The Immortal Way is Fierce

Chapter 58 Good people don’t live long

After two hours of simple getting along with each other, plus An Pengju, an inexperienced scapegoat, the big dog is here.

Zhang Jingyuan quickly figured out the identities of these people and the purpose of their trip.

Not surprisingly, those few people, like An Pengju, are the descendants of the heads of various yamen in Yunhuaxing.

The most dancing monk in black is named Duan Bai.

His family background is naturally the most powerful. His father and his ancestors are all foundation-building monks. His father is the lord of Yongjia City. His ancestor is even more powerful. He is the master of Yunhua Star and a late-stage foundation-building monk. Yunhua Star ranks fourth. Big shot.

After hearing this, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly became concerned, and his expression when he looked at Duan Bai became more and more filled with a bright smile.

The highest-ranking person in the family is a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk, and he is even just the chief secretary of Yunhua Star. To dare to speak nonsense and sarcastically in front of him like this is really a desperate act.

However, the smile on Zhang Jingyuan's face made Duan Bai mistakenly think that Zhang Jingyuan was afraid after knowing his identity, so he deliberately wanted to please him. As a result, his eyes towards Zhang Jingyuan became more and more contemptuous and sarcastic.

As for the purpose of An Pengju and his group's trip, they were looking for the cave of a golden elixir monk, or to be more precise, the remains.

After all, if this Golden Elixir monk had lived to this day, he would have been over 600 years old, far exceeding the limit of 500 years in the Golden Elixir stage.

Since the age has passed, and no one has seen this golden elixir monk again, let alone heard of this golden elixir monk achieving Nascent Soul, what is it if he is not dead?
According to their understanding, this golden elixir monk came to Yunhua Star from Yunhai Star two hundred years ago, and all signs indicate that the last place where this golden elixir monk appeared should be in Canglang Demon Mountain, which is what they drew on the map. place.

Of course, this is just a superficial reason. After all, they are the only ones who have come here to look for the remains of the golden elixir monk. In the past thirty to fifty years, at least ten waves of people have come here to look for it, including many from Yun Haixing. People, as well as foundation-building monks.

All these people returned in vain and only narrowed the location to the place drawn on their map. How could they find it?
So when they came this time, they just found a reason to get close to An Pengju.

Ever since An Pengju received a third-class evaluation at the Spiritual Root Test Conference, his value in the eyes of everyone, to put it mildly, is not even comparable to that of his father An Qingxian.

After all, An Qingxian is just a golden elixir hopeful. Only the devil knows whether he can actually become a golden elixir monk.

And An Pengju, relying on his family background and talent, is already a solid Golden Elixir monk. It is not impossible to become a Nascent Soul in the future. How could they not make a bet in advance.

This is also an important reason why Duan Bai has been sarcastic towards Zhang Jingyuan and even wanted to kill him.

They had already realized that An Pengju was kind to Zhang Jingyuan, a remnant of the mountains, but was too close to him. This would undoubtedly take away An Pengju's friendship with them and make all their hard work in vain.

Others, as for Zhang Jingyuan's attempt to steal An Pengju's spiritual stone and the identity of the mountain survivors, are actually nothing and are definitely not the main conflict.

As Yunhuaxing's top officials, they are not so superficial. They know better that the identity of enemies and friends changes sometimes only on a thin line, and the only thing that remains unchanged is interests.

Now, if someone with a better talent than An Pengju appears, they can immediately turn their mouths and kneel down to lick that person.

For the sake of profit, this is not a joke.

After walking for more than a hundred miles, before An Pengju said anything, Duan Bai and others started making noises about taking a break and eating.

After hearing this, An Pengju could only follow the crowd and agreed.

As for Zhang Jingyuan, it doesn't matter. After all, he gets paid based on the number of days, and the opportunity he wants is there. It has been there for hundreds of years, and he can't escape even if he misses it by a few days.

After all, he already has the key.

Following An Pengju and others, they arrived at a seemingly clean flat land.

There is a lake around it, with rippling reeds in it, rising and falling with the breeze, like a sea of ​​reeds. It is so beautiful that it even makes people want to recite a poem.

But Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but frown.

An Pengju noticed Zhang Jingyuan's expression and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jingyuan, is there anything wrong with cooking in the stove here?"

"If I read correctly, this should be a gathering place for gall birds. Although they are not here now, the possibility of coming back is not small, so I suggest that we stop cooking here and find another place."

After thinking about it, Zhang Jingyuan said directly.

He even ran to the side of the reeds and dug a few times, and pulled out four or five broken eggshells the size of watermelons.

"Why do I feel that you are trying to be mysterious and take the opportunity to show off?"

However, Duan Bai, who was already carrying stones and cutting wood roots, heard the conversation between Zhang Jingyuan and Zhang Jingyuan, and immediately came over and said disdainfully.

"Showing off? What should I show off to?"

Zhang Jingyuan glanced at him and said coldly.

"Show off that you are more familiar with Canglang Demon Mountain than we are, so that Peng Ju will feel that it is worth finding you as a guide. The price of two spiritual stones a day is not in vain!"

"Seriously, not to mention that those iron-galled birds have been away from here for who knows how long. Even if these iron-galled birds suddenly come back, so what? A group of adult garbage monsters who are only in the middle stage of Qi refining, even if they are here, , it’s just to give us extra meals.”

"Pengju, don't worry, we will take care of everything."

Duan Bai patted his chest hard, said proudly, and then looked at Zhang Jingyuan provocatively.

Seeing that An Pengju was still hesitant, and even looked at Zhang Jingyuan from time to time, the jealousy in Duan Bai's eyes became more intense, and he also felt a trace of resentment towards An Pengju. He tried his best to please, serving An Pengju front and back, but in the end, An Pengju cared more about an outsider he had known for a few hours. How could he feel it was fair?

When his plan failed, he devised another one.

"Speaking of Pengju, we have been walking for most of the day. If we don't rest, we will really not be able to hold on. If you don't believe it, look at my feet. They are almost worn out."

With that said, Duan Bai was about to take off his shoes to show An Pengju.

"I believe, I believe..."

While stopping Duan Bai, An Pengju looked at Zhang Jingyuan as if praying.

Deep down, he was willing to believe Zhang Jingyuan.

Furthermore, if it’s not just changing places and walking a few more miles, what’s the point?
But he has already understood the current situation. Now it is not just a matter of changing places or not. Zhang Jingyuan and Duan Bai are already fighting together. If you say left, I will say right, but I am going against you. The problem.

And no matter which side he stands on or what choice he makes, he will annoy the other side.

As the son of Mr. An Qing, although he was reluctant to understand this, it was difficult for him to figure it out under the influence of his ears and eyes.

"It's okay. If he wants to stay here, just stay here."

Zhang Jingyuan shrugged indifferently, then turned and left.

Seeing this, An Pengju hurriedly chased after him, leaving Duan Bai behind gnashing his teeth. He had already decided that when this experience was over, even if Zhang Jingyuan was a survivor of the mountains, he would definitely find Zhang Jingyuan and kill him.

He knew very well that although it seemed that he had won this match, An Pengju actually preferred Zhang Jingyuan. If Zhang Jingyuan hadn't suddenly given in just now, it might not have been clear who would win and who would lose.

He would never allow anyone to challenge his status as An Pengju's closest confidant.

"Brother Jingyuan, I'm really sorry..."

An Pengju caught up and was about to explain, but was stopped by Zhang Jingyuan.

"It doesn't matter. I'm sorry. I'm just a guide. It's enough to make my suggestions based on my experience. Whether you adopt them or not is your problem."

Zhang Jingyuan's lips curled up slightly and he said nonchalantly.

"Brother Jingyuan, just don't be angry. I'll talk to Duan Bai later and ask him to apologize to you."

An Pengju said seriously.

"This is unnecessary. I'm afraid that this young master will make me angry to death. It's best if we don't talk to each other."

Although he felt something was wrong, since Zhang Jingyuan said this and seemed to be really lifeless, An Pengju could only swallow everything he wanted to say.

After a few more brief chats, and after confirming that Zhang Jingyuan was not angry, but in an exceptionally good mood, An Pengju left and returned to the open space to meditate and rest.

Among these people, his cultivation level is the lowest, and he is naturally the most tired from the journey, so he must recover his spiritual power as soon as he takes a rest.

"To be honest, I think this Young Master An is not suitable for being in the world of cultivation. He is really a nice person. How can he be considerate of everything and make everyone harmonious? Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes."

Looking at An Pengju's back, Zhang Jingyuan sighed with emotion.

To be honest, after living in the world of cultivation for so long, Zhang Jingyuan discovered that although good people do not live long, it cannot be said to be completely absolute.

But a good person who is not very smart, is a bit silly, doesn't understand the world, and thinks that the world should be free of fights and everyone lives in harmony, will definitely not live long.

Even An Pengju himself is a good example.

Because in his previous life, An Pengju was one of the few third-class top-ranking people in the entire Yunhai Galaxy, but he had never heard of An Pengju's name. This was obviously abnormal.

There are probably only two reasons. First, An Pengju has not cultivated anything, not even a foundation-building monk, so naturally he has never heard of it.

2. That means An Pengju died early.

Zhang Jingyuan felt that it was the latter, or that he simply died in the explosion of Yunhua Star. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why he had not heard of An Pengju's name later.

But the problem is, An Qing is alive first, how could he not save his son?

As Yunhuaxing's highest combat power, it wouldn't be difficult to rescue his son smoothly, right?

He suddenly felt that there seemed to be some conspiracy and conspiracy, and it was full of strange atmosphere.

Putting back his messy thoughts, Zhang Jingyuan just looked up and saw Duan Bai and others, pointing and smiling at him.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingyuan also smiled immediately.

"I hope you can still laugh later."
