The New Moon Sect has designated six cultivation methods for disciples at the Refining Qi Stage, including the Five Elements Technique: Water-Linked Softness Technique, Mu Xi Chun Shu Jing, Earth Giant Fist, Metal Breaking Cloud Palm, and Fire Element Solar Power. The basic combat technique is Azure Dragon Thirteen Swords.
Xu Feng received the Earth Giant Fist and Azure Dragon Thirteen Swords.
Next was the practical combat test, personally overseen by Bai Shixiong. Over forty disciples took turns sparring with him, limited to three moves each. Bai Shixiong was a Refining Qi Level Ten disciple, and even against the forty lower-level disciples in rotation, he remained unchallenged.
"Your combat techniques are good, but still not proficient enough. If you fully integrate this set of combat techniques, you should be able to take one more move from me."
"Is that your family’s sword technique? You have plenty of skill but lack power."
"You haven't used a sword before; you used long weapons in the past, right?"
With each disciple he tested, Bai Shixiong pointed out their strengths and weaknesses in martial arts, which greatly impressed the other disciples. With such a senior brother to guide them, their progress in cultivation should be imminent.
Xu Feng did not dare to use his full strength; he controlled the double power of Arrow Meridian, allowing his strikes to fluctuate at Qi Refining Third Layer. After three moves, Bai Shixiong chuckled and said, "You exerted three layers of strength at Refining Qi Second Layer; no wonder you passed the selection competition. Well done."
The other disciples suddenly understood and gained a new perspective on this so-called waste with Five Spiritual Roots.
After all forty disciples had completed their tests, a new moon disciple with a darker complexion walked in. His attire was different from that of the new disciples from Liuyun Hall; the emblem on his right chest featured three gray half-moons.
The Black-Faced Disciple walked straight toward Bai Shixiong, clasped his hands in greeting, then pulled Bai Shixiong aside to whisper a few words. Bai Shixiong nodded slightly. Seeing Bai Shixiong agree, the Black-Faced Disciple smiled and said, "I have entrusted this matter to you; I appreciate your help, Bai Shixiong."
Bai Shixiong chuckled lightly and shook his head. "I'm just giving him an opportunity; future achievements will depend on him alone."
The Black-Faced Disciple nodded. "What you say is very true." He turned and waved toward the door, and a proud-looking young man who was glancing around walked over.
"It's him!" Xu Feng immediately recognized this annoying young man as the wealthy second-generation cultivator who had exhausted Xu Feng during the third round using numerous Martial Talismans. That day, although they had fought to a standstill, for some unknown reason the host declared Xu Feng the winner and eliminated him. Now this wealthy second-generation cultivator had found a way to sneak back in; it seemed that having money really made things easier.
"Hurry up and greet Bai Mang Shixiong," the Black-Faced Disciple instructed the wealthy second-generation cultivator.
"Guo Manman has met Bai Mang Shixiong. Please take care of me, Bai Shixiong." The wealthy second-generation Guo Manman bowed to Bai Shixiong.
Bai Shixiong nodded and turned to Zhou Shixiong, saying, "Zhou Shidi, take this new disciple to get their robe."
Zhou Shixiong responded and led Guo Manman away. The Black-Faced Disciple saw that the matter was settled and thanked Bai Shixiong again, saying, "Thank you for your help, Bai Shixiong."
"No problem, no problem." Bai Shixiong did not insist on keeping him and politely sent the Black-Faced Disciple out of Liuyun Hall.
The two were openly recruiting disciples, and Xu Feng and others were not foolish; they immediately noticed. However, a naive young man spoke up, "Isn't this just favoritism? I oppose this."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear. Suddenly, the entire place fell silent; you could hear a pin drop.
The one who shouted was a young cultivator with thick eyebrows and big eyes; just by looking at him, it was clear he was a bit foolish. Xu Feng remembered his name: Timur.
He truly was a "wooden head."
Bai Shixiong stared at Timur for ten seconds and said, "You are correct, but you do not have the strength to oppose." Bai Shixiong did not make it difficult for him, adding, "I was like this when I was young too."
Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Timur realized his comment was a bit out of place and hurried to explain to Bai Shixiong. However, his explanation only made things worse.
Timur sincerely told Bai Shixiong, "What I mean is that this matter can be done at night when we can't see it."
...
At noon, Zhou Shixiong took the disciples to the dining hall for a meal. The food here couldn't compare to the Delicious Hall at Baixian Pavilion; each person received a bowl of rice with mixed dishes that were all vegetarian.
Everyone's faces showed displeasure, but they dared not express it. These young cultivators were low-level disciples here but were like immortals in the mortal realm—able to have whatever they wanted: big fish, meat, fine wine, and mountain delicacies. Who would dare say that immortals eat vegetarian?
Xu Feng picked up a piece of green vegetable and took a bite; it was fresh and tasted quite good—not bad at all. The bowl wasn't large; he finished it in less than ten bites. Xu Feng felt energized, with any sense of hunger long gone. He turned to see other disciples showing similar expressions; it seemed that the food wasn't as simple as he had imagined.
Hmm, Xiao Hall Master is truly an extraordinary hall master.
After dinner, everyone was taken to an open area next to the Trial Ground. Before long, a white-haired cultivator approached. Zhou Shixiong introduced him as a teaching disciple of the New Moon Sect, primarily responsible for answering questions related to the sect and explaining regulations and plans akin to "corporate culture."
After listening to an afternoon of "orientation training," everyone gained a deeper understanding of the New Moon Sect.
After dinner, everyone returned to their accommodations and began practicing their chosen Cultivation Method. The daily schedule of the New Moon Sect involves practicing Combat Techniques in the morning, focusing mainly on practical skills with the Azure Dragon Thirteen Swords. In the afternoon, senior brothers provide explanations on important points regarding cultivation and answer questions about cultivation issues. In the evening, individuals practice internal skills or sword techniques independently.
Xu Feng currently possesses four internal skill manuals: Gold, Water, Fire, and Earth Cultivation Methods, but he is missing the Wood Element. He has already made progress in Gold and Fire, while he just acquired Water Element from He Tanshu and has not yet started practicing it. The Earth Element was also just obtained.
Through this period of cultivation, Xu Feng has become very familiar with his body. Under normal circumstances, for an average difficulty Five Elements Technique, he could refine spiritual energy within ten attempts at most. Techniques like Jinxi's Golden Yuan Slash, which is considered one of the most difficult among the five elements, only took him three attempts.
Cultivators possess unique physiques that grant them near-photographic memory. Ordinary Cultivation Methods are seldom passed down verbally; practitioners rely on their own understanding while studying manuals. The sect only provides guidance when disciples encounter bottlenecks or difficulties in their cultivation. This guidance is crucial; sometimes a single sentence can help someone break through barriers and ascend to greater heights.
Xu Feng took out the manual for the Earth Element's Boulder Fist, flipping through it as he had done before. This time, he completed it much faster than before, finishing in less than an hour.
The Boulder Fist primarily focuses on cultivating Earth Elemental Energy, utilizing the strength characteristic of the Earth Element. When executed, punches feel like boulders flying through the air, unstoppable in their force. The manual consists of ten levels, each corresponding to a cultivator's realm. Upon reaching the level of Cultivation Method Great Achievement, one would attain the tenth level of Qi Refinement.
Currently, Xu Feng is at the Refining Qi Second Layer. Revisiting the first layer of this Cultivation Method, although the types of methods differ, he benefits from his experience and physical condition.
After carefully studying the first layer of the Boulder Fist's Cultivation Method, Xu Feng took out a Qi Gathering Pill and swallowed it, beginning his practice of the Earth Element's Boulder Fist.
There were two remaining Qi Gathering Pills left by He Tanshu. For someone like Xu Feng, who had already consumed a Qi Gathering Pill, its effectiveness had diminished significantly; however, it still held some value. After all, a single pill costing nearly two thousand spirit stones is not something easily compared to common goods.
Bathed in rich Spiritual Energy, Xu Feng followed the instructions of the Boulder Fist's Cultivation Method, circulating his energy channels and greedily absorbing the power of the Earth Element from his surroundings.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the New Moon Sect is completely different from that in the outside world. Wangyue Peak itself is a focal point of a spiritual vein; here, the concentration of spiritual energy is five times that of the outside world. Naturally, cultivating here yields twice the results with half the effort. The founder of the New Moon Sect established it here precisely because he recognized this spiritual vein's significance.
Unknowingly, it was well past midnight. Just as dawn was approaching, all of Xu Feng's spiritual energy finally coalesced into a seed of Earth Element power within his Dantian. After slowly rotating a few times, it dispersed throughout his body's meridians.
At the same time, in the mysterious space, the Golden Arrow flashed with brilliance, and the Earth Star under Archery Skills lit up.
The Earth Star!
The Earth Elemental Energy dissipated in the Meridian, while the long-dormant Jinxi spiritual power suddenly stirred within. Xu Feng had primarily focused on Fire Element One Star, using Fire Elemental Power to impact Refining Qi Second Layer. However, he had only practiced Jinxi's Golden Yuan Slash to the first layer due to the entanglement with Wan Jian Sect and Qinghua Gang, which interrupted his training of Golden Yuan Slash.
Now that he had completed the Earth Element Cultivation Method, the Golden Attribute Cultivation Method unexpectedly resonated automatically, presenting a rare opportunity. Xu Feng activated the Golden Yuan Slash's Cultivation Method, and waves of Jinxi power circulated within him, increasing.
Half an hour later, the Golden Element Power gradually calmed down and returned to tranquility. Xu Feng knew that finding such an opportunity again would be difficult; he could only proceed slowly with the Golden Element Power.
The Golden Yuan Slash is divided into eight layers. After half an hour of cultivation, Xu Feng did not break through to the second layer of Golden Yuan Slash, but the strength of his Jinxi spiritual power had reached the range of Refining Qi Second Layer.
This means that Xu Feng now possessed both Fire Element One Star and Jinxi spiritual powers at Refining Qi Second Layer. It is important to note that Jinxi is the most powerful among the five elements in terms of attack.
Using Jinxi spiritual power at Refining Qi Second Layer with Archery Skills, even a practitioner at Refining Qi Eighth Layer would likely find it difficult to deal with Xu Feng.
