Mysterious mirror hanging high

Wan Lingjun thought about this and felt worried, his brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" (river character).

"Alas, an old cultivator who died at the early stage of foundation building is not worth Brother Yuwen's efforts to recruit him as a friend."

"If I hadn't heard that this person was an alchemist in the Qi training stage... Oh no! If a foundation-building alchemist wants to delve into the art of alchemy, he still needs a deep foundation of cultivation in the later stages. No matter how high his alchemy talent is, he is limited by his cultivation and can only refine those simple foundation-building pills."

"If it weren't for that brat Yuwen Xiaoyan being so arrogant and gradually chipping away at Brother Yuwen's legacy, Brother Yuwen wouldn't have to be so eager to recruit talented people..."

"Damn it! How dare Yuwen Xiaoyan, a mere illegitimate son, compete with a legitimate eldest son like Brother Yuwen for the family fortune?"

"Now that the brat has recently broken through to the late stage of foundation building, his arrogance has become even more arrogant!"

Wan Lingjun thought of the illegitimate enemy of the Yuwen family who was targeting his beloved everywhere, and he was so angry that his teeth were itching, and his face showed a look of gritting his teeth.

"Uh..." Jing Yu was speechless, but her expression remained as gentle as a spring breeze. She asked kindly, "Fairy Lingjun, what's this? Is this spiritual tea not to your taste? After all, it's tea from a small place, not as good as the famous tea in the fairy city. I hope you can bear with me."

"Cough." Yuwen Xiaojin coughed awkwardly, bringing Wan Lingjun back to reality, and his complexion returned to normal.

The eldest son of the Yuwen family spoke earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Jing is determined to pursue the path of the Golden Core. Xiao Jin deeply admires you. However, the path of forming a Golden Core is extremely dangerous, and it consumes a considerable amount of spiritual materials and food. Without the support of a powerful force, I'm afraid you won't be able to make any progress."

"Now, our Immortal Alliance is thriving, with more than ten Immortals sitting on our side, and three great Immortals, Baoding, Yuehua, and Tota, in charge. We are the leading force in the Yunchuan Region... and our Yuwen family is the most aristocratic family in Xiaoyao Immortal City, and we are eager to recruit talented people."

"If Daoist Xuan Jing needs anything in the future, you can come to the Yuwen family to find me. Xiao Jin will certainly open the bed to welcome you."

"Thanks for your kindness, Daoist Yuwen. I will consider it." Jing Yu did not rush to answer, but responded ambiguously.

Yuwen Xiaojin did not mention the matter again. He just mentioned it briefly during this hasty visit and did not regard it as a formal invitation. Afterwards, the three of them just talked about profound mysteries and talked about the difficulties in cultivation during the foundation-building period, or the interesting stories in the fairy city on weekdays.

Needless to say, Yuwen Xiaojin had been sent out to govern the market for decades and had rich experience; and Jing Yu was born into a secular royal family, and then traveled around the world with his biological mother Li Anruo, so he had a wide range of knowledge and had experienced many interesting things, which frightened Wan Lingjun, a home-based cultivator who had been taken to Yuehua Zhenren to practice at the age of more than ten and never left the house.

The few of them were talking so enthusiastically that the sun had already set before they realized it. Wan Lingjun still felt a little unsatisfied and thought to himself:

"Alas, although this old Taoist Xuan Jing's aptitude is inferior and his potential has been exhausted, his personality is indeed good. He is humorous, easygoing, lively and cheerful. He is a first-class friend. He doesn't have the old-fashioned air of those cultivators who are stuck in their late years and trying to break through..."

Yuwen Xiaojin looked at the sky, stood up and said, "It's getting late, Fairy Lingjun and I won't disturb you anymore. I wonder when Fellow Daoist Xuanjing will hold his foundation-building celebration?"

"I'm a quiet person by nature, and I don't want to hold such celebrations. But after all, I've just arrived, so I have to get to know my fellow Taoists in the Immortal City..."

Jing Yu pondered and said, "Let's set it for seven days from now. At that time, Zhao will send someone to deliver an invitation to Fellow Daoist Yuwen and Fairy Lingjun's residence, and also invite them to have a meal and drinks."

"Xiao Jin will definitely not be absent then." Yuwen Xiao Jin said seriously.

Jing Yu turned to look at Wan Lingjun and said with a pleasant expression, "Fairy Lingjun, I did meet Fairy Yueqiu at the Wushan Fairy Fair that day. I wonder how your senior sister is doing now?"

Wan Lingjun looked a little uneasy and said, "Elder Sister is still in seclusion, honing her cultivation and making final preparations for Dan-forming..."

"That's a shame." Jing Yu bowed and said, "Have a nice trip, both of you. I've just settled down and things are still undecided, so I won't see you off."

Yuwen Xiaojin and Wan Ling both nodded. This time they did not turn into a beam of light and escape directly. Instead, they pushed the door open and walked out obediently, slowly leaving the courtyard.

Jing Yu remained seated, holding a half-cold cup of spiritual tea in his hand. The mysterious mirror in his dantian trembled slightly, and the detection function was fully activated...

"It's inevitable that the divine sense will be discovered when it sweeps over a cultivator. The Xuanjing's detection spell is of a very high level. Not to mention a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even a Golden Core True Man or an Yuanying True Lord can't detect it at all. It's a good way to spy on the secrets around..." Jing Yu took a sip of tea and carefully observed the two people who were still within the detection range.

"Sister Lingjun, what do you think of this Taoist Xuanjing?" Yu Wenxiaojin walked slowly in the wide and quiet street with his hands behind his back. Although soundproofing spells had been set up around him, they could not prevent Jing Yu's detection.

"He seems like a good guy with a nice personality, but unfortunately his potential has been exhausted. He probably has no future in Taoism!" Wan Lingjun frowned and said, "Even if he is truly an alchemist, it's not worth it for Brother Yuwen to go to such lengths to recruit him."

Jing Yu, who was secretly watching, was speechless. If he remembered correctly, Yuwen Xiaojin should be 130 or even 140 years old now, while Wan Lingjun was only 41. The age difference between the two was almost a century, yet they were calling each other brother and sister...

"I heard of this person when I was in charge of Wushan Market. He has a good reputation among cultivators and his talent in alchemy is also outstanding... The Yunchuan Region has been peaceful for a long time now. Even if there are many frictions between sects, families, and alliances, they all act within the rules..."

"Therefore, cultivation is secondary; character and reputation are more important."

"But Big Brother, you have such a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp under your command. How can you deal with Yu Wen Xiaoyan?"

Wan Lingjun gritted his teeth and said, "That brat, relying on his cultivation, temporarily overpowered Big Brother, but now he's jumping around like crazy..."

Yuwen Xiaojin remained silent.

"Alas, it's a pity that Senior Sister has gone into seclusion. Core Formation is not like Foundation Establishment, and the initial preparation time is quite a bit... But if Senior Sister can be promoted to Golden Core True Person, then Brother Yuwen will surely be able to smoothly take over the position of the next Patriarch of the Yuwen Family!"

Yuwen Xiaojin said quietly, "Sister Lingjun, you know that Yueqiu...she actually belongs to me too."

Wan Lingjun's heart trembled, a bitter look appeared on his face, and he said hurriedly: "Brother, I don't want to destroy the marriage between you and Senior Sister, but, but... Lingjun has no other request, I just want to follow behind you quietly, to be able to look at you like this, to talk to you every day, then, then..."

Jing Yu almost dropped the teacup in his hand.

What female licks the dog?

Yuwen Xiaojin sighed, "Lingjun, you... you don't have to be like this. What merits have I earned to be favored by a female cultivator as talented as you? There are many talented young men within the Immortal Alliance whose qualifications, character, and backgrounds far surpass mine. Why are you so repulsive?"

Wan Lingjun blushed and whispered:

"Those are all very good, but I just don't like them."
