Chapter 46: Outer Mountain
The mountain outside Mingxin Mountain is extremely huge, more than 800 feet high. Looking upward, it seems to pierce the sky. On the mountainside, there are thousands of courtyards of different sizes scattered at different heights. Even at the bottom of the lowest mountain, there are some scattered courtyards.
Liu Dian urged Ling Yun and led Xu Disheng and the others to slowly land at the foot of the huge outer mountain, in front of a slightly larger courtyard.
The courtyard is the Outer Mountain Miscellaneous Affairs Office. Several miscellaneous disciples came forward when they saw Liu Dian leaving Lingyun.
Liu Dian turned around and said, "Show them the identity jade tag."
Xu Disheng and the other two took out the jade tokens, and one of the chore disciples took it and took a look at it, then said: "The new disciples who have joined Waishan are assigned to the courtyard, Xu Disheng No. 3763, Chu Qing'er No. 2783," from He threw two jade slips out of his arms and continued, "These are the jade slips that are the key to unlocking the formation in the courtyard. Don't lose them."
Each courtyard is covered by a miniature formation that integrates functions such as gathering spirits, protection, communication, and taking photos. Although every aspect is the lowest, it is comprehensive and nothing is missed. Only the outer disciples are like this, which shows that the Holy Sect has a profound foundation.
Xu Disheng took the key jade slip and saw that Liu Dian had already climbed into Lingyun and left. He shook his head and said to the chore disciple from outside the mountain in front of him: "This senior brother, dare I ask where the courtyard No. 3763 is?" ?”
The chore disciple raised his eyebrows and said: "The records show that you are a sixth-level spiritual root, and the courtyard assigned to you is good. It is located halfway up the mountain, about 500 feet away from the foot of the mountain, but it is difficult to climb. "After saying that, he pointed to the foot of the mountain. An extremely steep mountain road was winding up. It was obviously just a hastily carved out path, but it was the only way up the mountain. There was no one on the mountain road.
Xu Disheng raised his head and glanced at the towering peak. He estimated his own distance. It would take at least seven days to reach the mountainside from this road. Then he asked, "Besides walking on this mountain road, are there other ways to do it?" How to go up the mountain?"
Just as the chore disciple was about to speak, a round-faced young man next to him came over, glanced at Xu Disheng, and interjected with a smile: "This junior brother has just arrived, right? Take my Lingyun up, and in just one stick of incense, he will You were sent safely and smoothly to the middle of the mountain, with only a spiritual stone. Look at how steep the mountain road is. If you want to climb to the middle of the mountain, which is more than 400 feet high, I am afraid that even if you climb for a few days, junior brother, you will not be able to climb. If you can’t get there, you will suffer in vain.”
The chore disciple did not interrupt when he saw this. He shook his head and handed Xu
Disheng and Chu Qing'er each had a small jade vase, then turned and walked into the courtyard.
The round-faced young man looked around. Several disciples who were "waiting for life" had already looked this way. At this time, they were slowly approaching this way. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and said: "Junior brother, the two of you, together Give me a half-spiritual stone, and I will be a good person today! Come up here."
Xu Disheng glanced around and felt relieved, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, senior brother, but I still want to see the scenery at the foot of the mountain."
Chu Qing'er couldn't wait any longer and said, "Senior brother, please take us up. I want to go to Courtyard No. 2783."
The round-faced young man looked slightly happy and said: "Junior sister, it's 2783, right? I guarantee it will arrive with just one stick of incense, but the price of the dish... needs to be paid first." After saying this, he rubbed his fingers and looked at Chu Qing'er. .
In addition to the thirty spiritual stones given to Li Daoming, Chu Qing'er should still have the spiritual stones given by Emperor Chu, so she spent them unambiguously and casually took the two pieces of spiritual stones she had just received from the Shanwu Peak Personnel Hall. Throwing out the spiritual stone, he turned to Xu Disheng and smiled: "Xu Disheng, are you coming with me? I'll pay the fee for you."
Seeing how generous Chu Qing'er was, the round-faced young man smiled broadly and said, "Junior sister, you two come up quickly, we're going to set off now."
Several people nearby had already walked over. When they saw the round-faced young man holding two spiritual stones in his hands, some of them became red-eyed and immediately exposed it: "Liu Santu, you are so shameless, deceiving the junior brothers and sisters who are new to the mountain like this!"
"Junior sister, sit on my Lingyun, you two only need one Lingshi!"
"Liu Santu had some bad luck today. He got two spiritual stones in just a short time!"
The round-faced young man Liu Santu looked a little unnatural. He turned around and smiled at Chu Qing'er: "Junior sister, don't pay attention to them. Several senior brothers are playing tricks with you. Let's leave quickly." This was purely to deceive the two of them into thinking they were fools. .
Chu Qing'er didn't look like a fool, but she ignored those people at the moment. She just looked at Xu Disheng and said, "Xu Disheng, can you leave? If not, I will leave." After saying that, she got into Liu Santu's house. Lingyun, obviously too lazy to change Lingyun's ride.
Xu Disheng looked at the pretty girl standing on Lingyun, pondered for a moment, then climbed up to Lingyun and said: "Thank you." He was also a little confused. Chu Qing'er didn't communicate with him much on the way, but now she He casually took out two spiritual stones for climbing up the mountain. He thought Emperor Chu had given him a lot of spiritual stones.
Most of it is not his own, Xu Disheng still has to accept this favor.
Having just received the three spiritual stones, Xu Disheng has already felt the pure spiritual energy on them. If he holds them in his palms and practices, the effect will be comparable to the spirit gathering array in Emperor Chu's Qianxin Palace. Stone, every piece is extremely precious!
Liu Santu glanced at the disciples with some pride, and urged the spiritual cloud to rise straight up, heading towards the height of the huge mountain.
As the spirit cloud slowly rose into the sky and the scenery passed by, Chu Qing'er took a look at the winding and steep mountain road. There was no one on it, and then looked at the small jade bottle in her hand. It was given by the chore disciple just now. He opened his mouth and asked: "Brother, what is this jade bottle used for? The mountain road is steep, how can those disciples without spiritual stones go up and down the mountain? Can they only take this dangerous mountain road?"
Liu Santu turned around and said with a smile: "I guess the disciples from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department forgot to tell you two that this jade bottle contains Bigu Pill. Every time you take one pill, you can go without eating or drinking for half a year. Once you enter the Qi Sea Realm, you will There is no need to take this bigu pill, the Jianggong Qi sea in the body can form a cycle on its own, and you can just eat wind and drink dew, just take it easy."
After saying that, he also glanced at the dangerous mountain road, and then said: "Disciples from outside the mountain, what are you doing down the mountain in your free time? If you don't enter the mountain, it doesn't count as a formal entry, and you don't need to do sect tasks. You only need to receive it for one year in advance. If you don’t have enough spiritual stone resources, you can just practice hard on the mountain. Occasionally, if you have to go down the mountain to choose exercises and other things, you won’t be stingy about spending half a spiritual stone to ride on the spiritual cloud. You just have to be careful not to violate the sect’s rules, otherwise the punishment will be very severe.” Unconsciously, it was revealed that the "market" going up and down the mountain was half a spiritual stone.
Chu Qing'er didn't pay attention to these details and said in surprise: "Can I receive one year's training resources in advance?"
Liu Santu said: "Yes, otherwise it will be a problem for those disciples to go up and down the mountain. There will be very few who really take that mountain road."
Disciples below the Qi Sea realm only have one spiritual stone resource share per month, and the lowest spiritual weapon, the spiritual cloud, requires more than ten spiritual stones. Moreover, if you buy a Lingyun with a year's overdraft of Lingshi, it will be convenient to go up and down the mountain. However, without the Lingshi, your cultivation speed will drop dozens of times. This is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the egg.
Except for those who are wealthy, most of the new disciples received a year's worth of spiritual stones in advance, and then practiced hard on the mountains outside without coming down easily.
Liu Dian didn't tell them about this, and he didn't know if it was intentional. He just received the first month's spiritual stones for the two of them.
