Chapter 1 — Nguyet Lac Vo Tuong

In order to seduce senior brother, I specially found a fellow alchemist and spent some spirit stone to buy it for Hop Hoan Tan. Who would have thought that unscrupulous monk would play a trick and give me a package of... chili powder! I didn't know it, so I mixed it straight into my senior brother's food. Sure enough, as soon as he finished eating, his face turned red, he was speechless, in a mixture of anger and disbelief, he drank five pots of my spirit tea in one go. Before leaving, you blatantly deducted three months of my salary and ordered me to swing my sword ten thousand times a day, run three times around the mountain, and plant three acres of Moon Grass—a spiritual herb that clears heat and cools down! The next day, I again painfully carried the hoe to the top of Dan Tu Phong to sow seeds. Who would have thought that as soon as I raised my head, I immediately encountered the dark-hearted monk monk - the one who sold me that packet of chili powder. Without saying a word, I immediately pulled out my sword, the cold blade was close to his neck. "You liar! You dare to deceive me with chili powder? Today this lady will tell you what is the true... chili flavor!" Meeting late is not as good as meeting early. Since the time I was punished by my senior brother, I have secretly climbed the pass and crossed the stream, traversing the entire mountain range to find the spiciest chili in the world. Today I finally met that black-bellied monk again, I must give him a packet of genuine Devil Lat! "Wait! No, listen to me explain..." "At that time, I forced the price, a low-grade spirit stone in exchange for a packet of Hop Hoan Tan! The cost of ingredients was not enough, do you understand?" "It was you who threatened me! Tell me, after eating in one breath, did the other person blush, become speechless, angry, and even look incredulous, junior sister?" “I did just as you told me!” That weak monk hugged my leg tightly, sniffling and telling me how arrogant I was at that time. I don't bother to listen. Since he's been called aggressive, what's wrong with feeding him a pound of Devil's Lat? After threatening him to swallow all that hellish chili powder, I conveniently forced him to buy ten roots of Moon Chi Herb at the price of ten top-grade spirit stones per root. He happily paid and even generously gave me a package of genuine Hop Hoan Tan at the right price. Although I really wanted to immediately put Hop Hoan Tan into my senior brother's tea cup, remembering the previous incident, I had to be patient for now. After swinging my sword ten thousand times, running around the mountain three times, planting three acres of Moonflower Grass, exhausted to the point of dizziness, I suddenly came up with an ill-advised plan: - test the medicine on... second senior brother first. So I secretly put Hop Hoan Tan into my second senior brother's wine jar, wanting to see if the medicinal effect was as rumored. Unexpectedly, just after taking a sip, the second senior brother was attacked by a deadly enemy from Quy Nhat Tong's sect. I couldn't stop him, so I had to follow him. The two had only fought half a match before the medicine began to take effect. I saw the second senior brother suddenly turn red, speechless, then turn to look at me with eyes of anger mixed with disbelief. At that moment, the deadly enemy immediately hugged the second senior brother who had gone limp in his arms. In my confusion, I heard the second senior brother gritting his teeth and shouting each word: "Take me away!" The second senior brother's deadly enemy looked at me from afar, with a hint of appreciation and gratitude in his eyes, then immediately turned around and led the second senior brother. mine left. As for me, I stood in place, reaching out my hand like "Nhi Khang", but in the end I couldn't hold it. But at least this has proven that the Hop Hoan Tan package in my hand is the real deal. Therefore, I started calculating again, looking for a suitable opportunity to add medicine to my senior brother's meal. However, after the last "chili powder" incident, for three days I was unable to go to my senior brother's dining room. On the contrary, the second senior brother - who had been missing for three days - returned, his burning eyes seemed to expose my skin, glaring so much that I felt chills down my spine. Next to him, of course, was still the deadly enemy who followed closely. The next day, from the master's mouth, I heard the news - the two senior brothers and that mortal enemy were about to become partners. It is said that after sleeping with someone and not taking responsibility, the dead enemy brought his sword to the door to claim his name. Several elders discussed it for a while and then decided to get married next month. Knowing that I was also heavily involved in this case, from then on, every time I went in and out of the cave, I was as sneaky as a mouse, afraid that even the slightest noise would make the second senior brother nearby angry, and then he would swing his sword and cut me in half. I don't know if the second senior brother secretly told something or not, but since then, the first senior brother has been more vigilant against me than guarding the sect's door. I held the remaining half packet of Hop Hoan Tan and wandered around your cave every day for half a month. I waited for a long time and didn't see anyone. Instead, I heard that you were about to go into seclusion to practice. It hurts... it really hurts to death! My heart feels like it's broken into falling petals. So, on the night of the cold moon and black wind, after senior brother closed the retreat, I secretly sneaked into his cave house. Hehe... My little Han Tam Ngu~ you're here to "enjoy"! I've been craving the fish that you've raised for a long time, but I've never had a chance to take action. Now that you're in retreat, I'll launch myself and glide straight down to the cold pond. The lake water is cold, but how can it compare to the fire of craving for fish in my heart? I rushed into the school of fish, just like Tru Vuong pounced on Dat Ky, each fish seemed to be calling out: "Come here, Great King~ come quickly and catch me~" Senior brother Han Tri had eighteen fish, I grilled three on the spot, hid two to bring home. After eating and drinking enough, when I stood up I discovered that the remaining half of the packet of Hop Hoan Tan had completely dissolved in the lake water. I and the thirteen remaining Han Tam Ngu in the lake stared at each other, one person, one fish, our eyes filled with... undercurrents of restlessness. In the end, I had to choose to brush my butt off and leave, silently praying that when senior brother returned, this group of fish would have had time to give birth to a few more nests of fry. The eldest senior brother went into seclusion, the second senior brother got married, and the senior brother was nowhere to be seen all day. There was only me left on the entire mountain, and of course no one mentioned my senior brother's previous punishments. So I returned to my leisurely days, wandering around the sect, teasing cats and dogs. But not long after, the news came like thunder: The sect's grand competition was about to be held! It is said that recently the disciples of all branches have been too lazy and lax in their cultivation, so the elders decided to use a grand competition to "tighten discipline". Each mountain peak must send people to participate, and my master's circuit has a small number of people, so there is no need to discuss it - I will definitely be pulled out as a reserve army. Before, they were all senior brothers and the second senior brother rushed outside, now the eldest senior brother has retreated, and the second senior brother... if I accidentally glanced at him, he would pull out his sword and stab me on the spot. My three-coin martial arts skills are actually only enough to bully the cultivators next to me. On weekdays I hardly ever use my sword, coupled with the genius reputation of my master, senior brother and second senior brother resounding throughout the sect, so everyone thinks I am a hidden master. Hearing that I was going to participate in the competition, I don't know where the rumor came from: I am a peerless genius, my strength is even greater than that of my senior brother and second senior brother, but I have always been good at hiding my weaknesses. This time I will definitely defeat all my opponents, flowers will fall and water will flow, no one can resist. Me: ? Who said that? Why don't we know anything ourselves? On the day of the competition, everyone in my class eagerly bet on me to win, looking at me like they were looking at the savior of the entire clan. I held on to my insecure mood and went up to draw lots, but I didn't expect to win... all round of rest, all the way to "sitting cool and eating a bowl of gold" straight to the finals.
