Chapter 194: Special recruitment quota! Seeing Lin Jianyue again

The next day, early morning.

Just as the sky was getting light, Zhang Fan received a call from Sui Chunsheng.

Fang Changying was dead.

This Wu Wei Sect expert who possessed the 【Yansheng Method】 and 【God-Descending Method】 actually died in an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Yujing, without even a single wound on his body.

The Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance had spent a lot of manpower and material resources to capture this person, but not only did they fail to capture him, they also suffered losses of soldiers and generals.

It was only because Ma Buting's ancestral grave was smoking that he survived.

"Actually dead?"

Zhang Fan rushed out of the house. After all, he had fought Fang Changying, so naturally, he had to go over and take a look.

"Little Fan, going out so early? Do you want to eat a couple of steamed buns?"

Walking to the entrance of the residential area, Liu Fusheng poked his head out from the security room. The lunch box in his hand contained steaming hot buns, pork and green onion filling, with oil flowing from the soup. One could smell the fragrance from far away.

"Uncle Liu, I won't eat."

Recently, Zhang Fan's breakfast every day was the pancake from Uncle Feng Ping'an. He was a bit inflamed, so it was better to be light and clear the stomach.

He hailed a taxi and went straight to the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance General Association.

It must be said that the staff of the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance were indeed desperate enough. It was only eight o'clock in the morning, and it was already full of busy scenes, with almost all young people coming in and out.

Sui Chunsheng said that except for a few leaders, the average age of the personnel in the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance was only about thirty years old. There were very few people over thirty-five in this courtyard.

Like Sui Chunsheng, he was only twenty-eight years old this year. Just as the boss said, this is the age to make progress and earn money. Otherwise, without face and without money, dogs would dislike you when walking on the road. Isn't it pitiful? "This is Fang Changying's autopsy report."

As soon as he entered the door, Sui Chunsheng put a stack of materials in front of Zhang Fan. It must be said that the efficiency here is really high.

The body was discovered after three o'clock in the morning, and the autopsy report had already come out.

"No obvious external injuries... no signs of fighting at the scene... soul-aspect annihilated..."

Zhang Fan looked at the conclusion on the report, his brows slightly wrinkled. He was no longer a rookie who had just entered the Daoist world, so naturally, he knew what these meant.

"He was wiped out almost without resistance."

"Not an ordinary expert."

Sui Chunsheng's expression was solemn. Although the appearance of Fang Changying and Jiang Li caused quite a stir, this level of threat was still within the controllable risk range of the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance.

However, Fang Changying's death truly touched the nerves of the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance, which really made them nervous.

It is said that Lou Hechuan didn't sleep all night after receiving the news.

This president of the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance knew very well that the expert who wiped out Fang Changying was a quite tricky monster, tricky to the point that if the other party caused trouble in Yujing City, the impact would be far from comparable to the existence of Fang Changying.

"Could it be an expert from the Daoist sects?" Zhang Fan couldn't help asking.

"Looking at this sneaky style, it doesn't look like it. It can't be completely ruled out, only that the possibility is very low," Sui Chunsheng shook his head.

"What about surveillance?" Zhang Fan asked again.

"That place is in the suburbs and is an abandoned factory. Where would there be surveillance?"

Precisely because that place was a blind spot, Fang Changying hid in such a place. Who could have imagined that even with such caution, this Wu Wei Sect expert did not escape a disaster.

"He died at a really bad time," Sui Chunsheng's expression was solemn.

"Why?"

"Recently, the Daoist Alliance is conducting an advanced unit evaluation. If he could be captured alive, it would be a great achievement. This kid actually died at this time..." Sui Chunsheng shook his head.

If the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance was evaluated as an advanced unit, and he had contributed to the task of capturing Fang Changying, he could naturally fill in a bright stroke on his resume. Unfortunately, it was ruined now.

"It's really Cao Pi's wife entering the vegetable garden..." Sui Chunsheng hammered the table with some hatred for iron not becoming steel.

"Cao Pi's wife entering the vegetable garden? How do you explain that?" Zhang Fan was puzzled.

"Zhen Ji Ba Cai (Zhen Ji plucks vegetables)."

"..."

Zhang Fan savored it for a moment and felt solemn respect.

"Recently, the association is preparing to borrow experts from outside. Are you interested? You can sign a labor contract and be considered an external personnel," Sui Chunsheng changed the subject.

He had seen Zhang Fan's strength. He had contributed greatly to the two incidents at the old house in the city and the Xiao Xiaole Funeral Home, and could be considered a trustworthy friend of Jiangnan Province.

"I'd better forget it," Zhang Fan shook his head and refused directly.

Although he had a long-standing grudge with the Wu Wei Sect, at this moment, he didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the Daoist sects and the Wu Wei Sect.

Zhang Fan's idea was very simple: cultivate diligently, penetrate the secret of the 【Golden Glow Treasure Box】 as soon as possible, successfully merge with Zhao Jiexuan, complete the soul-aspect, obtain the complete version of the Divine Demon Saint Embryo, and improve his strength.

After all, not to mention that there was a Li Changgeng eyeing him covetously, who could be called an immortal enemy.

The identity of Zhang Fan's whole family seemed safe, but in reality, it was at risk of exploding at any time.

His father was the former Great Lingzong Wang. Now the Daoist sects up and down all knew that he had faked his death and hidden ten years ago, and now he had escaped the tribulation and achieved great divine power.

If the Daoist sects knew that Zhang Lingzong had been hiding in Yujing City for ten years, and that he had such a son...

Heavens, Zhang Fan didn't dare to think further.

Besides that, his mother was the previous generation's Ren Xiao, and her identity was even more sensitive. Although the person was no longer there, according to the rules, it would affect three generations.

The Wu Wei Sect knew the situation of their family well, but it seemed that only the group of thirteen zodiac signs knew, and they didn't share information with the Daoist sects.

Therefore, the current Zhang Fan could be said to have no sense of security at all.

Although he had already stepped into the High Merit rank, he still felt it was not enough.

Because Zhang Fan knew that if their family exploded, what they would have to face was completely not what he could bear now.

The current Zhang Fan, not to mention being able to help his father, would probably become a burden.

In such a situation, he would not waste time getting involved in disputes.

"Are you sure? The president is quite optimistic about you. It's not impossible to specially recruit you, just like Ma Buting," Sui Chunsheng advised.

Although organizations like the Daoist Alliance must take an exam to enter, and also check the components of three generations, there are exceptions. Every year, there are a few special recruitment quotas, which are personally controlled by the president.

"Then forget it even more," Zhang Fan muttered in his heart.

He knew that after the Gusu Jue Miao Temple incident, Lou Hechuan had set his sights on him. Zhang Fan didn't want to wander under the eyes of such an old guy all day.

The reason why he was so close to the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance and Sui Chunsheng was mainly because he wanted to understand the movements of the Wu Wei Sect in Yujing City, otherwise he would have no sense of security.

Now, what Zhang Fan feared most was that the other party would die and the net would break, directly exposing his identity.

Therefore, whenever there was any disturbance, he was more active than anyone else. As long as it was determined that it had nothing to do with him, he didn't care who it was.

"By the way, how is Ji Fengting?"

Zhang Fan changed the subject and asked about the little junior brother from Maoshan.

"He has been accompanying Qi Ji and taking care of him..." Sui Chunsheng said.

His Junior Sister died and his Senior Brother was injured; it was indeed quite miserable. Fortunately, after the incident, Jiang Hu helped busy himself back and forth, handling many things, which could be considered as remembering the incense of the same sect.

"If he knew Fang Changying was dead, he should feel better. Do you want to tell him?" Sui Chunsheng asked.

"If I were him, I would feel even worse," Zhang Fan said lightly.

"Why?" Sui Chunsheng was stunned, revealing a look of incomprehension.

"This kind of deep hatred, of course, must be avenged by oneself. Now that the person is dead, isn't it suffocating?" Zhang Fan whispered in a focused voice.

If it were him, he would pray to gods and worship Buddhas, hoping that the other party would live well, and wait until his divine power was achieved, and be the first to take him to the knife.

Just like before, the Dog Han Diyan, who wanted to put him to death three or four times.

Since then, the first thing Zhang Fan did every morning was to bless Han Diyan, hoping that the other party would be smooth in his work and everything would go as he wished, waiting for himself to go and kill him.

"Not everyone is as perverted as you," Sui Chunsheng shook his head.

He had seen Ji Fengting more than once, and he was a decent young man, without any murderous intent or evil spirit, so naturally, he wouldn't be as hateful of evil as Zhang Fan.

"Little Sui, look who's here." Just then, a loud voice came from outside the door.

Zhang Fan looked up and saw a thin man walk in. His face was sallow, his complexion was not good, and there was a scar on his forehead, as if left by a sharp weapon.

"Brother Hong, you're back from Southern Yunnan."

Sui Chunsheng looked at the newcomer and hurriedly got up to welcome him, looking quite familiar.

"Let me introduce you, this is Zhang Fan, my friend..."

"This is Brother Hong..."

"Little Brother Zhang Fan? I've heard Little Sui mention you. Just call me Hong San."

As he spoke, the newcomer put down the bag he was carrying and reached out to shake hands with Zhang Fan lightly.

"Hong San!?"

"Brother Hong is the third in his family, so we also call him Third Brother..."

Sui Chunsheng introduced.

More than ten years ago, Hong San joined the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance to work and was an old man in the association. At first, he managed the boiler...

At that time, the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance still had cremation and funeral services. Later, Hong San left the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance and went into business, also doing business for the dead. After all, this could be considered a rigid demand.

Birth, old age, sickness, and death—no one can hide from it.

Even so, Hong San's connection with the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance had not been broken. He had extensive connections and extraordinary methods. Sometimes he would cooperate with the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance to provide assistance.

The Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance also returned the favor, helping to introduce many businesses.

Now, Hong San is the largest merchant of urns in the entire Jiangnan Province region, mastering the first-hand source of goods, and can be called the industry leader.

When Sui Chunsheng just started working, he had dealt with this senior many times. As time went on, the relationship became very close.

Many ways of the scene had received a lot of guidance from this Brother Hong.

"Look what good things I brought you."

As he spoke, Hong San took out two bottles of wine from the bag. In the crystal-clear bottles, some kind of bones were soaked, thick and stiff, pale yellow, and one could faintly see bloodshot veins in the bone quality.

"This is..."

"Tiger bone wine... not a young tiger, nor a tiger, but an adult tiger with enough years and the most sufficient Qi and blood..." Hong San lowered his voice.

"Tiger bone is..." Zhang Fan opened his mouth, stopping mid-sentence.

"Imported goods, there are procedures."

Hong San saw Zhang Fan's thoughts and grinned.

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of cut and polished tiger bone from the bag, square and upright, gleaming with crystal-clear luster, and placed them on the table.

In ancient times, tiger bone was a good material for alchemy and medicine. Many secret pills of mountain gates had a tiger bone, but later, because of policy reasons, it was not easy to find. Even if it could be found, the price was extremely expensive.

Besides that, some people used tiger bone to refine talismans and magic tools, which was also quite mysterious.

Maoshan had a talisman, named 【Plague-Driving Talisman】, which was refined from high-quality tiger bone.

It is said that as long as this method is pressed on the roof beam of the house, the whole family will never get sick again, especially the life-threatening evil diseases, which will avoid it for fear of not being fast enough. It is very mysterious.

The two pieces of tiger bone that Hong San took out were high-quality tiger bones, with better texture than the soaked ones. For a talisman master like Jiang Hu, that was a rare treasure. If sold well, it could be exchanged for a car.

"Those who see it have a share. Come, one for each."

As he spoke, Hong San pushed a bottle of tiger bone wine and a piece of high-quality tiger bone to Zhang Fan.

"This... this is not very good." Zhang Fan hesitated.

He was seeing the other party for the first time, and receiving such a big gift was indeed inappropriate.

"Little Sui's friend is my friend. More friends mean more paths. Maybe there will be a time when Brother will beg you..."

Hong San said heartily: "If you don't accept Brother's gift, is it because you are afraid that Brother will beg you to do things?"

"If you are afraid, Brother won't force it."

"What is Brother Hong saying?"

Facing such enthusiasm, Zhang Fan felt embarrassed not to accept it.

"That's right."

As he spoke, Hong San took two cups and handed them to the two.

"Come and taste it. This wine is not ordinary wine. It is brewed from more than thirty kinds of medicinal materials," Hong San said mysteriously.

Zhang Fan poured a small cup and tasted it. There was no pungent smell, but rather a sweet and slightly tipsy feeling. Entering the throat and abdomen, he felt warm, as if a ball of fire was melting in his lower abdomen, and even the True Yang in his body was absorbing the medicinal power.

"Good stuff." Zhang Fan's eyes lit up.

This thing combined with inner alchemy cultivation could definitely accelerate the improvement of cultivation.

He didn't know that if this bottle of wine was sold, cultivation families like the Xiong family and the Wang family could easily pay 70,000 to 80,000 per bottle.

"Brother Hong, aren't you going to Southern Yunnan to talk about a business?" Sui Chunsheng tasted the wine and suddenly said.

"Don't mention it. There was a local tycoon over there who died of tuberculosis and ordered a top-quality urn from me, made of tiger bone. I sent it over eagerly, but who knew that his prodigal son actually wanted to return the goods..." Hong San shook his head.

"So I came back!"

"An urn made of tiger bone? Really atmospheric..." Sui Chunsheng just spoke, suddenly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the wine in the cup.

"I thought it would be a waste, so I dismantled the urn and soaked it in wine to drink."

Pfft...

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fan spat it out.

"Hahaha, Brother Zhang Fan, don't worry, it's a new box, it hasn't been filled with ashes, drink with confidence."

Hong San grinned, patted Zhang Fan and Sui Chunsheng on the shoulder, and laughed lightly: "People who cultivate the Dao have no taboos..."

"If you are not afraid of ghosts, are you still afraid of their ashes?"

"Brother is leaving first."

As he spoke, Hong San greeted them, holding back his laughter, and walked out of the office.

"Brother Hong is really enthusiastic."

Zhang Fan curled his lips, looking at the wine in his hand, suddenly feeling a bit strange.

"He is just a lively person."

Sui Chunsheng smiled awkwardly, then said: "Drink it, don't waste it. This is good stuff. The small mouthful you just spat out is worth at least one red ticket."

"So valuable?"

Zhang Fan was stunned, not daring to waste it, and regardless of taboos, he tasted it carefully.

"Zhang Fan, someone is looking for you."

Just then, the gatekeeper uncle walked in, leading a girl behind him.

Zhang Fan was stunned. Who could find him here?

As soon as he looked up, his whole person was like being electrocuted. He couldn't help but spit out the wine in his mouth again.

Pfft...

"You... how could you be here?"

Zhang Fan's eyes trembled, simply unable to believe it. The beautiful shadow reflected in his eyes was precisely Lin Jianyue...

Mao Rabbit, Lin Jianyue.
