Chapter 129: Proselytize
Mi Xiaojing fell to the ground and didn\'t say anything. He just quietly looked at Mo Yuer. He wasn\'t pretending, but he didn\'t know what to say.
Mo Yuer felt very honored when Mi Xiaojing fell down. She was always generous with people who gave her face. She smiled and greeted him, "Junior brother, where are you going?"
In the sect, seniority is generally based on cultivation level, but there are exceptions. Mo Yuer was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment and, most importantly, she was the daughter of Sect Leader Mo Chentian. Plus, she reached Foundation Establishment earlier than Mi Xiaojing, so she dared to call him junior brother.
Mi Xiaojing didn\'t know where to go. He was a gentle person. If someone spoke to him with a smile, he wouldn\'t respond with harsh words. He said, "I have something to do outside."
Mo Yuer said, "Come, let me introduce you to some talented disciples of the sect."
Mi Xiaojing didn\'t want to get to know any talented disciples of the sect at all. He just wanted to know the recent situation of the sect.
He greeted them with a cupped fist and said, "Hello, everyone."
There were seven or eight people in the group. Seeing that Mi Xiaojing didn\'t have a cold attitude, they became happy and greeted him respectfully, "Hello, junior uncle..."
.
These people seemed older than Mi Xiaojing, but Mi Xiaojing was at the Foundation Establishment stage while they were only at the Qi Refining stage. Even if they were much older, they still had to respectfully call him junior uncle.
Challenging one\'s superiors is not allowed in the sect. Of course, if you really challenge your superiors, you will be beaten or even killed, and you will have to bear the consequences yourself.
However, if you can resist, like Mi Xiaojing killing Hong Qing, it is acceptable. The cultivation level determines the hierarchy, which means that strength is the most important.
At Mo Yuer\'s invitation, Mi Xiaojing came to a garden. The courtyard was full of blooming flowers. There was also a pond and a large wooden platform extending into the pond. There was also a Gathering Spirit Array here.
The entire garden was filled with abundant spiritual qi. Various flowers and plants were nourished by the spiritual qi, vibrant and beautiful. It was carefully arranged and cleaned.
Mi Xiaojing had a good impression of exceptionally clean places. He was a clean person himself, even if he was poor and suffering in the Western Expansion Sect, he liked to be clean. Even his clothes, patched up with patches, were exceptionally clean.
There were several luxurious round tables on the wooden platform. The so-called luxury meant that they were inlaid with exquisite mother-of-pearl and gold thread, shining under the sunlight. There were white porcelain plates on the table, filled with various fruits, including spiritual fruits.
Seven or eight exquisitely crafted round stools were scattered on the platform. Waiters arranged the tables and stools neatly. Mo Yuer then invited everyone to sit down with a smile.
Mi Xiaojing was arranged to sit in the main seat, but he had no idea about it. He was just a child from the countryside and didn\'t understand these things.
Mo Yuer was very proud. Most of the people who came to her were Qi Refining disciples. There were very few cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage who would come to flatter her. In the sect, the cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage were the most valued, and various resources were inclined towards them. They were often busy with their own affairs and didn\'t have much time to socialize outside.
Because he was unfamiliar, Mi Xiaojing had been silent all along, just listening attentively.
Someone complained, "Junior uncle, when will the sect\'s alert be lifted? We have to go through three checkpoints to get here... It\'s so troublesome."
Mo Yuer said, "It\'s impossible to lift the alert. It\'s just a bit inconvenient. If you find it troublesome, you can live in the manor. It\'s big enough here, and we don\'t lack food. Hehe."
"I don\'t know when the grand array will be closed... I don\'t even know why it was opened..."
This guy didn\'t know anything at all. He didn\'t even know who the attackers were. The sect wouldn\'t tell low-level cultivators and mortals about external affairs. These people had no other use except for panicking.
"Fool, the grand array was opened because there are enemies attacking. Can\'t you even think of that?"
"What enemies?"
"How would I know? Only junior uncle knows about these things!"
Mo Yuer didn\'t say much. She just said lightly, "The sect\'s affairs are decided by the elders. You don\'t need to worry about them."
"Yes, yes, junior uncle is right. These things are not something we can worry about."
Someone asked Mi Xiaojing, "Junior uncle, don\'t you need to go to the Sword Formation to guard?"
Mo Yuer knew about this matter, just like she didn\'t need to go. Mi Xiaojing had certain privileges.
"I don\'t need to go. I am an alchemist, and my task is to refine pills."
Mi Xiaojing explained and then fell silent. But even this sentence made a group of low-level disciples amazed. At such a young age, he was already at the Foundation Establishment stage, and not only that, he was also an alchemist. This was too terrifying.
Mo Yuer\'s goal was clear: to get to know this legendary alchemist, establish a good relationship, and take advantage of Mi Xiaojing\'s potential. He had received unanimous praise from four Elemental Infant stage high-level cultivators. Such a person naturally had to be won over.
First, get familiar, then slowly establish contact, and eventually form some kind of mutually beneficial relationship. Mo Yuer\'s plan was in full swing. She also had her own resources, and she believed that her status and position were enough to interact with Mi Xiaojing. She didn\'t look down on Mi Xiaojing, even when he had just arrived, he almost became her servant.
In this world where strength spoke, once you had strength and ability, you naturally had status and position. Mo Yuer understood this better than Mi Xiaojing.Mi Xiaojing appeared very silent, only responding briefly when asked. He spent more time listening, hearing their discussions, and extracting the information he needed.
After sitting for a while and listening to their endless chatter, Mi Xiaojing quickly realized that their conversation held no interest for him. He stood up and said, "I have some matters to attend to. Senior Sister, I will take my leave now."
Mo Yuer did not try to keep him, instead she said, "Junior Brother, feel free to go and attend to your matters. Do drop by when you have time."
Mi Xiaojing nodded. This place could serve as a good source of information.
Once Mi Xiaojing left, the group began to discuss him.
"Senior Uncle, is he really that impressive Pill Master from Grass-Benevolence Hall?"
"Ah, he looks so young. Is he really the captive from the Evolutionary Sect we caught last time? How is he so powerful, advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage in such a short time? It\'s unbelievable!"
"I didn\'t dare to say it earlier, but I actually saw him at the beginning. He was with a child... Initially, Senior Uncle wanted him, but when Uncle Guan arrived, he was taken away by Grass-Benevolence Hall."
There was a sudden gasp of surprise. The others didn\'t know that Mi Xiaojing was originally from the Evolutionary Sect and was even a captive. Their faces showed surprise. This man was simply too powerful, soaring from Evolutionary Immortality to Cultivation, surpassing all of them who had been cultivating since childhood.
One of the cultivators quietly left, running all the way to the outskirts of the manor. Only then did he release a paper owl, sending out the message: Mi Xiaojing has left!
