Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

The breeze was blowing gently on the mountain. Zhang Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind. Looking at the huge peaks in the distance, he was filled with emotion.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly a greeting came from behind.

This scared Zhang Chen a lot. He didn't expect that there would be someone on the mountain so early. He quickly turned around to look.

There was a young man in his twenties, with a sturdy build, short hair, and well-defined muscles. Zhang Chen had to look up slightly to see his face.

"Are you a new disciple? I haven't seen you before," Zhang Chen asked hurriedly when he saw this.

"I'm not a new disciple, I'm just a menial disciple!" The sturdy man said indifferently.

"A menial disciple, he doesn't look like one!" Zhang Chen looked at the young man. I have seen a lot of menial disciples recently, like the man in charge who is very fat, and the others are also thin, very different from the one in front of him!

"Did you get up so early just to see the scenery here?" the sturdy man asked.

"Yeah, I heard the scenery here is nice." Zhang Chen was also curious about him, so he started chatting with him.

"What are you doing here so early?" Zhang Chen looked at him and asked.

"I'm exercising." The sturdy man said lightly.

Zhang Chen looked at his muscular body and suddenly realized something.

"Why don't you practice your skills?"

Sima Feng looked at Zhang Chen strangely and said:

"Don't you know? Menial disciples don't have the aptitude to cultivate immortality, and they can't practice the sect's techniques."

"what?"

Zhang Chen looked at the sturdy man with sympathy on his face. In this sect of cultivating immortals, he could only watch others cultivate immortality, which was such a torture for him.

The strong man looked at Zhang Chen with sympathy and said calmly:

"Do you think that if you don't have the aptitude to cultivate immortality, you can't cultivate immortality?"

"Is it possible to practice Taoism without any qualifications?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

“Just because it didn’t happen before doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future.” The sturdy man looked at the mountains in the distance and said with a firm look in his eyes.

Zhang Chen looked at the strong man and thought to himself:

"It seems that he is unwilling to give up. I am sure I will not be willing to give up either."

"I still have some more exercise to do, so I'll take my leave now." The sturdy man said and left.

Zhang Chen looked at his back as he left, thinking about something. Suddenly he asked, "What's your name?"

"Sima Feng" replied from a distance.

"Compared to him, I am very lucky."

Zhang Chen looked around, then sat down cross-legged and began to practice on the spot until the sun was high in the sky, approaching noon.

Zhang Chen walked down the mountain and returned to the room just in time to see Wang Dong and Bai Yunyun.

"Brother Chen, where have you been? I didn't see you eat yesterday, and I didn't see you this morning. I thought something happened to you." Wang Dong saw Zhang Chen coming back and immediately went up to ask.

"I just went for a stroll in the back mountain. I've always heard from the errand disciples how beautiful the scenery is there, but I've never been there, so I went to take a look." Zhang Chen felt warm in his heart seeing how much Wang Dong cared about him.

"Scenery? Are you worried about your cultivation?" Wang Dong asked.

"A little bit." Zhang Chen nodded.

"I feel that some people are just cultivating fast now. Brother Chen, you are that bird. If you don't fly, then you'll just..." Wang Dong scratched his head and couldn't remember the word.

"If you don't make a sound, you'll be a surprise. If you don't fly, you'll soar into the sky." Bai Yunyun said, sticking out her tongue.

"Yes, that's it." Wang Dong quickly agreed.

Zhang Chen smiled bitterly. He looked at them and said:

"Let's go, let's go eat, otherwise we won't be able to walk, let alone fly."

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Fatty Shi was very enthusiastic when he saw Wang Dong coming.

"Hey, Senior Brother Wang, why did you come here in person? I will arrange for someone to send it over to you."

Fatty Shi was all smiles. He already knew that Wang Dong had condensed his Qi in one day, and this time he was certain that Wang Dong was a genius in cultivation.

"No, no, I'm not used to it. Besides, the food tastes better if we eat together." Wang Dong refused.

"Senior Brother Wang is really approachable. In the future, Senior Brother Wang's cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds. This time he even broke the sect's record of a hundred years. He can be said to be the sect's number one genius in the past hundred years..." Fatty Shi praised him endlessly.

"Stop talking. I can't eat my meal if you keep saying that," Wang Dong's face flushed. He had never been praised like this before. He felt a little uncomfortable looking at the burning gazes of many people.

"I'm telling the truth..."

"Stop talking for now. I want to ask you something." Zhang Chen interrupted quickly when he saw this.

"Brother Zhang, if you ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Fatty Shi turned his head and looked at Zhang Chen.

"Do you know Sima Feng?" Zhang Chen looked at Fatty Shi.

"Has Sima Feng offended you?" Fatty Shi asked subconsciously.

"No, no, I just met him today and chatted with him. I felt that he was very different, so I wanted to know more about him." Zhang Chen quickly waved his hand.

"Is that so? Sima Feng is a pitiful man." Fatty Shi sighed and said.

"How do you mean?" Zhang Chen became curious.

"Because of his miserable life experience, his whole family was wiped out by immortal cultivators," Fatty Shi sighed.

"What? What's going on?" Zhang Chen and the other two asked.

When a cultivator passed by their village, he saw that his sister was pretty and had evil intentions, so he killed his whole family. He was the only one who survived because he was outside. "After saying this, Fatty Shi also sighed deeply.

"There is such a thing. They are worse than animals and are truly scum of the immortal cultivation world." Zhang Chen and the other two cursed indignantly.

"This kind of thing happened in the area under the jurisdiction of our sect. Shouldn't we, Qingyumen, investigate it?" Zhang Chen asked angrily.

"The population of Daqing Kingdom is huge, and the sect has no way of knowing about the deaths of a few mortals. They can't do anything about it. This incident happened to be encountered by a disciple from the sect who was passing by, but they couldn't find out who did it. Sima Feng only saw their general appearance, so the matter had to be left unresolved." Fatty Shi also looked helpless.

"If these immortal cultivators go out and start killing people, then no one will care about them." Zhang Chen felt unhappy.

"If he just kills someone occasionally, it would be difficult to detect. Except for those evil cultivators, very few cultivators would massacre mortals." Fatty Shi explained slowly.

"How do you know so clearly?" Bai Yunyun saw that he, a menial disciple, was very knowledgeable about the affairs of immortal cultivators.

"My younger brother heard all this from his senior masters." Fatty Shi was full of pride when he mentioned his younger brother.

"By the way, Senior Brother Wang, my younger brother is in Chixia Peak. His name is Shi Jinyu. If we meet him in the future, please take care of him." Fatty Shi bowed to Wang Dong.

"I have just started practicing, how can I take care of your brother? You are really flattering me." Wang Dong declined.

"Senior Brother Wang, you have now made the leap from a carp to a dragon, you are definitely not something that can be kept in a pond..." Another bunch of flattering words.

"Then how did Sima Feng get into the sect?" Zhang Chen interrupted again hurriedly when he saw this.

"Oh, this one." Fatty Shi said with lingering feeling.

"At that time, the disciples who were away felt sorry for him and could not bear his pleading, so they told him the address of the sect."

"And then?" We were all aroused by this and hurriedly urged him to speak faster.

"Originally I wanted him to give up, but unexpectedly, Sima Feng took it seriously and walked for two whole months before actually reaching the sect gate. I heard that he was covered in blood and knelt outside the sect gate begging to be my disciple." Fatty Shi was full of admiration after he finished speaking.

"And then?" Zhang Chen continued to ask

"He was lucky, as he happened to meet the Second Elder when he came back from outside, otherwise the gatekeeper disciple would not have let him in. The Second Elder asked the reason and said that he had great willpower, but unfortunately he did not have the aptitude to cultivate immortality, so he arranged for him to be a menial disciple, which would allow him to live a life without worries about food and clothing." Fatty Shi also sighed.

"But he refused to accept his fate. Since he didn't have the talent to cultivate, he asked around for other methods. Finally, I don't know where he got the news from, but he started to train hard every day. If it weren't for my spiritual wine, he would have failed long ago. Now he's training well, but it's really not something that most people can persist in."

"I even specifically asked him what he was thinking and whether it was really useful to practice like this. He said that qualified people cultivate immortality by absorbing spiritual energy from the inside out, while he wanted to take a cultivation method from the outside in, targeting the path of immortality for those who don't have the qualifications." Fatty Shi said admiringly.

"This Sima Feng really dares to think," Wang Dong said with sincere admiration.

"Physical training? Zhang Chen was somewhat interested after hearing this.

"What he said about practicing from the outside to the inside seems to make sense. Even if it's not right, it can at least strengthen the body." Zhang Chen thought secretly in his heart and prepared to go to Sima Feng for advice.
