Chapter 62

After Qin Sang and the others had each paid their respects to the old ancestor, Uncle Yue continued, "Our ancestor was a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, but later had no hope of breaking through to the Soul Formation stage. He founded the Kuaiyin Sect here, passed down the Dao, and passed away at the age of 1,083. The three Golden Core elders in our sect are all disciples of the old ancestor. You should know that in our Kuaiyin Sect, like other cultivation sects, seniority is determined by cultivation level. If you successfully break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, you can become a disciple of one of the Golden Core elders, and then you will be my junior brothers..."

Liang Yan interjected with a smile, "Then I'll have to call you Uncle."

"On this Yinsha Cliff, there are several cave dwellings, nearly a thousand disciples at the Qi Condensation stage. You can't see them now because they are all cultivating in their cave dwellings. In the future, you will be fellow disciples. The sect does not prohibit competition, but absolutely forbids killing each other. Otherwise, you will be severely punished! Remember that?"

Uncle Yue's tone was heavily laden with warning, and Qin Sang and the others naturally hurried to agree.

Seeing that they were still obedient, Uncle Yue's expression eased slightly. He patted his storage bag, and seven streaks of black light flew out. Each streak contained two items: a gray cloth bag and a yellowish-white bead the size of a longan.

"This is the Yinsha Bag. When you delve deep into the Yinsha Abyss, activating the Yinsha Bag will prevent the Yinsha Qi from invading your body. This bead is the Wenyang Pearl. When you cultivate in the future, you can carry the Wenyang Pearl with you, which will warm your body and automatically isolate the surrounding cold. If you encounter ghosts in the Yinsha Qi, you can activate the yang energy in the Wenyang Pearl to drive them away. However, the Wenyang Pearl is only effective against weak ghosts, so you must not enter the deeper areas of the Yinsha Qi."

The cloth bag and the bead fell into each person's hands. Qin Sang held them, feeling that the Yinsha Bag was like a rough cloth, while the Wenyang Pearl emitted a warm sensation. These two items were magical tools, but their quality was not high, just lower-grade magical tools, with special functions.

Qin Sang was examining the Yinsha Bag when he suddenly heard Uncle Yue's words and couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Yue, is the bottom of the cliff filled with Yinsha Qi?"

Uncle Yue nodded, "The reason the Yinsha Abyss is so cold is due to the Yinsha Qi at the bottom of the cliff."

Seeing that everyone's faces had changed slightly, Uncle Yue smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. The Yinsha Qi is not entirely bad. The reason our sect can sell so many magical tools is thanks to the Yinsha Qi. Moreover, in our Kuaiyin Sect, there is a unique secret technique that can use the Yinsha Qi for cultivation. However, before that, you need to change your cultivation techniques."

Hearing this, Qin Sang suddenly had a strong premonition.

Uncle Yue pointed at each of them with his finger, "Qin Sang, your original cultivation technique is the *Yuming Jing*, so you don't need to change it. Tan Hao, you also don't need to change, continue cultivating the *Yin Ci Jian Jing*. Among the five of you, three are cultivating water-based techniques, and you need to change to the *Yuming Jing*. Tan Jie, you are cultivating an earth-based technique, change to the *Diyuan Mijian*. Shi Qing, you also need to change to the *Yin Ci Jian Jing*."

Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.

Changing cultivation techniques is not a simple matter. Although their cultivation levels won't drop, they must start from the beginning with the new techniques, and during this period, their cultivation will not advance.

Although the cultivation speed will be fast, it will still take time.

Moreover, they had been immersed in their original techniques for many years, and it would take time to become familiar with the new techniques.

The three who were cultivating water-based techniques were especially worried, as everyone knew that the *Yuming Jing* was one of the most difficult water-based foundation techniques to cultivate.

Only Qin Sang lowered his head, saying nothing.

The others looked troubled and discussed the matter, and Uncle Yue's gaze suddenly turned cold as he shouted, "What a mess! Since the sect has decided to change your cultivation techniques, there must be a reason! Take it!"

Another seven streaks of light flew out of the storage bag, each containing a book and a small banner.

Qin Sang took them, his eyes narrowing. These items were all too familiar. The book was half of the *Yuming Jing*, and the banner was the Yama Banner!

However, the Yama pattern on this Yama Banner was much lighter in color, with sparse lines, and the Yama did not look as vivid, appearing quite stiff.

At this moment, Liang Yan bowed and smiled, "Uncle Yue, don't be angry. Changing cultivation techniques is a big matter, and it's normal for the juniors to have doubts. I will explain it to them, and I believe they will understand the sect's good intentions."

Only then did Uncle Yue retract his intimidating gaze, saying, "This secret technique is a closely guarded secret of the sect. No one is allowed to leak it, or they will be considered traitors. The reason you are not allowed to leave the mountain before the Foundation Establishment stage is for this reason. Liang Yan, take them out and assign each one a cave dwelling. Cultivate well. By the way... if you can break through to the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage within two years, you will be rewarded with an excellent magical tool. This is a one-time opportunity, so make the most of it."

Hearing about the reward of an excellent magical tool, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement.

Most independent cultivators were poor, and only a few had upper-grade magical tools. Seeing an excellent magical tool, they could only drool with envy.

For a moment, the resistance to changing cultivation techniques seemed less intense, and they all bid farewell to Uncle Yue, excitedly going to choose their cave dwellings.

On the mountain path, Liang Yan introduced the functions and taboos of the Yama Banner to them.

Qin Sang was already very familiar with the Yama Banner, pretending to listen to Liang Yan while thinking about other things.

The Yama Banner was a closely guarded secret of the Kuaiyin Sect, and the black-clothed demon who died at Song Hua's hands was very likely a disciple of the Kuaiyin Sect.

No wonder when he left the You Mountain Market, he saw the three uncles killing enemies with ghostly methods, truly a demonic sect!

Thinking of the mummy, Qin Sang still felt a chill.

The enthusiasm he had for joining a cultivation sect was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water. Qin Sang looked up at the misty sky, his eyes deep and his heart filled with doubt.

Just as he walked down two steps, a惨叫 suddenly came from a nearby cave dwelling, followed by a terrifying scream, a ghost-like howl mixed with cries of pain, extremely eerie.

Except for Qin Sang, the others were pale with fear. Liang Yan's figure flashed, and he kicked open the cave dwelling. Inside, a young man of their age was rolling on the ground, clutching his head, his face covered in blood and tears, looking like a madman.

Seeing Liang Yan, a glimmer of hope appeared in the young man's eyes. He clawed at the ground, his hands covered in veins, struggling to crawl forward, begging Liang Yan for help.

In the next moment, the young man's expression suddenly froze, his twisted body falling heavily to the ground, his breath gone.
