A powerful blow hit the steward's face hard.
But the strange thing is that the steward, who suffered a heavy blow, remained motionless and maintained his original intimidating posture. Only half of his cheeks were instantly red and swollen.
Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, their faces full of surprise and suspicion, they all held their breath and did not dare to whisper anymore.
At this moment, all the disciples finally realized something was wrong!
An ordinary person would stagger and dodge back after receiving such a heavy slap.
But the steward stood stiffly on the spot, his posture unchanged at all, like a stiff stone statue. Even the ferocious expression on his face did not change, and his eyes were full of humiliation.
Zhou Qi pretended to be angry, his eyes were slightly cold, and he raised his hand again. "What? Senior brother is still so stubborn, do you really have no repentance?"
Snap!
The second slap fell again, with more force than before.
Two crisp sounds echoed in the silent side hall one after another, extremely harsh.
Clear fingerprints instantly appeared on the steward's already red and swollen cheeks, and the corners of his mouth were split and bloodshot, filling his mouth with fishy sweetness.
He was still unable to move or make a sound, and the anger on his face remained. However, two big cocks came at him one after another, and his eyes became red uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, my eyes quickly filled with tears, and they couldn't help but drip down.
cried.
This great monk, who had practiced Buddhism for more than 200 years, had a hard fight with two people in full view of the public. He couldn't help being humiliated and cried.
At this time, the steward was crying inside.
I'm convinced! I'm completely convinced when I step on a horse!
Let me talk! Let me move!
Zhou Qi looked at the look in his eyes that was on the verge of collapse, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, planning to slap him a few more times, and at the same time let the victim Yang Gu step forward to vent his anger.
At this moment, the whole hall suddenly shook slightly. Zhou Qi was shaken and quickly looked in the direction of the main hall.
At the same time, a gentle voice with a hint of majesty quickly resounded from the direction of the main hall to the side hall:
"Master Nephew Zhou has gained quite a lot from his Four Directions Secret Realm trip!"
Hearing the sound, Zhou Qi suddenly paused, immediately restrained all the aura around his body, removed his defensive movements, and bowed his hands respectfully towards the direction of the main hall:
"Uncle Wen won the prize, but it's just a little fortuitous opportunity, a small gain."
The voice is exactly Xuanye Peak Wen Ruhe.
The voice in the void slowly sounded again:
"Haha, I know you kid can't stand the grievance. Elder Liu's hands and feet are indeed dirty, but he is my Xuanye Peak elder after all. How about leaving it to me to deal with it personally?"
"I hope my little friend can give me face by betraying me!"
Zhou Qi Hearing this, he smiled calmly, nodded and said, "What did uncle say? Senior brother Liu is just a little confused. How could his hands and feet be unclean? I will withdraw my suppression immediately."
As soon as the voice fell, Zhou Qi's mind moved, and the mental pressure that enveloped Manager Liu Sea of Consciousness was removed.
The invisible confinement dissipates instantly!
The next second, Manager Liu, who had been standing still, went limp, as if all his strength had been taken away, his legs paralyzed, and he fell heavily to the ground.
He was panting heavily, cold sweat soaked through his clothes, and his whole body was shaking as if he had escaped from death. His eyes were full of fear and panic, and he no longer had the slightest bit of arrogance and domineeringness before.
The voice of the void spread again, clearly conveying the order, "Liu Siyuan! Receive the punishment at the entrance of the palace, kneel until I Peak Master approves and then get up!"
When the steward heard this, he quickly stood up and bowed respectfully, regardless of his breathing. "Liu Siyuan takes the order!"
After saying that, he no longer cared about his face and rushed straight to the door.
Zhou Qi looked at this man without saying anything. This guy's crime is not worthy of death, but there is no need to lose Wen Ruhe's face.
"Master Nephew Zhou, Yang Gu, and all the disciples who are waiting for the exchange, please move to the main hall. I will personally supervise the exchange!"
"Yes!"
Zhou Qi promised in a deep voice, and then his mind moved slightly, Spiritual Power rolled up, and all the 863 Profound Heart Violet Orchid plants piled up on the table rose into the air, turned into a blue stream of light, and were collected into Storage Pendant.
After doing all this, he nodded towards Yang Gu, then took the lead and strode towards the main hall of Xuanye Peak.
Yang Gu and the other disciples who were waiting to redeem quickly came to their senses, and followed closely behind them, a large group of people walked toward the main hall.
The air is filled with the faint fragrance of red pepper.
Standing at the entrance of the hall was a gatekeeper boy with delicate features. When he saw Zhou Qi and his entourage approaching, he had already stood in advance and bowed slightly to indicate.
"Brothers, follow me."
The boy spoke softly, turned around and led everyone into the grand and solemn main hall.
The hall was empty.
"Brothers, please wait here for now. Someone will come to verify the spiritual herbs and redeem the elixirs later."
The boy turned sideways and raised his hands to Yang Gu and the others, then looked at the leader Zhou Qi, and his tone became more and more respectful. "Senior Brother Zhou, if Peak Master Wen invites you, please follow me to the back hall."
Zhou Qi nodded slightly, with a calm expression.
Then he followed the gatekeeper, passed through the side door of the main hall, and walked into the winding corridor at the back.
There are several quiet rooms and medicine rooms arranged on both sides of the corridor. The Spiritual Qi becomes more and more intense. The deeper you go, the scorching Fire Element Spiritual Power becomes clearer. The warmth that hits your face is accompanied by a strong medicinal fragrance, which makes people feel slightly astringent.
After twisting and turning through several courtyards, a simple and elegant independent Alchemy Chamber comes into view.
Alchemy Chamber The stone door was tightly closed, and wisps of crimson Spiritual Power spilled out along the cracks in the door, making the surrounding air feel slightly hot.
The boy stopped in front of the door, bowed to Zhou Qi and said, "Senior brother, Peak Master Wen is refining elixirs in the house. I have specifically told you that you can enter on your own without being informed."
"Thank you, junior brother."
Zhou Qi nodded slightly, and when the boy turned around and retreated, he raised his hand and gently pushed open the Alchemy Chamber stone door.
The stone door opened and closed, and a more violent and scorching Fire Element Spiritual Power rushed towards my face, wrapped in the mellow red fragrance.
The layout of this Alchemy Chamber is not spacious, and it is much smaller than the red-haired old woman's alchemy room he had seen before, but the Spiritual Qi is not weak at all in its condensation.
The red Spiritual Power circulating throughout the room is so hot and dazzling that it would be difficult for ordinary monks to even open their eyes when they step into this place.
In the center of Alchemy Chamber, a simple bronze Pill Furnace that is more than ten feet high stands firmly. The furnace body is engraved with dense High Antiquity elixir patterns. Roads of red spiritual light flow back and forth, and curls of elixir mist rise from the furnace mouth, lingering in the air.
Pill Furnace On one side, a short, fat old man with a white beard was sitting on the futon.
Exactly Xuanye Peak Master, Wen Ruhe.
The moment Zhou Qi pushed the door and stepped in, Wen Ruhe's eyelids moved slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Coming."
He did not stop his movements, his eyes swept over lightly, and his tone was filled with emotion and helplessness:
"You kid, this trip to the Four Directions Secret Realm has caused quite a stir. No one in the entire sect knows your name Zhou Qi."
