It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

Many of the remaining people did not become disciples of the Nine Peaks.

He didn't become an apprentice of any elder and could only struggle and struggle at the very bottom of the outer sect of the Qingxuan Sect.

Although they felt dejected, they did not give up on themselves and continued to cultivate diligently to improve their talents.

Sooner or later, it will be noticed and become gold, shining brightly.

The apprenticeship ceremony then concluded successfully.

Chen Ping led a group of Xingyue Peak disciples, headed by Lu Youran, back to Xingyue Peak.

On the way back, Lu Youran said to Chen Ping with concern:

"Uncle-Master, it seems we've completely offended Fire Cloud Peak this time."

"The Fire Cloud Peak Master is notoriously vengeful, and I'm afraid they will retaliate against us Star Moon Peak disciples in the near future."

Chen Ping listened to Lu Youran's words but didn't take them to heart, and smiled faintly:

"It doesn't matter, my senior sister is here, isn't she? She's not someone to be trifled with."

"But……"

Lu Youran wanted to say something more, but was immediately interrupted by Chen Ping.

"It doesn't matter. If it really can't be resolved, I'll step in."

After Chen Ping finished speaking, his tone was calm, and then he strode towards a certain place on Xingyue Peak.

Lu Youran was completely confused.

What does it mean to say you'll take action?

What can you possibly do with someone at the Body Tempering Realm?

It's good enough if they don't cause trouble for Xingyue Peak.

But Lu Youran looked at Chen Ping's disappearing figure with a complicated expression.

The storage ring in her hand, and the Tai Xuan Scripture that Chen Ping had given her, made her realize that Chen Ping was far more complex than he appeared.

She felt that her useless senior uncle was becoming more and more mysterious.

Then Lu Youran probed her storage ring with her divine sense and found a total of five thousand top-grade spirit stones!

This is an enormous fortune!

Although Chen Ping asked her to use these spirit stones to bribe the people around Xingyue Peak

But as the chief, with greater ability comes greater responsibility, so it's not unreasonable for her to take a little more, right?

It's a good opportunity to replenish her rather shabby magic treasure vault, and also buy her a few new robes and clothes.

"Giggle giggle."

Lu Youran let out a burst of silvery laughter that she couldn't stop.

The disciples around her looked at their usually aloof and serious senior sister, Lu Youran.

They were all staring at each other, completely bewildered, with such exaggerated smiles on their faces.

Then, Lu Youran's laughter stopped abruptly, and she waved to a junior sister she was close to.

"Junior sister, I have something to attend to. I'm entrusting this cultivation manual to you. Make a copy and distribute it to every disciple on Star Moon Peak. Remember, it must not be passed on to outsiders."

After saying that, Lu Youran stepped on her flying sword and quickly disappeared from Star Moon Peak.

They flew towards the most bustling trading market of the Qingxuan Sect.

On the other side, Ye Qingxue appeared at the foot of a cliff on Xingyue Peak.

I learned from several Xingyue Peak disciples on the road that Xiao Rufeng was cultivating here.

Following Chen Ping's instructions, Ye Qingxue came to deliver some spirit stones to Xiao Rufeng.

Spirit stones are indispensable for cultivators.

Because the spiritual energy in the world is limited, cultivators need to break through bottlenecks, improve their realm, or cultivate.

A large number of spirit stones must be used to enrich the surrounding spiritual energy in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort and at a faster speed in cultivation.

However, Ye Qingxue was curious about what Xiao Rufeng wanted these spirit stones for.

Isn't he a mortal?

Only after a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage can they absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

She knew that Xiao Rufeng was just a pitiful boy who had been slaughtered by the Blood Demon Sect.

He was younger than her and had no talent whatsoever; he was just an ordinary person.

To be honest, she really couldn't understand why Chen Ming would take Xiao Rufeng as his disciple.

After all, she herself possessed a Heavenly Rank 7 aptitude, so she could only serve as a nominal disciple under Chen Ming.

"Senior Brother Xiao, are you there?"

"My master asked me to come and bring you some spirit stones."

Just then, Ye Qingxue suddenly noticed something strange ahead.

Beneath the waterfall ahead, a large amount of boiling steam was rising.

Ye Qingxue looked puzzled, as if there was magma below that evaporated all the water, creating this scene.

She was filled with doubt and uncertainty, when she witnessed a scene that shocked her beyond belief.

The waterfall plunges three thousand feet, its waves vast and its momentum surging.

The sheer force of the crashing waves is enough to shatter boulders into pieces.

In this terrifying scene, beneath the waterfall, sat a young boy sitting quietly.

The boy crossed his arms, his face grave, struggling to hold on.

His entire body was covered in cracks and mangled by the waterfall.

But he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

This scene shocked and distressed Ye Qingxue.

She could see clearly that the young man was none other than Xiao Rufeng.

That pitiful boy who was left all alone after his village was slaughtered by the Blood Demon Sect.

Xiao Rufeng looked disheveled, miserable, weak, and pitiful that day, which aroused her pity.

Because she shared the same experience as Xiao Rufeng, witnessing her loved ones being brutally murdered before her very eyes.

This hatred, this anger, will never be forgotten.

But Xiao Rufeng at this moment is completely different from that day.

Not only did his aura become increasingly fierce, but his presence also grew even stronger.

He was exceptionally resolute, with an underlying air of overwhelming power.

Upon closer inspection, she was shocked to discover that Xiao Rufeng had already reached the first level of Foundation Establishment!

What?

Ye Qingxue's expression changed drastically, filled with shock.

In just over ten days, he went from a mortal with no cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

How is this possible?!

"Senior Brother Xiao! Senior Brother Xiao!"

Ye Qingxue called out from afar, her face filled with anxiety.

In her eyes, Xiao Rufeng was far too dangerous at that moment.

The waterfall was so powerful that even if she stood beneath it, she wouldn't last long before being severely injured by the force of the current.

Xiao Rufeng was actually fighting back with his life.

Judging from his gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, as well as the numerous wounds on his body, one could tell he was in agony.

Beneath the waterfall, Xiao Rufeng also heard the call and opened his eyes in confusion.

He has already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can sense the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and your body will absorb it autonomously.

He possessed a Saint-level physique, allowing him to absorb spiritual energy at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.

However, the demand for spiritual energy is also extremely large.

Without a massive amount of spiritual energy to support him, he was never able to break through to the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Chen Ping did not summon him, nor did he rashly go to disturb him.

However, not wanting to delay his cultivation, he came to this waterfall to temper his physical body.

The first time he faced the pounding of the waterfall, the excruciating pain almost made him give up.

Strangely, his body healed at an extremely rapid pace after being injured.

And it becomes increasingly resilient.

Xiao Rufeng was secretly delighted.

He had been practicing the Battle Saint Technique for the past few days, so he naturally understood what this meant.

Only a naturally born battle physique combined with the Battle Saint Technique can achieve such an effect.

Even if they are covered in wounds and have lost their last drop of blood, they can instantly recover to their peak condition and become stronger with each battle.

This is the perfect time to refine your physical body.

However, recovery also requires a massive amount of spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy in his body was already on the verge of depletion.

He heard someone calling, and the voice sounded like someone was looking for him.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Rufeng leaped out of the waterfall.
