Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Men are like clothes, they need to be changed when necessary...
Jiang Yan and a few Sirius Guards were dealing with the Soul-Hunting Grass.
Gu Jingyun introduced the details of the sect competition to him.
Jiang Yan listened while doing his work.
The sect competition is a rare grand event in the world of cultivation, which takes place once every hundred years.
Not only the big sects will definitely participate, but even many small sects that don’t usually have much fame will come to join in the fun and see the world.
What if you become famous overnight?
From then on, the sect no longer had to worry about not being able to recruit disciples.
However, there are requirements for the contestants.
The requirements are to be over 20 years old and under 200 years old, and the minimum realm requirement is foundation building, with no upper limit.
Each sect selects three outstanding disciples to represent the competition. A draw is held to decide the contestants, and the winners advance to the next round.
The reason why the competition was held in the Sword Sect was because the Sword Sect was the first place in the previous session and is the number one sect in the world.
Gu Jingyun emphasized slowly: "And the one who beat all the other sects and won first place is me."
Several Sirius Guards who were helping to process the herbs secretly groaned in their hearts.
What is the difference between the young master now and a peacock spreading its tail?
"……etc!"
While pounding the medicine with a pestle and mortar, Jiang Yan asked in confusion, "Are we going to compete directly regardless of the school? Wouldn't some sects be at a great disadvantage?"
Gu Jingyun said: "That's true, but they don't rely on this kind of martial arts ranking to make a living, so they won't take it too seriously."
"For example, in Qingfeng Valley, all the people there are medical practitioners, so they don't have an advantage in a head-on confrontation in the ring."
Gu Jingyun said: "But they became famous because of their Chinese medical skills. Even if they don't participate in the competition, or even come in last, there are still many people who come to Qingfeng Valley to ask them to treat their illnesses and save lives."
Jiang Yan nodded: "Then where do they rank?"
"Thirty-two." Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "Qingfeng Valley is good at medicine and even better at poison. For cultivators like medical practitioners, we do not prohibit the use of defensive magic tools."
Therefore, the people from Qingfeng Valley only need to stand in the protective shield and poison the person in time. On the contrary, another person is needed to break the defense of the Qingfeng Valley disciples in time and throw the opponent off the stage in the poison gas and poisonous insects.
After hearing this, Jiang Yan fell silent.
According to Gu Jingyun, there are usually nearly a hundred sects participating in each session.
Last time, the Hehuan Sect was third from the bottom.
Although everyone is a little lazy and everyone is a salted fish, but...
Not really!!
"Hehuan Sect, why..." Jiang Yan hesitated to speak.
Why did it become the last one?
Before Jiang Yan joined the Hehuan Sect, Gu Jingyun didn't pay much attention to Xizhou and generally didn't pay much attention to this kind of sect.
He frowned and recalled.
"One of the three disciples from the previous session encountered Qingfeng Valley during the drawing of lots and was poisoned and passed out."
"The second one hadn't participated yet, but he had been drinking and partying with others the night before... and didn't have the energy to compete. He probably didn't expect the people before him to lose so quickly, so when it was his turn, he simply gave up."
"The third one..."
Gu Jingyun really couldn't remember and pondered for a long time.
The Sirius Guard was very considerate and took the initiative to raise his hand to gossip:
"Young Master, that disciple was in a long-distance relationship with someone using a sound transmission talisman. He wanted to take the opportunity to meet in person, but he found out that the other person was almost 200 years old but lied to him that he was 20 years old. He had an unshaven beard and a pot belly, and he had many concubines at home. He was a complete emotional liar."
"He cried for a whole day and night, and finally secretly found someone to buy medicine for him. When he drew the lottery, he deliberately tampered with it and was put in the same line as the liar."
Jiang Yan was pounding the medicine again and again, trying to pound the branches and leaves into a fine paste.
He pricked up his ears unconsciously and listened so intently that he even forgot to pound the pestle and mortar in his hands.
The speed of pounding the medicine is getting slower and slower.
In the end, he simply stuffed the food into the hands of the young master beside him, habitually reached out to take the melon seeds on the table, and listened to the gossip attentively.
"..." Gu Jingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He smiled and shook his head, then went to beat the medicine for Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan asked the Wolf Guard: "What kind of medicine did he buy? Poison?"
The Wolf Guard nodded seriously: "It's a highly poisonous medicine!"
Jiang Yan also nodded seriously.
Very reasonable.
You can be cheated in love, but you can’t be cheated in your career.
Poisoning people and stepping on scammers to rise up the ranks is worth it. Hesitation for a second is disrespectful to the cause.
"Then, what kind of poison did he buy?" Jiang Yan asked.
The eyes of the Heavenly Wolf Guard were full of solemnity: "This medicine will make a man unable to get an erection from now on."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Sirius Guard: "I heard that after he returned home, the eighteen concubines heard about this and fled, some fled, some escaped, some climbed over the wall and slipped away at night. No one was willing to stay."
"Even his wife was overjoyed, saying she had finally found the perfect reason to divorce him, and she wanted to dump him and find another man."
Everyone: “…………”
His character is really bad.
Gu Jingyun finally found a vague impression.
That disciple drugged the man and made him impotent, but no one noticed. They just thought it was a common drug that made him faint...
Only after the incident became a big deal did he hear about it.
Jiang Yan thought for a moment and said, "That person is wrong. He shouldn't have lied about his feelings."
Sirius Guard: "Besides, he is obviously a 200-year-old man, but he still pretends to be a 20-year-old young man. Bah, shameless."
Jiang Yan rarely agreed and said something harsh: "That's right, you can tell at first glance that he's not a good person!"
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Wait, it seems, it seems, that he has also disguised his age.
In the impression.
Not long after he and Jiang Yan first met, the two went shopping in town, and he accompanied Jiang Yan to buy a magic wand.
Ayan asked him how old he was.
He once answered: [Twenty-one years old.]
Actually it was one hundred and twenty-one. Two years later, it is now one hundred and twenty-three.
…
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Gu Jingyun's forehead.
Oops, is it too late to be honest now?
Although Ayan must have known his real age a long time ago, there is a big difference between his own confession and what he heard from others.
Gu Jingyun dismissed the Sirius Guards, put the medicine mortar aside, and held Jiang Yan's hand.
He said seriously: "Ayan, my brother has been hiding something from you for a long time."
Jiang Yan couldn't help but frown: "? Why do you have to be so serious?"
Gu Jingyun: "About my age."
Jiang Yan suddenly felt much more relaxed, and his tense jaw and shoulders relaxed.
"Oh, brother, are you saying... that you are actually a 123-year-old old man? I knew that a long time ago." Jiang Yan deliberately teased.
Gu Jingyun: “…”
Old, old man?!
The young master seemed to have suffered a blow and his face was stiff.
Jiang Yan quickly comforted her: "It's okay, my situation is different from that disciple's. I haven't been deceived by you, and I won't fall in love with you."
Gu Jingyun: “…………”
How about you think about it again?
The young master seemed to have suffered a greater blow and was even more frustrated. His face turned gray and there was no light in his eyes.
Jiang Yan was at a loss: "Brother, what's wrong with you?!"
Gu Jingyun said slowly: "Because Ayan called me 'old', I felt a little sad."
"Then I say..."
"Don't apologize." Gu Jingyun said, "If you are willing to give me a hug, I will forgive you."
Hug it.
What a big deal!
Jiang Yan curled himself up into a ball and squeezed into Gu Jingyun's arms.
He put his arms around the man's waist, stood on tiptoe, tilted his face up, and pressed his soft cheek against the man's jaw, rubbing it gently.
Gu Jingyun felt like his heart was about to melt.
"Hold me tight, you can't be angry anymore." Jiang Yan reminded.
Gu Jingyun's eyes softened and he said "hmm" softly, but he didn't have time to say the second word.
Jiang Yan quickly let him go.
"You're just listening to gossip. I haven't finished making my medicine yet!"
Jiang Yan hurriedly picked up the mortar and pounded it wildly, then pulled out his magic wand and, while pounding the medicine, he quickly ran to the crucible in the corner.
The magic wand was inserted into the crucible and stirred slowly in a clockwise direction. Bubbles of uniform size gradually emerged from the pot.
“…It almost went too far.”
Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Jingyun sighed deeply, looking quite regretful.
I really want to hold it forever and never let go.
**
The Hehuan Sect quickly determined the other two disciples who would go to participate in the competition.
One of them had a strange face, but the other one looked very familiar to Jiang Yan.
It was Pang Yunhu.
"So Junior Brother Pang is going too." Jiang Yan said.
Pang Yunhu is still building his foundation after two years, but the Hehuan Sect does not seek rankings, nor does it look at the realm of cultivation. Some people are still unwilling to go and do not want to travel far. Even if they are given a place, they still refuse.
Pang Yunhu was forced to go out.
Pang Yunhu said with a sad face: "Master asked me to go out and relax, see the world, don't... don't hang myself on a tree."
Jiang Yan was puzzled: "What happened to Junior Brother?
Pang Yunhu: "Fan Yang broke up with me!!"
Jiang Yan: “…”
Senior brother never mentioned this.
As soon as Pang Yunhu saw Jiang Yan's expression, he knew what he didn't know.
Another guess is that almost everyone on his side knows that he has broken up, but Fan Yang is still laughing every day and doesn't seem to care at all.
Suddenly, he was overwhelmed with sadness and burst into tears.
"I just wanted to marry him and asked him if he was willing. But he said... I can date you, but I can't get married." Pang Yunhu really wanted to cry.
Jiang Yan looked at him sympathetically.
Two years ago, when Pang Yunhu and Fan Yang just got together, he knew that his senior brother had no idea about them getting married.
I didn’t expect that two years of dating couldn’t change my senior brother’s mind.
A tall and strong man was wiping his tears and crying. The scene was really unbearable to watch.
Jiang Yan consoled him, "Why don't you date for a few more years? Maybe after a few years, Senior Brother will change his mind."
Pang Yunhu: "He said that men are like clothes and should be changed when necessary. Now he refuses to see me!"
Jiang Yan: “…”
Others cannot interfere in matters of the heart.
Jiang Yan didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only squat beside him and watch him cry. Occasionally, he would hand him a handkerchief or something like that, just to keep him company.
Fortunately, Pang Yunhu cried for a long time, wiped his tears, stood up on his own, and looked like he was going to take revenge.
"I want revenge!"
Jiang Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Is it possible that my senior brother will also face the fate of being drugged and becoming impotent?
"Absolutely not!" Jiang Yan said earnestly: "Let's talk it over nicely. Poisoning is not an option!"
Pang Yunhu was surprised: "Who said to poison me?"
Jiang Yan probed: "Then how do you plan to take revenge?"
Pang Yunhu clenched his fists and said angrily, "I'm going to participate in the sect competition and go on blind dates! Talk to ten or eight of them and let Fan Yang know how to write the word regret."
Jiang Yan: “…”
Jiang Yan: “???”
Pang Yunhu left in a heroic and high-spirited manner.
Jiang Yan looked at his back, puzzled.
How did this train of thought come about?
don't know.
Jiang Yan returned to the courtyard, found Fan Yang, and told him about this.
Fan Yang was speechless for a few seconds.
"...What a fool." Fan Yang waved his hand and said in a scumbag way, "Let him be."
Jiang Yan wanted to say something but stopped.
Fan Yang looked at the script in his hand without even looking up: "Junior Brother, we are the Hehuan Sect. This is how we always behave."
All right.
Hehuan Sect.
Jiang Yan nodded and said nothing more.
…
The other two were ready to go.
Jiang Yan was originally going to go with the other two disciples, but he hadn’t prepared the herbs yet and couldn’t leave.
So he stayed behind while the other two left first.
The processing of the Soul-Chasing Grass is not complicated, the main thing is the pot of brewing potion.
That was the antidote that Jiang Yan had painstakingly researched based on the poison and after reading many magic books.
Jiang Yan added the juice of the soul-chasing grass into it.
"Wait another thirty-six hours and it will be ready. Remember to keep an eye on it at all times. Do not let anything fall in, and do not let the fire below go out. I will come and check on it every six hours. If there are any changes, come to me immediately."
The Heavenly Wolf Guard responded, "Yes, Immortal Lord."
Jiang Yan put away his wand and handed the potion to them with confidence.
"We'll set off again after the potion is ready."
It just so happened that there were no outsiders around, so he could travel with Gu Jingyun with peace of mind.
