Today was the first night watch, so there was still time.

As for the last man, he was slightly older, around 20 or 29 years old. He had a long face like a horse. His chin was raised high, his eyes rolled up, and his expression was filled with disdain. He said, "Junior apprentice brother Wang, you've been in seclusion for so many months. You don't know that this period of time is the biggest joke in our Heng Yue Sect. Just like what junior apprentice sister Xu said, this Wang Lin used these shameless methods to become an inner disciple."
When Wang Zhuo heard this, he laughed mockingly, "You really scared me just now. So that's how you got in. But with your talent, you'll never reach the first level of Qi Condensation. Why did you come here to embarrass yourself and smear the name of the Wang clan?"
"Junior apprentice brother Wang, what you said is wrong. Although talent is important, perseverance is also key. Cultivating to become an immortal is something that defies the heavens. If you don't have perseverance, no matter how good your talent is, it's useless." The girl named Zhou blinked her eyes and said in a euphemistic voice.
"Senior apprentice brother Wang is right. This Wang Lin looks stupid, he doesn't look like a cultivator at all." The girl named Xu took a few steps closer to Wang Zhuo and seized the opportunity to speak for him.
Wang Lin chuckled. He finally understood that the relationship between the people in front of him was quite complicated.
Needless to say, Wang Zhuo liked the girl named Zhou. As for the girl named Xu, she seemed to have a crush on Wang Zhuo. That's why she tried so hard to destroy him.
His laughter caused Wang Zhuo to be dissatisfied. He snorted and said, "Wang Lin, I advise you to leave the Heng Yue Sect. Otherwise, during the inner disciple competition at the end of the year, even if you don't die, you'll be crippled."
Wang Lin had heard from Sun Dazhu that at the end of every year, there was a competition similar to the general exam. The winner would receive a magic treasure.
The competition was divided into two levels. One was for all the inner disciples to compete for the top ten.
The other was for all the new disciples to compete for the top ten.
He carelessly curled his lips and said, "You don't have to worry about me. Whether I'm crippled or dead, it has nothing to do with you."
Wang Zhuo sneered and said, "I'm only doing it because we're relatives. Since you don't appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for not showing mercy in the competition!" After saying that, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Wang Zhuo has looked down on Wang Lin's family since he was a child. Although he has never seen them before, he has heard a lot from his father. Especially when his father told him that Wang Lin's father had a sweet mouth and coaxed his grandfather to be biased. Not only did he give the other a large portion of the family property, but he also arrogantly and despotically insulted his father. Fortunately, his relatives had sharp eyes and helped his father take back the family property.
Therefore, in his heart, he had always felt that Wang Lin and his family were the shame of the Wang Family. What the father was like, the son would definitely be like.
Although he vaguely felt that things were not as his father had said after he grew up, he had always been arrogant and conceited. Sometimes, he even looked down on his father, let alone others.
The girl surnamed Xu was startled and whispered to Wang Zhuo, "Are you relatives?"
The other two were also surprised. This was the first time they had heard that the two were relatives.
The girl surnamed Xu saw Wang Zhuo's expression and quickly said, "Brother Wang Zhuo, he doesn't understand your kindness. Don't be angry. You are a good person and smarter than him. Don't expect him to understand your kindness immediately. When he suffers in the future, he will naturally understand your kindness.
We also have such relatives in our family. In fact, every family is the same. It is impossible for everyone to be as good as you. In fact, I understand your feelings. You hate iron for not being steel, right? "
Wang Zhuo's face was a little red when he heard the girl surnamed Xu. He glared at her fiercely. He couldn't tell whether this woman was mocking him or really speaking for him.
When Wang Lin heard the girl's words, he suddenly laughed and said, "Wang Zhuo, it seems that I really misunderstood you. Well, I, Wang Lin, will remember your kindness. Thank you."
As he was speaking, the door of the pill room suddenly opened and a young man wearing a small gown walked out. The young man looked like a tiger and had a clever expression. It was Wang Hao.
After he walked out, he loudly coughed to attract everyone's attention. He revealed a proud expression and said, "Today, the Spirit Seizing Pill hasn't been refined yet. You wait here for a while. After the master finishes refining, I will call you in one by one."
Wang Zhuo stared at Wang Hao, his teeth itching. However, he didn't dare to offend him right now. After all, Wang Hao was the disciple of the pill room's third apprentice brother. He was responsible for all the trivial matters of the pill room. If he offended him and the third apprentice brother pursued the matter in the future, his monthly salary would be reduced by a lot.
After Wang Hao finished speaking, his eyes swept around. When he saw Wang Lin, he revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. He quickly pulled Wang Lin to the side and whispered, "Brother Tiezhu, congratulations on becoming an inner disciple. I have heard about your matters. I wanted to go talk to you, but this place is too damn tight.
You don't need to take other people's words to heart. Wait until your immortal technique is successful, then show those who look down on you. "
Wang Lin's heart warmed. He smiled and said, "Wang Hao, thank you."
Wang Hao sighed and said, "That day at the mansion, I wanted to speak up for you, but my father glared at me. It seemed like he didn't want me to get involved. Brother Tiezhu, don't mind him."
Wang Lin shook his head and said, "It's all in the past. There's no point in bringing it up. Right now, I want to focus on cultivation and reach the first level of Qi Condensation as soon as possible."
Wang Hao's eyes flickered. When no one was paying attention, he took out an item and stuffed it into Wang Lin's hand. He winked at him.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the pill room.
"Alchemy boy, why aren't you back yet?"
Wang Hao answered and quickly ran back to the pill room.
Wang Lin tightly gripped the item in his hand. He glanced at it and saw three sparkling pills.
He quietly put them into his bag of holding. Not caring about the dirt on the floor, he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.
As for the other four, aside from the man in his twenties, who looked at Wang Lin with a strange expression, then sat down to cultivate like him, the other three stood to the side.
Wang Zhuo had a fawning expression on his face as he whispered to the girl named Zhou. The girl named Xu had an angry expression and would occasionally interrupt.
Time passed slowly. Darkness covered the land. The moment the moon rose, the door to the pill room opened again. Wang Hao walked out, looking exhausted. He held a tray in his hand.
There were five pieces of Low Grade Spirit Stone fragments and five sparkling and translucent pills inside.
Everyone went up to receive their share. Wang Lin was the last. After he took his share, he smiled at Wang Hao, cupped his hands, and left.
He remembered Wang Hao's friendship in his heart. The three pills that Wang Hao had secretly stuffed into his hand were Spirit Seizing Pills.
