Chapter 22: Mindset

  This chapter has been modified for a long time, so the release time is a bit late.

  ——————

  Zhao Qian couldn't help but burst out laughing and said with a smirk: "Let me tell you, Liu Feng is actually my cousin!"

  Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and the bad feeling in his heart grew heavier. He asked uncertainly, "What does this have to do with the Gathering Spirit Pill?"

  Zhao Qian looked at Yang Chen's appearance, smiled coldly and said: "What does it have to do with you? My cousin, also known as Liu Feng, has now become a cultivator of the first level of Qi gathering. You know he became a cultivator of the first level of Qi gathering in just 3 months, which is the fastest cultivation speed since the establishment of our Tian Dao Gate! Now, within the inner gate, he is extremely popular, and all the disciples in the sect show great respect to him!"

  Yang Chen listened to Liu Feng, who had already become a cultivator of the Gathering Qi realm. He was slightly surprised in his heart and secretly thought: This Liu Feng has actually cultivated spiritual energy so quickly, it seems that talent is indeed important in cultivation!

  He was also a cultivator, and he knew how difficult it was to cultivate spiritual energy. In the outer sect, almost everyone took five years to cultivate spiritual energy, but Liu Feng had only taken three months to cultivate and refine his spiritual energy. This showed just how great the role of good innate talent played in cultivation.

  However, he will not be discouraged by this, but instead, it will stimulate his fighting spirit and make him work harder to catch up with Liu Feng as soon as possible.

  Zhao Qian continued, "Do you know why the three of us are here sweeping this attic? To be honest with you, it was all arranged by my cousin. What do you think he'll say to the elder when he reports back later - who swept cleaner?"

  Yang Chen's face gradually darkened, and at this time he was furious in his heart. He knew that there was no need for Zhao Qian to deceive himself at this time, which also meant that the Jiqi Dan had nothing to do with him.

  Zhao Qian looked at Yang Chen's angry expression, and burst out laughing. He said loudly: "Brother said it, just want to let you taste the feeling of seeing hope, and then having your hopes shattered again! Haha! Are you very angry now? I'll tell you, no matter how angry you are, it's all in vain."

  Then Zhao Qian smiled coldly, with a "I'm a villain" look on his face, leaned his face towards Yang Chen and said: "Feeling uncomfortable? If you're feeling uncomfortable, hit me, I'll let you vent!"

  Yang Chen took a deep breath and didn't plan on arguing with Zhao Qian anymore. He turned around and walked away to the side.

  He knew that even if he lost his temper now, it would be useless. Moreover, once he lost his temper, Zhao Qian would definitely seize the opportunity to make things difficult for him, and with Liu Feng's interference, his days in Tiandao Gate would become even more difficult.

  However, this does not mean that Yang Chen has given up. He is not the kind of person who admits defeat. This time he was caught off guard and had nothing to say for himself, but he will not give up. He believes that as long as he works hard, everything will change.

  Zhao Qian burst out laughing and said, "Do you think that challenging my brother in the mountain just now is the end of it? Let me tell you, this is only the beginning! From now on, your days will be even more difficult. I advise you to leave Tian Dao Men as soon as possible after you return, because this place is not suitable for someone like you."

  Yang Chen glanced at Zhao Qian, half-closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then directly closed them. Since he couldn't see it, he wouldn't be bothered. It was impossible to make him leave the Tian Dao Gate.

  Even if Liu Feng had forgotten what happened at the foot of the mountain and didn't plan to find trouble with Yang Chen, Yang Chen wouldn't let him off. After all, the most important person in Yang Chen's life was his father, and now that his father had been beaten, how could he just let it go?

  Now with this added, the grudges between Yang Chen and Liu Feng can no longer be resolved.

  Zhao Qian immediately provoked Yang Chen a few more times, but found that Yang Chen didn't respond to him. Feeling bored, he coldly laughed and walked away, no longer paying attention to Yang Chen.

  So the two of them stood quietly on either side, without saying a word.

  Before long, the person in charge of checking came over with a smile on his face, accompanied by Wang Rui.

  The young man looked at the two of them, his eyes stopping on Yang Chen for a moment, and smiled slightly, saying: "Alright, your mission is now complete. Follow me back now, I will report to the elder as it really happened. When the time comes, the elder will decide whether you have a share of the Gathering Spirit Pill!"

  After finishing speaking, the young man turned around and walked directly towards the distance.

  Wang Rui and Zhao Qian exchanged a smile, looked at Yang Chen with an unyielding gaze, and chased after the young man.

  Yang Chen stood up, the anger on his face had disappeared, replaced by a calm expression.

  His mindset at this time has undergone some subtle changes, from a somewhat immature mindset in the past to becoming more mature.

  Three people followed the young man back along the route they had taken earlier, and before long, the young man led them to the courtyard where they had first met.

  The old man in the courtyard was still lying lazily on a rocking chair, swaying slowly, just like the last time he saw him.

  The young man stood outside the courtyard and bowed respectfully, saying: "I have brought back the three disciples who are responsible for sweeping the attic to report to the elder!"

  The old man with a lazy look in his eyes opened them, looked at Yang Chen and the other two, and asked: "Have you all checked? Which one of the three did the best job sweeping?"

  The young man bowed again, and then, without being noticed, glanced at Yang Chen with a smile on his face, answering the old man: "Reporting to the elder, I have checked all of them one by one. Among these three people, Zhao Qian's sweeping is the best!"

  It's just like Zhao Qian said!

  Yang Chen secretly thought to himself, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes. At this moment, he really wanted to tell the sloppy old man in front of him what Zhao Qian had just told him, but the idea only flashed through his mind for an instant.

  Because he didn't know what kind of person the old man in front of him was, although he said it out loud, it's possible that this old man would handle it impartially, but at the same time, there is also a possibility that he would lean towards Zhao Qian.

  Zhao Qian listened to the young man's words and was overjoyed in his heart. He glanced at Yang Chen with a provocative look.

  Yang Chen seemed oblivious and completely ignored Zhao Qian, just keeping his head down.

  Zhao Qian looked at Yang Chen without responding to him and didn't get angry, instead he felt triumphant in his heart. In his opinion, Yang Chen was now afraid of him.

  An old man with a messy appearance sat up straight, nodded his head, and looked at the three of them saying: "Which one of you is Zhao Qian?"

  Zhao Qian took a step forward, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed to the disheveled old man, saying: "Reporting back to our ancestor, I am Zhao Qian!"

  An old man with a sloppy appearance looked at Zhao Qian and said calmly, "This time, the allocation of the Gathering Spirit Pills has 5 pills in total. You three are responsible for sweeping and got one pill each. Since Zhao Qian swept the best, this pill belongs to you!"

  After finishing speaking, the slovenly old man took out a cyan pill from his own storage bag and threw it directly at Zhao Qian.

  Zhao Qian hastily caught it, carefully put it in his bosom, and excitedly bowed to the old man again, saying: "Thank you, Master, for giving me the medicine!"

  The old man waved his hand lazily and walked down, saying: "After returning, take it and work hard to cultivate, strive to practice the spiritual energy as soon as possible, and become an inner disciple!"

  Zhao Qian bowed his head respectfully and stood up, answering from behind the young man.

  Zhao Qian returned and took out the Jiqi Dan from his bosom, waving it in front of Yang Chen as if to say, "You see that? This Jiqi Dan now belongs to me!"
