"I haven't asked my fellow Taoist how to address him yet?" Ye Zan asked the person from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect.
"I am Xun Hongwen of the Danding Sect." The member of the Danding Sect quickly replied.
"Oh, thank you Taoist friend Xun for your kindness. The environment of this inn is not bad. I won't bother you anymore. I also ask you to reply to your command. In a few days, I will definitely go to see you. Thank you in person." Ye Zan declined the invitation politely.
The other party said that they had arranged a place to stay. With the ability of the Alchemy Sect, the conditions of the place would definitely be much better than that of the inn. However, after all, you are on someone else's territory, so you will still feel a little restrained, and it is difficult to feel as comfortable as in an inn.
Xun Hongwen gave some more words of advice. Seeing that Ye Zan really didn't want to move, he said helplessly: "Forget it, I'll just follow my Taoist friends and tell my master when I get back."
At this time, Liu Qian's junior brother couldn't bear it any longer. He stepped forward and said to Xun Hongwen, "I met Taoist friend Xun in Xiajiang Ziliu."
You must know that for the vast majority of alchemists, the Alchemy Sect is like a holy land of alchemy, and few people dare to be disrespectful to the people of the Alchemy Sect. Although Jiang Ziliu looked like a proud rooster in front of Ye Zan and Liu Qian just now, in front of Xun Hongwen, all trace of arrogance disappeared.
In fact, not to mention people from these small sects, even those disciples from large sects, even people from the demonic path, few dare to offend the Alchemy Sect.
Xun Hongwen didn't listen so carefully just now. He just heard them mention Yuqing Sect, so he came in and asked. When he saw Jiang Ziliu greeting him, he thought he was with Ye Zan, so he politely returned the greeting and said, "I've met fellow Taoist Jiang."
Jiang Ziliu then turned to Ye Zan, gave the same salute, and said: "This fellow Taoist Ye, I really don't know the name of the Yuqing Sect. My previous words were offensive. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist."
You actually apologized? Ye Zan was a little surprised, but after thinking about Mo Rushi just mentioned, it was not surprising that the other party's attitude changed drastically.
After all, the Lishan Sect is just a third-rate sect. If you offend a second-rate sect, you will definitely feel guilty even if you are thousands of miles away. So what if there are thousands of mountains and rivers? For a powerful soul, can this distance be considered far
However, Ye Zan did not return the favor or say any polite words, but looked at Liu Qian next to him. If the other party only offended Yu Qingzong with his words, since he has apologized, he will not care about anything anymore. However, it is obvious that this matter has something to do with Liu Qian and is far from a matter of verbal offense.
Seeing that Ye Zan looked at Liu Qian but did not accept his apology, Jiang Ziliu's expression changed slightly, he straightened up and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye, there is something that I mean well, but I have to remind you that Guizong may have been tricked." The villain was deceived."
"Hey, what do you mean by this?" Ye Zan asked strangely.
Not only Ye Zan, but also Xun Hongwen was full of curiosity, forgetting that he had to go back to his master. Moreover, Xun Hongwen also saw that Jiang Ziliu and Ye Zan were not in the same group, and they were obviously a bit difficult to deal with. Then, he can't leave like this. It depends on how things develop. He may have to step forward when necessary.
Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, Jiang Ziliu smiled proudly, glanced at Liu Qian next to him, and said sarcastically: "The person I'm talking about is none other than my Senior Brother Liu. I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't know yet, this Senior Brother Liu , because he was not very talented in alchemy, but he was very ambitious. I think back then, my master asked him to lay a good foundation, but he was dissatisfied and stole his alchemy scripture and left. "
"Fart, that Alchemy Sutra belongs to my Liu family. The old man accepted me as his disciple because he coveted the Alchemy Sutra of my Liu family. After getting the Alchemy Sutra, he refused to teach me any of my alchemy skills, and even called it a beautiful name. Lay a good foundation, it’s so shameless!” When Liu Gan heard this, he couldn’t hold back his anger and cursed loudly.
"Shut up. If it weren't for the love between master and disciple, my master would have had you captured long ago. I wouldn't have allowed you to go around and cheat." Jiang Ziliu's momentum was not weak at all.
"Haha, the relationship between master and disciple, the old man sent people to hunt me everywhere. If I hadn't hidden half of the alchemy book, I would have been dead!" Liu Qian said with an angry smile.
This is really a confusing account. At least to outsiders, both sides seem to be confident in their speech, and it is impossible to tell who is lying. Even though Ye Zan has micro-expression recognition, this thing is not omnipotent. If a liar does not truly believe that he or she is lying, then all lie detection methods will be ineffective.
When a person believes that all lies are truth, then he will not have the micro-expressions of lying, nor will there be any changes in heart rate and blood flow.
Therefore, some people often say that the highest level of lying is to lie to yourself.
However, from the bottom of his heart, Ye Zan believed in Liu Qian, so he looked at Jiang Ziliu with a somewhat evil look in his eyes, and said: "How is your school? I don't care who is telling the truth. But, You said that I, Yu Qingzong, have been deceived, so it’s best to say it clearly.”
"I made Fellow Daoist Ye laugh. I just thought of how my master had been sighing all day since he left, and I felt a little excited for a moment." Jiang Ziliu cupped his hands, looking polite, and then said: "I said before that this senior brother of mine is not very talented in alchemy. This is not a lie."
Jiang Ziliu paused for a moment, looked at the growing number of people around him, and then continued: "Years ago, when I came here to attend the Alchemy Conference, I heard news. It was said that there was a person who was an alchemist himself. His Taoist skills are extremely poor and he can only refine one kind of elixir, so he got the title of alchemist, but after being invited by a sect, he discovered his prototype and was kicked out. "
After finishing speaking, he saw that everyone around him seemed to be guessing, so he nodded, pointed at Liu Qian, and said, "Yes, that person is my senior brother, and that sect is the Lishan Sect where I am now!"
As soon as Jiang Ziliu said these words, there was an uproar around him. I don't know if it was just to join in the fun or if someone really remembered such an incident.
But after hearing this, Ye Zan somewhat understood why Jiang Ziliu had always believed that the Yuqing Sect was an inferior sect. Just think about what kind of sect would allow an alchemist to be an elder? You must know that Liu Qian is the elder of Yuqing Sect in his capacity as a master of alchemy. The identity of this alchemy master has not actually been verified by the alchemy conference.
Of course, this also shows how embarrassed Yu Qingzong was at the beginning. I couldn't find a real alchemy master to preside over the alchemy hall, so I could only find a capable alchemy master like Liu Qian.
Looking at Liu Qian again, his face turned red, his fists were clenched, and his chest was heaving violently. After a long time, he calmed down, looked at Jiang Ziliu, and said coldly: "When the old man heard that I was in the Lishan Sect, he forced people to expel me from the Lishan Sect. He was smearing me behind his back. They continued to pursue me. I escaped all the way to the north, and was seriously injured and was saved by True Lord Hushan. Only then was I able to settle down and study alchemy. But this time, I not only wanted to prove my title as a master of alchemy. Live up to his reputation, and even more so, he must take on the title of master and demand justice from that old man.”
In this world, the alchemist's status is quite special. Although in the same realm, the strength of an alchemist is obviously inferior to that of ordinary practitioners, but ordinary practitioners rarely dare to take action against the alchemist, because that means provoking the alchemist as a group.
And Liu Qian's master is obviously a master of alchemy, which is not something ordinary people would dare to touch. To put it bluntly, even if what Liu Qian said is true, I am afraid that most people, even the Alchemy Sect, will still favor his master. Who calls him a master of Alchemy
Therefore, Liu Qian never said that he would let others seek justice for him. And his own way to seek justice is to have an identity that is not inferior to that of the other party, so that he can receive the so-called fair treatment. Therefore, no matter where you are, you must strive for fairness yourself and cannot expect charity from others.
"Hahaha!" Jiang Ziliu laughed, and turned to Ye Zan and said, "Did you hear this, fellow Daoist Ye? I have said it before, this person is so ambitious, he is not even a master of alchemy, and he still wants to covet the title of grandmaster. It’s simply unbelievable!”
"Haha," Ye Zan also smiled, but said unceremoniously: "I can't be called your Taoist friend. As for Elder Liu of our sect, can he get the name of Alchemy Grandmaster? I don't care about him. Still quite confident.”
"Uh..." Jiang Ziliu choked and felt a little unable to get off the stage. But thinking of the status of the Yuqing Sect, especially when there were people from the Danding Sect beside him, he did not dare to express his anger, so he could only say in a cold voice: "Okay, okay, let's wait and see, I want to take a look. How can an abandoned disciple become a master of alchemy?"
After saying this, Jiang Ziliu couldn't stay any longer, turned around and walked out of the inn with his people.
At this time, Ye Zan turned around and said to Xun Hongwen: "Fellow Taoist Xun, I have something to ask you."
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist. If there's anything I can do to help, please tell me." Xun Hongwen quickly replied.
"I know that the Alchemy Sect has always upheld justice for the grievances between alchemists. Previously, Elder Liu of our sect was only the Alchemy Master. If he wanted to seek justice from that Alchemy Master, he would probably have to let the Alchemy Master The Ding Sect is in a dilemma. However, if Elder Liu proves that he is worthy of the title of Alchemy Master this time, I wonder if the Alchemy Sect can give him justice in this matter? "What Ye Zan said? I asked, but it was actually a bit too much. After all, everyone knew some things, but it wouldn't be nice to say them out.
However, Xun Hongwen didn't know what explanation he received from his master, but he didn't mind it at all, and said with a serious face: "Fellow Daoist Ye, please rest assured, if what Elder Liu said is true, even if we don't have the name of a master, we, the Danding Sect, have the obligation to do it." He delivers justice."
After hearing this, Liu Qian looked at Ye Zan with gratitude in his eyes. In fact, even if he really becomes a master of alchemy, he may not be able to seek justice on his own. After all, the other party has been a master of alchemy for many years, and his various relationships are far beyond his comparison.
