Chapter 4 Madam, please forgive me for offending you?
Xiao Jingsheng's bedroom was not far from the Dan Palace, right at the foot of Ziyun Peak.
However, unlike ordinary Qi Refining disciples, as a Concentrating Spirit disciple, Xiao Jingsheng can enjoy a simple attic all to himself, which is the bamboo building where he currently lives. Because it is very close to the magic circle of Ziyun Peak, he can get some of the rich spiritual power overflowing from the magic circle.
Most of the deacons in the temple live on the mountainside, are baptized by magic circles all day long, and are treated differently.
In the past, Xiao Jingsheng's main responsibility was to take care of the medicinal garden at the foot of Ziyun Peak, farming, digging canals, weeding, expelling insects, as well as collecting the sweet juice and dew that condensed the essence of heaven and earth from these immortal herbs, and sending them to the Alchemy Palace from time to time.
There are not many people with the same duties as him, only two or three. If you are lucky, you may happen to run into the Pill King while he is refining pills and watch from the side.
Although the Dan King has a strange temperament and doesn't like to accept disciples, he is still quite interested in showing off his skills.
Of course, ever since Xiao Jingsheng started serializing the comic book, Dan Wang would usually be impatient to ask people to invite him to the mountain. Whenever there was a break in the update, he would be so furious that he would urge him to come.
Passing through the medicinal garden is the cliff-side loop road that connects to Ziyun Peak.
At that time, it will cause a faint ripple when entering and exiting, and then the spiritual power lingering around the body will become active, and become more and more dense from bottom to top. This is the formation set up on Ziyun Peak. It is shaped like an inverted bowl, covering the entire Ziyun Peak. It is an advanced double spirit gathering formation, which can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and can also sense the entry and exit of outsiders.
Even if you come riding on a sword and riding the wind, you cannot escape the main hall's perception the moment you crash into the magic circle.
Usually, disciples who have the opportunity to be summoned to the mountain will reach the top of the mountain by walking, and they can also greedily absorb the rich spiritual energy during the period. However, the Dan King is an impatient person. He is concerned about the comic book series. He thinks that Xiao Jingsheng, a disciple who is concentrating on the mind, is too slow, so he directly gives him a talisman sword specially made by the talisman master. Even if he cannot fly with the sword, he only needs to activate the inscription in the talisman sword to fly with the talisman. When the energy in the talisman sword is consumed, the other party will recharge it on his behalf, so Xiao Jingsheng doesn't have to worry about it.
Such enthusiasm really made him cry!
This kind of treatment is also something that other disciples have never enjoyed. Every time they go up the mountain, they are treated like the foundation-building deacon, with all their cards on display!
As the air flow around my ears continued to accelerate and rise, after five or six breaths, a strong fragrance of elixir came to my face.
It also means that we have arrived at the Dan Palace.
What comes into view is a bluestone square. The entire Alchemy Palace looks like an alchemy furnace from the outside. There are green pines and cypresses planted on the side, two or three water pavilions, and a jade pool connected to the front. Countless dragon fish live in the pool. Most of the sweet juice and jade dew that Xiao Jingsheng collects on a daily basis is used to feed these spiritual creatures.
Therefore, the meat is very delicious and can be cooked or used as a medicine. Just taking it as a food ingredient can increase the strength of the body. For these fragile mages, it is extremely precious, and the Dan King usually treasures it very much.
Well, Xiao Jingsheng has eaten no less than a hundred of them. The reason why he has such a strong body now is probably due to these dragon fish.
However, I have never been able to use my skills, and I have not been able to vent my anger for a long time, so I am very angry.
[Nowhere to vent? A graceful figure suddenly appeared in your mind. It was the sad widow of the Dan King. Since the other party cares so much about the Dan King's bloodline, why don't you use this as a threat? Then this woman will be afraid to act rashly...]
Oh shit!
You are so cruel!
Xiao Jingsheng staggered and almost fell off the talisman sword, but fortunately he was a skilled driver and managed to keep his balance.
But when he saw the scene in front of the palace door clearly, his heroic eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
He clearly remembered that before he left, he only left two focused disciples guarding the entrance to the hall, but now there are four people, and one of them is the Senior Brother Zhao whom he sent away.
"Heh, is the person behind this finally going to surface?"
Xiao Jingsheng made up his mind, so he put away the talisman sword and walked away with big strides.
"Stop, the steward is handling important matters in the hall. No one else is allowed to enter."
Zhao Jianfei saw the flashy talisman sword driven by Xiao Jingsheng early in the morning. After looking at the other three people, he took the initiative to stop it.
"Get out of the way."
Xiao Jingsheng raised his eyelids slightly, his eyes filled with indifference.
Outsiders don’t know, but do the disciples in the Dan Palace know about it?
The King of Dan had issued an oral order early in the morning that except for the important areas of the inner palace, Xiao Lianzai could enter and exit other places in the Dan Palace at will.
The same is true for the palace in the back mountain.
Otherwise, how could I go and tell the Dan King's little daughter a bedtime story when she was awake at night?
It would have been fine if Xiao Jingsheng didn't get angry, but when he thought about how the other party had used him as a gun, the fire in Zhao Jianfei's chest burst out all at once.
"You brat! You have relied on the Pill King's support to cross the line many times. Now that the Pill King has passed away, you still don't know how to restrain yourself. Don't blame me and other fellow disciples for disciplining you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jianfei rushed out with a palm strike. The air flow contained in it kept whistling through his fingers and aimed fiercely at Xiao Jingsheng's heart, as if he wanted to sever the former's heart meridian with one palm.
"Brother Zhao, the deacon said he wanted to keep him alive."
Seeing this, one of them hurriedly spoke up to remind them.
At the same time, the other two people also went around behind Xiao Jingsheng and blocked his retreat.
Zhao Jianfei gritted his teeth and had to shift his palm, which finally fell on Xiao Jingsheng's right chest.
“Puff!”
Xiao Jingsheng raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and a cluster of flames suddenly shot out from his fingertips, and Zhao Jianfei's powerful palm was like paper, and it was pierced through with a "puff".
"ah!"
Zhao Jianfei, who was hit, rolled on the ground wildly holding his palm. Looking closely, he could see that the center of the opponent's palm was already pitch black.
There was a disgusting smell of meat wafting from the broken hole, but no blood had seeped out, as if it had evaporated in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the other three people couldn't help but have a chilling thought in their hearts:
I'm afraid this hand is going to be crippled!
Looking at the flame that attacked Zhao Jianfei, it had returned to Xiao Jingsheng's fingertips, jumping back and forth as he fiddled with it, brightly colored and full of danger.
However, in his other sleeve, he had already attached his spiritual power to a stack of talismans. If the few people made any movement, he would be ready to cover them with fire.
"Real fire!" After seeing the real thing and the terrifying high temperature spreading from it, several people couldn't help but show horror on their faces.
This is the sign of entering the foundation-building stage.
Xiao Jingsheng saw several people standing there frozen with indifferent eyes, just like when he came, he flicked his sleeves and walked forward.
When the other three saw Zhao Jianfei's miserable condition, they were so terrified that they didn't have the courage to step forward to stop him.
…
Fortunately, when Xiao Jingsheng entered the inner hall, Xia Zhixuan and her daughter were safe and sound.
Instead, there was an old man with white hair and beard sitting at the first seat in the row of guest seats on the right. He had his eyes closed, his face stern, and his fingers slowly tapped on the handrail, creating a heavy, muffled sound that swirled around the hall.
Seems to be waiting for something.
The Dan King's young daughter hid in her mother's arms amid the frequent knocking sounds, trembling and whispering, "Mother, I'm afraid..."
At this moment, with the appearance of a figure, the knocking sound stopped abruptly.
The old man also opened his eyes at the first moment.
"Huh?"
After seeing that the person who came was Xiao Jingsheng alone, he immediately showed a surprised look: "How did you get in?"
"Of course I walked in." Xiao Jingsheng said lightly.
But judging from the reactions of the three people, Xiao Jingsheng was basically certain that the old guys were waiting here for him.
The Dan King's last words before his death must have been spread by Senior Brother Zhao.
"How dare you! Why don't you show respect to me when you see me?"
Seeing the other party so careless, the old man clapped his hands suddenly, and the moment he stood up, an invisible wave spread out from his body and directly enveloped the former.
Xiao Jingsheng remained motionless. Under the old man's astonished gaze, he raised his hands to the upper left and clasped his fists, saying, "When the Dan King is still alive, please let me spare you the empty formalities."
In the next second, Xiao Jingsheng suddenly took a step forward and said sternly, "You are just a deacon who can only stay in the foundation-building stage for the rest of your life. What qualifications do you have to point fingers at me?"
As soon as the words fell, a wave even stronger than the previous one swept out from Xiao Jingsheng's body, and the arrogant old man couldn't help but take two steps back in this invisible collision, and the palm that he used to stabilize his body even smashed the armchair.
"Foundation Building Realm!"
The old man was horrified and incredulous: "You are just an outer hall disciple, how is it possible!"
Xiao Jingsheng didn't even look at him, but waved at the Dan King's young daughter with big watery eyes: "Caiwei, come here."
“Daddy!”
The little girl, who had been terrified for a long time, suddenly seemed to have found her backbone. Her two short legs stepped quickly, and the tears along the way fell like a broken string. Her petite body fell directly into Xiao Jingsheng's arms.
"Daddy?" The old man and the two people behind him were even more stunned, with real envy and jealousy on their faces.
You act so quickly!
No wonder, there are always people saying that this guy often enters the Dan King's bedroom at night, but I didn't expect that the beauty had already been taken by him, and they actually had such an unspeakable relationship.
What a beast!
Seeing the strange looks of several people, Xia Zhixuan, who knew the nature of men well, couldn't help but feel ashamed and angry when she saw the dirty looks on their faces. But now the lives of both her and her daughter depended on Xiao Jingsheng, so it was not easy for her to distance herself from the matter. In the end, she could only stand there with a red face, not saying a word.
But doing so allowed the other party to seize the opportunity.
"It's a pity that the Dan King was so kind to you. You actually colluded with this vicious woman and did such a shameless thing. The death of the Dan King must be related to you two."
A gleam of brilliance flashed in the old man's eyes, and he quickly put on his hat.
"What bullshit are you talking about!" Xiao Jingsheng directly protected Jiang Caiwei behind him, and said with a cold look: "Now I just recognize her as my adopted daughter because of our past feelings. Don't use your dirty thoughts to make random guesses."
"The Dan King's body is still warm, and you are all the stewards of the Dan Palace. It would be fine if you didn't take care of him, but you actually brought people to bully his widow. Why is that?"
When he was a keyboard warrior in his previous life, with just a click of a key, the entire comment section would be in chaos, with everyone throwing away their weapons and weapons and becoming a troll. Would he be afraid of these old guys?
Hearing this, the expressions of the three people opposite suddenly changed.
"Xiao Jingsheng, even though you have already entered the foundation-building stage, you have not yet been granted the position of deacon. What qualifications do you have to talk to us like this? You are so disrespectful to your superiors that it is in accordance with the sect's rules to capture and kill you on the spot!"
At this time, the two people behind the old man had locked onto Xiao Jingsheng's aura in an instant, and seemed to want to capture him directly and kill him first without asking for permission later.
Seeing this, on the surface, Xiao Jingsheng's mouth corners slightly raised a cold arc, and he was confident. In fact, he replaced the stack of talismans with a magic treasure that the Pill King had given him before, which quietly appeared in his palm.
Although they were a few old fellows who had exhausted their potential and barely made a breakthrough through the method of foundation-building pill poison, he firmly disagreed with the failure?
After thinking about it, he felt a little uneasy, and with his other hand behind his back, there appeared a jade bottle filled with corpse-dissolving powder.
Seeing such a tense situation, Xia Zhixuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted, "He is not qualified, what about me?!"
Hearing this, several people looked over together and saw Xia Zhixuan holding the deacon's chief token and looking at the three people coldly.
But behind her seemingly majestic appearance, the jade hand behind her back was clenched tightly and trembling non-stop.
Although her late husband had secretly given her a way to save her life, she herself was a mortal without any spiritual roots. If Xiao Jingsheng had not been by her side, she would not even have the courage to speak in the face of these immortal figures.
She knew very well that it was a crime to possess a treasure, and it would be easy for these people to take her life.
Seeing the token in Xia Zhixuan's hand, the three people, led by the old man, felt their hearts tremble.
I never thought that this woman could keep silent until this moment and then show the token.
If that brat had not arrived in the hall, they could have forcibly snatched the token and directly bit back.
I was too greedy. I originally wanted to pry the Dan King's last words out of the other party, but I ended up making a big mistake.
Now that Xiao Jingsheng has broken through to the foundation-building stage, the three of them can defeat him together, but they are not absolutely sure of keeping him.
After all, the actual combat power of these medicine jars in their Dan Palace is well-known.
Judging from the fluctuations on the opponent's body, he is obviously stronger than the three of them. What's more, he has just made a breakthrough. Even if he has such potential, it is obviously not a barrier that he broke through by relying on elixirs.
Once such a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage is determined to leave, it would be difficult for the three of them to force him to stay.
By the time the news gets out, they will surely die for their acts of betraying their teacher and ancestors.
With this thought in mind, the three of them looked at each other, gritted their teeth and half-knelt down: "How dare the three of us act rashly in front of the First Master?"
Seeing this, Xia Zhixuan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiao Jingsheng with lingering fear.
On the other hand, Xiao Jingsheng couldn't help but look up to the other party.
No wonder she could gain the favor of the Pill King with her mortal body, this woman is no simple one!
And the King of Dan did not have no backup plans.
This token is extremely critical!
In fact, even if he took action, Xiao Jingsheng would be confident that he could escape unscathed with the help of the magic weapon that the old man had given him on credit before. However, since he could do it without bloodshed, he was naturally happy to see it happen.
After all, if there was a private fight within the sect, or even if someone was killed, he would inevitably have to pay a price in the Law Enforcement Hall.
After making up his mind, Xiao Jingsheng looked at the others with a cold face and said, "I have already reported the elder's passing to the sect. The sect master will have to make the final decision. If you don't put aside your thoughts, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance if you end up getting burned in the future!"
At this point, the three of them no longer pretended to be polite. They bowed and left the hall in shame.
“Bang!”
As the door was closed, Xia Zhixuan, who had been holding on, collapsed to the ground, her entire back soaked with cold sweat.
Seeing this, Xiao Jingsheng immediately jumped up and came to the other party's side: "Madam, are you okay?"
Seeing Xiao Jingsheng approaching, Xia Zhixuan shook her head as if relieved, wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Jingsheng, I lost my composure."
[Even though the other party tried her best to conceal it, it was hard for her to escape your sharp eyes. With her husband's death in front of her and thieves blocking her way behind her, she must be feeling uneasy and anxious, desperate to find spiritual comfort. Why don't you take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?]
Take advantage of this!
How could I, Xiao Jingsheng, be such a despicable person? I will use my charm to successfully open the road to your heart!
Xiao Jingsheng smiled and shook his head, pretending to reach out his hand to help the other person up, but just as he was about to touch her, he paused and asked, "Madam, may I offend you?"
When she thought about being touched by a man other than her late husband, Xia Zhixuan couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in her heart. However, after the shocking situation just now, she had no strength to get up. Finally, she pursed her lips and handed over the delicate back of her hand: "Since we are children of the world, we should not be too particular about trivial matters."
Seeing the other party agreed, Xiao Jingsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He pinched the other party's small hand with one hand, and slowly passed the other party's somewhat voluptuous armpit with the other large palm. When the hair with a little fragrance inadvertently slid across the tip of his nose, he climbed up the other party's delicate waist as he wished, with the body trembling slightly...
