fairy family

Chapter 29: Strange things to live in
Qian Huazhen smiled and said, "The reason is simple. My brother is in great demand right now!"

This answer made Yu Que stunned. He didn't expect this to be the reason.

Qian Huazhen shook the robe on his body, pointed at it and said: "Brother Yu can wear this robe, which means he is already on the threshold of becoming a master of alchemy. Don't look at those guys in the guild who keep saying that if they don't become a regular employee within three years, they will have no future in their lifetime.

But even if it takes five or ten years to cultivate the visualization method, once the Yin Spirit is successfully shaped, you and I will be serious cultivators! It is the most noble profession among the immortals."

This person spoke in a high-pitched voice, not caring about the looks of the people around him, and not hiding the arrogance on his face, and said:
“What’s more, at our age, even if we don’t have much potential, we still have plenty of time to earn our own opportunities.

At that time, although it was not as good as passing the county exam, it was still possible to open a ancestral temple in this life, and there would be a way to immortality!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Que looked around belatedly, and a look of enlightenment suddenly emerged in his heart.

The people sitting on both sides of the restaurant heard the conversation between the two people, but not only did they not think that they were shouting too loudly, but they looked at them with envy.

When Yu Que looked up, someone's eyes met his, and the other person immediately raised his glass to gesture, with a friendly, even flattering look on his face.

"No wonder when I entered the restaurant, I saw smiling faces everywhere. It turns out that they were all respecting the silk robe I was wearing." He lowered his head and looked at the gray robe on his body. He couldn't help but smile.

Yu Que smiled and did not lose his composure. He immediately raised his glass and said to Qian Huazhen: "Thank you, Brother Qian, for your compliments. Drinks to victory!"

The two of them drank a 60-year-old vintage wine and started talking.

"Old Yu, let me tell you, you and I are just this in the guild." Qian Huazhen was not good at drinking. After drinking, he stuck out his tongue and stretched out his little finger to gesture:

"But once we get out of the guild, you and I are extraordinary. My arrogant father used to dislike me in every way, but since I passed the refining test, he has become a treasured son directly from a dog son!"

Seeing that this person was speaking more and more passionately, Yu Que also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling excited.

It was indeed as this person said. He passed the alchemy test today and was taught the visualization method. Even though he was not yet a formal alchemist, his identity and status from now on were different from before.

Just like today, even if others don’t know him or respect him personally, they still have to respect the robe he wears!

However, after Yu Que drank a few glasses of fine wine, his head was not at all groggy. Instead, his thoughts became more vigorous and clearer.

Suddenly, he thought to himself, "When Senior Huang Guishan took me through the test and taught me the Dharma, in addition to praising me, he also secretly warned me, as if to tell me not to be arrogant and to urge me to cultivate the visualization method as soon as possible... This person's behavior is indeed very upright, and it doesn't seem like he is just trying to win me over, right?"

So he asked in detail about Huang Guishan's true character and whether the other party had any other intentions as he thought Yu Que was a "rare treasure".

At this time, Qian Huazhen revealed a deeper reason.

"You're talking about Old Huang... He was the typical idiot in the guild who failed in three years, worked hard for ten years before passing the assessment, and worked hard for another ten years before he mastered the visualization method.

You don't know that a guy like him, who has no master, is eccentric and lazy, wants to take apprentices in the guild. But who can pass the refining test doesn't have a strong following?

There were only a handful of people who came to take the test without any background, and who would look up to a master like him? Often, they would go their separate ways after a short while. "

This person looked at Yu Que with a smile and poured him another glass of wine:
"You must have been targeted by him. He wants to build a good relationship with you and trick you into becoming his apprentice before you are noticed by other alchemists in the guild.

But he is a good person. When you become familiar with the guild and ask other alchemists to be your teachers, he won't be angry. After all, he is a good person."

Yu Que immediately understood that Huang Guishan was also like him and had no followers. In some ways, the two were "the same kind of people".

Suddenly, Yu Que realized something else. He asked Qian Huazhen, "Become a disciple? Do the masters in the guild also accept disciples? I wonder what is the difference between this and accepting disciples outside the guild?"

He focused on asking whether he had to obey the master's arrangements when working and learning skills in the guild, whether he had to complete many tasks every day, and whether he would be asked to take part of the rewards after each refining.

As a result, Qian Huazhen looked at him with a strange look after hearing this: "It's the same everywhere when you are an apprentice. It's just that you and I are already quasi-cultivators, so we can guarantee that we will learn something real."

The other person touched his chin and said, "Well, maybe it's not necessary to teach like Lao Huang, but he has poor qualifications and no connections. He has nothing to teach you except empty words and theories from books. If you become his disciple, you will either learn by yourself or go around in circles for the rest of your life."

At this moment, Yu Que was silent. He sighed softly in his heart, and he finally understood why Huang Guishan favored him.

It was indeed as Qian Huazhen said. Yu Que was the best candidate for Huang Guishan as a disciple. After all, he had no master and hated being exploited by his master. He also learned the skills of cultivation with only a book ghost inheritance. Regardless of his soul talent, at least his ability to comprehend and learn by himself was good, making him suitable for the other party to teach.

And vaguely, Yu Que also felt that choosing someone like Huang Guishan to be his guide in his spiritual career might be a good idea.

This is not only because he does not want to be exploited by his master, but also because he possesses a secret treasure, and it is really not suitable for him to have another "mountain" above his head that can always keep an eye on him.

But he also felt that Huang Guishan was just a "guide" and did not want to become his disciple.

"It would be great if I could just worship you as my teacher." Yu Que thought secretly in his heart.

In the restaurant.

After several rounds of drinking, Yu Que and Qian Huazhen became more and more familiar with each other.

He also learned a lot of other useful information from Qian Huazhen, such as the elixir recipes and talismans that he had not had time to look at.

Although he still didn't know how much truth or value this person's words had, they all opened his eyes.

Wait until late at night.

After they had enjoyed their meal, they saw that it was getting late, so they bowed to each other and prepared to leave.

When Yu Que was about to ask the other party how to get home and whether they wanted to ride the haunted carriage together at night, Qian Huazhen shook his body and suddenly stepped onto the chair.

Qian Huazhen didn't need to say anything. A strong man appeared in front of him and quickly appeared at Qian Huazhen's feet, whispering, "Young Master."

Qian Huazhen raised his foot and rode on the man, then burped drunkenly at Yu Que:

"Brother Yu, Qian and Qian will take their leave first. You can go back as well."

After saying this, the man patted the man who was sitting down, and the man then carried the man like a camel, walking steadily downstairs.

When Yu Que saw this action, he suddenly felt that he had broadened his horizons.

After all, he had usually only heard people curse "treating people like beasts" when he was squeezed in a ghost carriage. He didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today.

"It seems that this person is from a wealthy family." He thought to himself.

Just as Yu Que was staggering and about to walk out of the restaurant, a rickshaw suddenly appeared in front of him without him waving.

The cart was parked neatly under the stairs, and the man pulling the cart was bending his waist, waiting for him to get on.

Yu Que was a little hesitant. He turned around and found that it was the owner of the restaurant who came out and bowed to him with a smile on his face.

The restaurant owner looked honest, just like his elder.

"Hurry up, you rough guy, push the handlebars down a little, be careful not to trip Master Yu Lian."

The man was wearing gold and silver and looked very wealthy, but he walked down the stairs quickly, scolded the man pulling the cart, and whispered to Yu Que: "Master Yu Lian, take care, and come often in the future."

Before Yu Que could say anything, his body floated up, and he was helped into the rickshaw by several servants as if he was stepping on cotton. Two baskets of exquisite side dishes, hangover soup and other midnight snacks were hung on the handlebars.

The wine didn't make Yu Que drunk, but the considerate and meticulous service made him feel dizzy and overwhelmed with enthusiasm.
