After half a day's time.
The group also arrived at a forest.
"Be vigilant from here on. This forest is filled with rampaging demon beasts. We elders will not make a move on demon beasts below the Tempering Realm. If you cannot even kill demon beasts at the Tempering Realm, you will fail this trial!"
When they reached this point, Elder Fei Jing spoke up.
She then added: "Reminder, killing five Tempering Realm demon beasts will allow you to pass this trial smoothly!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the disciples hurriedly responded.
There was a hint of fear in their tones, but even more so excitement.
As long as they passed this trial, they could continue cultivating in the Crimson Glow Sect.
And they would also obtain plentiful resources.
So these disciples were quite looking forward to this trial.
Upon entering the forest, the disciples also became vigilant.
"Roar!"
Just then, a demon beast suddenly charged out from somewhere.
Su Tong looked over, its strength was at the Tempering Realm.
Which meant it was none of his concern.
"Who will go?"
Elder Fei Jing spoke up at this time.
The disciples were apparently facing a demon beast for the first time, and were somewhat afraid.
But at this moment, a male disciple stepped forward.
"This disciple will take care of the demon beast!"
The male disciple bowed towards Su Tong and Fei Jing, and said.
"Mm!"
Fei Jing nodded.
And that disciple went forth.
A surge of Tempering Realm energy slowly permeated outwards.
Then he began battling with the demon beast.
That disciple didn't seem to have poor talent either, he showed no fear when facing the demon beast.
At the start, the attacks from the demon beast were quite fierce.
But gradually, it started to show signs of defeat.
Although it continued roaring, seemingly ferocious.
In the end it was still killed by that disciple.
"Good, what is your name?"
Seeing that the disciple succeeded in killing a Tempering Realm demon beast, Elder Fei Jing also nodded satisfactorily.
After all elders tended to like disciples who dared to step forward first and also had decent strength.
"This disciple is Qi Qing Lin!"
Qi Qing Lin was also excitedly reporting his own name.
"Mm, okay, I've remembered it!"
Elder Fei Jing nodded at this time, then found Qi Qing Lin's name in a notebook and made a record.
With this kind of encouragement, the other disciples were also raring to go.
For the demon beasts encountered after, those disciples eagerly participated.
Along the way, they did meet quite a number of demon beasts.
But most were at the Tempering Realm.
Occasionally a demon beast at the Refining Realm appeared, and was swiftly killed by two of the ten Refining Realm disciples joining hands.
Su Tong was originally still somewhat interested, but had lost it by now.
The journey so far had been somewhat boring.
And so, after continuing for another half a day.
By now it was already night time.
"Halt, ferocious demon beasts in the forest multiply at night, we'll rest here!"
Elder Fei Jing ordered at this time.
Night time was when demon beasts went hunting.
If they stubbornly continued travelling, it would be somewhat dangerous.
For the sake of these Tempering Realm disciples, Elder Fei Jing also stopped.
They pitched tents and lit a fire!
As an elder, Su Tong of course did not need to do any work.
He was currently boredly observing the surroundings.
Once everything was ready, some of the disciples started chatting together, while others began cultivating.
Seeing those diligent disciples cultivating, Elder Fei Jing also nodded satisfactorily.
At this moment, a Refining Realm disciple walked up.
Heading towards Su Tong.
This person was precisely Sheng Hong Hai.
"Elder Su Tong!"
Sheng Hong Hai walked to Su Tong and cupped his fists.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Su Tong was originally observing the surroundings, he felt that it was strangely quiet around them.
Only when he saw a disciple come up did he return to his senses.
"This disciple wishes to exchange pointers with Elder Su Tong!"
Sheng Hong Hai looked at Su Tong and spoke calmly.
"Foolishness!"
Before Su Tong could speak, Elder Fei Jing already sternly shouted.
Those disciples also curiously looked over when they heard Sheng Hong Hai wanted to challenge Su Tong.
Some disciples were also puzzled why Su Tong became an elder.
After all they did not know Su Tong's strength, and were unaware of so many inside details.
They only knew that Su Tong had entered the Tempering Realm half a day after entering the Crimson Glow Sect.
But so what? Every single person here, every disciple, had entered the Tempering Realm.
In their perspective, Su Tong had merely been faster by a bit.
In fact some of the Refining Realm disciples thought this way too, and Sheng Hong Hai was one of them.
He was discontent towards this elder whose cultivation level was lower than his.
"This disciple did not fool around, just has some doubts that I'm unclear about, and wished to exchange pointers with Elder Su Tong to seek a breakthrough!"
Sheng Hong Hai was extremely respectful towards Elder Fei Jing.
Because he knew clearly that Elder Fei Jing was a 1st grade Immersion Realm expert.
"Oh? You want to exchange pointers? Then come exchange pointers with me!"
Elder Fei Jing coldly laughed.
She knew that Su Tong had entered the Refining Realm.
But this Sheng Hong Hai was at the 2nd grade of the Refining Realm in strength.
If he could not directly crush him, the other disciples might become discontent too.
Therefore Elder Fei Jing was so furious.
Challenging the elders was no doubt challenging the Crimson Glow Sect itself!
This kind of sign could not be allowed.
"This disciple dare not!"
Sheng Hong Hai hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Su Tong also coldly laughed: "Dare not? Dare with me but not with Elder Fei Jing?"
"This disciple did not mean that!"
Although that was what he meant, Sheng Hong Hai did not dare to directly say it in front of Elder Fei Jing.
"Fine, since you want to exchange pointers, then come!"
Su Tong naturally understood that in order to make these disciples convinced, he had to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.
It was just that in Su Tong's perspective, the strength of this chicken was a little weak.
The strength of 2nd grade Refining Realm was too weak in Su Tong's eyes.
"Elder Su Tong!"
Elder Fei Jing also spoke up worriedly.
But Su Tong waved his hand: "Just a 2nd grade Refining Realm."
Seeing Su Tong's expression, Elder Fei Jing also paused, then nodded.
Elder Fei Jing then recalled Su Tong saying before that he had killed a 3rd grade Refining Realm Black Wind Tiger.
Dealing with Sheng Hong Hai should not be difficult.
"Please teach me, Elder Su Tong!"
Hearing that Su Tong agreed, Sheng Hong Hai also cupped his fists.
He wanted to defeat Su Tong in front of so many disciples.
Then say to Su Tong, you are not qualified.
After saying that, Sheng Hong Hai also looked towards the female disciple he had chatted with during the day not far away.
But that female disciple's eyes now held only disdain.
This made Sheng Hong Hai even more furious.
He swore to completely defeat Su Tong.
In an instant, the energy of a 2nd grade Refining Realm erupted outwards.
"Seeking humiliation!"
That female disciple indifferently said.
"Elder Su Tong, please!"
Sheng Hong Hai suppressed his anger and spoke.
And Su Tong also prepared to make his move.
"Roar!"
Just then, a roar sounded out.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
In an instant, countless roars responded.
Accompanying it was the trembling of the ground.
Hearing these roars, the faces of the disciples also changed dramatically.
Elder Fei Jing remained calm, and sternly shouted: "Don't panic, be on guard!"
But at this moment, a demon beast around ten feet tall appeared before everyone's eyes.
The instant Elder Fei Jing saw that demon beast, her pupils contracted!
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
