It was just dawn, and the disciples of the Shui Jing Department gathered in the center of the school ground, carrying their luggage and carrying beef tendon whistle sticks.
Elder Shui Jing counted the number of people and confirmed that they were correct, then led the group of people down the mountain and walked deep into Yanxing Mountain.
The Yanyun Mountains are rolling hills and mountains.
Elder Shui Jing was running ahead, his whole body seemed to be wrapped in a ball of invisible energy. With a tap of his feet, he swept several feet away, effortlessly and freely.
Zhao Lin couldn't help but be amazed. The speed he was proud of was nothing compared to Yuanjing warriors.
"Elder, can you now...tell us which mountain Qiucai is on?"
Zhang Xiaoshan wiped the sweat from his head and said breathlessly.
"We'll know when we get there." Elder Shui Jing replied coldly.
After running for about an hour, when the sky dawned, everyone came to the foot of a mountain.
"This is it." Elder Shui Jing slowed down and said.
"Five...Five Finger Mountain?"
The disciples raised their heads and saw the appearance of the mountain, and spoke out one after another.
Zhao Lin smiled knowingly and wondered if there was Monkey Monkey pressing down at the bottom of the mountain.
This mountain has a unique shape and is different from other places. It is not very majestic, but it is steep and dangerous, with many peaks and mountains.
The lower part of the mountain rises gently, and five peaks suddenly appear in the middle.
The five peaks are of different lengths and stand together like five human fingers.
No wonder it’s called this, it does look like a giant hand coming out of the ground.
Elder Shui Jing saw that the disciples were sweating profusely and panting, so he asked everyone to rest for a while.
"Autumn harvesting is here on this mountain. You can choose from the five peaks at will."
"I would like to remind you that although there are many medicinal mountains in Yanyun Mountain, Wuzhi Mountain is a place where beautiful things gather. The sect has not sent anyone to the mountain for three years. After picking the medicinal herbs, they must be kept well and must not be wasted."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoshan was about to ask another question, he scolded: "Listen to me!"
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately shut his mouth.
Elder Shui Jing paused for a moment and continued: "To be fair, our elders who passed down the power did not go to the mountain to see it. The elders of law enforcement went to investigate."
"The law enforcement elders said that Little Thumb Peak and Thumb Peak are relatively gentle, while the three peaks in the middle are steep."
"There are no particularly ferocious beasts. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, your life should not be in danger."
Zhao Lin nodded slightly, just as he expected.
Each of the disciples of the Dance Elephant Academy is selected from hundreds of miles away. It is impossible for the sect to find a dangerous place full of ferocious beasts and let the talented disciples die miserably.
Since there is no need to worry about strange beasts, the only thing to worry about is people.
He took out the water bottle and took a few sips, then looked at Wuzhi Peak and made some calculations in his mind.
According to common sense, the more steep the terrain, the greater the possibility of rare medicinal herbs.
But I can think of this, and others can also think of it. The people who climb the three peaks in the middle should be the most and the strongest.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Lin decided to go to Zhongzhi Peak first.
Since you want to win the first place, you can't shy away from fighting with others.
After resting for a while, Elder Shui Jing led the disciples up the mountain.
There is a wide open space on the mountainside of Wuzhi Mountain, where the "palm" is.
When everyone arrived, they found that the Metal and Stone Tribe, the Green Wood Tribe, the Fire and Jade Tribe and the Lütu Tribe had all arrived.
"Shui Jing, you are finally here!"
Huo Yu strode over and glanced at Zhao Lin in the team intentionally or unintentionally.
"Our department was the first to arrive today. I was thinking at that time, would the ranking of the departments in Qiucai this time be the same as the order of first come, first served?"
Shui Jing's face sank, "You mean our unit ranks fifth?"
Elder Huo Yu laughed, "I just said it casually, brother Shui Jing, don't take it to heart."
Shui Jing sneered and said: "It's okay, I'm afraid some people got up early but rushed to the late market."
Huo Yu smiled nonchalantly, "Then we'll see."
At this time, the disciples from the outer courtyard have not yet arrived, so everyone is waiting quietly.
The five elders gathered together and talked in low voices, but the disciples from each department were in a group of their own, distinct from each other.
Because the disciples of the five divisions majored in different martial arts and practiced in their own departments, they rarely met each other and only gathered together every spring and autumn.
If they compete with each other when they meet, the relationship will naturally not be considered harmonious, but there will be signs of a different relationship.
Zhao Lin glanced across the street and found Kong Cang and Han Yang among the crowd.
Both of them were disciples who joined the Dance Elephant Academy with him. Now one is in the Fire Jade Department and the other is in the Law and Earth Department.
The two of them also looked over and nodded slightly.
The elder was away, and Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't sit still anymore. He looked around for a while and said to the disciple standing at the head of the team: "Senior Brother, I heard that there are some very powerful people in other departments?"
"Tell me which ones they are. If you meet them in the mountains, I can avoid them in advance."
The senior brother in Zhang Xiaoshankou is named Guo Enze. He started early and was ranked highest in the Shuijing Division during the spring competition, so all the disciples call him senior brother.
Guo Enze nodded, pointed at a member of the Jinshi Department and said: "Zhong Yewu from the Jinshi Department ranks first in this year's spring competition. If you meet him in the mountains, it's best to stay away from him."
"He practices Jin Zhong Jin. It is said that he has reached the third level. He can carry a cauldron and is invulnerable."
Zhao Lin followed the direction of Guo Enze's finger and saw a disciple with a face like a jujube, broad arms and a round waist, standing proudly in the Jinshi Department.
Strong and thick-skinned?
It is quite similar to the direction of my own cultivation.
Zhang Xiaoshan touched his chin, "This man looks so old-fashioned. If you didn't tell me, I would have thought he was a deacon."
Guo Enze smiled, turned to the Fire Jade Department, and said: "The leader of the Fire Jade Department is called Xiang Bao. His strength is not inferior to Zhong Yewu. He practices Fire Cloud Palm Strength and Whirlwind Leg Strength."
"He also has an older brother named Xiang Shaofeng, who is one of the top ten figures in the inner court."
Xiang Bao is not tall, but he has a high nose, deep eyes, ape-like arms and a wolf waist, which makes him quite imposing.
"The two brothers Du Zhong and Du Nian from the Law and Earth Department practice the Thick Earth Technique. Their defense is stable and their strength is long. They are extremely difficult to deal with..."
Guo Enze mentioned the names of a few more people, and when he introduced the Aoki Department, he coughed and said, "Lin Qiutong from the Aoki Department, practices Willow Leaf Sui Feng Jin, and her footwork is unpredictable. I was defeated in the Spring Competition." Under her hands.”
Lin Qiutong lives up to her name. Although her facial features are not very delicate, she is tall and has an outstanding temperament. She can be regarded as one of the most beautiful women in a hundred.
It could be seen that most of the male disciples present were focused on her.
There are already more men than women in the Dance Elephant Academy, and the disciples are still in the age of admiration, so it is not surprising that they behave like this.
Zhao Lin listened silently, keeping all these people in mind.
Although he is confident in his own strength, Qiu Cai is not a random competition. It is only right to spend his energy on picking rare herbs.
Not long after, the disciples from the outer courtyard also arrived, and an old man with a white beard came forward with fifty disciples.
"There are many disciples in the outer courtyard. I apologize for Zhou's late arrival." Zhou Qing'an, the elder of the outer courtyard who taught the martial arts, bowed his hands and said in salute.
Zhao Lin glanced at the crowd and found that Shi Jiangyong and Li Ying, who had competed with him last time, were also among them.
It happened that these two people also looked directly at each other, seeming to be very unconvinced by the result of the last competition.
"The disciples in the outer courtyard are numerous and like to form gangs. Please be careful." Guo Enze reminded in a low voice.
