Alchemist Sword Sect

"There is no other way. In fact, don't worry too much. Even if you fail to complete the task, what if you are demoted to an ordinary inner disciple? People have great ambitions, why should they care about temporary ups and downs?" Lu Chen said.

Having said that, we still can't give up on the matter now. If we can complete the task, it will be a good thing after all.

Lu Chen and Su Xuan left Shandong and walked towards the depths of the Maple Leaf Forest. This place can be regarded as a beautiful place. Various beasts of the fourth and fifth levels of the Xiantian realm can occasionally be seen. However, with the strength of the two of them, As long as you don't encounter large wolves or flocks of wind gods, ordinary monsters are easy to deal with.

In the afternoon, Chase Lu still hadn't found a lone wind bird. As he was walking, he suddenly heard a faint quarrel.

"There's someone there." Lu Chen followed the voice, and not long after, he came to an open grassland.

The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant here, and there is a smell of herbs in the air, which is refreshing and refreshing.

On the edge of the grass, a dozen people were discussing something together.

"He is a disciple of our sect." Su Xuan said.

These people were wearing sect attire, and it was obvious at a glance that they were disciples of the Xingyun Sect. They must have come here to practice.

Among them were eight inner disciples and three outer disciples in green clothes. The eight inner disciples were surrounding the three outer disciples. Those three were obviously the weaker side and were arguing fiercely.

Lu Chen saw one of the outer disciples holding a purple herb in his hand. It was the root of wisteria, a top-grade elixir that could restore vitality, prolong life, activate blood circulation and relieve menstruation. It was considered a relatively precious medicine.

Listening to the arguments of these people, it seems that it started because of that one wisteria root.

"Hey, why is there anyone else?" Suddenly someone noticed Lu Chen standing in the distance.

"It's from Xuanwu Hall." Someone said.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Chen and Su Xuan, the three outer disciples seemed to suddenly feel confident. They ran directly towards Lu Chen and saluted respectfully: "Are you senior brothers from Xuanwu Hall? We are affiliated with Xuanwu Hall. The disciples of the outer hall, these inner disciples of the White Tiger Hall want to rob our herbal medicine. I also ask senior brother to seek justice."

Nowadays, the entire sect of Xingyun Sect has actually been divided into several factions. Due to the clear distinction between the four disciples of Qinglong White Tiger and Suzaku Xuanwu, the inner and outer hall forces they belong to are also divided. Under normal circumstances, the outer disciples must obey their respective divisions. The order of the elite disciples and elders of the hall.

Although these three people did not know Lu Chen, the Xuanwu Hall logo on Lu Chen's clothes had already indicated his identity. According to the unwritten rules of the sect, elite disciples have certain rights to command the outer disciples under their respective halls. They have the right to command. Of course, we also have the obligation to protect the interests of the disciples in the branch to which we belong.

It wouldn't be appropriate if Chase Lu just turned his back on him.

But Chase Chase is really too lazy to meddle in other people's business.

The other eight inner disciples of the White Tiger Hall saw that Lu Chen was silent, but stared at Lu Chen and the two of them with hostility. However, because of Lu Chen's status as an elite disciple, they did not dare to be rude for the time being, otherwise they would have cursed.

"What's going on?" Lu Chen asked calmly.

He walked forward and was busy catching the Wind God Bird. He had no time to spend on these people, and he had no intention of staying.

When the three outer disciples saw that Lu Chen didn't want to take care of things, one of the women said anxiously: "Brother, this wisteria root is the herb we use to save lives. My brother was scratched by the wind god bird and is waiting to use the wisteria root to save his life." , so the three of us took the risk and came here. Fortunately, we were lucky enough to collect a wisteria root, but these people from the White Tiger Hall wanted to rob our herbal medicine. This is simply killing people."

The woman's tone was very urgent, fearing that Chase Lu would be impatient, so she spoke very quickly.

These three outer disciples were only at the ninth level of acquired cultivation, but they dared to break into Maple Leaf Forest. They were brave enough.

This is the habitat of the Wind God Bird. Even if the elite disciples break in here, they have to take certain risks. The few inner disciples only dare to break in as a team of eight people.

However, these three people were of low cultivation and dared to break in. They were just gambling with their lives. It could be seen that they really needed this wisteria root.

"Fart! We discovered this wisteria root a month ago. At that time, we wanted to wait for the wisteria root to bloom and bear fruit, but you picked it before the bitter fruit had grown. It's simply disgusting." Several people from Baihu Hall said one after another. Scolded.

Wisteria roots can produce a kind of fruit called bitter fruit. This spiritual fruit tastes very bitter, but it can soothe the mind and calm the mind. Taking it when practicing can reduce the risk of going crazy. It is very expensive in the market.

A male disciple said: "This is the wild, and whoever can pick it depends on luck. You said you discovered it a month ago, why didn't you pick it then? If it was yours who discovered it first, then I would have discovered the entire maple leaf long ago. Forest, can I say that the entire forest belongs to me?"

"Boy, you are looking for death!" All the White Tiger Hall disciples were furious.

The three outer disciples said to Lu Chen: "Senior brother, these people are so unreasonable. I leave it to you to make a decision on this matter."

Lu Chen kept watching these people arguing and said: "Wisteria root is a thing in the wild. Of course, whoever gets it first belongs to whoever gets it first. If there is a dispute, this kind of thing can't be handled easily. Just go back and let the elders of the sect make the decision. , why bother asking me?"

"Yes, yes, what senior brother said is absolutely true. Let's go back to the sect and let the elders from the outer hall handle justice." The three Xuanwu Hall disciples said one after another.

Obviously, the three of them hold the truth. Even if they return to the sect, the sect will still award this wisteria root to them in the end.

Lu Chen said this without offending both parties.

He is naturally not afraid of these inner and outer disciples, but there is no need to make enemies everywhere, and of course he cannot show weakness too much, as that would appear timid.

"No, it's ours, how can we let the sect decide?" A short and fat inner disciple said arrogantly.

The crowd said and surrounded them.

"Brother Chen, it's getting late. We have to catch the Wind God Bird in a hurry. There's no need to talk to them." Su Xuan said from the side.

At this time, the sun has set, and the entire maple leaf forest has become dim.

Lu Chen nodded and was about to walk out.

The female disciple from before suddenly said with great joy: "Senior Brother, do you want to hunt the Wind God Bird? There is a Wind God Bird wreaking havoc in our village, endangering people and animals. If you two brothers are willing, I can take you there."

"Oh? Where is your village? Is it a lone wind god bird?" Lu Chen asked.

If it is a large group, then catching them becomes meaningless. The wind birds summon each other and attract a large group at once, which is not something Lu Chen can deal with.

"Yes." The female outer sect disciple briefly explained the matter. It turned out that these three outer sect disciples were from a nearby village. The year before last, the Nebula Sect came to the village to recruit potential disciples, and the three of them became outer sect disciples. . Now a wind god bird appeared in the village, so the villagers thought of the three of them and sent a message asking them to return to the village to help hunt the wind god bird.

The three of them were regarded as the pride of the whole village, but how could it be possible for three outer disciples to capture the Wind God Bird?

The three of them tried various methods, setting traps, using iron nets, bows and arrows, burning, and other means, but the wind god bird came and went like the wind and could not be killed at all.

The three of them were ashamed and ashamed, but they had no choice but to ask for help from the sect. With their status, they could not hire any experts. They could at most ask the inner sect disciples they knew to help. But how could the ordinary inner sect disciples do anything to the Wind God Bird? Everyone rounded them up. , instead of killing the Wind God Bird, several people were injured as a result. Two inner disciples are still recovering from their injuries in the sect, and the woman's brother was also seriously injured by the Wind God Bird.

The claws of the wind god bird are poisonous. If it is scratched, it will easily fall into a coma. It will die in up to three days. It is waiting for the antidote. The three of them had to risk their lives to pick wisteria roots in the Maple Leaf Forest, but now they were left in trouble by these inner disciples of the White Tiger Hall.

"I see, you take me to your village to have a look." Lu Chen said.

With the news of the lone wind god bird, he could make arrangements calmly, and it would certainly not be difficult to catch one.

"Don't leave, hand over the wisteria root." The short and fat inner disciple shouted.

Su Xuan stood in front of the man and said coldly: "Human life is at stake. How can you ignore people's lives and lives for a wisteria root? Brother Chen was too lazy to care about your affairs before because we had to rush for time and don't give up. Face, get out!"

The inner disciple turned red with anger: "Do you know who I am? My name is Ling Kaifeng."

"Ling Kaifeng? What is that? You're welcome if you don't go away." Su Xuan has indeed never heard of the name Ling Kaifeng.

"It's really ignorant and ridiculous. Ling Kaifeng's eldest brother is an elite disciple of the White Tiger Hall. Senior brother Ling Kaihua is a master of the fifth level of Xiantian realm. Who do you think you are?" An inner disciple immediately asked provocatively.

"Ling Kaihua, it turns out it's that kid. Not to mention Brother Chen, I want to learn from him and see what he is capable of?" Su Xuan said unceremoniously.

"Let's go. I won't fight with you. We have to catch the Wind God Bird in a hurry. There is no time to delay." Lu Chen said, waved his hand, and a strong wind wrapped around him, and the few people blocking him involuntarily gave way. aside.

The three outer disciples followed Lu Chen closely.

"If you don't hand over the wisteria roots today, you can't leave." Ling Kaifeng said loudly.

Eight inner disciples formed a siege and surrounded Lu Chen and others.

The eight of them can't stop the elite disciples, but if the elite disciples want to defeat the eight of them in one go, they generally can't do it. In their opinion, even if Lu Chen can get away, Su Xuanze may not be able to. As for the other three Not to mention outer disciples.

"The mantis' arm is like a cart!" Su Xuan snorted, rushed forward and punched Ling Kaifeng.

These inner disciples were all in the early stages of the Xiantian realm. They were weaker than Su Xuan in terms of realm, and their strength was even worse. Su Xuan punched out, knocking Ling Kaifeng away immediately.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically and they all retreated.

Su Xuan was obviously someone close to Lu Chen. Even Su Xuan, an inner disciple, had such strength. Although Lu Chen didn't take action, it was conceivable that he must be stronger. Several people suddenly retreated.

"Come together." Ling Kaifeng shouted sharply.

Everyone's expressions tightened, and under the pressure from Ling Kaifeng, they had no choice but to rush forward.
