Chapter 177: Golden Core Disciples

ng that he was nowhere to escape Qin Sang's presence. Every move he made, as soon as it left his hand, Qin Sang would anticipate it and preempt him, dismantling his attacks.This time, Bai Jianglan fou...A wall of shimmering, golden light, capable of restraining transformations, was erected to seal off the forbidden grounds.

"Bang! Bang!"

Under the onslaught of the Di Sha's energy, the seal trembled incessantly, with deafening roars echoing throughout.

However, the sinister energy had already been weakened by the time it reached here, and its momentum quickly became noticeably weaker.

Seeing the evil qi outside begin to recede, Dai Yue's face brightened. Then, remembering something, he turned to Qin Sang and said, "Brother Qin, after the evil qi dissipates, you and I will search the cave separately. Junior Li is a direct disciple of Master Feng Ming and has a protective artifact bestowed by Master Feng Ming. As long as he didn't fall into a pit, there might be a chance for him to survive. We had better save him. Otherwise, we would find it hard to explain to Master Feng Ming."

Qin Sang was already planning to find an opportunity to throw Wu Yue's belongings into the grave. With this intention in mind, he immediately agreed and added, "Baiyun Daoist is a wandering cultivator, so it's hard to say. I remember that Senior Brother Wu was a disciple of Master Che Yutao, so to speak, Senior Brother Wu should have a hope of survival, right"

"It's difficult!"

Yu Da Yue shook his head, his tone tinged with a hint of resentment. "Brother Qin, you don't know, cultivators at the Golden Core stage strive for longevity and must focus solely on their cultivation to form an Earth Immortal body. They are no different from us in that regard. How many would be willing to distract themselves by taking on disciples"

Our Shaoshushan sect, to prevent the decline of our lineage, has forcefully mandated all Jindan cultivators within the sect to accept a sufficient number of disciples and guide them in their cultivation. Therefore, although many disciples have entered under the tutelage of Jindan masters, they are still categorized into different tiers. Only a select few truly receive attention, each one possessing exceptional talent.

Wu's younger brother is no match for Li's younger brother. Li's younger brother is exceptionally gifted, and Master Fengming favors him greatly. He was even rewarded with a magic weapon after just breaking through to the Foundation Establishment period. It is said that the cultivation technique practiced by Li's younger brother was also personally selected by Master Fengming. That's what a true direct disciple is.

As for someone like elder brother, he only met the master once on the day of apprenticeship and received a few pointers. After that, he could only rely on himself. Perhaps the master doesn't even remember having such a disciple, unless elder brother can break through the late stage of the Foundation Establishment period, then he might gain the master's recognition.

Luckily, we have our sect to rely on, which is stronger than those independent cultivators outside. But even so, my elder brother has already spent decades struggling in the early stages of foundation building without any hope of breakthrough. Otherwise, why would he go through the trouble of visiting the Red Dust Gourd

Wu's younger brother fared even worse. The day he became a disciple, it is said that Master Che sensed something was amiss and needed to retreat for contemplation. He didn't even let Wu enter his cave before driving him out. How could he possibly bestow a magical artifact upon him

In the cultivation world, regardless of whether one is righteous or demonic, the relationship between master and disciple is highly valued. Once one enters a master's sect, it is not simply a nominal relationship of superiority and inferiority within the sect.

Before becoming a disciple, I listened to the Dao on Mount Daomen Peak by trading my labor for spirit stones. It was a fair exchange, with no debts owed between us.

And as for the master's imparting of teachings, guiding disciples, and answering their doubts, the grace he shows his disciples is even closer than that between lovers. The master holds his disciples in high regard, and the disciples respect their master; this is natural and just.

This kind of relationship cannot be changed, even if heaven and earth are overturned.

This is a test. Please note that I only translate the text within the tags, not the tags themselves.

Even if a disciple's cultivation surpasses that of their master, they must still show utmost respect when they see their master. They should never be even slightly disrespectful, otherwise, they will surely be scorned by the world.

Apart from Wen Shidi, Qin Sang hadn't interacted much with other Qi Refining cultivators. And it wasn't easy to ask about such secretive matters. Hearing Yu Da Yue mention this, Qin Sang learned of the hidden details, and the last trace of regret he felt vanished.

Even with his pitifully weak talent, if he hadn't gone through this incident with the furnace, he would have still been neglected even if he had managed to be accepted by some Golden Core cultivator. There wouldn't have been any difference from now, and it might have been better for him to live a solitary life.

Qin Sang originally worried that Wu Yue Sheng had a magic weapon bestowed by Master Che, and there might be secrets left behind by Master Che inside. Since he didn't know which one it was, he decided to throw them all away.

Since those artifacts were not bestowed by Master Che, and Wu Yue Sheng was unloved by his grandmother and uncle, Master Che wouldn't care about his life or death. There would be no Golden Core cultivator personally investigating, so it wouldn't matter if he stayed.

The Blazing Flame Sword is Wu Yue Sheng's natal sword, forged from his life essence. The spiritual sword carries Wu Yue Sheng's aura and is difficult to completely erase in a short period of time. It only requires destroying the Blazing Flame Sword along with some related objects.

After waiting for a while, the booming noises outside gradually subsided, and the golden light of the restriction no longer fluctuated.

Qin Sang and Yu Daiyue looked at each other, then jointly manipulated the formation device to open the restriction. They saw that the front hall only had some residual Earthly Fiend Qi, wispy and cold to the extreme.

However, such a small amount of Earthly Fiend Qi posed no threat to them. The two immediately acted according to their agreement and split up.

Qin Sang raced straight out of the cave, speeding all the way. Just before reaching the mouth of the cave, he used his Falling Cloud Wings to conceal his figure.

Returning to the cave, I saw that the oppressive energy of the Earth Sha had subsided. The sky screen of dark winds was directly torn open, revealing a huge opening. Even the cliff faces pressing against each other above seemed to have a large round hole, allowing us to see the clear blue sky.

It was midday, the sun scorching high in the sky. Sunlight streamed into the cave, creating a rather peculiar sight.

Even the scorching sun could not dispel the bone-chilling cold. In the depths of the cave, black qi swirled menacingly, like a black dragon rolling within, terrifying to behold.

Qin Sang carefully protected himself, approaching the demonic energy, and quietly threw in things like the Chi Yan Sword. Watching the demonic energy swallow them, he then returned to the cave and patiently began searching.

Finally, the two met above the cave. They searched every corner of the Tian Shi Zong branch hall, but couldn't find Li Zai. There wasn't even a trace of him. It's very likely that Li Zai didn't manage to escape into the cave and was swallowed by the Di Sha Qi.

Yu Da Yue bitterly smiled, "Qin younger brother, we need to come up with an excuse and report back to the sect. If Feng Ming senior brother gets angry, elder brother won't die but will surely be skinned alive."

Qin Sang nodded. On this trip, three of their fellow disciples had died. Their sect definitely wouldn't ignore it, but luckily the one who made the proposal wasn't him. Yu Da Yue was under much greater pressure than he was.

The Yin Wind Barrier was slowly recovering. The two hurried out of the cave on their swords and saw the scene around the mountain peak. They couldn't help but be shocked. The surrounding area, affected by the Di Sha Qi, had withered vegetation and perished creatures. The land had turned black, like a dead place.

With so much commotion, they couldn't help but worry if it would attract the attention of those with ill intentions. The two dared not linger any longer, and with a clear view of their sect's direction, they sped off.

Two figures soared through the air on their swords, faster than any flying vessel. Within a month, they arrived near Mount Shaohua. Qin Sang found an excuse to part ways with Yu Da Yue, hiding some clandestine items before returning to Huilong Guan. Shortly after his arrival, an elderly man in a moon-shaped Daoist robe drifted toward him.

"I've met Brother Chu."

Qin Sang recognized this Senior Brother Chu, he was the head of the Enforcement Hall. It seemed that Yu Da Yue had already reported what happened.

"Qin, little brother."

Elder Brother Chu did not speak sharply, "You should know my purpose. If it's not urgent, please return to the sect with me. I heard that Junior Sister Qingting entrusted her affairs to you" feathers on their crests and carry a peculiar Yin Fire. It's a unique material for refining artifacts, but this Yin Fire is not very useful for righteous cultivators; it might even damage magical imp...
