Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor

Pulling Technique, to be precise, is akin to empowerment.

The Buddhist sects prefer utilizing this method to help disciples enhance their cultivation. The senior monks, being morally dignified and selfless at heart, often endow their entire life's power unto their Cloth Bowl Disciples when their time draws near.

This time, the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage is actually granting such a generous special reward.

Chu Feng can't help but speculate that it is very likely that one of the Sect's Supreme Elders or Elders is nearing the end of their life. That's why they plan to transfer power to the first place of the Earth Rankings and the top three of the Heavenly List.

Because these geniuses will likely become the pillars of the Sect in the future.

The Heavenly List goes without saying, they are all Heavenly Prides with a cultivation of Three-star Sword God and above. All of them are individuals destined for greatness.

As for the Earth Rankings, being the first already speaks volumes about one's extraordinary aspects in every field.

This is also why only the first place of the Earth Rankings is taken, whereas the top three of the Heavenly List are chosen.

Chu Feng is currently at the Early Stage Sword Saint, and if he could truly seize the first place of the Earth Rankings, that would be extremely awesome. After the power transfer, he could at least advance to Mid Sword Saint. It would save him at least more than a year's worth of arduous cultivation.

This also showcases that he has an abundance of Elixirs, can enjoy the highest level of cultivation environment, and coupled with his natural devilish talent, was able to raise his level by an entire minor realm within just a short year.

If it were any other genius, to advance from Early Stage Sword Saint to Mid Sword Saint would take at least more than five years of grueling cultivation.

And for those with lesser talent, they might be stuck at Early Stage Sword Saint for their entire life.

...

Outside the hall of Mountain Master 106 on Medicine Mountain, a group of handpicked elite experts had already lined up early to wait.

Chu Feng, followed by Han Shuang, walked out from inside with an imposing presence.

"Greetings to the Mountain Master!"

Including the two Vice Mountain Masters, all paid their respects to Chu Feng.

"No need for formalities! Have the guards been arranged?" Chu Feng's gaze fell on Vice Mountain Master Fang Youming.

"Yes, everything has been arranged." Fang Youming nodded.

Because of his consistently good relationship with Chu Feng, and also because Fang Youming managed to maintain the right attitude, he has been increasingly appreciated by Chu Feng. Many affairs of Medicine Mountain were also entrusted to him.

It is foreseeable that upon Chu Feng's eventual promotion, he would certainly pass on the position of Mountain Master to Fang Youming.

Qiu Gong, having taken a wrong path, had clashed with Chu Feng for a period.

Although he has earned Chu Feng's forgiveness and was not ostracized or subjected to small-minded retaliation, Chu Feng's trust in him was evidently much lower than in Fang Youming.

Chu Feng didn't allow Qiu Gong to intervene in many of Medicine Mountain's important matters.

One misstep has caused Vice Mountain Master Qiu Gong's status to plummet, gradually being surpassed by Fang Youming.

Actually, Qiu Gong really didn't need to be jealous of Chu Feng in the first place.

Because with Chu Feng's talent and strength out there, he would at most only work at Medicine Mountain for a few years before being promoted and moving on.

The wise should cling tightly to Chu Feng's powerful support, maintain good relations, so as to be favorably remembered and cared for by Chu Feng when he ascends to a higher position in the foreseeable future.

"Set off! Any of you who gets into the Earth Rankings or Heavenly List and brings honor to Medicine Mountain, will receive an additional great reward from me upon your return!" As the Mountain Master, Chu Feng was not stingy. Furthermore, his wealth was substantial, so promising this to his subordinates in Medicine Mountain, he had fully the ability to fulfill it.

"Thank you, Mountain Master Chu!"

The crowd below cheered enthusiastically, appearing very excited.

They dare not hope to make it into the Heavenly List, but competing for a spot in the Earth Rankings was entirely within their reach.

Even if they were to fail by chance, it wouldn't matter.

Chu Feng immediately led the dozens of carefully selected experts from Medicine Mountain in a grand procession towards the Sect's Sword Inquiry Arena.

Along the way, almost everyone was rushing to the Sword Inquiry Arena, vying for a spot on the Earth Rankings and Heavenly List.

The Outer Disciple population is numerous, and so are the departments. Some form a small faction based on their department, others base their small departments on the lineage to which they belong.

For example, the Dan State Branch that Chu Feng belongs to is considered a small faction.

Before long, Chu Feng had already arrived at the plaza where the Asking Sword Platform was located. This place was specially designed for Sect disciples to compete in swordsmanship, lined up with hundreds of battle platforms.

Behind the battle platforms, there were judging stands towering over ten meters high.

They are reserved for the Sect's Elders, Sect Masters, and others to sit, watch, and judge.

In front of the platforms was a vast open space, reserved for ordinary disciples to watch or wait for their battles. At this moment, it was already crowded with both inner and outer disciples.

At this point, the difference between inner and outer disciples became apparent.

Inner disciples not only had cushions to sit on but also occupied the best spots right at the front. Outer disciples, on the other hand, could only settle for spots further back. Outer Elders might still have a seat.

Ordinary Outer Disciples didn't even have a cushion.

They could only stand or sit on the ground.

As for bringing their own cushions, many Outer Disciples thought of it, but no one dared to do so.

Imagine, if your own superior could only sit on the ground, would you have the audacity to put yourself above him and sit on a cushion?

"Our spot for the 106th Medicine Mountain is over there!" Qiu Gong's eyes were sharp, pointing to an open space not far ahead with a sign erected that indeed read 106th Medicine Mountain.

"Let's go, let's head over there!"

Chu Feng looked around and saw that the area was entirely comprised of resting zones for the various Medicine Mountains.

From the 1st up to the 108th Medicine Mountain.

When Chu Feng led his subordinates to their own territory, his expression couldn't help but change.

The resting area originally allotted to the 106th Medicine Mountain was not spacious, and now, the prime positions in the front row were occupied by people from a neighboring Medicine Mountain, taking up more than half of their space.

"Fellow disciples, it seems you've crossed the boundary! People from the 106th Medicine Mountain are here now, so please give back our spots," Chu Feng, as the Mountain Master, had to take the lead in resolving this issue.

His tone was very tactful, to avoid hurting any feelings.

The individuals sat chatting or watching the platforms ahead, not paying any attention to Chu Feng.

"When our Mountain Master tells you to give up your seats, do you not understand what he's saying, or what?" Han Dong, seeing that his own master was being treated like air, was not going to let it slide.

He yelled at this group of rude individuals with a throaty roar.

"Who do you think you are, daring to shout at us, people from the 105th Medicine Mountain? So what if we took a bit of your space?"

"That's doing you a favor, don't f*cking stand there babbling, otherwise, we settle it on the platform."

"A bunch of trash, daring to yap in front of us, shove your heads between your legs."

A middle-aged man decked out in Vice Mountain Master's attire, his eyes bulging, pointed at Chu Feng and his group and cursed. His brazen attitude was as if he saw the people of the 106th Medicine Mountain as nothing but mud.

As if to mold them however he wished.

"Vice Mountain Master Fang, if we encounter this situation and fight, would it be against the rules of the Sect?" Chu Feng asked.

"We wouldn't be breaking the rules, they would. But if we lose, since this is the Sword Inquiry Arena, a place fundamentally meant for disciples to duel, the Sect might only give them a very light punishment," responded Fang Youming, with a serious expression.

"Very well!"

"Then there's no need to go up to any platform, I'll sweep away this trash," Chu Feng declared.

With those words, Chu Feng immediately took action.
