Shen Yuan Ring

There are three days left until the opening of the Inheritance Realm.

All the major forces in Daoshu City are busy at work, and some have even set up camps near the secret realm in advance!

Meanwhile, ten days ago, another major event occurred in Daoshu City!

That is, the Xiang family, a top-tier second-rate power, was wiped out overnight by the Ji family and the Pill Palace!

The announcement released by the Pill Hall also made all major forces aware of the Pill Hall's forbidden zone!

That means you cannot have any connection with evil cultivators whatsoever, not even an employment relationship!

The Dan Palace has zero tolerance for evil cultivators.

No evil cultivators are allowed to commit crimes, harm their fellow countrymen, or tarnish the reputation of alchemists within the Dan Palace's territory.

Evil cultivators are a disgrace to alchemists. In order to become stronger, they do not hesitate to harm their fellow countrymen, turning themselves into something neither human nor ghost.

That's why the Pill Palace acted so decisively after the Xiang family's collusion with evil cultivators was exposed, joining forces with the Ji family to destroy the Xiang family!

Other forces did not speak out to condemn the Ji family and the Pill Palace after learning about the tragedy that had occurred in Shijiazhuang, because they all knew about it! Although the Ji family had imposed a blockade long ago, it was impossible for the major forces to have been completely unaware of the incident!

Nobody wants to become the next Shijiazhuang!

However, the Dan Palace and the Ji family felt no joy of victory after they destroyed the Xiang family!

Because they learned devastating news: Ji Daoyi had been murdered, and the murderer was none other than the Xiang family, whom they had destroyed!

They all knew that not long ago, the Xiang family secretly sent people into the Tagalah Monster Forest, but they suffered heavy losses and returned to the family.

But none of them suspected that the Xiang family had sent people to hunt down Ji Daoyi.

Similarly, no one expected that Ji Daoyi, who was at the Refining Muscle Realm, would cause the Xiang family to lose more than forty Meridian Opening Realm cultivators, and even three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!

But none of them wanted to believe that Ji Daoyi had perished, especially Ji Daoyi's parents, who couldn't believe their son had died so easily! Although the rest of the Ji family thought that Ji Hai and his wife were unwilling to accept this reality!

The minister of the Dan Palace also didn't believe it, because he couldn't believe that his master had waited hundreds of years for his disciple to be killed so easily!

Therefore, both the Ji family and the Dan Palace suppressed the news of Ji Daoyi's "death"!

Although neither the Ji family nor the Dan Palace knew the reason for their information blockade, they tacitly kept quiet!

The inner courtyard of the Ji family residence.

Nineteen Ji family youths who were participating in the training camp gathered together, and this gathering was arranged by the Grand Steward Ji Yang.

After nearly a year of training and development, each of them has grown significantly, both in terms of skill and understanding.

The lowest cultivation level among them was at the Blood Refining Realm, while the highest cultivation level had reached the early stage of the Tendon Refining Realm.

The most surprising growth was undoubtedly that of Ji Daoyi's group, which not only broke through quickly but also had a significantly stronger overall performance.

Because Ji Daoyi was absent, their group's overall cultivation level could only rank second.

Everyone knew that Group One was the strongest among them. Except for Wang Dan, who was only at the first organ perfection stage, the other three had all broken through to the fifth organ perfection stage in the last month, and were only one step away from breaking through to the tendon refining stage.

Of the four groups, only Ji Fan reached the Tendon Refining Realm, while the other group members had only reached the Fourth or Fifth Organ Realm.

Not to mention the cultivation levels of the other groups, but fortunately everyone had reached or exceeded the Blood Refining Realm.

Looking at the youthful, somewhat naive boys from just a few months ago, now so mature and composed, the Grand Deacon was filled with satisfaction. He said, "The family's higher-ups have all witnessed your performance, and I am extremely satisfied with your achievements this past year. I hope that you will continue to unite and help each other in the Inheritance Realm, working together to defend against external enemies!"

"Now, everyone, say your final goodbyes to your teachers. Their training program will come to a successful conclusion today! You can also return to the Foreign Languages ​​Department and reunite with your families for the next two days. You will then head to the Inheritance Realm in two days. I hope you will achieve great success."

After the chief deacon finished speaking, some people cheered, while others expressed reluctance; each person's expression was different.

They all knew that this departure might be their last. But in the struggle for a secret realm, death is inevitable, and besides, they had earned this path themselves.

To cultivate faster than others, one either needs extraordinary talent and resources, or one must fight with one's life to obtain opportunities and good fortune, just like this inheritance secret realm.

Life is nothing more than a struggle against heaven, against earth, against others, and against oneself! The victor shines brightly in the public eye, while the loser sinks into oblivion.

After all the teenagers reluctantly said goodbye and left, only the Grand Deacon and the three training instructors remained.

The Grand Deacon looked at Ji Feiyu and the other two with a complicated expression. The two he had originally favored the most had become Wang Yueyue's foil because of Ji Daoyi.

The head deacon sighed and said, "Do you know why Wang Yueyue didn't come?"

Ji Feiyu and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know!

"She is breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and has been in seclusion for over a month!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Feiyu and the others lowered their heads in disappointment. They knew that Group One had made the most progress this time and deserved to win first place. They had no complaints; they just blamed themselves for not having the luck.

Moreover, Ji Daoyi is ranked tenth in the Body Refinement Realm on the Illusion Ranking, and everyone in the inner academy knows that.

This result shows that Ji Daoyi's strength has caught up with theirs, and his potential far exceeds that of them.

"Grand Steward, we have no objections to this matter. Wang Yueyue's group deserved to win first place. We also have no complaints about her obtaining the Breakthrough Pill ahead of schedule."

"Oh, really?" The Grand Deacon looked at Ji Feiyu and Ji Yan with a half-smile. The two of them had fought fiercely when they were initially selecting their groups, and now that neither of them had gotten what they wanted, how could they be at peace with themselves?

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore! Here you go. Although the team you three led this time wasn't as good as Wang Yueyue's, that's not your fault! So the family has decided to reward you with five Breakthrough Pills."

Not to mention Ji Feiyu and Ji Yan, even Yuan Li, who had just taken over the second group, was shocked by the Grand Steward's words and opened her mouth wide!

The head steward stuffed the Breakthrough Pills into their hands, then turned and left with his hands behind his back.

Although he showed no expression on his face, he was actually extremely pleased inside, thinking to himself, "If it weren't for that kid Ji Daoyi refining so many high-level broken mirrors this time, how could the family have come up with so many rewards! And the first place reward doesn't even have to be paid for by the family!"

When Ji Feiyu and the others saw the jade bottle in their hands and the departing figure of the Grand Steward, they realized what was happening and bowed in gratitude.

Ji Yan said happily, "Brother Feiyu, I didn't expect that we could get Breakthrough Pills, and five of them at that! Even if they are only five medium-grade Breakthrough Pills, I feel that breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm is no problem!"

The other two were equally happy. When Yuan Li, the teacher from the second group, opened the jade bottle, she was stunned when she saw the Breakthrough Pill!

She stared blankly and shouted, "Ji Yan, Fei Yu, quickly open the jade bottle and check the Breakthrough Pill!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Feiyu and Ji Yan quickly opened the jade bottles in their hands to examine them!

But when they opened it, their expressions were the same as Yuan Li's!
