"You... you..." Old Ye swallowed repeatedly as he looked at this monster disciple who had just joined the sect. "The Sect Master said that people should be reasonable..."

Qin Haoxuan smiled. Having read books since he was young, he understood that reasoning with reasonable people was sensible, but reasoning with unreasonable people was foolish. He recalled how a great scholar once tried to reason with a notorious bandit, only to have his head cut off by the thief's blade.

For the people in front of him, using fists was the fastest way to communicate! For the next seven days to be easier for everyone, let's go! Let's use our fists to reason properly!

Qin Haoxuan grabbed Old Ye, who was slumped nearby, and punched him hard in the chest. With a few cracking sounds, his ribs broke, and he lay on the ground, groaning in agony, his Yuan force depleted and unable to resist.

Dropping Old Ye, he immediately pounced on another man, swinging his iron fists without hesitation...

A disciple in the Immortal Seedling Realm Third Leaf, who still had some spiritual energy within him, tried to resist. He gathered his spiritual energy and was about to cast another spell at Qin Haoxuan. Qin Haoxuan glared at him fiercely. Under Qin Haoxuan's gaze, which was far from menacing, the Immortal Seedling Realm Third Leaf expert froze. He felt as if his soul had been struck a heavy blow, his mind went blank, and he couldn't cast his spell. Instead, Qin Haoxuan, who had pounced on him, beat him into a pulp, even stomping on him a few times at the end!

After a long time, the disciple who had been attacked by Qin Haoxuan's spiritual sense looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. Recalling the severe damage to his soul just now, the fear of his soul scattering haunted him for many years, causing him nightmares.

What is a beating? Those who were dealt with by Qin Haoxuan deeply understood what a beating was, with their own bodies.

Two enforcement disciples, peeking from behind the iron gate, exchanged glances. They had expected Qin Haoxuan to suffer a great loss, but unexpectedly, he was not only unharmed but also enjoyed a satisfying "newcomer's meal" and fought against many, beating those Immortal Seedling Realm Second and Third Leaf cultivators until they cried for their mothers.

After the lesson, these people didn't even dare to think about revenge, let alone approach Qin Haoxuan. It was a joke; provoking a monster who couldn't be injured would be like the God of Longevity hanging himself, seeking death.

After the "newcomer's meal" ended, the heat in Qin Haoxuan's body surged again. Although the heat waves from the Lava Cellar offset some of the heat in his body, the remaining heat needed to be eliminated through cultivation if he wasn't beaten.

Qin Haoxuan circulated the Great Dao Heart Seed Demon Technique. Spiritual energy, containing the violent heat of the lava, poured into his body like crazy. This volatility mixed in the spiritual energy required others to carefully filter it out; if they absorbed it all, they would surely suffer qi deviation. But Qin Haoxuan didn't need to. The Witch Cultivator's body was extremely robust. When this spiritual energy, mixed with violent heat, entered his body, it neutralized the volatility in his own spiritual energy, like a cool hand gently caressing his hot body.

Part of this spiritual energy nourished the Immortal Seed, and part entered the bone marrow. Although the cultivation speed was not as fast as the Purple Seed absorbing spiritual energy, it was much faster than outside.

However, some people were unwilling to let Qin Haoxuan live too comfortably, even though he was already in solitary confinement.

At dusk, in a hidden dwelling, this was the living area for the Menial Disciples of Spirit Field Valley. Zhang Kuang stood there, surrounded by a group of fawning Menial Disciples.

"Perhaps you all know that my fellow townsman Qin Haoxuan has a conflict with me. Last year, he broke several of my ribs. Now he's been thrown into the Lava Cellar, and I don't want to give him a chance to recover!" Zhang Kuang's eyes held a murderous intent as he scanned the Menial Disciple seniors. "I've spoken to an enforcement disciple. As long as someone is willing to deliberately make a mistake, he will help me send that person into the Lava Cellar! I want to leave Qin Haoxuan with nowhere to run!"

After speaking, Zhang Kuang continued, "When my spiritual techniques are perfected in the future and I have a place in the Taichu Sect, I will definitely not forget those who helped me today!"

The Taichu Sect had tens of thousands of disciples, with countless capable experts. It was extremely difficult to stand out among them and shed the identity of a Menial Disciple. However, if a Purple Seed disciple with unlimited potential made such a promise, even if the future wasn't guaranteed to be glorious, it could at least help them escape the constant disdain and low status of being a Menial Disciple and enjoy the treatment of ordinary disciples. This was a great temptation for them.

Immediately, the Menial Disciples rushed to sign up.

"I'll do it!" A man who bore a slight resemblance to Yuan Shanhu punched a waist-thick tree with a casual blow. With a crackling sound, the tree snapped and fell to the ground with a loud thud, drowning out the other chaotic registrations. "I am Yuan Shanhu's cousin, Yuan Shanxiang! Immortal Seedling Realm Fifth Leaf! Qin Haoxuan harmed my cousin and caused him to be confined while injured. I will definitely not let him off lightly!"

With each additional leaf in the Immortal Seedling Realm, the strength increased by a level. The Immortal Seedling Realm Fifth Leaf was already a relatively high cultivation level among these Menial Disciples. After Yuan Shanxiang registered, the other disciples who felt inferior fell silent.

Looking at Yuan Shanxiang's explosive muscles and the strength he displayed, Zhang Kuang smiled with satisfaction. "Qin Haoxuan, Qin Haoxuan, could your body be even harder than that tree!"

Qin Haoxuan knew nothing of all this, nor could he have predicted how desperately Zhang Kuang wanted to kill him. After meditating and cultivating for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard the rustling sound of the iron gate opening, and the aroma of food wafted into his nostrils. This made Qin Haoxuan, who was still meditating, unable to sit still.

Damn it! What's going on today? Even if I starved for a whole day before, I wasn't this ravenous. I'm starving to death!

Smelling the aroma of food, Qin Haoxuan wasn't the only one who couldn't remain calm. The Immortal Seedling Realm disciples he had injured, lying listlessly in the corner, also had their eyes gleaming!

They looked like a group of starving ghosts reincarnated.

Eating was a daily necessity for ordinary people, even a meal-by-meal necessity.

But for newcomers confined in the solitary confinement area, it was usually just a luxury.

Cultivators naturally had large appetites, and in a place like the Lava Cellar, they needed to eat more to replenish their excessively depleted energy. If they didn't eat for a day, one could imagine how difficult it would be.

"Mealtime, mealtime!"

The disciple delivering the food divided a large pot of rice into sixteen portions. He cast a sympathetic glance at the newcomer Qin Haoxuan. For newcomers, if they weren't particularly strong fighters or had connections, not getting food on the first day was the unwritten rule of Solitary Confinement Mountain.

However, to the surprise of the food delivery disciple, the usual old timers, who would normally pounce like wolves and tigers before the food was even set down, were hesitant today. They dared not approach, only stealing fearful glances at Qin Haoxuan.

What was going on?

The food delivery disciple was a bit confused. Could it be that these people were afraid of this newcomer? Upon closer inspection, he noticed that they all had some bruises. The one who usually yelled the loudest, Old Ye, had a face swollen into a pig's head! And the newcomer was completely unharmed. Could it be that these people were bullied by the newcomer?

It made no sense! This newcomer, no matter how you looked at him, was only in the early stage of the Immortal Root Planting Realm, having just sprouted his seed, far from rooting properly, let alone sprouting leaves. And even if he had sprouted leaves, he wouldn't be a match for an expert in the Immortal Seedling Realm, let alone these wolves and tigers in the Immortal Seedling Realm, each of whom specialized in causing trouble and were sent here for it. Moreover, there were experts in the Immortal Seedling Realm Third Leaf among them!

As if to confirm his doubts, Qin Haoxuan calmly stood up and walked to the door, took his portion of food, and began to eat ravenously. The group of old timers, under Qin Haoxuan's glare, though starving, didn't dare to approach.

After Qin Haoxuan took his food and returned to his previous spot, the group of bruised old timers swarmed forward to get their meals.

Qin Haoxuan finished his meal in a few bites. Ever since he started cultivating, he could eat twenty steamed buns per meal. One reason was that cultivation consumed a lot of energy, and another was that the food in the Taichu Sect was exceptionally delicious and contained a special power that perfectly replenished the immense energy consumed during cultivation!

He used to think that Immortals didn't eat mortal food, but now it seemed like complete nonsense. Describing cultivators as "food buckets" wouldn't be an exaggeration!

After finishing his large bowl of rice, Qin Haoxuan still felt hungry. Looking at the old timers, he saw that their bowls, which they had just received, were still more than half full. He walked straight over, stopped them from eating, and, to the dumbfounded food delivery disciple, devoured the meals of these fifteen old timers who dared not speak out of anger. Even other cultivators, who were like food buckets, couldn't help but curse him in their hearts as they watched him eat: "What a food bucket!"

The food delivery disciple felt dizzy. Having seen strong people bully the weak his whole life, this was the first time he had seen the weak bully the strong!

Staring at Qin Haoxuan's ferocious eating, the old timers, who dared not speak out of anger, whispered amongst themselves.

"With our strength and cultivation level, we couldn't even injure him. What kind of freak do you think he is?"

"It's said that the strongest Martial Dao Innate can defeat cultivators in the Immortal Seedling Realm Seventh Leaf, but Martial Dao Innate experts cannot cultivate, because martial immortals cannot merge. I think he's very likely this kind of Martial Dao Innate!"

"It must be! Otherwise, how could an ordinary mortal be our opponent!"

Martial Dao Innate experts were extremely powerful existences in the mortal world. Without great perseverance and great fortune, one could not become a Martial Dao Innate. The gazes of these old timers towards Qin Haoxuan became more wary.

After eating his fill, Qin Haoxuan continued to cultivate. While others saw the Lava Cellar as a place of suffering and confinement, Qin Haoxuan viewed it as a blessed land for cultivation. With only seven days, he had to seize the opportunity to cultivate and completely digest the medicinal power of the One-Leaf Golden Lotus in his body. Such an opportunity was too rare!

"Brother Haoxuan, Brother Haoxuan."

Amidst a familiar and gentle call, Qin Haoxuan opened his eyes from his cultivation. He saw Xu Yu's face outside the iron gate. Her pretty face was flushed red and purple from the high temperature, making it difficult for her to breathe. An inexpressible sense of gratitude surged in his heart. He knew how difficult and dangerous the path from Spirit Field Valley to the Lava Cellar was. Now, Xu Yu, whose physical strength was not even as good as his, had braved numerous dangers to come here.

"These are the notes from this afternoon's lecture, you can look at them. I heard it's very hot here, so I brought you some water." Xu Yu walked up to Qin Haoxuan, handed him the notebook, and then took out a water pouch.

Qin Haoxuan clearly saw the cracked, bloody marks on her lips from the heat. A soft spot in his heart was instantly touched. He handed back the water flask she had given him. "You drink it. Moisten your throat."

"It's fine, I'm not thirsty," Xu Yu said, looking at the old timers gathered around, then at Qin Haoxuan. He sighed, "I went to find the Sect Master, but he was out traveling. I couldn't see him..."

Many people said that the name Qin Haoxuan was too cliché for a protagonist.

Others said, "Gao Lou, didn't you used to use homophones before? Like 'Gan Jin' for 'moving forward', and 'Qin Fen' for 'diligent'. Why this time?"

"Then I'll answer all of you at once. Pay attention, friends."
