On the first floor of the inn, Chen Ke and Xiao Jiu met the group of practitioners they met before.
Chen Ke sat down with Xiaojiu and ordered a table of delicious food.
When the group of practitioners saw Chen Ke, one of them said to the young master: "Brother, your friend is here."
The young master smiled helplessly and said: "How many times have I told you that he is not my friend? Don't talk nonsense before others hear you."
"Do you think that little girl is his sister or his daughter? She's so beautiful." A female cultivator looked at Xiao Jiu and was attracted by Xiao Jiu's cute elf appearance, her eyes full of love.
"Don't mind other people's business. We still have important things to do. Don't waste time on the road. After everyone has a rest, we will continue on the road in two hours." The oldest middle-aged man in the group said.
But the female cultivator came to Chen Ke with a smile, looked at Xiao Jiu and asked: "Little sister, what is your name?"
Xiaojiu looked up at the female cultivator. Just when he was about to say that she was King Xiaojiu, Chen Ke said first, "What is the purpose of fellow Taoist asking for her name?"
Staying cautious when going out is Chen Ke's first priority.
The female cultivator smiled and said, "My name is Zhu Feier. I'm from over there. I saw how cute the little sister next to you is, so I wanted to come and talk to her."
Quite honest. Chen Ke saw that Zhu Feier had no intention of deceiving, nodded slightly and said: "She is the ninth in the family, just call her Xiaojiu."
"King Xiaojiu!" Xiaojiu said while holding a piece of chicken leg next to him.
"Giggle...Little Nine King, what a cute name!" Zhu Feier said with a smile.
Xiao Jiu devoured the chicken legs, and then held a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in his hand, like a snack food, he kept mouthing.
Seeing Xiao Jiu eating and drinking, Zhu Fei'er didn't feel a little hungry herself. After talking to Xiao Jiu for a while, she returned to her table and started eating too.
Chen Ke didn't eat much, but he didn't eat much, but it was still much less than Xiao Jiu.
Fortunately, Chen Ke ordered a lot of dishes, enough for the two of them to finish.
For practitioners, especially those in the Taoist realm, it is no longer possible to replenish the energy needed by the body by eating. Only by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and refining it into spiritual energy can the spiritual energy needed by the body be met.
Eating is not necessary. If you rely solely on eating to replenish the spiritual energy consumed by your body, you will probably have to eat a lot. Serving for a hundred people or a thousand people is far from enough.
Moreover, some meals contain very little spiritual energy, and even if you eat them, your spiritual power will not increase. Eating such a meal will not help.
After eating, Chen Ke took Xiaojiu on the road again. There was no need to rest. He also wanted to get to Qingmu Sect earlier.
After traveling all the way and flying thousands of miles, two huge mountains in front of us lifted up from the sky, and there was only a gap between the two mountains to fly over.
Just when Chen Ke and Xiao Jiu were preparing to go there, they suddenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of them, blocking their flight.
"What is it, blocking the road?" Chen Ke said, raising his hand and punching him.
boom!
The surroundings were like ripples on the water, spreading out in circles.
Among the clouds below, a middle-aged man with a flying sword flew up immediately. When the man saw Chen Ke, he activated the flying sword under his feet and quickly arrived in front of Chen Ke.
"Fellow Taoist, there is a mountain barrier above, and the entrance is below. Please come with me." The middle-aged man said to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke nodded and followed the middle-aged man to fly down.
After landing on the ground, Chen Ke looked around.
In front of him was a small city. A huge city gate was built between two mountains, surrounding the two mountains. There were many practitioners holding weapons standing at the gate of the city, all of them with solemn expressions.
The middle-aged man pointed to the long queue and said, "Go and queue up."
The middle-aged man did not wait for Chen Ke to ask, and flew into the sky again, penetrated into the clouds, and disappeared.
Near the city gate, there were several teams lined up, with nearly a hundred people in each team. Chen Ke frowned slightly. He took a look at the mountain in front of him and wondered whether it would be faster to queue here or go around the mountain.
Chen Ke just prepared an ordinary route map, and only roughly recorded the environment on the road. For example, the mountains in front of him were not recorded on the map.
Just as Chen Ke was thinking about it, the group of practitioners he met in the small town also fell from the sky.
When Zhu Feier saw Xiao Jiu, her eyes lit up and she greeted Xiao Jiu with a smile: "Little sister, we meet again."
"Yeah." Xiaojiu replied.
Xiaojiu is not that kind of cold and arrogant monster. She will speak to anyone who speaks to her. She is very lovable.
Chen Ke saw Feier Zhu and asked, "Excuse me, friend, are you familiar with this place?"
Before Zhu Feier could answer, the middle-aged man next to her said, "Go around? Didn't fellow Taoist people come to Shuangshan to seek opportunities?"
"Opportunity?" Chen Ke was startled and said, "What chance? I was passing by here on the way."
Zhu Feier said: "Fellow Taoist, Shuangshan has released news in the monastic world, saying that there is an immortal trace appearing, and inviting practitioners from all over the world to come together to hunt for treasures."
You discovered a magical opportunity and didn’t want to hide it, but instead invited others to hunt for the treasure together?
Why does Chen Ke think this is a problem?
Seeing Chen Ke's thoughtful expression, the young master said aloud, "Fellow Taoist, have you also noticed the difference here?"
Chen Ke saw that this group of people did not seem to be malicious people, so he said: "Yes, if you find a treasure, you have to keep it yourself. How can you publicize it to the outside world, or even invite people from all over the world to come? I don't understand. "
The middle-aged man said: "This matter is complicated. Shuangshan is not a sect, but is composed of many small sects. Even if they want to hide it, other people will still leak the news, and they still cannot stop the strong ones. Come here to look for opportunities to find celestial beings. The people in Shuangshan may feel that it is better to block it than to open it up, so they directly announced it to the world and let all practitioners come and explore it."
Another young man in the team said: "Fortunately, many people have gone to the Qingmu Sect. I heard that the big sects outside the mountain went to the Qingmu Sect to preach, and those with strong cultivation levels all went. The people here are not good at cultivation. Strong, we have a great chance of getting the chance of a miracle!"
The middle-aged man said with a straight face: "You cannot force opportunities. Don't be happy too early."
"Yes, disciple knows." The young man lowered his head and said.
"Fellow Taoist, let's go take a look together?" the middle-aged man said.
Chen Ke said: "I still have something to do and I don't plan to go see it."
Zhu Feier asked: "Are you planning to go to Qingmu Sect?"
Chen Ke did not hide anything and said directly: "Yes, I heard that the sect outside the mountain is coming, and I also want to take a look."
Zhu Feier shook her head and said: "Fellow Taoist, it's not me who is attacking you. Your cultivation level is at the Taoist level. Do you have the support of powerful practitioners behind you?"
Chen Ke said: "Not yet."
Zhu Feier said: "Do you have any friendship with the four major sects?"
Chen Ke thought for a while, concealed part of the truth, and said: "There is no friendship."
Zhu Feier spread her hands and said: "Without the protection of a strong person and without friendship, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter the mountain gate of Qingmu Sect, so you might as well look for opportunities here."
Chen Ke said: "I have to give it a try. What if I can do it?"
"Haha, Taoist friend is right, if it can happen!" the young master said with a smile.
"Oh, forget it, I won't advise you anymore." Zhu Feier shook her head and sighed.
On the city wall not far away.
An old man in dark green clothes looked at the crowd below, frowned slightly, and said to the middle-aged man following him: "There don't seem to be enough people!"
The middle-aged man said: "We have already released the news, but the reputation of the Immortal Trails in the two mountains is too small, and no one cares about it at all. It can only attract some small sects from around!"
"Let them enter the city as soon as possible. They won't have to wait too long inside!" the old man said in a deep voice.
The middle-aged man replied: "Yes, but if we do this, will we become a public enemy of the monastic community?"
The old man sneered and said: "We have already informed you in advance what kind of dangers there are in the Immortal Trail. We are not forcing them to go in if they are willing to go in. As for whether they can come out alive or not, it has nothing to do with us."
"If they knew the truth..." The middle-aged man had a trace of worry on his face.
The old man looked at the middle-aged man and said: "The truth, what is the truth? There are all kinds of crises in the fairyland. Didn't we remind them? They insist on entering. It doesn't matter to us. As long as we can get together to open it, With the conditions of the Immortal Trail, our Gufeng Sect can become a top sect like the four major sects! A little sacrifice is nothing!"
"Yes, I understand." The middle-aged man said.
The old man looked at the middle-aged man and said: "Serve the sect well, and you will take over as the sect leader after me!"
"I will work hard for the sect!" the middle-aged man said seriously.
Below, Chen Ke asked Zhu Feier and the others about the route around Shuangshan, and then took Xiaojiu to fly to the sky, preparing to go around Shuangshan to Qingmu Sect.
"Someone flew away!"
The middle-aged man was slightly startled when he saw Chen Ke flying away with Xiao Jiu. He looked at the old man and said, "Will that person know our plan?"
The old man looked at the direction where Chen Ke was flying away and frowned: "He probably doesn't know that sending someone to lead him down is a person who can give up the magic. I want to see what's different about him."
"Yes." The middle-aged man replied and immediately sent someone to stop Chen Ke.
Chen Ke had just flown thirty miles away when he felt someone coming quickly behind him.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay." The other party shouted to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke did not stop and accelerated forward. When the people behind him saw this, they immediately activated their flying swords and quickly caught up, blocking Chen Ke in front of him.
Chen Ke looked at these people and asked, "Who are you? Block my way."
One of them raised his hands and said: "We are the guards of the small town below. Why don't fellow Taoists go to participate in the celestial beings, but leave with others?"
Chen Ke was unhappy after hearing this. The man had a smile on his face, but he looked questioning.
"I need to explain to you." Chen Ke replied indifferently.
