Although Liu Datou exercised his privilege and allowed Chen Dong to go down the mountain at any time, there was no time limit.
But Chen Dong had nothing to do and there was no need to go down the mountain.
In the following days, Chen Dong devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
Xiao Xiao doesn’t need to meet him for the time being. Anyway, there will be many opportunities to meet him in the future.
But green lotus grass must be picked.
This is also the task assigned to Chen Dong by the sloppy Taoist.
Although he didn't see green lotus grass last time he entered Qingyun Peak, Chen Dong believed that the sloppy Taoist would not make any mistakes.
As long as you win the top three in the newcomer competition, you will definitely be able to see the Green Lotus Grass.
The sloppy Taoist treats Chen Dong as kindly as a mountain, not only to repay him with a spring of water, but also to do his best.
Chen Dong spends all his time every day except eating, drinking and sleeping.
Do not leave home and practice behind closed doors.
In Qingyun Mountain, the "spiritual energy" is obviously stronger than in other places.
——This is also easy to understand. Even an ordinary person will feel refreshed if he takes a deep breath when he goes to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
Ordinary people are like this, let alone practitioners who concentrate on "breathing in and out"?
This can also explain why "famous sects" are built in deep mountains and old forests.
Chen Dong's talent is outstanding, even among a group of geniuses, he can still be ranked among the top.
That's why his progress is very fast.
But even he clearly felt that his speed had slowed down after becoming a fourth-level master.
Although there is progress every day, and some internal energy can be "condensed" into the Dantian every day, there is still a long way to go to upgrade to a "five-level master".
Sure enough, the further back you go, the harder it gets.
Chen Dong had been "in seclusion" for at least more than a month, and found that he had reached the stage of "mid-level fourth-level master" in cultivation.
——Yes, even at each level, there are early stages, middle stages, late stages and peak stages.
If you're at the top, you're not far away from leveling up.
In other words, it will take at least two months to reach level five master.
At this speed, it is already quite fast for most disciples of Qingyun Temple. After hearing about it, many people will be so envious that their eyes will turn red!
Huangfuzhen, the most talented disciple in the past ten years, only reached the peak of the fifth-level master in one year.
However, Chen Dong himself was still not satisfied.
Chen Dong once heard a sloppy Taoist say that if you want to win the top three in the rookie competition, you must be at least a "level five master".
Chen Dong can't wait to be promoted to level five master.
…
So besides conventional cultivation methods, are there any other auxiliary methods?
The answer is yes.
For example, take Qi Gathering Pills.
Although this thing is a low-level elixir, it is also extremely difficult to find. There are only a few in the entire Qingyun Temple, and the disciples must make great contributions to be rewarded.
Alchemists can make Qi Gathering Pills, but unfortunately there are not many alchemists in the entire Yanxia Continent.
Asking an alchemist to take action is simply more difficult than reaching the sky.
Not only does it require high fees, but it also requires a lot of face, but often no one can find it.
Another thing is to find a place with strong "spiritual energy" to practice.
The so-called spiritual energy is a mysterious and mysterious thing. No one can explain exactly what it is, but the "air" in certain places does help to cultivate internal strength.
This kind of place is not easy to find and often requires time and effort. Of course, the more important thing is luck and strength.
Otherwise, even if it is found, it will be taken away by other strong men.
For example, Qingyun Mountain is a spiritual land, and Qingyun Peak is the spiritual land among spiritual lands.
Unfortunately, Qingyun Peak is not accessible to ordinary people. Only inner disciples are eligible to enjoy this benefit.
Because "spiritual energy" also has a quantity, it is a rare energy source like coal and oil, and it requires continuous nurturing by mountains of vegetation and rocks to form.
If there are too many people, the food will naturally be "used up" quickly.
Therefore, the flow of people must be controlled in order to achieve a balance between "income and expenditure".
…
Chen Dong has neither of these two things.
I could only rely on my "talent" to practice. Even though I was already very, very fast, I didn't break through to the fifth level master until two months later!
During this period, Chen Dong has been practicing in the Punishment Department.
Qingyunzi constantly sent people to monitor his behavior, but nothing was discovered.
There were still people coming and going in the Discipline and Punishment Department, but they no longer had any interactions or interactions with Chen Dong.
After the "slaughter of fellow disciples" incident, Chen Dong has become famous in Qingyun Temple, and few people dare to take the initiative to provoke and offend him.
On the day he broke through to the fifth level master, Chen Dong was extremely happy.
Chen Dong went to the foot of the mountain to buy some wine and food, and came back to drink with Liu Datou.
"Half a year, a fifth-level master."
Liu Datou gave Chen Dong a thumbs up.
"You are very powerful, very powerful. You have even caught up with me! No wonder the sloppy Taoist accepted you as his disciple..."
Chen Dong said inexplicably: "Brother Liu, are you praising me or you?"
"It's all the same!"
Liu Datou laughed heartily.
Chen Dong laughed for a while and said, "Brother Liu, I want to win the top three in the rookie competition."
"Well, there should be no problem. Isn't it still half a year? If there are no surprises, it will be enough for you to reach the peak of the fifth-level master!"
"There's still half a year left and you won't be able to reach the sixth level master?"
"Hehe, it gets harder the further you go, I've already estimated you according to the standard of a 'top genius'!"
Chen Dong had nothing to say and could only continue to practice.
But a few days later, Chen Dong suddenly received a call.
It's from Yuan Kong.
On the phone, Yuankong's voice turned out to be very weak.
"Master...Master, it's not good..."
Chen Dong was of course very shocked and immediately asked him what was going on?
"It's not convenient to say it over the phone, so come..."
Yuankong gave Chen Dong an address, which was a black clinic in a village in the provincial capital.
Of course Chen Dong was very surprised.
Even if Yuankong is injured, with the financial resources of Fenghe Group in the provincial capital, it will be no problem for him to recuperate in a top hospital!
But the situation was urgent and Chen Dong didn't have time to ask so many questions.
After filing a leave of absence with Liu Datou, Chen Dong immediately went down the mountain to the provincial capital.
…
Provincial capital, a village in a city.
This urban village is facing demolition, with ruins everywhere and sewage flowing across it.
Chen Dong took a deep kick and then a shallow kick, twisting and turning in the alley, and finally came to the address reported by Yuankong.
It is indeed a black clinic.
It's small, cramped, and the signs are all rusty. I can't believe there are people living here.
Chen Dong pushed the door open and went in.
A doctor in a white coat came out.
"For what?"
The doctor's face was full of impatience.
"I'm looking for Yuan Kong."
Chen Dong said immediately.
"What is round space and square space..."
Before the doctor finished speaking, a faint voice came from the room: "It's me..."
Chen Dong heard that it was Yuan Kong's voice and immediately walked inside.
The doctor grabbed Chen Dong and said, "Haha, you are finally here. He owes me a total of 35,080 yuan in medical expenses..."
How could Chen Dong care about this little money? He transferred the money to the doctor on the spot.
After the doctor confirmed that the account had been received, he took Chen Dong into the back room.
The back room was arranged like a clinic, with medicines, instruments, and the smell of disinfectant everywhere. There was an operating table in the middle.
What surprised Chen Dong was that Yuankong was lying on the operating table.
It doesn't matter if his face is pale, weak, scarred, and stained with blood.
His clothes were almost stripped off, leaving only a pair of trousers on his body.
There were actually quite a few lines drawn on his scarred body, and there were several nurses holding scalpels standing next to him.
"What are you planning to do?" Chen Dong looked surprised.
"What can we do?" The doctor sneered: "He has been unable to pay the medical bills, so I am going to dismantle his organs and sell them for money..."
Chen Dong's brain suddenly exploded.
…
Chen Dong has never been so angry since he came in.
If you want money, give it immediately.
I also endured scolding and scolding.
Chen Dong just wanted to see Yuan Kong as soon as possible and ask what was going on.
When he saw Yuan Kong, Chen Dong's whole body exploded.
What does it mean to be bullied by a dog when the tiger falls flat?
That's it.
Chen Dong just wants to kill people now.
Chen Dong roared and performed Bajiquan and Soul-Chasing Eighteen Kicks in the small consulting room.
He doesn't care about men or women, doctors or nurses.
They all beat him half to death.
Chen Dong really wanted to kill them, but Yuankong said feebly: "Forget it...forget it...don't blame them..."
Only then did Chen Dong rush to Yuan Kong and check the injuries on his body.
It was indeed very serious. There were penetrating injuries in many places. It looked like they were caused by sharp objects.
The key is that the doctors in this black clinic are not very good. They only performed simple suturing, hemostasis and bandaging.
Some places are even inflamed.
Chen Dong strongly suppressed his anger, took out the Xiongshe Pills from his pocket, and stuffed one into Yuankong's mouth.
The effect of Xiong She Wan is really good.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Yuan Kong's spirit improved a lot.
Chen Dong asked the doctors and nurses to get up again, disinfect Yuankong, stop the bleeding, and bandage her again.
After the completion of the series, coupled with the effectiveness of the Kumaucha Pill, Enkong was able to stand up and move around.
"Master, thank you for saving me..."
Yuankong knelt down with a "pop" sound.
Chen Dong quickly helped him up.
"What's going on?" Chen Dong asked.
"Master..." Yuankong was jealous: "Fenghe Group is finished!"
This was undoubtedly the second thing that made Chen Dong's brain explode.
Then, Yuankong recounted everything that had happened in the past few months.
It turns out that after Du Huo's death, Fenghe Group, which had two masters, Qinghu and Yuankong, had indeed been brilliant for a while, overwhelming the Yu family and Huangfu family to the point where they could hardly breathe.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Huangfu Gang, the head of the Huangfu family, called back his son Huangfu Zhen, who was practicing in Qingyun Temple.
Huangfu Zhen, a seventh-level master, is the most talented person in Qingyun Temple in the past ten years!
The addition of Huangfu Zhen quickly turned the situation around.
When the economic status and network resources of both parties are similar, the competition is to see who is more powerful among their masters.
Whoever can kill the other party outside of legal supervision will be the winner with the last laugh.
Even if Yuankong and Qinghu join forces, they are no match for Huangfuzhen.
Even though Qin Rui spent a lot of money to recruit experts, it was difficult to find anyone above the seventh-level master.
After many sneak attacks and assassinations, Fenghe Group was retreating steadily.
During this period, Qin Rui even approached Qingyun Temple, hoping that Qingyunzi could come forward to coordinate the matter.
It's a pity that Qingyunzi can't stop him, Huangfu just wants to fight Qin Rui to the death.
In the end, Qinghu died and Yuankong was seriously injured.
If this continues, Qin Rui will also be killed.
Qin Rui had to temporarily withdraw from the provincial capital.
"Where has he gone?" Chen Dong asked anxiously.
"Went to Beijing..." Yuankong gasped and said, "I went with your mother to find Marshal Yang, saying that when he comes back, he will uproot the Huangfu family..."
