Chapter 15997 Men
Wu Lingfeng was aware of his situation. He had no powerful backing and would have to rely on the God of Wrath for his future cultivation. Therefore, he needed to find a place where he could stay calm and avoid attracting attention, while still ensuring a decent income. This was why he was more interested in the cave he heard was located in a relatively remote area.

Wu Lingfeng and the female cultivator quickly arrived at the cave dwelling. It was indeed a bit remote, but it wasn't far from the core area of ​​the sect. The cave dwelling was located on a small mountain, where there were many spiritual fields and a spring. Water flowed out from the spring and gradually gathered into a pond where fish could be raised.

Right now, there were indeed a few people observing in this cave. These people were all ordinary cultivators at the Shi level, and they were all quite old. The woman said to Wu Lingfeng, "They are all disciples of the sect, but because they are old, they don't want to do any other work anymore, so we sent them here to manage these businesses. They should have been doing this for quite a few years, so they are all very skilled. Senior brother, if you want to use these people in the future, you can continue to use them. If you don't want to use these people, you can replace them."

Wu Lingfeng nodded. He was quite satisfied with the cave dwelling. He turned to the female cultivator and said, "I'm very satisfied with this place. Let's go back and complete the formalities."

The female cultivator nodded and led Wu Lingfeng back to the core disciple service center. After completing the formalities, Wu Lingfeng received an array plate. This array plate could manipulate the magic array in that cave, which did have a magic array, and it was a pretty good one at that.

Wu Lingfeng was quite satisfied with this. He then returned directly to the cave. Once inside, he carefully observed the cave and became increasingly pleased. Besides his resting place, the cave had dozens of rooms of various sizes, which seemed to be prepared for his subordinates. This was indeed quite impressive.

Wu Lingfeng thought for a moment, then flew up and arrived at the weapon-refining hall. He had a chance to have the sect custom-make a magic weapon for him for free, and he didn't want to waste it.

Upon arriving at the weapon-refining hall, he took out his identity token and explained his situation to the staff. The staff immediately became very enthusiastic and specially invited an elder with excellent weapon-refining skills to custom-make a flying sword for Wu Lingfeng. Wu Lingfeng told the elder that the flying sword must be made of top-quality materials so that he could use it if he upgraded it in the future.

After hearing Wu Lingfeng's words, the elder readily agreed. In his opinion, all the core disciples said the same thing, and they were already used to it. Moreover, many of these core disciples had indeed become powerful elders in the sect, and they dared not offend them.

After having his magical artifacts customized, Wu Lingfeng went to the sect's scripture library. Of course, this time he came to the scripture library of the sect's core disciples, where there were many more cultivation techniques than in the inner and outer sect scripture libraries.

Wu Lingfeng's purpose in coming this time was indeed to exchange for a cultivation technique. He had long coveted a set of techniques from the sect called the Qingfeng Sword Scripture. This set of techniques was a sword cultivation technique, and Wu Lingfeng believed that he had some talent in swordsmanship, so he had wanted to cultivate this technique for a long time. However, he was not qualified to cultivate this technique before, but now he was qualified.

The process of exchanging cultivation techniques went very smoothly. No elder of any sect would make things difficult for a core disciple. A core disciple, after all, might become a powerful elder in the future, and offending him would bring no benefit whatsoever.

After changing his cultivation method, Wu Lingfeng looked at the sky. He only had one last thing left: to see Huo Lei and the others. Wu Lingfeng immediately flew towards the outer disciple area. He went directly to area number three and arranged for Huo Lei and the others to stay there.

After Wu Lingfeng arrived there, he went straight to find Huo Lei. When he got to Huo Lei's room, he knocked on the door. Huo Lei's voice came from inside: "Who is it?" His tone was also a little wary.

Wu Lingfeng said, "Boss Huo, it's me."

Huo Lei immediately recognized Wu Lingfeng's voice. He opened the door and greeted Wu Lingfeng, "Senior Brother Wu, what brings you here? Please come in." He then ushered Wu Lingfeng into the room. Once inside, Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, "It's nothing. I've been busy these past few days. I finally finished and came to see you all. How have you been?"

Huo Lei gave a wry smile and said, "I'm doing quite well, but suddenly having so much free time makes me feel a bit uncomfortable all over. But to be honest, life is much better now than before."

Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. I came to see you today because there's something I need to tell you. I've now become a core disciple of the sect, and according to the sect's rules, I can take on some subordinates, up to fifty people. So I thought of you all. If you're willing to become my subordinates, although I can't give you extra spirit stones every month, I can give you some guidance in cultivation, and I can also teach you some of the sect's techniques. That way, you won't have to worry about techniques in the future. So I just wanted to ask you, are you willing to become my subordinates?"

Upon hearing Wu Lingfeng's words, Huo Lei immediately shouted, "We're willing! We're willing!" Huo Lei was well aware that to become a core disciple of a sect, one's strength had to reach the Royal Palace level. Moreover, such a person held a very high position within the sect. Becoming someone's subordinate would be an absolute boon for them; it would be like ascending to the heavens in one step. If Wu Lingfeng became a powerful elder in the sect in the future, they would also be assigned to good positions. This was an incredible stroke of luck, so he agreed without hesitation.

Wu Lingfeng smiled and said, "Well then, it's getting late, so you guys don't need to come with me yet. Contact the others and tell them about the situation. Then I'll come find you tomorrow morning, and you can come with me to my cave." Huo Lei immediately agreed, looking very excited.

Seeing his expression, Wu Lingfeng couldn't help but smile slightly. Then he stood up, turned around, and left. Huo Lei escorted Wu Lingfeng to the door before going to find Li Tong and the others. He wanted to tell them the good news as soon as possible.

At this time, Wu Changling also received news that Wu Lingfeng had become a core disciple. The reason he received this news was because he had been paying attention to Wu Lingfeng's news. He was very surprised to learn that Wu Lingfeng had returned alive and made contributions. So he wanted to see what Wu Lingfeng had been doing these days. If he had the chance, he planned to scheme against Wu Lingfeng again. This time, he was determined to kill Wu Lingfeng.

He received this news, which greatly surprised him. He really didn't expect that Wu Lingfeng could become a royal-level expert in such a short time and successfully become a core disciple of the sect. After receiving this news, Wu Changling's heart sank. He knew very well that he would never have the chance to deal with Wu Lingfeng again. Wu Lingfeng had become a core disciple. Dealing with an inner disciple and dealing with a core disciple were completely different. If he dared to deal with Wu Lingfeng again, his own status would probably be in jeopardy.

Upon receiving this news, Wu Changling immediately wrote to Wu Changfeng, asking him to come to his courtyard right away. He had decided to take Wu Changfeng as his subordinate and have him stay in his courtyard. He was worried that if Wu Lingfeng was left at the outer gate, Wu Lingfeng would retaliate against him.

Wu Changling also has subordinates, but not many, only a dozen or so. These people spend most of their time helping him with tasks, and he hasn't trained them. That's why he didn't make Wu Changfeng his subordinate. In fact, many core disciples have such subordinates, who are essentially their free laborers. They haven't considered training these subordinates to become powerful experts. They know very well that training subordinates this way is too slow. If these subordinates were actually trained and became core disciples, they wouldn't be able to help him anymore, and they might even become his competitors in the future. So, of course, they won't put their heart into training these people.

But that won't work now. He has to bring Wu Changfeng under his command, otherwise Wu Changfeng will be finished if Wu Lingfeng really retaliates. He still remembers the last time Wu Lingfeng retaliated against Wu Changfeng. Wu Changfeng's face was bruised for several days before it healed, which shows how badly Wu Lingfeng beat him.

When Wu Changfeng arrived at Wu Changling's courtyard, his face turned pale with fright after hearing Wu Changling's words. Wu Lingfeng's revenge last time still terrified him. Now that Wu Lingfeng had become a core disciple, even Wu Changling couldn't touch him anymore. If Wu Lingfeng really retaliated, he would be finished. He now deeply regretted ever provoking Wu Lingfeng. He had only thought Wu Lingfeng was an ordinary outer sect manager, and he could bully him if he wanted. Who could have imagined that Wu Lingfeng would one day become a core disciple? Given Wu Lingfeng's strength and age back then, there was absolutely no way he could have ever turned his life around. But now, this nobody had turned his life around and become a core disciple, someone he couldn't possibly be worthy of. If it weren't for Wu Changling, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

But it was too late to regret it now. Wu Changfeng gritted his teeth and began to cultivate desperately. He knew very well that only when he reached the level of a core disciple would he no longer have to worry about Wu Lingfeng's revenge. So he wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible. But at the same time, he thought of something: why was Wu Lingfeng's strength improving so fast? It was too abnormal.

Upon thinking of this, Wu Changfeng's eyes lit up. He immediately told Wu Changling the news, and Wu Changling's eyes also lit up after hearing Wu Changfeng's words. He then murmured, "That's right. Why has his strength improved so quickly? This is too abnormal."
