Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

The corpse of a turbid-level demon is a treasure trove for a low-level cultivator in the Turbid Realm.

But in Qiu Chengde's eyes, everything except flesh and blood was garbage.

Therefore, they don't care at all whether doing so is too wasteful.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't care at all. Although the apprenticeship banquet cost two million yuan, he learned from Jin Wei that he received four million yuan in gifts. So, he made a profit instead of a loss.

Only lone cultivators in the Turbid Realm need to be frugal, but I don't, because I have the powerful Sword Tower behind me, a master to guide my cultivation, and a purse to squander.

So what if it's a waste? Can you say that Master did something wrong?

It is a major taboo for an apprentice to teach his master how to do things.

Let whoever wants to do such a stupid thing do it; I certainly won't.

Continuing south, the mountains rose and fell, the forests were deep and lush, and the rivers rushed. Monsters and ghosts appeared from time to time. With his master by his side, Zhou Qingfeng was unusually free from worries about survival and instead began to enjoy the scenery.

If you encounter a monster, slay it; if you encounter a vengeful ghost, kill it.

As long as no demons or monsters of a disaster level or higher appear, Qiu Chengde observes the whole process without interfering at all, simply acting as a protector.

He then gave Zhou Qingfeng the cultivation resources he needed, which were derived from the demons and monsters he had killed.

This is a real-world training experience unique to Zhou Qingfeng.

After walking for a month, I have already slain thirty-six demons and killed seventy-two ghosts.

On average, he encounters two demons and monsters in the wild every day, and the intense battles have rapidly increased Zhou Qingfeng's combat experience.

His physical strength improved by leaps and bounds under the nourishment of the Blood-Boosting and Bone-Strengthening Pills and the flesh and blood of demons.

Below a mountain waterfall.

Zhou Qingfeng punched and kicked the rock, sending stone chips flying everywhere.

Finally, the uneven rock in front of them was completely shaped into a smooth round shape.

Originally, this rock was a giant mountain hundreds of feet high, but it was forcibly shaved into a round stone two meters high.

"Your physical strength is quite impressive!" Qiu Chengde stood to the side, his hands behind his back. "With your current physical strength, you should be able to master the Thunderfire Refining Hall with almost no difficulty."

Zhou Qingfeng slowly withdrew his fist, his muscles gleaming coldly like steel, his body radiating a faint, filthy, and evil black light. Every move he made contained terrifying power that could destroy everything in its path.

"Master, I feel incredibly strong right now." Zhou Qingfeng looked at his hands excitedly, never imagining that a human body could turn a hundred-foot-tall mountain into a sphere with just his fists and feet.

"Qingfeng, that's just a visual illusion caused by the strengthening of your physical body. In reality, you are still very weak."

"Master, please don't discourage me."

"I'm afraid you'll get arrogant and then someone will crush you with a single finger."

"Hehe." After spending more than a month together, Zhou Qingfeng and Qiu Chengde's relationship became more harmonious. They each took off their masks and their true selves were revealed.

Qiu Chengde glanced at the sky: "Qingfeng, pick a time and place to prepare for refining the Thunderfire Palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng silently summoned the mysterious scarlet divination bucket deep within his consciousness to cast a divination to inquire about good or bad fortune.

The scarlet divination bucket shook a few times, and a divination slip flew out.

[Auspicious divination: At this time and place, thunder and fire are being refined in the palace; good fortune.]

Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng felt reassured: "Master, there's no time like the present, let's do it here and now."

Qiu Chengde put his hands behind his back and nodded gently: "You can focus on your cultivation. I will go and clear out the demons and monsters around us."

Zhou Qingfeng respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Yes."

With his hands behind his back, Qiu Chengde emitted a blue light and flew into the air, heading towards the surrounding area. Today was the big day for his disciple to complete the Thunderfire Refining Hall. Anyone who dared to invade would be killed!

Zhou Qingfeng sat cross-legged beneath the waterfall, remaining unmoved as the thousand-foot drop crashed against his body.

He had already memorized the secret manual of the Thunderfire Refining Hall perfectly.

He held the Thunder Dragon Pearl in his left hand and the Karmic Fire Dragon Pearl in his right.

He slowly closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and guided the turbid lightning and karmic fire into his body. In an instant, Zhou Qingfeng's physical body burst into black lightning and black karmic fire, enveloping him.

Zhou Qingfeng felt extreme pain strike him. The extremely yin and evil power of the turbid thunder made half of his body feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave. The myriad sins within the karmic fire were running wildly, making half of his body feel as if it were being burned by raging flames.

If it weren't for the fact that my physical body is not what it used to be, I would probably have turned to ashes in an instant.

However, it is impossible to withstand the turbid lightning and karmic fire with just the physical body.

It will probably turn to ashes in less than a breath.

"Swallow Thief!" Zhou Qingfeng quickly used a secret technique to awaken the Devour Thief within his body, devouring the turbid lightning and karmic fire.

The Thief-Swallowing Secret Technique is the core secret art of the Thunderfire Refining Palace.

What is "devouring thieves"? It means that the human body has a latent power that can devour all things that are harmful to the body and turn them into its own. Under normal circumstances, people cannot mobilize the power of devouring thieves.

However, the martial arts prodigy who created the Thunderfire Refining Palace developed a martial arts technique to control the Devouring Thief.

This allows cultivators to control the Devouring Thunder and Karmic Fire, fusing them into their physical bodies.

It underwent 99,999 smelting processes.

Thus, the innate supernatural power was born: the Myriad Impure Body.

According to "Unofficial History and Secret Records".

The person who created the Thunderfire Refining Palace was a master of physical techniques who only cultivated physical skills and not magic. He pushed physical skills to their limit and did not cultivate magic, so people respectfully called him the Unlimited Path Demon Lord.

Why only cultivate physical skills and not magical techniques?

Because the Demon Lord of the Unparalleled Path has zero comprehension of magic, he cannot even cast the most basic spells.

However, this does not diminish the power of the Unparalleled Demon Lord.

Because the Demon Lord of the Unparalleled Path once kicked a great Buddha who attempted to save the evil world to death.

Whether it's true or false is impossible to verify, given how long ago it happened.

And this unofficial history is indeed quite unofficial.

Zhou Qingfeng expressed serious doubts about this, but had no evidence.

The only evidence that can prove he is not as powerful as the Supreme Demon Lord.

That is, the Thunderfire Refining Hall, which ranks first in the Turbid-level physical techniques.

Thirty-three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and it's now June.

It underwent 99,999 repeated smelting processes.

The Myriad Manifestations Body has finally been forged!

Zhou Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, flipped himself up, turned his head and gathered his strength to punch the waterfall behind him.

"Boom!" A punch landed on the waterfall.

The lightning and karmic fire that flashed on the fist instantly sent the thousand-foot waterfall flying into the air, turning it into steam.

The rock wall, more than ten meters away, was shattered by the leaping, turbid lightning and karmic fire, until it pierced through the entire mountain.

With a single punch, he pierced through a thousand-foot-high mountain.

This is the supreme power of the first level of turbid body techniques, the Myriad Turbid Body Technique.

"Hahaha, the Myriad Manifestations Body has finally been refined! With such power, who among those of the same level can kill me!?" Zhou Qingfeng opened his arms and laughed heartily, extremely arrogant and domineering, like an invincible demon.

Standing atop the mountain peak, Qiu Chengde looked down at Zhou Qingfeng at the foot of the mountain, a smile appearing in his eyes: "Young man, you're so arrogant, but... what kind of young man isn't arrogant?"

"Disciple, your turbid body is fully formed. Come back to the city with your master," Qiu Chengde said loudly.

Zhou Qingfeng looked up, clasped his hands in a fist and laughed, "Yes, Master!"
