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

"That old bastard really holds a grudge against me." Chen Huai'an noticed a little tail following him quietly when he was having his meal.

Old Man Li didn't follow him cautiously; it would be an understatement to say he did so openly and honestly.

With no servants or disciples around to fetch water, dealing with Chen Huai'an, this good-for-nothing, would be a piece of cake for him.

"Huh, why did this guy stop? Did he spot me?" Old Man Li suddenly noticed that Chen Huai'an in front of him had stopped, and he was a little puzzled.

But this is just right, as he doesn't need to find a shortcut to intercept the other side.

Right now, there's no one around, so it's the perfect time to deal with this guy.

"Chen Huai'an, you piece of trash, you never thought you'd end up in my hands today, did you?"

Chen Huai'an looked at the belatedly arriving old man Li and said with a smile, "Old man, why did it take you so long to catch up?"

Old Man Li stared wide-eyed at Chen Huai'an with disbelief. Was this still the same submissive, timid, and useless person with mixed spiritual roots that he knew?

Now that he's not in the backyard of the canteen, without those water carriers and errand boys, and without Manager Wu around, what gives him the right to be so arrogant?

"Kid, do you really think that just because Manager Wu and the others are backing you up, I won't dare to do anything to you?" Old Man Li was truly enraged.

"If you want to make a move, then make a move. Let me see just how useless you really are, this piece of trash who has only broken through to the late stage of Body Refinement after nearly sixty years of cultivation." Chen Huai'an smiled faintly.

This person is indeed in the late stage of Body Refinement, but his blood and qi have already declined. In this life, unless he has some heaven-defying opportunity, he will never be able to break through to the Qi Refinement stage.

Having spent so much time on the Miscellaneous Service Peak, he is no longer the novice who just started and knew nothing.

Older disciples like Li, who were just doing odd jobs, would only bully the newcomers. As for those with real strength, they wouldn't dare to mess with them at all.

They dared not provoke any of the geniuses on the Spirit Ranking.

If Old Man Li were a genius ranked in the top 100 of the Spirit Ranking, no, in the top 500, he wouldn't speak to the other party in such a tone. If he met the other party, he would keep a low profile until he broke through to the late stage of Body Refinement.

"You're asking for it." Old Man Li's face turned bright red. He was actually looked down upon by a junior like Chen Huai'an. If word got out, how could he ever work in the cafeteria again? He might as well just apply to go home and retire.

Seeing that Old Man Li was angry, Chen Huai'an did not make the first move, but stared at him warily.

He can't kill this old man Li yet; he just needs to defeat him and teach him a lesson.

Similarly, when Chen Huai'an first arrived at the cafeteria, he was determined to get revenge for all the humiliation he had suffered at the hands of Old Man Li.

Without wasting words, Old Man Li stomped his foot on the ground and then smashed a huge fist toward Chen Huai'an's face.

With his strength at the seventh level of the late stage of Body Refinement, dealing with Chen Huai'an, a piece of trash at the third level of the early stage of Body Refinement, would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it? Today, he's determined to beat him so badly that even his own parents wouldn't recognize him, and incidentally, steal his salary for this month.

"Bang!"

As Old Man Li moved, Chen Huai'an also moved, throwing a punch to meet the opponent's fist head-on. With a loud bang, Old Man Li's body couldn't withstand the explosive force from Chen Huai'an's fist and was sent flying backward.

"Pfft!"

As soon as Old Man Li landed, he coughed up a mouthful of blood with a "pfft" sound, and his life force instantly weakened.

In their first encounter, Chen Huai'an severely injured Old Man Li with a single blow.

"You're at the late stage of Body Refinement? Impossible, impossible! You can't possibly be at the late stage of Body Refinement!" Old Man Li shouted repeatedly, as if he had gone mad.

Just as Old Man Li was momentarily distracted, Chen Huai'an moved, kicking him again and knocking him to the ground. Before the old man could get up, Chen Huai'an stomped his foot on his face.

With just a little effort, Chen Huai'an could crush the old man's head.

Only now did Old Man Li realize that he had lost, lost miserably, and had actually been defeated by a junior who had only been a student for a little over a month.

Rumor has it that this guy, who has mixed spiritual roots of the five elements, is the worst of the worst in the cultivation world. How could he have such a terrifying cultivation speed and strength?

His self-cultivation over the years has truly gone to the dogs.

"Old man, have you thought about how you want to die?" Chen Huai'an stared coldly at Old Man Li, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Old Li sensed the murderous intent in Chen Huai'an's eyes. He knew he had really kicked a hornet's nest today. He hadn't lived enough yet, and he didn't want to die.

However, Chen Huai'an was stronger than him. He couldn't escape even if he wanted to. He was already injured and was being controlled by Chen Huai'an. Now, if the other party wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as killing an ant.

At this moment, Old Man Li was truly terrified. Countless thoughts raced through his mind. He was also filled with endless regret: why had he provoked Chen Huai'an, that freak?

"You can't kill me, you can't kill me."

Old Li's voice was hoarse, filled with endless panic and fear; he really didn't want to die.

"Oh, you're saying I can't kill you? Why can't I kill you? Give me a reason why I won't kill you." Chen Huai'an's face was full of sarcasm.

"I..." Old Man Li opened his mouth, but he stammered. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words. He couldn't think of any reason why Chen Huai'an would not kill him.

"I can help you fetch water and do chores. From now on, I will be your most loyal dog. Please don't kill me. I have elderly parents and young children to support. I can't die. My Li family line can't end."

The more Old Man Li spoke, the less sense he felt. But under the threat of death, all he wanted was to survive.

Whether Chen Huai'an dares to kill him is something he really doesn't dare to gamble on, nor can he afford to. At his age, he is truly afraid of death.

"Spare you, it's not impossible." Chen Huai'an hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind. He wasn't the kind of person to kill. Old Man Li was just a poor wretch. Killing him wouldn't bring him much profit, and it would only cause him trouble.

But things are different now. We spared the other party, and he was given the task of fetching water in the backyard of the cafeteria. This way, he would have plenty of time to cultivate.

Even if he doesn't get a good ranking in the challenge, he won't suffer any loss.

Why not get free labor for free?

"Young Master Chen, as long as you don't kill me, I, Li Fugui, will be your most loyal dog." Old Man Li quickly pledged his loyalty. As long as he could save his life, everything would be fine.

He never expected that Chen Huai'an, at such a young age, would be so strong. Now, he was going to be Chen Huai'an's slave and serve him like a beast of burden.

It really is true that fortunes change, and things can change drastically in a few years. Don't underestimate a young person's potential.

"Remember what you said. I'm entrusting you with those two vats of water. If you dare to try anything funny, I'll kill you." Chen Huai'an said coldly.

"Young Master Chen, don't worry, from now on, I'll take care of your water-carrying duties." Li Fugui nodded vigorously. As long as he could live, he was willing to do anything.

"Helping me fetch water is no problem, but I don't want the other handyman disciples to know about it," Chen Huai'an said after thinking for a moment.

He couldn't openly and honestly ask Old Man Li to help carry water; he didn't want to disrupt this bad practice. Old Man Li's current situation was entirely his own fault.

"Young Master Chen, don't worry, this old man knows what he's doing and won't let anyone else know," Old Man Li quickly assured him.

Chen Huai'an nodded, then turned and left.

With Old Man Li's problem resolved, she no longer needs to worry about anyone bothering him while he fetches water in the backyard of the canteen, and he can now focus on his cultivation.
