Chapter 512
Originally, Long Chen had thought that the first day’s results would make Zhou Qifeng tranquil for at least a few days . But Zhou Qifeng began to make things hard the very next day .
However, this time, Zhou Qifeng didn’t come out personally . Instead, he sent out two Meridian Opening experts who he had appointed Elders .
Those two were given the t.i.tle of Training Elder . On the second day, they called out all the disciples, including Long Chen, and began to undergo ‘training’ .
The goal of this training was to strengthen everyone’s physiques . Only with a powerful physique could you cultivate stronger cultivation techniques and Battle Skills .
It sounded good, but when the disciples saw what they were drilling, they almost coughed up blood . They were doing martial sequences such as the horse stance, the frog jump, etc .
Those movements were extremely commonly seen in the secular world . But in the cultivation world, no one would train in those, as they were essentially useless .
When people raised their doubts about this, the Training Elders had replied that the foundation was the most important thing, and so they needed to see what kind of foundation they currently had .
What made them the most speechless was that the Training Elders made it incredibly difficult, nitpicking every small detail . If they didn’t do it perfectly, they would be directly kicked out and cursed .
The disciples quickly realized this was no drilling, but just making life hard on them . They could only obediently endure for now, trying to make their movements according to their standards so that there was nothing to nitpick .
These two Training Elders had learned from their predecessors, and they didn’t dare target Long Chen . Instead, they would pick out targets from the people beside him .
One time, one of them set his gaze on Meng Qi . But seeing Long Chen’s icy gaze, he hesitated and decided not to in the end .
After three days, Long Chen was finally unable to endure any longer . He could tell these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds were just intentionally making things hard on them so that they had no time to cultivate .
That very night, Long Chen, Gu Yang, Guo Ran, Song Mingyuan, Yue Zifeng, and Li Qi covered up their faces and snuck their way into the residence of those two Elders .
As soon as they snuck in, without saying a word, Long Chen charged forward, knocking down one of them with a spear . The other one was knocked unconscious by Gu Yang and the others .
“What’s going on? How are they so weak?” Guo Ran was dumbfounded .
“Fool, they might have a high cultivation base, but their true combat experience is essentially zero . They’re just a bunch of servants amongst the workers . How strong did you think they would be?” said Long Chen disdainfully .
He had long since noticed that while they had reached the early Meridian Opening realm, they lacked any murderous aura at all . Most likely, they had never killed anyone ever .
Even when they had snuck in, the two of them had still been drinking . In fact, even once they had noticed several masked men enter, they had actually asked them what they were doing . Such idiots were truly the peak of all idiots .
They brought the two of them behind a mountain . Long Chen said, “Break all their limbs . ”
An extremely inhumane ma.s.sage was followed by the sounds of bone breakings .
However, the two of them were still alive . They were unable to make a sound, not because they didn’t want to, but because Gu Yang’s socks were stuffed in their mouths .
Gu Yang’s socks were the worst smelling, and even he would feel dizzy when he smelled them . As a result, that grand mission had been given to him .
“Who let you show off, who let you bully others, just keep going…”
Thinking of how insufferably arrogant they had been during the drilling, they beat them black and blue . They only stopped once the two of them had fallen unconscious, and they couldn’t help feeling refreshed .
“Alright, let’s go . ”
Long Chen felt that was good enough . If they continued beating them, they really might die . These injuries would probably require several months to heal .
Long Chen brought them to leave . But Guo Ran had only just taken a few steps when he suddenly thought of something . A naughty smile appeared on his face, and he ran back, taking off his pants . A stream of yellow liquid splashed on the two of them .
Gu Yang and the others also became excited and ran back, giving the two of them a free shower .
Long Chen was speechless and didn’t join them . He returned to his residence, and he found someone from the Huayun Sect waiting for him .
This person had brought him a spatial ring . Inside were ten million Bone Tempering Pills . That made Long Chen incredibly delighted . They had just run out of Bone Tempering Pills a few days ago, so Zheng Wenlong had sent them right on time .
That person told Long Chen that to refine these pills, the Huayun Sect had been recruiting alchemists from all directions . Now, their own alchemy team was extremely powerful .
Long Chen asked this person whether doing so was safe, as it might expose the secret, but that person merely smiled and told him to be at ease .
Of the Huayun Sect alchemists, some were their own disciples and thus extremely reliable, while some were alchemists they had recruited . Those alchemists had all had to sign contracts that none of them would dare break . Furthermore, they were all refining within the Huayun Sect’s secret rooms, and so there was no way for anything to leak .
After sending that person off, Long Chen decided not to distribute all the medicinal pills like he had the first time, but to just distribute ten days’ worth .
With Zhou Qifeng here, it was best to be cautious . If they noticed people had tens of thousands of Bone Tempering Pills in their spatial rings, that would raise his suspicions .
