Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine

As the morning sun rose, brilliant rays of light emerged on the horizon, generously shining upon the earth.

In the Azure Firmament Sect, on a spacious and flat, grand-scale martial arts field, stood an old man with snow-white hair, wearing a dark green robe.

The old man gazed into the distance, and saw dozens of outer disciples in yellow robes rushing towards the martial arts field one after another, each with an expression of excitement on their faces.

At that moment, a slightly short young man walked at the end of the crowd, slowly approaching the martial arts field in rhythm with the main group.

Everyone present was born into noble families, but only Ning Lu was alone, without any relatives or friends.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the outer disciples arrived and stood respectfully below the martial arts field.

Hu Danian on the martial arts field slightly nodded, just as he was about to speak, a sarcastic voice from a young man rang out, interrupting the old man's words.

"Miscellaneous disciples should be aware of their place! Go back and do what you should be doing. How dare an ant with such a lowly life practice with us?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the surrounding outer disciples focused on Ning Lu, their expressions filled with amusement and disdain.

A young man with a gloomy face took a big step and stood in front of Ning Lu, his eyes full of contempt, speaking rudely.

The young man, named Gu Bai, was the son of a concubine of Gu Yan, the head of the Gu family, the number one family in Moyang City, and also one of Hu Danian's personal disciples, with a prominent status and high position.

The two young men were about the same age, but Gu Bai's aura was several times stronger than Ning Lu's, and even his height was a full head taller than the latter.

"The sect clearly stipulates that miscellaneous disciples with a cultivation level of high stage Body Tempering Realm can be promoted to outer disciples. I am now wearing a yellow robe, so I am already an outer disciple. Are you questioning the sect's rules and regulations?"

Ning Lu faced the menacing young man without fear, and retorted sharply.

"Hmph! Where does a miscellaneous disciple get the courage to talk to Gu Bai like that?"

"A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers! Offending Gu Bai, I'm afraid he won't have a good life in the future."

"Hmph, today happens to be the martial arts sparring class, wait until he gets on stage, let's see how he fights!"

Everyone around stood on Gu Bai's side, staring at the short young man with contempt, with slander and sarcastic remarks rising all around.

"You?!" Gu Bai was speechless for a moment, gnashing his teeth in anger, not knowing how to respond.

"Xiao Bai! Be polite! Everyone is a fellow disciple, we should get along harmoniously!" The old man with having the demeanor of a wise man on the martial arts field frowned and reprimanded sternly.

"Master?!" Gu Bai turned around and looked at the old man on the martial arts field, feeling a little resentful in his heart, but still forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

The old man's face showed kindness, but a faint coldness flashed in his eyes, glancing at Ning Lu, who was expressionless, and secretly marveling in his heart.

"This kid, at such a young age, knows how to use the sect's rules to suppress people, he is really deep! In any case, I must seize the magic weapon from this kid, and at the same time, I must not involve Xiao Bai in this game, otherwise the consequences will be so severe that even I can't bear it!"

The old man coughed lightly, his eyes softly swept over the crowd below, his old and majestic voice resounding throughout the entire martial arts field.

"Today is our Azure Firmament Sect's once-a-week martial arts sparring class. It just so happens that our sect has added a new outer disciple today. According to past practice, the first battle of this class will be Ning Lu going on stage to draw lots and choose an opponent to compete against."

"There's a good show to watch now!" The surrounding people looked at the lonely Ning Lu with a playful expression.

"Ning Lu, come up, draw a stick, whoever's name is written on it, that's your opponent." The old man looked at the thin young man below the stage, pointing to a cup full of bamboo sticks.

The young man remained calm, stepped onto the stage, and slowly picked a bamboo stick from the cup. Upon closer inspection, he saw three words written on it: Gu Yanzhi.

"Gu Yanzhi! You come and fight Ning Lu in the first match!" The old man walked to the young man's side, stared at the stick in his hand, and then announced loudly.

"Oh my! This kid's luck is really bad! He's probably going to get a beating now."

"Hmph, he deserves it! Who told him to offend Gu Bai?"

"Everyone has witnessed Gu Yanzhi's combat power!"

The outer disciples below the stage talked a lot, and the noisy voices resounded throughout the entire martial arts field.

A young man with fluttering black hair stood beside Gu Bai, respectfully cupped his hands in salute towards Gu Bai: "Young Master! This subordinate will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Well, go! Teach this ignorant kid a good lesson for me!" The young man's mouth almost reached the root of his ears, patted the young man's shoulder, as if he had a sense of satisfaction for revenge.

Gu Yanzhi's original surname was not Gu, but Gu Yanzhi's mother was a servant who stayed in the Gu family all year round. The young man's talent for cultivation was good, so the Gu family gave the young man an opportunity to accompany Gu Bai from a young age, and also gave him the surname Gu.

The young man stepped onto the stage, his eyes bright, his expression solemn, and his eyes were fixed on Ning Lu on the other side of the field with a hint of fierce air.

Hu Danian stood in a corner of the martial arts field, looking at the young man and young man facing each other on the field, and announced loudly.

"Alright, let's begin!"

As soon as the voice fell, Gu Yanzhi waved his hand, his head full of black hair became emerald green, countless vines grew out of his back, and his hands also turned into two extremely thick and extremely flexible vines.

"Look! It's Gu Yanzhi's Wood Spirit Art, it seems he's getting serious!"

"The quality of the Wood Spirit Art is so high, even if Gu Yanzhi only cultivates it to the small success stage, its power is extremely terrifying!"

……

Ning Lu frowned upon seeing this, and began to use "Gravity Art", his hands emitting a light blue glow.

"Hahaha, I'm not mistaken, am I? He's using Gravity Art, this kind of low class technique, to compete on stage?"

"That's right, we have to be considerate of him! After all, he's just a menial disciple, he doesn't have any extra techniques! Hahaha."

As soon as the Gravity Art came out, the outer disciples under the stage burst into laughter, ridiculing Ning Lu's overestimation of his abilities.

The young man on the stage had reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm, his cultivation level was higher than the young man's, and the quality of the technique in his hand was much higher than the young man's. Even though the two had not yet made a move, it seemed that the outcome had already been determined.

Listening to the laughter of the people around him, Ning Lu just sneered secretly in his heart.

"A group of shallow people who have never concentrated on practicing the Gravity Art, how can they know the mysteries of it?"

Gravity Art is the standard for menial disciple. People in the sect are ashamed of this technique, and because the menial disciple have heavy tasks, no one has ever thoroughly studied the Gravity Art.

In fact, Gravity Art is not that unbearable. This is a skill that accumulates over time. If the mastery level is only entry-level or small success, the power of this technique is indeed low.

However, once the Gravity Art is cultivated to great success, or perfection, the practitioner will truly experience the mysteries of it. The power of the Gravity Art that has reached great success is absolutely not to be underestimated!
