The Devil's Tribulation

In the East City Inn, Pan Chengfeng's guest room, after taking inventory of his gains, Pan Chengfeng put the middle-grade crystal beads and the long sword into the big storage ring, put the low-grade crystal beads and other things into the small storage ring, and finally put the space bag into his arms. After sorting, Pan Chengfeng took out the "Hurricane Slash" and began to practice. There are five levels in the Hurricane Slash. According to the records of the technique, each level corresponds to a realm. The first level is the Qi training realm, and the fifth level is the spirit transformation realm. As long as the technique breaks through to the fifth level, you can enter the spirit transformation realm.

Pan Chengfeng took out the half-absorbed middle-grade crystal bead and started to practice the first level of the technique. He frowned and said, "This method of sealing the cultivation is really troublesome. I will try to see if the blood and qi can break through it!" Then, Pan Chengfeng circulated his blood and qi and rushed to the sealed acupuncture points. With a pop, it was broken effortlessly. Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "What a rubbish sealing technique. It is nothing in front of my body refining technique!" He tried to circulate his true qi and it was unobstructed. Pan Chengfeng closed his eyes and began to absorb the crystal bead.

The next day, Pan Chengfeng, who was meditating, suddenly felt a shock around his body. Green ripples slowly spread out, and Pan Chengfeng opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "It's only been five hours and I've broken through. The mid-grade crystal beads are really treasures." Pan Chengfeng absorbed the mid-grade crystal beads for five hours and directly broke through to the fourth level of Qi training. He looked at the crystal beads in his hand: "I absorbed half of the previous one, and I still have one third left of this one. It seems that it will take me about six hours to absorb a mid-grade crystal bead. It doesn't seem very fast~" Just as he was about to continue practicing, there was a knock on the door, and a voice came from outside: "Young Master, that person...that person wants you to go over." Pan Chengfeng was delighted: "It looks much better. I'll be over right away." Pan Chengfeng got up, tidied his clothes, and walked next door.

After entering the room, I saw Shuang'er standing by the bed and Li Qian'er meditating. I thought to myself, "It seems that I have recovered well in the past few hours." Sensing Pan Chengfeng's arrival, Li Qian'er also opened her eyes and said, "Congratulations, fellow Taoist, on your further improvement." Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "I can't mention my little Taoist skill in front of you. Can you be more careful, fellow Taoist?" Li Qian'er shook her head and said, "It's suppressed for the time being, but it may relapse at any time. I need to go to Qingxu Town to buy some spiritual medicine to refine the Red Fire Pill, otherwise I will be powerless to save it if it relapses next time."

Pan Chengfeng was worried when he heard this, "Is it that serious?" Li Qian'er nodded and said, "It shouldn't recur in the near future, but we still have to find all the spiritual medicines to make pills as soon as possible. I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can agree to it." Pan Chengfeng thought that he wanted to accompany her to Qingxu Town, so he nodded and said, "As long as I can do it." But to Pan Chengfeng's surprise, Li Qian'er didn't talk about this, but said, "Your maid is very suitable for practicing my fire attribute skills. I hope you can let her worship me as your master, and I will teach her wholeheartedly."

Pan Chengfeng and Shuang'er both dropped their jaws at the same time. Seeing the same expression on their faces, Li Qian'er asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist, don't you agree?" Shuang'er glanced at Pan Chengfeng and saw that he was frowning. Thinking that Pan Chengfeng didn't want to, Shuang'er turned to look at Li Qian'er and said, "If the young master doesn't want to, Shuang'er won't practice with you." Hearing Shuang'er's words, Pan Chengfeng was moved and said hurriedly, "Who said I don't agree? I'm so happy! But..." Li Qian'er was also very happy to see Pan Chengfeng give in. When she heard that there was still a but, she hurriedly asked, "But what? If you have any requirements, just say it."

Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "Request? I ask you to share a husband, will you agree?" Pan Chengfeng said, "Shuang'er can't leave me, and I can't take you as my master, but I can let you become sworn sisters. This request is not too much, right?" Li Qian'er seemed to have heard something extraordinary, and asked with eyes wide open, "Sisters?" Pan Chengfeng nodded and said, "Yes, we are sisters. Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage if I were to be lower in generation than you?"

Li Qian'er rolled her eyes wildly. What's the logic? Wouldn't she be of a lower generation? He said decisively: "It's impossible, and the family skills cannot be passed on to outsiders, not even to sworn sisters!" Seeing Li Qian'er so determined, Pan Chengfeng rolled his eyes and changed his words: "However, I can take a step back and become your disciple, but how about calling each other sisters in daily life?" How could Li Qian'er know Pan Chengfeng's little calculations? She thought to herself: "If we have performed the apprenticeship ceremony and then call each other sisters, it is not unacceptable." Li Qian'er said: "It's just a title, I have no objection." Pan Chengfeng said happily: "Shuang'er! Hurry up and become your disciple!" Shuang'er looked at Pan Chengfeng, Pan Chengfeng nodded, and then gave him an encouraging look. Shuang'er looked at Li Qian'er again, and Li Qian'er also looked at her with a smile and asked: "Shuang'er, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Shuang'er was so moved that tears suddenly flowed down her cheeks. Pan Chengfeng said anxiously, "Shuang'er, why are you crying again? Hurry up and become your disciple. Once you become your disciple, you will have someone to back you up in the future! Isn't your great revenge something that your master can do with just a wave of his hand?" Shuang'er said, "Shuang'er has a hard life, but God still takes good care of her. First, she met the young master, and now she has a sister. Shuang'er will avenge her own revenge!"

Li Qian'er was also happy and said, "Okay, when you have cultivated successfully, you can take revenge on your own." Shuang'er came to Li Qian'er, knelt on both knees and said, "Gu Lingshuang pays respects to the master!" After that, she kowtowed three times. Li Qian'er took Shuang'er's hand and asked her to sit next to her. She touched her head and said, "Okay Shuang'er, from now on, we can call each other sisters. You call me sister and I call you Shuang'er. I don't like others calling me old either." Hearing this, Pan Chengfeng remembered what he had said about her being an old woman before, and thought to himself, "Do women care so much about age?"

The sisters separated, and a red dress appeared out of thin air in Li Qian'er's hand. She handed it to Shuang'er and said, "Shuang'er, I don't have anything good, so this colorful feather dress is a gift for you. It's a protective spiritual weapon that can resist the attacks of Jindan cultivators." Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "A Yuanying cultivator is a Yuanying cultivator. He just gave me a spiritual weapon." Shuang'er happily accepted the gift and said, "Thank you, sister." Then she looked at Pan Chengfeng. Pan Chengfeng's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "Are you asking for a gift?"

Pan Chengfeng didn't have anything to give as a gift, but seeing that Li Qian'er was also looking over, Pan Chengfeng knew he couldn't play dumb anymore, and took out the space bag with heartache and said, "This is a space bag. Although the space is a little small, it's enough for you to use. It's considered a celebration of having a good master." Shuang'er excitedly took the space bag, kissed Pan Chengfeng on the cheek and said, "Thank you, young master!" Pan Chengfeng was shocked, and Li Qian'er was also dumbfounded. When Shuang'er saw Pan Chengfeng's reaction, she remembered that her master was still beside her. Her face turned red, and she lowered her head, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

After the embarrassment, Li Qian'er spoke first: "Daoyou, since Shuang'er is my disciple and you are Shuang'er's master, we are half family. I have another matter and need your help." Pan Chengfeng thought to himself: "Anything else?" Pan Chengfeng said: "Daoyou, please tell me." Li Qian'er said: "I am unable to move now, but I need spiritual herbs to make pills. Can you help me buy some spiritual herbs?" Pan Chengfeng thought to himself: "So that's it. Although I don't lack resources for cultivation for the time being, I will have to go to Qingxu Town sooner or later to see the world. Helping her is convenient, but I can't agree so easily."

After thinking it over, Pan Chengfeng replied, "No problem. I just want to go there, but I have some questions I want to ask you." Li Qianer also said generously, "Please ask, fellow Taoist." Pan Chengfeng seized the opportunity and asked all the questions he wanted to ask. Finally, he asked, "Is the talisman just used like this? So simple?" Li Qianer didn't know how to describe her feelings. She thought Pan Chengfeng was going to ask some tricky questions, but she didn't expect that they were all some basic knowledge of cultivation. She thought to herself, "Is he really a casual cultivator? These questions are all basic knowledge, but he doesn't know them all. A high-level body cultivator, his cultivation level is only the fourth level of Qi training." Seeing Pan Chengfeng's anxious face, Li Qianer nodded and said, "Yes, as long as it is a talisman, you only need to inject true qi or true essence to activate it."

Pan Chengfeng took out the long sword again and asked, "Is this sword a spiritual weapon?" Li Qian'er said speechlessly, "Yes, it's a low-grade spiritual weapon. It's good for dealing with cultivators below the Jindan level." Pan Chengfeng was stunned: "Below the Jindan level? That means it's useless above the Jindan level?" Li Qian'er said, "Low-grade spiritual weapons can't break the protective true qi of cultivators above the Jindan level, but they are still of great help to disciples who are practicing qi and building foundations." Pan Chengfeng said disdainfully, "Shuang'er, I'll give you this sword as well."

Shuang'er was fiddling with the space bag. When she saw Pan Chengfeng handing her a long knife, she was startled and said, "Master, how do you use this bag? It can't be opened and can't hold anything. Even if you give me the knife, I have nowhere to put it." Pan Chengfeng chuckled and said, "You can use it after you start practicing Qi. You can't use it now." Shuang'er asked in confusion, "Practicing Qi?" Then she looked at Li Qian'er and asked, "Sister, what is practicing Qi?" Pan Chengfeng frowned and thought to himself, "Why don't you ask me? I finally have Shuang'er, who is even more ignorant than me. I have to seize the opportunity to show off." Pan Chengfeng answered quickly, "Practicing Qi is the basic realm of cultivators. You will be able to do it after your sister teaches you."

Shuang'er said "oh". Li Qian'er saw Shuang'er's disappointed expression and comforted her: "Shuang'er, you have good aptitude. I believe you will be able to get started with Qi training soon. Don't worry." After that, she looked at Pan Chengfeng and said: "I need to rest now. I hope you can buy the spiritual medicine as soon as possible. Shuang'er and I will wait for you here." "This is an order to expel you!" Pan Chengfeng thought a little depressed, but still bowed his hands and said: "I will do the work, don't worry, I will go now and will be back soon." After that, she was about to turn around and leave. Li Qian'er hurriedly said: "Please wait." Then she took out 100 medium-grade crystal beads and said: "You helped me buy spiritual herbs, how can I let you spend money? These 100 medium-grade crystal beads are all used to buy spiritual medicine. Keep them."
