Jiang Zheng walked out of the cave before the sun rose. "Go and have a look, after all he is in charge" Jiang Zheng stretched his muscles and felt that he had vaguely touched the threshold of foundation building. "Practicing in a place with rich spiritual energy will achieve twice the result with half the effort. It would be even better if there were some spiritual stones." Jiang Zheng knew that the closer the cave was to the top of the mountain, the more abundant the spiritual energy was. Next, he planned to find a way to be promoted to an outer disciple and then continue to climb up. He has a deep understanding of the importance of status. After his cultivation and status are improved, he will eliminate those in the sect who make him unhappy. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If you make too many enemies, you may die one day. If I could become an elder, why would I have so many worries? Whenever he thought of the humiliation of being suppressed by Liu Wenhua, he could not sleep or eat.
Lingxi Square. Lingxi Square is located on the top of Lingxi Mountain. It covers a vast area and is surrounded by natural stands formed by huge rocks. And on one side, there are many gorgeous white jade buildings. Normally no one cleans it, so it is filled with dead leaves. Whenever something big happens in the sect, disciples will be gathered here. At this time, the dirty and tiring work of cleaning the square fell on the chores of the disciples. After the dead leaves that had been squeezed for a long time were cleared away, the white jade bricks and stones underneath were revealed. From a distance, it looks like snow. The chores disciples finally had some free time and gathered together to rest and chat. "I didn't sleep all night and finally finished it, but I'm so tired" "The hunting competition has nothing to do with us menial disciples, but we have to do all the dirty work. It's really unfair." "Say less. Even though it's a bit depressing in the mountains, it's better than going home and farming, right?" "Don't you know? We, the menial disciples, must also be present at this morning's meeting!" "Is this true? What happened this year? In previous years, we didn't even qualify to participate in the conference..." “…” Wang Zhengfeng sat aside, listening to everyone complaining, without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a stream of light falling towards the square. He quickly stood up and went to greet him. The other errand disciples also shut their mouths and stood up tiredly. "Master Steward!" Wang Zhengfeng bowed and said respectfully.
"Are you done cleaning?" Jiang Zheng jumped off the flying sword. "Yes, all cleaned up." Jiang Zheng looked around the huge Lingxi Square and nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed cleaned very well. “Good job everyone.” “It’s what we should do” Wang Zhengfeng looked a little tired. Although he had already entered the first level of Qi training, he was still a little exhausted from working all night. Not to mention those ordinary servants who have no cultivation. Jiang Zheng did not respond, but paced around Lingxi Square with his hands behind his back. Wang Zhengfeng followed behind him with his head lowered. The sun rose slowly from the horizon, dispelling the endless darkness and spreading morning glow on the horizon. Jiang Zheng slowly came to the edge of Lingxi Square and admired the beautiful sunrise. "Wang Zhengfeng," he suddenly spoke. "grown ups" "How can a menial disciple be promoted to an outer disciple?" He asked in a calm tone, as if asking casually. "Sir, do you want to be promoted to an outer disciple?" Wang Zhengfeng's eyes lit up. As the saying goes: When one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. If Jiang Zheng can improve the status of the sect, he and his group of menial disciples will feel more confident. "How to be promoted to an outer disciple?" Jiang Zheng saw through his thoughts and did not say much, but just repeated the question. Wang Zhengfeng quickly replied: "Sir, it's very simple, you just need to openly challenge the outer disciples." "Is it that simple?" Jiang Zheng thought it was very complicated, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and violent. Does that count if he beat Liu Wenhao? "This... is too simple," Wang Zhengfeng smiled bitterly. Such rules have always existed, but no one has ever done it. The gap between menial disciples and outer disciples is like a chasm, which is determined from the moment an animal is born. "What about the inner disciples?" Jiang Zheng asked again. “Same here.” "What about the elders?" "This... is still the same" The more Wang Zhengfeng listened, the more shocked he became. The ambition of this young man in front of him was far beyond his imagination. "Where is the headmaster?" After hearing this, Wang Zhengfeng's eyes widened, as if he was frightened, and his voice trembled a little.
"Master? I don't know." "It's okay, just asking casually," Jiang Zheng chuckled and patted his shoulder. "After a night of hard work, everyone is tired. Let's go back and practice. No one will have to work for the outer disciples today." “Is this... feasible? What if those outer disciples..." Wang Zhengfeng looked embarrassed. "If anyone is unhappy, let him come to me" These words were spoken lightly, but contained immense confidence. After saying them, Jiang Zheng turned and left. "Thank you, sir, but this year's sect's hunting meeting requires all disciples to be present, so you may have to go as well." "I see. I understand." Jiang Zheng walked to a corner without looking back, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to rest. The other errand disciples noticed him and watched from time to time. After an unknown amount of time, some outer disciples arrived in groups of two or three, stepping on flying swords and landing in the square. Afterwards, more and more menial disciples were pushed aside. An outer disciple noticed Jiang Zheng in the corner and wanted to step forward to drive him away. "Hey, that errand disciple, you..." His companion beside him grabbed him and lowered his voice. "You're not going to die! How dare you mess with that ruthless guy?" "What kind of ruthless person? He's just a errand disciple." At this time, Jiang Zheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two of them. His companion noticed his gaze and quickly pulled him aside. He glanced at Jiang Zheng cautiously and said with relief: "Don't mess with that ruthless man. Don't be fooled by his grey robe. He is the manager of the errand boys. Last night, Liu Wenhao killed several errand boys. That ruthless man came straight to Liu Wenhao's door with a sword in hand, and almost killed him with a single blow! " “So cruel?!” The outer sect disciples were shocked. “Liu Wenhao is at the eighth level of Qi Refining, the best in the outer sect. And he almost got chopped off by him?” "What do you think? Hurry up and leave. Be careful not to piss him off. If he chops you, no one will protect you..." Seeing the two of them running away, Jiang Zheng ignored them and continued to close his eyes and rest. This is the advantage of being powerful. Anyone who wants to bully him has to consider the sword in his hand. If he hadn't made a name for himself last night, he would have been in trouble today. There were very few young men like him, and most of the outer disciples recognized him and consciously avoided him like the plague. Seeing this, Jiang Zheng finally understood that after what happened last night, he had become completely famous.
The sun is at noon. Almost all the outer disciples gathered in the square, and Jiang Zheng even saw a familiar face. Suddenly, he looked up. A figure floated over from a distance, his white robe fluttering in the wind, with a golden pattern embroidered on it. Unlike other outer disciples, he did not come on a flying sword. "Foundation building... could he be an inner sect disciple?" Jiang Zheng narrowed his eyes and felt threatened by the other party. He could feel that this person's cultivation was much stronger than his, but much weaker than those elders. "Senior Brother Feng!" It was obvious that this person had a very high status, and all the disciples greeted him respectfully. Feng Yangzi smiled and nodded. He noticed Jiang Zheng's gaze, turned around to look at him, and let out a light exclamation. Then he thought of something, seemed to understand, and then stood in front of everyone. After a while, the remaining inner disciples arrived late, and Jiang Zheng paid special attention to them. There are eight people in total, two of them are at the foundation building stage including Feng Yangzi, and the rest are at the ninth level of Qi Refining. It is worth mentioning that the other foundation-building person is a woman wearing a blue long dress, and her status seems to be more noble than Feng Yangzi. But Jiang Zheng was a little disappointed, he didn't find Lin Muxi. And for some reason, the loss in his heart was much more intense than he had imagined, even to the point of being somewhat depressing. "Strange... Why do I want to see her so much? I wonder how she is doing now? Is she being bullied..." Jiang Zheng made up his mind to find time to meet Lin Muxi. "quiet!" A loud shout spread across the square. Everyone quieted down. A golden stream of light, carrying several figures, flew from a distance and landed on the high platform in front of the square. "Meet the Master!" All the disciples, including the servants and inner disciples, bowed respectfully, and Jiang Zheng also stood up. "No need to be polite!" A majestic voice spread throughout the square, and the leader spoke. "Today, the hunting competition is about to be held. The envoy of the upper sect has arrived. It is a blessing for Lingxi Sect. All disciples will witness it together!"
"The rules of this year's hunting competition have been changed. All inner disciples can participate!" "Who has any objection?!" The leader glanced at everyone. "Master, I have a suggestion," Luke Dong came out. "Oh? Elder Lu, please feel free to tell us if you have any objections," the head of the sect readily agreed. "Where is Jiang Zheng?!" Luke Dong loudly asked to the audience. Jiang Zheng raised his head: "?!" "Is Jiang Zheng here?!" Hearing this, Jiang Zheng did not delay. He flew out of the crowd and landed in the front.
