Immortality

Chapter 24: Hatred
Zheng Jinli's words were quickly passed down by Taoist Shuimu.

When Fang Sheng heard Taoist Shuimu asking him what kind of woman he liked, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

He has so many secrets that even the person next to him can hardly trust him.

It’s okay to have a female confidante, but she is not suitable to be married.

Besides, Zheng Jinli hoped that he would have children immediately after the wedding.

Once you have offspring, you have more concerns and responsibilities.

This will greatly distract him...

Until Taoist Shuimu said that the elixirs and spirit stones in the dowry were enough for him to practice to the middle stage of Qi Refining.

Fang Sheng was slightly moved.

but.

He quickly controlled the greed in his heart.

After going around in circles, he finally declined Taoist Shuimu's kindness.

"Alas, although the elixir spirit stone is good, it also brings a lot of trouble."

"Once you accept this marriage, you will be completely bound to the Zheng family."

Experienced two reincarnations.

Fang Sheng’s mentality is still young, but he also has past life experience.

He saw clearly that this dowry was a one-time deal.

In Zheng Jinli's imagination.

After entering the Zheng family, he only needs to be responsible for having children, supporting his wife and educating his children, and letting the descendants inherit his understanding.

Apart from this, he would not be able to obtain any other resources from the Zheng family.

After all, his spiritual roots were too poor.

Even if one is a member of the Zheng family, it is impossible to cultivate three spiritual roots.

What's more, he is an outsider.

The Zheng family is now in trouble both internally and externally, so they would rather join in rashly just for this little bit of resources.

Not a wise move.

……

Fang Sheng thought that the matter ended there.

As a result, Zhao Miaoyan came to his house the next day.

He only then knew.

He became famous overnight in Ziyan Valley.

"Whether it's the Zheng family monks or the various villas and towns, people have heard of your reputation, and there are many women who want to marry you!"

Zhao Miaoyan was so envious that he was drooling.

Fang Sheng gestured for him to wipe the corners of his mouth.

He chuckled and asked again:

"Brother Fang, can you really study the alchemy book and practice at the same time?"

"Well, you want to learn too?"

"Brother Fang, stop joking. Don't I know my own weight?"

"Oh, right, now that the five-year period is almost up, Xian Miao can choose to expand into other industries..."

"I heard that Ah He is ready to sign up."

"Ah He?"

Fang Sheng thought of Xian Miao who had married the daughter of a retainer.

They are also considered acquaintances.

Zhao Miaoyan sighed:

"Ah He is in such a miserable state now."

"After moving to Master Li Fu's house, that tigress treated him like a servant every day and they have never slept together..."

"He even hid the registration for the overseas posting from that tigress."

Fang Sheng frowned, feeling that something was wrong with this marriage.

Zhao Miaoyan noticed his doubts.

He looked around and lowered his voice quietly:

"Brother Fang, don't spread it out."

"I heard that the tigress was not Master Li Fu's biological daughter, but his goddaughter. They were having an affair, and Ah He was just used for the show..."

"what?!"

……

The next few days.

Fang Sheng was taken by Taoist Shuimu to the Zheng family's alchemy room to observe.

At the same time, do what you can.

The Zheng family's alchemists are now all overloaded with work because of the He family's order.

The alchemy furnace almost never stops.

What Fang Sheng needs to do is to sense the situation inside the alchemy furnace.

If any abnormality occurs, immediately notify the alchemist to come and handle it.

Other aspects have nothing to do with him for the time being.

and.

Fang Sheng always felt that the alchemists in the alchemy room were very wary of his attitude towards him.

"After all, this is the Zheng family's way of eating, so it's normal to be on guard against outsiders."

……

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. That day was getting dark.

Fang Sheng had just returned to the Qingfenglin Dojo.

Just outside the gate, I saw an unexpected person.

"Zhou Yan?"

"Brother Fang!"

The person who came was the young master from the wealthy family.

Zhou Yan smiled warmly, even with a bit of attentiveness and flattery.

Fang Sheng had never thought that he would see this kind of expression on this young man's face.

"Here comes with bad intentions."

He had a premonition.

Zhou Yan is a man who never gets up early unless there is something beneficial to him.

Moreover, he usually doesn't even pretend.

When he first arrived at the Zheng family, this person lacked a sense of security.

So he devoted himself to forming cliques and factions, and tried hard to win over himself and Zhao Miaoyan.

Once things calm down, he immediately ignores people.

I'm too lazy to even say hello when we meet.

"Brother Fang, it's been a long time since we last met. We're all from the same hometown, let's go in and talk..."

Zhou Yan lowered his posture.

Follow Fang Sheng into the courtyard.

After interrupting him from praising the yard environment.

Zhou Yan finally told his purpose:
"In fact, I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and was upset, so I turned down the responsibility of taking care of Senior Dingshi..."

"I have been regretting this for a long time. I really want to play another game of chess with Senior Dingshi."

"So, I hope Brother Fang can say a few good words for me."

"hey-hey!"

Zhou Yan smiled awkwardly.

There is no trace of the gentlemanly demeanor he once had.

Fang Sheng frowned slightly, feeling strange.

This person is too humble.

If the person in front of him was a secular middle-aged man in his thirties, he would not find it strange.

However, Zhou Yan is not yet twenty years old.

He used to be extremely arrogant in his behavior and treatment of others.

Even if one is profit-oriented, he would not make such a gesture.

'What has he been through in the past year or so?'

Fang Sheng became more and more confused.

Suddenly, Zhou Yan took something out from his pocket:
"This is the letter of apology I wrote to Senior Dingshi, as well as the pills to make amends to him."

"Brother Fang, I'm not going to hide it from you."

"This elixir is called the Longevity Pill. I found it by chance outside. It can extend the life of a Qi-refining cultivator by two years!"

"Don't let the news leak out. You must hand it over to Senior Dingshi in person..."

See the jade bottle handed over by Zhou Yan.

Fang Sheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Longevity Pill, he naturally knew about this kind of pill.

However, is this something that Zhou Yan, who is in the early stage of Qi Refining, can get?
At this time.

Zhou Yan took out another jade bottle from his arms:
"And this is Brother Fang's reward, a bottle of Jade Breakthrough Pill, which can help you break through the bottleneck of the early stage of Qi Refining."

"Even when breaking through the middle stage of Qi Refining, it has a certain effect."

He opened the jade bottle in front of him and poured out a round, crystal clear jade pill, which emitted a strong and exotic fragrance.

"Come, Brother Fang, take a look!"

"Well, it is indeed a good medicine."

Fang Sheng picked up a pill and held it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully.

From his perspective.

This is indeed a perfect pill.

It can even cause abnormal movement of mana in the body...

"The problem is that the Green Lotus of Samsara has also reacted..."

'The essence and blood are only the medicine. A successfully refined pill will not have any residual blood evil.'

"Only waste pills or poison pills would use something harmful to monks!"

'Zhou Yan is poisoning me!'

"No, it's not just me, his target also includes Niu Dan..."

The moment the elixir is in hand.

Fang Sheng had already figured out Zhou Yan's plan clearly.

This young man has excellent acting skills, but he was too impatient and over-acted.

Lacks the calmness and composure of veteran artists.

Think of this.

Fang Sheng smiled calmly:
"I will definitely convey your sincerity to Senior Dingshi..."

　Thank you Dongshanshi for the reward and support.
