Chapter 4

Little Gan Mountain is located at the intersection of Rong, Dansu, and Zheng states, with eleven peaks, nine great ridges, and twenty waterfall pools. In the vast southern region of the Dongmi Continent, it was once selected as one of the four hundred famous mountains in the southern region.

The beautiful and strange places among them need not be mentioned.

And as the location of the sect gate, when the Profound Truth Sect Master established his foundation here thirty years ago, he established five rooms: Punishment Room, Merit Room, Service Room, Spirit-Feeding Room, and Elder Room, to divide and manage sect affairs.

When Chen Hang arrived at the Service Room of Huiyue Peak, the square that could accommodate a thousand people was already sparsely filled with four or five hundred people.

Looking from afar, there were many Daoists driving true qi down from the high sky, and various colors of light intertwined and flowed, like fire trees and silver flowers, which was very beautiful.

"Thank you, Senior Sister, for taking me along." Chen Hang bowed to the graceful female cultivator beside him.

Her whole body was shrouded in brilliant purple-blue true qi, her graceful figure like a beauty snake appearing and disappearing, like flowers in the fog, making her look even more charming.

From the Luoxia Peak where Chen Hang lived to this Huiyue Peak, with his foot strength, walking from noon to dark, he might not succeed.

Chen Hang originally wanted to wait for Xu Zhi to take him along, but before he had walked a few steps, he was rolled to her side by the female cultivator with true qi, unable to escape.

Fortunately, this beautiful female cultivator had no malice.

The situation was stronger than the person, so Chen Hang had to simply listen to her.

"Junior Brother's smile is truly beautiful, no, even if you don't smile, it's extremely beautiful... It's no wonder that Yan Zhen would rack her brains for you..."

Chen Hang wore a moon-white robe today. The mountain wind was biting, and he wore a black-gold crane cloak outside. With wide robes and large sleeves, even among hundreds of Daoists, he was like a crane standing among chickens, and his bearing was not like an ordinary person, with a detached and drifting style.

The female cultivator looked at his transcendent eyebrows and eyes, her throat moved slightly, and her gaze became even more intense.

"Does Junior Brother know my name? Remember, my name is Yu Wanchou. If you can't hold on in the Earth Abyss, you can call me at any time."

The originally noisy and chaotic venue suddenly became silent for a moment after Chen Hang appeared.

Seeing this situation, even though Yu Wanchou had ten thousand reluctances, she had to stuff the jade talisman for sending letters into Chen Hang's hand, smile softly, and leave.

"A jade talisman for sending letters?"

Chen Hang put away the jade talisman. Suddenly, his back felt a chill, as if he had been stared at by some kind of predatory beast.

He looked back.

Only to see in the crowd, a man wearing a yellow robe with sharp eyebrows reaching into his temples was staring at him dead, the naked killing intent almost spraying out, his face ferocious.

"Yan Ping?"

Chen Hang glanced at him and sneered coldly.

Yan Ping was provoked by this indifferent attitude, and his true qi suddenly erupted like an angry wind and waves.

But in full view of everyone, although he wished he could fly his sword and chop Chen Hang into ten thousand pieces, he could only forcefully suppress his killing intent, turning his head away with a dark face, his lips trembling.

Chen Hang was too lazy to pay much attention to him, simply finding a windless place, wrapping himself tightly in the cloak, and closing his eyes, motionless.

Another half a stick of incense passed.

After all the Profound Truth Sect Daoists who received the talisman gathered here, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the sky, and in just a few breaths, a green heavenly palace descended.

In the heavenly palace, the three great elders Yan Feichen, Gu Jun, and Chengji Master all sat in their seats, and in the mysterious crane cloud couch in the depths of the palace, sat a young man with a handsome appearance.

The young man's nose was like a hanging gall, his eyebrows reached into his temples, and his skin was as white and smooth as a baby's. He looked like he was in his twenties, wearing a jade robe, python belt, and purple-gold high crown, dressed not like a cultivator, but more like a wealthy prince of a secular dynasty.

"Greetings, Sect Master, Elders."

The group of Profound Truth Sect Daoists below all bowed and saluted the green heavenly palace.

"Those who come to Huiyue Peak today have all received the Earth Abyss talisman from the Service Room. That place is the place of the Earth Abyss, and the dangers and taboos within have been mentioned one by one in the Daoist books, so I won't repeat them."

The young man on the mysterious crane cloud couch laughed lightly. As he moved, it was like a great sun falling from the clouds, divine light reflecting in the sky, shining brightly.

His voice rang clearly in the ears of the hundreds of Daoists below, low and thick:

"Coming here today, I will only say one thing.

Anyone who can hunt Yin Horses and Human-Face Mushrooms for me, I will record three hundred merits, reward eight thousand talisman coins, eight superior Daoist techniques, and three taels of jade marrow. This item has no limit for me, naturally the more the better, the more the better!"

When the words fell, the infinite Dragon-Tiger True Essence rose from the young man's crown, shrouding his whole body and flowing endlessly. Anyone who saw it knew it was miraculous.

"Go."

The young man reached out and pointed, and the Dragon-Tiger True Essence on his crown divided into thin threads, falling onto the red ropes on the wrists of the hundreds of Daoists present.

Chen Hang only felt the red rope on his wrist shake, and a gentle and thick breath poured in, warming his body that had been slightly stiffened by the mountain wind.

Along with it, the Cold Battle True Qi in his body also slowed down for a moment.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! The Sect Master is worthy of being from the Shangyu Ai family, a high-born family, truly with extensive family learning! This technique of shifting qi mechanism, I, the old Daoist, am truly ashamed of myself!"

In the heavenly palace, Chengji Master, whose long beard reached the ground, clapped his hands in praise, squeezing out a bit of flattery on his round, fat face.

Even someone as arrogant as Yan Feichen had a stagnant expression at this time, his eyes flickering with indescribable light.

Although he had also achieved the first realm of the Cave-Mystic—Dragon-Tiger Furnace.

But if he wanted to divide so much True Essence in one breath, he still lacked the strength.

"Looking at it this way, this child is not just absorbing the five essences, I'm afraid he has already condensed the innate gold and mercury, and it's not far from achieving the Golden Core!"

Yan Feichen calmly gripped his trembling palm.

Since that was the case, the originally discussed plan could only be changed a little.

"I have given you a thread of the Dragon-Tiger True Essence that I have conceived, attached to the red rope. With it in hand, the ordinary Yin-God demons and ghosts in the Earth Abyss will have to fear it by three points."

The young man flicked his sleeves again, and rays of light wrapped in pills and talisman coins descended from the eaves of the heavenly palace, like thousands of stars falling.

Chen Hang took the light that flew towards him, and after seeing the two white porcelain bottles of pills inside, his heart relaxed.

"At the time of the summer solstice next year, when the Yang is clear and growing and the Yin is low and born, I will personally lead you into the Earth Abyss."

Another thunderclap exploded.

The green heavenly palace suddenly rose into the sky and jumped onto the ten-thousand-foot clouds, leaving only the young man's voice echoing in place, lingering for a long time.

Returning to the cave dwelling, after saying goodbye to Xu Zhi who had specifically sent him a ride.

Chen Hang closed the door, sat down to adjust his breath on the meditation cushion, and poured out a Small White Yang Pill.

This pill was only the size of a silkworm bean. When placed in the palm, it actually had a slight burning sensation, and its body emitted a strange medicinal fragrance that was hard to describe.

He looked at it for a moment, and without hesitation, threw it into the clear water in the cup and drank it down.
