"I heard that Junior Brother Zheng is going to give a lecture at the Talisman Arts Pavilion tomorrow."

Han Qi was walking towards Marketplace when the tall and thin man beside him suddenly said.

"Lectures?" Han Qi is a little curious, he really doesn't know about this. "Junior brother Zheng gives lectures?"

"Yes, I heard that he is now the lecturer of the Talisman Arts Pavilion." The tall and thin man said the information he had obtained.

"Then we have to go support Junior Brother Zheng tomorrow to avoid getting into trouble."

Han Qi thought for a moment before speaking.

"Senior brother, what do you mean?"

"Talisman Arts Pavilion It's not like you don't know that place, it's easy to cause trouble!" Han Qi said with a little worry, "Junior brother Zheng is still Qi Refining Realm after all. There is no problem in suppressing the new disciples of the Qi Refining Realm. However, those lecturers in the past were all senior brothers of the Foundation Establishment Realm. I'm afraid they will exclude junior brother Zheng."

The tall and thin man nodded silently and was about to speak again.

A man suddenly walked past him. This man kept his head lowered and his steps were hurried as he walked, as if he was afraid of staying on the road for too long and attracting attention.

He didn't seem to notice the Han Qi trio, and hit the tall and thin one hard.

The tall and thin man was caught off guard, stumbled forward, raised his head and glared at the man.

"Eh? Senior Brother Li?" the tall and thin man shouted, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

This Junior Brother Li is wearing a Nine Mountains Sect disciple uniform made of coarse cotton, and the cuffs are a little white from washing - this is also very rare in the Nine Mountains Sect.

Most Nine Mountains Sect disciples don't wash clothes very much.

On the one hand, even if they want to wash clothes, most people will choose to use Purification Talisman. A Yellow-grade charm can make people clean from the inside out - a bit like the effect of taking a shower with your clothes on and washing the clothes at the same time.

Of course, it's a clean version.

But more importantly, although the disciples at the bottom are considered poor in the Nine Mountains Sect, they are too rich compared to ordinary people.

Cotton cloth, a product that does not require spiritual materials to produce, is extremely cheap in Marketplace.

Nine Mountains Sect disciples often throw away their clothes when they are dirty and buy new ones.

Most of the disciples, except for those with quirks, actually dress decently.

But Han Qi and all three of them know that this Senior Brother Li is really poor.

Senior Brother Li looked up at the three of them, put his hands into his cuffs, and showed some embarrassment on his face.

"Senior Brother Li, what are you doing here?" Han Qi said with a smile and a friendly tone.

Senior Brother Li looked at Han Qi's current high-spirited expression, wearing the clothes of a Marketplace law enforcement disciple, and his face became even more embarrassed. He lowered his eyes and said, "I... I'm going to find some work on Marketplace."

"Senior brother, you have chosen a good day!"

Han Qi smiled.

"A good day?"

"Today there are many foreign monks in Marketplace, and they are willing to spend money! If you go to the dock for a day of work today, you can make two or three times as much money as before."

"Is that so?" Senior Brother Li seems to rarely go out. He is not sure about the changes in Marketplace now. "Then... three junior brothers, I will leave first."

"Brother, please slow down, don't be in a hurry!" Han Qi warned.

Watching him walk away, the tall and thin man suddenly sighed, "Brother, why do you think Senior Brother Li is living like this now?"

Han Qi was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "Actually, among the senior brothers we followed before, Senior Brother Li has the best character and is considerate... He also has good talent, but he always wonders about something Talisman Seals."

"I heard that this is Senior Brother Li's father, who is also our Nine Mountains Sect... and has something to do with Senior Sister Zhang's master?"

The tall and thin man said thoughtfully.

"Yes, Senior Brother Li's father is also a Foundation Establishment Realm monk, and their family has always been of the Senior Sister Zhang lineage." Han Qi explained, "It's just Senior Brother Li's father died because of that Talisman Seals bombing, and also killed several other disciples, and then he fell... Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Li was also addicted to it, and I am afraid that all his wealth was invested in it."

Seeing Senior Brother Li's bowed figure disappear into Marketplace, Han Qi couldn't help but sigh.

They had been with Senior Brother Li in the beginning, and to be honest, apart from being a bit poor, they actually lived quite happily.

Senior Brother Li has a good temper and doesn't go out much, so he doesn't bother anyone.

Usually I just let them run errands and so on.

Later, Senior Brother Li's life got worse and worse, and naturally he couldn't afford to support three people.

But everyone was able to get together and part ways easily.

Nowadays, his life is gradually getting better, and he feels a lot softer. Seeing Senior Brother Li getting more and more depressed, he actually feels some compassion that he didn't have before.

Senior Brother Li walked inside Marketplace, with his head lowered all the way and hardly looking at anyone.

He knew that as soon as he raised his head, he would see some unfriendly eyes - most of the vendors selling magic charms in Marketplace did not like him.

Since their father's death, this group of people have treated their father and son as a joke.

Senior Brother Li also knows that he cannot find a living in Marketplace.

Whether it's working as a clerk, working as a bookkeeper, or even doing simple chores and moving things.

As long as Nine Mountains Sect disciples know themselves, they will not choose themselves.

Those who don't know him will know him once others tell him.

Over time, none of the Nine Mountains Sect disciples among Marketplace will be able to hire themselves.

But he also has a way to make money - that is to go to the dock and find foreign disciples who don't know him.

You can also earn some daily necessities by leading the way or running some errands.

He walked through Marketplace and walked to the pier, only to realize that what the three Han Qi said was true - there were indeed many foreign monks on the pier.

Soon, a middle-aged monk who looked quite wealthy hired him and asked him to take him around the Nine Mountains Sect.

The middle-aged monk was walking around and asking questions. He seemed to be curious about the Nine Mountains Sect many things.

"Junior brother, do you know who came up with this Nine Mountains Sect free Jieyin Ship...?"

The monk asked him.

Senior Brother Li was startled. He had actually heard someone say this - he lived on the dock. Jieyin Ship This matter was considered big news on the dock.

"It seems... Junior Brother Zheng?"

"Zheng Fa?"

Unexpectedly, the monk immediately called out the name Zheng Fa.

Senior Brother Li was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly became wary.

He's not stupid, there's nothing wrong with it. He doesn't look like he's here for fun, but rather like he's trying to find out something.

Seeing his expression, the man said frankly, "To tell you the truth, I am in charge of Marketplace at the Thousand Grain Sect nearby. Your Marketplace is doing very well, and I also want to learn from it."

"To be honest, after watching it for so long, we can still learn from your free Jieyin Ship." The middle-aged man sighed, "But your drama... sigh."

"Drama?"

This is Senior Brother Li's knowledge blind spot. When the middle-aged man said this, he was a little confused, looking like he didn't know what a drama was.

"You don't know the drama? It was also created by Zheng Fa!" The middle-aged monk seemed to be in disbelief. He pointed at the amphitheater in the distance and said, "It's the one inside, it's very beautiful!"

He seemed to be from the Nine Mountains Sect, trying to sell Senior Brother Li: "I'm telling you, I originally wanted to watch it again... but I still want to watch it after watching it! I'll come back next month!"

Senior Brother Li was stunned. He glanced at the theater and murmured, "Is it so beautiful?"

"Oh... let me tell you this, junior brother." The middle-aged monk said with an envious look on his face, "Don't think that I am now in charge of Marketplace in the Thousand Grain Sect, and I am considered a figure, but when I think that you can watch the drama so conveniently and have internal tickets... I really regret not coming to the Nine Mountains Sect back then!"

"..." Senior Brother Li twitched the corner of his mouth, always feeling that the white Nine Mountains Sect disciple uniform he was wearing was worth a lot.

Suddenly I felt a little proud.

"I would say that you Nine Mountains Sect were better than us Thousand Grain Sect before, but the lives of ordinary disciples are similar! That's Zheng Fa. He came up with a lot of new things as soon as he came... I think he is a talented person who likes to play new tricks and can do tricks!"

When they parted, the middle-aged monk sighed again towards Senior Brother Li.

Senior Brother Li As he walked back, he kept thinking about this sentence for some reason.

The more I thought about it, the more impulse I felt in my heart.

Zheng Fa.

I like new things.

He rushed into Marketplace and found the three of Han Qi.

"I heard that you are now under Junior Brother Zheng?"

"Yes."

Looking at the eager faces of Senior Brother Li and Han Qi, the three of them were a little confused.

"Those three junior brothers, can you recommend them to me?"

Senior Brother Li said bluntly.

Early the next morning, Zheng Fa came to the Talisman Arts Pavilion.

When he walked into the courtyard gate, he felt a little emotional -

He has only been to this place three times.

Three times I came here as a new disciple.

I didn't expect that this fourth time I would become a lecturer - just a few months after I enrolled, Senior Sister Zhang asked me to be the principal. This feeling was really outrageous.

The students didn't come, but the lecturer did.

There are quite a few who come - it can be seen that many lecturers come because of him.

A new disciple of the Qi Refining Realm became a lecturer of the Talisman Arts Pavilion less than half a year after joining, which is really eye-catching.

Looking at the lecturers who were staring at him, Zheng Fa bowed solemnly and bowed his hands in a very low posture. "Junior brother is going to be a lecturer today and has little experience. If there is anything wrong - please give me some advice."

"No way, we have all heard about junior brother's Talisman Dao talent!"

"What's wrong with teaching? Let's communicate together!"

"We senior fellow apprentices must learn from you, junior fellow apprentice!"

Each of these senior brothers behaved more politely than the other, even a little humble.

Zheng Fa was even more embarrassed, and he continued modestly, "Junior brother doesn't quite understand the rules of the Talisman Arts Pavilion. If there is any offense, please forgive me..."

"We are all brothers with the same master, so what are the rules?"

Zheng Fa stood up and looked at the friendly and polite senior brothers in front of him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

Why Talisman Arts Pavilion there are so many disputes, why are the two disciples so incompatible with each other!

Why would any of my fellow seniors dislike me for my low cultivation level of the Qi Refining Realm and my rapid rise?

It's all slander from hostile forces outside!

Look at the atmosphere!

Isn't it great?

Senior Sister Zhang behind him looked at the scene of brotherly friendship, nodded, showed a smile that concealed his merit and fame, and walked out slowly Talisman Arts Pavilion.

Like a thigh passing by by chance.

It didn't take long before the disciples who came to listen to the talismans today gradually came.

Zheng Fa found an empty room and waited for the disciple to come.

Talisman Arts Pavilion On the surface, the rule is that students can choose their own lecturers, and they can listen to whose lectures they like. No one is forced to choose whom.

But the actual situation is that there are usually only two lecturers, one from the same lineage, so as long as the students are not rebellious to the point of bullying their teachers and destroying their ancestors, they have no choice.

For example, today, Zheng Fa represents the mentor of the Senior Sister Zhang lineage.

What Zheng Fa didn't expect was that the first people to come in today were several Talisman Debate Pavilion lecturers - including those from Uncle-Master Pang's lineage.

It can be seen that Senior Sister Zhang can make them polite, but it cannot make them Qi Ingestion.
