Liu An nodded and said, "You are sensible! But don't be too happy too early. Even if I don't cause trouble for you, it doesn't mean you can sit back and relax. How can these outer disciples not want to embrace the master's lap?" As long as the young master lets out a word, you will suffer endless hardships!"
Wandong smiled and said, "I'll be careful about this. Thank you to Deacon Liu for the tip!"
"Okay! Come with me, I will arrange a place for you first!"
The Lin family covers an area of tens of thousands of acres and has hundreds of thousands of mansions. Even outer disciples don't have to worry about not having a place to live. It's just that the residence of the outer sect disciples is certainly not comparable to that of the third-tier inner sect disciples, but it is better than that of ordinary people in Linyang City.
Liu An led Wan Dong around and around, and soon came to a small, slightly remote and deserted courtyard, saying, "You can live here and be Chen Jiping's companion!"
"Chen Jiping?" Wan Dong was muttering, when the courtyard door suddenly creaked and was opened from the inside, revealing a somewhat thin figure.
When this man saw Liu An, he was slightly startled for a moment, then immediately bent down with a smile and said in a very respectful voice, "Chen Jiping has met Deacon Liu."
Chen Jiping should be slightly older than Wandong, but there are limits to how old he can be. He is also a young man, but this Chen Jiping is a little less heroic and a little more sad, especially on his brows. He already has Sichuan lines at a young age, and he doesn't know that he is worried all day long. something.
"Chen Jiping, I see that you are alone and lonely every day. I will arrange a companion for you today. Come and meet me. This is Xu Yaoting. He will live with you from now on."
"I've met Brother Xu!"
At first glance, Chen Jiping seemed to be a cautious master. Even when facing Wan Dong, he did not dare to make any excuses and clasped his fists respectfully.
"Brother Chen is serious, just call me Yaoting from now on!"
"Well! You two should get closer and closer. I'll leave first if I have something to do!"
"Deacon Liu, wait!" Seeing Liu An about to leave, Chen Jiping hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him.
"Do you have anything else?" Liu An stopped and looked sideways.
Chen Jiping hurriedly and carefully took out a wooden box from his arms, opened it, and found a Qi Condensing Pill lying quietly inside. Although Wandong doesn't know how to make elixirs, he has been watching the white fire dragon making elixirs all day long, and he has also done some research on spiritual elixirs. The quality of the Qi Condensing Pill in the wooden box can be said to be very rough, and it can be said to be very different from the one refined by the white fire dragon. Seeing how Chen Jiping regarded it as a treasure made Wandong understand a little bit of the hardships faced by the outer disciples of the Lin family.
"Deacon Liu, I saved this and give it to you to thank you for taking care of Ji Ping!"
Chen Jiping was obviously reluctant, his eyes full of struggle, but in the end, he handed the Qi Condensation Sheet to Liu An.
Things like Qi Condensing Pill are basically useless to monks above the peak level of Xuanhen, but they are of great benefit to monks below the peak level of Xuanhen. Liu An coughed lightly, and without hesitating for too long, he put away the Qi Condensing Pill together with the wooden box. He said, "Jiping, I know it's not easy for you. Those boys from the Song family have indeed gone too far. Even I can't stand it. But, the power of the Song family is too great. Not to mention you, even me." I can’t afford to offend him. Let’s do my best to make peace with you, okay?”
“Then there’s Deacon Lao Liu!”
"Okay, okay, you two chat, and I'll leave first!" After saying that, Liu An turned around and left without looking back.
Chen Jiping looked at Liu An's retreating figure, his eyes filled with deep sorrow. I don't know if it's for something else, or for the Qi Condensing Pill.
"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Seeing that Chen Jiping couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, Wan Dong coughed lightly and asked.
"Huh? Oh, no...it's okay. Yaoting, let's go, I'll take you in first!"
Chen Jiping hurriedly introduced Wandong into the small courtyard. The courtyard is not very big, but it has been cleaned neatly and orderly by Chen Jiping. It looks very comfortable. The same is true in the room. Although the furnishings are simple, they are spotless. The windows are bright and clean. It can be seen that Chen Jiping is a very careful person.
There were a total of two beds in the room. Chen Jiping was using one, so Wandong naturally chose the other one.
Wandong didn't have any courtesy, and there was no need to tidy up. For Taoists, the simpler they are, the more they can return to their original nature. Chen Jiping didn't find it strange.
"Yao Ting, are you the new outer disciple of the Lin family?"
Wan Dong nodded, and Chen Jiping asked again, "Then did you go to get the Qi Condensing Pill?"
Wandong frowned and said, "No, no one told me."
"Oh, that may be Deacon Liu's negligence. Every new outer disciple who joins the Lin family can go to the 'Outer Sect' to receive a Qi Condensing Pill and a Junior Immortal Art. I will take you there now. Take it."
"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" Wan Dong was stunned. He didn't expect that he would receive such treatment after joining a second-grade family.
Chen Jiping smiled bitterly and said, "This is the foundation of a second-grade family, which is far beyond the reach of our third-grade family."
Hearing what Chen Jiping said, Wandong's heart suddenly jumped and he asked, "Brother Chen's surname is Chen. Could it be that he comes from the Chen family of the third-grade family?"
Chen Jiping immediately straightened up his expression and said loudly, "That's right! Our family leader's surname is Chen and his given name is Yi. He is a heroic woman among women. I believe Brother Yaoting has heard of it, right?"
really! As soon as Chen Jiping said these words, Wan Dong felt greatly inspired. He was worried about where to start looking for Chen Yi. Unexpectedly, he met a disciple of the Chen family as soon as he entered the Lin family. With Chen Jiping here, why should he worry about not being able to reunite with his mother
And when he learned that Chen Jiping was from the Chen family, Wan Dong became particularly close to him.
"I didn't know that Brother Chen turned out to be a disciple of the Chen family. My younger brother is so disrespectful. I ask Brother Chen to forgive me!"
Seeing that Wandong was respectful and polite, Chen Jiping was proud but also a little guilty. He shook his head and said: "Our Chen family was originally ranked among the best among the third-grade families, but due to changes in the family, the Chen family was divided into two. The head of the family led us to leave our hometown. He switched to the Lin family and is now in a difficult situation. Compared with those unworthy families, the Yaoting brothers are really exaggerating. "
Wan Dong had heard Xiao Lang talk about Chen Yi's situation a long time ago, so he was not surprised. He frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Brother Chen, there is no need to be depressed! I predict that the Chen family will have its blessings when all the hardships are over!"
"Haha... Then thank Brother Xu for your kind words!" Chen Jiping smiled reluctantly, obviously not taking Wandong's words to heart.
"By the way, Brother Chen, Deacon Liu mentioned the Song family before, so what is the background of the Song family?"
When Wandong mentioned the Song family, Chen Jiping's eyebrows clearly rose with a hint of anger. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "The Song family is the most powerful third-grade family in Linyang City, and it is also the most relied upon by the Lin family. Since we took refuge with the Lin family, the Song family has repeatedly made things difficult for our Chen family. My disciples of the Chen family have been... It's common for disciples to bully me. I just hate that the Song family is so powerful, and with the protection of Lin Rulong, the elder of the Lin family, I, the Chen family, have no way to complain. "
"Lin Rulong? Hum..."
Wan Dong is so smart, he can guess everything with just a little thought. The Song family has no enmity with the Chen family, so why should they be at odds with the Chen family? Wasn't it because of Lin Rulong's instigation that he bullied the Chen family in every possible way? The purpose was to force Chen Yi to submit and obey Lin Rulong. That's fine if Wan Dong didn't come, but now that he's here, Lin Rulong's conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed! And the Song family, since they are willing to be other people's slaves, don't expect a good ending!
"Stop talking, Yaoting, I'd better take you to the Outer Gate Office to get the Qi Condensing Pill first. But I think, even if you receive the Qi Condensing Pill, you won't be able to keep it."
"Brother Chen, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Yi shook his head and said: "Yao Ting, you don't know something. Among the outer disciples of the Lin family, several forces have long been formed. Isolated people like you and me are the targets of bullying."
"Ha! Listen to Brother Chen, the water at the outer door of the Lin family is really quite deep! Since this Qi Condensing Pill will fall into the hands of others sooner or later, I might as well not go and get it!"
"Do you think this is enough? If you don't get it, others will still find it on your head. At that time, you will be in more trouble. But if you get it on a monthly basis, and receive one piece every month, and pay filial piety to each other, then After years, the Qi Condensation Pill you receive will be yours. Besides, if you don’t receive the Qi Condensation Pill, how can you practice without the Immortal Secret Art? "
"So that's it? Hahaha... If that's the case, then Brother Chen, I'll trouble you!"
Chen Jiping nodded and said, "Yao Ting, please remember, after receiving the Qi Condensing Pill, you must first give it to the Xuefei Alliance. Among the twelve outer disciples of the Lin family, which one should you honor first?" , it matters which one you honor. If you mess up the order, not only will the Qi Condensation Pill be given away, but it will also cause greater trouble for yourself. "
Wandong couldn't help but sneered. No wonder the Lin family's outer disciples were not very good at cultivation. After a long time, they spent all their energy on these things.
"Is the Xuefei Alliance the most powerful among the twelve-point alliance?" Wan Dong asked calmly.
"That's not true! To say that the most powerful one is the Song Alliance! But the Xuefei Alliance is different from other branch alliances. All members of the alliance are female disciples. Women always have some privileges. Moreover, the leader of the Song Alliance Song Wen has an admiration for Zhang Xuefei, the leader of the Xuefei Alliance, and he set this rule in the first place."
"Haha...Brother Chen, if I hadn't been lucky enough to meet you and teach me so many rules, I think I would have been in big trouble!"
Chen Jiping smiled bitterly and said, "They are all degenerates from the end of the world, right?"
"Brother Chen, how long have you been entering the Lin family's inner door?" Wandong asked again.
Chen Jiping did the math and said, "It's been almost three years!"
"Three years? No, Brother Chen, if it's been three years, then the total number of Qi Condensation Pills you received should be thirty-six. Excluding the ones you gave to the Twelve Branch Alliance and Deacon Liu, you also There should be twenty-three. Twenty-three Qi Condensing Pills should be enough for your cultivation to reach the beginning of Xuanhen." (To be continued)
