I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 122: Immortal Pill Discussion Conference
Hearing someone calling him, Song Jie immediately turned around and looked.

I saw a middle-aged man walking towards me.

Looking at the middle-aged man's appearance, Song Jie felt vaguely familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

But for a moment, I couldn't remember who the other person was.

Before Song Jie could ask, the middle-aged man spoke first: "It's you, I didn't expect to see you here.

"After so many years, you look the same."

Looking at Song Jie's still youthful appearance, a hint of jealousy suddenly appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

Listening to the other party's sour tone and looking at the jealous expression, Song Jie immediately thought of who this person was.

Zhang Wanquan.

He was once an alchemist at Baodan Tower, and later joined Danding Sect through the Popularity Pill Competition.

I didn't expect that after more than ten years, the other person has become a middle-aged uncle, and seems to have gained a little weight.

Song Jie almost didn't recognize him.

Although he recognized the other person, Song Jie still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Zhang Wanquan?"

"It's me." Zhang Wanquan snorted coldly and said, "What are you doing here?
"Could it be that you regret giving up on joining the Danding Sect and now want to participate in the entrance trial?

"If that's the case, I advise you to give up this plan as soon as possible.

“This time, our sect is recruiting disciples from outside, but only those under the age of 20. With your age, you are not even qualified to participate in the trial.

“Also, I have good news for you. I am now an outer disciple of Danding Sect.

"It's a completely different identity from who I used to be."

Looking at Zhang Wanquan raising his chin slightly and looking smug, Song Jie always found it a little funny.

Even after more than ten years, this guy still has the same personality and hasn't changed at all.

It seems that this guy hasn't had a very smooth life these years.

The identity of this outer disciple must have taken a lot of effort on his part to obtain, so he couldn't help but show off as soon as he saw me.

A truly capable person will not bother to show off his assets actively; it is others who help him to show off.

Song Jie sneered in his heart, but on the surface he deliberately showed an expression of surprise and a hint of envy.

“I never thought that Fellow Daoist Zhang has been promoted to an outer disciple of Danding Sect in just a dozen years. This is truly admirable.

“I’ve heard from others before that it’s quite difficult for outer disciples of the five major sects to advance to higher levels.

"It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang has been doing very well in Danding Sect over the years."

When facing an idiot, Song Jie's usual approach is to agree with the other person, praise the other person, let the other person indulge in his own world, and finally turn the other person into a big idiot.

Sure enough, after hearing Song Jie's words with a hint of flattery, Zhang Wanquan's mouth corners raised even higher, and his face was full of pride.

He said without any modesty: "Of course, no matter what, it is definitely better than you being a casual cultivator outside."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang is right."

Song Jie deliberately acted ashamed.

Seeing this, Zhang Wanquan's inner vanity was further satisfied.

Judging from Song Jie's performance, it seems that he has not had a very good time in recent years.

This made Zhang Wanquan feel a lot more balanced. Although he was just doing averagely in Danding Sect, when he thought that Song Jie was doing worse than him, his mind immediately became open.

He immediately asked: "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what are you going to do in Danhua Town?
"This place is not that close to Xinyue Market. You came all the way here. You don't really want to participate in the entrance trial of Danding Sect, do you?"

"Yes." Song Jie nodded and said, "To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I did come here for the Danding Sect's entrance test.

"But it's not me who will be taking part in the entrance trial, but my godson."

"Godson?"

Zhang Wanquan was slightly stunned, then looked at the young man standing behind Song Jie.

He did notice the young man just now, but he thought he was Song Jie's servant.

What he didn't expect was that Song Jie, this good-for-nothing, actually adopted a godson.

Zhang Wanquan sneered inwardly and said, “Then I will wish you good luck here.

"Unfortunately, this time, the matter of recruiting external disciples for our sect is handled by the sect master's personal disciple, Senior Sister Mu.

"Otherwise I can help you get in through the back door."

Song Jie immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Wanquan's words.

It's not that I'm incompetent, it's just that the person in charge of recruiting disciples this time is in too high a position, so I can't help you get in through the back door.

Song Jie didn't take Zhang Wanquan's words to heart.

He didn't expect the other party to help him from the beginning.

After all, Zhang Wanquan is just an ordinary outer disciple and doesn't have any special abilities.

From the other party's smug look, it can be seen that he is not doing very well in Danding Sect.

Song Jie smiled in his heart and said, "Thank you for the blessing, Brother Zhang.

"It's getting dark, and we haven't found a place to stay yet. Let's catch up with Friend Zhang when we are free in a couple of days."

When Zhang Wanquan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"You guys are looking for a place to live?"

"Yes."

“I can recommend you a good place...

"But you should have seen the situation these days. The prices for hotels are not too cheap."

When Song Jie heard this, he reacted immediately.

Zhang Wanquan wants to earn his spirit stones.

However, Song Jie really needed to find a place to live as soon as possible, so he did not refuse Zhang Wanquan.

As long as the price of the hotel is not too expensive, he can accept it.

Just when Song Jie was about to ask Zhang Wanquan to take him to see it, he saw a woman walking straight towards him out of the corner of his eye.

"Fellow Daoist Song, it is indeed you~"

When Song Jie and Zhang Wanquan heard the sound, they turned their heads to look to the side almost at the same time.

"Senior Sister Mu!"

When Zhang Wanquan saw the person coming, he immediately bowed his head and saluted the other person.

Song Jie looked at the pretty woman standing in front of him with surprise.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Friend Mu, long time no see~"

The person who came was Mu Lingxuan, the direct disciple of the Danding Sect’s leader that Zhang Wanquan had mentioned just now.

It was also Mu Lingxuan who had met Song Jie once in the Shiwanda Mountains.

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Mu Lingxuan still looks to be in her twenties. Compared with those years, her appearance has not changed much.

Her temperament has changed slightly, and she is much more mature than she was more than ten years ago.

Invisibly, there seems to be a hint of majesty emanating from it.

Mu Lingxuan nodded slightly to Zhang Wanquan, then turned to Song Jie and said with a smile, "It's been many years since we last met. Brother Song is still as elegant as ever."

"Friend Mu has changed a lot and has become even more beautiful."

Hearing Song Jie's praise, Mu Lingxuan's pretty face blushed slightly.

Zhang Wanquan, who was standing by, was in disbelief. His heart was in turmoil and he couldn't calm down at all.

He never imagined that Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan actually knew each other.

That is Mu Lingxuan, the first alchemy genius in the history of Danding Sect, the direct disciple of the Sect Master of Danding Sect, and the strongest contender for the next Sect Master of Danding Sect.

There was no telling how many disciples of the Danding Sect were eager to speak to Mu Lingxuan.

Even just seeing Mu Lingxuan made him so excited that he could hardly control himself.

For the vast majority of Danding Sect's disciples, Mu Lingxuan is a real fairy.

It is an existence that is beyond their reach.

His talent, appearance, status...all far exceeded those of ordinary Danding Sect disciples.

Even Lin Youtian, the direct disciple of the sect elder, was trembling with fear when facing Mu Lingxuan.

But even with such a genius-level figure, Song Jie was able to chat and laugh with him, and it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.

When Zhang Wanquan thought about how he had just shown off his status as an outer disciple in front of Song Jie, he felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred grew uncontrollably in his heart.

Why can a casual cultivator like Song Jie chat and laugh with Senior Sister Mu, but an outer disciple of Danding Sect like me cannot even be treated in the eyes of Senior Sister Mu...

All kinds of resentful thoughts about the injustice of heaven arose in Zhang Wanquan's mind.

On the other side, after exchanging a few words with Song Jie, Mu Lingxuan lowered her head to look at Jin Jiao who was following Song Jie.

"Little guy, do you remember me? We meet again~"

Jinjiao tilted his neck and looked at Mu Lingxuan with a silly face, as if he was wondering when he had met her before.

After living with Song Jie for more than ten years, Jinjiao, the beast of luck, can already understand human language, but he still cannot speak.

It looked at Mu Lingxuan and felt vaguely familiar, but the memories of its childhood had become very vague.

I just couldn't remember who the other person was.

However, from the conversation between Mu Lingxuan and Song Jie, Jin Jiao has deduced that the other party must have seen him when he was very young.

So, out of politeness, Jin Jiao opened his mouth and greeted Mu Lingxuan.

"Ow~"

Looking at Jinjiao's cute look, two shallow dimples immediately appeared on Mu Lingxuan's face.

Smiling, he asked Song Jie, "Fellow Daoist Song, what name did you give this unicorn beast?"

What? A unicorn?

Zhang Wanquan, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard this.

As an outer disciple of the Danding Sect, Zhang Wanquan had naturally heard of the unicorn beast.

This is the most popular fortune beast among alchemists, and it is also the fortune beast that countless alchemists dream of.

Even in the Danding Sect, as far as Zhang Wanquan knew, there were only two unicorn beasts in total.

One belongs to the leader of Danding Sect, and the other belongs to the great elder of Danding Sect.

As an outer disciple, Zhang Wanquan naturally had no chance of getting close to the leader and grand elder of Danding Sect.

Not to mention seeing the unicorn beast they raised.

After more than ten years in the sect, he had never even seen the shadow of the unicorn.

He never thought that Song Jie, whom he had always looked down upon, actually raised a rare unicorn beast.

How could this not shock him.

Looking at the unicorn beast squatting at Song Jie's feet, Zhang Wanquan's heart was extremely uneasy.

If Mu Lingxuan hadn't been standing in front of him, jealousy would have completely disfigured him.

Suddenly, Zhang Wanquan felt the disparity in the world and began to complain in his heart about the injustice of the world.

Why are they all from Baodan Building? Not only can Song Jie get to know Mu Lingxuan, but he also owns a unicorn beast.

And he worked very hard and served as Lin Youtian's lackey for more than ten years before he managed to become an outer disciple.

Why can't he just switch places with Song Jie?
why?
……

Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan naturally didn't know about Zhang Wanquan's wonderful inner drama, nor did they have any interest in trying to figure it out.

Song Jie smiled slightly and said, "It's called Golden Horn."

"Golden Horn." Mu Lingxuan pondered the name for a moment, then smiled and said, "The name chosen by Fellow Daoist Song can be said to be the ultimate simplicity."

Song Jie laughed and said, "Why did Fellow Daoist Mu come to Danhua Town?"

"Danhua Town is a town built by Danding Sect. As a disciple of Danding Sect, isn't it normal for me to appear here?"

Mu Lingxuan blinked her lively eyes and asked, "Fellow Daoist Song, are you here to attend the 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference' held by our sect?"

"A conference on the discussion of immortal pills?"

Song Jie looked confused.

"So Fellow Daoist Song didn't know about this..." Mu Lingxuan smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. Since Fellow Daoist Song is here, you can also take part in the 'Immortal Pill Discussion Conference' held by our sect.

"Fellow Daoist Huangfu happens to be here too, so you two can have a good exchange."

"Daoyou Huangfu is here too?"

Song Jie looked surprised.

Who else could it be other than Huangfu Shen, the Taoist friend Huangfu that they both knew?

Huangfu Shen, who had been missing for more than ten years, actually came to Danding Sect to join in the fun.

"Yes~" Mu Lingxuan nodded and said: "I received a message from Daoist Huangfu, so I went down the mountain to Danhua Town and took him to the guest residence to register.

"Just now I was talking with Daoist Huangfu about Daoist Song, and I felt sorry that Daoist Song didn't come.

"I never thought that I would run into Fellow Daoist Song on my way back to the sect."

Song Jie suddenly realized, "I see. I didn't expect that Daoist Huangfu is here too. It just so happens that I have something to ask him."

"Then Brother Song, please follow me. I will take you to the guest accommodation to register."

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Mu."

Immediately, Song Jie brought Shi Ning and Jin Jiao, followed Mu Lingxuan, and walked towards the residence of the guests of Danding Sect.

Zhang Wanquan was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

Looking at Song Jie's figure getting farther and farther away, Zhang Wanquan felt mixed emotions.

The whole person was like a deflated ball, completely devoid of spirit.

He couldn't help but start to doubt himself, wondering what all his efforts over the years were for.
Is it worth everything you have paid for...

When he first met Song Jie, he felt that he and Song Jie were no longer in the same circle.

Only now did he realize that he and Song Jie were indeed not from the same circle.

He didn't know how Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan met, but no matter what, he knew that Song Jie was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

……

On the other side, Song Jie and Mu Lingxuan walked side by side on the streets of Danhua Town.

Mu Lingxuan turned her head and glanced at Shi Ning who was following behind Song Jie.

He asked, "Fellow Daoist Song, may I ask who this person is..."
