Chapter 595 - 594: Imparting the Dao and Resolving Doubts

Chapter 595: Chapter 594: Imparting the Dao and Resolving Doubts

Heavenly Red Peak towered into the clouds.

Beside the Cloud Peak Celestial Lake, palaces and pavilions stood in dense, orderly rows!

Tier after tier.

At the very top was the Primordial Hall. Arranged around and below it were the residences of Heavenly Red Peak’s many disciples.

Heavenly Red Peak was currently led by its six great Outer Disciples.

In addition to the first three Outer Disciples—Luan Xiaochuan, Xu Jie, and Zhao Yuan—there were also Liu Xiu, Yu Yao, and Chen Guang.

Among them, Liu Xiu had been a disciple of the Cyan Dragon Academy. Because of his friendship with Qin Feng, he had earned the jealousy of Ao Kun from the Five Elements Team back then.

He had no choice but to seek refuge on Heavenly Red Peak.

Later, he chose to stay.

Around the same time, Yu Yao also came under Qin Feng’s tutelage.

Chen Guang came from a common background. He was originally a High-tier Medicine Boy on Heavenly Red Peak, but due to his diligent Cultivation, Qin Feng made a special exception and promoted him to Outer Disciple.

The six of them were registered with the Medicine King Hall, giving them a proper, official status.

Now, following Qin Feng’s rise as the master of Yunhu City and a Sealed Marquis Genius, their statuses had risen with his. They had become Fifth-level Inner Sect Disciples of the Medicine King Hall.

Of course, there was a difference between a so-called Inner Sect Disciple of the Medicine King Hall and an Inner Sect Disciple of the Star Sect.

One was of the earth, the other of the heavens.

They couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath.

Nevertheless, upon becoming Fifth-level Inner Sect Disciples, the authority and privileges they received grew daily, far surpassing those of their talented peers.

What’s more, the current Heavenly Red Peak was beginning to feel a bit like a Dao Field.

A Dao Field. Only a True Disciple could occupy a Level 9 Spirit Mountain and establish one.

If Heavenly Red Peak were to be upgraded into the Heavenly Red Peak Dao Field, all the disciples on the mountain would rise with it, each receiving a corresponding reward.

The other High-tier Medicine Boys could become Servant Disciples, and the six great Outer Disciples could be promoted to Outer Sect Disciples of the Star Sect.

It was a wonderful opportunity to ascend to the heavens in a single step.

So, when they learned that Qin Feng was going to compete for the position of True Disciple, all of Heavenly Red Peak erupted with excitement.

The Primordial Hall was a great hall personally named by Qin Feng.

At this moment, a group of disciples dressed in the black robes of Alchemists stood respectfully and attentively.

At the head of the group were a man and a woman. The man had thick eyebrows and large eyes, and he was plainly dressed.

The woman was charming yet frigid, carrying an aloofness that kept others at a distance.

These were Yan Fei’Er and Huang Pusong.

Everyone present was an apprentice sent by the Medicine King Hall. Qin Feng had been busy with his Cultivation, so he was using the time before the True Inheritance Ceremony to preach the Dao, impart knowledge, and clear up their doubts.

After explaining some key points and answering some long-accumulated questions from the disciples, Qin Feng shooed the group out.

Besides these disciples, a number of High-tier Medicine Boys were also listening in.

For example, Yun Zhan, Lu Zaitian, Yu Hansong, Han Cheng, and a few other High-tier Medicine Boys.

Becoming an Alchemist was the ultimate dream of countless Medicine Boys.

To be able to listen to a genius Alchemist lecture, the group of Medicine Boys was exceptionally attentive.

To one side, Luan Xiaochuan, Zhao Yuan, and Xu Jie stood in attendance. Yu Yao’s beautiful eyes shifted, but her gaze was fixed on Honglian, who was seated behind the master’s throne.

The expression on her pretty face was indescribably complex.

Just then, a Medicine Boy in a cyan pharmacist’s robe hurried over.

"Senior Sister Yu, the brothers Chen Qian and Chen Kun, Inner Sect Disciples from the Star Sect’s Kangjin Peak, request an audience with the Peak Master!"

Yu Yao’s brow twitched. "Chen Qian and Chen Kun? Aren’t they Miss Honglian’s admirers? Those two brothers are quite famous in the Star Sect, known as the Qian-Kun Duo. But they’re nothing before our Peak Master. The Peak Master said he won’t see any of these flies!"

The Medicine Boy nodded. "I’ll go send them away right now!"

Yu Yao nodded, a trace of wistfulness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

’Back in Mountain and River City, just hearing the words "Inner Sect Disciple of the Star Sect" was enough to make our entire family tremble.’

’An Inner Sect Disciple of the Star Sect appearing in a kingdom like the Yan Kingdom would cause massive waves. And now, we can just send them away as we please.’

’And there’s nothing those Inner Sect Disciples can do about it!’

These past few days, Chen Qian and Chen Kun weren’t the only Inner Sect Disciples she had turned away.

Even True Disciples had been given the cold shoulder.

No one suspected that Qin Feng would fail to be promoted to True Disciple.

An hour later, the many disciples respectfully filed out of the Primordial Hall.

Once everyone had left, only Yan Fei’Er and Huang Pusong remained in the great hall.

Qin Feng looked up at them and said, "Do you two still need something?"

Yan Fei’Er spoke up. "Master Qin, this disciple heard that you are preparing to participate in the True Inheritance Ceremony and has specially prepared a gift for you!"

After speaking, she pulled a silk scroll from her jade-like sleeve.

Huang Pusong hadn’t spoken, but he glanced at Yan Fei’Er in surprise. He hadn’t expected her to have the same idea as him.

He bowed his head respectfully. "This disciple also has a gift for Master Qin!"

He took a gilded booklet from his sleeve.

Qin Feng’s eyes shifted slightly. With a wave of his large sleeve, the items in their hands flew onto his desk. A single glance was all it took for a trace of surprise to appear in his eyes.

He nodded. "You are both very thoughtful!"

After a moment of thought, Qin Feng gathered countless streams of True Power between his fingers, condensing them into a sheet of Runes in the Void. A moment later, with a sweep of his sleeve, the Runes flew out like a river, coalescing into a small silver booklet before the astonished eyes of Yan Fei’Er and Huang Pusong.

"These are some simple insights on the path of alchemy that I have summarized, along with an appended Fire Control Heart Method. Take it back and study it carefully. You will surely gain something from it!"

Hearing this, Yan Fei’Er and Huang Pusong were overjoyed. They quickly put the silver booklet away.

"Thank you for your generous favor, Master Qin!"

"You may go!"

Qin Feng waved his hand. The two bowed again before retreating from the Primordial Hall.

"Young Master, what did those two give you that made you so happy?" Honglian guessed. "Could it be some inside information about the True Inheritance Ceremony?"

Honglian was well aware of Yan Fei’Er’s and Huang Pusong’s backgrounds. Although these two disciples had always been low-key and hidden their identities, their origins were in fact quite significant.

Their origins were even greater than those of the high-profile children of Star Sect Elders from the All Stars Academy.

"Clever girl, sharp as a tack. You guessed it right away! I never expected the sect to set the assessment for True Disciples in the Demon Refining Tower this time!"

Honglian was startled. "The Demon Refining Tower? Isn’t that where the sect imprisons its external enemies? I heard it holds many powerful figures, not just Giants, but even Martial Dao Great Powers and Outer Path Saints!"

The Star Sect was enormous and influential, so naturally, it had many enemies. Most of the experts captured over the years were imprisoned in the depths of the Demon Refining Tower.

Over tens of thousands of years, who knows how many terrifying existences have accumulated within that Demon Refining Tower!

Qin Feng nodded, his expression grave. "Yes, that’s right. This True Inheritance Ceremony will be anything but simple. According to the information obtained by the people backing Yan Fei’Er and Huang Pusong, there will be six trials this time. Only by passing all six can one truly obtain the position of True Disciple. The Demon Refining Tower is no safe haven; it’s fraught with peril. Forget six trials—even passing one will be difficult. Those imprisoned Martial Dao Great Powers and Outer Path Saints hate the Star Sect to the bone. If they saw a Star Sect expert, they would gladly perish just to take them down with them!"

"Most importantly, there are only nine spots for True Disciples this time. With over a hundred disciples entering, the selection rate is less than one in ten!"

Honglian’s expression changed. "Less than one in ten? But those hundred-odd disciples... that’s nearly a hundred Martial Arts Giants, and even some Half-Step Martial Dao Great Powers! Isn’t that far too many people for so few spots?!"

"Young Master, you haven’t even truly broken through to the Nirvana Realm yet. This is probably..."
