Chapter 62: The Demonic Sect
After Qin Sang and the others finished paying their respects to the founder, Senior Uncle Yue continued, "Our sect's founder was a Spiritual Infant Realm cultivator. After realizing he couldn't break through to the Divine Transformation Realm, he founded the Kuiyin Sect here and passed down his legacy. He ascended at the age of 1,083. Currently, our sect is led by three Golden Core Realm masters, all disciples of Saint Kuiyin. You must know that, like other immortal cultivation sects, our Kuiyin Sect ranks its members by cultivation level. If you manage to break through to the Foundation Building Realm, you may then become a disciple of one of the Golden Core Realm masters, which would make you my junior brother..."
Liang Yan, grinning, interjected, "Then I'll have to call all of you senior uncles."
Senior Uncle Yue continued, "On this Yin Malevolent Cliff, there are many cave dwellings, and nearly a thousand Qi Refining Realm disciples. You don't see them now because they're all cultivating in their caves. From now on, you are fellow disciples. While the sect does not forbid duels, killing one another is strictly prohibited. Anyone who does so will face severe punishment! Do you understand?"
With a stern warning in his voice, Senior Uncle Yue made it clear, and naturally, Qin Sang and the others quickly nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they were being obedient, Senior Uncle Yue softened his expression slightly. He patted his Mustard Seed Pouch, and seven streaks of black light flew out, each containing two items: a gray pouch and a yellow-white bead the size of a longan.
"These are Malevolence-Avoiding Pouches. When you venture into the Yin Malevolent Abyss, activate them to prevent the malevolent yin qi from invading your body. The bead is a Yang Warming Pearl. Keep it on you while cultivating, and it will warm your body, shielding you from the surrounding cold. If you encounter evil spirits in the malevolent yin qi, activate the yang qi within the bead to repel them. However, the Yang Warming Pearl only works on weaker spirits. Never venture too deep into the qi." [1]
As the pouches and beads fell into everyone's hands, Qin Sang gripped the Malevolence-Avoiding Pouch tightly. It felt like coarse cloth, while the Yang Warming Pearl emitted a faint warmth. Both were artifacts, but of a low grade—merely low-grade artifacts with unique functions.
While inspecting the Malevolence-Avoiding Pouch, Qin Sang was startled by Senior Uncle Yue's words and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Uncle Yue, does the base of the cliff contain nothing but malevolent yin qi?"
Senior Uncle Yue nodded. "The intense cold in the Yin Malevolent Abyss is caused by the malevolent yin qi at the bottom of the cliff."
