Chapter 4 Is There Such a Good Thing?
Perhaps Chu Xinghe's words worked, and the brothers of Linghe Palace really didn't attack Chu Cheng.
But they chose another way!
Stop the medicine!
That's right, although the treatment of the outer sect of Haotian Sect is not as good as that of the inner sect, it is the first sect in the world after all. Even the resources of the outer disciples are much better than those of the inner disciples of ordinary sects, and even the inner disciples of many large sects can't compare.
As for the elixir, it naturally comes from Linghe Palace. It can be said that all the elixir resources of the entire Haotian Sect are provided by Linghe Palace.
All parties come to a designated point to get their own elixir resources, and then go back to distribute them to disciples according to their share.
But this time, the outer sect didn't get the elixir, the reason is very simple, the medicine is scarce.
Originally, the outer sect didn't think much about it. After all, they are the outer sect. It's nothing to cut them off when the medicine is scarce, but when asked when it can be replenished, the answer is that it can't be replenished!
This time, the outer sect was anxious, what's the matter? Are the outer disciples not human? It's okay to bully us on weekdays, but this bully is open?
But just when the outer disciples were clamoring to find the elder to argue, a message came from Linghe Palace.
"What? It's because of that bastard Chu Cheng!"
"He said that Chu Xinghe broke his arm?"
"Bullshit... Chu Xinghe has never been to the outer sect. I was there that day. People from his former team came to see him. He was rude and was beaten up by the crowd!"
"I heard that this guy used to treat people in the team in a rude way."
"Fuck! Just because of this bastard, we can't get the elixir? It seems that the people in Linghe Palace said that he slandered their junior brother Xinghe, and they couldn't stand it?"
"I don't care, I'll kill this bastard!"
How cruel can a group of outer disciples who can't get the medicine be? Chu Cheng should know this best.
Although Chu Cheng, who had rested for a few days, was still bruised and swollen, he could already get out of bed and walk. Chu Cheng swore! Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west! Don't bully the poor young man!
One day, Chu Cheng will return to the inner sect as a great emperor!
The first thing he will do is to make Chu Xinghe kneel before him and call him daddy!
At that time, he will not only break his four limbs... no! All five limbs!
But just when Chu Cheng was imagining that he would kill people with a magic sword in his left hand and magic in his right hand, the door was kicked open by a group of outer sect disciples.
"You are called Chu Cheng!" An outer sect senior brother who looked like a fathead fish looked at Chu Cheng with his head tilted.
"Senior brother... what's wrong... I... I am Chu Cheng, what do you want me to do..." Chu Cheng returned to the world from heaven, but soon the world could not keep him, and the gate of hell opened.
After a group of outer sect senior brothers confirmed that the person in front of them was Chu Cheng, they didn't care about anything and just beat him up!
No one could tell how long the beating lasted, but everyone knew how long it would take for him to get out of bed.
Half a year...
After this beating, the news spread to Linghe Palace. When the outer disciples went to collect the pills, the scarce medicines were not scarce at all... Not only did the outer disciples get their share, but even the fathead fish who took the lead in beating Chu Cheng was rewarded with a bottle of body-building pill by the senior brothers of Linghe Palace!
This time... it's good. Teaming up to beat Chu Cheng has become a daily routine for the outer disciples.
Chu Xinghe also got the news. He was heartbroken by Feng Fei who sent the news: "Brother Feng, this... How can I deal with this..."
"Brother Xinghe, you are joking. What does this have to do with you? What does it have to do with my Linghe Palace? Chu Cheng is narrow-minded. He bullied others when he was the captain. Brother Feng has investigated this matter clearly. Moreover, he was beaten up by a group of people but he framed you, brother. It is really infuriating. The people from the outer sect took action this time because they had an inextinguishable spirit in their hearts. Naturally, they had to punish this villain!"
Chu Xinghe didn't know what to do with Feng Fei's words. How can you bully people so righteously? Brother Feng Fei, I misjudged you!
But why do I feel so fond of you!
Speaking of Chu Cheng, Feng Fei actually asked someone about it. Chu Cheng and Chu Xinghe both came from Kaoshan Village. Although they were from the same village, Chu Xinghe lost both his parents when he was young and was an orphan. He grew up relying on the support of his fellow villagers.
Chu Cheng was different. His father was a wealthy man in the village. Chu Cheng was a bully in the village since he was young. It was common for Chu Xinghe to be bullied by Chu Cheng in the past.
I even learned from Chu Xinghe’s former teammates that after entering Haotian Sect, this guy actually broke Chu Xinghe’s arm when he went out for trials. However, his teammates said that Chu Xinghe was broad-minded and had never reported the matter.
Feng Fei, who was always gentle, was really angry after hearing this!
What? Bullying an honest person, right!
It’s okay to bully my junior brother Xinghe since he was a child, but he dared to mess around after entering the sect. Even Feng Fei couldn’t stand such a person!
"I was so busy talking about this that I almost delayed the main business. Junior Brother Xinghe, the Great Elder is already waiting in the Medicine King Palace. Today, he will teach you all the basics. You are the first one to be taught the basic skills of alchemy by the Great Elder himself." Although Feng Fei envied Chu Xinghe, he also knew that Chu Xinghe was extraordinary.
With the Vermillion Bird Spirit Fire, he will definitely reach the peak in the future.
"Ah..." After hearing Feng Fei's words, Chu Xinghe was helpless... Actually... I really didn't think about learning to make medicine... I heard that learning to make medicine requires memorizing all kinds of boring knowledge. My memory is really very poor... I can't do it...
But it's useless to say more. Under the leadership of Feng Fei, Chu Xinghe came to the Medicine King Palace.
In the center of the Medicine King Palace, a pill furnace with the phantom of the Vermillion Bird is extremely dazzling. This is the Vermillion Bird Furnace, the treasure of the Medicine King Palace!
This is the pill furnace of the Medicine Saint Lu Changfeng in the past. The Vermillion Bird Furnace is equipped with the Vermillion Bird Spirit Fire. Lu Changfeng swept the world's alchemists and all bowed down to him. This also established the reputation of Haotian Sect's medicine technique as the best in the world.
But in the past four hundred years, no one can use the Vermillion Bird Furnace anymore, because without the Vermillion Bird Spirit Fire, the Vermillion Bird Furnace cannot be started at all.
At this time, the elder was already standing next to the Suzaku furnace. He looked at the Suzaku furnace and then at Chu Xinghe who came in. He was a little lost in thought. He seemed to see the scene where the Suzaku furnace would rekindle the Suzaku Spiritual Fire one day and bring the Haotian Sect to a new peak.
"Disciple Chu Xinghe (Feng Fei) greets the elder."
The two of them saluted the elder together.
"Feng Fei, you have worked hard. Go teach other disciples."
"Disciple obeys."
Feng Fei walked out of the Medicine King Palace. Only the miserable Chu Xinghe and the elder who was full of hope for the future were left.
In the following time, the elder first started with the Suzaku furnace and told Chu Xinghe the story of the Medicine Saint Lu Changfeng.
It sounds good...but...I don't want to learn to refine medicine...Chu Xinghe is even more miserable.
"To refine medicine, you must first identify the medicine. From today on, I will personally teach you various methods of identifying medicine. The way of refining medicine is hard, but you have the Suzaku Spiritual Fire, and the future belongs to you."
What is boring? Chu Xinghe only took half an afternoon to understand.
What evening primrose...moon dark grass...moon soul grass...brother...they all look exactly the same, how can I tell them apart? There are also slight differences in the patterns? Chu Xinghe felt that his eyes were about to explode, and he couldn't see any difference at all.
Doom Compass...isn't this a punishment? Isn't this going to compensate me with a peak martial arts master? This is much more uncomfortable than being locked up, okay?
He was extremely miserable, but Chu Xinghe had no choice. Why is it so difficult to be expelled from the sect? I just want to become a martial emperor in a second.
Chu Xinghe had thought before that if he wanted to be expelled from the sect, he could point at the nose of the elder and scold him, and then would he be expelled from the sect for being disrespectful to his master and ancestors?
But the result of being disrespectful to his master and ancestors is not expulsion from the sect, but being tortured to death!
He wanted to be expelled from the sect, not reincarnation, and the Doom Compass seemed to have restrictions on this, not allowing some overly deliberate practices.
You have to do it right and that's the difficulty. Chu Xinghe was looking at the three herbs while thinking to himself, "Fuck!" Is this Doom Compass a system?
Logically, shouldn't the system give you all kinds of help to make you go against the will of heaven? Since I got the Doom Compass, I haven't received any help from it... All kinds of tasks are like beauties placed there to attract me, but what does it mean to not let me touch them?
"Xinghe, identifying herbs is not a matter of a day or a night, you don't need to be depressed." Looking at Chu Xinghe who looked depressed, the elder thought that Chu Xinghe was depressed because he didn't learn well on the first day.
"Thank you, elder... How long will it take to learn it?"
"I started identifying herbs as an apprentice, and it only took me five years to master the medicinal properties of 70% of the world's medicinal materials." The elder smiled softly while stroking his beard.
"Minus...minus? Five...years?"
"Ahem...Xinghe, you don't know that although my talent is not the best, it is only once in a hundred years. I have mastered 70% in five years, which is unparalleled in the world. If the talent is slightly worse, it would be the best to master 30% to 50% in ten years."
Crack...a thunder exploded in Chu Xinghe's ears.
Ten years? 30% to 50%?
That's for those with slightly worse talent? What about people like me who don't even want to learn? Twenty years...thirty years? Chu Xinghe seemed to see himself sitting here at an old age, distinguishing the difference between evening primrose and moon soul grass.
"Okay, today's class is over, you should go back and rest, and come to listen to the lecture tomorrow morning." The elder smiled and sent off Chu Xinghe, who was like a wooden man.
Chu Xinghe greeted the brothers who passed by woodenly along the way. Now Chu Xinghe has lived in Linghe Palace and lives in the same room with Feng Fei. This is specially arranged by the elder.
Seeing Chu Xinghe returning to the room like a wooden chicken, Senior Brother Feng Fei was also stunned, but then he thought of the strict requirements of the Great Elder, and it was normal for Junior Brother Xinghe to be scolded on the first day of learning.
"Junior Brother Xinghe, the Great Elder is a strict person, but the Great Elder's medicine refining skills are hard to find in the world. Junior Brother must work hard to learn from the Great Elder."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Feng... I will work hard..." Chu Xinghe answered woodenly. If he didn't want to work hard now, he would want to die.
"What did the Great Elder teach me today?" Feng Fei continued to find a topic.
"Identify medicines... Evening primrose is evening primrose... Moon Dark Grass is Moon Dark Grass, Moon Soul Grass is evening primrose... Oh my..." Chu Xinghe's mind was in a mess.
Feng Fei nodded as if he understood very well and said: "Junior brother, don't be discouraged. It is indeed difficult to get started in identifying medicines, but once you get started, the elder will definitely teach you more advanced fire control techniques, and then it won't be so boring. Moreover, you have the Suzaku Spirit Fire and are the only one who can use the Suzaku Divine Furnace. Your future is definitely limitless, but you must not be as reckless as you were the first time. It would be bad if you damage the Suzaku Furnace."
Feng Fei reminded Chu Xinghe patiently.
But Chu Xinghe only heard one sentence from Feng Fei...
Damage the Suzaku Furnace?
Is there such a good thing?
