Immortality begins with raising apprentices

Chapter 28 Jade Lizard Club

In the evening, the old man in black hurriedly came to find Chen Ye.

Chen Ye's expression hardened.

Although he hadn't left his house in the past few days, he frequently inquired about news from He Qi.

Nothing major has happened in the market recently.

The old man wiped his sweat: "Brother Chen, do you know about the Jade Lizard Society?"

Chen Ye nodded: "It's a gang organized by some demon-hunting cultivators in Yunxifang, but what does it have to do with me?"

The old black man said angrily:
"Not long ago, the Jade Lizard Society discovered a medicinal valley in the Three Thousand Mountains, which caused many conflicts with the Stone Mirror Society, affecting a large number of spiritual herbs."

"With so many spiritual herbs, it would cost a lot of spirit stones to get the plant masters in the market to sell them. That's why they've set their sights on the rogue cultivators in the shantytowns who have no connections. They're using coercion and bribery to make these rogue cultivators work for free!"

"That lackey Zhang took the opportunity to join the Jade Lizard Society and helped them identify rogue cultivators who knew how to cultivate spiritual herbs!"

what?
When Chen Ye was in the Three Thousand Mountains, he personally experienced the conflict between the Jade Lizard Society and the Stone Mirror Society.

At that time, he carefully avoided gang warfare.

But I never expected that he would be affected today!

Chen Ye suddenly came to his senses, his face darkening:
"I thought this old Taoist priest had died somewhere a few days ago, but I never expected him to be someone's dog!"

Cut the weeds out at the root! Cut the weeds out at the root!
After offending a villain like Zhang Laodao at that time, he should have decisively killed him on the spot to avoid future troubles.

I never expected this old Taoist to be so slick.

Upon discovering a hint of hostility from his own side, he actually fled far away, not even returning home.

As a result, Zhang Laodao has now attached himself to the Jade Lizard Society, which has brought about future troubles!
Seeing that Chen Ye had not moved.

The old man urged urgently, "Brother Chen, run! I just saw Old Zhang, he's already leading his men this way! If we get taken to East Gully, we'll be lucky to escape with our lives!"

"Escape? Where can I escape to with my two apprentices?"

Chen Ye's breathing quickened, but his expression calmed down.

Even if the Jade Lizard Society is powerful, it is still just a gang.

How dare he brazenly abduct and plunder rogue cultivators?
Aren't you afraid of offending the independent cultivators, or even incurring the displeasure of the Lingyin Sect?

No matter how insignificant the rogue cultivators may be, they are the cornerstone of Yunxi Workshop!
Nothing more than...

They've set their sights on a nobody like the original.
Lacking both skill and ambition, yet still possessing a skill despite living in the marketplace.

Chen Yexin felt a surge of anger. Old Zhang said, "Do you still think he's the kind of person who can be easily manipulated?"

He asked in a deep voice, "How many people came?"

The old man was startled, realizing Chen Ye's unspoken message:
"There are only two. One is a Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator named Gao Ming, who accompanied Old Zhang to find you."

Chen Ye's palms were damp with sweat, and knowing that the other party's cultivation level was not high, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Dagen, please watch the next house, I'll be right back."

The old man frowned: "Brother Chen, Gao Ming has been fighting for a long time, unlike you... Never mind, I'll wait for you here."

Seeing that Chen Ye was determined to leave, he stopped trying to dissuade him.

They didn't even offer to help Chen Ye.

The old black man had an elderly mother at home and had no interest in getting involved in gang fights.

The fact that he came to remind Chen Ye was already a way of repaying Chen Ye's kindness in going out late at night to treat the Qingluo grass.

……

As dusk fell, large snowflakes obscured the view.
Old Zhang was in high spirits, and his hunched body managed to straighten up for once.

He changed into a clean black robe, and looking at the chaotic shantytown, a look of superiority appeared on his wrinkled old face.

"That kid, he thinks he's something just because he's wearing new clothes? I'm just too lazy to argue with young people."

Gao Ming twitched his lips, but didn't spoil the old man's mood.

The old man did indeed give the Jade Lizard Society a good idea.

He led the way, capturing countless dissolute and decadent people from the nooks and crannies of the shantytown.

Gao Ming had never discovered that there was such a group of useless cultivators in the market.

There was no need to force them; as soon as they showed up, they obediently followed him to Donggou Valley.

"Are you sure Chen Ye won't cause trouble?"

Gao Ming asked one last question: of all the people on the list provided by Zhang Laodao, this was the one he was most concerned about.

Firstly, this person is skilled in cultivating spiritual plants, which is exactly the kind of talent that Donggou Valley needs.

Secondly, how could this person, a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining, have fallen into becoming a cripple? "Heh! Fellow Daoist Gao, did those people in front cause any trouble? You only need to ask around to know that Chen Ye was beaten so badly by a young cultivator not long ago that he didn't dare to fight back and slunk home to lie down."

Old Master Zhang still harbors resentment towards Chen Ye's mockery and is seething with anger.

He gave a sinister smile: "Fellow Daoist Gao, Chen Ye has two disciples. When he goes to Donggou Valley, I will take care of them for him."

"Whatever you want," Gao Ming said indifferently.

rustling—

The biting wind made Old Zhang shrink his neck.

The oncoming snowflakes blurred my vision.

When the wind died down and the snowflakes dispersed.

Suddenly, a figure in a straw raincoat appeared at the entrance of the chaotic alley.

Old Zhang's gaze froze.

The man carried a long sword on his back, a wisp of golden energy swirling around his fingertips. He did not cover his face; beneath his bamboo hat, his face was cold and hard, his eyes piercing as he stared intently at him.

Gao Ming immediately placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, looking wary.

"He...he is Chen Ye!"

Old Zhang almost turned pale and immediately shrank behind Gao Ming.

Gao Ming cursed inwardly, "This kind of person, can he be a cripple?"

"Fellow Daoist, wait..." He hadn't finished speaking.

A ray of golden light suddenly pierced through the snow curtain, transforming into a golden arc that swirled up snowflakes and headed straight for Gao Ming's back.

No matter how much Gao Ming looks down on Zhang Laodao, he is now a member of the Jade Lizard Society!
He gripped the longsword tightly, his blood and qi surging forth, and spiritual energy flowing into the hilt.

With a clang, the sword was drawn!

"clang!"

The longsword rang out, and a nick appeared on its snow-white blade.

Golden rays, like stars, shot into a nearby tree trunk, causing the thick trunk, which took two people to encircle, to collapse with a crash.

"So fast! Is this Geng metal energy??"

Gao Ming had never seen anyone cultivate the first-order spell Gengjin Technique to such a level, and he was shocked.

I regret listening to the slander of Master Zhang.

Merit is important, but one's own life is more important!
Old Zhang saw Gao Ming block the sword energy and let out a long breath.

He was drenched in sweat and furious with embarrassment:
"Old Chen, how dare you... This is someone from the Jade Lizard Society! After you die, I will definitely take good care of your disciple!"

"Shut up!" Gao Ming roared. He knew that the person in front of him was more than that!
Another golden light came into view.

To Gao Ming's despair, eight more golden rays appeared after that one!

Legend has it that only Bai Li Zhenren, the founder of the Gengjin Technique, could unleash the power of ten different energies simultaneously!
At this moment, the nine streams of Geng metal energy transformed into different trajectories and attacked together, unstoppable!

Old Zhang's legs went weak, and without caring about Gao Ming, he turned and fled.

"Whoa!"

Two streams of metal energy sliced ​​off his knees.

Old Zhang let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground, blood spurting out and staining the snowflakes that had not yet fallen.

"Old Chen... Old Chen, we're neighbors, why are you being like this!"

Old Zhang's face was ashen, and he kept crawling backward with his hands.

Chen Ye didn't look at him, his gaze fixed on Gao Ming:

"This person stole my things. Are you going to protect him, fellow Daoist?"

Gao Ming felt a chill run down his spine. He managed to block only four of the nine streams of Geng metal energy, while the other five passed right past him and headed straight for Zhang Laodao.

If he wanted to kill me, I would have been dead long ago!
Gao Ming forced a smile and said, "Zhang Hong is, after all, a member of my Jade Lizard Society. I hope you will show leniency..."

But at that moment, someone shouted sharply:
"Gao Ming, shut up! You are a member of the Jade Lizard Society, why should you be so humble to a mere rogue cultivator from the shantytown?"

"Master!" Old Zhang exclaimed with joy.

Behind him, another person quietly appeared, looking down at Zhang Laodao on the ground.

This man is nine feet tall and has a robust build. He is the head of the Condensing Wind Hall of the Jade Lizard Society and has a cultivation level of the seventh level of Qi Refining!

Chen Ye's other three strands of Geng metal energy were currently being held in his hands, struggling incessantly!
