Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

An hour later, Zhang Chen arrived outside the valley. At this moment, there were still many cultivators outside the valley, and none of them noticed Zhang Chen who had just come out.

Zhang Chen didn't care and walked straight outside.

"Time flies and I have been here for so many years. I wonder what the situation is like outside now."

Zhang Chen looked around and prepared to inquire about the situation first.

Just then Zhang Chen heard a quarrel nearby. He turned his head and saw three men in green arrogantly scolding an old man. Zhang Chen was a little surprised to see the old man's appearance. He was the old monk Zhang Chen met when he first came to Thunder Valley. He had warned him at that time. Zhang Chen remembered him, so he walked over.

"Lao Luo, I've already let you enter Thunder Valley many times before. You've already broken the rules, and I've let you delay for so long. Now it's time to pay off the spiritual stones you owe me."

"Three messengers, please be kind. Thunder Valley has been extremely unstable in recent years and has become several times more dangerous. It is difficult to find anything valuable. Please give me a few more years. I will make up for it all when Thunder Valley stabilizes."

The old man bowed and begged repeatedly, but the three men, looking at his gloomy appearance and the fact that he might not survive today but tomorrow, would never agree.

"A few more years of grace? Humph, but there are ways."

One of the men thought of something and smiled.

"I will never make a furnace for you, so just give up on this idea."

A young girl was walking towards them from a distance. She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was very beautiful and had a slender waist. She immediately attracted many people's attention. Zhang Chen used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that she was only at the second level of Qi Condensation.

The man's face turned cold, he glanced at his companion and made a look.

The companion understood, his face immediately turned cold, and he looked at the old man coldly and said:

"You must pay the three hundred spirit stones immediately today, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."

"What do you mean three hundred spirit stones? I've only entered five times, and the most I've gotten is a hundred spirit stones."

The old man's face changed and he began to question.

"You have defaulted on your payments many times. This is your punishment. Otherwise, if everyone does this, where will the dignity of our Thunder Cloud Valley be?"

After the man finished speaking, his whole body was filled with spiritual energy, which shocked the old man and the woman and made them retreat repeatedly, their faces flushed.

"You guys only moved to Thunder Cloud Valley 20 years ago. My grandfather has lived here for decades. Even if they came first or later, why should you take the spirit stones from the monks in Thunder Valley?"

The woman looked at the three people's angry questioning. Before, no one cared about entering the Thunder Valley, but with the arrival of the Thunder Cloud Valley, this place was occupied by the Thunder Cloud Valley. If other cultivators wanted to enter the Thunder Valley, they had to pay them spirit stones, which made other cultivators very angry. However, when the master of the Thunder Cloud Valley appeared with the cultivation base of the Golden Core Stage, he directly shocked the others. Due to their strength, they had to pay spirit stones to enter the Thunder Valley.

"Why? Of course it's based on strength. In the world of immortal cultivation, strength is respected. Didn't your grandfather tell you that?"

One of the three chuckled.

"Xiao Jing, seeing that your grandfather can't gather the spirit stones today, you should obey me. Then I will find a way to ask the elders for a few longevity pills for your grandfather, so that your grandfather can live a few more years."

The man looked at the woman with lustful eyes. He had already decided that he would get the woman no matter what.

"You're dreaming."

The woman walked up to the grandfather and whispered to him:

"Grandpa, let's go back. When the time comes, we will quietly leave this place and seek refuge with those big sects."

His grandfather also looked deeply at the three men and touched the woman's head. He entered the Thunder Valley again and again just to find some valuable elixirs so that he could leave enough cultivation resources for the woman when his life was about to end. However, he ran into Zhang Chen who was practicing in it, which made the Thunder Valley extremely unstable and resulted in no gains.

"Want to leave? You can't leave until you pay back the spirit stones."

The man had been keeping an eye on the two of them, and heard every word the woman said.

The woman was shocked. She didn't expect that the man could hear what she said, and she couldn't help but panic.

Just when the two were panicking and didn't know what to do, a Thunder Spirit Flower appeared in Zhang Chen's hand. Zhang Chen accidentally discovered this when he came out, so he picked it up.

Then he flicked his fingers and the Thunder Spirit Flower flew into the old man's hands.

The old man was surprised when he saw the Thunder Spirit Flower suddenly appear in his hand.

"Is this a fifty-year-old thunder spirit flower? It's worth nearly a thousand low-grade spirit stones."

The old man looked back, wanting to know who threw it, but he saw that the monks around him all turned their heads to check and looked at each other in confusion.

The old man immediately bowed with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

Suddenly, a figure flashed, the old man's palm was empty, and the Lei Linghua was immediately caught in the hand of a man.

"What are you doing? That's for my grandfather."

The woman said angrily when she saw the man taking the elixir.

"This Thunder Spirit Flower was picked from the Thunder Valley, and my Thunder Cloud Valley will get half of it, so half of this Thunder Spirit Flower belongs to my Thunder Cloud Valley. Together with the 300 spirit stones you owe, this spiritual medicine will just pay off the debt."

The man examined the Thunder Spirit Flower, his face filled with joy, and immediately put it into his storage bag.

"Shameless."

The woman cursed.

The monks around were also indignant and pointed fingers.

"Do you know what will happen if you offend my Thunder Cloud Valley within its territory?"

The three men looked at the monks around them threateningly.

Hearing their words, the cultivators around them immediately looked complicated. They were all independent cultivators with no background, so how could they compete with those sects? Moreover, they heard that Leiyun Valley had the Wuyin Sect as its backer, so they could not afford to offend them.

At this moment, Zhang Chen walked out lightly, looked at the man who put away the Thunder Spirit Flower and said:

"Just now I accidentally dropped the elixir into the hands of that fellow Taoist, but you took it away from me. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

"You said you picked that Thunder Spirit Flower?"

The man looked at Zhang Chen with an unfamiliar face, as if he had never seen him before. After a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he found that Zhang Chen was actually in the middle stage of foundation building. The disdainful look on his face faded.

"Yes."

“When did you enter Thunder Valley?”

"More than 20 years."

Zhang Chen said lightly.

"So that's how it is. No wonder I haven't seen it before."

The man suddenly realized, then looked at Zhang Chen and said again:

"It's been so long. Do you know that there is a time limit for entering Thunder Valley? You have been in there for twenty years, so you have to pay at least 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. This spiritual medicine is worth 1,000 low-grade spirit stones. Now you should pay the remaining 9,000 spirit stones, otherwise you can't leave here."

"What? Haha..."

Zhang Chen was so angry that he laughed. He didn't expect to meet such a shameless person just after practicing. Then his eyes showed murderous intent, but he still asked coldly:

"What will happen if I don't pay?"

"It won't be a big deal. We'll just break his limbs, destroy his cultivation, and throw him into Thunder Valley to fend for himself."

Zhang Chen couldn't control himself anymore after hearing this. There was a loud bang under his feet and he was already next to the three men. He punched them directly, using the first move of the Wave Fist, the Initial Wave. Three huge waves formed by qi and blood rushed over. The three men felt the power and their faces immediately turned terrified. They hurriedly raised their shields to resist, but it was like a small boat in the waves, and they capsized in an instant under the huge waves.
