Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 18: Manager Qin

Tang Jie got up to clean the courtyard before dawn.

There was a rustling sound in the yard. Tang Jie waved the broom again and again. The spiritual energy traveled through his body, passing through every vein, and finally became invisible.

But every time he moved his whole body, there was always a trace of spiritual energy that would eventually be hidden in his blood, making Tang Jie's whole body's strength greatly increase.

This is what Tang Jie discovered after he broke free from the restraints. He discovered that during the cultivation process of the Zangxiang Sutra, not only can spiritual energy be used to expand the meridians, but it can also be integrated into the blood and increase strength.

Using spiritual energy to refine blood, bones, and internal organs is something that can only be done in the realm of transcending mortals. This is why it is called transcending mortals because it is separated from the mortal body. However, the Zangxiang Sutra was able to refine the body when the spiritual platform was first opened, which surprised and delighted Tang Jie.

At that time, he realized that this was the true hidden function of the Zangxiang Sutra.

Xu Muyang has always believed that the Zangxiang Sutra was written by the war master, and the effect must not be as simple as simply attacking the Yumen. Now it seems that he was not wrong. It's just that he mistakenly thought that the function of the Hidden Image Sutra should be the Nine Transformations of the Jade Gate, but he didn't expect that it was to refine the body in advance.

No wonder Xu Muyang didn’t expect this.

The immortals dominate with magic, and the Jade Gate is the most important. It is directly related to the speed of cultivation. Who would have thought that the Hidden Image Sutra is a different path. As for why this was the case, Tang Jie knew that he would not be able to find the answer before he completely opened what the soldier master had hidden.

At this moment, he had cleaned the courtyard and practiced the Zangxiang Sutra. He felt that his strength had increased again. Although he is a young man, his strength is not much different from that of an adult, and he is also happy in his heart.

The door creaked open, and Mrs. Wu came out of the house. Seeing that Tang Jie had cleaned the courtyard, she smiled and said, "You kid, you get up so early to do things again."

Tang Jie already smiled and said: "I was saved by my two elders. I can't repay this kindness even if my body is shattered. Cleaning the courtyard is nothing. Grandma, please rest first while I go to the kitchen to boil water."

"Oh, don't move. After you came, we both had nothing to do. You have to do all the work." The old lady said helplessly: "I don't have any slack in my old bones. ”

"Then I'll give you a pat on the back." Tang Jie came over with a smile, helped the old lady sit down, and actually focused on patting her on the back.

His back-knocking technique was learned from his father in his previous life. The movements were professional, the techniques were in place, and the weight and weight were well controlled. It actually made the old lady extremely comfortable.

When Old Man Wu came out and saw the situation, he couldn't help but smile and said: "I really know how to enjoy this. You have become an old lady of the Wei family."

Old Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes at her husband without curiosity and said with a smile: "I see, even the old lady of the Wei family is not as comfortable as I am. Xiao Jie's technique is really good. It makes me feel comfortable all over. Everyone is good." I look a little younger. I have been married to you until now, and I didn’t expect that I have enjoyed it for once, and that my trip to this world has not been in vain.”

"Since grandma likes it, Xiao Jie will do it for you every day from now on." Tang Jie said with a smile.

"Okay!" Mrs. Wu agreed without any hesitation.

Tang Jie is a good person. He has lived here these days and kept his house clean. He doesn’t need any wages. He only needs three meals a day and a place to stay. Whose servant do he really want? It's not that cheap either, so why would the old lady be unhappy?

In fact, sometimes it is really simple to please someone. You can speak, behave, and do things. As long as you do things beautifully, people will naturally be happy.

The old Wu family couple themselves are not experienced in the world. Tang Jie can coax Xu Muyang, so it is even easier to deal with this old couple. They serve the two elders as if they are in heaven. In addition, they are lonely in old age, and their children When he was not around, Tang Jie was with him. The more he looked at him, the more he fell in love with him. He treated him as if he were his own child.

"In that case, you will stay here from now on and don't have to go anywhere." Mrs. Wu said with a smile.

"That's not possible, grandma, boy, I still have to do things. I can't rely on you and my two elders for food every day, right?" Tang Jie replied with a smile.

"You are still young and don't do things in a hurry."

"Don't look at my young age, but I am very strong. I can do all the work of adults. Besides, my second elder saved my life and took me in. It is only natural that I serve you. How can I continue to live here for free?" Drink."

Old man Wu thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right."

Old Mrs. Wu stared: "Old man, what are you talking about? You really want Xiao Jie to go out, can't we afford to raise a child?"

"Hey, you can't say that." Old Man Wu waved his hand and said, "Children of poor people have long been in charge. If Tang Jie hadn't suffered all the way, he might not be as smart as he is now. I think it would be wrong for him to let him go out to do things. There are some benefits. If you feel bad about it, you don’t have to accept his money and save it for him to use for getting a wife in the future."

Old Mrs. Wu thought about it, lowered her head and thought for a while: "Okay, but since it is your wish, then this matter falls on you, old man. You can find a better job for Xiao Jie."

"Me?" Old Man Wu was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Where can I find something for him to do? It depends on what he knows."

Tang Jie's hand on his back slowed down, and he lowered his head and replied: "Grandpa, I am poor, but I can do nothing except farming."

"You know nothing?" Old Man Wu's face immediately fell: "This is a bit difficult. Have you never done anything before?"

"Yes." Tang Jie said: "For a while, I worked as a servant in a family there. The people there liked me and took good care of me. But the horse thieves came... …”

He didn't say any more, his voice was filled with sobs.

The old couple understood and sighed together.

Old Mrs. Wu still said: "Oh, let's not talk about these sad things. No wonder you, Xiao Jie, have taken care of the house so well. Your relationship is also with a rich family. That's right, old man!"

Old Mrs. Wu suddenly shouted: "Why don't you ask Manager Qin if you can't let Xiao Jie enter the Wei Mansion to work?"

Old man Wu immediately frowned: "Isn't this...not good?"

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Wu had already shouted: "You saved Manager Qin's life. That winter, didn't he almost freeze to death in front of our house like Xiao Jie? Speaking of which, What a coincidence, I didn’t expect that Xiaojie would be like this twenty years later. Qin Yuan is now the chief steward of the Wei family, and he is good to us. Go ahead and tell me, I think this can be done!"

"But the Wei family does not accept people of unknown origin, so even Manager Qin may not be able to make the decision."

"Why is the origin unknown?" Mrs. Wu stared and shouted: "Xiao Jie is now a member of our family. He is... he is... he is my stepson. Is it possible that I, Wu Yu, can return the lotus flower?" Is his origin unknown? If that’s not enough, just say he is your illegitimate son who stole your life outside!"

When Old Man Wu heard this, he was very embarrassed: "What are you talking about! I am already fifty or sixty years old, how can I secretly give birth to a twelve-year-old child? If your words spread, let me be in the neighborhood. How to be a human being, it’s really… really…”

Old Mrs. Wu curled her lips: "Xing'er is only seventeen this year, isn't it because you are old enough to have a son?"

"How can it be the same? I was not yet forty at that time, so I still have...still...still have strength." Old man Wu squeezed for a long time and squeezed out the word "strength".

"Xiao Jie is not much younger than Xing'er."

"Nonsense!" Old man Wu was so angry that his wife threw her hands away.

Tang Jie also laughed when he heard the old couple bickering, but the next moment he knelt down in front of Mrs. Wu and shouted: "Tang Jie is willing to recognize the two elders as his adopted father and mother, and also asks the two elders to take him in, and from now on he will be the son of a human being." Filial piety!"

“This kid is still nice to talk to.” Mrs. Wu smiled and took Tang Jie’s arm: “Hey, good boy, since you’re already kneeling down, I won’t accept you. Come on, get up.”

Then he looked at his husband: "What, you're not happy yet? I think it's your blessing that Xiao Jie can be your adopted son!"

"This...this..." Old man Wu shook his head. After all, it was not what his wife wanted. He finally nodded: "Okay, okay, I promise."

It was interesting to think that I had adopted an adopted son again in my old age, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Then why don't you invite Manager Qin to come and sit at home?"

"I will invite him, but this matter cannot be rushed. Tang Jie has only been in our house for a few days. He must stay for a few days first to let the neighbors know where he is and get familiar with each other before inviting him. Otherwise, Qin The manager asked me what happened to this child, but we couldn’t tell. How can we recommend him?”

Privately, Old Man Wu also felt that he needed to take another look. This person's character cannot be seen in a day or two. It always takes time to understand slowly.

"That's right." Mrs. Wu muttered and looked at Tang Jie, who already smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry, as long as the two elders don't mind that I only eat and don't work."

"Oh, I can't blame you. You haven't done enough work yet? That's it. You, just live here well. Your godfather is here for everything, so you don't have to worry about anything."

"Yes, godmother!"

Just like that, Tang Jie officially settled in the Wu family.

Time flies, months pass in the blink of an eye, winter turns to spring, and it’s another good year.

It has been almost a year since I first met Xu Muyang.

In this year, Tang Jie has obviously grown taller, his meridians have long been expanded, and even his blood vessels are full of spiritual energy. It seems that the Zangxiang Sutra has not been practiced to the end, and it has automatically moved towards the bones and organs, causing The whole person is getting stronger, but he still looks like an ordinary boy on the outside. No one knows that this boy already has the power in his body that can easily defeat three or five strong men.

At the same time, Tang Jie also gradually became familiar with the nearby neighbors. Now everyone on Daliushu Street knew that the Wu family rescued a boy in trouble last winter and has now adopted him as an adopted son. Although he is young, he is very flexible and well-behaved. From time to time he will help his neighbors with things. He is also tall and handsome, and even attracts the admiration of some girls nearby.

This year during the Chinese New Year, Manager Qin visited the Wu family and brought some gifts. Tang Jie was lucky enough to see him, a middle-aged man in his forties who looked mature and steady.

Manager Qin almost froze to death in the Wu family. Fortunately, the two elders of the Wu family gave him a bowl of hot porridge and saved his life. Unexpectedly, he suddenly started to tremble a few years ago. He followed the master of the Wei family and became the chief steward of the Wei family. He never forgot his kindness. Every year during the holidays, he would come to visit and give some money.

Wu Xing, the son of Mr. Wu, came to work in the Wei Mansion a few years ago thanks to Manager Qin. Later, he followed the eldest young master of the Wei family to Xiyue College as a servant scholar. Old man Wu suddenly had a son who cultivated immortality, and his status rose sharply. Although he has not yet returned from his studies, even if he is just a spiritual disciple, it is enough for Old Han Wu's family to have food and drink. No one dares to come to the door to cause trouble, and Manager Qin is more diligent because of this.

Today, Manager Qin came to visit Old Han Wu again. Old Han Wu asked Tang Jie to prepare a banquet of wine and meat, and then they had dinner together.

During the meal, Mrs. Wu winked at the old man again and again, but the old man just buried his head in his meal and pretended not to see her.

Seeing this scene, Manager Qin smiled and said: "I guess something is wrong, right? We have been here for so many years, why are we still hiding it? If you have anything to do, just ask me, as long as I can do it, I will do it." I dare not resign."

Old Mrs. Wu glared at her husband angrily, and then said: "That's how he is, he doesn't ask for help easily. No, I asked you to help Xing'er a few years ago to introduce things to do, and now I still feel that Sorry."

"It's a trivial matter, nothing important." Manager Qin already said with a smile: "Brother Xing has lived up to the expectations of these two old men and has become a companion. I also hope that Brother Xing will benefit from it in the future."

"That's right, if he dares not to take care of you, I will skin him. Even if he becomes an immortal, he is still my son, the meat that fell from my belly!" Mrs. Wu said happily, and then He grabbed Tang Jie beside him and said: "You also know my Xiao Jie. He was picked up from the snow by our old couple a few days ago. Speaking of which, he is as miserable as you were back then."

"Yes." When he heard what happened back then, Manager Qin's eyes turned red, and he felt quite sympathetic to this boy who shared the same fate as him.

As soon as Mrs. Wu saw the opportunity, she hurriedly said: "Although this child's life is hard, he is very smart and strong. Thanks to him during this period of time, he has been able to clean up this house. It is called a clean house. You can see it." Here we are. He has also been with a wealthy family before, but it’s a pity that the family suffered a disaster, and that’s why he fell into this situation. You see..."

"You want me to take him into the Wei Mansion?" Manager Qin already understood what the old lady meant.

"Yes!" The old lady stopped hiding and simply said: "Do you think it can be done?"

Manager Qin thought for a while and replied: "It's not impossible, but he has only been here for a short period of time and doesn't know enough about him, and there is no shortage of people in the Wei Mansion now."

The old lady's face immediately fell.

Manager Qin said again: "But this kid is smart and smart. I've seen it too. It seems like he cooked the meal today, right?"

"That's right, knowing you were coming, Xiao Jie has been busy all day."

Manager Qin smiled and looked at Tang Jie: "I can understand that you want to come to the Wei family. But you should know that it is difficult to enter the Wei family. Tell me first, what are you trying to do with entering the Wei family?"

After thinking about it, Tang Jie replied: "I want to join the Wei Mansion. First, I can earn some family income and support my second elder. His second elder saved me, and I want to repay my kindness. On the other hand, I envy brother Wu Xing for following Wei. The eldest son of the family is going to Xiyue Academy. If possible, I hope to use my own efforts..."

Manager Qin nodded: "Very good, you didn't lie."

The world has never been fair.

Xiyue Academy only has 1,500 places each year, and I don’t know how many people break their heads trying to squeeze in.

But for ordinary people, things that are difficult to achieve are often just a simple and trivial matter for the nobles. Some big families can even easily get multiple quotas, and these extra quotas are often used to give to the next generation. people.

This is because various sects have regulations that prohibit disciples from bringing servants into the academy. Therefore, in order to ensure that their children live a comfortable life, nobles from aristocratic families often come up with compromises, such as sending servants into the academy as students. , apparently a student, but actually a servant, that is, a companion.

Of course, it's not just about serving. Servants are given the opportunity to cultivate immortality because of their family, and they must be grateful to their family. Even if they achieve success in the future, they will often continue to serve the family.

Most of the more than ten immortal cultivators raised by the Jin family came from this way. These people are more loyal than those hired from outside. It can be said that they and the family prosper together.

Due to its higher economic status, Lingzhou has made a lot of contributions to Xiyue Sect, so it can get 120 places from Xiyue Academy every year, and among these 120 places, 40 One is in Canglong Mansion.

Of these forty places, part is usually divided up by the five major families first, and the rest is grabbed by outsiders.

The Wei family can have one quota every year, and then accumulate it through mutual exchanges. In this way, multiple quotas can be obtained at one time. Usually, one of the direct descendants is selected and two or three servants are brought.

So being able to become a servant of a big family can be said to have the opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

This is exactly why Tang Jie went to great lengths to enter the Wei family.

Now the eldest young master of the Wei family has successfully entered the school, but it is said that the situation is not good, and the chance of entering the transcendent realm is not high, that is, he will not be able to graduate, and he will only be a spiritual disciple throughout his life.

Although spirit disciples are also cultivators and can use magic, they are still mortal bodies with limited lifespan and limited abilities.

If the Wei family wants to protect the family in the long run, they must have their own true immortal cultivator, who must at least be a spiritual master. Therefore, their hope is placed on the young master. Even if he is not good, his companion can become a spiritual master. , that’s also good, and can be considered half of one’s own family. Generally speaking, for such people, major families often use marriage alliances.

For this reason, regardless of the low status of a servant, once he becomes a companion, the family will treat him well in order to win people's hearts.

The young master Wei Tianchong is eleven years old this year and will be able to enter school in a few years.

This is Tang Jie's chance to enter Xiyue Academy, and it is also his only chance!

But this is not a secret, many people know it.

For this reason, it has never been difficult for a big family to recruit servants, especially servants like Tang Jie who are old enough to enter the academy. Every year, there are countless people who want to enter with their connections and money. To the extreme, he is willing even if he is not paid, all he wants is an opportunity.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to enter the Wei family. In addition to being clean, you also need to have connections. The purpose of everyone entering the Wei family is not a secret, and Tang Jie does not need to hide it ~IndoMTL.com~ let alone conceal it.

As for whether he can stand out and be chosen as an attendant after entering, it depends on Tang Jie himself.

For Tang Jie, it is not easy to stand out from the many candidate servants, but it is much easier than fighting out of a hundred thousand people.

Speaking of it, I am also an adult in terms of knowledge. If I can't compete with a group of brats, then I don't care if I am an immortal.

Hearing Tang Jie's answer at this moment, Manager Qin nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, I will keep this in mind. There is no shortage of people in the Wei Mansion for the time being. You wait for the opportunity. , I will recommend you. Whether you can succeed or not depends on your own performance."

"Thank you, Butler Qin!" Tang Jie bowed to the end excitedly.

With Qin Yuan's recommendation, he had a chance to get started.

For Tang Jie, the road ahead is still long, but no matter what, there is a glimmer of light at dawn.

——————————

PS: Because I have saved manuscripts, I basically keep updating the first chapter around eight o'clock every day, and the second chapter around ten o'clock every day. If the manuscript is not saved, it will basically be updated at noon. So whether Yuanfen has saved the manuscript or not, you can basically tell by looking at the update time, haha.

However, this time, I may save the manuscript as quickly as possible, because this time there are two updates a day. Everyone knows that when I write hentai, most of the time I update one, and occasionally two or more, on average. In fact, it’s not updated twice a day.

For me, this is a speed challenge and something I need to work hard to break through. Currently, I am constantly pushing myself and squeezing myself. So let me say hello first. I can’t guarantee how long the two updates will last. It may be too late to write. I think there are really not many manuscripts left, so I will slow down a little and wait until there are enough.

Of course, I will say hello when double updates change to single updates. For now, the rhythm of double updates is still maintained, and I hope to keep it going.
