When the three of them rushed to Song Jie’s residence, what they saw was a beautiful scene.
In other words, it’s okay if it’s a jarring scene.
The three of them stood at a high place and saw a picture of Song Jie bathing through the open bathroom window.
“……”
The originally nervous mood suddenly turned 180 degrees, and each expression on his face became more exciting than the last.
For a moment, no one spoke.
After a long while, Lin Yunhe laughed slightly awkwardly.
“It seems our worries are unfounded.”
He was the one who suggested coming over to find out what was going on, so naturally he had to speak first to break the awkward atmosphere.
Wan Tiannan chuckled and said, “No matter what, Song Jie is indeed being targeted by Nie Yixiong.
“In the next period of time, we’d better keep an eye on this to prevent unexpected events.”
Li Weiting nodded in deep agreement.
“What Wan Lao said makes sense. This kid has become famous recently. We really can’t let him be killed in the city.
“Even if he dies, he must die outside the city.”
Lin Yunhe nodded and said: “We will work harder during this period and take turns paying attention to the movements here.
“In addition, it is best to find out what Nie Yixiong’s motive is for investigating Song Jie.”
The three of them also have their own things to do on weekdays, so they can’t always be distracted and pay attention here.
So the key is to figure out why Nie Yixiong wants to investigate Song Jie.
Li Weiting and Wan Tiannan also agreed.
So, after a brief discussion, the three of them left.
……
On the other side, Song Jie, who was taking a hot bath, suddenly felt that there was a draft in the bathroom.
I just feel chilly…
He immediately looked up.
“Damn it, I forgot to close the window, I said it felt windy.
“I took a bath with the window open for so long, wouldn’t everyone see me?”
Song Jie muttered a little suspiciously.
Then he thought that the neighborhood where he lived had good public security and most of the quality monks lived here.
There should be no one who is idle and bored, hiding in the dark and peeping.
Moreover, it has already been soaked in hot water. It will be somewhat troublesome to get up and close the window again.
Besides, I am a grown man, and I have nothing to look at.
Thinking of this, Song Jie immediately relaxed a lot and continued to enjoy the comfortable hot bath.
At the same time, taking advantage of this free time, I began to think about Nie Yixiong’s motivation for asking him to make elixirs.
“Nie Yixiong knows that I killed his brother, which means that other witnesses went to Black Wind Mountain to report me.
“But instead of seeking revenge from me, Nie Yixiong even fabricated a false murderer.
“What is his purpose in doing this?” Why should he cover up the truth of this matter? “
According to what Li Caiwei said today, the “murderer” hanging outside Xinyuefang City in the past two days was personally committed by Nie Yixiong.
Song Jie easily came to the conclusion that the false murderer was fabricated by Nie Yixiong.
“Rather than avenge the murder of my brother, I helped my enemy cover up the truth.
“It’s really incredible…”
Song Jie put one hand on the edge of the barrel and tapped the barrel gently with his fingers.
“If I were Nie Yixiong and faced the enemy who killed my own brother, I would not kill him immediately.
“Either this person is still valuable, or he is worried about something.”
Thinking of this, Song Jie began to think about what value he had…
“My use value seems to be nothing but alchemy.
“Furthermore, I have just been promoted to the first-level alchemy master, and my cultivation level is only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.
“The skills of alchemy are really ordinary.
“It should be of little use value…
“At least for a monk at the ninth level of Qi refining stage, it probably has little use value.”
Soon, Song Jie eliminated this possibility.
Song Jie continued to tap the edge of the barrel with his fingers, frowning in thought.
“Are he afraid of the three major families?” However, with his cultivation at the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he could kill me quickly and escape from the scene.
“But he didn’t do that. Instead, he left a pill recipe and asked me to refine the Chongmai Pill within ten days.”
Thinking of this, Song Jie’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped something important.
“Ten days……
“I probably know.”
In an instant, Song Jie’s mind exploded with information, as if he had an epiphany, and he figured out the whole thing.
“Suppose I am just an ordinary first-level alchemist, and my cultivation is only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.
“Let alone ten days, even twenty days may not be able to refine the Chongmai Dan, which is very difficult to refine.
“Nie Yixiong’s move is probably a test.
“I guess he probably thinks that my identity is not as simple as it seems.
“Anyone who investigates carefully should be able to find some doubts about me.
“A monk who had been unknown for ten years suddenly rose to prominence not long after he was fired from the Baodan Tower.
“If I didn’t have some chance, I’m afraid no one would believe it.
“Not long ago, the news spread that I gave up joining the Alchemy Sect.
“Perhaps Nie Yixiong was misled into thinking that I had a backer no less powerful than the Danding Sect.
“After all, there is almost no reason for an ordinary casual cultivator to give up joining the Alchemy Sect.”
Thinking of this, Song Jie couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.
Giving up joining the Alchemy Sect not only put him in crisis, but also gave him a way out.
“It’s true that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other…
“If I had joined the Alchemy Sect at that time, Nie Yixiong would not have dared to seek revenge from me.
“But it’s precisely because I gave up joining the Danding Sect that Nie Yixiong was a bit jealous.”
Song Jie suddenly felt that things like cause and effect were really mysterious.
“So, these ten days of alchemy refining are most likely to test me.
“In other words, he is testing the ‘power’ behind me.
“If I had not refined the Chongmai Pill within ten days, I would most likely have faced a real life-and-death crisis.
“And if I refine the Chongmai Pill within ten days, it means that I most likely have a backer who is not weaker than the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.”
After the idea came to mind, Song Jie suddenly felt relaxed.
Previously unable to figure out Nie Yixiong’s purpose for asking him to make elixirs, Song Jie always felt like something was pressing on his chest.
The pressure made him breathless.
Even if Nie Yixiong promised to refine the elixir within ten days, the grudge between the two would be wiped out.
But Song Jie still felt a little unsure and could only hope that Nie Yixiong was a person who kept his promise.
But the promise of a robbery cultivator can have some credibility.
After thinking about this matter at this time, Song Jie felt somewhat confident.
“Well, when the time comes to give Nie Yixiong the pulse elixir, he must show confidence and must not be timid.
“This can also deepen the other party’s misunderstanding and make the other party more afraid to attack me.”
I felt the temperature of the hot water in the bucket, only a little warmth remained.
If you continue to soak, the water will probably become colder.
“That’s it for tonight’s hot bath, it’s almost time to go back to the room and practice Changchun Gong.
“In the next few days, we will work hard to improve our proficiency and obtain skill points.
“Then raise the proficiency of Chongmai Dan to a proficient level, and then refine the Chongmai Dan.
“Finally, give the Chongmai Pill to Nie Yixiong, and this matter will come to a successful conclusion.”
After regaining hope for life, Song Jie immediately stood up, wiped his wet body, and put on dry clothes.
“Just keep the water you took in the bath to rinse the cesspool tomorrow.
“Saving water is everyone’s responsibility.”
Song Jie smiled slightly and then went back to the room to start tonight’s practice…
