Chapter 149 Departure
Wen Siheng is now only one step away from the late Jindan stage. He is the eldest disciple of Piaomiao Peak, and holds several positions: ideological and political affairs, laboratory manager, and Ning Mingmei's exclusive barber. When various miscellaneous incidents occurred in the laboratory building, the disciples would look for him; Ning Mingmei would convey the master's orders, and he would issue them for execution; when his junior sisters and brothers had emotional problems, he would have careful conversations and guidance. Wen Siheng can be described as the big brother in the academic world and a workhorse in the ideological and political circle.
During the first month that Wen Siheng was away, Ning Mingmei assigned his tasks to the seventh and eighteenth brothers. Lao Qi wants to enter the system after graduation, which is a good training opportunity for him. Lao Shiba is a relative who is eager to start his own business and has always been cooperative and enterprising. A few days ago, he persuaded his father, a king of a different surname from the human race, to open up trade routes and build factories for Ning Mingmei on his fiefdom. The Eighteenth Prince knew that as a bastard, he could not inherit his father's title in the human world. He was determined to develop in the world of immortal cultivation, so he worked harder to bind himself to Ning Mingmei.
The two stumbled along for a month, but finally got back on track at the end of the month. As the one-month deadline approached, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Ning Mingmei was also looking forward to Wen Siheng's return.
It's time to cut your hair.
However, Wen Siheng, who was always punctual, did not show up at the gate of Qingji Sect on the appointed day. Not only that, Ning Mingmei also did not receive any reply to the email he personally wrote to inquire about Wen Siheng's scientific research progress.
Wen Siheng sank into the sea like a stone and there has been no news of him since.
A laboratory cannot be without a foreman. Ning Ming asked someone to inquire about the news. Xiangyang City is located in the northwest of the fairyland. It was once prosperous, but now it is an old but populous city. It's not easy to get information in a big city like this. Ning Mingmei waited and waited, but he only found out the current address of the Wen family.
I heard that everything in the house was normal, except that no one was there.
Wen Siheng had no reason to leave without saying goodbye, not to mention that Ning Mingmei still paid him several thousand yuan a month. Just being 007 can earn thousands of standard spirit stones. Who in the world would give up such a blessing? Ning Mingmei then came to a conclusion.
——Something happened to Wen Siheng.
Duan Ying also came to the same conclusion. After the Qingyan competition in the past, she and Wen Siheng actually became good friends. After that incident, Duan Ying's clever senior brother was punished, but as the protagonist who acted out of line, she was still in an awkward situation in Baiyun Peak. Seeing this, Ren Miao often brought her to Piaomiao Peak to sit. After a while, the relationship between them was even better than that between fellow disciples.
As anxious as Duan Ying was Chang Feichang's eldest disciple Mu Hanshan. Mu Hanshan and Wen Siheng are both senior brothers, and they had established a friendship as kings of the world through their frequent interactions. Every Monday, Mu Hanshan would bring the disciples of Qiansheng Peak to force Chang Feichang to abdicate and force the master to hold a group meeting for the disciples. This Monday, as soon as the group meeting ended, he came to find Ning Mingmei.
Besides these, there are several others.
"We must find Wen Siheng." Ning Mingmei made the final decision, "Since the people at Gongshantang are not doing their job well, we will send someone to look for him ourselves."
With Ning Mingmei's approval, everyone was delighted. Lao Wu said: "Master, I will take the lead this time..."
The head of Gongshan Hall came outside.
Gongshantang has the most dealings with the outside world. When Wen Siheng disappeared this time, Ning Mingmei asked Gongshantang to send someone to inquire about him, but they didn't get any useful information. He guessed that the hall master might have come to apologize.
But the hall master's expression was beyond Ning Mingmei's expectations.
The disciples watched Ning Mingmei and the hall master enter the inner room. After a while, the two men came out. Seeing the head of the Gongshan Hall leave, Lao Wu said, "Master, if there is no problem, I will pack up with the others and we can set off this afternoon."
Ning Mingmei shook his head and said, "No."
?
"I will go with you." Ning Mingmei said, "We will spend a day packing and set off early tomorrow morning."
Everyone looked at each other. Lao Wu said, "Master, why is it so sudden?"
"The head of the Gongshan Hall said that the disciple who helped us find out about Wen Siheng a few days ago has also disappeared." Ning Mingmei said leisurely, "Coincidentally, it's time to investigate the venue for the upcoming Sword Cultivation Academic Conference."
If I remember correctly, Xiangyang City is geographically very close to another extremely famous sword-cultivating sect, the Lingfeng Sect. In the world of swordsmanship, if Qingji Sect is ranked first, Lingfeng School must be ranked second.
The relationship between Lingfeng Sect and Qingji Sect has never been very friendly. If I were to explain the reason in detail, it would take three days and three nights, and it is difficult to verify in detail. Unlike the Qingji Sect which also has a sect that practices magic, the Lingfeng Sect only practices sword skills. Not only do they practice sword skills, they also forge swords, and they are quite proud of the "purity" of their sword skills.
When it comes to academic work, you can't just stay at home and not go out. Now that Ning Mingmei has taken control of the Qingji Sect, it is time to bring this system to the world through academic conferences.
That's how it was settled. Ning Mingmei returned to his palace to pack his luggage - now, he had renovated another palace behind the Snow-Cutting Palace and next to the snow cave. This area called Shiming Palace, connected to the snow cave, is Ning Mingmei's current residence.
There are burning stoves and incense sticks in the Shiming Hall, which is fragrant and pleasant all year round. Ning Mingmei casually sent an email to Lin Heting, asking him to remember to write the application and reimbursement materials for this trip and file them on Tiantai Peak, so that he could make the trip a government-sponsored one so that he could get reimbursed and he wouldn't have to spend his own money.
Afterwards, Ning Mingmei began to count the personal property that he was about to take out of Qingji Sect.
The first is an alloy sword produced by the Qiushi Sect laboratory of Piaomiao Peak. It is mixed with rare elements, and its chopping effect is even more amazing. The Yinbingge Laboratory even thoughtfully added an autonomous driving function to it. Ning Mingmei does not have to fly the sword himself, he can also ride the sword to the designated destination. It is the most essential item for home and travel.
As for swords, Ning Mingmei took seven at once and put them into his Qiankun bag.
Then there is the new blood-replenishing drink developed by Gui Ruoxue - Zhizhi Black Grapes. "Zhizhi Black Grapes" can make up for the lost spiritual energy and blood production in large quantities, replenishing both red and blue, and the taste is still so refreshing and sweet. Ning Mingmei also brought along various medicines developed by Gui Ruoxue and Wu Yun—and was careful not to bring along the new mushrooms sent by Xue Zhu, to prevent genetically modified species from invading Xiangyang City.
Faced with the last item, Ning Mingmei pondered for a moment.
What he held in his hand was a lotus lantern.
——The lotus lantern that was taken from the powerful man and once belonged to Weng Xingyun.
Under Gui Taoran's cultivation, the osmanthus trees in Guanghan Lake have grown into a forest, and the sweet fragrance of osmanthus fills the air over Piaomiao Peak. The Tongtian vine, which needs to rely on a sacred tree to grow, has never fought such a prosperous battle in its life and has achieved mass production.
Ning Mingmei used these vines to make the first box of wicks for the lotus lantern.
Ning Mingmei set up a secret passage in the snow cave, leading directly to his own laboratory in the back mountain. The restrictions here are strict and no one is allowed to enter except Ning Mingmei. It was here that Ning Mingmei put the wick into the lotus lantern and activated the spell mentioned in the notes.
The transparent glass lotus lantern lights up, the light green glow flows like jade, and the green is refreshing. In this gentle yet powerful force of "wood", even Ning Mingmei closed his eyelids comfortably.
Then, the scene next to the laboratory changed.
Piaomiao Peak is covered with snow all year round, and there are many dead trees broken by the heavy snow.
But at this moment, the dead trees are turning green in the severe cold. White flowers gradually grew and bloomed in the broken parts of the wood.
