"There is no other way. In fact, don't worry too much. Even if you can't complete the task, what if you are demoted to an ordinary inner disciple? People have far-reaching ambitions, why should they care about temporary ups and downs?" Lu Chen said.

Having said that, things can't be given up until now. If the task can be completed, it will be a good thing after all.

Lu Chen and Su Xuan left Shandong and walked into the depths of the Maple Leaf Forest. This place can be regarded as a beautiful place. Various beasts of the fourth and fifth levels of the Innate Realm can occasionally be seen, but with their strength, As long as they don't encounter situations such as large wolves, Fengshen bird groups, etc., ordinary monsters are easy to deal with.

In the afternoon, Lu Chen still hadn't found a single Fengshen bird. As he was walking, he suddenly heard a quarrel.

"Someone." Lu Chen followed the voice, and after a while, he came to an open meadow.

There are birds singing and flowers here, and there is a smell of herbs in the air, which is refreshing and refreshing.

On the edge of the grass, a dozen people were arguing about something.

"It's my disciple." Su Xuan said.

These people wore sect costumes, and at a glance, it could be seen that they were disciples of the Nebula Sect, and they must have come here to experience.

Among them were eight inner sect disciples and three outer sect disciples wearing blue clothes. The eight inner sect disciples were surrounding the three outer sect disciples. The three were obviously weak and were arguing fiercely.

Lu Chen saw that one of the outer disciples was holding a purple herb in his hand. It was a wisteria root, a top-grade elixir, which had the effects of restoring vitality, prolonging life, promoting blood circulation and sparse meridians. It could be regarded as a relatively precious medicine.

Listening to the arguments of these people, it seems that it is because of that wisteria root.

"Hey, why are there still people?" Suddenly someone noticed that Lu Chen was standing in the distance.

"It's from the Xuanwu Hall." Someone said.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Chen and Su Xuan, the three outer sect disciples seemed to suddenly gain confidence, and ran directly to Lu Chen, saluting respectfully: "Are you the senior brother of Xuanwu Hall? We are affiliated to Xuanwu Hall. The disciples of the outer hall, these inner disciples of the White Tiger Hall want to **** our herbal medicines. Please also ask senior brothers to uphold justice.”

The current Nebula Sect is actually divided into several factions. Due to the clear distinctions between the four disciples of Qinglong White Tiger and Suzaku Xuanwu, the internal and external forces to which they belong are also divided. Under normal circumstances, outer disciples must obey their own divisions. The order of the elite disciples and elders of the church.

Although these three people did not know Lu Chen, the Xuanwu Hall logo on Lu Chen's clothes had already indicated his identity. According to the unwritten rules of the sect, elite disciples had certain rights to command the outer disciples of their halls, and had the right to command. Of course, they are also obliged to safeguard the interests of their branch disciples.

It would be inappropriate for Lu Chen to leave his hands like this.

However, Lu Chen was really too lazy to meddle in his own business.

The other eight inner disciples of White Tiger Hall saw that Lu Chen did not speak, but stared at Lu Chen and the two of them with hostility. It was only because of the status of Lu Chen's elite disciples that they did not dare to be rude for the time being, otherwise they would have already scolded them.

"What's going on?" Lu Chen asked lightly.

He walked forward, and was busy catching the Fengshen bird. He didn't have time to spend on these people, and he didn't mean to stop.

When the three outer disciples saw that Lu Chen didn't want to take care of things, one of the women said anxiously: "Senior brother, this wisteria root is the herb we use to save our lives. My brother was scratched by the wind **** bird and is waiting to use the wisteria root to save his life. , so the three of us ventured here, and luckily, we picked up a wisteria root, but these people from Baihutang wanted to **** our herbs. This is literally killing people."

The woman's tone was very fast, afraid that Lu Chen would be impatient, so she spoke quickly.

These three outer sect disciples only had the cultivation level of the acquired Jiuzhong, but they dared to break into the Maple Leaf Forest, and they were bold enough.

This is the habitat of the Fengshen bird. Even if the elite disciples came here, they would have to take certain risks. The inner disciples only dared to break in in groups of eight.

But these three people's cultivation base is low, and they dare to rush in. They are gambling with their lives. It can be seen that they really need this wisteria root.

"Fart! We discovered this wisteria root a month ago. At that time, we wanted to wait for the wisteria root to bloom and bear fruit, but the bitter fruit was picked by you before it had grown. It's really hateful." reprimand.

The root of wisteria can bear a kind of fruit called bitter fruit. This kind of spiritual fruit tastes very bitter, but it can clear the mind and calm the mind. Taking it during practice can reduce the risk of going crazy. It is very expensive in the market.

A male disciple said: "This is in the wild, and whoever can pick it up depends on luck. You said you found it a month ago, why didn't you pick it at that time? If you found it first, then I would have found the entire maple leaf long ago. Forest, can it be said that the whole forest is mine?"

"Boy, you are courting death!" The disciples of the White Tiger Hall were furious.

The three outer sect disciples said to Lu Chen, "Senior brother, these people are too unreasonable. Please decide on this matter."

Lu Chen kept watching these people arguing, and said, "Wisteria root is a wild thing, of course whoever gets it first will get it. If there is a dispute, this kind of thing can't be easier, just go back and let the elders in the door decide. , why ask me?"

"Yes, yes, what the senior brother said is very true. Let's go back to the sect and let the elders of the outer hall preside over justice." The three Xuanwu Hall disciples said one after another.

Obviously, the three of them have the truth. Even if they return to the sect, the last sect of this wisteria root will still be awarded to them.

Lu Chen said so without offending both parties.

He is naturally not afraid of these internal and external disciples, but there is no need to make enemies everywhere, and of course he can't be too weak, so he looks timid.

"No, it's ours, how can we let the sect judge?" said a short and fat inner sect disciple arrogantly.

As everyone said, they surrounded them.

"Brother Chen, it's getting late, we have to catch the Fengshen bird in a hurry, we don't have to talk to them." Su Xuan said aside.

At this time, the sun has gone down, and the whole maple forest has become dark.

Lu Chen nodded and was about to go out.

The previous female disciple was suddenly overjoyed and said, "Senior brother, are you going to hunt the aeolian bird? In our village, there is an aeolian bird that is raging and endangering people and animals. If the two brothers are willing, I can take you there."

"Oh? Where is your village? Is it a lonely aeolian bird?" Lu Chen asked.

If it is a large group, then catching them will become meaningless. Fengshen birds call each other, attracting a large group at once, which is not something Lu Chen can deal with.

"Yes." The outer sect female disciple briefly explained the matter. It turned out that the three outer sect disciples were from the nearby village. The year before Xing Yunzong came to the village to recruit potential disciples, the three of them became outer sect disciples. . Now there is a Fengshen bird in the village, so the villagers thought of the three of them and sent a message asking them to go back to the village to help hunt the Fengshen bird.

The three of them were regarded as the pride of the whole village, but how could the mere three outer disciples get the Fengshen bird?

The three of them resorted to various methods, set up traps, used iron nets, bows and arrows, fire, and all kinds of means, but the Fengshen bird came and went like the wind and could not be killed at all.

The three of them were ashamed and ashamed, but they had no choice but to ask the sect for help. Their identities simply couldn’t ask for any masters. At most, they could ask the inner disciples they knew to help, but how could ordinary inner disciples help Feng Shenniao, and everyone was rounded up. , not only did not kill the Fengshen bird, but instead caused several people to be injured. Two inner disciples were still recovering from the sect, and the woman's younger brother was also seriously injured by the Fengshen bird.

Aeolus has poisonous claws, and it is easy to fall into a coma if it is scratched, and it will die in three days at most, waiting for the antidote. The three of them had to risk their lives to pick wisteria roots in the Maple Leaf Forest, but now they are being held back by these inner disciples of the White Tiger Hall.

"It turns out that you take me to your village to see." Lu Chen said.

With the news of the Fengshen bird alone, he can arrange it calmly, and it is certainly not difficult to catch one.

"Don't go, hand over the wisteria root." The chunky inner disciple shouted.

Su Xuan stood in front of the man and said coldly: "Life is at stake, how can you ignore the life and death of a wisteria root? Previously, Brother Chen was too lazy to care about your bird affairs because we were in a hurry, so don't give a shit. face, get out!"

The inner disciple blushed with anger: "Do you know who I am? My name is Ling Kaifeng."

"Ling Kaifeng? What is that? You're welcome if you don't get out of here." Su Xuan really had never heard the name Ling Kaifeng.

"It's really ignorant and ridiculous. Ling Kaifeng's eldest brother is an elite disciple of the White Tiger Hall. Senior Brother Ling Kaihua, a master of the fifth level of the Innate Realm, what are you?" An inner disciple immediately provocatively said.

"Ling Kaihua, it turned out to be that kid, not to mention Brother Chen, I want to learn from him and see what he can do?" Su Xuan was rude.

"Let's go, I won't fight with you, and I have to catch the Fengshen bird in a hurry. I have no time to delay." Lu Chen said, with a wave of his hand, a strong wind entangled, and the few people in front of him couldn't help but let in. aside.

The three outer disciples followed Lu Chen closely.

"If you don't hand over the wisteria roots today, you don't want to leave." Ling Kaifeng said loudly.

The eight inner sect disciples surrounded Lu Chen and the others.

The eight of them couldn't stop the elite disciples, but the elite disciples wanted to defeat the eight of them in one go, but they generally couldn't. In their opinion, even if Lu Chen could get away, Su Xuan might not be able to. As for the other three Outer disciples, let alone.

"The mantis arm is the car!" Su Xuan snorted, rushed up, and punched Ling Kaifeng.

These inner sect disciples were all at the early stage of Xiantian realm. In terms of realm, they were weaker than Su Xuan, and their strength was far worse. Su Xuan punched out and immediately sent Ling Kaifeng flying.

Everyone's complexion changed greatly, and they all retreated.

Su Xuan is obviously someone close to Lu Chen. Even Su Xuan, an inner disciple, has such strength. Although Lu Chen didn't take action, it is conceivable that he must be stronger, and some people suddenly retreated.

"Let's go together." Ling Kaifeng shouted sharply.

Everyone's expressions tightened, and under the pressure of Ling Kaifeng, they had to bite the bullet and rush up.
