In the mountains, the scenery was picturesque. It was a place where spiritual qi gathered. And Taixuan Mountain, as the location of the Taixuan Sect, was one of the rare blessed lands in the world. In addition, the great matrix that sealed off the mountains also had the effect of gathering the spiritual qi of heaven and earth. Therefore, the spiritual qi of Taixuan Mountain was even more concentrated and thick.
Even outside the mountains, the concentration of the spiritual qi of heaven and earth was not comparable to that of ordinary mountains and rivers.
There was a reason why the disciples of the famous sects were stronger than the disciples of the second and third rate sects. The famous sects occupied the best cultivation resources in the world and had the best cultivation conditions. If the disciples of the famous sects were weaker than the disciples of the second and third rate sects, then the cultivation method of the famous sects was really wasted on the body of a dog.
At this time, it was the darkest period before dawn. Outside the mountains, there was silence. Occasionally, there was only the slight sound of the wind rustling the grass.
Outside the mountain gate of the Taixuan Sect, in the pavilion, there was suddenly a slight sound. The sound was very soft, and if one did not pay attention, they would not have heard it.
The sound was very strange. It sounded like popcorn being fried in a hot pot, but if one listened carefully, it sounded like the cracking of bones being squeezed.
The source of the sound was even more strange. If someone passed by the mountain gate of the Taixuan Sect at this time, they would be shocked, because this strange sound was coming from the body of a person. To be more precise, it was coming from the body of this person.
This person was Gu Fei. He was operating the qi of the five elements in his body according to the ancient method of refining the body, causing the muscles and bones of his body to tremble slightly. With the frequency of the vibration, the qi of the five elements in his body surged from his flesh and blood to his muscles and bones, nourishing them and washing away the impurities in them.
This rhythmic vibration of the muscles and bones made a sound like muffled thunder, but also like the sound of beans being fried. In fact, this sound had a very loud name, and that was — the sound of thunder!
Gu Fei's current cultivation base had already reached the stage of Tendon Transformation and Bone Forging. However, the vast majority of the meridians in the human body were in the flesh and blood. The flesh and blood refined essence into energy, producing the five elemental source energy, making it very difficult for it to reach the tendons and bones.
There was only one way to make the Five Elements Qi enter the tendons and bones, and that was to use the Heavenly Drum Thunder Sound to vibrate the tendons and bones. At the same time, it could also make the Five Elements Qi directly enter the tendons and bones through the flesh and blood wrapping around the tendons and bones.
In truth, the Heavenly Thunder Drum could not only temper one's muscles and bones, but the five elemental energies in one's flesh and blood could also permeate into one's internal organs and strengthen one's internal organs.
The Heavenly Thunder Drum had an unimaginable effect in body refinement. When trained to a high level, one would be able to produce the true sound of thunder within one's body. Cultivators who had reached that level would have their bodies completely transparent from inside out. Their bodies would be so powerful that even the treasures of martial cultivators would not be able to injure them.
Of course, with Gu Fei's current cultivation base, even the sound of frying beans was not pure or loud, let alone the sound of thunder. The sound that came from his body was just loud enough for others to hear.
The ancient body refinement technique was "martial," and "martial" meant that one had to move. Even if he was meditating and seemed calm, in fact, Gu Fei's body was "moving". His tendons, bones, and flesh were "moving" without stopping for even a moment.
All three thousand great Daos could make one a Saint. Although the path of heaven-defying cultivation was much more difficult than that of martial cultivation, once one succeeded, one would be able to lead the crowd and be invincible among cultivators of the same level.
The time spent cultivating passed very quickly. Before he knew it, the sky in the east had already turned bright, and the darkness that shrouded the world began to fade.
Outside the mountain gate, although it could be said that no evil cultivators would dare to cause trouble for the Taixuan Sect, Gu Fei still did not dare to enter a deep state of cultivation. He was still half asleep and half awake, paying attention to the situation around him.
When he felt that it was almost dawn, he slowly stopped. The sound of his flesh and bones trembling gradually weakened and then completely disappeared.
Gu Fei stood up from the pavilion and patted the hem of his robe. Then, he walked out of the pavilion and arrived at the mountain gate. Looking into the mountain gate, he could vaguely see the silhouettes of people moving about on the mountain.
"Hmm! The mountain protection formation is about to be withdrawn. "Gu Fei looked up at the sky and said to himself.
Sure enough, in the void outside the mountain gate, transparent ripples began to appear. Then, the entire space suddenly became blurred, and then immediately became clear again.
Gu Fei smiled and strode toward the mountain gate. He knew that the mountain protection formation had been withdrawn. However, when he thought about how he had been missing for a few days, Gu Fei could not help but frown.
"The mission jade token was lost in the battle with the black water mystical snake, and I did not catch the Jade Phosphor Carp to obtain the inner core of the Jade Phosphor Carp. It seems that this time I will be punished again. Hmm! I should first go back to my residence, change into a clean set of clothes, and then go to Martial Uncle Mo of the Hua Lin Pavilion to receive my punishment! "
After Gu Fei had already made up his mind, his pace was clearly much faster. The disciples of the Supreme Mystery Sect who could not complete the chores on time would be punished. This was something that Gu Fei was very clear about.
In the sect, there were often disciples who forgot the chores they were responsible for because they were cultivating, and it was not uncommon for them to be punished. Even Gu Fei himself had learned a few lessons from the mistakes of others.
There were some disciples who randomly found a place to cultivate on the mountain. Sometimes, they would be immersed in their cultivation, and there were also many people who would not be seen for several days.
Therefore, in the few days that Gu Fei had disappeared, the sect did not send anyone to look for him. Only Wang Yuanzhi and the others were frightened, afraid that if something happened to Gu Fei, they would also be in big trouble.
As Gu Fei walked on the mountain road, the scenery on both sides moved quickly. Soon, he saw the courtyard hidden in the forest where he lived.
On Taixuan Mountain, there were several such courtyards for young disciples to live in. The Supreme Mystery Sect was divided into nine branches. The branch of the sect leader had the most people, and the branch that Gu Fei belonged to had the least people. There were only two, and they were Gu Fei and his master Wan Xiancheng.
Of the nine major branches, except for the one that Gu Fei belonged to, the other eight had many people. Altogether, there were hundreds of disciples of the younger generation.
This kind of courtyard was the residence of the young disciples.
Although cultivators were people outside of the world, they still needed a place to live. Therefore, the Supreme Mystery Sect had built many pavilions on the mountain. At the peak of Taixuan Mountain was the important place of the Supreme Mystery Sect, Supreme Mystery Temple.
The leader of the Supreme Mystery Sect, Taoist Xuantian, was a cultivator of the Ninth Tier of Controlling the Void, and a cultivator who was only one step away from the Demigod Realm. He sat in the Supreme Mystery Temple.
As Gu Fei walked into the courtyard, he met Wang Yuanzhi and the two youths who followed Wang Yuanzhi's lead.
When Wang Yuanzhi and the others saw Gu Fei, they were suddenly startled, then looked at Gu Fei with a strange expression, and hurried past Gu Fei.
Gu Fei saw that the expressions of Wang Yuanzhi and the others were a little strange, but his cultivation was already above Wang Yuanzhi's, so he did not care about Wang Yuanzhi at all.
"Hmph! I don't think he would dare to provoke me again. "Gu Fei could not be bothered with these people, and strode toward his room.
He pushed open the door, opened the wardrobe, and changed into a clean white robe. He put the inner core of the blackwater mystical snake and the talisman that he had stolen from Wang Yuanzhi on his body, and then left the room, heading for the Hua Lin Pavilion.
Along the way, he met several white-robed disciples from the Hua Lin Pavilion. These disciples looked at Gu Fei with a strange expression, which made Gu Fei feel a little uneasy.
The atmosphere today seemed different from the past. Could something have happened in the sect? Gu Fei was a little surprised, and he quickened his pace toward the Hua Lin Pavilion.
