Chen Xuanyi walked out of the courtyard and closed the door.
With a rustling sound, Chen Xuanyi sneaked back again. Who said that only old ladies were allowed to lie against the wall? Head Chen's ability was not to be underestimated.
Sure enough, after a while, he heard a series of murmurs coming from the room. However, with the small courtyard and two walls separating them, Chen Xuanyi could not hear what was being said inside.
"As expected, you're up to no good sneaking around.”
Chen Xuanyi had a knowing smile on his face. Did you think that no one would know about your little scheme? I'm just too lazy to care. Aren't every move of the entire sect under my control? Taixuan Sect has no secrets to me!!!
……
With his hands behind his back and groaning, he could not help but feel a little better.
Chen Xuanyi walked through the uninhabited pavilions and reached the foot of a mountain. What greeted his eyes was a green herbal field. This was an important source of income for the Sect of Supreme Mystery. Looking at the many herbs growing happily, Chen Xuanyi could not help but feel very happy.
He touched the heavy spirit rice with his left hand and sniffed the spirit ginseng that had already bloomed into a small red flower. These were all his family's assets.
Chen Xuanyi opened his mouth wide and walked toward the field.
This ling field was close to a hundred mu. There were ling rice that was often eaten, medicinal herbs used for alchemy, and rare spirit herbs that were used to exchange for spirit stones. It was all managed by Chen Yantang, the fourth disciple of Taixuan Sect.
In Taixuan Sect, the person Chen Xuanyi was most at ease with was Chen Yantang. Such a large spiritual field was handed over to him, the fourth disciple, to manage alone. He never complained. Instead, he worked hard and provided the sect with a small amount of financial resources. In the future, when he disbanded Taixuan Sect, he had to bring this person along. This was mainly because Chen Yantang was deeply favored by him. Of course, it was definitely not because Chen Xuanyi wanted to bring along a free and obedient labor force!!!
When Chen Xuan thought of this, a smile spread from the corner of his eyes.
However, not long after he was happy, Chen Xuan was like a rooster whose throat had been pinched. He could not laugh anymore. He saw that the most precious medicinal herb land in the middle of the spiritual field was trampled to the east and west. The spiritual herbs in the field were trampled to the side and in a mess.
The golden spiritual rice with huge ears was trampled on the ground, and the spiritual herbs used for alchemy were scattered all over the place. The bloody scene in front of Chen Xuanyi made him feel like a Buddha had left his body, and two Buddhas had ascended to heaven. Smoke came out of his seven orifices.
"Who is it? Who did it?"
A loud roar circled in the air, and a flock of wild birds was startled in the dense forest not far away.
Who was so heartless as to dare to cut off the path of labor and wealth? He must be irreconcilable with this thief!!!
Not long after the roar rang out, a figure quickly rushed to Chen Xuanyi at the edge of the spirit field and bowed respectfully." Greetings, Master. Master is blessed and safe."”
This was a young man who was about the same age as Chen Xuanyi. He had a calm expression and a slender figure. Under the scorching sun, the man's appearance was like a spring breeze.
Looking at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him, Chen Xuanyi slightly suppressed the anger in his heart. This was his fourth disciple. Unlike the previous three disciples that his master had forced on him, this Chen Yantang was the first disciple that Chen Xuanyi had taken on on his own accord. Three years ago, Chen Xuanyi had seen Chen Yantang enjoying the shade on a small path not far from the sect. He had inadvertently used two spells, shocking Chen Yantang into saying that he had met an immortal. In the end, Chen Xuanyi had reluctantly accepted this disciple under Chen Yantang's pleading. Looking at the disciple he had accepted, Chen Xuanyi nodded his head in satisfaction. There was finally a successor to the sect's farming and weeding work…
Chen Xuanyi's expression was grim as he pointed at a damaged spirit field." Yantang, what happened here?”
Chen Yantang shook his head with a bitter smile." This morning, Second Senior Sister rushed in on Grandpa Hei in order to train her body. That's how it ended.”After saying that, he felt as if he was being accused behind his back. He immediately said,"Master, there's no need to be anxious. Most of the spiritual herbs and spiritual medicines that were trampled on can be saved.”
"No hurry, I'm not in a hurry at all!”
Chen Xuanyi gritted his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds. How could these fallen spiritual herbs be spiritual herbs? These were clearly spirit stones.
"Where is she now?”
Chen Xuanyi decided to teach this wild girl a lesson today. He wanted her to know who was the king in Taixuan Sect.
Even the Heavenly Dao can't keep her, I, Chen Xuanyi, said it!!!
A strange look appeared in Chen Yantang's eyes. Everyone in Taixuan Sect knew about his master's cultivation. If it wasn't for his eldest senior brother Ping 'an's recent obsession with practicing the sword, which caused his cultivation to stagnate, his master's cultivation would have been at the bottom. It seemed like he was going to teach his second senior sister a lesson now. It was a bit of a fool's dream…
He pointed at the dense forest in the mountain opposite him." Second Senior Sister is riding on Chief Hei. She said that she wants to go up the mountain to temper her body and search for the wildness in her bones. Otherwise, seeing that Second Senior Sister had made an unintentional mistake, Master would let it go this time.”
"Impossible."
After saying that, she turned around resolutely and wanted to go to the dense forest on the mountain to teach this lawless girl a lesson.
However, he had only taken a few steps.
Boom!
With a deafening sound, a mushroom cloud rose from the dense forest on the opposite mountain. Birds flew in all directions, and animals fled.
"Hmm?"
Chen Xuanyi stomped his feet. Was someone planting a bomb in the forest?
Chen Yantang pondered for a moment and said,"Second Senior Sister has been practicing her body recently. Perhaps she's having fun in the forest with her real body again." He paused and continued,""Master, it seems that Second Senior Sister is indeed in the forest opposite. You should be able to meet her if you go now.”
Meeting her? Why did he touch her? Did I say I was going to look for her?
Chen Xuanyi glanced at Chen Yantang from the corner of his eyes. You really have no eyes. In the future, when the sect is disbanded, you will become a servant disciple from my personal disciple!!
"Master." Chen Yantang looked at Chen Xuanyi, who was slightly stunned, and asked softly,""Isn't Second Senior Sister just an ordinary Fire Plume Bird? How could he cause such a huge commotion?”
Chen Xuanyi snorted." Don't ask, you don't know!"
Chen Xuanyi was also puzzled. What was the background of this ordinary Fire-feathered Bird that his cheap master had brought back and forced him to keep as his disciple? The fact that the Fire-feathered Bird's body refinement was able to produce such a powerful might truly shocked and surprised him.
Just as Chen Xuanyi was about to leave, Chen Yantang said slowly," Master, why don't we spare Second Senior Sister this time? We didn't lose much anyway. In the future, let Second Senior Sister catch a few more spirit beasts on the mountain, and we can make up for our losses…"
Hearing Chen Yantang's words, Chen Xuanyi retracted his leg that was about to take a step forward. Hmm, at least you're smart. You can become an outer sect disciple from a servant disciple. Anyway, you'll be doing all the dirty work alone!!
"Ahem."
Chen Xuanyi cleared his throat and raised his head, his chin facing the sky." Since you're the one who's pleading on her behalf, we'll do this. Remember to make her capture a few more spirit beasts, or else we won't let her off easily."”
As he spoke, he turned around and faced Chen Yantang. He stretched out his hand and pinched his trembling thigh. Fortunately, he did not rush over. Otherwise, his dignity as a Sect Master would be ruined. That would be worse than death.
Humph, I can't deal with this wild girl, but I can deal with a donkey. What black chief? It's just a broken old donkey with missing teeth. I heard that roasted donkey meat is very delicious. I haven't eaten it for a long time…
Chen Yantang, who was cleaning up the spiritual herbs in the field, was pleased. He had good taste. He saw what his master had brought back to the sect other than himself.
The eldest disciple, Ping An, sat on the cliff at the back of the mountain with a broken piece of iron in his arms all day long.
The second disciple, Feng Qiujiu, rode an old black donkey everywhere.
The third disciple Nan Xiang dressed up all day like a demon, or hid in the room and did not see anyone.
The fellow he brought back was still more pleasing to the eye. He could also help share some of the sect's daily necessities.
Chen Xuanyi was filled with a sense of accomplishment that his son could help his father share the burden of the family!!!
Why not let Ping 'an, that silly child, fall off the cliff and make Chen Yantang his disciple?
No, no, Chen Xuanyi quickly suppressed this dangerous thought in his heart. If this guy was promoted to the eldest disciple, he would no longer work hard like before. Where would he be able to reason with him? It was better to let this good child be the fourth child.
Chen Xuanyi smacked his lips as he looked at Chen Yantang, who was flaunting his youth under the sun." Yantang, ever since you came to the sect, you've been taking care of the sect's work. Do you really not have any complaints?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that something was wrong. Chen Xuanyi quickly said,"You don't have to worry. Even if you complain to me today, it's fine. I definitely won't take revenge afterwards.”
Seeing the sincerity on Chen Xuanyi's face, Chen Yantang was slightly stunned. For some reason, he felt a chill. "Master, where do you get the complaints from? Isn't this what disciples should do?"
Unknowingly, Chen Xuanyi's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness." I used to live a life where everything was handed to me. As long as I wanted something, I could get it with just a command. However, there was one thing that I had never experienced before, and that was the human world.”
Chen Xuanyi looked at the disciple in front of him in a daze. He was familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Shut up, shameless thief, are you playing Versailles with your master? The days you despise are exactly what I yearn for…
Chen Yantang paused and raised his head. A trace of warmth flashed in his clear eyes." Although Eldest Senior Brother ignores me, Second Senior Sister often makes trouble for me, Third Senior Sister often flirts with me, and even Chief Hei often comes to eat the spiritual herbs I grow, I can feel a fiery aura that I haven't had for decades. I really have no complaints!!!”
When Chen Xuan heard this, his heart was greatly shaken!!!
What was that? That old black donkey actually dared to eat my spirit grass. It seems that tonight's donkey meat fire must be done!
Chen Yantang continued," Although I wake up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, work more than a cow, and eat the same as everyone else, I'm still willing to stay in the sect and give everything to the sect.”
"Listen, listen, this is a good young man of our sect, a good disciple of mine.”
Hearing Chen Yantang's words, Chen Xuanyi was deeply moved. He decided to break the precepts today and step into the ling fields again after so many years. He wanted to help his fourth disciple tidy up the trampled spirit herbs.
Chen Xuanyi bent down and picked up two stalks of spirit rice that had obviously been stepped on by a donkey's hoof. His heart ached. These were sparkling spirit stones…
"Yantang, have you eaten donkey meat before?”
"Donkey meat on fire?"
Chen Yantang was confused.
"Forget it. If you don't know, then forget it." Pausing for a moment, Chen Xuanyi continued," From today onwards, there's no need to give out your Second Senior Sister's pills. You can recover them when you've made up for the losses."”
Chen Xuanyi stood up and clapped his hands together. Today, he had helped his disciple tidy up the herbal field. Although he had only helped to lift up two stalks of spiritual rice that had been stepped on, he had still helped tidy up. Helping people makes people happy. My old friend didn't lie to me. Today is really a happy day.
"Yes, Master." Chen Yantang did not stop working.
"Alright, you can take your time to tidy up. I'll go back and cultivate first.”
Chen Xuanyi shook his clothes and turned to walk towards the door.
However, at this moment, a loud roar echoed through the entire Taixuan Sect.
