I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

"Come with me!"

The three followed Elder Qi into the passage, passing through several natural caves before finally stopping in front of a clear lake.

Ancient pillars stand guard around the lake, firmly locking in the pure medicinal power within and preventing any leakage.

"This is the Hundred Refinement Pool? It truly resembles a spiritual lake brimming with spiritual energy."

Lin Feng's eyes brightened slightly, and he couldn't help but exclaim in a soft voice.

But then Elder Qi said, "The exclusive residence of true disciples also has a Hundred Refinement Pool, and its scale is more than ten times that of this place."

"Absorbing the medicinal power in the pool can temper the physical body, solidify the foundation, and greatly benefit the advancement of cultivation."

"You may now enter the pool to cultivate!"

Just as Lin Feng was about to step forward, Situ Kuang suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait! Lin Feng, do you dare to gamble with me again?"

"bet?"

Lin Feng looked at him with interest and asked, "What are we betting on?"

"The medicinal power in this pool is extremely potent; ordinary disciples can only last for half a day before they must leave."

"If you stay there beyond the allotted time, there is a risk of your body exploding and you dying."

Situ Kuang had clearly planned this all along; he stood with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed.

"Let's bet on who can stay in the pool longer. The stake remains 50,000 spirit stones. Do you dare to accept?"

"You actually have 50,000 spirit stones to your name?"

Lin Feng was slightly surprised. It seemed that Situ Kuang's wealth was far greater than he had expected!

"A mere fifty thousand spirit stones is nothing to me!"

Situ Kuang's face was cold and arrogant, but his heart was bleeding in secret.

At this moment, he only had 80,000 spirit stones left in his storage ring, and his assets had shrunk by more than half compared to before.

Because of the heavy losses, he insisted on taking another gamble in an attempt to recoup his losses.

Are you absolutely certain you'll win?

Lin Feng chuckled inwardly, looking at Situ Kuang as if he were a generous benefactor offering his wealth.

"I have been through countless battles, and my will is as firm as a rock, far surpassing yours."

"Besides, my cultivation level is higher than yours, so I can naturally absorb a greater amount of medicinal power."

Situ Kuang glanced at Lin Feng sideways, his tone deliberately provocative: "What? You don't dare to bet?"

"Since you insist on seeing me off, I shall gladly oblige!"

Lin Feng accepted without hesitation; there was no reason for him to refuse a free spirit stone.

After making a bet, the two stepped into the Hundred Refinement Pool together.

The medicinal liquid in the pool was thick and viscous, resembling a paste or mercury. Everyone had to exert great effort to fully immerse their bodies in it.

"I will activate the formation later to draw the medicinal power from the pool to cleanse your limbs and bones."

Elder Qi solemnly reminded, "Remember to stop when you can! Once you feel that you can no longer continue, you must leave the pool immediately, otherwise the violent medicinal power will shatter your meridians and break through your dantian, which will be extremely dangerous."

"We will heed the elder's teachings!"

Lin Feng and the other two responded in unison.

Elder Qi said no more, took out his elder token, and with a few quick flicks of his fingers, cast several spells in succession.

The once calm and still Hundred Refinement Pool suddenly surged, initially just tiny ripples, but in an instant it turned into a raging torrent.

A powerful and potent stream of pure medicinal energy continuously flowed into the three people's bodies.

The Hundred Refinements Sect is founded on body refinement and possesses countless top-tier body refinement methods.

This Hundred Refinement Pool medicinal liquid was personally prepared by the sect leader and the elders, incorporating countless rare and precious natural ingredients. Its medicinal power is fierce and violent, with a strong aftereffect.

Disciples who cultivate here can use the medicinal power to cleanse and expand their meridians, strengthen their bones and muscles, and cleanse their marrow and meridians, thus steadily improving their cultivation.

Unless one is a newly promoted core disciple, an ordinary person would need to spend a massive amount of sect merit points to obtain a brief opportunity to enter the pool for cultivation.

The next moment, Li Liu couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, her face turning bright red.

The violent medicinal power impacted his meridians, causing him to feel as if his meridians were being torn apart, resulting in excruciating pain.

He gritted his teeth, persevered, and refused to give in easily.

Situ Kuang frowned slightly, but after a moment his expression returned to normal, clearly having adapted to the effects of the medicine.

In contrast, Lin Feng's expression remained calm and undisturbed, his eyes were closed, and he stood steadily in the pool, like an unmoving rock.

He could clearly feel the powerful medicinal force surging and crashing through his limbs and bones like a scalding torrent.

With each cycle of cultivation, the physical body's strength improves by one point, and cultivation level also increases slightly.

The level of pain from this kind of rinsing was negligible to him.

Elder Qi's gaze slowly swept over the three of them, finally settling on Lin Feng, a hint of expectation quietly rising in his eyes.

He wondered to himself how long this exceptionally talented young man could last in the pool.

In the sect's cultivation system, the length of time a disciple persists in the Hundred Refinement Pool is the most direct proof of their talent and potential.

Meanwhile, inside a secluded and elegant cave dwelling within the inner gate.

Besides Wu Qianhong and his group of inner disciples, a figure with an outstanding temperament also sat in the hall—Ji Tianpeng, the top disciple ranked tenth in the inner sect.

His cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, making him a figure that countless inner disciples vied to emulate.

Ji Tianpeng was tall and straight, dressed in a gold-patterned brocade robe, exuding a noble air and the demeanor of a superior.

With a flick of his finger, pills fell precisely in front of Wu Qianhong and the others.

"You have all worked hard these past few days. This is the Heavenly Origin Pill, which can help you hone your cultivation and break through bottlenecks."

"Thank you for the gift, Senior Brother Ji!"

Wu Qianhong and the others were overjoyed and quickly bowed to express their gratitude.

The Heavenly Origin Pill is extremely valuable, with a single pill costing over several thousand spirit stones.

Ji Tianpeng casually gave away more than ten, which shows his considerable wealth.

"No need for formalities! I have seen all of you working for me recently and gathering many experts from various sects for me."

Ji Tianpeng smiled slightly, his expression calm.

"Senior Brother Ji has many talented subordinates. With the opening of this secret realm, Senior Brother will surely gain tremendous opportunities!" Wu Qianhong hurriedly stepped forward to flatter him.

"My cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment for a long time. If I can find a good opportunity in the secret realm, I can break through and enter the Spirit Sea Realm."

As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed in Ji Tianpeng's eyes.

Upon hearing this, everyone was filled with envy.

Among the inner disciples, there are only seven or eight people with the cultivation level of the Spirit Sea Realm, and they are all outstanding members of the sect.

"By the way! Senior Brother Ji, this year's new recruit assessment has produced an extremely troublesome individual."

Wu Qianhong seemed to remember something important and quickly bent down to report.

"A Foundation Establishment Stage 4 cultivator can actually crush Situ Kuang, who is at the Foundation Establishment Stage 7?"

Ji Tianpeng's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was quietly trembling.

Such superior combat power was something even he couldn't achieve back then.

"This boy has astonishing potential; we must be wary. I have a plan to keep him in check..."

Wu Qianhong leaned closer and offered his advice in a low voice.

After hearing the plan, Ji Tianpeng remained indifferent and slowly said, "A mere fourth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator is nothing to fear, but we cannot let our guard down."

"I will proceed according to your plan. If you can recruit this person to my ranks, I will reward you with another Heavenly Origin Pill."

Wu Qianhong was overjoyed and confidently cupped his hands, saying, "Senior Brother Ji, rest assured! Countless disciples in the inner sect dream of following you, but have never had the chance."

"And Lin Feng is just a newly recruited disciple. Having heard of your illustrious reputation as one of the top ten inner disciples, shouldn't he kneel down and thank you, clinging to your leg?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Ji Tianpeng laughed loudly, a smug look flashing in his eyes.
