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

"I want to get some spirit rice, and so do you. Do you have spirit stones? If you have spirit stones, you can enjoy the same treatment as an outer disciple, eating spirit rice to replenish your qi and blood. Even if you don't cultivate, just eating spirit rice every day will improve your cultivation level." The senior brother smiled as he looked at Chen Huai'an.

The saying "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts" is even more pronounced in the world of cultivation.

"Can I buy it with spirit stones? Where can I buy this?" Chen Huai'an asked with interest.

Now that he has cultivated the Elephant Armor Technique, he urgently needs to replenish his qi and blood, and spirit rice is a good choice.

If he could get his hands on spirit rice, he wouldn't eat it; he could simply grow it in his space.

In the purple gourd space, he planted a few medicinal herbs, and there was still a large empty area. If he planted spirit rice there, and watered and tended to it every day, wouldn't he have an endless supply of spirit rice next year?

He can not only grow spirit rice, but also other spirit fruits and plants.

Through chatting with the other party, he learned that the easiest way to obtain spiritual rice and other resources for cultivation was to buy them with spirit stones.

The only other way to obtain it is to become an outer disciple. Every month, the sect will distribute a certain amount of spirit rice for the disciples to eat.

In short, no matter which method you use, becoming an outer disciple is the most direct and easiest way.

When it comes to purchasing supplies, outer disciples can freely enter and leave the sect, while outer disciples who are in charge of miscellaneous tasks are restricted in this way. It's as if their freedom is restricted. Even if you have spirit stones, if you don't have connections or influence, you can't buy the corresponding cultivation resources even if you have money.

Actually, that's not true. How much profit could a menial disciple possibly make? The wealthiest are the outer and inner disciples. If they were to do business, they would do business with the rich, not with the poor.

"Are you planning to leave Qingyun Sect and go to the market town at the foot of the mountain?" the handyman disciple asked Chen Huai'an with a smile.

"If you want to go, as long as you have spirit stones, I have connections to get you out of Qingyun Sect."

"I was just asking out of curiosity. I don't have any spirit stones," Chen Huai'an said with a smile, shaking his head.

Although he really wanted to go, considering his own situation, leaving the sect now was not very realistic.

He has spirit stones, and he also has pills. However, his pills are all top-grade, and his spirit stones are also top-grade. These things are like fire; if you take them out, they will easily attract the attention of villains. He can only keep them for his own cultivation.

Especially with high-grade spirit stones, if you hold a spirit stone while cultivating after taking Body Refining Pills, your cultivation speed will be even faster.

Therefore, even if Chen Huai'an has to work during the day and doesn't have time to cultivate, he can still cultivate much faster than others by cultivating at night.

Chen Huai'an wasn't entirely sure how fast it would be because there was no point of reference.

Back in the kitchen courtyard, Chen Huai'an kept thinking about the spirit rice. He had the purple gourd, but even without spirit rice, ordinary rice would do.

However, whether it is ordinary rice or spirit grain, it can only be found outside the sect or in the Qingyun Mountains.

However, with endless chores to do every day, there's no extra time to search for spiritual plants in the Qingyun Mountains.

"If I were fast enough to finish the task of carrying water in half a day each day, wouldn't I have extra time to do the things I like?" Chen Huai'an muttered to himself.

During this period, Chen Huai'an was also observing. He hadn't gone all out yet, so if he really had this idea, it wasn't impossible to achieve.

Every water carrier had the same task. Unless they were very close, they all looked after their own interests and did nothing to help others.

It's not that they're unwilling to help, but rather that they're only able to complete their own tasks and are already exhausted, so they really don't have the capacity to help others.

Therefore, Chen Huai'an still needs to find a way to get along well with Manager Wu and Old Man Li. If he can get along well with them, they will turn a blind eye to his disputes over the water-carrying task, and he will have the opportunity to go down the mountain to stroll around the market.

Just as Chen Huai'an was looking for time to get some spiritual plants, Zhang Hu's disappearance still caught the attention of the steward on the miscellaneous servants' peak.

Because he had been missing for a day and had not completed his mission, the supervisor ordered a search for Zhang Hu. However, Zhang Hu had already disappeared, and there was no one at his residence.

If Zhang Hu were just an ordinary handyman disciple, he would simply disappear. The sect has tens of thousands of handyman disciples; it's impossible for them to turn the entire sect upside down just because of one person.

However, the Zhang family still held a certain position within the Qingyun Sect, with several outer and inner disciples within the clan. When the outer disciples of the Zhang family learned of this, they ordered a thorough investigation to find out where Zhang Hu had gone.

Chen Huai'an had no idea about this.

However, even if he finds out, what can he do? This matter must be kept strictly confidential; not a single word can be leaked.

During dinner that evening, Chen Huai'an unexpectedly heard news about Zhang Hu.

Because the Zhang family took this matter very seriously, they inquired everywhere about Zhang Hu, and the news eventually reached the cafeteria.

"Damn it, Zhang Hu's status on the Miscellaneous Service Peak of Qingyun Sect is extraordinary. If it attracts the attention of the higher-ups on the Miscellaneous Service Peak, then things will be terrible." Chen Huai'an left the canteen with a heavy heart. He hadn't even eaten his fill today.

The aftermath of the Zhang Hu incident is unfolding. If the Zhang family is powerful enough, it won't be long before they find out about him.

Zhang Hu's henchmen, and Zhang Long from the Zhang family, these guys must die. Only when they are dead will no one know the secret of the spiritual spring water.

Especially Zhang Long, Chen Huai'an didn't know what Zhang Hu, that dead bastard, had said to Zhang Long.

With his current strength, killing Zhang Long would be a very simple matter. What he needs to consider is how to eliminate the other party without anyone noticing.

But the key issue is that Zhang Long and Zhang Hu are different.

Zhang Long's talent is better than Zhang Hu's. If he dies, neither the Zhang family nor the Qingyun Sect will stand idly by.

Zhang Long has good talent, with a superior spiritual root. If he doesn't perish along the way, he will definitely be able to enter the inner sect of Qingyun Sect. Such a genius is capable of establishing his foundation.

Wang Tong, a menial disciple, has been dead for some time, but no one in the sect cares. Such people are just cannon fodder; once they die, they're gone. But it's different for people with backgrounds and connections.

This also made Chen Huai'an realize a problem: when he had to take action, he couldn't leave any loopholes. Anyone who had any connection or relationship with this matter had to be dealt with, rather than leaving himself a time bomb.

We shouldn't wait for trouble to come knocking, but rather devote all our efforts to nipping any potential crisis in the bud.

"Zhang Long took my spot, so he doesn't need to complete any tasks for the next month. If it were me, I would definitely go all out to break through to a higher realm during this time. The Qingyun Sect cultivates talent through a survival-of-the-fittest method, much like raising Gu poison. The better Zhang Long performs, the more valued he will be by the sect. He shouldn't have been in contact with anyone else in the Zhang family during this time. This might be my opportunity." Chen Huai'an was quickly thinking of a solution.

Regarding the crisis brought about by Zhang Hu's death, as long as those who had contacted or met with him are dealt with, he will have some breathing room.

"Zhang Long lives in that area. This is a bit of a headache!" Chen Huai'an rubbed his head. He was a bit troubled. The idea was good, but putting it into practice would be fraught with difficulties.
