Perhaps Chu Xinghe's words had an effect, as the senior brothers of Spirit Crane Palace did not lay a hand on Chu Cheng after all.

But they chose another method!

Stopping the medicine!

That's right, although the treatment of the outer disciples of Vast Heaven Sect cannot compare to that of the inner disciples, it is still the number one sect in the world. Even the resources of the outer disciples are much stronger than those of ordinary sects, and many inner disciples of major sects cannot compare.

Among these resources, the pills are naturally provided by Spirit Crane Palace. It can be said that all the pill resources of Vast Heaven Sect are provided by Spirit Crane Palace.

Each party comes to collect their own pill resources and then distributes them to the disciples according to their share.

But this time, the outer disciples did not receive any pills, and the reason is simple: the medicine is scarce.

Originally, the outer disciples didn't think much of it, after all, they were the outer disciples. When the medicine is scarce, it's not surprising that they are the first to be cut off. But when they asked when it could be replenished, the answer was that it couldn't be!

This made the outer disciples anxious. What's going on? Aren't the outer disciples human? It's one thing to bully us in daily life, but now they're bullying us openly?

Just as the outer disciples were about to go find the Elder to argue, news came from Spirit Crane Palace.

"What? It's because of that dog Chu Cheng!"

"He said Chu Xinghe broke his arm?"

"Nonsense... Chu Xinghe never went to the outer disciples. I was there that day. It was someone from his previous team who came to see him. He was disrespectful and got beaten up by the crowd!"

"I heard that this guy has been treating the people in his team badly before."

"Damn it! Just because of this dog, we can't get the pills? It seems like the people from Spirit Crane Palace said that he slandered their junior brother Xinghe, and they couldn't stand it anymore?"

"I don't care, I'll make sure this bastard pays!"

How fierce can a group of outer disciples who can't get medicine be? Chu Cheng should be the one who knows this best.

Although Chu Cheng had been resting for a few days and still had bruises on his face, he could already get out of bed and walk. Chu Cheng swore! The tides will turn! Don't underestimate a poor young man!

One day, Chu Cheng will return to the inner disciples with the Posture of the Great Emperor!

At that time, the first thing he will do is make Chu Xinghe kneel in front of him and call him father!

At that time, he will break all of his limbs... no! All five limbs!

But just as Chu Cheng was fantasizing about wielding his divine sword in his left hand and his divine magic in his right hand, the door was kicked open by a group of outer disciples.

"So your name is Chu Cheng!" A senior outer disciple who looked like a fathead fish tilted his head and looked at Chu Cheng.

"Senior brother... what's the matter... I... I am Chu Cheng, what do you command..." Chu Cheng returned from heaven to the mortal world, but soon the mortal world couldn't hold him anymore, and the gates of hell opened.

After the group of outer disciples confirmed that the person in front of them was indeed Chu Cheng, they didn't care about anything else and just started beating him up.

No one can say exactly how long this beating lasted, but everyone knew how long it took for him to get out of bed.

About half a year...

After this beating, the news reached Spirit Crane Palace. When the outer disciples went to collect their elixirs, the scarce medicines were no longer scarce... Not only did the outer disciples receive their rightful share, but even the fathead fish who led the beating on Chu Cheng was rewarded with a bottle of Body Tempering Elixir by the senior brothers of Spirit Crane Palace.

After this... things got better, and beating up Chu Cheng became a daily routine for the outer disciples.

Chu Xinghe also received the news. He looked at Feng Fei, who brought the news, with a pained expression. "Senior brother Feng, how can I handle this..."

"Xinghe junior brother, you're joking. What does this have to do with you? What does it have to do with Spirit Crane Palace? Chu Cheng is narrow-minded. He used to bully others when he was a team leader. Senior brother has already thoroughly investigated this matter. Moreover, he was beaten up by the crowd but framed you, which is truly infuriating. The outer disciples taking action this time is also a matter of righteousness. Naturally, they have to punish this scum!" Feng Fei's words left Chu Xinghe at a loss for how to respond. How could he talk so righteously about bullying others? Senior brother Feng Fei, I misjudged you!

However, why do I feel so fond of it!

Speaking of Chu Cheng, Feng Fei had also inquired about him. Both Chu Xinghe and Chu Cheng came from the same village, but Chu Xinghe was an orphan who relied on the support of the villagers to grow up. Chu Cheng, on the other hand, came from a wealthy family in the village and had been a bully since childhood. Chu Xinghe had been bullied by Chu Cheng for a long time.

Even from Chu Xinghe's previous teammates, it was learned that this guy had even broken Chu Xinghe's arm during an outing trial in Vast Heaven Sect. However, his teammates said that Chu Xinghe was broad-minded and never reported the incident.

The usually gentle Feng Fei was truly angry after hearing all this!

What? Bullying honest people, huh!

It's one thing to bully me, Xinghe junior brother, since we were young, but to dare to cause trouble after joining the sect, even Feng Fei couldn't stand it!

"Forget about all that. We almost delayed the important matter. Xinghe junior brother, the Elder is already waiting at Medicine King Palace. Today, he will personally teach you various entry-level techniques. You're the first one to receive such guidance from the Elder in the art of alchemy." Feng Fei, although envious, also knew that Chu Xinghe was extraordinary.

With the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire, he was destined to reach the peak.

"Ah..." After listening to Feng Fei's words, Chu Xinghe felt helpless... Actually... I never thought about learning alchemy... I heard that learning alchemy requires memorizing all those dry knowledge, but my memory is really bad... I can't do it...

It can be said that no matter how much is said, under the leadership of Feng Fei, Chu Xinghe arrived at the Medicine King Palace.

In the center of the Medicine King Palace, a dazzling dan furnace with a Vermilion Bird phantom stood out. This is the treasured Vermilion Bird Furnace, the symbol of the Medicine King Palace.

This is the dan furnace of the Medicine Saint Lu Changfeng from back then. With the Vermilion Bird Furnace and the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire, Lu Changfeng swept through the world of alchemists, making everyone bow down and establishing the reputation of the Vast Heaven Sect as the number one in the world of medicine.

However, in the four hundred years since then, no one has been able to use the Vermilion Bird Furnace because without the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire, the Vermilion Bird Furnace cannot be activated.

At this moment, the elder was already standing next to the Vermilion Bird Furnace. He looked at the furnace and then at Chu Xinghe, somewhat lost in thought. It was as if he saw the Vermilion Bird Furnace reigniting the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire one day, leading the Vast Heaven Sect to new heights.

"Disciple Chu Xinghe (Feng Fei) pays respects to the elder."

Both of them bowed to the elder together.

"Feng Fei, you have worked hard. Go and teach the other disciples."

"Disciple obeys."

Feng Fei left the Medicine King Palace, leaving behind the miserable Chu Xinghe and the elder full of hope for the future.

In the following time, the elder began by talking about the Vermilion Bird Furnace, recounting the story of the Medicine Saint Lu Changfeng to Chu Xinghe.

It sounds good... but... I don't want to learn alchemy. Chu Xinghe felt even more miserable.

"Identifying herbs is the first step in alchemy. From today onwards, I will personally teach you various methods of identifying herbs. The path of alchemy is arduous, but with the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire in your possession, the future belongs to you."

What does "tedious" mean? Chu Xinghe understood it in just half an afternoon.

What is Evening Primrose... Dark Moon Grass... Soul Moon Grass... Brother... They all look exactly the same. How do I distinguish them? And they only have slight differences in their patterns? Chu Xinghe felt like his eyes were about to explode. He couldn't see any difference at all.

Compass of Misfortune... Isn't this considered a punishment? Can't I get compensated with a peak Martial Ancestor? Isn't this much worse than being confined?

His inner misery reached its peak, but Chu Xinghe had no way out. Why is it so difficult to be expelled from the sect? I just want to become a Martial Emperor in an instant.

Before, Chu Xinghe had thought about whether he would be expelled from the sect if he pointed at the elder's nose and cursed him for being a bad teacher. Would it be considered disrespecting the teacher and destroying the ancestor?

But the result of disrespecting the teacher and destroying the ancestor is not expulsion from the sect, it's being tortured to death!

He didn't want to be reborn, and it seemed that the Compass of Misfortune also had restrictions on such deliberate actions.

If he wanted to court death, he had to do it just right. That's the difficult part. Chu Xinghe looked at the three herbs and thought to himself... Is this Compass of Misfortune considered a system?

According to reason, shouldn't the system provide various help to make oneself rise to the top? Even after obtaining the Compass of Misfortune, there was no help at all... Various tasks are like beautiful women enticing oneself, but not allowing oneself to touch or approach, what does that mean?

"Xinghe, identifying herbs is not something that can be done overnight. You don't need to be discouraged," looking at Chu Xinghe's dejected face, the Elder thought that Chu Xinghe was feeling down because his first day of learning didn't go well.

"Thank you, Elder... How long will it take to learn then?"

"From the time I started as an apprentice to identify herbs, it only took me five years to master the properties of seventy percent of the herbs in the world," the Elder said with a light smile.

"Five... five years?"

"Cough... Xinghe, you don't know, although my talent is not exceptional, it is considered rare once in a hundred years. To master seventy percent in five years is already unparalleled in the world. If one's aptitude is slightly worse, being able to master thirty to fifty percent in ten years would be considered extraordinary."

Crack... a thunderous sound exploded in Chu Xinghe's ears.

Ten years? Thirty to fifty percent?

That's considered slightly worse talent? Then what about someone like himself who doesn't even want to learn? Twenty years... thirty years? Chu Xinghe seemed to see himself sitting here, old and still trying to distinguish the difference between Moon Grass and Moon Soul Grass.

"Alright, today's lesson ends here. You should go back and rest. Come back early tomorrow morning for the next lecture," the Elder smiled and sent the wooden-like Chu Xinghe away.

Chu Xinghe greeted his senior brothers and sisters who passed by in a daze along the way. Now Chu Xinghe was living on the side of Spirit Crane Palace, sharing a room with Feng Fei. This was specially arranged by the Elder.

Seeing Chu Xinghe return to the room like a wooden chicken, Senior Brother Feng Fei was also taken aback, but then he thought that the Elder's demands were strict, so it was normal for Junior Brother Xinghe to be scolded on his first day of learning.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, the Elder is strict, but his alchemy skills are unparalleled in the world. Being able to study under the Elder, Junior Brother must work hard."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Feng... I will work hard..." Chu Xinghe replied woodenly. If he didn't want to work hard now, he just wanted to die.

"What did the Elder teach Junior Brother today?" Feng Fei continued the conversation.

"Identifying herbs... Moon Grass is Moon Grass... Moon Shadow Grass is Moon Shadow Grass, Moon Soul Grass is Moon Grass... I'm so confused..." Chu Xinghe's mind was in chaos.

Feng Fei nodded as if he understood very well, "Junior Brother, don't be discouraged. Identifying herbs is indeed difficult at the beginner level, but once Junior Brother enters the door, the Elder will definitely teach more advanced fire control techniques. At that time, it won't be so boring anymore. Moreover, Junior Brother possesses the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire, and you are the only one who can use the Vermilion Bird Divine Furnace. Your future is limitless, but Junior Brother must not be reckless like the first time. If you damage the Vermilion Bird Furnace, it won't be good."

Feng Fei patiently reminded Chu Xinghe.

But Chu Xinghe only heard one sentence from Feng Fei...

Damage the Vermilion Bird Furnace?

There's such a thing?
