I can bless thousands of magical powers.

A strange peak stands tall and is named Siguo.

Siguo Peak is one of the highest peaks within the Shangjingtian Mountain Gate. It is like a sharp sword piercing the sky. It is steep and rugged, and its peak is covered with ice and snow that never melts all year round.

This mountain has a large number of caves carved out from bottom to top, which are specially used for the disciples of Shang Jingtian who have made mistakes to retreat and reflect on themselves.

These caves are also called forbidden caves.

According to the sect's rules, once a disciple who has committed a crime enters the forbidden cave, he cannot leave without an imperial order during the punishment period, and his daily eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping must be done in the cave.

Violators will be subject to heavier penalties at the very least, or expelled from the mountain at the most serious level.

Accompanied by a disciple from the Jingtian Discipline Hall, Zhang Yuan climbed up the Siguo Peak and entered a forbidden cave.

This forbidden cave has not been inhabited for a long time. The stone tables, stone benches and the floor are all covered with thick dust. The walls are empty and the living conditions can be said to be very simple.

This is actually normal. After all, this place is similar to a prison, and it is not a place for people to come here to enjoy themselves.

"You are not allowed to leave within one year."

The disciple of the Discipline Hall said coldly: "Someone will come to deliver food every day from now on. Just reflect on yourself here and don't cause any trouble!"

Zhang Yuan nodded calmly: "I understand."

Only after the disciple from the Discipline Hall left did he begin to check out his tiny home for the next year.

The area of ​​this forbidden cave is not large, the outer room is only about ten to twenty square meters, and the inner room is divided into a bedroom and a toilet.

The bathroom is a toilet, and there is no toilet in it.

A trench was dug on the ground, and water flowed into a bottomless hole. The design was ingenious and very clean.

There was only a stone bed in the bedroom, with no bedding or anything else.

Zhang Yuan didn't care about it, and even felt fortunate for his foresight.

Before going up to Siguo Peak, he considered that the living conditions here might be very poor, so he specially bought a batch of daily necessities in Linxian Manor and stored them in the storage space.

Since he is here, he should make the best of it. This is the path he chose himself, so Zhang Yuan naturally won't have any complaints.

In fact, Zhang Yuan felt that his punishment of being forced to reflect on himself at Siguo Peak for a year was more like a form of protection from Shang Jingtian.

Otherwise, he will be expelled from the mountain directly. Will Zhang Yuan be able to appeal?
He took a broom from the corner of the outer room and cleaned the room carefully inside and out.

Then he sat down on a large rock at the entrance of the cave.

Zhang Yuan was at a very high place, and he could see mountains in the distance and near, shrouded in white mist. The sky was high and the clouds were light, with the sun shining brightly. A strong wind was whistling past in front of him, but the inside of the cave was calm!
This situation makes people feel strongly lonely.

Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged on a big rock, and the hostility in his heart gradually faded away, and his mood became extremely peaceful.

I don’t know how much time had passed. When it was getting dark, a Taoist boy carrying a food box came to the front of the cave along the narrow path.

He bowed respectfully to Zhang Yuan: "Senior Brother."

Zhang Yuan came to his senses and nodded slightly at the other party: "Hello."

The Taoist boy put down the food box and smiled innocently: "Brother, this is today's dinner. Leave it here after you finish your meal. I will come to get it tomorrow morning."

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

However, the Taoist boy did not leave immediately. Instead, he scratched his head, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Anything else?"

The Taoist boy said with a smile: "Brother, do you want a bed, bedding, teacups and saucers?"

He knew that Zhang Yuan was an outsider warrior and not a disciple of Shang Jingtian, so he was very polite but not awe-inspiring.

Zhang Yuan immediately became interested: "How do you sell it?"

"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"

The Taoist boy bowed and said, "Brother, we are not talking about buying and selling, but fate. You and I are destined to be together, so we can exchange goods for goods, which is fair and just!"

"Okay." Zhang Yuan thought it was very interesting: "I want all of them, how do I exchange them?"

Originally, he wanted to use the stock in the storage space, and since the other party proposed a deal, he naturally went along with it.

This can not only avoid exposing abilities, but also allow supplies in the space to pass through clearly.

Great patron!

Hearing that Zhang Yuan wanted them all, the Taoist boy immediately became excited and explained the price of the goods in detail.

It turns out that although the conditions on Siguo Peak are very harsh, there is nothing you need in the forbidden cave.

But it is not unsolvable.

As long as you are willing to work hard, not to mention beds, bedding, tea bowls, cups and plates, even free ordinary meals can be upgraded to medicinal foods that nourish the body.

Food, drink, things to use, things to play with...

Everything!

The Taoist boy listed a whole bunch of things, and Zhang Yuan shook his head secretly after hearing them.

There is nothing new under the sun. Shang Jingtian is one of the ancestral temples of Taoism, with a thousand-year-old heritage and great power.

The accumulated disadvantages below are no less!
Of course, he is not a hot-blooded and angry teenager, so he would not have any disgusted thoughts.

So they ordered a batch of daily necessities from the other party and upgraded the two free meals a day to three meals a day of medicinal food.

Zhang Yuan paid one hundred and fifty-seven Taoist points for this.

If it were any other martial artist, they would absolutely be reluctant to use these precious Taoist skills to exchange for the enjoyment of life.

Because every Taoist skill is hard-earned and requires risking one's life to obtain.

However, Zhang Yuan is an exception.

He had previously obtained all of Yue Yihe's Taoist skills, which totaled more than three thousand, plus his own accumulation.

Over a hundred is just drizzle.

The Taoist boy was overjoyed at having made a big deal, and immediately went to bring a batch of daily necessities to Zhang Yuan.

As for the transfer of Taoist power, he also has a way to solve it, so Zhang Yuan doesn't need to worry about it at all.

So that night, Zhang Yuan leaned on the warm and comfortable bed, facing the balsamic oil lamp placed on the bedside, reading a book. The only thing he lacked was a beautiful little girl massaging his legs beside him.

But Zhang Yuan was not obsessed with these external things.

In the following days, he entered a mode of asceticism.

In the morning, he practiced the "Hunyuan Tiangang Zhengfa", in the afternoon, he practiced the "Pojun Daofa", and at night, he worked hard on the "Liuhe Qilin Body".

Occasionally, I would take some time to master "The Great Stone Smasher".

Day after day, he gradually got used to the life of cultivation in the forbidden cave, accumulating his strength bit by bit.

No friends, no socializing, no quests, and no need to venture into Mo Yuan.

Apart from the little Taoist boy who delivered meals every day, Zhang Yuan couldn't even see another person.

The repetitive days can be extremely boring.

However, Zhang Yuan enjoyed this loneliness with all his heart, savoring the taste of solitude and actually enjoyed it!

Unintentionally, his cultivation level had improved a lot.

But for Zhang Yuan, improving strength is secondary.

The most important thing is that this time he was able to truly calm down, sort out what he had learned in the past, and gain new insights and understandings of martial arts.

Strengthen your foundation! (End of this chapter)
