I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 56: It’s Hard to Find a Confidant (Please Read!)
After knocking on the door a few times, Song Jie waited patiently outside the door.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and Ni Qinghong, dressed in silk clothes, appeared in front of Song Jie again.

Today, Ni Qinghong changed into a pink dress, which was a bit brighter than yesterday.

Looking at that exquisite face and graceful figure, she is indeed worthy of the word "beauty".

If it were an ordinary cultivator, he would have probably been seduced away by now.

It’s a pity that Song Jie is a man of strong determination, and beauties of this level are not enough to make him fall in love.

"Good morning, Fellow Daoist Ni~"

Song Jie smiled, put one hand across his chest, and nodded slightly.

"Good morning~ Fellow Daoist Song is a punctual person."

Ni Qinghong smiled politely and said, "Let's go without further ado."

"Okay." Song Jie nodded slightly.

The two of them didn't exchange much pleasantries. After a simple greeting, they walked together towards the house rental and sales office in Xinyuefang City.

On the way, Ni Qinghong suddenly asked, "Did Brother Song drink alcohol last night?"

When they first met, she smelled alcohol on Song Jie.

Although the smell was not very strong, she could still smell some of it.

Moreover, she also discovered that the clothes Song Jie was wearing today were the same as the ones he wore last night.

This means that the other person most likely did not return home last night and spent the night outside.

If a man does not return home at night and reeks of alcohol, he is most likely to have stayed overnight at Tianxiang Tower.

But Ni Qinghong remembered that she had never seen Song Jie in Tianxiang Tower, so she asked this question.

“I had a few drinks at a friend’s house last night.

"It is at Fellow Daoist Shi Lei's house next door to Fellow Daoist Ni's house."

"So that's it~" Ni Qinghong suddenly realized.

Thinking that Song Jie was introduced by Li Caiwei, I felt relieved.

Although she performed in Tianxiang Tower, she did not like men who took advantage of women for their own amusement.

Now that she was sure that Song Jie was not a lustful person, Ni Qinghong's expression instantly eased a lot.

"Fellow Daoist Song, I have another question that I wanted to ask last night."

"Oh?" Song Jie asked curiously, "Brother Ni, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Ni Qinghong pondered for a moment, considered her words, and then spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Song has already won the first place in the Popular Pill Competition and has the opportunity to join the Dan Ding Sect, so why do you still want to rent this house?"

In her opinion, Danding Sect and Tianxiang Tower are both among the five major sects in Yunmo Continent.

As long as you can join any of the five major sects, it means that your future will be bright.

If nothing unexpected happens, building the foundation shouldn't be a big problem.

As for the situation where Song Jie refused to join Danding Sect, Ni Qinghong had never thought about it.

In her opinion, no independent cultivator should be able to refuse the invitation from the five major sects.

She was willing to perform in Tianxiang Tower for many years just to get a chance to join Tianxiang Pavilion.

Now she has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work, and the road to building the foundation has been paved for her.

Faced with Ni Qinghong's question, Song Jie just smiled indifferently.

This was the fourth person to ask him this question.

The first one is Bao Xu, and the second one is Li Caiwei. Shi Lei also asked himself this question when he was drinking last night.

Now that Ni Qinghong also asked this soul-searching question, Song Jie didn't even think twice and directly brought out the answers he had given in the previous three times.

"The sect has many rules, and I am used to being casual. I think it is more comfortable to be a casual cultivator, so I used the opportunity to join the Danding Sect in exchange for other rewards."

Looking at Song Jie's indifferent expression, it seemed that what he was giving up was just a very ordinary thing.

Thinking back to how he had endured many years of hardship in Tianxiang Tower in order to join Tianxiang Pavilion, but Song Jie gave up the opportunity to join Danding Sect so easily.

Ni Qinghong didn't know what to say for a moment. "Fellow Daoist Song is indeed different from those vulgar men. He is a free and easy person. I admire him~"

Originally, Ni Qinghong looked down on Song Jie because she saw that he was only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.

Even though Song Jie had just won the first place in the Popular Pill Competition not long ago, it was still a relief to think that Song Jie won the first place with the help of the aphrodisiac pill.

Ni Qinghong felt somewhat disgusted.

After hearing what Song Jie said, Ni Qinghong's impression of Song Jie changed again, and she couldn't help but look at him with higher regard.

After all, it is rare to find independent cultivators who have the courage to give up the opportunity to join the five major sects.

It’s a pity that the cultivation base of the two of them is three levels apart. After I join Tianxiang Pavilion, my cultivation base will definitely improve faster.

However, as a casual cultivator, Song Jie does not have enough resources for cultivation, so it will be difficult for him to catch up with his own cultivation level.

The gap between their cultivation will only get bigger and bigger in the future.

Otherwise, she would still be willing to make friends with Song Jie and become a fellow Taoist with whom she could confide.

It is difficult to find a true friend on the long road of cultivating immortals.

Ni Qinghong sighed in her heart and said nothing more.

The two of them came to the housing rental and sales office in Xinyuefang City and completed the sublease procedures smoothly.

In the files of the House Rental and Sales Office, the tenant of that house was changed from Ni Qinghong to Song Jie.

When Song Jie handed over the deposit of ten spirit stones, Ni Qinghong also got back the ten spirit stones deposit that belonged to her as she wished.

After completing the sublease procedures, the two said goodbye at the door of the house rental and sales office.

Before leaving, Ni Qinghong promised that she would move out within two days.

After she moves out, Song Jie can move into his new home.

……

After leaving the house rental office, Song Jie did not go anywhere else and went directly to the cabin he was currently renting.

I pushed open the wooden door, walked into this simple wooden house, and looked around.

Looking at the almost bare room, Song Jie nodded.

"Fortunately, there isn't much that needs to be moved."

After traveling to this world, Song Jie spent most of his time busy refining medicine and practicing, and did not buy any new furniture.

Moreover, the cabin is not very big, and Song Jie does not have very high requirements for quality of life.

So even though it has been more than half a year since I traveled to this world, the layout of this room is still not much different from when I first traveled here.

"Daoyou Ni said that when she left, she would mainly take some clothes and belongings with her, and all the furniture in the house would be left behind.

"There's no need to move my old furniture over there, but you can take the two new pots with you."

Ni Qinghong is a person who pursues high quality of life, and the furniture in her home are all exquisitely crafted.

And it is well maintained and looks about 70% to 80% new.

Song Jie felt that he could just use the existing furniture and there was no need to buy new furniture.

The only problem is that the style of the furniture is more feminine, creating a warm atmosphere.

However, Song Jie is a pragmatist and doesn't care about it.

After some calculation, he found that he only needed to take some clothes and daily necessities, two newly bought large iron pots, alchemy tools such as pill moulds and winnowing baskets, medicinal materials that had not yet been refined into pills, pills, a three-piece stall set, secret books, pill recipes, spirit stones, etc., which he needed to take with him when he moved.

Other useless things can be discarded directly.

"Well, there is also the long sword made of black iron. I have to find time to go to the black market and sell it."

As soon as he said this, Song Jie felt that it seemed unsafe.

So he shook his head.

"Forget it. Try not to leave the market during this period. Wait until the incident at Black Wind Mountain is completely over, and then find a chance to sell the sword."

After making a rough plan for the move, Song Jie quickly got back to today's alchemy work.
