Shock!
All members of a sect are picked up, or they have no father or mother.
However, they are all monsters with extraordinary talents.
The protagonist builds the golden elixir in one year and two years in the process. His second junior brother is also talented and intelligent and his cultivation level is as good as his own.
The master is a thousand-year-old bastard and a ten-thousand-year-old tortoise, so powerful that no one can beat him.
This competition was originally used to select the most talented sect among the youngest generation, but the two brothers directly defeated them.
The two went down the mountain to experience, and saw the suffering and dangers of the world: killing their wives and children during the famine, voluntarily offering the head of their own daughters for power and gain, and killing an entire village just for a few taels of silver and self-preservation...
At the same time, I also encountered many strange things: a hut where crying sounds often came from in the middle of the night, a person with a second strange talking face, a corpse that was obviously dead but still alive...
The two of them finished their training and returned to their sect.
But inside the door, only the house burned by the fire and the cold bodies of the junior brothers and sisters were left.
