When Liang Chen woke up from enlightenment, the master and senior brother had disappeared.

He held the talisman leaf in his hand tightly and saluted respectfully into the distant sky.

A pop-up window appears in the system that has not completed the task for the time being.

Because this time, the task description was to let Liang Chen refine an Ice, Fire and Cold Heaven Talisman, not for him to obtain it from somewhere else.

But now Liang Chen already has a detailed object in his hands.

Having witnessed the whole process of the master's drawing of talismans, coupled with the help of the "Four Elephants Treasure Book" and Zhu Youshu, presumably Liang Chen's understanding of the talisman will be improved to a higher level again.

It was only a matter of time before the Ice, Fire and Frost Talisman was drawn.

The problem of the limited-time challenge was completely solved, which was of course a big surprise for Liang Chen.

Of course, in comparison, being able to see the legendary master and senior brother Zong Qingyang today shows that Liang Chen's Dao is not shallow.

It's just that from beginning to end, Liang Chen didn't figure out what these two wanted to do.

As he hurried in the direction of Courtyard A, he quickly went through the main points of the conversation between the master and himself in his mind.

The master first asked him if he believed in fate.

Then he persuaded him to leave the Burial Sword Mountain.

Then he asked about the death of Steward Xu.

In the end, he used a shocking pen to replace the inkstone that Liang Chen drew from the system.

None of these things seem to be related individually or together.

But Liang Chen faintly felt that there should be a key, or rather, a line, that connected it all.

It's just that he still can't understand what he means.

Besides.

The Master also revealed several very crucial pieces of information this time.

The master of Luming Academy seemed to know the identity of Liang Chen's traverser.

also noticed the inside story of Steward Xu's death.

But for some reason, he seemed to dispel the idea of letting Liang Chen leave the mountain, and instead gave him the ice, fire, and cold heaven talisman that Liang Chen urgently needed.

The change in the Master's attitude before and after was somewhat sudden.

Is it purely because of the stone inkstone he sent?

Liang Chen frowned, sighing that the thoughts of the big man were indeed not something that a mortal like himself could understand.

But no matter what, this encounter with the master and the senior brother is actually a big profit for Liang Chen.

He not only exchanged a completely useless collection of stone inkstones for an infinitely wonderful pen.

He also got an Ice, Fire and Chill Talisman.

I even had the opportunity to observe the Tao with my own eyes and see the whole process of the master's drawing of talismans.

It's really beneficial.

Of course, there are regrets.

For example, now Liang Chen still doesn't know what the master's real name is.

I don't know how much the master and the senior brother have a good impression of him, whether it is negative or not.

This is the first time that such a bug has appeared in the friend system.

Liang Chen was caught off guard.

With that in mind.

Liang Chen subconsciously pulled out his friend list again, wanting to study how many ingots were needed to improve the favorability of the master and the senior brother.

However, it wasn't until then that he found out.

It turns out that behind the question mark between the master and the elder brother, there is no "one-click promotion" option!

This......

Liang Chen was completely dead now.

But at this time, he suddenly felt a chill in the corner of his eyes, and he caught a glimpse of Sun Congsheng's favorability.

75。

Not low.

But Liang Chen seems to remember that Sun Congsheng's favorability towards him was more than eighty years ago, right?

He wasn't sure.

After all, as his reputation in Luming Academy grew, so did the names on his friend list.

I don't have time to check everyone's favorability one by one on weekdays.

It is even more impossible to remember everyone's favorability so clearly.

But Liang Chen's intuition told him that Sun Congsheng's favorability towards him should have decreased.

Then he looked at the names of several old acquaintances.

Except for Tang Shishi's side, nothing has changed.

The rest, such as Yuan Tong, Zhu Yuan, Song Ruoqing, etc., also showed some varying degrees of decline.

Of course, Liang Chen understands that friends are from everywhere.

No matter how good a friend you are, if you don't contact each other for too long, the relationship will naturally fade.

He and Sun Congsheng have been meeting each other more frequently, and when he was choosing the exam in the inner courtyard before, Sun Congsheng was still escorting him at the door of the Lecture Hall.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that most of the time Sun Congsheng, Tang Shishi and others are standing on the platform for Liang Chen, waving the flag for him, and giving him absolute support.

It's not how friends get along.

is more like a little brother like Yu Dapeng and Zhao Lei.

Friends are mutual.

In all fairness, Liang Chen is indeed not very good at handling such interpersonal relationships, in his previous life, his good brothers were all killed on the battlefield with him, and they performed tasks together almost every day, and their feelings were naturally different.

But practice is not a war.

Cultivation is very boring, even if everyone is in Luming Academy, there are not so many opportunities to meet on weekdays.

That is to say, Liang Chen is an outlier in the cultivation path, and after being admitted to the hospital, he rarely calms down honestly to practice, that is, the period before the selection of the examination in the inner courtyard is considered a small closure for him.

Or is it because the divine consciousness and the sea of qi have been hit hard, and they belong to a state of semi-cultivation and half-cultivation......

So how can you get along with these friends without using the system?

It's okay to give gifts or something, but it's secondary.

The key is to meet from time to time, and everyone communicates more.

So Liang Chen naturally thought of the oldest way to enhance friendship.

In this world, there is nothing that can't be solved by eating a hot pot.

If you can't solve it with a meal.

Then eat two.

I think that at the beginning, he attacked Shen Huai in Courtyard A and seriously injured him, which was originally a very serious matter, but as a result, he had a hot pot with several courtyard leaders, and it seemed that everything was solved.

Of course, Wen Bichu's attitude towards Liang Chen may be the most critical.

But all in all, eating hot pot or something, may be a solution.

So when Liang Chen returned to Courtyard A, he immediately discussed it with his sister, and then sent his own invitations to the Three Peaks and Six Courtyards.

Of course, the head is to celebrate that he was admitted to the four-rank talisman master, so he invited his friends to come and have fun.

Among the several heads of the hospital, he only called Jiang Hao and Qiao Zhuangxian.

At the level of teaching, only Yuan Tong was called.

As for people like Qian Yuanxin, Shuang'er, Tang Shishi, Sun Congsheng and others, naturally none of them can be left behind.

Since there are gatherings at the level of friends, such as Huang Yingxiong, Hua Hui and other inner court disciples, Liang Chen did not call any of them, so as not to change the taste of this hot pot.

Compared with other dishes, boiling hot pot is of course a more convenient means.

Liang Yuling prepared quickly.

Liang Chen was also on the side to help.

Today's preparation is a mandarin duck pot, so Liang Yuling is responsible for boiling the soup, and Liang Chen is responsible for stir-frying.

The two sisters and brothers are happy together.

On weekdays, if Liang Yuling is at home, she will never let her younger brother into the kitchen, but today's Liang Chen rarely persevered, and Liang Yuling couldn't help it, so he could only let him go.

The kitchen area of Courtyard A is not large, but it carries a lot of secrets.

For example, after killing He Mian, his clothes were burned under the stove.

Another example is the wooden shelf next to which the ingredients are stacked, but it is actually a secret door.

After opening it, Senior Brother Mao was locked inside.

Today, Liang Chen invited his friends to come to the door, which is of course a happy thing, and naturally he should not mention some heavy topics at this moment.

But Liang Chen's gaze swept over his sister's ankles that were tightly wrapped in snow cloth from time to time, and he hesitated to speak.

Liang Yuling herself is a quick-witted person, and she has practiced the art of Tongxin in the Qingxin Academy, so of course she can see that her younger brother is a little absent-minded, and immediately asked, "Did you encounter any trouble today?"

Liang Chen shook his head.

He stir-fried the chili oil in the pot vigorously, and after being silent for a moment, he finally asked, "Sister, is the Ice Muscle Pill I refined before useful?"

Hearing this, Liang Yuling's eyes were shocked.

Then he sighed lightly and said, "It seems that it has no effect for the time being, since the opening of the sea cultivation, my body has not changed much, it should be fine." ”

"Hmmm......"

Liang Chen replied, and then asked, "Since it's not a toxin, and it's not cortical alienation, could it be some kind of Gu spell?" I heard that this kind of way seems to be prevalent in southern Xinjiang......

Liang Yuling couldn't help laughing: "Our family is not a rich and prominent family, where would anyone go to such great lengths, maybe it's like a birthmark, it's not a big deal." ”

Liang Chen nodded, seemingly agreeing with his sister's statement.

But when he recalled his master's words, he felt a little heavy.

The siblings did not continue this topic, but instead talked about some interesting facts about Sixiang Temple and Qingxin Temple.

In a short time, the hot pot was ready.

The friends invited by Liang Chen also came to Courtyard A.

As soon as Qian Yuanxin entered the house, he discussed business with Liang Chen.

In his opinion, now that Liang Chen has become a fourth-grade talisman master, in addition to selling pills on a daily basis, it seems that he can also sell some talismans or something, with the posture of grabbing business with Tianguang Pavilion......

As for Tang Shishi, today is also more down-to-earth and generous than in the past.

Maybe it was because Qiao Zhuang was idle, so he simply asked the senior brother of the head of the academy some questions about talisman making.

During this period, Liang Chen gave Tang Shishi the hunting bow he had drawn before.

The other party did not refuse, and there was a rare joy between his eyebrows.

And Tang Shishi's favorability towards Liang Chen immediately rose significantly, and she was about to break through the ninety level.

It can be seen from this.

Liang Chen's path can be regarded as the right one......

Because of Liang Chen's relationship, these people who came here today are familiar with each other, even Jiang Hao didn't grasp the identity of his head of the hospital, but chatted with the big guys with relish.

In addition, for Liang Chen, today's hot pot has not officially started to eat, so he ushered in a surprise first.

Because Jiang Hao sent the sunspot back.

Heizi still looked like a stuffy gourd, and although he was happy to see Liang Chen, he didn't tell his sadness with a handful of snot and tears, but simply explained the development of the Black Dragon Society before.

But he didn't know anything about how the Black Dragon Society was expelled from Drinking Horse Town by the garrison after that.

Liang Chen had a number in his heart, comforted the sunspot for a while, and also handed over the "Ming Heart Formula" to the sunspot, so that he could practice in the academy with peace of mind.

Seeing that the people are almost there, this hot pot should also be eaten.

But the sadness between Liang Chen's eyebrows did not dissipate for a long time.

Because Sun Congsheng did not come.
