You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Elder, in this test, I opened up thirty meridians." Chen Huai'an's fists were clenched tightly, making it impossible for the other party to treat him as if he were invisible.

If he misses this opportunity, he will waste a lot of time. He doesn't want to do menial tasks; he wants to focus on cultivating and improving his cultivation level.

Only those who are strong enough to reach a certain level have the opportunity to go home to visit their mothers, instead of being treated like cattle and horses on the miscellaneous servants' peak of the Qingyun Sect.

"What did you say? You opened up thirty meridians?" The elder looked at Chen Huai'an, who was filled with anger, with a mocking expression.

"What qualifications do you have?" The man surnamed Tang shrugged off the enraged Zhang Long and stared coldly at Chen Huai'an.

"I have mixed spiritual roots of the five elements," Chen Huai'an said frankly without hiding it.

He couldn't hide this matter even if he wanted to.

"Haha... What did I just hear? A mixed spiritual root of the five elements? You, a piece of trash with a mixed spiritual root of the five elements, can open up thirty meridians in seven days?" As soon as Chen Huai'an finished speaking, several teenagers in the hall burst into laughter.

The mixed spiritual root of the five elements is recognized as the worst spiritual root. Such a spiritual root can not even cultivate as fast as a low-grade spiritual root. How can such a cultivation speed compare with those disciples with mid-grade and high-grade spiritual roots?

"You say you have a mixed five-element spiritual root? Don't you know that a mixed five-element spiritual root is a trash spiritual root? With your aptitude, let alone opening thirty meridians in seven days, you can't even open one. Do you think you can compare to a genius with a high-grade spiritual root? You piece of trash, get out of my sight right now, or you'll die." The old man surnamed Tang was furious. A piece of trash, actually thinking he was a genius, dared to swagger in front of him.

A terrifying pressure emanated from the old man surnamed Tang, pressing down on Chen Huai'an.

"Thump!"

With a thud, Chen Huai'an, unable to withstand the sudden and terrifying pressure, collapsed to the ground.

Chen Huai'an tried hard to stand up, but the oppressive force was like a mountain pressing down on him. Let alone getting up, even moving was a luxury.

At this moment, Chen Huai'an truly understood what it meant to be an ant.

His strength was considered somewhat accomplished among his generation, but in front of these sect elders, he was like an ant.

No matter how much he struggled and jumped around, if the other party wanted to kill him, they could kill him without even moving, just by releasing a little bit of powerful energy.

The reward for coming in third place in the test was so-so, it was practically worthless compared to his life.

"Elder, I was wrong." Chen Huai'an was a man who could take things in stride. Since the other party was being unreasonable, there was no need for him to anger them further. He would admit his mistake, soften his stance, and save his life first.

Chen Huai'an said "I was wrong" through gritted teeth. He was unwilling, but in the face of absolute power, all resistance was futile. Continuing to resist would only lead to humiliation.

"You're wrong. What did you do wrong?" The old man surnamed Tang withdrew his imposing aura and looked at Chen Huai'an with some surprise.

"Elder, I'm just a useless piece of trash. It's impossible for me to open up so many meridians. There must have been a mistake during the test. I dare not do it again, and I won't argue anymore." Chen Huai'an's head was bowed very low.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The other party has preconceived notions, so no matter how much he explains, it's useless. Even if he insists on getting the test done again, it won't make a difference.

There must be something fishy going on here. His struggles are futile. Judging from the other party's attitude, they simply don't believe what he's saying, nor are they willing to believe it.

Now, Chen Huai'an just wants to get away from this troublesome place as soon as possible.

"It's good that you know your place," the old man surnamed Tang said with a faint smile.

"Do any of you have any objections to the rankings? Those who have no objections can choose a sect mission that suits them. This is a reward from the sect for you."

By making an example of him, the old man surnamed Tang had established his authority, and the others dared not voice any objections. All they could do was obey and follow orders.

Chen Huai'an did not stand up, but lay on the ground like a dead dog. He knew that everything that was about to happen had nothing to do with him.

Although his ranking was taken away, he still had the right to choose the best candidate. But now, he questioned the elder's decision, and the selection of the task was probably none of his business.

Lying on the cold ground, Chen Huai'an felt a chill run down his spine. What is the law of the jungle? This is the law of the jungle.

In the secular world, if you encounter injustice, you can go to the government office to file a complaint and have the opportunity to seek justice for yourself.

But in this lofty world of cultivation, ordinary people like him don't even have a place to reason with others.

If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

As Chen Huai'an had predicted, those who entered the main hall were given priority in choosing their tasks, and the easier, less demanding tasks were all chosen by them.

As for Chen Huai'an, no one paid any attention to him from beginning to end. Only after everyone in the hall had left did Chen Huai'an sheepishly get up from the ground.

"This is an elder who has surpassed the Body Refinement Realm. He is truly strong. When will I be able to reach his level?" Chen Huai'an came out of the main hall and felt that the air outside was fresh.

He suddenly had a feeling: it's good to be alive.

Inside that grand hall, he truly had no doubt that he would be killed by the other party.

He lost his ranking and his priority in choosing tasks; he was really unlucky.

Surrounded by several teenagers, Zhang Long swaggered up to Chen Huai'an.

"Isn't this Chen, the genius who ranked in the top three in the test? Why is he acting like a stray dog?"

"Was it you who did this behind the scenes?" Chen Huai'an looked at Zhang Long, a cold glint in his eyes. It was this bastard who stole his glory and resources.

"Useless trash, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble." Zhang Long said with a mocking expression.

"If it's not you, then who is it? Let me guess, who's behind this? Did Zhang Hu instruct you to scheme against me?" Chen Huai'an ignored the other party's arrogant and smug attitude. Right now, he wanted to find out whether Elder Tang was deliberately targeting him or if someone was behind it all.

Elder Tang was an outer sect elder with a prestigious position, while he was just a menial disciple. This was the second time he had met the other party, and he had no grudges against him and had never offended him. The fact that this person was targeting him now meant that someone must be gossiping behind his back.

Recently, the person he had a grudge against was Zhang Hu, and the person who replaced him was also surnamed Zhang. It's hard not to be suspicious of this.

Zhang Long suddenly approached Chen Huai'an and spoke in a low, cold voice.

"Kid, if you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being ungrateful and offending someone you shouldn't have. Some things don't belong to you; taking them will only bring you death."

"I refuse to believe that you two brothers can control everything in this sect." Chen Huai'an was now certain that Zhang Hu was the one plotting against him.

Similarly, he also knew that the Zhang family had considerable influence within the sect.

He had to be careful since he was being targeted by someone like that.

Although he was unlucky today, with his ranking being stolen, he didn't come away empty-handed.

Zhang Hu of the Zhang family wanted his spiritual spring water, so he must have relied on the power of his family or given Elder Tang a considerable benefit. Otherwise, he would never have been able to leave safely today.

Although there is some injustice, there are still things within the sect that make them hesitant and dare not act recklessly.

"Kid, my cousin asked me to pass on a message to you: hand over that thing, and you can stay in Qingyun Sect. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences," Zhang Long said coldly to Chen Huai'an.
