After going around and returning to the cell, Zhan Chen looked at the familiar dark environment, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, sighing about his many disasters.

But he did not regret refusing to give in to Yin Meiru. It's just a little self-blame, I'm still too excited, I don't remember the word "Zangfeng" that the master once warned me, otherwise the situation would definitely be much better than now!

"Rejected the demon girl, it seems that I will have to stay in this cell for a long time, but fortunately, I have saved my life, I believe there must be a way to get out, I have to think about it!" he simply closed his eyes and thought quietly.

However, the sound of footsteps in the corridor again interrupted his thinking, and Zhan Chen couldn't help but stand up, and looked at the dark door again, full of hope: "Who will come this time?"

After a while, a tall figure appeared at the door, and he recognized it at a glance, but it was the cell boss.

I saw that the cell boss came straight to his cell, opened the door key, and said, "Zhan Chen, come with me." ”

Zhan Chen was full of suspicion, but he still stood up, followed him, walked out of the cell, and walked towards the exit of the prison.

"Could it be that he wants me to get out of prison?" Zhan Chen felt his heartbeat quickening, but then he thought about it: "No, I just offended that demon girl yesterday, with her little belly chicken intestines, will you let me out today?"

It wasn't until he came to the prison gate that the cell boss turned around and said to Zhan Chen: "Zhan Chen, you can go out!"

He realized that all this was true, but he began to hesitate again: "I can't be too optimistic! I haven't been pardoned yet, otherwise they should have taken off my shackles." ”

"Zhan Chen, aren't you going to leave quickly?" At this time, the voice of the cell boss came again.

Zhan Chen said "oh", and went out of the gate, and when he saw the bright sun again, a feeling of gain and loss rose in his heart.

At this time, a familiar and pleasant female voice suddenly came from the side: "Zhan Chen, come with me." ”

He hurried to follow the voice, only to see Anjou standing by and shouting at him.

"Mr. An, what's going on?" Zhan Chen dragged the shackles towards her.

Anjou replied, "It is the Holy Maiden who wants to summon you, come with me." With that, he turned around and left, and Zhan Chen hurriedly followed her.

Along the way, I heard Anru say: "Zhan Chen, you! This time you can be said to have gone to the Ghost Gate, and it is because of your arrogance that you have suffered such a catastrophe. ”

Zhan Chen said ashamedly: "What Mr. An taught is that the little one will definitely pay attention in the future." ”

"But you kid is lucky, things have taken a turn for the better, and the Holy Maiden is willing to see you, which means that there is still room for maneuver, but you have to be careful when you see the Holy Maiden later!"

Zhan Chen thanked: "Thank you for the teachings of the chief manager, the little one understands." ”

The two came directly to the main hall, but found that Yin Meiru and a group of maidservants were already waiting there.

After the salute, Anjou stepped forward and replied: "Your Highness, the people have been brought." ”

"Okay, you step aside. ”

"Yes!" Anjou stepped aside and stood.

Yin Meiru raised Erlang's legs again, and said to Zhan Chen condescendingly: "Zhan Chen, you killed the elixir of this palace, and you will be executed according to the law, but I think that you are guilty of your first offense, and I can spare you death." ”

Zhan Chen saw that she finally took a step back, and thought to himself: "Now that the demon girl is powerful, I will let her be a little bit to avoid her edge, and if you want to gain a firm foothold in the Holy Maiden Peak in the future, I am afraid that you will have to deal with her." ”

So he was no longer stubborn, and replied: "The little one knows that he is wrong, and he must be cautious next time!"

Yin Meiru couldn't help but smile when she saw that Zhan Chen was finally willing to bow her head to her, but she immediately realized that she was a little overjoyed, so she hurriedly hid her smile, put on that arrogant stinky face again, and said: "Since you have confessed your mistake, this palace will forgive you for all your crimes, and you don't have to worry about the compensation for the elixir." ”

"Not only that, but this palace is very gracious and grants you an application for retreat!"

"What?" Zhan Chen suspected that he had misheard! The surprise came so suddenly, he was a little overwhelmed.

So much so that Anru had to remind on the side: "Zhan Chen, don't thank you soon!"

Only then did he react, kowtowing and thanking: "Thank you, Lord Holy Maiden!"

"Alright, Zhan Chen, you go down, Anjou, you arrange Zhan Chen's retreat. ”

"Yes!" replied Anjou.

So Zhan Chen was able to return to his dormitory smoothly. As soon as the news spread, it caused a sensation in the entire Saint Maiden Peak.

That night, his door was knocked open by Ma Shun, and as soon as he came in, he glared at Zhan Chen and shouted, "Good boy, your luck is really jealous!"

Zhan Chen smiled bitterly: "Brother Ma Shun, don't squeeze me, for this, I almost died!"

"Hey, you can't die!" Ma Shun smirked.

"Oh, why is that?"

"If you want to die, you will die a long time ago, in the past, once our medicine slaves killed the elixir, and there was no money to pay for it, we often didn't survive the next day!

Zhan Chenqi said: "In that case, why are you still willing to stay at the Holy Maiden Peak?"

But seeing Ma Shun's expression, he replied: "Brother, you don't understand, the competition among other peaks is more cruel and bloody, and the Holy Maiden Peak has the lowest mortality rate." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhan Chen could imagine how difficult it was to survive in the Demon Sect.

"Gossip aside, do you know what everyone is saying about you?"

"I don't know. ”

"Everyone says you're the one who is valued by the Holy Maiden. ”

Zhan Chen smiled bitterly: "It's a plaything that was targeted by her, I almost died for it." ”

"It's a plaything, you have to take advantage of the saint's interest in you, climb up even one more level, and you can sit back and relax. ”

"Climb up?" Zhan Chen smiled dumbly, I wasn't interested.

"Don't worry! Ma Shun saw that he was not in high spirits and hurriedly persuaded.

"Well, you say. ”

"Do you know, take our little Lingtian as an example, there are a lot of cats in it!"

"You know, we are just the smallest medicine slaves, and we work hard all day, and we hardly have much time to cultivate, but in exchange for only a little merit point. ”

Zhan Chen couldn't help but nodded approvingly, this medicine slave is indeed too difficult to be, and he has experienced it himself, no matter how much he improves his work efficiency, most of the day still has to be spent taking care of Lingtian, and there is not much time for cultivation at all.

"But you have to know that our superiors are called stewards, and their workload is very small, but what they get is many times that of our medicine slaves!"

"A steward's merit points are only 1,000 per month, which is the same as ours, but the oil and water are in this spiritual field, let me ask you, what is the steward's daily job?"

Zhan Chen pondered for a moment and replied, "I am mainly responsible for inspecting the spiritual field once or twice a month, collecting the mature elixir, registering it, and handing it over to the supervisor at the end of the month." ”

When he said this, Ma Shun suddenly asked, "Brother Zhan, do you know where the key is?"

Zhan Chen thought for a moment, and a fine light flashed in his eyes, as if he had realized something.

"Yes, it's in this account, just change the numbers a little...... Hehe. Ma Shun said proudly, patted his thigh, and showed a lewd smile.

Zhan Chen thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Isn't this easy to be discovered?"

"Hehe, brother Zhan, as long as you work together, how can you be discovered?"

"You mean that the supervisor and the steward conspired together to hide from their superiors?"

"That's right! And there are a lot of elixirs that are greedy for ink, accounting for nearly thirty percent of the output of all spiritual fields, of which two percent are filial piety supervisors, and the remaining one is in charge, and a steward is generally responsible for 20 acres of spiritual fields, just one percent, which is very good!"

"How can there be so many! What should I do if I show my horse's feet?"

"Hehe, brother Zhan, you are too worried, in fact, the one who benefits the most is the chief Anjou, and the Holy Maiden doesn't care about these things at all!"

At this point in the conversation, Zhan Chen finally understood, what is called "the world is as black as a crow", whether it is the righteous path sect or the demon path sect, it is the same, there is always an invisible chain of interests, manipulating all this in secret.

"Brother, you can take advantage of the favor of the Holy Maiden and apply directly to Anru to become the steward of the medicine field, I believe she will not dare to refuse, in this way, what elixir you want, won't there be any elixir?"

Zhan Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, if this was really the case, then all the conditions for alchemy were ready: "The First Essentials of Yuzhai Alchemy", the Dan furnace and the elixir, you can refine a large number of fourth- and fifth-grade pills by yourself, and quickly improve your cultivation with the help of the pills.

Suddenly, he thought of another important point and asked, "But it's not so easy to become a steward." ”

"No, as long as you have a martial venerable cultivation, you can take it, but we have a lot of martial venerable here, so the stewardship cultivation is generally above the high level of the martial venerable, aren't you going to retreat?

Zhan Chen thanked him from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Ma Shun, thank you for telling me all this, if this matter can be done, I will not forget you, brother." ”

"Hehe, brother Zhan, what I'm waiting for is your words!"

"Brother Ma Shun, please forgive me for not being able to accompany me, I want to retreat immediately and break through the martial arts. ”

Zhan Chen suddenly stood up from his seat, he couldn't wait.
