Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 107 The Candidate is Finalized

After receiving Han Jing's signal, Chen Mu was delighted and immediately gave a brief account of what he wanted to do on this trip.

"Brother Qi Jing might be able to take on the role of Market Manager..." Han Jing nodded repeatedly after hearing this. After pondering for a moment with his hand on his chin, he said leisurely, "Do you have any other requests?"

Chen Mu replied: "It all depends on Senior Sister's recommendation. I have no objection."

"Oh?" Han Jing smiled and asked softly, "You're just giving me this great opportunity to show favor and win people's hearts?"

Chen Mu pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "Let's not talk about the fact that I don't have any acquaintances who meet the requirements. Speaking from the heart, Senior Sister has helped me a lot. What does this little thing matter?"

Ever since he entered Tianhu Peak, Han Jing had been helping him everywhere, from leading him up the mountain to speaking up for him, to helping him complete his missions, and giving him the elixir he had won to aid his cultivation...

All the details accumulated and were remembered in his mind.

He was not stupid, so he could naturally sense that Han Jing must have developed some feelings for him, otherwise why would she help an outsider so unreservedly?

However, he was now completely absorbed in the joy of cultivation and couldn't spare the time to deal with it. He had no experience in love, so he could only try to repay Han Jing's help in other matters...

Han Jing snorted softly upon hearing this, then smiled and said slowly, "If you have no objection, then I think Senior Brother Qi Jing from our peak is the most suitable."

"Senior Brother Qi Jing?"

"That's right, Senior Brother Qi Jing has been a disciple for over forty years. Unfortunately, his aptitude is poor, and his progress is slow. He has only reached the eighth level of Qi Condensation."

"In recent years, he has been serving as a deacon at our Tianhu Peak. He is also the senior brother who gave the sermons for this Immortal Seedling event. Of course, it's just some basic common sense in the world of immortal cultivation..."

Han Jing spoke vividly about Qi Jing and described his appearance to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu's heart moved. Listening to Han Jing's words, he couldn't help but recall the old Taoist sitting cross-legged on the high platform when he passed by the outer sect's Dharma Hall a few years ago and went to inquire about Zou Yongyi and the others' qualifications.

"is it him……"

He murmured.

Seeing him like this, Han Jing asked curiously, "Do you know Senior Brother Qi Jing?"

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "No... But according to what you said, this senior brother is living a relatively comfortable life at Tianhu Peak, even though the path is difficult. Would he agree to go to the busy market?"

Han Jing replied slowly, "Junior brother, you may not know this, but when I first entered the mountain gate, I received a lot of help from Senior Brother Qi Jing. Because of this, I have a relatively good relationship with him."

"Some time ago, he came to me and said that there was a child from his clan among this generation of immortal seedlings, so he wanted to borrow some spirit stones from me to help this young man so that he could be more open-minded in the early stages of his cultivation..."

"Now that he has this bond, even if we let him live a peaceful life like before, I'm afraid he would be the first one to refuse."

Chen Mu nodded in understanding after hearing this and said, "In that case, it should be feasible."

Han Jing also nodded and said, "Since Junior Brother agrees, let's go find him now."

Chen Mu had no objection and agreed immediately.

So the two of them shared the remaining spiritual tea, stood up, walked out of the pavilion and walked out of the valley side by side.

They did not stop along the way and soon arrived at Qi Jing's residence. However, after they cast spells and called out for a while, they found that no one responded. After asking someone, they found out where he was.

However, today is the day of the outer sect competition, so Qi Jing went down the mountain early in the morning and went to the outer sect to help Taoist Zhang organize it.

Chen Mu and the other man smiled at each other, then turned around and walked down the mountain again.

After about two quarters of an hour, they stopped in front of the outer gate of the Dharma Hall and looked up at the situation inside.

Dozens of outer disciples were already lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for Taoist Zhang on the stage to read out the rankings and distribute rewards.

There were several deacon disciples beside Zhang Laodao. Han Jing turned her head slightly and signaled Chen Mu to look at one of the male cultivators with gray hair and a long beard.

"He is Qi Jing." Chen Mu nodded. It was indeed the same person he had seen before.

While the two were whispering to each other, Taoist Zhang on the stage of the main hall raised one eyebrow, smiled slightly and looked outside the hall, obviously noticing Chen Mu and the others.

He immediately turned to look at the many outer disciples below and said loudly, "Alright! This competition ends here. Those who have won awards must not become complacent or lazy. Those who have not received awards must practice even harder so that they can be among the top ten next time... Disband!"

The outer disciples who received the order all bowed and retreated out of the hall in groups of three or five.

"Senior Brother Chen!"

A gray-shirted disciple with a slightly cross-eyed look suddenly saw Chen Mu standing in front of the door when he was leaving the hall, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Mu looked in the direction of the voice and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Zou..."

"Boy outside the door, why don't you come in!" A loud shout came from the hall, interrupting Chen Mu's words.

Chen Mu pursed his lips slightly when he heard that, and could only nod at Zou Yongyi, then walked in with Han Jing who was already laughing.

"Uncle Zhang."

Chen Mu and the other man bowed together to Taoist Zhang on the stage.

Zhang Laodao's face showed a hint of satisfaction. After a slight hum, he looked at Chen Mu and asked, "What do you want from me, kid?"

Chen Mu replied, "To be honest, Uncle Master, I came here to look for... Senior Brother Qi Jing."

"Uh-huh?"

Zhang Laodao nodded at first, then realized something was wrong, his eyes widened slightly, and he looked a little surprised.

He was not the only one who was surprised. Qi Jing, who was standing respectfully behind him, was also stunned for a moment. After a moment, he asked in confusion: "Chen... Junior Brother, are you looking for me?"

Chen Mu and Han Jing nodded together.

"Ahem..." Zhang Laodao pretended to cough lightly and said, "It's good that you're not looking for me...you guys can chat on your own."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and quickly walked out of the hall.

"Congratulations, Uncle Master!"

Everyone bowed and shouted in unison.

After a while, only Chen Mu and the other two were left in the hall. Without waiting for Qi Jing to ask, Han Jing took two steps closer and began to explain...

After a few words, Han Jing raised her chin and guided Chen Mu in his direction, then said to Qi Jing, "This was originally Junior Brother Chen's right, but he had no other choice, so he came to me. I recommended you just for the sake of convenience... So if you want to thank someone, thank Junior Brother Chen!"

Qi Jing's chest was heaving, his face flushed, and he looked extremely excited. He quickly bowed to Chen Mu and said, "Junior Brother Chen, I will never forget your kindness. If you need me in the future, please feel free to ask. No matter what it is, I will do my best..."

Others may look down on a mere position of being in charge, but he is different. He has low qualifications and lacks resources. He has been able to reach his current level entirely due to the advantage of time.

Now the younger generation of his clan has also embarked on the path of immortality, but their aptitude is not that good. Without deep resources, they will probably have to endure hardship for half their lives, and their realm will not be as good as some new disciples.

That's why he wanted to accumulate some resources for the younger generations of the clan, so that they wouldn't have to suffer the same hardships as he did...

Chen Mu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Qi, you are too polite. I only agreed because Senior Sister Han believes in you... I hope you will do your best in the future and never delay the interests of the sect."

"That's nature, that's nature!"

Qi Jing's beard trembled constantly, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement...
