At daybreak, 140 disciples gathered in the Qingxu Hall, waiting for instructions.
There are only eight ancient scrolls left in the Qingxu Sword Sect. In addition to the "Covering Grass Sutra", seven peaks each hold an ancient scroll, which has been passed down from generation to generation. The other peaks have no ancient scrolls, and they have been resentful for many years, so there is no need to elaborate.
Among these peaks without ancient scrolls, some have blazed their own trails, stood out from the crowd, and finally became famous, such as Wangyue Peak and Beiyan Peak. Of course, there are also those that stagnated and gradually declined, such as Hongxiu Peak and Huishi Peak.
Among the eight ancient scrolls, the "Covering Grass Sutra" is not ranked high, but ordinary exercises cannot be compared with it. Its most useful effect is to refine the "wood" attribute spiritual roots, making cultivation faster and less likely to have bottlenecks.
Gao Yan was a person of four spiritual roots, and he should not have been able to advance past the tenth level of Qi training in this life. After practicing the "Covering Grass Sutra", he reached the late stage of foundation building and lived to be 231 years old.
All spiritual root purification techniques are very rare because they can change the nature of a person's spiritual roots and go against the will of heaven. Unfortunately, the effect of the "Covering Grass Sutra" in refining spiritual roots is limited, so Gao Yan could not form a pill until his death.
It is worth mentioning that after refining the wood spiritual roots, Gao Yan became interested in cultivating spiritual herbs and became the leading spiritual herb master of the Qingxu Sword Sect. He spent his life playing with flowers and grass, being calm and not competing, and had more immortal temperament than other peak masters.
Xi Fang said: "It just so happens that the secret realm of Eight Wind Cliff is opening. The peak masters have discussed and decided that, including the 72 selected people, each peak will send 10 people to the secret realm of Eight Wind Cliff for trials. If anyone finds the 'Distant Wood Spirit Stone', he will be the inheritor of the 'Covering Grass Sutra'. If not, after returning, these 72 people will compete to determine the winner."
Everyone dared not speak, and watched silently.
The secret realm is the residence left behind by ancient monks after their death or ascension. There are various magic weapons, magic herbs, monsters, and elixirs, but they are guarded by formations, and ordinary people cannot enter. After hundreds and thousands of years, the formations gradually became ineffective, and the secret realm occasionally opened, and major sects and independent cultivators swarmed in to compete for magic weapons, which was extremely tragic.
The secret place of Bafeng Cliff is located 500 miles away from Xunyang Mountain Range. It is opened about once every ten years. The magic weapons have been looted long ago, but the secret place is rich in spiritual energy, with spiritual herbs and monsters growing everywhere. Every hundred years, a kind of spiritual stone called "Distant Wood" will be born, which is extremely beneficial to the practice of wood-type cultivators.
Wen Jing pricked up his ears and listened to every word.
This was the most important trip before Jun Yanzhi became famous.
After this trial, Jun Yanzhi's practice, love, and reputation have developed by leaps and bounds.
It is also the last chance for Ji Keqing and Jun Yanzhi.
In short, he must hide far away this time so as not to delay his senior brother's business.
"There are seven peaks, including Wangyue and Beiyan, that do not have ancient scrolls, so we will set out today to enter the secret realm to explore. The remaining seven peaks will set out ten days later."
In other words, for the peaks that do not have ancient scrolls, the sect leader will give them ten more days to find the "Dongmu". If they are still found by other peaks, it means that they are not capable enough and cannot blame others.
Wen Jing has always felt that Xi Fang is a very fair person and has a good impression of him. He once checked the character value of this person, which fluctuated around 500. The system's description was "living up to the expectations of the people and devoting himself to the sect".
Wen Jing didn't know how the system worked. Sometimes it was accurate, and sometimes it was not. Is there an exact standard?
"If there is no objection, let's all go. Wangyue, Beiyan and other peaks will set out immediately."
"Yes!"
After Xi Fang left, Liu Qianmo gathered everyone together: "I was wondering last night whether they would let us go to the Eight Wind Cliff Secret Realm for a trial, and I didn't expect it to be true."
Third Senior Brother Peng Shao said: "I heard that the Far Wood Spirit Stone was found in the Changchun Valley area. " Gui Xinbi said:
"Where is Changchun Valley?"
He Ling looked at him coldly: "Turn left after entering the gate."
Gui Xinbi was surprised: "Really?"
"Really, there is a sign hanging."
"You!" Gui Xinbi's face sank.
Liu Qianmo said angrily: "You guys be honest! The terrain of Eight Wind Cliff is complicated, and I am the only one who has been to Changchun Valley. You all follow closely - are you all ready?"
Everyone nodded.
"Let's go!"
Ten people left Qingxu Hall and flew in the air.
Li Shu, who ranked sixth, was a little uneasy and asked carefully: "Are we going now? My junior brother Mo and I are only at the sixth level of Qi training. Isn't it too dangerous?"
Peng Shao was a good man and explained: "The secret realm of Bafeng Cliff has been opened more than 20 times, and all the magic weapons and elixirs have been looted. Except for the 'Distant Tree', there is not much value to fight for. Now that place is where all the major sects test their Qi training disciples, there will be no danger."
Wen Jing said nothing, thinking that you are only half right. With the male protagonist around, how could things be so smooth?
Mo Shaoyan said slowly: "I took all the magic weapons last night."
"Well..."
It takes about two days to go to Bafeng Cliff. The group traveled hard all day, exhausted from their low cultivation, and settled down in an inn in a small town at night.
In order to save spirit stones, Liu Qianmo only asked for four rooms, with two or three people sleeping in one room.
He Ling has a cleanliness habit and can't stand noise, let alone snoring. His martial arts value is too high, and only Liu Qianmo or Jun Yanzhi can handle it, so Liu Qianmo lives in the same room with him.
Wen Jing and Li Shu, Gu Jinping, and Mo Shaoyan usually have a good time together, and originally planned to chat in a room at night. When they were discussing excitedly, they were discovered by Liu Qianmo, who pulled Wen Jing and Mo Shaoyan out.
Peng Shao discussed sharing a room with Jun Yanzhi, but before they decided, Liu Qianmo separated them, leaving Mo Shaoyan to Peng Shao and Wen Jing to Jun Yanzhi.
So that night, Wen Jing and Jun Yanzhi shared a room.
Wen Jing put the storage bag on the table and said a little awkwardly: "Jun, Jun, Senior Brother."
Jun Yanzhi glanced at him and said: "It's getting late, go take a shower and go to bed."
"Okay." Wen Jing took out a set of clean clothes from the storage bag and ran out like a flash.
There is a bathroom in the inn, which is actually just a small room with a large vat filled with water. It was early spring, the water was cold, and almost no one was willing to take a bath. Wen Jing was used to taking cold showers, so he scooped water from the large vat, poured it over his head, and rubbed his body from head to toe.
When he returned to the room, Jun Yanzhi was wet, as if he had just finished a bath.
"... I was just about to ask the inn to send bath water to the room, but I didn't expect you to run so fast."
"Uh... forget it, I'm used to using a big ladle to scoop water for washing."
Jun Yanzhi sat on the bed, his clothes half loose, revealing a bit of seductive beauty: "It's late, let's go to sleep."
Wen Jing's body flushed, and she didn't dare to move forward, but her eyes involuntarily fell on Jun Yanzhi's collar.
The light was too dim, and she couldn't see clearly...
Such a beautiful shape... Is it the collarbone of senior brother? It was faintly visible, making people's heart beat faster...
"Are you not going to sleep yet? " "
Hmm..." Wen Jing's face flushed, and she couldn't help looking at his neck.
"Come up to sleep."
"Hmm..."
"Do you want to sleep outside or inside?" The voice was gentle, with a hint of hoarseness.
"I..."
Wen Jing came back to his senses, stepped forward awkwardly to extinguish the candle, and fumbled to pick up a pillow and quilt from the bed. He spread it on the ground and said, "Senior brother, sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."
Jun Yanzhi pursed his lips tightly.
"Senior brother, go to sleep." Wen Jing closed his eyes and his face flushed. Senior Brother Jun is so beautiful, even his collarbone is so beautiful, which makes his heart beat fast...
But he is the male protagonist, so he can't be presumptuous, absolutely not.
After thinking about it, Wen Jing calmed down and adjusted his breathing, and didn't turn his head to look at him. After a hard day's journey, his body was tired, and he fell into a deep sleep soon.
ยท
The next evening, the group finally arrived at Qingmu Town, not far from the Eight Wind Cliff.
The secret realm was opened, and the inn was full of people. Liu Qianmo reluctantly booked two rooms, and ten people slept together for a night.
Most of the disciples of Qingxu Sword Sect arrived around dusk. According to the store owner, dozens of disciples of Shuiyue Palace also came here a few days ago to practice here. If they enter the Eight Wind Cliff tomorrow, they might bump into them.
Shuiyue Palace is the largest sect in Fengzhu Country. It promotes dual cultivation and has a mixed population of men and women. The women are charming and beautiful, and everyone has heard about it for a long time.
The most charming and attractive woman can best reflect the male protagonist's calmness.
Wen Jing actually doesn't like this sect very much, but since it exists, there must be a reason and value for its existence.
The next morning, the group left the inn and came to an ancient teleportation formation.
The ancient trees that were hundreds of years old are towering, the ice and snow are melting, and the ancient formation is surrounded by a layer of new green, making a deafening sound.
The female disciples of Wangyue Peak went ahead and gathered in front of the ancient formation.
Wen Jing glanced at Ji Keqing, who was dressed in purple. Her face was as cold as ice, and her beauty was stunning. She was indeed the most beautiful woman in the Qingxu Sword Sect.
They shook hands and stood on the ancient formation. There was a loud noise, and a strong white light was emitted in the air. After about half an incense stick of time, the light source dissipated, and the figure disappeared without a trace.
Most of the people in Huishi Peak saw the teleportation formation for the first time, and they all looked curious.
Gu Jinping said, "What does it feel like when you are teleporting?"
Peng Shao said, "All five senses are lost. You can't see, hear, or touch anything. You only feel that there is a whirring sound in your consciousness, as if it wants to tear you apart."
Liu Qianmo stepped onto the ancient formation and said, "Come on."
Wen Jing stepped forward and shook hands with the person next to him. He took a deep breath and secretly adjusted his breathing and concentrated his mind.
Next, it was the first battle of his life.
The brothers didn't know that at the other end of the ancient formation, an extremely tragic life-and-death struggle was going on.
"The five senses gradually returned, and Jun Yanzhi only heard the collision of weapons and continuous screams. Suddenly, his body lost weight and fell to the ground. He quickly opened his eyes, but saw a blade flying towards the seriously injured Ji Keqing. Jun Yanzhi released a stream of spiritual energy from his hand and knocked the blade off course. Ji Keqing's chest was full of blood. Jun Yanzhi frowned slightly, flew forward, pulled Ji Keqing up, and rushed out of the chaos."
