There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world, even in the Kunlun Party, which had many rules. In fact, the Kunlun Party had existed for too long, and the various big and small forces in the sect were intertwined, making it even harder to keep a secret.
Perhaps in the beginning, it could be kept a secret for a while, but as time went on, more and more people knew about this matter, and the rumors would naturally spread.
The Eagle Fruit cultivated this time was prepared for the hottest young genius in the Kunlun Party, Su Qingjun. This news leaked out very quickly, and then among the odd-job disciples who participated in this competition, those who had a background, backing, or connections naturally knew about it, while those who didn't had a background remained in the dark.
He Changsheng belonged to the kind of "three no" people who didn't have a background, backing, or connections, so he didn't know about this secret. However, he wasn't an idiot. From the scale of this competition and the cautiousness of the two Jin Dan Friar appearing at the same time, anyone would know that this matter was of great importance. He also saw that something was wrong from the expressions and movements of the other odd-job disciples, but no one would specifically come over to tell him anything.
He Changsheng was very depressed and angry about this, but what he could do was to do his part as he had done in the past, and hope that through this competition, there would be a chance for a carp to jump over the dragon's gate.
Lu Chen's situation was actually similar to He Changsheng's. At least, he was an ordinary person with no background and backing, but he had a way out.
At dusk that day, Yi Xin secretly ran to his residence and found him. She pulled him aside and whispered to him for a long time. In the end, she solemnly said to him, "Brother Lu, do you understand? You can't miss this opportunity! "
Lu Chen lay down on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and said with a smile, "You came running to me like this, aren't you afraid that others will find out and punish you?"
Yi Xin snorted and said unconcernedly, "I'm not the only one. Those people from aristocratic families all had their superiors leak information to them. Besides, I heard it from Martial Aunt Melaleuca Japonica. She didn't specifically tell me not to say it, so it's fine for me to tell you. "
Lu Chen patted the bed and said, "Alright, I know what to do. Sigh, it's so nice to have someone in the imperial court. It's so easy to get things done. "
Yi Xin's eyes narrowed as she smiled, but she quickly widened them again. She said to Lu Chen, "Brother Lu, don't be careless. Once you're chosen, you can go to Sister Su's side."
Lu Chen was startled and said, "What do you mean?"
Yi Xin laughed and lowered her voice, saying, "Even the people outside don't know about this. Martial Aunt Melaleuca Japonica only told me. It's good that you know, but don't let it slip."
Lu Chen looked at her for a long time. He suddenly smiled and patted the edge of the bed, saying, "Little girl, you're amazing. Come and sit, let's talk."
"Nonsense, there's still a lot of things you don't know about me." Yi Xin laughed proudly, then said in a low voice, "Actually, in this competition to plant the Eagle Fruit, it's just to pick out the person with the best Ling cultivation, and then go to Sister Su's side, because she wants to eat the fresh Eagle Fruit …"
She told Lu Chen about the Eagle Fruit in a low voice, and finally said, "In order to obtain the fresh and perfect Eagle Fruit, Martial Aunt Melaleuca Japonica spent a lot of effort to transplant seven Eagle Fruit trees from the Flowing Fragrance Garden, and directly plant them in the exclusive Ling Fields in Sister Su's cave. What's next is to have people watch over them day and night, and carefully cultivate them. The date of bearing fruit is almost set, one tree will bear fruit every three days. When it bears fruit, people will be called immediately, and when it's ripe, it will be eaten without any delay. In this way, in twenty-one days, it will be a success. Sister Su's "Serene Moon Arts" will no longer be obstructed, and she can cultivate all the way to the peak of the Jin Dan realm. "
Lu Chen fell silent after hearing this, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "So that's how it is."
Yi Xin said curiously, "Brother Lu, why does your complexion look so bad?"
Lu Chen shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that after hearing you say this, I suddenly feel that on this path of cultivation, she and I are really worlds apart."
Yi Xin laughed out loud, and covered her mouth as she laughed, and said, "Look at what you're saying, there's definitely a world of difference between us. Not to mention that Sister Su's family is rich, with countless wealth and goods, even if it's natural talent, the difference is still too great. So, Sister Su is a genius, she was born with a good life, and can't be forced. Look, I'm not jealous, I'm even happy for her. "
Lu Chen looked at her, and smiled after a while, and said, "You're right, natural talent, can't be forced."
Yi Xin nodded, and then warned him, "In short, Brother Lu, you just have to know. If you can be chosen this time, not only will Sister Su owe you a favor, you might even have the chance to get closer to her. With this friendship, in the future in the Kunlun Party, no one will dare to bully you! "
Lu Chen smiled, and said, "Alright, I understand."
Yi Xin stared at him, and seemed to be even more nervous than when she was competing herself. She clenched her fists, and said, "You must win."
Lu Chen patted his chest, and said, "It has to be me, don't worry."
Yi Xin laughed, and seemed to have some trust in him, and seemed to be full of confidence.
…
The cultivation of the Eagle Fruit was not easy. This kind of spiritual fruit grew on the Eagle Fruit Tree, and its trunk was slender, and its root system was developed. To adjust the spiritual energy of the five elements in the soil of the spiritual field was much more strenuous than normal spiritual grass, and it basically took a whole day.
The Odd Job Disciples who were chosen to participate in this competition were all very hardworking, but due to their limited cultivation, after a whole day of cultivation, they all looked pale and exhausted by dusk.
When the sun set, everyone left. Different from the Grass Garden, even if the Odd Job Disciples left, this special spiritual field was still guarded by Melaleuca Japonica's people, in case of any accidents.
When He Changsheng left, he was quite satisfied, especially when he saw that there were people guarding the spiritual field, and he felt a lot more relieved. The disciples of the rich and powerful families were really evil, colluding with each other to suppress ordinary disciples like him. They were really evil.
Fortunately, the Kunlun Party was a righteous sect, and there were good people like Melaleuca Japonica and Lin Sheng, who were fair and just, so he did not enter this sect in vain. If he really had the opportunity to cultivate in the future, he would definitely thank these two benefactors.
With this thought in mind, he walked back to his house. Unknowingly, the sky had already darkened, and the sun was setting in the west. It was going to be dark soon.
He Changsheng massaged his back, and felt a little sore. Since he was a Odd Job Disciple, his talent was naturally not high, and his cultivation was also average. When he was working in the Grass Garden, he did not really work hard for a whole day like today, and it was really tiring. But for the dream of the future, it was worth it.
He was thinking about the beautiful future, and like every ordinary young man, he dreamed that one day he would stand out from the rest of the world, and his cultivation would be the best in Kunlun. By then, all the Yuanying Zhenren, including the sect leader, would kneel at his feet, and countless beautiful female disciples, with Su Qingjun as the leader, would look at him with deep affection, and softly ask to be his Taoist companion …
These days, were really too good!
When he pushed open his door and walked in, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he could not help but whistle.
At this moment, a palm suddenly flew from behind the door, and heavily chopped the back of his neck, and even faintly heard a low muffled sound. He Changsheng's eyes rolled, and without even making a sound, he directly fell forward.
Behind him, the door of the house slowly closed.
…
The night was dark, and the mountain wind blew.
The darkness was like a nightmare, always entangled him, and made He Changsheng feel very painful. But inexplicably, in that darkness, he recalled the first half of his life.
He once had a family.
However, the biggest impression that his family had left on him was that the family had declined ever since he was young. From his grandfather's generation to his father's, it seemed that everyone was reminiscing about the glory of their ancestors, and then complaining and cursing at the reality in front of them, feeling indignant and indignant.
But reality was reality. In the midst of complaining and cursing, the family still continued to decline uncontrollably. When he grew up, the He family was already destitute.
He was very poor and dejected. Apart from the old house, he had nothing. However, he still remembered the obsession of his father and grandfather. He reminisced about the glory of the past that he had never seen. Gradually, he regarded restoring this glory as his duty.
No one can stand in my way, and I will definitely restore the reputation of the family.
I will succeed in my cultivation, become a Spiritual Master, and then rebuild the family business, marry a … No, what kind of identity is a Spiritual Master! Of course, I will marry a lot of wives, have a lot of children, and then buy countless wealth and goods. I will be better than the Su family, the Bai family, and the Lin family in Kunwu City!
That beautiful scene seemed to be shining with golden light.
He even laughed out loud in his dreams.
Then, he woke up.
After waking up, he felt pain, as if his neck was being cut open. Then, when he turned his head with difficulty, he found that his hands and feet were tightly bound and thrown on the floor of the room, and there was an oil lamp on the table next to him, illuminating the room.
There was another person in the room at the same time.
"You're awake?" That person's back was facing him, but for some reason, he seemed to be able to sense that He Changsheng had woken up. But he didn't turn his head and just faintly spoke.
That voice was low and slightly hoarse, and it sounded very unfamiliar. He Changsheng felt that he had never heard it before, but after a while, he inexplicably felt that it was somewhat familiar.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw that the person's back was facing him. The person was holding a strange talisman brush in his hand, and he was drawing something on the white wall of his room.
The traces drawn by the tip of the brush were as red as blood, and strange lines appeared on the white wall like the grin of a demon.
