Cultivation begins with planting techniques

"Why are you stopping me?!"

Zhong Hui immediately turned around and glared at Zhong Jie.

He underestimated his opponent and was knocked unconscious by Li Ye with a wooden stick in the ring, losing all face.

But Zhong Jie won two games in a row. If he hadn't been unlucky in the third game and met a senior brother who was at the eighth level of Ju Yuan, he might have continued to fight.

This contrast was completely contrary to his expectations before the sword fight began.

It even got to the point that Zhong Hui felt a bit jealous and resentful towards his brother, with whom he had always supported each other.

This emotion became even more intense when he saw Zhong Jie receiving the elixir reward.

At this time, he wanted to go and find trouble with Li Ye and have another fight, but Zhong Jie actually stopped him.

How can this be tolerated!
However, looking at his ferocious expression, Zhong Jie just found it a little funny.

Originally, Zhong Ping had heard some gossip from his wife and couldn't stand it anymore so he wanted Li Ye to disappear completely.

But now, compared to Zhong Ping who has only written a few letters so far.

Why did he feel that Zhong Hui was becoming even more hostile to Li Ye?

Zhong Jie said in a deep voice, "Your previous defeat in the arena has already attracted some attention. If you go to fight him again when the disciples are waiting here to claim their rewards, you might be recognized by others..."

"Do you want the story of your defeat in the previous sword fight to spread again?"

"Forehead……"

Zhong Hui's expression froze.

If that were the case, even if he won in the end, I'm afraid his previous embarrassing appearance would spread even more widely.

The anger was relieved a little at once.

Zhong Hui turned his eyes again and couldn't even see Li Ye's shadow.

In this way, the impulsiveness just now naturally lost its target and I calmed down a little.

Zhong Jie smiled and pulled him away until they were far away from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. When the surroundings became quiet, he said lightly:

"You and I are descendants of the Zhong family. With the support of our family, even if we are born with a primordial talent, we may still be able to see it..."

"That Li Ye was just a lucky guy who barely managed to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect. He has no support and can only hang out in the spiritual fields..."

"How could such a character be worthy of our concern, even to the point of risking our own lives and reputations?"

Hearing his words, Zhong Hui's eyes lit up slightly and his expression looked a little better.

But the teeth in his mouth, which had not yet recovered, were still empty, reminding him of the humiliation of his previous defeat.

But he asked unwillingly: "But I have suffered such a great loss, can I just let it go?!"

"Of course we can't just let it go like this..."

Zhong Jie's expression turned cold. "You represent the reputation of our Zhong family. If you were defeated normally, it would be fine. But he knocked my Zhong family member unconscious in this way on the sword fighting stage. This is also a humiliation to our Zhong family!"

"If we don't give him some retribution, how will the other families in the sect view us?"

As he continued speaking, Zhong Hui couldn't help but nod, and finally felt a little better about this brother.

"But there's no need for you and me to personally take action. With the connections we've accumulated within the sect, why would we even bother to fight him..."

As he spoke, Zhong Jie glanced around inconspicuously, lowered his voice, and said a few words to Zhong Hui.

"...In this way, even if we don't show up, we can still bring that brat to ruin!"

"Brother Jie, what you said makes sense. Let's do as you say!"

Hearing this, Zhong Hui's face no longer had a gloomy look on it, and he responded excitedly.

While the two were discussing this privately, they did not notice that the two ordinary-looking insects on their clothes quietly flew away and disappeared.

………………

"As expected of a family member, he finally came up with some reliable ideas instead of just blindly asking for a beating..."

Li Ye muttered with approval.

He spread out his palm, and two little bugs were quietly sitting in his palm, repeating the conversation between the two brothers of the Zhong family to him.

Although he had focused his main energy on farming in the past two years, he had much more money as the mission rewards were settled. Combining the many miscellaneous items he got from the Nineteenth Young Master, he also made some small gadgets.

Due to the limitations of his own cultivation, what he refined were naturally first-level puppets, poisonous insects, talismans and the like.

The second-level formation is relatively stable, and at most some life-saving measures are prepared, and the things on hand have been almost used up.

After all, he never left the sect except for farming. If he didn't need to have more methods to deal with Deacon Pan if he suddenly had a brain attack and needed to be confident enough to deal with him, he wouldn't even need to do this.

It is naturally easy to use it to target the young cultivators from the two innate families.

But praise is praise.

These two guys fought him to the death because of their innate sense of superiority due to their family background.

At this point, losing the ring isn't enough.

He was even prepared to rely on his connections and family power to bribe the disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Garden and the Law Enforcement Hall, secretly plant prohibited spiritual plants in his residence, and then report him to the police to trick him severely.

This was just like when he first met the two brothers of the Zhong family, utilizing the power of the sect system.

If it is really confirmed, Li Ye's life may not be in danger, but at the very least he will not be able to enter the Spiritual Medicine Garden again, and at the worst he will be directly expelled from the Tiantianjian main gate.

This directly threatened his basic foundation of stable farming, but Li Ye was not going to keep them.

………………

One day later.

The two brothers of the Zhong family walked hand in hand and went out of the sect.

However, they had just left the cave and had not walked far when they saw Li Ye coming from the direction of the outer courtyard market among the monks coming and going.

He looked leisurely as he returned to the spiritual medicine garden.

Seeing Li Ye, they both frowned slightly.

"Get around him."

Zhong Jie said calmly.

Since we have already planned to deal with Li Ye and let him know that members of the Zhong family cannot be insulted lightly, there is no need to pay any more attention to this guy.

When they go out and buy the elixir and return, it won't take long before they see him wailing in despair.

That’s when I felt truly refreshed!
And just as they wished, Li Ye seemed to have noticed them. After a brief pause, he changed direction and simply avoided them.

Both parties left quickly.

What they didn't notice was that when they were closest to Li Ye, several small insects quietly crawled out from under his feet, moving at an extraordinary speed, and then silently followed his moving legs, crawled onto their bodies and hid there.

After leaving the sect, the two brothers released a small floating flying boat.

He sped towards the market town where his Zhong family had the greatest influence.

"Humph! Li Ye frowned and left as soon as he saw us. It's like he didn't even take you and me seriously..."

"He only managed to win by chance, yet he dared to act like this? Once I've completed my plan, I'll make sure he's in for a taste of my own medicine!"

On the flying boat, Zhong Hui spoke unhappily.

Even though he had a plan for revenge, it would not be easy for him to let it go until it was achieved.

"Why get angry over this kind of bastard? When he's expelled from the Spiritual Medicine Garden and punished by the sect, you and I will have many ways to deal with someone like him who has no foundation at all!"

"Then I will repay you for everything I have suffered..."

Zhong Jie replied casually, with a cold look in his eyes.

At this time, the two of them had already left the Tianjian Sect's mountain gate. The insects hidden in their clothes also woke up. They crawled to the place where they touched their skin, bit it hard, tore open the flesh, and drilled into the inside.

Soon, clusters of turbid air accompanied by toxins were released, polluting the flesh and blood and disrupting the magic power.

The two brothers' eyes widened at the same time, their magic power went astray, and the pain of their bodies being eroded by toxins broke out, making their expressions distorted.

"what happened--"

Zhong Hui looked terrified and wanted to struggle.

Zhong Jie had already taken out the treasured detoxification pill from his storage bag.

However, the toxins and the pain of being possessed made their bodies uncontrollable, their magic power was running wild, and blood was flowing from all seven orifices.

He couldn't even hold the pill, and fell to the ground with his two brothers, one in front and one behind.

At this point, the flying boat went out of control and fell straight from the sky, leaving a trail on the ground and the hull shattered.

Even though they didn't fly very high, the two brothers of the Zhong family no longer had any ability to protect themselves.

With such a fall, even the flying boat was damaged, so there was no way their flesh and blood bodies could survive.

The body, already infected with the poison, was completely destroyed and died instantly, without a single movement. (End of this chapter)
