But the good thing is that although the newcomers don’t know anything, they are at least humble and eager to learn, and their attitude is quite good.
"It's clear they're eager to shed their old identities and find a new path forward," Leng Lu told Ning Zhishui. "So even though it's a bit strenuous, they're all quite resilient. No one wants to give up halfway."
"Your life is your own, and they are responsible for themselves," said Ning Zhishui.
However, Leng Lu said something when he reported that surprised Ning Zhishui.
"By the way, this afternoon a male cultivator came to our shop and offered to work for us. He even said he could help introduce us to other businesses... Do you know him?"
"What's his name?"
"Zhong Qiaonan."
Ning Zhishui fell silent after hearing this.
"Is this person incompetent? I didn't agree to him on the spot and said I would give him an answer tomorrow." Leng Lu said.
Zhong Qiaonan is not good at doing things?
Of course not.
It can even be said that his personal abilities are very outstanding and he is naturally suited to dealing with anyone.
In his previous life, there was nothing I gave him that he couldn't handle. For some things, I would give him 30% instructions, but he would think of 100%. Even Hua Jiaqing couldn't match his thoroughness.
But Ning Zhishui had clearly thought that after helping his sister in this life, he would no longer have any deep connection with him, so even though he knew it was a good time to recruit him, Ning Zhishui still gave up.
But she didn't expect that even though she was planning to keep a distance and no longer have a superior-subordinate relationship like in her previous life, he still came over under such circumstances!
Is this fate?
She thought about it for a moment, then told Leng Lu, "Tell him that the shop is no longer accepting people."
"Okay, I understand." Leng Lu felt something was strange, but was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
On this day, President Meng finally received good news.
After Ning Zhishui finished refining the weapon that day, he looked at the sound transmission talisman and heard the very young voice of President Meng.
"Haha, Mr. Ning, I finally refined a pill with immortal patterns! Are you free? If it's convenient, please come to the alchemy meeting for a chat."
Ning Zhishui was not surprised. After they parted in the alchemy room that day, Ning Zhishui knew that President Meng would definitely make a breakthrough soon.
Moreover, his breakthrough is the result of long-term accumulation. Although it comes a little late, it will be smooth sailing later.
At this time, he had already refined the first batch of pills with fairy patterns, and it would not be long before the second and third batches.
Ning Zhishui put away the newly refined magic weapon and went to the alchemy meeting.
Things here will be over in the next few days, and then Ning Zhishui will leave Luoyu City and return to Xianlai Sect.
The weapon refining competition is approaching, and Ning Zhishui has to return to the sect. Although she has been in Luoyu City these days, she has never given up on weapon refining.
Don’t embarrass the master!
Come to think of it, she was also very tired. Other weapon masters had been working hard to refine weapons these days, and they would be relieved after the competition, and would have a lot of time to relax.
She is in a bad situation. After the weapon refining competition, there will be the alchemist's fairy grass meeting in a few months. She really has no time to spare.
When he arrived at the Danhui, Ning Zhishui saw President Meng with a rosy face.
"Congratulations, President Meng."
"Thank you very much. Come and sit down and try my spiritual tea." President Meng poured her the tea himself, then took out his bottle of pills and handed it to Ning Zhishui, "Take a look and see how it goes."
The pill was still the Heart Purification Pill, but it was no longer the same shape as the last time it failed. This time, the pill was round and plump, with golden lines on it that looked like leaf veins, making it look golden.
That pattern is the immortal pattern, and it is also what all alchemists want to obtain the most.
"It's perfect. Keep it as a souvenir." Ning Zhishui returned it with a smile after reading it.
Almost all alchemists will keep the first batch of Immortal Pattern Pills as a collection because it has a different meaning.
Before that, the most memorable thing was the first batch of pills that I successfully refined when I was still a novice.
"That's what I was planning too." President Meng sighed. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly. You don't know, but I have an old friend who is also on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Level, but like me, he's also missing something. He's waited even longer than I did."
In order to refine the immortal pattern, he worked hard for nearly a hundred years, and the other party took even longer.
If Ning Zhishui hadn't reminded me that day, I might have ended up like my old friend.
"By the way, I told him your method after I refined the fairy pattern, but it didn't work when he tried it." President Meng smiled bitterly.
President Meng became successful because of the final chapter of Dandao, but the same chapter failed to work for his good friend.
Ning Zhishui nodded, not surprised. "Everyone's situation is different. No single method is suitable for everyone."
"I think so too." President Meng didn't mention his friend again. He just said to Ning Zhishui, "By the way, I plan to do some retreat for the next period of time. I will come out when I reach the Heavenly Level. But by then, I may have to leave Luoyu City immediately and go to the headquarters."
He has only refined one Danwen now, and has not yet reached the heavenly level standard.
But he was very confident in himself. After the first time, the rest would be a natural process and shouldn't take too much time.
"So, I've only been the vice president for a few days and I have to be promoted to the president?" Ning Zhishui had a strange look on his face.
President Meng smiled and said, "It's better to get used to it sooner rather than later. This day is destined to come anyway."
"Okay, but there doesn't need to be any ceremony to become the president, right? I might not be in the city by then." Ning Zhishui thought of something.
She didn't know how many days it would take for President Meng to become a Heavenly Grade Alchemist. If it was faster, she would still be in the city by then.
But if he had waited for ten days or half a month, Ning Zhishui would have left long ago.
Chairman Meng considered it for a moment, then made the final decision.
"Then there's no need to wait, just pass it on now."
Ning Zhishui: Ah?
It seemed like she participated in what happened next, but it also seemed like she didn't.
She just stood in front of everyone with President Meng. President Meng explained the matter himself, then gave Ning Zhishui the president's robe and identity token in public, and reported the matter to the headquarters.
So... Ning Zhishui became the president of the Alchemy Association in Luoyu City.
Holding the red robe and the token in his hands, Ning Zhishui smiled in response to the congratulations from the crowd below.
"Thank you all, we will work together in the future."
While speaking, he accidentally met someone's gaze, and that person's eyes flickered and looked away first.
It’s Jiao Jing.
"In addition, Jiao Jing will be the vice president and will be responsible for the specific affairs of the Alchemy Association from now on."
Everyone congratulated Jiao Jing again.
Jiao Jing accepted it with a smile, which was just right, and she was still as friendly and easy-going as usual.
The very hasty ceremony was completed, but everyone understood, after all, President Meng was anxious to go into seclusion.
Nothing is more important than becoming a heavenly-level alchemist!
