: Youming Mountain, Xuanyin Peak, Yuanzhou

"From today onwards, I will use the name of Supreme Xuan Yin. All nine of you will be the first disciples of the Xuan Yin branch of the Netherworld Ghost Sect. You must cultivate diligently in the future. Now, you can choose your own caves..”

After Master Xuan Yin finished speaking, the nine disciples responded in unison and walked out of the hall one after another.

Qin Feng, who was only eight years old, was ranked sixth among the nine disciples. He did not compete with other senior brothers and sisters for those popular cave abodes, but chose a secluded place to walk to..

He does not belong to this world, but soul from the blue star

Just a few days ago, Qin Feng was still a cattle herder from a landlord's family. He could not even eat enough.

When herding cattle on the hillside, suddenly saw a multicolored light falling from the sky, he chased all the way to the past,

However, Qin Feng did not see the final treasure. Instead, he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest floating on the edge of the cliff. He was shocked and immediately went forward to become his disciple..

That middle-aged Taoist priest is his current master, Master Xuanyin..

After a series of tests, Qin Feng was finally accepted into the door wall by Master Xuan Yin as he wished.

This should have been a joy,

However, Qin Feng never expected that his seemingly sage-like master was actually an elder of the Netherworld Ghost Sect, a large demonic sect!

That's pretty bad,

The existence of a Demon Sect disciple was extremely cruel.

In the sect, sect rules do not prohibit fellow disciples from killing each other. It is even said that some elders even kill their masters to become superior..

Outside, if you meet a Taoist disciple, it's even more like fire and water. If you don't agree, you'll fight..

Therefore, when he was herding cattle, Qin Feng set his life goal as "full", but now it has become "alive"..

It was not easy to survive in the cruel environment of the Demon Gate.

Qin Feng decided on a strategy for himself. It was very simple, just one word: " Gou.".

Try not to conflict with others in everything. If you can live, you will live. If you live, you will win!

It was said that many years ago, Xuanyin Peak was also a very prosperous branch of Netherworld Sect. However, it gradually declined. A few years ago, it even cut off its spiritual meridians..

Therefore, there were quite a few caves suitable for cultivation and living on the mountain..

Qin Feng finally took a fancy to a cave dwelling with a quiet environment and abundant spiritual energy.

Just as he hung his wooden token on the cave door, his third senior brother Cao Yu suddenly walked over and said coldly,"

"I want this cave abode. Get lost somewhere else..”

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said,"

"Alright, Senior Brother, please help yourself..”

As he spoke, he put away the wooden plate on the door.

No harsh words, no "clenched fists, eyes flashing cold light", so quietly walked away.

" Hmph, trash is indeed trash!"

After walking far away, Cao Yu said this in disdain..

The nine disciples of Master Xuan Yin were all extremely talented. One of them had a strange spirit root and two heavenly spirit roots, while the others had two good spiritual roots.

However, Qin Feng was the only one with the worst four spiritual roots!

With this kind of talent, he could only be an outer disciple at most. How could he ascend to the heavens in one step and become the direct disciple of a peak master?

Therefore, there were many people who hated Qin Feng and disliked him..

"Hey, Gou Zhidao, there's a long way to go!"

Finally, Qin Feng settled down near the back mountain.

On both sides of the cave abode are streams, standing thousands of feet high, and there are waterfalls pouring down. The sound is like thunder and lightning. The scenery is beautiful..

The most important thing is to be quiet enough to minimize unnecessary conflicts.

At night, Qin Feng sat cross-legged in the mansion to cultivate. His face was red and his forehead was covered in sweat unconsciously. His expression was a little painful..

The cultivation method he was currently cultivating was called Fire Evil Technique. When he cultivated it, his whole body felt like falling into a sea of fire. Every moment was extremely tormented. If he was not careful, he would easily be possessed..

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Feng's clothes suddenly shook slightly. He then slowly opened his eyes, unable to hide his joy..

It turned out that to cultivate this Fierce Fire Skill, one had to circulate nine cycles of inner breath in a row before one could be considered as a beginner.

Qin Feng had spent a full five days to finally achieve this step just now, officially stepping into the door of cultivation!

In comparison, Cao Yu, who also cultivated Fierce Fire Skill, circulated the cultivation technique nine times in just two hours.

No matter what, Qin Feng was already a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refinement Stage in the cultivation of the "three mortal stages": Qi Refinement, Marrow Cleansing, and Soul Cleansing.

：.: The most obvious change brought about by this incident is the ability to use spiritual consciousness to look inside one's body and check the situation of any major meridian point..

After Qin Feng examined it in a hurry, he finally looked at the Qi Sea in his dantian, where true qi was stored.

He was surprised to discover that in his dantian, there were colorful lights!

These precious lights were similar to those he had seen in heaven when he was herding cattle..

When his spiritual sense pushed aside the layers of fog, a small and exquisite nine-story glazed pagoda appeared in front of Qin Feng.

Two lines of seal characters were carved on the tower seat:

" The Calamity Accepting Pagoda has appeared. All things in heaven and earth are born!"

Cultivation has no time. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed..

This day is the ninth lunar new year festival,

Under an ancient pine tree at the edge of a cliff, Venerable Black Yin rarely held a banquet to teach. Qin Feng sat on a cushion and listened very seriously. From time to time, he even wrote on paper..

Below the cliff, is constantly surging clouds, reflecting the sunset afterglow, beautiful scenery.

When the last ray of sun disappeared, Master Xuanyin stood up and said a few words of encouragement to his disciples, then he flew away..

Qin Feng kept his notes and was about to return home when Seventh Junior Brother Lu Youwei suddenly walked over and said enthusiastically,

" Sixth Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother discovered a secret realm when he went out last time. He plans to invite us to explore it together. Do you want to go?"

Qin Feng's relationship with his fellow disciples was extremely cold, but Lu Youwei was the only one who was familiar with him. He often visited his remote cave abode and could not be chased away.

After a while, Qin Feng became familiar with him.

"No, my aptitude is too poor. I need to cultivate hard..”

Qin Feng did not think much about it and rejected Lu Youwei's invitation..

However, Lu Youwei continued to persuade him tirelessly,"

" Don't. In the past three years, you haven't even gone down the mountain once. You've been staying in your cave abode all day. The other disciples have almost forgotten about you!"

Qin Feng was delighted." It's good that I forgot. Back then, I ascended to the heavens in one step with my mixed spiritual roots and became the elder's direct disciple. I don't know how many people were thinking about me. Now, the popularity has finally subsided!"

He was still full of rejection,

However, Lu Youwei was like a quick dog skin plaster, continuing to persuade him non-stop.

" That secret realm isn't far from the Netherworld Mountains. Third Senior Brother even invited Senior Brother Yue Mo from Ghost Gate Peak. He's an expert at the Dao Entry Stage. There's absolutely no danger."

Even when they were about to return to the cave abode, Lu Youwei continued to speak tirelessly. Qin Feng was almost annoyed by his words, and he could not help but feel a little relaxed..

"Why don't you agree?"

Just as he was thinking about this, the Calamity Transcending Exquisite Tower, which had been dormant in his Qi Sea for several years, shook slightly!

A bad feeling instantly rose in his heart.

Qin Feng was a little surprised.

"It's rare that this tower is warning me?"

Therefore, he immediately said sternly without hesitation,"

" Don't mention this again. My fellow disciples have all broken through to the Marrow Cleansing Stage. Senior Brother Cao Yu is even at the Soul Cleansing Stage. I'm still at the Qi Refining Stage. How can I have time to go down the mountain for fun?"

After saying that, he walked into the cave abode without looking back. He closed the door and blocked Lu Youwei from entering..

Lu Youwei shook his head and left helplessly.

A few days later, Qin Feng was cultivating in his room when the nine-story Glazed Pagoda in his Qi Sea suddenly flashed with a brilliant light. A ball of precious light was spat out from the small door on the first floor and landed on his hand..

When the light dissipated, a jade bottle appeared in front of Qin Feng. It actually contained a bottle full of Jade Marrow Pills!

This pill not only increases a cultivator's true qi, but also has the effect of strengthening one's vitality and relieving pain. It is extremely beneficial to Qin Feng who cultivates Fierce Fire Skill..

Then, Qin Feng, who was confused, heard two bronze bells ringing in the mountains. Knowing that Master Xuan Yin was urgently calling for disciples, he did not dare to delay and hurriedly left the residence..

Soon, Qin Feng saw his senior brother Cao Yu and junior brother Lu Youwei lying on the ground.

Lu Youwei was fine. The corner of his mouth was bleeding non-stop. He seemed to have suffered some internal injuries.

Cao Yu, who was the proud son of Xuanyin Peak, was in a much worse situation. He had a broken arm, and his eyes were blind. He was covered in blood, and he looked like he was hanging on to his last breath..

Qin Feng could not help but feel a lingering fear. If he had agreed to go with him back then, the outcome now would definitely not be any better!

Thinking of the warning from the Glazed Pagoda and the Jade Marrow Pill he had just obtained, Qin Feng thought to himself:

"Could it be that as long as I survive the tribulation, that pagoda will give me benefits?"

If that was really the case, then that would be great. It simply fit Qin Feng's personality perfectly.
