Things were simpler than Chen Luo had 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 is Jiang He. He used to be an inner disciple of 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 Qionghua Sect.

Apart from the top Qionghua Seven Ancestors, the rest were the sect's true disciples. The number of true disciples was very small, with the largest number of true disciples in the peak no more than ten, and the position of the least number of true disciples in the main peak was vacant, with no one at all.

The amount of true teachings depends on the ancestor's character.

The number of elders is slightly larger, with about ten elders in each peak, and the largest number of elders in Taiyuan Peak is as many as 20. These elders maintain the operation system of Qionghua Sect, including demon sealing elders, sword washing elders, power transmission elders and guarding elders.

The cultivation level of the elders varies greatly depending on their positions.

Huizong used a regional teleportation array, which was consumed by Yaowang City. After leaving the array, he 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 of them flew on swords, surrounded by mountains beneath their feet. There were dense forests in the mountains, exotic flowers and plants everywhere, and magical birds flew by from time to time. It was like a holy land of immortals.

The Qionghua Sect is composed of seven towering peaks. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and there are golden and jade palaces on top, just like a fairyland. From time to time, people fly through the depths of the clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland.

"After Tianjian Peak is the sect's hinterland. This area is protected by a fourth-order Evergreen Formation. No one dares to cause trouble here."

Elder Jiang He brought Chen Luo down from the air.

Bluestone Town.

There was no town here originally, but later when more people gathered here, a small town was formed. Most of the people in the town are cultivators, and the occasional ordinary people who can't practice cultivation are mostly related to the mountain.

The immortal cultivators guarding here all want to join the Qionghua Sect.

As the top sect in the Tiannan region, the Qionghua Sect opens its gate every ten years. When the gate is opened, all those outside the sect are eligible to climb the mountain and obtain the qualification to join the Qionghua Sect. In this respect, the Qionghua Sect has a much higher standard than the Shenhu Sect, which requires elders to go out and recruit disciples. In the Qionghua Sect, disciples come to the sect on their own. Those with poor qualifications and bad luck do not even have the qualification to climb 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. All the Qionghua Sect disciples who come back from outside will pass through this step. Most of these people are cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm. Occasionally there are some foundation building cultivators, but the number is very small. Most of the disciples who go down the mountain are alone, and the occasional group of people will ignore the people next to them.

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

Elder Jiang He took Chen Luo up a flight of stairs.

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

This method is the most convenient for assessing disciples. Disciples who can go up the mountain through this ladder are not bad in character. This will invisibly improve the overall level of Qionghua Sect disciples.

"The Heart-Searching Stage is a necessary test for entry."

With the guidance of Elder Jiang He, Chen Luo quickly completed the 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."

Arriving at the third peak, Chen Luo felt increasingly desolate. It was different from the scene he had imagined of a group of young men in white clothes and carrying swords practicing sword skills. 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 disciple of Uncle Gu Yue that you mentioned?"

A figure flew down from the sky and stopped in front of the two people. This was a female cultivator wearing a green long skirt, whose cultivation was at the middle stage of foundation building, but the identity token on her waist had the words "True Disciple" written on it, indicating that this woman was a true disciple of Taixu Peak.

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

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

Jun Yao, a true disciple of Taixu Peak, has cultivated to the middle stage of foundation building in a hundred years. He is the pride of Qionghua Sect and is expected to reach the stage of Jindan 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. When they pushed 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 crowed.

"Uncle Huaqing, the person has been brought here."

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

Because this is the residence of the guardian elder.

Chen Luo had already learned on the way here that the elders of Qionghua Sect were divided into four categories: guarding, sealing demons, washing swords, and passing on skills. The number of passing on skills elders was the largest, followed by washing swords elders, and the number of guarding elders was the smallest. There was only one guarding elder on Taixu Peak, and that was the old man in front of him spreading chicken feed.

The town's guardian elder was very old, with a white beard, and looked a little demented. He came to his senses when he heard Jun Yao's voice, and looked Chen Luo up and down with his cloudy old eyes.

"No problem, you can arrange it."

After saying this, the old man withdrew his gaze and went back to feeding the chickens and ducks. He looked like a foolish old man, and his mind was nowhere to be found.

Chen Luo had just observed the chickens and ducks raised by the town elder and found that they were just ordinary chickens and ducks, as evidenced by the chicken and duck manure in the yard.

This person was the first Jindan Zhenren that Chen Luo had met since he went up the mountain. He gave him the feeling that he was stronger than the Sect Master of the Immortal Sect, and it was very likely that he was no longer in the early stage of Jindan. It was hard to imagine that such a powerful Jindan Zhenren would live in such a place.

"yes."

Only after confirmation from the garrison elder did Jun Yao feel relieved.

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

"The Grandmaster is still in retreat, and it will take several months for him to come out. You can practice here, and I will come to find you after the Grandmaster comes out. If there is anything else important, you can tell me with the communication talisman."

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

Chen Luo lived in the thatched hut of the outer disciples. Since it was not yet the time to recruit new disciples, he was the only one in the entire outer disciples' living area.

Several days passed in a flash.

Since Jun Yao left that day, no one has come to see him again. He had expected strict scrutiny and soul testing, but there was none.

The people on the mountain simply forgot about him.

This also indirectly illustrates the confidence of the Qionghua Sect, or more precisely, their confidence in the Seven Ancestors of Qionghua. They do not believe that anyone can deceive the ancestors.

There are very few disciples in Liushan.

The mountain is so cold and quiet that it seems like another world.

Everyone was concentrating on their cultivation. Occasionally, two people were seen sitting on top of a huge rock at the top of the mountain, breathing and practicing. When they looked again, no one knew where they had gone.

Chen Luo was also happy and peaceful.

Before going up the mountain this time, the Lord of Medicine King City gave him a large amount of resources, enough for him to practice for several years.

Qionghua Sect, located in the back mountain of Taixu Peak.

night.

The sky was cloudy and dark.

There was a rugged path among the jagged rocks, all of it gravel. There were weeds on both sides, and the raised gray rocks were like sword blades slanting on the sides. There was a cold wind blowing out from it, making a whimpering sound.

rustle

There was a slight sound as my feet stepped on the gravel.

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

'We're almost there.'

Retracting his spiritual sense, Chen Luo continued to walk forward. He had been at Taixu Peak for half a month, and after making sure that no one cared about him, he began to use the brains of the seniors on the mountain. With the brain of Gu Yue Zhenren, Chen Luo felt that this operation had a great chance of success.

After walking for a while, it became increasingly colder inside. Frost began to fill the air, and the plants on both sides were frozen white. Even in the middle of the night without any moonlight, they could be seen clearly.

Chen Luo stopped and began searching.

'There is a secret door in the southwest.'

Gu Yue Zhenren's brain gave a response. Chen Luo looked over and actually found a tomb.

This cemetery is different from the small tombs in other places. It is a stone chamber dug out on the mountain wall. There are restrictions outside it. Only those who are ready to break through the barrier of death would set up such restrictions.

“It’s true!”

Chen Luo stepped forward on the gravel. The secret door was hidden in the gravel. Chen Luo tried to raise his hand to touch it. As soon as he approached, a faint light appeared, and the restriction outside was triggered. The dark golden restriction threads were connected together, and a wound was cut on the tip of the index finger by the restriction. A thread burst out and hit Chen Luo.

The bone pattern flashed by, and there was a sound of metal clashing.

'Level 3 Gengjin restriction, seals everything inside and outside.'

The brain in the external brain that was familiar with the restrictions quickly emerged.

If it weren't for his body condensed by the Demon Bone Array Pattern, this restriction would definitely have cut his skin and injured him.

"After so many years, this 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 bursting out from sixty spiritual power dragons."

Chen Luo retracted his palm, and the wound on his index finger healed visibly. The Demon Bone Array Pattern Art became more and more powerful as Chen Luo's cultivation level improved. This technique created by Zhu Chungang had extraordinary potential.

'The gravel under your feet is the remaining fragments after the spiritual stones have been exhausted.'

"There are traces of cracks in the rocks, which may be a formation arranged later."

"This stone is quite round, it will be good for laying foundations."

'There is a magical medicine, Youlanhua, 300 meters to the upper right. Youlanhua 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)
