Chapter 16 An old friend visits

He quickly opened the door with the token, then ducked into the room and pushed the door shut with his backhand.

It was only then that he realized that his heart was beating violently, and even his back was wet without knowing when, and it was full of sweat.

He sat on the futon and stared at the door. He was lost in thought for a long time, and then he slowly came to his senses.

He felt that he encountered more things today than he had encountered in many years before. First he was picking up leaks, then selling elixirs, then he met Jie Cultivator, and then he personally ended the life of a monk. It was simply too exciting. Nervous.

"It seems that I have to come back early when I go out for shopping in the future. If I hadn't been lucky today and met Liu Changzhi who was in disguise and specifically arrested Jie Xiu, I'm afraid I would have been miserable today."

Thinking of this, he thought about the spoils he got tonight. Just when he was about to take it out of the storage bag and check it, he heard

"Bang bang bang"

The sudden knock on the door startled him, and he immediately jumped up from the futon, then walked to the door and asked in a panic:

"Who?"

"Fellow Daoist Xu, open the door. It's me, Wenshan."

Wenshan? It seemed that he had an impression that he was one of the few friends of his predecessor who was two years younger than him. He had come to visit him after he was injured.

However, some time ago, this kid heard that he followed his parents to the Tianjian Sect thousands of miles away to participate in the selection of disciples, but he came back again for some unknown reason.

With doubts in his heart, he opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a man with a graceful manner and outstanding temperament. Although his face still revealed a hint of childishness, he was still very handsome and attractive.

The handsome and aloof face, the eyes with cold stars on a winter night, the slanting handsome eyebrows, and the slender but not rugged figure were all comparable to his beauty.

Looking at Xu Feng who had been staring at him, Wenshan grinned and joked:

"Why, we haven't seen each other for two months and you still don't recognize me? Also, why don't you invite me in to sit with you?"

"Come in quickly, I haven't seen you for so many days, why are you acting like a human? I almost didn't recognize you just now. You have changed too much, haven't you?"

Xu Feng quickly turned aside and invited him into the house.

"Haha, I know you must be dumbfounded. In fact, you are not the only one. When I came back this time, everyone I met behaved similarly to you and lamented that I have changed too much."

Wenshan was not polite because he came here often. He took out a futon from his storage bag and sat down directly.

Seeing this, Xu Feng also sat on the futon and looked at him.

"How are you? How are you lately? Has the poison in your body been cured?" Wenshan was the first to ask about the current situation.

"It's okay. The poison hasn't been cured yet, but it's getting close. The spirit stones have basically been gathered. Once we have them all, we'll go to the alchemist to refine the detoxifying pill."

"Don't lie to me. I know the price of an antidote pill. It's at least two hundred spiritual stones. Where did you and Uncle Liu get so many spiritual stones?"

Wenshan obviously didn't believe it and looked like you should stop pretending.

"Really, I can now draw first-level low-grade talisman seals. Together with my master, it won't be easy to save two hundred spirit stones in a year? Don't worry too much about me. Let's talk about you. I'll see you as soon as I open the door. Your face is glowing, as if there is some happy event, please tell me!"

He didn't want to talk more about his own affairs, so he brought the topic to the other party.

"Hey, did you see it?"

"Nonsense, I'm not blind."

Xu Feng thought in his heart, but he didn't say the words. He just smiled and nodded to indicate for him to continue.

Next, Wenshan talked about what happened to him in recent months.

It turned out that since he and his parents left Fangshi, he, along with many children who went to participate in the selection, and their parents, traveled thousands of miles to the location of the Tianjian Sect's mountain gate.

A month ago, in the Tianjian Sect's selection competition for selecting outer disciples, Wenshan lived up to his parents' expectations and finally stood out, ranking among the top 100.

After passing the spiritual root test, bone age test, and identity investigation, he finally became an outer disciple of the Tianjian Sect of the Jindan sect.

Don't think that the outer disciples are not powerful. I heard that there are tens of thousands of young monks participating in the selection every time, but in the end, only less than a hundred are accepted.

Moreover, this kind of selection competition is not held every year, but once every ten years. There are also strict age restrictions on the age of those who participate in the selection, and they must not be more than twenty years old.

Hearing that his friend actually passed the selection of Tianjian Sect, Xu Feng was both happy and a little envious.

Thinking about himself again, he suddenly thought that he also had a system with him now, which was not comparable to ordinary people, so he just smiled and congratulated:

"Congratulations, you've finally made it through. You have three spiritual roots yourself. In addition, your parents are both weapon refiners and can help you. I think it won't be difficult to build a foundation in the future."

Hearing him talk about foundation building, the original smile on Wenshan's face immediately turned into a bitter smile, shaking his head and saying:

"Foundation building? How can it be that easy? I just came back after participating in the initiation ceremony. The senior brother in the sect told me that even though our Tianjian Sect is a big sect, the Foundation Building Pill is still very nervous. Like us As an outer disciple, the possibility of obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely slim.

Only before the age of twenty-five, if one reaches the late stage of Qi refining and becomes an inner disciple, and then has enough sect contribution points, can one switch to the Foundation Establishment Pill to build the foundation, and there is no guarantee of success. "

After listening to Wenshan's words, Xu Feng didn't know what to say, and could only pat his childhood friend on the shoulder to comfort him.

"By the way, after joining the sect, shouldn't you stay in the sect? How come you can come back?"

"It's a coincidence. The Tianjian Sect stipulates that outer disciples must complete a chore every year before they can continue to practice in the sect. If they fail to complete it, they will be punished.

When I accepted the task in the sect's task hall, I found that there was a task to inspect the sect's subordinate market. Although it took a long time, it was not difficult. So after paying tribute to the deacon who was responsible for task allocation, I got this opportunity.

You also know that the market where we have been living, although nominally under the management of the Liu family, the Tiangang Sect and the Loose Cultivator Alliance, they are all forces under my Tianjian Sect, so this place also belongs to the sect's subordinate market, so I came here and said goodbye to my old friends."

"So that's it. Did you come back alone this time? If so, it would be a bit dangerous. Although your current cultivation level is the fifth level of Qi Refining, you are alone. You may be targeted by a robbery cultivator."

Xu Feng reminded him, thinking of what happened to him tonight.

"Don't worry, in addition to my two senior brothers, my parents are also traveling with me this time. They are late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. Who is so blind as to dare to attack me?"

Wenshan didn't care. After successfully joining the Tianjian Sect, his confidence soared and his mentality was a little floating.

Then the two chatted until midnight, and finally drank some spiritual wine, which was specially brought by Wenshan.

The two people who drank spiritual wine for the first time didn't control themselves, and both fell drunk and slept on the ground for a night.
