This old man surnamed Yuan was staring at Zhang Hao with a cold face, as if he was examining Zhang Hao, as if he wanted to see through Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao was a little hairy by the old man surnamed Yuan, so he arched his hand with difficulty and said, "The younger generation has seen the seniors, and I don't know what the seniors have to say." ”

Zhang Hao could see that this was a Purple Mansion powerhouse, facing the Purple Mansion monk, Zhang Hao had no chance of winning at all, and even if the other party had the intention to kill him, he didn't even have a chance to escape.

"Hmph!" The old man surnamed Yuan snorted coldly and said, "A miscellaneous spirit root qi cultivator also wants to get close to the genius disciples of our Ice and Snow Sect? What is your plot? Do you know their identities before you use this excuse to approach them?"

The voice of the old man surnamed Yuan was very cold, revealing an irresistible majesty.

He looked at Zhang Hao with gloomy eyes, wanting to see the slightest clue from Zhang Hao's reaction, if Zhang Hao really had any conspiracy, he would definitely not be able to escape his detection.

Zhang Hao naturally knew that if he really had some ulterior motives, this old man surnamed Yuan would definitely kill himself without scruples.

"The seniors misunderstood. Du Xue and Yu Qing and I only met halfway. Zhang Hao did not say that he had saved Yu Qing and Du Xue, he believed that Du Xue and Yu Qing had already told the old man surnamed Yuan about this matter.

"Met halfway?" The old man surnamed Yuan snorted disdainfully, and said, "I heard from the young lady that you saved them?" I don't know what confidence you have as a qi cultivator to save people, or is it just a good show that you arranged to save the beauty? What else are you that you dare to call the names of the two young ladies?"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao could be sure that Du Xue and Yu Qing had not carefully explained what had happened, or that the old man surnamed Yuan had not carefully investigated it.

At the same time, in Zhang Hao's heart, he couldn't help but breed a trace of anger, he saved Yu Qing and Du Xue, this old guy didn't have any gratitude, and even slandered him for arranging it on purpose, and he couldn't even mention the names of Du Xue and Yu Qing.

Although he was very angry in his heart, Zhang Hao also knew that he couldn't show it at this time, otherwise he would anger this Purple Mansion monk and there would be only one way to die.

"Elder Yuan, you really misunderstood. I don't know the identities of the two young ladies. I'm sure I won't have any more trouble with them in the future. ”

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and said.

The old man surnamed Yuan glanced at Zhang Hao again with a gloomy gaze, and after a while, he stretched out a hand and said coldly: "Hand it over!" What a noble status the eldest lady has, how can her things be touched by an ant like you?"

Zhang Hao knew that this old guy wanted to completely cut off the dust between him and Du Xue, so he asked him to hand over Bodhi.

Although Zhang Hao was unwilling, he didn't dare to have any disobedience, he took out the dark green Bodhi seed from the storage bag and handed it to the old man surnamed Yuan.

The old man took the Bodhi Seed, glanced at Zhang Hao again, and said, "Don't let me see you thousands of miles near the Ice and Snow Sect, otherwise I will break your legs and abolish your cultivation." Hmph!"

With a cold snort again, the old man surnamed Yuan waved away.

Zhang Hao stood in place, his body trembling constantly, he was excited.

Because almost no one spoke to him like that.

But it also made him more aware of a truth.

Strength!

It's all about strength.

"Because my strength is too weak, that's why this old guy dares to be so arrogant in front of me, and he dares to force me to hand over the Bodhi Seed. ”

Although Bodhi Zi is not a very precious thing, it makes Zhang Hao feel extremely humiliated.

Besides, what others asked him to hand over today is Bodhizi, and whatever treasure he gets in the future, others can force him to hand it over.

"What I have to do now is to improve my strength and make myself stronger, even a little Purple Mansion monk dares to humiliate me, this is simply ridiculous!"

Zhang Hao took a deep breath and gradually calmed down his angry heart, and the gaze in his eyes became more and more persistent and resolute.

......

Three days later, Zhang Hao finally came to the vicinity of the collection site of the white bamboo fruit.

This area is obviously a rich area of spiritual grass, and there are many monks who haunt here.

The white bamboo fruit grows on the white bamboo, which is a kind of bamboo, but it is like white jade, generally only as thick as a thumb, and a person is tall. The white bamboo fruit is a second-level spiritual fruit, which is considered a low-level elixir, although the output of the white bamboo fruit is not small, and it can even be said that it is relatively large, but because it is used to refine a lot of pills, there are many monks who will come to collect it, usually monks in the late stage of qi training, and of course there are some monks in the early stage of foundation building, which leads to the fact that the white bamboo fruit is not so easy to collect.

In addition, there are usually snow apes guarding the vicinity of the white bamboo fruit, and the strength of the snow ape is very large, and even the monks in the early stage of foundation building do not dare to take it lightly, so it is even more difficult for qi cultivators to collect white bamboo fruits.

Therefore, when a Qi cultivator generally comes to collect white bamboo fruits, several people will form a team together.

"Is this friend also here to collect white bamboo fruits?"

A voice came, Zhang Hao turned his head to look, and saw three men walking towards him.

The three men were dressed in blue-gray clothes, and on the neckline of the clothes, they were embroidered with the logo of a green cloud, which is the sign of the green underworld.

"We are Qingming's disciples, my name is Wang Zhi, and these two are my fellow disciples Bao Yuanqing and Duan Zunyu. The man who greeted Zhang Hao introduced himself.

Zhang Hao arched his hand: "Imperial Sword Sect Zhang Hao." ”

Zhang Hao could see at a glance that this Wang Zhi was a cultivator on the first floor of the foundation, obviously he had just entered the foundation, and he came to collect the white bamboo fruit should be to refine the Zhuyuan Dan, and the Zhuyuan Pill had the effect of improving the cultivation of the foundation building monks in the early stage, but it was not effective in the middle stage of the foundation building.

And that Bao Yuanqing and Duan Zunyu are both cultivators of the ninth level of Qi cultivation, but from the perspective of their expressions, these two people do not look like monks who often wander outside, and there is a feeling of childishness on their bodies.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang, I wonder if Senior Brother Zhang came to collect white bamboo fruits?" asked Wang Zhi with a smile.

In Wang Zhi's opinion, Zhang Hao was only a cultivator of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, and he had not even reached perfection, which was even lower than the cultivation of the two junior disciples he had brought with him, so he called Zhang Hao his junior brother.

Zhang Hao didn't dwell on this problem, nodded and said, "That's right, I'm here to collect white bamboo fruits!"

Wang Zhi's face was overjoyed, and he said, "Since Senior Brother Zhang also seems to collect white bamboo fruits, then let's form a team together, right?"

Zhang Hao had already guessed that Wang Zhi was looking for him to form a team, after all, the cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation was not high in Mingyue Gorge, but it was definitely not low, and many disciples of the sixth and seventh layers of Qi cultivation were also tested in Mingyue Gorge, and the reason why Wang Zhi invited him to form a team must be because of his own cultivation.

However, what made Zhang Hao a little puzzled was that these three people were all disciples of Qing Ming, and Wang Zhi himself was still a foundation building monk, and he also brought two Qi refining perfections, so there should be no risk in collecting white bamboo fruits in such a three-person team, so why invite yourself?

As if guessing what Zhang Hao was thinking, Wang Zhi said again: "Senior Brother Zhang, it seems that Mingyue Gorge has not been very peaceful recently, and there is a group of scattered cultivators who have gathered here to specialize in killing and robbing robbers, which is extremely hateful.

Senior Brother Zhang, you are inevitably a little dangerous here, and the strength of the three of us is also a little weaker, if you join us, we will have more confidence to deal with those loose cultivator robbers!"

"So that's the case!" Zhang Hao muttered, he was not afraid of any robbers, he could even kill the armband rakshasa , and ordinary loose robbers would not take it in their eyes at all, but since this Wang Zhi invited him, then he would not refuse, Zhang Haoyou glanced at Bao Yuanqing and Duan Zunyu behind Wang Zhi, Bao Yuanqing was a slightly black and thin monk, looking a little similar to Sun Hu, looking a little dull, but not as lively as Sun Hu, seeing Zhang Hao looking at himself, Bao Yuanqing showed a shy smile.

As for the other man who looked like Wen Qing Xiucai, it was naturally Duan Zunyu, although Duan Zunyu was also wearing the same Qingming disciple clothes as Wang Zhi and Bao Yuanqing, but he still had a jade plaque on his body, his hair was tied up into a bun, and a hairpin made of delicate warm jade was inserted in it.

This Duan Zunyu looked like the descendant of a rich son, with the aura of a gentleman, when Zhang Hao's eyes touched him, he did not respond to Zhang Hao with his gaze, but played with a jade-colored short sword in his hand with an indifferent face.

"Since Senior Brother Wang has warmly invited, then I will be able to excuse myself again!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, this Wang Zhi's attitude is still good, although he is a foundation building monk, but he has not put on any shelf at all because his cultivation is one level higher.

"Good. Since they have formed a team together, they are their own people!" Wang Zhi said with a smile, and said to Bao Yuanqing and Duan Zunyu behind him: "Senior Brother Bao, Senior Brother Duan, come and say hello to Brother Zhang." ”

"Senior Brother Zhang is good. Bao Yuanqing didn't hesitate, smiled and nodded to Zhang Hao, but he also called Zhang Hao a junior brother.

Duan Zunyu looked a little weak, and also lazily shouted Senior Brother Zhang, in his opinion, Zhang Hao is not just a monk who has not even perfected the ninth level of Qi cultivation, joining them will not make much difference.

Zhang Hao didn't have the same knowledge as this Duan Zunyu, and responded to the two with a smile.

Wang Zhi also found that there were some problems with Duan Zunyu's attitude, but he didn't point it out, after all, he knew Duan Zunyu's background, and Zhang Hao's cultivation was the lowest in this newly formed four-person team, after all, there was an unwritten rule in the cultivation world, usually a team of trials outside, dirty work and tiring work were done by the people with the lowest cultivation, and the monks with the lowest cultivation not only had to do some work that others were unwilling to do, but also were usually oppressed by others.

However, ordinary monks with low cultivation will not show dissatisfaction, after all, their own cultivation is the lowest, and in this world where strength represents everything, only by showing enough strength can they win the respect of others.
