Chapter 4106

"There is no other way. In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Even if you can't complete the task, what if you are demoted to an ordinary inner disciple? People have lofty ambitions, so why care about temporary ups and downs?" Lu Chen said.

Having said that, things can't be given up until now. If the task can be completed, it will be a good thing after all.

Lu Chen and Su Xuan left Shandong and walked to the depths of the Maple Leaf Forest. This place can be regarded as a beautiful place, and various beasts of the fourth or fifth level of the innate realm can be seen occasionally, but with the strength of the two of them, As long as there are no large packs of wolves or flocks of Fengshen birds, ordinary monsters are easy to deal with.

In the afternoon, Lu Chen still didn't find a single Fengshen bird. While walking, he suddenly heard the sound of arguing.

"Someone." Lu Chen followed the voice and walked to an empty grassland not long after.

The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and there is a smell of herbs in the air, which smells refreshing.

At the edge of the grass, a dozen people were arguing about something.

"It's a disciple of our sect." Su Xuan said.

Wearing martial arts costumes, these people can be seen at a glance as disciples of Xingyun Sect, and they must have all come here to practice.

Among them were eight inner disciples, and three outer disciples wearing green clothes. The eight inner disciples were surrounding the three outer disciples. Those three were obviously weak, and they were arguing fiercely.

Lu Chen saw that one of the outer disciples was holding a purple herb in his hand. It was wisteria root, a high-grade elixir, which has the effects of restoring vitality, prolonging life, promoting blood circulation and dredging menstrual flow. It can be regarded as a relatively precious medicine.

Listening to the arguments of these people, it seems that it was because of that wisteria root.

"Hey, why are there still people?" Suddenly someone noticed Lu Chen standing in the distance.

"It's from Xuanwu Hall." Someone said.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Chen and Su Xuan, the three outer disciples seemed to suddenly gain confidence. They ran towards Lu Chen and saluted respectfully: "Are you a senior from Xuanwu Hall? We are affiliated to Xuanwu Hall." The disciples of the outer hall, these inner disciples under the White Tiger Hall want to rob us of our herbs. I also ask my brother to uphold justice."

The current Xingyun Sect has actually divided the entire sect into several factions. Due to the clear distinction between the disciples of Qinglong Baihu and Suzaku Xuanwu, the inner and outer halls to which they belong are also divided. Under normal circumstances, the outer disciples must obey their divisions The order of the elite disciples and elders of the church.

Although the three of them didn't know Chase Lu, the logo of Xuanwu Hall on Chen Chen's clothing had indicated his identity. According to the unwritten rules of the sect, elite disciples had certain rights to command the disciples of the outer sect under their hall, and had the right to command. Of course, they are also obliged to protect the interests of their branch disciples.

It would not be appropriate to say that Chase Lu just let go of him like this.

But Chase Lu was really too lazy to meddle in other things.

The other eight inner disciples of Baihutang saw that Lu Chen didn't speak, but stared at Lu Chen and the two hostilely. It was just because of Lu Chen's status as an elite disciple that they didn't dare to be rude for the time being, otherwise they would have already yelled.

"What's going on?" Lu Chen asked lightly.

He walked forward and was busy catching Fengshen Bird, he didn't have time to spend on these people, so he didn't intend to stay.

The three outer disciples saw that Lu Chen didn't want to take care of things, and one of the women said anxiously: "Brother, this wisteria root is the herbal medicine we use to save lives. My brother was scratched by the Fengshen bird and is waiting to use the wisteria root to save his life." , so the three of us took the risk to come here, luckily we picked a wisteria root, but these people from Baihutang wanted to rob us of our herbs. This is simply killing people."

The woman's tone was very hasty, fearing that Lu Chen would be impatient, she spoke quickly.

These three outer sect disciples only have the cultivation base of the Houtian Jiuzhong, but they are brave enough to dare to break into the Maple Leaf Forest.

This is the habitat of the Fengshen Bird. Even if the elite disciples came here, they would have to take a certain risk. Those inner disciples only dared to enter in groups of eight.

But the three of them were lowly cultivated, and they dared to rush in. They were completely gambling with their lives. It could be seen that they really needed this wisteria root very much.

"Fart! We discovered this wisteria root a month ago. At that time, we wanted to wait for the wisteria root to bloom and bear fruit, but the bitter fruit was picked by you before it grew. It's abominable." Several people in Baihutang scold.

Wisteria root can produce a kind of fruit called bitter fruit. This kind of spiritual fruit tastes very bitter, but it can calm the mind and calm the mind. Taking it when practicing Qigong can reduce the risk of madness. The price on the market is very expensive.

A male disciple said: "This is in the wild, anyone who can pick it is just luck. You said you found it a month ago, why didn't you pick it then? If you found it first, then I would have found the whole maple leaf." The forest, can it be said that the entire forest is mine?"

"Boy, you are looking for death!" All the Baihutang disciples were furious.

The three outer disciples said to Lu Chen: "Brother, these people are too unreasonable, please decide this matter."

Lu Chen kept watching these people arguing, and said: "The wisteria root is a wild thing. Of course, whoever gets it first will get it. If there is a dispute, this kind of thing can't be easier to handle. Go back and let the elders in the door decide." , why ask me?"

"Yes, yes, what what brother said is very true, let's go back to the sect and let the elders of the outer hall uphold justice." The three Xuanwu hall disciples said one after another.

Obviously, the three of them had reason, even if they returned to the sect, the sect would still award this wisteria root to them in the end.

Lu Chen did not offend both parties by saying this.

Naturally, he wasn't afraid of these internal and external disciples, but there was no need to make enemies everywhere, and of course he couldn't show weakness too much, which would make him appear timid.

"No, it's ours, how can the sect judge it?" A short and fat inner disciple said arrogantly.

As the crowd spoke, they surrounded them.

"Brother Chen, it's getting late, and we have to catch the Fengshen Bird in a hurry, so we don't need to talk to them." Su Xuan said from the side.

At this time, the sun had already set, and the entire Maple Leaf Forest became dark.

Lu Chen nodded and was about to go out.

The female disciple from before suddenly said with great joy: "Brother, are you going to hunt the Fengshen bird? There is a Fengshen bird raging in our village, endangering people and animals. If the two senior brothers are willing, I can take you there."

"Oh? Where is your village? Is it a lone Fengshen bird?" Lu Chen asked.

If it is a large group, then the arrest becomes meaningless. The Fengshen birds call each other and attract a large group at once, which is not something Lu Chen can deal with.

"Yes." The female outer disciple briefly explained the matter. It turned out that the three outer disciples were from a nearby village. The year before last, Xing Yunzong came to the village to recruit potential disciples, and the three of them became outer disciples. . Now a Fengshen bird appeared in the village, so the villagers thought of the three of them, and sent a message asking them to return to the village to help hunt the Fengshen bird.

The three of them are regarded as the pride of the whole village, but how could the mere three outer disciples get the Fengshen Bird?

The three of them resorted to various methods, set up traps, used iron nets, bows and arrows, set fires, and other means, but the Fengshen Bird came and went like the wind, and they couldn't be killed at all.

The three of them were ashamed and ashamed, but they had no choice but to seek help from the sect. Their identities could not invite any masters at all, at most they could ask inner disciples they knew to help, but ordinary inner disciples could do nothing to Fengshenniao. , not only failed to kill the Fengshen bird, but caused several people to be injured. Two inner disciples were still recuperating in the sect, and the woman's younger brother was also seriously injured by the Fengshen bird.

There is poison on the claws of the Fengshen bird. If it is scratched, it will easily fall into a coma. It will die within three days at most. It is waiting for the antidote. The three of them had to risk their lives to come to Maple Leaf Forest to pick wisteria roots, but now they were detained by these inner disciples of Baihutang.

"That's why, you take me to your village to have a look." Lu Chen said.

With the news of the single Fengshen Bird, he can arrange it calmly, and it is definitely not difficult to catch one.

"Don't go, hand over the wisteria roots." The short and fat inner disciple shouted.

Su Xuan stood in front of that person, and said coldly: "Human life is at stake, how can you disregard human life for a wisteria root? Brother Chen didn't bother to take care of your bird business before, because we were in a hurry, don't show shame. Face, get out!"

The inner disciple blushed with anger: "Do you know who I am? My name is Ling Kaifeng."

"Ling Kaifeng? What is that? You're welcome if you don't leave me." Su Xuan had indeed never heard of the name Ling Kaifeng.

"It's so ignorant, it's ridiculous, Ling Kaifeng's elder brother is an elite disciple of Baihutang, brother Ling Kaihua, a master of the fifth level of the innate realm, what are you?" an inner disciple immediately said provocatively.

"Ling Kaihua, so it's that kid, not to mention Brother Chen, I want to learn from him, let's see what skills he has?" Su Xuan was not polite.

"Let's go, I won't fight with you, and I have to catch the Fengshen bird in a hurry, there is no time to delay." Lu Chen said, waved his hand, and a strong wind entangled, and the few people in front of him involuntarily let go aside.

The three outer disciples followed closely behind Lu Chen.

"If you don't hand over the wisteria roots today, you don't even think about leaving." Ling Kaifeng said loudly.

The eight inner disciples surrounded Lu Chen and others.

The eight of them couldn't stop the elite disciples, but if the elite disciples wanted to defeat the eight of them in one go, they generally couldn't do it. In their view, even if Lu Chen could leave, Su Xuan might not be able to. As for the other three Not to mention outer disciples.

"The mantis arm is like a cart!" Su Xuan snorted, rushed up and punched Ling Kaifeng.

These inner sect disciples were all at the early stage of the Xiantian Realm, and their theoretical realm was weaker than Su Xuan's, and their strength was even worse. Su Xuan punched out, and immediately sent Ling Kaifeng flying.

Everyone's complexion changed drastically, and they retreated one after another.

Su Xuan was obviously someone close to Lu Chen. Even Su Xuan, an inner disciple, had such strength. Although Lu Chen didn't make a move, it was conceivable that he must be stronger. Several people immediately retreated.

"Let's go together." Ling Kaifeng snapped.

Everyone's expressions tightened, and they had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward under the pressure of Ling Kaifeng.
