"Since the owner of the cave is dead and even his body is gone, then this cave... Hiss... taking someone's life and seizing their cave, this... is a bit evil..." Jiang Zheng took a deep breath and was shocked by his own thoughts. "I'm telling you, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Anyway, this cave has no owner. You are just here to practice. Do you really think you are a robber?" Kong Qing couldn't bear to watch it anymore and cursed helplessly. "this……" Jiang Zheng unconsciously walked to the cushion where Liu Hailong lay before his death and sat down cross-legged. "It's so comfortable, no wonder he sits on it every day" It was still early, so Jiang Zheng decided to use the rich spiritual energy here to practice and return to his residence at noon. He took out the [Red Dragon Art], which had two levels. With his ninth level of Qi Refining, he had already perfected the first level.
The power of the red dragon mentioned above is indeed exaggerated. He only cultivated a phantom of a small snake, but it is useful and much stronger than some small spells. The next step is to absorb spiritual energy and thoroughly consolidate the ninth level of Qi Refining, and then you can impact the foundation-building stage. "Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream. I have only been on the mountain for a few days, and I have already become a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining. If I can go one step further, I can be on par with the elders..." Jiang Zheng felt the power in his body that he could use at will, and it seemed a little unrealistic, as if he was dreaming. But he knew that these powers were not gained for nothing, and he had paid the corresponding price. After clearing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Jiang Zheng calmed down and began to practice. Around noon, Jiang Zheng opened his eyes, and the faint spiritual energy around him slowly dissipated. "With a mid-grade spiritual root, the speed of absorbing and refining spiritual energy is obviously much faster. This spiritual root aptitude is really extremely important. No wonder everyone hopes to be born with a good spiritual root..." Feeling that his cultivation in the ninth level of Qi Refining had been consolidated a little, Jiang Zheng raised his hand and emitted a ray of spiritual light. The stone door slowly opened and light from the outside world came in. He stood up and walked out of the cave, and once again shot a ray of light at the stone door, which slammed shut. Jiang Zheng carefully put away Liu Hailong's ID card. Without this, you won’t be able to get in next time. On the way down the mountain, they happened to meet Tiezhu, and the two of them returned to their residence together with some menial disciples who were also going down the mountain. "Tiezhu, don't bring me food today. I've already eaten," Jiang Zheng said with a smile as he walked towards his residence. "Okay..." Tie Zhu touched his head in confusion. It was just a bowl of meat, wasn't it? What was there to be embarrassed about? He just thought Jiang Zheng was embarrassed and decided to send a bowl of meat over. But how could he know that Jiang Zheng, who had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, no longer needed to eat. Jiang Zheng walked to the door and was about to push it open when his pupils suddenly shrank as he keenly sensed something. “There’s someone inside!” The raised hand stopped in mid-air. He could clearly feel that there was someone inside, and it was a powerful cultivator, who was releasing his aura without any concealment. "Come in when you come back"
Just as Jiang Zheng was hesitating, a powerful voice sounded in the room. After hesitating for a moment, he pushed the door open and walked in. Sure enough, there was a figure with his back to him, leisurely sipping tea. From the back, we can see that this person has white hair, wears a purple robe, and is surrounded by exquisite golden flowing cloud embroidery. "How did Xiao Yuxuan die?" The other party took a sip of tea and spoke calmly. Hearing this, Jiang Zheng's body shook, and a flash of light appeared on his left hand behind his back, and the fragment of the Thunder Dao Treasure was held in his hand. Then he took a deep breath, stepped over the threshold, and said calmly: "Disciple greets the elder." Jiang Zheng could recognize the other person's identity just by the voice and the clothes he was wearing. He was the elder of the Contribution Hall, Luke Dong. He had already heard this information a long time ago. "Oh? It seems you still remember Ben..." Luke Dong turned around, just glanced at Jiang Zheng briefly, and his voice suddenly stopped. "Ninth level of Qi Refining! How is this possible?!" He seemed to have seen something incredible, and his brows were instantly furrowed. He was extremely shocked. This errand disciple in front of him had clearly no cultivation at all in the past few days, but now he had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining in just a few days. This was unheard of and simply horrifying! There are only two possibilities: one, he has been hiding his cultivation level. Two, he has cultivated all the way to the ninth level of Qi Refining in a few days. But the second possibility is simply impossible. But if it is the first possibility, it doesn't make sense either. If the other party really has a way to hide his cultivation, why would he expose it when he has hidden it so well? Luke Dong was in a state of confusion, but couldn't figure it out. "I wonder what instructions the elder has for me?" Jiang Zheng bowed and spoke in a calm voice. "Oh, you have the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining but you are willing to be a menial disciple? You are hiding it very well," Luke Dong sneered. "It seems that there is no rule in the sect that Qi Refining Level 9 cannot be a menial disciple." With the trump card in hand, Jiang Zheng spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. Even if the other party turned hostile, he had a way to deal with it. Although he couldn't see the other party's cultivation level clearly, he thought it would not be higher than the foundation building stage. "It's already come to this point, there's no need to pretend anymore, right?" Luke Dong stood up and walked in front of Jiang Zheng, narrowing his eyes. "What do you mean, elder? I don't understand." Jiang Zheng lowered his head, a gleam of light in his eyes. "Don't understand? Look up and look at this elder," Luke Dong ordered. Jiang Zheng raised his head and looked straight into his eyes, his heart in his throat. Although he had a trump card, if the other party really showed his hostility at this time, his situation would be very bad. "How did Xiao Yuxuan die?" Luke Dong stared at Jiang Zheng's eyes and raised his voice suddenly: "You killed him!" Jiang Zheng was startled. Even though he hid well, he was still exposed by the sudden roar. "Heh..." Luke Dong got the answer he wanted from Jiang Zheng's eyes and revealed a triumphant smile. "Don't think that what you do is perfect. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it."
"How can the elders frame the disciples without evidence? There are so many menial disciples outside..." The conversation stopped here. Jiang Zheng's voice was low and threatening. At the same time, he was also betting that the other party would not attack him in front of everyone without evidence. It doesn’t matter even if he loses the bet. He has a trump card in his hand that can compete with the Foundation Establishment cultivator. He... can afford the bet! "Hehe, are you threatening this elder?" Luke Dong narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous light flashed in his pupils, like a beast choosing its prey. "I dare not, but Elder, you cannot frame me." Jiang Zheng did not give in at all in terms of momentum, not only because he held the trump card, but also because it was the only way to make the opponent afraid to act rashly. If you show weakness now, the other party might make up his mind to tear you to pieces in the next second! "So what if there is no evidence? You are just a mere errand disciple. I have ten thousand ways to kill you!" Luke Dong's tone was fierce, but he was obviously a little cautious. It was obvious that Jiang Zheng's tough attitude had worked. "Since the elder has no evidence, then..." Jiang Zheng paused, turned sideways and pointed his hand out to the door, and said respectfully and calmly: "Slow Walk" Jiang Zheng emphasized these two words, and the meaning was very clear: he wanted to see the guest off! "You are looking for death! Wait and see what happens to this elder!" A mere errand disciple actually dared to drive him away! Lu Kedong was so angry that his liver and lungs exploded and his teeth broke. Under the suppression of reason, he resisted the urge to attack, glared at Jiang Zheng fiercely, and walked away. "Sure enough, my bet was right, huh..." Jiang Zheng looked at Luke Dong's departing back and let out a long sigh, but he still couldn't let go of the worry in his heart. Although the other party has no reason to attack me this time due to the number of people, I am sure they will not let me go so easily. "It seems that I have to be more careful in the future. I have to improve my cultivation to the foundation-building stage as soon as possible. By then... it's uncertain who will eat whom!"
