I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

Elder Qi shook his head slightly upon seeing this.

Situ Kuang has decent talent, but he is impetuous and overly obsessed, which will inevitably limit his future achievements.

He composed himself and said in a deep voice, "The body tempering is over. The three of you will leave with me."

A moment later, the four returned to the inner gate square.

After giving a few brief instructions, Elder Qi turned and left.

Not long after, a magnificent rainbow streaked through the sky and landed steadily in front of the three of them.

The newcomer had a dignified appearance, an imposing presence, and exuded a strong sense of oppression.

His gaze was sharp as lightning. After a brief, indifferent glance at the three, he asked, "Are you the three newly recruited disciples?"

Lin Feng and the other two quickly bowed and nodded, respectfully agreeing.

"I am Mu Qiu, an inner sect elder. You may address me as Elder Mu."

With that, Mu Qiu turned around and walked towards the main hall ahead.

"Someone will distribute a full set of sect supplies to you shortly. Remember to keep them safe."

"All the rules and regulations of the sect are recorded in the sect's handbook. You must read them carefully and memorize them."

"No matter how prominent your status is in the outside world, once you join my Hundred Refinements Sect, you will simply be a disciple of the sect."

"Anyone who dares to defy the sect rules and act recklessly will be severely punished without exception!"

A moment later, the three arrived in front of a grand hall and received, in turn, inner disciple tokens, two bottles of pills, two sect robes, and a sect manual.

Lin Feng lowered his eyes to look at the token in his hand. It was entirely golden, with a miniature picture of the Three Thousand Mountains engraved on the back and the words "Hundred Refinements" cast on the front.

The handwriting is vigorous and profound, with immense force, as if it contains an indomitable and unyielding will.

Elder Mu's deep, thunderous voice slowly rang out: "Squeeze out a drop of blood from your fingertip and let it merge into the token, and it will automatically recognize you as its owner. The token will then simultaneously display the location of your cave."

Lin Feng and the other two did as instructed, each dripping a drop of blood from their fingertips onto the token.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

The token vibrated and rang instantly, radiating a dazzling light.

As the radiance faded, the three of them felt a faint, unspoken connection to the tokens in their hands.

At the same time, a unique serial number appears on the surface of the token.

Lin Feng's number is 501, which corresponds to the serial number of his cave dwelling.

"The entry procedures have been completed. From this day forward, you are the inner disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect."

"Remember, you must not act recklessly outside the sect by relying on the sect's name. Once verified, you will be expelled from the sect immediately."

"The sect's secret realm will open next month, and only disciples at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment and above are allowed to enter."

"I hope you will seize the time to cultivate diligently and make progress, so that you may bring fame to the sect."

As soon as Elder Mu finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and three streams of light suddenly shot out, all disappearing into the brows of the three men.

"This is our sect's secret body tempering method, the Hundred Refinements Vajra Body."

"The entire set of techniques is divided into three parts. What you have obtained today is the first part, which is equivalent to the Hong-rank martial arts technique."

"If you are promoted to a true disciple in the future, you may apply for the second part."

"If you make great contributions, accumulate enough sect merits, and reach the Nascent Soul Realm, you can exchange for the third part."

After giving his instructions, Elder Mu moved and disappeared from the three people's sight in an instant.

At this moment, Li Liu quickly walked to Lin Feng's side, his attitude humble: "Brother Lin, we are both newly recruited disciples, and our cave dwellings are in the same area, so why don't we travel together?"

Lin Feng shook his head slightly, walked away alone, still exuding an aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

Seeing this, Li Liu could only offer a helpless, bitter smile.

Situ Kuang, standing to the side, was filled with the ecstatic joy of having obtained a treasure. He turned to look at Lin Feng's departing figure, his eyes instantly turning sinister and resentful.

He muttered to himself, "Lin Feng, I will dedicate myself to cultivating the Hundred-Refined Vajra Body for the next month. Once the secret realm opens, I will make you lose all face!"

Zhang Hengshan and the others beside him also looked at Lin Feng's back with resentment.

The newly recruited disciples' cave dwellings are located on a wide, flat area, each a separate courtyard, quiet and well-organized.

In front of each courtyard stands a stone tablet, engraved with the corresponding cave number.

Lin Feng arrived at courtyard number 501, took out his identity token, unlocked the restrictions outside the courtyard, and stepped inside.

The courtyard has a simple layout and plain furnishings, with no luxurious scenery.

The Hundred Refinements Sect has always advocated rigorous cultivation and practical work, and abstained from pleasure. Therefore, all disciples of the sect live in simple cave dwellings, which can only meet their daily needs for cultivation and living. There is no distinction between true disciples, inner disciples and outer disciples.

Lin Feng didn't care at all.

He quickly familiarized himself with the courtyard, then sat down in the pavilion, opened his notebook, and began to study it word by word.

After a stick of incense had burned, Lin Feng had already figured out the core rules of the Hundred Refinements Sect.

Outer disciples are restricted to the area at the foot of the mountain, while inner disciples are restricted to the mountainside.

Only true disciples and sect elders are allowed to venture into the area above the mountainside.

The sect has a strict hierarchy, and anyone who dares to cross the line will be severely punished by the Enforcement Hall.

The Enforcement Hall is directly under the jurisdiction of the sect leader and is managed by the sect's elders. It is responsible for supervising the disciples' cultivation and sect rules, and wields great power.

Elder Qi, who previously presided over the assessment of new disciples, was a core elder of the Enforcement Hall and held a highly respected position.

Furthermore, the inner sect has a list of prodigies, and only the top ten disciples can be listed and become famous.

Disciples who make the list can receive far more cultivation resources than ordinary inner disciples every day, and can also undertake high-level sect missions, with countless opportunities.

The so-called sect missions are various cultivation tasks issued by the sect. After completing them, disciples can receive corresponding rewards and merit points.

The Mission Hall refreshes thousands of missions daily for all disciples to choose from.

The tasks are diverse, ranging from simple tasks like planting medicinal herbs and raising mounts to high-risk missions involving searching for rare and precious materials.

The more difficult the task, the greater the corresponding reward and merit bonus.

New disciples enjoy a one-year exemption from tasks. After the one-year period, they must complete at least one sect task every month. Violation of this rule will result in punishment from the sect.

The remaining rules and regulations are largely similar to those of the Qingyun Sect, where Lin Feng previously belonged.

After memorizing all the rules, Lin Feng entered the cave and slipped into the small tower to focus on his cultivation.

Time flows within the tower, and a month passes in the blink of an eye.

Lin Feng, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. The spiritual energy within his body surged and churned, forming a powerful wave that swept across the entire courtyard.

"Phew~ I've finally broken through to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment!"

Lin Feng exhaled a long breath and stood up to stretch his muscles and bones.

With the foundation tempering provided by the Hundred Refinement Pool and the arduous cultivation within the One-Month Tower, he successfully broke through from the fourth level of Foundation Establishment to the fifth level.

But in the outside world, only one day has quietly passed.

"There are many people at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment in the inner sect, but they are far from being top-tier. We cannot let our guard down."

"Especially the top ten prodigies, it is said that many of them have already entered the Spirit Sea Realm, with extraordinary cultivation, looking down on their fellow disciples."

Lin Feng was secretly alarmed and was pondering his future cultivation plans when he suddenly realized that the restrictions on his cave had been triggered.

He moved swiftly, instantly exiting the small tower and appearing in the cave.

Outside the cave, seven or eight disciples dressed in inner sect robes stood in a line.

These people are all veteran inner disciples, and most of them have stable cultivation at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment.

The leader was even more powerful, having reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. He stood with his hands behind his back, his expression arrogant.

Lin Feng calmly walked out of the cave and said indifferently, "What brings you here, fellow disciples?"

Wu Qianhong narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Lin Feng with a sharp gaze and an overwhelming sense of pressure, and asked, "So you're Lin Feng, the top scorer in this year's entrance exam?"

Lin Feng frowned: "It's me."

"My name is Wu Qianhong, and I serve under Senior Brother Ji Tianpeng. You should have heard of Senior Brother Ji's name, right?" Wu Qianhong said proudly.

Ji Tianpeng!

Lin Feng's heart stirred; this person was none other than the elite disciple ranked tenth on the Prodigy List.

But he didn't care at all and asked impatiently, "What exactly do you want to say?"
