Chapter 1: When the father suffers humiliation, the son will surely avenge him

  On this day, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, a faint layer of fluorescence flashed across his face, his eyes were calm and the whole person had several more stable temperament.

  "After reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining, continuing to consume medicinal pellets will only yield extremely limited progress. It seems that I've already reached my limit. Next, I'll be preparing for Foundation Establishment." Xiao Chen's face revealed a hint of excitement. Who would have thought that the kid who originally didn't have any spiritual roots could actually cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Refining in just over half a year?

  "Build the foundation!" A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes.

  Half a day later, Xiao Chen left the Medicine Garden once again and headed towards the Spiritual Medicine Valley. Although he had extremely heaven-defying alchemy skills, without any samples it was impossible to concoct anything with empty hands, and the several storage bags he obtained didn't have even one Foundation Establishment Pill, which made Xiao Chen feel slightly depressed. Therefore, his purpose for this trip was to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill; at the very least, he had to figure out its medicinal properties combination method.

  Lingyao Valley, as the only place in Luoyun Valley that provides Dan medicine, its status is naturally self-evident. Although Yaodaozi is only a late-stage foundation-building cultivator, even if he reaches the middle stage of Jindan, the sect master will still treat him with courtesy and equality. Yaodaozi does not like to accept disciples, and including Xiao Chen, this registered disciple, there are only five disciples in total. However, the outer door disciples responsible for managing the medicine garden and collecting herbs under his gate number over a hundred people.

  At this moment, Yao Daozi broke through the Jindan boundary, and the status of the entire Lingyao Valley was elevated by several levels in an instant.

  Wang Erma supervised more than a hundred people under him, who were airing out the spiritual medicine harvested from the warehouse. He occasionally scolded them, giving off an aura of majesty and power.

  "Be quick with your hands and feet, hurry up and bring out all the remaining herbs for me to dry one by one."

  "Be gentle with them, these are all materials for refining the Hui Ling Dan. If you damage them, what will you use to make it up?"

  "Are you blind? That's a snake orchid, it's different from this one. If you put it in the sun for a while, its medicinal properties will be completely gone. Hurry up and move it back for me!"

  Wang Erma conducted for a while, his mouth was also a bit dry, he sat back on the stone table and poured himself a cup of tea to drink, looking at his subordinates' busy appearance, he couldn't help but show a few points of pride. Thinking back, if it wasn't for him cleverly hugging Lingyao Valley's Duan Shixiong's thigh, this leader position would never have fallen on his head.

  Xiao Chen walked slowly into the Spiritual Medicine Valley, as a registered disciple of the Medicine Path, he had the right to enter and exit at any time. Looking at the busy scene in front of him, his face couldn't help but reveal a faint smile, for he had also helped out during his previous stay in the Spiritual Medicine Valley.

  A familiar figure walked by, and Xiao Chen smiled: "Why is General Manager also following to move the medicine grass? Didn't you say before that you wanted to maintain the dignity of a superior, why did you suddenly change your nature?"

  Wang Bin looked at Xiao Chen with some surprise, but his face showed a few unnatural smiles, and he forced a smile: "It's actually Elder Xiao Chen, it's been half a year since we last met. Things have changed, I'm no longer the manager. Before the elder closed up, he handed over the affairs of the valley to Duan Shixiong to take care of. He thought I didn't do well."

  Although Wang Bin pretended to be calm, Xiao Chen still saw a few unusual things in his eyes.

  "What does this have to do with me?" Xiao Chen's face turned somewhat gloomy, and he asked in a low voice.

  "This... Instructor Wang once said something bad about you behind your back, I was momentarily angry and argued with him for a couple of sentences. As a result, he replaced me with someone who flatters him." King Bin's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of resentment as he spoke to this point.

  Xiao Chen heard this and his face turned even paler. Before he could speak, a loud shout came from outside.

  "Wang Bin, when you're working, you chat with idle people. Don't you want to stay here? Well, pack up your things and get out of the outer gate immediately! How many people have been eager to squeeze into our Lingyao Valley but can't?"

  Wang Ermao had an arrogant look on his face, he naturally recognized Xiao Chen, although Xiao Chen's identity as a registered disciple of the Medicine Daozi was much higher than his own. However, Xiao Chen was someone from Duan Shixiong's side, and as the saying goes, "when beating a dog, one must consider its master". He didn't believe that Xiao Chen would dare to go against Duan Shixiong. Therefore, in his heart, he only regarded Xiao Chen as a lucky kid, not putting him in his eyes at all.

  Wang Bin's face turned pale as soon as he heard this, and he was driven back to the outer gate. At that point, he didn't have a single shred of hope left.

  Xiao Chen's face sank, and he suddenly turned around to stare coldly at Wang Ermao, saying lightly: "You miscellaneous people, open your dog eyes and take a good look. I am the named disciple of my master, what are you, dare to shout loudly in front of me?"

  Xiao Chen is now a top-notch expert in the tenth layer of Qi Refining, and although he didn't display his cultivation, an intangible aura still made Wang Er tremble with fear, almost falling to the ground.

  "Haha, I wonder who has the audacity to come to our Lingyao Valley and cause trouble. It turns out to be my junior brother Xiao Chen. Haha, it's been half a year since we last met, and Xiao Chen's cultivation is still stuck in the first layer of the Qi Refining stage, but his temper has made great progress." Just then, a voice with a hint of mockery came from behind, and Xiao Chen turned around to see Duan Huaming and Ji Yuedance walking towards him from the inner courtyard.

  Xiao Chen glanced at him lightly, the eighth layer of the Refining Qi stage, breaking through to this point in more than half a year's time, his talent was also considered not bad, but compared to him, it was like heaven and earth, incomparable.

  His gaze fell on Ji Yuwu, Xiao Chen's eyes slightly condensed. Seventh layer of the Refining stage! He had the help of the Golden Mark to be able to crazily consume medicinal pills for over half a year to reach this level, which was still somewhat understandable. However, this girl was actually able to rely solely on her innate talent to cultivate to such a realm, it could be seen that her spiritual root attribute was absolutely exceptional! Xiao Chen secretly felt shocked, but smiled and said: "Sister Ji, long time no see, how have you been lately?"

  Ji Yuexia glanced at Xiao Chen, seeing his calm and composed demeanor, and was slightly surprised in her heart. This Xiao Shidi may have poor qualifications, but he is indeed very deep. Thinking of the time when he accidentally bumped into her, her face turned slightly red, but she quickly suppressed it and replied calmly: "It's fine, thanks for your concern, Shidi."

  Duan Huaming saw Xiao Chen ignoring him, and his heart suddenly filled with anger. When he saw a fleeting blush on Ji Yuedance's face, he was even more secretly resentful. In the past half year, Ji Yuedance's progress had shocked the entire sect, and the sect leader personally received her and named her as one of the core disciples. With her stunning beauty, she instantly became known as the "First Beauty of Luoyun Valley" among the four major branches, earning the reputation of being an immortal fairy. Duan Huaming had been pursuing her for a long time, but to no avail. Today, seeing her reveal a girlish attitude in front of Xiao Chen, he naturally harbored deep resentment.

  "Wang Erma, what's going on here? How did you manage to provoke Xiao Chen?"

  Pig's feet are about to rise slowly, everyone should also give strength, not a single vote for collection can be less, so Baozi can write more exciting plots with peace of mind!
