Chapter 161 Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division, Little Penglai in the Clouds

After Lu Chen's trial ended, none of the remaining trial-takers could pass the third level of the walking trial.

Therefore, among the seven trial-takers in the third level.

In the end, only Zuo Qiuzi, Mu Xiaoye and Lu Chen passed the trial and became trainee walkers of the Shanhai Division.

Three out of seven people passed, which seems a high ratio.

But in reality, in the walking trials of previous years, only one or two could pass at a time.

Sometimes there isn't even one person who can get through.

Therefore, three people were able to pass the walking trial in one go, which was the most in Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division in the past ten years.

However, in previous years, many people would complain after stopping at the last level.

But this year's trial participants had no complaints about their failure.

After all, they saw with their own eyes the levels of the three people who were able to pass the trial.

In terms of the strength displayed by Lu Chen and the other two, none of them could match them.

It's normal to fail the assessment! Food is food, there's nothing to say.

Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division, in the office of the Chief Eunuch.

"Here, this is your Shanhaisi travel permit, take it."

Lu Chen took the so-called "traveling license" from Zhong Yaojun and immediately looked at it curiously.

Because before this, he thought that this so-called "traveling license" should be something like an ID card.

But in fact, the real walking license is a strange little parchment scroll.

In other words, it is a special object similar to a parchment scroll.

Perhaps noticing the confusion of Lu Chen and the others, Zhong Yaojun in the room immediately began to explain.

“In fact, the so-called walking license is just a blank painting of mountains and seas.”

"When you obtain your own mountain and sea beasts in the future, the mountain and sea beasts you contracted will temporarily reside in this mountain and sea painting scroll and can be summoned at any time."

"In addition, this mountain and sea painting scroll has a similar ability to the small cave, which can pull the enemy into the subspace."

"In this way, you can not only restrict the enemy, but also ensure that ordinary people will not be affected when carrying out the mission."

"But it's not easy to pull the enemy into the subspace. This requires you to have the strength above the foundation-building stage, master the use of divine thoughts, and be able to lock the soul before you can use it."

"This is also the reason why most of those who walk in the mountains and seas are in the foundation-building stage."

After hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood the purpose of this "walking license".

In principle, the relationship between this mountain and sea scroll and the strange beasts of the mountains and seas is similar to the relationship between the Poké Ball and Pokémon in his previous life.

In addition to these, this mountain and sea painting scroll can also be used as a special space magic weapon.

In the past, Lu Chen suffered a loss at the hands of Bai Ling because of this mountain and sea painting scroll.

At that time, he was only in the Qi training stage and had no idea about the spiritual methods of the foundation-building stage.

So without knowing it, he was directly pulled into the subspace of the mountain and sea scroll by Bailing.

If Lu Chen and Bai Ling were to fight again, he would be 100% sure that he could make her feel what it felt like to be defeated.

After explaining the function of the "walking license" to Lu Chen and others, Zhong Yaojun immediately talked to the three of them about some of the benefits of becoming a mountain and sea walker.

"Student Zuo is a student of Shangqing Taoist Academy. Your academy's instructor should have told you about the benefits of becoming a mountain and sea walker, so I don't need to explain it to you in detail."

"But classmate Lu and classmate Mu are only senior high school students in Luocheng. They probably don't know what special benefits they can get after becoming mountain and sea walkers, so I will take some time to talk to them."

Hearing Zhong Yaojun's words, Zuo Qiuzi looked at Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye in surprise.

You know, although she thought Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were too young before, she never thought that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were just high school students.

You have to know that the cultivation resources that high school students can access are completely different from the cultivation resources that can be accessed in the Taoist temple.

One year of practice in the Taoist temple is equivalent to ten years of practice in other places.

Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were able to achieve their current strength before entering the Taoist Academy.

Zuo Qiuzi didn’t even dare to imagine how terrifyingly their strength would increase after they entered the Taoist temple.

Are high school students this scary these days? Compared to these two, how come I, a junior student at Shangqing Taoist Academy, look like a waste...

Zhong Yaojun didn't pay attention to Zuo Qiuzi's sad expression, and immediately talked to Lu Chen about the conveniences they could get after becoming able to travel mountains and seas.

"Generally speaking, the benefits of becoming a mountain and sea walker can be divided into two categories. One category is for adult cultivators like Yangyang and Xiao Leizi who have already graduated from the Taoist Academy."

"In addition to receiving a fixed amount of Immortal Alliance Spirit Coins as salary every month, they can also redeem various natural treasures, time to use special blessed lands, or magic weapons and instruments from our company based on their contribution points."

"These natural treasures, magic weapons and magical instruments are not only rare and top-quality items on the market, but their prices are also generally about 30% cheaper than those on the market."

"In addition, no matter where our company goes, we have the right to command the immortal alliance monks in various places to help carry out tasks, and we can freely enter and exit some places controlled by the immortal alliance, such as some secret caves managed by the immortal alliance, or the four forbidden areas outside the immortal alliance."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked curiously: "Master Zhong, what are these four forbidden areas?"

Zhong Yaojun was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Lu Chen had not yet entered the Taoist temple, so he did not know the existence of these four forbidden areas.

Thinking of this, Zhong Yaojun immediately explained: "The so-called four forbidden areas are actually four places that non-cultivators are not allowed to enter."

"Because these places are not only home to a large number of alien races, spiritual beasts, ferocious beasts, demons, ghosts, etc., but also have a unique geographical environment. Even for cultivators, they are extremely dangerous places."

"Take the forbidden area of ​​Mahakala in the south as an example. In Mahakala there lives a race called Jiuyou. Their members are all kinds of strange, and some of them are comparable to Jindan-stage cultivators."

"When the four major academies in the Immortal Alliance chose their locations, one of their purposes was to suppress these forbidden areas."

"After all, in a sense, the Dao Academy is the most powerful cultivator force in the Immortal Alliance besides our company and other sects."

"If it weren't for the suppression by the Dao Academy, these forbidden areas might have already spread to the interior of Jiuzhou, affecting the normal lives of the people of the Immortal Alliance."

"But as the saying goes, with good fortune comes misfortune. Although these forbidden areas are dangerous, they also contain many treasures."

"Some special natural treasures can only be found in these forbidden areas."

"The four academies are able to have their current transcendent status, of course, because of the powerful inheritance they possess, but it is also related to the forbidden areas outside the boundaries where they are located."

"After all, some of the special cultivation resources were brought out from the forbidden areas by the four major academies. They are treasures that belong exclusively to them."

"Otherwise, why do you think so many sects are willing to send their disciples to the four major academies?"

"What they are looking at are the special cultivation resources in the Taoist temple."

"The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain of Shangqing Taoist Academy, the Nine Netherworld Fire of Lihuo Taoist Academy, the Sun and Moon Forest of Xuanshui Taoist Academy, and the Great Wilderness Tower of Manhuang Taoist Academy, these are the reasons why the four Taoist academies are different from other Taoist academies."

"And these special cultivation resources are all related to the four forbidden areas outside the Immortal Alliance."

"But even for students from the four major academies, it is not easy to enter the forbidden area."

"Basically speaking, unless there is a Taoist academy mentor leading the team, or if you have obtained the qualifications to walk in the Mountain and Sea Division."

"Otherwise, ordinary Taoist students are not allowed to enter the four forbidden areas privately."

After hearing this, Lu Chen almost understood.

He looked at Zhong Yaojun and said, "So this travel permit is essentially also a pass to a restricted area?"

Zhong Yaojun nodded and said, "Well, there is nothing wrong with your understanding."

"I have talked so much about the benefits of the Shanhai Division. Next, I will also talk about the obligations of becoming a Shanhai Walker."

"Because among the three of you, one is a student of the Taoist Academy, and the other two are students of the Quasi-Taoist Academy, so some of the normal obligations required for traveling in the mountains and seas will not fall on you for the time being."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Normally, after every mountain and sea walker obtains his own mountain and sea beast, he needs to serve in the designated mountain and sea division within the specified time, and then complete the designated mountain and sea division tasks every year."

“But for students who can become mountain and sea walkers during their time at the Taoist Academy, you don’t have these requirements for the time being.”

"Because at this stage of the mountain and sea journey, you are only following orders from the academy, and all tasks will be assigned to you in the form of credit assessments."

"Take Ms. Zuo as an example. She is a student of Shangqing Taoist Academy, so she will only receive tasks from Shangqing Taoist Academy. After completing the tasks, in addition to the normal contribution points from our company as rewards, she can also receive credits from the Taoist Academy as rewards."

"Student Zuo should know best how important credits are to students at the Daoist Academy."

Zuo Qiuzi nodded and said, "In our academy, credits can not only be used for cultivation, but also determine whether we can successfully upgrade. If we fail to get enough credits three times and are held back, we will be expelled from the academy."

"It's because I don't have enough credits that I want to take the mountain and sea walking test."

"After all, if you only complete the normal learning tasks in the academy, the credits you can get are not many. It can barely meet the needs of daily practice, and it is difficult to make further progress."

"So no matter which academy students are from, they will try their best to become mountain and sea walkers before their senior year."

"Because only in this way can we be sure to obtain enough credits to graduate from the academy."

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked, "So if you don't become a mountain and sea walker, it will be easy to accumulate insufficient credits for graduation?"

Zuo Qiuzi thought for a moment and said, "That's not true. If you just want basic training resources and graduate successfully, then completing the basic learning tasks of the academy is enough."

"But the credits you get this way are very limited. You have to be thrifty and use the extra credits carefully after leaving enough credits for upgrading."

"But it's different to become a Mountain and Sea Walker. Even if we only complete one mission from the Mountain and Sea Division a year, the credits we get are enough for us to accumulate the credits needed to upgrade while practicing in the Taoist temple."

“Therefore, any student who has certain aspirations for his or her future will definitely find a way to pass the Mountain and Sea Division’s walking assessment, not to mention that after becoming a walking person, one can also gain special powers such as mountain and sea beasts.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood why so many students from the four major academies wanted to become walkers of the Shanhai Division.

In a sense, the Taoist Academy and the Shanhai Division are also using this method to allow Taoist students to give their strength back to the Immortal Alliance.

But Lu Chen didn't know what he was thinking about, and wondered: "Since the Taoist students attach so much importance to the Mountain and Sea Walk, why didn't I see too many students from the Shangqing Taoist Academy in this trial?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zuo Qiuzi looked embarrassed.

Zhong Yaojun on the side laughed and explained: "Of course, this is because there are actually walking trials inside the Taoist Academy!"

"Student Zuo probably failed to pass the internal assessment of the academy, so he took advantage of the winter break to try his luck in our Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division."

"In fact, situations like hers are not uncommon. After all, in addition to our Linjiang City, there are two other cities in the entire Qingzhou that are also qualified to hold walking trials."

"Among them, the place most Taoist students go to is the city where Shangqing Taoist Academy is located... Prison Dragon City."

Zuo Qiuzi nodded and said, "Yes, most of my classmates actually choose to try the second walking trial in Prison Dragon City during the winter vacation. I only participate in the walking trial here because my home is in Linjiang."

After hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood.

Seeing that the matter had almost been discussed, Zhong Yaojun immediately talked about the last thing.

"Okay, I've almost finished talking about the benefits and obligations of the Shanhai Division."

"After Lu and Mu go to the Taoist Academy, the Taoist Academy instructors will naturally arrange some tasks for you from the Shanhai Division based on your situations."

"The last thing I want to tell you right now is the most important thing about becoming a mountain and sea walker... the choice of mountain and sea beasts."

Hearing this, Lu Chen and others immediately became serious.

Because this is a big part of the reason why they became mountain and sea travelers.

"You should have known about the relationship between our company and the mountain and sea beasts through other channels, so I won't waste my words on this."

"Right now, I will mainly tell you about the situation of obtaining the strange beasts from the mountains and seas."

"The mountain and sea beasts of our company are divided into Four Imperials, Five Elders, Six Officials, Seven Elements, Eight Extremes, Nine Lights, and Ten Cities according to their fate levels."

"Among them, the first time you can obtain the highest destiny of mountain and sea beasts is at the level of Liusi."

"And this fate level is the lower limit, not the upper limit."

"In theory, even a mountain and sea beast with a fate level of 'Ten Cities' has the opportunity to raise its fate level to the 'Four Imperials' level."

“But it is not easy to improve the fate of the strange beasts of the mountains and seas.”

"Because this requires you to help the beasts of each mountain and sea to survive their corresponding fate according to their characteristics."

"No matter which mountain and sea beast it is, after completing the contract for the first time, it will start from the level of 'Ten Cities'."

"Our company measures the fate level of a mountain and sea beast only based on the highest fate that the mountain and sea beast has ever achieved in history."

"So even if you obtain a 'Six Divisions' level mountain and sea beast, it does not mean that you can immediately obtain the power of the 'Six Divisions' beast."

"It means that as long as you follow the experience of your predecessors, you can relatively easily upgrade your mountain and sea beasts to the 'Sixth Division' level."

"But whether you can make your mountain and sea beasts reach a higher level in the future depends on you."

"As for obtaining exotic beasts from the mountains and seas, my Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division does not have the ability to do so."

"So you must go to our headquarters in Qingzhou, Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division."

"Or maybe it's the Little Penglai in the Clouds of Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division."

"Because only in Little Penglai can you truly come into contact with those exotic beasts from the mountains and seas, and have the opportunity to contract an exotic beast that suits you."
