Chapter 281 Going up the Mountain

Things were simpler than Chen Luo expected. After seeing the Taixu Sword Seal, the elder of the Qionghua Sect became very cautious. After asking Chen Luo a few questions, he decided to put down the task at hand and take him back to the sect.

The elder's name was Jiang He. He used to be an inner disciple of the Qionghua Sect. Later, he failed in the competition for the true teaching and became an elder. He is currently the sword washing elder at Taixu Peak, and his cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building. Through this elder Jiang, Chen Luo has a clearer understanding of the Qionghua Sect.

Except for the top Qionghua Seven Ancestors, the rest are the sect's true teachings. The number of true teachings is very small. The number of true teachings in the peak with the most people does not exceed ten people, and the position of the true teaching in the main peak with the least people is vacant, with no one.

The number of true teachings depends on the character of the ancestor.

The number of elders is slightly more, with more than ten people in each peak, and the most Taiyuan Peak elders are as many as twenty. These elders maintain the operation system of Qionghua Sect. There are demon sealing elders, sword washing elders, and elders who pass on skills and guard elders.

Depending on their positions, the elders' cultivation levels vary greatly.

The area teleportation array was used to return to the sect, and the consumption was paid by Yaowang City. After leaving the array, they flew for a while. After entering the territory of Qionghua Sect, there were no other forces around, and the area within tens of thousands of miles was the territory of Qionghua Sect.

The two flew on swords, surrounded by mountains under their feet, with dense forests in the mountains, exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and spiritual birds flying from time to time, just like a holy place for immortals.

Qionghua Sect is composed of seven towering peaks. The top of the mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, with golden and jade palaces on it, just like a fairyland. From time to time, people fly swords in the depths of the clouds and mist, just like a fairyland.

"After Tianjian Peak is the hinterland of the sect. This area is guarded by the fourth-level Evergreen Array. No one dares to make trouble here."

Elder Jiang He brought Chen Luo down from the air.

Qingshi Town.

There was no town here originally, but it became a town when more people gathered. Most of the people in the town are immortal cultivators. If you occasionally see ordinary people who can't practice, they are mostly related to the mountain.

The immortal cultivators who stay here are all for joining the Qionghua Sect.

As the top immortal sect in Tiannan, the Qionghua Sect opens the mountain gate every ten years. When the mountain gate is opened, all people outside the gate are qualified to climb the mountain and obtain the qualification to join the Qionghua Sect. In this regard, the Qionghua Sect is much higher than the Shenhu Immortal Sect, which requires elders to go out to collect disciples. In the Qionghua Sect, disciples come to the door by themselves. Those with poor qualifications and bad luck don't even have the qualifications to go up the mountain.

After passing the mountain gate, there are green stone steps behind.

There are 9,999 stone steps, winding up like a long snake. The Qionghua Sect disciples who go out and return will pass this step. Most of these people are immortal cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, and occasionally there are some foundation building cultivators, but the number is very small. Most of the disciples who came down the mountain were alone, and occasionally there were groups of people who ignored the people around them.

This was Chen Luo's first time in Qionghua Sect. Although he had the "Sword Seal Token", he still had to abide by the rules of Qionghua Sect.

Elder Jiang He took Chen Luo to walk up the stairs.

Stepping on it, Chen Luo clearly felt the "heart demon" fluctuations coming from the stone below. It was very weak, but for ordinary Qi Refining Realm disciples, the impact was very large, and they would be led into the illusion if they were not careful.

This method is the most convenient for assessing disciples. Disciples who can go up the mountain through this staircase will not have bad character. In this way, the overall level of Qionghua Sect disciples has been improved invisibly.

"The Questioning Heart Stage is a must-pass assessment for entry."

With the guidance of Elder Jiang He, Chen Luo quickly completed the entry registration. Although the "Sword Seal Token" could not allow Chen Luo to cross the rules, it could help him save time. Others needed a specific time, ten days or half a month to participate in the assessment, but he finished it in half a day.

"The third peak is Taixu Peak."

When Chen Luo arrived at the third peak, he felt more and more desolate. Unlike the scene he imagined of a group of young men in white clothes carrying swords and practicing swords, the entire Taixu Peak was very desolate. Not to mention people, there were not even two buildings to be seen.

"Elder Jiang He, is this person the direct disciple of Uncle Gu Yue that you mentioned?"

A figure flew down from the sky and stopped in front of the two of them. This was a female cultivator in a green long skirt. Her cultivation level was the middle stage of foundation building, but the identity token on her waist was written with the words "True Transmission", indicating that this woman was a true disciple of Taixu Peak.

"The Lord of Medicine King City has confirmed this person's identity, and it needs to be reported to the ancestor for confirmation."

Jiang He nodded and introduced the identity of the visitor to Chen Luo.

Jun Yao, a true disciple of Taixu Peak. He cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building in a hundred years. He is a genius of Qionghua Sect and is expected to impact the formation of Dan within a hundred years.

"Come with me."

Jun Yao led Chen Luo to a secluded courtyard with three thatched houses and some chickens and ducks at the door. It looked like a small farmyard, not like a large sect. Pushing open the bamboo gate, two chickens were startled and flew to the side with their wings flapping. A big rooster stood on a stone pier and called.

"Uncle Huaqing, the people have been brought here."

Jun Yao did not go in, but stopped at the door and said respectfully to the inside. This attitude was completely different from when he faced Elder Jiang He.

Because this is the residence of the guardian elder.

Chen Luo had already learned about it when he came here on the way. The elders of the Qionghua sect are divided into four categories: guarding, sealing demons, cleaning swords and teaching skills. The number of elders who teach the power is the largest, followed by the elders who wash the sword, and the number of guardian elders is the smallest. There is only one guardian elder on Taixu Peak, and he is the old man spreading chicken feed in front of him.

The guard elder was very old, with a gray beard, and he still looked a little demented. He came back to his senses only after hearing Jun Yao's voice, and looked Chen Luo up and down with his cloudy old eyes.

"No problem, just look at the arrangements."

After saying a word, the old man withdrew his gaze and started feeding the chickens and ducks again. His expression was like that of a foolish old man, whose thoughts were flying to nowhere.

Chen Luo had just observed that the chickens and ducks raised by the guard elder were really ordinary chickens and ducks, as evidenced by the chicken and duck droppings in the yard.

This person can be regarded as the first Danjie master that Chen Luo came into contact with after he went up the mountain. This person gave him a stronger feeling than the Immortal Sect Master, and it was very likely that he was no longer in the early stage of pill formation. It is hard to imagine that such a powerful Master Jiedan would live in such a place.

"yes."

After being confirmed by the guarding elder, Jun Yao felt relieved.

She took Chen Luo back to Qianshan and arranged a place for Chen Luo to live where the outer disciples lived. Chen Luo's current identity has not been recognized by the ancestor, so he can only live in this place.

"The Patriarch is still in seclusion, and it will take several months before he comes out. You can practice here, and I will come to find you when the Patriarch comes out of seclusion. If you have anything else important, you can tell me with the messenger talisman."

Jun Yao gave a few reminders and some precautions on the mountain, then turned and left.

Chen Luo lived in the thatched house of the outer disciples. Because it was not yet time to accept disciples, he was the only one in the entire outer disciples' living area.

A few days passed by.

Since Jun Yao left that day, no one has come to see him again. There was neither the strict scrutiny nor the soul temptation that he expected.

The people on the mountain simply forgot about him.

This also indirectly illustrates the Qionghua Sect's confidence. To be precise, it is their confidence in the Qionghua Seventh Patriarch. They do not believe that anyone can deceive the Patriarch.

There are very few remaining disciples.

The coldness on the mountain is like another world.

Everyone is practicing with concentration. Occasionally, I see two people sitting on the top of a huge rock on the mountain, breathing and practicing. When I look at it again, I don’t know where they have gone.

Chen Luo was also happy to be pure.

Before going up the mountain this time, Lord Yao Wang gave him a lot of resources, enough for him to practice for several years.

Qionghua Sect, the mountain behind Taixu Peak.

night.

The sky was cloudy and dark.

There is a rugged path among the rugged rocks, and the road is full of gravel. There were overgrown weeds on both sides, and the protruding gray rocks were inserted diagonally on the sides like sword blades. Cold wind kept blowing out from inside, making a 'whimpering' sound.

rustle

The feet made a slight sound on the gravel.

Chen Luo, dressed in a black robe, walked against the night wind, his long hair flying, and his black robe rustled in the night wind.

'Coming. ’

Withdrawing his consciousness, Chen Luo continued walking forward. He stayed peacefully on Taixu Peak for half a month, and after confirming that no one really cared about him, he started to use the brains of the seniors on the mountain. With Gu Yue's brains at his side, Chen Luo felt that this vote had a high chance of success.

After walking for a while, it became increasingly cold inside. The air began to be mixed with frost, and the plants on both sides were frozen to a frosty white color. Even in the middle of the night without moonlight, you could see clearly.

Chen Luo stopped and started searching.

‘There is a secret door to the southwest. ’

Master Gu Yue's brain gave a feedback. Chen Luo looked over and found a tomb.

This cemetery is different from the small tombs in other places. It is a stone chamber dug out of the mountain wall. There are also restrictions on the outside. Only those who want to escape the death barrier would place such restrictions.

"It really does!"

Chen Luo stepped forward on the gravel. The secret door was hidden among the rubble. Chen Luo tried to touch it with his hand. As soon as he got closer, a layer of light lit up, and the restriction outside was triggered. The dark golden forbidden threads were connected together, and a cut was made on the tip of the index finger due to the restraint. A thread shot out and hit Chen Luo.

The bone pattern flashed past, making a sound of gold and iron clashing.

‘The third-level Gengjin ban is sealed inside and outside. ’

Among the external brains, the brain familiar with the restriction quickly emerged.

If it weren't for the physical body condensed by the Demonic Bone Formation Technique just now, this restriction would definitely cut through his skin and injure him.

"After so many years, this level of restriction has not lost its effect." Chen Luo did his homework before coming here. In order to assist him, the Lord of Yaowang City gave him a lot of information about Taixu Peak.

The approximate location of the cemetery is one of them.

"It's equivalent to the sword energy erupted by sixty spiritual dragons."

Chen Luo retracted his palm, and the wound on his index finger recovered visibly. As Chen Luo's cultivation level improved, the Demonic Bone Formation Technique became more and more powerful. This technique created by Zhu Chungang has extraordinary potential.

‘The sand and gravel under your feet are the remaining fragments after the spiritual stones are exhausted. ’

‘There are traces in the cracks in the stone, and it is suspected that the formation was arranged the day after tomorrow. ’

‘This stone is quite round, so it would definitely be good for laying a foundation. ’

‘There is an elixir, Orchid, three hundred meters above and to the right, which can be refined’

The external brain was turned on, and nearly a hundred thoughts emerged. Different perspectives showed different worlds, allowing Chen Luo to find the opening position of the secret door in front of him in an instant. (End of this chapter)
