Lin Xiaofei walked slowly down the street, where he saw countless cultivators walking and discussing among themselves.
Many cultivators walked down a main street, heading towards a large mansion.
These monks poured in from all directions of the streets.
The reason so many cultivators have arrived is mainly because Ren Yiyan, a true disciple of the Lingxiang Sect, is still recruiting experts at the early Nascent Soul stage and above.
Some cultivators, drawn by the spectacle, flocked to the vicinity of Ren Yiyan's residence.
Lin Xiaofei followed behind, listening to the conversations of many cultivators.
Have you heard?
All cultivators who are recognized by Ren Yiyan of the Lingxiang Sect and who are willing to go to Youming Mountain together will receive a reward.
Furthermore, Ren Yiyan also announced that any cultivator who followed him into the Netherworld Mountain and returned alive would receive additional rewards.
"Yes, I've already heard about it."
Ren Yiyan has already gathered ten Nascent Soul stage cultivators, plus five from the Spirit Elephant Sect, making a total of fifteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
Together, they will form a formidable force.
...
Listening to the discussions along the way, Lin Xiaofei soon arrived near a mansion.
"The temporary team that Ren Yiyan assembled was indeed powerful, with each member being a Nascent Soul cultivator."
However, once they step into the Netherworld Mountain, the dark power will weaken their strength by at least ten percent.
In addition, the Netherworld Mountain is home to countless Netherworld Beasts, and encountering them would lead to a great battle, making it fraught with danger.
Of course, if one can slay the Netherworld Beast, one can find more treasures in the Netherworld Mountain. Just thinking about it makes one envious.
By the way, this time, such a powerful team has entered the Netherworld Mountain. Will you be going?
"Of course I'll go."
Ren Yiyan of the Lingxiang Sect will lead the way, and once they enter the Netherworld Mountain, they will definitely clear out any monsters that appear along the way.
After they slay the powerful monster, we only need to follow them from a distance, and then choose an area to search for treasures on our own.
Isn't that wonderful?
"Isn't this too dangerous?"
It should be noted that even Nascent Soul cultivators could perish if they entered.
"Fortune favors the bold; only those who are courageous and willing to take risks can find treasures."
Besides, I have been at the peak of the Golden Core stage for over two hundred years.
Currently, my cultivation level has not progressed at all. However, there are Dark Flowers and Dark Grasses in this Netherworld Mountain. These spiritual herbs can be of some help to me in breaking through my cultivation level.
So this time, even if it means death, I will go in.
If I could obtain a Grade 3 Dark Flower, I would have a chance to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Once I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, my lifespan will increase by at least a thousand years. The temptation is simply too great.
You all agree, right?
"That's right."
The few of us have been stuck at the peak of the Golden Core stage for quite some time.
If we haven't made a breakthrough in another fifty or sixty years, we will also turn into dust. Rather than waiting to turn into dust, we might as well fight to the death.
Within the Netherworld Mountain, there are not only Netherworld Flowers and Netherworld Grass, but also Netherworld Stones and second-tier Netherworld Beasts. These treasures can all be of some help in our breakthroughs.
...
"What a group of spirited Golden Core cultivators!"
Lin Xiaofei listened for a few moments, sighed inwardly, and then arrived at the gate of Ren Yiyan's residence.
At the gate of the mansion stood two Foundation Establishment stage guards. Lin Xiaofei stepped forward and addressed one of them, saying, "
I am the Black God True Lord. Not long ago, I was invited by the High Mountain True Lord to come today to assist the Ren Yiyan True Lord in exploring the Netherworld Mountain.
"So it's the Black God True Lord. My Ren Yiyan True Lord has been waiting for you for a long time."
I will lead the way now; you will come with me to meet True Lord Ren Yiyan.
The man was startled and quickly said respectfully.
"Okay, thank you for leading the way."
Lin Xiaofei responded and then followed the cultivator into the mansion.
Lin Xiaofei followed behind that man, walking along the corridor of the mansion.
On both sides of the corridor, there were mountains and rivers, with elegant scenery. There were also formations set up in the area, which absorbed the spiritual energy drifting in the air and gathered it into the mansion.
Lin Xiaofei sighed inwardly, "No wonder it's the residence of a true disciple of the Spirit Elephant Sect."
Soon, they arrived at the very center of the mansion and entered a large living room.
Lin Xiaofei glanced around and was slightly startled. There were more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators gathered in the living room.
Meanwhile, Ren Yiyan, a true disciple of the Lingxiang Sect, sat in the head seat, chatting and laughing with other cultivators.
He didn't recognize any of these dozen or so Nascent Soul stage cultivators, except for Gao Yueshan.
"Master Black God, you've finally arrived."
At this moment, Gao Yueshan stood up and walked over. He said loudly.
"True Lord Gaoyue Mountain, am I not late?"
Lin Xiaofei said it softly.
"You've come at just the right time."
As he spoke, Gao Yueshan stepped forward, looked Lin Xiaofei up and down, his eyes lighting up in surprise, and said:
I really didn't expect that you would break through to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm in just half a month. Your cultivation speed is really fast.
Judging from the aura emanating from you, you're clearly not weak.
"It was just a lucky breakthrough. Compared to True Monarch Gao Yueshan, my realm is still very low."
Lin Xiaofei made a polite remark.
Gao Yueshan glanced at Lin Xiaofei, smiled, and then said:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the fourth-grade spiritual plant master I have invited.
He will assist my senior brother, Ren Yiyan, in rapidly accelerating the growth of the 490-year-old Dark Flower discovered in the Netherworld Mountain to 500 years old.
"He looks so young. It's unbelievable that someone so young has become a fourth-grade spirit plant master."
Suddenly, a Nascent Soul cultivator among the group spoke calmly.
"Yes, I also think he couldn't possibly be a fourth-grade spirit plant master."
A moment later, several more Nascent Soul stage cultivators spoke in low voices.
"Alright, everyone, please be quiet."
Gao Yueshan waved his hand at the crowd and then turned to Lin Xiaofei, saying, "
True Lord Black God, it is truly unbelievable that you have become a fourth-grade spirit plant master at such a young age.
If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes in Red Forest City, I wouldn't have believed it either.
Everyone is now suspicious of you, so you need to prove yourself to everyone. Of course, most importantly, you need to prove to my senior brother Ren Yiyan that you have the level of a fourth-grade spiritual plant master.
Otherwise, you are not qualified to go to the Netherworld Mountain with us.
"Then how do you need me to prove it?"
Lin Xiaofei asked casually.
He truly possesses the skill level of a fourth-grade early-stage spirit plant master; as long as he demonstrates his abilities, he will naturally prove it.
"Ten days ago, I obtained a Red Dragon Grass in a deep mountain, which had been bitten in half by a demon beast."
The Red Dragon Grass is a Grade Three spiritual herb. Now, its leaves are gone. If you can make the Red Dragon Grass regrow a single tender leaf, it means you are a Grade Three high-level spiritual plant master. If you can make it regrow three tender leaves, it proves you are a Grade Four spiritual plant master.
An old man took out a Red Dragon Grass that had been half-eaten by a demonic beast from his storage bag, and then spoke calmly.
The others all looked at Lin Xiaofei with a hint of curiosity.
In their minds, every cultivator who could become a fourth-grade spirit plant master had to have cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage, or even the Divine Transformation stage.
Lin Xiaofei, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the early stage, was so young that it was hard for the many Nascent Soul cultivators present to believe that he was a fourth-grade spirit plant master.
Furthermore, every cultivator who can become a fourth-grade spirit plant master is renowned and well-known, but the Black God True Monarch before us seems to have appeared out of thin air; we have never heard of him before.
