Chapter 21 Cleaning Finished

  "Do you remember?" The middle-aged man looked at Yang Chen's frowning face and smiled, saying: "These are some of my insights, take them to heart and they will be of great help to you in your future life and cultivation!"

  The words spoken by the middle-aged man are not very complicated, and anyone with a little knowledge can understand them thoroughly.

  These were naturally no problem for Yang Chen, who had been extremely intelligent since childhood and had also attended a private school, quickly understanding the things that the middle-aged man had spoken.

  Yang Chen's eyebrows relaxed, and he bowed his waist with utmost respect, saying: "Thank you, Elder. Today, I was fortunate enough to receive your teachings, which have greatly benefited me!"

  The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, smiled slightly, and immediately turned around and flew directly outside.

  Yang Chenmu saw off the middle-aged man until he couldn't see the middle-aged man's figure anymore, then he came back to his senses.

  Yang Chen sat down on the chair, took a deep breath, and thought back to the events of this night. He couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, muttering to himself: "If I were to say that I spent the whole night with Master Furnace, and he even taught me some gentlemanly ways, I wonder if anyone would believe me?"

  Yang Chen walked over to the Eight Trigrams Bed and lay down directly on it, preparing to rest for a while.

  Yang Chen is no fool. Although he has been taught the gentleman's way by the elder, it's just some insights on how to be a good person. He won't forget what he should do now because of this.

  What he needs to know now is that the most important thing for him is to do his best in front of him, so as to obtain the Gathering Qi Pill. Only in this way can he have the opportunity to enter the Gathering Qi Realm, otherwise everything else is false.

  After a busy afternoon and a sleepless night, Yang Chen fell asleep quickly on the octagonal bed.

  Yang Chen slept very comfortably and when he woke up, the sun was about to set.

  Of course, being able to sleep so comfortably is closely related to the eight trigrams bed he slept on.

  In this attic, these eight trigrams beds are different from other eight trigrams beds. These eight trigrams beds were specially made by the Tiandao Gate to entertain foreign guests. Each of these eight trigrams beds has a small condensing spirit array, resting on it is equivalent to being in the array at all times, so he can sleep so sweetly.

  Yang Chen stood up, stretched his waist, shook his neck and made a cracking sound.

  "For the sake of the Gathering Qi Pill, I must continue to work hard!" Yang Chen muttered to himself with a determined expression, then picked up the nearby wooden bucket and rag, continuing to sweep.

  In the next 10 days, Yang Chen was busy sweeping and finally on the 11th night, he had completely swept all the attics.

  "Woohoo! Finally finished cleaning everything!"

  Yang Chen lay directly on the ground, took a deep breath, and smiled to himself: "It's about the same as my estimated time, there are still 4 days left, in these 4 days, I can't be idle, I have to re-examine everything again, and make sure it's spotless!"

  Then, Yang Chen rested for a while, got up and started checking every corner, striving to sweep the four pavilions clean, without leaving any dust.

  The 4-day period has passed in a flash, today is already the 15th day.

  The morning sunlight shines into the hall of the attic, with spots and dots giving people a comfortable and relaxed feeling.

  Yang Chen looked around and smiled slightly, nodding his head in satisfaction, muttering to himself: "It's almost there, with this, I should be able to get the Gathering Spirit Pill!"

  At this time, Yang Chen suddenly heard footsteps behind him, and hastily turned around to look back at his own back, only to find that the person behind him was none other than the young man who had originally assigned tasks to him. He immediately bowed down and said: "Senior brother!"

  The young man looked around and nodded in satisfaction, with a hint of a smile on his lips, saying: "Are the four pavilions behind cleaned by you?"

  Yang Chen smiled and nodded slightly.

  The young man smiled and said, "Not bad, it's been cleaned very thoroughly. This time, I might just get an Energy Gathering Pill!"

  Yang Chen listened to the young man's words, and his heart was delighted. He knew that whether he could get the Jiqi Dan or not depended on how this young man would explain things to the slovenly old man. If he said he had done his best, then Yang Chen would definitely be able to get the Jiqi Dan. But if he said he had swept poorly, then Yang Chen's chance at getting the Jiqi Dan would be gone.

  Yang Chen then led the young man upstairs, after all, the inspection couldn't just be limited to the first floor, could it? The second floor also had to be inspected.

  All the way, the young people's mouths were smiling, obviously very satisfied with Yang Chen's sweep.

  It wasn't long before the young man had finished checking everything and then led Yang Chen out of the attic.

  The young man stood in front of the attic door, turned his head and took a look at the attic, with a smile on his face, saying: "Very good, not bad, I will report to the elder as it is!"

  Yang Chen's face lit up with joy, and he smiled slightly, saying: "Thank you, Brother!"

  Young man smiled and said: "Alright, you wait here for a while, after I finish checking the remaining 8 pavilions, I will bring you back to the elder together, and report your merits!"

  After finishing speaking, the young man directly walked towards the attic next door that Zhao Qian was in charge of cleaning.

  Yang Chen watched as the young man walked away, a look of excitement on his face. His hands clenched into fists and he thought to himself: This time I should be able to get the Qi Gathering Pill! As long as I can get the Qi Gathering Pill, I'll be able to become an inner sect disciple. At that point, I'll truly be able to start cultivating!

  The more he thought about it, the more excited Yang Chen became. At this moment, he seemed to have already seen himself entering the inner gate and becoming an inner disciple.

  Half a minute passed, and a figure appeared in the distance, walking towards Yang Chen. Before long, the person had walked up to Yang Chen's face.

  Yang Chen took a look and found that the newcomer was Zhao Qian, who was in charge of sweeping the other 4 attics.

  Zhao Qian walked up to Yang Chen's side and smiled slightly at him, saying: "I heard you're quite good at sweeping?"

  Yang Chen didn't have a good impression of Zhao Qian. Seeing Zhao Qian smile at him, he simply nodded in response and didn't answer him.

  Zhao Qian looked at Yang Chen without responding to his words, not getting angry, but instead a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He leaned in close to Yang Chen's ear and whispered: "Do you think that just because you have the Jizhong Dan, you can definitely get the Juqi Dan?"

  Yang Chen listened to Zhao Qian's words and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

  Yang Chen furrowed his brow, took a step back and created some distance between himself and Zhao Qian, saying: "This Gathering Spirit Pill belongs to whom, our words don't count, in the end it's up to the elder's decision!"
