Chapter 152 What does it matter to me if there are few people? I've only killed a few.
Yunxi Ping is where outer sect disciples live.
On the edge, there was a dilapidated little courtyard with only two rooms, and the courtyard was much smaller than the other courtyards!
This is where the brothers Bae Soo and Bae Yong rented their place.
After leaving the Hundred Beasts Garden, the two had nowhere to go, and coupled with losing three thousand contribution points to Chu Xuan, they were practically bankrupt.
Both of them were injured and unable to carry out missions, so they had to rent a place in this small courtyard!
Even this was achieved by borrowing contribution points from fellow disciples.
evening.
Pei Yong led the pale-faced Wang Xuan in. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two felt a powerful force erupt from Pei Xiu's room, sweeping over them like a hurricane.
Then, Pei Xiu's loud laughter came from inside the room.
"Haha, I, Pei Xiu, have finally reached the Gang Jin realm!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Yong's face lit up with joy, and he rushed into Pei Xiu's room.
Pei Xiu sat cross-legged, and a layer of pale golden, hazy energy slowly emerged from his body, like flowing light, yet with unparalleled sharpness.
The force transforms into a protective aura, emanating from within and forming a membrane of energy!
This is an obvious sign of breaking through the Gang Jin (罡劲) barrier.
"Brother, you've broken through to the Gang Jin realm! That's wonderful!" Pei Yong was overjoyed.
Wang Xuan followed behind and walked in, his expression complicated.
His strength was actually a notch above Pei Xiu's, and he was considered to be at the half-step Gang Jin level, but he still hadn't taken that step. Now that he had been crushed by Chu Xuan in one move, his spirit was damaged, making it even more difficult for him to break through.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Pei!" Wang Xuan forced a smile.
"Hey, Wang Xuan? Why aren't you in your No. 6 Beast Garden? What are you doing here in my little place?" Pei Xiu asked in surprise.
Wang Xuan said bitterly, "Now I'm no longer the manager of the Hundred Beasts Garden, just like Senior Brother Pei and the others."
He immediately recounted what had happened that day.
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
Just because he stood up for Tong Yuanzheng, he ended up becoming the target of Chu Xuan's attempt to establish his authority.
After being kicked out of the Hundred Beasts Garden by Chu Xuan, he wanted to ask Tong Yuanzheng for help, or at least to help him out, but he didn't even get to see Tong Yuanzheng. He was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder.
"So, I have no choice but to come and seek refuge with Senior Brother Pei and your group," Wang Xuan said with a bitter expression.
Pei Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, this Chu Xuan is too domineering! If we let him continue to grow stronger, we might never have a chance to rise again!"
Pei Xiu glanced at Pei Yong, then her gaze fell on Wang Xuan. After a moment, she said, "Wang Xuan, are you injured? Were you injured by Chu Xuan?"
Wang Xuan nodded with a wry smile.
Pei Xiu asked calmly, "Are you still confident you can break through to the Gang Jin realm?"
Wang Xuan remained silent upon hearing this, then shook his head after a moment: "I'm afraid the chances are slim!"
It wasn't that he was injured and therefore unable to break through to the Gang Jin realm; rather, it was that Chu Xuan's attack shattered his Dao heart!
The injuries on his body wouldn't be difficult to heal; Chu Xuan hadn't used his full strength. However, without that indomitable spirit, breaking through to the Gang Jin realm would be virtually impossible.
"What are your plans next?" Pei Xiu asked.
Wang Xuan said with a wry smile, "I can only muddle through for now and wait until I recover from my injuries."
Pei Xiu said quietly, "Do you want revenge?"
Wang Xuan was taken aback, then gave a bitter smile and said, "How is that possible? Chu Xuan is already at the Gang Jin level, and he's a favorite of Senior Brother Tong Hao. How could I possibly have a chance?"
Pei Xiu remained calm and said, "What if I had a way to help you break through to the Gang Jin realm?"
"What?"
Wang Xuan was taken aback, then seemed to realize something, and looked at Pei Xiu excitedly, "Senior Brother Pei, you—you really have a way?"
Pei Xiu said with a half-smile, "Aren't I the best example? However, this method is somewhat dangerous, so you should think carefully before deciding whether to try it!"
"I do!"
Without hesitation, Wang Xuan shouted, "Senior Brother Pei, as long as you have a way to help me break through to the Gang Jin realm, I'm willing to go through fire and water!"
"very good!"
Pei Xiu nodded and said, "You rest first, I'll take you to see someone tonight!"
late at night.
After leaving Yunxiping, the three headed straight for the Hundred Beasts Garden, but instead of entering it, they bypassed it and went directly into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
After traveling about four or five miles, the three stopped in front of an ancient tree that was thousands of years old.
"Brother, didn't you say you were taking us to see someone? Why did you stop?" Pei Yong asked in surprise.
Pei Xiu ignored him and instead took out a xun (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument). After blowing it, it immediately produced a strange bird call.
About an incense stick's time later, a figure wearing a blood-red cloak and a Shura mask suddenly descended from the sky and landed behind the three.
"The Blood God Cult?"
Upon seeing the man's attire, Pei Yong's expression changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Wang Xuan's face also turned deathly pale, but he did not utter a sound.
Actually, he had already vaguely guessed the other person's identity when Pei Xiu said she would take him to meet someone. Besides the Blood God Sect, that heretical sect, who else had the ability to help him break through to the Gang Jin realm?
Thinking about it is one thing, but seeing it is quite another.
The fact that the opponent could appear beside them silently without any fluctuation of energy was enough to demonstrate their strength!
True Essence Realm!
"Big brother, you—"
Pei Yong's voice trembled.
"Shut up!"
Pei Xiu gave a reprimand and quickly cupped his hands to the Asura man, saying, "Pei Xiu greets Protector Bai. My brother is ignorant; I hope Protector will not take offense!"
Dharma protector?
Both Wang Xuan and Pei Yong trembled.
Sure enough, this person is a True Essence Realm expert!
"Pei Xiu, you've broken through to the Gang Jin realm?"
The White Protector spoke in a hoarse voice, "Not bad, not bad! It seems you are very suitable for cultivating our sect's divine skills; you were born to serve our sect!"
"I must thank the Protector for bestowing upon me the Blood God Pill; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to break through so quickly," Pei Xiu said humbly.
The White Protector said in a detached voice, "Alright, enough with the nonsense. What brings you here?"
Pei Xiu hurriedly replied, "Protector Qi, I've found the person you asked me to investigate. There's no such person as Xu Fengchu in the Xuan Yang Sect; that's just an alias. His real name is Chu Xuan!"
"Chu Xuan? That outer disciple ranked twenty-seventh on the Wind and Cloud Ranking?" Protector Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
Pei Xiu nodded and said, "That's right, it was him! He was the one who went to Gaoliu City on Tong Hao's orders to carry out the mission of annihilating a family!"
In fact, he knew from their first meeting that the "Xu Fengchu" they were looking for was Chu Xuan!
However, at that time he was not sure whether the Blood God Pill given to him would be useful, so he naturally did not say it easily.
Now that he has broken through to the Gang Jin level and received the benefits, there is no need to hide it anymore.
"So it was him! I see!"
Protector Bai sneered repeatedly, "No wonder I've been searching for Xu Fengchu for so long without finding the right person. This person is indeed cautious."
Pei Xiu quickly introduced Wang Xuan and Pei Yong beside him, saying, "Guardian, these two are my younger brother Pei Yong and junior brother Wang Xuan. They have both long admired the Divine Sect and are willing to serve you, Guardian!"
Wang Xuan immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Wang Xuan greets the Protector. I am willing to join the Divine Sect and serve it through fire and water, even unto death!"
Pei Yong also knelt down on one knee: "Me too!"
Protector Bai's gaze swept over Wang Xuan, a half-smile playing on his lips. "You want the Blood God Pill to help you break through to the罡劲 (Gang Jin) realm, don't you?"
Wang Xuan didn't try to hide his feelings and nodded, saying, "Please grant my request, Protector!"
Protector Bai nodded, then tossed him a small porcelain bottle: "Logically speaking, one is not qualified to receive this elixir before making great contributions to the Divine Sect. However, I am currently in need of manpower, so I can give it to you first."
"Thank you so much, Protector!" Wang Xuan was overjoyed and his hands trembled as he accepted the pill.
Pei Yong watched longingly, his face full of envy.
Pei Xiu hurriedly said, "Guardian, my brother—"
"He's only at the Transformation Realm!" Protector Bai shook his head. "The Blood God Pill isn't a true divine pill; not just anyone can consume it. Giving it to him will only cause him to explode and die!"
Pei Yong immediately looked disappointed.
Protector Bai then took out another porcelain bottle and said, "Although you cannot take the Blood God Pill, since you are willing to serve the Divine Sect, you should still be given the benefits you deserve. Inside is a Blood Burning Pill. After taking it, you can forcibly condense your inner energy and briefly unleash its power. Of course, the price is also huge; you will have to stay in bed for at least a few months, or worse, be completely crippled."
Pei Yong was overjoyed when he received it and thanked him profusely.
"Next————"
Protector Bai said coldly, "You all keep a close eye on Chu Xuan. Inform me immediately the moment you spot him descending the mountain!"
"yes!"
All three nodded.
Pei Xiu mustered his courage and asked, "Guardian, are you going to—?"
Protector Bai said calmly, "An eye for an eye, of course! The Xuan Yang Sect used the Gao family to make an example of them, so let their talented disciple's life pay the price!"
Time flies like an arrow, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Chu Xuan hardly left the Hundred Beasts Garden, instead digesting the gains he received from the Qian family.
After searching for several days, he has basically figured out the medicinal herbs he obtained from the Qian family and their value.
With ample resources and the constant harvesting of essence from the Beast Garden, his progress was rapid, and he lived a comfortable life.
The only thing that bothered him was that recently, a strange wind had blown in from somewhere.
Many disciples at the Hundred Beasts Garden are spreading rumors that he is a jinx, saying that in less than a year since he came to the Hundred Beasts Garden, there are hardly any supervisors left; some have died, some have become useless, and almost the entire group has been replaced!
Now, his disciples avoid him whenever they see him.
Chu Xuan felt very aggrieved about this.
What does the manager of the Hundred Beasts Park have to do with me? I've only killed a few!
However, after careful calculation, he also felt a bit numb, as if—it really was related to him.
Zhao Mingyu, Zhang Sanyuan, Chen Liang, Qian Yao, Xie Lei —
He has personally killed at least five supervisors!
If we add Wang Xuan, whom he drove away, and the Pei brothers, that makes eight!
There are only thirteen managers in total at the zoo.
"This damn world!"
Chu Xuan cursed inwardly.
We can't kill anymore. If we keep killing, when Tong Hao comes back, we'll probably be left with no one to command.
Of course, these people also need to avoid provoking him.
"Senior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Liu Chengzhi is here."
At this moment, Zhang Cheng ran over to report to his superior.
"Please come in quickly!" Chu Xuan said.
Soon, Zhang Cheng brought Liu Chengzhi in.
"Junior Brother Chu, this is your letter. I was passing by the Qingcheng Guild Hall and brought it for you. I hope you won't blame me for overstepping my bounds." Liu Chengzhi handed a letter to Chu Xuan.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Liu."
After receiving the letter, Chu Xuan immediately opened it and read it. He breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that everything at home was alright.
After a moment, he put away the letter and asked curiously, "What brings Senior Brother Liu here this time?"
Liu Chengzhi's expression immediately turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "My uncle wants to see you!"
Chu Xuan's gaze sharpened instantly.
Liu Chengzhi's uncle is none other than Liu Donglin, the head of the Liu family, a master of the True Yuan Realm!
The strength I showed to the outside world was only at the initial stage of Gang Jin, which was insignificant in the eyes of the other party. Why would he want to see me?
Liu Chengzhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, it should be a good thing! But whether it will work out or not, we'll have to wait until he meets you to be sure."
"good!"
Chu Xuan nodded.
He had no right to refuse Liu Donglin's request to see him.
Of course, given his status as a disciple of the Xuan Yang Sect, Liu Donglin didn't dare to do anything to him.
The two immediately boarded Liu Chengzhi's carriage and headed straight for Wanbaolou in Lingxiao City.
the other side.
Not long after Chu Xuan left, Pei Yong excitedly ran back to the courtyard and told Pei Xiu and Wang Xuan the news.
"Brother, Senior Brother Wang, Chu Xuan has come down the mountain! Our chance has arrived!" Pei Yong exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fist.
After waiting for more than a month, thinking that Chu Xuan would continue to hide in the mountains, they finally saw Chu Xuan come down from the mountain.
-
"Great! This is fantastic! I've been waiting for this day for so long!"
Wang Xuan suddenly stood up, gritting his teeth and revealing murderous intent in his eyes.
His blood and qi surged, like a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching. His powerful aura churned like waves crashing on the shore, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
Clearly, he had already fully recovered from his injuries and successfully broken through to the Gang Jin level.
Pei Xiu slowly opened his eyes and sneered, "Chu Xuan ruined our future. This time, let him pay with his life! After absorbing his essence and blood, I should be able to reach the Lesser Completion of the罡劲 (Gang Jin) realm! A Yong, immediately notify Protector Bai! Wang Xuan and I will intercept him on the road—"
Chu Xuan rode in Liu Chengzhi's luxurious carriage all the way to Wanbaolou.
Upon entering the VIP room, a middle-aged man was already seated there.
"Junior Brother Chu, this is my uncle!" Liu Chengzhi quickly introduced.
"Greetings, Patriarch Liu!"
Chu Xuan quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
-
Liu Donglin chuckled and said, "No need to be so polite! Speaking of which, you and I are practically from the same sect, so calling you 'Master Uncle' shouldn't be too much of a burden for you, right?"
Liu Donglin was once a disciple of the Xuan Yang Sect, but due to his limited talent, he had no chance of advancing to the Core Formation stage, which is why he left the Xuan Yang Sect to take over the Liu family's affairs.
Chu Xuan quickly changed his address, saying, "Greetings, Uncle Liu."
"Ha ha----"
Liu Donglin laughed heartily and said, "Nephew, you're too kind! I know the basics about your situation. As for why I called you here, I'm sure you can guess! I only have one question for you: have you mastered the Four Harmonies True Qi?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Chengzhi also stared at Chu Xuan.
Although the Four Harmonies True Qi is only a simplified version of the Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Qi, it is still a top-level Qi cultivation technique!
Its difficulty in cultivation far surpasses that of other internal energy cultivation methods.
Rumor has it that if one cultivates the Four Harmonies True Qi to perfection, there is even a slight chance of being able to cultivate the Prison Suppressing Qi!
If Chu Xuan were to master the Four Harmonies True Qi, his ranking on the Wind and Cloud Ranking would rise even further, and he would definitely be able to break into the top twenty!
Chu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then didn't answer. Instead, he flipped his hand, and instantly a pale golden sphere of qi gathered in his palm.
