This time, Elder Lingxin was a little interested in this shy disciple. "This disciple of yours is quite capable. How did you manage to keep the medicinal fire burning for six hours?"
"Elder, my cultivation is low and I don't have enough spiritual essence. It's beyond my ability to hold on for three days and three nights. However, after studying it carefully, I found that the Fire-gathering Array on the medicinal cauldron was somewhat lacking. Therefore, I took the initiative to fix the flaws in the array. Please forgive me, Elder, "Chu Chen replied respectfully.
"Oh? I didn't know that you were an expert in array formations. " Elder Lingxin was very surprised. She walked to the side of the medicinal cauldron and looked carefully. Indeed, she found that there were a few more crooked scratches on the side of the medicinal cauldron where the array was engraved. It was as if an ignorant child had taken a knife and carved randomly on the wood. She couldn't tell that it had anything to do with the Fire-gathering Array.
However, these few crooked and childish scratches obviously made the spiritual power flowing in the entire medicinal cauldron smoother and more thorough. It was as if they had just unblocked the flaws and blocked areas of the array.
"Where did you learn this ability from?" Elder Lingxin thought highly of this disciple of hers again. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I have to learn some array formations passed down in my family. I only know a little about them. Please don't laugh at me, Elder," Chu Chen laughed. In fact, after he activated his spiritual perception, he keenly found that there were a few places where the spiritual power flowing in the medicinal cauldron was not flowing smoothly. Therefore, he made a few deep scratches on the medicinal cauldron to unblock the blocked areas.
It was known that Chu Chen's spiritual perception and consciousness were above the Guru Level.
"Okay. You can try to work here for a month this month. This pot of Spiritual Medicine Cleansing Soup is boiled well. Here, this is your reward. "As the beautiful Elder spoke, she threw a small bottle, which Chu Chen caught.
He opened the bottle and took a look. A strong medicinal fragrance filled the air. It was a first-grade ordinary Spirit-gathering Herb!
"Many thanks, Elder!" Chu Chen was overjoyed. Ordinary Level-One Spiritual Medicine was much better than the Level-One Spiritual Medicine that he had used before. Elder Lingxin was indeed a Grandmaster of Alchemy. She was so generous! She had only decocted the medicine for three days, and she had obtained such a bottle of elixir.
"Alright, you must be tired these past few days. Go back and have a good rest. Come back tomorrow at this time to help … I still have the same words. As long as you do your job well, you won't be mistreated here! "The beautiful Elder waved her hand coldly, indicating for Chu Chen to leave immediately.
Chu Chen wasn't sure if it was because he had been refining medicine for three days in a row, but when he returned to his courtyard, he found himself fanning the fire in the cauldron in his dreams. What was worse was that he fanned the fire very seriously and happily.
"Is Chu Chen here?"
The sleepy Chu Chen opened the door of the hut and found a young girl in yellow clothes standing in the courtyard. This young girl had a kind of arrogance that looked down on everything.
"Come with me. Eldest Senior Brother wants to see you."
The young girl in yellow clothes was Yao Jinghai's personal maid. Relying on Yao Jinghai's power, she didn't take any of the outer disciples seriously. She always had a high and mighty appearance. When she entered Chu Chen's courtyard, she seemed to be condescending and had a look of reluctance.
Chu Chen didn't expect Yao Jinghai to find him so quickly. The matter of him killing Yao Long shouldn't be exposed so quickly.
Chu Chen "calmly" followed the young girl to the "Purple Sea" halfway up the mountain. This was a boundless purple bamboo forest.
The purple Qi emitted by the purple bamboo was extremely beneficial to cultivators. Every piece of purple bamboo was expensive, and a large patch of purple bamboo was even more so.
Biquan Xianzong deliberately let Yao Jinghai live in the "Purple Sea". Obviously, he valued him very much.
As soon as he entered the "Purple Sea", Chu Chen saw an imposing young man in white robes with a jade crown on his head. He held a chess record in one hand and slowly placed a piece on the chessboard with the other.
The expression on his face was very kind, and he looked like a gentle scholar. However, every time he placed a piece, the space around him would be pulled once.
"Hum! Hum! Hum!"
He suddenly placed three pieces on the chessboard. The entire "Purple Sea" trembled. The purple bamboo forest was like a continuous wave. The purple bamboo leaves that filled the sky constantly danced.
Chu Chen suddenly felt the blood and Qi in his body surge. There was an indescribable feeling of discomfort. He immediately concealed his spirit and opened his spiritual sense to protect his soul.
After a moment, Yao Jinghai slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Chen with some surprise. He placed three pieces in a row. His intention was to use the pressure of the spatial fluctuations to make Chu Chen kneel on the ground.
Unexpectedly, Chu Chen just stood there with an unsightly expression. His body only swayed a few times.
Given Yao Jinghai's realm and status, he naturally couldn't make things difficult for a low-status Spirit Qi Realm disciple. He slowly put down the ancient book in his hand.
"I heard that you've already collected this month's medicine."
"Thank you for your concern, Eldest Senior Brother," Chu Chen said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"I heard that you lost your sect sword?" Yao Jinghai had a faint smile on his face as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Thank you for your concern, Eldest Senior Brother. When I was sick some time ago, a wild dog came out of nowhere and took it away."
As soon as Chu Chen said that, although Yao Jinghai still had a smile on his face, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Chu Chen clearly knew that he had sent someone to throw away his sect sword, yet he still dared to speak rudely to him.
"Chu Chen, I think you'd better leave the Biquan Xianzong as soon as possible. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't just lose your sword, but …"
At this moment, Yao Jinghai suddenly emitted a shocking killing intent. Countless bamboo leaves fluttering in the air turned into powder, and a purple storm set off in the entire Purple Sea.
Chu Chen also felt as if a small mountain was pressing down on his shoulders. He gritted his teeth and stood still. "I know that Eldest Senior Brother has always wanted me to leave the sect. It's not impossible for me to leave, but I have a condition."
"What condition?" Yao Jinghai was delighted. This kid was actually willing to relent.
"I want to fight with Eldest Senior Brother in the annual outer sect competition three months later."
"You want to compete for the position of Eldest Senior Brother in the outer sect?"
Yao Jinghai once again sized up the thin young man standing proudly in the center of the storm. He wondered if the rumors were true. Did he really break his head?
"The position of Eldest Senior Brother is just a bonus. Our real bet is that the winner stays and the loser scrums out of the sect!"
Chu Chen said word by word.
"You have to know that competing for the position of Eldest Senior Brother is not an ordinary competition. Even if you are beaten to death or crippled, it won't violate the sect rules." Yao Jinghai looked at Chu Chen as if he was looking at prey.
"I know. May I ask if Eldest Senior Brother accepts my challenge?" Chu Chen asked proudly.
"I accept."
Yao Jinghai stood up and walked quickly towards Chu Chen.
This was a challenge that he couldn't refuse. After getting rid of Chu Chen openly, Tong Meng naturally wouldn't be able to escape.
"Pa!"
A duel oath! The two of them clapped their hands to form an alliance. No one would have thought that the strongest Eldest Senior Brother in the outer sect would make a duel oath with a trash who would forever be stuck in the Spirit Qi Realm.
In fact, this was the result that Chu Chen was pursuing. According to the current development of the situation, Yao Jinghai would make a move on him sooner or later. Yao Long's death could also blow up at any time. By proposing a duel during the annual competition, he had bought himself three months of time.
In three months, would he be able to compete with the unfathomable Eldest Senior Brother in the outer sect?
He could only place his hopes on the mysterious cultivation method from the Black Mist Valley and the Black Mist Valley.
Suddenly remembering that it was almost time for the appointment with Elder Lingxin, Chu Chen didn't care so much and went straight to Elder Lingxin's place.
This time, Elder Lingxin was a little interested in this bashful disciple. "This disciple of yours has some ability. How did you manage to keep the medicinal fire burning for six hours?"
"Elder, this disciple's cultivation is low and his Essence Qi is insufficient. It's really beyond my ability to persist for three days and three nights. However, after studying it carefully, I found that the 'Fire-gathering Array' on the medicinal cauldron has some flaws. Therefore, I took the initiative to patch up the flaws of the array. Please forgive me, Elder, "Chu Chen replied respectfully.
"Oh? I didn't know that you were also an array master. " Elder Lingxin was greatly surprised. She walked to the side of the medicinal cauldron and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, she found that there were a few more crooked scratches on the side of the medicinal cauldron where the array was engraved. It was as if an ignorant child had taken a knife to carve randomly on the wood. She couldn't tell that it had anything to do with the Fire-gathering Array.
However, these few crooked and childish scratches obviously made the spiritual power flowing in the entire medicinal cauldron smoother and more thorough. It was as if it had just dredged up the flaws and blocked areas of the array.
"Who did you learn this ability from?" Elder Lingxin thought more highly of this disciple of hers. She couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I have to learn some arrays passed down in my family. I only know a little about them. Elder, please don't laugh at me." Chu Chen laughed. In fact, after he activated his spiritual mind, he keenly found that there were a few areas of the spiritual power flowing in the medicinal cauldron that were blocked. Therefore, he made a few deep scratches on the medicinal cauldron to dredge up the blocked areas.
It should be known that Chu Chen's spiritual mind and consciousness were above the Guru Level.
"Okay. You can try to work here for a month this month. This pot of Spiritual Medicine Cleansing Soup is boiled well. Here, this is your reward. "As the beautiful Elder spoke, she threw a small bottle, which Chu Chen caught.
He opened the bottle and took a look. A strong medicinal fragrance pervaded the air. It was an ordinary first-grade Spirit-gathering Herb!
"Thank you, Elder!" Chu Chen was overjoyed. An ordinary first-grade Spiritual Medicine was much better than the inferior first-grade Spiritual Medicine that he had used before. He only boiled the medicine for three days and obtained such a bottle of elixir. Elder Lingxin was indeed an Alchemy Guru. She was so generous!
"Alright, you must be tired these past few days. Go back and have a good rest. Come back tomorrow at this time to help … I still say the same thing. As long as you do your job well, you won't be mistreated here! "The beautiful Elder waved her hand coldly, indicating that Chu Chen should leave immediately.
Chu Chen wasn't too sure if it was because he had continuously refined medicine for three days. After returning to his small courtyard, he was fanning the fire in the medicinal cauldron in his sleep. What was worse was that he was fanning the fire very seriously and happily.
"Is Chu Chen here?"
The sleepy Chu Chen opened the door of the small house and found a young girl in yellow standing in the small courtyard. This young girl had a kind of arrogance that looked down on everything.
"Come with me. Eldest Senior Brother wants to see you."
The young girl in yellow was Yao Jinghai's personal maid. Relying on Yao Jinghai's power, she usually didn't put any outer court disciples in her eyes. She always had a high and mighty appearance. When she entered Chu Chen's small courtyard, she seemed to be condescending and had a look of reluctance.
Chu Chen didn't expect that Yao Jinghai would find him so quickly. The matter of him killing Yao Long shouldn't have been exposed so quickly.
Chu Chen "calmly" followed the young girl in yellow to the "Purple Sea" halfway up the mountain. This was a boundless purple bamboo forest.
The purple Qi emitted by the purple bamboo was extremely beneficial to cultivators. Every single piece of purple bamboo was very valuable. A large patch of purple bamboo was even more valuable.
Biquan Xianzong deliberately let Yao Jinghai live in the "Purple Sea". It was obvious that he thought highly of him.
As soon as Chu Chen entered the "Purple Sea", he saw an imposing young man in white robes with a jade crown on his head. He was holding a chess record in one hand and slowly placing a chess piece on the chessboard with the other.
The expression on his face was very kind. He looked like a gentle scholar. However, every time he placed a chess piece, the surrounding space would be pulled once.
"Hum! Hum! Hum!"
He suddenly heavily placed three chess pieces on the chessboard, causing the entire "Purple Sea" to tremble. The purple bamboo forest was like a continuous wave, and the purple bamboo leaves that filled the sky continuously fluttered.
Chu Chen suddenly felt the Qi and blood in his body surging. He felt an indescribable discomfort. He immediately concealed his spirit and qi and spread out his spiritual sense to protect his soul.
After a moment, Yao Jinghai slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Chen with some astonishment. He had placed three chess pieces in a row with the intention of using the pressure of the spatial fluctuations to make Chu Chen kneel on the ground.
He didn't expect that Chu Chen would only stand there with an unsightly expression. His body only swayed a few times.
Given Yao Jinghai's realm and status, he naturally couldn't make things difficult for a lowly Spirit Qi Realm disciple. He slowly put down the ancient book in his hand.
"I heard that you've already collected this month's medicine."
"Thank you for your concern, Eldest Senior Martial Brother," Chu Chen said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"I heard that you lost your sect sword?" Yao Jinghai had a faint smile on his face as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Thank you for your concern, Eldest Senior Martial Brother. When I was sick some time ago, a wild dog came out of nowhere and took it away."

"Chu Chen, I think you'd better leave Biquan Xianzong as soon as possible. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you won't just lose your sword, but also …"
At this moment, Yao Jinghai suddenly emitted a shocking killing intent. Countless bamboo leaves fluttering in the air turned into powder, and a purple storm set off in the entire Purple Sea.

"What condition?" Yao Jinghai was overjoyed. This brat was actually willing to relent.
"I want to fight with Eldest Senior Martial Brother in the annual outer sect competition three months from now."
"You want to compete for the position of Eldest Senior Martial Brother?"
Yao Jinghai once again sized up the thin youth standing proudly in the center of the storm. He thought to himself, could it be that the rumors were true? That he had broken his head?
"The position of Eldest Senior Martial Brother is just a bonus. Our real bet is that the winner stays and the loser scrums out of the sect!"
Chu Chen said word by word.
"You should know that competing for the position of Eldest Senior Martial Brother is not an ordinary competition. Even if you are beaten to death or crippled, it will not violate the sect rules." Yao Jinghai looked at Chu Chen as if he was looking at prey.
"I know. May I ask if Eldest Senior Martial Brother accepts my challenge?" Chu Chen asked proudly.
"I accept."
Yao Jinghai stood up and quickly walked towards Chu Chen.
This was a challenge that he could not refuse. If he openly eliminated Chu Chen, Tong Meng would naturally be unable to escape.
"Pa!"
A duel oath! The two of them clapped their hands to form an alliance. No one would have thought that the strongest Eldest Senior Martial Brother of the outer sect would make a duel oath with a trash who would forever be stuck in the Spirit Qi Realm.

In three months, would he be able to compete with the unfathomable Eldest Senior Martial Brother of the outer sect?
He could only place his hopes on the mysterious cultivation technique from the Black Mist Valley and the Black Mist Valley.
