Chapter 33 The Mindset of a Wild Dog
Chapter 33 The Mindset of a Wild Dog
On the silver-armored unicorn python, the group from Huangfeng Valley who had emerged from the forbidden area sat cross-legged.
Han Li had already been forced into the limelight because of being taken in as a disciple by Li Huayuan, which was not something he wanted.
Ever since Han Li met Doctor Mo, his mentor, he has developed a natural affinity for the word "mentor."
Back then, Doctor Mo gave Han Li an extremely unforgettable memory!
Now he has been taken as a disciple by Li Huayuan, and the latter's abilities are something he can't even look up to...
Han Li wished such an opportunity would fall to those envious disciples, so that he himself would be ignored.
until……
It wasn't until Li Huayuan spoke up again that he accepted another enviable "unlucky guy".
Han Li was somewhat relieved, and even felt a little amused when he saw the other party's extremely shocked expression.
This time, among the disciples accepted by Li Huayuan, a Core Formation cultivator, besides Han Li, who brought out the most spiritual herbs from the forbidden area, there were none.
The other person was rather unremarkable.
Although the number of spiritual herbs was not small, it was still far from enough compared to Han Li's! There were only a mere ten spiritual herbs.
Not to mention that he can't be compared to Han Li, even among the other disciples of Huangfeng Valley, there are several who brought out far more spiritual herbs than him!
Even so, Grandmaster Li Huayuan still chose to accept this person as a nominal disciple.
This other unlucky guy...
It's Qin Fang, of course!
At this moment~
Han Li, whose mood had been fluctuating, was about to relax, but now his heart was hanging in suspense again.
The reason was that his junior brother, Qin Fang, looked bitter and resentful, as if he had his worries written all over his face.
Yes, because he was accepted as a disciple by Li Huayuan later in life, Qin Fang will likely carry the title of "Han Li's junior brother" for the rest of his life.
Could it be... that Qin Fang discovered something?! Or perhaps he knows something?!
Seeing Qin Fang's attitude, Han Li naturally became suspicious.
Han Li didn't have any hostile attitude towards Qin Fang, even though the man's behavior was unpredictable and he seemed to be a deep and scheming person.
Therefore, when Han Li first met Qin Fang, he instinctively adopted a wary attitude.
But after several encounters, Han Li realized that he was probably overthinking things. Qin Fang, at least, had never posed a threat to him.
Then, when he heard that Li Huayuan had taken this person as his disciple after him, Han Li was even secretly pleased, feeling that "someone else is traveling with me."
But now it seems...
Being accepted as a disciple by Li Huayuan doesn't seem like a good thing!
Han Li's heart sank at this thought, and he secretly made up his mind that once he returned to the sect, he would immediately find a way to visit Qin Fang.
Putting everything else aside, we must at least figure out the secrets behind this!
...on the other side.
Qin Fang sat on the python's back armor, speechless, his chin resting on his hand, feeling extremely irritated.
"Oh shit!"
"At worst, I'll wait until I get the Foundation Establishment Pill from Han Li..."
"I'll find an excuse to leave the sect immediately, and once I've successfully established my foundation, I'll quickly find a way to use the ancient teleportation array to go to the Chaotic Star Sea!"
Qin cursed inwardly.
Li Huayuan's decision to accept him as a disciple caught Qin Fang completely off guard.
Because of his appearance, Li Huayuan, who was originally the biggest loser in this gambling battle, became the biggest winner who got two benefits from one fish!
Not only are you, Li Huayuan, ungrateful, but you also covet my elixir!
I only have ten medicinal herbs!
If five of the beads are missing and Li Huayuan takes them away under the guise of "filial piety," who knows if I'll even get a chance to get a Foundation Establishment Pill from the sect!
Even if you only hand over a single spiritual herb, there is still a slim chance that you might obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill later.
But that wouldn't be considered a reward from the sect for the trip to the forbidden area; rather, it would be a kind of "benefit" that would have been given to the sect's disciples anyway.
Bringing out the elixir will only move your 'location' to receive the Foundation Establishment Pill forward a little.
Whether it will be your turn is extremely hard to say!
If more than ten spiritual herbs can be brought out, the sect will give them a Foundation Establishment Pill as a priority reward!
You don't need to participate in the distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills; that's a separate reward.
Even if a disciple fails to break through after consuming a Foundation Establishment Pill, such a "meritorious" disciple will still be ranked relatively high in the next distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills.
This can be considered a reward from the sect for venturing into the forbidden area. After all, the Crimson Forbidden Area is a place where one risks certain death, so it is only right that they receive a special status.
The number of medicinal herbs Qin Fang brought out decreased from a solid ten to five.
Naturally, there will be no direct reward of Foundation Establishment Pills! It will only make him slightly higher in the queue for Foundation Establishment Pills later.
To put it another way, the spiritual herbs they brought out this time will soon be refined into Foundation Establishment Pills.
Then, most of the Foundation Establishment Pills will be distributed to suitable Qi Refining stage disciples, with only a small portion left as reserves.
Logically speaking...
With five spiritual herbs, even if Qin Fang cannot directly obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, he should still have a certain advantage in the subsequent distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills.
After all, there weren't many disciples who came out of the forbidden area this time.
but……
There are so many Qi Refining stage disciples in the sect! Too many wolves and not enough meat!
For Qin Fang, who had no connections whatsoever, obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill quickly was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Unless Li Huayuan is willing to speak up himself...
"Hmph~"
"What's done is done, there's no use in being upset."
"However, my ability to control my emotions is still too poor... I'm too easily swayed by my emotions!"
"However, Foundation Establishment Pills aren't completely lost in the cultivation world! As long as Foundation Establishment Pills still exist in the human realm, with my abilities and the help of this 'Zhuanzhuan Secondhand Platform,' there's no reason I can't get one!"
"In the future... this must never be done again. Even if the other disciples are practicing breathing exercises right now, we must not..."
"Um?"
Before Qin Fang could finish speaking his mind, he saw Han Li's bright and piercing gaze.
His lips twitched slightly.
I completely forgot about Han Li, that freak!
Qin Fang forced himself to put on a fairly friendly smile, nodded slightly to Han Li, and then closed his eyes to rest.
Many Qi Refining stage disciples emerged from the forbidden area during Huangfeng Valley's recent trip there.
Several of them brought out more spiritual herbs than Qin Fang.
However, Li Huayuan did not take these people as disciples, nor did he have any designs on them...
This is because most of these disciples are members of a certain family who have joined the sect, and they all have powerful connections.
"I'm still too weak!"
"If I weren't a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining with no background..."
"Li Huayuan would never be so blatant as to not only accept Han Li as a disciple, but also take himself under his wing!"
"Their eating manners were extremely unsightly!"
"How frustrating!"
"The only way to avoid encountering similar situations in the future is to increase your cultivation! Once your cultivation level rises..."
"All the frustration I'm feeling now will never happen again!"
"Feeling as pathetic as a dog stranded on the street..."
"I, Qin, will remember this day forever!!"
Qin Fang made a ruthless decision.
