Chapter 1159: Where There Is No Light!
The name of Elder Chen in Sun Hao's mouth is Chen Ren, who is the uncle of the sect leader Li Xuan, and he has just broken through the early stage of the Great Yi Immortal Realm, and he is also a ruthless character in the sect.
However, those who knew him well within the Gray Absolute Sect basically didn't call him by his real name, those with a lower status than him called him Elder Chen, and those with a similar status called him Elder Chen.
Also, his temper is so eccentric that no one can find out what is going on in his heart.
Over time, his real name was gradually forgotten, but the nickname of Old Monster Chen gradually became louder.
Chen Ren himself is quite satisfied with this nickname, he is willing to accept it if others are willing to call him, and there is no conflict between them at all.
Old Monster Chen's position in the Gray Absolute Sect is to be in charge of assigning disciple tasks, such as sending them out to run errands, going out to collect medicines, and so on.
If Xia Bo wants to take care of the warehouse, he really has to take advantage of people's nods.
Sun Hao, as a spy who received Xia Bo's benefits, can be said to have done everything that should be done.
The rest depends on how Xia Bo negotiates with Chen Ren.
Chen Laowei, a person with a high position in the sect, naturally lives in a very unusual place, and there is a small independent mountain on the far left of the mountain gate of the Gray Absolute Sect.
Although the mountain peak didn't look very big, only a few miles in radius, the heaven and earth aura inside was the richest place in the entire mountain gate, and ordinary people cultivating there for one day were equivalent to cultivating in other places for two days.
Relying on his status and power, Chen Ren took that mountain peak into his pocket, and only a very small palace was built on the mountain, which was where he and several of his disciples meditated and practiced on weekdays.
However, because he was in charge of many and miscellaneous things, the top of the mountain was not too quiet, and people came to him almost every hour to do things.
After queuing at the bottom of the mountain for most of the day, it was Xia Bo's turn to go up to meet Old Monster Chen.
Xia Bo walked on the quiet mountain path, took a hard breath of the nearby heaven and earth aura, and found that the aura here was much richer than the bottom of the mountain peak, and it was estimated that there was no other place inside the entire Gray Peerless Sect that was suitable for cultivation.
"Xiaoqing, let's also get a mountain like this as a daily cultivation place in the future, what do you think?" Xia Bo walked towards the palace in front of him, and at the same time sighed to the green snake: "I think that if I can cultivate here all day long, the growth rate of cultivation will definitely be very fast, and maybe it won't be long before I can break through to the late stage of the Earth Immortal Realm." ”
"You're so right, it's too tyrannical to give that old monster Chen a place like this to live in. The green snake nodded in agreement: "Otherwise, how about you go and get rid of him now, and then secretly live here?"
"You let me go and deal with Old Monster Chen immediately, he is a strong man in the Great Yi Immortal Realm!" Although Xia Bo is arrogant, this does not mean that he dares to do anything to anyone, it is okay to cross one big realm, if he crosses two big realms to fight, it is clear that he will deliver food: "With my current combat strength, I can barely fight against the monks of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, if I meet the strong man of the Great Yi Immortal Realm, then I can only close my eyes and wait for death!"
The Great Yi Immortal and even the higher realm is the place that can truly reflect a monk's talent, luck, and perseverance.
The strong people who can cultivate to the realm of the Great Yi Immortal are all people with extremely high talent, extremely strong luck, and great perseverance.
A monk in the early stage of the Great Yi Immortal Realm, even against ten monks in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, beating them is like chopping melons and vegetables, without any effort.
"I just said it casually, you actually take it seriously!" The green snake laughed and said: "If you can really fight the powerhouses of the Great Yi Immortal Realm now, then it would be good to go directly and snatch the fragments of the Imperial Furnace from Li Xuan, do you still need to spend so much effort?"
"Okay, although I don't like to hear what you said, it does make a lot of sense, or is our own strength not enough!" Xia Bo could only shake his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "After I get the fragment of the Imperial God Furnace, I will immediately go back to Yancheng and ask the people of the Yun family to help repair it, if I have such a magic weapon in my hand, do I need to be afraid of these people?"
"Alright, you two just don't say a word, and you're about to get to the palace gate in front of you. Seeing that he was about to walk to the place where Old Monster Chen lived, Yu Bing hurriedly reminded Xia Bo: "You'd better think carefully in your heart, what to say when you see Old Monster Chen, if you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will wait for the next time!"
Xia Bo nodded, quickly retracted the expression on his face, pretended to be respectful, and at the same time silently calculated what he was about to say in his heart.
Soon, Charborough walked to the palace gate.
There stood a young hairy boy, leaning lazily against the stone pillar in front of the door.
Looking at his freewheeling posture, Xia Bo knew that he was definitely not an ordinary janitor disciple, maybe he was one of Old Monster Chen's apprentices.
"Boy, I see that you are very naïve, you are a disciple who has just entered the sect recently, right?" Seeing Xia Bo coming over, the man didn't even stand up straight, just squinted his eyes and said: "This time you come to find my master, if it's a business matter, forget it, if it's your personal matter, then hand over the news money of ten spirit stones, otherwise I, Zhu Feng, won't pass it on to you!"
"You have to collect ten spirit stones as soon as you pass on the news, this is too expensive, right?" Xia Bo was really a little speechless, it's not that he can't afford to give this mere ten spirit stones, the key is that Chen Lao Wei is a high-ranking and powerful elder of the sect, if his disciples are all so virtuous, then what should he, a master, be greedy?
No wonder others say that Chen Ren's temper is weird, a person who can so indulge his disciples to collect their wealth, even if his temper is good, it is estimated that it will not be much better.
"I don't have so many spirit stones on me, do you think you can collect a little less?" The reason why Xia Bo said this was because he didn't want to turn his face directly with Zhu Feng, and he said it ambiguously just to test where Zhu Feng's bottom limit was.
If this Zhu Feng is like Sun Hao and the two brothers, as long as they are willing to do anything if they are given money, then Xia Bo will be able to save a lot of effort.
Xia Bo didn't lack these things outside his body, so why not have a few people who were familiar with the inside of the Gray Absolute Sect to help him run errands?
"Little brother, I'm doing this for your own good, before you came here, you probably heard of my master's name, right?" Zhu Feng didn't rush to turn his face and get angry, but explained very patiently: "That's the famous old monster Chen, if you don't have me, a familiar person to help you speak, do you think my master will agree to your request?"
Xia Bo felt a little sneering in his heart, what does it mean that ten spirit stones are cheap?
How much is a lot?
The exchange ratio of spirit stones and silver, a spirit stone is worth thousands of taels of silver.
In an ordinary family, a family of more than a dozen people only uses up a few dozen taels of silver a year.
If you calculate it this way, Zhu Feng's news is a little scary.
"Alright then, these are ten spirit stones. Xia Bo hesitated slightly, and then gave the news money of ten spirit stones: "You can help me go and tell Elder Chen now, just say that the sect disciple Xia Bo has something to ask to see!"
"Little brother, your name is Xia Bo, right?" After receiving the spirit stone, Zhu Feng's face suddenly changed greatly, from the initial carelessness to a happy smile: "You can rest assured, as long as you don't ask my master too much, I can call the shots for you now!"
Seeing this scene, Xia Bo was very speechless, and it was very rare to be greedy for money and greedy for this part.
"You go here first and wait for a while, I'll go and tell my master right away, and then I'll come back and take you in!" The reason why Zhu Feng offered such a scary price was that he originally planned to sit on the ground and bargain with him at the Xia Expo, but he didn't expect Xia Bo to give it out easily, and he didn't even look like he had a slight pain.
At this moment, in his eyes, Xia Bo is a rich man, and he must be served.
"That Sun Hao is like this, this Zhu Feng is the same, why are the disciples of the Gray Absolute Sect so greedy for money?" Seeing Zhu Feng running into the palace with a smoke, the green snake suddenly said with some tears and laughter: "Could it be that the Gray Absolute Sect is so poor, and there is no benefit to being their disciple?"
Xia Bo thought about it and found that what the green snake said was really reasonable, among the disciples of the Gray Absolute Sect who he encountered, it seemed that he had always been obsessed with the spirit stone, and everything could be discussed with the spirit stone.
When they receive other people's spirit stones, they will definitely be loyal, which is really rare.
"I don't know why they're like this, but we're not going to leave here for a while, so we'll ask when we have time. Xia Bo thought for a while, but didn't come up with a reason, so he replied: "Look, Zhu Feng's speed is really fast enough, how long has he been in for a long time, and he actually came out with a happy face, it seems that my matter should be done!"
"Brother Xia Bo, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting!" Zhu Feng ran to him in three or two steps, and suddenly said with some embarrassment: "I just told my master everything, and my master's answer is that it's okay if it's not too big, why don't you go in with me now and meet him in person, and the two of you can talk about it again?"
"Okay then, then there will be Senior Brother Lao Zhu. Xia Bo nodded, followed Zhu Feng, and walked towards the palace step by step.
Along the way, Zhu Feng also mentioned many secret things within the Gray Peerless Sect to Xia Bo.
Xia Bo listened with relish, if it weren't for the urgent matter to meet Chen Lao Wei now, it would be a good thing to find a place to chat with Zhu Feng for a long time.
"By the way, Senior Brother Zhu, I always hear others say that Elder Chen's temper is not very good, if I see him in a while, what should I tell him so that he will not be angry with me?"
"Brother Xia Bo, I once mentioned to you that my master has a bad temper, that is, none of them have really seen my master's kindness!" Zhu Feng said indifferently: "My master is definitely the person with the best temper in the world, you can see how good my master is to me from my appearance, if I were replaced by other elders, I would have been kicked out a long time ago, can I still be chic until now?"
Xia Bo did not answer directly, but looked at Zhu Feng with a look of surprise.
"Could it be that this old man Chen has a really good temper, and what does the news that Sun Hao said before represent?" Xia Bo thought that Zhu Feng's words were from the bottom of his heart, not like he was forcibly disguised, and he secretly said in his heart.
Xia Bo thought about it, and could only come to one conclusion, that is, Elder Chen and Zhu Feng, the two masters and apprentices, were both weirdos with similar personalities, otherwise they wouldn't look at each other so pleasing to the eye?
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, they are all monsters with bad tempers.
But in their own eyes, they are good people who can't be better than good.
"In this way, then I understand, when I see Elder Chen, I will definitely speak well. Xia Bo thought of this and felt that this should be the case, but he didn't say it in front of Zhu Feng, so he had to say perfunctorily: "You can also help me say a few good words when the time comes, if the matter is done, I will definitely have a lot of thanks!"
"Brother Xia Bo, since you are so smart, then I won't say much, senior brother, I will only tell you one thing, although I am also a person who likes spirit stones very much, he prefers people who are generous by nature. The word [heavy thanks] made Zhu Feng sound extremely comfortable, and he even smiled from ear to ear, and said very boldly: "If he makes any incredible requests to you, you can agree first and then slowly bargain with him, if you refuse directly, I'm afraid that the impression on him will not be too good, can you understand what I mean?"
Of course, Xia Bo can understand the meaning of Zhu Feng's words, to put it bluntly, isn't it that Old Chen has a moody temper and is unpredictable?
"Senior Brother Zhu, can you tell me why this palace was built so strangely? There is no light above our heads, and the few windows are still open outside, could it be that Elder Chen likes this kind of environment?"
Inside the mountain gate of the Gray Absolute Sect, it is actually not a secret thing, and many people have heard of it.
"Brother Xia Bo, it's not that my master likes this kind of environment, but his precious beast likes a place with a little darker. Zhu Feng had nothing to hide, and replied directly: "Originally, there were windows above this palace, but it was later sealed by the master, so it looks so weird." ”
Hearing this, Xia Bo was very curious about what the divine beast that Old Monster Chen raised, and Old Monster Chen could not hesitate to change the living environment for that divine beast like this, which shows that the status of that divine beast must be very high in his heart.
Xia Bo nodded, and didn't say a word of nonsense.
After a short time, Xia Bo and Zhu Feng finally walked to the door of the inner hall.
Two guards with solemn expressions stood in front of the main hall, and Zhu Feng stepped forward and muttered to them in a low voice.
I saw them nod, and then the man standing on the left gently pushed the door open, signaling that Zhu Feng could take Xia Bo in.
"Brother Charbo, let's go inside. Zhu Feng guided.
"Good. Xia Bo followed Zhu Feng and walked towards the inside of the main hall.
