" Fan Yunsong came to discuss business with me, but what's the story with his cousin?"
Chen Shuangbai carefully recalled the conversation just now and realized that during the conversation, Senior Sister Fan's eyes had been scanning her up and down several times.
This kind of look, coupled with a slight association with the sect, suggests that the sect does not prohibit disciples from forming dao companion.
And then there were the actions of those junior sisters and senior sisters who came from affiliated cultivation Lineage of sects...
Good heavens, is this guy here to find me a match?
Chen Shuangbai frowned slightly.
Such behavior occurs among every generation of disciples, and is basically an investment by the sect's affiliated cultivation Lineage; the sect does not prohibit it.
After thinking about it carefully, Chen Shuangbai roughly understood that Fan Yunsong had told the clan about his talent in alchemy, and as a result, the clan sent Fan Cailing to see him.
"But they never expressed that intention from beginning to end, so I guess they didn't like it..."
Regardless of whether he was chosen or not, Chen Shuangbai was unwilling to become the son-in-law of a wealthy family.
He cannot and will not do things that put him at the mercy of others!
"I am in the prime of my life, full of vigor and vitality. How can I waste my energy on romantic love?"
My heart is on the Way!
After thinking it through, Chen Shuangbai resumed his cultivation.
at the same time.
After leaving their cave abode Lesser Yang Peak, the Fan siblings arrived at Fan Yunsong's residence within the sect.
Fan Yunsong carefully placed the Dharma Contract close to his body, then turned to his Lineage sister and asked, "How is it?"
Fan Cailing said, "She treats people with a gentle and approachable manner, is cautious, and most importantly, has a beautiful appearance."
Fan Yunsong:?
"I'm asking if you've found someone you like?"
Fan Cailing decisively shook her head, "My goal is to cultivate myself. I'm content just to admire beauty. I have no intention of marrying someone else. Brother, please inform the clan and find another sister."
Fan Yunsong was not surprised by her answer.
Disciples who are sent by their clan to the Jade Spring Sect for cultivation are those with outstanding cultivation aptitude within the clan.
To be precise, Fan Cailing's talent for cultivation is even higher than Fan Yunsong's.
This matchmaking is really just a formality.
"Since you have no other ideas, then I will return to the Jue clan on your behalf."
"Then thank you very much, cousin."
A few days later, Fan Yunsong sent someone to deliver a large quantity of medicinal herbs. The person who delivered the herbs was also surnamed Fan, presumably a servant of the Fan Clan of Jing Valley.
The servant respectfully handed over the Storage Bag containing the medicinal herbs, then took out another Storage Bag and explained, "My master said there's a Pill Furnace inside; please don't refuse."
Having said that, he bowed and took his leave.
Chen Shuangbai first inspected the medicinal herbs. They were full of medicinal properties and plump, which proved that Fan Yunsong's earlier statement that the Fan Clan of Jing Valley could provide medicinal herbs in large quantities was not unfounded.
As for that Pill Furnace...
Chen Shuangbai poured it out, and a small cyan-gold furnace flew out, grew larger and larger, and landed on the ground with a clang.
At this moment, Fan Yunsong also sent a message through his disciple's jade token.
"Junior brother, this is Azure Gold Furnace, only of low-grade Law Artifact quality, not a valuable Law Treasure. Consider it an advance payment for this cooperation, so that you'll have Pill Furnace to use when you go down the mountain soon."
The worry is that after descending the mountain, without Pill Furnace, one won't be able to refine elixirs.
Since that was the case, Chen Shuangbai accepted it without hesitation.
He hadn't expected this, but Fan Yunsong had already thought of it for him and even solved it for him first.
"Good senior brother."
A few emotions welled up in Chen Shuangbai's heart.
He stepped forward and roughly refined the Pill Furnace with his Law Power. Just as Fan Yunsong had said, this item was a low-grade magic Law Artifact, so it was not valuable. It could be used to refine pills normally, but it did not have much value.
With a surge of Law Power, Chen Shuangbai stored the scroll in her Storage Bag and resumed her cultivation.
A few days later, Chen Shuangbai went to find Lu Zhiyuan.
Lu Zhiyuan claimed to have connections within the Expenditure Hall, but Chen Shuangbai never expected that these connections would actually belong to a jade-robed steward at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining of Qi Refining.
Moreover, this person's name was Lu Songting, who was a member of the Lu Lineage clan who had joined the Jade Spring Sect.
The Jade Spring Sect's sect system consists of three main halls and nine smaller halls.
The three halls are divided into one hall master and two deputy hall masters, who oversee the various sub-halls. Each sub-hall is further divided into three hall masters: one principal and two deputy principal hall masters. Below the hall masters are the stewards.
In addition, there are disciples who Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Foundation Establishment even the Great Perfection stage, but who have lost the qualification to attempt Foundation Establishment due to being unable to do so or due to some kind of hidden injury, and whose outer sect positions are full, they will be given a nominal position as an outer sect elder. They will receive a salary from the sect on a regular basis and will make contributions to the sect when needed.
The hierarchy of deacons is as follows: white robes are the lowest, followed by blue robes, then purple robes, and finally jade robes.
The fact that Lu Songting was able to sit in the position of Jade Robe Attendant in the Expenditure Hall shows that he had been working in the Expenditure Hall for many years.
"Uncle, this is Junior Brother Chen Shuangbai. Junior Brother Chen, this is Uncle Lu Songting, an elder in our clan, who serves as a Jade Robe Steward in the Expenditure Hall." Lu Zhiyuan bowed and introduced them with great respect.
Chen Shuangbai dared not be negligent and stepped forward to greet him.
The man before him, Lu Songting, appeared to be around forty years old. He had a lean face, a long beard, and a calm gaze, but his aura was slightly sharp, indicating that he usually commanded a number of ordinary servants.
"Outer disciple Chen Shuangbai greets Martial Uncle Lu."
Chen Shuangbai never hesitated to show politeness to those with higher cultivation levels than herself.
"No need for formalities, please sit."
Lu Songting raised his hand in a gesture of support, his voice gentle, and pointed to the chair beside him. In front of him was a large sandalwood desk, on which were placed many account books and Jade Slip, indicating that this position involved a great deal of work and was not a leisurely one.
His gaze fell on Chen Shuangbai, and after examining him for a moment, he nodded slightly. "Junior Martial Nephew Chen, you are so young, yet you have already reached the Qi Refinement Fourth Layer Refining. Your foundation is solid, your aura is pure, and it is even more remarkable that you have already shown your talent in Dao of Alchemy."
" Zhiyuan has mentioned you many times, saying that you are calm and composed, and have great potential."
"Seeing you today, you are indeed remarkable."
"You flatter me, Uncle-Master," Chen Shuangbai said modestly.
The two exchanged compliments for a while, and under Lu Zhiyuan's guidance, the conversation gradually got down to business.
"Uncle, Junior Brother Chen wants to ask if there are still any Water Moon Jade Crystal available for the outer sect this year?"
Lu Songting wasn't surprised. Instead, he summoned a servant, brewed a pot of tea, filled it for Chen Shuangbai and his nephew, and after taking several sips, slowly said, " Martial Nephew Chen, if I remember correctly, the hall recently sent a servant to deliver a box of Water Moon Jade Crystal to you... and you've already used it all up?"
Chen Shuangbai's mind raced as she began to ponder the meaning behind those words.
