Chapter 572
Alex knew, these people here could kill him and call it justice.He could die at the hands of Wan Junhao—a servant—or at the hands of the Outer Disciples who watched from the sidelines like vultures.Either way, death was on the table.So Alex made his choice.If he had to die, he would die fighting Wan Junhao on the platform.At least there, he would have a chance.The best a servant in Wudang could ever learn were scraps—some Wudang’s basic cultivation techniques, a handful of crude sword forms, simple movement arts.Wan Junhao leapt onto the platform with the confidence of a man who had already won. He pointed at Alex, his finger sharp as a blade.“Number Nine,” he called out coldly. “You’re dead. Get up here.”The crowd shifted, hungry.Alex didn’t rush. He bent down, picked up his battered soup pot, and settled it over his head. Then he climbed onto the platform.He lifted the iron wok in his hand like a sword. The metal caught the light. It looked ridiculous.For a moment, there

Alex was enjoying his life in the kitchen.At some point, he stopped worrying about what his future might look like. He stopped thinking about trials, rankings, or status. Most of his days were spent eating and cultivating alongside his Elder Brothers.They refined Food Pills, cultivation pills, laughed, and stuffed themselves until they could barely stand. It was simple. It was steady.Life was good.As the months passed, bits of gossip drifted into the kitchen like smoke from the outer courtyards. News about the Wudang Sect traveled fast, even to the servants’ quarters.He learned the structure piece by piece.The disciples were divided into three ranks: Core Sect, Inner Sect, and Outer Sect.Servants like him lived in the lowest area, working, cooking, cleaning. But there was a rule—one narrow path upward.Any servant who cultivated to the fifth level of Chi Condensation—who could truly sense the dantian and draw energy from the air, gathering Chi into their body—could apply for th

When Alex opened his eyes, the ceiling swam above him.For a moment he didn’t remember where he was. Then the faces came into focus—eight round, stunned faces staring down at him as if he had just crawled out of a grave.All eight Fattys crowded around the chair he had awkwardly converted into a makeshift bed.Their bulky frames blocked out the light, their shadows falling over him. Eyes wide, mouths slightly open, they stared down at him as if he had just performed a miracle—or survived one.Awe. Pure awe.“Little Brother Ninth,” the First Fatty said carefully, like he was handling something fragile. “Tell me the truth. Did you really cook those food pills?”Alex swallowed. His throat felt dry. “Yes.”A ripple passed through the room.The First Fatty leaned closer. “Did you change the recipe?”“Yes.”Alex pushed himself upright. His body still felt weak, but his mind was clear. He glanced around the chairs until he spotted a stack of paper notes on a nearby table. He reached for it.

They kept eating.Hundred-year ginsengs. Rare spirit mushrooms. Spirit fruits and leaves that glowed faintly under the lantern light. Trays of precious herbs that would have driven ordinary disciples mad with envy.Alex ate everything they pushed toward him. So did the other fatties.He swallowed until his vision blurred. The rich spiritual energy surged through his veins like fire. His head spun. His face flushed red. Heat rolled off his skin, and soon white steam curled from the top of his head as if he were a boiling kettle.He felt drunk.No—worse than drunk.The more he forced himself to eat, the warmer Big Fatty and the others became. Their eyes softened. Their grins widened. They watched him like proud older brothers initiating a new recruit into a secret order.By the end, they leaned back, slapped their massive stomachs, and burst into booming laughter. The kitchen shook with it.“Everyone,” Big Fatty First announced, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “We follow tra

Alex had already done the math in his head. If they rushed him together—him, a nobody with no backing, no allies—he would die.Not maybe. Not possibly. One hundred percent.“You’re the Ninth, right?” Wang Junhao shouted, pointing straight at him.Alex immediately forced an innocent look onto his face. “No. You’ve got the wrong person. You’re knocking on the wrong door.”“Liar!” Wang Junhao roared. His hands clenched into fists as he stared at Alex like he wanted to tear him apart. “You’re not fat. You’re obviously a newbie!”“Senior Wang Junhao,” one of the men behind him said impatiently. “Enough talking. Let’s just kill him now!”“Yes!” another agreed at once.They started advancing. One of them kicked the door without hesitation. The wooden door exploded inward with a single blow, splintering apart.Alex could see it clearly now. Every face was twisted with rage. These people weren’t bluffing. They looked ready to kill him on the spot.“Pure Snow Sword Maiden Li Qingxue brought me
Chapter 567
Alex was too stunned to speak as the fat woman led him away from the building and onto a nearby path, talking the entire time.Her voice was flat and practiced as she explained the basic rules and customs of the Wudang Sect, as if she had repeated the same words a thousand times before.The path beneath their feet was paved with smooth green limestone, winding through layers of courtyards and elegant buildings.Fragrant plants and blooming flowers filled the air, their scent light and intoxicating.The entire place felt unreal—serene, lofty, almost divine, like a paradise carved out of the mortal world.Alex felt it immediately.Once, he had been a cultivator. Even now, his instincts had not dulled.The natural energy here was astonishingly dense, the kind Xia cultivators called Heaven and Earth Energy. It pressed gently against his skin, seeped into his lungs, and soaked into his bones.Just breathing here refreshed his cells.His thoughts sharpened.On Earth, he had about five years
