Not long after, a dozen young men and women wearing white alchemy robes came to the alchemy altar talking and laughing.
Except for Fang Lin, Lu Xiaoqing and several other Dantong disciples looked at them in awe, with envy in their eyes.
"Elder Sun, we are here." More than a dozen people came to the short old man, and one of the young men raised his hands and said to the short old man.
The short elder nodded towards them, pointed at Fang Lin and the others, and said, "These are the Dantong disciples who have just started this year. You can choose for yourself."
After saying that, he walked aside with his hands behind his back.
More than a dozen official disciples turned their attention to Fang Lin and others, and all of them looked at Fang Lin and others with scrutiny.
Suddenly, except for Fang Lin, the other eight people became nervous. After all, the people standing in front of them were a group of official disciples, who were superior to them in terms of status as Dantong disciples.
Fang Lin had a calm look on his face. When others looked at him, he also looked at these official disciples without scruples.
Soon, Fang Lin noticed that many of the dozen or so people looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, and there seemed to be a bit of teasing in their eyes.
"What do you mean?" Fang Lin secretly wondered. He was just prettier than others, but he didn't think so of himself, right
The leading young man smiled, looked at Fang Lin meaningfully, and finally pointed his finger at another young man.
The young man suddenly showed a look of surprise and quickly bowed to the young man.
Others looked at him with envy. The young man obviously had a high status among the formal disciples, and it was an honor to be chosen by him.
"I chose him."
Another boy was chosen.
"You, come with me."
"Yes, you can follow me."
···
One after another Dantong disciples were selected as official disciples, and even Lu Xiaoqing was picked by a beautiful woman.
Only Fang Lin stood alone and was not selected by any official disciple.
It happened that all of these official disciples seemed to be interested in Fang Lin before, but in the end none of them chose him.
Fang Lin was very depressed. Could he be that bad
Fang Lin felt that there must be something wrong with the vision of these formal disciples. Yes, that's it.
When the short old man saw this scene not far away, he shook his head and sneered, secretly saying: "This Fang Lin offended that Kang Lu, and I still don't know what happened."
A group of formal disciples stood there, many of them looking at Fang Lin jokingly.
Fang Lin doesn't care. If you don't pick me, don't pick me. At worst, you can find another way.
At this time, the leading young man suddenly said to Fang Lin: "Are you surprised why no one chose you?"
Fang Lin nodded and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Why didn't you pick me? Haven't you heard that I am a dead tree that springs back to life?"
The formal disciples were immediately speechless. This Fang Lin was actually so thick-skinned. How could he recommend him like this
The young man sneered and said, "So what if you know? Someone has already said hello to us. We won't pick on you. If you don't want to have a difficult time in Zixia Sect in the future, you'd better go back and think about what to do." Bar."
After hearing this, Fang Lin finally understood that feelings were Kang Lu's handiwork.
Being able to have these official disciples help target him, Fang Lin was somewhat surprised by Kang Lu's energy.
"Fang Lin, in this Zixia Sect, especially in the Dan Sect, it doesn't matter, but it's difficult to move forward. Even if you have some talent, you still have to abide by the rules and don't be self-righteous." The young man said again, his words were mostly ridiculing and Disdainful.
Fang Lin was not angry and said with a smile: "May I ask this senior brother's name?"
The young man snorted softly. Although he was very disdainful of Fang Lin, he still said: "It doesn't hurt to let you know. My name is Shen Fu."
Fang Lin nodded and murmured to himself: "Shen Fu? This name doesn't sound like a good person."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked at Fang Lin as if he were an idiot.
Shen Fu's face darkened, and he raised his hand to slap Fang Lin.
"Ahem, this is an important place for the alchemy altar, so be careful in your words and deeds." At this time, the short old man not far away said while coughing.
Shen Fu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't make a move.
Fang Lin looked at him with a smile, as if he expected that Shen Fu would not actually take action.
"Fang Lin, you don't even know your own situation. It's really pitiful. Kang Lu can take care of you without me taking action." Shen Fu said to Fang Lin fiercely.
Fang Lin chuckled and said, "I'm just brave, there's no point in trying to scare me."
Shen Fu had a sneer on his face. He didn't want to waste words with Fang Lin, so he led everyone away.
"Wait a minute, Senior Brother Shen." At this moment, a timid voice sounded.
Shen Fu paused, turned around, and suddenly smiled: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Xu, what can I do?"
The young man surnamed Xu has an unattractive appearance. Although he is also a formal disciple, others can tell from the look in his eyes that he probably has no status among the formal disciples.
The young man named Xu hesitated for a moment, pointed at Fang Lin, and said, "I want to choose him to be my Dantong."
Hearing this, Fang Lin was secretly happy, but he didn't show any expression. The other formal disciples present frowned slightly.
Shen Fu looked at the young man named Xu coldly and said, "Junior Brother Xu, what do you mean?"
The young man surnamed Xu lowered his head slightly and said weakly: "I have been busy refining alchemy recently and need an alchemy boy to help me. I hope my senior brother can help me."
Shen Fu was unhappy and was about to stop him when he suddenly thought about it. Xu Shangao was also an unpopular master, and his level among the official disciples was at the bottom. Let Fang Lin follow this guy and learn from him. Less than something.
Moreover, if Fang Lin is not picked in the end, then it will probably be difficult for him and others to help Kang Lu suppress Fang Lin. It is better to fulfill Xu Shangao.
At that moment, Shen Fu smiled slightly, patted Xu Shangao's shoulder, and said: "Since Junior Brother Xu needs manpower, then Fang Lin will be left to you. You must sharpen this boy's energy and don't give it to us." Official disciples are in disgrace.”
Xu Shangao forced a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly to Shen Fu.
Shen Fu glanced at Fang Lin, snorted coldly, and then left with the other official disciples.
When Lu Xiaoqing followed the beautiful woman away, Fang Lin smiled.
Fang Lin also smiled at her.
"Junior brother Fang, come with me." Xu Shangao said to Fang Lin. His words did not have the arrogance of a formal disciple and seemed very peaceful.
Fang Lin looked at Xu Shangao. He looked to be in his twenties, average-looking, with a gloomy look on his eyebrows.
"Junior Brother Fang, what's wrong?" Xu Shangao asked in confusion when he saw Fang Lin staring at him.
Fang Lin said with a serious expression: "Senior Brother Xu, why did you choose me? Aren't you afraid of offending that hypocrite Shen Fu?"
Hearing that Fang Lin actually called Shen Fu a hypocrite, Xu Shangao was startled. He looked around and found that Shen Fu and the others were already far away and should not be heard. He was relieved.
Xu Shangao said slightly reproachfully: "How dare you say that? Senior Brother Shen Fu is not a good person."
Fang Lin chuckled and said, "Don't you think he is a hypocrite?"
Xu Shangao was speechless and could only avoid talking.
Xu Shangao sighed and said: "I just saw how pitiful you were, so I chose you to be my alchemy boy. However, you won't learn anything by following me. I am at the bottom among the formal disciples." That kind of person."
When Fang Lin heard this, he didn't care at all. He patted Xu Shangao's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's very valuable that you can face yourself."
Xu Shangao looked at Fang Lin strangely. It's too strange that you, a Dantong disciple, patted me, an official disciple, on the shoulder and said these words.
"Okay, come with me. I'm still busy refining alchemy." Xu Shangao felt that Fang Lin was a bit unique, but he didn't think much about it. He immediately took Fang Lin out of the alchemy altar and went to the official discipleship institute. place of residence.
Along the way, Fang Lin asked some questions about official disciples and learned a lot of news.
It turns out that formal disciples are also divided into three, six or nine levels, and each level is very clearly divided.
People like Xu Shangao are the lowest and lower-class disciples among formal disciples, while Shen Fu is the upper-class disciple.
Above the top disciples, there are also true disciples with a transcendent status. There are only three true disciples in the entire Alchemy Sect.
Xu Shangao was not only a lower-class disciple, but also relatively unpromising among the lower-class disciples. No one thought highly of him.
When they arrived at the small courtyard where Xu Shangao lived, Fang Lin was speechless. Sure enough, a formal disciple was an official disciple. The place where he lived was different. There was also a separate small courtyard. He was really envious of Fang Lin.
The yard is not big, but there are many herbs planted. As soon as you enter the yard, you can smell the unique smell of herbs.
Fang Lin glanced at it and remembered all the herbs in his heart. He looked at Xu Shangao again and had some appreciation for this person.
"Although this guy has no future, he is quite good at growing herbs." Fang Lin said in his heart.
The herbs in the yard are growing well. Obviously, Xu Shangao spends a lot of time on these herbs.
When Xu Shangao saw Fang Lin looking at the herbs in the yard, he smiled and said, "I grew these myself. Just take a look, but don't damage them."
Fang Lin chuckled and said, "It's okay if it's broken. I'm like a dead tree that springs back to life. Even if it's broken, it can grow back."
Xu Shangao was speechless for a while, but Fang Lin was right. The body of dead wood has a unique effect on medicinal herbs.
"I want to make an elixir. Just stay in the yard for a while. Don't disturb me by entering the house." Xu Shangao warned.
"Anyway." Fang Lin responded, Xu Shangao nodded, and then opened the door and entered the house.
Fang Lin was bored in the yard, looking left and right. After a while, there was a bang from the house. Fang Lin turned around and saw Xu Shangao walking out of the house with a dark face.
"Senior Brother Xu, what's wrong with you? Are you looking so ugly?" Fang Lin laughed and asked deliberately.
