I have a proficiency panel for alchemy and immortality

Chapter 88 Theory of Cause and Effect
When the three rushed to Song Jie's residence, they saw an erotic scene.

Or it’s okay to say that the pictures are eye-catching.

The three of them stood on a high place and saw a picture of Song Jie bathing through the open bathroom window.

"..."

The originally nervous mood took a 180-degree turn in an instant, and each expression on their face became more exciting than the other.

For a moment, no one spoke.

After a long while, Lin Yunhe laughed slightly awkwardly.

"It seems our worries are unnecessary."

It was he who first suggested coming over to find out what was going on, so it was natural for him to speak first to break the awkward atmosphere.

Wan Tiannan laughed and said, “No matter what, Song Jie has indeed been targeted by Nie Yixiong.

"For the next period of time, we'd better stay alert here to prevent any accidents."

Li Weiting nodded in agreement.

"Master Wan is right. This kid has become very famous recently, and we really can't let him get killed in the market.

"Even if he dies, he must die outside the market."

Lin Yunhe nodded and said, "We will have to work harder during this period, and take turns to pay attention to the movements here.

"Also, it would be best to find out what Nie Yixiong's motive is for investigating Song Jie."

The three of them have their own things to do on weekdays, so it's impossible for them to pay attention to this place all the time.

So the key is to find out why Nie Yixiong wants to investigate Song Jie.

Li Weiting and Wan Tiannan also agreed with this.

So, after a brief discussion, the three of them left.

……

On the other side, Song Jie, who was taking a hot bath, suddenly felt like there was a draft in the bathroom.

I just felt chilly...

He immediately looked up.

“Fuck, I forgot to close the window, and I was wondering why it felt windy.

"I took a bath for so long with the window open. Could someone have seen me?"

Song Jie muttered suspiciously.

Then he thought that the neighborhood where he lived had good public security and was populated by well-educated monks.

There shouldn't be anyone who's bored and hiding in the dark to peek.

Besides, it's already soaked in hot water, so it would be a bit troublesome to get up and close the window.

Besides, as a grown man, there is nothing good to look at.

Thinking of this, Song Jie felt relieved immediately and continued to enjoy the comfortable hot bath.

At the same time, taking advantage of this free time, he began to think about Nie Yixiong's motivation for asking him to make the elixir.

“Nie Yixiong knew that I was the one who killed his brother, which means there were other witnesses who went to Black Wind Mountain to report me.

“But instead of seeking revenge against me, Nie Yixiong fabricated a false murderer.

"What is his purpose in doing this?
“Why do you want to cover up the truth about this matter?”

According to what Li Caiwei said today, the "murderer" who was hung outside the Xinyuefang Market two days ago was personally killed by Nie Yixiong.

Song Jie easily came to the conclusion that the fake murderer was fabricated by Nie Yixiong.

"Instead of avenging his brother's murder, he helped his enemy cover up the truth.

“It’s really unbelievable…”

Song Jie placed one hand on the edge of the wooden barrel and tapped it gently with his fingers.

"If I were Nie Yixiong, and faced with the enemy who killed my own brother, I would not kill him immediately.

"Either this person is still useful, or he is afraid of something."

Thinking of this, Song Jie began to think about what value he had...

"It seems that my value is limited to refining pills.

“Besides, I have just been promoted to the first-level alchemist not long ago, and my cultivation is only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.

“The skill of alchemy is really ordinary.

"It probably has no use value...

"At least for a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining Stage, it is probably of little use to him."

Soon, Song Jie ruled out this possibility. "So, Nie Yixiong is probably afraid of something."

Song Jie continued to tap the edge of the wooden barrel with his fingers, frowning in thought.

"Are you afraid of the three major families?
“However, with his ninth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivation, he could have killed me quickly and escaped from the scene.

"But he didn't do that. Instead, he left me a recipe and asked me to refine the Chongmai Pill within ten days."

Thinking of this, Song Jie's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped something.

"Ten days...

"I think I know."

In an instant, information exploded in Song Jie's mind, and as if he had an epiphany, he figured out the whole thing.

“If I were just an ordinary first-level alchemist, and my cultivation was only at the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.

“Let alone ten days, even if it’s twenty days, we may not be able to refine the Chongmai Pill which is quite difficult to refine.

"Nie Yixiong's move is probably meant to test the situation.

“I guess he probably thinks that my identity is not as simple as it seems.

“Anyone who carefully investigates should be able to find some suspicious points about me.

“A monk who had been unknown for ten years suddenly rose to prominence not long after being fired from Baodan Tower.

"If there hadn't been some luck, I'm afraid no one would have believed it.

“And not long ago, the news that I had given up on joining the Danding Sect spread.

“Perhaps it’s because I made Nie Yixiong mistakenly believe that I have a backer who is as powerful as the Danding Sect.

"After all, there is almost no reason for an ordinary casual cultivator to give up joining the Danding Sect."

Thinking of this, Song Jie couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

Giving up joining the Danding Sect put him in crisis, but also gave him a way out.

“Blessings and misfortunes really go hand in hand…

“If I had joined Danding Sect at that time, Nie Yixiong would definitely not have dared to seek revenge on me.

"But it is precisely because I gave up joining Danding Sect that Nie Yixiong is a little cautious."

Song Jie suddenly felt that cause and effect was something truly mysterious.

“So, these ten days of alchemy were most likely a test for me.

"Or maybe he was testing the 'power' behind me.

“If I don’t refine the Chongmai Pill within ten days, I will most likely face a real life-and-death crisis.

"And if I can refine the Chongmai Pill within ten days, it means that I most likely have a backer who is no weaker than the Danding Sect."

After his thoughts became clear, Song Jie suddenly felt relieved.

Previously, Song Jie couldn’t figure out why Nie Yixiong asked him to make the elixir, and he always felt like something was pressing on his chest.

The pressure made him a little breathless.

Even if Nie Yixiong promised to refine the elixir within ten days, the grudge between the two would be wiped out.

But Song Jie still had some uncertainty in his heart and could only hope that Nie Yixiong was a man who kept his promises.

But how credible can the promise of a Jie Xiu be?

After thinking this through, Song Jie felt more confident.

“Well, when you give Nie Yixiong the Chongmai Pill, you must be more confident and definitely not be timid.

"This will also deepen the other party's misunderstanding and make them even more afraid to attack me."

I felt the temperature of the hot water in the bucket and it was only slightly warm.

If I continue soaking in it, I guess the water will turn cold.

"That's all for tonight's hot bath. It's almost time to go back to my room and practice Changchun Kung Fu.

“In the next few days, I will work hard to improve my proficiency and gain skill points.

“Then improve your proficiency in Chongmai Pills to a proficient level, and then refine Chongmai Pills.

"Finally, hand over the Chongmai Pill to Nie Yixiong, and this matter can come to a successful conclusion."

After regaining hope in life, Song Jie immediately got up, wiped his wet body, and changed into dry clothes.

“Save the bath water for flushing the dung bucket tomorrow.

“Saving water is everyone’s responsibility.”

Song Jie smiled slightly, then returned to his room and started tonight's practice...
