Chapter 514: Traveling together, with different thoughts
After hearing this crisp voice, Li Yi slowly turned his head. Behind him appeared five cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. Among these cultivators, there were five people in total, three men and two women.
The one walking in front was a handsome young man holding a folding fan. The young man had a sense of elegance. His cultivation had reached the twelfth level of the Qi Refining Stage and was about to enter the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Next to the young man was a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. It was this person who had just spoken. The girl had a pair of big, watery eyes and looked at Li Yi with a smile, giving people a very playful feeling. The girl's cultivation was weaker, only at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
Behind these two people was a Taoist priest in a black Taoist robe, with a bronze long sword on his back, and a Taoist nun in a white robe, holding a whisk in her hand. The last one was a fat bald man with a smile on his face and a small golden iron pestle on his back.
It's just that the cultivation of these three people is relatively high, all of them seem to be at the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Stage, but these three people give Li Yi a very strange feeling, as if they have hidden their cultivation. However, Li Yi is not sure. In front of everyone, Li Yi did not use the Yin-Yang Divine Pupil to check, but Li Yi just felt that it was very unusual and looked at them deeply.
Looking at the strange dress of the group of people, Li Yi had some doubts in his heart, but still smiled and said: "Yes, I am Li Yi, a casual cultivator, and I am indeed going to participate in the entry test of the Wanxiang Sect. Are you also going to participate in the test? I don't know what your names are."
"It turns out to be Brother Li, my name is Murong Xian, and this is my brother Murong Yan. The other three are Taoist Qingmu, He Xiangu, and Master Kuzhi, who are also going to participate in the entry test. We are all casual cultivators. Let's go together. In this way, we won't be bored on the road and we can have a companion." The girl named Murong Xian looked at Li Yi expectantly, waiting for Li Yi's answer.
After hearing what the girl said, Li Yi thought about it and did not refuse. Following these people to participate in the assessment together would also distract some people's attention and not be very conspicuous, so he said: "Okay then! Thank you, Fairy Murong."
After seeing Li Yi agreed, everyone came up to greet him enthusiastically. Li Yi then realized that these people also came together halfway, walked together all the way, and repelled many cultivators who caught their attention. Li Yi did not need to ask anything at all. Murong Xian told all their previous things like a bamboo tube pouring beans, which made Li Yi stunned.
At this time, Murong Yan, who was walking in front, had already black lines on her face and said: "Xian'er, can't you say less? Since Li Daoyou walked with us, you haven't said a word, and you have been talking all the time."
For Murong Xian, this girl who talks a lot, the three people behind have long been accustomed to it, but they all look helpless and shake their heads in silence.
"Don't blame me, Fellow Daoist Li. Xian'er is like this. She usually talks a lot. I wonder where did you practice before!" Murong Yan closed the folding fan in her hand and asked Li Yi with a smile.
"Oh, I'm just a casual cultivator. I don't have a fixed place to practice. I've been wandering between various markets. I make some elixirs for others in exchange for some cultivation resources." Li Yi said lightly.
Then, Li Yi's heart moved and said: "I see that Brother Murong and Fellow Daoist Qingmu have quite high cultivation levels and are almost at the foundation-building stage. I think they should not be casual cultivators, so simple!"
After Li Yi finished speaking, his mind was firmly locked on the other three people. As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, he felt the heartbeats of Taoist Qingmu and others, which obviously accelerated a lot. Li Yi sneered in his heart. These three guys are indeed extraordinary. It seems that they came here for other purposes.
However, the Murong siblings did not change at all. At this time, Murong Xian was about to speak, but was glared back by Murong Yan. Murong Xian stuck out her tongue and had to shut up obediently, smiling awkwardly at Li Yi. As for the three Taoists Qingmu, they seemed to have not heard this, looking calm and smiling at Li Yi and the others.
"Daoyou Li, you are wrong. Xian'er and I used to be from a small family of immortal cultivators, but later our family fell into decline. There were only two immortal cultivators, Xian'er and I, so we had to come out to find the opportunity to build our foundation. We encountered the Wanxiang Sect recruiting disciples, so we came here to try our luck." Murong Yan said with a somewhat gloomy look.
After hearing Murong Yan's words, before Li Yi said anything, the monk Kuzhi on the side said with a smile: "He Xiangu, Qingmu and I have been friends for many years. We know some tricks of making talismans and refining tools, and we can barely survive in the world of immortal cultivation. We can't compare with Li Daoyou who can refine pills.
But if you want to build a foundation, you can only find a big sect to join, and then see if there is any chance to make great contributions and get one or two foundation-building pills. I am sorry to the fellow Taoists, this is our third time to come to the Wanxiang Sect, but I don't know if we can join this time."
Although the monk Kuzhi said this, his tone was full of sadness, and he interpreted the hardship and sadness of the lower-level cultivators vividly. The other Taoists Qingmu and He Xiangu also looked sympathetic.
While the monk was talking, Li Yi also had a sad look on his face, but he was sighing in his heart that this monk was really good at acting. It was a pity that he was not an actor, because just now, Li Yi found that these guys were secretly transmitting sounds, and Li Yi used his powerful divine thoughts to eavesdrop on part of it.
These guys seemed to join the Wanxiang Sect for some treasure, but Li Yi didn't hear what the specific treasure was. He didn't know the depth of these people's cultivation, so Li Yi didn't dare to continue eavesdropping. If he was discovered by the other party, it would cause some complications for his plan to join the Wanxiang Sect.
In addition to the three Taoist priests Qingmu, the cultivation of Murong's brother and sister is also very unusual. Although they are in the Qi Refining Stage, their cultivation methods should be very simple. When Li Yi used his divine sense to explore, he found that the mana in the other party's body was extremely pure and profound, much stronger than the average Qi Refining late cultivator. It seems that these two brothers and sisters also have a big secret. Entering Wanxiang Sect may not be as simple as it seems.
Li Yi secretly decided that after entering Wanxiang Sect, he would stay away from these people, so as not to be implicated by them and affect his plan to condense his Nascent Soul.
After each of them introduced their own situation, everyone seemed to be a wanderer in the world, and their feelings seemed to be close. They soon walked to the mountain gate of Wanxiang Sect.
At this time, hundreds of cultivators had appeared in front of the mountain gate. Looking at the dark crowd, Li Yi sighed in his heart. With so many people participating, I don’t know when the entrance examination will end.
