Chapter 32

Of course, although these miscellaneous servants had their doubts, they didn’t react too strongly.

Miscellaneous disciples don’t even count as disciples of the Yin Soul Sect. Even if they were killed by a sect disciple, the most severe punishment would be a whipping, and generally, they would just be fined some spirit stones. Moreover, Hu Donghan was an enforcement disciple, and he had provided a reasonable explanation. Within the entire Yin Soul Sect, there would be no one to seek justice for this miscellaneous disciple.

Furthermore, this deceased miscellaneous disciple was not a good person among the miscellaneous servants. His death would likely make most of the miscellaneous servants even happier.

Back in his room, a relaxed smile appeared on Hu Donghan’s face.

This miscellaneous servant had always felt like a thorn in Hu Donghan’s side. Now that this thorn had been removed, his mood naturally became much more pleasant.

After a day of hard work, Hu Donghan only rested for a short while in meditation before his mind began to think again.

"The hidden dangers around me have been completely eliminated. Now, the most important thing is to focus on cultivation and improve my abilities."

"According to the girl, her cultivation has already reached the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage. The Qi Condensation realm is divided into nine levels, with each three levels forming a tier. The girl’s current strength is just one step away from the late Qi Condensation stage. Given her talent, reaching the late Qi Condensation stage shouldn’t be difficult. My talent is poor, so I must complete the cultivation of the Medicinal Spirit Ghost as soon as possible."

"The Medicinal Spirit Ghost still needs two steps. The first step is to obtain a spirit herb. I’m tired today, so I’ll rest early and go to the market in the Stacked Peaks tomorrow morning to exchange for a spirit herb. Of course, if I could tell the girl, these matters wouldn’t be a problem. However, if I ask her for help, I might never be able to stand on my own again..."

Thinking about this, Hu Donghan fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, as soon as Hu Donghan got up, a miscellaneous servant from the dining hall immediately brought him a sumptuous meal. In the past, even if Hu Donghan personally went to the dining hall and specifically requested these dishes, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get them. After eating a few bites casually, two Foundation Establishment cultivators came to his door, politely inquiring about Hu Donghan killing a miscellaneous servant last night. Hu Donghan repeated his explanation from last night, and the two Foundation Establishment cultivators recorded it before immediately leaving—

The death of a miscellaneous servant on the Stacked Peaks was a minor matter. They were only responsible for recording it, and it was just a formality. Moreover, the person who did this was an enforcement disciple. When they came, the mad old ancestor of the Stacked Peaks, Li Chengfeng, specifically instructed them to just go through the motions. If anyone found any issues, they would have to deal with it themselves.

Of course, they really couldn’t understand why Hu Donghan, an enforcement disciple, was living in the outer sect disciples’ courtyard on the Stacked Peaks. Shouldn’t enforcement disciples all move to the Blood Bone Peak? In any case, this matter was full of peculiarities, and they didn’t have the courage to get involved.

After making some preparations, Hu Donghan left his room and headed towards the disciples’ market in the Stacked Peaks.

The disciples’ market in the Stacked Peaks was essentially a trading place for inner and outer sect disciples. The market in the Stacked Peaks guaranteed absolute safety in transactions, but the items traded must have a clear source. Of course, because of this, there weren’t many truly good items in such a market. To really buy something good, one had to go to a market not under the control of the Yin Soul Sect.

Of course, in such markets, the prices were relatively higher, and the safety was not satisfactory. Even Yin Soul Sect disciples often encountered ambushes. Some of these incidents were carried out by Yin Soul Sect disciples, while others were done by cultivators from other sects or independent cultivators. The specific details of these incidents were unclear.

Hu Donghan only wanted to buy a spirit herb this time, so there was no need to take risks by going far away. He could just buy it from the sect’s internal disciples’ market.

Soon, Hu Donghan arrived at the disciples’ market.

As soon as Hu Donghan, dressed as an enforcement disciple, appeared, the disciples who were setting up stalls reacted as if they had seen the city management. Some quickly rearranged their items, while others packed up their things, ready to run away.

Seeing this, Hu Donghan was speechless.

Actually, how could enforcement disciples possibly have conflicts with these small traders? To most enforcement disciples, these items were not even worth a fart! They fled because the reputation of enforcement disciples was too strong. Even if enforcement disciples wouldn’t overturn their stalls, they still felt terrified!

After wandering around, Hu Donghan’s gaze finally fell on one of the stalls.

This stall was densely packed with many low-level spirit herbs, most of which Hu Donghan could name. Next to the spirit herbs, there were also many soul rings. Moreover, when this stall owner saw Hu Donghan, although he was somewhat fearful, he didn’t react like the other disciples, who looked as if they had seen a ghost. Buying spirit herbs from such a person at least meant not having to worry about the other person kneeling down before he even spoke.

After looking at the spirit herbs on the stall, Hu Donghan finally pointed to one and asked, "Brother, may I ask how many spirit stones this Ghost Spirit Grass costs?"

The stall owner quickly smiled and said, "Brother Hu wants this Ghost Spirit Grass? I was lucky enough to find this Ghost Spirit Grass near the Two Willows Mountain. If Brother Hu wants it, you can take it..."

"Do you know me?" Hu Donghan’s face turned cold when he heard the man mention his surname. He didn’t pay much attention to the rest of the words and coldly questioned.

Now, Hu Donghan was very wary of people who seemed to know him upon first meeting!

The disciple was slightly taken aback, then smiled again, "Brother Hu, you really are joking. I am one of the new disciples, and I live in the same courtyard as Brother Hu. Naturally, I would know Brother Hu..." Seeing that Hu Donghan still couldn’t remember, he reminded him, "I live in the row behind Brother Hu. I have met Brother Hu over ten times. Brother Hu practices in his room every day, so you might not remember me..."

"You... it seems there really is such a person." Hu Donghan finally remembered. In their courtyard, there seemed to be such a person. This person was one of the few in the entire outer sect disciples’ courtyard who didn’t look at others with disdain, "What’s your name again?"

The disciple quickly said, "My name is Lang Tianya."

Hu Donghan felt this name was also familiar. After recalling it in his mind, he finally confirmed that there was such a person and put down his guard, saying, "So it’s Brother Lang."
