Chapter 13: Friends and Foes

Why would Zhang Datu be optimistic about Gu Cheng and give such a big gift?

He is also a monk at the peak of the condensation stage, he may not be called a first-class powerhouse, but he is definitely not a weak hand, in the Yaoyang Sect, he also has a certain status and status, it is necessary to turn around to please Gu Cheng, a rookie disciple? Most people must think that this is not necessary, and even think that it is a complete joke.

Was Zhang Datu suddenly stupid?

Naturally not.

Zhang Datu's decision to do this was also a deliberate decision.

He had already investigated Gu Cheng's origin in advance, entered the Yaoyang Sect as a genius, and also hung the identity of a registered disciple of Yaoyang Zhenren, as for the talent qualifications, not to mention the previous rumors, just in the past two months or so, he had witnessed Gu Cheng's breakthrough from Qi Refining Fifty Percent to Qi Refining Perfection Realm, he could be sure that Gu Cheng's talent was absolutely not false.

As he said, Gu Cheng's cultivation speed was already qualified to be called the first day genius of the Yaoyang Sect, and it was enough to make the entire Yaoyang Sect shake.

With such a demonic talent and qualification, it is almost a sure thing to become the head of the family, once he grows up in the future, and even has the hope of succeeding the head of the family, the future can be said to be bright, such a character is undoubtedly the real dragon and phoenix among people.

Even if the tiger falls into Pingyang and the dragon dives into the abyss now, Zhang Datu does not dare to take it lightly.

Such a series of conditions are placed here, which is enough for him to invest in bets in advance, after all, compared with the icing on the cake, the effect of sending charcoal in the snow is undoubtedly much better.

"Looking at the degree of condensation of Master Zhang's breath, it should have been some years since he entered the peak of condensation, why hasn't there been a breakthrough?"

"Actually, I still have a question, with Master Zhang's cultivation and ability, how could he have been the person in charge of this slaughterhouse for so many years? Although the work of the slaughterhouse is free, it does not seem to be important to the entire sect, and the so-called head of the slaughterhouse seems to be an idle position. Gu Cheng didn't say that he would accept the gift, nor did he say that he would not accept it, he put the things aside for the time being, but asked with a calm smile.

Zhang Datu was slightly stunned.

Immediately, I couldn't help but feel dark in my heart.

Gu Cheng's two questions seemed random, but they went straight to his core, and for his situation, they were simply to the point.

"It's not a secret."

As if he remembered something, Zhang Datu's eyes flashed with a hint of memory, and a trace of helplessness and unwillingness appeared on his face.

"I think at the beginning, I was actually one of the genius disciples of the sect, and I entered the inner gate early, although I can't be called the core, but it's not much worse."

"But later in a sect mission, I competed with another person for the position of the core disciple, but I didn't expect to be secretly placed by him, not only did the task not be completed, but was ambushed by hostile forces, and in the end, although I escaped with my life, but the foundation of cultivation was greatly affected, and I worked hard for so many years before I could be promoted to the peak of condensation, and if I want to go further, I have already had some strength on my own."

"As for why I have been put on hold in this slaughterhouse for so many years, based on the previous events, I believe you should be able to guess."

"After that person won the mission, he became a core disciple of the sect at that time, and now he has become a high-level figure in the sect, because of the relationship between the same sect and the fact that I basically stay in the sect, he can't do anything to me, but over the years, he has never stopped suppressing me." Speaking of this, Zhang Datu's eyes couldn't help but have a strong hatred.

"I don't know who the high-ranking sect is?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"He is Su Qianchen, one of the four elders of the sect!" Zhang Datu's eyes were burning, and without the slightest hesitation, he replied directly word by word.

There are many elders of the Yaoyang Sect, but generally speaking, the four elders refer to the four elders with the greatest power and strength, and they are also the four people whose status in the entire Yaoyang Sect is second only to the real people of Yaoyang.

Su Lianchen's strength is not the strongest among the four elders, and his qualifications are not the deepest, and his ranking is only the third or fourth, but even so, he is still one of the four elders, as a monk in the Jindan period, for the current Gu Cheng, his strength is definitely extremely strong.

However, Gu Cheng didn't have much fear of him, and if Gu Cheng remembered correctly, this Su Lianchen had a deep relationship with the Dongguo family, and he also accepted Dongguo Sheng as a registered disciple.

Why Named Disciples?

Because Dong Guo Sheng's goal is the head disciple, Su Xianchen only accepts him as a registered disciple, which can not only let him enter the list of core disciples, but also not let him be shackled, and be qualified to compete for the position of head disciple.

"It turned out to be Su Lianchen, a hypocrite, it seems that we should indeed be friends, or rather...... It's an ally. Gu Cheng stood up and said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Datu also laughed.

He investigated Gu Cheng a lot during this time, and naturally knew the contradiction between Gu Cheng and Dong Guo Sheng, and instantly understood the meaning of Gu Cheng's words, they were all smart people, and everything was in their words.

"In this ring match, Dong Guosheng still wants to take the opportunity to completely suppress you, but he would never have thought that this would become a stepping stone to your rise, and he will definitely regret it afterwards."

"As for Su Lianchen, although he has been helping Dong Guosheng, he can't interfere in this matter, and in front of everyone, he can't blatantly deal with you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Datu and Gu Cheng looked at each other and laughed again.

……

That night, Gu Cheng didn't leave again, and stayed here with Zhang Datu.

On the one hand, with the help of Zhang Datu, he can refine this high-grade magic sword as soon as possible, and he can control it normally and exert the true power of this magic sword.

On the other hand, it is to ask Zhang Datu for some cultivation experience of the Yaoyang Sect, after all, Zhang Datu has been in the Yaoyang Sect for so many years, and a lot of experience is very good, as well as the Ding Knife Technique, Zhang Datu is a grandmaster-level figure in this regard.

Under his guidance, Gu Cheng quickly understood some of the things he didn't understand, and the key points that he couldn't grasp before were all grasped at once.

In a short period of time, the power of Gu Cheng's Ding Sword Technique had risen to a notch again.

In this process, Zhang Datu also had a more genuine understanding of Gu Cheng's amazing comprehension ability and learning ability, and he no longer had any doubts about Gu Cheng's talent and qualifications, and he was even vaguely more confident than Gu Cheng himself.

Early the next morning, Zhang Datu personally accompanied Gu Cheng and walked towards the venue of the ring competition.

At this time, there were already many disciples of the Yaoyang Sect gathered in the square where the ring competition was held, including some inner disciples and high-level figures of the sect.

Seeing Gu Cheng's arrival, countless pairs of eyes suddenly shifted one after another.
