this....

Seeing Manager Fu being dragged underground by a blood-red creature, Wang Bei's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

What on earth was that blood-red monster just now?

A powerful ancient behemoth? Or something weird and weird?

Wangbei joined the Danding Sect at the age of 17. After two years of hard training, he started working in the Spiritual Medicine Garden. It has been ten years now.

He had been in the sect for such a long time, but he had never heard of such a terrifying creature lurking in the sect.

Wangbei was extremely panicked by the death of Guanshi Fu.

His first thought was to escape from this place as soon as possible.

But Wangbei had just run not far before he stopped again and looked at the elixir garden behind him, greed flashing in his eyes.

It is said that people die for money and birds die for food.

At this time, it was a good opportunity for him to look north and make a fortune!

After Wangbei hesitated for a few seconds, he trotted into the elixir garden, picked out some more valuable medicines, and quickly stuffed them into his sleeves.

In fact, Wangbei was not the only one who stole elixirs from the elixir garden.

Seeing that Manager Fu was killed by a monster, the monks working in the elixir garden tacitly stuffed a large amount of elixirs into their sleeves.

Among them, there were a few who did not want to be associated with them, and were forced to take one or two herbs under the threat of other people's eyes.

In this way, all the monks present were considered 'accomplices'.

In the elixir garden.

After all the monks looked at each other, they all left the place with satisfaction, leaving only a bare medicinal field, like locusts passing by...

…

Danding Sect, Su Xing’s room.

On the bed, Su Xing sat cross-legged and took out a 'spiritual energy bag' from the storage bag for later use.

After seven days of hard training, he decided to attack the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi training.

Based on the information Su Xing learned.

During the qi training period, monks will encounter bottlenecks when reaching perfection at the fourth level of qi training, the seventh level of qi training, and the tenth level of qi training.

Bottlenecks are extremely difficult to break through.

Most monks with mediocre qualifications or lack of cultivation resources will be stuck in a bottleneck, unable to make any progress in their cultivation throughout their lives.

Before refining the longevity medicine, it was absolutely impossible for Su Xing to break through the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi training.

But now.

With the help of external objects such as the 'black silk thread' and the 'spiritual energy bag', Su Xing was able to break through to the fifth level of Qi training, which was no longer a problem.

What he lacks now is only time.

"Boss? Boss, are you there?"

Outside the door, the voices of the fat trio came.

After Su Xing responded, Big Fatty took the lead in entering the room and said anxiously: "Boss, something big happened! Manager Fu was killed by a monster this morning!"

"Manager Fu from the Spiritual Medicine Garden?"

Su Xing was stunned when he heard this: "Then Old Man Fu, hasn't he always stayed in the sect? How could he be killed by a monster?"

Heaven relied on the longevity medicine to suppress the world, and the fairy world ushered in nearly ten thousand years of peace, and there were few fights among various sects.

However, under this peaceful appearance, all kinds of monsters emerge in endlessly.

Some of these monsters are as invisible and insubstantial as the "Shou Ghost". They appear without warning, making it difficult for people to guard against them.

Although some others have entities, their abilities are terrifying and strange, far beyond what ordinary monks can contend with.

What's more, low-level monks may be injured by just taking a look at it. In severe cases, they may even fall into madness.

In order to prevent the disciples from being attacked by monsters, almost every mountain gate is equipped with a 'spiritual light array' to isolate various ghosts and monsters.

This formation can isolate ghosts whose strength does not exceed the foundation building stage.

Although ghosts at the foundation-building stage and above can pass through the 'spiritual light formation', they will trigger the formation alarm when passing through, attracting the attention of everyone in the sect.

So, how could Manager Fu who was staying in the elixir garden be attacked by monsters?

This doesn't make sense...

in the house.

Big Fat explained to Su Xing: "I heard from the disciples of the Spiritual Medicine Garden that the monster that killed Manager Fu came out of the ground directly, and it only took one breath to drag Manager Fu into the ground.

...When the monster left, he also ate all the elixirs grown in the medicine garden."

"The monster even takes the elixir?"

Manager Fu died, but Su Xingdao didn't think anything happened.

But as soon as he heard that the elixir had been taken, he couldn't help but ask: "Are all those elixirs gone? Are there any left?"

"That's not true."

Big Fatty replied: "It is said that the monster did not eat the unripe medicinal materials in the garden... and the monster also did not eat some worthless ones."

this....

After hearing what Big Fatty said, Su Xing had a strange look on his face, as if he had guessed something.

Is there a possibility.

Those medicines were not eaten by the monsters at all, but were 'taken' away by the working monks?

Seeing that Su Xing was silent, Big Fatty added: "Because of that monster, all the monks in the Spiritual Medicine Garden have run away, and the spiritual field there will be completely abandoned..."

"This is normal."

Su Xing analyzed: "The monster incident in the Spiritual Medicine Garden was just a trigger... Even if this didn't happen, the monks from the Alchemy Sect would have run away sooner or later."

"What do you mean?" The fat man was startled when he heard this.

"No one wants to be a low-level monk all his life. As long as he is a person, he will want to climb up and practice hard... Therefore, in order to prevent these disciples from practicing, Heavenly Court and major sects will increase the price of life-span medicine.

Control it within five spiritual stones."

Seeing that the fat trio still looked confused, Su Xing continued: "Think about it, the price of the life-span medicine is high. Do the monks have to work every day and non-stop to afford it?"

"I understand!"

After being reminded by Su Xing, Big Fat suddenly said: "The life-span medicine we have is a little cheaper than what the sect sells. This means that the monks at the bottom no longer have to work hard. This way, they have time to practice.

Got it!"

"clever."

Su Xing's eyes showed admiration: "So, the reason why all the monks ran away is not just because of monsters... Since you can find time to practice and have the opportunity to climb up, who is willing to earn an extra tael?

A spiritual stone?"

After Su Xing's analysis, Big Fatty thought of something else.

He said with a worried look on his face: "We sell the life-span medicine so cheaply, and some even confiscate the spirit stones. Is there anything going on?"

Su Xing understood what Big Fatty meant.

The senior officials of the Alchemy Sect control the price of life-span medicine to force the lower-level monks to work for them.

Now Su Xing sells life-span medicine at a low price, disrupting the price of life-span medicine and indirectly causing the entire Danding Sect to lose its labor force.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

If things go on like this, he will inevitably attract the attention of the senior officials of the Alchemy Sect.

Thinking of this, Su Xing planned to run away: "No, our life-span medicine can no longer be sold in the Alchemy Sect."

The fat man nodded and echoed: "Boss, where do you plan to go?"

"Just go to your Yuan Fu Sect..."

…

Danding Sect, in the master’s training room.

At this moment.

Chuchenzi, who had a late-stage foundation-building cultivation and was the head of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, actually knelt on the ground, with countless sweat dripping from his forehead.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he said to the air with great respect: "Exalted Immortal, please give me a little more time, and I will definitely find out where those longevity medicines come from!"

After saying this, Chuchenzi suddenly felt an inexplicable squeeze on his head.

Under this squeeze, blood began to ooze from his forehead, and he even heard the sound of his skull breaking.

This change made Chuchenzi even more frightened.
