Temple hall

  In the cold and quiet ancestral hall, only a few blue candles flickered slowly, making the whole hall seem eerie and mysterious.

  In front of the ancestral hall, there is a huge nanmu wood table, on which are placed the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Du family.

  Standing in front of the table, Du Zhentian casually took out three incense sticks and lit them up, inserting them into the incense burner. He then turned to face Du Fei behind him and said faintly, "You should also come pay your respects to my ancestors."

  Upon hearing this, Du Fei did not raise any objections and followed Du Zhentian to burn incense. After that, he slowly retreated to one side, remaining silent.

  Although he didn't know why Du Zhentian had called him here after the clan meeting, Du Fei wasn't planning to ask many questions.

  "Let's set up a spiritual position for Tian Er here." Du Zhentian spoke softly after a moment of silence.

  Upon hearing this, Du Fei's body shook violently, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "No!"

  "Why?" Du Zhentian's head slightly nodded, but his figure was in the darkness, so it was impossible to see his expression clearly.

  "Although I don't know whether my father is alive or dead, I have 50% confidence that they won't make a move... after all, what they want hasn't been obtained yet!" Du Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice, "Moreover, even if Father has already died, this spirit tablet cannot be set up until I personally take revenge!"

  He seemed to have taken a deep look at Du Fei, and then Du Zhentian let out a sigh and said: "Since your mind is made up, I don't think it's right for me to say anything more. I will instruct someone to write your father and son's names on the family tree again. As for your father's affairs, I don't want to ask any more questions either. I think you can handle it better than I can."

  "Thank you, Master!" Du Fei slightly bowed and said.

  "Still calling me Master of the House?" Du Zhentian seemed to raise an eyebrow.

  "I've seen him, Grandpa..." Du Fei hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

  "Haha! Great! I didn't expect that I, Du Zhentian, would have such a grandson!" Du Zhentian looked up and laughed, but his laughter somehow carried a hint of sorrow.

  As for his grandfather's feelings, Du Fei could understand a bit. He only had one son, his father, who was extremely talented but betrayed the family for a woman. The old man must have been deeply hurt in his heart, even if he didn't show it on the surface.

  But his own return, although also bringing news of his father's misfortune, probably also brought him a few moments of joy.

  After a moment, Du Zhentian seemed to have calmed down. He looked at Du Fei carefully and said in a low voice, "The cultivation method you are using is the Ice Heart Decision, isn't it?"

  Du Fei also knew that this matter couldn't be hidden from others, so he slightly raised his right hand and casually pinched out a Finger Seal. Instantly, a thin layer of ice crystals appeared in the palm of his hand, only to disappear in an instant.

  "Not bad, indeed it's the Ice Heart Decision of my Du family. You've cultivated it, so be it, whenever you're willing to return the technique to the Du family is fine." Regarding Du Fei cultivating the Ice Heart Decision, Du Zhentian didn't seem to have any objections. After hesitating for a moment, he continued, "However, although this Ice Heart Decision of my Du family is just a fragment, it still comes with two sets of martial skills - the Ice Edge Leg and the Mysterious Yin Finger. I think you've already obtained the Ice Edge Leg? This Mysterious Yin Finger... has always been something only the head of the household can learn... but I only have one grandson like you, if I don't pass on this Mysterious Yin Finger to you, I reckon there won't be anyone else who can inherit it! Concentrate and listen carefully!"

  Having said that, Du Zhentian didn't give Du Fei a chance to object, and with his two fingers together, he instantly pointed at Du Fei's brow.

  As Du Zhen Tian moved, a stream of mysterious information suddenly flowed quickly into his mind, and almost at the same time, the cold electronic sound in Du Fei's brain also rose rapidly, immediately recording this information flow completely into the system.

  "Mystic Dark Finger, Seventh Rank Martial Skill, with Ice Heart Technique as the foundation, Ice Heart Energy as the guide, condensing Yin to form the finger, the finger shoots out like a fatal strike..."

  Quickly browsing through the mind method, Du Fei was quite surprised to find that this volume of Xuan Yin Finger was more profound and difficult to understand than any martial skill he had cultivated before. However, it was precisely because of this that its power was also extremely great. If he could cultivate this move, although it wouldn't make him invincible among the 9th rank warriors, it would greatly increase his strength.

  "Thank you, Dad... Grandpa..." Du Fei bowed slightly after a moment.

  "This thing won't be passed on to you, will it be taken into the coffin?" Du Zhentian smiled lightly and immediately let out a sigh, saying slowly, "I don't know where you learned your alchemy skills, but I'm not going to ask. In the future, if you need any medicinal materials for alchemy, just speak up and the family will try our best to satisfy you. As for the family's martial arts, although I have a way to let you learn them all, these things are hard to digest when taken in excess, so I won't suggest that you do so - in short, don't worry too much about family matters, just focus on your cultivation."

  Upon hearing this, Du Fei slowly nodded. In any case, three months later, he would be going to the Dan Wang ruins with Yun Yuqing, and there really wasn't time to worry about too many things.

  As for refining the elixir, with my current strength, I should be able to refine the Marrow Washing Elixir. I need to go to the Dan Wang ruins, if I don't prepare a bit more of this thing, it's likely that it won't work.

  "There's another thing," Du Zhentian said slowly after glancing at Du Fei, "the matter of the Xuan You Secret Realm, you must have heard your father mention it before?"

  "Mysterious and secluded realm?" Du Fei's whole body slightly trembled, but he quickly responded.

  It is said that the Xuan You Secret Realm was a place where many years ago, in the Da An Dynasty, there were several famous sects, and the mountain gate of the Xuan You Sect was located. Legend has it that the Xuan You Sect's kung fu skills were unmatched, but their power was extremely astonishing. However, at the same time, the Xuan You Sect's kung fu skills and martial arts training were extremely difficult to cultivate.

  So this sect, although once powerful and prominent, gradually disappeared from people's sight as time passed.

  However, after hundreds of years, a great master finally emerged from the city. While cultivating in the wilderness, he inadvertently discovered the location of the ruins of the Xuan You Sect's mountain gate, and that place was called the Xuan You Secret Realm.

  It is said that in the mysterious and secluded realm, all kinds of precious spiritual herbs are planted, and countless demonic beasts are raised. At the same time, it is said that at the deepest part, there is still the ruins of the Xuan You Sect's mountain gate, and the legendary Xuan You Sect's kung fu skills naturally exist in the mountain ruins.

  Since the discovery of the Mystic Realm, many people have entered it in search of the ruins of the Mystic Sect over the years. Although no one has found them yet, every person who enters and manages to come out alive will gain a lot of benefits.

  However, this mysterious realm has a strange rule: no matter who it is, they can only enter once. Those who have entered before will only be able to circle around the perimeter, no matter what method they use. Moreover, this mysterious realm can only be entered on a specific day every three years; at other times, no one can enter.

  Because of these two points, this mysterious and secluded realm has become a place for the major powers near the city to train their younger generations. After all, no matter what, if the young people in the family can be trained from such a place, it is estimated that there will be considerable benefits.

  Moreover, as time went on, this exercise was no longer just an exercise, but also included the open and secret struggles of various forces.

  At that time, Du Fei's father, Du Tian, emerged from the mysterious and secluded realm of Xuan You Mi Jing, becoming the first person of his generation in the Du family. Moreover, it was said that he also met Du Fei's mother, known as the "Yao Nu" (Demon Woman) among the Du family members, within that same mystical realm...

  "What does Grandpa mean?" Slowly shaking his head, Du Fei threw out these complicated thoughts and said in a low voice.

  Du Zhentian nodded slightly and said, "Fei'er, you are now the number one junior in the city, so no matter what, you must go to the Xuan You Secret Realm a month later... I think that with your strength, you won't be at a disadvantage inside, but one thing you need to pay attention to is that in the Xuan You Secret Realm, any elixirs will lose their effect. Naturally, this includes your Dan technique, which also won't have any effect."

  Du Fei was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect this turn of events. However, in an instant, he understood why Du Zhentian had passed on the Xuan Yin Finger technique to him at this time. It turned out that it was all about embarking on the mysterious and secluded realm of Xuan You!

  To understand this, Du Fei also knew that he had no room for refusal. He laughed and said: "Grandfather can rest assured, even if I don't have Dan's skills, am I, Du Fei, still afraid of anyone? Even if it's an eighth-grade martial artist, I have the confidence to fight him!"

  Du Zhentian glanced at him, seemingly shocked by his boldness. After a moment, he said calmly: "In addition to you, our Du family also has Du Han and Du Qian participating...Qian'er is naturally gentle and your fiancée, so in the Mystic Void Secret Realm, you should take care of her a bit more...As for Du Han, I still haven't figured out his personality, but since we're all from the Du family, I suppose there won't be any problems. However, you must pay special attention to the Lian and Gong Sun families...This is such a great opportunity in the Mystic Void Secret Realm, they will definitely not let it go! The forces outside the city's borders probably don't want our Du family to produce another Dan Master either, do you understand my meaning?"

  Du Fei smiled faintly, with a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth. After a moment, he lightly clapped his hands and said: "If no one provokes me, then everyone will naturally be at peace. However, if someone wants to make a move on me... I don't mind killing a few more people. After all, I've already killed enough!"

  Upon hearing this, Du Zhentian let out a light sigh, his face showing neither joy nor worry. Only after a moment did he wave his hand lightly, signaling for Du Fei to withdraw.
