No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? - Chapter 215
Chapter 215: Taishang Xuanji Gives Su Changyu a Gift
In the inn, Xu Luochen and his group of cultivator friends were all confused at this moment.
‘Be extremely strict?’
‘Increase the standards?’
‘Are you trying to kill us?’
‘Old Xu, have we ever offended you?’
‘If we have, please let Heaven punish us, don’t punish us yourself.’
‘We’ve been failing in the first place and now you want it to be stricter, how can we pass the assessment then?’
They were dumbfounded, but they didn’t know what to do.
After all, the people standing here were all big shots, so they were really at a loss for words.
Ye Ping’s voice sounded again.
“Senior Brother, how can I have the audacity to be the chief examiner? With you around, I wouldn’t dare to,” Ye Ping said. He wasn’t lying at all.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t be scared, even if it was Xu Chang.
However, the problem was that Xu Luochen was going to participate so he really didn’t dare to agree.
“Why not?”
“Ye Ping, in a group of three, one must take the lead.”
“Although I want to take part in the assessment this time, just follow the orders of the imperial court since they had issued it.”
“By the way, I’ll say this one last time. You definitely can’t go easy on us. Just do what you have to. Even if you have to use the strictest method, just do it. Do you understand!?!”
Xu Luochen said seriously. After saying that, he wanted to cry too.
‘Damn it, why did I say that for no reason?’
‘Why have I become like this?’
‘What the hell is going on?’
Xu Luochen was very uncomfortable, but no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to keep up with the pretense.
However, the one who was the most uncomfortable was not Xu Luochen but his good friends.
To be honest, they could accept his bragging but the issue was that there was no point.
Besides, they felt that there was no need to get them involved. ‘We’re just a bunch of good-for-nothings, just let us pass.’
Everyone was upset and they wished that they could turn into Xu Luochen and ask Ye Ping to give them some leeway.
“Senior Brother.”
Ye Ping still wanted to say something but Xu Luochen spoke directly.
“Enough, Ye Ping, don’t say anything, just follow the imperial court’s wishes.”
“However, in order to avoid suspicion, go with them first to handle the assessment tomorrow. I’ll chat with my friends. Let’s have a chat.”
Xu Luochen didn’t give Ye Ping a chance to speak.
He was now scared to make more mistakes if he continued to speak, so he might as well let Ye Ping hurry and leave.
“Okay, Senior Brother, I understand.”
Ye Ping had nothing else to say since Xu Luochen had already said that.
He indeed had nothing to say. Besides, he thought that his Senior Brother definitely had his reasons for asking him to do that.
Without any nonsense, Ye Ping bowed at Xu Luochen and then left with Chen Ning.
After Ye Ping left, the people quickly surrounded Xu Luochen.
“Brother Luochen, what’s the point of doing this?”
“Yes, Brother Luochen, aren’t you harming us by doing this?”
“Brother Xu, if I had known this, I might as well have not come to you.”
Everyone was upset and they looked at Xu Luochen in dismay and devastation.
“Let’s go upstairs to talk.”
Faced with the accusations of his friends, Xu Luochen felt really upset too, but he knew that he had to think of a solution to stop his friends from scolding him.
“Okay, let’s go upstairs and talk.”
“Alright, let’s go upstairs, let’s go upstairs.”
“Sir, please serve a fresh pot of tea.”
Everyone followed Xu Luochen upstairs eagerly.
On the other hand, the cultivators who had just mocked Xu Luochen just now hurriedly left.
They were full of regret and sadness, but now, they were even a little scared.
Indeed, they were scared. After all, Xu Luochen’s Junior Brother was really a student of the Jin Nation and if Xu Luochen bore a grudge against them, they would be in trouble.
They were smart enough to leave and Xu Luochen ignored them too.
Soon, they all arrived in the private room of the pavilion.
In the room, everyone was surrounding Xu Luochen in a bid to hear what Xu Luochen had to say next.
Seeing how eager they were, Xu Luochen could not help but speak.
“Everyone, you don’t really think that I am letting my junior brother be strict with us, do you?”
Xu Luochen asked. He had already gotten into nonsense-spouting mode.
As soon as he said that, everyone’s gaze turned peculiar.
“Isn’t that the case?”
“Brother Xu, what do you mean by that?”
“Yeah, is there something more to this that we don’t know about?”
Everyone asked curiously.
“Naturally, there is.” Xu Luochen took a deep breath and said, “Of course, I was just hinting my Junior Brother just now.”
“Although I was asking my Junior Brother, Ye Ping, to be stricter with us on the surface, I was just giving him a hint.”
“As long as you do what I tell you, I can guarantee that you will definitely pass.”
Xu Luochen said confidently.
Everyone came to a sudden realization after hearing that.
‘We can definitely pass?’
‘How does that work?’
Seeing the crowd’s reaction, Xu Luochen nodded with extreme confidence.
“What solution?”
“Brother Xu, I haven’t studied much, you can’t lie to us.”
“Yeah, Brother Xu, we’re all honest people, don’t lie to us.”
Everyone asked curiously.
Xu Luochen said seriously.
“Am I, Xu Luochen, that kind of person?”
“Everyone, it’ll be easy for you to pass the alchemy assessment tomorrow, you just have to be nonsensical.”
“Don’t refine pills according to the rules, just be as fancy as you wish.”
Xu Luochen said, giving them tips to pass.
“What nonsense?”
This time, everyone was curious.
They didn’t understand what it meant.
“Simple, you just have to refine pills without fire and let them form on their own.”
“Or, you can refine pills with water.”
“Do you get it?”
Xu Luochen said.
Everyone was speechless.
‘Just with this?’
‘That’s your solution?’
It was not that they did not trust Xu Luochen but it just didn’t seem believable.
‘Let the pills form on their own?’
‘Boiling water to form pills?’
‘Who do you think we are?’
‘Are we the best alchemy masters of the world?’
‘Big brother, we are just ordinary alchemists.’
Everyone was gloomy because they felt that Xu Luochen was kidding them again.
However, Xu Luochen waved his hands.
“Trust me guys, you will definitely succeed.”
Xu Luochen did not make things that clear but he was full of confidence.
At the same time, in the Qingyun Dao Sect.
A bunch of people came over too.
A bunch of people walked over with boxes, asking to see Su Changyu.
They said that they had something to give Su Changyu.
Soon, Su Changyu came over.
His eyes were full of curiosity.
“Changyu, they said that they have something important to give you, come over and take a look.”
Da Xu said as he pointed at those people.
The people from the Great Xia Dynasty were wearing brocade robes and they all seemed unique.
They stood outside the door, and after seeing Su Changyu walk over, they couldn’t help but approach him.
“Are you Lord Su Changyu?”
The leader asked, looking at Su Changyu subserviently.
“Do you know me?”
“Who are you guys?”
Su Changyu frowned and looked at the people with strange gazes.
“Lord Su, we are here by order to deliver something to you.”
The latter smiled subserviently.
“How do you know that I am Su Changyu?”
Su Changyu asked curiously.
“It says here that you’re handsome and you have an extraordinary aura and elegance. You’re the most suave person in this world and I could tell at a glance that it’s you.”
After hearing his words, Su Changyu smiled in satisfaction but he soon looked over.
There were several large boxes and Su Changyu couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Whose orders?”
“What are these items?”
The latter hurriedly answered, “Lord Su, it’s from Lord Xuanji.”
“We don’t know what’s in the boxes.”
“Xuanji? You mean Old Xuan?”
Su Changyu answered subconsciously.
‘Old Xuan?’
Everyone was dumbfounded. ‘Why did you call the chancellor of the Great Xia Dynasty Old Xuan?’
‘Big Brother, are you such a braggart?’
They were shocked because they were there by order of Taishang Xuanji. Hence, they didn’t know who Su Changyu was at all.
They only knew that Taishang Xuanji asked them to respect Su Changyu and fulfill all of Su Changyu’s requests.
Hence, they subconsciously thought that Su Changyu should be a talent that Taishang Xuanji valued greatly.
However, they didn’t expect Su Changyu to call him Old Xuan.
‘This… is a little too exaggerated, isn’t it?’
“It’s Lord Xuanji.”
The other party bit the bullet and laughed.
That’s all they could say.
‘Old Xuan?’
Hearing his name, Su Changyu was bewildered.
He stayed silent for a while before sighing.
“I have something to ask you but you must answer truthfully.”
Su Changyu said as he looked at the other party.
