Scam

He didn't know the way, so along the way he tried to ask someone who is a senior. But to no avail, they were too fast for him to catch up, they seemed so busy.

As for new disciple that's like him, he didn't see any of them.

And so he wandered aimlessly.

Somehow he arrived at the martial arts pavilion, but when he arrived, there was a crowd blocking the entrance.

The crowd is all the new disciples trying to get in the martial arts Pavilion.

He then overheard the conversation of other disciples.

"What are they doing?"

"They are Charging us 200 merits for us to get to the entrance of the Pavillion!"

"That's Insane! If we pay them 200 merits, what martial art can we pick? that's too much!"

'They are charging 200 merits to all new disciple that wants to enter?'

Cao Xing frowned.

He really didn't like these kinds of people.

Cao Xing got 5000 merits for hitting the pillar into red color.

But how about the one who barely passes? He was pretty sure they only got about 500 merits.

They would need a merit to enter the Pavillion, not to mention to take a copy of a martial art.

As none stepped up, he took a step forward.

He was ready to fight back, but what was unexpected was that Huo Yi stepped up too.

Before he can say anything, Huo Yi was a step faster.

"Stop this right now!"

All the senior who was extorting money stopped.

They were outer disciples too, but they have been in the sect longer than others.

When they see it was Huo Yi, they involuntarily took a step back. But then someone came out from the crowd of the senior and mocked Huo Yi.

"You think it's because it's your words we will step back? What can a fallen clan do?!" He was a senior wearing a Violet robe with clouds on them.

It meant that the senior was an inner disciple.

Everyone was surprised, they just knew that the Huo clan was already fallen.

When Huo Yi heard that, his face darkened. Fire gather in his hands and then he tried to attack him.

"Fiery Dragon Palm!"

The power was stronger than the one in the entrance test, it was very powerful. But the senior blocked effortlessly it.

It was normal since all the inner disciple is mostly at Qi Transformation, and he was pretty sure that Huo Yi is still at the Body forging realm.

"Huo Yi, you can't beat me, not even your brother can't beat me! What makes you think you can? I should have just killed you with your brother, take this!"

"Talon of Lightning!" lightning crackled in his hands, Cao Xing sure that the senior was going to kill Huo Yi, So he intercepted it.

He grabbed his axe that's on his back and then with all his might. He tried to reduce the power as much as possible for Huo Yi.

When His ax touched the senior claw, it's very heavy to block it, He then got blown back by the power.

Cao Xing smashed into a wall and then he coughed blood.

His axe was broken, in the first place it was just a normal axe, he didn't have a time to change it to a better one.

As for Huo Yi, he was blown back too, but not as hard as Cao Xing.

Cao Xing's eyes blurred.

'Is this the end?' That was his only thought. He just started cultivating. There was no way he could block that. He didn't know why, but he felt like he needed to help Huo Yi.

He then passed out.

****

Huo Yi was surprised.

'Did this guy just saved me? He has a complicated feeling about it. He wanted to continue to attack Ren Jianyu, but a memory flashed through him.

It was a memory of when he was a child, his father was lecturing him.

"Remember this Son. If someone saved you, you must pay back that person tenfold."

"But, why? Isn't the world is cruel? They might ask us something that we can't afford!"

"That's true. But if we didn't get that person's help, will all that matter? If you die, you can't bring that wealth or anything, but if you are still alive, you can continue to amass them, right? In fact, a friend like that is more precious than all of our wealth!"

"Alright dad, I will follow your teaching!"

Ren Jianyu was prepared to fight Huo Yi, but then Huo Yi's moves surprised him.

Huo Yi turned around and grabbed Cao Xing. He then ran from the scene.

Leaving Ren Jianyu confused.

'Does Huo Yi know that guy?' Ren Jianyu thought.

"Hey, you! Go find out about that guy Huo Yi was carrying!" He ordered his lackeys.

'I don't know who you are, but I won't forgive you for ruining my plan.'

Ren Jianyu then leaves the scene too.

Everyone was dumbfounded, but then they returned to reality.

Now they can get in!

They were all grateful to Huo Yi and Cao Xing.

****

Huo Yi carried Cao Xing to his room. He knew Cao Xing's room since he asked around at the Brown Jade Peak.

He laid down Cao Xing on the bed and then Searched his own bag. He then took out a pill and fed them to Cao Xing.

After that, he bolted to the Alchemy Pavillion. He knew that the pill would only be enough to delay it, he needed a more potent pill to help Cao Xing.

When he arrived at the Alchemy Pavillion, he hurriedly told the elders what he needed.

When the elders heard this he was surprised, because the pill that Cao Xing wanted to buy was something used for very serious injuries.

"Who is injured that badly they needed Wood Mending pill?" The Alchemy elder asked.

With little choice, Huo Yi hurriedly tells the elders about what happened.

The Elder face was furious "This... We just got a new talent in our sect now it's going to be destroyed?! The Ren clan has gone too far."

"Don't worry child you don't give me a merit for this, I won't let someone this talented gone to waste."

The elder and Huo Yi, then flew to Cao Xing's room.

The elder hurriedly entered the room and put his hand on Cao Xing's body and then frowned.

A set of needles appeared on the elder hand, and then the elder inserted needles into Cao Xing's body, and then through the needles, he used Qi to enter Cao Xing's body.

Cao Xing coughed blood, and then color returned to Cao Xing's face. But he didn't wake up.

The elder wiped his sweat away and then tells Huo Yi, who is waiting patiently on the side.

After waiting the elder stopped and looked at Huo Yi and said. "He is safe. If not for you giving him healing pills, his life would be already in the afterlife. Good job." the elder praised him.

Huo Yi sighed in relief. Now that he thought about it, he didn't know this one elder.

"Forgive this disciple for asking it late, but what is the elder name?"

"Haha, It's okay you don't need to be so formal with me, you can call me Elder Yu, I'm in charge of refining pills so people rarely know me."

"Thank you elder Yu for saving his life."

"No problem, he will wake up in a few hours, so take care of him, I need to go."

"Yes, elder Yu" Huo Yi bowed, and then Elder Yu left.

Huo Yi then took a seat and then waited for Cao Xing to wake up while cultivating.
