Chapter 336 You are not suitable
The master and his nephew watched the stars for half the night, and the next day they went to collect the reward of 100 taels of silver in high spirits and put it in their pockets.

I heard from the bailiff that Chang Mingwei has woken up and will be brought to the capital for interrogation in the next two days. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be taken to the capital as a typical example for execution.

After receiving the bounty, Pan Yun and Miao Zhen went shopping and eating before returning to the inn.

Wang Cong stayed in the workshop for two nights and one day and finally carved out the raw jade.

He carved a pair of jade pendants as big as his palm, carved two jade plaques, made a bunch of jade rings and earrings, and used the rest to grind three jade beads.

He opened the box and showed it to Pan Yun: "Master Junior, I want a jade pendant and a jade plaque that I can wear around my waist and neck."

Pan Yun picked up the jade pendant and looked at it in the sunlight, and exclaimed: "Did you carve this?"

Wang Cong nodded, "Yes, this is the Kirin Dingyun, and the space formation can be engraved on the back."

Pan Jun turned it over and took a look at the back, then nodded and said, "Indeed, it can be done."

Pan Yun looked at Wang Cong. He didn't expect that his nephew was such a nephew who had great pursuit for jade materials and carving.

In this case, she would have to try her best not to damage his carving when carving the space formation.

Pan Jun immediately outlined the direction of the space formation in his mind. Just as he was lost in thought, he heard the waiter's enthusiastic voice greeting people.

Pan Yun and the other two subconsciously looked up.

The innkeeper bent over and enthusiastically led a young man in fancy clothes inside.

Seeing the face of the young man in fancy clothes, the three of them fell silent.

Wang Cong: "...A freeloader who wants to become a guest room thief in Sanqing Mountain?"

Pan Yun looked the man up and down and asked, "Did you pick up the money, steal the money, or rob the money?"

The smile on the waiter's face froze and he mechanically turned his head to look at the customer behind him.

The guest remained calm and saluted the three people respectfully, then said to Pan Yun seriously, "Master, I just went to the bank."

Pan Jun blinked and scratched his ears, "What did you call me?"

Qu Le: "Master!"

Pan Jun stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly realized, "Did you see us yesterday?"

Qu Le knelt on the ground with a plop, "Master, please accept me as your disciple."

Pan Yun: "I don't accept disciples."

Qu Le took out a thick roll of banknotes from his arms and presented it with both hands, "Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

Pan Yun swallowed hard, but still refused, "I can't accept you."

Qu Le raised his head aggrievedly, "Why? I wanted to become Master Xuanmiao's disciple before, but you couldn't be her master, so you rejected me. But you can accept disciples at your own will, so why don't you want to accept me?"

Pan Yun: "This is not your problem, it's mine."

Pan Yun said: "Just now, I had a vague feeling that if I accept you as my disciple, you will not live long."

Qu Le immediately said, "I don't mind."

Pan Yun looked at him steadily, and shook his head after a moment, "No, you care."

Pan Yun laughed at himself, "I was blinded by money and lost my mind. Third Brother and Fourth Sister were right to reject you. Sanqing Mountain will not accept you."

Qu Le frowned.

Before, she only rejected him on behalf of Xuanmiao. He was willing to pay the money, and she was still willing to let him join Sanqing Mountain. Why did she reject him now directly on behalf of Sanqing Mountain?
Pan Yun: "I told you that you would not live long, but you denied it subconsciously without even thinking about it, which shows that you don't believe in divination. If you don't even believe in divination, it's obvious that you don't even believe in alchemy."

"You don't believe in alchemy but want to practice Taoism," Pan Yun shook his head and said, "You just want to learn how to fly, right?"

Qu Le: "Can't I learn?"

Pan Yun chuckled and said, "You don't believe in alchemy, which means you don't believe in spiritual energy or mysteries in the world. So how can you cultivate your energy?"

"Without Yuanli, how can you fly?"

Qu Le immediately said, "I believe it. I believe whatever the master says."

Pan Jun looked into his eyes and shook his head, "Go away, Sanqing Temple is not suitable for you."

Qu Le was reluctant to leave, and raised the banknote in his hand, "Master, this is a five thousand tael banknote. I have already written home, and the rest of the silver will be sent to me soon. Don't worry, I will definitely not give less than ten thousand taels of gold. If you are willing to accept me as your disciple, I am willing to add two thousand taels of gold."

Wang Cong opened his mouth in surprise and turned to look at Pan Yun.

With this much money, it is enough to buy ten Sanqing temples.

But Pan Yun, who always loved money, shook his head directly, turned back to his room without saying a word, and said, "Pack up your things, let's go back to Sanqing Mountain."

Wang Cong and Miao Zhen came back to their senses, responded immediately, and went back to the house to collect their things.

Qu Le also opened his mouth wide, and when he saw that she really was leaving without taking any money, he couldn't help but take two steps on his knees.

But he quickly stopped and just knelt on the ground stubbornly, his face turning a little blue.

Miaozhen looked back, not knowing whether he was angry or aggrieved.

They didn't have much stuff, most of which was still stored in their own space, so after collecting a few pieces of clothing, they checked out of the inn and left.

Qu Le knelt stubbornly in the yard. When Pan Yun and the other two passed by him, he felt so aggrieved that he almost cried.

Pan Jun walked past him without stopping.

In fact, she had a lot to say to him, but she felt that he couldn't listen at this moment;

She wanted to say something more to warn him, but she felt that he was not smart enough to understand.

So she could only sigh and leave without leaving him any hope.

After leaving the inn, the three of them walked towards the outside of the city without stopping. Miao Zhen: "Based on my many years of experience in reading novels, he must be waiting for the junior master to come back at this time. He may think that the junior master is just testing him, so he will kneel until the evening, or even tomorrow, for a longer time."

Pan Jun shuddered, "This is why I don't dare to accept him."

She said, "I am not afraid of stubborn people. Who among those who have entered the ranks of spiritual practitioners is not stubborn? It's just that the direction of their stubbornness is different."

"But I'm afraid I'm not smart. I don't know why I'm so stubborn."

Wang Cong also nodded, "Although I have only met him twice, he is too conceited and eager for quick success. He is not a potential Taoist."

“A Taoist practitioner can be persistent, confident, and even have flaws in character, but he must listen to all sides and be open-minded.” He said, “For mortals like us, practicing Taoism is like groping our way across the river. If we only look at what we can see, without seeking or thinking, then what kind of Taoism are we practicing?”

"Junior Master reminded him three times to believe in magic, but he just ignored it." Wang Cong shook his head. If he had thought seriously about Pan Yun's questioning once among the three chances, Junior Master would have given him another chance.

Pan Yun remained silent. After leaving the city, she found a secluded place, climbed into the medicine cauldron and flew high into the sky. Then she covered her chest with her hands in pain and almost cried, "Twelve thousand taels of gold were enough to raise me up, and I just missed it."

Wang Cong: "... Junior Master, are you spending so much money?"

Pan Yun: "And you guys."

Wang Cong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I don't spend any money, so you don't have to consider me."

He paused and said, "Little Master, you should also save money. I think in ten years, I will find it difficult to earn 12,000 taels of silver, let alone 12,000 taels of gold. It is difficult to increase income, so let's try to save money."

When Miao Zhen heard this, she also felt that Qu Le gave too much money, and couldn't help but say: "How about we go back and take him in? Anyway, we can teach him. Whether he can learn depends on his luck."

Pan Jun shook his head. "I feel it. Because of Master, I feel like I am the same as my elder brother. If I accept a disciple, the disciple will be very unlucky. Losing money and shortening life are the least of the consequences. I am afraid that his family will also be implicated."

With a thud, Wang Cong and Miao Zhen squeezed together, shoulders touching, and stood opposite Pan Yun.

Pan Yun glared at them and said, "You are not my disciples, what are you afraid of? Don't worry, bad luck will not be passed on to you~!"

Wang Cong exhaled and smiled embarrassedly: "Little Master, that's not what we meant."

Miaozhen: "I just didn't react for a moment."

Wang Cong changed the subject, "That idiot wouldn't have been kneeling in the inn all the time, right?"

Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "Kneel if you want. If he can kneel down and understand, it will be a blessing for him and his family."

Miao Zhen: "I bet he will remain on his knees. Big Brother, shall we make a bet?"

Wang Cong: "I don't gamble, Junior Sister, you should stop learning Master's bad habits and stop gambling all the time."

Miao Zhen muttered: "I don't have any, I'm just playing..."

The flying speed was quite fast, and in less than an hour the three people and the cat returned to Sanqing Mountain.

There was no one on the top of the mountain. It was obvious that everyone was busy in the mountain temple.

Pan Yun jumped out of the medicine cauldron and said hurriedly, "Quick, quick, light a fire and boil some water. We need to clean the cauldron carefully inside and out."

Wang Cong and Miao Zhen both tensed up and immediately followed Pan Yun to the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was right next to the Dan Well. Wang Cong immediately drew water from the well and started boiling water in several medicine cauldrons in the pharmacy.

Their large medicine cauldron was also filled with boiling water.

After boiling and soaking, Pan Yun used his energy to slowly push the medicine cauldron out, stood beside the Danjing, and wiped the outside again and again with cold water mixed with hot water.

There was blood on one of the legs of the medicine cauldron and it couldn't be washed clean.

The three of them came forward to take a look.

Miaozhen: “In the gap.”

Pan Yun: "It seems to be caused by smashing flowers and willows."

Wang Cong muttered, "Why are you using the medicine cauldron to hit someone? What if you kill them?"

But he still suggested: "Sprinkle some vinegar on it, maybe it can remove the blood stains in the gap."

Pan Yun was quick, she immediately said: "I'll go to the kitchen to get vinegar."

The vinegar stayed on it for a long time before it was removed a little. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it could be removed.

The three of them tied cleaning cotton with wooden sticks and wiped the inside of the cauldron with boiling water. After the boiling water was poured out, Pan Yun stood on a high stool and looked inside, finding the dirty spots and wiped them again and again...

Pan Xiaohei also had his paws washed and thrown in, looking around for any missing parts.

Then it found a lot of bloodstains that they had overlooked.

The three men refused to believe it and squatted inside the cauldron with lanterns in hand to look.

Pan Yun: "Why is there a formation engraved on the medicine cauldron? Shouldn't the inside be smooth?"

Wang Cong: "My father said that this is a pill-making formation, which can increase the success rate of pill-making."

Pan Yun pointed at the wrinkles around the edge of the tripod's ears and asked, "What about these two places?"

"This is a magic array to prevent the elixir from being damaged by the thunder and to protect it."

Pan Yun was extremely surprised. "Big Brother actually has such an ambition. He thinks that the elixir he refines can attract heavenly thunder?"

Wang Cong: "My father is quite capable. Besides, this is the medicine cauldron he made when he was 25 years old. What's wrong with young people of this age having greater ambitions?"

Pan Jun thought so too.

Miao Zhen: "Hurry up and find a way to wash it clean. It's almost afternoon, and Master Uncle and the others will soon go up the mountain."

The three of them looked at each other and continued to work hard.

When Wang Feiyin led the two children up the mountain, the three of them had already cleaned the cauldron and put it in the pharmacy. But Wang Feiyin, standing at the entrance of the mountain, sniffed and said, "Why do I smell vinegar?"
