Chapter 61
: Behave yourself, stay alert, don't embarrass yourself!
Two people rode on swords, and one person rode on a bench, landing on a mountain peak at the outermost edge of the inner sect. Su Yi stared blankly at the dilapidated thatched hut in front of him.
The thatched hut in front of us had walls made of wooden planks, with thatch haphazardly laid on top, looking dilapidated and as if it could collapse at any moment.
There are still seven or eight such thatched huts here, two or three of which have collapsed and are no longer considered houses.
Compared to the square courtyard house outside the gate, the thatched hut in front of me is not even as good as the toilet outside the gate.
No, this is where the inner disciples live!
I thought I had been exiled by the sect!
Looking at the thatched hut before him, Chen Feng sighed and said, "I never expected that six years would pass and this place would remain completely unchanged!"
After expressing his feelings, Chen Feng looked at Su Yi and the other person, feeling puzzled.
Why should prodigies like Su Yi and Su Yi have to go through the same procedures as ordinary inner disciples?
Logically speaking, shouldn't someone like Junior Brother Su be directly accepted as a personal disciple by the sect leader?
Strangely, when Elder Zhifeng, who had crashed into the mountain with his sword after drinking, found him with a bruised and swollen face and asked him to guide Su Yi and the other person, everything proceeded as normal.
This is completely burying Junior Brother Su's talent!
Although he thought this way, Chen Feng did not refute the elder's words. Looking at the elder's bruised and swollen face and his grimacing appearance, he figured that the sect leader and the elders probably had their own deeper meaning.
And of course, you must never use your sword after drinking alcohol!
"Oh? Senior brother also lived here?" Su Yi interrupted Chen Feng's thoughts with a curious smile.
"When I first entered the inner sect, I also lived here. In the blink of an eye, six or seven years have passed!" Chen Feng replied with a smile, snapping out of his reverie.
Seemingly noticing Su Yi's slight disdain for the thatched hut, Chen Feng said solemnly, "We cultivators are not concerned with our lodging and transportation. A harsh environment can actually temper our heart in the pursuit of the Dao."
Su Yi asked with a disbelieving look, "Then where does Senior Brother live now?"
Chen Feng honestly replied, "I currently live alone in a two-courtyard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) on a sacred mountain near Luoxia Peak!"
"??? No, buddy, I cultivate my Dao heart and live in a thatched hut, while you cultivate your Dao heart and live in a courtyard house?"
Seeing the dissatisfaction on Su Yi and Gu Wanquan's faces, Chen Feng smiled mysteriously and said, "Are you two junior brothers wondering why there's such a big difference in our living conditions?"
Nonsense, why don't you give up your courtyard house?
Chen Feng quickly followed up, saying, "This isn't because I'm deliberately making things difficult for my two junior brothers; it's related to the inner sect rules of the Luo Xia Immortal Sect!"
The Luoxia Immortal Sect has a total of 751 inner disciples, who are divided into three stages.
Those at the first to third level of Foundation Establishment reside on the outermost perimeter of the inner gate, while those at the fourth to sixth level of Foundation Establishment reside on the innermost side of the outer perimeter.
Those at the seventh to ninth level of Foundation Establishment reside in the area closest to the main peak, Luoxia Peak.
Only the sect leader, elders, and a few dozen personal disciples reside on the main peak.
The disciples who had just entered the inner sect were naturally assigned to the outermost mountain peak, which is where Su Yi is standing now.
"Junior brother, would you like to stay in a nicer place?" Chen Feng asked mysteriously.
"Does Senior Brother have connections?" Su Yi immediately asked.
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "There's no special way, only a method: keep challenging other inner disciples, and after you win, you can stay in the loser's house!"
"This is also part of the sect's plan to encourage its disciples to engage in normal sparring!"
Su Yi's eyes lit up. "You should have said so earlier! I thought we were really going to have to live in this dilapidated thatched hut!"
For Su Yi, if she can snatch it, then it's only natural that it belongs to her!
Seemingly sensing Su Yi's obsession with the house, Gu Wanquan, who had remained silent until now, stepped in front of Chen Feng and said with a gentle smile, "Please draw your sword, Senior Brother!"
"???" Chen Feng looked at Gu Wanquan, who had already gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand, completely bewildered.
Dude, you just broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage and you're already planning to challenge me?
Is it really worth it just to find a place to live?
Thinking of Gu Wanquan's astonishing swordsmanship during his battle with Su Yi, Chen Feng felt inexplicably guilty.
Gu Wanquan was already that strong when he was in the Qi Refining stage, and now that he's in the Foundation Establishment stage, he might actually be able to beat me up!
If someone at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment were to be beaten down by someone at the first level of Foundation Establishment, wouldn't they be laughed at to death if word got out?
Thinking of this, Chen Feng quickly said, "Junior brother, wait a minute. I really want to take you all to live with me, but the sect rules state that people with different cultivation levels can only stay on different peaks. So even if I wanted to lose to you and give you the house, you still couldn't move in!"
It's not that we can't beat them, it's that we have no other choice!
Chen Feng, who had escaped this calamity thanks to the sect's rules, breathed a sigh of relief, but then mourned for the inner disciples on the outer perimeter of the inner sect.
"Oh? May I ask, senior brother, where can senior brother Su and I stay now?" Gu Wanquan asked with a smile.
Chen Feng quickly went through the list in his mind before speaking: "There are 421 disciples below the third level of Foundation Establishment. Each challenge cannot be more than ten places higher. I am no longer on the periphery, so I don't know who the opponents who are ten places higher than my junior brothers are."
"Then please point out which peaks are inhabited by our fellow disciples, and I will go and ask them one by one!" Gu Wanquan said with a gentle smile.
Chen Feng rolled his eyes inwardly: "Is that a question? You're probably planning to challenge them all to one-on-one fights, aren't you?"
Looking at Gu Wanquan, who seemed eager to try, and Su Yi, who was fanning the flames and muttering to herself:
"Wan Quan, well done! Keep it up, don't embarrass yourself!"
Realizing the two weren't planning to stay overnight, Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't know who the opponents are, those who are ten ranks higher than my junior brothers, I can ask someone!"
After saying that, Chen Feng took out a communication stone from his storage bag. His demeanor suddenly changed, and he called out in a hoarse voice into the communication stone, "Dazhuang, where are they? Come to Peak 46, and gather more people!"
Chen Feng, who was originally honest and simple, suddenly transformed into a thug. After putting away the communication stone, he returned to his honest and simple appearance.
"Although I'm no longer on the periphery, I still know a few younger brothers. When they arrive, I'll ask them for you!" Chen Feng said with a smile.
Judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to be from the Immortal Sect, but rather from the Hongmen.
"Coder" and "little brother"—these colloquial terms of address appeared in a world-renowned immortal sect.
It just doesn't sound right.
As Su Yi looked at Chen Feng, whose temperament kept changing, she suddenly thought of the players who had managed to enter the inner sects of various immortal sects before she transmigrated.
"You haven't entered the inner sect, so even if I explain it to you, you wouldn't understand!"
There seems to be another secret hidden behind this seemingly superior statement about getting ashore!
