"Hahaha, Elder Feng must be joking." The shopkeeper laughed loudly. Then, his tone changed. "Elder Feng, are you here to look for someone?"
"Yes, you don't need to call me. I will look for him myself."
Feng Li Keng nodded.
"Well, Elder Feng, you should know that the Immortal Pavilion does not allow guests to have accidents in the pavilion. If there are any grudges between us, why don't we wait until he leaves the Immortal Pavilion before punishing him?"
The shopkeeper said in a low voice.
"Don't worry. I am here to pay a visit to an old friend. I, Feng Li Keng, naturally know the rules of the Immortal Pavilion. I will not make it difficult for you."
Feng Li Keng lightly laughed.
"That's good. Another guest has come. I will go and greet him. Elder Feng, please do as you wish."
The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief in his heart and said with a smile.
"Yes."
Not long after that, Feng Li Keng appeared in front of Ning Qi's room.
He knocked lightly on the door.
But after a long time, nothing happened.
Seeing this, Feng Li Keng said in a clear voice, "I am Feng Li Keng from the Pill King Pavilion. May I know if you have time to open the door and see me?"
Creak...
The door opened, but it was not the door that Ning Qi had opened. Instead, it was the one beside him.
Duan Yingjun stuck his head out, looked at Feng Li Keng with a puzzled expression, and said, "Senior, why are you looking for Mr. Ning?"
"Oh? Are you a good friend of the owner of this room? Do you know that he's in the room right now? "
Feng Li Keng smiled.
"I'll shout for you."
Duan Yingjun walked out enthusiastically and knocked on the door a few times. "Mr. Ning, someone is looking for you. Are you in your room? Mr. Ning?"
"It seems that little friend is not in the room. This old man came at the wrong time."
Feng Li Keng sighed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the door slowly opened.
Ning Qi walked out from the door. After glancing at Feng Li Keng, he cupped his hands and said, "Senior, are you looking for me?"
"Yes."
After sizing up Ning Qi, Feng Li Keng knew that he had found the right person. With a smile on his face, he asked, "Little friend, can we have a chat in the room?"
"Mr. Ning, so you have an acquaintance in Cloud Rising City. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Duan Yingjun took the lead and squeezed into Ning Qi's room.
Seeing this, Ning Qi could only slightly turn his body and said, "Senior, please come in."
After entering the room, Feng Li immediately came out from the mountain path.
"Little friend, I am alien minister alchemist from Pill King Pavilion. Feng Li Keng, yesterday you went to Pill King Pavilion to buy a thousand sets of Spiritual Nourishment Pills and spiritual grass?"
"En, there is indeed such a thing. Could it be that there is a problem with the Spiritual Nourishment Pill I gave you?"
Ning Qi frowned slightly.
"That's not it. The quality of little friend's Spiritual Nourishment Pill is very high. An ordinary grandmaster alchemist would only be able to do so much. I wonder if little friend bought the spiritual grass for yourself or for the family's elders?"
Feng Li said with a smile on his face.
"Of course, he concocted it himself. Senior Feng, Mr. Ning is an alchemist!"
Duan Yingjun interrupted.
"Oh!"
Feng Li Keng's eyes lit up, and he said, "I wonder if little friend is interested in coming to my Pill King Pavilion. Don't worry. The Pill King Pavilion will definitely give little friend the best treatment! Little friend, you must be here to participate in the Cloud Rise Sect Outer Sect's disciple selection competition, right? It's the same for Pill King Pavilion, I dare not say anything else. I can give you some pointers regarding cultivation."
Duan Yingjun's face was full of envy. Although he was far away in Jiuzhou Empire's Divine Dragon Marquis Residence, the Pavilion Lord wasn't just a Pill King. If Ning Qi became the Pill King alien minister alchemist, as long as Ning Qi gave him a few simple pointers, it would be enough for him to enjoy it for the rest of his life!
"This, please forgive me for not being able to comply."
Ning Qi thought for a moment, then smiled and cupped his hands, rejecting the offer.
Pausing for a moment, he continued, "My goal is to become an outer circle disciple of the Cloud Rising Sect, so I can't accept senior's good intentions."
"Mr. Ning, what kind of stupid brain are you? Putting aside how difficult it is to become an outer circle disciple, even if you become one, how can you compare to alien minister alchemist's status?"
Duan Yingjun said anxiously.
"How about this, little friend? If you fail in the selection competition, my Pill King Pavilion will still be open to you. You can come and find me when the time comes."
Feng Li Keng thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"In that case, I would like to thank Senior Feng for his kindness."
Ning Qi smiled and nodded his head.
After Feng Li Keng asked about Ning Qi's background and his master, he stood up and left.
Once he left, Duan Yingjun sighed and said, "Mr. Ning, you should have agreed on the spot. At least there is a Battle Sovereign in the Pill King Pavilion who can teach you personally. Compared to going to Cloud Rising Sect to be a phoenix tail, I would rather be a chicken head. If Senior Feng invites me, I will have to climb to the Pill King Pavilion even if I have to crawl now. It's a pity that I don't know how to concoct pills..."
" Mr. Duan, it's not right for you to think this way. Entering the Cloud Rising Sect... You will have a chance to become an inner circle disciple, then a true disciple, and then an elder. Perhaps, you will be able to become a Sect Leader in the future, and your future will be countless times greater than in the Pill King Pavilion. Don't you know how to calculate something as simple as this?"
Ning Qi said with a smile.
"But..."
Duan Yingjun clearly knew that what Ning Qi said was wrong, but he couldn't find any words to refute. He had no choice but to help Ning Qi regret the opportunity to go to Pill King Pavilion. At the same time, he promised Ning Qi, "Mr. Ning, don't worry. No matter what, I will protect your life in this selection competition. If I fail as well, you will be able to take care of me when you go to the Pill King Pavilion. I really don't want to go back to the Divine Dragon Marquis Residence with my tail between my legs. "
"Mr. Duan, if you trust me, you won't be crestfallen the next time you return to the Divine Dragon Marquis Residence."
Ning Qi said with a faint smile.
Although Duan Yingjun felt that it was a little strange for a Peak Battle Spirit to say this, he still believed it in his heart.
...
Three days later.
Ning Qi and Duan Yingjun walked out of the Immortal Pavilion together. Coincidentally, they bumped into the two brothers from the Heavenly Sword Marquis family who robbed Duan Yingjun's courtyard.
"Cough cough."
Duan Yingjun coughed loudly.
The two of them looked at the source of the sound and were slightly startled.
Duan Yingjun said in surprise, "Ah, so it's the two of you. I wonder how comfortable the courtyard is. Sigh, the bed in this Immortal Pavilion that I live in has always been a little hard. I slept until my back ached, but it's still worth 300 Low-grade Spirit Crystal a night. If you give me a choice, I'd rather have 10 Low-grade Spirit Crystal a night in the courtyard. "
The two of them were dumbfounded.
"They actually live in the Immortal Pavilion?"
When he thought about how he mocked Duan Yingjun and Ning Qi for sleeping in the corner of the wall, his face couldn't help but burn.
"Hmph! No matter where you live, if you want to become a disciple of the Cloud Rise Sect Outer Sect, we have to see the truth in the selection competition. I hope that you can still be as relaxed as you are now."
The slightly older youth sneered, then pulled his younger brother and left.
"What a stubborn man."
Duan Yingjun looked at his back disdainfully and cursed in a low voice.
"Let's go too. If we are late and miss the selection, it will not be beautiful."
Ning Qi said with a smile.
