Wrath of the Immortal

The elder took Xiao Chen to the foot of Qiyun Mountain, where there were scattered houses.

As soon as the two landed, a middle-aged man in a gray robe and a big belly ran over.

"Elder, what brings you here..."

Deng Yongfei kept nodding and bowing, completely ignoring Xiao Chen beside him.

"He is a new outer disciple. You need to explain the rules of the sect."

The elder looked solemn, explained a few words briefly, and left with one step.

"Real immortals are awesome. When can I have such ability..."

Deng Yongfei's face was full of envy, and his eyes flashed with longing.

"Immortal, my name is Xiao Chen. When can I become a disciple and practice immortal arts!"

Xiao Chen asked in a low voice, interrupting Deng Yongfei's beautiful fantasy.

"What did you call me? Immortal? Do I look like an immortal? Just call me Brother Deng from now on."

Deng Yongfei laughed at himself, took out a wooden sign from his arms, engraved Xiao Chen's name on it, and threw it over.

"This is the identity card of the outer disciples. There are no rules here. If you complete the task, you can eat. If you fail to complete the task, you can only drink water."

Deng Yongfei added.

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Do the outer disciples have to do tasks every day?

"Brother Deng, when can I get the immortal pill?"

Xiao Chen asked in a low voice.

He was not in the mood to do the task. He just wanted to get the immortal pill quickly and go back to treat his mother.

"I say, you are so bold? You want to get the immortal pill as soon as you get here?"

Deng Yongfei looked at Xiao Chen with a changed look, as if he saw an idiot, and explained unhappily.

"If you complete the task in excess, you can get the corresponding merits. Only when you have accumulated 100 merits can you get the elixir!"

Deng Yongfei was afraid of discouraging Xiao Chen's enthusiasm, so he didn't tell him that it would take at least half a year to accumulate 100 merits.

"Brother Deng, please assign me tasks quickly!"

Xiao Chen looked anxious. He calculated the time and realized that his mother didn't have much time left.

"You want to work so much?"

Deng Yongfei was slightly stunned.

Since he was in charge of the peripheral disciples, he has seen many strange things.

Some children failed to become formal disciples and came here to seek death and were depressed all day long.

Some people gave gifts privately and begged him to assign simple tasks, just to stay here for three years and become a registered disciple.

This is the first time he has met someone like Xiao Chen who has to do tasks as soon as he arrived.

Thinking that it was almost the end of the month and there were still many things to do, since someone was rushing to work, Deng Yongfei would naturally not refuse.

"Mining, collecting herbs, making clothes, fishing, chopping wood, washing clothes, cooking..."

Deng Yongfei explained in detail what the outer disciples had to do, including how many merits they could get after completing each task!

Simply put, the simpler the task, the less merits they would get.

Cooking for a month, one merit, washing clothes and chopping wood, the same is true.

Mining and collecting herbs are a little more difficult, even if you do it for a month, you can only get three merits at most.

"Brother Deng, is there a task that can get a hundred merits in one day!"

Xiao Chen's words were shocking, and Deng Yongfei was shocked.

"Are you crazy, kid? A hundred merits a day?"

Deng Yongfei touched Xiao Chen's forehead, this guy didn't have a fever! Why does he always talk nonsense after coming here?

If the great elder hadn't sent him here in person, a young man like Xiao Chen would have been sent to do hard labor.

"Brother Deng, I'm in a hurry to exchange for the elixir, please assign a harder task!"

Xiao Chen looked at Deng Yongfei and said sincerely.

If I can't get enough merit within ten days, my mother will definitely die.

"You want to? Who doesn't want to exchange for the elixir as soon as possible?"

Deng Yongfei rolled his eyes and suddenly felt that this guy was a bit stupid.

On weekdays, everyone rushed to do simple tasks, but this kid wanted the most difficult ones.

Could it be that in order to get 100 merits as soon as possible, he didn't care about his life?

Wait, there seems to be a task that doesn't care about life?

"I have a task here. After completing it, you will get 100 merits. Are you willing to try it?"

"What task?"

"Get a piece of fire crystal."

"I'll go now!"

Xiao Chen was very excited. After asking for the details, he was about to get up and go.

"Wait a minute, this is a life and death agreement. Sign it before you go!"

Deng Yongfei stopped Xiao Chen and handed him a piece of paper and a brush.

Xiao Chen didn't even look at it and quickly wrote his name.

Then, Xiao Chen picked up the map and mining hoe handed by Deng Yongfei and left quickly.

Looking at Xiao Chen's running figure, Deng Yongfei was dumbfounded.

Is this guy not afraid of death, or is he in a hurry to die?

"What a pity..."

Deng Yongfei sighed and picked up a pot of wine and drank it.

In his eyes, Xiao Chen was already a dead man.

That place, Jindan stage strongmen dare not enter, let alone ordinary people.

Xiao Chen came to the marked point on the map and was stunned.

The temperature around was extremely high, and no grass grew.

No wonder Deng Yongfei asked him to sign a life and death agreement. This is not a place where ordinary people can come!

Xiao Chen did not retreat. He didn't have much time. This was his only chance.

Even if he died here, it would be better than watching his mother die after returning!

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, braved the high temperature, and walked forward step by step.

Not long after walking, he saw a cave.

The heat wave rushed from the cave entrance, and Xiao Chen's hair turned into ashes in an instant.

Looking at the clothes again, sparks also appeared.

Xiao Chen wanted to put out the fire, but another heat wave rushed.

The clothes burned instantly, and turned into ashes in a few breaths at most.

Under normal circumstances, even if Xiao Chen was not burned to death, his skin would be burned.

Strangely, he was safe and sound.

The heat wave fell on Xiao Chen's skin and disappeared strangely.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Chen was confused, but very happy, and took the iron hoe into the cave.

Inside the cave, the temperature was even higher, and normal people could not stand it at all.

Xiao Chen did not feel uncomfortable at all, and the waves of heat rushed towards him, but did not cause any substantial impact on him.

After walking about a hundred steps, the temperature rose suddenly, but he still did not see the fire crystal.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was sure that if he walked a few more steps, he would definitely die of heat here.

Just when he was hesitant about whether to find another way, he went a few feet away and reflected a bright light.

"One step to heaven and earth, one step to Tai Chi!"

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, walked the steps taught by his father, and instantly came to the place of light.

The temperature here was extremely high, and the heat waves kept coming, making it almost impossible for Xiao Chen to open his eyes.

Xiao Chen saw the fire crystal stone, grabbed it in his hand, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he turned back and grabbed a few more times.

Since he was here, he might as well get more fire crystal stones, so that he could exchange for more pills!

Xiao Chen didn't even look at what he grabbed, and ran out of the cave quickly.

When he came out of the cave, Xiao Chen looked at the things in his hands and was immediately scared to death.

"Ah!!!"

Xiao Chen exclaimed, and the things in his hands fell to the ground with a ding-dong sound.

Three pieces of fire crystal stones, a white bone.

It was a complete arm, and in the palm of the bone, it was tightly holding a thumb-sized tripod.

The body of the tripod was black and it didn't look like a treasure.

Xiao Chen also believed that those who could enter this place were definitely not ordinary people.

Before the man died, he still held the small tripod tightly, which showed that the small tripod was extremely important to him.

"Senior! If this thing can change Xiao's fate, Xiao will definitely come to worship again!"

Xiao Chen buried the bones in the ground, kowtowed three times, took the spoils and left.
