Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 215 You made one mistake...

Liao Rujia personally spoke up and asked to assign Ding Chen the task of guarding the "Spirit of the Mutated Elements".

This made the elders, who originally thought that Ding Chen had a strong background and could not be provoked, and that he was probably here to "gild his reputation" at the bottom level, immediately understand: "It turns out that he is a discarded child..."

"That's much easier!"

As a result, this guy's attitude towards Ding Chen took a 180-degree turn.

The fat man threw the ID card with the other party's name on it onto the table with an indifferent look on his face, and said impatiently: "Okay, take your ID card and drink this bowl of liver-clearing and eye-brightening herbs."

"From now on, you will be a menial disciple of the Hehuan Sect!"

The fat elder said that the black bowl of stuff was "herbal medicine for clearing the liver and improving eyesight";

But in fact, it is a very well-hidden chronic poison, specially used to control the disciples within the sect!

Its effect is similar to what the cultivators from the Thousand Fire, Thousand Water, Thousand Thunder, and Thousand Wood sects encountered at the "meeting point".

However, looking at the entire [Hehuan Sect], the truth that the "herbs" are actually "poisons" is only known to the powerful elders, and the "core disciples" and "true disciples" who are regarded as the future successors of the sect!

As for the others, I have no idea...

Of course, if a disciple can make it all the way to the "core";

Or as they grow older and their cultivation improves, they are promoted to "elders".

Then the "poison" he had taken before would become a good medicine to clear his mind and eyes, which would be beneficial rather than harmful.

And every time at this time, the sect leaders would tell them the truth after "packaging" -

"The growth of every disciple is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge."

"The one who breaks through is the pride of heaven and the pillar of the sect!"

"You should have more rights and know more secrets."

"However, those disciples who have not yet crossed the single-plank bridge still need to pass the test before they can prove that they are truly gold that is not afraid of fire!"

After that, the sect leaders would gradually induce the disciples or elders to swear a blood oath to keep the secret...

Before this, Ding Chen, who had witnessed the tragic deaths of the four sects' disciples, had already made an agreement with Master Liao.

It is okay to become a menial disciple of the Hehuan Sect, but I will never take any drugs.

So, Liao Rujia said lightly: "Elder Fang, there is no need for him to take this herb. Leave it to other disciples!"

The fat old man called "Elder Fang" was stunned when he heard this.

Then he immediately came to his senses: "Oh, I understand!"

"Master Liao must have felt that since Ding Chen had been sent to guard the Will-O-Wisp, he would not live for more than a few days."

"It would be a waste to give him this bowl of slow-acting poison, so I said this..."

So, Elder Fang nodded respectfully.

After Master Liao and her group left.

Elder Fang randomly assigned a disciple named Liu and asked him to take the newcomer to find out where to live.

Before leaving, the fat and big-eared Elder Fang emphasized, "Ding Chen, since you are new here, I will give you most of the day to rest, get familiar with the environment, and eat and drink enough."

"Wait until tomorrow morning, and go to the mountain behind Dingzihao to guard the [Willow Fire]. Don't make any mistakes!"

……

Along the way, the triangular-eyed Senior Brother Liu was intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about Ding Chen's background, looking like he was trying to please him.

It was because the young man in front of him was the only errand disciple sent by the inner sect elders in the more than 20 years that Liu Hong had lived in the errand disciple area!

You know, many menial disciples never met other elders and high-ranking officials of the Hehuan Sect until their death.

The most distinguished figure they could meet was the ruler of the menial disciples' area: Elder Fang Jianfeng!

If Liu Hong had not seen an inner sect elder from a distance once before and carefully memorized the characteristics of his clothing...

When he met Liao Rujia today, there was no way he could guess the other person's identity.

Liu Hong secretly made up his mind: "I can ask an inner sect elder to personally send me here to be a 'manual disciple';"

"And right after she came on board, she assigned Ding Chen the most relaxing, comfortable, and profitable task of "guarding the will-o'-the-wisp."

"This is enough to prove that the boy who looks much younger than me is definitely not an ordinary 'connected person'!"

"I have to hold on tightly to this rare 'thigh', hehe..."

Although guarding the spirit of the mutated element will surely lead to death due to severe damage to the soul.

But this secret is only known to cultivators above the level of "core disciples".

Liu Hong and others, who were errand disciples, were unaware of this.

As the lowest level among the sect's practitioners, the death rate of menial disciples has always been high.

Therefore, no one would pay special attention to who went missing or died after taking on the task of "guarding the mutated elemental spirit".

It is for this reason that Liu Hong continued to treat Ding Chen as someone with "strong backing" and tried his best to please him along the way.

When they arrived at the residence, Liu Hong explained in great detail many things to note in the daily life of menial disciples, as well as sharing some personal experiences.

Ding Chen was treated so attentively by the other party that he wanted to return the favor.

He quietly released a ray of his spiritual perception, and scanned from head to toe, and immediately knew what was going on -

"Well, he has already reached the peak of the eighth level of the Condensed Spirit Realm. He only needs to make a little progress to reach the ninth level of the Condensed Spirit Realm."

"However, the veins on the left side of this person's waist are blocked due to taking too many impure spiritual energy pills. When he practices Qigong and moves the acupoints, his Qi and blood cannot flow smoothly."

"If no one gives him acupuncture, this guy will never be able to break through to the ninth level of the Soul Condensation Realm until he dies!"

“For me, this is a piece of cake.”

"But not now. Before the [Demon Blood Battle Puppet] is refined, it is not easy for me to show my strength."

"I'd better wait until late at night, when he's asleep, and then I can help him deal with it without anyone noticing..."

At this time, Liu Hong's explanation came to an end.

He asked in a flattering manner, "Junior brother, I live in the hut next door."

"Brother Ding, if you need any help, just come to me!"

In the cultivation world, people value strength more than seniority.

Liu Hong already knew that Ding Chen had reached the ninth level of the Condensation Spirit Realm, which was stronger than himself.

Therefore, although he joined the [Hehuan Sect] first, he now called the other party "senior brother".

"Thank you very much."

"Senior brother, you're welcome!"

evening.

It was just getting dark.

After Ding Chen finished his meal, he sat cross-legged, concentrating on refining the [Devil Blood Battle Puppet].

But suddenly I heard a commotion outside -

"Where is the new errand disciple? The one called Ding Chen!"

"Get out here and see me now!"

At this moment, the door of the next room creaked open.

Liu Hong ran out happily, posing as a loyal subject protecting his master: "Zhang Hao? What are you doing?"

"none of your business?"

The young man called Zhang Hao looked more than ten years younger than Liu Hong.

But his level of Xuan cultivation is half a head higher than Liu Hong's, and he is truly at the ninth level of the Ningling Realm!

Zhang Hao's nose was raised to the sky, and he said arrogantly: "When this kid went to the cafeteria to eat this afternoon, he took advantage of me not paying attention and spit into my rice bowl!"

"How is that possible? You are making a false accusation!"

Liu Hong suddenly became anxious: "I sat next to Senior Brother Ding in the afternoon and never left. He didn't..."

"Hey, you said no, then no?"

"Brothers, did the newcomer humiliate me?"

"Have!"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"I saw it too."

"And me, I saw with my own eyes that the new guy took advantage of the time when you, Hao, went to get more rice and spit into your soup. He even stuck his finger into the soup and stirred it a few times..."

After hearing this, Liu Hong felt nauseous: "Wang Qi, you are so disgusting!"

"Liu Hong, stop talking nonsense here!"

Zhang Hao pointed his finger at the other person's nose and said viciously, "If you know what's best for you, get out of here and stop meddling in other people's business!"

The quarrel outside was heard by Ding Chen who was in the house.

His eyes narrowed with a cold light: "That guy named Zhang Hao is here to cause trouble on purpose!"

"Could it be that in this menial disciple area, there is also a practice of bullying newcomers?"

"In order to live in peace in the future, I must take action today and completely extinguish the arrogance of these guys."

With this thought in mind, Ding Chen decisively pushed the door open and walked out.

After quickly scanning the five unfamiliar faces in the courtyard, he became more certain of his guess.

Because, he had never seen these guys since he came to the [Hehuan Sect]!

"Hey, you finally decided to come out?"

Zhang Hao had a sinister smile on his face.

Liu Hong's expression looked a little ugly, but also revealed a hint of excitement!

This is because he had already determined that Ding Chen must have an extremely powerful backing.

Zhang Hao thought that he had a cousin who was an outer disciple, so he dared to provoke him?

It's like going to the toilet with a lantern - looking for shit (death)!

"Do you recognize me?"

Ding Chen asked.

One of the disciples yelled, "Nonsense, you are Ding Chen who spat in Senior Brother Zhang's soup, how can we not recognize you?"

"Yes, even if you turn into ashes, we will still recognize you!"

Seeing this, Ding Chen scratched his head pretending to be innocent and said, "Oh, are you looking for Ding Chen? He is still in the room."

"what?"

When these words came out, the two disciples were stunned.

They had never seen Ding Chen before.

The reason he came here this time was only because Zhang Hao received an assignment from his cousin who was an [outer disciple], and he came here deliberately to cause trouble for Ding Chen and beat him up!

As for why Zhang Hao's cousin did this, no one knew.

They had never even seen what Ding Chen looked like, they only knew his name...

Now it seems that I have recognized the wrong person?

Several people were embarrassed on the spot.

"Uh."

"Cough cough..."

"I said he didn't look like him."

"Yes, yes, that's right. The person who spat in Senior Brother Zhang's soup was not this guy."

Seeing this, Liu Hong couldn't help but hold back his laughter.

Zhang Hao couldn't help but blush, and simply raised his arm to cover up his embarrassment: "Let's go into the house and deal with him!"

Then, a group of five cultivators at the eighth and ninth levels of the Condensation Spirit Realm rushed into the house angrily.

After a few breaths.

They came out angrily again and asked Ding Chen, who was smiling and looking up with his arms folded: "Hey, there's no one in there!"

"Didn't you say Ding Chen was in the room?"

"Haha, I was just teasing you!"

Ding Chen said with a fake smile: "Actually, I am Ding Chen."

"Didn't you say before that I was the one who spat into the soup?"

"Then why do you all not recognize me when I am standing here?"

For a moment, Zhang Hao and others looked at Ding Chen's playful expression, their faces turning blue and red.

"Damn it, we were all fooled by this kid!"

"Humph, so what if he finds out?"

Zhang Hao pinched his knuckles until they made a crackling sound, and said with a sinister smile: "I'll put it bluntly: someone doesn't like you, so I've asked a few of you to come and get you!"

"Do it!"

As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, he and the other four people attacked Ding Chen with punches and kicks!

Seeing this, Liu Hong was not surprised but delighted: "Great, great, Ding Chen is in trouble, isn't this a great opportunity for me to show my meritorious service?"

"Look at me performing 'sticking your neck out for your brother', he was so moved that he cried!"

"Anyway, a fight like this will definitely not put lives in danger."

"At most I, Liu Hong, will get beaten up and suffer a little, but in return I can gain the gratitude of a big boss with a strong background. Why not do it?"

"Brother Ding... er, no, it's Senior Brother Ding, I'm here to help you!!"

It's too late, it's too soon——

Just before Liu Hong joined the battle in a very high-profile manner, Ding Chen suddenly moved.

He used his hands and feet together, and his afterimage was as fast as the wind.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Anyway, with Liu Hong's eyesight, he couldn't see clearly how Ding Chen made his move.

He only felt a gust of wind passing by his ears.

When you look again with your eyes fixed.

The five errand disciples, led by Zhang Hao, were already lying on the ground, screaming in agony.

"Ah, it hurts!"

"Ugh my, my legs!"

"Mmmm..."

The scene before him made Liu Hong, who was originally excited, pause and freeze.

He was completely stunned: "Is the battle over now?"

"The 'sad drama' that came to my mind has not even had time to be performed..."

Then, he turned his head stiffly, looked at Ding Chen in horror, and swallowed his saliva: "Strong, he is really strong!"

"He really is a man with a strong backstage!"

"I, Liu Hong, will definitely hug your big thick legs!"

Ding Chen looked at the errand disciples lying on the ground in all directions and thought to himself, "The master behind you made a mistake."

"Even if I am alone;"

“Even if most of the mysterious spiritual power in my body is used to refine the [Devil Blood Battle Puppet]…”

"Using the only 10% or 20% of my combat power, it is still easy to deal with a few menial disciples at the eighth and ninth levels of the Condensation Spirit Realm!"

Then, Ding Chen walked towards the five people who were rolling on the ground in pain, step by step.

"You, don't come here!"

Zhang Hao stammered, "Do you know who my brother is? He is an outer sect disciple of our sect, and he will soon be promoted to the inner sect!"

"If you dare to touch me again, my brother will definitely let you ah ah ah ah!!"

The next second, Zhang Hao's threat turned into a scream.

Because Ding Chen crushed his little finger: "Tell me, who sent you to mess with me?"
