Qin Feng glanced at the group of young men and women, but didn't say anything; he simply nodded slightly.
The young men and women were all quite young, around twenty years old.
Their cultivation levels were all just average, ranging from the seventh to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
However, the young men and women all possessed excellent physical attributes and top-quality spiritual roots of different attributes.
If all goes well, and they can pass the trial tournament, they will definitely become the personal disciples of the elders of the Backing Mountain Sect.
Seeing Qin Feng's cold attitude, the young men and women didn't say anything more or get angry. Instead, they tactfully stepped aside.
Qin Feng was somewhat surprised by this. He had thought that these kids would be dissatisfied with his attitude and would at least make a few noises.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not do so, but also wisely stepped aside.
This shows that these little guys must all have good character!
Qin Feng sized up the young men and women and noticed that their clothes were very ordinary, and they didn't even have storage rings.
This suggests that they were all of ordinary origin and not disciples of any particular cultivation family.
It is highly likely that he stumbled upon an opportunity by chance, which led him to embark on the path of cultivation.
Otherwise, given their talent, it's impossible that they're still only at the Qi Refining stage at this age.
If they had been nurtured by a family, with their talent, they should have at least reached the Golden Core Realm by now!
One of the handsome men noticed Qin Feng staring at them and couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, why are you staring at us?"
Upon hearing this, the others suddenly looked at Qin Feng with wary expressions.
"You misunderstood. I was just lost in thought!" Qin Feng explained with a smile.
None of the handsome men believed Qin Feng's words, but none of them said anything. They simply remained wary of Qin Feng and retreated to a distance of more than ten meters.
Seeing this, Qin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. These little guys were being far too wary, weren't they?
This is the territory of the Backing Mountain Sect. Who would dare to cause trouble here?
However, it's understandable. These kids have no background and have achieved their current level of cultivation on their own, so they must have gone through a lot of dangers along the way.
Being overly cautious is perfectly normal.
Just then, a loud male voice suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the entire square.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I am about to announce the trial content and rules for this year's Trial Tournament!"
The person who spoke hovered about ten meters in the air, looking down at the entire scene.
This person is a steward from the outer sect of the Backing Mountain Sect, with the cultivation level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and is the person in charge of this trial conference.
After scanning the room and seeing that it had quieted down, Deacon Yu slowly began to speak.
This year's trial tournament is different from previous years; both the trial content and the rules have been changed.
This year's Trial Tournament will no longer include spiritual root testing, and the gravity staircase test has also been cancelled.
This year's trial tournament has only one task: to cross the Monster Forest and reach the outer gate square of the Kaoshan Sect.
You can team up or go alone.
In addition, the Kaoshan Sect will only recruit one hundred people this year.
In other words, only the first hundred people to arrive at the outer gate square will be able to join the Kaoshan Sect.
Tens of thousands of people were recruited, but only one hundred were accepted. This made everyone except Qin Feng and his son feel extremely heavy-hearted.
Among tens of thousands of people, 99% are independent cultivators without any background, and 99% of them don't even have a single magic weapon.
How can you compete with people who have connections?
Ultimately, only a handful of independent cultivators will be able to join the Backing Mountain Sect as they wish.
Seeing the commotion, Steward Yu shouted, "I haven't finished speaking! Quiet down!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
"Hmph!" Deacon Yu snorted coldly and said, "To be fair, once you enter the Demon Beast Forest, regardless of your cultivation level, you will all be suppressed to the fifth level of Qi Refining by the great formation!"
"Apart from that, there are no other restrictions!"
"You can use any means necessary!"
"If you don't want to die, crush your trial token the moment your life is threatened!"
"The trial token contains a one-time short-range teleportation array that can teleport you back here!"
Deacon Yu's words immediately caused another uproar at the scene.
There are no restrictions, and any means are acceptable! This is definitely not good news for all independent cultivators.
Because almost all independent cultivators lack magical treasures, this alone puts them at a disadvantage.
However, the only saving grace is that everyone's cultivation level will be suppressed to the fifth level of Qi Refining.
Without saying anything more, Deacon Yu immediately announced the official start of the trial tournament.
Immediately afterwards, some people rushed into the nearby Monster Forest.
Many people hesitated for a while, but ultimately chose to give up and left one after another.
Tens of thousands of people were recruited, but only one hundred were actually accepted. For these people, it was too risky.
Within minutes, less than a thousand people remained hesitant in the entire square.
Qin Feng then pulled Xiao Lin toward the Monster Forest.
The handsome men who had greeted Qin Feng earlier quickly followed after Qin Feng and his son as they left.
The handsome man caught up with Qin Feng and said sincerely, "Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to team up with us?"
The handsome men had been observing Qin Feng and his son, and they all felt that Qin Feng didn't seem like a bad person.
That's why I had the idea of teaming up with Qin Feng and his son!
After all, this trial tournament is extremely disadvantageous for them, the independent cultivators. Only by uniting can they have a chance to pass the trial.
Qin Feng glanced at the handsome men and smiled. "Aren't you worried that my son and I will be a burden to you?"
Qin Feng has only revealed the ninth level of Qi Refining, while Xiao Lin has only revealed the first level in order to avoid attracting attention.
Logically speaking, these people should keep their distance from the father and son.
After all, Xiao Lin is just a burden on the surface!
The handsome man glanced at Xiao Lin subconsciously, then said, "Fellow Daoist, although your son is only at the first level of Qi Refining, you are at the ninth level!"
"I feel that you must be very strong, which is why I want to invite you to team up with us!"
"You can rest assured, if we encounter any danger, we will definitely not abandon you and your son!"
"I promise I will stand with you and your son through thick and thin!"
Qin Feng glanced at the handsome man. The man seemed very sincere, but you can't judge a book by its cover, so he naturally wouldn't trust him so easily.
However, with his strength, there's nothing to worry about.
Could a few mere Qi Refining Realm kids possibly outmaneuver them, father and son?
Considering that it would attract too much attention if the father and son passed the trial, Qin Feng weighed the options and nodded. "Alright, I agree to team up with you!"
"After entering the Monster Forest, I hope you will all take care of my son and me!"
