Chapter 011 – Zhang Hu

“Weasel?” Wang Lin was stunned, the first thing that came to his mind was the yellow-clothed youth who had mocked him earlier, thinking that he was more in line with this name, but in his heart, he didn’t know if the other party was talking about him or not.

“Huh? You didn’t see him? It’s the man who is responsible for arranging the work of the registered disciples, he is and is a registered disciple, but has already obtained the qualification to cultivate the Immortal Laws, dressed in yellow, his looks are not a good person at a glance, just like a wolf cub, we all privately call him that.” Zhang Hu sipped his water and gritted his teeth as he explained.

Wang Lin ate a mouthful of sweet potatoes and said, “I know who you’re talking about, I saw him today and said to me that from tomorrow onwards, he will pick a full ten tanks of water every day or else he won’t have any food to eat.”

Zhang Hu was dumbfounded, staring at Wang Lin for a long time, and suddenly asked, “Dude, did you have a grudge against him before?”

Wang Lin shook his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zhang Hu looked at Wang Lin with a pitiful gaze and asked, “Wang Lin, do you think that the vat that holds water is as big as the one we use at home?” Saying this, he even gestured with his hand.

A bad feeling rose in Wang Lin’s heart and he nodded.

Zhang Hu smiled bitterly and said, “You must have offended the weasel, the vat he said, is about the same size as this house of ours, the whole ten tanks of water …… Wang Lin, these sweet potatoes I don t want it, you keep it, I am about to you can eat a meal in four or five days is good. You are new, the few places in the mountain that produce wild fruits are occupied by others, only the old man can go to pick a few, I would rather eat my wild fruits tomorrow.” After saying this, he placed the remaining few pieces of sweet potatoes on the table, sighed, and reclined on the bed to sleep.

A hint of evil fire rose up in Wang Lin’s heart, he gritted his teeth, thought of his parents’ gaze full of expectations, forced the fire down, held his stomach and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day before dawn, he rose from the bed, Zhang Hu was still snoring, Wang Lin changed into gray clothes and hurriedly walked towards the sundries, the moment he came to this place, the sun gradually appeared from the east, the yellow-clothed youth pushed open the door of the room, squinted his eyes at Wang Lin, and said in a strange tone of yin and yang, “Still punctual, go in and get a bucket of water, go out along the east door, there’s a spring between the mountains, go there to pick up water. ”

After saying that, he did not pay attention to Wang Lin, sat on the ground with his knees crossed, slowly exhaling to the sunrise, a trace of faint white gas dispersed from between his nostrils, like two white dragons tumbling.

Wang Lin’s eyes showed envy, he walked into the room and looked around, and finally saw the ten huge water tanks behind one of the doors, with a bitter smile, he picked up the two buckets and walked towards the east door.

After walking a long way, he came to the spring that the other party said, the scenery here is quite beautiful, the sound of water rattling, like heavenly music permeating the hearts of the people.

Wang Lin had no time to look at this beautiful scenery, filled the bucket and hurriedly picked it up and walked towards the mountain.

It was not until dusk that he poured a full bucket, and if he had not had sweet potatoes to fill his stomach at noon, he would not have had the strength to carry out the rest of the work. Nonetheless, his legs and arms were now sore and numb, and pain was unbearable when he exerted himself.

He pondered for a little while, carrying half a bucket of water to find an unoccupied place, cautiously observing around to determine that no one, he took out the stone bead from his bosom, placed it in the bucket and shook it a bit, after a while he fished out the bead and put it away, brokered out the bucket of water and drank it, a hint of warmth appeared in his stomach, and the soreness of the muscles of the whole body slowly dissipated.

Although the effect was not as good as dew, but Wang Lin was extremely excited, he touched his chest where he put the stone beads, and once again decided that he must not let anyone know that he had this treasure!

After drinking all of the half bucket of water, his muscles were no longer sore and he was refreshed and immediately continued his work of picking water.

On this day, after he had filled one and a half tanks and drank half a bucket of spring water soaked with the mysterious beads, he returned to his residence with a feigned look of exhaustion for fear that others would suspect him.

Not long after, Zhang Hu came back, his face was still the same overworked expression, the two of them talked for a few sentences, Zhang Hu hesitated for half a day, swallowed and asked for two pieces of sweet potatoes, after eating them, he fell on the bed and huffed and puffed.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Lin had been in the Hengyue Sect for a month.

Wang Lin now knows that Zhang Hu’s job is to cut firewood, daily to cut enough wood to eat, from the time he became a registered disciple of the Heng Yue sect, has been cutting firewood, has been three years, three years ago, he often three or four days to eat a meal, rely on the water to fill up the stomach, now he has shortened the time, two days to eat a meal.

According to him, a registered disciple has to do chores for ten years, so that he can’t pull off three meals a day, and only if he fulfills both requirements can he be taught some basic immortal techniques.

The inner disciples were different from them, they had their own masters, they didn’t have to do any chores, they had their own separate rooms, and their main job was to cultivate.

Other than that, there was another kind of person, between the inner disciples and the named disciples, that is, like Wang Hao who became someone’s child, in fact, the so-called child was, to put it bluntly, a servant.

This kind of people do not need to do chores, and can also cultivate some low-level immortal law, they only need to complete the master’s account of the work can be, but this kind of people tend to talent are very general, life will not have too much interest, can only do a lifetime of servants.

The so-called natural talent, Wang Lin also understood the general from Zhang Hu, simply put, natural talent is the spiritual root, each person has more or less have some in the body. However, the focus is on the amount of spiritual roots, sufficient spiritual roots, the same immortal law if a year can be practiced, then the lack of spiritual roots, may need ten years, or even a hundred years.

Human life is limited, mediocre qualifications often do not have a lot of development in their lives, which is why cultivation sects accept disciples with the first importance of spiritual roots.

This month, Wang Lin drank a lot of spring water soaked with mysterious beads every day when he picked water, his body was getting stronger and stronger as if he had inexhaustible strength, from the beginning when he picked up ten tanks of water in six days, now he could do it in only three days.

However, in order not to be suspected, he got up every day before the sun came out, and walked the mountain paths with the water bucket unhurriedly, so that in the eyes of others, despite being surprised that he could finish the work in three days, most of them pushed these to the above of his getting up early and working hard.
