Chapter 72 Kill me? Try it.
In the small room, there was only a small table and a stool besides a single bamboo couch.
If there is too much, there will be no room for anything.
The other room was empty, with a landscape painting hanging on the wall and a futon on the floor.
The cultivators all seek immortality alone, and carry valuable things with them in storage bags. The residence within the sect has no meaning to them, it is just a private space for convenient cultivation.
The range of the Spirit Gathering Array is limited, so of course it uses the limited space to accommodate more people for cultivation.
If it weren't for the fact that the outer disciples have low cultivation levels and still need to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep, this bed would probably be redundant.
Ruan Xing turned over and changed into a comfortable position to prepare to start text simulation.
[Simulating]
At the age of six, you entered the Xuanbing Sect and became an outer disciple. You decided to practice diligently in the sect and never go out unless necessary.
In the evening, Zhao Fengchun came to your residence to find you and said that he was worried that you were not used to the sect. You also wanted to know more about the sect, so you opened the door and let her in.
Then, Zhao Fengchun killed you when you were not prepared.
[End of simulation]
Damn!! My ten points!
When Ruan Xing saw just a few lines of words, he wailed in his heart before he even read the content carefully.
No, how could he die after joining the sect?
Is Wang Zhi really that arrogant?
As for why she didn't suspect Zhao Fengchun herself, it was because Ruan Xing had fought with her many times in the simulation, and the opponent was a complete naive person at the fourth level of Qi training. It was impossible for her to launch a successful sneak attack with her level of cultivation.
As far as she knew, Wang Zhi's name and appearance were disguised. Ruan Xing had seen his disguise no less than a hundred times in her simulated memory and could not find any flaws. It was possible that he disguised himself as Zhao Fengchun to kill her.
So the question is, the Zhao Fengchun during the day must be real, so how could that evil cultivator move freely in the Xuanbing Sect without the sect's jade token?
He must have an apparent identity.
Ruan Xing immediately suspected Xie Huai because when she first met him, the way he looked at her was strange.
If you think about it carefully, many things can be found to match.
However, Ruan Xing still needs to simulate it once to confirm whether it is him.
Ruan Xing chose memory listlessly. After reading it once and not getting any useful information, he started the real-life simulation.
Zhao Fengchun would not arrive until the evening, so she still had the entire afternoon to use. After thinking for a while, she decided to visit her neighbors.
In order to maximize the utilization of the spirit gathering array, the houses in Bingziyuan are arranged very closely together, with only a few narrow paths for people to pass through.
There was no one living in the house on the left. After the door on the right was knocked open, a baby-faced boy came inside.
He opened the door and saw Ruan Xing, a hint of confusion appeared on his face, "What's the matter?"
"My fellow apprentice, I'm the new one who moved next door." Ruan Xing smiled and offered a bottle of Qi Condensation Pills. "We'll be neighbors from now on. Please take care of me."
This was probably the first time the young man had encountered such a situation, and his face was full of surprise. "No need, Senior Sister, I can't take care of you. There are so many people coming and going in Bingziyuan, and we can't be neighbors for a long time."
The young man was obviously very tempted by the Qi Gathering Pill, but he still rejected Ruan Xing and was about to close the door.
"Junior brother, don't think too much. I'm a generous person. Just think of it as a gift to you as a friend. Just chat with me." Ruan Xing put one hand against the door, and the boy's strength could no longer shake the bamboo door. She had a sweet and harmless smile on her face. "I just joined the Xuanbing Sect today, and I need a fellow disciple to help me explain."
Ruan Xing's cultivation was higher than his. He seemed polite but his attitude was tough. Seeing that he could no longer refuse, the young man whispered, "Well, well, Senior Sister, please come in and tell me."
The two entered the boy's room. His residence looked the same as Ruan Xing's, but it had more of a living atmosphere and there was a pot of tea on the table.
There was only one low stool in the room. Ruan Xing sat on the boy's bamboo couch without any hesitation. The boy poured her a cup of tea a little awkwardly, "What do you want to know, Senior Sister?"
"How long have you been in Xuanbing Sect?"
"It's been three years."
Ruan Xing was a little surprised when he heard this. Doesn't that mean he was from the same period as Zhao Fengchun? "Do you know Zhao Fengchun?"
The young man nodded, "Senior Sister Zhao, I recognize you."
Ruan Xing looked like he was listening attentively. The young man paused and continued, "Three years ago, Senior Sister Zhao and I were both mortals brought in by other senior brothers. We took the course of drawing Qi into the body together and had a few encounters, but we didn't have much friendship. More than a year ago, she somehow got in touch with Senior Brother Qin. Senior Brother Qin always took her with him on sect missions. Not only did her cultivation level improve by leaps and bounds, but she also suddenly had a lot of spirit stones and moved into Yiziyuan. We haven't seen each other much since then."
There was a barely perceptible hint of jealousy hidden beneath the boy's gloomy expression.
Ruan Xing sighed secretly, it seemed that she had chosen a good residence. If she died tonight, then the neighbor boy who was hostile to Zhao Fengchun would become the best witness. By then, the evil cultivator would fabricate some physical evidence for the naive Zhao Fengchun, then Zhao Fengchun would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
Many disciples had witnessed how close she and Zhao Fengchun were to each other all day long. If the evil cultivator falsely accused them of the collapse of the secret realm, and used the excuse of uneven distribution of the spoils to say that Zhao Fengchun had launched a sneak attack, although it was a bit far-fetched for a Qi training level 4 cultivator to kill a Qi training level 9 cultivator, it was still plausible.
Or maybe the evil cultivator doesn't need to go through so much trouble at all. He can just kill her, take her storage bag and run away. It doesn't matter if he gives up his identity as a Xuanbing Sect member.
But the premise of all this is that they can find Hanshan Mosui in her body.
She didn't carry such a key item with her.
Ruan Xing raised the corners of his lips, "What about Xie Huai? Do you know anything about him?"
"Senior Brother Xie?" The young man was stunned for a moment and shook his head. "Senior Brother Xie had already completed his Qi training when he entered the sect last year. How could I be qualified to meet him? But I heard that he has a very good aptitude. He started to draw Qi at the age of thirteen and is only nineteen this year, but he is about to build his foundation. He is also handsome and has a gentle personality. The brothers and sisters who have teamed up with him to complete sect missions all praised him highly. He is the dream partner of all the female cultivators in the outer sect."
This is similar to what she learned at the entrance of the secret realm. It seems that Xie Huai is recognized as a good senior brother by the outer disciples.
However, Ruan Xing had read too many novels, and the more he heard others say this, the more suspicious he felt that the other party was.
This kind of character usually becomes a big boss in the end.
"Okay, then do you know where he lives?" "No. 49, Jiaziyuan." The young man said firmly, "I often hear other sisters mention him, so I can't be wrong."
After asking what he wanted to know, Ruan Xing stood up and put the medicine bottle on the table, "Thank you for your cooperation, Junior Brother. Goodbye."
After leaving the junior brother's hut, she walked through most of the B-Yard and came to the A-Yard area, where she found Xie Huai's residence. Unfortunately, the other person was not in the house.
Ruan Xing left with some disappointment, thought for a while, and turned towards the Zongwu Hall.
And at this moment, the treasure pavilion.
Xie Huai had just counted and recorded the more than 5,000 spirit stones collected from the secret realm and put them into the warehouse. After coming out of the warehouse, he went to the main hall of the treasure pavilion.
The old monk sitting at the counter saw Xie Huai and said, "Junior Brother Xie, why are you back again? Is there anything else you forgot to tell me?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that Junior Sister Ruan likes quietness, so I hurried over to tell you, brother. I haven't thanked you yet, so sorry to bother you, brother." Xie Huai smiled apologetically.
"Well, it's not a big deal. There are many empty rooms in the Bing Courtyard, and it won't be a problem to move to a place with fewer people. But you, the new junior sister, are so caring to you. No wonder so many junior sisters in the outer sect like you." The old monk waved his hand and said half-jokingly.
Xie Huaijun blushed slightly, with a hint of embarrassment, "Brother, you are joking. Xie Huai is only focused on cultivation and has no other thoughts."
……
Since it was just a simulation, Ruan Xing had nothing to worry about. He grabbed a few outer disciples on the way to ask for directions and soon found the Sect Affairs Hall.
The Sect Affairs Hall had a wide range of management areas, and Ruan Xing was confused for a long time before he found the place to accept sect missions and collect rewards.
Although Qin Yi said that he would personally teach her how to complete the sect mission tomorrow, she had nothing to do now, so she wanted to come and learn about it in advance.
Sect missions are divided into four levels, namely, heaven, earth, black and yellow, just like the skills of the previous ones. However, those above the middle level of black are not open to outer disciples. Those are things that only inner disciples can do, as their cultivation is not high enough.
However, there are some cases where inner disciples and outer disciples work together on the same lower-level Xuan-level team mission, but they are rare.
The rewards for these tasks are determined by level, difficulty, and degree of danger. Tasks issued by the sect only offer contribution point rewards, while the rewards for tasks issued by individuals are more varied, including spirit stones, contribution points, elixirs, materials, and the like, as well as the recruitment of teammates.
Many of the tasks issued by the sect are valid for a long time and have no limit on the number of people who can accept them, such as recruiting disciples and giving external classes.
However, since these two are not very dangerous and the contribution point rewards are not much, they are the type that are tasteless to eat but a pity to throw away.
Ruan Xing looked around but couldn't find any tasks that didn't require him to go out but offered high rewards. It seemed that he could only rely on time to accumulate experience.
Seeing that it was almost evening, Ruan Xing went to the cafeteria to get a lunch box to take back and eat, slowly waiting for night to fall.
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the fog on Xuanbing Sect Mountain lingers all day long. The bright moonlight shines down, covering the entire mountain with a hazy veil.
knock --
There was a knock on the door, and Zhao Fengchun's voice came from outside the door, "Junior Sister Ruan, are you in there?"
The demon cultivator is coming... Ruan Xing perked up and responded, "I'm here."
After opening the door, the two smiled at each other. Zhao Fengchun said, "I guess you must be uncomfortable on your first day in the sect, so I came to see you. Sure enough, you haven't slept yet."
Ruan Xing nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also guessed that you would be worried after seeing me, and you would definitely come to find me. I was waiting for you, and sure enough, you came."
This was a nonsensical statement. Zhao Fengchun felt something was wrong and was stunned for a moment. "What?"
"Brother Xie, guess what will happen if I shout for help now that there is a demon cultivator?" The smile on Ruan Xing's face deepened.
Zhao Fengchun's eyes were uncertain, and after a while, he suddenly laughed, "Junior sister, stop joking. The sect has strict inspections, how could there be a demon cultivator?"
"Who is kidding you? Xie Huai, Liu Bi, what do you want me to call you? Let me be frank. I know you are a demon cultivator. Even if you disguise yourself as a formation cultivator, your magic power cannot deceive people. If you are detected, how can you be an undercover agent in Xuanbing Sect?"
Zhao Fengchun's face darkened, "How can you be considered a good person? You intercepted and took away the ink marrow on the way, and I spared you by not killing you at the entrance of the secret realm. You dare to come to Xuanbing Sect and show off in front of me. Do you think you can hide your identity as an evil cultivator if you make a scene?"
"Huh?" Ruan Xing suddenly laughed happily, stretched out her hand and used a stream of pure spiritual power to swirl in her palm, "Why are you so sure that I am an evil cultivator? I am practicing the basic Qi training formula, no matter how you test it, there will be no second possibility."
"What a good trick." Zhao Fengchun said with a sinister look, "How on earth did you do it? You can see through my disguise at a glance, and I can't sense where you hid the ink marrow at all."
"Don't worry about it. We each rely on our own abilities to deal with the Hanshan Secret Realm. Don't blame me if you are not as skilled as me. Now we are talking about another matter. You want to kill me in Xuanbing Sect. Let's not talk about whether you can kill me quietly. Even if I really get caught off guard and get killed by you, I guarantee that the whole sect will know that you are a demon cultivator the next day, and you will definitely not be able to get the ink marrow from me. What do you think? Do you want to take a gamble on this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit yourself?"
Ruan Xing was calm and composed. She was sure that Xie Huai would not take action unless he was absolutely sure. Xie Huai was insidious and cunning, and he valued his life very much. He would not put himself in danger just to vent his anger.
Moreover, since the failure in Hanshan Secret Realm, his arrogance and self-confidence have been hit hard. From the previous simulation, it can be seen that he can actually be fooled successfully, just by taking advantage of his suspicion.
If Xie Huai really gets impulsive...it doesn't matter, it's just one point, I can try again next time.
Zhao Fengchun fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Although you have been prepared and have not practiced any evil techniques, the ink marrow is only useful to the devil sect and evil practitioners. Since you have taken the ink marrow, we are half fellow practitioners. As long as you do not expose my identity, I can temporarily not kill you."
"No, no, no." Ruan Xing stretched out a finger and shook it left and right. "As long as you can bear the risk of your identity being exposed, you can come and kill me at any time. I welcome it. But if I am alive and you want me to shut up, that is another price."
Zhao Fengchun was a little annoyed, "What do you want?"
Ruan Xing asked for a huge sum of money.
"First of all, I really like your disguise technique. Teach me."
"Secondly, you have already established your foundation. Contribution points are useless to you. Give them to me."
"Finally, do you have any spiritual stones on you? Give them to me."
"Liu! Bo!!" Zhao Fengchun gritted his teeth and growled, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Speak more quietly, is it glorious?" Ruan Xing rubbed his ears, "It would be bad if the neighbors heard us plotting this."
