Chapter 239 Old Acquaintance
Shagen’s original name was Baitiegen.
The name is a bit rustic.
It seems that this is not the name given to him by Bai Yuanli, and I don’t know why Bai Yuanli didn’t give him a nicer name.
There may be other behind-the-scenes stories, but they have nothing to do with Yang Qingyun.
He was kind to Sha Gen simply because the kid had a pure heart, which was rare in this world, so he didn't mind helping him to the best of his ability.
Of course, since Bai Yuanli sent a valuable gift, Yang Qingyun would take better care of this kid in the future in order to repay the favor.
Soon after,
Yang Qingyun set out with Sha Gen, passed through the Death Desert, and returned to the land of the Seven Kingdoms from the Tiannan Region.
However, Yang Qingyun did not go directly to the sect.
Instead, Tiegen was sent to Changchun Temple first.
Most of those who want to enter the sect to practice cultivation need to go through a screening process from other courtyards. This is the sect's rule. The purpose is probably to maintain sufficient qualifications and potential of fresh blood, so few people violate it.
Perhaps the children of some sect leaders would be exceptions, but obviously Yang Qingyun is not a sect leader yet, so he can only follow the procedures.
The abbot of Changchun Temple is no longer Liu Yuansong, but another unknown master.
Moreover, the lecturers who give lectures in Changchun Temple have basically been replaced.
This is because the lecturers who teach in the other courtyards are basically inner disciples who have accepted tasks from the sect’s Internal Affairs Hall, and the duration is generally three years.
The inner disciples who accept these missions do so for the sake of cultivation resources or to make friends with some talented people who may help them in their future path.
No one stays there forever.
Therefore, in many branch temples, basically everyone from the abbot to the lecturers, as well as the disciples of the branch temples, are replaced every three years.
That is why,
Returning to Changchun Temple again, Yang Qingyun saw the familiar landscape and architecture, but the almost completely unfamiliar people, which undoubtedly made him feel that things had changed a lot.
This also caused Yang Qingyun to feel a little troubled.
Since the abbot of Changchun Temple was not there that day, and he did not recognize anyone in Changchun Temple, how should Bai Tiegen be allowed to enter the temple to practice? What was the procedure?
It is undoubtedly a troublesome thing.
But fortunately,
Not long after, Yang Qingyun met an old acquaintance from the same school.
"Are you Brother Yang, Senior Brother?"
A slightly plump figure was coming back from outside. When he saw Yang Qingyun in front of the door, he hesitated for a moment. After confirming that it was Yang Qingyun, he was about to start a conversation. Suddenly, he remembered the news he got from the family. His face suddenly became panicked. He bent down and bowed respectfully to Yang Qingyun.
The person who came is Qian Qianjin.
An old acquaintance of Yang Qingyun when he was at Changchun Temple.
Seeing this scene, Yang Qingyun was a little dazed.
When he was in Changchun Temple, he accepted the task of planting blood-essence rice in the temple. Thanks to the knowledge and experience he had accumulated in his previous life, and his willingness to work hard, the harvest of the blood-essence rice he planted exceeded the task by a lot, so he sold the extra blood-essence rice.
Qian Qianjin was the original collaborator.
At that time, Qian Qianjin joined the sect earlier than him and was older than him, so when communicating with him, he often called him Brother Qian or Senior Brother Qian, and their communication was also equal.
But now, several years have passed, and old acquaintances who were once equals in the past now have to bow respectfully in fear in front of him.
There was a hint of embarrassment and fear on his face.
At this moment, a touch of emotion flashed through Yang Qingyun's heart.
But he was an "old man" after all, and this feeling did not last long.
"Brother Qian, long time no see!"
"You and I were once from the same school. There's no need to be so polite."
Yang Qingyun spoke slowly, and at the same time waved his hand, and a force lifted him up.
But Qian Qianjin still didn't dare to look directly at him.
Lian Dao dare not.
Yang Qingyun sighed slightly in his heart.
Having once been at the same low level as him, he could naturally understand what the other person was feeling at the moment.
When faced with a powerful person whose strength and status are far superior to one's own, even peers who used to get along very well with each other can no longer be the same as before.
Just like Runtu in a certain great writer's work, the good friends who used to play together met again after decades.
The other person hunched his back and respectfully called out two words: Master.
However, the sigh in my heart was only fleeting and did not last long.
After all, Qian Qianjin was not his good friend, and the relationship between them was just that they knew each other and had done a few transactions together.
There is no particular bond between me and my friends.
So seeing that Qian Qianjin was still respectful, he did not force it.
Yang Qingyun chatted with him in a calm tone.
Perhaps because Yang Qingyun still behaved as peacefully as before, Qian Qianjin's mind gradually calmed down.
And Yang Qingyun also learned from the conversation that Qian Qianjin was still here.
It turned out that when he left Changchun Temple and was promoted to the sect, he sold the methods of producing high-yield blood-essence rice to Qian Qianjin. Although he then took over the task of planting blood-essence rice in the temple and gained some benefits, they were not much.
After all, in less than two years, he had already reached the age of eighteen.
According to the regulations of the branch academy, if a disciple in the temple is unable to be promoted to the outer sect disciple of Shengji Sect before the age of eighteen, he or she will be regarded as a member with insufficient qualifications and potential and will be expelled.
The land for growing blood-sperm rice also has certain requirements.
It is impossible for ordinary land to grow such rice that is full of vitality.
Although the family behind Qian Qianjin also has similar fields containing the power of the earth veins, there are not many of them, and many of them need to be used to grow medicinal herbs, which cannot fall on him.
If he left Changchun Temple, the knowledge and skills he had gained on increasing the production of blood-essence rice would be of little use.
So he handed over the knowledge and techniques of increasing the yield of blood-sperm rice to the family behind him, obtained some benefits from the family, and finally used these benefits and some of his own connections to obtain a manager position in Changchun Temple.
In this way, he was able to avoid the rule that disciples who failed to advance to the Shengji Sect before the age of eighteen would be expelled from the temple, and continued to stay in the Changchun Temple and grow blood-essence rice.
This is the reason why Qian Qianjin can still stay in Changchun Temple today.
Over the years, he had gained a lot of benefits from the knowledge and skills of growing blood-essence rice that he had bought from Yang Qingyun. Eventually, with sufficient resources, he successfully reached the level of internal organ training.
When talking about this, his face was full of gratitude.
