With the dull bells ringing on the Star Peak of Lingjian Mountain, the Lingjian Sect’s once-in-a-decade training event for new disciples officially begins.

All disciples below the foundation building stage were kicked off the mountain by the elders. No matter what the special reason was, whether they were feeling unwell or in a critical period of seclusion, they were treated equally. Moreover, the elders even posted signs on the disciples' bedrooms.

Seals truly leave no way out.

The disciples were either overjoyed, eager to try, or hesitant, but in short, they would have to rely on their own efforts in the next year.

Most people have done enough homework in the one-month preparation period before the event. Although Cangxi Prefecture is only one of the nine states, and it is a relatively remote and poor state, it is still vast compared to a group of minor cultivators in the Qi training period.

Boundless, among which there are hundreds of mortal countries, large and small, among which the larger one is like Gu Yongguo, which has a population of nearly 100 million, accounting for one-twentieth of a state, and the smaller one is like Baiyue Kingdom, which has as many as one million people.

.As for the number of monks, it is about a thousand to one ratio to mortals - of course, most of them are inorganic monks, and the ratio of pure organic monks will be one ten thousandth, which is good.

For these newcomers to the immortal world, the mortal world still has countless wonderful things, and they will only be dazzled after coming down the mountain.

However, the senior brothers and elders of Lingjian Sect's Tiance Hall provide humane services. They have made a training guide manual for each new disciple. It not only displays some common sense that should be acquired during training, but also draws a guidance map.

Listed are recommended locations for experience: such as the Baiyue Kingdom, which had a conflict with the Shengjing Immortal Sect some time ago, and the Desolate Kingdom, where a magic weapon was recently rumored to be born... They are both places where great things happen, but because the matter is not big, it is difficult to attract high-ranking officials.

It is suitable for experienced monks to go and is suitable for newcomers to experience.

One year is not a short time, but it has really started. Counting the time spent traveling back and forth, it means going to two or three places and dealing with two or three things... However, there are thousands of places listed on the guidance map.

It's simply dazzling.

Most of the disciples attach great importance to this map. They have spent less than half of the month analyzing the map and choosing locations... Because after a year, apart from the progress of their respective cultivations, what will be measured is how they see it.

It’s a painful experience report, and the scores reported are scored by people from Tiance Hall, so who dares not to pay attention to the instruction manual produced by Tiance Hall?

Wang Lu dares.

On the day he came down from the mountain, Wang Lu threw the map aside and went straight to Wangjia Village at the northeast corner of Gou'er Mountain in Wuhou County, the eastern province of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, a backwater like Wangjiacun would never be listed on a map. Thousands of suggested locations seemed like a lot, but if you put them in the entire Cangxi Prefecture, it would make a huge difference. Wangjiacun alone was not qualified. Wang Lu could only say this.

The losers in Tiance Hall are simply blind. That in Wangjiacun is the former residence of Wang Lu with ethereal roots, okay!? Tickets will be charged for viewing in the future. Mr. Wang, the richest man in Wangjiacun, is worth millions. When the real estate in Wangjiacun appreciates in the future, he will be renamed Wang Wanwan.

, Wang Yiwan is no exception, you should be respected, okay!?

Tiancetang is blind, but I can't be blind. I only have one year, and I can do some training at any time. I don't have many opportunities to go home. All I need to do is use my imagination to report the magic!

On the way home, Wang Lu was filled with emotions. Two and a half years ago, a wild man from a mountain village bravely ventured into Lingjian Mountain with an inexplicable confidence and several thousand taels of silver. Two and a half years later, a bright star in the world of immortality has emerged.

The new star is rising, how fast the change is! Although the current level of cultivation is not high, and the road to immortality has just begun, but possessing the eighth-grade spiritual treasure-if not mentioning the nine-layer seal, the Spirit Sword Sect's priceless challenge points

Somehow, when it comes to wealth, he is probably not inferior to the ordinary Jindan disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect. At the same time, as a true disciple of the Five Ultimates of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, his future is already bright. Returning home this time can be called a glorious homecoming!

The only regret is... two and a half years ago, there were two people walking along this road to Lingjian Mountain, but when they returned, there was only Wang Lu. Wang Zhong didn't know what he was thinking. He would rather go and wait with Zhu Qin.

They were together, and they didn’t want to go home with Wang Lu for a visit, as if they were an awkward little daughter-in-law... But this did save a lot of trouble. Although I had been sending letters to my family continuously in the past two years, explaining the situation, but it really

It is obviously very difficult for Mr. Wang, who has been diligent, low-key and pragmatic all his life, to accept that the little book boy in his family has embarked on the path to immortality. After meeting, they both felt uncomfortable, so it was better not to meet.

Regardless of this problem, Wang Lu is looking forward to this return home in glory. He has not seen his parents for more than two years, and even a professional adventurer can't help but miss them, and he feels eager in his heart. Different from other immortal cultivators, Wang Lu

Lu didn't think about the different paths between immortals and mortals, or the issues of life, separation, and death. His parents were his parents, so why should he consider whether they were mortals or monks? Even if these parents were brought to him by the magical comet, they were more like adoptive fathers and adoptive mothers.

But how can the thought of nurturing for more than ten years be false? Mr. Wang and his wife Sui Shi are both simple, honest and wonderful people with wisdom in life. In addition to the thought of nurturing for more than ten years, they have also been very happy getting along with each other in life.

I remember my father’s painstaking calculations for a few hundred taels of silver when I was little, and my mother working all night long in the kitchen during the Chinese New Year, making New Year’s goods for the tenants in the family. Even though it’s just an insignificant detail in life, it still has a special flavor.

As for the issue of different paths for immortals and mortals... Now I am only fifteen years old. Although my parents are mortals, they are in good health and have at least thirty years to live. What's more, I can take some miraculous elixirs from Lingjian Mountain to serve as mortals.

It's not difficult to extend your life by a hundred or two hundred years - it's just that a too long lifespan may not be good for ordinary people. In short, there is really no need to worry about things that will happen decades later.

In addition, although Wangjiacun is just a remote mountain village, it is still his hometown where he has lived for more than ten years. There are hundreds of households in the village, and Wang Lu can name every one of them. For example, he regards his father as his old enemy, and he is determined to

Wang Dafu, the neighbor next door who wants to surpass him in wealth but has never been able to do so, or Wang Langzhong, an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in treating various difficult and complicated diseases... is just an ordinary member among the hundreds of millions of people in Jiuzhou Continent.

But in Wang Lu's life of more than ten years, they each played an important role.

The life in the first twelve years was simple and honest. As a professional adventurer, it should be boring. In fact, when Wang Lu left his hometown for Lingjian Mountain two and a half years ago, he did feel the joy of getting rid of his cage, but the experience

After two years of living as a monk, he inevitably missed the comfortable and simple Wangjia Village.

This is because after getting used to playing with Yujie, you will inevitably have a yearning for Lolita.

Although he was thinking wildly all the way, Wang Lu's footsteps were astonishingly fast. Soon after, he walked over the mountains and ridges from Wangjia Village to Wuhou County for two days. It took him ten days to reach Wuhou County by riding on a cart with the carriages and horses in the county.

When we arrived at the foot of Lingjian Mountain, it was thanks to the fact that the Ming Dynasty and Lingjian Mountain were not far apart. When returning home for this trip, Wang Lu walked the entire journey, day and night, and it only took him less than three days to see the familiar outline of Gou'er Mountain.

.

This is the advantage of being a monk. Even if he is only a seventh-level Qi practitioner in the Spirit Sword Sect and is not good at body skills, he will still be a top martial arts master in the mortal world, and he can move faster than a galloping horse.

Just when he reached the foot of Dog'er Mountain, Wang Lu couldn't help but stop.

What should I do next? As this is the first meeting after two and a half years away from home, how should I appear in front of the villagers?

Aloof, putting on the posture of an immortal monk, like an emperor on a tour? Or is he approachable, greeting every villager along the way cordially? This is not a matter of vanity or not, but involves many practical factors. Wang Lu, as a person with high emotional intelligence

Monks, you have to make plans in advance.

However, before he could think of the answer, the sight before him made him frown deeply.

The changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are somewhat abnormal... With the root of emptiness, Wang Lu's keen sense of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth far exceeds that of ordinary monks. Therefore, during the two years of practicing in the sect, he learned a side skill in his spare time:

Qi gazing technique.

There are many factors that affect the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, among which the behavior of living things accounts for the vast majority, especially human beings... Where there are people, the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are far more dramatic and complex than in no-man's land. The so-called Qi-gazing technique, there are

A very important part is explaining how to use the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without inferring what happened locally.

More than two years ago, Wangjia Village was like most remote mountain villages on the Kyushu Continent. The aura of heaven and earth was active but not intense, just like Xiaojia Jasper. The color could not be described, but it was probably light green. However, what comes into view now is stained with...

A withered yellow color. For a more detailed analysis, Wang Lu could not observe it due to his cultivation level, but based on this withered yellow color alone, he could make a preliminary judgment.

There are many possibilities. One is that there has been severe drought for many years and the vitality has withered. But looking at the tree-lined scene of Gou'er Mountain, it doesn't look like it at all!

Or an important person in the village dies, but given the situation in Wangjia Village, even if the village chief or the richest man, Mr. Wang, dies, it will not affect the atmosphere of the mountain so drastically. In addition to Wang Lu and Wang Zhong in Wangjia Village,

These two anomalies, the others are just ordinary people. The structure of the village is simple and stable, and it doesn't matter who is missing.

The last type is where monsters are wreaking havoc and evil spirits are rampant.

Thinking of this, Wang Lu ignored any practical issues, quickened his pace, and ran straight into the mountain as fast as lightning.

After crossing the highest peak of Gou'er Mountain, Wang Lu finally saw Wangjia Village again. The village didn't look much different from two and a half years ago. With his now astonishing eyesight, Wang Lu could clearly see the people who were busy in the village.

In the farmland, you can see the smiles of hard-working and happy farmers, and you can also see the angry but doting women scolding naughty children...but the yellowish air that permeates them makes people look solemn and hard to let go.

After looking at the top of the mountain for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. Wang Lu thought for a while and decided to ask his father directly. He was not in a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, and he was a dignified immortal monk, so why should he be timid?

So he didn't care whether he was pretentious or not, and with the look of someone who traveled day and night, Wang Lu walked into Wangjia Village and went straight to the spacious house in the east of the village - which was his home.

What's strange is that the villagers he met along the way looked at him with strange eyes, as if they were watching an endangered rare animal, with a hint of pity in their curiosity. They even seemed hesitant when saying hello. Wang Lu was enthusiastic several times.

A polite greeting was met with awkward or even cold feedback.

Damn it, what is this? Wang Lu frowned more and more, feeling that the changes in the village seemed to be more difficult than imagined. He had been sending letters home over the years, and although he didn't receive a reply for some reason, at least

The villagers should know the identity of their Xianjia monk... Back then, that idiot Wang Xiaohu defrauded his father of hundreds of thousands of silver and sent it to a ninth-rate organization called the Seven Star Sect, which made the villagers envious of him.

The Five Ultimate True Legends should be like the stars in the sky descending to earth, so what is there to sympathize with? As for the slight hostility, it is even more inexplicable.

Are you hostile to a powerful monk who can level an entire mountain village in half a day? Is this because you have maggots in your head?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a person next to me greet me.

"This, isn't this the child of Wang Fugui's family?"

Wang Fugui is the name of Wang Lu’s father, but since he became the richest man in the village and had contacts with the county officials, he was respectfully called Mr. Wang. Few people mentioned his real name, even the second richest man next door.

Wang Dafu also wanted to address him respectfully as Brother Wang...and there was only one person in the village who addressed him by his first name.

The old village head of Wangjia Village, Wang Qinian.

Wang Lu turned his head, and sure enough, he was the old man with a gray beard and a kind face. In the young man's impression, the old village chief was an out-and-out good man, with a tolerant personality and wisdom, and he was worthy of respect.

Elder, before Wang Lu came down from Lingjian Mountain, he even brought him a souvenir...

"Oh, stay with me."

The old man sighed and waved to Wang Lu. Wang Lu followed him full of doubts and soon arrived at the village chief's house.

"Come in and sit down."

After sitting down in the room, before Wang Lu could say anything, the village chief patted Wang Lu on the head lovingly.

"I haven't seen you in more than two years. You have grown up."

Listening to this kind sentiment, Wang Lu smiled and said, "It's just adolescence."

"It's been more than two years since you went out to work...has it been hard?"

"It's okay, it's not hard work."

"That's good, that's good..." Wang Qinian nodded happily, and then sighed, "A lot of things have happened in the village in the past few years."

Realizing that the topic might be about to get to the point, Wang Lu leaned forward a little and his expression became serious: "I can see that there seems to be evildoers running rampant here.

In Wang Lu's view, this sentence served as a pathfinder. Although it was a bit radical, based on his relationship with the old village chief, it was nothing. The village chief recruited him into his family just to discuss the changes in the village.

Huh? As a dignified Immortal monk, if you don’t go around the topic, you will be in trouble, so it’s better to get straight to the point.

However, this sentence made Wang Qinian's expression change drastically: "You, how dare you say such a thing!? If the gods hear it, what should we do?"

Wang Lu was shocked on the spot: "Where are the gods in Wei? Not to mention that after experiencing a Dharma-ending era more than 6,000 years ago, there has never been a real ascendant... Even in the Dream Age, the existence of the immortal world is just a legend.

.”

Wang Qinian shook his head: "I don't know what Dharma-ending era you are talking about, but... alas, that kid Xiaohu really got it right. You have been deceived too much in the past two years!"

Damn it? What kind of divine expansion is this? Who is Wang Xiaohu? How did he start talking about being deceived? Could it be that he was deceived by a humanoid self-propelled rhythmic drop device named Wang Wu in Lingjian Mountain? You have a question
