Chapter 561

Zou Shuming was a man of his word. As expected, he obediently followed behind Zhang Xiaohua on the mountain path. Well, actually, even if he wanted to overtake her, he couldn't.

Thus, under the nervous anticipation of Old Consecrator Lei and the other disciples from the Pill and Grass Divisions, Zhang Xiaohua was in front, and Zou Shuming was behind her. One after the other, they rushed to the top of the mountain. Seeing Zou Shuming fall behind, all the disciples shouted loudly, "Rise up, rise up!"

Unfortunately, Zou Shuming had a strange expression on his face when he heard the cheers. On the other hand, Zhang Xiaohua's blood seemed to be boiling. She exerted strength in her legs and quickly rushed to the scene!

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was the first to arrive, the cheers of "rise up" immediately stopped. Even when Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her arms to signal, no one paid any attention to her. At this moment, Zou Shuming also arrived. He bowed to the crowd and said, "Junior Brothers, I am really sorry. I have let down everyone's expectations. In this competition of qinggong, I have indeed lost to Junior Brother Ren. Please be my witness."

Everyone's faces darkened. A disciple near Old Consecrator Lei even muttered softly, "Great King Kong's qinggong is number one in Tian Mu Peak. Could it be that he reached some kind of agreement with this Ren Xiaoyao on the way here?

Did we not give Great King Kong enough benefits? "

Although these words were said softly, the quiet mountain peak could still hear them clearly. The eyes of several people also lit up, seemingly having the same feeling.

Old Consecrator Lei also nodded slightly and looked at Zou Shuming. Zou Shuming laughed bitterly and said in a clear voice, "This Zou swears that I did not make any deal with Junior Brother Ren. This competition is extremely fair. This Zou's qinggong is indeed not a match for Junior Brother Ren."

Although Zhang Xiaohua saved Zou Shuming just now, and Zou Shuming also said that he would let Zhang Xiaohua go first, after all, it was the bet of thousands of disciples. Zou Shuming did not dare to give up too much. Later, he used 35% of his strength to chase after Zhang Xiaohua. When he saw that he could not catch up, he used 45%. Finally, when he used 655% of his strength, Zou Shuming still could not catch up with Zhang Xiaohua. Therefore, what Zou Shuming said at this time was indeed true.

Hearing Zou Shuming's oath, Old Consecrator Lei could not help but say something. He chuckled and said, "Martial Nephew Zou's words are a little too serious. Didn't the disciples ask you to replace them because they trust your qinggong and your character?

Since you came later than Martial Nephew Ren, this qinggong competition is Martial Nephew Ren's victory.

Alright, let's go down the mountain. I'm sure they're all waiting anxiously. "

Yes, they had been waiting impatiently. The disciples of Tianmu Peak's Pill Launching Hall were all waiting quietly at the arena, eagerly waiting for Old Consecrator Lei and the dozen or so representatives to return. However, when they saw the representatives shaking their heads slightly from afar, they felt a chill in their hearts. Actually, people's hearts were strange. Although the bets placed by these Pill Launching Hall disciples were not small, they were definitely not big either. Compared to the three Vajras, it could be said that they had lost to Zhang Xiaohua. However, when they thought that so many people were going to lose to Zhang Xiaohua and that Zhang Xiaohua could get so many elixirs all of a sudden, they felt unbalanced and did not want to take out even a single elixir. That was why they had asked Great Vajra Zou Shuming to challenge Zhang Xiaohua on their behalf in order to reduce the cost of the elixirs.

In the end, they went for wool and came home shorn. They even had to add another 75%.

The three Vajras were even more depressed. Their 75% was equivalent to ten taels of gold. However, since the Great Vajra could not win, they were naturally not a match either. This 75% was better than doubling it!

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's victory, the way Chen Fengxiao and Wu Zhouxu looked at Zhang Xiaohua was definitely not right.

"This … is this still the newcomer who wanted to scheme against others' money a few days ago?"

"This … is this still the Grass Division disciple who wants to control them?"

Old Consecrator Lei immediately announced the results of the competition. This time, the crowd did not make too much noise. After all, they had already accepted this result in their hearts. At this moment, a Pill Division disciple suddenly shouted, "Junior Brother Ren, yesterday I heard that you allowed the Grass Division disciples to use medicinal herbs to exchange for elixirs, and even let them use medicinal herbs to exchange for your elixirs. By doing this, you're discriminating against our Pill Division. We demand the same treatment as the Grass Division."

With a "Hua" sound, the crowd all shouted, "We're all disciples of Pill Expansion Hall. Why are the Grass Division and Pill Division treated differently?

We demand fairness, we demand uniformity! "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed, "What's all this? They're giving me different treatment even when they're giving me things."

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chen Fengxiao say in a clear voice, "Junior Brothers, don't be anxious. I also heard Junior Brother Ren say this yesterday. However, he did not say that he would not give the Pill Division disciples this preferential treatment. It's just that Junior Brother Bai was there at that time, so he told him to inform the Grass Division disciples. The Pill Division disciples are also disciples of our Pill Expansion Hall. We share the same roots, so how could he not say anything?

Don't you think so, Junior Brother Ren? "

Chen Fengxiao gave Zhang Xiaohua a look, hinting for him to cover up the lie. However, Zhang Xiaohua's intention was exactly like that, so there was no need for him to do so. His expression did not change as he said without skipping a beat, "Head Master Chen is right. I originally wanted to inform all of my brothers on Tian Mu Peak. However, I've just arrived on Tian Mu Peak and am completely blind, so I could only ask Senior Brother Bai to inform the Grass Division. Since everyone has mentioned this, then I'll ask everyone to go back and gather the herbs. Oh, right, there's no need to give me the herbs that we've already planted on Tian Mu Peak.

"Hahaha!" Everyone roared with laughter.

A few disciples of the Pill Division said loudly, "Junior Brother Ren, don't worry. Your Grass Division has lost many herbs to our Pill Division over the years. Let's not talk about ten years old herbs, we even have many twenty or thirty years old herbs. I'm just afraid that you won't have enough pills."

"Senior Brother's words are correct. Exchanging herbs for pills is a losing trade for me. The exchange rate will still be decided by me. Of course, it will not exceed the previous exchange rate. I'll ask Senior Brother Bai Huan and Senior Brother Qiu Wei Cheng to help me settle this. Oh, right, although I've won many pills this time, there are also many Senior Brothers who want to exchange for herbs. This is not an easy matter to settle."

At this point, Zhang Xiaohua scratched his head. Some of the smarter disciples couldn't help but look around cautiously when they heard this. They hurriedly slipped away. Just as a few of them left, the people behind them immediately realized what was going on and ran after them. Their escape became a secret that everyone knew. Who would want to waste their time here with you?

This was the first time that Tian Mu Peak had encountered such a good deal of exchanging medicinal herbs for pills. Who knew if there would be another shop like this in the future?

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xiaohua was dumbfounded. He had underestimated the use of pills. Pills were like gold and silver in Chuan Xiang Cult. But what about herbs?

Well, it was just medicinal herbs. But Tian Mu Peak, or perhaps Zhuan Xiang Cult, was not lacking in medicinal herbs. Zhang Xiaohua was exchanging medicinal herbs for medicinal herbs. It was the same as exchanging gold and silver for straw in the mortal world. Who wouldn't be willing?

Chen Feng and Wu Zhouxu looked at the disciples who had scattered and couldn't help but smile bitterly. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Zhang Xiaohua didn't have any pills that caught their eye, even they would want to exchange for herbs. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of the situation?

Chen Feng looked at the sky and smiled, "Little Brother, why aren't you going back?

There will be many disciples looking for you in a while. You have to make arrangements. "

Zhang Xiaohua scratched his head and said, "I didn't think that these senior brothers would be so enthusiastic. It seems that the door to the small courtyard can't be maintained."

"Hahaha," Wu Zhouxu also laughed heartily. He was the biggest loser of this bet, and had been in a rather gloomy mood. Now, Zhang Xiaohua's witty words had made him happy. Thus, he tugged on Chen Fengxiao's sleeve and said, "Let's go, Head Master Chen. Let's go hold the line for Junior Brother Ren. Otherwise, although his martial arts are powerful, with this group of Junior Brothers swarming him, even if Junior Brother Ren had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to handle it all."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, "That's what I was thinking. Let's go and help him."

Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed and cupped his hands, "Many thanks to the two Heads."

Wu Zhouxu said, "It's no problem. Even though we are part of the Pill and Grass Divisions in name, we are all disciples of Tuo Dan Hall."

Saying this, Qiu Wei Cheng led the way and the four of them returned to the small courtyard where Zhang Xiaohua was temporarily staying.

Sure enough, after a short while, all the disciples swarmed in, surrounding the small door of the small courtyard so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. Fortunately, there were two First Masters keeping watch, so there was no trouble. All the disciples lined up in a long line and entered one by one. In the courtyard, Bai Huan was holding the record of the bet. Based on the names of the disciples in the line, she compared the pills in the record with the medicinal herbs in her hands. At the beginning, Zhang Xiaohua was still standing there, opening the jade boxes one by one to take a look. However, later on, he realized that the disciples were much more familiar with exchanging medicinal herbs for pills. The medicinal herbs and the pills they took were very appropriate. Therefore, other than the ones that were especially old or unknown, he only took a look at them.

However, even so, the queue was still very long. Later, under Chen Fengxiao's suggestion, among the disciples who had cashed in their bets, more than a dozen older and steady disciples were found. They also took out a few records from Bai Huan's hands and helped to cash in their bets.

The crowd gathered firewood and worked until the night, when the full moon hung high in the sky. Only then did they cash in all the bets that the disciples owed Zhang Xiaohua. At this time, in the small courtyard, there was already a small mountain of jade boxes. Even Chen Fengxiao and Wu Zhouxu were surprised to see this.

When the last disciple handed over the jade box, Bai Huan crossed off the disciple's name from the paper. Only then did he let out a long sigh. Looking at the herbs in the jade box, he placed them in a pile of jade boxes. He raised his head and said to Zhang Xiaohua who was smiling to the side, "Junior Brother Ren, this pile of herbs are all ten years old. I can't differentiate the specific herbs. You can sort them out yourself in the future."

Then he pointed to the other two piles and said, "These are twenty to thirty years old. And the small pile at the side is forty years old and unknown herbs. You can take a look."
