Chapter 4: The Newcomer (Part II)

It's the abyss again.

A touch of displeasure suddenly rose in Jiang Chang's heart. He had just heard this name in Wu Wenlong's mouth, and now he saw it here in Shu Ran, is this considered fate? Just an inner disciple of the Ice Demon Peak, it has appeared in front of him again and again recently, and even received Shu Ran's attention, which really makes him uncomfortable. However, Wu Wenlong has already left, and presumably he will not see this annoying name again after a while.

Shu Ran frowned and read the simple report. She will always regard the sect as the most important existence, and every potential disciple is worthy of attention in her opinion, especially for the junior brother Han Yuan who she brought into the sect with her own hands, she is proud of him from the bottom of her heart. However, how long has Han Yuan only been in the inner gate, and he was punished from the inner gate for three years after making such a fuss, for an inner disciple who is on the rise, staying away from the upper seven peaks with a favorable environment for three years, the losses caused are incalculable.

It's a pity.

Shu Ran couldn't help but sigh. Han Yuan originally had a lot of potential, and she was still looking forward to letting him appear at the Guangping Festival the year after tomorrow, but it seemed to be difficult at the moment, and she only hoped that the three-year delay would not let him fall behind for too long. Fortunately, the path of cultivation is already long, and time is the most precious and least precious thing, for a disciple who has his eyes on the golden pill, three years is not too long a time, maybe this is also some kind of training.

Jiang Chang had been watching coldly, and when he saw Shu Ran looking up, he also restrained the displeasure on his face and said, "It's just a trivial matter." If the junior sister doesn't want him to be punished, then tolerate him. ”

"No, I can't. Although I have this power, the laws of the sect must not be broken. Cannibalism, even if it is manslaughter, is a big mistake. A mistake is a mistake, and unintentional mistakes must also be punished, otherwise where is the majesty of the sect?" Shu Ran immediately vetoed this proposal and glanced at Jiang Chang with some dissatisfaction.

She really knows too well about this senior brother who grew up together since she was a child - to say that Jiang Chang is caring about Han Yuan is dreaming, Jiang Chang has never cared about any sect disciple except her, even if all the disciples die, he won't care too much. No matter how long it has passed, it is difficult for her to accept such a notion. Because of this, even if she knew that the high-level of the sect was matching her and Jiang Chang, she would bite the bullet and refuse to accept the other party.

"Fault is wrong, I can't let him come back. Shu Ran restrained his mind and finally made a decision: "But from the perspective of a friend, I can help him a little...... At the very least, I allow his monthly routine to remain unchanged, and even in the Dry Bone Plain, he still enjoys the treatment of a disciple of the Upper Seven Peaks. ”

Friend? Jiang Chang's face did not change, but only showed a silent and disdainful sneer.

On the Crazy Blood Peak, a bright blue-purple aura erupted from the inside of a room, and then calm returned. Peng Zilang stood up, with a small arc of electricity swirling all over his body, crackling for a while, and then gradually extinguished, revealing his toned body. He calmed down the surging spiritual power around him and walked out slowly. Hurriedly a maid respectfully sent towels and tea, and for a while, the small palace was filled with the congratulations of the attendants.

Peng Zilang said in a good mood: "Which of you will send a message to Bingsha Peak for me? Go to see Senior Brother Hanyuan of Bingsha Peak and tell him that I have broken through the middle stage of foundation building, and after a few days of stable cultivation, I will go to see him and fight against him, so that he should not lag behind me too much!"

The three or four maids looked at each other, and finally a bold girl whispered: "Senior brother, Senior Brother Han is not in the Ice Peak, but in the Dry Bone Plain. ”

Peng Zilang was stunned: "Dry Bone Plains, where did he go, how did he go, how did you know?"

The maids hurriedly replied one by one: "Senior brother has recently been in retreat, so I don't know about this matter. I heard that Senior Brother Han Yuan had a fight with someone in the Earth Fire Pill Room before, and accidentally killed an outer disciple, and was punished to be on duty in the Dry Bone Plain. There are just so many people in Shangqifeng, and they have spread all over recently. ”

Peng Zilang frowned slightly, slowly let go again, and waved his hand to let the maids go down: "Such a big thing...... Forget it, go down, and I'll go to the outer gate myself in a few days to find him. ”

Han Yuan didn't wait long in the room before there was another soft knock on the door.

This time it was a beautiful girl. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in wooden hairpins and cloth, simple and unpretentious. The appearance is not particularly outstanding among the female cultivators, but Bai Temporary's face has the beauty of a girl, and a pair of bright eyes like ink, which is very comfortable to look at. The skirt is not messy between walking, and the steps are quiet, which is naturally a dignified bearing.

"Disciple Su Xiaocicada, I have seen Senior Brother Hanyuan. The girl named Su Xiaochan bowed and bowed: "Deacon Luo ordered his disciples to come and serve." ”

Han Yuan nodded, revealing a gentle expression, signaling her not to be nervous: "The room in the West Courtyard over there is yours, you can use it as you like." Don't come into my room if you have nothing to do, and don't go into the practice room over there. It's not a big deal here, just remember to send three meals over every day, if I don't ask you to do other things, you don't have to do it, just practice by yourself in your free time. ”

Su Xiaocian was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect it to be so simple, but she reacted immediately, obediently, without any intention to explore. Seeing her like this, Han Yuan nodded secretly, more satisfied with her performance. It seems that this time, Luo Ye did help him pick it with his heart, and he wrote down this favor.

"You used to do odd jobs?"

"Yes, the disciple used to be a maid beside the princess of the secular Dachang Kingdom under Linglan County. Su Xiaocian responded: "When the sect recruited people, the son of the eldest princess was found to have double spirit roots and worshiped the sect. The disciple was also fortunate enough to measure the five spirit roots, and the princess ordered me to enter the sect with the little son, so that I could take care of the son. ”

Han Yuan nodded, no wonder Su Xiaocian was so calm at a young age. He has lived in White Horse City for a while, but he knows how picky the nobles in the world are about life, and being able to serve the princess of a country is beyond doubt. This is the best, with this experience, he doesn't have to worry about what Su Xiaocian will cause for him.

Han Yuan asked casually, "By the way, what about the son you want to take care of? You were sent to me, what about him?"

Su Xiaocian smiled bitterly when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "Back to Senior Brother's words, the little boy was pampered at home in the past, and his personality was inevitably arrogant, and he refused to restrain himself after entering the school, offending a true disciple...... He died unexpectedly two years ago. ”

died unexpectedly, everyone knows what the reason is in these four words. Although the sect strictly forbids cannibalism, in fact, everyone knows that which disciple does not have a few enemies of life and death? Harmony and friendship, being close to each other like a family, that is all a joke, and it is nothing more than a matter of being discovered by the law hall or not. Han Yuan just asked casually, and immediately nodded and let her out.

Han Yuan carefully locked the door of the practice room, activated the defensive formation again, and then turned around and sprinkled the well-proportioned poison into the hot water. The clear hot water in the tub turned dark green at a speed visible to the naked eye, and pale green bubbles bubbled up on it, popping up and breaking from time to time. The smell of the potion smelled a little sweet, like the cane sugar that children like to eat, but if you really got closer, you could know how poisonous it was, and the steam that came to your face even made people's cheeks hurt faintly, and any monk in the foundation building period fell into it, and if he didn't last for a minute, he would die of poison.

Except for the cold abyss.

He gritted his teeth and stepped in, and the pain immediately swept through his mind. The muscles were quickly torn apart by countless knives, and then repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. The entire practice room was filled with the sweetness of the potion and the fishy smell of blood, which eventually turned into a strong smell of near death.

About half an hour later, the pale-faced Han Yuan staggered to his feet and put on a coat for himself. The long-term severe pain not only made him unable to lift his strength, but even his spirit was exhausted in this struggle. Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he did not go back to bed to rest, but sat down cross-legged on a futon in front of him, trying his best to lift his spirits, and seized the time to visualize the spiritual visualization hanging on the wall in front of him.

Han Yuan didn't know when he fell asleep, maybe he was mentally exhausted to a certain limit, and he fell asleep unconsciously. The monks of the foundation period have not yet been able to completely get rid of sleep and food. It wasn't until the first rays of morning light hit the sky the next day, and the sunlight fell into the room through the flower windows, that he woke up leisurely.

I slept all night in the practice room.

Han Yuan smiled, put on the robe with his hands, felt the vigorous power in his body, and couldn't help but show a touch of joy on his face. I have to say that although the body refining technique of the Imperial Poison Sect was so violent that every time he practiced his body, it was like being punished by death, but its effect was undoubted. Every time he refines his body, it is like being reborn, and his physical strength is now much stronger than that of himself who just entered the foundation building a few months ago. The increase in his mental strength was equally amazing, and the perseverance in honing his soul for several months made his already tenacious spirit even more solid. Therefore, even though each refinement was extremely painful, and could only be used once every seven days due to the limited ability of the physical body, Han Yuan still tortured himself with pleasure.

Han Yuan opened the door and was immediately stunned. Outside the door stood silently a girl in plain clothes, it was Su Xiaochan, and I don't know how long she had been standing here. Seeing Han Yuan come out, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You've been guarding here?" Han Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. If I remember correctly, Su Xiaocian stayed outside after fetching water last night, saying that she wanted to protect the Dharma for him, didn't this girl ever walk through?

Su Xiaocian smiled slightly: "Yes, the disciple is used to keeping vigil in the mansion as usual." She was still carrying a lunch box in her hand, which was still steaming hot because it was wrapped in fire-based spiritual power. Han Yuan didn't think it before, but when he saw the lunch box, he realized that he was already hungry, and hurriedly asked her to come into the house and sit down to eat. Even though it was just ordinary porridge boiled with rice and a little side dish, he was still very satisfied.

"You don't have to protect the Dharma for me in the future, you can just go and sleep by yourself. Although he was touched by Su Xiaocian's behavior, Han Yuan did not have the habit of treating others harshly, and his requirements for miscellaneous disciples were not so high: "You don't have to be too restrained, and you don't need to do this." I will not eat anyone, nor will I punish you. ”

Su Xiaocian pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded yes. At this time, she seems to have a little girlish liveliness.
