"Medicine House Steward? Ninghua North Garden? Something happened."

Jing Zichu suddenly felt dizzy and dark. It was ridiculous that he was so complacent before, secretly mocking the people of the Immortal Sect for being stupid, but he didn't know that his death was approaching.

He tried to suppress his fear and tried to make some excuses, but seeing Chen Sheng's determined look, he could not speak. He could only say bitterly, "I am willing to offer you the spiritual herbs from Ninghua North Garden. I hope the steward will spare my life."

As a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, he was completely unharmed and could still fight the bloodthirsty rat. However, he made one wrong move and was seriously injured, and was no longer able to fight back.

Now, my only thought is not to succeed in cultivation, but to save my life.

"Is it possible?"

Mr. Chen looked indifferent. If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. Sometimes you have to pay with your life.

"What if Jing escapes with the crime, and the deacon secretly gains the benefit?"

Jing Zichu gritted his teeth and reluctantly gave up the storage bag containing the Ninghua Beiyuan spiritual herbs. He even opened the bag to arouse Chen Sheng's greed so that he could see the hill of spiritual herbs inside.

As long as Chen Sheng opened his mouth, all the cultivation resources would fall into his pocket.

And he, taking the blame, escaped for his life.

No one knows about the transaction between the two, and the truth will be buried in time.

"no."

It seemed perfect, but Mr. Chen firmly refused.

"Aren't you afraid that I will destroy these spiritual herbs along with you?"

Jing Zichu's eyes were red and full of madness. He had already thrown away all his interests and even calculated everything.

If he lets him go, Mr. Chen won't suffer any loss and may even gain something.

But why, he had to die?

"If it's ruined, it's ruined."

Chen Sheng didn't care about the spiritual herbs produced in Ninghua North Garden, but there was one thing he didn't want to trample on, so he said, "You must know that killing you is for the dignity of Guangxiu Xianzong, and also to give justice to the hardworking people in Ninghua North Garden."

If these spiritual herbs are damaged for no reason, the people in Ninghua North Garden will be punished or even killed.

But if there were unscrupulous villains behind the scenes who plotted secretly and caused the spiritual herbs to be stolen, the matter cannot be let go.

As long as he brings back Jing Zichu's head, the result will be in a good direction.

"Majesty? Justice? You lunatic."

Jing Zichu didn’t understand. He really didn’t understand. He simply couldn’t comprehend why a cultivator would refuse such generous cultivation resources for an irrelevant person.

He cursed and ordered the bloodthirsty rat to attack and kill the steward of the medicine house.

"puff"

The bloodthirsty rat attacked, its two claws scratching in the air, making a sound of metal breaking through the air.

Mr. Chen’s response was simple.

Cut down with one sword.

The body of the bloodthirsty rat was broken into two. The difference between the seventh level of Qi Refining and the fourth level of Qi Refining was too great.

clang.

Without waiting for the blood on the sword to drip to the ground, he raised his sword again, so sharp that he chopped off the head of Jing Zichu who was still struggling.

"I still have to take this head and explain it."

Chen Sheng looked at Jing Zichu's head with disdain, picked it up, and with his other hand, holding the storage bag containing the Ninghua Beiyuan spiritual herbs, he ran away.

Ninghua North Garden.

"Butler, what punishment will we receive?"

An honest farmer stood up uneasily and asked Deacon Li about the current situation.

He really likes the job of growing spiritual herbs in the Immortal Sect. The people in Beiyuan don't have too many scheming minds.

Their thoughts were the same as his, which was to grow spiritual herbs well and live a peaceful and happy life.

However, this wish seems difficult to achieve.

"Growing spiritual herbs is a major matter for the Immortal Sect. We are incompetent, which has resulted in a total failure in Ninghua North Garden. This is a heinous crime."

The low-level cultivators who knew the situation had pale faces. The Immortal Sect was magnanimous, but that did not mean they could be bullied. Without a convincing reason, it would be extremely difficult for them to pass this stage.

The lightest ones will be demoted to mining.

"ah……"

"Then I'm dead for sure."

…

For a moment, the entire Ninghua North Garden was filled with sad songs. Many helpless people sobbed and were completely panicked.

"Everyone, the blame lies with me. The old man will bear it all."

Manager Li's body became very weak, and he felt as if his blood and energy had been drained.

At the critical moment, he was still reliable. He held on and showed the courage of a person in charge of a medicine garden.

Even though the steward of the medicine house said that there might be other hidden stories behind this matter, he didn't dare to hope for luck until the whereabouts of the spiritual herbs were clear.

"Don't be pessimistic, the spiritual herbs have been recovered."

At this time, Mr. Chen came back.

His slightly high-pitched voice dispelled the thick confusion, like a warm beacon, illuminating the direction of the lost lamb.

"real?"

Manager Li knew what Mr. Chen was going to do. Seeing that there was a turn for the better, he felt relieved, but he was also nervous and didn't dare to tell the truth.

"See for yourself."

Chen Sheng casually threw over the storage bag containing a large amount of spiritual herbs.

"It's true. The spiritual herbs have been recovered."

Manager Li suppressed his anxiety, took a look at the storage bag, and his spirit, which had been weakened in an instant, suddenly shook again. He announced the good news to everyone around him.

Then, he saw the head in Chen Sheng's hand and said, "This is that..."

The spiritual herbs are still there, so they were not destroyed by monsters or beasts, but must have been stolen.

In this situation, everything seems to be clear.

"I have beheaded the evil thief who ordered the bloodthirsty rat to steal the spiritual herbs. You can take this head, submit the documents, and go to give an account."

Mr. Chen explained the whole story one by one so that Manager Li would have a clear idea of ​​what was going on and would not be too nervous.

After saying that, he was about to leave.

"I, old man, would like to thank Deacon Chen."

Manager Li was already quite old, but he couldn't help but feel excited and knelt down all of a sudden.

Mr. Chen, the steward of the medicine house, is truly a man of both virtue and integrity.

The people from Ninghua North Garden also knelt down along with Manager Li and kowtowed in gratitude. Without the help of this young man, their fate would have been miserable.

"It's just my duty."

Chen Sheng climbed onto the demon horse, left a word, and left in a hurry.

Behind him, the people of Ninghua North Garden did not stand up, but knelt and watched the figure in bright clothes and riding a horse go away, to express their gratitude.

…

Medicine house.

Dust Light Palace.

"How is Ninghua North Garden?"

After returning to Guangxiu Immortal Sect, Xi Fu asked about the Ninghua North Garden. The delay in the arrival of the offered spiritual herbs was not a small matter.

"Here's what happened."

Mr. Chen gave a brief account of the situation, without mentioning many details.

But Xi Fu knew that the independent cultivators were cunning and used to playing tricks on people. He guessed a little bit and said, "Young man has a kind heart..."

Although he didn't know the details, he could guess that Mr. Chen controlled his heart. In that situation, there were too many opportunities to maneuver.

Also, Mr. Chen could have stood aside and watched this matter, but he still did his best to help the people of Ninghua Beiyuan, which was a huge favor.

"In a few days, I will introduce you to some of my old friends, all of whom are first-level alchemists and have their own unique skills."

Judging from this, Xi Fu was willing from the bottom of his heart to pave the way for Chen Sheng on his path to alchemy.

“Good things happen to good people.”

Mr. Chen was surprised. He never thought that the matter would end like this.
