The yard is spacious, clean and tidy. The most conspicuous one is the small medicinal field on one side of the yard. There are many old spiritual herbs, with crisp and thick leaves and dew hanging, which is very eye-catching.

Obviously, these spiritual herbs belong to the personal property of the manager Zhang Huaiyuan.

Xu Xian had an idea at this moment, and after he went back, he would plant some in Lao Yao's yard.

When Jiang Ming saw Xu Xian coming in, he whispered to an old man next to him who was watering the spiritual grass: "Manager Zhang, this person is also a disciple of our side. He doesn't see him coming on weekdays, but he suddenly came here today. I'm afraid he won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

The old man turned his head and looked at Xu Xian, then continued to water.

"Is there something wrong?"

This was obviously a question to Xu Xian.

The situation was beyond Xu Xian's expectations, and if there was one more Jiang Ming, it would definitely be inconvenient to speak.

"Manager Zhang, I heard that you like winery wine. I happened to be familiar with my disciples, so I found a way to get a jar and I will deliver it to you..." Xu Xian said very slowly, and he looked at the other party's reaction while saying.

Manager Zhang smiled at this moment: "You are intent."

After saying that, he put down a small kettle in his hand and wiped his hands. Xu Xian also took advantage of the situation and placed the jar of spiritual wine on the table.

After putting it off, Xu Xian said first: "The cold wind has become stronger these days, and drinking some wine can warm your body. I originally wanted to ask for some methods to cultivate spiritual herbs, but the disciple suddenly remembered that the medicine field file was forgotten on the mountain and had to go and get it back quickly, so I could only come and ask for advice another day."

Come quickly and walk quickly.

Seeing Xu Xian retreating, Manager Zhang nodded repeatedly, obviously very appreciating. If someone else had a gift, he would be panicked when encountering such a thing, and in the end he would be embarrassed.

Xu Xian is smart, and he can easily resolve this with an excuse.

"This Xu Xian is quite interesting!"

Manager Zhang muttered himself, but this sounded uncomfortable in Jiang Ming's ears.

The old man walked to the table and sat down. He opened the jar of spiritual wine. The fragrance of wine immediately floated out. Manager Zhang didn't use a wine glass, but directly took the jar and took a sip.

"Good wine." Manager Zhang is an old winery. He has drunk a lot of spiritual wine from the winery and can taste this jar of good quality. In other words, it will definitely take a lot of effort to get such a jar of wine by a disciple from the outer courtyard.

After a while, Manager Zhang looked back at Jiang Ming who was still standing in the yard.

"You go back first. I will consider the recommendation of the quota. Jiang Ming, I am very optimistic about you. After all, I am a small Huanshan, so you have the highest understanding."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Manager Zhang, if you help me accomplish this and become a pill disciple, you will give me the elixirs here..."

Manager Zhang waved his hand: "Don't say this matter so early. After all, even if I recommend it, I will have to compete with other disciples recommended by the manager. Fortunately, I will need three medicine disciples this time, so the possibility of being selected is still very high. Okay, go, remember, don't mention this matter with others before it is announced."

"Of course, don't worry."

...

Xu Xian was walking alone on the road.

When he thinks about problems, he always walks very slowly.

Xu Xian had a intuition that the Jiang Ming he met just now was probably in Manager Zhang's yard because of the recommendation quota.

It was a few years earlier that others came, so naturally, they had to have a better relationship with Manager Zhang. They had an unstable foundation and it was extremely difficult to compete with him in this situation.

But Xu Xian would not give up like that.

As long as the recommended quota is not finalized, you will have a chance.

Giving gifts today is just the first step. As for how to go the second step, Xu Xian has already had his plan.

The next day, Xu Xian borrowed a book from the book pavilion and went directly to find Manager Zhang.

I was lucky, and today I was the only one at home.

"It's you, come in." Yesterday, I became familiar with each other. Manager Zhang was not surprised to see Xu Xian when he opened the door. The other party suddenly came to give gifts, and he must have something to ask for. It would be abnormal if he didn't come.

Xu Xianli was very thoughtful, and he gave the ceremony first, and then stepped into the yard.

This time, Xu Xian came here under the banner of asking questions. In herbal medicine, Xu Xian has already read all the books in the book cabinet, and it is naturally easy to summarize a few exquisite questions.

Manager Zhang was also willing to give advice. The two people who were not familiar with each other soon started chatting about the Lingcao issue.

On this day, Xu Xian asked three questions and Manager Zhang answered them one by one.

After that, Xu Xian did not mention anything else, but immediately said goodbye.

On the third day, it was still the case, but the problem was twice as high, and after the problem was discussed, the two started to communicate in other aspects.

Before we knew it, we were no longer asking for advice, but we had interactions with each other.

On the fourth day, Xu Xian came again. This time, Xu Xian did not ask questions, but discussed the skills of spiritual herb cultivation with Manager Zhang. He had brought the same book for the past three days, just like a reading material carried by a student, and did not have the intention to take it out specifically, but every time Manager Zhang could always see it.

This happened for seven or eight days in a row.

Lao Yao also knew Xu Xian's actions, but he couldn't understand them.

That night, Lao Yao couldn't hold back his curiosity. He caught Xu Xian and finally asked out the doubts he had in his heart these days.

"What do you do when you go to Manager Zhang every day? Did you mention the recommendation quota with him?" Lao Yao was very concerned about Xu Xian's affairs.

"Discussing herbal medicine, as for the recommendation quota, I have not mentioned any words!" Xu Xian told the truth.

Lao Yao was anxious.

"It's too late for you to get in touch at this time? Let me tell you that the news about the drug disciple will be announced tomorrow. You won't ask Manager Zhang now, and I'm afraid you won't have a chance at that time."

After saying that, Lao Yao thought about it and prepared to pull Xu Xian out.

He planned to talk to Manager Zhang based on his own face. After all, he is now the second level of Qi Refining. Sooner or later, he can find a position in Manager, and the other party will give him some face.

Xu Xian won't go.

Seeing that Lao Yao was a little angry, Xu Xian said, "Lao Yao, I know you want to help me, but I can't take the initiative to speak up for this matter."

"Why?" Lao Yao was puzzled.

If you don’t ask for help, people know what you are going to do?

"Then let me talk to you." Xu Xian thought for a while, Lao Yao was not an outsider. So he took out the book that he had never left every day for the past few days and placed it on the table.

"Hundred Cursive Stories?" Lao Yao knew the words, but he didn't understand what Xu Xian had to do with this book.

"This is written by Zhang Huaiyuan." Xu Xian pointed out the topic directly.

Lao Yao was stunned.

"Zhang Huaiyuan? Is that Manager Zhang?"

Xu Xian nodded with a smile.

I saw Lao Yao pick up the book on the table and flirt with it for a long time, but I didn’t see a single signature, and there was no author’s name at all.

"How did you know he wrote it?"

Lao Yao asked if he didn't understand.

"Handwriting!"

Xu Xian pointed to the book and then said, "Writings are like Son of Man. As long as they are humans, they will not be mean to their sons and will care about them at any time. I carry this book with me every day, so Zhang Huaiyuan naturally has a sense of closeness to me."

Lao Yao nodded, but then he thought of something: "What if it wasn't written by him?"

"Nothing happens!" Xu Xian was very sure: "I took the question of asking for advice as the entry point, and extended it to the discussion and exchange of herbal medicine without any trace. Zhang Huaiyuan is an expert in this field. The deeper he researches, the more he can resonate with me, and he will think that I have achieved such success after reading the books he wrote."

Lao Yao thought about the truth and couldn't help but nod.

He knew Xu Xian's understanding and interpretation of the Five Qi Returning to the True Art of Practice, at least in his eyes, was unmatched. He didn't expect that the other party also had such attainments in herbal medicine, and could discuss and communicate with experts like Zhang Huaiyuan who had been immersed in this art for decades.

If you don’t have enough profound knowledge in this area, just a few words will make you lose it.

Xu Xian continued: "Zhang Huaiyuan attaches great importance to traditions and rules. He is a scholar and has a great Confucian style in his bones."

"He is a man who is good at being honest and does not like flattery. Even if he has a friendship, if I ask him directly, it will most likely have a counterproductive effect, and he will not achieve it."

"How do you know this?" Lao Yao didn't believe it. He couldn't tell such things without more than ten years of friendship.

Xu Xian smiled and pointed to the book "Hundred Cursive Script" again.
