Early June.
The weather is getting hotter, and there is no cool breeze in the woods.
Yu Ye and Leng Chen were sitting under the shade of the trees in the forest, both looking listless. Although the monks are not afraid of the cold and heat, they wander outside all day long without any solution, which inevitably makes people feel irritable.
At noon, the scorching sun scorches the earth, and bursts of heat waves evaporate, causing the mountains and forests far and near to twist and shake.
"well--"
Leng Chen stretched out his hand to cover his forehead and looked into the distance. He couldn't help but sigh and said via voice: "Junior brother, it is definitely not a good idea to waste time like this!"
The junior brother was sitting not far away, with a bamboo hat woven from tree branches on his head, his eyes closed and silent.
Huh, is he practicing Qigong, or is he pretending to be deaf and dumb?
Deep in the forest, there was another group of monks resting.
Among them were Master Yu and his two disciples, who were also sitting in meditation with their eyes closed. The master of weapon refining was extremely hardworking and led his disciples to practice non-stop every day.
"In the past few days, you and I have accomplished nothing. If Mo Xiao sends someone to inquire, how should we reply?"
Leng Chen took out a wine bottle and sniffed it, put it away again, and continued to complain: "The person we are dealing with this time is not Qin Fengzi from Lanling City, nor the three foundation-building monks from Xuanli Sect, but the Vermillion Bird Sect. Jindan seniors, as well as masters from various immortal sects. There are only eleven people between you and me, not to mention the huge disparity in numbers. To hit an egg with a stone is to seek death. It’s just that I listened to your big words and ordered you to intervene in this matter... "
Facing more and more Immortal Sect disciples every day, witnessing the powerful Suzaku Sect, and imagining the difficulty of destroying the Tianming Dharma Banquet, this senior brother couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He is not a timid person, he is just worried about the safety of his fellow disciples. However, the younger brother's plan made no progress, which made him even more worried!
"Brother!"
Yu Ye finally opened his eyes and said impatiently: "What's the use of nagging you all day long?"
"I'm old, what's wrong with nagging a few words?"
Leng Chen spoke plausibly.
Yu Ye took off the tree branch hat above his head, fanned himself, looked around for a moment, and then said: "I have been exploring Tianming Mountain day and night, but it is difficult to get close to the mountain gate. How about you allow me to try again tonight?" "
"I'm not letting you go into danger alone. I just want to find out your plan."
"We'll worry about it after we go up the mountain."
"Tomorrow is the tenth day of June. Aren't you doing something unnecessary tonight?"
"Senior Brother Leng——"
Leng Chen is like an uncle or elder in Yujia Village. He is afraid that the boys in the village will cause trouble. He not only interferes in everything and interferes in everything, but also nags all day long.
Yu Ye said helplessly: "If Uncle Mo is here, do you have the courage to question it?"
"No!"
Leng Chen told the truth.
When they were both Qi Refining disciples, he was a little afraid of Junior Sister Mo. Now that she has become Uncle Mo, he is even more in awe.
"Why?"
Yu Ye asked.
"A man has hundreds of mouths, but he cannot name one. Only the venerable follow, and only the wise follow. Nothing can be accomplished without enforcing orders and prohibitions!"
"Senior brother, I admire you!"
"Haha, I have been practicing for a hundred years. Although I have not discovered the mysteries of the immortal way, I still understand some simple principles."
Leng Chen twirled his beard and smiled slightly, then wanted to say something modest about himself, but suddenly he widened his eyes and said: "Little junior brother——"
Yu Ye stretched out his hand and covered his head with a tree branch hat, and said, "I am acting on behalf of Senior Uncle Mo. Please obey Senior Brother Leng's orders!" After saying this, he closed his eyes and stopped making any sound.
"snort!"
Leng Chen snorted and said helplessly: "You seem to be a clumsy-tongued kid, but you know how to pick up people's teeth. It's the so-called, use my words to defeat me, haha..."
The red sun sets in the west.
A crescent moon climbed up the horizon.
As night falls, the sweltering heat of the summer has eased a bit.
Yu Ye and Leng Chen walked out of the forest.
The town not far away was already brightly lit. The dirt streets were noisy with people coming and going. Suddenly, the small villages and towns seemed to have the hustle and bustle of a capital city.
Although the Tianming Dharma Banquet is still a month away, the Zhuque Gate will open its gate tomorrow to receive guests from all walks of life. So Immortal disciples from all over the place gathered one after another, just to have an early glimpse of the Immortal Family in Tianming Mountain.
"How many people should be here?"
"There are five to six hundred people!"
"On the ninth day of July, wouldn't there be more people?"
"Hundreds of immortal sects gather here, and the number can reach thousands. If we include the disciples of the Suzaku Sect, there should be one or two thousand people."
"Senior Brother Leng, is this your first time here?"
"Um!"
"Master Yu..."
While Yu Ye and Leng Chen were wandering on the street, they found a group of people gathered in front of the inn.
In the crowd were actually sitting the Heavenly Master and his two disciples, with a straw mat spread on the ground and a bunch of things placed on it.
So what are the three masters and disciples doing?
When I got closer, I saw straw mats spread among the crowd, with flying swords, array flags and other objects placed on them. And Tianshi Yu sat aside, his eyes slightly closed, his expression calm, unmoved by the noise. On the other hand, his two disciples were busy non-stop, shouting and selling——
"My Lord Linggong Sect's flying sword is of high quality and is famous far and wide. It only costs a hundred spirit stones to own it..."
"Although flying swords are spiritual weapons, their power varies. However, weapons for killing people may not be suitable for flying swords. The flying sword costs two hundred spiritual stones..."
"The formations refined by my master are even more impressive. They include three talents, five elements, and six combinations. They are both offensive and defensive. They have everything you need. The starting price is ten spirit stones..."
"This is a message slip. It is a unique treasure of the Linggong Sect. The voice of hundreds of miles is still in my ears. There is no bargaining for twenty spiritual stones..."
"Various talismans, starting from five spiritual stones..."
Yu Ye and Leng Chen exchanged unexpected glances.
The three masters of weapon refining turned out to be traders. Not only did they sell the refined weapons on the street, but the prices were extremely expensive.
And more than ten days ago, the three masters and disciples were still arranging for a few spiritual stones. Who would have thought that not only would they not be short of spiritual stones, they would actually make money in a good way!
"Ling Gongmen of Weiguo?"
"This is the only immortal sect in Qizhou that is famous for its weapon refining."
"This flying sword is indeed flawless..."
"I'll buy a formation..."
"The talisman is pretty good..."
The onlookers were all disciples of the Immortal Sect, including many foundation-building experts. Naturally, they knew the advantages and disadvantages of the flying sword. They had also heard about the reputation of the Linggong Sect, so they all bid for it.
The crowd was so crowded that Leng Chen was forced to take a few steps back, then looked around and called out: "Little Junior Brother..."
His junior brother was squatting in front of the stall, with a look of curiosity on his face.
Master Yu Tian is worthy of being an expert in the Linggong Sect. He not only knows how to refine weapons, but also knows how to make talismans. In particular, the various talismans he refined are all of high quality. If you buy a few for study and reference, you should benefit a lot. There are also message slips, which look even more rare.
Just when Yu Ye was concentrating, he was suddenly grabbed and pulled out of the crowd.
"Hey, senior brother..."
"What are you doing?"
"Buy some talismans."
"At this time, the seller's market is rising, and the buyer will definitely suffer a loss. Master Yu Tian is familiar with you and I, so it is more cost-effective to go to him in private." "What senior brother said makes sense!"
Yu Ye cupped his hands and regretted, "If I had known Master Yu Tian's methods, I should have consulted with him!"
"Hmph, what do I say?"
Leng Chen paced and twirled his beard and said, "You didn't listen to your good advice at that time, but you almost made yourself fall out!"
"Senior brother, if you get close to him, you will definitely gain something!"
"Oh, that senior is so stingy that he didn't even bother to give me a single talisman!"
"Senior brother has already had a plan."
"Haha, when you meet an expert who refines weapons or elixirs, you must please him. There is no harm in it anyway!"
The two left the town and walked in the direction of Tianming Mountain, as if they were wandering under the moonlight night, chatting while walking.
"Junior brother, lend me your stone to open my eyes!"
"No!"
"mean!"
"How dare you be careless with a treasure worth a thousand spiritual stones!"
"Haha, how could a disciple of a small sect hold such a precious treasure? Maybe Yu Tianshi lied to you, that is a useless stone."
The stone pieces that Yu Ye bought at the Treasure Shop were actually treasures worth a thousand spiritual stones. Unexpectedly, Yu Tianshi pretended to be mysterious and refused to tell the origin of the treasures. For this reason, he was very surprised. What surprised him even more was the owner of the treasure, a woman named Shuqin.
Since Shu Qin sells the stone pieces at a high price, it shows that she knows the value of the treasure. Otherwise, she would not leave those words: This thing is extraordinary, and those who are destined can get it.
Did she and her senior brother really come from a small fairy sect?
And if there is a secret hidden in the stone pieces, it would naturally be inconvenient to publicize it everywhere. Even Ling Chen would have to avoid it, so as not to harm himself and this senior fellow apprentice.
After a while, there was no way ahead, and there was only a majestic mountain standing quietly under the moonlight.
Yu Ye and Leng Chen stopped.
There were other monks wandering around, also hesitating. The solemn mountain is like a natural chasm and a thunder pool, making people dare not cross even half a step.
But a group of figures stood at the foot of the mountain a hundred feet away. Two other tall stone pillars are clearly visible, and a stone staircase winds up the mountain.
"Brother, let's see -"
Yu Ye raised his chin and signaled through the voice: "That is the Beishan Gate of Tianming Mountain. It is not only equipped with formations, but also heavily guarded. It is really difficult to get close."
During the more than ten days of waiting here, he tried to get close to Tianming Mountain several times. Unexpectedly, the formation restriction at the foot of the mountain extends for dozens of miles, and it is still difficult to find any flaws. Tomorrow Tianming Mountain would open its doors to welcome guests, so he thought about trying it again tonight.
"Don't use force if you can't do anything."
Leng Chen persuaded and then said: "Instead of taking such risks, it is better to go up the mountain peacefully tomorrow and go back -"
"Um!"
Although Yu Ye agreed, he was still a little unwilling.
Since Tianming Mountain is open to welcome guests, there must be something hidden in the dark. If you don't know the details, you are destined to suffer a big loss. But he didn't dare to break in rashly. Once the Suzaku Sect was alerted and a Jindan expert was recruited, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this moment, a person suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.
It was a man in his thirties, tall and muscular, wearing a Taoist robe and possessing the eighth level of Qi refining. He actually left the mountain gate and headed straight for the town.
In the blink of an eye, the man walked past Yu Ye and Leng Chen, but he didn't look away and walked away with his head held high.
Well, the disciples of the famous sect are really arrogant!
Yu Ye looked at the man's back with a thoughtful look on his face. Suddenly his heart skipped a beat and he sent a message: "Brother, help me kill someone!"

Leng Chen was startled and lost his voice: "Ah..."
