Chapter Sixty-Five: Selecting Disciples
te, his foundation was unstable, and Qin Sang wasn't sure how far he could go.According to the cultivation method's description, for breaking through to the fourth layer, the Heavenly Demon Form is cr...After leaving Shijing Cave, Qin Sang entered the Yin Sha Abyss and gathered a sufficient amount of Hun Dan. He immediately began his closed-door cultivation.
In less than two months, Qin Sang left the customs and successfully broke through to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period.
> Yue Shi's Uncle's Cave.
Qin Sang knocked on the door and entered, only to find Liang Yan also inside Yue Shi's cave dwelling.
Upon hearing that Qin Sang had actually successfully broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining Period, even Master Yue's face showed a look of surprise. In their view, Qin Sang should have been the one with the least hope of breaking through among the seven.
>
Liang Yan's eyes lit up. "Junior Brother Qin being able to break through to the sixth level of Qi Refining must have an extraordinary amount of perseverance! Senior Brother Yue, allow Junior Brother Qin to cultivate with me as well."
Yue Shi Shu glared at Liang Yan, who hastily shut his mouth, his face flushed with embarrassment.
>
Yu Shi Shu looked at Qin Sang and pondered for a moment, "Qin Shi Ne, you are able to stand out among all the disciples with your five-element spiritual root qualifications. It is truly rare. The reward of top-grade magic artifacts will naturally not be lacking for you. However, you still have to wait four months later, the headmaster will personally deliver the rewards into your hands. During this time, you should return to your cave dwelling and cultivate. In addition, since you have already broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Refining period, you can also take care of practicing incantations. You have asked me about incantation issues before, and you probably have similar ideas. You can choose one from these incantations, and if you encounter any problems, come to my cave dwelling at any time."
As he spoke, Yue Shishu handed Qin Sang a jade slip. Qin Sang took it and looked. The jade slip contained not only water spells but also all five elemental spells, with hundreds of them densely packed inside.
Master Yue also reminded Qin Sang that although any spell could be practiced, his method was the Netherworld Scripture. It was easiest to practice water-walking spells, otherwise, it would be twice as hard with half the result.
Qin Sang's gaze fell on the location of the Shui Xing Fa Jue. He quickly found the Ning Shui Zhang and Yun Dun Zhi Fa. After comparing them, he discovered that Wu Luo Heng Jiang (Mist Locking Across the River) was actually called Wu Zhan Shu (Mist Plague Technique). He couldn't help but feel speechless.

Looking at the various magical spells with wondrous effects, Qin Sang almost strained his eyes. But Yue Shishu had said that the value of a spell lies in its refinement, not in its quantity. Even if one learns many spells, if they are not proficient, they will be useless in actual combat.
After much deliberation, Qin Sang's gaze fell upon a spell called Gui Shui Yin Lei Zhu.
The Jade Slips say that the Gui Shui Yin Lei Curse is the most Yin and powerful thunder technique. And if the practitioner can find a spirit containing inner thunder power in the future, they can use the spirit to release even more terrifying Yin Lei.
Seeing the Gui Shui Yin Lei Curse, Qin Sang was overjoyed. This was exactly the attacking type of spell he needed most. Although he didn't have a spirit creature, the Gui Shui Yin Lei Curse itself was already very powerful. The Yin Lei released afterward was like lightning, difficult to dodge. And because it was a thunder technique, it had a certain restraining effect on demons, ghosts, and other evil things.

After Qin Sang had made his choice, Yue Shishu patiently explained the cultivation essentials of the Gui Shui Yin Lei Curse to him. Finally, he gave Qin Sang the latter half of the You Ming Jing and sent him back.
Back in the cave dwelling, Qin Sang compared the two copies of the Netherworld Scriptures and found no discrepancies.
This morning, Qin Sang woke up from his meditation. Today was the appointed day. All the disciples who had broken through to the sixth layer of the Qi Refining period went to Elder Yue's cave to gather and pay respects to the sect leader together.
'Bang bang...'
Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Qin Sang opened it and let Tan Jie in.
Tan Jie was stuck at the sixth level of the Qi Refining period and couldn't break through, so he didn't receive any rewards.
"Congratulations, Brother Qin! With this top-grade artifact in hand, you'll surely be even more powerful. You will definitely be highly regarded by the sect!" Tan Jie said with envy on his face and a cheerful smile.
>
Qin Sang waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't tease me, it was just luck. I heard that Senior Sister Shi Jing is about to break through to the seventh level. Even if the sect favors someone, they favor her. Is she still in her cave dwelling"
“She must still be inside; I didn't hear her leave.”

They went to meet Shi Jing together. Tan Jie saw them off for a while, and Qin Sang and Shi Jing turned back to wave to Tan Jie before setting off together towards Yue Shishu's cave dwelling.
More than ten people were already in Yue Shishu's cave, but Yue Shishu was not there.
>
The people in the cave were all figures of great influence, and Qin Sang had heard of them. Some he had met a few times when attending Yue Shishu's lectures. Qin Sang greeted those he knew well and quietly waited in a corner.
A few more people came later.
In the end, only twenty-two disciples of the Quyin Sect were qualified to stand here.
After everyone arrived, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the cave dwelling. Then Yue Shishu and Liang Yan led four people in. Among them were Dong and Wu Shishu, as well as two other uncles who were also at the Qi refining stage. Qin Sang had never met them before.
>
After entering, Yue Shishu swept his gaze and looked at Shi Jian, "Shi Jian, come here and stand behind Liang Yan."
The history is unknown, he could only obey Yue Shi Shu's orders.
Then several other uncles also each designated a person, asking them to stand behind.
“The kid with the scar on his face, and the little girl. Yeah, you two, come behind me.”

Master Dong pointed at the two of them in succession, but was suddenly stopped by Master Yue. "Master Dong," he said, "this won't do. You can only take one away, otherwise I cannot account to Master."
Master Dong's face was filled with displeasure. "It's just a disciple, there are so many left, you can completely report it to the Headmaster! What are you afraid of"
Absolutely not!
Yue Shishu stood firm, refusing to yield an inch. "Dong Shishu, I believe you know very well who is in the right and who is wrong. I did this out of consideration for our fellow disciples, and because several of my students possess exceptional talent. That's why I took the risk of incurring punishment from the Sect Master. Otherwise, none of them would have been allowed to join. If you have any grievances, perhaps you should speak directly with the Sect Master."

Master Dong's face turned pale and red several times, and finally he snorted angrily, pointing at the scar-faced youth, "You, come here."

The boy looked at the girl beside him, his expression a little hesitant.

Master Dong was furious, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he pointed at the young man, yelling, “Damn it! You're so slow! Are you afraid I'll take your top-notch magic artifact”
After berating the scarred youth soundly, Uncle Dong led him away. The other uncles also bid farewell to Uncle Yue, while Shi Jin followed Liang Yan out of the cave dwelling. Before leaving, he looked back at Qin Sang with a parting glance.
In the cave, seventeen disciples remained, whispering to each other, their words laced with envy.

The five people chosen were all top talents, with the worst one being a Sanlinggen.
Qin Sang could probably guess that those senior uncles wanted to take them as disciples, and the more they looked at Shi Jing.
During his time at the Quiyin Sect, Qin Sang had also heard that if someone had good aptitude, they might be accepted as a disciple by an uncle at the Qi Refining stage, entering the back mountain for cultivation and becoming a true disciple of the Quiyin Sect.
Not only are there more cultivation resources, but also a powerful backer behind him. His status is worlds apart from before.
>
Qin Sang wasn't envious of their resources after becoming disciples. As long as there were enough soul pills, Qin Sang was confident that his cultivation speed wouldn't be slower than theirs.
What he envied was that they had a master, so they didn't have to worry about foundation-building pills.
