The few of them sat around the stone table. After a few bowls of wine, the atmosphere changed. The four of them were less courteous and more straightforward. After some small talk, Yue Qianchou had a rough understanding of the three of them. He could tell that Ling Feng and Bei Zi were candid and straightforward. They were passionate people, which was rare in the cultivation world. As for Xuan Ping, he was a man of few words, but one sentence could make people choke.
The three of them had good characters. Yue Qianchou felt that the three of them were worth befriending. Besides, it wasn't a bad thing to make a few friends in an unfamiliar place. However, characters were rare in the cultivation world. Moreover, he met three of them at once. Yue Qianchou had to ask in a roundabout way.
It turned out that there was no other reason other than the fact that the three of them did not know how to conduct themselves. To put it bluntly, it was because the three of them did not know how to follow the waves and flatter the people in charge. Thus, the three of them were chased together. Usually, they would only do rough and menial work that no one was willing to do. It could also be said that the three of them would rather break than bend the knee and cause trouble. Unfortunately, the three of them didn't have a good aptitude. They had failed to build their foundation once. If they failed a second time, they would be chased out of Fuxian Island.
Yue Qianchou was dumbfounded. What was the meaning of him being sent here? Why was he put together with three people who had no future? Was Guan Weiwu going to burn the bridge after crossing it? Was he going to ignore him after getting the Immortal Supporting Token?
Ling Feng seemed to see through his depression. He drank the wine in his bowl and smiled. "You were brought here by Yan Shu. I'm afraid there are some things you don't know. Yan Shu's father was Elder Yan Tuo, who was in charge of the miscellaneous matters of Fuxian Island. When Yan Shu joined the Elixir Refinery Pavilion, he used his father's name to ask Elder Guan to be his master. In the end, Elder Guan didn't give him any face. He rejected him on the spot and gave him a random master. Yan Shu was a narrow-minded person, a real villain. At that time, he was furious, but he couldn't do anything to Elder Guan. Afterwards, when Elder Guan was in his prime, he accepted a few disciples, but without exception, all of them were killed by Yan Shu. "
"Ugh …" Yue Qianchou almost spat out the wine in his mouth. After he managed to swallow it down, he heard Bei Zi chuckle and say, "Brother Yue, are you scared? You are also Elder Guan's disciple! I hope you're the exception. "
Yue Qianchou put down his wine bowl and looked at the three of them in astonishment. "It can't be that exaggerated, right? Yan Shu killed Elder Guan's future disciple just because Elder Guan didn't accept him as a disciple? "
"It can't be faked." Xuan Ping, who was immersed in his wine, concluded. Although he didn't speak much, his words were more useful than Ling Feng and Bei Zi's explanations. Yue Qianchou completely dispelled the suspicion in his heart. He asked reluctantly, "Could it be that Elder Guan doesn't even care about his own disciple being killed?"
Bei Zi chuckled again. "Haven't you heard of Elder Guan's nickname, 'Pill Addict'? Other than alchemy, I don't think there's anything else he cares about. He even forgot about the disciple he accepted today the next day. Do you think a master like this can be relied on? "
Xuan Ping, who was pouring wine, shook his head and said, "He can't be relied on."
Yue Qianchou was speechless. There was such a muddle-headed master. Why did he have to meet him? He hated himself for being blind. Why did he choose Elder Guan as his master? Damn it! My life is even more bitter than a cabbage.
Ling Feng grabbed the wine jar next to Xuan Ping and filled Yue Qianchou's bowl with wine. She said, "If it wasn't for his father's prestige and the fact that there are so many Nascent Soul cultivators, how could a Core Formation cultivator like Yan Shu be the caretaker of the Alchemy Pavilion? However, since he sent you to our courtyard, it seems like he does have the intention to harm you. Although that's the case, you don't have to worry too much. The rules of Fuxian Island aren't just for show. He won't dare to harm you openly. As long as you're vigilant, it won't be easy for him to harm you. "
Yue Qianchou nodded and didn't say anything. A fierce look flashed through his eyes. No one noticed that he already had the intention to kill Yan Shu. Although he didn't know if the Yan Shu mentioned by the three of them was really so unbearable, if he really had to live in fear every day, then there was no need to think about it. It wasn't the first time he did something like this.
However, in order to succeed in building his foundation, he still had to endure it. It was hard to find a sect with such good conditions. Moreover, what he heard was only a one-sided story from the three of them. Some things were better to see with one's own eyes. Thinking about this, Yue Qianchou cupped his hands and smiled. "Thank you three brothers for your reminder. I'll remember it. This is the first time we've met, so let's not talk about this disappointing thing. Everyone says that Fuxian Island is a blessed land. I haven't seen the beautiful scenery here. I wonder if the three brothers can take me there to see it? "
Xuan Ping shook his head. "No."
Yue Qianchou was startled. "Why?"
"Didn't Yan Shu tell you that disciples under the Foundation Establishment stage can't wander around without permission?" Ling Feng asked curiously. The other two also looked at him.
Yue Qianchou thought that Yan Shu really did tell him such a rule. At that time, he thought that Yan Shu was just scaring a newcomer like him, so he didn't take it to heart. Now, it seemed that it was true. He couldn't help but ask, "Is there really such a rule? Why is that? "
"It's very simple." Ling Feng said, "Only disciples above the Foundation Establishment stage can be considered as true disciples of Fuxian Island. They can enter any place on Fuxian Island that doesn't have any restrictions. This includes going to the Scripture Depository to read all kinds of cultivation books that can be made public in the sect. Secondly, every sect has secrets that they don't want outsiders to know. Fuxian Island is no exception. The most important thing is that disciples who fail to build their foundation three times will be expelled from the sect. Brother Yue, now you should understand why disciples under the Foundation Establishment stage can't wander around without permission, right? "
"I understand. They're afraid that those expelled disciples will leak the secrets of the Fuxian Island." Yue Qianchou frowned. "In other words, disciples who haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage like us aren't considered true disciples of Fuxian Island."
Ling Feng stood up and patted his shoulder with a smile. "Brother Yue, don't take it too hard. In the entire cultivation world, which sect's disciple is like Fuxian Island that has three chances to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill? I'm afraid there's no other sect other than Fuxian Island. Just this alone is enough to make other sects' disciples envious. As far as I know, some sects' disciples don't even have the chance to get a Foundation Establishment Pill in their entire lives. "
"Yes." Bei Zi nodded. "I've thought it through. If I fail three times and get kicked out of Fuxian Island, I have nothing to say. The chances are the same. I can only blame myself for being inferior."
"Me too." The taciturn Xuan Ping also agreed.
They had misunderstood. It wasn't that Yue Qianchou couldn't get over it, it was that Guan Yu was too dishonest. He didn't even tell him these basic things, causing him to be in the dark and keep asking idiotic questions. It was obvious that Guan Yu had a problem with his mentality, and he was deliberately trying to embarrass him. As for whether he was a true disciple of Fuxian Island, it wasn't important to him. As long as he built his foundation, everything was fine.
Moreover, he had a trump card that could solve all his troubles. Thinking about this, Yue Qianchou smiled. Wasn't Guan Weiwu the most powerful in the Elixir Refinery Pavilion? Wasn't Guan Weiwu an elixir fanatic? I don't believe that the elixir recipe of an elixir ancestor can't deal with you …
