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

"Who did this? Who did this?" After taking inventory, although nothing was missing, Chen Huai'an was still very angry.

These people are going too far.

"Stop yelling. Whatever you've lost, yelling won't help." A tall boy rubbed his eyes and said to the furious Chen Huai'an.

"Zeng Fan, do you know who did it? Tell me quickly," Chen Huai'an asked the tall boy.

When Chen Huai'an made that noise, the teenagers who lived in the nearby stone chambers also poked their heads out, looking like they were watching a melon seed.

"I don't know, Brother Chen, did you offend someone?" Zeng Fan frowned, his youthful face showing a maturity beyond his years.

He offended someone? Damn it, he didn't offend anyone. In fact, he was bullied.

Today, while descending the mountain, I was followed. When I returned to my lodgings, my house had been ransacked, turned upside down.

Chen Huai'an was poor to begin with. He only had one set of clothes provided by the sect and no luggage. He was so poor that he was practically penniless. Who would come to his house to steal anything?

Zhang Hu, it must be that bastard Zhang Hu.

This guy is really persistent.

These people were all younger than him, just teenagers. Even if they knew something, they wouldn't dare to say it.

Chen Huai'an asked a few more people, but they also knew nothing, so Chen Huai'an had no choice but to give up.

At the same time, on Zayi Peak, where Zhang Hu lived.

"Didn't you find anything out about that kid?" Zhang Hu asked the two men in front of him.

"Young Master Zhang, I followed this kid for half a day but didn't find anything useful. He just went down the mountain to take a bath and then went back to his residence." Wang Tong frowned.

Zhang Hu looked at the other man and quickly said, "I didn't find anything at his place either. He was dirt poor; there wasn't a single thing of value there."

"That spiritual spring water, is it really gone?" Zhang Hu frowned.

He drank that jar of spiritual spring water, and it felt like he had eaten several low-grade body-refining pills. If he had drunk more, his cultivation would definitely have improved, and breaking through to the second level of body refinement would have been a piece of cake.

"I don't know. Today I went with him to take a bath in the river at the foot of the mountain, and then we came back. We didn't go anywhere else on the way." Wang Tong frowned.

If such a sacred spring truly exists, they too can benefit from it.

"Looks like we have to teach this guy a lesson and find out where this spiritual spring comes from." Zhang Hu frowned. According to their Zhang family's information, wherever there is a spiritual spring, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is relatively rich. He has already encountered a bottleneck. If he wants to break through, he can either take pills or find a place with rich spiritual energy to cultivate in seclusion.

He was just a menial disciple, not an outer disciple, and didn't have his own mountain to cultivate on. The menial peaks, places rich in spiritual energy, were all occupied; he couldn't possibly take them even if he wanted to.

Even if an unclaimed spiritual spring doesn't produce any spiritual water, the surrounding spiritual energy must be very rich. Such a treasure land must be utilized.

A small jar of spiritual spring water might not mean much to some high-level cultivators, but for these resource-scarce outer sect disciples, it's an invaluable treasure that they'd fight tooth and nail to obtain.

The sect has a spiritual spring, but the daily output of this spring is recorded, and even the disciples guarding it cannot take it for themselves.

However, some unclaimed spiritual springs are not included in this category. As long as you have the ability, you can occupy them and they will be yours, provided that you can protect them.

"I'm at a crucial point in my breakthrough right now. I don't care what method you use, you absolutely must find out where this spiritual spring is. Once it's done, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits," Zhang Hu said, looking at the two of them.

"Young Master Zhang, don't worry. I've found out that this guy is a useless mixed spiritual root, just a piece of trash. If he doesn't reveal the location of the spiritual spring, we'll kill him." Wang Tong gritted his teeth fiercely.

If Chen Huai'an hadn't spoken up, he would have given him a good beating, and he would have immediately behaved.

Chen Huai'an sat on the simple wooden bed, unable to calm down, his right eyelid twitching incessantly.

In Huai Shu Village, Su Daqiang attacked him without warning, simply because he and Su Wanying were engaged since childhood, and the other party wanted to kill him.

Although he didn't know the reason, he didn't want to experience something like this a second time. His fate could only be in his own hands, not by hoping for some people to have mercy on him.

He already knew the source of the crisis, and he had to confront the solution directly instead of waiting to die.

The other party has already come to the house, and they haven't found what they wanted. These bastards will definitely not let this go.

Chen Huai'an clenched his fists tightly.

In short, he was simply too weak. If he were strong enough, he would have killed these people who dared to scheme against him like this.

To gain a foothold on Zayi Peak, one still needs a powerful backer. With a powerful backer, one need not fear being targeted by others.

But the key issue now is that he is too incompetent, the worst of the worst in their eyes. He can't prove himself, and no one on the Miscellaneous Service Peak is willing to take him in as a follower. Finding a backer is simply a pipe dream.

A figure appeared in Chen Huai'an's mind: Qin Xianzi from the inner sect. He had joined the Qingyun Sect as a menial disciple because of her. If he could get her protection, he wouldn't be able to walk around freely on the outer sect menial peak, but no one would dare to cause him trouble.

The problem is that he is located on the Miscellaneous Service Peak, and he can't even enter the outer sect, let alone the inner sect. How can he seek the other party's protection?

The road appeared as soon as it was blocked.

Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?

Chen Huai'an didn't want to sit and wait to die.

"Damn it, let's go for it. Rather than sitting here and waiting to die, we might as well take the initiative." Chen Huai'an gritted his teeth.

Since they couldn't win in a fight, they had to think of other ways.

Chen Huai'an's mind raced. To get through this crisis, the best approach was to use someone else to do the dirty work.

But whose knife should we borrow? We need to plan this carefully.

On Zayi Peak, apart from a few fellow disciples living nearby, Chen Huai'an didn't know many people, and there was almost no one who could help him.

Chen Huai'an did not rest that night, and continued to cultivate by drinking spiritual spring water.

We must seize the time to improve our capabilities; relying on ourselves is worse than relying on others.

After a night of cultivation, Chen Huai'an opened another meridian, and the flow of spiritual energy into his body became smoother. He was one step closer to opening all the meridians for the first level of body refinement.

The next morning, as soon as Chen Huai'an stepped out, the figure that had been following him the day before was seen loitering nearby again.

To Chen Huai'an's quiet relief, Zhang Hu, a master of the Body Refinement Realm, did not appear; instead, his henchman came.

This person probably hasn't broken through to the first level of Body Refinement. He's probably like him, with some of the blocked meridians in his body opened up. He's strong, but not much stronger than him. He has a chance to fight back.

At present, what Chen Huai'an needs to do is to eliminate Zhang Hu's henchmen. This matter must not be known to anyone; it must be done without anyone noticing.

Within the sect, if something happens, the blame will fall on him, but it's a different story when he's out in the wilderness.

Having figured out the key point, Chen Huai'an prepared to go down the mountain.

Only outside could he have the opportunity to strike.

"Kid, you actually dare to go out? It's like you're choosing the path to hell when there's a way to heaven." Wang Tong laughed as soon as he saw Chen Huai'an come down the mountain at this critical moment.
