Early in the morning, disciples from Spirit Crane Palace brought exclusive robes for Chu Xinghe, the core disciple.

The black robes of the core disciple were adorned with golden threads on the edges, as if speaking of the status of a core disciple.

According to the rules, the robes for core disciples should have been delivered within three days. However, Xinghe's words last night truly moved everyone.

Therefore, the senior brother in charge of the core disciple robes stayed up all night and rushed to deliver Chu Xinghe's core disciple robes early in the morning. The robes even had two extra ounces of golden threads and were more exquisite.

Chu Xinghe put on the attire representing a core disciple, but there was not much smile on his face.

It's difficult... It was already difficult to remove the identity of an elite disciple, so wouldn't it be even more difficult to remove the identity of a core disciple?

The only thing that made Chu Xinghe happy was that the reward for losing the identity of a core disciple from the Compass of Misfortune seemed to be higher.

Previously, losing the identity of an elite disciple rewarded the cultivation of a peak Martial Ancestor, but now, if the identity of a core disciple was lost, the reward would be the cultivation of a peak Fifth Grade Martial Spirit at the First Grade level!

Looking at it this way, it seems like it's not completely unacceptable.

After washing up, Chu Xinghe had breakfast with many senior brothers and then came to Medicine King Palace.

The fire last night razed the entire Medicine King Palace to the ground. Except for the Vermilion Bird Furnace still standing firmly, everything else that could burn was completely destroyed.

At this moment, disciples from Spirit Crane Palace had already started cleaning up the aftermath and preparing to rebuild Medicine King Palace.

Chu Xinghe did feel a bit guilty, so he joined the team to help.

"Xinghe Shixiong... Shidi... You don't need to help here..."

"Xinghe Shidi, you stayed up all night yesterday. Take a rest first."

Although he was rejected in various ways, Chu Xinghe still helped with various tasks. He willingly did whatever work was difficult or tiring, which deeply moved the group of senior brothers.

Look... Other core disciples act like they're superior, but look at our Xinghe Shidi. He doesn't just talk, he leads by example!

They kept busy until noon, and while other senior brothers started resting, Chu Xinghe didn't rest.

Today was the day when various palaces came to collect medicinal resources. Although Medicine King Palace was burned down and many medicinal herbs were reduced to ashes, the foundation of Spirit Crane Palace was still there, and the supply to the various palaces was not interrupted.

Chu Xinghe helped the disciples in charge of distributing the medicinal resources, busying himself with various tasks. The disciple in charge was also deeply moved.

Although Chu Xinghe was tired, doing this kind of work was also a way to vent his guilt and resentment.

"Senior brothers, I am Liu Bo from the outer sect, here to collect the medicinal resources for the outer sect." A guy who looked like a fat fish lowered his head and spoke politely.

There was no way around it, outer sect disciples were like this.

The disciple in charge of distributing the medicine casually handed over the medicinal resources to this fat fish Liu Bo.

But Chu Xinghe remembered this guy. Wasn't this fat fish the one who brutally beat Chu Cheng in the outer sect last time?

Thinking of Chu Cheng, Chu Xinghe spoke up, "You are Liu Bo from the outer sect?"

In response to Chu Xinghe's words, Liu Bo said, "Yes, Shixiong!"

"I am Chu Xinghe."

"Ah? Chu... Chu Shixiong, hello..." Liu Bo obviously knew Chu Xinghe.

"Hello, Chu Cheng and I are from the same hometown."

As soon as Chu Xinghe said this, Liu Bo broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that the reason he beat Chu Cheng so badly last time was because Chu Cheng spread rumors about Chu Xinghe behind his back, and he even received a reward for it.

Liu Bo didn't understand. What did Chu Xinghe mean by finding him today? Was it because he was too heavy-handed? Did Chu Xinghe, out of consideration for their hometown connection, want to stand up for Chu Cheng?

"Liu Bo, Chu Cheng and I are from the same hometown after all. What happened before is in the past. But I still hope that you can take care of Chu Cheng more in the outer sect. We mustn't forget our hometown connection. No matter what Chu Cheng has done, he will always be my fellow townsman."

After Chu Xinghe finished speaking, both Liu Bo and the disciples from Spirit Crane Palace were stunned.

Listen!

This is the realm!

Everyone knew about Chu Cheng spreading rumors about Chu Xinghe before.

Some even speculated that Chu Xinghe was behind the scenes orchestrating the beating of Chu Cheng.

But now, hearing Chu Xinghe's words, Liu Bo truly admired him. There really are people in this world with such broad-mindedness. Such a person is actually suspected of plotting against others behind their backs? Is there any justice or law in this world?

Chu Xinghe casually took out a bottle of Spirit Pill from the side and handed it to Liu Bo, saying, "Liu Bo Shidi, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you can take care of Chu Cheng more in the outer sect for my sake."

"Ah..." Liu Bo looked at the pill in his hand, feeling both honored and surprised.

"Okay... okay..." After confirming that Chu Xinghe was not being sarcastic, Liu Bo said seriously, "Senior Brother Chu, rest assured, starting from today, with me in the outer sect, no one will dare to bully Chu Cheng!"

"I can rest assured with your words." Chu Xinghe replied with a grateful smile.

Liu Bo prepared to leave after bowing, but at this moment, Feng Fei walked over from not far away. It was clear that he had witnessed everything that happened just now, and he truly admired Chu Xinghe. When he arranged for someone to deal with Chu Cheng earlier, he thought Chu Xinghe was just pretending, but today's conversation with Liu Bo made Feng Fei understand.

He had underestimated Junior Brother Xinghe. His heart was truly broad! He was truly righteous!

"Junior Brother Xinghe, this is not right." Feng Fei shook his head with a sigh.

"Ah? Is it because of the pill? Senior Brother Feng, rest assured, I will make up for that pill." Chu Xinghe said.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, I'm not talking about the pill. When has our Spirit Crane Palace ever lacked pills? I'm talking about your actions just now. Senior Brother knows that you are a good person, but Chu Cheng has a terrible character. He maliciously slandered you behind your back. It was only right to punish him a little. But now you let someone take care of him. From what I know about him, he will not appreciate your kindness, but instead, he will become even worse." Feng Fei's words made everyone around nod in agreement, thinking that Junior Brother Xinghe was too naive.

"Moreover, whether it's the inner sect or the outer sect of the Vast Heaven Sect, strength is respected. If Chu Cheng truly has exceptional talent, even if he is sent to the outer sect, he can rise again. But by having Liu Bo take care of him, he will not remember your kindness, and it won't benefit his cultivation. Today, he was beaten because of his lack of strength, and you gave Liu Bo a pill to take care of him. What if he gets beaten again tomorrow?" Feng Fei shook his head.

"I understand what Senior Brother Feng means, but he is still my fellow townsman. This is the only thing I can do for him. If someone really beats him again, all I can do is give them another pill and ask them not to beat him." Chu Xinghe said with a naive expression, causing Feng Fei to shake his head.

In the end, Feng Fei didn't say anything more. After all, Junior Brother Xinghe's pure and innocent character was what everyone liked about him.

Feng Fei left, and on the other side, Fatty Yu, who hadn't gone far, happened to overhear the conversation between Chu Xinghe and Feng Fei. The earlier words made Fatty Yu worry that the pills he had obtained would be taken back, but the later words made Fatty Yu's eyes light up.

Chu Xinghe, whether you're naive or not, Fatty Yu doesn't care. What he cares about is... if someone else beats Chu Cheng, will Chu Xinghe give out pills again?

Damn... there's such a good thing?

Fatty Yu's excitement made his pants a little wet, and his narrowed eyes sparkled brightly!

Pills! Here I come!

Fatty Yu left Spirit Crane Palace excitedly, unaware that Chu Xinghe, who was far away, was looking at the direction he left and his excited expression with a satisfied smile.

Chu Cheng, you little brat!

You actually didn't die last time! But that's fine, I'll slowly torture you! It just so happens that I'm in a bad mood, so let Fatty Yu teach you a lesson!

In the outer sect, Chu Cheng, who was bound like a mummy, lay on the bed.

"I control my own destiny, not the heavens!"

As the most talented youth in the mountain village, Chu Cheng did not fall down because of a few setbacks. Chu Cheng vowed that when the opportunity came, he would personally take Chu Xinghe's head with a three-foot sword!

No! There's also that fathead fish!

That guy must have been brought by Chu Xinghe, it must be him!

He wanted to chop off his head and make it into fish head with chopped peppers.

Let him know that the price to pay for provoking me, Chu Cheng, is something he can't bear.

Just as Chu Cheng was thinking about becoming the peak Martial Emperor and pointing his sword at the world, the door was kicked open with a bang.

A fathead fish and a group of people rushed in from outside.

"Oh... you guys shouldn't do this... Senior Brother Chu Xinghe instructed us to take care of his fellow villager, I have to stop you, you can't lay a hand on Chu Cheng... oh... I can't stop so many of you..."

Terrible acting!

Extremely terrible!

Before Chu Cheng could express his opinion on the fathead fish's acting with his mouth, a fist the size of a sand glass was already in front of him...

The dream of becoming the peak Martial Emperor was shattered by a fist, and a group of people beat Chu Cheng mercilessly. No one knew how long the beating lasted, but it was certain that Chu Cheng's plan of becoming a Martial Emperor and controlling his own destiny would be postponed for more than a year.

In the afternoon, Chu Xinghe continued to follow everyone in the Medicine King Palace, busy with various tasks. The Elder brought many other elders to take a look. When they saw Chu Xinghe working hard with everyone, both the Elder and the other elders nodded.

"This child... has an excellent character."

"Yes, Elder. Xinghe has a pure and sincere character. Even though he has become a core disciple now, he is not the least bit arrogant. I heard from the disciples below that he still calls everyone senior brother, only following the rules of the sect when outsiders are present."

"What a good child. Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire, the inheritance of the Medicine Saint. Either one of them is enough to make someone a pride of heaven. But this child is not the least bit proud. Truly blessed by Vast Heaven!"

The Elder, with his burnt beard, showed a satisfied smile.

Whether it's martial dao or alchemy, talent is certainly important, but character is even more important. How many people in this world have extraordinary talent but end up disrespecting their teachers and destroying their ancestral teachings?

But look at Chu Xinghe. He is humble to his fellow disciples and respectful to his senior martial brothers. Such a child deserves to possess the Vermilion Bird Spirit Fire and receive the inheritance of the Medicine Saint, yet he remains true to his original intentions.

The Elder felt that bringing Chu Xinghe to the Spirit Crane Palace was the best decision he had ever made in his life.
