C4 Mountain Entering

Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

"Hehehe!"

Halfway up the mountain, in a flat area with a circumference of a thousand feet, hundreds of disciples in green were fighting in pairs or singlehandedly. They were practicing all sorts of martial skills, and it seemed very lively.

The already hot summer morning had become much more lively because of this group of young men and women that were full of vigor and vitality.

"Hey, who's that? Bring me the bucket!"

Suddenly, a shout came from the edge.

"Alright!"

On the bluestone path at the edge of the field, Li Chen held two buckets of water and strode forward.

Crash! *

The few outer sect disciples who were scolding him also came over. One of them had a big build and a round waist, although he looked three or two years older than Li Chen, but he was clearly a youth with the same age as Li Chen. He directly poured water from the well into the bucket and poured it on his head, not showing any fear of the cold water in the well.

After the rest of the youths drank a few mouthfuls, they all rushed forward. Not long after, it took Li Chen over an hour to get hold of the well water and splash it all over.

Li Chen was watching shyly from the side, giggling from time to time while secretly sizing up the disciples who were practicing their martial arts in the distance.

When the surrounding people saw this, they wiped the sweat off their foreheads and wanted to surround him. The sturdy youth coldly looked around and immediately made them shrink back their necks.

Seeing that no one came forward, the sturdy youth nodded his head in satisfaction. He grabbed the hundred jin water bucket and walked towards the female disciples who were not far away.

Li Chen looked through the messy hair gap and noticed that Li Yuerong, the third young miss of the Li family, was among four or five women who had only reached the prime of their lives.

"Junior-apprentice Sister Chu, it's so hot, but this cold pond water is so hot that it can detoxify the poison. It can't be better!"

The robust youth walked over and lightly put down the wooden barrel as he spoke in a low and muffled voice.

"Yo!" "Pang Wenshan, you're here to try to please me again. Do you have to be sincere and take someone else's help to please our senior sister Ziyun?"

A female disciple with a decent figure and a few freckles on her face was clucking as she sized up the youth. Her arm was wrapped around another girl whose beauty was slightly above Li Yuerong's.

"Shan Shan!"

Chu Ziyun frowned and shook her freckles.

"Junior Zhao is right, next time I'll go fight it myself!" "Oh right, Brother He said that he will enter the mountain tomorrow. It just so happens that we will be going with him."

Pang Wenshan scratched his head and said with a coy smile.

"Hehe, don't waste my good intentions!"

Zhao Shanshan laughed as she took out a silk handkerchief and lightly dipped it in water before wiping it off herself.

The girls did not hold back, each taking out their scarves to wipe away the youthful beauty. Only Li Yuerong coldly glared at Li Chen.

"Hehe!"

Seeing that they had finished cleaning up, Pang Wenshan smirked and waved his hand, "Who's there? Take the bucket away!"

"Alright!"

Li Chen jogged all the way to the front, grabbed a bucket, and bowed to Li Yuerong, "Greetings, Third Miss!"

"Hey!" This ugly monster knows Junior Sister Li? "

Zhao Shanshan's eyes lit up as she looked at Li Yuerong with ill intentions. The Zhao Family was also one of the Fallen Phoenix City's families, and was the enemy of the Li Family.

"Hmph, just a lowly slave!"

Li Yuerong turned her head in disgust.

The few girls laughed foolishly and pointed at Li Chen's back as she left. Their expressions were filled with disdain and disgust. Only Chu Ziyun frowned and didn't say anything.

Naturally, the crowd was able to clearly hear such undisguised words. Li Chen, who was standing not far away, left the arena in a few steps as if he did not notice anything.

Actually, Li Chen was not ugly, and even had a bit of elegance. However, on his face, there was a dark red birthmark covering his left eye and temple, making him look extremely ugly.

Of course, to these Heaven's Chosen, whether or not Li Chensheng was handsome or ugly had nothing to do with them at all.

"… …"

A few hundred kilometers south of Cloudfall Peak, in a hidden valley on the outskirts of Ancient Blue Mountain, a dozen or so disciples of the Profound Cloud Sect were gathered together, divided into three groups, discussing something.

The leader of the three blue-clothed inner disciples was none other than Li Yuerong, Chu Ziyun, Zhao Shanshan, Pang Wenshan, and other people that Li Chen knew. The eight people in the middle were both men and women.

"Senior brother Chen, my name is Liu Chengfeng. Please take care of me when I enter the Ancient Blue Mountain!"

The last three disciples wore gray clothes. One of them was of medium stature and had long narrow eyes. He had a fawning expression as he faced Chen Songtai while carrying a long sword with a scabbard on his back.

"My cultivation is on par with yours. This time, I'm able to enter the mountain thanks to the protection of Senior Brother He and Senior Brother Lu. How can I possibly take care of Junior Brother Liu?"

Chen Songtai tightened his grip on his sword and carefully glanced at the people in front of him. He lowered his voice and casually waved his hand.

"Being able to work by Senior Brother He's side is really a blessing. I heard that Senior Brother He's success rate in refining a tier-1 middle graded pill has already reached thirty percent. His future is limitless!"

Liu Chengfeng said with envy.

"Hehe, that's true!"

Chen Songtai raised his chin and said, "Among the inner disciples, if Senior He were to say he was number two, no one would dare to be number one!"

That expression of complacency was as if he was the number one alchemist amongst the inner court disciples.

Li Chen did not say a word the entire time, and followed the crowd in a daze. However, his eyes, which were hidden under his hair, were carefully observing his surroundings.

He had long heard that the Ancient Blue Mountain was a place where demon beasts gathered. There were many dangers and many lucky chances. All sorts of treasures appeared one after another. Throughout the years, countless warriors would go in and out of the mountain to find treasure.

This time around, they were only here as a helper to help the disciples pack up their stuff.

Of course, as inner sect disciples, He Kongming and the other two had only brought this group of outer sect disciples all the way here because they had other important matters to attend to.

"Alright, you can start searching for spiritual medicines in this area. The beasts here are all around the mid-First Order. With your strength and Junior Pang's care, there won't be any danger!"

After everyone had rested for the time it took to boil a cup of tea, He Kongming stood up with a wave of his hand and made arrangements. The other two inner disciples glanced at each other, then quickly rushed into the forest.

"All of you, come here!"

Seeing this, Pang Wenshan stood up and waved to Chen Songtai and the other two.

Although the main reason for me going into the mountain this time is to gather the supplementary ingredients, most of you have never been to the Ancient Blue Mountain before. When you see the demon beast appear, don't panic.

Pang Wenshan's fat body and slightly older face seemed to be quite intimidating. He took out a green whistle that was about as long as his fingers.

This was the Green Wind flute, and it could be used to transmit sound for several li. It was used by the disciples of the Mysterious Cloud Sect to communicate when they entered the mountain.

According to Li Chen's knowledge, Pang Wenshan's cultivation base had already reached the peak of the sixth level, just a step away from the seventh level and into the ranks of the inner disciples.

Although the group of 14 or 15 year old young men and women had faces full of excitement and wished for nothing more than to fight the demon beasts, they all knew of the dangers within and nodded.

Aside from the three of them who had no backers, Chen Songtai and the others only had cultivation bases at the fifth layer. Among the eight of them, there were a few people who were also at the fifth layer.

However, they weren't young, only fifteen years old. Their aptitudes weren't weak either.

As for Chu Ziyun, although she was only 14 years old, she was already at the peak of the sixth floor and her talent was quite shocking.

Under Pang Wen Shan's orders, groups of two or three began to enter the woods in the cove, searching for various low level herbs.

Although the Ancient Blue Mountain had a lot of treasures, there were also a lot of warriors. The place He Kongming had brought them to this time was a rarely visited valley.

Aside from guarding against demon beasts, the most dangerous ones were the adventurers that frequently entered and left the Ancient Blue Mountain.

Chen Songtai and the other two with weak cultivations who were the followers of two inner court disciples naturally formed a group.

Chen Songtai took over the command of the group without any hesitation due to the fact that Kong Ming was in charge of handling the herbs for the whole time. He was talking about all sorts of pharmacological theories along the way, which confused Liu Chengfeng.

"Hmm?"

As he was walking, Li Chen took a light sniff of the air, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he turned to walk to the side.

"Whiz!"

His clothes fluttering in the wind, Chen Songtai swept past Li Chen and ran several meters away. He bent down happily, took out the jade shovel he brought with him, and dug out a finger length, entirely green, and no more than three tender leaves.

"Qi Prolonging Grass, a tier 1 spirit medicine. Your luck is pretty good!"

Chen Songtai happily took out a jade box from his backpack and carefully placed it inside. Without even glancing at Li Chen, he walked forward with his head held high and his chest puffed up.

"Brother Chen is so powerful, is there some trick to it?" Teach your little brother! "

Liu Chengfeng walked up quickly with an envious expression.

"Hehe, this is a chance that cannot be revealed!"

Chen Songtai chuckled and pretended to be mysterious as he searched the area.

As the two of them were walking forward, they did not notice that Li Chen, who had been following behind them, had suddenly disappeared into the dense forest.

When the two discovered that Li Chen had gone missing, Chen Songtai's complexion slightly changed. He took out the Green Wind flute from his chest and placed it on his lips. After a few changes in expression, he finally put it down.

They spoke with Liu Chengfeng for some reason and moved on as if nothing had happened.
