Looking at the environment inside the bathhouse, Ye Feng felt a pang of sadness; it was even worse than his Black Wind Stronghold.
The main issue was that there wasn't even a single partition or cubicle inside the bathhouse; it was completely an empty, spacious hall.
"It's a good thing my treasure didn't make me lose face, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to bathe here!"
Ye Feng took a deep breath and entered the bathhouse.
After putting his belongings aside, Ye Feng drew a bucket of water and began to bathe.
Because he was a bit worried about losing his belongings, he specifically bathed not far from them, so that in case of any situation, he could protect his belongings immediately.
At this moment, there were several other people bathing in the bathhouse, and upon seeing Ye Feng's 'capital,' they all felt ashamed.
However, most of them comforted themselves by thinking that they just hadn't matured yet, that they were still young, and that they would have a chance later.
Only one chubby boy was a bit displeased.
Before coming to Xuantian Sect, some of the maids at his home had told him he was the best, and that others were just mediocre, but now seeing Ye Feng, his mindset completely broke down.
"Hey, you over there, you're new, how old are you? You're so old and still coming to Cultivate Immortality, isn't it too late?"
"25 years old. So, is that very old?"
Ye Feng glanced at the other party; with his plump appearance, his fair and tender small hands, devoid of any calluses, he was clearly a pampered young master.
His several followers looked impoverished, so they were likely just young masters from the mortal world, not true Immortal Descendants.
"Oh, you really are an old geezer, hahaha! Decent people all come up the mountain to Cultivate at thirteen or fourteen. But you, you come at 25? You have no hope of Foundation Establishment, just wait to die!"
The chubby boy, Qian Jiayou, burst into laughter.
The people in the bathhouse were also infected and couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"This is hilarious, a 25-year-old still coming to Cultivate Immortality! Cultivate what?!"
"Hahaha!"
"Laugh your mother!"
Ye Feng went up and delivered several big slaps.
Slap, slap, slap, slap, he directly made the chubby boy and his three little followers cry.
"Wuwuwu, you dare hit me! Wuwuwu, my dad won't let you off!"
"What, who's your dad? You want him to come? Do you think I'm afraid of him?"
Ye Feng was full of banditry.
"I..."
Qian Jiayou felt a pang of frustration.
His family had money, but only in the mortal world. In this Xuantian Sect, he had no backing whatsoever!
"Hmph, old geezer, you're ruthless. Let's go!"
Qian Jiayou immediately felt disgraced and quickly rounded up his little brothers to leave.
Seeing Ye Feng deal with Qian Jiayou and his few followers, even making them scurry away to change clothes, Ning Buqu was a bit surprised.
Because Qian Jiayou's cultivation wasn't low; he had already reached the Qi Refining Third Layer, and usually, relying on his followers, he didn't bully people any less!
After Ye Feng also finished bathing and came out of the bathhouse, he asked curiously.
"Big brother, my name is Ning Buqu. What's your name, and what's your cultivation level? How were you able to deal with Qian Jiayou and them?"
"Ning Buqu, that sounds a bit like a protagonist's name, doesn't it?"
Ye Feng mumbled, then replied.
"My name is Ye Feng. I am currently a Martial Artist in the Innate Middle Stage. If we don't consider Spells and only talk about Physical Body combat, I am not weaker than the Qi Refining Fifth Layer."
"So that's how it is. Feng Ge, you're quite old, and you're still coming up the mountain to Cultivate Immortality; it really is a bit late. I heard that only by cultivating to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer before the age of 30 do you qualify to compete for a Foundation Establishment Pill in the Outer Sect Competition. You're already 25, and as miscellaneous laborers, we still have a lot of chores to do, so it might be a bit difficult."
Ning Buqu suddenly realized.
"Difficult? What is not difficult? Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it. Even if the Sect doesn't provide a Foundation Establishment Pill, I believe in the future I will definitely find other ways to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill, or successfully achieve Foundation Establishment through other means."
Ye Feng felt a little uncertain inside, but his words remained firm.
Because he believed, he saw.
Sometimes, verbal declarations are indispensable.
"I hope so, Feng Ge. You're new. Do you want me to take you to the dormitory now?"
Ning Buqu was unwilling to believe it in his heart, but he no longer spoke ominous words aloud, so as to avoid Ye Feng giving him a big slap too.
"Okay!"
Before the two arrived at the dormitory area, Qian Jiayou had already arrived with his three little followers and began to spread the word widely.
"Do you know? A 25-year-old uncle recently arrived at our Di Yong Peak; he only started Cultivating Immortality at 25, it's absolutely hilarious!"
"That uncle is already an old geezer, and he still comes up to Cultivate Immortality; he's practically seeking death. He'll never succeed in Foundation Establishment in this lifetime!"
Upon hearing this, the miscellaneous laborers in the dormitory area were all astonished.
"What, who is it?! Someone came up the mountain at 25? Doesn't the Sect not accept anyone over 15?"
"That's so outrageous!"
Everyone's exclamations directly fell into the ears of Ye Feng and Ning Buqu, who had just arrived at the dormitory area.
"Feng Ge, you're being talked about now. It's better to avoid trouble. Bear with it."
Ning Buqu advised.
"Heh heh, truly powerful young masters and princesses would have long since gone directly to the Outer Sect or Inner Sect. These mere small fries, they want to casually curse me? Dream on!"
Ye Feng, however, couldn't tolerate it at all.
On the way, through his conversation with Ning Buqu, he had already understood.
When normal children enter Xuantian Sect, they usually first test their Spiritual Roots. All Three Spiritual Roots and Grade A Four Spiritual Roots are arranged in the Outer Sect. Single Spiritual Root and Dual Spiritual Roots are arranged in the Inner Sect. Grade B Four Spiritual Roots and worse Spiritual Roots are arranged in Di Yong Peak as miscellaneous laborers.
Generally, Immortal Descendants don't have bad Spiritual Roots; if they really can't make it, they can easily get into the Outer Sect through connections. They wouldn't be stuck in this Di Yong Peak. The most powerful people here are just some individuals with a bit of power in the mortal world.
The power and wealth of the mortal world are worlds apart from the Cultivation World; they are completely unrelated. What is he afraid of?!
He's a bandit, who is he afraid of? His main principle is to bully the weak and fear the strong.
"Are you all here? What are you barking about?!"
"You, surnamed Qian, are you looking for a beating?!"
Ye Feng stepped into the miscellaneous laborer courtyard and immediately roared at Qian Jiayou.
Some people nearby were thinking that Ye Feng was getting agitated, but seeing Ye Feng's fierce eyes and his bandit-like demeanor, some sensitive young fellows were directly scared to tears.
Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!
A large group of thirteen and fourteen-year-olds cried profusely.
"Little brats are just little brats!"
"Hmph!"
Seeing his remarkable achievements, Ye Feng was very satisfied.
"Wuwuwu, scary uncle!"
"So scary!"
"I want to go home and find my mommy, wuwuwu!"
