Song Qingyi replied, "It’s not considered as cultivation of Taoism as I have yet to achieve Huandan. May I know what brought you here?"
Shen Lian had nothing to hide, "I am on my way to the Temple of Killings. I didn’t expect to pass by this place."
Song Qingyi gave the I-knew-it face and said, "I thought so too. The Temple of Killings is a branch of Qing Xuan. I am guessing you wanted to learn the Daoist martial arts from Brother Chen Jianmei. Actually about ten years ago, Chen Jianmei has became the advisor of Hanhai Kingdom, which is located out of this desert. He helped the Hanhai Kingdom to kill the Mirage Demon king and that act earned the respect of the nation. He is also giving talks about Daoism, and if one’s character and potential impressed him, he might take them in as his disciples. Unfortunately, you came at the wrong time."
