The next day, at dawn.

Old Master Zhong slept on the withered leaves in the forest. Pointed at his throat was a long sword, trembling slightly. The owner of the sword was Zixun Fairy.

It was morning, and Zixun Fairy had woken up first. Upon waking, she discovered, to her shock, that she was in the arms of an old man. Feeling the pain in her lower body, Zixun Fairy quickly dressed, flipped her hand to produce a long sword, and pointed it at the old man's throat.

To this day, Zixun Fairy still didn't know the man's name. Zixun Fairy bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and two lines of tears unconsciously streamed down her face. The initial panic had disappeared. She held the long sword pointed at the old man, hesitating, wondering whether to stab him.

Looking at the trace of blood in the old man's lower body, her own blood, Zixun Fairy ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it. She took another careful look. This person had poor bone structure and no future in cultivation. Perhaps, perhaps he wouldn't live much longer and would die soon. Let him die on his own. Mortals had short lifespans and would die soon enough. Besides, before this, he had saved her.

Zixun Fairy took a deep look at the old man again, stepped on the ground, and a purple cloud carried her into the air.

Looking back again, for some reason, Zixun Fairy waved her hand, covering Old Master Zhong with his clothes. Furthermore, in the distance around Old Master Zhong, Zixun Fairy suddenly moved many broken stones, arranging them into a small formation to prevent poisonous insects and snakes. Zixun Fairy didn't know why she did this. In her heart, she would never see this person again. Wouldn't it be better if he were bitten to death by poisonous insects and fierce beasts? Why, why did she still help him?

With a complex mood, Zixun Fairy quickly disappeared into the vast sea of clouds.

Old Master Zhong slept until the afternoon of the next day before waking up. Upon waking, he suddenly found himself naked, and his heart was startled. He quickly put on his clothes. Seeing the trace of blood in his lower body, Old Master Zhong frowned and immediately recalled everything that had happened before.

Zixun Fairy?

The beautiful woman had already disappeared. Old Master Zhong also tidied up his mood. However, regarding Zixun Fairy, Old Master Zhong's heart was filled with strangeness. Kaiyang Sect, why, why was it such a coincidence?

After getting dressed, he picked up the Dragon Head Cane. Fortunately, the Dragon Head Cane was still there. Gently, he twisted the dragon's head, and from the dragon's mouth, his treasure, the Red Pearl, immediately appeared.

After putting it away, Old Master Zhong immediately looked around. The area around his feet was a mess. Not far away, there was a broken saber?

A broken saber? Old Master Zhong immediately walked over. He thought that Zixun Fairy hadn't looked closely at this broken saber, partly because she didn't want to, and partly because the saber was broken.

The fire of heavenly lightning had burned the Red Phoenix Old Demon to ashes, but this saber was only broken?

Old Master Zhong began to study it carefully. Old Master Zhong didn't believe that this inherited sect saber was merely a symbolic item.

Being able to withstand the lightning fire, it was obvious that the material must be exceptionally strong. Therefore, keeping it for future smelting might allow him to make other magical treasures. However, what Old Master Zhong didn't know was that its ability to withstand the fire of heavenly lightning was actually due to a formation inside. It was just that when the saber broke, the formation was also destroyed, and the saber was not of much use anymore.

Looking at it inch by inch, Old Master Zhong finally saw the material of the saber hilt. It seemed to be wrapped in some kind of animal skin. On the animal skin, the very beautiful characters "Red Phoenix" were imprinted.

Gently, Old Master Zhong began to scrape it with the small dagger in his pocket. For this inherited sect saber, in the Red Phoenix Sect, it was just a symbol of inheritance. Who would damage it like Old Master Zhong?

Slowly, a hint of surprise flashed in Old Master Zhong's eyes. His small dagger was not a simple item; it was one of his treasured possessions. Yet, after scraping for a long time, he had only scraped out a small opening?

Old Master Zhong patiently scraped. Two hours later, he finally scraped open the animal skin.

Inside, a silk scarf was wrapped?

A silk scarf? Old Master Zhong was overjoyed. He had found a treasure.

He immediately unfolded the silk scarf. It was densely covered with tiny characters.

For this day, Old Master Zhong had already studied many different scripts. Naturally, he recognized them.

Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture

Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture?

Old Master Zhong looked at the four characters at the beginning with surprise. Following that were more than eighty thousand characters of content.

Seeing this scene, Old Master Zhong's heart began to pound. A secret manual, this was a secret manual. He had paid so much for it in the past, and he never expected it to appear at this moment.

Old Master Zhong had reached the Innate Stage, and his memory was still astonishing. Eighty thousand characters, Old Master Zhong found a valley and spent three days memorizing it all. Then, he spent another three days constantly reciting it to make sure he wouldn't forget. Afraid of forgetting, Old Master Zhong even spent five days reciting it backward from the end. Another three days were spent repeatedly memorizing it, both forward and backward, until it was deeply ingrained in his memory. Only then did Old Master Zhong set it on fire and destroy it.

The Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture was a supreme secret method. It was not a cultivation technique manual, but a supreme secret method for cultivating the power of thought in the space between the eyebrows. Power of thought?

Old Master Zhong was not clear about the importance of the power of thought, but he also knew from it that the original cultivation technique of the Red Phoenix Sect was not this Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture. It was just that this Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture was too miraculous, so the sect was named after it. Moreover, Old Master Zhong still didn't know that the successive sect masters of the Red Phoenix Sect only knew half of the Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture.

Looking at the pile of silk scarf ashes, Old Master Zhong also buried the inherited sect saber on the spot. Everything had to be done carefully.

Then, Old Master Zhong, leaning on the Dragon Head Cane, quickly returned to the manor.

After giving instructions to the butler, Old Master Zhong also took a train from underground back to the land of the Great Kun Kingdom.

In the Zhong Mansion, Old Master Zhong's breakthrough and return, with his appearance changing to that of a forty-year-old, surprised everyone. Innate Stage, Innate Martial Warrior, a legendary title, quickly jumped into the hearts of all the servants and adopted sons. Had Old Master Zhong reached the Innate Stage?

However, the eight adopted sons had disappeared, but no one dared to ask.

In the inner courtyard of the Zhong Mansion, Old Master Zhong sat cross-legged in the cultivation room.

The Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture had a total of twelve layers. Old Master Zhong was currently cultivating the first layer, "Rising Sha."

Following that method, Old Master Zhong stayed in the Zhong Mansion for two months. Finally, he finally completed the so-called "Rising Sha," the first layer. Old Master Zhong sat cross-legged, and in his palm, wisps of red mist floated, appearing and disappearing.

Red Phoenix Mist, the number one aphrodisiac in the world? Old Master Zhong looked at this scene, a hint of strangeness flashing in his eyes.

With a flip of his hand, the Red Phoenix Mist disappeared, but the space between Old Master Zhong's eyebrows felt full. Gently, according to the description in the Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture, Old Master Zhong could slowly see a small space in the area between his eyebrows.

In the small space, waves of pink transparent energy gently rotated inside. This energy seemed formless, yet also seemed tangible, very strange. Gently controlling it, Old Master Zhong used this pink transparent energy to gently probe his body, and it seemed to be able to penetrate objects, entering the inside of his body and seeing his meridians.

Divine Sense? Old Master Zhong thought with surprise, recalling a vague shadow in his memory. No, it wasn't Divine Sense, this was the power of thought. But what was the difference between the power of thought and Divine Sense?

Old Master Zhong couldn't figure it out and could only think about it slowly in the future. Old Master Zhong knew that with just a little true qi mixed with this pink power of thought and gently catalyzed, it would turn into Red Phoenix Mist.

This power of thought was very, very miraculous.

Suppressing the excitement and joy in his heart, Old Master Zhong also gently stood up. The first layer of the Red Phoenix Heavenly Scripture was the easiest to cultivate; the later layers would become increasingly difficult. It would definitely not be possible to cultivate them in a short time. Now, the power of thought was secondary; the most important thing was the cultivation technique for the Innate Stage.

Gently, Old Master Zhong lifted the cushion, looked at the bricks beneath the cushion, and slowly lifted the bricks, revealing a small hidden compartment.

Inside the hidden compartment was a small purple wooden box.

He took out the small purple wooden box very carefully, wiped it with his sleeve, and then slowly opened the small box. Inside was a small jade slip, on which flowed colorful streams of light, indicating that there was a restriction on the jade slip. Only a special method could break the internal restriction; otherwise, forcibly breaking it would only destroy the contents stored in the jade slip.

Next to it was a piece of white cloth. On the white cloth were many lines and some mountain and river diagrams. This was a map. Although Old Master Zhong had already deeply imprinted this map in his heart, he had still carefully drawn it down at the time.

Old Master Zhong still remembered the person who had given him the jade slip. It was a gray-robed man with somewhat disheveled hair.

"Now, many people are chasing me. I can't escape. Give this jade slip to the Sect Master of Kaiyang Sect. He will agree to a not-difficult request from you," the gray-robed man said urgently.

"Can I join the Kaiyang Sect?" Zhong Shan asked eagerly.

Looking deeply at Zhong Shan, the gray-robed man said, "As long as you reach the Innate Stage, you definitely can."

"Address," Zhong Shan's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly.

The gray-robed man slapped the ground, and on the mud, the route to Kaiyang Sect was imprinted, which was the white cloth diagram that Old Master Zhong had copied.

After doing everything, the gray-robed man flew into the sky and disappeared in front of Zhong Shan. At the same time, Zhong Shan saw more than a dozen rays of light in the sky shooting in one direction.

Looking at the small jade slip in his hand again, a hint of excitement flashed in Old Master Zhong's eyes. Innate Stage, Innate Stage, he would definitely be able to join the Kaiyang Sect.
