Tianyun Sect, Miscellaneous Peak.

Nine mountain ranges meander and stretch for thousands of miles, like nine dormant dragons. The mountain peaks are majestic, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the aura is hazy, the clouds and mist are diffuse, and the glow is like a glow in the clouds.

As one of the five major sects in Xuanling Prefecture, only in the first major sect of Xuanyuan Gate, Tianyun Sect covers an area of dozens of miles, with huge power, Tianjiao is like a cloud, and there are many strong people.

Miscellaneous Servant Peak is one of the main lineages of the Tianyun Sect, and it is the place where the miscellaneous disciples of the Tianyun Sect live. But the scale of the area is not small, even compared to a small city in the empire.

In the early morning, the morning glow is brilliant and the sun is rising.

Su Chen opened the courtyard door, greeted the splendor of the rising morning glow, and took a deep breath. He looked at the task on the yellowed paper in his hand: to send a hundred bundles of dry firewood to the Alchemy Pavilion.

"A hundred bundles of dry firewood to the Medicine Refining Pavilion is a physical job!" Su Chen looked at the mountains of dry firewood piled up outside the door, his expression was tough and resolute, and he muttered softly.

As a miscellaneous disciple, his daily duty is to clean the martial arts hall or send some miscellaneous things to the mountain ranges. Su Chen is used to this.

Su Chen carried a hundred bundles of dry firewood on his back, which weighed no less than a hundred-year-old tree, almost bending Su Chen's shoulders. Su Chen shook from side to side for a while, and finally got used to the weight.

At this time, Su Chen began to envy the martial artist, if he was a martial artist, then the weight of this bit of dry firewood was nothing to him at all, but it was a pity that he was not a martial artist.

"Warrior! Warrior! Warrior! Su Chen's mouth kept muttering these two words, his eyes flashed with helplessness, and a bitter smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Five years ago, he was brought back to the Tianyun Sect by the elders of the Tianyun Sect, and he thought that he would be able to practice martial arts like those ordinary disciples. But he didn't want to think that for five years, he couldn't even condense the cyclone.

Therefore, he was ridiculed by those disciples a lot, and even privately replaced his name with "waste".

Putting aside these complicated thoughts, Su Chen clutched the firewood on his back and walked in the direction of the medicine mountain.

"It's really early for this waste, one person has to do the task of two people every day, and I really don't know how to stick to it. If I had found a place to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff a long time ago! ”

"There's no way, waste is waste, and if you can't cultivate, you can only do miscellaneous work. I think he's afraid that if he doesn't work hard, he won't even be able to do a chorion! After all, now the handymen also look at the cultivation! ”

"Hehe, waste is waste! I can't even cultivate, how can I still have the face to live in the world! If I was so angry every day, I would have died a hundred years ago! ”

"I really don't know why Elder Feng brought him back when he was out traveling? Did he bring the Tianyun Sect and make him angry and bullied? Haha..."

"Then don't you know, back then, Elder Feng thought that he was a cultivation wizard that was rare in a hundred years, and he was going to bring him back to cultivate as a successor, but who knows, it was not a wizard but a waste firewood!"

"A once-in-a-century waste of firewood! It's loud! ”

When the other miscellaneous disciples saw Su Chen walking with dry firewood on his back, they couldn't help but talk and laugh out loud.

Feeling the sneering and sarcastic gazes around him, Su Chen's footsteps paused for a moment, and his fists clenched and released. Taking a deep breath, he continued to walk in the direction of the Medicine Refining Pavilion.

Su Chen has heard a lot of ridicule like this, but every time he hears it, he always has a momentary impulse and unwillingness.

The Alchemy Pavilion, located on the mountain behind the outer gate, is the territory of the alchemist. Su Chen hadn't been there once before, and this was the first time he had received the task of sending dry firewood to the Medicine Refining Pavilion.

After walking for about a stick of incense, Su Chen walked to the Medicine Refining Pavilion.

It is a simple and elegant ancient building with carved beams and paintings, and many strange decorations are carved. At the door of the Medicine Refining Pavilion, there were two guarding disciple handles.

"The Heavy Land of the Medicine Refining Pavilion, who is coming?"

Seeing Su Chen, the guarding disciple stopped him and said indifferently.

"Miscellaneous disciples, take over the task of miscellaneous service peaks, and send hundreds of bundles of dry firewood here. Please also ask the two senior brothers to make it convenient. Su Chen pointed to the dry firewood behind him, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Miscellaneous disciples?" The guard disciple looked Su Chen up and down, and then he recognized it, showed a sudden expression, and said, "Su Chen, okay, you can go in!" Don't touch anything, though! ”

"Thank you, two senior brothers."

Su Chen bowed and began to unload the bundles of dry firewood behind his back. If you go in directly with dry firewood on your back, then you will definitely not be able to get through this door, and you can only take it in bundles.

After going back and forth several times, Su Chen sweated profusely and gasped. Moving these dry firewood into the Medicine Refining Pavilion and moving them to the designated place, going back and forth so many times, it was still quite difficult for him as an ordinary person.

The two mountain guarding disciples casually glanced at Su Chen, secretly sneering and disdainful. Sure enough, waste is waste, and it's really useless to take so many bundles of dry firewood!

"Hurry up and leave when you're done!"

Seeing that Su Chen was panting and didn't leave, the two mountain guarding disciples waved their hands impatiently and said. The Heavy Land of the Alchemy Pavilion, how could he be a waste to stay, let the elders know that the two of them were indispensable to scold.

"Yes, two senior brothers."

Su Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his face and feet and walked away.

Next, it was time to clean the martial arts dojo, which was his basic task for several years. Almost familiar anymore, he walked in the direction of the martial arts dojo.

At this time, there were many disciples in the outer martial arts dojo who were practicing in the morning. Seeing the people dressed in the costumes of the miscellaneous disciples, they didn't care, and concentrated on their luck.

And Su Chen took a broom and casually swept the dead leaves on the martial arts field. From time to time, his eyes looked at those disciples who were spitting out and cultivating, and his eyes were full of envy.

How he wished that he could also become a member of it, be able to cultivate, and be able to find a place of his own in this huge Tianyun Sect. But why is Providence so tricky to people, Su Chen smiled helplessly.

After sweeping about three pillars of incense, Su Chen put the broom back in place. Preparing to follow the mountain road and return to the Miscellaneous Servant Peak, he is also about to start a day's practice.

But after walking a few steps, a figure suddenly appeared on the road ahead, blocking his way.

"Su Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time, why hasn't your cultivation changed! It can't be that you haven't touched the cultivation method yet, right? Do you want me to teach you? ”

A familiar and mocking voice came into his ears, and Su Chen slowly raised his head and saw a familiar face with a sneer on the corner of his mouth appear in front of him.

It was a young man wearing the robes of the outer disciples. His fair face, red phoenix eyes, hooked nose, and slender and flat lips added a bit of bitterness to him.

"Huo Ming." Su Chen spat out two words from between his teeth. His eyes were slightly touched, and hatred flashed.

This is the disciple who was brought back to the Tianyun Sect with him in the past, named Huo Ming. It is Su Chen's "old acquaintance", who is ruthless and vicious, and has bullied Su Chen before, and it is only because Su Chen went to the Miscellaneous Peak later that the two have less intersection.

Unexpectedly, after a few months, when I came to the outer gate again, I could still meet him.

"Su Da waste, how dare you call the name of the outer disciple! Miscellaneous disciples are not considered official disciples, and when you see an outer disciple, you have to salute, why don't you salute? Huo Ming said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Huo Ming, don't deceive people too much! This is the outer door, and you can't afford it! Su Chen gritted his teeth and said.

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't do anything to you. I came here to see what the person who was praised by Elder Feng as a rare martial arts wizard in a hundred years looks like now! Huo Ming grinned, his eyes flashing with mockery and jealousy.

Back then, the elder of the Tianyun Sect went down the mountain and traveled to the town where he lived. Under the bitter pleading of his parents, he was brought into the Tianyun Sect. And Su Chen, who was praised as a rare genius in a century, directly entered the outer door, which made Huo Ming extremely unconvinced, he thought that he was highly talented, how could he not be as good as an orphan?

He cultivated harder, just to be able to show his edge and let Elder Feng see that he was no worse than Su Chen. Perhaps, Elder Feng would never have imagined how excited and crazy he was when he heard that Su Chen was unable to cultivate.

"Su Chen, did you see it? I'm already in the sixth rank of the pure body realm! This is a realm that you can't touch in your lifetime! A once-in-a-century cultivation wizard? Hehe! ”

Huo Ming said in an excited tone.

Su Chen looked at him indifferently and did not speak. His fists clenched and released, he took a deep breath, didn't look at Huo Ming's face, turned around and left Huo Ming.

Hurriedly followed the path back to the Miscellaneous Peak. Su Chen's expression was as calm as water, and he was not impatient because of Huo Ming's provocation and ridicule, he had long been used to it, and he didn't take it too seriously.

All the way back to the Miscellaneous Servant Peak, Su Chen did not return to the other courtyard, but went to the deserted valley behind the Miscellaneous Servant Peak, which was where he usually practiced meditation.

The valley is surrounded by several small rolling stone mounds, flanked by a few towering ancient trees that shade the sun, and the grass and flowers dot the inside. It's a secluded place, and there are few people on weekdays, so Su Chen has been practicing here.

Su Chen sat cross-legged on a boulder and began a day's meditation. He began to operate the "Spiritual Attraction Technique", wanting to absorb the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth as his own body, and derive the Xuan Qi.

This is the cultivation path of the Tianyun Sect, and every outer disciple cultivates according to the "Spirit Channeling Technique" to embark on the path of martial arts. Although the process is slow, it is effective.

Ordinary people practice for ten days, and at the latest for fifteen days, they can derive Xuan Qi and embark on the path of martial arts. But only Su Chen, who had been practicing for several months, had not been able to derive Xuan Qi and became the first person in the history of Tianyun Sect.

Therefore, Su Chen was also demoted from an outer disciple to a miscellaneous disciple. In the past three years, Su Chen has also cultivated in his spare time every day, but he still has not made any progress, and he has not even felt the signs of Xuan Qi.

Sometimes even he wondered if he was born incapable of cultivating. Could it be that he is really a natural waste wood?

Countless doubts, but he denied himself countless times. Others can cultivate, why can't he? He worked harder and harder day by day, just to prove that he was not a waste.

Today, Su Chen began to doubt himself again. Three years, three whole years, even a fool should be enlightened, but why can't he?

"Ugh." Su Chen let out a long sigh, his heart was mixed, and it was a little difficult to calm down.

"Boy, you are not a simple cultivation physique, and ordinary exercises will not work for you. You don't have to work so hard every day in vain. ”

At this moment, an ethereal and ethereal voice sounded in Su Chen's spiritual platform, which immediately shocked Su Chen, and his hair stood on end. I looked around, but there was no one.

Could it be... What the hell?
