Chapter 46: The Small Yin Evil Cave

  ……

  Not only that, a chilling and eerie cold air was circulating from the depths of the cave, and just a slight exposure to it made Lei Dong's bones ache with a dull pain. Hastily, he circulated his internal Xuan Yin true energy throughout his body, which made him feel slightly better, but he still couldn't shake off that feeling of coldness emanating from deep within his heart. After calming himself down, Lei Dong continued to walk step by step towards the depths of the Xiao Yin Cave.

  Yinsha, is a kind of Sha Qi named after the Yinsha Sect's naming of the sect. It has a yin-yang nature, soft and mysterious, and can harm people's blood vessels and souls. However, this extremely dangerous Yinsha Qi for ordinary people is actually a very good resource for cultivation for the Yinsha Sect. In the various signature techniques of the Yinsha Sect, those related to Yinsha occupy a considerable part.

  Yin Xie Zong's body was located in the midst of the Yin Xie mountain range, and he naturally possessed many unique resources. The Small Yin Xie Cave, near the Wan Gui Ku, was a relatively famous place of Yin Xie. The entrance to the cave was slightly better, but as one ventured deeper into the cave, the aura of death grew thicker.

  Just a few steps inside, Lei Dong could hardly bear it. Even with the circulation of Xuan Yin True Qi throughout his body, he found it difficult to resist the increasingly cold and eerie aura that invaded his body. Compared to the scattered evil aura in the original wilderness valley outside, this small cave's power seemed much stronger. Nevertheless, pain was just pain, Lei Dong gritted his teeth and continued walking deeper into the cave.

  He walked straight for seven or eight miles, and it wasn't until the thunderstorm was really unbearable that he finally settled down in a cave dwelling carved out of the cliff face by someone unknown. The Xuan Yin True Energy circulating throughout his body didn't dare to stop for even half a moment. Fortunately, the Xuan Yin True Energy itself had a yin-cold nature, which barely managed to counteract the invading Bone-Chilling Evil Qi and prevent it from eroding his flesh and soul.

  However, Lei Dong knew that once he stopped circulating his true energy, his body would soon have problems. Once the blood vessels and soul had been tainted with too much yin evil, it would be a big trouble to go. In fact, the so-called small yin evil cave punishment was definitely an extremely painful thing. Nevertheless, in some sense, being punished was a kind of tempering for the disciples themselves.

  Always struggling against the gloom, always enduring the piercing cold. This has great benefits whether in training one's willpower or in mastering the circulation of true energy. However, this suffering is indeed not something that ordinary people can safely endure.

  Three days, just three days, and Lei Dong was already struggling to suppress his desire to escape. Even hiding in the stone cave, he had been frozen to the point where his blood had almost turned to ice, his entire skeleton stiffened, making every movement extremely difficult.

  In addition, Leidong must also constantly practice qigong to recover his true energy, otherwise under this continuous consumption. Once the Xuan Yin True Energy in the body is exhausted, without protection, he will surely be invaded by the evil spirit and die of severe yin poisoning.

  It was the three ghostly soldiers who, after being released, quite liked the constantly flowing and extremely dense yin energy in this environment. They seemed to be swimming in a big river like fish, jumping and playing freely.

  Very soon, a spiritual stone was consumed. Immediately afterwards, Lei Dong took out another spiritual stone with great difficulty, and after slightly recovering his true energy, he did not dare to sit for a long time, got up and exercised again with great difficulty, and then continued to meditate. However, this Yin Lue Cave, apart from the endless yin evil energy that came from nowhere, was not without any benefits.

  The construction of the Wan Gui Ku is not entirely unreasonable. In fact, the entire Wan Gui Ku was built on a spiritual vein. The reason for building the cave was to get closer to the spiritual vein. This yin evil cave, unexpectedly beyond the newly arrived Lei Dong's expectation, the depth of this cave, the degree of spiritual energy condensation, is even slightly higher than the practice room of his own disciples.

  In theory, as long as one can endure this hardship here, their cultivation will actually be better than in the disciples' quarters.

  This is also one of the important reasons why Leidong, who has suffered greatly and has a strong desire to escape, still stays here to cultivate. In addition, in just a few days, Leidong vaguely felt that the newly recovered Xuan Yin True Qi in his Dantian was slightly more refined than it was a few days ago. Apparently, this is a progress in cultivation.

  Day after day. The news that Leidong was punished to reflect on his mistakes in the small yin cave for a year because he angered the old ancestor quickly spread throughout the Wan Gui Cave. To be honest, among the disciples of the same generation as Wan Gui Cave, there were many people who envied Leidong's favoritism towards him. On the other hand, those who envied Ding Yuanyan were few and far between. The reason is simple: first, Leidong was originally an ordinary disciple who was valued by the old ancestor because of his outstanding performance. Second, Leidong had not yet become as powerful as Ding Yuanyan, who inspired only admiration and respect. Especially those who had already reached the fifth layer of Qi refining, thought that their talent was no worse than Leidong's, but because Leidong had a direct disciple identity, he was one step ahead of them.

  It's just that, due to his status as Leidong's direct disciple and his uncommon combat strength, no one dared to show their true feelings in front of him. Now that Leidong has been punished, many people have started to ponder: if Leidong has lost favor so suddenly, how can they gain the old ancestor's favor and take Leidong's place?

  Meanwhile, it's not that no one came to visit Lei Dong, who was punished for offending the old ancestor. What moved Lei Dong slightly was that Chen, Ge, and Wei didn't mind his identity as a punished person at all. Braving the biting cold, they went deep into the cave, bringing many delicious foods and offering kind advice. They said that with Lei Dong's talent, even if he didn't enjoy the treatment of a personally taught disciple, he would definitely be among the top ranks.

  However, Lei Dong also knew that these two guys, due to their wealthy birth, had investment wisdom that others could not match. He knew that venture capitalists feared nothing more than being indecisive, and would often regret their decisions due to various external factors. These two, on the other hand, were willing to stick with him through thick and thin, even if it meant risking offending the old ancestor.

  From their mouths, Leidong also knew the performance of those same-year junior brothers and sisters who had been flattering him all day. Each of them had a resentful look on their face, but he didn't care at all. What significance did it have whether those disciples felt good or bad about themselves? Only Leidong himself knew that not only had he not lost favor, but because he had used his cunning to defeat the Ghost King's son without suffering any damage, he had instead gained more of Laozu's favor.

  He punished Leidong to enter the small yin evil cave, face the wall and reflect for a year. It's clear that this is a kind of disguised care, which prevents him from recklessly showing off outside. If he were to be suspected by the evil spirits, Leidong's troubles would not be small. With the risk of exposure outside, it's better to let Leidong quietly stay in the small yin evil cave for a year. Firstly, to avoid trouble, and secondly, the old ancestor indeed had plans to temper Leidong. After all, as long as he can endure hardship, the effect of cultivating in the small yin evil cave is still very good.

  However, if Wan Yidong can't even bear this hardship, I'm afraid that even the Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Ghosts will be extremely disappointed in him. The path of cultivation is one that goes against heaven, and there are countless hardships a hundred times more bitter than this small Yin Shui Cave. If someone can't even endure this bit of suffering and loneliness, how can they talk about cultivating immortality?

  On this day, Chen Ge Hua brought some good wine and dishes again, braving the gloomy weather to visit Lei Dong. The few of them were drinking wine to warm up, eating delicious food that was still hot from being taken out of the storage belt, and chatting about some recent interesting news. Especially in this freezing place, it could be considered a pretty good enjoyment.

  "Thunder moved, to say that ghost evil, but is more and more annoying." Chen Ge took a heavy drink of wine, somewhat amused: "A while ago, always staring at our family's Ding Shifu sister, as if determined that Ding Shifu sister was the murderer who killed his son, provoking Old Ancestor to personally take action and cause a big disturbance in the ghost evil's mansion before stopping. But recently, however, he has been staring at our same-year first place, Dongfang Xiang, you say this old unscrupulous person, is there another purpose? Looking at our Ding Shifu sister..."

  "Cough, cough!" Lei's face turned slightly bitter as he hastily coughed twice to stop the young one. He stood up and respectfully faced the entrance of the cave, saying: "Ding Shifu, how did you come here?"

  Chen Ge turned back in shock, only to see that there was no one at the entrance of the cave. He let out a sigh of relief and turned back to glare at Lei Dong: "Don't play tricks like this, you scared me to death."
