17. Chapter 17: A slap in the face

Fang Lin lay lazily on the bamboo chair, looking at Xu Shangao, who was sweating profusely next to the Dan furnace, and made a few words from time to time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Since Xu Shangao accepted Fang Lin's guidance, the level of alchemy has also improved a lot, and the pills refined for those martial sect disciples, except for some of them that were refined by Fang Lin, the others were all refined by Xu Shangao himself.

There was a muffled sound, and a cloud of black smoke rose in front of Xu Shangao, and Fang Lin knew at a glance that this guy's alchemy had failed.

Xu Shangao was not discouraged, cleaned up the black slag in the Dan furnace, and started alchemy again.

"Concentrate your mind, don't be half-hearted, alchemy will be alchemy, don't think about anything else. Fang Lin reminded.

Xu Shangao nodded, his spirit became extremely focused, without the slightest distraction, this time, he really succeeded in refining the pill that had failed before.

Xu Shan smiled happily, in the past, his alchemy success rate could be said to be pitifully low, and many new formal disciples had already surpassed him.

Now, Xu Shangao is no longer the Xu Shangao of the past, at least among the inferior formal disciples, Xu Shangao is no longer the kind that is at the bottom.

Xu Shangao already had a plan, and when he was in the formal disciple assessment at the end of the year, he would try it and strive to enter the ranks of the middle formal disciples.

Although he may not be able to succeed, Xu Shangao still wants to give it a go, in case it happens, then he will completely turn over among the official disciples.

If it was before, Xu Shangao probably wouldn't dare to think about it, after all, a middle disciple was too far away for him.

"Senior Brother Fang, what are your plans for this year? I think you can become an official disciple after two assessments, just like that Danzong wizard back then. Xu Shangao finished refining the elixir and chatted with Fang Lin.

Fang Lin squinted at Xu Shangao and said, "Why can't I become an official disciple at one time?"

Xu Shangao shook his head and said very seriously: "Although Senior Brother Fang, you are a genius, but the assessment of Dantong's disciples is very difficult, the most outstanding one in the history of Danzong also became a formal disciple after two assessments, and I can't tell you in detail, after all, the assessment is not the same every year." ”

When Fang Lin heard this, he was also a little interested, and asked, "Then how many people became official disciples last year?"

Xu Shangao said: "There are only seven. ”

"And what about the year before last?"

"There were five the year before last. ”

"Senior Brother Xu, you became an official disciple a few years ago?" Fang Lin asked curiously.

Xu Shangao showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said: "I became an official disciple the year before last, including me, there were a total of nine people at that time, and that year was also recognized as a relatively easy year for assessment. ”

Fang Lin suddenly looked at Xu Shangao with deep meaning, with a playful smile on his face.

Xu Shangao was a little vain by Fang Lin's eyes, and hurriedly changed the topic: "So Senior Brother Fang, you still don't want to become a formal disciple after one assessment, this is simply impossible." ”

Fang Lin smiled and said, "In this world, nothing is absolute, didn't you think that Dantong disciples couldn't refine Dan before?"

Hearing this, Xu Shangao smiled helplessly, in his opinion, a freak like Fang Lin was too rare, and it couldn't be judged by common sense at all.

"Senior Brother Xu, it's been three years since you became an official disciple, but it's really impossible to say that you can be mixed up like this. Fang Lin shook his head and said.

Xu Shangao's face was ashamed and embarrassed, which was indeed a bit embarrassing, three years later, he was still an inferior disciple, and several other people who became official disciples at the same time as him almost all became middle disciples, only Xu Shangao, who was still up and down in the ranks of inferior disciples.

"Alas, I have been a Dantong disciple for five years before I became an official disciple in the last assessment, and I am also lucky, if I fail that time, I can only be sent to various properties of the Zixia Sect. Xu Shangao said with emotion.

Fang Lin glanced at Xu Shangao with pity, it turned out that this guy was also lucky to become an official disciple.

Just when the two of them were chatting with each other, a neutral voice sounded outside: "Is Senior Brother Xu here?"

As soon as Xu Shangao and Fang Lin heard it, they knew that there should be another disciple of the Martial Sect who came here to ask Xu Shangao for alchemy.

At that moment, Xu Shan Gao answered, and then walked out of the alchemy room, Fang Lin was idle and bored, and walked out together.

I saw two people standing in the courtyard, both young people, one in a red robe standing in front, one in a blue robe standing in the back, the young man in the blue robe looked younger, and there was a hint of respect on his face.

The red robe is the symbol of the official disciples of the Martial Sect, and the blue robe is the symbol of the sword-wielding disciples of the Martial Sect.

The sword-wielding disciples of the Martial Sect are just like the disciples of the Danzong Dantong, they are all wearing blue robes, and they are not the official disciples of the Martial Sect.

When Fang Lin saw the blue-robed young man, his expression was stunned, and then he showed a smile, this blue-robed young man was still an acquaintance.

When the blue-robed young man saw Fang Lin appear, he was also stunned for a moment, and then his expression was a little complicated, and there was even more faint hostility.

When the red-robed young man saw Xu Shangao, he showed a kind smile, hugged his fists and said, "Senior Brother Xu, under Ouyang Cheng, I want to ask my junior brother to refine a furnace of pills for Xia." ”

Xu Shangao didn't dare to slack off, but also hugged his fists in return, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of elixir it is? If you do what you can, you will naturally not refuse Senior Brother." ”

The red-robed young man said with a smile: "It's Qiu Ludan, I also came here, if the junior brother is embarrassed, then give up." ”

"Qiu Ludan, is Senior Brother Ouyang injured?" Xu Shangao asked with a frown when he heard this.

Qiulu Dan is a healing pill, and it has a good effect on meridian injuries, as soon as Xu Shangao heard that the other party wanted to refine Qiulu Dan, he guessed that this Ouyang Cheng might have been injured by meridians.

Ouyang Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not me, it's a friend of mine." ”

Xu Shangao thought for a while, and was about to speak, when suddenly Fang Lin beside him spoke: "Senior Brother Xu, the Autumn Dew Pill is a high-grade elixir, you shouldn't be able to refine it, right?"

As soon as Fang Lin spoke, Xu Shangao paused slightly, reacted, and hurriedly said, "That's right, my ability is limited, I'm afraid I won't be able to refine the Autumn Dew Pill." ”

Ouyang Cheng immediately frowned, glanced at Fang Lin, and saw that Fang Lin was dressed as a disciple of Dantong, and immediately felt a trace of displeasure.

"Senior Brother Xu, what does this mean?" Ouyang Cheng asked with some dissatisfaction, what he said just now was good, why did the Dantong disciple next to him immediately change his attitude as soon as he spoke?

Although Xu Shangao didn't know why Fang Lin wanted him to say this, he still trusted Fang Lin very much.

"This Senior Brother Ouyang, the one behind you, has some grudges with me. Fang Lin said.

Ouyang Cheng's brows furrowed even deeper, and he turned his head to look at the blue-robed young man behind him.

"Senior Brother Fang Yang, do you know him?" asked Ouyang Cheng.

The blue-robed young man was none other than Fang Yang, a genius of the same clan as Fang Lin, who became a disciple of the Martial Sect because of his qualified roots and bones during the entrance assessment that day.

Fang Yang's face was a little ugly, but in the face of Ouyang Cheng's inquiry, he didn't dare to hide it, and said immediately: "Senior brother, this person's name is Fang Lin, and he is of the same clan as me. ”

When Ouyang Cheng heard this, he was even more confused, since they were people of the same clan, and both of them were surnamed Fang, why did this Fang Lin still say that the two of them had grievances?

Xu Shangao didn't know about this relationship, and he looked at Fang Lin and Fang Yang with a little curiosity at the moment.

Fang Yang didn't speak, but Fang Lin spoke: "Although I am of the same clan as him, he bullied me before I joined the Zixia Sect. ”

“・・・”

Xu Shangao and Ouyang Cheng were speechless, and Fang Yang stared at Fang Lin even more, he didn't expect Fang Lin to say that.

"Fang Lin, in front of the two senior brothers, you dare to talk nonsense!" Fang Yang suddenly became angry and said loudly.

Fang Lin pursed his lips and said, "You used to bully me a lot, and now you still want to bully me?" I have Senior Brother Xu's backing now, you can't bully me." ”

Fang Yang was angry and was about to get angry, but when he saw that Ouyang Cheng's face was not very good-looking, he was suddenly shocked in his heart.

Xu Shangao understood when he heard it, his feelings Fang Lin was not right with this Fang Yang, and now he was using his identity as an official disciple to fake the tiger.

Although this feeling of being used as a shield is not very good, Xu Shangao has nothing to say, just block the arrow.

"Senior Brother Ouyang, Senior Brother Fang Lin is like my sibling brother, since he has been bullied by this Fang Yang, then it is not good for me to make alchemy for Senior Brother. Xu Shangao said.

Ouyang Cheng was annoyed in his heart, glanced at Fang Lin, and then looked at Fang Yang.

Syllable!

Ouyang Cheng slapped Fang Yang hard, this slap was extremely loud, and immediately blinded Fang Yang and sat on the ground.

Fang Yang's face was sluggish, his right cheek was high and swollen, and blood was flowing down from the corner of his mouth.

"Apologize to Senior Brother Fang Lin!" Ouyang Cheng said coldly.

Fang Yang clenched his fists tightly, extremely resentful in his heart, but he had no way to resist Ouyang Cheng's order, he lowered his head at the moment, gritted his teeth and said to Fang Lin: "Fang Lin, I was wrong!"

Fang Lin nodded with a smile, patted Fang Yang's shoulder, and said, "It's good to know that you can change your mistakes, but don't get carried away anymore." ”

If it weren't for Xu Shangao and Ouyang Cheng present, Fang Yang would definitely jump up and slash Fang Lin with a knife, the hatred in his heart.

Ouyang Cheng's expression was cold, and he said, "Now Senior Brother Xu can refine the pill for me?"

Xu Shangao looked at Fang Lin, Fang Lin nodded slightly, Xu Shangao smiled and said, "Naturally, but I don't practice much in Qiulu Dan, I hope that Senior Brother will wait a few more days, how about coming to get the Dan in seven days?"

"Yes, I'll come to fetch Dan in seven days. Ouyang Cheng didn't talk nonsense, and after talking, he turned around and left, regardless of Fang Yang.

Fang Yang didn't say a word, and left behind Ouyang Cheng, glancing at Fang Lin with extremely cold and resentful eyes as he left.

After the two left, Xu Shangao smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Brother Fang, don't use me as a shield in the future, I can't afford to provoke those people in the Martial Sect." ”

Fang Lin waved his hand and said, "It's just an occasional borrowing, besides, this is the territory of our Dan Sect, and when his martial sect disciples come here, they will be coiled by dragons and tigers." ”
