In the quiet secret room of Leiyun Academy, Xu Ming, the third elder of Leiyun Academy, sat cross-legged on the cushion and practiced quietly.

Since the end of the competition and ranking battle, he has been much more low-key recently and rarely appears in front of others, because whether it is the competition or the ranking battle of the fate list, his disciples have performed mediocrely, and there is nowhere to be praised at all.

If his apprentice is not good, he can only pin his hopes on himself. The best way to save face is undoubtedly to improve his strength.

As one of the three chief elders of Leiyun Academy, his strength is beyond doubt. However, no one will think that his strength is too high, and of course he is the same.

As the true energy power was circulating, the martial arts he practiced were instantly interpreted to the extreme by him. Suddenly, a terrifying aura was released directly from him, filling every space in the secret room.

"puff!!!!"

However, at this moment, his face suddenly changed when he had practiced well, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, dyeing a large area of ​​ground red.

"Ah!! What's going on? What's going on? What's wrong with my cultivation?!!!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xu Ming's face suddenly became a little ferocious. At the same time, his body seemed to have been hollowed out all its power in an instant, and even the posture of sitting cross-legged is a bit difficult.

"Why, why does every time I activate my strength, my dantian will feel pain and split. And over the past few days, I feel that my true energy is constantly weakening. What is the reason?!!!"

He gritted his teeth hard, and he was simply anxious and angry at this moment, and his eyes were even more helpless.

A few days ago, he wanted to practice like this time, but before his true energy could be fully activated, he felt a severe pain in his lower abdomen, and then blood was gushing like he had just now, and he instantly lost all his strength.

Since that time, he has practiced intermittently several times, and the result is all the same. Every time he practices, he will squirt with blood and he has no way to continue practicing.

Moreover, to this day, he has clearly felt that his power is slowly weakening, and even the Yuan Dan in his dantian seems to shrink a little.

"Come!!!"

Taking a deep breath, he tried to gather a little strength to sit cross-legged, and then suddenly shouted to the outside of the door.

"Disciple is here, what are the elders' instructions?"

Hearing the third elder's shout, the disciple guarding the gate outside quickly responded, but he did not come into the secret room.

"Go, call Jia Pingzheng and say I want to see him!!!" His face shook, and he almost gritted his teeth and said these words, as if he was a little difficult to even speak.

"Disciple, please obey the order!" The disciple who was guarding the gate agreed, and then took the order and left.

"Jia Pingzheng, I hope it's not your fault, otherwise I will definitely eat you alive!!!" When the order was conveyed, his face was still gloomy and terrible, as if he wanted to choose someone to eat. As he spoke, he quickly took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down the turbulent blood and restore some strength as much as possible.

Speaking of which, in recent days, he has not felt that he had any mistakes in his cultivation. The only possibility that he could cause today's situation seems to be the pill that Jia Pingzheng presented to him.

Although he spent a lot of effort to study the pill, and even sent someone to investigate Jia Pingzheng's background until he found no abnormalities, he swallowed the pill, but now looking back, he really started to become like this not long after swallowing the pill.

Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then the sound of the gatekeeper's report came from the side, "Elder, Junior Brother Jia Pingzheng has arrived."

"Let him come in!"

The third elder's face was slightly better, and then he ordered outside the door.

"Cry!!!" While speaking, the door of the secret room had been pushed open from outside. Then, a young man walked in respectfully. Who would it be if it weren't for Jia Pingzheng?

"I have seen Master, Master is blessed with great blessings!!"

Standing still, Jia Pingzheng bowed to the third elder immediately, his attitude was simply indescribable. However, while speaking, his eyes suddenly swept towards a pool of blood on the ground, and his eyes lit up slightly.

"Jia Pingzheng, I ask you, where did you get the pill you gave to your teacher before?" His face turned dark, and Xu Ming's eyes were extremely oppressive, as if he wanted to put enough pressure on Jia Pingzheng to let the other party tell the truth.

"Master has swallowed the pill?" Jia Pingzheng raised his eyebrows but suddenly asked.

"Well? How did you know that I swallowed the pill?" When Xu Ming heard Jia Pingzheng's words, his face changed slightly, and he was obviously aware of some unusual situations.

"Tsk tsk, why can't I know? Not only that, I also know that in recent days, my master always feels extremely painful in his dantian, and his body of true energy is getting weaker and weaker, and he can't even practice true energy. I wonder if the disciple is right?"

As he raised the corner of his mouth, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Jia Pingzheng's face. As he spoke, he straightened his waist and no longer had any respect.

"You... are you really messing with it? There is something wrong with that pill?!!!"

He looked stunned. At this moment, he didn't understand. It turned out that the problem was actually on the pill.

"Of course there is a problem. I think the master should have carefully studied the pill. Haven't you noticed that something was added to the pill?"

With his eyes narrowed slightly, Jia Pingzheng had completely unveiled his disguise at this time, but he no longer needed to act with the other party in a humble manner.

Speaking of which, he has been staying in the room for practice these days, just waiting for the arrival of this moment. Now that he finally got what he wanted, his plan can finally kick off.

"What did you... eat me?" Xu Ming shook his face and wanted to slap Jia Pingzheng on the opposite side to death with a palm, but at this moment, of course he couldn't do that.

"It's nothing. I'm afraid you won't understand it if you say it, but as long as you know, this thing is now in your old dantian. It will not only prevent you from practicing, but also consume your true energy at all times. I think it won't take long to run your true energy, and even the Yuan Dan will completely disappear and eventually become a useless person."

Jia Pingzheng's tone was very calm, but as he said these words, Xu Ming's face instantly turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"You...who are you? Why do you have to plot against this elder like this?"

Trying to keep himself calm, Xu Ming felt like the sky was falling at this moment.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that you must listen to me now, otherwise no one in this world can save you."

As he said that, he suddenly reached his hand to his chest and took out a black pill the size of a fingernail. "Swallow this first. Within a month, you can ensure that your true energy will no longer disappear, and there will be no situation where you cannot practice, let alone continue to thrust blood."

"This is..." Xu Ming's hand shook, but for a moment he was a little surprised and confused.

"Don't worry, this is not a poison, but an antidote. It can only help you get rid of the poison for a month. If you want to remove all your poison, you must do something for me."

Jia Pingzheng's face was full of pride. Once upon a time, he was just a playboy, and he was even more weak and pitiful at that time. However, as time went by, he not only improved his strength, but also could control the life and death of the third elder of the Thunder Cloud Academy. The changes in it were even a little dazed.
