In That Distant Little Dark Room

Ch. 35 - Disciple

Ch. 35 - Envy

A year has passed by and the Xuanwu Conference is imminent.

During this year, Zhang Jingmo and Lu Guijiu had only a handful of times to leave the cave. Except for the precious elixir that they had to pick up in person, Zhang Jingmo cut off all contact with other people.

Yu Fen was very sensible and did not bother Zhang Jingmo. Instead, he cooperated and acted in front of the others in the Lingxu sect, saying that his friend had gone crazy and wanted to send the apprentice he had painstakingly cultivated to die.

This news reached Taoist Cen's ears, making him even more furious. There are three of his disciples in their twenties this year, but they are already at the fifth level of Qi refining. In previous years, Taoist Cen would have been sure of victory, but something happened this year - but this change was not caused by Zhang Jingmo, but by two other people with advanced cultivation levels. A genius who has reached the fifth level of Qi refining stage.

Of the two new disciples at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, one is a disciple of the master, and the other is a disciple of an elder from the Lingxu Sect, so their strength is not that weak.

Almost everyone in the Lingxu Sect felt that Zhang Jingmo's disciple might have only one ending - falling into the abyss when raising funds, and turning into a pile of withered bones before he could grow up.

Zhang Jingmo didn't go out, so he didn't know what the atmosphere in the sect was like, but every time the Xuanwu Conference was held, the atmosphere in the Lingxu sect would be tense for a while, so he didn't take it to heart.

Lu Guijiu was still cultivating day and night, but there were still three months left before the Xuanwu Conference, when something unexpected happened.

This change was within Zhang Jingmo's expectation - Lu Guijiu's senior brother and Zhang Jingmo's eldest disciple, Ji Jinglun, was back.

Ji Jinglun is a genius. To be precise, Zhang Jingmo's two former disciples, one male and one female, are both geniuses. They both entered Taoism earlier than Zhang Jingmo, and their subsequent achievements were also greater than Zhang Jingmo's.

Take Ji Jinglun as an example. After forming the elixir, he left the Lingxu Sect and traveled far away. Zhang Jingmo never heard from him. It was only after the demon invasion that Zhang Jingmo found out that Ji Jinglun was on another continent. He created his own sect, married Yuanying, and became the founder of a generation.

Now that he has returned from traveling, he wants to prepare for foundation building. Zhang Jingmo, as his master, must help him no matter what.

Back then, Zhang Jingmo was worried about building the foundation for Ji Jinglun. He simply ignored the fact that Lu Guijiu was about to participate in the Xuanwu Conference, and focused all his energy on Ji Jinglun.

Zhang Jingmo didn't know what Lu Guijiu was thinking at that time. He only knew that after this incident, his relationship with Lu Guijiu became much colder. Lu Guijiu seemed to deliberately reduce the time he spent meeting with him. until......

But now that there is a chance to make a new choice, Zhang Jingmo will naturally not make the same mistake again.

The time when Ji Jinglun returned to the sect did not change. As soon as he came back, he went straight to Zhang Jingmo's cave to report to his master that he was safe.

Zhang Jingmo was fighting with Lu Guijiu when he saw a white light flashing quickly on the horizon. Where the white light fell, a black-clothed monk in powerful clothing appeared. The monk said loudly: "Master!"
