Xiang Sheng didn't comment, but just asked with a smile, "I wonder how much Brother Duan knows about the Holy Pavilion's tests?"
Duan Ming was delighted when asked about his strengths, but on the surface he coughed lightly and smiled modestly:
"I know a thing or two, haha... Girl, why don't we go into the city first and talk while we walk?"
Don’t refuse the news that comes to your door.
Xiang Sheng readily agreed and smiled faintly: "My surname is Chen, and my given name is Li."
Duan Ming was dazzled by this smile, and his eyes unconsciously revealed a bit of obsession: "Miss Shen, what a nice name."
Xiang Sheng's smile remained unchanged: "Brother Duan, let's talk about the Holy Pavilion test."
"Okay... okay."
Duan Ming nodded without thinking. When he regained his consciousness, he realized what the other party had said and felt annoyed.
This woman is not good-looking and her cultivation seems to be average. She is an excellent candidate for a Taoist partner and there is no need to worry about her being snatched away by others.
He also wanted to use the information from the Holy Pavilion to seduce the other party and cultivate a better relationship with him, but he was distracted for a moment and agreed to it directly.
If he said that, wouldn't this girl leave him immediately?
His mind raced, and he finally came up with an excuse. He put on a concerned look and said:
“Miss Shen came all the way here, so she must be in poor condition, and she will have a bad test in the Holy Pavilion.
Why don't you find a place to rest and recuperate before taking part in the Holy Pavilion test?"
"I'm not tired."
Xiang Sheng spoke directly, then asked with a smile, "Brother Duan, are you tired?"
Duan Ming's face was frozen, and no matter how he looked at Xiang Sheng, his smile was filled with mockery.
"Ha ha."
He laughed dryly twice: "Of course I'm not tired, it's just that female cultivators are always weak..."
"Since you're not tired, let's go." Xiang Sheng started walking and in the blink of an eye he had walked several feet away.
Duan Ming didn't have time to think about it and hurried to catch up.
Hallucination!
The sarcasm in the woman's smile just now must have been an illusion caused by his wild imagination!
This woman seems to be naive and outspoken, lacking in manners, so it's normal for her words to offend...
After taking a few quick steps, Duan Ming quickly adjusted his mood and put on a gentlemanly smile again:
“Miss Shen, you don’t know that this Holy Pavilion test is divided into three levels.
The first test is strength. The method of each test is different, and the degree of casualties varies greatly.
If you are lucky and encounter Wooden Man Lane, your life will most likely not be in danger.
If the Holy Guard Commander is in a bad mood and throws people into the beast pit, there will be very few people who can come out alive."
Duan Ming said this while observing Xiang Sheng.
Of course, the test in the Holy Pavilion is not as dangerous as he said.
He exaggerated on purpose just to scare the girl, and to comfort her a little more when she was scared.
Seeing that Xiang Sheng had no reaction at all, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Could it be that what he said wasn't dangerous enough?
But if it is said to be more dangerous, it would be a fabrication.
If he went to the Holy Pavilion and his lies were accidentally exposed, this woman would definitely feel resentment towards him.
Thinking of this, Duan Ming could only follow his original idea and comfort himself:
“But Miss Shen doesn’t need to worry too much.
The most challenging area in the Holy Pavilion is Wooden Man Alley. The probability of the Beast Pit appearing is extremely low, so we won't encounter it."
At this point, Xiang Sheng suddenly smiled slightly: "Then I will accept Brother Duan's good words."
When Duan Ming saw her smile, he immediately felt relieved.
It turned out that this woman was not unafraid, but she did not show it.
He struck while the iron was hot and went on to talk about the second and third tests.
The contents of the last two tests are no different from the first. They both test strength, but the level of danger is much higher.
As for why the test of strength was divided into three levels, Duan Ming couldn't explain it.
While the two were talking, they had unknowingly arrived at the gate of the Holy Pavilion.
Two monks in green armor were guarding the two sides of the gate. When they saw someone approaching, they immediately cast a cold gaze.
Duan Ming's scalp tingled slightly at being looked at, but in order to keep a straight face in front of Xiang Sheng, he took the initiative to step forward and explain his purpose: "The two of us have come here to enter the Holy Heavenly Palace."
Before he finished speaking, the monk in green armor on the left suddenly snapped his fingers and shot out two streams of light.
Duan Ming's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously dodged, letting the light fall to the ground.
Xiang Sheng reached out and grabbed the flowing light, then spread it out. The light dissipated, revealing a wooden plaque with the words "Ding Jiu" engraved on it.
Duan Ming's wooden sign fell to the ground, revealing the words "Ding Jiu".
The monk in green armor sneered when he saw this.
Although he didn't say a word, Duan Ming felt that he had said everything and his face immediately turned red.
He didn't dare to look at Sheng any longer. He picked up the wooden sign on the ground and walked quickly into the gate.
Xiang Sheng seemed not to notice Duan Ming's embarrassment and walked into the door as usual.
From the outside, the Holy Pavilion looks like a simple attic.
But there is a different world inside, with towering and rugged cliffs and winding roads, like a secret paradise.
However, Xiang Sheng took a quick look and found that the place was filled with a dead feeling and lacked the vitality of an ordinary secret realm.
It seems that the test space forcibly expanded by means of Sumeru mustard seeds can only allow living things to stay for a short time.
A few thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xiang Sheng followed the signposts along the way. After walking for a while, he finally reached the destination.
At the end of the road, there was a spacious stone chamber.
The stone chamber was brightly lit, and one could see hundreds of monks gathered there, both men and women.
Duan Ming walked fast and arrived early, and they were talking to each other at the moment.
