Chapter 9 Your Difficulties

Because Zhao Yuan is a disciple in charge, the other ordinary-level disciples can only nod in agreement

Here, Zihao would never easily sit back and wait for his fate. After returning to the treehouse, he entered the system again to check if there were any other ways to leave Tianmen. However, since Tianmen is built on a mountainside, surrounded by steep cliffs on all sides, the only way out is the path through the mountain gate. The back mountain is now also under jurisdiction, so there is little hope left.

As long as a few senior brothers do not speak up, no one will definitely know. Later, I will bring some benefits for a few senior brothers." Zihao said with a sheepish smile, implying a bribe.

"We don't care, go back!" These guards clearly show no mercy at all

Senior brother, my happiness in the next life depends on you

Zi Hao glared with both eyes, realizing that Zhao Yu'an was sincerely trying to make things difficult for him

Master, this is my last chance, please have pity on me

Baiyao Peak, connected to the back mountain of Tianmen, is a medicinal mountain that hosts numerous rare herbs and plants that can be used for refining elixirs, specifically those of the third tier and below

"Senior Brother, is there something you need?" Zihao replied with a smile that concealed a blade.

"The daily tasks specially prepared for me by my senior brother, I cannot accept such kindness; I will choose for myself instead." Zihao certainly knew that Zhao Yuan had ulterior motives and immediately declined politely.

Zihao turned his head to look at the owner of the hand, who was none other than Zhao Yuan, the person he had humiliated yesterday

Those disciples in the stage of construction were like madmen, continuously pushing forward, flailing their arms and legs, crying out like ghosts and howling like wolves

Zhao Yuanan let out a cold laugh, waving the number plate he had just snatched in front of Zi Hao. Then, he tossed it into the crowd, immediately inciting a frenzy of scrambling.

Since he cannot go to gather herbs, Zihao can no longer rely on herb gathering to exchange for elixirs. Therefore, the only way to obtain elixirs is through another method, which is to complete daily tasks

"You worthless fool, how dare you compete with other senior brothers for the license plate..." Following this, a familiar voice filled with mockery and anger rang out.

A guard disciple disdainfully remarked, "Aren't you that useless one? What business do you have descending the mountain? Disciples in the foundation-building stage are not allowed to leave Tianmen at will; you should be aware of this rule. Hurry back!"

Zihao was met with a cold reception; although somewhat unwilling, he had no choice but to return home.

Upon arriving at the affairs office of Tianmen, Zihai found it to be crowded as well, with disciples in the building stage lining up, coming and going, creating a bustling scene at the entrance.

As Zi Hao clenched his fist, he thought that if it had been before, he would have likely struck out to teach Zhao Yuan another lesson. However, without the badge, he would be unable to ascend the mountain to gather herbs in exchange for elixirs. Therefore, he could only endure this moment of calm.

As soon as Zihao left, several guard disciples immediately began to whisper to each other, saying: "This waste actually offended Senior Brother Zhao, truly asking for trouble. Senior Brother Zhao has stated that he is not allowed to descend the mountain for the entire month."

Only one hundred people are allowed to ascend Kunlun Peak for herb gathering, therefore, those disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage who did not receive a token can only go to the affairs office at Tianmen to receive their assigned daily tasks

Do not push, you can only ascend Ba药峰 with a number plate, and there are only one hundred number plates available, first come, first served!" A voice suddenly rang out from the crowded front.

In the midst of the search ... ... "But I heard the delicate voice of Meng'er saying.

However, Baicao Peak is extremely steep and perilous, and most of the rare flowers and unusual plants grow on the cliffs, making it quite difficult to collect them without certain skills

Upon seeing Zhao Yuan, Zi Hao's heart skipped a beat, realizing that trouble was at hand, as he had not expected Zhao Yuan to be here

"You are here to receive your daily tasks, aren't you? I happen to have a daily task that is very suitable for you," Zhao Yuwan said enthusiastically

Upon returning to the treehouse in the back mountain, Zihao immediately entered the second world through the treasure-seeking disk

If you won't give it, then so be it. Is this the only mountain where herbs can be gathered? Zihao also preferred a soft approach over a hard one. Seeing Zhao Yuan's resolute stance, he let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

"Waste, do you want to go up the mountain to gather herbs? If you want it, then beg me, perhaps I will consider it," Zhao Yuan said with a sinister smile.

However, unexpectedly, as Zihau arrived at the mountain gate leading down the mountain, he was immediately stopped by the disciples of the Heavenly Gate who were guarding the entrance.

You have finally arrived, I have been waiting for you for a long time. As soon as Zhao Yuan saw Zihao enter, he suddenly stood up to greet him

"Meng'er, please help me check what other mountains near Tianmen, besides Baiyao Peak, have rare flowers and herbs that can be collected," Zihao inquired.

"This Zhao Yuan... do not let me find an opportunity, otherwise I will repay you double..." Zi Hao gritted his teeth and said fiercely

"Of course, it's easy to say. Several junior brothers, listen carefully, starting today, no one is allowed to give this waste a badge..." Zhao Yuan was clearly maliciously retaliating against Zihao, immediately speaking to the several ordinary-level disciples of the Heavenly Gate beside him.

After Zhao Yuanan saw Zihou leave, he revealed a very sinister smile and immediately whispered a few words to a mortal-level disciple of the Heavenly Gate, who then quickly departed.

"Brother Zhao, it seems we had a bit of a misunderstanding earlier. Let's talk things over calmly!" Zihao said with great tact, but in his heart, he had already been thoroughly greeted by Zhao Yuan's eighteen generations of ancestral teachings.

Moments later, Meng Er responded: "Search results: Yunlong Peak, approximately one mile from Tianmen."

Several senior brothers, I am going down the mountain to attend to some matters, could you please be accommodating?

Seeing the situation, Zihao's gaze sharpened, and he immediately activated his Shadow Step to push his way forward. When he reached the front of the crowd, he saw several disciples of the Heavenly Gate at the mortal level surrounded by a throng, continuously distributing numbered tokens. As it was evident that there were too many people for too few tokens, Zihao rushed in to snatch one. Just as he was about to grab a token, suddenly, a hand appeared out of nowhere and directly snatched the token that was about to fall into Zihao's hands

If you give me one, I will work like a horse or an ox for you

... ...

As Zihao followed the crowd to the foot of Baiyao Peak, he noticed that the area ahead was already crowded with disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage, seemingly waiting for something.

After waiting for nearly half an hour in line, Zihao finally entered the affairs room. However, as soon as he entered, he saw Zhao Yuan sitting behind a table, casually crossing his legs, while several disciples from the affairs room were busy assigning daily tasks to the incoming disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage

Although it is a bit far, it is still better than wasting time here. After listening to this, Zihao immediately exited the system, tidied up a bit, and then left the tree house, planning to descend the mountain and head towards Yunlong Peak

The disciples surrounding the area observed the situation with cold indifference, some even pointing fingers and gloating, as the reduction of one competitor meant an additional opportunity for them.
