Chapter 6: Framing

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Not bad, it's not difficult at all. I would like to ask you, what level is referred to as the first level of agility

Embracing such thoughts, the plump Taoist, having taken advantage of the situation, no longer wore a grim expression. After finishing a jar of wine, his face was flushed, and he began to boast, putting his arm around Fang Xing's shoulders, looking just like true brothers.

The plump Taoist closed his eyes in pain and said, "Enough, enough. How did I get entangled with such a little calamity? Let me tell you, if the meridians have adapted to the presence of spiritual energy and can allow the spiritual energy to circulate freely for a full cycle, then it is considered the first level of spiritual movement..."

Having witnessed the terrifying strength of the disciples of the Daoist sect, Fang Xing has come to perceive the cultivation of the Daoist sect as exceedingly formidable

He was just ambushed by Fang Xing earlier, which is why he hasn't made a move. If he truly intends to act, he is not necessarily afraid of him

The plump Taoist said in a low voice, his eyes nearly swollen shut

The Yin-Yang Divine Demon Mirror can discern techniques, spiritual treasures, and the cultivation levels of others, yet it cannot discern oneself, which is also a source of helplessness for Fang Xing

The stout man suddenly understood the situation and hurriedly called out: "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. We were just playing around, so let's not disturb the brothers of the Medicine Supervisor. Young man, let me go, and we can have a proper conversation..."

Even the leader of the family’s miscellaneous officials will feel greatly embarrassed, and is likely to resent himself

To everyone's surprise, it was the chubby Taoist priest with a bruised and battered face who spoke up.

Laozi's surname is Yu, not Zhu

My surname is Yu, not Zhu

Slow... slow down...

Bring a basin of water for me to wash my face

Who dares

The means are ruthless, and the audacity is boundless; such an opponent is one that no one wishes to have

The fat man actually seized the opportunity to catch Fang Xing hunting during his official duties as a means to control him, believing that Fang Xing would not dare to escalate the matter. However, little did he know that this kid had no concept of fear at all. Not only did he directly beat himself up, but he also shamelessly framed himself. The spiritual medicine, which is as crucial as life itself in the Daoist sect, was plucked away just like that.

Absolutely do not escalate the matter

What is there to be afraid of? These few individuals are neither from the Drug Supervision Bureau nor have they been given orders from the Drug Supervision Bureau. How dare they flaunt their power and come to the Drug Supervision Bureau to act recklessly? I refuse to believe that the people from the Drug Supervision Bureau do not have their own concerns... By the way, that guy, the Rat Spirit, don't you have a golden hairpin? The one you got when you were betrothed to your fiancée at home. Bring it over and stuff it into his arms, saying that he came with two people, asking us to secretly give him a few spirit herbs. We dared not comply, so they resorted to robbery and even shamelessly demanded bribes.

The group of young Taoist disciples seemed to have finally regained their spirits, clumsily following his instructions to get to work

Wang Zhi let out a cry of despair and rushed to check on his wine

He suddenly recalled the scene where he released his spiritual energy, only to have it shattered by Fang Xing, and his expression immediately changed.

The stout man sat up, a thought crossing his mind. Although he had endured quite a few punches and kicks, he had not sustained any internal injuries and was still able to fight back

The fastest runner with a ring leg is already prepared to report to the drug administration to file a complaint

Indeed, I am not a member of the Medicine Supervisory Bureau, and my presence here is inherently unjustifiable and lacking in credibility. This little rascal falsely accuses me of stealing spiritual medicine, which others are unlikely to believe. After all, the rules of the Qingyun Mountain sect are strict, and no one has dared to openly steal spiritual medicine. This is a resource owned by the sect and is strictly regulated. However, if those from the Medicine Supervisory Bureau truly believe that I have come here to solicit bribes, it would be quite detrimental for me.

This fellow is too fierce, difficult to handle, there's no choice but to bow down

Wang Zhi and others were terrified, trembling with fear, hesitant in their hearts, and dared not to move.

The plump Taoist muttered

Have you also cultivated spiritual energy?

Let go of Brother Yu... ...

This... doesn't seem right...

Moreover, he also came to understand that this scoundrel named Fang Xing was nothing but a freak. After only a few days as a Taoist apprentice, he had already gathered the apprentices of Zone B3 as his subordinates. It is worth noting that each of these apprentices was older than him. Furthermore, this fellow had already cultivated spiritual energy, and upon reporting to the Taoist sect, his status became equal to his own. There was truly no need to escalate matters too much.

After drinking a jar of wine with the plump Taoist, Fang Xing had already inquired about most of the things he wanted to know. With bright eyes and a thoughtful expression, he said, "So, as long as I ring the Clear Sound Bell by the Spirit Field, I can become an outer sect disciple?"

Fang Xing suddenly seemed to have changed his demeanor, cheerfully helping the plump Daoist to his feet and attentively brushing the dust off his clothes

After the plump Taoist finished washing his face, he thought about quickly leaving this nightmarish place. However, Fang Xing had already set out the food and drink, warmly inviting the plump Taoist to sit down and enjoy a meal together. The plump Taoist was almost forcibly pulled to sit down. He was originally someone who loved to eat, and upon seeing the roasted, golden-brown rabbit meat, along with the three jars of fragrant liquor, he could no longer maintain his composure.

What he just said, rather than being directed at Wang Zhi and others, is more like something said for the Fat Daoist to hear

The plump Taoist was taken aback, and the thought of taking action immediately vanished.

Wang Zhi suddenly reacted after he brought the water over: "How did you know that I have four jars of fine wine hidden under my bed?"

It is only natural for superiors to enjoy the respect and filial piety of their subordinates, but boundaries must not be crossed

Fang Xing cast a glance at him and said, "There are only three jars left..."

However, just as this thought arose in his mind, he suddenly felt a flash before his eyes, and a gleaming knife was pressed against his neck. The chilling sensation immediately brought the plump Taoist back to his senses. Fang Xing, with his round and adorable little face, leaned closer to the plump Taoist and whispered, "You fat pig, don't be ungrateful. I fear neither heaven nor earth. If this escalates, let's see who suffers!"

Oh dear, Brother Pig, it is all my fault. I did not realize you were just joking and ended up being too harsh...

The two young acolytes felt a chill of fear, remaining rooted to the spot, shrinking back and daring not to advance.

I... ... am... ... well... ... can I still get my hairpin back?

The stout Taoist, with his tongue out, said: "That's right, brother, you will go and ring the bell tomorrow, and your senior brother will be waiting to celebrate your promotion"

"You are ruthless, this time I concede, eternity will tell, let us wait and see..."

This little bastard is a madman

Fang Xing coldly instructed, while simultaneously pulling a handful of spiritual herbs from the nearby herb field, regardless of what they were, and directly stuffed them into the arms of the plump Daoist.

After a while, the two Taoist boys finally reacted, shouting in unison as they rushed over to seize the person.

Hehe, we shall see, who will outshine whom, it was only after seeing you that I realized I could also become an outer sect disciple...

Fang Xing finally reacted, hurriedly standing up and kicking Wang Zhi, who was standing foolishly in place, saying: "I am talking about you, how can you be so oblivious? Quickly fetch water for Brother Zhu to wash his face. And you, little freckle, don’t just stand there foolishly, set the meat out, and bring out those jars of good wine from under Wang Zhi's bed. Today, I want to drink and celebrate with Brother Zhu..."

This is also the reason for Fang Xing's lack of experience. In fact, the cultivation in the Daoist sect is challenging primarily at the initial and later stages; the early stage of cultivation is not difficult. Generally speaking, once spiritual energy is present within the body, the remaining task is merely to allow one's meridians to adapt to the existence of this spiritual energy. It can be said that achieving the first level of spiritual movement is a natural progression. Therefore, many young disciples, after cultivating spiritual energy, will directly report to the Daoist sect.

Wang Zhi, the Hanged Ghost, Little Freckle, you two tie these two fellows up, Rat Spirit, Bow-legged, you two go to the Medicine Supervisor to report, just say we caught three guys who came to the medicinal herb field to steal medicine in broad daylight

Upon hearing the words of the Fat Daoist, the young disciples exchanged glances, clearly taken aback by the unexpected news

Upon hearing Fang Xing's words, all the young disciples understood and began to take action, those with ropes took the ropes, and those with gold hairpins took the gold hairpins

Fang Xing smiled coldly, and that gaze involuntarily startled the plump Taoist priest.

As for the spiritual herb that Fang Xing was framed for pulling out, it has now been replanted in the soil, and whether it survives depends on luck. After all, it is not unusual for one or two spiritual herbs to wither in the spiritual herb field, as long as the quantity remains sufficient

He indeed heard those words, initially dismissing them, but the more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became

Fang Xing was quite surprised; he thought it was some kind of standard, but it turned out he had already achieved it a month ago

Fang Xing suddenly straightened up, a surge of spiritual energy resonating within him, releasing an inexplicable pressure.

Moreover, even if everything were to be clarified, being beaten to a bloody pulp by a ten-year-old Taoist boy and then being tied up like a fat pig and sent to the Medicine Supervisor for disposal would ruin one's reputation for a lifetime

Only Fang Xing let out a cold smile, having long anticipated this outcome

I have a bit of disdain for him; he doesn't know how to hide things at all. How could he possibly hide good items under the bed!

The nearby Wang Zhi and others, even the two young disciples following the plump Taoist, were all stunned by this scene. The rules of the Qingyun Mountain Taoist sect are strict; when has there ever been an instance of a young disciple beating an outer sect disciple? Moreover, outer sect disciples have already cultivated spiritual energy; even if their physique is weak, they are not someone a young disciple can approach. With just a surge of spiritual energy, even the strongest young disciple would be sent flying.
