“Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can leave,” FengXiupu said, nodding, and returned to his room.
“Little Junior Brother, focus on your learning. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me anytime. Even if you don’t have any problems, you’re welcome to visit me,” Guo Linshan said with a simple and honest smile. He patted Chen Fei’s shoulder firmly and turned to leave.
Chen Fei cupped his hands and planned to return to his place. According to the time, Chi Defeng should have arrived by now, so he could go and receive them. “Junior brother, over here, I’m over here,” a voice called out as Chen Fei walked out. He turned around to see Luo Jun.
“Senior Brother Luo,” Chen Fei said, looking at Luo Jun, who was hiding in the tree crown, with a puzzled expression.
“Just now, did Master ask you to seek Eldest Senior Brother’s help if you encounter any difficulties in cultivation?” Luo Jun jumped down from the tree, looked around, and asked with a smile.
Chen Fei nodded, not understanding what Luo Jun was implying.
“I was in the same situation before. Remember to bring something with you when you visit Eldest Senior Brother. No one told me about it back then, and I was ostracised by everyone for a long time. It was really uncomfortable,” Luo Jun said mysteriously.
…..
Chen Fei’s eyebrows twitched slightly. A gift? Would he be shunned by everyone if he didn’t bring one?
“How much is required?” Chen Fei asked curiously.
“The minimum is 100 taels. If it’s less than that, Eldest Senior Brother will tell you that we’re all fellow disciples, and giving it to him would only drag him into trouble,” Luo Jun replied, sounding pained.
Chen Fei narrowed his eyes. A greeting gift of a hundred taels? Does this mean he would have to pay a fee every time he seeks guidance on cultivation techniques in the future?
“Does Master know about this?” Chen Fei asked in a low voice.
“I’m not sure if Master is aware of this. When I gave it to Eldest Senior Brother, he initially refused for a long time before reluctantly accepting it, saying he would keep it for me,” Luo Jun replied, giving Chen Fei a knowing look.
Chen Fei’s eye twitched slightly. The term “safeguard” was quite fitting.
Luo Jun winked at Chen Fei and said, “Don’t tell anyone that I told you. I’ll leave now. Let’s go to the Drunken Red Pavilion together next time.”
Chen Fei watched as Luo Jun left. He stood there, pondering for a moment, before going to receive Chi Defeng.
After handing over the medicinal pills and herbs, Chen Fei inquired about the situation at the stall. Fortunately, there had been no one following Chi Defeng recently.
“Recently, there have been a few more stalls selling medicinal pills on that street. I went to take a look. The pills sold are quite varied, but their quality is decent,” Chen Fei remarked.
“That works in our favor,” Chen Fei couldn’t help but smile.
If there were too many people selling medicinal pills, it could be detrimental to their business. It might even affect the prices of medicinal pills. However, Chen Fei hoped that more stalls would appear, as it would decrease the chances of Chi Defeng being noticed.
Moreover, the Light Spirit Pills that Chen Fei refined had reached its peak in terms of appearance and medicinal effects. Once someone purchased them, they would be able to recognize the quality.
As a result, the medicinal pills Chen Fei produced each day could still be sold smoothly.
After seeing off Chi Defeng, Chen Fei spent six hours refining pills. Most of them were Light Spirit Pills, and some were Eternal Floating Pills, which Chen Fei mainly consumed himself.
Chen Fei walked out of the house and looked at the sky. After hesitating for a moment, he headed towards Guo Linshan’s residence.
As a new disciple, Guo Linshan had a much better living environment than Chen Fei. Guo Linshan was a little surprised to see Chen Fei, but he warmly invited him into the house.
Two hours later, Guo Linshan saw Chen Fei off.
“Little Junior Brother, your understanding is truly extraordinary. Those difficult points are impossible to grasp unless you have been cultivating the Origin Connection Technique for a long time,” Guo Linshan said, looking at Chen Fei with amazement. However, he also expressed some concern, saying, “But your current cultivation level is still low. You’ve just entered the Bone Tempering realm. You need to work harder to break through to the Marrow Tempering realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, your future cultivation will become even more challenging.”
“Thank you for your advice,” Chen Fei replied, cupping his hands. “Senior Brother, please wait. There’s no need to send me off.”
“Oh, by the way, there’s a mission in the sect a few days from now, and it happens to be in our area. Although you’re new, you’ll have to come with us, Junior Brother. Hl explain the details when I have the time,” Guo Linshan suddenly mentioned.
“A mission?” Chen Fei was taken aback but nodded in agreement.
“Take care, Junior Brother,” Guo Linshan said with a smile.
Chen Fei waved his hand and walked back to his house.
He hadn’t brought any gifts or made things difficult for Guo Linshan, yet he had answered all the questions he had. Chen Fei even tried to mention offering some local specialties, but Guo Linshan’s expression changed instantly. This man was not someone to be trifled with.
“What does Luo Jun want? Does he want me to be beaten up by Senior Brother Guo?” Chen Fei thought of Luo Jun’s words in the morning and furrowed his brows. If he were to force a gift, he might genuinely be expelled by Guo Linshan.
Chen Fei decided to confront Luo Jun tonight. Such behavior was unacceptable.
Night fell.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
“Who is it? It’s so late,” came Luo Jun’s impatient voice. He opened the door, and before he could see who it was, a black shadow attacked his face.
Luo Jun’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively blocked the attack. However, the black shadow seemed to anticipate his move and slightly adjusted its attack, dodging his arm.
“Bang!”
Luo Jun felt a sharp pain on his cheek and involuntarily fell backward. Before he could get up, a sack fell from the sky and covered him.
At the same time, Luo Jun heard the sound of his door being forcefully shut. Panic surged within Luo Jun. Was someone trying to kill him?
“Who is it? Who dares to harm someone in the Primordial Sword Sect? Do you want to die?” Luo Jun shouted loudly, attempting to tear the sack apart with his arms. However, in the next moment, a barrage of attacks rained down on him.
Luo Jun couldn’t react in time, and he was mercilessly struck repeatedly.
“Don’t hit me! Stop! I haven’t offended anyone. Stop attacking!” Initially, Luo Jun shouted defiantly, but soon he began screaming in pain. The assailant specifically targeted his head and face, causing excruciating pain that made Luo Jun beg for mercy.
Luo Jun’s cries gradually subsided as he was continuously pummeled, rendering him unable to muster the strength to shout. He was beaten until he fainted multiple times, only to wake up in agony.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Jun slowly regained consciousness. He instinctively recoiled, realizing that the beating had ceased.
Luo Jun’s body ached all over as he removed the sack covering him, revealing a face so disfigured that only his mother could recognize him.
“Who… Who did this? You’re going too far!” Luo Jun sat on the ground, tears streaming from his eyes. The tears flowed over his wounds, causing him unbearable pain. His facial features were distorted from the swelling.
It hurt so much..
