Chapter 61 Praise and Pride
During this period, Nan Wang went to the Sword Sect to look for his fifth junior sister almost every day.
Lingzhi was also happy that Nanwang came to visit her and prepared delicious food for her. In return, she refined all the utensils that Nanwang needed.
Even more than one set was refined.
Nan Wang kept one set in the storage bag and another fixed set in the house, so he didn't have to move them in and out of the storage bag every time, which saved a lot of trouble.
Du Xueling seldom returned home, so even though Nan Wang had been going there frequently during this period, he had never run into her once.
After all, she is the sect's eldest senior sister. In addition to practicing, she is also busy with sect affairs on weekdays. She has a lot of work to do and is overwhelmed by paperwork. If you want to see her, you must use a carrier bird.
Nan Wang did not dare to bother the eldest senior sister, so he only dared to start with the fifth junior sister and ask about the matters concerning the head immortal.
The head immortal mentioned by Lingzhi is almost the same as what Nanwang saw in the original book -
He seldom inquired into the affairs of the sect, and except for matters concerning true disciples, he never interfered with the decisions of the elders.
This result made Nan Wang breathe a sigh of relief.
It is better to stay at home than to show up in public. Annuo should not be exposed in the short term.
After coming out of the Sword Sect, Nanwang would go to the Law Sect to take a look around and see if his second senior brother had come out of seclusion.
Unfortunately, those who practice Taoism have to stay in seclusion for a long time to recuperate, especially geniuses like Chu Songping. If something happens, it will be a big deal and they will not be able to come out in a short time.
Not being able to see Chu Songping would have been fine, but Yan Huai was also missing. Nan Wang came back empty-handed every time he went. If the disciple on duty had not told him that Elder Yan had left the sect for important matters, Nan Wang would have suspected that he had been blacklisted by Fa Zong because he had implicated his second senior brother.
It was another fruitless day. Nanwang returned to the outer gate from Fazong, walked up the Dragon Stairs with a sigh, and went to his own hut.
Only this time, someone blocked him at the door.
After seeing Nan Wang, Luo Xuyou and Yuan He called his name from a distance.
Nan Wang was stunned on the spot. After a while, he slapped his head and said:
"Ouch, look at me... my memory is so bad! Sorry, I'm really sorry."
Nan Wangke still remembers how furious he was at his friends. They were obviously trying to persuade him with good intentions, but he didn't listen to a word they said and even told them to get out. This was really wrong.
Besides, he disappeared for such a long time without any clear reason, so he should have reported his safety to his friends as soon as he came back.
However, too many things happened during this period of time. The second senior brother was injured and went into seclusion, An Nuo came back to life, the head of the sect was missing, and there was also the inexplicable name of the fourth senior brother of Qingyun Sect...
As a result, in the hustle and bustle, he accidentally forgot about his two little friends.
Nan Wang jumped onto the stairs in a few steps, and the two brothers carefully put their arms around their friends' shoulders and led them into the house.
"Come on, come on, let's talk inside, let's talk inside, this time I really have a golden opportunity..."
Luo Xuyou was surprised and said, "You have recovered very quickly. You looked like you were dying, which scared me and your brother Yuan so much."
Yuan He nodded and said, "Brother Nan, good things will come to you naturally. It seems that we are worrying for no reason."
Nanwang: “…”
By the way, they don’t know yet that Fifth Sister has returned.
For some unknown reason, Du Xueling kept the fact that Lingzhi had returned to the sect a secret.
Nan Wang didn't know what Du Xueling's plan was, but he would not disobey the order of his senior sister over such a small matter.
Just keep it a secret. The person is back now, so anything goes.
"Yeah, that's not me. I just went to the mortal world. After traveling around, I suddenly felt my mind became more open, hahaha."
Nan Wang lied calmly and brought the two people into the house.
The poker cards he had spent a lot of effort to make were still on the table, but they hadn't been together for so long that the card box was covered in dust.
Nan Wang happily picked up the card box and shuffled the cards with familiar movements: "Come on, come on, we must play all night today and you are not allowed to leave until dawn!"
Luo Xuyou and Yuan He were amazed at Nan Wang's condition.
They knew that Nanwang had left Qingyun Sect before, and they also knew that Nanwang had returned to the sect some time ago.
They thought Nan Wang was still upset about the matter of Fifth Junior Sister, so they did not dare to come to him rashly. When they came today, they were even prepared to be driven away by Nan Wang again. They did not expect Nan Wang's attitude to change so quickly.
They really worried for nothing.
…
Time always passes quickly when you are in the company of friends. After the relaxed and enjoyable "discussing Tao" life continued for a while, Nanwang heard that the second senior brother had come out of seclusion.
News about the second senior brother has always spread the fastest in Qingyun Sect. He had just appeared in the Suxing Tower, and Nanwang learned about it from Luo Xuyou the next moment.
The most popular true disciple of Qingyun Sect, his reputation is well deserved.
Luo Xuyou and the others actually didn't know the reason why Second Senior Brother went into seclusion, but that didn't stop them from asking around for gossip about him.
The only person who knew about it was Nan Wang, but he didn't dare to tell his friends about it.
He had already made a big mistake by disobeying the sect's order and heading to the secret realm, and as a result, his second senior brother was injured...
He didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be if this got out.
Nan Wang kept all these things in his heart, and listened to the rumors about the sect shared by Luo Xuyou and others every day, and nodded in agreement.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect did not know that Chu Songping had lent Zhijing to Nanwang to help him go to the secret realm to rescue his fifth sister, so when Chu Songping went into seclusion this time, the rumors in the sect were spreading like wildfire.
There are stories like "Second Senior Brother observed the celestial phenomena at night, and suddenly had some feelings, so he closed himself off", "Second Senior Brother was amazingly talented, so he closed himself off to attack Yuan Ying", and there are even stories like "Second Senior Brother and Elder Yan had a quarrel, Elder Yan took the initiative to make peace, but Second Senior Brother closed himself off and ignored him"...
In just a few days, Nan Wang heard a bunch of incredible rumors. The rumors became more and more outrageous day by day, and Nan Wang was overwhelmed by them.
When the rumors finally died down a little, Nanwang picked a sunny day to visit Fazong.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to thank his second senior brother and apologize to him, and return all the gifts that other sect friends had given to his second senior brother when Zhijing and his second senior brother held the coronation ceremony.
These things should have been returned to the second senior brother long ago, but he happened to be on his way to the secret realm where the fifth senior sister died, and he was so panicked that he forgot about it.
The result was good, the destination was returned, but the gifts were thrown out again.
Chu Songping said, "I, the Fa Zong, don't need this garbage," and threw Nan Wang out along with the garbage.
Before Nanwangji could finish the flattering words he had been accumulating for a long time, he was already outside the Shexing Tower.
As the disciples of the Law Sect looked on curiously, Nan Wang silently took these priceless "junk" that Chu Songping looked down upon, got on the fairy crane, and headed towards the Sword Sect in dejection.
"What a pity, most of them are materials for refining pills, and not many can be used in refining tools..."
Although Lingzhi expressed regret, he still selected a lot of usable materials and put them in his pocket.
These were all gifts from the immortal friends outside the sect to honor the "Dan Immortal". Each one was very valuable. Chu Songping didn't like them, but he could never have too many spiritual branches.
Chu Songping is good at refining elixirs, so most of these gifts are raw materials used in refining elixirs, and a few are general materials that can be used for both refining elixirs and refining tools.
Nan Wang was an ordinary cultivator who could neither refine pills nor weapons, so these things were useless to him. When he saw that the materials had fallen into the hands of people who could make good use of them, he felt pleased and relieved.
The spirit branch that received the materials was very grateful and returned the favor:
"Don't worry, Senior Brother. I won't take your things for nothing. I'm already planning to make a set of defensive magic tools for you. Once I finish forging the natal spirit sword for Senior Sister, then... Hey, what is this?"
Lingzhi was picking and choosing when he suddenly picked out a bottle of something that looked like medicine.
She wrinkled her face and shook her head unconsciously.
It's impossible, absolutely impossible, there can't be any elixirs in the gift.
This is a gift for Chu Songping.
Giving elixirs to Chu Songping, is that considered giving a gift?
This is clearly asking for humiliation!
Lingzhi opened the bottle cap and poured out a pill into his palm. He took one look and understood:
"It's the Nine-transformation Resurrection Pill. I see, Senior Brother. This should be given to you by Second Senior Brother. He was embarrassed to give it to you in person, so he mixed it with the gift for you. Senior Brother, please keep it quickly. This bottle of pill is very valuable. You must not lose it."
Nanwang: “!!!”
Praise the beauty and pride!
…
After the second senior brother came out of retreat, Nan Wang felt relieved.
People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Nan Wang's luck has improved a lot recently when he and his friends play cards. He has won for several days in a row and won a lot of spirit stones from his friends.
Perhaps God couldn't bear to see Nanwang happy alone, so in order to balance it out, he allowed a piece of great news to sweep across Qingyun Sect.
The elders are back!
After many days of expedition, the elders of Qingyun Sect finally joined forces to put an end to the Jade Buddha Secret Realm that collapsed for the second time.
The second elder of the Sword Sect broke through the Dan and became an Infant in the secret realm, becoming the second elder in the sect to reach the Yuanying level. The other elders also gained a lot. The elder of the Array Sect reached the Half-Step Yuanying level, and the elder of the Weapon Sect broke through the sixth level of the Golden Core and successfully stepped into the threshold of the high-level Golden Core.
However, the elder of Danzong was unfortunately seriously injured in the secret realm this time. Although his realm did not fall, his situation seemed not good. As soon as he came back, he ran to Chu Songping to ask for medicine.
This is what secret realms are like. Rewards come with risks. Some people succeed overnight, while others unfortunately fail. Everyone's experiences in the secret realm are very different. Success or failure, although there are reasons of strength, luck is also at work.
However, when an elder of the Dan Sect needed elixirs to save his life, he had to find a disciple of the Fa Sect. This was a strange thing that only happened in the Qingyun Sect.
The Qingyun Sect, which had been silent for a long time, became bustling with the return of the elder.
In just a few days, countless pieces of news spread throughout the sect, some true, some false, some good, some bad. The disciples all whispered to each other, eating melons and chatting about gossip, having a great time.
When it was Nanwang's "discuss time", Luo Xuyou came again with his gossip.
This time the gossip was obviously different from the past. Luo Xuyou's face was dark and solemn, and his voice was trembling:
“Important news!”
Nan Wang saw that Luo Xuyou was sweating profusely, so he quickly poured him a cup of iced fruit tea and asked him to drink a few sips first.
Luo Xuyou pushed the fruit tea aside and said excitedly: "After the accident of the fifth junior sister, there has been a rumor in the Qi Sect that Yu Hui will succeed the fifth junior sister and become the next true disciple!"
Nan Wang asked in confusion: "Who is Yu Hui?"
Luo Xuyou said: "It's normal that you don't know him. It doesn't matter."
Nanwang: “…”
No, it doesn't matter whether he recognizes me or not.
He had read the original novel, and found that people he didn't know didn't even have the qualifications to appear in the original novel.
How can a passerby have the qualifications to challenge for the true teachings?
Nan Wang lowered his eyes and took a sip of fruit tea by himself.
Luo Xuyou continued, "Sure enough! The news has come. The headmaster is going to accept a new disciple, but not the fifth disciple, but the fourth disciple!"
Nan Wang spit out a mouthful of fruit tea all over the floor.
