Perhaps they felt that Su Chen's departure halfway showed some contempt and disdain for Jiang directly made a prediction about Su Chen's future. While speaking, he also looked at the two elders beside him. “Elder Shanlin, I actually agree with Elder Jiang. This child will never achieve anything in the future. He had no reverence for spiritual practice and was extremely casual about it. If we were young and had this opportunity, would we let it go?" After the elder finished speaking, another elder next to him took over the conversation. "He is so generous that he allowed us to wait for a few days in vain. Forget about people like this." Although Su Chen tried his best to explain, the three elders didn't seem to care about it.
“Young man, I’m telling you. As long as I commit to something, I can complete it no matter what obstacles there are. This is why this elder can reach the highest level, but you cannot." Hearing Elder Jiang saying this all the time, Su Chen became a little annoyed. "Elder, have you really never encountered any other emergencies?" "If we encounter this, this elder will still keep his promise." Faced with these answers, Su Chen no longer argued with him. No matter what he says, he has a scale in his heart. Not to mention just traveling with them and getting some tips on spiritual practice. Even if I could obtain some treasure left by an immortal, if my mother and sister were in danger, I would resolutely give it up. “Elder Shanlin, I suggest that you stop providing him with any assistance you have provided before. It just so happens that it hasn’t even started yet, so let’s just cancel it like this.” What Elder Jiang was talking about was exactly the benefits that Elder Wang Shanlin had brought to Su Chen before. Although Su Chen did not join the Taihe Sect, the Taihe Sect still invested cultivation resources and various guidance in Su Chen. I bet that Su Chen will achieve extraordinary things in the future. For Su Chen, if he wants to further improve his practice, he needs these resources. And through these, he could have a deeper relationship with Taihe Sect. Try to see if you can learn more about the Taihe Sect and use their power to fight against the Wulan Villa. The three elders Jiang in front of him wanted to cancel the benefits that Su Chen was about to get in just a few words.
Hearing this, Wang Shanlin quickly tried to smooth things over. “Unit elder, this punishment is too much. Su Xing was wrong this time, but we should still give young people some room to grow, right? There is no young person who does not make mistakes.” Wang Shanlin helped Su Chen explain and speak. But it still did not soften the attitude of the three elders. "Elder Shanlin, in all these years, when have I, Jiang Zhu, ever misjudged anyone? It’s a waste of resources and the sect’s manpower and resources. I mentioned Han Sanche from the Fourth Regiment to you before. His talent, potential, and willpower are many times better than this person's." In front of Su Chen, Elder Jiang Zhu spoke very directly. This was to make Wang Shanlin give up the quota to him so that he could recruit the disciples he valued. Hearing this, Wang Shanlin waved his hands and smiled as he made an excuse to decline. Because of Su Chen's incident, the originally harmonious atmosphere was no longer as pleasant as before. Before noon, the three elders found excuses to leave. Before leaving, Elder Jiang looked at Su Chen and mentioned the matter again. If Su Chen fails to demonstrate his talent and potential in cultivation within more than half a year, all related assistance will be stopped. This time, the words were far more direct than the original. When Elder Wang Shanlin heard this, he looked a little unhappy. After the three people left, Su Chen once again expressed his apologies to Elder Wang Shanlin. The mountain forest elder smiled and waved his hand. “Don’t feel guilty, everyone has urgent matters to deal with. If your life is in danger, will you still ignore it? Those three old guys are so picky and arrogant. Just treat the words they say as farts, they are nothing but stinky.” After Wang Shanlin finished speaking, he seemed to think of something. “However, Jiang Zhu’s elder brother is the second elder of our Taihe Sect. I am still worried that after half a year, he will really ask the sect to withhold your resource assistance. However, there is still at least half a year. Let’s just hold on for a while.” After hearing this, Su Chen felt even more grateful to Elder Wang Shanlin.
This elder Wang Shanlin is actually quite straightforward and honest. When interacting with such seniors, I can at least feel more at ease and be more honest. After Su Chen expressed his gratitude, Wang Shanlin smiled again. “If you really want to thank this elder, then practice hard and improve yourself. This elder thinks that you should be on the path of cultivation, and your talents and potential are actually quite good." After a conversation, Su Chen finally started to talk about some serious matters. I came to see Elder Wang Shanlin today, not only to apologize, but also to learn more about Taihe Sect. It is not just a simple understanding, but a deep understanding of the sect’s core interests. What could impress the top leaders of the sect? What interests do they care about most? Su Chen wanted to see if it was possible for him to come up with something that could impress Taihe Sect at this stage. He could get help from Taihe Sect to help him deal with Wulan Villa. Su Chen asked tactfully, and did not directly mention Wulan Villa in his words. It was time for lunch, and taking the opportunity of having lunch together, Su Chen asked a little more directly. "You're asking questions in a roundabout way. Did you offend any sect outside?" Facing Elder Wang Shanlin's questioning, Su Chen just smiled and didn't say anything further. “Don’t worry, there are so many sects in Jin State. Who hasn't offended several sects?" Elder Wang Shanlin spoke casually, but he didn't know that Su Chen and Wulan Villa were now at odds with each other. This is already a dispute involving life and death. The methods used by Wulan Villa against Su Chen were basically fatal. Starting from the initial Mingying battlefield, and then to them sending people to Da Zhou. After injuring Master Shangxuan, his mother and younger sister had to hide their identities. If they were caught by them, the warriors of Wulan Villa, who were looked down upon even by the warriors of the Great Zhou, would be in trouble. Is it possible to forgive them? Things had come to this point, and he had injured two more guards from Wulan Villa. The people from Wulan Villa will not let me go, and I am unwilling to let them go. “If you want a sect to come forward and help you fight against and suppress another sect.
Elder, this is necessary.” Hearing Su Chen's words, Wang Shanlin smiled helplessly. “You are extremely important to the sect, even irreplaceable. When you ask this question, I, as an elder, feel that I don't have enough face. If one wants to suppress a sect or deal with the elders of another sect, the sect will think about it for a long time. You have to understand that these small confrontations are likely to escalate and eventually lead to a huge quarrel between the two sects. Unless you can really make the sect feel that Taihe Sect cannot survive without you." Wang Shanlin didn't say it too directly, he still had some things to say. He actually hoped that Su Chen could understand, given Su Chen's current status and position. Other major sects came and sent troops to call for punishment. It is very likely that the Taihe Sect will not protect Su Chen at all. As long as the opponent's sect is as strong as Taihe Sect and its attitude is a little tougher, Taihe Sect will give up directly. If these were said out loud, it would be too harsh to hear. Su Chen understood the hidden meaning in the words and guessed it before he asked. But Wang Shanlin didn't know that he might actually be able to come up with some bargaining chips and negotiate with Taihe Sect. I have several destinies to fulfill, I am proficient in many techniques, and I can solve many problems. “Elder Shanlin, if I can help the sect, we can solve the monster problem more thoroughly. Is this indispensable to the sect?" Hearing this, Wang Shanlin simply shook his head. “You are not one of those ignorant people in the mountains. You should know that those monsters only need to be controlled to a certain extent. I know your abilities, but do you think the sect needs to completely eliminate all the monsters in Hongfeng Canyon? Even if it is cleaned up, how long can it last? In the eyes of the sect's top leaders, maintaining stability is enough. Because you provoked other sects, there was chaos everywhere. Although you solved the problem of the monster, you also caused other troubles. One side is stable, the other side is in chaos, how much meaning does this have for the sect?" Elder Wang Shanlin's words were even clearer and more direct. Hearing this, Su Chen also nodded. From the words of the elder Shanlin, Su Chen judged that he wanted to impress the top leaders of Taihe Sect. It must be something that can bring direct benefits to Taihe Sect.
The benefits gained must obviously exceed the losses suffered by Taihe Sect. Among the skills I have learned now, there are elixirs, mechanisms, and formations. Before Su Chen opened his mouth to mention it, Wang Shanlin, who was standing by, saw that Su Chen took it very seriously and couldn't help but ask. "Su Xing, do you have a deep hatred with that sect? Can you tell me which sect it is from?" "It should be considered a deep hatred. They don't want me to live, and I also hope that they all die. As for this sect, the relationship with Taihe Sect is not very good. I stayed here only after I learned that Taihe Sect was in opposition to them." Su Chen replied with a smile and did not take the matter too seriously. There was no answer as to which sect it was. Wang Shanlin understood Su Chen’s concerns, but his expression was much more serious than before. According to Su Chen, this is a fight to the death. “If you want the sect’s top leaders to stand up for you, you must be able to significantly improve the sect’s strength. It's not just about dealing with some monsters. Take out the skills left by the saints and give more than seven pieces of natural treasures. Apart from these, I can’t think of any possibility that the sect’s top leaders would be willing to stand up for you. In comparison, you should practice hard and improve yourself, and strive to protect yourself. Maybe this approach makes more sense.” In his hands, he did have the martial arts technique left by a saint, the "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue". But Su Chen didn't want to give it away. Hesitantly, Su Chen looked at Wang Shanlin. "Elder Shanlin, is the sect's demand for elixirs considered large?" Wang Shanlin looked at Su Chen with some confusion on his face. "What? Could it be that you, kid, also know about the art of elixirs?" Su Chen nodded: "I know a little bit, I wonder if I can get the attention of the sect with these." After hearing this, Wang Shanlin still wanted to say something discouraging. But after hesitating for a moment, his tone softened a little. “There are three alchemy workshops in the sect, I can only take you there to ask. It is up to them to judge how much value your abilities will receive.
But let me make it clear to you first, if they are just some ordinary alchemy techniques, then at most they will give you another way to earn contribution points. Although alchemists do have many more treasures than warriors, they are not enough to make the sect go against other big sects for them. Unless they are the big alchemy families in Jin State, they are willing to join our Taihe Sect. The sect's top leaders might be willing to do so for the sake of the top-notch elixirs in their hands. For others, it’s difficult.” After lunch, Elder Wang Shanlin took Su Chen to Taihe Sect's alchemy workshop. Along the way, Elder Wang Shanlin continued to tell Su Chen about the situation in the alchemy workshop. The Taihe Sect's alchemy workshop is a less important branch in the sect. The three alchemy workshops can only produce very basic pills. For Taihe Sect, it still has some meaning. The disciples in the sect and many battle groups also have the need to exchange for these pills. But the sect's upper echelons, such as those extremely talented disciples, and warriors like the mountain forest elders. Basically, they would not take the pills made by the three alchemy workshops of Taihe Sect. First of all, refining pills is very basic. The second is that the quality of the pills is also very average. Elder Wang Shanlin and his ilk certainly look down upon this kind of elixir. “Taihe Sect has its own medicine refining workshop, but the sect is still purchasing pills of slightly better quality. The vast majority were purchased from Zhu Ming Palace. If you can recruit the alchemists from Zhu Ming Palace, I believe that the Sect Master will definitely risk his life for you and others." At this point, Wang Shanlin couldn't help laughing, and Su Chen also smiled. To some extent, Zhu Ming Palace's status even surpasses that of Taihe Sect. How could he be recruited by Taihe Sect? Now that it's winter, things are a lot more relaxed. Elder Wang Shanlin also had more free time, so he took Su Chen with him. This is considered as a thank you for Su Chen's assistance this year, which has provided a lot of help to the First Regiment. The sect may not care about Su Chen's ability to deal with monsters, as long as he is stable. But each battle group still needs people like Su Chen. The alchemy workshop is located in the northern part of the Taihe Sect’s territory, some distance away from the Hongfeng Canyon.
But it is only a few dozen miles away, which is very close for those who practice cultivation. Elder Wang Shanlin took Su Chen to the Bingzi Alchemy Workshop. The reasons for coming here are, firstly, that the requirements of Bingzi Alchemy Workshop are low, and secondly, Elder Shanlin knows some people here. In the yard next to the Bingzi Alchemy Shop, a middle-aged man frowned. "You bastard, you can have a drink with me, but nothing else. If I had known what you were here for, I would not have taken out this fine wine of mine. We have a medicine making workshop here, but you are pushing some inexplicable juniors to me. Isn't this looking down on us too much?" Seeing that his friend was a little angry, Wang Shanlin hurriedly explained. "Just give it a try, just to test it out. I don't ask you to accept it." "What a test, look at his hands, do they look like those of someone who makes pills? Stay for a drink, talk about other things, and leave." (End of this chapter)
