"Slow down, I won't see you off. Senior brother, please go slowly..." Old Man Baicao saw off the group and returned to the yard.
The two people who were ordered to go to the inner room to collect fragments of spiritual materials came out at some point and stood near the center of the courtyard. The position of the array groove has not been covered up yet, leaving some dark marks. It will only need to be slightly modified later.
The two of them looked at it again and again with some curiosity, but still couldn't see any name. After all, the formation heart had completely sunk, leaving only a shallow mark.
Seeing the actions of the two people, Old Man Baicao seemed to have no reaction and allowed them to observe. He only lowered his head and fiddled with the dried spiritual materials piled aside with his toes.
"But you are upset?" Old Man Baicao personally picked up the dried spiritual material, and then glanced at the two of them lightly, which immediately exposed their concerns.
He Jiang didn't have much money, or he didn't bother to keep secrets at all. He always said what he wanted and never concealed what he thought or did. All his emotions were clearly shown on his face. So you can tell what this person is thinking at a glance.
Seeing the displeasure on his face, slightly mixed with jealousy and inquiry, he looked unwilling and seemed to be stimulated. At the same time, there was still greed and desire hidden deep in his eyes that even he himself was not aware of. All in all, he doesn't look like a kind person. This is why Old Man Baicao has always disliked him.
In fact, in terms of alchemy talent, He Jiang is not bad, and can even be said to be very good. Moreover, he also has a rare trait of alchemists - the ability to imagine without limits. But Old Man Baicao has never liked this guy. Even though this guy has been working for him for nearly ten years, the two of them have developed a tacit understanding and have never thought of giving him the status of a disciple.
Yes, it turns out that He Jiang was the one who met Old Man Baicao first. He had been the assistant of this lonely real person for a long time.
Old Man Baicao has always been known in the Wuhua Sect for his eccentric temperament, and he also has strict requirements for his subordinates. Most disciples cannot stay under him for long, and they even talk about being accepted as disciples. And Wang Jingxuan is probably the only lucky one.
But He Jiang is also a special case. He is also a guy with a bad temper, but miraculously he has been supported by Old Man Baicao for a long time and has become an evergreen tree beside this true king. I don't know how many handyman disciples are envious of his situation.
Occasionally, Old Man Baicao would teach him something else. To be honest, the two of them could be considered half-teachers. But Old Man Baicao really didn't like his temperament. He felt that he had lost his integrity and was full of evil. He always liked to go astray and didn't practice well. Therefore, I never thought of taking him under his wing.
It was also later that he met Wang Jingxuan, and the two often teamed up to attack Old Man Baicao, and the situation changed. Old Man Baicao also favored this new girl and loved Wujiwu. Old Man Baicao also had a much better impression of He Jiang. This time, he also thought about bringing He Jiang under his family, who had worked hard for many years.
I didn't want to see him showing this attitude again today, so I couldn't help but said with some annoyance: "Don't have any wrong ideas. You saw it just now, that kid is the heart of Senior Brother Yuan Heng. Although he claims to be not his son, in fact But she protects her tightly. If others touch her, she may not be able to do anything good. Don’t do more harm than good to others with those frivolous things of yours..."
Seeing that the other party was not convinced and wanted to say something, Old Man Baicao turned his head and refused to respond. He focused his attention on the girl who stood aside and remained silent.
"Sir, how did she...how..." Wang Jingxuan couldn't continue speaking halfway. She probably didn't even know what she wanted to ask.
Old Man Baicao shook his head and shrugged: "I don't know either. This kind of array formation technique has never been seen before. I have never heard of such a method. Not to mention this improved spirit gathering array, I only saw it today. .”
Although he was replying, in fact he had been paying attention to Wang Jingxuan's reaction and refused to let go of the subtle changes on her face.
Just now, people gathered around to watch a "miraculous performance". Wang Jingxuan's face showed wonder, disappointment, yearning and envy, but more importantly, unwilling anger and determination to fight against the odds.
Fortunately, in the end, he didn't see the kind of emotions he didn't want to see. It seemed that he had indeed seen the right person. Otherwise, he is afraid that he will be closed again.
Old Man Baicao patted Wang Jingxuan's shoulder comfortingly: "Everyone has his or her own fate, and what belongs to you will always come. You just lack some luck."
Wang Jingxuan was silent for a moment, and then said after a long time: "Uncle Ning and his disciple just now... are actually from the same village, and they are also initiated in the same class, but she has become the second best in just a few years. The disciple is far behind compared with them. No, now I think it’s too late to catch up.”
"The one who entered the class with you? Five years ago?" Old Baicao was a little surprised. He originally thought that the other party was a child of some family, but he didn't expect that he was from an ordinary background and had been introduced for such a short time.
"What about her talent?"
Wang Jingxuan's eyes dimmed imperceptibly, and a hint of alert flashed through her very quickly, but Old Baicao didn't happen to look over, so he didn't notice.
"Disciple remembers that she has three spiritual roots, but the purity is very high."
"...As strong as a bone. Her cultivation speed is also very fast, much better than many top disciples. It seems that she has a solid foundation of spiritual power and can use it freely. She is already near the peak of the middle stage of foundation building. If she works harder, she will be able to do it in the later stage. It’s not far away. This road can be considered smooth. If we don’t fall, the sect will get more help.” Old Man Baicao touched his palms and said with emotion.
He has seen a lot of the true pride of heaven, but he doesn't know what kind of curse has been placed on him. On the contrary, there are many ups and downs in the future for such people, with backlash, and few of them can really escape. The group below the average level have endured hardships and come out, and now there are many such monks in the upper echelons of the sect.
Perhaps because of his own development trajectory, Mr. Baicao most appreciates those characters who have come out of humble beginnings or low places. He had a good impression of Ningxia in the first place, but now he has even more appreciation.
"This woman is very talented and talented. She will definitely achieve great results in the future. If you have the opportunity, you can make many friends with her in the future, which will also help your path in the future." Old Man Baicao said to Wang Jingxuan sincerely, with expectations in his eyes. There is also a hint of softness that is not easy to detect.
"Don't be discouraged. You have just started. As long as you work harder, you will catch up in the future. Don't worry. Huh?"
Looking at Old Man Baicao with encouraging eyes, Wang Jingxuan nodded silently, sweeping away the previous haze, and seemed to have listened.
There is still a long road ahead for the rest of my life. It’s hard to tell who is faster and who is slower. There is ample time--
"Okay, we have also wasted a lot of time, so let's start practicing quickly. Maybe we should push the progress forward..."
"yes."
