Qingyuan Immortal Palace

For any sect and immortal cultivation force in Linglan Mountain, the most important thing is to protect the growth of their core disciples.

This caused high-level monks to continue to appear in the sect, so as to maintain the long-term prosperity of the sect.

As for those Qi Refining Stage disciples with average spiritual root qualifications and average overall strength, they are dispensable and cannon fodder.

Anyway, such people are everywhere in the world of immortality. As long as they are given a little benefit and hope, they can be recruited at any time.

If Fang Yang didn't have this important treasure with him, he would probably be struggling like other ordinary qi cultivators.

Each sect in Linglan Mountain strongly encourages its disciples in the Qi Refining Stage to participate in this dangerous treasure hunt.

Not only would this bring certain treasures to the sect, but the surviving disciples would also be trained in real combat, which would also help to improve the sect's strength.

As for the monks who died because of this, the sect would not care too much except for a small amount of compensation.

The loss of these manpower is really insignificant to the sect.

Of course, if such a disciple can pass this bloody trial, such a disciple will definitely be valued by the sect.

The monks from other sects will also look at him with admiration.

The management of the six major sects will reward disciples who can pass the test heavily.

Even those who sign up to participate will be rewarded with a high-grade magic weapon.

Some sects announced that all monks who came out of the valley alive, regardless of whether they found the target treasure, would be regarded as elite disciples for key training, and could even receive guidance from an elder in the pill formation stage.

On the road to immortality, these monks are bound to avoid many detours.

He Dong was such a monk back then, so he became a disciple of Elder Jindan and became a foundation-building monk.

Wanxiang Sect, like other Linglan Mountain sects, has sect competitions every ten years.

And almost all of them are chosen half a year before the Xuanyin Devil's Cave opens. Obviously, this is also a means to encourage many disciples to enter the Xuanyin Devil's Cave.

Thinking about it, those disciples who had just missed out on the Foundation Establishment Pill because of the sect competition would definitely have the urge to fight for their lives at this time.

And if time drags on for a long time, I'm afraid many people will think more rationally, and there will definitely be many fewer people participating in this near-death trial.

As for Fang Yang and the other three, they also continued to improve their cultivation before the secret realm opened.

This time they gained a lot of insights in the sect competition against the elites of all sects.

After a period of breath adjustment, and with the help of many of his elixirs, Fang Yang had reached the peak of the eleventh level of Qi training.

Nuo Po's cultivation level was similar to Fang Yang's, while Zhang Lin had reached the late stage of the twelfth level of Qi training.

However, although Zhang Lin Xiuwei was slightly better than Fang Yang and the others, his ranking in this competition was the lowest among the three.

This also exposed his shaky foundation.

Therefore, Zhang Lin did not deliberately improve his cultivation, but stepped up to make his cultivation more stable.

Just a few days before departure, Fang Yang unexpectedly discovered that Xie Xueyi, who had won the first place in the sect competition and successfully became the sect of Yuanying Ancestor, was also going to participate in this trip to Xuanyin Demon Cave.

Fang Yang couldn't help being surprised. "Why does she want to go?"

Disciples who participate in the Xuanyin Demon Cave Trial must register at the Wanxiang Sect Lingkui Peak Merit Hall, which is the final confirmation.

This is where Fang Yang saw Xie Xueyi.

This really shocked Fang Yang.

You must know that Xie Xueyi not only has the Foundation Establishment Pill, but also has a master in the Nascent Soul stage.

Now that her seniority is the same as that of the Golden Core cultivator, her appearance suddenly caused an uproar among many people who signed up.

Xie Xueyi also saw Fang Yang's surprise and just gave Fang Yang a shallow smile.

Although it was a smile, Fang Yang could also see Xie Xueyi's helplessness, because the smile was clearly bitter.

Fang Yang didn't speak to Xie Xueyi, and only smiled back at her.

On the surface, Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi are mortal enemies in the ring, but privately they are secret partners.

Of course, Fang Yang and Xie Xueyi couldn't reveal it, otherwise if the two of them teamed up to manipulate the sect's competition and let the sect know about it, I'm afraid they would face the wall for ten years at the least, or their cultivation would be abolished and they would be expelled from the sect.

Xie Xueyi hurriedly signed up and left quickly. Obviously she didn't want to be too high-profile.

Fang Yang knew he couldn't say hello to her, so he just walked into the Hall of Merit silently.

At this time, there was a strange sound coming from the side.

"Hey, isn't this the great monk Fang who defeated all the heroes?"

Fang Yang's defeated generals Zhao Li and Li Hu were seen walking slowly.

They were accompanied by a few minions, looking like bullies.

"Hahaha, I think my qualifications are too poor. It's difficult to succeed with just one Foundation Establishment Pill. I'm afraid I'm going to compete with other disciples for the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Li Hu said in a strange and sinister manner. His words were so heart-breaking that many of the Qi-training monks who signed up together gave Fang Yang vicious looks.

"Senior Brother Li's words are different!" Fang Yang said with a faint smile, not afraid of his vicious words.

"I share the same spirit with other senior brothers. I dare to swear on my inner demons that as long as the senior brothers of my sect do not harm me, I will definitely protect the interests of the sect. If I want to fight for it, I will fight with other sects. I can guarantee this."

Fang Yang's words made many disciples who signed up feel relieved.

They knew that Fang Yang was very powerful, and if Fang Yang was determined to steal from them, most of them would probably die in Fang Yang's hands.

And now that Fang Yang said this, it also gave them reassurance.

And it is also a good thing to have Fang Yang, a fellow disciple with great strength.

Fang Yang smiled again, "Two senior brothers, this time you have extraordinary talent and have obtained the foundation-building pill. You should go to retreat and impact your realm. Although my and other senior brothers have poor talent, fortunately, our hearts to seek the Tao are as strong as iron, and we are not afraid of the dangers of the demon cave. I hope that one day I can catch up with the two senior brothers."

Fang Yang's words were also extremely vicious. Although he said it beautifully on the surface, he pointed out that the two people's hearts to seek the Tao were not strong, and they only knew how to be like flowers in a greenhouse in their nest.

This not only resolved the two people's vicious plan, but also left a shadow on their Tao hearts.

If it is usually okay, if such a situation occurs at the critical point of cultivation, it may cause great disasters.

"You~~~you, a lowly cultivator, dare to talk nonsense in front of me."

Li Hu was furious, and a spiritual weapon flying sword suddenly came out with his hand.

Fang Yang did not dare to neglect it. In an instant, the Qingfeng Ding blocked in front of him, and the Leihuo Jinguang Sword also rushed out and chopped on Li Hu's flying sword.

With a sound of "clang~~", Li Hu was forced to retreat several feet and was slightly injured.

Li Hu wanted to attack, but suddenly a strong sense of oppression fell from the sky.

"Jindan cultivator!" Fang Yang reacted in his heart at once, and immediately put away the spiritual weapon and stood respectfully.

Then a golden light fell from the sky. The man who came looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a very serious face, as if everyone owed him tens of thousands of spiritual stones.

This person was Li Chunqiu, the Jindan elder of Wanxiang Sect, and also the ancestor of Li Hu's family.

"Such a fight in the sect's merit hall is out of order."

Li Chunqiu's voice was like rolling thunder, which made people tremble in their hearts.

"Ancestor~~ You have to make the decision for me!"

Li Hu was completely without the arrogance and domineering in front of Li Chunqiu, and he even complained first.

"Hmph~~ Are you Fang Yang?" The majestic voice accompanied by a huge pressure made Fang Yang feel like a huge stone weighing down on him.

Fang Yang had to use all his strength to stimulate his true essence, so he didn't fall to the ground directly.

"Disciple~~ Meet the Grandmaster~~" Fang Yang said with difficulty.

"Kneel down! Kneel down immediately to apologize to Li Hu!"

The huge voice and the strong pressure made Fang Yang have the urge to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy.

Although Fang Yang's heart of seeking the Tao was firm, if he was insulted like this today, I'm afraid that his mentality for future cultivation would be greatly affected.

So Fang Yang secretly used the Invisible Art, and his mind was constantly strengthened, so he resisted the pressure of the Jindan cultivator.

"Well! You bastard, kneel down quickly! Do you want me to take action?" Li Chunqiu's threat made many Qi training cultivators present sweat.

You must know that the Jindan cultivator has great authority in the sect. Even if Li Chunqiu killed Fang Yang, he would at most face the wall, and the sect would not punish him for it.

Facing Li Chunqiu's bullying, many brave Qi training cultivators were furious, but dared not speak.

"Grandmaster~~~Have you ever heard~~a~~word?" Fang Yang used the Invisible Art to the extreme, and was able to speak today under the strong pressure of the Jindan cultivator.

"What words?" Li Chunqiu asked angrily.

"Don't bully the poor young man!"

Fang Yang almost used his greatest strength, and in the face of huge pressure, he actually said a word that frightened everyone present, but also made their blood boil!

"Bold, are you threatening me? Okay, I will kill you today to eliminate future troubles!"

As Li Chunqiu was about to kill, at this moment, a powerful spiritual power came.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Li, you are bullying the Qi training kid again. Is the sect's ancestral precepts a fart in your mind?"

The person who came was the Jindan cultivator Xie Dechen, who flew in front of Fang Yang at a very fast speed.

"Hmm? Middle Jindan? Brother Xie, have you made a breakthrough?" Li Chunqiu looked surprised and doubtful.

"It's mainly because my daughter is well-behaved. She won the first place in the sect for me and obtained the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum."

Xie Dechen said lightly, but revealed a kind of pride from the heart.

"What do you mean today, brother? Are you going to embarrass me?"

Li Chunqiu was only in the early Jindan stage, and he didn't have much confidence to speak to Xie Dechen, who was already in the middle Jindan stage.

"How dare I say embarrassment, it's just the matter of the younger generation in the Qi Refining stage, we old men shouldn't get involved."

Xie Dechen smiled and said, "Besides, you bully the younger generation in the sect, you are so ventless, if the closed-door ancestor knows, I'm afraid he will catch you and put you in the ancestral hall."

Although Li Chunqiu is not afraid of Xie Dechen, he is still very afraid of the Yuanying ancestor.

You have to know that Xie Dechen's daughter is the disciple of the Yuanying ancestor. If she gives him some strong medicine when she sees the Yuanying ancestor, I'm afraid he will have a lot to worry about.

Thinking of this, Li Chunqiu had to give up.

He sent a voice message to Li Hu: "Go to the Merit Hall to exchange for spiritual medicine, and then retreat to become a foundation-building cultivator."

He snorted and flew away on his sword, and Xie Dechen also turned into light and left.

Although Li Hu was arrogant, he dared not disobey Li Chunqiu's words, and immediately left with Zhao Li and the others in disgrace.

However, the story of Fang Yang's hard fight against the Jindan cultivator also spread in the sect. Everyone couldn't help but scold Li Chunqiu for being shameless, and at the same time, they respected Fang Yang more.

At night, Xie Xueyi still wore a black veil and secretly went up to Wanmu Peak.

Because of her father, she had the pass token of the Jindan elder on her body, which allowed her to enter and exit the major peaks at will.

And with her status, basically no one dared to cause trouble to her.

In addition, her father Xie Dechen recently broke through the middle stage of the golden elixir, and his strength increased greatly, so her status naturally increased a lot.
