Following a stone path, Qin Ming took Zhou Qing to a high mountain located in the outskirts.

Flowers are blooming, ancient pines are welcoming guests, and waterfalls are cascading, creating a beautiful scene.

"This is Xianke Peak. Normally, if someone comes to visit, they will be placed here."

"The seventy-two peaks over there that are connected front and back and gathered in a group are the seventy-two outer peaks of Xuandu. They are where the outer disciples, deacons, and elders live."

Zhou Qing looked in the direction Qin Ming mentioned. Each of the seventy-two outer peaks was extremely tall and majestic, with countless stone houses and palaces densely packed on them.

"Such a high peak, but all 72 of them are used to house outer disciples?"

Zhou Qing was shocked. "The number of outer disciples in Xuandu Temple is too much."

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Xuan Du Temple recruits disciples every year. Most people can only stay in the outer sect for their entire lives. As time goes by, there will naturally be quite a few people."

"If you are unable to make any further progress after spending a certain number of years in the outer sect, you will have two choices: one is to leave Xuandu Temple, and the other is to stay and take charge of various chores."

"If you choose the second path, you will no longer be an outer disciple, but a business disciple, working under the stewards. Although outer disciples also have sect missions to perform, they can spend more time on cultivation, but business disciples are the opposite."

"So the disciples of the 72 outer peaks are not all of the outer sect level of Xuandu Temple. The number of administrative disciples will be even greater."

"When you are promoted to the True Transmission Peak and open your own peak, you can also apply for a group of administrative disciples from the temple to handle the various chores on the True Transmission Peak for you."

For such a large Xuandu Temple to operate normally, manpower is needed to take care of every aspect.

Not to mention anything else, just the most basic sanitary environment, with so many mountains, I don’t know how many people are needed to take care of it every day.

The range of these mountains is huge, and the cost of using manpower to manage them is undoubtedly much lower than that of using Taoist magic arrays...

These Xuanfa Mountains are also truly crowded with people.

"Going deeper into the seventy-two outer peaks, the thirty-six peaks that are closer to these are the inner peaks, where the inner disciples, inner deacons, and elders live."

"And the inner sect disciples can practice in Xuandu Temple for a longer time. So although there are not many disciples who can be promoted to the inner sect every year, over time, there are still many."

"As for the various True Transmission Peaks, they are scattered all over Xuandu Temple. There is no fixed area."

"These are the main living areas of Xuandu disciples, but in fact they are only a corner of the Xuanfa Mountains. There are many more peaks, each with its own function."

"There are more than one mountain for planting and cultivating medicinal herbs. There are also large areas of flat spiritual land and beast peaks..."

"You will understand these things after you spend more time in Xuandu Temple."

As they were talking, the two of them walked down the stone steps to the hillside of Xianke Peak, where there was a large flat square with palaces connected to each other.

Qin Ming took Zhou Qing into a palace in the middle. It looked like a reception hall, and someone was busy inside.

Seeing Qin Ming coming, the people inside immediately saluted and called him Elder Qin.

Zhou Qing was a little surprised. He found that many people seemed to know Qin Ming.

Is every elder in Xuandu Temple well-known, or is Qin Ming more famous among the elders? You know, Qin Ming has been in Tianzhou for more than 20 years.

Under Qin Ming's instructions, Zhou Qing was settled in Xianke Peak, which provided him with a very nice place to rest.

To be precise, the places on Xianke Peak that are provided for people outside Xuandu Temple to stay are all quite good.

"On Xianke Peak, you can go anywhere except the residences of other guests."

Qin Ming said to Zhou Qing: "I will go to Shuiyue Peak to check the situation now, wait for me to come back."

"good."

Qin Ming left in a hurry. He looked very anxious, even more anxious than Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing didn't quite understand, but he didn't intend to delve into it further.

After taking a look around the residence, Zhou Qing walked out, planning to take a walk around and take a look.

Seventy-two outer peaks, thirty-six inner peaks...

Thinking about Qin Ming's introduction and what he saw and heard here, Zhou Qing secretly felt that it was worthy of being the top Taoist school, the national religion of Da Qi.

What he glimpsed was just the tip of the iceberg of Xuandu Temple, but just this tip of the iceberg was incomparable to the power he had seen before.

He had also been to the Dong family in Zhongtian City, but compared with the Xuanfa Mountains, the difference between the Dong family’s land was like the difference between a capital city and a mountain village.

As for the Huang family in Tianyue City, it's simply a toilet.

The current Black Mountain Holy Land is far inferior to this place.

It's not just a difference in strength, but also a difference in the blessed land.

Xuanfa Mountain is the world's top paradise, and there are few places that can compare with it.

While strolling on Xianke Peak, one could occasionally see some Xuandu disciples, but no one did anything to Zhou Qing, a stranger.

Any stranger who can move around here must be a "Xianke".

After a while, Zhou Qing came to a rather peculiar place on Xianke Peak.

The rocks here protrude outward, just like a human arm, and the front end is shaped like a palm.

An "arm" is stretched out as if to welcome guests, which looks very interesting.

Zhou Qing found it interesting and walked towards the front of the stone arm, then to the thumb position.

This place is not small and can accommodate three or five people. The cold wind blows, making people's clothes rustle.

Looking down, it was empty and probably a thousand feet above the ground. At this height and in this environment, an ordinary person would have felt their legs go weak, or even had their eyes go dark and passed out.

So scary.

Speaking of which, Zhou Qing was also a little afraid of heights in his previous life. When he stood on a tall building and looked out through the window, he would subconsciously hold on to something and only dared to take a quick look, not looking further.

But now…

He already knows how to fly, and has flown more than once, so why would he be afraid of height?

On the contrary, this location made Zhou Qing feel quite comfortable at this moment, with a broad view and fresh air.

Suddenly, Zhou Qing heard a faint sound of communication behind him, and the sound was gradually getting louder.

He turned his head and saw several people walking out of the woods.

"Senior Sister Lin, do you think we can meet those seniors?"

“The Han family has contacts with many seniors in the temple. Who are you?!”

The conversation was suddenly interrupted because the person who came also saw Zhou Qing.

The visitors were two men and two women, all young people. One of them was wearing the attire of a Xuan Du disciple, while the other three were not.

When the Xuandu disciple saw Zhou Qing and combined with his attire, he probably understood that Zhou Qing was a guest at Xuandu Temple.

She said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, please forgive me."

Zhou Qing shook his head to indicate that it was nothing.

This is not his territory, anyone can come here, there is no need to disturb anyone.

But since someone had arrived, Zhou Qing didn't stay here for long. He turned around and left.

"My father's condition is very urgent, I really..."

The conversation behind him continued, but it stopped abruptly as Zhou Qing moved away.

He returned to the residence arranged for him by Xianke Peak and looked out at the Xuanfa Mountains from the square.

This is where I will stay for a long time. I don’t know what my life will be like in the future.

Later, the four people Zhou Qing had just met at the stone arm appeared again, and their residence was not far from Zhou Qing.

Qin Ming didn't let Zhou Qing wait long, he came back soon.

"Let's go, let's go to Suwol Peak."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, he also saw the four people. Among them, the disciple from Xuandu Temple immediately saluted him.

Qin Ming looked at her and had a slight impression of her. He said, "You are the daughter of Junior Brother Lin from Huaiyuan Peak, right?"

The female disciple nodded quickly, and Qin Ming waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, just do whatever you want."

Then Qin Ming turned and left. Zhou Qing followed him and asked curiously, "Uncle Qin, why do I feel like so many Xuandu disciples know you?"

Qin Ming smiled and replied, "There aren't that many disciples. The disciples guarding the mountain know me because I came back every year in the past few years, so they are naturally familiar with me."

"The disciples of Xianke Peak know me because I was in charge of Xianke Peak's affairs for a period of time before I went to Tianzhou. Even when I came back a few years ago, I would come to Xianke Peak."

"Compared to some of the elders in the temple, I am one of the more visible ones."

"I see." Zhou Qing nodded and asked, "What about the Shuiyue Peak Master?"

"I haven't seen Senior Uncle Shuiyue. I heard from Senior Sister Luo that Senior Uncle Shuiyue is still in seclusion to recuperate. But I told Senior Sister Luo about your arrival. You can go directly to Shuiyue Peak now. Senior Sister Luo is waiting for you."

As he spoke, Qin Ming shook the token in his hand engraved with the words "Shuiyue", which meant the permission of Shuiyue Peak.

On the way to Shuiyue Peak, if Zhou Qing and his companions were questioned by someone, this token could solve the problem.

The four people watched Zhou Qingyuan go, and some of the words the two said also fell into their ears.

The Han woman asked with bright eyes, "Senior Sister Lin, are you two going to Shuiyue Peak? Is it the Shuiyue Peak where Luo Danjun is?"

Disciple Lin saw through her thoughts at a glance and said:

"There is only one Shuiyue Peak in the entire Xuandu Temple, but Shanshan, Shuiyue Peak is not something we can touch, and it is even more impossible to ask that person to help."

"Yes, I am not sure if I can invite a Venerable-level alchemist, let alone the Alchemy Master."

After descending Xianke Peak, Qin Ming took out another token and activated it, and then he waited quietly there.

"It takes too much time to walk to Suwol Peak."

Qin Ming's words made Zhou Qing a little curious.

If you don't walk, and you don't fly, do you need to take a "Didi"? Before he could ask, he heard the sound of flapping wings and chirping in the sky.

Zhou Qing looked up and saw a huge crane slowly landing in front of the two of them.

"Let's go."

Qin Ming walked onto the crane's back first and asked Zhou Qing to get on as well.

“…”

It turns out that it is really like taking a Didi, except that it can fly.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

The crane flapped its wings and flew away, heading deep into the Xuanfa Mountains. Then Zhou Qing discovered that there were many peaks where the scenery inside could not be seen clearly as they were shrouded in fog and could not be seen through.

Only a few places such as the seventy-six outer peaks and the thirty-six inner peaks can be seen clearly.

"In Xuanfa Mountain, you cannot fly unless it is urgent. If you are a true disciple or an elder traveling, you can call the crane and ride it away."

Qin Ming saw that Zhou Qing was somewhat curious about the crane and explained:

"This is a spiritual beast cultivated by Xuandu Temple. It understands human nature and is very gentle. It will not hurt anyone."

"There is a flying space reserved for them above the Xuanfa Mountains."

Zhou Qing didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he could only come up with two words.

Awesome.

The crane was flying very fast. After flying over many majestic peaks, its speed slowed down and its altitude began to drop.

A mountain with a unique shape appeared in front of Zhou Qing.

The mountain was like a crescent moon, solid on one side and hollow on the other, and it became narrower towards the end.

On the other side of the sky, there is a waterfall pouring down, connecting heaven and earth. The sound of water can be heard from a long distance away, it really looks like the Milky Way.

Without Qin Ming's explanation, Zhou Qing knew that this must be Shuiyue Peak. It really lived up to its name.

Qin Ming's voice rang out, "This is Shuiyue Peak, which is two thousand feet high. The waterfall pouring down from the top of the mountain is also a wonder in Xuandu Temple."

"It's really strange."

Zhou Qing strongly agrees with this statement.

"When it's night, the view will be even more amazing." Qin Ming said with a smile: "The Shuiyue Peak is full of moonlight grass. This grass is not a spiritual plant or a precious medicinal material. It has only one function. At night, it will emit a faint moonlight-like light."

"At night, the moonlight grass covering Suwol Peak will glow. When viewed from a distance, Suwol Peak will look like a crescent moon. The waterfall will also be illuminated by the moonlight, like the flowing moonlight."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing only imagined it for a moment and felt that the scene was truly magical, magnificent and beautiful.

Elegant, so elegant.

If it were in the previous life, this wonder of Suwol Peak would have definitely become a huge hit and famous all over the world, and it wouldn't have been a difficult thing.

But in this world, it is just a peak view inside Xuandu Temple.

As the cranes approached, the sound of the waves crashing against the shore was deafening.

It is hard to imagine how terrifying it would be when the water of the waterfall pouring down from a height of two thousand feet hits the ground.

Um……

Wouldn't this cause nuisance to the residents? Then Zhou Qing punched himself inside.

Whether it disturbs the people or not is also a question that the Lord of Shuiyue Peak should be concerned about, but he is not the Lord of Shuiyue Peak.

When they arrived at the foot of Shuiyue Peak, Qin Ming took out something that looked like pills from his space ring and fed it to the crane.

The crane chirped happily, swallowed the pills, and flew away flapping its wings.

It turns out that you still have to pay for the “car fare”…

"Beast food pills are small things that are the favorites of cranes. You can make them yourself, or you can go to Crane Peak to get them after you are promoted to the True Transmission." Qin Ming smiled and said, " But be careful, when you make them yourself, you can't use cranes for experiments. If the cranes get sick or die from eating them, then Crane Peak will refuse to serve you in the future."

Zhou Qing nodded. He understood. He was blocked.

Walking up the stone steps, Zhou Qing reached Shuiyue Peak.

The stone steps on this peak are different from those in other places. They are paved with white stones the size of goose eggs.

From various signs on Shuiyue Peak, Zhou Qing could roughly infer that the master of Shuiyue Peak was a very elegant person.

The way up the mountain was very quiet and no one else was met, but Qin Ming did not take Zhou Qing directly to the top of the mountain. After walking about three to five hundred meters up, he turned and walked along a horizontal path.

Finally, they arrived at a mountain wall. There was a door on the smooth stone wall, which was now open.

Walking into the gate, it is not dark and crowded inside. There is a palace carved out in the mountain. Although it is simple, it has a large space.

The two of them walked into a small door on the left, inside was a stone chamber with someone already sitting inside.

It was a woman, dressed in black, with a cold face, cool and beautiful, but a little ordinary.

He looked like an ordinary person, without any powerful aura.

After Zhou Qing and the other person came in, her eyes moved slightly and she looked over.

Those eyes were as calm as a still pond, seemingly without any emotion.

"Zhou Qing?"

The woman spoke and introduced herself: "I am Luo Liuli."

"Senior Luo."

Zhou Qing didn't know how to address her, so he just called her "senior", which would definitely not be wrong anyway.

Luo Liuli just looked at him, her eyes clear, and then said:

"Since you are at Xuandu Temple, I will take you to register and formally enter the temple later."

Qin Ming said, "Senior Sister Luo, I will take Zhou Qing to handle these matters."

"I won't bother Junior Brother Qin anymore." Luo Liuli refused. "Junior Brother Qin just returned to the mountain. You can go and do your work."

“…”

Of course Qin Ming could understand what Luo Liuli meant. She was trying to chase him away.

Fine, fine, you're just going to kill me, right? "I do have some things to do, and since Zhou Qing has come to Senior Sister Luo, I'll leave first."

Qin Ming said to Zhou Qing again: "Contact me if you have anything."

He gave Zhou Qing something to contact him.

After Qin Ming left, only Zhou Qing and Luo Liuli were left in the stone chamber.

Luo Liuli's expression remained indifferent and did not change even after being driven away.

Zhou Qing was not surprised, nor did he think that this alchemy master from the Yellow Springs Realm had any opinions about him.

He heard some things about this third senior sister from Lu Qingmo. Luo Liuli was naturally cold-tempered, and you wouldn't even see any change in expression on her face in a whole year.

Basically, he has the same expression all the time and doesn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations.

This person seldom cares about people and things that have nothing to do with him. If nothing disturbs him, he can stay at home alone to practice alchemy for a long time without showing up.

Luo Liuli seemed to be born with fewer emotions, as clear as glass. He was the famous cold-faced Alchemy Master in Xuandu Temple.

But Lu Qingmo has a very good and close relationship with this third senior sister.

Luo Liuli is naturally cold and doesn't show her emotions, but that doesn't mean she has no feelings.

On the contrary, if you really get the recognition of someone with such a personality, you will get a more reliable and trustworthy friend.

Therefore, the performance of this Huangquan master is very normal now, which is consistent with the introduction that Lu Qingmo once gave to Zhou Qing.

"Master and Junior Sister are both in seclusion for training. It is unknown when they will come out."

Luo Liuli said: "The Heavenly Saint Resurrection Liquid has been refined. Junior Sister is in seclusion to refine the Heavenly Saint Resurrection Liquid."

"The Tongtian Flower that you asked Junior Sister to bring back has also been in Master's hands. After Master got the Tongtian Flower, he immediately went into seclusion, intending to make a final stand."

Luo Liuli spoke clearly and organized as she explained these things one by one.

According to the information from Wang Yuan, this information has not been made public and is kept secret within Shuiyue Peak.

Luo Liuli did not wait for Zhou Qing to reply, but continued to speak:

"Thank you for helping Master and Junior Sister."

Well... Lengmian Danjun is also pretty good.

At least there is no psychological barrier when saying thank you.
