Chen Ke, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and wearing an ordinary coarse cloth, followed Ye Mingyue into the Five Directions Hall.
There were several people standing in the hall, and facing Chen Ke was a middle-aged man in green robe standing on the innermost steps.
There were three other people standing at the bottom of the steps, and they all took a look when they saw someone coming in.
Behind Ye Mingyue, followed a handsome young man, about twenty years old, wearing blue clothes and carrying a box made of bamboo baskets.
This young man looked around, looking very alert.
Chen Ke also looked at the three people who were looking at him. Standing on the left was a woman wearing a purple gown with green clouds embroidered on it. She has an exquisite figure, and a dark purple belt girds her waist. She is slender and graceful, like a fairy descending from the earth.
The woman's appearance is even more outstanding, with a pair of distant dark eyebrows, and underneath are a pair of smart full moon eyes, looking at Chen Ke with an interesting look.
Her high nose bridge, strong nose tip, and pink thin lips were perfectly printed on her fair and pretty face.
"Clear water brings out hibiscus, and nature removes the carvings."
But her big moon eyes made Chen Ke feel that her character must be very out-of-the-box. The person doesn't speak, and the smile is all about his eyes.
Of the two men on the right, the young man in white in front has extraordinary bearing and a handsome face. The man behind was wearing Tsing Yi and looked older, only thirty years old. He was quite mature and had a fierce temperament.
"His name is Chen Ke, and he will be your junior brother for the time being." The middle-aged man in green robe said slowly.
"You should know Mingyue, she is your senior sister." The middle-aged man in green robe introduced everyone.
"This is your second senior brother, his name is Fang Xuyuan." The middle-aged man in green robe pointed at the young man in white and then pointed at the man in green and the beautiful woman: "His name is Huang Zunluo, and her name is Xuanxuan."
"We have another fifth junior brother. Hello, junior brother, call me senior sister." Xuanxuan laughed, her moon eyes became crescents, making her look even more elf-like.
"Fifth Junior Brother." Fang Xuyuan said lightly, not paying much attention to Chen Ke. Instead, he glanced at Ye Mingyue, looked away and said no more.
"Fifth Junior Brother, let's talk about Taoism together when we have time." Huang Zunluo smiled.
"Dear senior brothers and senior sister, hello." Chen Ke said.
The middle-aged man in green robe said: "My name is Wufang Taoist. You can call me whatever you want, whether it's Master or an experienced Taoist."
Fang Xuyuan and others were slightly surprised when they heard that Taoist priests from five directions loved Chen Ke so much. Ye Mingyue also took another look at Chen Ke, and then withdrew his cold gaze.
"It's good that you get to know each other. After some time, I will teach you Taoism and help you practice!" Taoist Master Wufang gave Chen Ke a deep look.
"I understand." Chen Ke bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, Master."
"Okay, let's disperse. Zun Luo stays, and I will guide you in your practice today." Taoist Master Wufang looked at the man in green.
A smile appeared on Huang Zunluo's face: "Thank you, Master."
Several other people waved their hands to say goodbye and turned to leave.
Ye Mingyue walked to Chen Ke and said, "Don't disturb the master's teaching of Taoism. Come out."
Xuanxuan leaned over with a smile, with a look that would make anyone feel ashamed on her beautiful face: "Junior brother, why are you carrying a bamboo basket on your back? That's so interesting. Are you a seller?"
Chen Ke said: "I am a country man, and I usually do small business with others."
After hearing this, Ye Mingyue's eyes showed a strange look, but she didn't ask and strode away.
Fang Xuyuan looked at the direction Ye Mingyue was leaving, paused slightly, and followed him. Chen Ke also wanted to catch up with Ye Mingyue and ask, but this ridiculously beautiful Xuanxuan was very attracted to him. Interested, follow him and ask questions.
"Where are you from?"
"Is there anyone else in your family?"
"Are you really here to become a disciple and practice?"
Chen Ke turned around and looked at Xuanxuan. Her bright smiling eyes made Chen Ke unable to bear to scold her: "Senior sister, I am alone. I admire the master's immortal magic and Taoism, so I came here to learn from him."
"Giggle..." Xuanxuan lightly covered her mouth, "I don't believe it. Junior brother, remember to live longer, I'm leaving."
Xuanxuan smiled like a nimble butterfly, leaping into the distance with a few steps.
Chen Ke looked around at the mountains, rivers, and clouds. He had really come to the world of practitioners, but this was not the way he wanted to come!
Practice, kill this master first, and then return to the capital to kill the holy master!
Chen Ke set a goal for himself.
After meeting these people on the first day, Chen Ke never had the chance to see them, even Ye Mingyue. Chen Ke asked Li Kui, but Li Kui just said that Ye Mingyue came to the mountain gate half a year ago and became the leader of the mountain gate. Senior sister.
"No wonder, I only saw Ye Mingyue, but not Xiaoyu and that annoying Hu Laoer." Chen Ke thought about the situation in Lingkong Mountain.
But the more he thought about it, the more weird it made Chen Ke feel. This seemed to be a normal spiritual sect, but everything here was weird.
On the third day, Chen Ke continued to wander around Lingkong Mountain. His Dantian was not open, so he did not need to practice all the time. He was bored and idle. He carried his bamboo basket and wandered around to familiarize himself with the surrounding terrain.
Chen Ke climbed up a hill, and the surrounding vegetation was green. It was completely different from the autumn and winter outside, where the fallen leaves were falling and everything was desolate.
"Junior brother, what are you doing here?"
Xuanxuan's silver bell-like voice sounded on the top of the mountain. A purple tie was tied on her head. The cold wind blew by, and the purple ribbon and her black hair swayed slightly.
"Let me look around, senior sister, what are you doing here?" Chen Ke was surprised to see Xuanxuan. Shouldn't she be practicing in her palace?
"Me?" Xuanxuan smiled, her pretty face full of cunning. She clapped her white hands and said with a smile, "I'm setting up the formation."
"Deploy the formation?" Chen Ke glanced around and said, "What formation."
Regarding the formations, Chen Ke only knew the barrier formations that Ye Mingyue had said. As for the other formations, Chen Ke couldn't help but know what they were.
Xuanxuan smiled and said: "The killing array is specially used to deal with Master!"
After hearing this, Chen Ke was shocked. Could it be that this extremely beautiful Xuanxuan already knew about his grudge against Taoist Wufang and was testing himself to help Taoist Wufang clean up his family?
"Why do you want to kill the master? Do you want to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors, and are you not afraid that I will tell the master?" Chen Ke asked pretending not to understand.
Xuanxuan smiled and jumped in front of Chen Ke. She had a well-proportioned figure and a scent of orchid. She was slightly shorter than Chen Ke.
"Don't you understand?" Xuanxuan half-smiled.
Chen Ke shook his head and said, "I don't understand."
Xuanxuan looked at Chen Ke carefully. The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Chen Ke could already hear Xuanxuan's thin breathing, and could also see the thin transparent hair on Xuanxuan's face.
Chen Ke tilted his head back slightly. The two of them were too close, which made Chen Ke feel inappropriate.
"Since you don't understand, just be a good disciple of Master. I'm leaving. Also, don't tell others about my affairs."
Xuanxuan wandered down the hill.
Chen Ke asked: "Are you really not afraid that I will tell Master."
"It's up to you." Xuanxuan replied mischievously, and she left leisurely like a lark.
Chen Ke was even more confused and thought to himself: "Could it be that she, like me, was coerced by Taoist priests from all directions and brought to the mountain?"
Maybe, maybe not.
Chen Ke would not pin his grievances with Taoist priests from all directions on Xuanxuan, who might be a friend.
The enemy of the enemy is a friend, but Chen Ke is not sure whether the enemy of the enemy is the real enemy.
But there is one thing that Chen Ke needs to confirm, what is going on with Ye Mingyue.
In the afternoon, after an exquisite lunch, Chen Ke strolled to Ye Mingyue's palace. Six servant disciples stood in front of the palace, guarding the door of the hall to prevent others from approaching.
Chen Ke was wandering around, and the handyman disciples glanced at Chen Ke from time to time.
"Who is that?"
"It seems that he is the fifth disciple newly recruited by Zhenzhen. Don't pay too much attention to him."
The handyman disciple who was guarding did not pay attention to Chen Ke.
"Fifth Junior Brother, you are here, making it easy for me to find you."
Huang Zunluo came from the side. He was dressed in green clothes and had a gentle face. He came to Chen Ke's side.
"Third senior brother, what's the matter?" Chen Ke asked.
Huang Zunluo is the master of the third hall and Chen Ke's third senior brother. In the past two or three days, Chen Ke only saw him for the second time.
"Master asked you to follow me to see the spiritual mine, and by the way, let the disciples guarding the spiritual mine recognize you." Huang Zunluo said.
"What is the spiritual mine?" Chen Ke asked. When he first entered the world of cultivation, Chen Ke was confused about everything and didn't understand anything.
Huang Zunluo said with a smile: "Spiritual mines are mineral deposits where spiritual energy condenses into spiritual crystals. When we practice, if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not enough to absorb and refine, we can absorb the spiritual energy in the spiritual crystals. The spiritual crystals are dug out of the spiritual mines. Seed crystals.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Ke asked, "Isn't this spiritual crystal very valuable?"
Huang Zunluo led Chen Ke while walking and said: "Practitioners don't use gold and silver. They usually use spiritual elixirs and spiritual crystals as exchange items, because these two are easier to preserve. But if it is valuable, a first-grade light blue spiritual Jing should be able to exchange it for a gold car. However, no one will exchange it."
Chen Ke's heart beat fast when he heard that one spiritual crystal could be exchanged for one tael of gold. Isn't this spiritual mine equivalent to a gold mine?
Get rich!
Huang Zunluo took Chen Ke down the mountain and headed down the mountain to the west.
"Third Senior Brother, do we have many spiritual crystals in our Immortal Sect?" Chen Ke asked.
Huang Zunluo said: "Fifth Junior Brother, we are not an immortal sect. The hierarchy of cultivating sects is very strict. Strictly speaking, we are not a sect now. We can only be said to be an ordinary gang. If you call us a sect, we are already considered very good. Don’t talk about the Immortal Sect anymore, you will easily be laughed at.”
Chen Ke nodded and thought to himself: The Taoists from the five directions are so powerful, they are not even immortal sects. How strong is the Immortal Sect before it can be called an Immortal Sect?
After going down the mountain, and walking for more than twenty miles to the west, Chen Ke found that the mountains and forests here were full of green, and it was even more strange that they had not experienced the cold winter.
They came to the gate of a fortress-like villa.
