C1 Difficulty everywhere

The sky was vast and the ground was covered in clouds. A mountain range was faintly discernible in the clouds, making it look like a paradise on earth.

The mountains in the mountain range were adorned with ornaments, with quite a few friar s flying here and there, creating a unique scene.

In a small, inconspicuous mountain, a group of people were working hard under the scorching sun.

This was a huge abandoned site, and in this abandoned site, there were piles of stinky broken Pills and rotten herbal medicine.

Although this place stank, there were still more than ten people searching for something on this pile of Pills.

Yang Xie lifted his head to look at the sun in the sky. The sun was like a giant fireball, emitting a scorching heat, causing Yang Xie to look into the distance, where even the heat waves were preventing it from causing some distortions.

Squatting down, Yang Xie picked up a still considered good Pills and placed it into the Pills's bag beside him. Yang Xie wiped the sweat off his nose.

"Two hundred eighty-nine pills." Yang Xie heaved a sigh of relief, and muttered to himself.

Yang Xie was only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, and in Cloud Sky Sect, he could not even be considered an outer disciple. Normally, he could only pick up broken Pills s and sell them to outer disciples for a living.

Yang Xie looked weak and frail, but his eyes were bright and his eyebrows were sharp like swords. He had a handsome nose, although he was not that handsome, his smile was very bright.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Some outer sect disciples will be coming soon. Everyone, hurry up! " Yang Xie knew that this was a Senior Martial Brother Li that had contracted the entire abandoned Pills mountain range. For a Pill picker like Yang Xie, no matter how many Spirit Stone he sold every day, he would still offer ten percent to the Senior Martial Brother Li.

Looking at the heavy Pills on his waist, Yang Xie smiled in satisfaction.

A hundred broken Pills would more or less be enough to sell a single Spirit Stone. He had so many of them, yet he could only take three today.

Standing up, Yang Xie saw that the outer sect disciples who were collecting pellets had arrived, so he packed up his Pills and slowly walked down.

After walking for more than ten steps, Yang Xie suddenly felt a light glow at the side.

"What is this?"

Yang Xie dropped to the ground, using the long rod in his hand to brush away the pile of herbal medicine s that had rotted away, and saw the light below the herbal medicine.

This was a strange ball, about the size of an ox's eye, covered densely in granules on top of it. Not only was the ball ugly, there was not even a hint of spirit energy flowing from it, it was no different from a normal stone. However, Yang Xie was sure that the ray of light just now had come from this ball.

Yang Xie held the ball in his hand, and discovered that there was nothing special about it. This made Yang Xie feel extremely disappointed, and just as he was about to throw it out, he remembered that ray of light. Yang Xie was a little reluctant, and casually placed the ball into his Pills.

As the afternoon approached, many outer sect disciples had already come to this abandoned Pills.

The Cloud Sky Sect was one of the top three sects around here with hundreds of thousands of disciples. True disciples, inner and outer disciples, and even the service disciple s were arranged in many layers to form the hierarchy of the Cloud Sky Sect.

Yang Xie and his group of Pill picker s stood in a row, placing their Pills s at their feet. A total of outer sect disciples came to pick them.

Seeing that group of outer sect disciples had walked over, Yang Xie's brows immediately jumped as his gaze locked onto a person within the group of outer sect disciples.

"Why is he here?" Yang Xie looked at Chen Lin, who was smiling sinisterly at him from afar, and frowned.

It wasn't just Yang Xie, but the other Pill picker s shuddered the moment they saw Chen Lin.

On the basis of the fact that Chen Lin was an outer sect disciple, he often bullied and bullied service disciple s like Yang Xie, and sometimes even fought fiercely. For example, one month ago, this Chen Lin had almost killed Yang Xie, but he had only been scolded by the chief outer sect disciple.

When Yang Xie saw Chen Lin walking towards him with a smiling face, he immediately lowered his head and clenched his fists.

After taking two deep breaths, Yang Xie told himself that he had to endure it. However, the sound of footsteps came from afar and stopped in front of Yang Xie.

"What, you don't even want to raise your head?" Chen Lin had a pair of triangular eyes, and looked at Yang Xie with a ridiculing expression.

Yang Xie raised his head, looking at Chen Lin with a forced smile: "Senior Brother Chen, I'm not."

Seeing Yang Xie's smile, Chen Lin was startled for a moment, then laughed in disdain: "Today, I'll take your Pills."

Yang Xie grabbed the Pills under his feet: "Senior Brother Chen, there are 289 Pills in total, you just need to give two Spirit Stone to them." Yang Xie was afraid that Chen Lin would cause trouble, hence he immediately opened his mouth and said it in a cheap manner.

Chen Lin smiled as he looked at Yang Xie: "Two Spirit Stone?" As he spoke, he took out a Spirit Stone from the group of storage bag and waved it before Yang Xie's eyes.

"What if I give you a Spirit Stone?" Chen Lin looked at Yang Xie. He wanted to see how angry Yang Xie was, last time, because of a few kicks he was scolded by the chief outer disciple Senior Martial Brother Li, causing Chen Lin to feel depressed. This was coincidentally the case since Senior Martial Brother Li was out, so Chen Lin came to the abandoned Pills and wanted to teach Yang Xie a lesson.

Yang Xie frowned. A Spirit Stone was enough for Yang Xie to cultivate for more than ten days, and their group of service disciple s did not have good aptitudes to begin with. They only had Spirit Stone to cultivate on.

After considering in his heart for a long time, Yang Xie still frowned and said to Chen Lin: "Senior Brother Chen, that's not good, right?"

When Chen Lin saw Yang Xie's frown, he was instantly delighted. "I'll give you a Spirit Stone, what can you do?"
