Chapter 10

Seeing Lin Feng's boldness, Han Man grinned and said, "Good brother, but if we kill him, we'll bear the consequences together. Am I, Han Man, a coward?"

He naturally understood the deeper meaning behind Lin Feng killing Jing Feng. This was to keep them out of it, to let them stay out of the matter. At this moment, Han Man truly admired Lin Feng. A man of passion should have the courage to stand up and take responsibility.

"Right, we'll bear the consequences together. Besides, as long as we're within the Yunhai Sect, disciples are forbidden to kill each other. Even if Jing Hao knows we killed Jing Feng, as long as we don't leave the sect, he can't do anything to us." With the situation as it was, Qing Yi decisively said.

"Count me in." Jing Yun smiled, her smile particularly beautiful.

"Good." Lin Feng was happy to have such friends. And Qing Yi was right; although the Yunhai Sect didn't restrict the actions of its disciples outside, there were still rules within the sect, otherwise it would have been chaos long ago.

Crouching down, Lin Feng searched Jing Feng's body and took out a book, a martial technique.

"Thunderclap Sword Technique."

Murmuring, Lin Feng opened the martial technique. The Thunderclap Sword Technique was a high-grade yellow-level martial technique. When practiced to perfection, the sword would be like a thunderclap, each strike accompanied by a faint sound of thunder, focusing on explosive power.

"The Thunderclap Sword Technique is a martial technique from the Star Pavilion. Both Jing Feng and his brother practiced it. It's very powerful, but quite difficult to master, especially the later stages where the sword is like a thunderclap." Qing Yi, who aspired to be a sword cultivator, had a good understanding of sword techniques. "I've practiced it too, but I can't grasp the essence, so its power is limited."

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He had already mastered three martial techniques. Nine Waves could attack and defend, the Floating Light step was essential for movement, and the Quick Draw technique was for one-hit kills. If he practiced the Thunderclap Sword Technique to complement Nine Waves and conceal the Quick Draw technique, it might be a good choice.

"Are we going back now?" Jing Yun asked Lin Feng, as the group now implicitly regarded him as their leader.

"Why rush back? Wouldn't it be better to hunt more beast cores?" Lin Feng didn't want to return to the sect so soon. In the Black Wind Ridge, he could use the beasts to train himself and practice the Thunderclap Sword Technique, which would be perfect.

The other three exchanged smiles and laughed. With Lin Feng around, as long as they didn't encounter too strong beasts, they wouldn't be in danger, so there was no need to rush back.

"If we could exchange for some Rejuvenation Pills, that would be great." Jing Yun was somewhat hopeful. The Rejuvenation Pill was a pill that could enhance the cultivation of a Qi Martial Realm cultivator, and it was very effective. However, it required many beast cores to exchange for one pill, and the cores had to be from high-level beasts.

A glint of light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. From his past memories, he knew about the Rejuvenation Pill. Although he could easily defeat an eighth-level Qi Martial Realm cultivator, his seventh-level cultivation was still a bit low. If he could enhance his cultivation, he might be able to fight a ninth-level Qi Martial Realm cultivator without relying on the Quick Draw technique.

Five days later, in the dense forest, sword qi whistled, and the air was filled with the faint sound of thunder. What was shocking was that the thunderous sound came from the sword qi.

"Boom, boom..." Wherever the sword pointed, trees exploded. A handsome young man wielded his sword, the sword like a flash of lightning, powerful and overwhelming.

"In just five days, to master the Thunderclap Sword Technique to this extent, this guy is a monster." Qing Yi, who was watching, had a bitter smile. He loved swords and had practiced the Thunderclap Sword Technique, knowing its difficulty. But in just five days, Lin Feng's every strike was accompanied by thunder, a sign of great mastery. Qing Yi felt deeply discouraged.

"Don't compare yourself to Lin Feng. He's just using this eighth-level beast, the Flowing Cloud Leopard, to practice his sword technique." Han Man, with his arms crossed, watched Lin Feng's battle with the Flowing Cloud Leopard. It was a one-sided fight, and more infuriatingly, Lin Feng deliberately didn't kill the leopard, his sword technique flawless, leaving the speed-focused Flowing Cloud Leopard no chance to escape.

"Swish!" With a light sound, Lin Feng's sword pierced the Flowing Cloud Leopard's head, killing it instantly.

Sheathing his sword, Lin Feng was very satisfied with the Thunderclap Sword Technique. The sword, like a thunderclap, had explosive power that surpassed Nine Waves when used to its fullest. Swords were known for their powerful attacks.

Standing there, Lin Feng's clear and handsome face had gained a touch of firmness and ease, seeming more mature than when he first arrived in this world.

Han Man walked over and began to extract the beast core, muttering to himself. His original intention was to train himself and hunt beasts, but now he was specifically responsible for extracting the cores. However, he had no complaints. The beasts Lin Feng hunted were all seventh and eighth-level beasts, and watching Lin Feng's battles with the beasts was also very beneficial.

"Han Man, how many Rejuvenation Pills can we exchange for with our beast cores?" Lin Feng pulled Han Man, who had finished collecting the cores, and asked.

"At least twelve." Excitement flashed in Han Man's eyes. They hadn't expected such a large harvest, but it was all thanks to Lin Feng. Otherwise, they would have found it difficult to kill even seventh-level beasts.

"Perfect, that means each of us can have three. The remaining cores can be exchanged for weapons or money. If you need anything, just exchange for it. Let's head back to the sect now."

For cultivators, the first three Rejuvenation Pills were effective. The first one had the greatest effect, with the highest probability of breaking through to the next level. The second and third were more difficult.

"Three Rejuvenation Pills." Han Man and the others were very happy. This meant they had a chance to reach the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm in a short time. The fifth level of the Qi Martial Realm was considered the lowest in the sect, and the seventh level was only average among the outer disciples. Only at the eighth level could one have a say in the outer sect.

The three didn't hesitate with Lin Feng. After a few days of interaction, they understood his character—free-spirited and with a strong will in martial cultivation.

"Let's go back." With that, the group headed out of the Black Wind Ridge.

Returning to the Rejuvenation Sect, the four of them directly exchanged their beast cores. They got twelve Rejuvenation Pills, three for each person, and also exchanged for a long sword for Lin Feng, a battle axe for Han Man, and two Foundation Strengthening Pills for Qing Yi, which could enhance his martial foundation, clearly indicating that Qing Yi realized his talent was lacking and his foundation unstable.

As for what Jing Yun exchanged for, it surprised Lin Feng—Eternal Youth Pills. These pills could make a woman more charming. If a woman practicing some evil and alluring techniques used them, it would be normal, but Jing Yun was clearly not that kind of woman. On the contrary, she was very innocent. Lin Feng didn't understand why she chose the Eternal Youth Pills.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jing Yun, noticing Lin Feng's gaze, blushed and lowered her head.

"Nothing, just a bit surprised. You're already very beautiful." Lin Feng laughed awkwardly, not wanting to pry into her choice.

"Lin Feng, what do you plan to do next?" Han Man asked, hoping to go back to the Black Wind Ridge with Lin Feng if possible.

"First, I need to enhance my cultivation. Being at the seventh level of the Qi Martial Realm feels a bit low." Lin Feng replied.

"Indeed, we all need to enhance our cultivation. Lin Feng, with your current strength, you can definitely go there to train yourself." Han Man nodded and pointed to a distant place. There was a huge canyon, the most famous place in the Yunhai Sect—the Wind and Cloud Canyon.

Eight towering peaks surrounded the Yunhai Sect, and the Wind and Cloud Canyon was at its center, a vast depression over a hundred meters deep, covering a wide area. It was divided into several large zones, like an underground city. The terrain inside was very complex. From above, the canyon offered a wide view of many scenes, but once inside, it was a different world. You might be in a forest or on a hill.

The Yunhai Sect encouraged its disciples to train through combat. Besides the dangerous Black Wind Ridge, the sect had also opened the vast Wind and Cloud Canyon. Once you stepped into the canyon, regardless of identity or relationship, you could fight anyone. It was a stage for the strong, and the weak would only be beaten.

Therefore, in the Yunhai Sect, those below the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm generally dared not enter the Wind and Cloud Canyon.

Additionally, there was a place in the canyon called the Life and Death Platform. If you voluntarily stepped onto the platform, your life was in your own hands. If you were killed, the sect wouldn't intervene. Of course, if you were strong, you could kill others.

If there was a life-and-death feud within the sect that couldn't be resolved, one could step onto the Life and Death Platform to settle it.

"I will definitely go there." Lin Feng looked at the crowd watching from above the canyon, a glint of determination in his eyes. The former Lin Feng, at the fifth level of the Qi Martial Realm, was called a waste and could only stand above the canyon, envying the strong who fought within.
