Chapter Twelve: Enemies Meet

  Weiran Residence, a comprehensive trading hall within Xuanji City, managed by two outer sect disciples.

  This trading post is not a private enterprise of some individual, but a public shop set up by the Tianxuan Sect to facilitate free buying and selling of various cultivation materials for self-cultivating disciples, including spirit symbols, spiritual herbs, elixirs, magical treasures, etc.

  Two outer sect disciples are stationed here, responsible for maintaining order and handling transaction disputes between self-cultivating disciples. This is also a task entrusted by the sect, lasting for one year, after which two other outer sect disciples will come to take over.

  That is to say, even if it's an outer door disciple, it's impossible to just focus on cultivation with their head down, they also need to complete some specific tasks assigned by the sect regularly, and experience all aspects of life before their state of mind can keep up with the growth of their cultivation.

  Mental state and self-cultivation are complementary to each other.

  Today, in a private room at Weiranju, three young people sat drinking and chatting.

  Two of them were slightly older, seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing white Taoist robes with a silver thread at the collar, and should be two outer door disciples in charge of this place.

  Another person was only fourteen or fifteen years old, with a clear and elegant appearance, but at this moment, he had a completely fawning expression, and his words were somewhat cautious.

  If Su Che had come here, he would have recognized at a glance that this young man was Jiang Chen, who had secretly calculated 'himself' in his memory.

  Jiang Chen swallowed the Red Flame Fruit alone and returned to Xuanji City in a hurry. At the first opportunity, he handed over this valuable spiritual herb to the sect and exchanged it for a large amount of contribution points, as well as an additional reward of 200 low-grade spirit stones.

  With the spiritual stone, not only can he buy enough elixirs to help him condense his true energy, but he also has a surplus to show respect to the two outer door disciples of the Wei Ran Residence, which is equivalent to pulling in connections ahead of time. After formally entering the sect, there will be people who can support him as well.

  Originally, these two outer disciples didn't think much of Jiang Chen, a self-taught disciple. However, considering that this kid would soon be formally accepted as a disciple, and the relationship between master and apprentice was inevitable anyway, they decided to accept his respects, effectively pulling him into their little circle ahead of time.

  The outer disciples of the Tianxuan Sect number as many as two million, among them, there must be countless small cliques, small circles, and small factions. This is human nature, it's the same everywhere, nothing to be surprised about.

  At this time, the slightly fatter outer door disciple was proudly boasting of his great achievements. Jiang Chen's eyes were rolling, and his expression was rich. He was amazed for a moment, and then he flattered him greatly. His flattering skills had some fire power.

  At the tender age of fourteen, she already has such a mind, it's unknown whether it's innate or acquired through experience.

  They were chatting when someone outside the door reported: "Two masters, there is a self-cultivating disciple named Su Che, who says he wants to see Master Jiang Chen."

  The young man who reported outside the door was also a self-taught disciple, working in Weiran House to earn contribution points for his sect. This job had no danger and was more suitable for young people who had just arrived in Xuanji City, with a bone age of only twelve or thirteen years old, and were under less pressure to be eliminated.

  "Su Che? Impossible!"

  In the private room, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and blurted out in surprise.

  "What's going on?" The slightly chubby outer sect disciple's face turned cold, and he scolded, "What's the big deal about being startled, isn't it just someone looking for you?"

  "Song Shu Shu, it's like this..."

  Jiang Chen reacted extremely quickly and immediately replied: "This person has a grudge against me, but he should be dead by now. How is it possible for him to appear again?"

  "You have a grudge against him, dead man..." It seems that this Song guy is also a cunning fellow. He turned his brain around and guessed something, asking with a slanted gaze: "Is it because you were clumsy and didn't really kill the person, and now he's come after you?"

  "Haha……" Jiang Chen rubbed his forehead and dryly laughed a few times, not planning to argue anything, but just said: "Shifu, actually it's no big deal, that kid doesn't have any background, besides, he can't produce any evidence. At worst, I'll just let him die again sometime."

  "Hey!"

  Song Pangzi curled his lip and smiled, a hint of sinister tone in his smile, as if Jiang Chen's ruthlessness was just to his taste. Perhaps he had nothing better to do and wanted to have some fun, so he shouted at the door: "Then bring him over."

  The young fellow outside the door responded with a "yes" and immediately went off to carry out the order.

  Soon, Su Che was brought into the private room. Seeing the two outer sect disciples, he didn't seem particularly surprised, but instead calmly bowed and greeted them, saying: "Disciple Su Che, greetings to both Master Uncles."

  Song Pangzi and that other eagle-nosed kid didn't even bother to acknowledge Su Che, they just gave Jiang Chen a look, meaning: Take care of him, show off your skills.

  Jiang Chen hastily nodded, as if he had received an imperial decree, but when his gaze turned to Su Che, it became icy and ruthless like a knife.

  Jiang Chen's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he only glanced at Su Che, but for some reason, he felt that this guy who should have been a rotting corpse had become somewhat different...

  What's different now?

  Can't say it clearly!

  It seems like...

  It seems I underestimated his strength!

  Could it be...

  Jiang Chen's face changed again, and he turned his head to ask in a low voice: "Song Shifu, his strength..."

  "That's right!" Song Piaozi still had a cold and proud expression, but gave a precise answer: "He is now at the first level of Qi training, what about it, are you surprised?"

  "This, how is this possible!"

  Jiang Chen's body hair suddenly stood on end, and he almost jumped up. After all, he was just a fourteen-year-old kid, and no matter how deep his city was, it was still limited.

  Damn it, he didn't die and even condensed his true energy? If I let him accumulate enough contribution points for the sect and become an outer disciple, will I still have a way to live?

  "What can be done?" Jiang Chen panicked all of a sudden.

  Looking at Su Che again, after entering the door he was calm and composed, his expression natural, not like he had seen a mortal enemy. Until now, he calmly opened his mouth: "Junior Brother Jiang, my identity token is with you, I hope you can return it to me. I came to find you just for this matter."

  "What about the Identity Jade Symbol?" Jiang Chen's face twisted, his expression agitated, as if he was the victim of a despicable plot. He pointed at Su Che and shouted: "You still ask me to return the Identity Jade Symbol, why should I give it back to you?"

  A fourteen-year-old boy's voice was in the midst of a change, and this excitement made it as sharp and piercing as that of a violently startled girl.

  Song Paozi and Eagle Hook Nose smiled with a sneer, but didn't say a word, openly taking on the air of watching a show. However, Su Che could predict that at the crucial moment, they would definitely jump out to make things difficult for him. Just from these two people's eyes and demeanor, it was clear that they weren't good people.

  In fact, the nine spiritual grasses in Su's乾坤bag can be exchanged for enough contribution points to join the sect, and there is still a surplus. Even if he reissues an identity jade symbol, it will not pose any hindrance.

  However, the more than 500 contribution points originally in the Identity Jade Symbol were accumulated by Su Che's previous incarnation after spending over three years and shedding blood and tears. Think about it, starting from the age of eleven, working hard for his ideals, was this easy for a child?

  These contributions, entrust too many of his efforts and expectations, if silently gave up, do not want, even the courage to strive for it does not have, that is too stifling, really owe it to this body had dissipated that a soul.

  Success and failure are two different things; doing something and not doing it are also two different things.

  "Jiang Chen!"

  Su Che's face turned cold, and his tone was no longer polite: "Right or wrong, black or white, we both know in our hearts. Don't say anything else, I just want you to return the identity jade symbol to me. If there is still a bit of human decency left in your chest, it would be best..."

  "Don't even think about it!"

  This time, Jiang Chen really jumped up, waving his arms and shouting hoarsely: "Su Che, you should have died, why did you come back to life? Do you want to be an outer disciple again? You're dreaming! You can't! If you have the ability, then kill me here!"

  Such a depraved and deranged individual is truly beyond salvation! Su Che coldly smiled, no longer wasting his breath on him, and instead turned to Song Pengzi and Ying Gou Bi to pay his respects: "Disciple Su Che, humbly requests that the two Masters take charge of this disciple."

  Su Che's move was also a case of attacking to defend, striking first. According to the sect rules, fellow disciples should respect and love each other, be as close as hands and feet, and even if they picked up someone else's identity token, they should actively return it.

  This is great, Jiang Chen has already implicitly acknowledged Su Che's identity. The jade symbol is in his hands, but he is openly arrogant and unreasonable. So, since there are two masters present, if they don't give Su Che justice, once the news gets out, they will also have to explain themselves and make a reasonable explanation.

  The Tianxuan Sect's orthodox immortal path ultimately requires that all matters, big or small, must be clearly distinguished as right or wrong. At the very least, this is indeed the sect's rules.
