Shadow Concealment Art's Mirror Force practice is very difficult, which is why Qian Jin has only achieved a small success after practicing for so many years.
Gu Sheng has been practicing for a while and has gradually figured out some tricks. Of course, all this is due to the panel and has little to do with Gu Sheng's understanding.
Cultivation lasted no time. Gu Sheng, who was immersed in practice, had no awareness of the passage of time. He had not finished practicing until the afternoon of the next day.
Fire Bamboo Forest
At this time, the sun has begun to set, and most of the handyman disciples have completed their tasks. Only a few slow workers are still finishing their work. One of them is sweating profusely and working very efficiently. He is Liu Yiming.
At this time, he was taking care of the area that Gu Sheng was responsible for. At this moment, a man wearing Saint Pill Sect uniform and holding a small book in his hand came over arrogantly.
The man was much older than Liu Yiming, about thirty years old, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, only a handful of pitiful hair on his head, and large red spots everywhere else.
He is Shi Lezhi, the manager of the handyman disciples.
Shi Lezhi's cultivation level is not high, but Copper Bone Realm. Logically speaking, with his qualifications, it is impossible for him to become Saint Pill Sect's disciple, but he has a good father.
Shi Lezhi's father is a steward of Spirit Pill Peak's outer door.
Shi Lezhi's father also knew that it was impossible for his son to become a formal disciple with his talent, so he used elixirs to force Shi Lezhi into the Copper Bone Realm, and then found some connections to give Shi Lezhi such a idle position in the sect.
The job in this position is very easy, just check the work of the handyman disciples every once in a while, and then deliver the fire bamboo to Spirit Pill Peak at a fixed time.
The salary of this position does not have any training resources, but it only provides one thousand taels of silver per month. Shi Lezhi also knows his talent, so he simply doesn't work hard to practice, and often spends time in Saint Pill City's major brothels.
The daily expenses were huge, and his salary alone was not enough to support his entertainment, so he would often use the convenience of work to find some unfounded charges to blackmail his disciples.
The servant disciples dared not speak out about this, and they hated him extremely in their hearts. They all called him Shi Papi behind his back!
After seeing Shi Lezhi, the handyman disciples who had finished their work and were resting immediately stood up and pretended to be working.
Shi Lezhi walked to the front of a piece of fire bamboo and pretended to inspect it before his expression became serious.
"Who is in charge of this?"
A person from the Jade Skin stage world hurriedly nodded to Shi Lezhi and said, "Master Shi, I am responsible for this! I have always been diligent in my work, and I have never made any mistakes. You know that, right?"
As he spoke, he took out two silver ingots and stuffed them into Shi Lezhi's hands.
Shi Lezhi often blackmails these handyman disciples. He is familiar with this process. After feeling the size of the ingot, he knows that there are fifty taels here! He put the ingot into the cloth bag on his waist and said with a smile, "Yeah! Yes, you are very careful in your work, do your best!"
With that said, he walked towards the next area.
The handyman disciples can only get 300 taels of salary every month after working so hard. However, Shi Lezhi has to come to check twice a month, and each time is 50 taels. Although it hurts, they have no other choice. Who said Shi Lezhi has a good father?
There are more than fifty handyman disciples, and the sum of fifty taels for this person is not a small sum.
These handyman disciples were all used to this. This process went by very quickly. Shi Lezhi soon arrived at the area that Liu Yiming was responsible for. When Shi Lezhi didn't see anyone, he immediately raised his voice and shouted, "Who is in charge of this? Where are the people?"
At this time, Liu Yiming had just finished taking care of the area that Gu Sheng was responsible for. He hurried over and took out a one hundred tael silver note and stuffed it into Shi Lezhi's hand and said with a smile, "Master Shi, I am responsible for this area! You know that I work and I have never made any mistakes. In addition, I also helped take care of Junior Brother Gu's area."
Shi Lezhi glanced at the banknote in his hand and smiled, "Oh, you are so energetic. Are you helping others with work?"
Shi Lezhi put the banknotes away, walked to the area that Gu Sheng was responsible for, and sneered, "Oh, you're here just to show off? Didn't you know that today is the day for my inspection? Even if no one comes to see me, you don't take me seriously!"
Liu Yiming had a bad premonition after hearing this, and hurriedly said with a smile, "Master Shi, he is just a little uncomfortable today. He didn't mean it. You see, he also knows the rules, just go around him this time." Liu Yiming patted the money bag on Shi Lezhi's waist to emphasize that Gu Sheng also gave money.
Shi Lezhi is not a fool. The time of these handyman disciples is precious. Basically, they will seize the time to practice after finishing their work. How could Gu Sheng, a newcomer who has no friendship with Liu Yiming, help Gu Sheng with his work for no reason? There must be an exchange of interests!
Shi Lezhi immediately pretended to be furious and slapped Liu Yiming on the face. The slap was so hard that blood flowed from Liu Yiming's nose and mouth.
"I'm afraid you're just taking money from him when you speak for him like this! Hehe, the sect asked you to take care of the fire bamboos to train you, but he actually asked you to do it for him. If the people above find out, why don't they accuse me of being responsible for my work?"
Shi Lezhi shouted at Liu Yiming, "Where is he now? Let him come to see me!"
Liu Yiming was bleeding non-stop at this time. When he saw the anger on Shi Lezhi's face, he was a little scared and did not dare to continue talking. He could only endure the pain and come to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng locked the door at this time and was practicing in the room.
Liu Yiming After knocking for a while and seeing no movement, he increased the force and shouted, "Senior Brother Gu, are you there? Senior Brother Gu?"
Gu Sheng, who was practicing, heard Liu Yiming's voice and hurriedly ended his practice and opened the door.
After seeing the tragic situation of Liu Yiming, Gu Sheng was a little surprised. "What did you do? Were you surrounded and beaten?"
Among the handyman disciples, Liu Yiming's cultivation level is already in the first echelon. Logically speaking, no one should be able to beat him into this state.
"Come in quickly and tell me why you were beaten."
Gu Sheng thought Liu Yiming came to him for help, so he pulled him into the house to find out the cause and effect.
Liu Yiming covered his nose and did not enter the room, and said with an anxious expression, "Senior Brother Gu, the person in charge of our handyman disciples came to inspect the work. When he saw that you were not here, he used this as an excuse to ask you to see him. This person is just a Zhou Papi. Everything is for money. Just give him a little bit and it will be done."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, "Is this why you got beaten?"
Liu Yiming nodded and admitted, Gu Sheng felt a flash of anger in his heart.
"By the way, Senior Brother Gu, you're going to pretend to be sick soon. Don't let him know that I'm working for you because I took your money, otherwise he'll have to squeeze both of us dry!"
Gu Sheng's face was full of coldness at this time. He snorted coldly and pulled Liu Yiming out of the wooden house, "Let's go, take me to see him!"
Soon, the two came to Fire Bamboo Forest.
Shi Lezhi saw Gu Sheng coming and sneered, "Don't you look quite healthy? You are so brave, you dare to pretend to be sick! Don't you know that today is the day when I come to inspect? A newcomer dares not to come to see me, does it mean you don't take me seriously?"
Gu Sheng glanced at him with a cold face and asked, "See you? The work assigned to me by the sect has been completed. What do you do to see me?"
A playful smile appeared on Shi Lezhi's face, "Did you complete that work? He did it for you! Why, I didn't see that you are still a rich man? You can still afford to hire people to do the work. Let me tell you, this is not feasible here! Unless..."
As he spoke, Shi Lezhi patted the money bag on his waist, and the silver inside swayed and made a clicking sound. His intention was very obvious, which was to ask Gu Sheng to pay him a sum of money.
Gu Sheng Although he doesn't care about the hundreds or hundreds of taels, he doesn't like the feeling of being blackmailed! And this man even hit Liu Yiming for this, which made him even angrier!
Yesterday, Gu Sheng and Mo Buwen talked a lot with him on the way back. Mo Buwen told him that fighting within the sect was not prohibited, as long as no lives were lost.
Although Lu Junyi asked him to start as a handyman disciple, Gu Sheng guessed from his behavior when he saw the Ge Qing token that if he really committed a crime, Lu Junyi would definitely protect him!
Therefore, he did not take Shi Lezhi seriously!
Gu Sheng took out a one hundred tael silver note and waved it in front of Shi Lezhi: "Want this?"
Shi Lezhi saw that the look on Yinqiao's face softened a lot, and he even smiled lightly and said, "If you were sensible, this matter would be easier to handle!"
However, just as he reached out to take it, Gu Sheng stuffed the banknote into Liu Yiming's hand. "This is the medical expenses Master Shi gave you. Why don't you thank Master Shi quickly?"
Both Liu Yiming and Shi Lezhi were confused by Gu Sheng's operation.
Shi Lezhi reacted and turned red with anger. "Are you kidding me?"
Gu Sheng smiled and said, "Tricking you? Are you worthy?"
The former handyman disciple was not respectful when he saw Shi Lezhi. Over the years, he was used to being bossy. Seeing that Gu Sheng dared to humiliate him like this, he was so angry that he slapped Gu Sheng in the face. "You have rebelled against you! If I don't deal with you today, you won't be able to tell the difference between the king and the king, right?"
Although Shi Lezhi is also Copper Bone Realm, his cultivation relies heavily on elixirs. In addition, his body has long been hollowed out by his years of sensual life, so his combat power is only slightly better than that of a perfect person Blood Refining Realm.
Gu Sheng grabbed Shi Lezhi's hand and quickly kicked him in the stomach.
Shi Lezhi immediately arched his body into a shrimp shape in pain, clutching his stomach and screaming repeatedly. This is all the result of Gu Sheng deliberately holding back his strength, otherwise if he kicked with all his strength, Shi Lezhi would be disabled even if he did not die.
The disciple who originally wanted to watch the show was stunned for a moment when he saw Gu Sheng actually hit Shi Lezhi.
After coming back to their senses, although they felt secretly happy, they all dispersed in panic. Shi Lezhi's father was more or less a steward, and he was also a superior being to handyman disciples like them. They didn't dare to watch any more, lest they be implicated in the future.
Liu Yiming was also so frightened that his face turned pale and he shouted in his heart that he was finished.
"You! You dare to hit me, you are finished! I will make your life worse than death!"
Shi Lezhi clutched his stomach and roared at Gu Sheng with a ferocious expression.
Liu Yiming also wanted to drag Gu Sheng away and said quickly, "Senior Brother Gu, leave quickly! His father is the steward of Spirit Pill Peak's outer gate. If he is caught, he will definitely torture you! You should run away quickly. As long as you leave the mountain gate, his father will not be able to mobilize much power to catch you for such a small matter!"
Gu Sheng, however, remained motionless and comforted Liu Yiming: "You don't have to be too nervous. The sect has rules. Fighting between people with the same level of cultivation is allowed, as long as no one is killed. His skills are not as good as others, no matter where he goes, I will be justified!"
Liu Yiming has been with the Saint Pill Sect for a while. He naturally knows this rule, but Gu Sheng ignored one. They are not official disciples. There is a level difference between them!
"Hey! Isn't this Shi Lezhi? Why are you lying on the ground rolling around? What did you do today?"
While he was anxious, a joking voice came from the distance.
Following the sound, there was a bright figure in the distance. This person Gu Sheng also knew, officially War God Peak the outer sect sister Lin Miaomiao!
Shi Lezhi is also somewhat famous among the outer disciples of the Saint Pill Sect, and is known as a fun-loving person.
Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but make a joke when he saw this scene.
Shi Lezhi, who was in pain, was immediately happy after seeing Lin Miaomiao, and immediately shouted to Lin Miaomiao, "Senior Sister Lin, please help me catch this murderer!"
Lin Miaomiao walked to Gu Sheng and looked at Gu Sheng, then at Shi Lezhi, looked at Gu Sheng and asked, "What's going on?"
Gu Sheng spread his hands and said, "It's normal for sects to fight, but his skills are inferior to others."
Shi Lezhi immediately became furious when he heard this. "Bah! We are still fighting normally, you are worthy of being a handyman disciple? Do you know who my father is?"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Miaomiao: "Senior Sister Lin! Help me get him quickly. When you go to Spirit Pill Peak for medicine in the future, I will let my father take the lead in arranging it for you!"
Lin Miaomiao is not confused. He knows that Gu Sheng has an extraordinary origin. Although he does not know why First Elder asked him to start as a handyman disciple, this does not mean that he is really the same as other handyman disciples.
Lin Miaomiao squatted down and laughed softly in Shi Lezhi's ear, "Shi Lezhi, have you really lost your mind? Junior Brother Gu is already at the level of the Copper Bone Realm at the age of seventeen. Do you really think he is an ordinary handyman disciple?? By the way, don't you often hang out with core disciple Chen Ke? Why, he didn't tell you that Junior Brother Gu was personally arranged by First Elder? You don't really think that your father can do whatever he wants with his status as an outsider of the Lingdan Sect?"
Shi Lezhi was shocked when he heard this. He just blamed his defeat on himself because he was not good at fighting and his body was drained by alcohol and sex. He never expected that Gu Sheng would be Copper Bone Realm's cultivation level. Of course, it was Gu Sheng's habitual use of breath shooting to hide his aura that led to his misjudgment.
When he looked at Gu Sheng again, he realized that the man in front of him was so young! At this time, Shi Lezhi was horrified, and for a while he did not dare to ask Lin Miaomiao to win Gu Sheng.
Lin Miaomiao stood up and shrugged. "Let's go, it's okay!"
