Chapter 7

This scrawny, pockmarked man named Mu Zhengfeng is also a disciple of Die Luan Peak.

Although Mu Zhengfeng has a good name, his character ruins it.

His appearance is already a disappointment to the audience, which can be blamed on his parents; however, his words and actions in daily life are even more nauseating. When he encounters cultivators with better talent, strength, and background, he can't wait to crawl on the ground and bark like a dog; when he meets those inferior servants, he beats and scolds them at will.

Mu Zhengfeng and Hu Donghan joined the Yin Soul Sect in the same batch. His talent could be said to be the worst among the new disciples. With a talent of three lower-grade spiritual roots, compared to the disciples around him who often have two spiritual roots, or even heavenly spiritual roots, Mu Zhengfeng is usually too ashamed to show his face, not even daring to speak loudly. He can only bully the servant disciples within the sect—until Hu Donghan appeared.

When cultivators join the Yin Soul Sect, the sect does not hide their specific talents from top to bottom.

Firstly, it is to allow cultivators with better talents to receive more care; secondly, it is to foster a competitive mechanism within the sect.

Speaking of Hu Donghan, he joined the Yin Soul Sect by clinging to his foster wife's legs. His talent of four middle-grade spiritual roots, without a doubt, made him the weakest among all the disciples on Die Luan Peak as soon as he joined.

Mu Zhengfeng is indeed quite interesting.

Initially, when he discovered that Hu Donghan had only four middle-grade spiritual roots, Mu Zhengfeng was suspicious, thinking Hu Donghan must be a relative of some old ancestor of the Yin Soul Sect. He kept circling around Hu Donghan, calling him "Senior Brother" with great affection.

Later, after probing Hu Donghan and eavesdropping on other disciples, he finally confirmed that Hu Donghan was not a relative of any old ancestor but just an ordinary outer sect disciple with no background.

This made Mu Zhengfeng's attitude towards Hu Donghan change 180 degrees. Originally, he was humble and fawning in front of Hu Donghan, but now he became arrogant and started to show off. Whenever he met Hu Donghan, he would immediately mock Hu Donghan's four middle-grade spiritual roots, doing his best to ridicule him. Moreover, he acted like a clown, often shouting loudly to attract others' attention—just like what happened in the External Affairs Hall.

Among all the outer sect disciples of Die Luan Peak, only Hu Donghan had a worse talent, weaker strength, and no background to match Mu Zhengfeng. Who else could Mu Zhengfeng provoke if not Hu Donghan?

Pick the softest persimmon to pinch!

As for Hu Donghan, he was speechless at Mu Zhengfeng's transformation.

In Hu Donghan's view, Mu Zhengfeng's behavior stems from extreme inferiority complex. Having lived two lives, Hu Donghan naturally didn't bother to take Mu Zhengfeng seriously and let him act as he pleased—treating it as if he had been bitten by a dog!

So, Hu Donghan's attitude towards Mu Zhengfeng is the same now.

He called Mu Zhengfeng a "fool" and walked past him, leaving the External Affairs Hall.

Mu Zhengfeng was deeply provoked by Hu Donghan's "fool."

However, Hu Donghan had already left the External Affairs Hall, where there were four enforcement disciples on either side. If he were to provoke Hu Donghan now, it would be like looking for trouble in front of the enforcement disciples—Mu Zhengfeng, with his rat-like courage, definitely didn't have the guts!

"You... you..." Mu Zhengfeng could only point at Hu Donghan, jumping in anger.

The many outer sect disciples in the External Affairs Hall all burst into laughter and went back to their own business—Mu Zhengfeng was indeed like a pitiful clown in their eyes.

This pitiful clown, though he had brought them a bit of joy, they had no intention of helping him.

A clown is just a clown, only for entertainment.

Mu Zhengfeng, already jumping in anger, now felt a blackness in his eyes from the surrounding laughter, almost fainting.

...

To Hu Donghan, Mu Zhengfeng was just a negligible passerby.

After leaving the External Affairs Hall, Hu Donghan summoned a servant disciple to deliver three meals a day and then returned to his room.

Back in his room, Hu Donghan quickly forgot about what had happened earlier. He held a spirit stone, took a small Qi-nourishing pill, and began to cultivate.

Unconsciously, five days had passed.

In the room, a colorful spirit shield danced around Hu Donghan, and he manipulated finger seals. After a few finger seals, he waved his hand, and another spirit force bullet flew out, hitting the wall and creating a fist-sized hole.

Now, in this simple room, the walls were dotted with over a hundred holes of various sizes—these holes were the marks left by Hu Donghan's practice of spells.

He gathered his spirit force, removed the spirit shield around him, closed his eyes, and roughly calculated in his mind.

"Five spirit stones and two small Qi-nourishing pills have been completely used up. My cultivation at the first level of Qi Practitioner is now firmly established. The Spirit Bullet Spell and Spirit Shield Spell are roughly mastered, and the spirit force consumption is much less than before, but the power has indeed increased significantly. If I use the Spirit Shield Spell for protection, with my cultivation at the first level of Qi Practitioner, I can probably cast five Spirit Bullet Spells. Of course, if the Spirit Shield Spell is hit, the spirit force consumption doubles, and I can only cast three Spirit Bullet Spells..."

"However, no matter what, with my current cultivation, killing a few weak Yin Souls should not be a problem."

"Now, it's time to complete the initiation trial mission! The sect's initiation trial mission is just to kill ten Yin Souls. Even if I act alone, by wandering around and killing, it should take only one or two days to complete. Next, I need to find a way to get a Ghost Spirit..."

First, he restored his spirit force, then Hu Donghan went out, summoned a nearby servant, and instructed him to bring some hot water and food.

After a thorough wash and a meal, Hu Donghan fell into a deep sleep.

Tomorrow, he would go on a mission, so he needed to be well-rested.

This was the most peaceful sleep Hu Donghan had had in the three months since joining the Yin Soul Sect.
