Under the guidance of Liu Yunshan, Luo Jing finally arrived at the so-called Dark Lamp Hall.
This was a magnificent palace that was absurdly tall. Its tightly closed gate was twenty feet high and had strange evil pictures painted on it.
Outside the tightly closed door, on the left and right, stood equally tall statues of evil spirits.
It was a dark purple demon with knotty muscles, sturdy and strong, with arms and legs like a strong man. But it had no mouth or nose, and only a huge eyeball on its head. It looked inexplicably creepy, like a monster crawling out of a nightmare.
"This is the strongest evil demon under the command of the Demon Refiner, the Light of the Underworld."
Seeing Luo Jing's curiosity, Liu Yunshan smiled and explained the origin of the statue.
"Back then, the ancestor refined the twelve evil spirits and became the supreme demon, looking down on all directions."
"This Shining World Dark Lamp Demon is one of them, and its true form is a type of lamp demon."
"The one guarding the Dark Lamp Hall now is also a Lamp Demon. Of course, it is not as terrifying as the one that the founder refined back then, but it is not something that ordinary disciples can provoke."
Liu Yunshan warned Luo Jing as he walked to the closed door and bowed.
"Miscellaneous disciple Liu Yunshan, seeking to see the lamp master."
"There is a new disciple Luo Jing, who has successfully entered the inner gate from the outer gate. I hope the lamp master will open the door and light the life lamp for him."
As soon as Liu Yunshan finished speaking, the tightly closed door opened silently.
Luo Jing, standing outside the door, saw that it was pitch black inside, with only a few flames floating in the darkness. He didn't know how many life lanterns were floating.
Following Liu Yunshan, Luo Jing slowly walked into the Dark Lantern Hall.
However, Luo Jing did not see the so-called lamp master. In the dark hall, they could only see solitary lamps floating around and three feet away from their feet.
A bronze lamp floated over from the darkness.
Liu Yunshan immediately bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Master of the Lantern!"
After saying that, he grabbed the bronze lamp, handed it to Luo Jing with a smile, and said: "As long as you light the life lamp, Brother Luo will officially become an inner sect disciple."
"You only need to drop a drop of blood essence, and your name will be on the sect's roster."
Liu Yunshan's face was full of smiles, and Luo Jing did not hesitate, since it had come to this point anyway.
He directly forced out a drop of essence and blood and dripped it into the oil lamp.
Then the oil lamp began to burn out of thin air, and Luo Jing vaguely felt that he had some connection with the oil lamp.
Then, the oil lamp floated away automatically.
Luo Jing and Liu Yunshan bowed and left the Mingdeng Hall.
But he didn't even see the face of the lamp demon.
But that's normal. Luo Jing is just an outer disciple who has just joined. How could he have the face to need to be greeted by the master of the Nether Lamp Hall
Afterwards, the two of them went to receive the basic secrets for inner disciples, as well as Luo Jing's three spirit stones for this month and a bag of fasting pills.
as well as…
"Three Transcendent Pills?" Liu Yunshan was extremely envious when he saw what Luo Jing received.
"Brother Luo, this is a good thing! One Transcendent Pill can be sold for ten spirit stones at the market in Jingyu Pond!"
"If you can break through successfully in one try, you can sell the remaining two and make a fortune!"
Liu Yunshan looked on with envy.
Luo Jing was surprised and asked, "Didn't Senior Brother Liu have it when he entered the inner gate?"
Liu Yunshan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "For someone like me who has risen through the ranks by aging, how can I be treated like Junior Brother Luo?"
"The Transformation Pill I needed for my breakthrough was obtained by me taking on missions at the White Tiger Hall and working for the sect, accumulating enough spirit stones."
"Only young disciples with great prospects like Junior Brother Luo will be favored by the sect."
Liu Yunshan's explanation made Luo Jing suddenly understand.
It seems that this Demon Sect and Lingyun Immortal Sect each have their own strengths.
Lingyun Immortal Sect is, after all, an immortal sect that values order and justice... even if it is justice on the surface, so all disciples of the sect are eligible to receive the Transcendent Pill. The competition is fierce and the Transcendent Pill is in short supply.
But in a demonic sect like the Soul Refining Sect, there is no such thing as fairness and justice, and the saying "the strong prey on the weak" is almost pasted on their minds.
Disciples with potential will receive preferential treatment and will be given three Transcendent Pills upon admission.
Disciples without potential are just small fry and consumables. If they want the Transcendent Pill, they have to buy it themselves.
But since I took three Transcendent Pills at once, I have to be careful. Don't let them kill you and rob you...
…
Inside the palace, the girl who was meditating opened her eyes.
She realized something and said lazily, "Come in."
The palace door opened and the maid Xiaodie walked in with a smile on her face.
"Miss, I have already checked what you asked me to check."
Looking at the smile on the maid's face, it seems to be good news.
The girl then asked with great interest: "Oh? Tell me, what's going on."
Then I heard the maid Xiaodie laughing.
"That Luo Jing is a disciple of a branch of the Tianhai Luo family, and his background is ordinary."
"There is no major grudge between him and his family."
"But he lost his mother when he was young, and his father remarried a fierce and vicious stepmother who gave birth to two younger brothers."
"Luo Jing is not welcomed at home. He is even more hostile to his stepmother and brother."
"It is said that he has been sleeping in the woodshed since he was ten years old. Even after he started practicing, his treatment did not change much."
"On New Year's Eve last year, his stepmother lost a valuable hairpin, and then the hairpin was found in the woodshed where he lived. It's not clear whether he stole it."
"Anyway, Luo Jing made a big scene at the time, and was eventually beaten by his father and kicked out of the house. And he also swore in front of everyone that he would sever all ties with the Luo family."
"After that, Luo Jing had nowhere to go, so he spent money to find connections and came to our Xiaoyue Peak to become an outer sect disciple."
"According to the disciple who introduced Luo Jing to the outer sect, Luo Jing at that time was only at the second level of Qi Refining Realm."
"In just half a year, he was able to reach the Great Perfection by relying on the simple outer sect techniques... This kid is indeed talented, and it would be a waste of his talent to keep him in the Luo family."
Xiaodie told the story in detail and found out all the details about Luo Jing.
But this story made the girl laugh.
"The old mother passed away, the stepmother abused him... What Luo Jing experienced is very common."
"I thought he had some grudge with the Luo family, so he came to Xiaoyue Peak to avoid trouble."
"I didn't expect this to be the reason... If that's the case, it's normal."
"With his status, he is just a disciple of a branch, and he was kicked out of the family by his father. He will not receive any preferential treatment at Yehai Peak."
"Luo Wanqiu is someone who is too arrogant. She won't even look at him."
The girl said, her smile growing even brighter: "But everyone has misjudged me. When Luo Jing entered the sect, his cultivation was definitely more than the second level of the Qi Refining Realm."
"If he could really rely on the superficial outer sect techniques to reach the Great Perfection from the Second Heaven of Qi Refining Realm in half a year... With such talent, even if he practices the Luo family's side branch techniques, he would achieve something."
"I speculate that when he entered the outer sect, he had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining."
"Coming to the outer sect of Xiaoyue Peak, the spiritual energy in the mountain is more abundant than outside the mountain. With the help of the outer sect's skills, I was able to cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in just half a year."
"No matter how simple the skills of Xiaoyue Peak's outer sect are, they are still stronger than the skills of the Luo family's side branch."
"He was able to rely on the simple skills of the Luo family's side branch to cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining at this age. He has a great talent."
"With such cultivation and talent, he was able to endure such humiliation without complaining. He must be a cruel person."
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason why this kid didn't show off his cultivation talent in the Luo family and deliberately showed weakness was to find an opportunity to intensify the conflict with his stepmother."
"Only because he is not gifted would his father kick him out of the house. If he were a genius, his biological father and stepmother would probably not be able to support him enough."
"As for Luo Jing, once his biological father announces that he is being expelled from the family, he can let nature take its course and sever all ties with the Luo family."
"And with his talent and character, he will surely be able to rise to great heights in the future and make achievements in the cultivation of the magic path."
"Now that he has severed his relationship with the Luo family, when his cultivation level improves in the future, he can go home and kill his vicious stepmother and two younger brothers."
"Everyone knows that he is the abandoned son of the Luo family. He was framed and driven out by his stepmother. They have an irreconcilable hatred. According to the rules of the Demon Sect, he killed his stepmother's entire family. There are reasons for it. He is also an inner sect disciple of Xiaoyue Peak, so it is not easy for the Luo family to hold him accountable."
"To be honest, this is a really ruthless and decisive character by nature."
The girl couldn't help but applaud as she spoke: "It's a pity that this dangerous guy is born rebellious and extremely difficult to tame."
"Otherwise it would be nice to keep him by my side and train him, but forget it now."
The girl shook her head and said it was a pity.
