Lord Tongsheng was silent for a moment and said: "The top priority is to improve our sect's strength as soon as possible, just in case."
The headmaster said: "The disciples in the sect work hard to cultivate, and we must not slack off. Alas, over the past many years, I have made no progress in my cultivation, and I can only rely on external things to improve my strength."
Master Tongsheng Dao sighed and said: "So it's not like me and my junior sister. In the supreme realm, every step is to be explored alone. Although there are countless roads, it feels like there is no way to go."
Taojun Yunmeng stared outside the main hall, his eyes far away.
"Because of this, the two of us are paying more and more attention to recruiting disciples. If we can train one or two people who are expected to surpass us, we will not feel ashamed when we meet our ancestors under the Nine Springs."
…
Yuming City, Feihong Tower.
The chief had reserved the entire third floor, and everyone exchanged cups and glasses, chatting loudly, and it was very lively.
Jing Yingrong's table was no exception. The group of people chatted about the topic while eating and drinking, not even letting go of the food on the table.
Chen Sheng said: "I dare to say that this plate of first-grade jade rabbit is definitely the second-grade monster red fragrant rabbit from Qishuang River."
Another person retorted: "How can the meat of the Red Fragrant Rabbit be so tender? In my opinion, it should be the third-level monster Zhu Ling Rabbit from Tianchuan Continent."
The two started arguing.
Li Xiaolan took a sip of soup and said, "You are so boring."
The person next to Jing Yingrong was telling her a joke: "Two people are in danger, and one of them is dead. Dead people are called dead people. So, Senior Sister, do you know what the living people are called?"
Jing Yingrong thought for a while and said in an uncertain tone: "A living person?"
The other party held back laughter and shook his head: "That's wrong, the living people are calling for help."
Jing Yingrong: "..."
Ji Yanzhu: "I feel a little cold. Is it my imagination?"
Ji Jie Bi: "I think so too."
Ji Sha Jian: "Me too."
Mirror Yingrong: "Cold."
Seeing that there was no smile in the mirror, the man was not discouraged and kept trying.
After listening to several "jokes" in a row, Ji Shajian hummed: "I can also tell this kind of thing."
Ji Jie Bi: "Then tell me something."
Ji Shajian looked at the mirror and said, "Didn't you just say you were cold? Do you know what your name is?"
Jing Yingrong: "What?"
Ji Sha Sword: "Calm down."
Jing Yingrong: "..."
Jijiebi: "I want Yan to make a fire to keep warm."
In the noisy atmosphere, there was only one person who barely spoke and just drank to himself.
On the other side, Chen Sheng finally came up with the outcome of his argument. He happily picked up a piece of rabbit meat with chopsticks. He then saw the drunk man and put the rabbit meat directly into his bowl.
"Miao Rui, why are you looking so sad? Who owes you spiritual stones or a contribution?"
Miao Rui sighed heavily: "I'm annoyed."
"What's bothering you?"
"I haven't found a suitable sect mission, and my contribution points are almost gone. Can I not be annoyed?"
Chen Sheng was surprised and said, "Aren't you working at Yan Xinxuan?"
Miao Rui put the cup hard on the table, causing a little splash of wine.
"I won't do it anymore," he said sadly.
Chen Sheng: "Why? I heard that the pay there is very high, and it is one of the firms supported by the inner sect. If I hadn't been busy with something, I would have wanted to give it a try."
"The remuneration is high? Ha, haha," Miao Rui sneered with a hint of drunkenness, "The remuneration is high, but do you think it will allow you to earn your contribution points easily?"
The rest of the people were attracted by the conversation between the two and turned their gazes over.
Li Xiaolan: "Is the work there very tiring?"
Miao Rui raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass, took a deep breath, and dropped the glass the next moment.
"It's not something a normal person can do! If I keep doing it, I will be haunted by inner demons!"
He was so excited that his volume disturbed the people at several tables around him.
Chen Sheng was surprised and said: "Is it so scary? What on earth are you doing..."
"Don't ask, you won't understand if I tell you, and you'll probably think I'm pretentious. If you're curious, just go and give it a try. Anyway, there's a shortage of people there right now. Those who came in with me have already left, so I'm still Stay till the last one.”
Miao Rui took another cup, filled it with wine, and continued drinking cup after cup.
Seeing this, the others stopped asking questions and started to comfort him and give him advice.
"The task of making meals for the sect's spirit beasts is quite good. It's easy and you can take the opportunity to build a good relationship with the spirit beasts."
"Why don't you take on a foreign job so that you can relax and unwind, and if you're lucky, you can make some extra money."
"It just so happens that there is still a shortage of people for the task of collecting magic leaf butterflies in Kujian Gorge. Would you like to consider it?"
Everyone was chattering.
Jing Yingrong's eyes were empty, thinking about something.
Jijiebi: "Are you interested in Yan Xinxuan?"
Jing Yingrong: "Yeah. It's something that didn't exist before Taichu Guan."
Ji Jie Bi: "You also have to do sect tasks, so go give it a try when the time comes."
"Um."
…
The construction of the new cave is completed.
Jing Yingrong originally only knew Zhao Jinxu and Shu Pinghui. Zhao Jinxu needed to come over to inspect the formation, but Shu Pinghui had made an appointment with her at the house construction office that day. After the cave was completed, he must come to see it as soon as possible.
Then I don’t know how these two people announced it, and other acquaintances also knew about it. Yin Xueze, Wu Yaochen, and Luo Qi came. Even Huo Xiumao, who was not in the sect, asked someone to send him a gift.
In addition, Lan Chucui also arrived at the end.
What was different from the past was that there was almost no smile on her face, and there was a hint of gloom between her eyebrows.
"I said last time that I would prepare a generous gift to make amends for you, and this time I am here to fulfill my promise."
Lan Chucui held out a box and said calmly.
Her eyes were half-closed, as if she was deliberately avoiding eye contact with Jing Yingrong.
The box was not gorgeous in appearance, had no extra decorations, and even looked a bit ordinary.
Jing Yingrong took it in his hand, remembered something, and said, "Would you like to open it now and take a look?"
Lan Chucui was stunned for a moment, then remembered the same thing, and said with a little embarrassment: "No, no need...no, it's up to you."
Although she was embarrassed, she didn't look unhappy.
Jing Yingrong nodded and put the box into the ring.
Taking the mirror Yingrong's movements into her eyes, for some reason, Lan Chucui breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, but at the same time, there was a hint of loss in her eyes.
She suddenly raised her eyes to meet the eyes reflected in the photo, her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to ask something, but at the next moment she chose to tighten her lips.
Jing Yingrong: "What do you want to say?"
"No, it's nothing..."
Lan Chucui shook her head and changed the topic: "Let me see your new residence."
As she spoke, she walked around the mirror and looked at the newly completed cave.
She saw huge and white shells, one at the top and one at the bottom, reflecting a crystal clear luster under the scorching sun. In the middle of the shell, there are strange houses with light colors, rounded shapes and soft lines.
If you look down from a high place, the entire cave seems like a white shell left behind on the blue ocean.
