I chartered a small cloud boat, somewhat similar to taking a taxi in my previous life.
After paying the spirit stone, the cloud boat took the person to the destination.
Because it was a private cloud boat, the speed was not fast, and it took almost half a month to reach the border.
Moreover, because the cloud boat is so small, the riding experience is quite terrible.
Why would someone want to ride in a private little cloud boat if the experience was so bad?
Need I say more?
Of course, it's about saving money!
If you were to ride on a high-end cloud boat, who knows how much it would cost!
The cost of traveling on a high-class cloud boat is a considerable expense, even for inner disciples.
Moreover, because of this incident, Wu Er complained about himself for a long time.
"Why didn't you give Xiuer more spirit stones back then?"
Although Han Qingxiu is the sect leader's disciple, she receives the same resources as ordinary outer disciples in order to ensure fairness among the sect's disciples.
However, in addition to these, each master will give his disciple extra resources.
Therefore, if you find a good master, you will never have to worry about spirit stones and elixirs.
Some of the second-generation immortals in the sect simply chartered a luxurious cloud boat and left.
As for Han Qingxiu, the disciple of the Pengshan Sect leader, she only took the Wujian Sword from Wu Ershou and nothing else.
They didn't give us any spirit stones, pills, or talismans.
This forces the dignified sect leader's disciple to compete with others for cloud boats, and even those are cheap ones!
It has to be said that this is quite beneath him, and even Wu Er, who is usually carefree, felt ashamed.
Okay, let's not worry about that for now, we've arrived at our destination anyway.
"Take care, everyone, and remember to leave a top-rated review!"
The cultivator piloting the cloud boat waved to Wu Er and the others, then put away the storage bag containing spirit stones before driving the cloud boat away.
Wu Er, Han Qingxiu, and Xiong Ao arrived at the border.
What is this border?
The border is the boundary between humans and demons in the Eastern Wilderness, much like a national border.
Both the Western Regions and the Eastern Wilderness are inhabited by half humans and half demons, so border conflicts often occur.
What is the most important symbol of a border?
That magnificent city wall!
The three were still some distance from the actual border, but even so, they could see the magnificent city wall.
The dark city wall stands not far away, like a black mountain, or a huge, imposing spine.
The land was divided in two by this black city wall, stretching for countless miles.
Some say the wall protects the human race, while others say it is the burial place of many demons.
So be it.
Some things have such contradictory meanings.
Han Qingxiu gazed at the towering city wall, her eyes filled with an indescribable expression, a mixture of surprise and fear.
After glancing at the city wall, Xiong Ao looked away. His expression was not very clear, so it was difficult to tell what he was thinking.
Although Wu Er wasn't particularly surprised, he wasn't entirely unmoved, as the story that unfolded in this place was one he would never forget.
In short, this is a complex wall.
Yes, even inanimate objects like walls are complex.
After a long while, Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao finally came to their senses.
Wu Er, who had long since recovered, was pretending that he hadn't, as if he was still immersed in the shock.
"Zhang San?" Han Qingxiu patted Wu Er on the shoulder. "We should go."
When someone called him, Wu Er snapped out of his daze and said with lingering interest, "This city wall really does have a story to tell."
Han Qingxiu echoed, "Yes, no matter what the outcome, it's at least very beneficial for growth."
Upon hearing this, Wu Er nodded and praised, "You have a high level of awareness."
Upon receiving the praise, Han Qingxiu humbly replied, "This is all thanks to my master's excellent teaching."
This is a humble statement, and anyone can understand its meaning.
Wu Er also realized that Han Qingxiu was just being polite, since he had never taught her any of these things.
but......
"Indeed, the head of Pengshan Sect is wise and powerful, and his teaching of his disciples is also so insightful!"
Wu Er was certainly going to make the most of any opportunity to praise himself.
Han Qingxiu smiled awkwardly, while Xiong Ao was completely confused.
There's not much to say about what happened next; the three of them simply hurried towards the city wall, and nothing untoward occurred along the way.
Although it's a border area, it's actually much safer than the inland areas, right here by the black border wall.
The three of them reached the bottom of the wall, and Han Qingxiu and Xiong Ao sighed again, while Wu Er also pretended to sigh a few times.
The general sentiment was that the city wall was incredibly wide; it was called a city wall, but the wall itself was wider than the city itself.
This place truly deserves to be called "the city wall"—a wall that can hold an entire city.
Indeed, there are many buildings on this high wall, with complete functions, making it no different from a city.
On this city wall, there is also a place specifically for registering the disciples who are participating in this trial.
There's not much to say about what happened next; it was just registration, followed by various array checks to confirm that I was a genuine Pengshan cultivator.
This inspection is very necessary because in the past, demons have disguised themselves as disciples of Pengshan and infiltrated human territory.
"Alright, let's go. Go do what you need to do."
Once the tests were completed, the person in charge waved his hand, looking quite impatient.
He kept muttering, "It's so annoying! I'm busy all day long, and I still have to take care of these pampered disciples. I don't know what the higher-ups in the sect are thinking?"
What are the higher-ups thinking?
Upon hearing the complaints, Wu Er thought to himself: Of course, it's about thinking while standing.
Perhaps to the cultivators stationed on the border, these disciples who have never experienced hardship are just causing trouble, but for the sect, this is cultivating the courage of the next generation of disciples.
However, Wu Er could understand the cultivator's complaints.
There are just too many things to do in this border region, so there's simply not enough time, and manpower is extremely tight; one person has to do the work of three.
There's nothing we can do about the manpower shortage; it's a legacy issue.
In fact, the borders of each region are jointly guarded by various sects, and the city wall was not originally guarded entirely by Pengshan Sect.
However, due to some unpleasant incidents, other sects withdrew their cultivators, leaving the entire vast border to be guarded by only the Pengshan Sect.
Therefore, manpower is very scarce now. Fortunately, the Eastern Wilderness Demon Clan does not have a Demon Saint in charge, otherwise the Pengshan Sect alone would not be able to defend it.
Next, Wu Er and the others went to the notice board at the border to accept their mission.
Accepting and completing tasks will earn you rewards. Furthermore, after obtaining rewards at the border, you can exchange the same task for more rewards upon returning to Daopeng Mountain.
It can be said that as long as you complete a task, you will receive double the reward, so even though it is dangerous, the generous reward attracts many people every year.
"Hmm... which mission should I accept?"
Wu Er, Han Qingxiu, and Xiong Ao looked at the tasks displayed on the bulletin board and began to choose one.
