I just want to be a quiet man

In fact, in the past two days, all the outer disciples saw in the mirror on Shuwu Peak that Pei Ling solved the competition that would have taken ten days and ten nights to decide the top ten in just two days. .

The leader of the Eastern Region, Lu Xuan who established the foundation of the authentic way; the leader of the Western Region, Ruan Cuicui, who established the foundation of the human way;

Jin Sumian asked herself, not to mention facing three at the same time, if she just pulled one out, she didn't need to consider the issue of fighting, and even the chance of escaping was very slim.

Originally, in her mind, Pei Ling was nothing more than a shameless adulterer, but seeing him one-by-one kill him to become the leader of the Outer Sect Grand Competition, he became the arrogance who was repeatedly praised by the Master of the Supervisory Palace in person... Jin Su-Mian couldn't help it Feeling a bit lost.

The Chongming Sect respects the strong. Although Jin Sumian does not usually have the habit of bullying others, he was born and raised here, and many concepts have been infiltrated into his bones unconsciously.

Pei Ling's performance in the outer sect competition was too strong and brutal!

Even the high-level supervisors, such as the supervisor of the palace, were repeatedly surprised by it, let alone Jin Sumian, who was pampered and devoted to alchemy since childhood.

Before, rumors and gossip were flying all over the outer sect, and among the disciples, it was Pei Ling who took advantage of her.

To put it harshly, he felt that Pei Ling, a toad, wanted to eat swan meat, and that a poor boy from Huaiyin Peak dared to pretend to be like Xiufeng's talented female alchemist, it was wishful thinking!

But now, almost overnight, everyone's tone has changed.

They felt that Jin Sumian's good words were due to his special insight; his bad words were due to his deep city mansion, who had seen Pei Ling's arrogance in advance, but he failed to gain fame after a private seduction.Then relying on the powerful connections of the Jin family, they took the initiative to spread the rumors of sex between the two.

He wanted to use public opinion to force Pei Ling to submit!

This is simply nonsense! !

When Jin Sumian heard it, she was trembling with anger.

She also thought of Li Zhenchuan's warning at that time. At that time, she was inexplicable, but now she understood what the real biography meant.

Li Zhenchuan thought that she, Jin Sumian, was not good enough for Pei Ling!

Outrageous!

It's too deceiving, too deceiving!

Pei Ling has always been the one who snatched her pills, stole her opportunities, and harassed her. When did she offend Pei Ling? !

Bang!

At this moment, the pill liquid in the pill furnace that was gradually changing suddenly changed color, and quickly emitted a sizzling sound, and at the same time released a puff of black smoke. It exploded with a bang.

The fryer is up!

A furnace full of materials was instantly wiped out.

Jin Su Mian was startled, but soon realized that her mind was too disturbed, if she continued like this, no matter how many more furnaces she refined, it was impossible for her to produce a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill!

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on Dan's door.

She calmed down and walked over to open the door.

However, on the main seat in the outer room, a beautiful woman with beautiful face and beautiful face was sitting on the front lapel. She was dressed in strict makeup, surrounded by pearls and emerald greens. Seeing Jin Su Mian coming out, she was slowly putting down the tea bowl in her hand.

On the side of the beautiful woman, there is a servant woman dressed in simple clothes, with a neat bun. There is only a simple pearl flower on the bun. She has a mediocre appearance and a submissive posture.

"Mother? Aunt Wan?" Jin Sumian was taken aback, then said immediately, "Why are you here?"

His mother, Mrs. Cao, looked at Jin Su Mian, smiled slightly, and said, "Su Mian, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have improved in cultivation?"

"Our Miss Su Mian not only has a higher level of cultivation, but also looks more beautiful when people look at her." Without waiting for Jin Su Mian to answer, the maid Aunt Wan said, "No wonder everyone said that Miss Su Mian is the Phoenix of our Jin family. Where is the girl?"

This kind of praise, Jin Su Mian used to listen to it with peace of mind, but now she is slightly embarrassed.

People like Pei Ling are the true arrogance recognized by the sect!

she……

Thoughts were still on, Cao Shi carefully took out a brocade box and pushed it in front of her with a smile: "Mother brought you some good things, take a look!"

Jin Sumian took it and opened it, and couldn't help blurting out: "Jingyan Dan Dan Fang?"

"That's right, it's the formula of Jingyan Pill." Cao sipped her kouling tea and said with a smile, "Now you're practicing at the ninth level of Qi, and you're about to start building your foundation. Mother has decided to give you a gift."

"That's why I specially asked someone to go to Wanbohai to search for this Jingyan Pill recipe for you."

"Although this kind of elixir is not like Dingyan Dan, it can stay youthful forever. But it has an effect that Dingyan Pill does not have. It can make the appearance of the user become more beautiful and pure."

She looked at her daughter with admiring eyes, "You are young and in your youth, and you don't need the Yan Yan Pill. With this Yan Yan Pill, your appearance will definitely be improved!"

Jin Sumian looked at the prescription in her hand with great interest, she didn't care if her appearance could be improved or not.

Her interest lies in the alchemy itself. She heard the words and said: "Thank you mother, I will definitely study hard and refine the Jingyan pill as soon as possible. When the time comes, my mother, aunt Wan, cousin...everyone in the family will have it!"

Mrs. Cao coaxed her a few words with a smile, felt that the atmosphere was getting better, and finally got down to business: "I heard from Sutai that Pei Ling, who won the first prize in this outer sect competition, has an extraordinary relationship with you?"

Jin Su-Mian's expression changed, the original smile disappeared instantly, and then she said through gritted teeth, "I don't know him at all!"

Mrs. Cao frowned slightly, exchanged glances with Aunt Wan, and immediately said in a nonchalant manner: "Mother just asked casually... By the way, you have already cultivated the ninth level of Qi, and you are about to enter the inner gate next. And the inner gate The assessment tasks of the thirteen branches have always been decided by themselves. You can think about which branch you want to join?"

Jin Sumian was taken aback, what's the point of thinking?

Of course, he joined his cousin's Shi Jing lineage!

So he said: "Mother, I want to join Shi Jing's lineage, and Elder Shen has agreed to accept me as a disciple. After entering the inner sect, I can concentrate on practicing alchemy."

Mrs. Cao shook her head, and said seriously: "Closing a car behind closed doors is ultimately just watching the sky from a well."

"And choosing Shi Jing's lineage, with your cousin's protection, will indeed go much smoother. But you are no longer a child, relying on others everywhere, and being protected by others, doesn't it run counter to the original intention of pursuing the Dao?"

"In this outer sect competition, you haven't even passed the Southern Region selection, but that Pei Ling, who is not as good as you in terms of background and resources, has come from behind. With a humble body, he counterattacked the disciples of Baifeng, and finally won the championship. , making it No.1 in the outer sect!"

"You know, what is the difference between you and him?"

Chapter 236 : My Jin family, use beauty to clear the way!

Jin Su Mian shook her head, subconsciously sat up straight, and began to listen carefully. She didn't give up on herself when she lost, or she just hated others and didn't know how to reflect on her own generation.

Now that my mother taught by example and came here specially to teach her how to practice, she naturally has to take note of it.

Cao said slowly: "This is because your xinxing is not strong enough!"

"Chongmingzong preys on the weak and the strong, and the pampering and pampering in the Jin family have already made you lose the will to fight for the way if you don't advance or retreat!"

"So Wei Niang came here this time to give you a task to temper your character."

"Next, you will join Pei Ling's Jiansang lineage. With the enmity between you and Pei Ling, he will definitely make things difficult for you. In time, you can use this kind of tempering to discard the chaff and save the chaff, and forge your own A firm will and a heart for the Tao."

When Jin Sumian heard that he was going to join Pei Ling's Jiansang lineage, he instinctively wanted to refuse, but if there was something wrong with his own character...

Thinking of this, Jin Sumian replied in embarrassment: "There are a lot of rumors about me and Pei Ling circulating in the sect. If I join Jiansang's lineage, the misunderstanding will definitely deepen..."

Cao said disapprovingly: "You only need to focus on the Tao, why should you care what others think?"

"This is also a part of tempering your xinxing. If you can't even bear this little gossip, what's the point of aspiring to the Dao and forging ahead?"

After hearing this, Jin Sumian instinctively felt that something was wrong, but she didn't think her mother would harm her...

"Think about Pei Ling. When he was in Pei's house, he endured for 18 years before he seized the opportunity to soar into the sky." Cao encouraged again, "If he is like you, he is afraid of the head and the tail, afraid of this and that, don't say it." In the eyes of Li Zhenzhuan Zheng Maizhu and others, I am afraid that they will be like other disciples of the Pei family, and they can only do nothing in the backwaters of Luquan City for the rest of their lives."

"Your background, cultivation, knowledge... Why are you not better than him in the first place? Now that you have fallen behind, if you don't catch up, are you willing to let everyone be lost?"

"What's more, it's mediocre not to be jealous! In this world, there are always some people who are extremely stupid and don't want others to stand out from the crowd. Over the years, you have gained a foothold in the outer sect with alchemy, and I don't know how many people hate you but dare not reveal it. Now With such an opportunity, it is just for you to see their true colors!"

"If you get scared and shrink back, it's exactly what they want."

"Su Mian, do you really want to ruin your future for these people?"

Hearing this, Jin Sumian gritted her teeth, that's right!

As long as she has a clear conscience, what do you care about gossip?Even Li Zhenchuan's warning can't disturb her Dao heart!

"Okay!" She immediately agreed.

Seeing this, Mrs. Cao and Aunt Wan looked at each other with a smile, and said, "Pei Ling's new cave has been chosen in Cuilei Mountain, the inner gate. Right now, disciples from all walks of life have already gone to pay a visit. Get ready and go there right away."

"Remember, this is a test of your heart. Don't put on airs like the former daughter of the Jin family and a talented female alchemist from the outer sect."

"You have to treat yourself as an ordinary outer disciple, abandon all pride, go to see him, and sincerely pray for a future in cultivation, understand?"

Jin Su Mian didn't think there was any problem with these words, she nodded immediately and was ready to go.

"Wait, you just finished refining the elixir, and your body smells too strong." Mrs. Cao hurriedly called to her, "It's too rude to go like this, and go take a bath and change clothes."

Hearing this, Jin Sumian obediently went in to take a bath.

Taking advantage of this time, Mrs. Cao and Aunt Wan changed his original change of clothes.

After bathing, Jin Sumian got up to put on, but saw that there was only a set of dresses she had never seen before. Knowing that her mother had prepared them for her, she changed into them, and then found that the clothes were made of silk, as soft as smoke , the point is, it's too revealing...

It's a little more revealing than the dress that Guan Xuerui used to wear back then...

"Mother, this dress..." If it weren't for knowing that there were only her own mother and Aunt Wan who watched her grow up in the cave, Jin Sumian didn't even have the courage to come out. She grabbed two pieces of light gauze, tried to cover her body, and came out. After that, he said with a flushed face.

When they saw Jin Su Mian, their eyes lit up immediately, and before she could finish speaking, they said, "This is the best-selling female nun's dress in the market today."

"You have been concentrating on alchemy for many years, so you may not have paid attention to the matter of makeup. Now, everyone wears this outside!"

"How can we practitioners be restrained by ordinary etiquette?"

"What's more, this dress is very suitable for you. Only those with impure thoughts will think wildly."

Cao said categorically, "And that kind of despicable villain, why do you care what they think?"

When Jin Sumian heard this, she was speechless immediately. She continued to question the clothes, didn't she want to make her mother misunderstand?

It's just that it's the first time I wear such cool clothes, and I always feel a little at a loss.

The master and the servant turned a blind eye to her and praised her again. Cao said: "Su Mian, since you became a Taoist, mother hasn't dressed you up for a long, long time. Taking this opportunity, let your mother do it again." Let me dress you up once."

So, without waiting for Jin Sumian to say anything, Mrs. Cao and Aunt Wan took out the dowry box from the storage bag, pressed her on the chair, and carefully dressed her.

After a long while, I saw Jin Sumian, who was already quite handsome, with cloudy temples, swaying steps, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like cold stars, snow-skinned face, nose and cherry lips, slender waist like willows and face like the moon.

Because of the temperament of years of practice, looking at her at this moment, she has both the grace and grace of a concubine and fairy, and the charm and grace of a peerless beauty in the world.

Cao's master and servant inspected her around her, and took out another sachet, saying that the family bought it specially from the market under the jurisdiction of Tianshengjiao, and it was a formula taught by a certain Zhenchuan who liked Hexiang in Tianshengjiao. Both men and women are full of praise.

After wearing the sachet for Jin Su Mian, they looked around again, and the two were very satisfied: "Okay, you can go."

After she left, Aunt Wan asked nervously, "Madam, can this be done?"

"The method of building the foundation of the way of heaven is so precious!" Mrs. Cao recalled the tenderness and love she had shown a moment ago, stroked the cold jade bracelet engraved with the rune of peace of mind on her wrist, and said in a deep voice, "No matter what the price is, even if it is paid by my Jin family Fenghuang'er's beauty opens the way, you have to give it a try."

"Besides, with Pei Ling's current status and future, no matter what happens with Su Mian, my Jin family will not suffer anyway."

"Once it succeeds, with the method of building the foundation of the Dao of Heaven, my Jin family will definitely be able to go to the next level."

"Even, that is a future that I can't even think about now!"

Speaking of this, she let out a sigh of relief, "Now, let's see when that kid takes the bait..."

Chapter 237: Inner Sect Assessment Task.

Cuilei Cave Mansion.

main hall.

Pei Ling took the main seat, and the first one on the left was Ouyang Xianxing, followed by some unknown people, most of them were at the ninth level of Qi training, and a few were at the sixth level of Qi training.

These people are all well-dressed, more or less wearing some undulating ornaments of talismans, and obviously have origins and origins.

Ouyang Xianxing came here, on the one hand, to congratulate Pei Ling; on the other hand, to assist Pei Ling, who had just entered the inner sect, and take on the responsibility of the pulse master of the Jiansang line.

As for the other visitors, it was obvious that they all wanted something.

"Senior brother Pei is talented and his heart is as firm as a rock. He is really a role model for my generation!" After exchanging pleasantries, seeing Pei Ling's gaze shifting towards him, a disciple of the ninth level of Qi training didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly got up and left his seat, bowed and saluted , "Brother would like to join Jiwei, join the lineage of Jiansang, and serve the brother day and night, so that he can be instructed by the brother."

Looking at Pei Ling's calm and indifferent face, and thinking about this senior brother's reputation, and what he witnessed with his own eyes, the cruelty to Shen Zhe in the outer sect competition, this disciple's heart suddenly jumped. The request for the Foundation Establishment Pill suddenly became, "I also ask the senior brother to give me a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. After the junior brother builds the foundation, I will do my best for the senior brother!"

Seeing that someone took the lead to speak, Pei Ling did not intend to stop, and the others followed suit: "Senior brother Pei, I am Fan Qi from the Fan family. I saw the unparalleled demeanor of senior brother Pei with my own eyes yesterday, and I yearn for it! Sang's lineage, I wonder if I can get a high-grade foundation-building pill?"

"Senior brother Pei, the younger sister is the daughter of the cousin of the third uncle's cousin's niece who is next door to Ling's cousin's cousin. After all, you and I are family! I also ask Brother Pei to take care of me. I wonder if I can give you a piece of cake." For the top grade Yudan, my junior sister is willing to do whatever I want!"

"Senior Brother Pei, I..."

Pei Ling listened quietly, these people came for Zhu Ji Dan and Zhong Yu Dan.

Both of these elixirs are available in Baibaolou, but they are only middle grade.

Top grade is only available in name, in fact, if you actually buy it, it will always be just out of stock.

If you want to refine a top-grade jade bone, you must use a top-grade Jade Pill; if you want to build a foundation, you must also use a top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
