A Mortal's Supporting Character's Different Kind of Cultivation

On a desolate mountain in northern Jianzhou, where the Yue Kingdom and the Yuanwu Kingdom meet, stood dozens of young people of different appearances. The older ones had white hair, while the younger ones still had a childish look. But they were all neatly arranged, with solemn faces and silent expressions.

At the very front stood an imposing old man, gazing at the sky alone, while four men and one woman stood silently behind him, their faces solemn.

Behind these five people were two rows of neat disciples in yellow robes. These people had different expressions. Some were uneasy and nervous, some were relaxed and smiling, and some were solemn and determined.

In the very center of the first row, there was a tall, handsome young man with striking eyebrows and bright eyes. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, lost in thought.

No one knew that this composed young man was secretly plotting something.

The young man was none other than Lu Yunfeng, and this group of people dressed in yellow were the people from Huangfeng Valley who were participating in the "Bloody Trial".

Lu Yunfeng participated in this suicidal journey mainly for the golden chest guarded by the Ink Dragon and the main spiritual medicine for the Foundation Establishment Pill. He himself can use the Creation Blood Spring produced by the Crimson Gourd to cultivate, but other resources cannot be produced using the Creation Blood Spring, nor can he let others obtain the Creation Blood Spring, as that would be too dangerous.

Putting aside the golden chest, the spiritual herbs can only be harvested twice, so the competition this time will definitely be fierce. Five years later, the six demonic sects will invade and disrupt the harvest, so we can only harvest enough spiritual herb seeds this time.

The Yue Kingdom will belong to the Demonic Ghost Spirit Sect in the future. It is uncertain whether spiritual medicine seeds can still be found in other places. However, this is not the main point. The most important thing is that the key that can open the center of the Blood Forbidden Land must be in our hands. This is the last chance. In order to steal the golden box without anyone noticing, Lu Yunfeng has practiced the secret techniques recorded in the "Primordial Demon Scripture" a lot in the past year.

Lu Yunfeng did not slack off and took the Creation Blood Spring every day. His cultivation level also reached the peak of the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. He continued to take it, and the Blood Spring began to nourish his physical body. His whole body felt tingly and numb. Taking the Blood Spring directly was too wasteful. It had to be combined with spiritual herbs to be refined into pills in order to bring out the full effect of the Blood Spring.

When Lu Yunfeng decided to sign up for the forbidden area's herb-gathering garden, his Uncle Wang, who was in charge of registration, was greatly surprised.

Lu Yunfeng made up an excuse to brush it off, and Uncle Wang wasn't one to pry, so he registered Lu Yunfeng and let him leave.

Three days before the expedition to the forbidden area, all the disciples participating in the expedition received a message urging them to gather in the council hall to prepare for departure.

When Lu Yunfeng arrived, all the disciples who had signed up for the forbidden area trial had gathered here and were sizing each other up.

There are tens of thousands of disciples in the entire Yellow Maple Valley, but Lu Yunfeng doesn't know almost any of them. He is so engrossed in cultivation that he only knows his Uncle Li, who hands over missions on time, a few fellow clansmen, and a few people from the Chen family. He knows nothing else.

The disciples participating in this forbidden area trial can be described as a strong and well-equipped force, with five or six disciples from the thirteenth level peak alone, plus Lu Yunfeng himself. They are the main force, and only they can bring out the majority of the spiritual herbs for the sect.

Among the remaining disciples, those at level twelve also make up the majority.

There were only three disciples on the last eleventh floor: Han Li, an elderly man with white hair, and a boy of about sixteen or seventeen. Lu Yunfeng looked over. Han Li remained low-key, hiding at the very back, completely inconspicuous. The elderly man with white hair seemed to sense something and looked at Lu Yunfeng. Their eyes met, and Lu Yunfeng subtly turned his head to look around before withdrawing his gaze. "As expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he can sense this even with just a casual glance. His spiritual sense is truly terrifying." Lu Yunfeng's expression darkened.

In the past, it was considered good if the seven sects could have a dozen or so disciples participating in the forbidden area trials; often, they couldn't even gather enough people.

Unlike this time, not only are there a large number of participants, but their quality is also exceptionally high. All of this indicates that this forbidden area trial will definitely surpass previous ones, and the level of brutality will be even greater, with very few people surviving.

Lu Yunfeng also received an unexpected surprise: a top-tier magic artifact, the "Shadowless Hat," sponsored by the sect. However, it was just an ordinary top-tier magic treasure, incomparable to fine items like the Wind and Fire Flag or the Ice Soul Pearl. Nevertheless, its ability to make one invisible was a perfect match for the Demonic Energy Locking Breath Technique. Simply activating the Demonic Energy Locking Breath Technique to conceal one's aura, combined with the Shadowless Hat's invisibility, made it the ideal combination for murder and robbery.

After listening to Sect Leader Zhong's encouragement, two steward disciples came with two trays. Lu Yunfeng selected spirit stones and obtained one mid-grade wind attribute spirit stone, one mid-grade water attribute spirit stone, and one mid-grade wood attribute spirit stone before preparing to draw a spirit weapon.

Lu Yunfeng didn't care much. He already had top-grade magic weapons, so he didn't care about the high-grade magic weapons distributed by the sect. However, the procedure still had to be followed. Lu Yunfeng stepped forward and reached into his specially made storage bag to rummage around. He touched a ring-shaped object, pulled it out, and examined it. A dark and ancient ring was in his hand. The people behind him couldn't wait to step forward, so Lu Yunfeng stepped aside to make way and returned to the group.

An old man arrived, surrounded by Sect Leader Zhong and others. The disciples felt as if his gaze could see right through them, and Lu Yunfeng frowned, startled. He immediately recognized the old man as Li Huayuan, Han Li's nominal master.

Without wasting words, the old man waved his hand and left the main hall first.

The disciples followed, and when they arrived outside the main hall, they all gasped in surprise.

Outside the main hall, a huge, shimmering silver monster was flying in the air. Master Li was coldly watching everyone from above. Lu Yunfeng took a breath to calm his shocked heart.

Lu Yunfeng blinked, his pounding heart calming down, before realizing it was a giant silver python, several times more shocking than anything described in books, its savage and bloodthirsty aura overwhelming everyone.

"Even a Core Formation stage spirit beast has this kind of aura. This giant python must be at the Foundation Establishment stage. Its aura is too strong. I really can't wait." Lu Yunfeng's face was full of enthusiasm.

The thought of reaching that level one day filled Lu Yunfeng with excitement and his blood boiled.

Lu Yunfeng had always viewed things from a modern perspective and had never had a clear concept of the path to immortality.

Seeing such ferocious beasts subdued and obedient made his heart set on the Dao clear, giving him even more confidence and determination in cultivating immortality.

The group boarded the giant silver python and traveled for two days before arriving at an unnamed, desolate mountain.

This beast was incredibly fast, far surpassing the speed of Lu Yunfeng and his group. Upon arrival, they waited for the other factions to arrive.

Lu Yunfeng found a secluded corner and sat down to meditate alone. No one came to chat with him; those with low cultivation levels didn't dare, and those with high cultivation levels had their own pride and were unwilling to bow down and form an alliance first.
