The Devil's Tribulation

Red Mountains. I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark. Pan Chengfeng finally woke up slowly, and the first sound he made was wailing: "It hurts! Ah~ My whole body hurts! But it feels so good to be alive!" Pan Chengfeng felt the condition of his body: "Fortunately, I am a body cultivator! With this recovery ability, it seems that I can move in a while." Sure enough, after another half an hour, Pan Chengfeng got up with difficulty, looked at the snake demon with a dagger still stuck in it, and said with a strange expression: "I thought I was already very unlucky, but I didn't expect you to be more unlucky than me. I just stabbed you in the heart." Then Pan Chengfeng smiled: "But don't worry, I will do what I said, and I will definitely eat snake soup. Your body will definitely not be wasted."

Pan Chengfeng felt around and didn't see any other monsters, so he felt relieved and said, "It seems that you are the overlord of this area. Other snake monsters dare not come over, otherwise your life or death will be in danger." After resting for a while, Pan Chengfeng felt that he had recovered some strength, so he picked up the snake monster and staggered towards the snake's den.

Returning to the snake's den, Pan Chengfeng was still a little unsure: "Will there be another snake demon in here?" But after looking around, he finally gritted his teeth and dragged the snake demon in. He cast a fireball spell and lit up the snake cave passage. Pan Chengfeng walked in carefully until he saw the dragon's neck root. He said excitedly: "It's the dragon's neck root. It's not in vain!" He put the dragon's neck root into the storage ring and continued to go deeper into the snake cave: "How deep is it? I have walked about 200 meters, right? Why is it so deep? These snakes like to hide in such deep underground?" Fortunately, after walking for about a few dozen meters, he finally reached the snake's den. Pan Chengfeng smiled after seeing it: "I didn't expect it to be so big inside! But the light is not very good." What light? There is no light at all! But Pan Chengfeng didn't care, and said happily: "It seems that I need to make some modifications. I will practice here in the future." The snake's den is about a space of five meters in length, width and height. The python demon should usually rest here and guard the dragon's neck root by the way, but now Pan Chengfeng has a good deal.

Since he decided to practice here, Pan Chengfeng immediately modified the snake cave. The biggest project was to dig another road to ventilate the snake cave. For Pan Chengfeng now, digging a 200-meter passage was still very simple. An hour later, the passage was dug, and Pan Chengfeng started to boil oil. He hadn't been so hungry for a long time. Although this python only weighed about 3,000 pounds, it had a lot of meat.

In the Beast Taming Sect, Gu Qingfeng covered his chest and was reporting to Liu Qian what happened. After listening, Liu Qian asked expressionlessly: "So, the guy ran away before you arrived? You chased him all the way, and then was sent back by the wolf leader, and you were injured?" Gu Qingfeng nodded in shame. It was a piece of cake for a spirit transformation cultivator to kill a Qi training cultivator. Now he didn't kill the person, and he got himself injured. It was really embarrassing. Liu Qian was silent for a while and said: "Okay, you go down, take this pill to heal your wounds." Gu Qingfeng took the pill, bowed his hands in shame and said: "Disciple failed to complete the ancestor's order, how dare I take the pill again? Please take it back, ancestor." Liu Qian closed his eyes and said nothing. Gu Qingfeng waited for a while, and then consciously retreated. It was not until he was outside the cave that Gu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: "This is good, I don't have to be the bad guy."

After Gu Qingfeng left, Liu Qian opened her eyes and said calmly, "You know everything?" A gray shadow gathered in front of Liu Qian, and then an old man with half gray hair appeared. He was another ancestor of the Beast Taming Sect, Qiu Wanren. Qiu Wanren glanced at her senior sister and sighed, "Senior sister, you still can't let it go?" Liu Qian said with a guilty conscience, "Why? I'm dealing with a Qi training kid, what's there to be worried about?" Qiu Wanren said, "Senior sister, you know what I'm talking about." Liu Qian's face suddenly changed, and she shouted, "Qiu Wanren! I warn you to stay out of my business!"

Qiu Wanren was not afraid and continued, "If Senior Sister could let it go, with Senior Sister's aptitude, she could have broken through more than a thousand years ago. How could she have been stuck in the Perfect Fusion Realm? Master back then..." Liu Qian dodged and slapped Qiu Wanren in the face. Qiu Wanren was prepared and ducked to avoid the slap. Liu Qian did not continue to pursue. She glared at Qiu Wanren and regained her indifferent expression and said, "This matter is entirely for Xin'er's sake. Don't get involved with my business!"

Qiu Wanren looked at Liu Qian's pretty face and said, "It seems that the boy is very lucky. We don't understand the emotional affairs of young people, so why bother..." Liu Qian turned around and shouted, "Shut up! I'm doing this for Xin'er's sake! That boy is not worthy of Xin'er in any way. Let him die soon and be reborn soon! Let Xin'er stop thinking about it and reach the peak soon!" Qiu Wanren saw that he couldn't change Liu Qian's mind, so he said helplessly, "Xin'er is the future hope of our Beast Taming Sect. Of course, I also hope that she will become a talent soon and fulfill our and Master's long-cherished wish." After a pause, Qiu Wanren continued, "Xin'er is still young now. Wouldn't it be better to let nature take its course?" Liu Qian looked icy, returned to her seat and sat down again without saying a word. Seeing this, Qiu Wanren could only leave helplessly. He had said everything he should and shouldn't say, and could only hope that the boy would have a good life.

Pan Chengfeng didn't know that his life had been targeted by the powerful combined body. He had just finished eating the snake soup and began to check his body: "It seems that I have recovered well. I should be able to fully recover in two days. Then I will start training. First, I will reach the third level of the body training realm, and then practice the Overlord Fist with the help of spiritual herbs! After that, I will go out into the world and try my luck!"

Thinking of practicing Overlord Fist, Pan Chengfeng hurriedly took out all the spiritual herbs in the storage ring and counted them: "There are enough spiritual herbs for practicing Overlord Fist, but there are still many spiritual herbs for promotion. Moreover, I feel that the spiritual herbs are not enough every time I advance. It seems that I need to prepare more blood and spiritual herbs for promotion this time!" Pan Chengfeng felt that he was not full every time he advanced, just like he was only 40% full and not satisfied. He felt that his body should be able to continue to absorb, but although Uncle Niu prepared more the first time, it was still not enough. The second time Pan Chengfeng prepared it himself, it was just enough for the promotion.

Pan Chengfeng took out the 'Hunyuan Body Refining Technique' and looked through it: "The technique doesn't record the exact amount to be used. It only says how many kinds of auxiliary spiritual herbs and main medicines are needed, and there is no specified time... As for blood, it only says that one level higher than your own will do, and it doesn't say how much." Pan Chengfeng pondered for a while and said: "According to what Master said, the longer the time, the better." After thinking for a while, Pan Chengfeng made up his mind: "Okay! This time, I will prepare ten portions of spiritual herbs! Ten portions of demon blood, let's see how far I can go!!"

Pan Chengfeng stood up. Anyone could feel the determination in his eyes. Pan Chengfeng shouted, "I must become stronger! I want to stand at the top of this world! I can marry whoever I want! I can marry as many as I want! Only then will my rebirth be worthwhile!" He set a flag for himself. The cave was quiet and no one responded to him. Pan Chengfeng shouted in vain. Finally, he sighed, "Forget it, I'd better take a nap before I become stronger and take good care of my body. The body is the capital of the revolution!" After that, he fell asleep.

Pan Chengfeng was really tired today, not only because of the injury, but also because of overcoming the psychological shadow. Although he is still a little scared of snakes, he no longer has the goose bumps. How can he be more scared when he is entangled by a snake? What's more, he has already eaten the snake soup, so what is there to be afraid of?

After sleeping till dawn, Pan Chengfeng still felt a little sore all over, but it was much better than last night. Before he even opened his eyes, Pan Chengfeng's heart suddenly shook! He jumped up and shouted, "Who!" In the darkness, a figure was sitting cross-legged. Pan Chengfeng could only vaguely sense that it was a person. He thought to himself, "I didn't even notice someone was so close to me. Is my spiritual sense not working?" Pan Chengfeng called his inexplicable sixth sense "spiritual sense", which was quite appropriate.

A low voice with a hint of laughter rang out: "Are you the Chengfeng that Xin'er talks about every day? You are quite alert, no wonder you can escape Gu Qingfeng's pursuit at the Qi training stage. It seems that you have a secret." The figure paused and continued: "Oh? ~ You have a strong body, perfect mental strength, and you are also a physical practitioner? Rare, rare." Pan Chengfeng was sweating profusely. The person who came saw through him at a glance. He was horrified, but still asked in a deep voice: "Who are you and how do you know Xin'er?!" Uncle Niu always appeared in front of him silently before, but he knew that Uncle Niu had no ill intentions, so he was not afraid. This time, someone else appeared like this, and Pan Chengfeng was a little scared. However, anyone who was treated like this would be lucky if they were not scared to death.

The figure smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I wanted to harm you, but you still woke up? You know how to find a place. I spent half the night looking for it." Pan Chengfeng felt relieved when he heard the figure's words. He bowed and said, "Senior, do you have something to ask me?" Seeing that Pan Chengfeng calmed down so quickly, the figure nodded and said, "I also thought about it for half a night before deciding to come to you. I hope I am right." Pan Chengfeng was even more puzzled. A master who is even more of a master suddenly appeared and said that he hoped he was right? Pan Chengfeng asked doubtfully, "Please explain clearly, senior. I'm a little confused." The figure said, "I don't have that much time to explain. It's not easy for me to come out, and I was discovered by those old guys by mistake." After that, he threw a copper coin to Pan Chengfeng, who caught it and thought to himself, "Are you here to reward me? Or to get rid of a beggar?" The figure said, "This coin has my mark on it. You go to the 'Yu Lei Sect' and find a boy named Qiu, and say that I asked you to go." The figure stood up and said, "After you join the Yu Lei Sect, you must practice well. Only then will you have a chance. A casual cultivator will never have a chance. For Xin'er's future, I'm spending a lot of money this time!" After that, he glanced at Pan Chengfeng again, and the figure disappeared.

Pan Chengfeng looked at the copper coins in his hand, feeling somewhat puzzled, but he could roughly guess what was going on, thinking to himself: "He is from the Beast Taming Sect? Why would he help me? And he knows Xin'er, oh! I forgot to ask how Xin'er is doing now!" Pan Chengfeng was a little confused and thought: "Why did you ask me to go to the Thunder Taming Sect?"

The person who came was Qiu Wanren. Seeing that he could not persuade his senior sister, he had to find a way to save Pan Chengfeng's life. Originally, he just didn't want Xin'er to be alienated from the sect because of this matter in the future. Now after seeing Pan Chengfeng, he felt that he might have made the right bet this time: "He is a good boy. His realm can be cultivated slowly, but his character and courage are not so easy to cultivate. I hope the Yu Lei Sect can protect him."

In the Beast Taming Sect, Qiu Wanren walked into his cave. A middle-aged monk with a red nose, dressed in rags and wearing a green felt hat on his head, was as weird as it could be. It seemed that he had been waiting for Qiu Wanren inside for a long time. When he saw Qiu Wanren coming back, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Brother Qiu, have you done the work?" Qiu Wanren's face froze: "Why are you so impatient! I will give it to you as soon as I say it! What do you mean by waiting here?" The weirdo smiled and said: "I am addicted to alcohol, am I not addicted to alcohol? Waiting here shows that Brother Qiu's skills are extraordinary, and it really tempts me to drink!" Qiu Wanren casually threw out a wine jar and said: "This is the only one, there will be no more in the future! After so many years of friendship, you still ask me for wine for a small favor!"
