The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 215: Cave and Medicinal Field

The residence of the direct disciples of the Yu Lei Sect is at the foot of the Purple Thunder Mountain, in a continuous valley called Jingxin Valley. Mou Xuyou brought Pan Chengfeng, Shuang'er and the other two girls to the registration office. A registrar with the cultivation level of a spirit, about forty years old, dressed in the clothes of an inner sect disciple, bowed and said, "Disciple greets Uncle Master Mou." Mou Xuyou smiled and said, "Nephew Wang, there is no need to be polite. These two are Master's new disciples. My old cave is still there, right? Is there a cave connected to it? Help them arrange it."

Junior-Martial-Nephew Wang looked up at Pan Chengfeng and the three girls, and thought to himself, "There are actually people who want to take Grandmaster Qiu as their master? It's rare." After thinking about it, he still replied respectfully, "Grandmaster Qiu instructed that the cave residence has always been reserved for the grandmaster's disciples. It just so happened that last year, one of his disciples broke through to the Void Refining stage and opened up a cave residence on the waist of Purple Thunder Mountain, which is adjacent to the cave residence you lived in before."

Mou Xuyou thought for a moment and said, "You mean Du Yu, Junior Brother Du? Has he also made a breakthrough?" Junior Nephew Wang said, "It is Uncle Du." Mou Xuyou smiled and said, "Okay, Junior Brother Du made a breakthrough but didn't tell me. I'll punish him." Pan Chengfeng asked curiously, "Are Senior Brother Du and Senior Brother Mou familiar with each other?"

Mou Xuyou said, "Yes, we have been neighbors for more than 300 years, how can we not be familiar with each other? It just so happens that his cave is adjacent to my previous cave, so you and Junior Sister Shuang'er can each have a room." As he was speaking, a discordant voice was heard, "I was wondering who this is, it turns out to be the disciple of Elder Qiu, Senior Brother Mou." Several people looked back and saw three people wearing dark purple disciple uniforms walked in, but the seals on their chests were different.

Mou Xuyou glanced at the few people and bowed, saying, "So it's Junior Brother Yu. Who are these two?" Junior Brother Yu introduced them with a smile, "These two are the new outer sect disciples who have reached the level of Spiritualization. They are Yu Qian and Guo Ping. Come and meet Senior Brother Mou." A man and a woman came over to pay their respects. Mou Xuyou supported them and said, "Junior Brother Yu and Junior Sister Guo, there's no need to be polite."

Mou Xuyou continued, "The two beside me are also disciples that Master has just accepted. They are Junior Brother Pan Chengfeng and Junior Sister Gu Lingshuang. You also came to meet Senior Brother Yu." Pan Chengfeng asked in a voice transmission as he walked, "Senior Brother, who is this guy? He doesn't seem very friendly." Mou Xuyou replied, "The one in front is Yu Fu, the disciple and nephew of the elder who passed on the skills. The two behind him, Yu Qian, is the grandson of the elder who passed on the skills. It seems that Guo Ping is also their cousin."

Pan Chengfeng thought to himself, "Master Yu Qian knew this earlier, but I didn't expect to meet him so soon." Pan Chengfeng said with a fake smile, "Junior brother, I meet the three senior brothers and sisters." Shuang'er also bowed and greeted him. Yu Qian looked at Pan Chengfeng with anger in his eyes, and Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yu, I didn't expect to meet him so soon. We are really destined to meet."

Yu Qian said coldly, "Yes, it's only been more than a year, and you came here just after I broke through." Yu Fu was surprised and asked, "Do you know each other?" Yu Qian didn't say anything, and Pan Chengfeng didn't say much. Yu Fu said, "Okay, let me choose a cave for you, nephew Wang, are there two caves next to each other?"

Junior nephew Wang said in embarrassment: "This..., originally there were two caves connected together, but they have been reserved by Junior Uncle Mou and his men." Yu Fu turned to Mou Xuyou and said: "Senior Brother Mou, you see, these two juniors of mine know each other and would like to live in adjacent caves. Senior Brother Mou, please make it convenient for us. I am willing to give you some compensation."

Just as Mou Xuyou was about to refuse, Pan Chengfeng grabbed Mou Xuyou and said, "I wonder what kind of compensation Brother Yu can give me? If you are satisfied, I don't mind giving up the cave." He tossed the cave token in his hand up and down. Yu Qian subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and Yu Fu smiled and said, "I will give each of you one thousand high-quality crystal beads as compensation, how about that?"

Pan Chengfeng suddenly had two egg-sized top-quality crystal beads in his hand and said, "Brother Yu Fu, I have plenty of these top-quality crystal beads. If you have 1000 top-quality crystal beads, I will give you the cave token right away." Yu Fu said angrily, "You! You did it on purpose!" Pan Chengfeng said, "I am sincere... I want to trade with Brother Yu Fu, but Brother Yu Fu seems reluctant to give up the crystal beads." Yu Fu sneered, "Okay, if that's the case, then forget it. You two can pick any two."

Pan Chengfeng said with a smile: "Brother Yu Fu, whenever you want to change, come to me anytime. I am willing to change at any time." Pan Chengfeng took the lead and left with a few people. Yu Fu said angrily: "Who is this guy? Don't you know Yu Qian?" Yu Qian said: "Two years ago, when I went to the secret realm of Yougu, it was this guy who ruined my plan. However, at that time, he should still be a casual cultivator, but he seemed to have some connection with the Beast Taming Sect. Now he has become the direct disciple of Elder Qiu, which is incredible." Yu Fu sneered: "You know how bad Qiu Xiaotian's reputation is in the sect. It's not surprising that he accepted him as his direct disciple. There are two disciples, one at the fourth level of foundation building and the other at the sixth level. Maybe he just wanted to cheat some resources."

Guo Ping said in disbelief: "Isn't Elder Qiu a great master in the late stage of fusion? How could he do such a shameful thing?" Yu Qian smiled and said: "My cousin has just come to the Yu Lei Sect for a short time. It's not surprising that she doesn't know the reputation of this great elder Qiu. I will tell you about it when I have time. It's a pity that I can't live next to you. It will be troublesome to meet in the future." Guo Ping said shyly: "As long as my cousin has me in his heart, it's fine." Yu Fu smiled and said: "The elders in your family have all agreed to your marriage, so it's okay even if you live together."

Pan Chengfeng took a few people away. Mou Xuyou said worriedly, "Junior brother, you were a little impulsive just now. If you play tricks on Yu Fu, aren't you afraid that he will hold a grudge and cause trouble for you then?" Pan Chengfeng smiled and said, "Even if you don't play tricks on him, I don't think he plans to not cause trouble for me. I have had a grudge with Yu Qian a few years ago." Several people looked at Pan Chengfeng strangely. The people hadn't arrived yet, but he had already offended the people from the Yu Lei Sect.

Seeing the inquiring looks from the others, Pan Chengfeng briefly explained the situation in the Secret Valley. Only then did they realize that they had been at odds with each other for a long time. Pan Chengfeng said, "Yu Qian is a hypocrite who has brought shame to our Yu Lei Sect. Now that he sees me, he must be thinking about how to take revenge on me. What is his background?"

Mou Xuyou said: "The Yu family is still very powerful in the Yu Lei Sect, and many of their disciples have joined the sect. The most influential among them is naturally the elder who teaches the skills, Elder Yu Sheren. The next one is Yu Shuren, the Yu Palace Master. The two are cousins, Yu Sheren is at the peak of the middle stage of the fusion, and Yu Shuren is at the middle stage of the fusion. The Yu family is also the largest family in Jin State, with many geniuses, and it has been passed down for more than 100,000 years. I heard that there is also an ancestor in the family who is in seclusion and has reached the peak of the fusion."

Pan Chengfeng's calf trembled a little, but fortunately his mental state was good enough, so he didn't collapse directly. I thought that with a master in the late stage of fusion, I dare not say Aotian Continent, but I can always walk sideways in Dongzhou, right? Now I know that I was too naive. Mu Xuyou seemed to feel Pan Chengfeng's reaction and smiled: "Junior brother, are you scared now?" Pan Chengfeng forced himself to be calm and said: "I'm not afraid of him, at worst I won't leave Zilei Mountain!" The girls were also a little worried. Shuang'er asked hurriedly: "The Yu family is so powerful, what if they retaliate against the young master?"

This is what Pan Chengfeng wanted to ask. Mou Xuyou laughed and said proudly, "Our master is not a pushover. Although he has a bad reputation, his strength is there. The ancestor of the Yu family is seeking a breakthrough. It is not a matter of life and death for the Yu family, so he will not come out easily. Now the Yu family has Yu Sheren and Yu Shuren with the highest cultivation, and they are no match for the master. Also, the master's father is the ancestor of the Beast Taming Sect. His cultivation is higher than the master, and he should soon break through to the peak of the fusion." Pan Chengfeng slapped his head and thought to himself, "How could I forget about the Beast Taming Sect. It seems that no matter in the past life or now, there needs to be a force behind it to support it."

Several people chatted and soon arrived at Shuang'er's cave. Mou Xuyou said, "Junior sister Shuang'er and the two sisters of the Zhong family, you can practice in this cave. The area within a radius of 500 miles is yours and you can arrange it as you like. There is a small medicinal field behind the cave where you can grow some spiritual herbs and medicines." Pan Chengfeng was delighted and asked, "There is a medicinal field? The Yu Lei Sect is really generous." Mou Xuyou said, "This medicinal field was not given by the sect. Junior brother Du and I built it together. We worked hard for this medicinal field back then."

Several people followed Mou Xuyou to the back of the cave and saw a spiritual field of about one acre in size. Pan Chengfeng said happily: "I heard that it is not easy to make a medicinal field. Cultivating spiritual soil is a tedious and time-consuming task." Mou Xuyou smiled and said: "That's right. Cultivating one acre of spiritual soil is not cheap, and the income from growing spiritual medicine is often long-term, and there is no profit in a short period of time. Therefore, sects that are not specialized in cultivating spiritual medicines generally do not spend time cultivating spiritual soil and growing spiritual medicines. But Junior Brother Du likes to play with these flowers and plants, so I helped him to make this medicinal field. But it took us ten years to complete it. Now you can use ready-made ones and directly buy seeds to plant them."

Pan Chengfeng said happily, "Fortunately we took this cave first, otherwise that bastard would have gotten it. By the way, where can we exchange for seeds?" Mu Xuyou said, "You have just entered the sect, and you have 100 points. Ordinary seeds are exchanged for 1 point, and good ones are 5 points. The seeds of those rare spiritual medicines are ridiculously expensive! Some even cost tens of thousands of points to exchange for one." Pan Chengfeng blinked and said, "What kind of seeds are these? Tens of thousands of points? Why don't the sects go and rob them?" Mu Xuyou said, "I don't know, I haven't exchanged them. But I heard that they seem to be spiritual medicines needed by the great masters of the fusion body." Pan Chengfeng was speechless, and thought to himself, "Forget it, let's plant some spiritual medicines for body refining and foundation building first, don't be too ambitious."

The Zhong sisters went to clean up the cave first, and Shuang'er followed Pan Chengfeng and Mu Xuyou to see where Pan Chengfeng's cave was. The three flew for a few minutes, and Pan Chengfeng saw a small hill filled with smoke, birds singing and flowers blooming. Pan Chengfeng sniffed and said, "Brother Mu, is that the hill? Such a rich spiritual energy, a good place." Mu Xuyou smiled and said, "Haha, that's it!"

After they landed, Pan Chengfeng hurried into the cave to check out the bedroom, practice room, alchemy room, and weapon refining room. There was actually a small spring, bubbling with white steam. Pan Chengfeng reached into the pool and said in surprise, "Hot spring?" Mu Xuyou smiled and said, "This is a spring. I used to meditate by the pool. The spiritual energy here is the most abundant." Pan Chengfeng looked back at Shuang'er and said happily, "Shuang'er, we can take a bath here together in the future!" Shuang'er ran out with her face covered in shame. Her father said angrily, "Young Master is so bad! I won't pay attention to you!"

Mou Xuyou also smiled awkwardly, thinking to himself: "How can this junior brother be so outspoken? I'm still here, and I feel embarrassed." In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Mou Xuyou said: "This cave is ranked among the best in the entire Jingxin Valley. Since I broke through, this cave has been reserved by Master and can only be lived in by his disciples. Master even had a fight with someone for this cave." Pan Chengfeng gossiped: "Oh? What's going on? Senior brother, tell me."

Mou Xuyou said, "It's nothing, actually. I was the first to choose the cave. Then a disciple wanted to exchange caves with me. At that time, I had just advanced to the Spiritualization Stage. Master saw me being bullied, so he stood up for me and taught that person a lesson. But that person's master came to argue with him, saying that Master was disrespectful and that juniors should solve their own problems. Master ended up beating up that person's master, haha." Pan Chengfeng touched his chin and thought to himself, "He's protecting his child. This is a good character."
