"That's natural. In the Divine Martial Continent, every Sect has its own characteristics. After all, martial artists have many needs beyond just cultivating martial arts, and a good weapon is crucial. Therefore, Refining Technique has a place in any Heavenly Level Sect. Martial artists with the talent for Refining Materials are highly sought after in many Sects. To be honest, our Nanling County's Earth-Level Sect, Yao Guang Sect, once sent someone to find me and offered me a chance to enter the Yao Guang Sect's Refining Hall without taking the entrance exam. However, I still refused. No matter how good Yao Guang Sect is, it cannot compare to Heavenly Mechanism Sect," Bai Jing said proudly.
Ye Feng shrugged. It seemed that this Pale-Faced Boy had quite a talent for Refining Technique; otherwise, he wouldn't have received an invitation from an Earth-Level Sect. Although Earth-Level Sects are slightly inferior to Heavenly Level Sects, they are still among the top Sects in the Four Great Empires and are not forces that ordinary powers dare to provoke.
"Besides Refining Technique, if you have unique talents in Divination Technique, Beast Control Technique, Mystical Formation Technique, Spirit Pattern Technique, Mechanism Technique, or Alchemy, passing the first round of the Re-examination won't be difficult. I wonder what Brother Zhou excels at. Of course, if Brother Zhou doesn't have strengths in those areas but has outstanding martial arts cultivation and can successfully pass the Nine Wooden Man Formation, he will also be recognized by Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Martial Arts Arena."
"In the Heavenly Level Sect, besides the Martial Arts Arena, there are so many categories? I don't have any of those specialties you mentioned; I'm afraid I'll only be able to challenge that wooden man formation," Ye Feng said in astonishment. He was considering joining Heavenly Mechanism Sect precisely because of Spirit Pattern Technique but didn't expect there would be so many different schools within Heavenly Mechanism Sect beyond just Spirit Pattern Technique.
"That's natural. Which Celestial Peak Sect doesn't have these eight major categories? It's just that each Sect has different focuses. Heavenly Mechanism Sect is most famous for Divination Technique and Spirit Pattern Technique, while Celestial Moon Empire's Beastmaster Sect is unmatched in Beast Control Technique. However, no matter which Sect it is, the most important thing is still the Martial Arts Arena since martial arts cultivation is the mainstream of all major Sects," Ye Feng thought to himself as he realized his lack of knowledge about Sects and began to doubt Bai Jing's background.
"Our Zhou family is isolated on Southern Island, so I don't know much about these matters," Ye Feng casually explained.
"I see. I've heard that there are many prominent families and powerful forces on Southern Island that keep a low profile. Seeing your cultivation level isn't weak; you must be a disciple of some prominent family," Bai Jing speculated.
Ye Feng smiled but did not respond, allowing him to guess freely.
Bai Jing didn't dwell on it either; seeing that Ye Feng was unwilling to elaborate, he promptly changed the subject and began discussing the final round of the Re-examination.
"The last round of the Re-examination is simple: just survive!" Bai Jing said astonishingly, causing Ye Feng's heart to tremble.
"Heavenly Mechanism Sect will throw us into a Trial Ground where beasts abound and dangers lurk everywhere. Disciples who pass the initial Re-examination can form partnerships with each other or act alone. As long as they can survive in this Trial Ground for a month, they will become Outer Sect Disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect!"
"Don't underestimate this Trial Ground; in previous years' Re-examinations, only about thirty percent of disciples managed to survive. There are numerous Fifth-Grade Beasts inside and even Sixth-Order Beasts roaming around. Moreover, disciples will also fight each other over various issues. Those who survive will definitely be among the best of their generation."
Bai Jing's expression gradually became serious. "As far as I know, each survival trial not only tests each preparatory disciple's combat strength but also their luck."
"Luck?" Ye Feng was slightly taken aback; the concept of luck seemed too abstract. He couldn't help but recall what Bai Jing had mentioned about Divination Technique—could it be that everyone truly has luck?
"Exactly! Even if your talent is high and your strength is great, if your luck is insufficient and you die tragically in various dangers without being able to grow, you would be of no use to Heavenly Mechanism Sect. They need such survival trials to assess each preparatory disciple's luck. Luck encompasses many aspects; my cultivation level is relatively low, but through Refining Technique in the Trial Ground, I can meet many powerful experts who can protect me. Passing the final survival test won't be a problem for me. For me, luck is like a talent for making connections with people. However, Brother Zhou seems not to know many martial artists; if you can't form alliances in the Trial Ground and create your own small group, it will be hard to survive."
After chatting for a while and confirming some details about the Re-examination assessment, Bai Jing cheerfully took his leave. It seemed he had gathered enough resources to purchase a Cloud Entry Token.
Outside the room, people occasionally passed by and lingered at the door for a moment before hurriedly leaving. These individuals appeared anxious and unfriendly; they thought they were unnoticed but had already been detected by Ye Feng's Soul Thought.
"It seems I've attracted quite a few flies. Dealing with them isn't difficult at all; however, killing someone in Ning Cang City would only bring unnecessary trouble. They probably wouldn't dare to attack me but are merely monitoring my movements."
Ye Feng swallowed a Gathering Essence Pill, not paying much attention to it, and sat cross-legged on the bed to continue his cultivation.
The medicinal power of the pill was refined through the Houtu Technique, transforming into pure Earth Elemental Power, which flowed into the Earth Elemental Dan in his Dantian.
"Thunder True Essence cannot be used for now. If I want to quickly enhance my strength, I must elevate the Houtu Technique to the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm before practicing other Supreme Techniques." Aside from the Thunder Elemental Energy that did not require refinement, the Vital Energy of the other six elements needed to be cultivated, which was undoubtedly a massive undertaking. It was unrealistic to improve all Supreme Techniques simultaneously, as it would severely hinder his combat power. Therefore, Ye Feng decided to focus on cultivating the Houtu Technique to the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm first before moving on to other methods.
The Seven Transformations of Chaos Technique consists of seven Supreme Techniques, each with different methods for refining Vital Energy. The circulation of Vital Energy in the Meridian also varies. There are at least a thousand Meridians in the human body, and each Supreme Technique has its own unique Meridian operation path.
Ye Feng immersed himself in cultivation, oblivious to the outside world. In a nearby guest room, several Middle-Aged Warriors gathered together and whispered.
"Have we figured out this kid's background? Does he have any major family backing him? To have reached Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level at such a young age, his background must be significant."
"He shouldn't be from around Ning Cang City; he might have come from far away for the entrance assessment. I just checked; after that Bai Family kid left, he was alone in the room with no experts around keeping watch. Boss, should we just make our move tonight?"
"Shut up! This is Ning Cang City, at Dragon Source Inn. If you act here, you won't even know how you died. Keep monitoring; I don't believe he will stay in the inn forever."
"Boss, if we pull this off, we could strike it rich."
Ten days later, Ye Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air and suddenly opened his eyes. Dense yellow light shot out from his pupils like a long rainbow, gradually dissipating only after reaching ten feet away. After an entire night of cultivation, Ye Feng felt no fatigue; instead, his energy and spirit had significantly increased. His aura transformed from slightly frivolous to heavy and stable—a sign that he had reached a profound level in the Earth-based Supreme Technique Houtu Technique.
"Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level. Although it's just a minor perception shift, it marks a watershed between the mid and late stages of Origin Martial Realm. The Houtu Technique is indeed remarkable; while it may not be as fierce as Thunderbolt Technique, it is solid and substantial. Not only has it thickened my Vital Energy but it has also brought about a subtle transformation in my mindset."
Clenching his fist, he felt the heavy Earth Elemental Power flowing vigorously through his Meridians. He was in high spirits because he had already crossed the threshold of Gangwu Realm; there were no bottlenecks in cultivating Origin Martial Realm for him—he simply needed to accumulate enough Vital Energy.
With few Gathering Essence Pills left and having exhausted them all to elevate Houtu Technique to Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level, Ye Feng realized that the day for re-examination was approaching. However, he did not have many pills suitable for use at Origin Martial Realm and knew it was necessary to purchase some.
As Ye Feng pushed open the inn door, his appearance drew attention from many people since he had been inside for ten days—hard not to attract notice.
"Hey, that kid is out! His aura seems even stronger; could he have made another breakthrough in just over ten days?"
"Impossible! He didn't seem to be at a bottleneck before; how could he break through so easily? Maybe he's been practicing some new Supreme Technique."
These individuals had lower cultivation levels and could not see through Ye Feng's true strength; they could only sense that his aura was more powerful than before.
Ye Feng did not intentionally conceal his aura, but his current presence appeared quite complex. In addition to the heavy Earth Elemental Power, it was mixed with the energies of metal, wood, water, and fire, making his cultivation seem incredibly mysterious.
"This kid has broken through to the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level!" In a nearby guest room, several Middle-Aged Warriors who had waited for ten days changed their expressions slightly, even showing hints of fear and unease.
"How is that possible? The last time I saw him, he had just reached the Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level!" They had finally waited for Ye Feng to appear, but this group couldn't feel happy about it. After all, Ye Feng's current state was too enigmatic, more like a master who could conceal his cultivation at the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level.
"Fortune favors the bold. If this kid is truly a hidden master who can conceal his aura, he should have remained at the Yuan Wu Realm Sixth Level. Although he is now at the Yuan Martial Realm Seventh Level, he is still much weaker than us. Besides, there are five of us; are we really afraid of just one person?" The leader among them said in a deep voice.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you two follow him and continue to monitor his movements. Be sure not to alert him. If you find a good opportunity, report back to us immediately."
The two middle-aged men nodded in agreement and quickly left their room as Ye Feng entered the inn's lobby. After pausing for a moment, they ordered a meal in the lobby while pretending to eat, their eyes occasionally glancing toward Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's Soul Thought had already noticed these two suspicious middle-aged men. However, he was too lazy to expose them. After ten days without food or drink, even with his abundant Vital Energy, he was starting to struggle. The operation of bodily functions and the cultivation of Vital Energy were not the same; unless one could reach the Xuanwu Realm and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth to thoroughly refine their body and form their own True Essence domain, they could not truly achieve fasting and become a saint.
The dining table was once again filled with delicious dishes. Although Ye Feng understood how to eat properly, he did not want to bother with such formalities. He wolfed down the food and finished everything within half an hour.
After eating his fill and settling the bill, Ye Feng approached the Seductive Maid who had previously attended to him and casually asked, "Is there a place nearby where I can buy pills?"
