Chapter 29: You Dare Not Come to the Coming-of-Age Ceremony

Nan Wang originally wanted to say something, but the moment he met Chu Songping's eyes, he forgot the words.

Nan Wang knew how it felt to be frightened to the point of forgetting the lyrics.

The original Second Brother was already very scary, but the current Second Brother... has almost reached the point where it depends on who gets beaten.

If I must say, Second Senior Brother has already formed the Chaos Golden Pill that only appears once in a thousand years, so it is understandable that some changes have occurred.

Just like how the eldest senior sister became more interested in gossip than before after she attained enlightenment that day, Nanwang was very receptive to the fact that the second senior brother would undergo some changes after he formed the elixir.

However, even though he had prepared himself mentally, the changes that occurred to Second Senior Brother after he achieved Dan Formation still left Nan Wang feeling baffled.

His change was not simply one of temperament; even his appearance was different.

Nanwang complained madly in his heart:

[Wasn't Second Brother's eyes one red and one gray before? Why are they one red and one blue now? ]

[How can a pill change the color of the eyes? ]

[The red and gray ones already looked very formidable, and now the red and blue ones, like police lights, are too scary.]

[Fortunately, I don’t usually do anything shameful, I am upright, and I am not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door! ]

Chu Songping: "..."

After getting back all his memories and successfully forming an elixir, his blood could no longer be suppressed, and the eye that was originally unable to see naturally regained its original color.

The way he looks now makes it obvious that he has demon blood in him. However, in the famous and upright sects, demon blood is considered a disgrace, even if he has half immortal blood in him.

Everyone coveted his talent, but felt disgusted by his background.

Yan Huai tried to persuade him to cover it up, but he refused. He wanted to face countless contemptuous and envious looks and walk his own smooth path!

Until this moment... Nan Wang said that his eyes looked like police lights...

Although he didn't know what a police light was, he felt ashamed from the bottom of his heart...

If you think about it carefully, what Yan Huai said is not wrong. It is not a bad idea to cover it up.

Although what Nanwang was thinking was extremely disrespectful, when he opened his mouth, the words he said were extremely nice:

"I am of average qualifications, so I am not even qualified to carry Second Senior Brother's shoes. Qingyun Sect is lucky to have someone like Second Senior Brother!"

Speaking nicely is a good habit that Nanwang has developed in his previous life. If he tries to please others and act cute, he can get some unexpected benefits. Why not do it?

However, the strange thing is that his "good habits" don't seem to work... in front of his second brother?

After receiving such compliments, Second Senior Brother not only did not become complacent as Nan Wang had expected, but his handsome face turned red, his teeth were grinding, and his eyes were extremely fierce, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from Nan Wang.

Nanwang quickly lowered his head, shrank his neck, and dared not speak.

Having lived for two lifetimes, Nan Wang has always firmly believed in the principle of not hitting someone who smiles at him. This is the first time that he has encountered a situation where he can no longer hold back his smile.

He had a strong premonition that if he laughed any longer, Second Brother might really beat him up.

[Second Brother is really hard to please. Even saying nice things to him doesn't work.]

[The train of thought of a genius is beyond the understanding of an ordinary person like me. 】

[With so many people watching, he won’t really beat me up, will he?]

Chu Songping stared at Nanwang for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "Ten days later, I will hold a coming-of-age ceremony at Fazong. I believe you have already heard about this!"

Nan Wang quickly replied: "Yes, yes, Second Senior Brother is right!"

In fact, he only knew that Chu Songping was going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony, but he had no idea where or when it would be held.

There was neither a channel to inquire nor the need to inquire, since he couldn't go anyway.

However, Nan Wang noticed the boasting behind Chu Songping's words, and of course he couldn't dampen his mood, so he could only go along with what he said.

This is my second senior brother, what can I do? I just hold him in my arms...

Putting himself in his shoes, Nan Wang felt that if he were in the position of his second senior brother, he would definitely not brag about his Dan formation to a loser who had to go through the back door to enter the outer sect.

This is a bit like a beggar showing off that he is the richest man in the world... Where does such a rich man with so much free time come from?

Although Chu Songping said this to Nan Wang, the other two were also named by Chu Songping.

Luo Xuyou and Yuan He nodded and said:

"I've heard of it before, I've heard of it before!"

"Second Senior Brother is so outstanding that we can never catch up to him! It would be great if we could have the honor to attend his coming-of-age ceremony!"

Chu Songping was very satisfied and nodded in approval.

Obviously, compared to Nan Wang's "insincere" compliments, Luo Xuyou and Yuan He's flattery was the correct approach.

Nan Wang complained in his heart, "That's not enough, that's not enough", while giving his friends a meaningful look.

The friends responded with a look that said, "I won't say anything, just taste it yourself."

Chu Songping said proudly: "The lowest level of cultivators who come to participate in the ceremony is the Qi Refining Stage, and there are many talented people from other immortal sects among them... Logically speaking, your level is not qualified to participate in my coming-of-age ceremony."

Luo Xuyou said ashamedly: "Second Senior Brother is right! Junior Brother's cultivation is low, it really brings shame to the sect!"

Yuan He was also extremely ashamed: "Junior brother, you must work hard in your cultivation in the future and strive to break through the Qi Refining Stage as soon as possible!"

Nan Wang cleared his throat and attacked again: "Second Senior Brother is such a person, so he naturally makes friends with the best of the best. With our cultivation level, how can we be worthy of coming to your coming-of-age ceremony and embarrass ourselves? In ten days, there will be a big gathering in the mortal world. I will go down the mountain early in the morning to catch up with them. I will not be in the sect all day and will never ruin Second Senior Brother's good fortune!"

Chu Songping was about to take out the Qi Condensation Pill from his storage bag when his hand paused.

"What do you mean by rushing? How can rushing be more important than the coming-of-age ceremony? How dare you not come to my coming-of-age ceremony!?"

Nanwang: “?”

Wait a moment?

Can't he go and catch up?

No, could it be that Chu Songping was inviting him to attend the coming-of-age ceremony?

The other two looked at Chu Songping as if they had seen a ghost, but Chu Songping's attention was completely on Nan Wang, not paying any attention to them at all.

Nan Wang stammered, “I, I really want to go, to Second Senior Brother’s ceremony, but, but my cultivation is not good enough, and if I go, it will be a disgrace to the sect, and to Second Senior Brother…”

"If your cultivation is not good enough, then work hard to cultivate! All you do is eat, drink and have fun every day! Can your cultivation level improve on its own?"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault that I have a bad character and poor talent..."

"You know you can't do it, but why don't you come and beg me?"

"……ah?"

Chu Songping threw a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills at Nan Wang's face and said in a defensive tone:

"Is this your attitude of asking for help? Last time you invited everyone to eat Shalaozi hotpot, you didn't invite me!"

Nanwang: “…”

Nanwang: “?”

The other two: “!!!”

…

Chu Songping left.

He became furious and said something that Nan Wang couldn't understand, then left in anger.

Just like the way he walked away in the middle of class in the Disciple Hall back then.

Nan Wang was left holding a bottle of unknown medicine, at a loss as to what to do.

"No, what does he mean?"

Nan Wang looked down at the thing in his hand and suddenly discovered that there was a bird tied to the bottle of medicine.

Yes, a bird.

A carrier bird.

Nanwang has too many carrier birds. Although he still doesn't have a carrier bird of his own, his understanding of carrier birds has reached the highest level among cloud players.

Therefore, even though the carrier bird in his hand was very different from all other carrier birds, Nan Wangzi still recognized it at a glance; it was a carrier bird.

Before seeing this carrier bird, Nan Wang had never paid attention to the size of carrier birds. He assumed that all carrier birds were about the same size.

The carrier bird of third senior brother Zhan Chenming is bigger and heavier than the other carrier birds, but not by much.

This carrier bird is different. It is small and thin, barely able to fit in the palm of your hand. Its wings are thin and its beak is short and thin, as if it is a young bird that has come out to work before it is even a month old.

Nan Wang fed a little bit of spiritual energy to the bird from his fingertips. The carrier bird received the spiritual energy, opened its watery eyes of different colors, and flapped its wings weakly.

OK, now it's certain.

This thing must be Second Brother’s carrier bird.

Luo Xuyou came over at some point and slapped Nanwang on the back:

"Nanwang, you are going too far. We treat you as a brother!"

"That's right, you have such a good relationship with Second Senior Brother, why are you hiding this from us?"

Yuan He also echoed.

Nan Wang cried out in injustice: "God and Heaven, when did I become friends with Second Senior Brother? How come I didn't even know it?"

Luo Xuyou said: "You still don't admit it, look at what's in your hand!"

Nanwang: “What is it?”

Luo Xuyou was furious: "Don't you know what the elixir that Second Senior Brother gave you is?"

Nan Wang spread his hands and said, "There's nothing written on this bottle, how can I know what this is? Come on, tell me, what kind of pill is this?"

Luo Xuyou was stunned: "This...isn't this a Qi Condensation Pill?"

Nanwang said in despair: "I don't know."

The three of them looked at each other.

Pills are undoubtedly the most complicated products in the world of cultivation. They are all round in shape and gray in color. There are slight differences between each one, but their functions and effects are vastly different.

For monks who rarely come into contact with elixirs, identifying an elixir is not an easy task.

Yuan He touched the back of his head and said, "From what Second Senior Brother said, this should be the Qi Condensation Pill. Second Senior Brother wants you to use the Qi Condensation Pill to break through the Qi Refining Stage and then attend his coming-of-age ceremony?"

Luo Xuyou's anger, which had just subsided, returned again: "Nanwang, you are not a good brother! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such a relationship with Second Senior Brother?"

That’s the second senior brother!

The second senior brother of Qingyun Sect, Chu Songping, is coveted by everyone in the sect and even other immortal sects!

Who could have thought that Nan Wang, a small outer disciple, would have such a deep friendship with the second senior brother in private?

Nan Wang thought about it and couldn't think of any relationship between him and his second senior brother. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he said, "Is it possible that this is not a Qi Condensation Pill? And my second senior brother didn't mean to invite me to the coronation ceremony?"

Luo Xuyou: “?”

Yuan He: “?”

Nanwang analyzed slowly:

"You all saw that Second Senior Brother left before he could even take a sip of water. This shows that Second Senior Brother doesn't like me at all. With Second Senior Brother's personality, how could he invite someone he doesn't like to attend his coming-of-age ceremony? What's more, Second Senior Brother didn't leave me an invitation! Without an invitation, even if I reach the level of Qi Refining, I can't attend the ceremony!"

Luo Xuyou hesitated and said, "What you said does make sense, but, if Second Senior Brother is not here to invite you to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, then what is he here for? And what is this elixir..."

Nan Wang said in a heavy tone: "Maybe Second Senior Brother felt that it would be a waste of time for me to continue cultivating with my talent, so he gave me a bottle of poison so that I can destroy my own cultivation and leave Qingyun Sect as soon as possible?"

Luo Xuyou: “…”

Yuan He: “…”
