Hai Mingsheng left the medicine garden carrying a bag of divine soul grass.
"Hey, what is this?" Lin San picked up a white jade plaque from the ground. When he turned it over, it read "Alchemy Room Hai Mingsheng". Lin San's lips curled up slightly: "This Hai Mingsheng is so careless, even he himself I didn’t even know I lost my waist card." As he spoke, Lin San walked out of the medicine garden and chased Hai Mingsheng.
In Qingyue Sect, waist cards are very important. Once lost, you will be punished.
Lin San chased him all the way to the entrance of the alchemy room, but there was no sign of Hai Mingsheng.
"Hai Mingsheng walks very fast," Lin San curled her lips and walked into the door of the alchemy room.
The alchemy room is composed of rows of large rooms, with a small square in the middle and a fountain in the square.
As Lin San walked, he looked around for Hemingsheng.
The alchemy room is not small, so it is still difficult to find someone.
I don't know what happened today, but there was no one in the huge alchemy room. Originally, Lin San wanted to find someone to find out about Hai Mingsheng's whereabouts.
"Pa," a crisp sound suddenly came from the corner in front, followed by a burst of curses.
Lin San was stunned for a moment, then he walked over and turned a corner. There was an almost flat open space in front of him. On the open space stood a group of people, whispering to each other.
"Have your wings become stiff? You don't even dare to listen to me, the manager," a man wearing a white robe and a jade belt around his waist shouted and cursed.
Kneeling at the man's feet was a young man with a pale face. Lin San took a closer look and saw that it was He Mingsheng.
"Manager Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm really not feeling well... You'd better arrange for other disciples to take care of the alchemy furnace..." Hai Mingsheng kept apologizing.
"No, I want you to guard the alchemy furnace today," the man known as Manager Zhang said coldly.
Hai Mingsheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "But my body is really uncomfortable..."
"As long as you are not dead, go and guard the alchemy furnace for me immediately," Manager Zhang said domineeringly.
Hemingsheng opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"Also, if you openly contradict your boss and disobey orders, I will punish you by not being able to eat or sleep for ten days," Manager Zhang shouted loudly.
Hai Mingsheng's expression changed: "If I don't eat or sleep for ten days, I will die..."
"Hmph," Manager Zhang snorted coldly: "I don't care if you die, but you can't eat or sleep for ten days."
Hai Ming was shaking with anger. At this moment, Hai Mingsheng really wanted to stand up and scold Manager Zhang, but in the end, Hai Mingsheng didn't dare.
"Tonghe," Manager Zhang called.
"Here," a fair-skinned young man walked out of the crowd and bowed respectfully to Manager Zhang.
"From today on, you will monitor Hai Mingsheng for me all day long. You cannot let him sleep, let alone eat," Manager Zhang ordered.
"Yes," Tong He responded.
"Manager Zhang, I know I was wrong. I will never dare to contradict you again. Please, please go around me," Hai Mingsheng kept begging for mercy.
Manager Zhang shook his sleeves and said, "Now I know I was wrong. It's too late."
"Manager Zhang..." Hai Mingsheng still wanted to plead.
"If you keep nagging me, I'll punish you by not sleeping or eating for a month," Manager Zhang said in a cold tone.
Hai Mingsheng's expression was condensed and he did not dare to say another word.
"Take Hai Mingsheng away," Manager Zhang ordered.
Two disciples immediately came up and pulled Hai Mingsheng away.
"Wait a minute," a voice suddenly shouted from nearby.
Manager Zhang turned around in confusion and found a tall man slowly walking over. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, sharp angles, and was quite handsome.
"Uncle Lin..." Hai Mingsheng's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the tall man walking over, and he couldn't help shouting.
Manager Zhang came back to his senses, looked the tall man up and down, and frowned: "Who are you and how did you get in?" Manager Zhang had already used his spiritual sense to detect the tall man opposite and knew that the tall man was in the early stage of Jindan cultivation. , which is the same as my own cultivation level, so my tone of voice is more polite.
The tall man smiled: "My name is Lin San, and I usually guard the elixir garden in the back mountain..."
"You are Lin San," Manager Zhang exclaimed.
"Yes, I'm Lin San. Why, have you heard of me?" the tall man asked doubtfully.
Manager Zhang twitched the corner of his mouth: "You are the champion of the disciple competition of the Immortal Cultivation Sect of Nanyue Kingdom. How could I not have heard of your name?" At that time, when the Qingyue Sect held the competition of the disciples of the Cultivation Sect of the Immortal Sect, Manager Zhang happened to be busy. I was out, so I didn't meet Lin San in person, but I heard Lin San's name mentioned by many people.
"Senior brother, you deserve the award. I was just lucky enough to win the championship," Lin San said modestly, and then said, "Senior brother, I wonder what mistake Hai Mingsheng made, and you want to punish him."
Manager Zhang was stunned: "You know Hai Mingsheng,"
"Hai Mingsheng and I entered the Qingyue Sect on the same day," Lin San replied simply.
"I asked Hai Mingsheng to guard the alchemy furnace, but he refused to go and openly contradicted me," Manager Zhang said angrily.
"This is what's wrong with Hai Mingsheng. How can I openly contradict you, Manager Zhang?" Lin San turned to look at Hai Mingsheng, who was being held by two disciples: "Why don't you hurry up and admit your mistake to Manager Zhang?"
Hai Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, then understood, and hurriedly broke away from the restraints of the two disciples, ran over, and said respectfully to Steward Zhang: "Steward Zhang, I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it anymore."
Lin San helped him from the side: "Senior brother, for the sake of Hai Mingsheng being young and ignorant, please forgive him for once."
Manager Zhang had a sullen face and said nothing.
"Brother, just give Hai Mingsheng a chance," Lin San couldn't help shouting when he saw Manager Zhang was silent.
"Since Junior Brother Lin has spoken, I must give him face... Well, let's punish Hai Mingsheng by depriving him of food and sleep for a day and a night," Manager Zhang pondered for a moment and said slowly.
Lin San frowned: "This..."
"This is already my biggest concession. As the saying goes, every family has its own laws and every family has its own rules. If Hai Mingsheng openly contradicts me, he must be punished," Manager Zhang said without any doubt.
Lin San felt a little disgusted. He was interceding in such a low voice, but Manager Zhang insisted on punishing Hai Mingsheng. It was really abominable.
"Junior Brother Lin, you have to understand my difficulties. If I don't punish He Mingsheng today, how will I be able to convince the public in the future," Manager Zhang said slowly.
Lin San exhaled: "Okay, let's punish him according to senior brother's wishes."
"Take Hai Mingsheng away and ask him to guard the alchemy furnace immediately." Seeing that Lin San no longer had any objections, Manager Zhang ordered his disciples to take Hai Mingsheng away.
Looking at He Mingsheng's staggering back, Lin San felt a little uncomfortable.
"Junior Brother Lin, come to my residence for a cup of tea," Manager Zhang invited.
"Oh, no, I still have something to deal with, so I won't interrupt you." Lin Sancai was not in the mood to drink tea and chat with Manager Zhang, so he said hello, turned around and walked outside.
Manager Zhang sent him off personally.
When he was about to reach the gate, Lin San suddenly stopped.
"Well, Junior Brother Lin still has something to do," Manager Zhang asked doubtfully.
Lin San handed a waist card to Manager Zhang: "This is the waist card that Hai Mingsheng left me. Please pass it on to me, senior brother." Just now, he was only busy interceding for Hai Mingsheng and forgot to return the waist card.
"Okay, I'll return the badge to He Mingsheng later," Manager Zhang nodded and threw the badge into his arms.
After exchanging hands with Manager Zhang, Lin San strode away.
After Lin San's figure disappeared, Manager Zhang's expression suddenly turned cold: "Here comes someone."
A disciple hurriedly ran over: "Guanshi Zhang,"
Steward Zhang glanced at the disciple: "From today on, you will stand guard at the gate and don't let any strangers in."
"Yes, I understand," the disciple responded hastily.
Manager Zhang gave a few more instructions, then turned and left.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon that day, Lin San came to the alchemy room again.
A disciple from the alchemy room stopped Lin San.
Lin San spent a lot of time talking, and in the end he did not hesitate to use his golden elixir level cultivation to suppress him. The disciple in the alchemy room was afraid of offending Lin San, so he had to go in and call out Hai Mingsheng.
As soon as he saw Hai Mingsheng, Lin San thought he was dazzled. At this time, Hai Mingsheng looked very haggard, his hair was messy, his eyes were red and swollen, his face was very pale, his lips had several cracks, and his clothes were too. Dirty.
"Hai Mingsheng, what's wrong with you," Lin San asked in surprise.
"Uncle Lin, I..." Hai Mingsheng was about to speak when he suddenly saw the disciples in the alchemy room standing aside and swallowed his words immediately.
Lin San glanced at the disciples in the alchemy room: "Can you step aside for a moment? I want to talk to Hai Mingsheng alone."
"This..." There was a trace of hesitation on the faces of the disciples in the alchemy room.
Lin San's face darkened: "Why, there is a problem,"
"Ah, no, no, I'll leave now." Seeing Lin San getting angry, the disciples in the alchemy room hurriedly turned around and ran to the side. The cultivation level of the disciples in the alchemy room was only the eighth level of Qi training and foundation building period. He didn't dare to offend Lin San, who had cultivated in the Golden Core stage.
"What's going on?" Lin San asked with concern after the disciples in the alchemy room walked away.
"Alas..." Hai Mingsheng sighed softly: "I wasn't tortured by that manager Zhang."
Lin San raised her eyebrows: "Why, didn't Manager Zhang promise me that he would only let you go without food and sleep all day and night? Doesn't he mean what he says?"
Hai Mingsheng shook his head: "I am the manager of the alchemy room. It is not easy to cause trouble for me. Last night, Manager Zhang came to inspect. When he saw that the fire in the alchemy furnace was not strong, he said that I was lazy and hit him with a stick on the spot. He beat me hard several times. If other senior brothers hadn’t interceded for me, I would have been beaten to death."
"This manager Zhang is really bullying people," Lin San said angrily.
Hai Mingsheng smiled bitterly: "I am the manager of the alchemy room and have great authority. Of course I can do whatever I want."
