When Song Jie heard someone calling him, he immediately turned around and looked
I saw a middle-aged man walking towards me.
Looking at the appearance of the middle-aged man, Song Jie felt vaguely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
But for a while, I just couldn’t remember who the other party was.
Before Song Jie could ask, the middle-aged man took the lead and said, “It is indeed you, I didn’t expect to see you here.
“After so many years, you actually don’t seem to have changed much.”
Looking at Song Jie’s still young appearance, a look of jealousy suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man’s face.
Listening to the other party’s sour tone and looking at the jealous look, Song Jie immediately thought of who this person was.
Zhang Wanquan.
He was once an alchemist in the Baodan Pavilion, but later joined the Alchemy Sect through the Popular Alchemy Competition.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the other party has turned into a middle-aged uncle, looking a little bit fatter.
Song Jie almost didn’t recognize it.
Although he recognized the other party, Song Jie still pretended to be confused and asked: “Zhang Wanquan?”
“It’s me.” Zhang Wanquan snorted coldly and said, “What are you doing here?” Could it be that you regretted giving up joining the Alchemy Sect, and now you want to participate in the entry trial?
“If this is the case, I advise you to give up this plan as soon as possible.
“This time our sect is recruiting external disciples, and we will only accept those under the age of twenty. At your age, you are not even qualified to participate in the trial.
“Also, let me tell you some good news. I am now an outer disciple of the Alchemy Sect.
“It’s two completely different identities from who I used to be.”
Seeing Zhang Wanquan raising his chin slightly and looking complacent, Song Jie always found it a little funny.
Even though more than ten years have passed, this guy still has the same character and has not changed at all.
It seems that this guy’s life has not been too smooth these years.
This outer disciple’s identity probably took him a lot of effort to obtain, so he couldn’t help but start showing off as soon as he saw him.
A truly capable person doesn’t even bother to show off his or her assets; others help him to show off.
Song Jie sneered inwardly, but on the surface he still deliberately showed a look of surprise and a hint of envy.
“I didn’t expect that Fellow Daoist Zhang would be promoted to an outer disciple of the Alchemy Sect in just a few short years. It’s really impressive.
“I have heard from others before that it is quite difficult for the outer disciples of the five major sects to be promoted.
“It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang has been prospering in the Alchemy Sect these years.”
When facing an idiot, Song Jie’s usual approach is to identify with the other person, praise the other person, let the other person indulge in his own world, and finally become a big idiot.
Sure enough, after hearing Song Jie’s complimentary words, Zhang Wanquan’s lips raised even higher, with the word “satisfaction” written all over his face.
He said without humility: “That’s natural. No matter what, it will definitely be better than if you were a casual cultivator outside.”
“That’s what Fellow Daoist Zhang said.”
Song Jie deliberately looked ashamed.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanquan’s inner vanity was further satisfied.
Judging from Song Jie’s performance, it seems that his life has not been very good these years.
This made Zhang Wanquan feel a lot more balanced. Although he was only doing so well in the Alchemy Sect, when he thought that Song Jie was doing worse than him, he immediately became more open-minded.
He immediately asked: “By the way, you haven’t said yet, what are you going to do in Danhua Town?” This place is not close to Xinyuefang City. You came all the way from there, you don’t really want to Participate in the introductory trial of the Alchemy Sect, right? “
“Yes.” Song Jie nodded and said, “To be fair to fellow Taoist Zhang, I did come here for the entrance trial of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.
“But it’s not me who will take part in the entry trial, but my godson.”
“Godson?”
Zhang Wanquan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young man standing behind Song Jie.
He noticed the young man just now, but he thought he was Song Jie’s servant.
What he didn’t expect was that Song Jie, a good-for-nothing, actually recognized a godson.
Zhang Wanquan sneered inwardly and said, “Then I’ll wish you good luck.
“It’s a pity that the sect leader’s direct disciple, Senior Sister Mu, is in charge of our sect’s recruitment of external disciples this time.
“Otherwise, I can help you find a back door.”
Song Jie immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Wanquan’s words.
It’s not that I’m incompetent, it’s that the person in charge of recruiting disciples this time has a too high status and can’t help you through the back door.
Song Jie didn’t take Zhang Wanquan’s words to heart at all.
He didn’t expect the other party to do anything to help him from the beginning.
After all, Zhang Wanquan is just an ordinary outer disciple, so he has no ability.
From the way that the other party’s villain is successful, it can be seen that the other party is not doing very well in the Alchemy Sect.
Song Jie smiled in his heart and said, “Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhang, for your blessing.
“It’s getting dark now, and we haven’t found a place to stay yet. Let’s catch up with fellow Taoist Zhang again when we have free time in two days.”
Zhang Wanquan’s eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
“Are you looking for a place to live?”
“Yes.”
“I can recommend a good place for you here…
“It’s just that you should have seen the situation in the past few days. The price of accommodation is not too cheap.”
When Song Jie heard this, he immediately reacted.
Zhang Wanquan wanted to earn his spiritual stones.
However, Song Jie really needed to find a place to live as soon as possible, so he did not refuse Zhang Wanquan.
As long as the price of the hotel is not too expensive, he can accept it.
Just when Song Jie was about to ask Zhang Wanquan to take him to have a look, he saw a woman walking straight towards him out of the corner of his eye.
“Fellow Daoist Song, it is indeed you~”
Song Jie and Zhang Wanquan heard the sound and turned to look to the side almost at the same time.
“Senior Sister Mu!”
When Zhang Wanquan saw the person coming, he quickly lowered his head and saluted him.
Song Jie, on the other hand, looked at the woman standing in front of him in surprise.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: “Fellow Taoist Mu, long time no see~”
The person who came was none other than Mu Lingxuan, the direct disciple of the Alchemy Sect master mentioned by Zhang Wanquan just now.
It was also Mu Lingxuan who met Song Jie once at Shiwandashan.
After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Mu Lingxuan still looks like she is in her twenties. Compared with then, her appearance has not changed much.
His temperament has changed slightly, and he is much more mature than he was more than ten years ago.
Invisibly, it seemed to exude a hint of majesty.
After Mu Lingxuan gently nodded to Zhang Wanquan, she turned to Song Jie and said with a smile: “We haven’t seen you for many years, but Taoist friend Song remains as charming as ever.”
“Fellow Daoist Mu has changed a lot and has become more beautiful.”
Mu Lingxuan’s pretty face blushed slightly when she heard Song Jie’s compliment.
Zhang Wanquan, on the other hand, had a look of disbelief on his face.
He never imagined that Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan knew each other.
That was the greatest alchemy prodigy in the history of the Alchemy Sect, a direct disciple of the Alchemy Sect’s master, and the most powerful competitor for the next Alchemy Sect master, Mu Lingxuan.
There are countless disciples of the Alchemy Sect who are eager to have a few words with Mu Lingxuan.
Even just seeing Mu Lingxuan made him so excited that he couldn’t contain himself.
To most of the disciples of the Alchemy Sect, Mu Lingxuan is the real fairy.
It is an existence that is beyond their reach.
Talent, appearance, status…all were far beyond those of ordinary Alchemy Sect disciples.
Even Lin Youtian, the direct disciple of the sect elder, was trembling with fear when facing Mu Lingxuan.
But for such a talented person, Song Jie could talk and laugh with him, and they seemed to have known each other for a long time.
When he thought that he had shown off his status as an outer disciple in front of Song Jie just now, Zhang Wanquan felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped.
Emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred grew uncontrollably in his heart.
Why is it that Song Jie, a casual cultivator, can chat and laugh with Senior Sister Mu, but I, an outer disciple of the Alchemy Sect, cannot be treated seriously by Senior Sister Mu…
Various thoughts of hatred and injustice arose in Zhang Wanquan’s heart.
On the other side, after Mu Lingxuan exchanged a few words with Song Jie, she lowered her head and looked at Jin Jiao who was following Song Jie.
“Little guy, do you still remember me? We meet again~”
Jin Jiao tilted his neck and looked at Mu Lingxuan with a cute expression on his face, as if he was thinking about when he had seen her before.
After living with Song Jie for more than ten years, Jinjiao, a luck beast, can already understand human speech, but he can’t speak human speech yet.
It looked at Mu Lingxuan and felt vaguely familiar, but its childhood memories had become very blurry.
I couldn’t remember who the other party was.
However, from the conversation between Mu Lingxuan and Song Jie, Jin Jiao had already deduced that the other party should have seen him when he was very young.
So, out of politeness, Jin Jiao opened his mouth and said hello to Mu Lingxuan.
“Ouch~”
Looking at Jin Jiao’s cute look, two small dimples immediately appeared on Mu Lingxuan’s face.
Smiling, he asked Song Jie: “Fellow Daoist Song, what did you name this unicorn alchemy beast?”
What? Unicorn beast?
Zhang Wanquan on the side was immediately shocked when he heard this.
As an outer disciple of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, Zhang Wanquan had naturally heard of the Unicorn Alchemy Beast.
This is the most popular luck beast among alchemists, and it is also the luck beast that countless alchemists dream of.
Even in the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, as far as Zhang Wanquan knew, there were only two unicorn alchemy beasts in total.
One belongs to the master of the Alchemy Sect, and the other belongs to the great elder of the Alchemy Sect.
As an outer disciple of Zhang Wanquan, he naturally had no chance to get close to the sect master and great elder of the Alchemy Sect.
Not to mention seeing the unicorn alchemy beast they raised.
After joining the sect for more than ten years, he has not even seen the shadow of the Unicorn Alchemy Beast.
He never thought that Song Jie, whom he had always looked down upon, would actually raise a rare unicorn beast.
How could this prevent him from being shocked.
Looking at the unicorn alchemy beast squatting at Song Jie’s feet, Zhang Wanquan felt extremely uneasy in his heart.
If Mu Lingxuan hadn’t been standing in front of him, jealousy would have turned him beyond recognition.
Suddenly, Zhang Wanquan felt the unevenness of the world and began to complain in his heart about the unfairness of heaven.
Why did Song Jie come from Baodan Tower? Not only did Song Jie get to know Mu Lingxuan, he also owned a unicorn pill beast.
And he worked hard and worked as Lin Youtian’s lackey for more than ten years before he managed to become an outer disciple.
Why can’t he switch seats with Song Jie? Why? …
Naturally, Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan didn’t know about Zhang Wanquan’s wonderful inner drama, and they had no interest in trying to figure it out.
Song Jie smiled slightly and said, “It’s called Golden Horn.”
“Golden Horn.” Mu Lingxuan thought about the name for a moment, then covered her mouth and said with a smile: “This name given by fellow Taoist Song can be said to be the most simple of the great ways.”
Song Jie laughed and said, “Why did fellow Taoist Mu come to Danhua Town?”
“Danhua Town is a town established by the Danding Sect. As a disciple of the Danding Sect, isn’t it normal for me to appear here?”
Mu Lingxuan blinked her smart eyes and asked, “Fellow Taoist Song, are you here to participate in the ‘Elixir Forum’ held by our sect?”
“Elixir Discussion Conference?”
Song Jie looked confused.
“It turns out that Fellow Daoist Song doesn’t know about this…” Mu Lingxuan smiled and said: “But it doesn’t matter. Since Fellow Daoist Song is here, you can take the opportunity to attend the ‘Elixir Discussion Conference’ held by our sect.
“It just so happens that fellow Daoist Huangfu is just like this, you can have a good exchange.”
“Fellow Taoist Huangfu is here too?”
Song Jie looked surprised.
Apart from Huangfu God, who else could they know together, Taoist friend Huangfu?
Huangfu Shen, who had not been seen for more than ten years, actually came to the Danding Sect to join in the fun.
“Yes~” Mu Lingxuan nodded and said, “I just received the message from Taoist friend Huangfu, so I went down the mountain to Danhua Town and took him to the guest’s residence to check in.
“Just now, I was talking about Fellow Daoist Song with Fellow Daoist Huangfu, and I was originally sorry that Fellow Daoist Song didn’t come.
“I never expected that I would meet fellow Taoist Song by chance on the way back to the sect.”
Song Jie suddenly said: “I see. I didn’t expect that fellow Taoist Huangfu would be here too. It just so happens that I have something to ask him about.”
“Then follow me, fellow Taoist Song, and I will take you to the guest’s residence to check in.”
“Then I’ll trouble Taoist friend Mu.”
Immediately, Song Jie took Shi Ning and Jin Jiao and followed Mu Lingxuan towards the residence of the guests of the Danding Sect.
Zhang Wanquan was left alone and messy in the wind.
Looking at Song Jie’s retreating figure, Zhang Wanquan suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart.
The whole person was like a deflated rubber ball, without any energy at all.
He couldn’t help but start to doubt himself, thinking about what his efforts over the years were for. Is it worth all the effort…
When he first met Song Jie, he felt that he and Song Jie were no longer in the same circle.
Only now did I realize that he and Song Jie were indeed not from the same circle.
He didn’t know how Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan got acquainted, but no matter what, he knew that Song Jie was already someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
……
On the other side, Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan walked side by side on the streets of Danhua Town.
Mu Lingxuan turned her head and glanced at Shi Ning who was following Song Jie.
He opened his mouth and asked: “Fellow Daoist Song, may I ask who this is…”
