Han Dapeng Wants to Join The Mountain

Illusion! This must be an illusion!

What did I just see? He actually fed a Body Tempering Pill to a dog?

Han Dapeng felt his heart twitch violently, and his breathing became irregular. His mind turned blank, and he fell limp before dropping to the ground.

It's a Body Tempering Pill, a Body Tempering Pill!

The effects included improving one's physique, expanding one's potential, and breaking through a bottleneck. Each one of them would drive one mad.

He had only seen the Body Tempering Pill once in his ten years as an outer sect deacon, and that single pill had alarmed almost all the people in the entire East Delta County. In fact, even the counties by the borders had been alarmed, and countless people had come to grab it. He had fantasized countless times about the breakthrough in martial arts that he might achieve if he had a Body Tempering Pill. He would then become a true warrior.

Now, he had seen the Body Tempering Pill for the second time, but a dog actually ate it. If not for the fact that he still had a small bit of rationality, he would have slit the dog's belly open and taken the pill out of its belly to eat it before it was digested.

"Deacon Han, what are you doing here?" Su Yu walked forward, and to his surprise, Han Dapeng arrived soon after the siblings did. He wondered, Is today a suitable day for receiving guests?

"Young Master Su, I'm purely here for a visit. Sorry to disturb you," Han Dapeng frantically stood up and said to him respectfully while glancing at Su Yu's bottle. His pupils suddenly constricted. It was the Body Tempering Pills again!

He's truly a disciple of the Elixir Saint. He treats these elixirs like candy. Han Dapeng felt like his hair standing on end, while his breathing became heavy and irregular. He simply felt that there was a huge opportunity right in front of him.

Stay calm. I must stay calm!

Han Dapeng took a deep breath and forced himself to curb his urge to bow and worship. He said respectfully, "Young Master Su, when I saw you today, I felt that you were extraordinary. I didn't expect you to become the king of a mountain at such a young age. You're truly a model for the younger generation."

"You're flattering me, Deacon Han." Su Yu and Han Dapeng chatted while walking. Throughout the journey, Han Dapeng did most of the talking, and he kept bootlicking Su Yu, making Su Yu secretly feel rather pleased.

"Well… Young Master Su, your residence is indeed extraordinary. Even a building of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion isn't this majestic. Only a residence like this can match your identity, Young Master Su…" Han Dapeng suppressed his shock and seized every opportunity to curry favor.

"Okay, come in." Su Yu opened the door, only to give Han Dapeng an eyeopener again because the latter had never seen the decor inside before. He stood outside the door in shock, not daring to enter at all.

He carefully popped his head in to take a look and was immediately frightened when he saw Mu Xiaoxiao. He immediately fell to his knees at the door and exclaimed in a shaky voice, "I have disturbed the Elixir… Elder Zhao! Elder Zhao, I wish you bountiful blessings and longevity!"

"Deacon Han, all visitors are guests. You don't have to be too restrained." Su Yu was rendered speechless. He felt that bootlicking had become Han Dapeng's habit as his flattering words simply rolled off his tongue.

"Young Master Su, from now on, you don't need to call me Deacon Han. I have resigned from the Spirit Medicine Pavilion." Han Dapeng continued sincerely with a kowtow, "I'd like to join the Great King Mountain. Young Master Su, please accept me. I promise I'll live and die with the Great King Mountain!"

"You want to join the Great King Mountain?" Su Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Han Dapeng. Truth be told, Han Dapeng may have curried favor with him and made him sound really capable, but Su Yu dared not take him in as he was a fence sitter who might betray him someday.

"Please, Young Master Su!" Han Dapeng knocked his head against the ground and begged in an anxious but expectant tone.

Although Elder Zhao was one of the reasons that he had decided to resign as outer sect deacon and join the Great King Mountain, he had to admit that Han Dapeng was indeed very driven.

"System, see if Han Dapeng can join the Great King Mountain."

Ding…

"Han Dapeng, medium to high altitude, has a penchant of sucking up to powerful backers, likes threatening others because of the power of his superiors but is a conscientious worker. As long as his backer is powerful enough, the possibility of betrayal is almost zero. He can join the Great King Mountain."

Su Yu's eyes glistened a little, and he asked after pondering for a moment, "Do you know what you need to do to join the Great King Mountain?"

"No matter what I have to do, I'd be willing to do it!" Beaming with joy, Han Dapeng blushed red with excitement because he took it that Su Yu was willing to let him join the Great King Mountain.

"I'll put you on probation for a month. If I'm satisfied with your performance within this month and you feel that you really want to take on the job, I'll officially take you into the Great King Mountain!"

"Thank you, Young Master Su! I definitely won't let you down!" Han Dapeng was overjoyed, and he wished he could yell into the sky to express his joy. No matter what, he had to pass the month-long probation period!

"Come with me." Su Yu walked out of the door and headed all the way to the side of the ten units of land where various types of fruits were planted. Their shoots were showing too, and they formed a majestic scene.

Su Yu said, "The most basic job of joining the Great King Mountain is to plant crops."

"Plant… Plant crops?" Han Dapeng asked while looking at Su Yu doubtfully, thinking that he had misheard his words. Of course, the most important thing of a sect was to nurture the martial arts proficiency of their members. Even the less competent ones would train hard in alchemy and herb-picking. What could they get from planting crops?

However, he again thought about the rice that Su Yu sold and felt gratified, thinking to himself that it would be fine if he had to grow that type of rice.

Su Yu purchased a hoe from the miscellaneous category and tossed it at Han Dapeng. He then walked toward the vegetable field and said, "Follow me."

Next, he bent his legs a little and held onto the hoe with his hands forming a spiral shape. Then, he raised the hoe high above his head, sank his shoulders, arched his back, and the hoe fell straight down, causing the soil on the ground to splatter everywhere. If someone observed carefully, they would realize that the soil that splashed everywhere had formed a standard shape.

The hoe seemed to be moving up and down according to a certain rhythm. Although it was just plowing land, it looked extremely pleasing to the eye.

However, the actions that Su Yu could perform effortlessly were almost impossible for Han Dapeng. In fact, even his posture when he was holding the hoe was wrong.

"That's not how your hands should be placed. Turn it over, don't use so much force. Are you very nervous?

"Bend your legs, yes, bend them. Why are you bending so much? Straighten them a little…

"Harder, did you not eat? The force you apply must be even, do you understand? See what you've done. The depths are irregular…"

…

Han Dapeng had never been that frustrated before, and his expression was extremely awkward. Although he was a martial artist at Outer Art's pinnacle, he actually couldn't use a hoe properly. He suddenly felt that there was nothing more difficult than land plowing. He had never found martial arts as difficult as this…
