Chapter 40: Empty Title
After Xie Yukun was helped up by everyone, he saw that his face was pale, his breathing was short, and sweat the size of soybeans continued to leach on his forehead, so frightened that the maids hurriedly wiped him with a cloth towel.
Lin Jun knelt beside him and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
After Xie Yukun saw Lin Jun, as if he had seen a monster, he hit a spirit all over his body, and said vaguely: "Terrible, too terrible." ”
Lin Jun said on the side: "Master, what happened to make a cultivator like you afraid?"
At this time, Xie Yukun relieved himself, and the reflected aura just now had a great impact on Xie Yukun's spiritual power, although it did not cause any harm, but the kind of coercion that was difficult to express in words caused a great shock to Xie Yukun's heart.
Xie Yukun looked at Lin Jun in front of him, and thought: Where did this guy come from, he is simply a strange thing, except for being a flame body, he can cultivate the "Blazing Flame Sutra" that most people can't cultivate, and the potential of his spiritual power is simply unfathomable. Where did this guy come from, if this person is cultivated well, the future is limitless.
In front of everyone, of course Xie Yukun would not admit that he was injured by Lin Jun's spiritual power, otherwise, it would be an extremely shameless thing.
Xie Yukun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In order to improve Lin Jun's spiritual power just now, the old man consumed more true qi and hurt his spirit, but if he doesn't care, he will be able to recover soon." ”
As soon as Xie Yukun's words came out, all the maids present were impressed by Lin Jun, a great elder in the Zizhu Gate, the supreme chief of the entire Divine Medicine Valley, and Xie Yukun, whose cultivation was unfathomable, did not hesitate to spend his true qi to boost Lin Jun's spiritual power, which showed how heavy Lin Jun's position was in Xie Yukun's mind, and when several maids looked at Lin Jun, they all felt that this young man was a person with great potential in the entire Divine Medicine Valley.
Xie Yukun asked, "Lin Jun, you try it and see if your spiritual power has improved a lot." ”
Lin Jun calmed down, feeling that his perception and exploration power were indeed much stronger than before, and the sound of the heartbeat of several maids beside him and the slight breathing, Lin Jun could fully feel it.
Lin Jun concentrated his spiritual power and stared at the tall alchemy furnace, his spiritual power penetrated through his body, penetrated the thick furnace wall, and sure enough, he saw the huge piece of dark iron hanging in the alchemy furnace.
Lin Jun nodded and said, "Master, the disciple has seen that piece of dark iron. ”
Xie Yukun nodded and said: "Very good, I also have a set of mantras for exercising spiritual power, and I will teach you at the same time, if you practice diligently in the morning and evening, you will definitely be able to build a solid foundation for spiritual power." I will give you some Nourishing Pills to further enhance your spiritual power, and after you reach a certain level, you can achieve the effect of repelling things in the air. ”
Xie Yukun and Lin Jun returned from the alchemy room deep underground to another alchemy room in the alchemy hall through the teleportation array.
This alchemy room is still very large, fully equipped and luxuriously decorated.
Xie Yukun pointed to this alchemy room and said: "This alchemy room is also my exclusive alchemy room, and the people in the entire alchemy hall know that this alchemy room is my exclusive alchemy room, but they don't know the alchemy room just now, when you go down below in the future, you can come here first, and then go down through the teleportation array from here, so that in the eyes of outsiders, everyone will think that you are here to help me with alchemy, and there will be no other suspicions." ”
After coming out of here, Xie Yukun ordered someone to arrange a place for Lin Jun to live in the Alchemy Hall, and most of the disciples of the Divine Medicine Valley lived in the Alchemy Hall.
Lin Jun didn't like this kind of place where he didn't see the sun, the moon and the light, so he politely declined Xie Yukun's kindness, saying that he was still willing to live in the medicine garden.
Xie Yukun did not object, and asked people to find a separate small courtyard outside for Lin Jun to live in.
When he returned, Lin Jun took the tiger head golden token given to him by Xie Yukun and went to the office of the Alchemy Palace, the tiger head token was a symbol of the identity of the Sanpin elder. The people in the office didn't dare to slack off, and immediately gave Lin Jun a set of light cyan splendid robes, which were the standard clothing of the third-grade elders of the Alchemy Hall of the Divine Medicine Valley. Lin Jun also received a storage ring. After bringing it on, Lin Jun felt that the storage ring was indeed one level higher than the Qiankun bag, not only the storage space was very large, but also the storage ring could be opened through his divine sense, and with his divine sense, he would immediately appear in his hands with the things he wanted, much faster than taking things from the Qiankun bag.
Lin Jun thought to himself: If you can find some high-quality weapons and put them in the storage ring, when facing the enemy, you can quickly hold the weapon in your hand just by relying on your divine sense, saving the void when holding the weapon, and giving the other party a chance to take advantage of.
As the third-grade elder of the Divine Medicine Valley, Lin Jun could have a separate place to live. If he chooses to live in the Alchemy Hall, the office will assign him a suite that connects the living room to the bedroom. If you choose to live outside, the office will arrange a separate small courtyard for Lin Jun according to Xie Yukun's wishes.
Lin Jun had just had a melee with the people in the Alchemy Palace, and now, his popularity here can be said to be extremely poor, Lin Jun didn't want to live with that group of snobbers with high eyes, so Lin Jun chose to live outside.
Most of the people in the Divine Medicine Valley live in the Alchemy Hall, not only is the temperature here suitable, the four seasons are like spring, but the aura in the cave is also very rich, which is very helpful for cultivators. Therefore, outside the alchemy hall, there are many idle small courtyards. Lin Jun chose a small courtyard not too far from Chen Wu and Zhao Sheng's homes.
Who knew that not long after Lin Jun came out of the Alchemy Palace, the two first-class elders who helped Xie Yukun manage his daily affairs in the Alchemy Hall appeared in Xie Yukun's study angrily.
These two Yipin elders hold real power in the Alchemy Hall, one is named He Chengming, and manages the distribution, appointment, promotion, and assessment and discipline of all the disciples in the Alchemy Hall. The other is named Wei Qing, this person manages the materials and supplies used in the entire Alchemy Hall, and except for Xie Yukun's unique alchemy room that he doesn't know, all the large and small alchemy rooms in the entire Alchemy Hall are under his control. It can be said that these two elders, one in charge of people and the other in charge of things, are in charge of all the affairs in the alchemy hall.
He Chengming first said: "Great Elder Xie, Lin Jun'er is extremely rebellious, today he made a big fuss in front of the Alchemy Palace, injured many of my disciples, this person should have been severely punished, the Great Elder forgave him for his sins, that is, why did he make him a third-grade elder?"
Wei Qing said: "In my alchemy hall, how many disciples have worked hard all their lives, but in the end, they can't even be a steward, and how many stewards and deacons and even Dharma protectors have worked hard for decades, but they can't find a position as a third-grade elder. Lin Jun, a fledgling child, a beginner disciple who has cultivated to only the eighth level of the forging body, how can He De be named a third-grade elder. ”
He Chengming and Wei Qing sang and harmonized, and said, "Great Elder, this matter has been spread in the entire Alchemy Hall, and many disciples can't swallow this breath, and they want to come to you to ask for an explanation. If it weren't for us forcibly suppressing everyone, I'm afraid I wouldn't be the only one who appeared in your study at this time. ”
Looking at the two people chattering in front of him, Xie Yukun thought to himself: Where are you petitioning for everyone, you are obviously using the topic to play, a few days ago, the two of you drew up a list and asked me to promote ten stewards to third-grade elders. Can the Alchemy Hall use so many third-grade elders? Could it be that I am here as a wholesaler of third-grade elders? I rejected your list, and you are dissatisfied, so you took advantage of Lin Jun's matter to come to me today. ”
Although Xie Yukun's cultivation is much higher than the two in front of him, he is also the top boss of these two people. However, the family has family rules and national laws, and there are strict rules in the Zizhu Gate, that is, all the elders who have cultivated to the top are not allowed to punish and punish the elders under them for no reason, and the elders below can fully express their opinions. Therefore, Xie Yukun still has to maintain the excellent situation of stability and unity.
Xie Yukun smiled and said, "You two don't know, there is a special reason why I promoted Lin Jun to the rank of third-grade elder. When I was refining the elixir, the strength of the earth fire was not enough, so I wanted to set up a bellows next to the alchemy furnace and rely on the bellows to control the earth fire. However, the earth fire is fierce, big and small, don't say that our other disciples here, even the two of you don't dare to get too close to the earth fire. If you are accidentally injured by the earth fire, then years of cultivation will probably be ruined in one fell swoop. Where neither of you dare to go, I don't dare to let the other disciples in the Alchemy Hall go, after all, these people have been with me for so many years, and their feelings are deep, and I really don't want to see anyone hurt or even lose their lives because of this. So when I participated in this Inner Gate Elite Disciple Selection Competition, I picked a shrewd and clever one from there. This person is Lin Jun, I asked him to come, I didn't mean anything else, just to help me pull the bellows. We have rules here, it's not that a third-rank elder can't enter and leave my territory at will, so I gave him an empty title of third-rank elder. Lin Jun, a third-grade elder, doesn't care about people or things, he doesn't care about the big and small things in the alchemy hall, he only pulls the bellows for me, so he can be regarded as an elder who pulls bellows. Besides, pulling the bellows close to the earth fire is a very dangerous job, even if it is not an exaggeration to give someone an empty title of a third-grade elder. ”
After listening to Xie Yukun's words, He Chengming and Wei Qing naturally had nothing to say, and the two of them bowed and saluted: "The Great Elder has such an arrangement, and we have nothing to say, so let's go back and appease everyone and let them stop making trouble." ”
After the two elders left, Xie Yukun thought to himself, "I have been obsessed with refining pills all these years. I handed over all the big and small things in the alchemy hall to the two of you, and the two of you are in charge enough, and the stewards and deacons up and down have almost been replaced by the two of you, it seems that even if I give Lin Jun some real power, it is not too much. ”
