate in front of Jin Jiao, and kept one plate for himself.
Then while eating snacks, I started to think.
“Unknowingly, Xiao An and Xiao Ning will also join the ranks of monks. Time flies so fast~” If these two boys join the five major sects, Brother Shi will have more places to spend spiritual stones in the future. . “
If you want to have a good future in the Immortal Cultivation Sect, it is not as simple as practicing hard. You also need to manage various connections.
As for the management of human connections, spiritual stones are naturally indispensable.
“It’s a pity that after I reach the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, I have to go to Yunmiao City to make preparations related to foundation building in advance.
“Otherwise, we can continue to expand the scale of the Alchemy Pavilion.”
Song Jie sighed softly.
In fact, as early as ten years ago, he could expand the operation scale of Danqi Pavilion.
But he has never done so because he is destined not to stay in Xinyuefang City for the rest of his life.
After the Danqi Pavilion expands its business scale, it will inevitably become a competitor of Baodan Tower and Lingbaoxuan.
When I was here, it was good to say that with my current alchemy skills, I was really not afraid of competing with the Baodan Tower.
But after he went to Yunmiao City, with Shi Lei’s ability, he would definitely not be able to defend such a big store. Sooner or later, Baodan Tower and Lingbaoxuan would eat everything up.
On the contrary, this small shop now cannot threaten Baodan Tower and Lingbaoxuan.
Even if Song Jie leaves the Alchemy Pavilion in the future, Shi Lei can still keep this store.
Therefore, Song Jie never mentioned to Shi Lei about expanding the scale of Dan Weapon Pavilion’s operations.
Shi Lei himself didn’t seem to have any thoughts in this regard. He was quite satisfied to be able to open this store and operate it for so many years.
“That’s all, everyone has their own way to go, just help a little within your ability.
“I should also think about whether there are any other ways to speed up the improvement of my cultivation.
“If we don’t seize the time to improve our cultivation, we will miss the Tongtian Secret Realm…”
