When the three of them were on the mountain, Chen Xiao found the school and was walking around looking for the eye of the acupoint. At the same time, Xi Yunting was explaining to the villagers how he was going to take the children away.
First, he would take the team to a safe place in a mountain valley where he would stay temporarily. He would teach them to switch to the basic Chongxuan mental method, so that they could catch up with the progress of other disciples of the same period. Afterwards, he would notify Chongxuan to send at least one director from the Director's Office to personally lead the team through the teleportation vortex gate. This was to avoid making things difficult for Zhishitang, because not only did none of these young children have a name certificate, but when he handed over the token that could represent Chongxuan to handle important affairs, he gave it to his nephews. Finally, when the director of the Director's Office arrived, he would personally invite the people from Zhishitang to come to the valley to apply for disciple certificates for these children and teenagers who had no identity certificates. In this way, they would not have to enter Hanshan City, and could directly detour to the Whirlpool Gate and teleport away.
Xi Yunting was very thoughtful, and he took into account the interests of these young children who lived in seclusion and were on the run from wanted criminals. The village chief nodded repeatedly, not dissenting from any of his words.
Since these young children were young and it was their first time leaving home, Xi Yunting made an exception and recruited several young people in their twenties to help take care of these apprentices on the road. Xi Yunting gave five places to the village chief, plus Ah Shou who came to ask for a place, so there were middle-aged and young people, and it was just right for one generation to take care of the next.
Originally, when a place recruited disciples, in addition to those with good qualifications being admitted to the inner sect, they also had to select outer sect disciples in a proportion. However, the situation in Changjia Village was exactly the opposite of the outside world. Outside, there were fewer inner sect disciples and more outer sect disciples. Here, there were more inner sect disciples and fewer outer sect disciples.
Xi Yunting did not set any spiritual root talents, and anyone with average or above talent was accepted. The selection of outer disciples was entirely based on the apprentice's willingness, except that they had to pass the selection criteria. Even the list was controlled by local forces, and this was an opportunity that the Great Immortal Sect deliberately provided to the locals. They were allowed to put in apprentices with less than excellent qualifications, and as long as they were not too extreme, the Immortal Sect would often turn a blind eye.
At that time in Fan Village, if Fan Shiming had not caused such a big fuss later, Zhao Fang would not have cared even if the head of the school had finally put him on the list and squeezed another person out.
The village chief was also very happy to have obtained these five places. Because this place is different from the outside world, the immortal sect only selects disciples once every hundred years. The opportunity is so rare and precious, and the village chief dare not take it on his own, for fear of misunderstanding Master Xi's intentions and making him unhappy. It is better to follow the other party's requirements and do it in a proper manner, so as not to lower the overall impression of Changjia Village in Master Xi's eyes. After all, these more than 30 people have to be led by the other party to cross the two worlds, which is more than a thousand miles away. The village chief knows that Master Xi is an outstanding person and should protect these disciples, but he still dares not be careless. After all, if they leave Changjia Village, they will be out of reach.
The village chief planned to notify all those who met the age requirements, whether they were of medium, high or excellent quality. The opportunities were equal, so let them make their own choices.
The matter was discussed for more than an hour. At noon, the village chief invited Xi Yunting to his home for dinner, and of course Ah Shou had to accompany him. During the subsequent trip, Ah Shou was the only middle-aged man, and he used to be very prestigious among his peers. The village chief also hoped that he could take up the responsibility in the future and take good care of the people who went out with Changjia Village.
In the local area, dining with local managers is also a necessary social event. Xi Yunting did not refuse and readily agreed to go.
The three of them were sitting at the table. Just as the food was served, Xi Yunting felt a burst of spiritual energy near the village. At the same time, all the villagers in the village who were above the foundation-building stage sensed this unusual movement.
The village chief said uncertainly: "Is this... a spiritual treasure appearing? Such a fierce explosion! It can even be felt here, so it must be very close."
Xi Yunting stood up and said, "It's near the village, over there in the rice fields!"
Ah Shou's expression suddenly changed and he jumped up: "Oh no! Did something happen to Brother Du and the others?!"
When Chen Xiao and the other two came out, they even said hello to them and said they wanted to look around. If there was anything that could be related to the unusual movement, it would only be them.
Before they could say anything else, the beasts around them started to get agitated, roaring loudly one after another. The village chief was confused and stood up as well: "Are the beasts rioting?"
Ah Shou was the one who hunted the most in the mountains in the village, and he was sure of it as soon as he heard it. He said, "It must be the spiritual energy gushing out of the spiritual treasure. I'm afraid these beasts will attack the village."
Xi Yunting frowned slightly, but the village chief raised his eyebrows and waved his arms without fear: "Let them come, just in case the villagers don't have to go up the mountain to hunt."
Xi Yunting asked, "Can the villagers cope with it?" Ah Shou said, "Master, don't worry. After all, the ancestors of Changjia Village were once vassals of a great immortal family, and they also got a magic weapon. When this magic weapon is deployed, it can cover the village, and the beasts can't get in, and can only be beaten outside. Otherwise, how could our ancestors dare to let us live here. Without some means, the beast disaster caused by the beasts going berserk will destroy the whole village."
In this case, Xi Yunting stopped worrying about it. He used his body skills to quickly rush in the direction of the spiritual energy explosion. While they were talking just now, the spiritual energy explosion had stopped. However, the remaining energy alone could clearly point to the direction.
In a flash, Xi Yunting had already rushed to the mountain. Du Rong was holding down the boulder and hadn't let go yet. Chen Xiao was holding the iron rod in his hand, and the roar of the beast and the agitation of the beast made him seem a little helpless. Tong Nuonuo ignored everything around him and was carefully collecting the soil that had just been sprayed out and scattered around them.
Xi Yunting took a quick glance and understood. He said with certainty: "This is the core of the fine earth ore, it must be the essence. The muddy yellow is tinged with purple, it seems to have thunder attribute, and it is an excellent material for refining weapons."
Tong Nuonuo looked at Xi Yunting with a rare defensive look when he heard this. He said in a hard voice: "It is also the best material for making machinery!"
Xi Yunting was stunned by the look, and then he remembered that Tong Nuonuo was a mechanical engineer. When someone praised the material as a good thing for refining, the mechanical engineer who had the same material as most of the refining materials would certainly be unhappy. As for why Tong Nuonuo was so defensive, he thought the other party was a refiner and wanted to snatch the mineral essence from him. Just like a hamster with its fur standing up to protect its food, he was obviously a scum compared to the other party, but he still tried his best to defend himself.
Xi Yunting had no choice but to walk around him and go to the other side. He stood in front of Chen Xiao, looked down, and felt that he seemed a little absent-minded. Xi Yunting asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Are you scared? Don't worry, the village has countermeasures, and the beast can't get in."
Chen Xiao finally came to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that there is a way. I didn't expect that the Xue would cause such a big mess."
There is colored soil under the acupoints. Although Chen Xiao has never encountered this situation in person, he has read about it in books and heard his master talk about it. Jixue has five-color soil, which is just a general term. Because the color of the colored soil is not necessarily fixed to five colors, there may be more than five kinds of colored soil. However, most of these five-color soils will gradually turn into normal colors after digging up the surface and contacting the outside air.
Chen Xiao also did not expect that the five-colored soil here would directly become the core essence of some kind of fine soil mine. But now thinking about it, the spiritual energy of the earth veins in the previous life was not as abundant as this life, and occasionally some rare treasures could be found in the dragon acupoints. Not to mention that this world has abundant spiritual energy and immortal cultivators are everywhere, so it is no wonder that such a top-quality treasure will appear in the acupoints.
Tong Nuonuo quickly collected all the mineral essences that fell around him and put them into the mechanism box. When he was done, he stood up, patted the mechanism box, and said to the three people: "I will go back and refine the essences mixed with the soil, and then distribute them to everyone." After all, this time they found it all together, and according to the usual practice of training outside, the harvest like this should be divided equally.
Xi Yunting immediately said: "No need to give, just divide it among the three of you."
Chen Xiao said: "If this thing is so important to you, why don't you use it first, and when you have spirit coins and spirit beads in the future, you can just give me the equivalent value."
Du Rong also said, "I don't want it either. Rather than selling it for money, I actually want the mechanism made by Master Tong Xian, which will be more useful to me."
Tong Nuonuo was surprised and delighted. He nodded and said, "Okay, when my mechanical skills are perfected, I will definitely make one for each of you!"
A horn was blown in the village, and Ah Shou ran over. When he saw them standing at the foot of the mountain, he shouted, "Hurry back to the village, the defense will be activated!"
The four people hurried back to the village, and a transparent cover appeared above dozens of houses in Changjia Village. At this time, the beasts that were moving fast and close had already entered the basin. They turned around a few times, but didn't find anything, so they rushed towards the village violently. Chen Xiao watched in fear, worried that the thin layer could not resist. Unexpectedly, these beasts only crashed into ripples on the barrier and couldn't get in an inch.
The village chief led a group of people, including old, strong and young people. They all held simple weapons and stood behind the protective shield to attack the beasts.
These ferocious beasts scratched around here for a long time, but could only passively take the beating. After just two or three quarters of an hour, they let out a wail, left behind a few corpses and ran away.
The villagers cheered and rushed out of the protective shield to carry the beast's body. It turned out that these villagers were not only not afraid of such a beast riot, but also welcomed it. It was like the beast was delivering meat directly to their doorstep!
In fact, it was almost the same. The village chief told them that there would be a bonfire party tonight. Everyone would gather together and have a barbecue!
