On the other side, Ji Rong was walking on the road with a sad look on his face.
Damn, things have really been going wrong lately.
First, the conflicts at home became more and more intense.
In addition to Guier, the other wives and children in the family also gradually developed symptoms of unresponsiveness and confusion.
And it was then that he realized that his symptoms were the same as theirs, and that the whole family was actually sick.
He and his family investigated and found no problems with the food and water sources.
I went to the sect's uncle who was a skilled doctor to see a doctor, but he didn't see anything. The whole family was in good health both physically and mentally.
They didn't find any evil beings, nor could they find anyone who did anything to harm them.
This is strange. Where did this disease come from?
Just three days ago, the second lady speculated that the disease was transmitted to them by Guier.
Because he was the first to get the disease from the beginning, and others were fine at that time.
However, when she said this in public, the third lady immediately became angry, and the two parties had a big quarrel.
The eldest lady and several other children also joined in, blaming the third lady, and also felt that the disease was transmitted by Guier.
In the end, there was even a fight, and the furniture in the house was beaten to pieces.
Even when he was at home, he couldn't avoid scolding each other, and the days really got worse and worse.
And he has been confused frequently in the sect recently and made all kinds of low-level mistakes.
Especially yesterday, there was another big commotion in the Stone Forest.
After a ground collapsed, a group of evil spirits emerged. Their strength was not low, and they killed several guardian disciples and hard workers.
Some of the peons who had committed crimes took advantage of the chaos and escaped, including Zhou Junyi.
The boy seemed to be possessed by a powerful spirit. His strength increased dramatically, and he was wounded when he escaped.
He still has a large rotten wound on his right shoulder. Even after taking pills, it has not improved much and can only be treated slowly.
The elders of the outer sect have long disliked him recently. After what happened last night, they even scolded him.
If he hadn't begged with tears and snot in his nose, he would have done his job as an outer sect protector.
As for himself, his cultivation has not made any progress.
After all, his brain was confused and his understanding was greatly affected, so he was unable to break through to the ninth level of Qi training.
Now he really feels that life is extremely difficult and there is no hope in life.
At this time, he had arrived near the courtyard of Chu Ming's family.
Somehow, he was a little reluctant to go to Chu Ming's house now.
In the past, he was so prosperous that he felt windy when he walked.
And Chu Ming is just an insignificant little spiritual farmer, and he has to smile when he accepts his spiritual rice.
However, now that he is in such a miserable state, Chu Ming is gradually gaining momentum, and the situation of the two of them has been reversed.
By the way, Chu Ming won’t have another breakthrough, right?
If that was the case, he would have to find a way to resolve the conflict with Chu Ming, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Walking outside the gate of Chu Ming's house, Ji Rong looked at Chu Ming who was banging the iron, and couldn't help but feel in a trance.
At this time, Chu Ming was tall and powerful, with strong muscles, handsome and tough appearance, and extraordinary bearing.
It is really far removed from the previous image of a middle-aged spiritual farmer with a stooped figure and dark skin.
In just a few months, I really didn't expect that Chu Ming would change so much.
Chu Ming raised his head slightly and saw Ji Rong outside the door.
He walked over with a smile, "Oh, Senior Brother Ji is here?"
"Why are you here so early today? I haven't even finished my spiritual rice yet."
As Chu Ming continued to approach, Ji Rong saw that his eyes were brighter and more energetic.
After he got closer, he sensed it with his spiritual consciousness and found that he had indeed reached the sixth level of Qi training.
Ji Rong took a breath, damn, what kind of muscle did this guy get through? Why did it break through again?
Really a late bloomer?
He was stunned for a while, and then he quickly said with a smile: "Hey, junior brother, you misunderstood, I'm not here to borrow spiritual rice from you."
"Isn't that boy Zhou Junyi gone? No one will share the spiritual rice with me."
"It's enough for me to borrow it from several other spiritual farmers. I don't need to borrow it from you anymore."
"It's not easy for you to practice. How can I keep bothering you?"
Chu Ming smiled to himself, no wonder he came in the morning, it turned out that he didn't intend to accept it.
Of course, it is also possible that he changed his mind in advance because he sensed his own strength.
Chu Ming smiled and said: "Hey, no matter what senior brother says, aren't we all brothers?"
"Besides, I recently practiced the "Sword Forging Technique" you gave me, and I also earned a little bit of spiritual stones, which is enough for my practice."
Ji Rong was secretly shocked. Although the "Sword Forging Technique" is just a general weapon-making method, it is not difficult. Most people can learn it with a little practice and become proficient at it.
But it's not easy to earn spiritual stones, especially since he actually said it was enough. So he must earn at least two to three hundred spiritual stones a month, right?
From this point of view, his sword-making skills are at least at a master level.
This skill alone is enough for him to earn cultivation resources.
Based on his talent, he might be able to enter the inner gate within a few years.
However, there is a possibility that he will never be able to break through the ninth level of Qi training in his lifetime. In the future, he will be regarded as a disciple without talent and will no longer be protected by the sect.
Then he will look for an opportunity to settle accounts with himself and take revenge...
Thinking of this, Ji Rong shuddered and must quickly ease the relationship!
"Oh, my junior brother is really versatile. He can even learn the art of sword-making."
"Hey, you seem to have made a breakthrough again, the sixth level of Qi training?"
"Good guy, junior brother, your talent is probably not comparable to that of some of the inner disciples."
"I think in a few years, you will be qualified to enter the inner sect to practice. Senior brother, I may fall behind you."
"By the way, you probably don't have many acquaintances in your inner circle. How about I introduce you to a senior brother in advance?"
Ji Rong acted enthusiastic, like a helpful big brother.
Chu Ming was disdainful and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. I haven't decided yet whether I can join the inner sect."
"By the way, let's not talk about anything else. Did you bring the secret book I asked you to find for me last time?"
His words were a little less polite, but Ji Rong said with a smile: "Of course I brought him. I will certainly keep in mind what my junior brother asked me to do."
As he spoke, he took out a large, delicate wooden box from the storage ring. It looked heavy, but he lifted it easily.
After opening it, more than a hundred secret books were neatly stacked inside, and each secret book was clean and brand new.
This attitude is really different from when I used sacks to carry secret books.
Chu Ming sneered in his heart and saw that Ji Rong was interested in showing kindness to him.
But is it useful? He wouldn't think that the hatred between the two could be resolved so easily, would he?
Chu Ming took the box, put it on the ground, and rummaged through the secret book.
As he watched, his brows gradually wrinkled.
"Tsk, alas..."
Seeing Chu Ming's dissatisfied look, Ji Rong felt inexplicably nervous for some reason.
After reacting, he felt a little embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, he who was once so majestic would fall to this level.
Even if you want to please a spiritual farmer, you are still afraid that the other party will be dissatisfied.
Shame on you...
He pretended to be calm and asked: "Hey, what's wrong, junior brother, didn't you find a suitable secret book?"
