Chapter 18: First Cultivation of the Demon

  Inner disciples are the lowest-ranking members of the Xianjian Pavilion, doing hard labor and getting little benefit. However, inner disciples work diligently, always hoping that one day they will make a breakthrough in their spiritual power, pass the assessment, and become true transmission disciples.

  True disciples are assessed once a year, so they have to wait for at least one year or even more years before they can possibly become true disciples.

  Some inner door disciples have poor aptitude, and even if they spend their whole lives as inner door disciples, they will never become true transmission disciples. When they get old and can't move around anymore, they can only retire to the mortal world and give up on cultivating immortality.

  It's not just fetching water and picking herbs, the inner disciples are doing almost all the hard work, chopping firewood, hunting, mining, killing wild beasts and demons that accidentally enter the Xianjian Pavilion, they are the living force of the Xianjian Pavilion, also the pawns and soldiers for clearing out weak and small demons.

  Three days of free rest before becoming an inner disciple, getting familiar with the surroundings of the Inner Gate. Zhang Fei Yang spent the first night watching the basic sword techniques of the Xianjian Pavilion, and because he watched very seriously, he grasped most of the sword techniques, leaving only the proficiency to be practiced. After a good sleep, he got up and it was already mid-morning, he walked out of the dormitory building, holding a towel and toothbrush toothpaste (these things existed in ancient times too), came to the small stream to brush his teeth. These daily necessities had been prepared in the bedroom long ago, all brand new, the toothbrush made from special wood, the toothpaste also made from special powder, of course, all made by these inner disciples.

  After making arrangements, Zhang Fei Yang came to the "Beast Fighting Arena", a relatively flat area surrounded by stone walls, where there were many wild boars. The inner door disciples could come here to practice their combat skills after finishing their work.

  At this time, dozens of inner disciples were already entangled with those wild boars in the arena.

  These wild boars are not ordinary wild boars, they are ferocious and will charge at you no matter who you are, extremely bellicose.

  Zhang Fei Yang picked up a peach wood sword placed outside the stone wall, and walked into the arena. This peach wood sword was refined with special minerals, extremely solid, comparable to iron, but much lighter than iron, making it most suitable for practicing basic sword techniques.

  "Tigers pounce on their prey!"

  "Crane Spreads Its Wings!"

  "Monkey King shoots!"

  "Golden Rooster Stands Alone!"

  " Crocodile tail!"

  Zhang Feiyang recalled the basic sword techniques, making these basic sword techniques named after wild beasts, step by step, steady and steady. At this time, the Xian nucleus in his Dantian emitted Xian power, filling Zhang Feiyang's whole body. Every time Zhang Feiyang hit accurately and made a standard sword technique, the Taomu sword would emit a flash of light, and those wild beasts would be severely hit. At the same time, Zhang Feiyang felt that his Fa Li decreased a little bit.

  After executing over a hundred moves, chasing away more than ten wild boars, Zhang Fei Yang felt tired and jumped onto the stone wall to watch several dozen inner sect disciples practicing their swordplay.

  Inside, there are several formidable inner disciples who can knock out a wild boar with one move. The knocked-out wild boars are not allowed to be killed, so they continue to find other wild boars to fight. Some inner disciples even play-fight bare-handed with the wild boars, showing that their spiritual power is already very high.

  Zhang Feiyang looked around for a while, roughly understanding the strength of these inner door disciples, feeling that there was a certain gap between them, and began to wander around the inner door hall. The inner door hall is really big, like a large town.

  Zhang Fei Yang arrived at a forest, thinking to himself: "Some of these inner sect disciples have been here for several years and are very powerful. I must quickly cultivate and catch up with them, become a master as soon as possible, in order to defeat the Demon Ancestor and return to my world. Ah yes, the Demon Refining Furnace - I can use it to rapidly increase my strength!"

  Walked into the depths of the forest, took down the alchemy furnace from his neck, and entered it with his spirit. He sensed that the little divine beast, Orange, was still asleep and couldn't be woken up. Zhang Feiyang could only rely on himself now, so he carefully sensed every part of the alchemy furnace. The alchemy furnace had many mysterious mechanisms and functions, and inside, it was simply a mystical world.

  Zhang Fei's spirit stirred and he said, "Transform into a giant!"

  The alchemy furnace indeed emitted a golden light and grew larger, Zhang Feiyang's heart was excited, his mouth constantly shouting: "Get bigger, get bigger, get bigger!" The alchemy furnace grew to the height of a person with each shout, causing Zhang Feiyang to jump up and down excitedly on the ground.

  "Smaller, smaller, smaller!"

  The alchemy furnace transformed into a pot about the size of Zhang Fei Yang's heart.

  "Orange this little thing is a cheat, it turns out that getting bigger and smaller isn't just up to it. Hmph, without Orange I can also control the Alchemy Furnace, it seems that Orange is just a soul, just a talkative soul! Once I figure out the Alchemy Furnace, I won't listen to it anymore, heh heh! Right, what should I refine?"

  Zhang Feiyang looked around, suddenly had an idea, picked up five ants crawling on the ground and threw them into the demon-refining furnace. Then he found some solid stones and put them into the demon-refining furnace. He raised his head to look, a sparrow flew over, Zhang Feiyang's eyes were quick, the Demon-Refining Hammer emitted a golden light, knocked down the sparrow, plucked five feathers from the sparrow and put them into the demon-refining furnace.

  Then, using the power of the law to urge on the alchemy furnace, the ants, stones, and sparrow feathers were put into the earth's fantasy realm for refining. These things merged together in the muddy soil, withstanding the endless sandstorms, instantly transforming into five sturdy stone-like flying ants with wings, baring their fangs, and as large as a thumb.
