Chapter 162: Qingzhou's first walking beast, mountain and sea beast... Bai Ze
"Little Penglai in the Clouds?"
Lu Chen was a little surprised when he heard these words from Zhong Yaojun.
Because Yu Tianqi had told him before that Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division was located on the Sky Island.
But Lu Chen had no idea where this sky island was or why it existed.
Seeing Lu Chen's puzzled expression, Zhong Yaojun immediately explained: "The so-called Little Penglai is actually a paradise specially opened up by the Mountain and Sea Division."
"In addition to being the headquarters of each state's Shanhai Division, it is also the only channel for each state to enter the Shanhai Realm."
"So in a sense, Little Penglai is a transit station, the middle ground between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the real world."
"But you don't need to know too much about Little Penglai. What I want to tell you today is actually about the strange beasts in the mountains and seas."
"After all, there are all kinds of strange beasts in the mountains and seas, and fighting is not the only way to subdue them."
"Even if you can defeat some special mountain and sea beasts, if you cannot meet certain conditions, you will not be able to subdue them."
"Take my mountain and sea beast Pulao as an example. If you want to subdue it, you must meet two prerequisites."
“First, we have the strength to defeat it head-on and gain its recognition.”
"Second, one must possess the blood of the dragon race, or cultivate similar skills and magical powers."
"If any of these two conditions are not met, it will be impossible to sign a contract with Pulao."
"Besides that, some special mountain and sea beasts don't even require you to fight them."
"As long as you can meet certain conditions, they will be willing to sign a contract with you."
"In the history of our company, there are many cases where we have gained recognition from mountain and sea beasts without ever having fought in battle."
"After all, the strange beasts of the mountains and seas are, in a sense, the embodiment of the great Dao of heaven and earth. Therefore, if they want to improve their own status, they must accomplish things that are in line with their own status."
"So cultivation and aptitude are not the only criteria for the mountain and sea beasts to choose to travel with. Character, bloodline, and even the illusory fate are all the criteria for whether the mountain and sea beasts are willing to sign a contract with you."
"This is also why there is a saying that there is a degree of compatibility between walking in the mountains and seas and the strange beasts in the mountains and seas."
"Among the three of you, Mu should have the lowest difficulty in matching, because the Phoenix Tribulation cultivator is not only famous among cultivators, but also has a great reputation among the strange beasts of the mountains and seas."
“So once Mu enters the Mountain and Sea Realm, she doesn’t even need to do anything. Those mountain and sea beasts that are suitable for Phoenix Tribulation cultivators will naturally come to her and rush to complete the contract with her.”
"At that time, Student Mu only needs to choose one of the mountain and sea beast contracts according to his own situation."
"And Mr. Lu's situation is similar. After all, the Hedao realm in the foundation-building period is also extraordinary."
"As long as your fate is right, most of the exotic beasts in the Mountain and Sea Realm can be chosen by you at will."
"It's your choice which mountain and sea beast to sign a contract with."
"As for Zuo, it's a bit more troublesome because you don't have Mu's special talent, nor Lu's terrifying qualifications. So I can't say whether you can find a suitable contract with a mountain and sea beast. It all depends on luck."
"Okay, I've said almost everything I need to say. You will know the details when you arrive at Little Penglai."
"After such a trial, I think you must be tired. Go back and have a good rest."
Hearing this, Lu Chen and the others nodded, then immediately stood up and left Zhong Yaojun's office.
As soon as he came out, Zuo Qiuzi took the initiative to show his goodwill to Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye and said, "Brother Lu, sister Mu, you already know my contact information. If you have any questions about the Taoist Academy in the future, you can always ask me. Don't be afraid of trouble."
"After all, although I am only a student of Shangqing Taoist Academy, I still know something about other Taoist academies."
"Okay, please help, Senior Zuo."
"Minor problem, I'll contact you later!"
"Um."
After saying goodbye to Zuo Qiuzi, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye quickly found Yu Tianqi in the corridor.
"Uncle Tian."
Yu Tianqi looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Let's go. I'll take you to eat something first, and then have fun here for two days. After that, I'll take you to the Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division headquarters."
"Believe me, when you see the Little Penglai of Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division, you will definitely be shocked."
Hearing this, Mu Xiaoye immediately said eagerly: "Uncle Tian, choose the expensive one, you must choose the expensive one! Xiao Lu lost a dinner to me today, let's try to make him bankrupt!"
Yu Tianqi looked at the cheerful Mu Xiaoye and said with a smile, "Hahaha, OK, then let's go have a big meal today!"
“Yeah!”
In a hot pot restaurant somewhere in Linjiang.
"Uncle Tian, I heard from them that your mountain and sea beast is a six-level Wuzhiqi. Can you tell me how you subdued it?"
Lu Chen, who was waiting for the hot pot to be served, took this opportunity to ask.
Before, when I didn’t know the specific details of the strange beasts in the mountains and seas.
Lu Chen thought that the only difference between the strange beasts in the mountains and seas was their cultivation.
But after experiencing the walking trial of Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division.
Lu Chen has already understood that what the strange beasts of mountains and seas really value is actually their respective destinies.
The six-level Wuzhiqi is the highest-level beast among the mountains and seas known to Lu Chen.
You know, even Zhong Yaojun's sea monster Pulao is only at the seven-element level.
Yan Lei, who is only in the foundation-building stage, relies on the nine-star-level mountain and sea monster Kuiniu.
They can force themselves to use the sword domain of the Hedao realm in order to win.
You should know that Lu Chen only needed to use the sword domain when dealing with Jindan stage cultivators before.
In the ordinary foundation-building stage, let alone using the sword domain, sometimes he can't even use the sword intent.
One can imagine how great the impact of exotic beasts from the mountains and seas on cultivators is.
And Yan Lei, who is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and a Nine-Shining-level mountain and sea monster, is still like this.
Lu Chen couldn't even imagine how terrifying Yu Tianqi would be, as he was in the Jindan stage and possessed the six-level mountain and sea beast Wuzhiqi.
If we only talk about Wuzhiqi, most people may not have any idea about it.
But if you change the name, many people will know the value of these three words "Wuzhiqi".
The prototype of the Monkey King Sun Wukong in Journey to the West is Wuzhiqi.
It is said that the more you know, the more you will respect others.
After understanding this, Lu Chen had almost understood Yu Tianqi's true strength.
Yu Tianqi in his prime was definitely the top existence in the Jindan period.
It is even possible that one can achieve the level of Golden Core and be on par with Yuanying stage cultivators.
There is no doubt that Yu Tianqi, who possesses the six-level mountain and sea beast Wuzhiqi, definitely has such strength.
So Lu Chen was very curious about how Yu Tianqi subdued this top-notch mountain and sea beast.
He was not the only one who was curious about this, Mu Xiaoye next to him was the same.
Faced with the two people's strong desire for knowledge, Yu Tianqi did not hide anything.
"How did I subdue Wuzhiqi? The process was indeed a bit special."
"Old Zhong should have told you that in order to subdue a certain mountain and sea beast, sometimes in addition to having sufficient cultivation strength, you also need to meet some other conditions, right?"
Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye nodded, indicating that they already knew this.
"Then guess what else is needed to subdue Wuzhiqi besides having a certain level of strength?"
Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye looked at each other, and then began to think.
When they learned about Wuzhiqi.
Wuzhiqi is a vicious creature in the water. It is not only powerful but also has a wild character.
Combining these characteristics, Mu Xiaoye tentatively said: "Proficient in water-related magical powers, or have a similar bloodline?"
Yu Tianqi shook his head.
Seeing that what he said was wrong, Mu Xiaoye frowned immediately.
Because she felt that what she said was consistent with Wuzhiqi's identity as the "water god" monster.
Lu Chen's idea was similar to Mu Xiaoye's, but it turned out not to be this.
Seeing that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye couldn't guess, Yu Tianqi didn't keep them in suspense and said with a smile: "...It's the alcohol tolerance."
"ah?"
This answer was beyond Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye's expectations.
Relying on drinking to subdue a six-level mountain and sea monster, is this really a joke? Seeing the reactions of the two, Yu Tianqi laughed and said, "In fact, not to mention you, even I didn't expect it at the beginning."
"Because when I entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, my first choice of mountain and sea beast was the Seventh Element Level Bi'an."
"Its fate and abilities were very consistent with me at that time."
"But people are like this, plans can never keep up with changes."
"After I entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, I spent a full half month without being able to find any trace of Bi'an. Instead, when I passed by Tongtian River, I first met Wuzhiqi, who was in charge of that area of water."
"Seeing this, I naturally changed my plan. After all, the 6th-level Wuzhiqi is definitely more challenging than the 7th-level Bi'an."
“Although my strength at that time was not as strong as Xiao Lu’s, after being baptized by the Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division’s Dragon Transformation Pool, my strength at that time was almost equivalent to that of Xiao Ye in the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
"Because of the agreement between the mountain and sea beasts and our company, Wuzhiqi at that time could only use the power of the foundation-building period to fight me. Otherwise, I would not have the courage to challenge a sixth-level mountain and sea beast."
"We fought that battle for three days and three nights, but still couldn't decide the winner."
"Perhaps it was recognition of my strength, or perhaps Wuzhiqi was tired of staying in the Mountain and Sea Realm, so it finally stopped fighting me and instead made a special request."
"It said that if I could beat it in drinking, it would sign a contract with me and become my mountain and sea beast."
"Of course I won't object to this. After all, it is basically impossible for me to subdue a sixth-level mountain and sea monster with my strength alone."
"After that, Wuzhiqi and I drank for ten days by the Tongtian River. I was so dizzy and almost died by the Tongtian River during the first seven days."
"Fortunately, I saw that Wuzhiqi couldn't drink normally, so I immediately played a little trick and played finger-guessing games with it."
"Wuzhiqi has been staying in the Mountain and Sea Realm for many years. He has never played the so-called finger-guessing game before. Naturally, he is no match for me."
"So starting from the seventh day, for every cup I drank, Wuzhiqi would drink three cups."
"In the end, I, your Uncle Tian, relied on my powerful finger-guessing skills and managed to win by drinking!"
"This is how I subdued Wuzhiqi. What do you think? Is this totally unexpected?"
Who would have thought that he could subdue a sixth-level mountain and sea monster by drinking?
However, through this incident, the mystery of the strange beasts from the mountains and seas in the hearts of Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye was suddenly reduced a lot.
Yu Tianqi looked at the two people with strange expressions and said with a smile: "In fact, the strange beasts in the mountains and seas are like this. Before you see them, you will think that they are extraordinary and mysterious, and they are incomparable to ordinary people."
“But once you actually see them, you will find that although the strange beasts of the mountains and seas have different shapes, they are purer than most cultivators, and their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all written on their faces.”
"So when you enter the Mountain and Sea Realm through Little Penglai, you don't have to be too afraid of the strange beasts of the mountains and seas. Just treat them as old otakus with weird personalities."
"And you don't have to blindly believe in the so-called fate level and only pursue the mountain and sea beasts with high fate."
"Because there is a saying that goes, only what suits you is the best."
"There has never been any distinction between strong and weak beasts in the mountains and seas. Each of them is a special beast of heaven and earth, with its own special destiny."
"So instead of excessively pursuing the so-called fate level, I think it is more important to find a mountain and sea beast that suits my fate."
"After all, let's not talk about the distant past. For example, the great master of Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division, Chi Zheng, nicknamed the Evil-Bixing Master, the mountain and sea beast he contracted was only a 'Ten-city-level' beast."
"Before him, no one had ever trained the Mountain and Sea Beast Huan to the Sixth Division level, but he did it."
"So, the fate level of mountain and sea beasts is just a reference. If the fate is not compatible, even if a mountain and sea beast that once reached the six-level level falls into your hands, it may not even reach the nine-level level."
"So before you go to Little Penglai, you'd better think about what your path is and where your future path will lie."
"In this way, you can find the mountain and sea beasts that suit you best."
"By the way, you can contract more than just one mountain and sea beast."
"Once you reach the level of amulet and fully master the fate and ability of a mountain and sea beast, you will no longer need to rely on the mountain and sea scroll to sign a contract with the mountain and sea beast. Instead, you can completely integrate the other party's power into your own body."
"So when you reach the amulet level, the empty mountain and sea scrolls you have can be used to contract new mountain and sea beasts."
"But this is still a long way off for you. After all, to achieve this, you need to have at least the cultivation level of the Spiritual Transformation Stage."
"In the entire Immortal Alliance, only seven Guardians and four Domain Lords have achieved this, a total of eleven people."
"And this is what the Immortal Alliance has accumulated over the past ten thousand years. On average, only one is produced every thousand years."
"Although you two are gifted, no one can say whether you can eventually reach such a height. There is no need to think too much."
"So instead of all this, you should think carefully about what kind of mountain and sea beast is suitable for you."
As Yu Tianqi finished speaking, the dishes they ordered were served.
"Okay, okay, let's eat. We can talk about it tomorrow."
"Traveling through mountains and seas is only the first step in a long journey of cultivation. Now all you have to do is think about the path you want to take, and then take that step firmly."
"Because time will prove your choice."
After hearing this, Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye stopped worrying about it and started eating hot pot.
Five days later, Qingzhou, Prison Dragon City, Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division "Hey, have you heard about the Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division? A sword cultivator in the Hedao realm at the foundation-building stage, how can there be such a monster in this world!"
"You just heard about it? My friend is a walker of Linjiang Mountain and Sea Division, and he happened to be the examiner of that walking trial. He told me all this a long time ago. You don't even know how he described that monster to me."
"How do you describe it?"
"He said that he knew the boy was something special the first time he saw him. And when he reached the third level of the walking trial, everything came true."
"The Sword Domain of the Hedao Realm in the Foundation Establishment Period. Do you know how desperate my friend was at that time? He really didn't have the slightest thought of resisting and just gave in."
"You have to know that in the early days, those who entered the Dao realm were already masters who could establish a sect."
“Although the Immortal Alliance has developed over the years and more and more cultivators have entered the Dao Entry Realm, this is the first time I’ve heard of someone entering the Dao Integration Realm during the Foundation Establishment Period.”
"And it wasn't just that Hedao Realm sword cultivator. I heard that Phoenix Tribulation cultivator also participated in that walking trial."
"Gui Gui, the Phoenix Tribulation cultivators have appeared? Didn't they say that this Phoenix Tribulation cultivator hasn't reached adulthood yet? Time has passed so quickly, she's already in the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"What foundation building stage? She is still in the Qi training stage. But you have heard of the innate magical power of the Phoenix Tribulation cultivator, the Red Flame Phoenix Tribulation."
“Unless one has reached the Golden Core Stage and cultivated the protective Dan Qi, no ordinary person can withstand her Phoenix Tribulation Fire.”
“So even though she was only in the Qi training stage, she still easily passed the walking test in Linjiang.”
At this point, the Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division's walker suddenly thought of something, and shouted to a young cultivator who had just entered the Mountain and Sea Division not far away: "Dongliu, I heard that you had contact with the Phoenix Tribulation cultivator not long ago, and that the Hedao Realm youth had a close relationship with the Phoenix Tribulation cultivator. Have you seen that Hedao Realm youth?"
Jiang Dongliu, who had just returned to Qingzhou headquarters, heard this and immediately replied, "Yes, I have seen him. He is about 90% as good as me."
"Forehead……"
The atmosphere at Qingzhou headquarters, which was originally lively, instantly turned cold after Jiang Dongliu said this.
A straightforward mountain and sea traveler couldn't help but say, "No, Dongliu, although we all know that you are gifted, you haven't yet comprehended the sword realm of the Hedao realm."
"With 90% of your charm, how can you say that?"
In this regard, Jiang Dongliu still had that confident look of "I am the only genius in the world", as if he was the only genius in the world.
"The path of a cultivator is long and difficult. Although I haven't reached the state of unity with the Dao yet, I firmly believe that my future will be better than his."
“…”
Hearing this, some mountain and sea travelers in the Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division headquarters couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Ah, yes, yes, you are right.
You, Jiang Dongliu, are the only genius in the world, and everyone else is just mortal, right?
However, although Jiang Dongliu was arrogant, he did have the capital to be arrogant.
Because he is not only the youngest cultivator who has reached the perfect stage of foundation building in Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division.
And his exotic beasts from the mountains and seas are also extraordinary.
The title of Qingzhou's number one mountain and sea walking trail is well deserved.
But people who can travel through mountains and seas are always a bit arrogant.
A mountain and sea traveler saw Jiang Dongliu being so high-profile and couldn't help but say, "Dongliu, self-confidence is a good thing, but sometimes being too confident is overestimating one's own abilities."
"He is a swordsman who entered the Hedao realm during the Foundation Establishment period. Dongliu, where do you get the confidence to say that you can defeat him?"
"Unless you break through the Jindan stage, or comprehend the method of 'Mountain and Sea Palm Sutra', I can't think of how you can compare with others."
The man who travels through mountains and seas thought that Jiang Dongliu would be a little more restrained after he said this.
But Jiang Dongliu looked at him and said seriously, "I will win."
At first everyone thought Jiang Dongliu was just joking, or just comforting himself.
But after seeing Jiang Dongliu's determined eyes.
They suddenly realized that Jiang Dongliu really believed from the bottom of his heart that he would win.
The arrogance of ordinary people may be due to their ignorance of the immensity of heaven and earth, but Jiang Dongliu's arrogance is a principle that he carries through to the end.
He firmly believed that he would win, not because he looked down on the swordsman at the Hedao realm.
Instead, he felt that even if it was a sword cultivator at the Hedao realm, he would be able to defeat him in the future.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this invincible mentality that Jiang Dongliu has been able to achieve his current success.
He was so invincible that he knew his opponent was a monster who had already mastered the Hedao realm during the Foundation Establishment Period.
Jiang Dongliu still firmly believed that he could win.
This shows how confident he is in himself.
At this point, everyone was speechless.
Looking at the silent crowd, Jiang Dongliu raised his head to look at a fairy boat approaching outside the Qingzhou headquarters and said calmly: "Time... will prove everything."
After he finished speaking, Jiang Dongliu walked directly towards the Hualong Pond at the Qingzhou headquarters.
Because he planned to use the Dragon Pond at the Qingzhou headquarters to help himself achieve the Golden Elixir realm.
He has been stuck in the Foundation Establishment Stage for long enough, and it is time for him to break through.
At the same time, the shadow of a strange beast from the mountains and sea appeared behind Jiang Dongliu.
I saw a white monster with a tiger head, red hair, horns and a dragon body.
Its appearance instantly made those walking inside the Qingzhou headquarters feel an invisible pressure.
Although it is said that there is no distinction between strong and weak beasts from the mountains and seas, there are always some beasts from the mountains and seas that will cause shocks in the Nine Provinces every time they are born.
Bai Ze, the strange beast from the mountains and seas of Jiang Dongliu, is one of the very few special strange beasts from the mountains and seas.
This is also the fundamental reason why he is known as the number one walking man in Qingzhou.
【Name: Bai Ze】
【Position: Eight Poles】
【Fate: Ziwei Diguang】
[Description: There is a beast on Dongwang Mountain, named Bai Ze, which can speak. If a king is virtuous, his light will shine on the distant and distant places.]
At the same time, on the immortal boat that was heading towards Qingzhou headquarters.
"Wow, is this the Little Penglai at Qingzhou headquarters? It's so huge!"
Mu Xiaoye stood at the bow, looking at the small Penglai standing in the clouds not far away, with an excited expression.
Not only him, but even Lu Chen who was standing next to him was also a little amazed at the magnificence of Little Penglai.
The entire little Penglai stood above the sea of clouds, surrounded by colorful rays of light, like a fairyland, away from the world.
However, rather than appreciating the beautiful scenery of this little Penglai, Lu Chen was more looking forward to the Hualong Pond and the mysterious mountain and sea world on this little Penglai.
Because Lu Chen had a hunch that this trip to the Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division headquarters.
His gains might not be much different from his first time stepping into the Hedao realm.
The former can take his potential a step further.
The latter can enable him to gain more powerful strength.
PS: The second update will be after 12 o'clock.
