For more than ten days since that party, Qian Chao has been busy.
Finally one morning, Qian Chao packed up his clothes and walked into the inner hall of Chengqi Hall with a calm and serious face.
Today was an important day for Qian Chao. He had been focused and focused for more than ten days, and finally refined another armor that he was satisfied with. The Six Talisman Spirit Sword has been refined a long time ago. Since the armor has also been refined, it will naturally be handed over to the inner hall and asked to be inspected by the senior brothers there.
The person sitting in the inner hall that day was not Senior Brother Fang, but Senior Brother Xu Bo.
Xu Bo has a tall and slender figure, and his facial features can be considered handsome, but his face always has a sickly white color, which makes people feel as if this person has just recovered from a serious illness.
Qian Chao had met and talked to Senior Brother Xu several times. He found that Senior Brother Xu had a dull temperament and didn't talk much. He seemed to dislike talking to others, but he was an extremely rigorous person.
"Senior Brother Xu" Qian Chao saluted Xu Bo.
"Junior Brother Qian, please come in." Xu Bo was sitting behind the desk. Seeing that it was Qian Chao, he asked him to come in and talk.
When he arrived in the room, Qian Chao respectfully took out a large wooden box and placed it on Xu Bo's desk with both hands. Then he sat up straight and said, "Senior Brother Fang Yanfang took a fancy to him a few days ago and gave me a book as a gift." , asked me to refine a sword and armor, and I refined it today, please take a look at it, Senior Brother Xu."
Xu Bo didn't say anything. After listening to Qian Chao's words, he gently opened the wooden box, looked inside, and then closed it again.
"Junior Brother Qian, Junior Brother Fang Yan has already told me about this matter. I think Junior Brother Fang should have told you too. This sword armor test cannot be completed by one person. You put these with me first. I will inform Junior Brother Fang and invite some other inner brothers to evaluate whether the sword armor you refined has passed or not, and you will know when the time comes."
"Yes, thank you very much, Senior Brother Xu."
"In the past, the evaluation of sword armor would take more than ten days at a fast speed, and would not take more than a month at a slow pace. Junior Brother Qian, just wait patiently."
"yes."
…
One of Lu Pingchuan's senior brothers returned from a business trip. His senior brother was named Xi Kan. He was a tall, thick-set man with a muscular back and a strong waist. It was only when Xi Kan returned to his master that he found out that his master had accepted another junior brother for him. Naturally, he and Lu Pingchuan also became affectionate after meeting him. It was the first time he met his senior brother. It was inevitable that Lu Pingchuan would give him a big gift. That Xi Kan Gan also spent generously, and after Lu Pingchuan's ceremony was completed, he gave this junior brother who was also a strong-backed fellow a lot of greeting gifts.
However, after learning how his master Kang Fu led his young disciple to practice, Xi Kan complained to Kang Fu privately.
"Master, you didn't lead us like this when we were refining our qi. You are a bit biased!"
"Hey, let's not talk about you. I was just like you when I became your master's disciple. How did I come here at that time, and how did I teach you later. I also think that is not good. I don't want to use it to practice with you. , change it now, you just haven’t caught up. If you can accept disciples in the future, you might as well do the same."
"How long will it take?"
However, complaints are complaints, and Kang Fu chose his disciples with a kind heart, so even if he complained, he avoided Lu Pingchuan, and it was over once he complained, and he didn't have any thoughts about Junior Brother Lu because of it.
However, there were a few times when Kang Fu took Lu Pingchuan out, and Xi Kan also went out with him. Firstly, he was curious, and secondly, he wanted to learn the master's new method of leading disciples, so that he might actually be able to use it in the future.
After going out, Xi Kan realized why Master was so different from Junior Brother Lu.
Kang Fu and Lu Pingchuan were looking for those low-level monsters. Although with Xi Kan's current level of cultivation, such monsters had long been out of his sight, Junior Brother Lu really surprised him. Whenever he encountered a low-level monster, Kang Fu would look at him or point his hand, and Junior Brother Lu would rush out and beat the monster to death with three punches and two kicks or a fierce fight, and then the body would be thrown to the ground. After throwing it into the storage bag, the master and apprentice continued to search.
Xi Kan recalled that when he was refining Qi, although his physical skills were much stronger than those of ordinary monks, he did not dare to challenge this low-level monster alone until he reached the third or fourth level of Qi refining. Junior Brother Lu had just reached the second level. His cultivation level is not inferior to his own back then. Later, when I learned about Lu Pingchuan's qualifications, I realized that no wonder Master was partial. If I had Junior Brother Lu's qualifications, I'm afraid Master would value him so much.
Later, something happened to Kang Fu, and he couldn't get away when he agreed to take Lu Pingchuan out, so Xi Kan took Lu Pingchuan out on behalf of his master. According to Xi Kan's thinking, it's better for senior brothers to be more affectionate with each other. Even if Junior Brother Lu's cultivation level exceeds his own in the future, wouldn't he still have to call himself senior brother?
"Senior brother, what did you do when you went out on business after establishing your foundation?"
"Well, the monks of our sect travel a lot outside. There must be a place to stay when they go outside. There are many such places outside. Firstly, it is convenient for the monks of the sect to stay. Secondly, what about those nearby If a family or sect has something to do and the sect needs to come forward, you can go there directly. Someone must be responsible for maintaining such a place. I and several other senior brothers in the sect stayed there for ten years, waiting for our replacements to go here. Just returned to the sect.”
"Oh, that's right. Is there a lot to do there?"
"It depends on where I am. There aren't many things happening where I stay. In the past ten years, I have received some passing senior brothers, oh, and some seniors from the sect have also entertained me. The rest have been resolved. In the disputes between aristocratic families, some evildoers have been killed, but there are no other problems. It is said that there are many things in some places, and the brothers and sisters there are busy every day."
In fact, Xi Kan and the others have another thing to do, which is to monitor whether those small aristocratic families and sects have collusion with other major sects. If so, they must inform the sects. However, this is confidential, so he did not explain it to Lu Pingchuan. .
"People who do evil?" Lu Pingchuan became interested when he heard this, "Brother Xi, tell me, what evil did they do?"
"What other evil things can be done, such as stealing, robbing or killing, that's all."
"Are there many such guys?"
"I don't know many people there, um, but I have encountered one. There was once a group of notorious casual cultivators who specialized in doing business without any capital. In the end, they went crazy and wanted to attack our Five Spirits Sect. A junior fellow who went out alone was about to commit murder and robbery. The junior fellow was seriously injured, but he managed to escape. Now the sect would definitely not let those boys go. They sent people to search all the way and forced them to flee into our surroundings. This is an area under our jurisdiction, so we naturally have to contribute. After some searching, we found the hiding place of those boys. We wanted to capture them, but they relied on the number of people to resist desperately, and had no choice but to kill them. I killed three of them with my own hands, and the others were so frightened that they surrendered, and later handed them over to the chasing brothers, and they probably didn't end well either."
"Oh, you deserve it!" Lu Pingchuan liked hearing this kind of new news, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Well, there is another one that I remember very fondly. It happened two or three years ago. There was an eldest son from a small aristocratic family who had reached the level of foundation building. He fell in love with the daughter of another small aristocratic family. I wanted to marry as a Taoist couple, so I came to ask for it with gifts, but they didn't allow it. It seemed that the daughter of that family was already engaged. Originally, it didn't matter. If they didn't want to marry you, you just had to choose a good wife. But from this small aristocratic family, The eldest son was narrow-minded and extreme. Seeing that the one he liked was going to marry someone else, he was so jealous that he sneaked into someone else's wedding banquet. When the couple was getting married, he stabbed the newlyweds to death with a sword, and then ran away. Naturally, the victims of the two families refused to do anything, and they chased us all the way to the eldest son’s family. People from the three families almost took action, and then we were invited by the two families who suffered. When the family saw us present, and because of their own Lian Lian knew that protecting his young master would sooner or later lead to disaster, so he tied up the troubled young master and pushed him out of the door, and then the matter was resolved."
"What happened to the young man who killed someone?"
"What else can I do? Of course I will kill him. Not only will he be killed, but his family will also pay a lot of things to those two families to settle the matter."
"Oh, hum! You asked for this too!"
"is not that right."
