The Exorcism Began in America.

Chu Feng meticulously examined the uses of the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures listed on the page. After flipping through several pages, he finally found what he was looking for.

"Golden Spirit Jade Liquid: Originates from deep within the Earth Spirit Vein, invaluable. Ingestion can purify the Spirit Root and can also be used in the concoction of the Skypiercer Pill.

Usage requirement: Middle Grade Spirit Root"

As for the price... Chu Feng's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the exchange requirements listed below.

Divine Origin Substance 100 points?

He glanced at the mere six Divine Source Stones in the system space and silently shook his head.

It was not just that the quantity of Divine Origin Substance was insufficient; he also did not meet the usage requirement.

However, since I've already found a Spiritual Object that can enhance my Spirit Root, there must be others!

Memorizing the location of the Golden Spirit Jade Liquid, he continued flipping through the pages.

Finally, only a few lines away, a Spiritual Object that met the usage requirement caught his eye.

"Heart of Chong Ah: Originating from within high mountains, the essence of mountains. Perhaps one can be obtained from over a thousand peaks. Ingestion can purify the Spirit Root and can be used as an Alchemy ingredient.

Usage requirement: Low Grade Spirit Root

Price: 20 points of Divine Origin Substance"

He satisfied the usage requirement, but the price of this item made Chu Feng frown tightly.

Items for enhancing the Spirit Root were incredibly expensive. The Divine Source Stones, already scarce among the system rewards, had been accumulated for so long, yet he was still short by so much...

"DING! Please note, Host, you still have one unused fifty-percent-off coupon!"

Just then, a system prompt suddenly appeared in Chu Feng's mind, interrupting his thoughts.

Fifty-percent-off coupon? His eyes lit up. Tentatively, he clicked the purchase button below the Heart of Chong Ah, and a system prompt box instantly popped up.

"Would you like to use the fifty-percent-off coupon?"

"Yes!"

"Sorry, the price of this item is currently 10 points of Divine Origin Substance. Your balance is insufficient. Purchase failed!"

Despite the system's prompt, a smile appeared on Chu Feng's face.

In that case, I'm only short 4 points of Divine Origin Substance to purchase the Heart of Chong Ah!

He closed the shop page and rose from the meditation cushion, as another system prompt instantly appeared before him.

"There are 45 minutes of remaining use time for the Dark Room. Would you like to exit now?"

Forty-five minutes? Chu Feng silently calculated the time in his heart.

Since he had added Points, a little less than an hour had passed.

By that calculation, it seems that one point equates to one minute of usage time in the Dark Room.

He lightly tapped the confirmation button, and everything before Chu Feng turned dark. In the blink of an eye, he was back in his simple mountain cave.

The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to lift his wrist.

Glancing at the time, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Just as I thought! When inside the Dark Room, time on the outside might have frozen, or there could be a vast difference in the flow rate between the two!

Turning his head to look at the slightly blurry sun in the red sky, he noted its position was exactly the same as before he entered the Dark Room.

However, it's unclear whether this is good or bad.

After all, for me, the time that passed inside the Dark Room was no different from the outside world; it was all part of my real experience!

Next up, it's your turn!

He immediately turned his attention to the hovering Bronze Cauldron in his mind.

Carved with countless birds, beasts, and rare treasures, the heavy Bronze Cauldron emanated a profound presence.

As if sensing his gaze, a crimson flame burst forth from within the cauldron, making Chu Feng's mind feel the intense heat.

Looking at the welcoming Great Cauldron, he steadied his mind.

After preparing himself, he lightly touched the Great Cauldron with his thought.

The next second, he lost consciousness.

「...」

"Chu Feng? Chu Feng! Wake up quickly!"

Amidst the haze, soft calls near his ear prompted Chu Feng, who had just regained his self-awareness, to slowly open his eyes.

A young man dressed in black rough cloth clothes, his face etched with anxiety, came into view.

Lin Xiao? Following the vague memories suddenly appearing in his mind, Chu Feng tentatively called out.

"It's me, you're finally awake! Get up quickly, we need to leave!"

Seeing Chu Feng open his eyes, a flicker of joy crossed the eyes of the young man called Lin Xiao.

Without waiting for Chu Feng to respond, he directly stuffed a black bundle into his hands.

What is this?

Chu Feng had just subconsciously taken the bundle when the other person pulled him to his feet.

Looking at the youth, who was tiptoeing around as cautiously as a thief, another vague memory appeared in his mind.

Are we going to escape from here tonight?

At the same time, he also noticed the successive snoring sounds around him.

The presence of others suddenly made his heart tense as he scanned the surroundings.

He saw about a dozen boys, roughly his current age, sound asleep in this dark and damp room.

The air was filled with a complex odor, a mixture of sweaty feet and mildew.

Seeing Chu Feng sitting still, Lin Xiao, who was carefully heading towards the door, became anxious.

He cautiously checked the surroundings for any noise, then turned his head to urge him again.

"Hurry up, what are you waiting for? If that man-eating Old Yellow Dog finds us, we're dead for sure!"

Chu Feng did not reply but carefully picked up the bundle and followed Lin Xiao's footsteps.

Luckily, the noise they made was very slight and didn't wake the others in the room, who were exhausted from the day's work.

Only a boy who turned over in his sleep gave them a scare as they were opening the door.

Finally, they left the room without any mishaps. Under the bright moonlight, Chu Feng could immediately see that they were now on the side of a mountain peak.

"Let's go, follow me! The Formation set up by Old Yellow Dog has a flaw that only appears during a full moon. If we miss this chance, we may not get another!"

Lin Xiao glanced at the full moon in the sky and whispered, then carefully headed towards the courtyard wall behind the house.

His vigilant eyes scanned their surroundings, fearing any accidents.

Chu Feng followed the other person's steps while carefully recalling the vague memories provided by the system.

This place is the Spirit Refining Sect... and I'm a menial disciple again?

Looking at the fleeting memories in his mind, the corners of Chu Feng's mouth twitched slightly.

I'm just now remembering my fate as a menial disciple from the last time.

And judging by our current escape attempt, it's clear the fate of a menial disciple in this world isn't too great either.

The area around the courtyard wall seemed to be infrequently approached. The surrounding weeds had grown almost waist-high.

The two of them carefully parted the weeds as they approached the courtyard wall.

Chu Feng, walking behind, took care to restore the weeds to their original state.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiao, having reached the safety of the courtyard wall, carefully searched the ground and grasped a somewhat wilted weed stem in his hand.

"Chu Feng, come help me!"

Looking at the corner Lin Xiao lifted, Chu Feng saw it was clearly a curtain woven from plant stems and leaves, covered with a layer of dense weeds.

Under the curtain was a pitch-black entrance. Judging by the burrow's direction, it clearly led beyond the courtyard wall.
