Having changed his appearance, Wu Er arrived at the registration place for the Demon-Slaying Trial and presented his new cultivator certificate.
"Zhang San..."
Wu Er looked down at the name on his cultivator's certificate. "It's such a simple and unadorned name, but why does it feel so strange... like I'm about to commit a crime..."
Okay, at least he is the head of Pengshan Sect, a law-abiding citizen, and definitely not some lawless madman!
Once you arrive at the registration office, submit your monk certificate, and fill out the registration form, your registration is complete.
This demon-slaying trial was not an important event; the various procedures were quite loose, and there wasn't even a dedicated cloud boat for transportation.
The journey to the border to exorcise demons was entirely at the traveler's own expense, and there were also certain risks involved.
These conditions were terrible for Pengshanmen's activities.
However, the reward is quite generous, which explains why so many people are willing to go.
Moreover, during the registration process, people will constantly try to dissuade you, saying things like the dangers of this trip and that you need to be fully prepared.
Despite all the persuasion, a large number of junior disciples with only Foundation Establishment cultivation levels still signed up.
It can only be said that the rewards for this trial are exceptionally high, which is why many people are willing to take the risk.
"Hopefully they are all ready."
Wu Er was powerless to persuade his disciples anymore and could only hope that they were fully prepared.
Although the death rate in this demon-slaying trial was not expected, any event that resulted in injury or death at Pengshan Sect could be considered a dangerous activity.
Putting all that aside for now, it's more important to focus on my own business.
"By the way, how do I get to the border?"
Wu Er was worried about how to get to the border. His current persona as "Zhang San" was that of an inner disciple who had cultivated to the Golden Core stage.
It would seem very unreasonable for someone to fly there solely based on their Golden Core cultivation.
The patrols at the Pengshan Gate border are very strict. If Wu Er doesn't take the cloud boat and instead teleports there inexplicably, he will inevitably run into trouble and might even ruin his travel plans.
Just as Wu Er was struggling with his decision, a voice came from the side.
"Fellow disciple, would you be interested in teaming up for a journey?"
The voice sounded familiar, and Wu Er looked in the direction of the sound.
Oh, no wonder the voice sounded so familiar; it turns out the person speaking to Wu Er was Han Qingxiu.
However, Wu Er has changed his appearance and aura, so Han Qingxiu cannot recognize him.
Ha, no wonder he's my apprentice, he even took the initiative to come and ask me to travel with him.
Wu Er felt a surge of pride, then nodded and said, "I was just looking for someone to travel with me."
When Han Qingxiu saw that this "stranger" had agreed, she politely said, "That would be best. With you included, we'll have enough people to charter a small cloud boat."
Just as Han Qingxiu was speaking, someone came up to the two of them.
This man was burly and thick-waisted; he was an acquaintance, Xiong Ao.
It seems he also signed up for this so-called demon-slaying trial.
"Is this the travel companion you found?"
Xiong Ao looked at Wu Er, who had changed his appearance, and said, "He doesn't look very sturdy."
His tone was slightly arrogant, though it was much more restrained than before.
Judging from this, it seems that Xiong Ao is another person Han Qingxiu has found to work with.
Why do you want to find him?
Well, because of her ordinary status, Han Qingxiu didn't have many friends, except for her previous acquaintance with Xiong Ao.
However, Wu Er now has a question in his mind.
Then Wu Er asked, "By the way, I have a question for you two: why did you ask me to travel with you?"
This is a very important question: why, out of so many people, did they choose to be your colleague?
A choice of fate? A destiny-bound encounter?
Stop joking around. He's already cultivated himself into an immortal, why would he believe in feudal superstitions?
"Oh," Han Qingxiu said with a smile, "That's because I don't think you're a bad person. You have an honest and kind appearance, so I think you must be a good person."
Xiong Ao nodded in agreement, "I think so too. Although I don't know your cultivation level, you should be a good person."
Hearing this, Wu Er was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.
Wu Er patted his chest and said, "That's for sure, I, Zhang San, am known for my honesty and integrity!"
And so, the group went through another round of introducing themselves and their identities. Although Wu Er already knew the details of these two men very well, the formalities still had to be followed.
And there was a little incident in the middle...
"My name is Han Qingxiu, and I am a disciple of the sect leader..."
Right after Han Qingxiu introduced herself, Wu Er began to act.
"What? You're the sect leader's disciple!"
Wu Er then feigned extreme panic and exclaimed, "My God, I'm so excited! He's actually the sect leader's disciple!"
"This..." Han Qingxiu was already mentally prepared for this reaction.
She quickly replied modestly, "Fellow disciple, I am just an ordinary inner disciple."
Upon hearing this, Wu Er changed his tone and said, "Of course you're just an ordinary inner disciple. All you do is practice swordsmanship all day long and you don't care about your master at all."
Speaking of this, Wu Er couldn't help but shake his head again, "Thinking of that Pengshan Sect Leader, he is truly handsome and knowledgeable in astronomy and geography! No one in the cultivation world can rival him; he is simply the most diligent, the most perfect, and the most handsome immortal!"
Then Wu Er went on and on, saying a whole bunch of things, all of which were self-praise. Wu Er was never stingy with words when it came to praising himself.
I don't even feel embarrassed...
His words left Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao, who were standing to the side, completely confused.
What's wrong with this person? What's wrong with them?
Xiong Ao was completely bewildered and had no idea what Wu Er was talking about.
Han Qingxiu, as the sect leader's disciple, sensed something amiss.
That tone, that manner, why does it sound so familiar?
Han Qingxiu looked at the person in front of her and frowned. She seemed to have guessed something, but she wasn't quite sure.
Xiong Ao seemed to notice Han Qingxiu's confusion, so he asked, "You've been frowning the whole time. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that person? I think he has mental problems. Should we find someone else to go with us?"
As he spoke, Xiong Ao pointed to Wu Er beside him.
At this moment, Wu Er was still praising himself incessantly, and after talking for so long, he hadn't repeated a single word.
"We've already invited them, so let's forget about changing the person."
Han Qingxiu shook her head and looked at Wu Er, whispering, "I think he looks a bit like someone, but even if that person is bored, they wouldn't be so bored as to pretend to be someone else to make fun of their disciple...maybe."
Xiong Ao listened to Han Qingxiu's words but didn't quite understand what they meant.
Han Qingxiu, being a bit of a slacker, didn't bother to explain, but instead greeted Wu Er beside her.
He said, "I think we should board the cloud boat. It would be better to get to the border sooner, familiarize ourselves with the environment, and kill a few more monsters to restore peace to the border."
Wu Er shrugged and stopped praising himself.
The three then set off...
