Chapter 263 - Chapter 263: Chapter 247: Elder Wang’s Invitation (2/2)
It was also from them that Lin Jing learned about it.
Indeed, someone was controlling the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.
It wasn’t exactly a person, but rather a demon cultivator.
Moreover, this demon cultivator had some connection with the wolf-headed demon cultivator, who was previously surrounded and killed by the Golden Core cultivators at the Fang Market.
It was he who launched this attack involving the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants.
However, this demon cultivator was extremely cunning. After launching the attack, he fled.
He has yet to be found.
……
As the group chatted, several hours passed.
It was almost evening when a disciple from the Qingyuan Sword Sect arrived, saying that Elder Wang was looking for Lin Jing.
That was when their conversation ended.
Subsequently.
Lin Jing followed the Qingyuan Sword Sect disciple and left together.
On their way, the disciple led Lin Jing to a small courtyard.
Upon reaching the entrance of the courtyard, the disciple stopped and, bowing respectfully, said facing the courtyard:
“Elder Wang, I have brought him here.”
As soon as the disciple finished speaking, a familiar voice came from inside.
“Bring him in!”
That voice belonged to Elder Wang.
Subsequently.
He led Lin Jing inside.
Once inside the room, Lin Jing realized that Elder Master Li was also there.
“Real Man Li, Elder Wang…”
Lin Jing bowed to the two men.
“No need for excessive formalities,” said Elder Wang to Lin Jing.
At that moment.
The Qingyuan Sword Sect disciple also bowed respectfully to Elder Wang:
“Elder Wang, as I have brought the person, I will take my leave now.”
“Hmm, you may go,” Elder Wang nodded and responded.
Afterward.
The disciple then took his leave.
After the disciple had left, Elder Wang looked at Lin Jing with interest and then spoke:
“Your name is Lin Jing, right?”
Lin Jing was startled, then nodded:
“Yes, Elder Wang.”
Elder Wang nodded after hearing this:
“It was only recently that I heard you are actually a disciple of our Qingyuan Sword Sect, isn’t that right?”
Lin Jing hastily bowed and said to Elder Wang:
“Replying to Elder Wang, I was indeed a Spirit Farmer of the Qingyuan Sword Sect previously, but due to my negligence in taking care of the Spirit Field, I was long ago expelled from the sect.”
After Lin Jing finished speaking, Elder Wang snorted coldly.
“Humph!”
“Those fools, truly good-for-nothings…”
“Having you serve as a Spirit Farmer, completely burying your talent in alchemy.”
After speaking, Elder Wang glanced at Elder Master Li sitting beside him, then turned back to Lin Jing and said:
“I have heard from Elder Li that in less than four years, you went from a novice in alchemy who knew nothing, to not only advancing to a Second-Grade Alchemist but also becoming an Alchemist Offering Priest at the Yuebaolou.”
“The Offering Priest of Yuebaolou, I am well aware: it’s not a position just anyone can hold…”
As he said this, Elder Wang appeared quite infuriated:
“That bunch of blockheads, driving such a promising alchemy talent down the mountain, what good can they possibly achieve?”
As Elder Wang’s words ended, Lin Jing hastily replied:
“Elder Wang, the mishap was indeed due to my oversight, and no one else is to blame. Being driven down the mountain is solely my fault…”
However, before Lin Jing could finish, Elder Wang raised his hand, cutting off Lin Jing’s words.
“Let’s leave that in the past.”
“Now, I would like to invite you to rejoin the Qingyuan Sword Sect and enter my Jade Pill Peak to become my direct disciple. Are you interested?”
“Once you become my direct disciple, rest assured, let alone at Jade Pill Peak, even within the entire Qingyuan Sword Sect, no one will dare to bully you!”
