Chapter 1561

"Hmph ~ You've got guts. You've only been in my Thunder Shock Palace for two months and you dare to slack off. Every year, Junior Brother Zhenming goes to the Eastern Ridge Medicinal Garden to pick Flame Dawn Grass and has never made any mistakes.

Yet this year, when Grandmaster Zhenhan opened the cauldron to refine the Clear Flower Pill, you shut down the formation so that Zhenming can't pick the spirit herbs. Tell me … How can Zhenming not be punished? "

"Aiyo ~" Xiao Hua cried out in shock. "This is my fault, how can I let Senior Brother Zhenming suffer?

Please report to the deacon, Senior Brother is willing to accept the punishment! "

The disciple on duty looked at Xiao Hua and nodded. "Fortunately, you're also a responsible man. Let's go, follow I in!"

As the disciple on duty walked into Thunder Shock Hall, Xiao Hua asked tentatively. "Senior Brother, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask!"

The disciple on duty glanced at him and sneered. "If you should ask, ask. If you shouldn't ask, don't ask!"

"Hehe ~" Xiao Hua smiled apologetically. "I just want to ask, although the Eastern Ridge Medicinal Garden is protected by a formation, but … that formation was also set up by the sect's elders. Why don't we ask the elders to break the formation?

Hmm, or perhaps, the Eastern Ridge Medicinal Garden's token … is there only one? "

"I can tell you're still hoping for a fluke!"

The disciple didn't find it strange and rolled his eyes. "The Eastern Ridge Medicinal Garden is very far from my Thunder Shock Palace. Every year, only Zhenming goes there once when Grandmaster Zhenhan is refining the Clear Flower Pill. Normally, no one pays attention to that place, so naturally, there's a spare token!

But the strange thing is, when Zhenming couldn't enter the medicinal garden for fear of delaying his refining, he came back to look for the spare token. That token was actually not there and mysteriously disappeared! "

"Ah?

Disappeared? When did it disappear? "

Xiao Hua was shocked. That token disappeared, which meant that someone could enter and exit the Eastern Ridge formation at any time. Then … his own safety was not assured!

How could he not be shocked?

"How would I know?"

The disciple rolled his eyes again. "No one went to the Eastern Ridge Medicinal Garden for hundreds of years. No one paid attention to that spare token for a long time. Even the deacon doesn't know, so how would I know?"

Xiao Hua's eyes turned slightly, and he thought. "Could it be … there's something special in the Eastern Ridge?

Looks like I'll have to properly search for it when I get back! "

The disciple continued, "As for asking the elders to break the restriction, only you can think of that. That restriction was set up by the ancestors. Who would dare to disturb them if it wasn't a serious matter?"

While they were talking, the two of them arrived in front of a side hall. The disciple told Xiao Hua to wait at the door, and he went in to report.

"Damn it, what should we do now?"

Xiao Hua stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, slightly frowning. He had only been in the Imperial Thunder Sect for less than a hundred days, and he had already gotten himself into trouble. Xiao Hua already knew what the Clear Flower Pill was. It was a pill used by foundation establishment stage cultivators to increase their power. Even within the Imperial Thunder Sect, there weren't many of them. Every foundation establishment stage cultivator only had a small supply every year.

If he delayed the concoction of the Clear Flower Pill, he would most likely delay the cultivation of many of the Thunderclap Palace's Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"But, no one told me when someone would come to the Eastern Ridge to pick the Flame Dawn Grass every year!" Xiao Hua felt that he was very innocent.

Just as Xiao Hua was thinking, the disciple came out from the side hall. Behind the disciple were two other foundation establishment stage cultivators. One of them was a middle-aged man in the late stage of foundation establishment stage. He was tall, had a full beard, and a pair of bell-like eyes. He looked very ferocious.

The other one was Zhen Feng, whom Xiao Hua met last time.

When Xiao Hua saw Zhen Feng, a happy expression appeared on his face. He thought to himself, "Wonderful, this Zhen Feng should know …"

Before this thought even appeared in his mind, a trace of anger appeared on Zhen Feng's face. He quickly took half a step forward and berated, "Xiao Hua!

What did you do?

I told you clearly that day!

In another ten days, it will be the day of picking the Flame Dawn Grass. You mustn't be careless. Don't do it yourself, just wait for your Senior Brother Zhen Ming to pick it.

You can also watch from the side. Wait until next year, you can pick it yourself. There's no need for your Senior Brother Zhen Ming to go!

You, on the other hand, sealed the Eastern Ridge's formation. No matter how Zhen Ming called you, you wouldn't come out. You … Sigh, fortunately, you knew to come to the Thunder Flash Hall to receive your punishment. Let's see how Deacon Zhen Feng will deal with it! "

Xiao Hua was slightly stunned. He rolled his eyes and could only sigh. He bowed to the big man and said, "Disciple Xiao Hua greets Senior Zhen Feng.

Disciple only cared about cultivation, but forgot his duty and failed to live up to Deacon's kindness. Deacon, please punish me! "

"So you're Xiao Hua!"

Zhen Feng looked Xiao Hua up and down a few times, but didn't see anything special. He said with a bit of displeasure, "The Palace Lord specially ordered this Deacon to arrange a job for you.

This Eastern Ridge was also chosen by you. Why did you slack off when you just arrived at the herb garden?

I know you chose the Eastern Ridge because you want to be free and wholeheartedly focused on cultivation.

But cultivation is cultivation, you can't forget your duty as a disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect. If every disciple was like you, wouldn't my Imperial Thunder Sect be a plate of loose sand?

How can my Imperial Thunder Sect establish itself in the country of Xi? "

"I only use you once a year and you make a mistake. Moreover, the Eastern Ridge hasn't … Alas, what should this Deacon say about you?"

"Disciple knows his mistake!" Xiao Hua was very helpless. He could only bow again.

"Alright, this Deacon doesn't care!

But … you're still a probationary disciple now. In another ten months, you'll become an official disciple. Your mistake this time … I'm afraid it will affect your assessment. If you don't pass the assessment, you'll still have to leave the Imperial Thunder Sect! "

Xiao Hua was very anxious. He stretched out his hand and took out the storage pouch. He said anxiously, "Disciple … has already picked the Flame Dawn Grass. I don't know … if I can atone for my mistake?"

"Atone for your mistake?" Zhen Feng sneered and said, "What kind of mistake did you make? How can you atone for your mistake?"

As he spoke, he took the storage pouch and took out the jade box. His face revealed a trace of surprise. He looked at Xiao Hua and said, "Did you pick this?"

"Yes, disciple picked it!" Xiao Hua nodded.

"Yes, there's a special technique to pick this Flame Dawn Grass. The technique isn't easy to grasp.

Seeing that the Flame Dawn Grass you picked was clean and didn't damage the roots, it's pretty good! "Zhen Feng's expression eased a bit.

"Aiyo, Xiao Hua …" Zhen Feng suddenly cried out from the side, "I remember the last time you came, you were still in the middle of the tenth level of qi refining, right?

How … "

Xiao Hua's heart shook. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Disciple … disciple went into secluded cultivation to break through the bottleneck of the tenth level of qi refining.

Of course, disciple remembered Senior Zhen Feng's instructions and wanted to come out before Senior Brother Zhen Ming went to the Eastern Ridge, but … "

"Oh ~ I understand!"

Zhen Feng nodded and said to Zhen Feng, "The bottleneck from the tenth level of qi refining to the eleventh level of qi refining is really difficult. It's the beginning of the birth of divine sense. Xiao Hua wholeheartedly went into secluded cultivation, so it's understandable.

Moreover, Xiao Hua actually used two months to go from the middle of the tenth level of qi refining to the middle of the eleventh level of qi refining. As expected of … the person that the Palace Master thinks highly of.

If he can't become a disciple of our Thunderclap Palace because of this mistake, it'll really be our Thunderclap Palace's loss! "

Zhen Feng also nodded slightly, a trace of surprise flashing through his eyes. He'd heard of someone going from the first level of qi refining to the second level of qi refining in two months, but he'd never heard of a disciple going from the tenth level of qi refining to the eleventh level of qi refining. This Xiao Hua was the disciple that Thunder Meng Daoist instructed, so how could he not pay attention to him?

"Mm," Zhen Feng nodded slightly, looking at Xiao Hua and saying, "Looking at your aptitude, you can be cultivated!

However, you must remember that you're now a disciple of the Thunderclap Sect, not a disciple of an aristocratic family. When considering anything, you must put the sect's interests first! "

"Yes, disciple understands!" Xiao Hua's heart relaxed, and he bowed and said.

"Since this is your first offense, I won't look into it too deeply. I'll punish you with a year's worth of offerings."

Zhen Feng waved his hand and returned the storage pouch to Xiao Hua, saying, "Let Zhen Feng take you to see Martial Uncle Zhen Ye. If he can let this matter pass, you'll be fine, otherwise …"

Zhen Feng didn't finish his words, but Xiao Hua naturally understood. There were only two meanings: if Xiao Hua didn't pass the test in a few months, he'd still be expelled from the mountain; if not, he'd have to ask Thunder Meng Daoist to come out and talk.

Xiao Hua's heart was bitter, but he could only put on a smile, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior!"

Soon after, Xiao Hua followed Zhen Feng out of the Thunderclap Palace and flew towards a mountain range.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhen Feng said, "Xiao Hua, picking the Blaze Dawn Grass a few days earlier or later doesn't matter.

However, this matter was a bit coincidental. Martial Uncle Zhen Xie, who was supposed to be refining the Blaze Dawn Pill, suddenly disappeared, and Martial Uncle Zhen Ye was temporarily left behind by the Palace Master to refine the Blaze Dawn Pill.

Martial Uncle Zhen Ye originally wanted to go on a trip, so of course he wasn't willing!

On top of that, the Blaze Dawn Grass wasn't delivered in time, so he flew into a rage. Zhen Ming was also punished with a year's worth of offerings.

When you arrive at Martial Uncle Zhen Ye's Immortal's cave, you must properly apologize. If this matter isn't settled, it'll be really bad for you! "

Seeing that Zhen Feng didn't mention anything about the date of picking the Blaze Dawn Grass, Xiao Hua sneered in his heart. This thing was just empty words. Just now, he didn't mention it in front of Zhen Feng, so there was no need to mention it now.

However, Xiao Hua had another plan in his heart, "None of the things in Zhen Xie's storage pouch were damaged, I took them all.

This guy is actually a pill master, so there must be some pill recipes in there. I'm at the eleventh layer of Qi Refining, and I'm worried about not having any pills to take. When I go back, I'll take a careful look! "

After flying for two hours, they arrived at a place with beautiful mountains and limpid waters. Zhen Feng didn't come any closer, so he sent out a Summoning Talisman. A moment later, a boy around the fourth layer of Qi Refining flew out from the mountainside. Looking at the two of them, he laughed and said, "Which one of you is Senior Martial Brother Xiao Hua?"

Xiao Hua took a step forward and cupped his hands, saying, "I am!"

"En, Senior Martial Brother Xiao, please follow I. This senior doesn't need to come!"

Zhen Feng looked at Xiao Hua, nodded slightly, then turned around and left.

"Senior Martial Brother Xiao, please!" The boy stood up and led the way, leading Xiao Hua into the Immortal's cave!
