At the center of the Spiritual Pool in the Hu Clan's Secret Grounds, a person was currently cultivating.
If Qin Shaofeng were to see this person again, he would be shocked to see that when this person was cultivating, he was actually constantly absorbing strands of pale white mist from the spiritual pool.
This wasn't a mist, but a trace of spirit energy that was being extracted from the spirit pool. However, this wasn't the main point. The main point was that this person was absorbing the spirit energy from the spirit pool. This was a cultivator's method.
Even the aura that this person was emitting was extremely different from others.
In terms of cultivation level, this person's aura was similar to Wu Huang's, but the aura he emitted seemed to be stronger than Wu Huang's.
The reason for such a situation was actually very simple. It was because this person was not a martial artist, but a cultivator.
Moreover, he was a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator. Compared to other Wu Huang's, he was much stronger.
Moreover, this person was very young. Whether it was his appearance or aura, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
A fifteen- or sixteen-year-old Qi Transformation Realm cultivator was extremely rare on Earth.
At this moment, there were three other people beside the Spiritual Pool.
However, two of them were not cultivators, but pure warriors. They were both Wu Huang's cultivation level, and they were both tenth level Wu Huang's.
However, at this moment, they were looking at the young man in the middle of the Spiritual Pool with envy.
Among them was a middle-aged man. This person was also a cultivator, and he was at the Qi Hai Realm, which was equivalent to the Martial Saint Realm.
The cultivation of cultivators was different from that of warriors. Under normal circumstances, a warrior's cultivation level was divided into ten levels, from the first level to the tenth level, and then to the next level.
However, the cultivation level of cultivators was not like this.
Whether it was the three levels of Qi Transformation Realm or the Spirit Severing Realm, each level was only divided into the early, middle, late, and peak stages.
This middle-aged man was a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Hai Realm!
Although he was only at the early stage of Qi Hai Realm, with his strength and some of his techniques, he could probably defeat a fourth or fifth level Martial Saint.
Of course, this was not always the case. There were some Martial Sages who possessed extremely powerful strength. Even cultivators could not compare to them.
At this moment, Wu Huang suddenly walked in and said to the middle aged man at the Qi Hai realm: "Master He Zilin, the Hu family has something to report."
Hmm?
He Zilin frowned slightly, feeling somewhat unhappy.
His goal this time was to bring his junior apprentice brother here and use the Hu family's Spirit Pool to break through to the Peak of the Qi Transformation Realm and prepare for his junior apprentice brother's breakthrough to the Qi Hai Realm. He didn't have any intention of talking with the Hu family.
If it weren't for the contributions of that person from the Hu Clan over the years, he would have killed everyone from the Hu Clan at the first opportunity.
Therefore, when he heard that the Hu Clan wanted to meet him, he was extremely unhappy.
But … He Zilin glanced at his Junior Brother in the center of the spirit lake, and a sliver of hesitation flashed across his eyes. In the end, he nodded his head and said, "I got it. Tell him that I'll be there in a moment!"
"Yes!"
The man who was at the peak of Wu Huang nodded his head and immediately left.
At the same time, Qin Shaofeng was thinking about something in one of the Hu Clan's halls.
Actually, after Old Man Hu brought him to see the peak of Wu Huang, Qin Shaofeng felt a little strange in his heart.
Wu Huang was at the peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm, but he was still not the leader of the five people. It could be seen that the leader of the other party was most likely a Martial Sage.
However, what really piqued Qin Shaofeng's interest in this organization was the way the person at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm addressed their leader this time.
Master Deacon!
In other words, the leading Martial Saint was only a Deacon in that organization.
If a Deacon had the cultivation of a Martial Sage, then what about the people above the Deacon?
Martial Sage or even higher?
Furthermore, a guess that he was extremely concerned about suddenly appeared in Qin Shaofeng's mind.
Now, it was time to see if this guess was as he had imagined.
Soon, the peak of the Qi Cultivation Realm Wu Huang came over and said to Old Man Hu calmly, "The Master Deacon has agreed to see you. You can wait here!"
After saying that, he left, not caring about Old Man Hu's reaction at all.
As for the young man Qin Shaofeng, he followed after him without even looking at Qin Shaofeng.
However, Qin Shaofeng did not care. In fact, he had already guessed that this would be the result. After exchanging glances with Old Man Hu, they sat down and waited quietly.
This wait made Qin Shaofeng and Old Man Hu wait for a full three hours before the Master Deacon slowly appeared.
"Speak, what do you want?" After He Zilin appeared, he did not even look at Old Man Hu and Qin Shaofeng. He sat down and said calmly.
However, although He Zilin did not look at Old Man Hu and Qin Shaofeng, his question was directed at Old Man Hu.
Old Man Hu did not answer. He only looked at Qin Shaofeng. Qin Shaofeng nodded slightly and said, "Nothing. We just want to know if Hu Jinyuan is dead or alive."
Hmm?
He Zilin did not expect that it would be just a question like this.
Hu Jinyuan was the genius of the Hu Clan more than two hundred years ago. Qin Shaofeng had a conversation with Old Man Hu and was certain that Hu Jinyuan was still alive. Something must have happened to him, which led to the current situation.
Therefore, Old Master Hu also agreed to let Qin Shaofeng have full authority to talk to the deacon after he came out.
"Who are you?"
He Zilin did not answer Qin Shaofeng's question. He stared directly at Qin Shaofeng and asked. At the same time, an unusually strong aura pressed down on Qin Shaofeng.
However, Qin Shaofeng only smiled slightly. He did not care at all, as if he was not affected in the slightest.
However, at this moment, Qin Shaofeng was very surprised.
This was because after this deacon appeared, Qin Shaofeng had already sensed that the other party was not a warrior, but a genuine cultivator.
Moreover, he was an early stage Qi Hai cultivator. His strength was probably enough to kill Gao Xinhan, a Martial Saint.
This was the first time Qin Shaofeng met a cultivator from Earth!
Well, the Evil Blood Taoist did not count.
Therefore, Qin Shaofeng was very curious. What kind of organization did this person come from?
Seeing that Qin Shaofeng was not affected in the slightest by his aura, He Zilin was also very surprised. It was also at this moment that he began to seriously observe Qin Shaofeng.
Then, he was surprised to find that he could not see through Qin Shaofeng's cultivation level.
In his eyes, Qin Shaofeng was like an ordinary person. If Qin Shaofeng did not take the initiative to speak, he would not have noticed Qin Shaofeng's existence at all.
He could not help but pay attention to such a person.
Seeing that Qin Shaofeng did not answer, He Zilin looked seriously at Qin Shaofeng and finally said, "Hu Jinyuan is already dead!"
Old Man Hu's expression changed. The trace of hope that had appeared in his heart not long ago disappeared in an instant.
However, Qin Shaofeng had told him about this possibility in advance. He was somewhat prepared in his heart and was not disappointed.
As expected!
Qin Shaofeng's heart skipped a beat. Then, he said, "Although Hu Jinyuan is dead, the agreed time with your organization is not up yet. Could it be that your organization is so untrustworthy?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Hidden Sky Sect will not allow you to slander us!"
Before He Zilin could say anything, the peak Wu Huang beside him berated Qin Shaofeng.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, He Zilin berated him, "Shut up!"
The peak Wu Huang was shocked. When he saw how angry He Zilin was, he immediately understood that he had said something that he should not have said.
Hidden Sky Sect?
Qin Shaofeng finally knew the name of this organization from the peak Wu Huang.
However, Qin Shaofeng's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to have heard the words "Hidden Sky Sect" somewhere before.
However, he couldn't remember exactly where it was.
After berating Wu Huang, He Zilin's gaze landed on Qin Shaofeng. His tone was slightly cold.
"You don't have to worry. Even if it is on account of Hu Jinyuan's past contributions to our organization, we will not go back on our word. We do not care about a mere spiritual pool with half of its Spirit Qi dissipated."
After a pause, He Zilin said, "This time, we came to the Hu Clan to let my junior brother cultivate for a while. We will leave in a few days!"
He Zilin's tone was very calm. Although he said that, in reality, even if the spiritual pool had half of its Spirit Qi dissipated, it was still a rare treasure to their organization.
The reason was very simple. This spiritual pool was a little special. Although half of its Spirit Qi dissipated, the Spirit Qi inside was very gentle.
If one used this Spirit Qi to nourish one's body, it would be of great help in opening up one's energy reserve.
If Hu Jinyuan had not told his master about this, He Zilin would not have brought his junior brother to this place.
It was also because of this that the Hu Clan was able to survive.
If not, with the way the Hidden Heaven Sect handled things, the Hu Clan would have been expelled from this place at the very least. In the worst case scenario, the entire clan would have been destroyed.
Cultivate?
He Zilin's words made Qin Shaofeng's heart skip a beat. He seemed to have understood something.
This was because Qin Shaofeng was very clear that the Spirit Qi in this spiritual pool was very gentle. If that was the case, then the junior brother that this person spoke of was most likely going to open up the Qi Hai realm.
Thinking about this, Qin Shaofeng had an idea in his heart. He said, "Since you do not care about this spiritual pool, then can you trade it to me?"
Qin Shaofeng knew very well that when conversing with such a power, favors, contributions, and the like were all nonsense. He had to be more direct.
"Trade?" He Zilin once again looked up and down at Qin Shaofeng. He said with some contempt in his heart, "Heh, although this is only a spiritual pool with half of its Spirit Qi dissipated, its value is not high in our eyes. But that is only in our eyes. If you want to trade, you can.
What can you offer? "
"Pills!" Qin Shaofeng said calmly.
Pills?
He Zilin's heart was filled with even more disdain. He was just about to say that real pills were not the so-called pills in the martial arts world, but he suddenly saw Qin Shaofeng's confident look. In the end, he did not say it out loud.
After pausing for a while, he said, "Alright, since you are so confident, as long as you can offer a pill that can move my heart, we will trade this spiritual pool to you!"
"Do you have the right to do so?" Qin Shaofeng did not answer immediately, but instead asked a question.
