The Path to Immortality

Fang Ping was shocked and said thankfully: "You have such sinister intentions? Fortunately, I didn't agree on the spot, otherwise I would have regretted it too late..."

Zhou Lingyu observed his expression and saw if he was faking it, then he nodded secretly: "I came here because I was worried that fellow Taoist Fang might not be aware of it and be deceived by others. Fortunately, it's not too late."

Fang Ping said gratefully: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhou, for reminding me."

But then he changed the subject.

He said with reluctance: "Hey, after all, the Jiang family is one of the top family forces in the Luoyang Sect, with a profound foundation. And Jiang Yuehan, I heard, is even more beautiful and fragrant, and is expected to build a foundation. At the current confrontation between good and evil, if It would be a good choice to accept this woman as a Taoist companion and gain protection from the family... It would be great if there were no factional disputes."

He sighed a few times, but secretly watched the reactions of Zhou Lingyu and Yang Feng.

He had put on such a good show with the other party. If the two people or the forces behind him didn't show anything, then Fang Ping would really have to abandon the dark side and consider agreeing to the marriage between the family faction.

Seeing Fang Ping acting like this, Yang Feng and Zhou Lingyu knew it was time to make an offer.

Yang Feng, who had been silent before, suddenly spoke up and said: "Fellow Daoist Fang, a few years ago, when I came to ask for elixirs with Daoist Zhou, I asked you when Daoist Fang would be able to refine the first-level middle-grade elixir. I don't know if Fellow Daoist Fang is still here." Impressed?"

Fang Ping nodded.

The memory of the foundation-building monk is naturally not bad, not to mention that it has only been a few years.

Seeing this, Yang Feng chuckled and said, "Hasn't Fellow Daoist Fang ever been curious about why Yang asked this question?"

Fang Ping said calmly: "It sounds like there's something in Yang Daoyou's words... Could it be that he's here on behalf of someone?"

In his mind, he had several guess targets a long time ago.

For example, Elder Cui of the Law Enforcement Hall who was invited by Taoist Yun Yi during the foundation ceremony was one of them.

Seeing that Fang Ping seemed to have speculated for a long time, Yang Feng sighed and said: "I knew that this matter might not be hidden from fellow Taoist Fang, so I just told the truth."

He put down the teacup in his hand and said sternly to Fang Ping: "Yang came here under the entrustment of Wei Youlin, the deputy master of Zhengyang Palace. Deputy master Wei is a monk in the late stage of foundation building and a powerful elder in the sect. One. And this deputy palace master also has a big backer, do you know who he is? "

Deputy Palace Master Wei of Zhengyang Palace?

Fang Ping immediately understood that this person was one of the targets he had previously suspected.

As for who the deputy palace master’s backer is, is there any need to guess?

To be able to serve as a backer for a late-stage foundation-building monk, and to place a deputy palace master in a key place like Zhengyang Palace, in the Luoyang Sect, it is only possible for one of the five Golden Core monks.

There is only one Jindan cultivator from other sects.

That is Ancestor Lingyun!

Unexpectedly, he actually attracted the attention of the deputy palace master.

But this is not incomprehensible.

Over the years, the talent of the other academy sect has been relatively withering, and there are signs of gradual decline. Every new foundation-building monk is a cause for celebration.

Not to mention, Fang Ping is also a first-level alchemist who has achieved success through his own efforts. After that, he was sent to Lingmiao Mountain for three years, killing two demonic foundation builders, and also performed well.

As one of the few high-ranking officials of the other faction, it was only natural for Wei Youlin to intervene after learning that Jiang Wendao was using marriage means to win over him.

"Deputy Palace Master Wei is very familiar with the tricks commonly used by family sect monks, and he is very optimistic about you, so he does not want you to be easily deceived by the Jiang family's marriage. Of course, this matter is indeed not a small matter for ordinary foundation-building monks. Temptation, so Deputy Palace Master Wei also said that he will never let you suffer. "

Yang Feng said unhurriedly: "As long as you reject Sect Leader Jiang Wendao's proposal, Deputy Palace Master Wei is willing to give you two compensations."

"First, Deputy Palace Master Wei also has a daughter in his family who can marry you as a Taoist companion."

"Secondly, Deputy Palace Master Wei reported to Ancestor Lingyun, asking the Ancestor to help find a position as a deacon of the Alchemy Hall for you, and guarantee that you will not receive any additional assignments within ten years. If you can refine the Ascension Level within ten years, Yuan Dan, or any first-level mid-grade elixir, even if the situation deteriorates one day in the future and you have to go out to guard, Deputy Palace Master Cui can still guarantee you that at least you will not be sent to the front line battlefield to fight against the demon cultivators. "

"How about these two compensations?"

Yang Feng looked at Fang Ping, waiting for his answer.

No additional dispatches within ten years?

This promise alone moved Fang Ping.

Not to mention, other guarantees in the future.

Although you can get a certain degree of protection by marrying with the Jiang family, doesn't the extent of the protection depend on Fang Ping's contribution to the Jiang family?

How can such vague protection be compared to the clear price tag of Deputy Palace Master Wei!

Fang Ping made a decision after just weighing the interest.

"Since Deputy Palace Master Wei has spoken and offered the position of deacon of the Dan Hall, how can Fang not refuse? I will reply to Sect Master Jiang tomorrow and refuse the matter. However, the marriage will be put aside for the time being. Fellow Daoist Yang, you also know that Fang, a four-spirited monk, is lucky enough to be able to build a foundation. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope and he wants to attack the golden elixir, he should not be distracted too much. "

"Do you, Fellow Daoist Fang, no longer think about it?"

Yang Feng felt that the opportunity was rare, so it would be a pity to refuse it like this.

However, Fang Ping's attitude was tactful, but in fact he firmly refused again.

Seeing that Fang Ping had made up his mind, Yang Feng stopped trying to persuade him.

The main purpose of his trip was to persuade Fang Ping to reject the family faction's attempts to win over him.

As long as this main task is completed, other things like helping the Wei family girls get married are only secondary.

After all, marrying off the daughter of the Wei family was just a spur-of-the-moment decision made by Deputy Palace Master Wei after learning about Jiang Wendao's actions.

Although Fang Ping is a first-level alchemy master, after all, he is too old to succeed in foundation building, and his spiritual root qualifications are not very good, so his future seems limited. It was only his good alchemy skills that attracted the attention of Deputy Palace Master Wei.

Since Fang Ping doesn't want to, then Deputy Palace Master Wei will probably not mention it again, since his daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married anyway.

………

After the other faction made a clear commitment, Fang Ping did not hesitate any longer.

When it comes to factional choices, once the decision has been made, one must not be in a dichotomy; one must clearly state one's attitude.

Early the next morning, he found an excuse and went to the sect's main hall.

Seeing Fang Ping begging to see him, Jiang Wendao smiled a little more on his face and asked, "Junior Brother Fang, how have you considered the proposal I made a few days ago?"

Fang Ping looked solemn and said: "Junior brother, I am deeply touched by Sect Leader Jiang's love. But after I went back, I thought about it for a long time and finally decided that I couldn't bear it."

After that, he repeated to Jiang Wendao the reason he had told Yang Feng before that he did not have enough spiritual talent and needed to focus on practice.

Hearing that Fang Ping actually refused, Jiang Wendao showed a little surprise and astonishment on his face, as if he didn't expect that Fang Ping would actually refuse his solicitation.

After pondering for a few breaths, Jiang Wendao said calmly: "Junior brother Fang, this opportunity is rare, don't you really think about it?"

"Senior brother, please be considerate."

Fang Ping looked helpless.

Jiang Wendao looked at him deeply and his face turned cold: "In that case, let's just drop this matter. If Junior Brother Fang has nothing else to do, please come back."

These words completely lost the previous pleasantness.
