C25 Long talk and planning

Bird's Cry Mountain North Peak.

Inside the Pill Refining Pavilion, Liu Chengfeng sat cross-legged on the praying mat with his eyes closed. Jiang Cai sat behind him and operated his energy to help him digest the Bone Sculpting Pill and the Spiritfount Pill.

After a while, Liu Chengfeng let out a long breath, and his face started to turn pale.

"Thank you, senior, for treating my injuries."

"Don't thank me, thank yourself!" Jiang Cai stood up and said.

"Don't waste the remaining pills! These are all Rank 5 pills!" It's a good thing that even I can't make it! "

Liu Chengfeng secretly laughed, if even you can't refine it, then that is because you can't!

"What's so special about the Bone Molding Pill and the Spiritfount Pill? I ask for senior's explanation for my foolishness."

"Let's talk about the Bone Molding Pill first. You suffered heavy injuries during the battle, so as long as you have a Bone Molding Pill, even if all the bones in your body are shattered, it will still regrow in a short period of time. Impressive, right? This was simply heaven defying medicine! I don't need to say anything more about the Spiritfount Pill. Its effects are similar to the Bone Sculpting Pill.

"So this pill is actually this powerful!" Liu Chengfeng said in shock.

"That's right! A single pill could be sold for a hundred thousand spiritual stones! You sure picked up a cheap one. "

Liu Chengfeng laughed bitterly in his heart, these few pills were something he had exchanged with his life.

"You should go back and rest early today. If there's anything, I'll call you over." Jiang Cai saw that Liu Chengfeng did not say anything and wanted him to return.

Liu Chengfeng did not refuse, and after bidding farewell to Jiang Cai, he returned to his own residence from the Pill Refining Tower.

He thought that if he wanted to join the Great Void Sect as soon as possible, there was only one way he could. That was to pass the martial arts competition.

He still didn't understand much about the martial arts competition, so he needed to find someone who knew about it to ask. Fu Ping was a pretty good candidate.

Thus, he left the house and walked towards the Southern Peak. The distance between North Peak and himself wasn't too far, it didn't take him long to arrive at Southern Peak. Passing by his Ling Tian, he saw that it had already been changed to another disciple who was managing it. It was just that he did not know when, but the middle level formation that Fu Ping built for him had already changed back to low level. This made Liu Chengfeng a little curious, who would exchange the spirit array back?

When they arrived at Fu Ping's residence, a thatched room was located right next to the Ling Tian. The Ling Tian was enveloped by the light screen emitted by the big formation. It would automatically fertilize and rain to manage the spirit medicine within the Ling Tian.

Liu Chengfeng came to the door of the thatched cottage and shouted.

"Senior Brother Fu Ping."

After a long while, when no one came out from the house, Liu Chengfeng guessed that Fu Ping had probably gone out to purchase some ingredients for the Spirit Circle.

Thus, he found a clean rock and sat down by the side of the house, waiting for Fu Ping's return.

After two hours, Fu Ping finally returned, and he was a little surprised to see him here.

"Why are you here? Why didn't you come in and wait! "

"Who dares to randomly enter the room of a formation master? Who knows, they might fall into his trap the moment they open the door." Liu Chengfeng joked.

"Hahaha, that's true. But I didn't set up any formation, because there's nothing valuable inside. "

The two of them walked into the house while talking and laughing. Inside the house, it was exactly as Fu Ping had said. There was a bed, two stools, a square table with a half-burnt candle on it, and nothing else.

"Sorry, I'm a bit chilled here. Oh right, I still have a pot of wine in the storage bag. " Fu Ping slapped his forehead, removed the storage bag s from his waist and took out a jug of wine from inside, along with two small wine cups.

Fu Ping poured wine into Liu Chengfeng's cup until it was full, and then poured for his own cup. He put down the wine pot and asked.

"Yesterday, when I went to look for you and found that you weren't in North Peak, I heard from the people there that you and the elder went out."

"Senior Jiang and I made a trip to the Xuanqing Palace."

"Yi ~ Not bad, not bad!" How could there be such a good thing! I heard that the Xuanqing Palace is filled with beauties that are as common as the clouds, have you taken a fancy to that? " Fu Ping frowned, and said with a mischievous smile.

"Fuck, we're all cultivators, how could we be attracted by these things?" Liu Chengfeng rolled his eyes at him, raised his head and drank the wine.

"You haven't met anyone who can see the right thing. You'll know when your heart moves." Fu Ping purposely pretended to have a meaningful expression and also drank his cup.

"If you have nothing to say, then just come to the Three Treasures Palace. What is your purpose in visiting me today?" Fu Ping put down his wine cup and asked.

"There is indeed something I need to ask you." Liu Chengfeng did not bother to wipe the corners of his mouth as he directly said, "This time, I came to ask Senior Brother about the martial competition you spoke about last time. I would like to know the details."

"So that's what happened." Fu Ping glanced at Liu Chengfeng and roughly guessed what he was thinking in his heart. He took care of his own business and poured wine into Liu Chengfeng's and his own cup, while speaking.

"There's indeed only one path left for you to become an outer court disciple." Fu Ping paused for a moment before sighing, "Fine, since you're so strong, there shouldn't be a problem."

"Senior apprentice-brother, don't worry."

"Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. However, you must prepare your heart in advance. After all, this kind of recruitment method is too bloody, and the sect didn't interfere with this. Although very few people died in the competition, most of them were crippled. These people were very strong, and most of them had cultivations in Building Foundation Period. meridian expansion stage could not even take the first round of eliminations. " Fu Ping said.

He shot a glance at Liu Chengfeng, and said worriedly, "You are only at the Refinement Realm now, not even at the meridian expansion stage."

Fu Ping's words were very straightforward, although Liu Chengfeng was strong, but in front of all the Building Foundation Period characters, he was still not strong enough. A person's cultivation and strength were often ranked as such.

"When does the martial arts competition begin?" After a while, Liu Chengfeng asked again.

"It's spring tomorrow. It's around the beginning of March."

"It's the middle of November, which means I have less than four months." Liu Chengfeng realized that time was of the essence. Raising his cultivation from Body Refinement Ninth Layer to Building Foundation Period in less than four months was practically more difficult than ascending to heaven.

"Chengfeng, since you've decided to participate in this competition, there's something you need to know. First of all, let me ask you a question. Do you know why the sect allows such a bloody method of recruitment to exist? "

had never thought that Fu Ping casually mentioned that the sect wanted to leave behind a way for those with bad talent but who yearned to join the Great Void Sect. But Fu Ping revealed it again, could it be because of another reason?

"I don't know." Liu Chengfeng shook his head.

"This reason is not a secret, everyone in the competition knows it. Only you don't know. "Hahaha …" Fu Ping suddenly held his stomach and laughed.

"Senior Brother, don't keep us in suspense, hurry up and speak." Liu Chengfeng really wanted to pin Fu Ping down on the ground and beat him up.

"For generations, we, the human race, and the demon race have hated each other. Some important locations were guarded by human armies. However, the border regions of the human race were truly long, so there were a few places that needed people to guard, preventing the demon race from secretly killing their way in. Where did these people come from? It was obviously to send a group of people from the various sects over. Do you think that the sect will let those disciples with good talent but low cultivation go to that kind of dangerous place? " Fu Ping revealed a faint smile, and said.

"That's why they have this method of disciple recruitment. Every single one of them was not weak. Moreover, these people were very old, had rich combat experience, and also had a sensitive sense of smell. It would be best if we can send them to guard the border. "

"Don't these people know how dangerous it is?" Liu Chengfeng asked.

"Of course I know!" People die for money, birds die for food. Do you really not have enough benefits to make those guys who have been feeding on the blade all year round obediently work for you? "

Liu Chengfeng was deep in thought, and he naturally understood the logic behind it.

"So you're saying that if I win and become an outer disciple, I will also be sent to guard the border regions?"

"Yes." Fu Ping raised his wine cup and said, "Cheers!"

After drinking, Liu Chengfeng deeply frowned, and then asked.

"What reward does the sect give?" Is there still a chance to come back? "

"I don't know what the reward is, whether you can come back or not depends on how long you can live over there."

"I see." Liu Chengfeng said.

There really was no such thing as a free pie. The benefits often went with the dangers. The path of cultivation was extremely dangerous, and one could lose their life at any time. Liu Chengfeng already understood the dangers of being a disciple of the Great Void Sect after hearing Fu Ping's words. If he did not go, he would never be able to learn a heaven-defying cultivation technique. As for the rogue cultivators, he had thought about it before, after all the resources that the rogue cultivators would get compared to the resources they would get in the Great Void Sect. Moreover, his cultivation level was not enough for him to safely continue his cultivation. Without the support of a powerful sect, it was still a problem whether he could survive or not.

Thinking about it, Liu Chengfeng made a decision in his heart. He was going to participate in this martial arts competition.

Fu Ping could tell what Liu Chengfeng was planning from the expression on his face, hence he said it sincerely.

"You chose your own path. You have to face the dangers of your path alone."

"I got it, Senior Brother." Liu Chengfeng replied.

The clinking of wine glasses could be heard in the room …

It was already night when Liu Chengfeng returned to the North Peak, and he did not sleep that night.

Since he had arrived in the Birdsong Peak, he had received too many humiliations and was also looked down upon by too many people. Cultivation and strength were too important to him. If he wanted to stand out amongst the many ruthless characters, he needed to increase his cultivation and strength as soon as possible. If he had stayed in North Peak the entire time, although he would have Jiang Cai's help with his trash of a medicine, it would still not be a long-term plan for him.

When Ye Tianjian first went to the depths of the Bamboo Forest Mountain to fight with fierce beasts, he had told him that a battle of life or death was the best way to awaken one's potential. Fighting time and time again would not only increase one's combat experience, it would also stimulate one's own potential. This was also the reason why although Liu Chengfeng's spirit bone was bad, his cultivation did not drop by too much.

"Looks like I'll have to make a trip outside." Liu Chengfeng muttered.

He already had a choice regarding the location of the training grounds, and that was the Scarlet Flame Battlefield that was located in the southeast direction of Mysterious Sky Plain. That was the border between the Xuanwu Clan, Dragon Clan and Wanxiang Manor.

The Scarlet Flame Battlefield was also a place where three sides faced off against each other. It was formed because of the destructive shockwave that swept through the human and demon clan experts during the battle hundreds of thousands of years ago. There was no life left to be found, and the surface of the earth could no longer be found. There were active volcanoes spewing magma everywhere. It was simply an Asura hell! This caused the three factions to be unwilling to stay in this place. However, this kind of place had turned into a paradise for the fugitives.

Not only were there humans, but there were also demons as well. There were even a few non-humankind beings. As for the origin of the alien race, no one knew. They had already existed since the rise of the demon race. The humans had spread that the foreign races were the true aboriginals of the Profound Sky Continent, while the humans and demons were outsiders. As for why there were such rumors, no one could explain.
