Chapter 522
Xing Qingchao was also very happy to see Zhai Yuanjing. He chatted with Yuanjing in a gentle tone. Then a warrior with the smell of medicine and anger rushed in. His unkempt appearance was completely different from that of Sect Master Xing. Before he even landed, he shouted, "Where is he? Where is he? I tell you, Xing Qingchao, don't expect me to teach you if you can't meet my requirements."
Yuan Jing knew the man's identity when he rushed in. He was Shi Heng, the only earth-level alchemist of the Xingjian Sect introduced by Duan Linzhi. He was a swordsman who loved alchemy and spent more time on alchemy than on swordsmanship. However, his talent in swordsmanship was extremely high, so in the eyes of the sect master and others, this guy was completely not doing his job properly.
Perhaps because he spent too much time on alchemy, Shi Heng's current realm is the same as Duan Linzhi's. Shi Heng is a bit strange. He only likes to study alchemy by himself and doesn't like to teach disciples. Therefore, every disciple sent to him would be fired away by him in the end.
He is the type who can understand things but cannot explain them, and is not good at teaching apprentices. It is really a headache for him to take on apprentices, so this time when the sect leader said that he would send another person to Danjian Peak, Shi Heng was very angry.
Yuan Jing was mentally prepared, and with his psychological quality, he would not be frightened by such a scene.
Before the sect leader could say anything, Duan Linzhi snorted coldly, "Let you teach? In the end, we don't know who will teach whom. How long did it take Master Shi Feng to advance to a Xuan-level alchemist? It only took Yuan Jing a year to go from being ignorant to becoming a Xuan-level alchemist, and that was without anyone teaching him."
Shi Heng was so angry that his teeth itched: "It's you again, Duan brat. Come on, let's go out and have a few fights. Do you really think that you can ignore me, your senior, just because you have been promoted to a military commander?"
Duan Linzhi sneered: "Even if you can still beat me now, how long do you think you can last?"
Xing Qingchao looked at him with a smile. Although his face was gentle, Yuan Jing felt that he was a cunning fox.
Shi Heng was just now full of anger, but when he heard Duan Linzhi's words, his anger immediately deflated. He was not without self-awareness. He knew that he spent too much time on alchemy, which led to his slow advancement. Duan Linzhi, this junior, was a monster. Now he had caught up with him, and it wouldn't take long for him to surpass him.
So what are you waiting for? He grabbed Duan Linzhi's arm and pulled him out: "You are right, kid. I have to fight you a few more times while I can still beat you. Let's go!"
This pace also surprised Yuan Jing a little, so he watched in amazement as Shi Heng dragged Duan Linzhi out, and the two of them started fighting in the air outside the main peak hall.
As soon as they saw there was a fight, the disciples of the Xingjian Sect swarmed over. After discovering that it was Peak Master Shi and the new Peak Master Duan, they all cheered them on.
Yuan Jing rubbed his face. On the first day he entered the Xingjian Sect, he saw the true face of the Xingjian Sect. But he smiled again. The atmosphere of this sect was much better than he had imagined.
Xing Qingchao stood beside Yuan Jing, watching the two fight and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Master Shi Feng. As long as you have the ability, he will definitely ask you for advice. Just stay in Xingjian Sect. Although Xingjian Sect doesn't have much information about alchemy, it will be open to you, and will strive for more resources for you in the future."
Yuan Jing was surprised: "Master, aren't you worried that my talent is limited?"
Xing Qingchao smiled and said, "Even if it's for An Duan Linzhi's sake, I need to keep you here and try my best to meet your needs."
Seeing the understanding look in the sect master's eyes, Yuan Jing, the shameless old man, actually felt a little embarrassed. He had just entered the Xingjian Sect, and all his secrets were exposed to the sect master. But he had to admit that he had a good impression of the Xingjian Sect.
Feng Jing also ran over and commented on the fight between the two with Yuan Jing. On the way, other senior members of the Xingjian Sect came over to take a look at the Xuan-level alchemist brought in by Duan Linzhi. They encouraged him and hoped that the Xingjian Sect could have a second Di-level alchemist as soon as possible. But from the tone of these people, it seemed a bit perfunctory. Of course, this could not be blamed on them, because the Xingjian Sect's resources in alchemy were very limited, otherwise they would not have trained only one Shi Heng over the years.
The two people in the sky were fighting fiercely, and in the end it ended in a draw. Shi Heng was so angry that he screamed, then took out something from his arms and threw it towards Yuan Jing, and ran away without looking back. What face can he have after losing to a junior? It would only be embarrassing to stay.
Yuan Jing took the token. Feng Jing took a look and said with a smile, "Master Shi, that's fine. I'll give you the highest authority token to enter and exit Danjian Peak. You can enter and exit any place in Danjian Peak from now on."
Yuan Jing looked up at Duan Linzhi who was flying towards him. He knew that this token was won by Duan Linzhi for him. Since he failed to defeat Shi Heng convinced, he probably didn't get this token so easily. He smiled brightly.
The same was true for Duan Linzhi. The two of them had an extremely good understanding of each other and knew what the other was thinking without saying anything. Therefore, he also smiled back at Yuan Jing. At that moment, it was as if a glacier had melted, and many disciples were stunned.
"Oh my god, Senior Brother Duan is laughing? Senior Brother Duan is really laughing, right? Am I seeing things?"
"He really laughed. Senior Brother Duan actually laughed. When he laughed, Senior Brother Duan became even more charming."
"Is Senior Brother Duan's Xijian Peak recruiting disciples? If we go to Xijian Peak, we can get the upper hand, right?"
"You're dreaming. Don't you see who Senior Brother Duan is smiling at?"
The disciples saw Duan Linzhi reaching out his hand to someone below. Yuan Jing said goodbye to the sect master and took the initiative to walk himself over. Then Duan Linzhi put his arm around Yuan Jing's waist and flew away in front of the sect master and the disciples.
...flew away.
...and put his arm around someone's waist.
"Ahhh, who is that goblin? It turns out that Senior Brother Duan was smiling at that goblin." This is the female disciple who admires Duan Linzhi.
"Haha, that's great, it turns out Senior Brother Duan has someone he loves, haha..." These were the male disciples who were envious and jealous of Duan Linzhi. It was great, these female disciples could finally shift their gaze away from Senior Brother Duan, their spring was coming.
Sect Leader Xing still smiled gently, seemingly very indulgent. Feng Jing was speechless. Duan Lin was a sultry guy who couldn't wait to announce his relationship with Junior Brother Zhai in front of everyone on the first day.
Just like this, Yuan Jing's training life in Xingjian Sect began normally. Also because of Duan Linzhi's behavior, all disciples of Xingjian Sect knew that a new alchemist had come in this year, and this alchemist junior brother was also taken to Xijian Peak by Duan Linzhi.
Yuan Jing did not ask Duan Linzhi to set aside a place for him on Xijian Peak. If he needed anything, he could go to Danjian Peak, because there were almost no other disciples on Danjian Peak except those who did odd jobs, and the place was very spacious. With the token from the peak master, Yuan Jing could do whatever he wanted on Danjian Peak.
For example, Yuan Jing reorganized the Yuantian opened up by Shi Heng and made some adjustments. After a while, Shi Heng ran out to take a look. He found something strange. After being moved by Zhai Yuanjing, this Yuantian and the Yuan plants in the Yuantian looked much better than before. Could it be that this kid's talent is really so high?
Yuan Jing ran to the collection pavilion again and scanned all the books on alchemy there. Although his level of alchemy was not low, he had discovered before that the alchemy in this world was somewhat different from the immortal cultivation world he had visited. Yuan Jing was very interested in learning this kind of knowledge and could immerse himself in it for several days.
There is also a very important secret book in the collection pavilion. Yuan Jing discovered that it was for cultivating soul power. However, the quality of this secret book was a bit low. But he knew where the good things were. It was that thing that later brought a catastrophe to the Qimu Sect and finally fell into the hands of Zhai Yuanhao, causing Zhai Yuanhao to embark on the road of escape and revenge again.
Yuan Jing memorized the contents of the secret book and told Duan Linzhi about it when he returned to Xijian Peak.
Duan Linzhi nodded and said, "Master Shi Feng took great risks to obtain this thing, and it took a lot of effort. Is the cultivation system of this world a little unexpected?"
Yuan Jing said: "Yes, when I first came here, I thought that warriors did not focus on the tempering of the soul, but only on the tempering of the body. I didn't expect that there are soul power secrets specifically for alchemists to practice. This is very interesting."
After practicing the yellow-level soul power secret book for a while, he discovered the benefits of it. The secret book that will fall into Zhai Yuanhao's hands in the future will be of the heavenly level, so for this reason, Yuan Jing must get it no matter what.
Duan Linzhi introduced the situation of the alchemy world on Xuanwu Continent to Yuan Jing: "Qimu Sect can only be regarded as a second-rate sect, but because it is good at alchemy, it has a special status on the continent and is not regarded as an ordinary second-rate sect. The real first-rate sect belongs to Danyang Sect, but Danyang Sect also has only one local-level high-level soul power secret book."
Yuan Jing understood: "In the plot, Qimu Sect was destroyed by Danyang Sect in the end. This is the result that the male protagonist found out later. In the end, although Danyang Sect was not destroyed, under the suppression of the male protagonist, the sect's power declined rapidly and turned from a first-class sect into a second-class sect."
"Yes, in addition to the Danyang Sect, there is another first-rate family, the Chang Family, which is also famous for its alchemy skills and also possesses a high-level earth-level soul power secret book. Currently, there are a total of three high-level alchemy saints on the Xuanwu Continent, one in the Danyang Sect, one in the Chang Family, and the last one is isolated from other forces. Some people even say that this alchemy saint has passed away."
Yuan Jing gossiped, "So the place that the leader of Qimu Sect accidentally entered must be the mansion of a Dan Emperor, so he got the Heaven-level Soul Power Secret Book from it. Of course, there should be other things, such as good things that can help high-level Dan Saints break through and become Dan Emperors. If this news is leaked, the three high-level Dan Saints will definitely be interested. No wonder Qimu Sect has such a fate."
It is really because the strength of the Qimu Sect is too weak. If such a thing falls into the Qimu Sect, unless it will never be leaked out, it will be a crime to possess a treasure. Sooner or later, the coveted people will come to snatch it away. When such a thing falls into the hands of the male protagonist, naturally he cannot avoid the long-term pursuit of various forces.
Yuan Jing wiped away tears of sympathy for the treatment of the male protagonist in the plot.
Yuan Jing didn't think so as to say that the Qimu Sect was not cautious enough. From the discovery of the abandoned mansion to the acquisition of the heavenly-level secret book, there must have been many suspicious points during the period, which attracted the attention of interested people. It would be difficult not to guess the truth with a slightly deeper investigation. Even if the Qimu Sect wanted to keep the secret, it would be difficult.
But would the leader of the Qimu Sect be willing to give up such a great opportunity? Doesn't the fate of the Qimu Sect in the plot illustrate this point? The leader of the Qimu Sect was unwilling to give up, and the result of his unwillingness was the extinction of the sect. Didn't the leader think of this outcome at first? Of course he thought about it, but he wanted to take a gamble, but he lost the gamble in the end.
After figuring out these things and reading the books in the Danjian Peak Collection Pavilion, Yuan Jing began to make pills. He just had to apply to Peak Master Shi for Yuan Zhi. Shi Heng also wanted to see if Yuan Jing's alchemy skills were as amazing as Duan Linzhi said, so he allowed everything and paid close attention to Yuan Jing's alchemy process.
Yuan Jing locked himself in the alchemy room and did not leave for several days, and naturally did not return to Xijian Peak.
Duan Linzhi couldn't help but run to Danjian Peak.
Outside the alchemy room, Shi Heng looked at Duan Linzhi with eyes that weren't eyes and nose that weren't nose: "My Danjian Peak is not a good place. How dare Peak Master Duan step in? Don't let this affect Peak Master Duan's improvement in swordsmanship."
Duan Linzhi sneered: "No, Danjian Peak is the treasured land of Xingjian Sect. I feel extremely honored to be able to step into it."
"...Get lost!" This brat could actually say such shameless words, it's almost unrecognizable. Zhai Yuanjing has such great charm that he actually changed this kid so much? Shi Heng stared at Duan Linzhi with his eyes rolling around, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Duan Linzhi didn't care at all. If Shi Heng wanted to fight, Yuan Jing had to be willing to cooperate, otherwise it would be just wishful thinking and daydreaming.
Fortunately, Shi Heng didn’t know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would vomit blood.
The two men were standing outside Yuan Jing's alchemy room, staring at each other. Just when they were about to start fighting, the door of the alchemy room was finally opened from the inside. Yuan Jing came out smelling of alchemy, and when he saw the two people waiting outside, his eyes were filled with smiles.
"I have used up all the Yuanzhi. This is the elixir I made. I will keep some and give the rest to the sect?"
When Shi Heng smelled the fragrance of the elixir on him, he knew that he was refining Xuan-grade elixirs, and they were intermediate and high-grade Xuan-grade elixirs. The fragrance of the elixir was also very pure. He was already ecstatic. He also liked Duan Linzhi, the brat, much better. He hurriedly said, "Give it to me. I will convert it into contribution points for you. You can exchange it for the resources you want in the sect."
"Okay, thank you, Master Shi." Yuan Jing handed the remaining bottles of medicine to Shi Heng.
Shi Heng grabbed one of the bottles and opened it. As he expected, it was a bottle of high-grade Xuan-level elixir, and the appearance was also quite good. He almost laughed out loud: "Good! Good! Not bad, strive to become the number one elixir master in Xingjian Sect in the future, and defeat all the sects in Wushuang Sect."
Yuan Jing's eyes were still curved. He didn't say no, nor did he say yes. For him, it was a piece of cake.
Shi Heng waved his hand and ran away with the pill to find the sect leader. This brat Duan Linzhi had made a great contribution to the sect. Judging from the pill that Zhai Yuanjing had refined this time, in his opinion, he was not far from becoming an earth-level alchemist.
