"A chance to enter the Kunlun Party and cultivate?"
In the tavern, the plump Old Ma sat at a table by the window. His stubby fingers caressed the jade pendant in his hand. After a while, he looked at Lu Chen with a strange expression.
Lu Chen, who sat across from him, tilted his head back and drank a glass of wine. He shrugged and said, "At least that's what he said."
Old Ma snorted and stared at Lu Chen. "Don't play dumb in front of me. I don't believe you can't hear the strangeness in those words."
Lu Chen smiled but didn't say anything.
Old Ma ignored him and continued, saying, "Everything in this world is the same. Look at the mortals in Qingshuitang Village. They spend most of their lives working hard for an illusory chance. How can this kind of chance be so easily obtained?"
Lu Chen said, "Maybe Hongchuan is a disciple of a famous sect, so it's not too difficult for him to get a chance to examine one's foundation."
Old Ma sneered and said, "That's the Kunlun Party, one of the top sects in Zhenxianmeng. Although it's no longer at its peak, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter what, it's not something a useless sect like the Thousand-Autumn Sect can compare to. Do you believe that the leader of the Thousand-Autumn Sect has to personally welcome a Foundation Establishment disciple of the Kunlun Party? "
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You're looking down on the Thousand-Autumn Sect too much."
Old Ma sneered and looked as if he was clearly looking down on that stupid sect. Then, he suddenly paused and looked at Lu Chen. "Speaking of which, what's that guy's cultivation level? If he's a Foundation Establishment disciple, he's an elite of the Kunlun Party. It's reasonable for him to give you a chance to examine your foundation. "
Lu Chen frowned and said, "Hongchuan's foundation is very solid, but his cultivation level isn't too high. He should still be in the Qi Cultivation realm and hasn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm."
Old Ma shook his head and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Kunlun Sect is such a famous sect with so many disciples. If it's just the most ordinary disciple in the Qi Refining Realm, no matter what, he wouldn't have such a big face. Unless there's someone behind him, well, an elder with a very high status in the sect, or he simply has a highly respected master?"
Lu Chen thought and smiled. "That seems to be true. Other than this opportunity, he also said that even if I don't have any talent, he can guarantee that I'll be a servant disciple of the Kunlun Party. This is definitely something that only those with connections in the Kunlun Party have.
"Pa!"
Old Ma suddenly slammed the table with an indignant expression and said angrily, "Damn it! It's always you guys who secretly teach each other all day long. That's why talented people like me, who don't have any background, can't achieve their ambitions! "
Lu Chen coughed and reminded him, "I haven't gone to the Kunlun Party yet. How could I secretly teach each other?"
Old Ma snorted and looked at him. "You're all jackals of the same tribe anyway!"
Lu Chen laughed and then raised his head to drink another glass of wine. He then smiled and said, "I won't go anyway."
Old Ma was stunned for a moment, and then an unnatural expression flashed across his face. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that you had such a good talent back then, but it was destroyed by the vicious' Black Flame Curse '."
Lu Chen's eyes drooped slightly, and then he smiled. He stood up and walked to Old Ma's side. He patted his thick shoulder and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I've lived a mortal's life for ten years. I'm used to it now."
Old Ma wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Lu Chen stretched himself and took the jade pendant from Old Ma's hand and put it back into his arms. Then, he walked towards the door and said with a smile, "I was tired last night. I'm going back to catch up on sleep today."
Old Ma didn't get up to see him off. He just silently watched the man walk out of the tavern and gradually go away alone. Looking from afar, he always felt that his back seemed a little lonely.
… …
The weather was sunny, and Qingshuitang Village became lively. Miss Dingdang, who usually liked to sleep in, woke up early again today. She was dressed neatly, and her face was pretty. Walking through the village, she attracted many glances. Some were envious, some were infatuated, some were greedy, and some were jealous. However, she didn't care.
She had seen these kinds of looks many times. At least in this village, she wasn't afraid. Even though a thousand spirit stones was a large amount, it was no longer an unreachable amount. As long as she was lucky in the future, she would be able to gain the favor of the elders of the Thousand Autumns Sect. Hmph hmph! These stinky men in the village, those stingy wretches who wanted to strip her naked with their eyes, and those hypocritical and jealous women, they were all ants under her feet.
Thinking up to here, she couldn't help but feel a little lighthearted. The corner of her mouth revealed a trace of a smile as she looked at the surrounding village with disdain. Then, in her heart, she couldn't help but think, when the time comes, you guys will all kneel on the ground and beg me. But, I definitely won't purify you guys. En, Young Master Li on the other side of the river is not bad. He looks quite pleasing to the eye. When the time comes, I can purify him. Also … Lu Chen, even though he's a lecherous, vulgar, and careless person who takes advantage of others every day, his personality is actually not bad. When the time comes, I'll purify him.
Dingdang's heart was filled with happiness. Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she saw Lu Chen walking over from a fork in the road in front of her. She stopped in her tracks and raised her hand to wave at him. She thought to herself, "Stinky man, I'm in a good mood today. Hurry up and tell me a few jokes to amuse me. In the future, I'll purify you."
Who knew that today, Lu Chen seemed to have some thoughts in his mind. His eyes were always looking forward, and his face seemed to be deep in thought as he walked past. He actually didn't notice Dingdang's greeting and just walked past her.
Dingdang was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt a burst of anger. She stared hatefully at Lu Chen's back and clenched her teeth. She thought to herself, "This stinky man is indeed useless. When I become an immortal in the future, no matter how much you beg me or kneel in front of me, I won't purify you."
She turned her head and raised her chin like a proud peacock. She didn't look at Lu Chen anymore, but just happened to see that on the other side of Qingshui Creek, there was a group of women surrounding them. In the middle of the group, there was a handsome man standing with a smile. If it wasn't Young Master Li Ji, who else could it be?
Dingdang's heart jumped. She couldn't be bothered with Lu Chen anymore. She lifted her dress and hurriedly walked towards the other side of Qingshui Creek.
