A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 424: Training Chamber
The man with the broken arm fell beside the remains of the boar, and watched Duan Rong and his group walk away in the dark forest. There was no resentment in his eyes. He had always hoped that the group would take him away. It was his greatest luck that they could help to get rid of the boar.

The man took a breath, and when his breath recovered a little, he climbed up with difficulty, ignoring the pain of his broken arm, and staggered to the dense forest in the other direction. He wanted to find a hidden tree canopy, hide inside, heal his wounds and regulate his breathing. The bloody smell was too strong, and it would soon attract some ferocious Yuan beasts, so he had to leave as soon as possible.

Although his arm was broken, he managed to save his life.

Those inner disciples who go into the Dark Forest to capture Yuan Beasts without a Cyclone Realm expert to lead the team often suffer casualties, but examples like this where almost an entire team is wiped out are rare. This is already the most extremely tragic situation.

After all, without the support of strong men in the cyclone realm, these inner disciples who formed their own teams usually wandered around the periphery searching and seldom ventured deep into the territory.

Duan Rong and his group have returned to the glowing grassy field. Not far away is a cliff. A row of iron chains as thick as a child's arm are hanging down, emitting a cold black light.

Several people walked to the cliff.

It was already very safe in this grassland. Although the Qingguang grass looked ordinary, the faint light it emitted could blind the eyes of Yuan beasts. Almost no Yuan beasts would step into this grassland.

Duan Rong looked at the iron chain in front of him, feeling a little nervous. He still remembered the scene of falling. At this height, they still had to climb up from this iron chain.

Fan Hongjiao glanced at Duan Rong, stretched out his hand to take the blood bag he was holding, and said: "Junior brother, this is your first time coming down, and your realm is low. I will help you this time."

Before, when there were signs of danger in the forest, Duan Rong was willing to stand in front of her when she was weak and exhausted. At this time, Fan Hongjiao already agreed with Duan Rong in her heart.

Wang Yue held the giant python's corpse and looked at Fan Hongjiao with envy as he took the blood bag from Duan Rong's hand. The blood bag was much lighter than his giant python's corpse.

Fan Hongjiao glared at Wang Yue and said, "Why? You want to switch with me?"

Wang Yue paused for a moment. "I..."

He wanted to exchange it, but Fan Hongjiao had just mocked him for being a woman, so how could he dare to ask for it?

Lu Geng patted Wang Yue on the shoulder and said, "It's just a small snake. For Junior Brother Wang Yue, is this a big deal?"

Wang Yue sighed helplessly. Lu Geng had already achieved the fourth level of Yuan Qi Realm a month ago, but he had not even broken through the third level. To Lu Geng, the corpse of the blue-eyed giant lizard was not a big deal, but to him, the two-legged python was really heavy. It was easy to drag it through the forest, but it was not an easy task to pull the corpse of the giant python and climb up along the iron chain.

But Wang Yue had no choice but to accept it at this time.

After all, he and Lu Geng were just following Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao to get the benefits. The big and dangerous work had already been done by those two people, so he and Lu Geng had to be able to handle the strenuous work.

Several people grabbed the iron chain and began to climb up.

After a while, Fan Hongjiao was already far ahead. Wu Shidao was injured and fell behind Fan Hongjiao by a long distance.

Duan Rong was only slightly behind Lu Geng because he had no burden on his shoulders. As he was climbing, he could see a huge blurry black shadow rising with him not far away. Although there was no light deep in the underground crevice, he could tell that the big guy rising with the falling gravel was the corpse of the blue-eyed monitor lizard.

Behind Duan Rong, there was Wang Yue who was lingering at the end.

It was unknown how long they had been climbing. Although Lu Geng was still holding the corpse of the giant lizard, Duan Rong could no longer see him when he looked up. When he looked down, he could no longer see Wang Yue either.

It seemed as if he was the only one on the cliff in the crevice. Only the occasional falling pebbles reminded him that there were still people on the cliff.

In the dark environment, time passed by like an undercurrent.

Duan Rong's arms were already feeling slightly numb, and it was at this moment that he finally saw a huge blurry black shadow above him.

He caught up with Lu Geng.

At this time, a faint yellow light could be seen above their heads not far away. That was the narrow stone chamber where they jumped down from the crack in the ground.

After all, Lu Geng was pulling the corpse of the giant lizard, so when he reached this point, his speed slowed down significantly.

Lu Geng almost crawled out of the underground crack together with Duan Rong.

The two climbed up and saw Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao already sitting cross-legged in the stone chamber. Above their heads, there were two torches, burning brightly.

Duan Rong turned his head to look at Lu Geng, only to see that he had already pulled the corpse of the giant lizard out of the gap. In the light of the torch, it could be seen that a dense layer of fine sweat had already appeared on Lu Geng's forehead.

The two were both exhausted after climbing up, so they sat cross-legged and began to regulate their breathing, while waiting for Wang Yue who was left at the end.

About an hour later, they had already finished regulating their breathing. Fan Hongjiao stood up and walked back and forth near the gap anxiously.

"Is this kid reliable? Don't fall down!"

Wu Shidao smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you go down and take a look?"

Fan Hongjiao rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "I'm not going. If he can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of having this kid? He has been on the peak for four years and has not yet broken through to the third level of Yuan Qi Realm. He should have been taught a lesson long ago."

This was the consensus of Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao. Wang Yue's cultivation speed was indeed a bit slow. If this kid still couldn't break through the third level this year, the master would not blame Wang Yue, but the two of them.

We need to give this kid some stimulation!
After Fan Hongjiao finished speaking, she heard a faint breathing sound like a bellows coming from the gap. About an incense stick later, a figure finally climbed up with difficulty. Wang Yue's lips were chapped, his whole body was sweating, and the deep part of his throat was like a whistle, making strange wind-pulling sounds from time to time.

Wang Yue climbed up and hugged Fan Hongjiao's feet not far away. Fan Hongjiao looked at Wang Yue's half-dead appearance, reached out and pulled up the body of the two-legged python hanging behind Wang Yue.

Wang Yue then lay on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, his chest heaving up and down, and sweat oozing out of his body.

Fan Hongjiao lightly kicked Wang Yue and said, "Look at your useless look. I'm telling you, Wang Yue, if you can't break through the third level this year, I'll skin you alive."

Wang Yue collapsed there, and seemed to have no reaction after being kicked by Fan Hongjiao.

Wang Yue rested for a long time, and the sound of wind in his throat gradually subsided. He panted for a while, swallowed his saliva, and then lay there and said, "I was almost exhausted to pull this thing up. Halfway through, I wanted to throw the giant python's body down and climb up by myself."

Fan Hongjiao glared at him and said, "You are just a woman! If you dare to throw the giant python's corpse down there, I will throw you down too!"

Wang Yue said with a sad face, "Senior Sister, you don't have to be so cruel. I'm almost dead from exhaustion!"

Fan Hongjiao said, "Tired? Who made you so low in realm? You've been grinding at the third level for more than a year and you're still stuck. I don't see you working hard in your normal training. If you break through the third level and pull something like this up, would you still be tired?"

Wang Yue scolded Fan Hongjiao without any temper. In the four years since he came to Yunfu Peak, the resources have indeed been good, but his cultivation progress is a little unsatisfactory, but that is also very much compared with the others. If compared with the direct disciples of other peaks, he is not worse at all.

"Let's go!" Fan Hongjiao shouted and walked out.

When everyone saw the eldest sister getting angry, they immediately followed her outside. Wang Yue also struggled to get up from the ground, pulling the giant python's corpse on the ground and followed behind.

When the group walked out of the stone door at the end of the corridor, the old man who was sitting cross-legged in the corner was still sitting there. When he saw them coming out, he just glanced at them coldly and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

The old man practiced a kind of Zen. When they pushed open the door on the first floor of the pavilion and walked out, they suddenly felt that the sky was a bit dazzling.

After they took a few greedy breaths, the fresh mountain air immediately filled their lungs and they felt comfortable.

The bright sunshine and fresh air made their hearts surge with joy.

Fan Hongjiao, however, kept walking and led a few people towards the hall on the first floor of the pavilion.

At the entrance of the first floor hall, Fan Hongjiao suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Duan Rong and said, "Junior brother, I will take you to the secret room where our disciples practice!"

"Practice chamber?"

Fan Hongjiao continued, "You have only been at Yunfu Peak for a few days. Bringing you into the training chamber so quickly is already a record-breaking event at Yunfu Peak."

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he said, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for worrying about Duan Rong's affairs."

Fan Hongjiao nodded and continued walking forward.

There is another space behind the spacious hall on the first floor of the pavilion.

The group walked straight in. There were four servants on duty there. When they saw the corpses of the two-legged python and the blue-eyed giant lizard that they dragged in, they didn't seem surprised at all. It was obvious that they were used to these things.

When the servants saw the men approaching, they immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Sir!"

Fan Hongjiao looked at the servants and said, "Open the wooden door and prepare some food. I want to stay in seclusion for a few days."

"Yes!"

The four servants responded, one of them had already walked to a secret mechanism somewhere in the room, the other two had already bent down and left to prepare food. The last one was standing there, bent over, without moving.

The servant turned a secret mechanism somewhere, and the carved wooden wall in front of him suddenly opened, revealing a dark cave entrance hidden behind it.

Duan Rong looked at the cave entrance and his heart moved. The pavilion here was built against the mountain. Behind this hall, according to the direction, was the Yunfu Peak.

With Fan Hongjiao leading the way, several people walked into the cave. After their figures disappeared, the servant in the room turned the mechanism and closed the wooden door again.

After entering the cave and passing through a short corridor, they appeared in a large stone chamber. In the middle of the stone chamber was a huge statue, more than two people tall.

When Duan Rong saw the statue, his eyes jumped. He recognized the statue. It was the statue of Acalanatha.

There are seven stone doors on the stone walls around the statue.

Fan Hongjiao glanced at Lu Geng and asked, "Lu Geng, do you have the keys to the remaining three training chambers?"

"Yes. It's with me."

"Pick a secret training room for Junior Brother later." After Fan Hongjiao finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang Yue and said, "Wang Yue, divide the body."

Wang Yue responded and, holding the butterfly knives, began to slash the corpse like a skilled butcher.

Before long, five piles of body parts of different sizes had appeared on the ground.

Wu Shidao's stall was slightly smaller than Fan Hongjiao's, but he got a snake gall, which was the most lucrative harvest this time.

Lu Geng’s stall also has more than Wang Yue’s.

The division of these resources is obviously related to the level of cultivation. The higher the level of cultivation, the more resources are usually consumed.

Among them, the smallest one was of course Duan Rong's, which consisted of only the claw of a two-legged python, the tail of a blue-eyed monitor lizard, and a bag of blood.

Wu Shidao looked at Duan Rong and said, "Little Junior Brother, don't think that what you have is too little. These things are basically enough for you to practice for half a year."

After the division, everyone took their own resources and went to their own secret training rooms.

Duan Rong followed Lu Geng with his tail and paws lifted up.

Lu Geng used a strangely shaped key to open the door of a stone chamber, then turned around and said with a smile: "Junior brother, please wait here for me. I will take you to the secret room for training after I get the key."

Duan Rong stood there and nodded, "Okay, Senior Brother Lu, please do as you please."

It seems that this secret training room is a rather secluded place, and Lu Geng obviously doesn't want Duan Rong to enter.

Lu Geng entered the secret room and placed the resources he was allocated on the ground. He then stood there, his eyes flashing, and he walked to a box in the corner and started rummaging around. He soon pulled out a wooden box and opened it, revealing three keys covered in verdigris.

Lu Geng hesitated for a moment, selected one of them, then turned and walked out of the secret room.

As soon as Lu Geng left, he smiled and said to Duan Rong, "Come on, Junior Brother, I'll take you to your training room. There are three secret rooms, and I specially chose the largest one for you."

Duan Rong said: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu!"

The two men walked to a stone door. Lu Geng inserted the key in his hand into the hole of some animal-patterned eye and gently rotated it, and the stone cave moved slowly.

Perhaps this secret room had not been moved for a long time. As the stone door trembled, dust and pebbles kept falling down.

Lu Geng fanned the dust in front of his eyes and said, "Junior brother, you can ask the disciples to come in and clean it up later. No one has entered this secret room for a long time."

When the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Geng led Duan Rong inside.

Lu Geng used a tinder to light the candle on the wall. Duan Rong took a quick look and saw that it was indeed a large stone room, but it was covered with dust everywhere.

Lu Geng glanced at Duan Rong, and saw that Duan Rong was holding a claw and a tail, so he said, "Junior brother, let me teach you how to preserve the flesh and blood of these Yuan beasts first, okay?"

"How to save it?" Duan Rong's eyes moved.

Lu Geng said: "This meat contains the heaven and earth essence refined by the Yuan Beasts. It is easier for practitioners to absorb and can nourish the Dantian meridians. But after these Yuan Beasts die, the heaven and earth essence contained in their flesh and blood will slowly dissipate, so how to preserve it is also very important."

As Lu Geng spoke, he came to the corner of the secret room and turned the animal head there.

Then, I saw a narrow stone door opened on the wall.
