There are two women and one man, both of whom have recently changed into disciples' robes, light blue jackets and white short coats.
Situ Nan stepped forward and introduced Zhang Rongfang to the three of them one by one.
The three of them were a little surprised when they first heard that Zhang Rongfang was worshiping Master Xiao Rong as his disciple.
"Brother Rong Fang heard that he was from a barbarian tribe, right? Or was he a Confucian householder?" a woman suddenly said.
Situ Nan nodded and confirmed this statement.
Immediately, Zhang Rong felt that the attention of the three people on him was much lighter.
He didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't the first time he encountered such a situation.
The combination of the fourth-class barbarians and Confucian households determines that no matter how capable he is in the future, he will not be able to reach the top.
This is not determined by personal will, but is clearly written into the laws of the Great Ling court. Barbarian Confucian households are not allowed to enter middle- and upper-class official positions.
The Great Spirit respects Buddhism and Taoism, but is extremely repulsive to Confucianism, even disgusting.
A few people chatted for a while, and after a while, five more people came one after another.
There were ten people in total, and together, the Red Pavilion seemed a bit small.
So the group of people found an open space beside the pavilion and chatted in pairs.
Zhang Rongfang and another Taoist who seemed to be as isolated as him were ignored.
The two simply stood together.
"These days, everyone is so realistic at such a young age that they don't even bother to deal with it." The Taoist sighed.
"What do you call Taoist brother?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
"Zhang Xintai."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Zhang Rongfang."
Zhang Xintai pointed covertly at a man not far away who was surrounded by several people.
"That Zhou Ze, have you seen that? He is only over nineteen, and he has already begun to cross the two realms of nourishing blood and strengthening muscles, and has entered the rank.
He is cultivating the Hunyuan Talisman, and his talent is quite terrifying. He is almost one level a year. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he has a great future. As long as he can withstand actual combat in the future."
Zhang Rongfang took a look and saw that Zhou Ze had a strong body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a high-spirited look. He indeed had a good temperament.
"There is also Tao Mengjie, whose family is very rich, so he used money to buy a spot. His martial arts skills are sparse and ordinary. But money is a good thing. He can't beat you, but he has a lot of family." Zhang Xintai commented, pointing to another slightly fat woman.
.
"Other than that, the rest of them have practiced at least one kind of talisman. Now that they have shown talent or financial resources, and have good connections, it is not a fluke that they can be promoted."
"They are much better than me." Zhang Rongfang sighed.
"Don't belittle yourself." Zhang Xintai patted Zhang Rongfang on the shoulder, "I've also heard about Xiao Qingying's incident. There are clear grievances, and kindness must be repaid. You dare to come forward at the risk of offending some people. This is you
The excellence.”
"Why bother mentioning things that should be done." Zhang Rongfang shook his head.
"Don't think too much. What I, Zhang Xintai, admire the most in my life are people with righteousness." Zhang Xintai patted Zhang Rongfang on the shoulder again. "What's wrong with having a low family background? I am a Taoist priest and there are many pigs with high family backgrounds. People are always nobler than pigs."
Zhang Rongfang didn't know what to say and just smiled bitterly.
"So Brother Xintai, what level of martial arts are you at?"
"Me? Just don't tell me." Zhang Xintai laughed and said, "Let's go. Let's talk next time. If you have time, you can come to Xuanxin Hall to find me."
Without waiting for Zhang Rongfang to reply, he turned around and walked away. He walked very fast and disappeared into the forest in a few seconds.
Zhang Rongfang watched the other party leave, feeling a little confused for a moment.
"When did you get involved with Senior Brother Zhang Xintai?" Situ Nan quietly approached from the side.
"Senior brother? Isn't he newly promoted?" Zhang Rongfang was stunned.
"No...Senior Brother Zhang Xintai's martial arts reached the second level last year. My martial arts talismans were taught by one of his junior brothers." Situ Nan said in surprise.
Zhang Rongfang was suddenly stunned.
Is he the only one in the whole audience who knows no martial arts at all? Even Situ Nan was taught the Talisman Code?
His current physique, Qi and blood still need to be cultivated, so he is still practicing Guanxu Gong.
After a boring party, seeing Situ Nan, Zhou Ze and Tao Mengjie chatting happily, Zhang Rongfang did not disturb her and left alone.
Not long after he left, Situ Nan was chatting with a few people, and then he suddenly remembered to look for his traces.
"Are you looking for that Zhang Rongfang? He has been gone for a while." Zhou Ze said.
He paid some attention to Situ Nan and another woman from Liu Meng, because these two were the most beautiful among the new disciples.
If Tao Mengjie hadn't been so enthusiastic and supportive, he would have already made separate invitations to the two women.
The Great Spirit supports polygamy.
"Well, I'm a little rude. I brought Zhang Rongfang, so he should go back with me." Situ Nan nodded and forced a smile at Zhou Ze's question.
"Do you have a good relationship with him?" Liu Meng asked from the side. She has a slender figure, straight legs, and a curvaceous appearance that she often exercises.
"I suggest you have less contact with him. It will do you more harm than good. After all, he is from a barbarian scholar family. If you interact with him in the future, you will only become farther and farther away from me."
"Yes, some relationships should be broken off when necessary. Otherwise, they will eventually become a drag in the future." Zhou Ze nodded in agreement.
"It's true. I used to have a childhood sweetheart who was my best friend. Later, our family backgrounds became more and more different. He always asked me for help. It's not that he is not good. It's not that I don't want to associate with him. It's just that over time, he himself
I'm embarrassed to come to me again."
Tao Mengjie sighed, "Later a best friend told me that my childhood sweetheart once told her that in front of me, she asked me to borrow money for help many times, and she always felt unable to hold her head up and felt uncomfortable and depressed. So...
"
Her words were somewhat realistic and made Situ Nan feel a little uncomfortable, but she also understood that what the three said might become the truth.
"In the future, just gradually reduce our contact with each other. As time goes by, he will naturally understand." Zhou Ze comforted him.
Situ Nan shook her head slightly. In fact, she had a good relationship with Zhang Rongfang. It would not be easy for her to break off the relationship immediately for a character like her.
Looking at the three new friends around them, they looked at the direction Zhang Rongfang left silently.
On one side is a new circle that is helpful for my development, and on the other side are my old friends who are gradually unable to keep up with me.
How to choose, she actually has a preference in her heart.

squeak.
The wooden door was quickly opened and closed again.
Zhang Rongfang let out a breath, walked quickly into the room, and sat down on the only stool.
Then he lowers his head and looks at his body. As long as he looks at any part of himself, the attribute bar will appear.
The gray-white attribute bar appears extremely clear in most fields of view.
hiss....
Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it nine times.
The breath draws a white line in the air.
He stood up and walked to the window. The open window faced the wooden corridor.
In the corridor, two Taoists, a man and a woman, were leaning against a red pillar not far away, chatting and laughing in low voices.
The two of them were wearing light blue robes and white coats. They were both practicing disciples.
This is no longer a bungalow area for handyman disciples, but a residence for practicing disciples.
Zhang Rongfang gently closed the window, returned to the chair and sat down.
He closed his eyes and rested his mind, quietly waiting for his body to return to peace.
After fifteen minutes, he suddenly opened his eyes.
‘After this period of conditioning, the life attribute has been raised a little lower than the lower limit.
I don’t know the full effect of this thing. I have used attribute points to increase my life before, but I won’t use it this time.’
Zhang Rongfang focused his attention on the skill bar.
'Try the skills this time. This is the only skill Guanxu Gong, and see how the attribute points are improved.'
Now that his status has been improved, his diet and nutrition have been improved, he doesn't have to do so many chores, and he will not accumulate attribute points as slowly as before.
It took almost half a year to save a little.
It's only been a little over two months this time, and it's already a little better.
At the moment, he no longer hesitated. He focused on the plus sign of Guanxu Gong, imagining using a little more force.
Snapped.
The number belonging to the attribute point changed from 1 to 0.
Behind the Guanxu Gong, there is an additional word "first level".
In an instant, a stream of heat surged out from his heart, flowing continuously throughout his body.
Zhang Rongfang felt as if his whole body was soaked in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.
This feeling lasted for a while and then slowly stopped.
He stretched his legs, moved his arms and wrists, and then stood up to check his condition.
‘Zhang Rongfang——Life 8-9, skill: Observation of Virtual Reality (first level of fine orifice). Available attributes: 0.’
Zhang Rongfang paused and quickly recalled the explanation given by senior sister Zhao Dacong.
‘The realms of Guanxu Gong are divided very simply. They are divided into Jing Qiao, Body Changing, Foundation Establishment, Inner Alchemy, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Refining. I should now be fully introduced to the first level of Jing Qiao.’
He tried shaking his hands and kicking his legs, but he felt nothing strange.
Apart from feeling a little better, nothing else has changed.
"This Observation of Void Skill is too..." Zhang Rongfang shook his head in his mind. Fortunately, he tested it and found that his attribute points could indeed improve his skills.
In this way...if you learn martial arts skills in the future, you can quickly catch up with others who have practiced hard for many years.
He is only sixteen years old in this body now. He will gradually accumulate attribute points in the future, and he will have a promising future.
After confirming that skills can be improved with attribute points, a big stone in Zhang Rongfang's heart finally fell to the ground.
In the next few days, Xiao Rong and his daughter returned, and Zhang Rongfang returned to his previous regular life.
What puzzled him was that Situ Nan had never spoken to him since the party that day. At most, they only nodded when they met, which was considered a greeting.
He couldn't understand it at first, but later, after hearing some rumors, he understood that this was the other party's choice.
Situ Nan got into the small circle of Zhou Ze, Liu Meng, Tao Mengjie and others, intending to set a boundary with disciples like him who had no future.
After Zhang Rongfang lamented the reality of human beings, he no longer thought about it. He ate, drank, and slept well every day, just waiting to recover his body as soon as possible and be qualified to practice martial arts.
What surprised him was that the first level of Guanxu Gong caused his life attributes to slowly increase.
In a blink of an eye, it’s July.
Zhang Rongfang’s life attribute also officially exceeded the upper limit of 10 points. It became ‘Life 9-10’.
He carefully wrote down this phenomenon for observation.
If the improvement of life brought by Avalokitesvara Kungfu later is more than adding points to life directly, then he may consider majoring in Auxiliary Avalokitesvara Kung Fu.
