Chapter 86
Li Hao has been in this world for ten days. There is also a problem with the flow of time here. It is even more terrifying than the doomsday world.
There is a full twenty-five times difference, so the base basically has no way to guide her. Under such a difference, Li Hao has made a decision to find a way to become a great wizard here.
She landed in a jungle, and spent two days flying along the stream. Just before entering the town, she saw someone flying over. She landed right on the ground.
To be cautious, she observed outside the town for a day before entering.
The people here wore ancient clothes and spoke Chinese, which unexpectedly made Li Hao vaguely guess something.
I used magic to eavesdrop on many people's conversations and got some understanding of this town.
These outsiders came here for the Huaqing Sect's three-yearly opening ceremony to recruit disciples.
The person Li Hao saw flying past was none other than a cultivator from the Huaqing Sect.
It seemed that perhaps the best way to break through was to become a cultivator. It was unclear what level of cultivator a third-level mage corresponded to. Could she practice both magic and cultivation? That would require a trial.
Li Hao had a feeling that in this world she could find a way to resolve the issue between her and Qi Yuanqing.
According to the information she investigated, it should be said that as rumored, cultivators can move mountains and seas, and have a lifespan of hundreds of years.
Even if Li Hao didn't find any other method, finding a way to practice Taoism would be a good choice.
After so many time travels, Li Hao is very clear about what he needs to do when it comes to surviving in a strange place.
After checking into the inn smoothly, she didn't rush and instead went to a tailor shop in town to change her clothes. Fortunately, since this was the New World, she had plenty of gold, silver, and jewelry on hand.
For ease of use, everything from gold coins to silver coins, gold and silver particles, pearls and gems are fully prepared.
But even after changing her clothes, Li Hao still looked a bit out of place, mainly because she didn't know how to style her hair.
After a long time of fiddling around, he finally used a jade hairpin to tie his hair up, just to follow the local customs. Luckily, some explanations came from the base, and over the next few days, Li Hao finally learned how to make simple hair accessories.
During this period, she met the two siblings next door several times, and the younger sister also took the initiative to talk to Li Hao.
Li Hao also spoke to the other party very friendly. The sister is called Liu Ruxin and the brother is called Liu Suixing. They are siblings. This time, they had to go through many difficulties to become his disciple.
As the time for the mountain gate to open approached, more and more people came, and the innkeeper took the opportunity to raise the price. Li Hao saw two siblings arguing with the innkeeper.
"I've already paid the money and it's settled. How can you go back on your word?"
"Right now, our inn has the cheapest and most reasonable prices in the entire Xianyuan Town. If you don't believe me, I won't take the remaining few days' rent. You can go find a more reasonable place. We are also a small business, and it's not easy to make a little money."
The innkeeper said without any fear, "You know, they haven't been open for three years, and they've been making a living for three years. They're just waiting for this period of time to knock on these bamboo poles."
"You, dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Immortal Sect, wait for me..." The girl was so angry that she was about to threaten, but was stopped by her brother behind her.
To be honest, the two of them didn't look like they were short of money. But Li Hao probably guessed that their journey must have been a rough one.
Although there was a nice carriage coming, it was strange that there was not a single servant accompanying it.
Li Hao had a good feeling about the two of them and stepped forward to help.
"Is this enough for the three of us to pay for the next room?" Li Hao was standing on the second floor at this time. He casually threw down three fifty-liang silver coins.
The three silver coins landed steadily on the counter, making the clerk's eyes light up. He was about to take the silver.
It turned out that the silver, seemingly dropped on the counter, could not move at all. It was as if it had grown on the counter.
Li Hao continued to ask. "Have you said enough?"
"Enough, enough." The waiter also realized that something was wrong, and quickly nodded and bowed to Li Hao on the second floor.
"Then I don't want anything to disturb me later." Li Hao said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes." The waiter realized that this man must be no ordinary person. He remembered his boss's advice: if you meet someone who is alone and not in a bad state, you should be extremely alert.
After hearing the answer, the three silver coins jumped directly onto the waiter.
This superb move made the guy break out in a cold sweat.
Li Hao walked down and found a seat by the window, waiting for the other party to serve morning tea.
Liu Ruxin wanted to teach the guy a lesson, but her brother pulled her over and made her sit with Li Hao.
Li Hao was not really interested in the food in this inn. He mostly ate what he had in his space ring.
Sitting here having breakfast just to get some news.
Just like now, someone has come up.
"Thank you for your help." Liu Suixing said to Li Hao with a clenched fist.
"We all joined the Immortal Sect, so we should look after each other." Li Hao gestured for them to sit down. Then he continued, "We should be careful with the people in this town and not provoke them."
"Did you hear that? Don't cause trouble casually." Liu Suixing immediately said to Liu Ruxin.
Then he explained to Li Hao awkwardly, "We encountered some mishaps on the way here. Apart from some clothes, most of our money and belongings were taken away by the servants."
The two of them originally had several servants with them, but they encountered an accident during the journey. Several of the evil servants conspired together and took away their belongings at night and escaped.
"Because we are already halfway there, we might not be able to make it to the Huaqing Sect's disciple-recruiting ceremony if we go back. We can only pawn some items and rush here." Liu Suixing said.
"It seems that you two are very confident about joining the Immortal Sect." Li Hao nodded after listening.
Liu Suixing was not surprised that Li Hao understood what he meant.
Liu Ruxin's face was full of surprise. She asked, "How did you know?"
Li Hao poured a cup of tea and explained, "Those evil servants must have known that you two would definitely join the Immortal Sect, and that you wouldn't return just for the money. That's why they simply absconded with the money."
At the same time, Li Hao also guessed why these people would do this. You know, after arriving at this place, the two of them would enter the immortal gate. But these servants naturally had to go back. There was definitely no benefit in going back and forth like this.
On the contrary, the wealth these two people brought with them was enough for them to make a fortune. I guess they were also certain that they would not pursue them and would not be able to tell their families.
"My sister and I have both triggered our star sense. We received an invitation from Huaqing Sect long before, but because an elder in our family passed away, we didn't go immediately." This is also Liu Suixing's confidence.
He accepted Li Hao's help because he felt confident that he could repay the debt.
"What is star sense?" Li Hao asked.
Liu Suixing explained some basic knowledge of the cultivation world to Li Hao. "Star sense is a kind of perception that only cultivators have..."
Only when one can truly begin cultivation and feel the stars in the sky respond to one's own feelings, and communicate with the heavens and the earth, can one truly begin cultivation. Those who do not have a sense of the stars cannot practice cultivation.
The speed of cultivation is also determined by the state of one's awakened star sense. The Three Enclosures and Four Symbols contain hundreds of stars.
Among the three constants, Ziweiyuan is the most honorable.
Li Hao listened to the explanation coming from the base. Although it was delayed for quite a while, it also told Li Hao that this was also their ancient astrological knowledge.
"What my brother awakened was the most noble Gouchen in the Purple Palace." Liu Ruxin, who had been listening nearby, said proudly.
"... Generally speaking, you will awaken multiple star senses. One main star and multiple auxiliary stars. The more star senses you have, the faster you will cultivate. The more important the position of the main star, the higher your future achievements will be." Liu Suixing said.
"If you want to join the Huaqing Sect, the most basic requirement is to awaken two or more constellations. If you awaken the constellations in the Purple Palace, you can become an outer disciple. The others are menial disciples."
Li Hao felt inexplicably familiar with it. Wow, isn't this the same as the Mage Tower?
"So those who haven't awakened their Star Sense before can't participate?" Li Hao asked. She hadn't awakened yet. Wouldn't that just give her a failing grade?
"Of course not. Only a few people can awaken on their own. Every time Huaqing Sect opens its gates, it will guide everyone to sense the star map. If you fail to awaken the star sense at this step, you will be eliminated. Generally speaking, every time Huaqing Sect opens its gates, only a dozen people can awaken the star sense." There was still some youthful arrogance in Liu Suixing's words.
Li Hao didn't think she would be unable to make it. If she couldn't, she wouldn't have traveled here.
"But I see that you can use such a move, you should have some sense of it." Liu Suixing smiled at Li Hao.
"Maybe." Li Hao took a sip of tea.
"After entering the sect, everyone has to start as an outer disciple so that they can take care of each other if anything happens." Liu Suixing continued.
"Don't worry, I'm here and I will definitely protect you after we go in." Liu Ruxin raised her face. It was obvious that the stars she sensed must be qualified.
More and more people are coming to this small town. It's said that there are at least a thousand people participating every year. Those who can come here have some understanding of the world of cultivation, or believe that they have a destiny to become immortals.
After all, Li Hao landed halfway and it took him two days to fly here. Most people would have to spend a lot of effort to get through this mountain.
The mountain gate finally opened, and Li Hao followed the Liu brothers and sisters to an open space. There was a stone tablet with the three characters "Huaqing Sect" written on it. The ancient characters were also Chinese characters.
Li Hao and the people at the base no longer considered why different worlds had the same writing and language. Li Hao wouldn't be surprised if he found someone who looked just like him in another world.
There is a very thick fog inside this place. I guess Huaqing Sect is behind the fog.
Li Hao originally thought that the thick fog would clear, and then they would have to spend some effort to climb up, and those who lacked perseverance would be eliminated.
But a gentle and soft voice sounded.
"Open the mountain gate."
Then a light appeared in their clearing.
Everyone floated up. Then, as if being pulled by a string, they were pulled onto a stone platform.
During the process, Li Hao could feel that something was pulling her, and she could cut off this pulling.
When they arrived at the stone platform, several people were waiting for them.
Li Hao knew at a glance that these were the cultivators of this world.
She was estimating the abilities of these people, and wondered if they would discover her spiritual power. Ever since she knew this world was a world of cultivation, Li Hao had been restraining her spiritual power, fearing she would be discovered.
There was a red light flowing in Li Hao's deep brown eyes as he looked at these cultivators.
"...What do you think? How many people will come out this year?" Cui Li said. But after waiting for a while, the junior fellow student beside him did not respond. "Zhang Huai, what's wrong with you?"
"I feel like something is watching us." Zhang Huai came back to his senses and said.
"Aren't the people below looking at us?" Cui Li said in confusion, feeling that his junior brother was acting strangely.
"It's different." Zhang Huai said.
