"What did you do to me?" Zhong Ming's face turned pale when he felt his physical condition. He had no power to resist. After his spiritual power was sucked dry, he had no strength at all. It was difficult to stand up and escape.

"You can't live if you commit suicide. Senior brother, since you are seeking death, then I, the junior brother, can only give you a trip." Zhang Chaozong had a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold.

"No, you can't kill me." Zhong Ming used his hands and feet in panic and retreated repeatedly.

"Can't kill you? Why can't you? Today, I want to kill you. Who can stop you?" Zhang Chaozong said viciously. He is not a bloodthirsty person, but he is definitely not a good old man who can bully him.

"Junior brother, please spare my life for the sake of my fellow disciples. I am willing to repay you as a cow or a horse." Zhong Ming saw Zhang Chaozong approaching step by step, and was so scared that he fell to the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

When Zhang Chaozong saw Zhong Ming's humble appearance, he was even more disdainful. At this time, the senior brother could not see the situation clearly, which was really sad.

"If I don't have magical skills and I'm going to be with you today, can you spare my life?" Zhang Chaozong looked at Zhong Ming indifferently and asked.

"This..." Zhong Ming didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhang Chaozong took a step forward, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and inserted it into Zhong Ming's chest with a "scream".

"Ah!" Zhong Ming screamed, grabbed the dagger with both hands tightly, his eyes wide open, full of unwillingness. But soon, his eyes spread out and quickly turned dead gray, his head drooped and then silent.

Zhang Chaozong let go of Zhong Ming, sat on the ground, and gasped for a few breaths. Although he finally killed Zhong Ming today, he put a huge pressure on him. Before, Zhang Chaozong didn't know whether the Beiming Divine Art was really useful, nor did he know whether he could deal with Zhong Ming with this Divine Art. It can be said that he was gambling with his life today. If he won the gambling, everything would be fine, but if he lost the gambling, everything would be over. Fortunately, he won the gambling, but there were still sequelae, and he was almost exhausted.

After taking a little rest, Zhang Chaozong felt that he was getting better, so he got up and dug a hole on the ground with a medicine hoe, buried Zhong Ming, and then returned to the medicine garden with the things he had plundered from the other party.

After Zhang Chaozong returned to the medicine garden, he couldn't wait to take out Zhong Ming's storage bag and look through the things in it. Although he had not been with Zhong Ming for a long time, Zhang Chaozong still had some understanding of this senior brother. He knew that Zhong Ming was born in a small cultivation family and still had some good things on him.

Sure enough, Zhang Chaozong really found some good things from Zhong Ming's storage bag. The most expensive ones were two magic weapons. One was a bell-shaped magic weapon, and the three big characters Baohua Bell were engraved on the body. Although this magic weapon was just the lowest mortal weapon among the magic weapons, Zhang Chaozong was still very satisfied. This Baohua Bell is a good treasure that can attack and defend. The other magic weapon is a flying magic weapon.

In addition to two magic weapons, Zhang Chaozong also took out a bottle of elixirs and several spirit stones in Zhong Ming's storage bag. When he opened the jade bottle containing the elixir, the room was filled with fragrance, but Zhang Chaozong did not recognize what kind of elixir was. As for those spirit stones, although they were only low-grade spirit stones, it was also a considerable fortune for a poor and jingling young monk like Zhang Chaozong.

However, although there are good things like storage bags and magic weapons, Zhang Chaozong is not ready to carry these things with him for the time being. The reason is nothing but for safety. Zhang Chaozong knew that after Zhong Ming disappeared, the Huo Daoist would definitely come to investigate. Zhong Ming was always with the Huo Daoist. I believe that whether it was Zhong Ming's storage bag or Zhong Ming's magic weapons, the Huo Daoist would recognize them. If he rashly carried these things on his body and was discovered by the Huo Daoist, he might immediately have a murder.

Therefore, Zhang Chaozong dug a deep hole in the corner of the medicine garden hut, put the storage bag in it and buried it, hoping to wait for the Huo Daoist to investigate before taking it out and use it. Sure enough, as Zhang Chaozong expected, Huo Daoist came to the medicine garden within a few days. Zhang Chaozong was still relatively calm. After all, in the eyes of others, he did not have the ability to kill Zhong Ming, so he would not doubt him.

"Chaozong, I have been busy refining elixirs for my master during this period and have not paid attention to your cultivation. How is your cultivation progress?" The Huo Dao Ren did not mention Zhong Ming as soon as he came up, but paid attention to Zhang Chaozong's cultivation.

Zhang Chaozong was very clear in his heart. The Huo Dao Ren was just acting, not really caring about his cultivation progress. This time, he must have come for Zhong Ming. However, the other party might feel that he didn't care enough for him during this period, so he pretended to care about him and acted like a master. Overall, Zhang Chaozong neither respected nor disgusted the Huo Dao Ren. The reason for disrespect was that he saw the tragic consequences of other medicine-testing boys and knew that the Huo Dao Ren was definitely not a good person. The reason for not being disgusted was that the other party made him a cultivator.

"Reply to Master, my cultivation is going well." Zhang Chaozong bowed and replied.

"Yeah, it's good to go well." The Fire Taoist had already seen that Zhang Chaozong's cultivation had almost no improvement, so he had a very flexible understanding of this smoothness. He felt that as long as he was not obsessed with it, it would be smooth. As for entering the country, he didn't think that Zhang Chaozong could make any progress.

The master and apprentice chatted for a few words, and the Huo Dao Ren shifted the topic to Zhong Ming.

"Chaozong, have you ever seen your Senior Brother Zhong during this period?" asked Huo Dao Ren.

When Zhang Chaozong saw the Huo Taoist talking about the main topic, he thought to himself: "This old mao is indeed here for Zhong Ming. It seems that he really attaches great importance to Zhong Ming. If I die, I am afraid this old guy won't even ask a question."

"Senior Brother Zhong? No, I have never seen my senior brother since I came to the Medicine Garden." Zhang Chaozong's eyes were full of confusion, pretending to be like that.

"Well, I understand. I have a step ahead of time for my master. You should practice hard." The Huo Dao Ren really didn't know Zhang Chaozong and didn't want to waste time here.

In fact, the reason why he came to Zhang Chaozong was just a try and he didn't have much hope. As for doubting Zhang Chaozong, it was even more impossible. The Fire Taoist did not think that Zhang Chaozong could kill Zhong Ming.

"Give me a gift to Master." Zhang Chaozong sent the Huo Daoist out of the medicine garden.

When the Huo Daoist left, Zhang Chaozong breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Huo Daoist did not doubt him just now, he was guilty of being a thief. Zhang Chaozong was still a little scared just now, for fear that the Huo Daoist would see any flaws. Fortunately, after this investigation, the Huo Daoist should not come to the Medicine Garden in a short time. In this way, Zhang Chaozong could calm down and practice hard, without worrying about being disturbed.
