Chapter 521
As soon as Emperor Duan was happy, he opened more royal libraries to Yuan Jing, including those that were not open to the public. The higher Yuan Jing's alchemy skills were, the better it would be for Thirteen. The higher Thirteen's skills were, the more stable the Duan royal family would be. He was very clear about this relationship.
So Yuan Jing followed Duan Linzhi into the royal library again. As for the competition outside, Yuan Jing had not thought of participating in it at first. He just wanted to let other children of the Zhai family compete for the places. Besides, he had decided to join the Star Sword Sect early on, so he didn't need much fame. It was better to keep a low profile now. Even if he became famous in the future, he would be famous as a disciple of the Star Sword Sect. There was no need to highlight the Zhai family now.
Emperor Duan not only opened the royal library, but also provided Yuan Jing with Xuan-grade Yuanzhi. Therefore, when the competition ended, Yuan Jing, the Xuan-grade alchemist, did not have much reputation in the outside world. Even if people from outside occasionally heard about him, they did not take it too seriously. In their opinion, if he became a Xuan-grade alchemist at this age, his reputation would have spread long ago. However, they did not hear many people talking about it during these days.
In such a small place, those with high talent can perform well after years of diligent practice, but there are too many conditions required to become an alchemist, which cannot be met in such a small place. Therefore, they do not take the Xuan-level alchemist, who is not even known to exist, seriously and do not pay much attention to him.
The disciples of Xingjian Sect were so happy to see this. The more these people don't believe it, the better. They, Xingjian Sect, must bring the person back. Your sects don't care, but they, Xingjian Sect, do. Senior Brother Duan was really awesome this time.
After the competition, Yuan Jing also came out of the palace. In addition to reading a lot of books in the library, he also refined several furnaces of Xuan-level pills. He asked Duan Linzhi to give part of them to Duan Huang. He used his Yuanzhi and kept none of them. The remaining half was left to the Zhai family. He went to the Xingjian Sect and could no longer provide pills to the Zhai family as before.
Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi were admitted to the Royal Academy as they wished. This time, in addition to the two of them, a total of four people in the Zhai family were qualified, and the Zhai family was very happy.
Zhai Quxiang patted his son's head and said, "Just follow the Thirteenth Prince without worry. The family doesn't need to worry. The pills you left behind are enough for the family to use for a long time. In addition, you have trained several alchemists for the Zhai family this year. Although their alchemy skills are not as good as yours, it is no problem for them to become yellow-level alchemists."
When Yuan Jing was training alchemists, he first selected from the children of the Zhai family, but there were too few suitable people, so he selected from the children of the guard warriors who were attached to the Zhai family. The interests of these people were tied to the Zhai family, so there was no need to worry about them betraying him. Moreover, before they were selected for training, the Zhai family signed a contract with them, requiring them to serve the Zhai family for a certain number of years after graduation, and after that they could come and go freely.
No one would be unwilling to accept such a contract. If it weren't for the opportunity given by the Eighth Young Master, they would have no chance to learn alchemy.
When Yuan Jing left Linyang City, all the people he brought with him had already entered the sect, and two of them were just one step away from becoming a yellow-level alchemist. Yuan Jing's training and teaching skills and vision were at the top of the world. How could the people he trained and taught be bad? That was impossible.
Yuan Jing nodded: "I've asked Brother Duan, there will be many opportunities to go out and practice in the future. I will come back to see my parents when I have time. Dad, you and mom must take care of yourselves, and don't be reluctant to eat the elixirs I leave for you. The stronger you are, the more relieved I, as your son, will be."
Zhai Quxiang felt a pang in his heart. He rubbed his son's head hard and then pushed him out. He would be reluctant to let him go if he didn't leave.
Which son could be as considerate and filial as his? He even made such proper arrangements for his parents before leaving.
In the past, I thought that it was enough to just raise my son, but now I realize that my son can repay his parents. Now he is a martial artist, so it is not impossible for him to become a great martial artist in the future.
The Wushuang Sect has the Winged Cloud Boat, while the Xingjian Sect has the Nebula Shuttle, which is faster than the Wushuang Sect's Winged Cloud Boat. Unfortunately, only warriors who practice the Xingjian Sect's martial arts can drive the Nebula Shuttle, so other sects can only envy the Xingjian Sect's Nebula Shuttle.
Starting from the imperial capital of Fengyan Kingdom, it only took five days to reach the territory of Xingjian Sect. If relying on ground transportation, it would probably take one or two months to arrive, and the journey was very dangerous. From the sky, you can see large areas of mountains and forests, which are the paradise for monsters.
After Yuan Jing got on the Nebula Shuttle, he refined two more batches of pills and gave two pills each to his two senior brothers who were traveling with him. They were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear. So along the way, they enthusiastically introduced Yuan Jing to the Star Sword Sect and the various conditions of the area where the Star Sword Sect was staying.
"After passing that dense forest, we will enter the Kingdom of Divine Eagle. The Kingdom of Divine Eagle is very large. If compared with Fengyan Kingdom, it is estimated to be ten times as large. The royal family of the Kingdom of Divine Eagle is also very powerful. It is said that there is an ancestor in the ancestral land who is a Martial Emperor. Of course, it is just a rumor. Whether the ancestor is still alive is unknown, but there is a Martial Saint in the Kingdom of Divine Eagle."
"By the way, the Wushuang Sect is located in the Divine Eagle Country, and our Xingjian Sect is located in the Golden Scarlet Country. Although the Golden Scarlet Country's land area is not as large as the Divine Eagle Country, its strength is not weaker than theirs."
Yuan Jing listened with great interest to their introduction of the situation outside, and even asked, "Where is the Qimu Gate located?"
"Huh? Junior Brother Zhai, did someone you know enter Qimumen? Qimumen is at the border between Shenying Country and Donghuang Country, and it's even farther away from our Jinchi Country."
Yuan Jing: "It's so far away. My fifth brother is in Qimumen. He entered last year."
"Then the Zhai family where Junior Brother Zhai is is good. Junior Brother Zhai joined our Xingjian Sect, and Junior Brother Zhai's fifth brother went to Qimu Sect." The senior brother who spoke was indeed a little surprised. To be honest, most of the disciples of the Xingjian Sect were placed in Jinchi Country. There were very few disciples coming out of Fengyan Country, and most of them looked down on Fengyan Country. In the eyes of the people of Jinchi Country, Fengyan Country was a very poor place, and few people came out of it. It was not easy for the Zhai family to have two people come out.
Yuan Jing smiled modestly: "What a coincidence."
Duan Linzhi raised the corner of his mouth and put his big hand on Yuan Jing's head to rub it. Listening to Yuan Jing talking to his two junior brothers, he felt like an adult coaxing children. Of course, these children were his two junior brothers. They looked older than Yuan Jing, but they were led by Yuan Jing and told him everything.
But his action also frightened the two junior brothers. It turned out that Senior Brother Duan treated Junior Brother Zhai differently. When had they ever seen Senior Brother Duan be so intimate with others in Xingjian Sect? Even Senior Brother Feng, who had a close relationship with Senior Brother Duan, had never done such a thing.
Yuan Jing turned his head and bared his little white teeth at Duan Linzhi, then took his hand away. They all liked to flutter his head, what a stinky habit.
Duan Linzhi used his eyes to indicate the height difference between them. Yuan Jing gritted his teeth: "If I am taller than you in the future, will I be able to pounce on you like this?"
Duan Linzhi was stunned. He realized that the future Yuan Jing was talking about was not just the future of this life, but might also include the future world. Imagine a small creature standing in front of Yuan Jing and being hit on the head by him. Duan Linzhi felt a little upset.
"Ahem," he coughed lightly and glanced, "We'll talk about the future later."
"Then I'm going to give it back now."
Yuan Jing rushed over and started playing with Duan Linzhi, which stunned the two fellow apprentices who followed him. Oh my god, they never knew that Senior Brother Duan had such a side to him. It was as if Senior Brother Duan had walked down from the high altar and had become more down-to-earth.
It was confirmed once again that Junior Brother Zhai was indeed different in front of Senior Brother Duan. Even Senior Brother Duan's younger brothers were respectful in front of him and did not dare to be presumptuous. But Junior Brother Zhai could actually stroke Senior Brother Duan's head.
When they got off the Nebula Shuttle, they saw Feng Jing coming to greet them. Feng Jing had been out on a mission before, so he didn't return to Fengyan Country. He was very happy to see Yuan Jing coming with him this time, so that he wouldn't have to worry about someone always keeping an eye on the skylarks. The skylarks he raised this year were very tired.
"Brother Feng." Yuan Jing took the initiative to greet him.
"Oh, now it's time to call you Junior Brother Zhai. Hello, Junior Brother. I am a book I got during my training this time, and I'm giving it to you as a gift."
"Hello, Senior Brother Feng." Yuan Jing immediately changed his tone and took the booklet sent by Feng Jing. He opened it and saw several recipes and refining methods recorded. The paper and words were very old. It happened that those recipes were ones Yuan Jing had never seen before. He was happy to receive this gift. "Thank you, Senior Brother Feng."
Feng Jing was very happy that he had given the right gift. He would rely on Junior Brother Zhai for the elixirs in the future.
Duan Linzhi took Yuan Jing to apply for the status of an inner sect disciple first. Of course, as a Xuan-level alchemist who had just entered the sect, he enjoyed the treatment of an inner sect disciple. The manager here had also been notified in advance and processed the identity card very quickly, and sent the monthly salary for the next few months to Yuan Jing.
Nowadays, the Xingjian Sect has the same attitude towards ordinary disciples, because there are too many of them. Unless they are outstanding like Duan Linzhi, one more or one less is not too few. But it is different for the Xuan-level alchemists. Who knows when they will come to Yuan Jing for help, so they must show goodwill to him.
"Let's go. I'll take you to meet the sect leader, and then you can stay at my Xijian Peak." Duan Linzhi walked out with Yuan Jing.
Feng Jingmei's heart skipped a beat. "Brother, you want to arrange for Junior Brother Zhai to live on your Xijian Peak? Your Xijian Peak is full of sword energy. Is it suitable for an alchemist to live there? It's hard for even a Yuan plant to grow there. Are you sure the Sect Master will agree?"
Duan Linzhi raised his eyebrows: "I can open up a separate area for Yuan Jing in the back mountain."
Feng Jing was speechless. Yuan Jing smiled calmly and let Duan Linzhi decide. Why did he come to Xingjian Sect? Of course, it was to stay with Duan Linzhi. Why would he stay in two different places after coming to the sect?
Duan Linzhi would arrange everything well without him saying anything.
Yuan Jing met Xing Jian Sect's leader Xing Qingchao. He looked very peaceful, but Yuan Jing was not mistaken. There was a hint of sword energy in his eyes, like stars. Perhaps this was the reason why Xing Jian Sect got its name.
This is a hidden sword master. This was the impression Yuan Jing got when he first met the sect leader.
