Chapter 321 Brother, Please Take a Seat
The white clouds are long and the sky and the earth are vast.
The vast mountains are like a boundless ocean, connecting the sky and the earth, with no end in sight. Only the green mountains are like waves and the green plants are like foam.
There are also full of aura, green smoke curling up, animals moving among the rocks, and monks with tied hair walking in the mountains and forests. Every move contains the charm of natural Taoism. They are obviously Taoist masters and enlightened fairy birds and spiritual beasts, no matter they are Anyone who sees it will be amazed at what a blessed land of immortals. If a cave can be opened here, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?
"Is this where the gate of Shenxiao Sect is?"
Looking at the pure and elegant scene in front of him, Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, this place is not grand.
Compared with the Negative Star Demon Palace, the mountain and geographical trends here can only be said to be ordinary.
You can't go up to the high mountains where the moon is in the sky, and you can't go down to the deep sea to catch turtles.
But just such a vast mountain that looks very ordinary gives Zhang Wei an elegant and independent fairy spirit.
Zhang Wei saw countless beautiful scenery along the way.
The Ten Thousand Islands of the Cangyun Sect are floating in the sky, the Snow Emperor City is a self-contained realm, and the Ten Thousand Monsters of the Negative Star Demon Palace are worshiping the sky. They are all beautiful sights.
But although these scenery are beautiful, they are like eating a luxurious meal. Once or twice is fine, but eating too much will make you feel tired.
At this time, the mountain scenery where the Shenxiao Sect Mountain Gate is located is like a bowl of clear soup noodles prepared after you have worked hard at socializing. Although it does not have the delicacies of the mountains and seas at the banquet, it is the most soothing and makes you feel better than clear soup noodles. The delicacies at the banquet felt much more delicious.
Zhang Wei nodded, then patted Cong Yun's forehead, instructing him to continue flying towards the mountain gate of Shenxiao Sect.
Ever since Zhang Wei and his team successfully broke through the blockade of the Blue Abyss Sea and returned to the Star Sea Territory with the help of Ying Ning, Zhang Wei explained the situation to the monks from the Snow Country who were stationed in the Star Sea Territory. After receiving the dividends from the Black Sea in the past ten years, they took a group of Everyone headed to Da Qi Immortal Dynasty without stopping.
Because he needed to use the teleportation array of the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty to reach the location of the Shenxiao Sect across an unknown distance of hundreds of millions of miles.
During this period, a very interesting thing happened.
After Zhang Wei and his party arrived at Pinghai City in the Great Qi Immortal Dynasty, King Pinghai, who controlled the local area, suddenly became seriously ill and refused Zhang Wei and others' visit. However, in order to make friends with them, he sent someone to Cultivation resources worth one billion taels of gold allow them to use them with confidence.
This made Zhang Wei feel strange.
After all, a few years ago, he asked Ping Hai Wang Jiang Xinghua to pay tens of billions of taels of gold. Logically speaking, this person should be angry in his heart. Even if he doesn't come forward, it won't be a big deal. If he does come forward, it would be best if we can meet each other and forget the grudges with a smile. good.
But why did you give me one billion taels of gold without showing up?
I have never heard that the dignified Pinghai King is so timid.
Or are you saying that Pinghai Wang has too much money and is burning out?
But Zhang Wei, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't think about it.
Anyway, getting one billion taels of gold is more practical than anything else, so just treat it as Pinghaiwang investing in them in advance.
After being teleported to the capital of the Daqi Immortal Dynasty through the Pinghai City teleportation array, Zhang Wei and his party were temporarily separated.
Because the rest of the journey will be different for everyone.
Chi Lian has been away from Wenxin Sect for so long, even if he has an unknown master, he still needs to return to Wenxin Sect to report.
Qunyao and Yuxianlong need to go to Jiange to participate in the trial. After all, returning to Jiange is their primary goal as disciples of Yulong Mountain.
As for Huaizhu... She originally wanted to join the Shenxiao Sect with Zhang Wei, but she has not practiced the Shenxiao Sect's techniques, and there is no possibility of joining the Shenxiao Sect for further study.
And everyone else has their own way of seeking the Dharma. A "village girl" from a remote place like Huaizhu can't make any progress at all, right?
So Chi Lian compiled a book as a disciple of Wenxin Sect and asked Huaizhu to take it to Shennong Valley to try it out.
Shennong Valley is also one of the seven sects in the East Continent, and it is also a major alchemy sect. Its research on the wood-attributed spiritual root body and pharmacology can be said to be the best in the East Continent and even the entire vast southern continent.
Even if Wenxin Sect had a disciple like Chi Lian, he would not dare to say that his alchemy attainments could surpass those of Shennong Valley in the future.
If you can worship in Shennong Valley, it will be a blessing for Huaizhu!
So even though he was reluctant to give up, for the sake of a better tomorrow, Huaizhu said goodbye to Zhang Wei and resolutely embarked on the teleportation formation to study in Shennong Valley.
As for the other disciples who came from the Five Realms, they naturally found their own families.
So so far, Zhang Wei is accompanied by Cong Yun as a mount, his disciple Zhang Baobao, and...
"See, that's the mountain gate of Shenxiao Sect!"
Ying Ning, who was riding on Zhang Wei's shoulders, pointed into the distance and said.
Zhang Wei looked in the direction Ying Ning pointed.
I saw a large lake suddenly appearing among the vast mountains.
It is said to be a big lake, but in fact, Zhang Wei's spiritual thoughts and eyesight cannot see how many thousands of miles this lake stretches out.
I just feel that this lake is boundless.
It might even be bigger than the entire Five Realms!
The direction Ying Ning was pointing was a triangular cliff protruding from the edge of the lake. The cliff didn't look big, but there were hundreds of black spots of various sizes on the cliff. At the end of the cliff was a three-dimensional mountain. Archstone.
The archway is not gorgeous, it looks like it is made of the most ordinary bluestone carvings.
But after the carving was formed, there was an aura of majesty everywhere, so much so that Zhang Wei felt as nervous as his heart stopped even if he just glanced at it from a distance.
And Ying Ning's reaction was more obvious.
"Hmm..."
Ying Ning's face showed nervousness, and she subconsciously shrank her body, hugged Zhang Wei's head tightly, and whispered: "This stone archway... is very dangerous, don't make trouble here, I feel that if we dare to move rashly, we will be killed instantly, and no one can save us!"
Zhang Wei said helplessly: "I know this, by the way, can you get off me? What will it look like to outsiders?"
Ying Ning refused directly.
"No, I'm afraid of death. Without you as a registered disciple to take care of me, I'm afraid they will treat me as an evil demon. I heard from some monsters in the demon domain that the disciples of Shenxiao Sect are ox-nosed, and their brains are more stubborn than donkeys!"
Zhang Wei: "..."
Just when Cong Yun approached the mountain gate, a gathering place of living beings appeared in the vast mountains below.
Even in the big lake, there are scattered islands, large or small, with living beings living on them.
These living beings are all vassals of Shenxiao Sect.
The Shenxiao Sect also does not prohibit marriages and funerals.
But the descendants of most disciples cannot be directly accepted into the sect.
It is not that the Shenxiao Sect cannot support so many people.
It is just that the sect leaders simply feel that this will make the sect evolve into a power field where major blood families or clans compete with each other.
So even if the people of the Zhengzi Banner of the Shenxiao Sect want to join the sect, unless there are extremely special circumstances, they have to honestly go through a series of tests with others.
But most people do not meet the enrollment requirements of the Shenxiao Sect, and these people are unwilling to leave the Shenxiao Mountains, so they simply multiply and thrive outside the mountain gate, and finally evolve into such gathering areas, becoming vassals of the Shenxiao Sect, while providing fresh blood for the Shenxiao Sect, they are also responsible for entertaining other cultivators who want to join the Shenxiao Sect.
And the residents of these towns are not ordinary people.
They are all immortal cultivators with cultivation!
In other words, this is one immortal city after another!
And because the spiritual energy here is as rich as the cultivation heyday of the Five Realms, ordinary Qi-refining cultivators can build their own foundations even without the essence of heaven and earth, so there are a lot of high-level cultivators here. Even the Negative Star Demon Palace is far inferior to this place!
So, after seeing the situation here, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think of the saying "Mountains are not high, but they are famous if there are immortals."
And just when Zhang Wei came to the gate of the Shenxiao Sect, it was the time for the Qianlong Academy in the nearby Xiancheng to recruit students every ten years.
So along the way, Zhang Wei saw a lot of flying boats.
On the boats, there were mostly several cultivators in the foundation-building realm or the purple mansion realm, and apart from these high-level cultivators, most of the rest were children with small thorns on their heads. When they saw Congyun coming on the clouds, one of them widened his eyes.
"Look, look, there is a Qilin over there!"
A child stretched out his hand, pointed to the sky and shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of the children next to him.
The children were active and had little to do on the boat. When they saw the strange beast, they immediately lost their concentration and looked in the direction of Zhang Wei.
As I said before, Cong Yun's strength may be questionable, but his appearance is absolutely top-notch.
Especially after going through the Demon Palace and refining the Dragon Blood Fruit, his original dragon characteristics are also transforming into a real dragon. Now, at first glance, people who don't know the truth will really think that Cong Yun is a certain species of water Qilin.
"Put your hands down quickly, that's the Golden Core Demon King! Don't offend him!"
On the boat, a cultivator quickly patted the child's hand, and then looked in the direction of Cong Yun with fear and trepidation.
Although he is in the middle stage of foundation building, he is knowledgeable and has seen several Purple Mansion masters, but their aura is not even one-tenth of the "Qilin" in front of him.
It can be seen that this is a legendary demon king!
And there is a loft on its back, which means it is more of a mount!
To use a Golden Core Demon King as a mount, unless the second generation from a big family or a big force is qualified to configure it, otherwise at least a great cultivator in the late Golden Core stage can subdue it with great magic power.
And no matter which one it is, it is not something that a small foundation-building cultivator like me can offend.
"Golden Core..."
The foundation-building cultivator looked at Cong Yun who was gradually going away with envy and thought.
According to legend, if you have the Golden Core cultivation, you can officially join the Shenxiao Sect, and then you can ascend to heaven in one step!
...
On the cliff, Cong Yun slowly landed, and as soon as his huge body arrived, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
After sensing that Cong Yun was actually a Golden Core Demon King, everyone's pupils shrank at the same time.
The Shenxiao Sect recruits disciples every three hundred years.
But these disciples cannot be selected from all the branch sects under its command, otherwise it is easy to form a situation where the family forces the sect to develop backwards.
Therefore, every time the Shenxiao Sect recruits students, it will specially allocate a part of the quota for the casual cultivators.
But even so, there are too many monks and too little porridge.
After all, Shenxiao Sect is one of the seven golden signs of Dongzhou.
Even if there are fewer people practicing thunder magic, the number of cultivators who want to join Shenxiao Sect in the entire Dongzhou and even other regions is like carp crossing the river, and there are not enough places to be divided.
So in the eyes of these "candidates", everyone else is a competitor!
Now that a strong man who can control the Golden Core Demon King as a mount has arrived, these people naturally have ideas.
So at the moment when Cong Yun landed, a handsome young man riding a white crane came to Cong Yun's side.
"Fellow Taoist, are you here to worship the gods?"
The young man's cultivation is in the middle stage of Jindan, which has already exceeded the entry threshold of Shenxiao Sect, and the spiritual crane under his crotch is in the late stage of Zifu, and the aura is self-generated, so it is obviously a different species.
And judging from the fact that he is only over five hundred years old and full of energy and blood, he must be a proud man in their local area.
But even so, when facing Cong Yun, he was still frightened, and even the spirit crane under his crotch was trembling!
But Cong Yun did not embarrass this man, but slowly lowered his head. Only then did the young man see someone sitting on Cong Yun's head.
I saw a handsome and tall young man sitting cross-legged on Cong Yun's head, followed by a young man with dangerous dark circles around his hairline, and a cute little girl on his head.
This combination... is so weird.
"Exactly, I wonder if you are the deacon of the Shenxiao sect responsible for recruiting disciples?" Zhang Wei asked, cupping his hands.
The young man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, if I were a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect, I would already be wearing the Seven Star Clothes. Why would I still be here drinking in the west wind and waiting for the bright moon?"
Then the young man raised his hands and saluted and asked: "I am He Lian Bei. I am a member of the He Lian family in Qingping Mountain. Do you know your surname? Where do you come from?"
Zhang Wei smiled and said: "Zhang Wei, this is my apprentice's treasure, my wife Ying Ning. As for where she comes from... the sect has been destroyed, so don't tell me. You can be regarded as a rogue cultivator without roots."
Hearing Zhang Wei's introduction, He Lianbei looked at the Ying Ning above Zhang Wei's head, and then looked at Zhang Wei with a strange look.
But he didn’t say anything.
After all, the world of immortality is so big, what kind of weird things are there?
Zhang Wei is quite fresh.
He has seen some animal cultivators, and they also like to interact with orangutans... ugh...
But...a rogue cultivator with no roots...still has a family to support.
He probably escaped by chance after his sect was destroyed.
However, such people are often wealthy. After all, having a sect's background is much more comfortable than being a true casual cultivator like them who has to rely on themselves for everything.
He Lianbei looked Zhang Wei up and down, and then asked with a smile: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Zhang. We are destined to meet each other. I also have some experience in talismans. If you want to buy talismans in the future, you can come to me!"
"Definitely..."
Zhang Wei smiled and cupped his hands, as if he couldn't see Helianbei's little thoughts at all.
At this moment, ripples suddenly swayed in the three arched stone archway, which instantly attracted the attention of all the monks present, and all of them stood up in unison.
The next moment, six late-stage Golden Core True Lords wearing seven-star robes, led by an early-stage Nascent Soul True Lord wearing purple clothes, walked out of the void and appeared in front of everyone.
"The deacon is out! Haha, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'll go first!"
He Lianbei said in surprise, then he left Zhang Wei and met the seven deacons of Shenxiao Sect together with others.
Zhang Wei laughed dumbly, but didn't say anything. Instead, he took Ying Ning off his head, told them to be patient, and walked into the crowd alone.
At this time, the leading inner sect disciple in the early stage of Yuanying said: "All of you Taoist friends have traveled thousands of miles to come to our Shenxiao sect, I think it must be to obtain the true scriptures, so I won't say any more nonsense, mainly for everyone. Let me introduce the trial process for recruiting disciples of our Shenxiao sect.
This trial is divided into three levels. One is about life experience, the second is about cultivation, and the third is about state of mind. If you pass all three levels, you can officially become a disciple of my Shenxiao sect!
Next, all fellow Taoists, please find my six junior brothers to register. After registration, you can directly enter the Sanxiao Sect to accept the trial. "
With that said, this Yuanying disciple waved his hand.
Seven tables and chairs appeared in the open space, and he found the innermost table and chair to sit down, making tea as if there was no one around.
The remaining six golden elixir disciples each found a seat and sat down, then took out a jade book and said: "Please don't crowd and line up. If you are not a human race, please go to the special channel on the far left, where there will be a special review. "
Everyone present is a golden elixir realm person.
Although they are more or less arrogant, they also understand the principle of judging the situation. In front of the Shenxiao Sect, their own meager cultivation is nothing at all.
So they lined up the queue very obediently, and some alien creatures who were obviously not human race also obediently walked onto the special passage.
When a real person in the late Jindan period serves as a clerk, the work efficiency is naturally extremely fast. However, Zhang Wei did not line up, but went directly to the early Yuanying monk who was stationed here.
He Lianbei, who was in the team, was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly whispered: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, come back quickly! If you don't line up properly, what are you doing with this senior Yuan Ying?! This is not the little boy from your sect. What a place!”
He was not worried about Zhang Wei, but simply afraid that Zhang Wei would offend the majesty of the Shenxiao Sect and lead to him being implicated.
But Zhang Wei gave He Lian Bei a harmless smile, and then, with He Lian Bei's desperate expression, he walked straight to the Nascent Soul monk of the Shenxiao Sect.
"Um?"
Lou Qingyuan, who was drinking tea, was startled, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Wei and said: "Little friend, I am not responsible for registration here. Go and line up honestly, don't be clever!"
In Lou Qingyuan's view, Zhang Wei is the kind of guy who tries to do something that stands out from the crowd, so as to attract the attention of people like them, and thus enjoy extra attention.
He knows this kind of person.
She seems to be called a little fairy, a common man or something.
It is said that in some small local sects, every time they recruit new disciples, they will meet one or two, which makes the person in charge very annoyed, but he did not expect that he would also meet them.
I don’t know if this kind of person has read too many words and people have become stupid.
However, based on the high quality of the disciples of Shenxiao Sect, Lou Qingyuan still tried to persuade Zhang Wei with good words, hoping that Zhang Wei could find his way back.
However, Zhang Wei took out a token and said: "I, Zhang Wei, was accepted as a registered disciple by senior Zhan Xingzhi of Qingtian Peak. He told me to go to the sect with this token in hand when I come to the sect in the future. Please excuse me, fellow Taoist." Make an announcement."
"Um?!"
loud You are the best among men, you..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt the breath coming from Zhang Wei.
The peak of the middle stage of Nascent Soul... is one level higher than himself.
"Gudong..."
Lou Qingyuan swallowed, then stood up quickly as if there were springs under his buttocks, respectfully moved Zhang Wei to his seat, and said: "Senior brother, please take a seat!"
