"Wow! It's so awesome to worship you. With just one sword, everyone was afraid to speak!"
At this moment, outside Beihuang City, Huang Hao said to Li Zhe with admiration on his face. He was so excited that his face turned red, and his excitement was evident on his face.
Huang Hao has been looking like this since the two came out of the city lord's mansion just now.
Li Zhe shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Okay, just send it here. According to the rules, you will have to defend the city here."
Hearing this, Huang Hao nodded and asked Li Zhe expectantly: "Then will you come back in the future?"
"Of course I will come back to see you, but I don't know when."
Li Zhe shook his head gently and whispered.
Hearing this, Huang Hao raised his head and glanced at Li Zhe, then nodded silently, turned around, and entered the city.
After Li Zhe repelled the group of casual cultivators, the city lord directly signed an agreement to offer sacrifices to the Lingshan Sect represented by Li Zhe.
And Li Zhe has already fully demonstrated his crushing strength in this battle. As long as there are no new casual cultivators nearby, these casual cultivators have seen Li Zhe's strength, no matter Li Zhe is there. If you're not in Lingshan Sect, you won't dare to cause trouble.
After all, once he makes trouble, even if Li Zhe is not around, he will fall into the fear of being retaliated by Li Zhe at any time for the rest of his life.
Li Zhe breathed a long sigh of relief. He had done his best for the Lingshan Sect. As for what the Lingshan Sect would develop next, it was up to chance.
If the Lingshan Sect can become bigger and stronger in the future, Li Zhe wouldn't mind having one more force at his disposal.
Now, Li Zhe directly drove the escape light and galloped towards the Liantai Valley.
The direction where Lingshan Sect is located is the junction of the North Territory and Dongzhou, and the Liantai Valley is located about two thousand miles west of here.
Along the way, Li Zhe never encountered any problems. Except for some border caravans, he no longer saw any monks.
As they moved forward, when they were less than a hundred miles away from Liantai Valley, Li Zhe's expression froze slightly.
Even from such a distance, Li Zhe could vaguely smell the faint scent of lotus!
When he smelled the lotus fragrance, Li Zhe felt that the spiritual power around him seemed to become more active.
"What is the so-called Liantai Valley... exactly?"
At this moment, Li Zhe's heart felt a little more hopeful, and his forward speed quietly accelerated a little.
The green mountain stone road under Li Zhe gradually curved towards Dongzhou as he moved forward, and in front of Li Zhe, there was an endless lake like an ocean.
Moving forward, the lake occasionally ripples, and sparse lotus flowers can be seen floating on the water, like rootless duckweeds.
The lake full of water below him, the sky covered with white clouds, and the special fragrance of lotus flowers made Li Zhe's state of mind as calm as if he had entered a state of trance.
"This Liantai Valley is really magical."
Li Zhe murmured in a low voice, took a long breath, and slowly slowed down while driving the light.
As we moved forward, the sparse lotus flowers gradually became denser. After walking for more than ten miles, the lake below was almost invisible, and it was full of densely packed lotus flowers.
At this moment, Li Zhe's face suddenly condensed and he looked ahead of him.
About ten miles in front of Li Zhe, he saw a huge lotus root rising straight into the sky.
The lotus platform rhizome alone was dozens of meters thick. Looking upward along the rhizome, Li Zhe discovered that there was a huge lotus platform above the rhizome!
There was a strange smell faintly emanating from the lotus platform. The fragrance of lotus flowers that Li Zhe had smelled in the air came from here.
"It is indeed one of the necessary materials to break through the Nascent Soul Realm. Even the place where it is generated is so wonderful."
Li Zhe murmured in a low voice to calm his mind, and then flew towards the lotus platform with the escape light.
It was when Li Zhe flew to the platform above the Lotus Terrace Valley that he was slightly startled.
The top of this huge lotus platform actually looks like a lotus, with a hollow lotus root above it.
On the other side of the lotus platform, an old man wearing a raincoat sat on the edge of the lotus platform, holding a fishing rod in his hand. The long fishing line went straight to the lake below, as if he was fishing.
"Who is coming?"
Even when Li Zhe was observing the old man, the old man also spoke softly and asked Li Zhe.
Hearing this, Li Zhe was slightly startled, and then he landed on the lotus platform, bowed to the old man with his fists clasped, and said respectfully: "Junior Donghua Sect disciple Li Zhe, pay my respects to senior!"
Listening to Li Zhe's words, the old man flicked his wrist, and the long fishing line was suddenly tightened at this moment. Then, the old man put the fishing rod into the storage bag, put his hands behind his back, and turned He turned around and looked at Li Zhe.
This old man looked like an ordinary old man in his sixties or seventies, but Li Zhe had already judged from the surge of spiritual power around him that this old man was at least in the middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm or above!
However, the old man's aura was very well concealed. Even if Li Zhe looked directly at Li Zhe, Li Zhe was unable to discover his specific cultivation level.
"Don't your Donghua Sect have the Qinglian Dao Essence? What are you doing here?"
After looking at Li Zhe for a few times, the old man asked Li Zhe in a slightly hoarse voice.
Hearing this, Li Zhe's face froze, and then he said respectfully: "Junior... there is a special reason why I came here to get the Qinglian Dao marrow and give guidance to my senior."
After listening to Li Zhe's words, the old man curled his lips and said with disdain: "No, go back."
"this……"
Li Zhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
Apparently, the news Zuo Changsheng gave him was good. The old man guarding Liantai Valley was not easy to get along with.
At this time, hundreds of miles away from the Liantai Valley, at the edge of the northern border, a man stood on a flying sword with a stern expression, his face full of impatience.
Behind this man, there was an old man. This old man did not use any magic weapon. He was just flying in the void, and his speed was not far different from that of the man.
If you investigate carefully, you can find that the man is at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and the old man is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!
"It's just that the sect lost a competition and asked me to come to Liantai Valley to get the Taoist marrow. Those old guys are really rigid."
The man stood on the flying sword and whispered with dissatisfaction.
Hearing this, the old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, and then said softly: "Young Master, you are the sect leader. It is normal for the elders to be strict with you."
Hearing that the old man was also on the side of the sect, the man looked even more unhappy, and said helplessly: "It's enough to keep these old guys angry, but I have to come to Liantai Valley to continue to be angry. If the old guy Shougu doesn't give up, Me, I will be reprimanded again when I go back!"
Listening to the man's complaints, the old man just smiled and said nothing more.
The clothes these two people were wearing were blue and white gowns with white cloud patterns printed on them. Any monk in the north would be able to recognize that these two people were disciples of Beiyun Sect, the top three sect in the north.
This man is the eldest son of the current sect leader Hua Fengxin, named Hua Jinghan. As for the old man behind him, he is the elder of the outer sect of Beiyun Sect, named Zhao Tui.
Because of the large scale of Beiyun Sect and the fact that these years happened to be the time when the disciples' strength exploded continuously, the reserve of Qinglian Taoist Essence was already insufficient.
As a result, a temporary sect rule was born, that is, there must be a competition among the disciples who want to break through, and only the winner can obtain the Qinglian Dao Essence given by the sect.
As for the loser, they need to go to the Lotus Terrace Valley and obtain the Green Lotus Taoist Essence on their own.
If you can't get it when you come to Liantai Valley, you have to find a way on your own, or wait for a year to participate in the competition again.
At this moment, Li Zhe stood on the huge lotus platform with a look of helplessness on his face.
But the old man no longer paid attention to Li Zhe, and continued to sit aside and pick up the fishing rod to catch fish as before.
Li Zhe shook his head helplessly and sat down cross-legged on the spot. His consciousness instantly expanded and he began to scan towards Zhou.
Since the old man was unwilling to help, but since he did not stop himself from searching for the Qinglian Taoist Essence, Li Zhe decided to search for it himself.
After feeling Li Zhe's consciousness expand, the old man turned back and glanced at Li Zhe, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In the Lotus Terrace Valley, when you first look at it, there are so many lotus flowers, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and there is this huge lotus terrace, which seems a bit shocking.
However, when Li Zhe's spiritual consciousness spread, he was shocked to realize that there was a group of spiritual light under all the lotuses here!
Under Li Zhe's consciousness, the entire Liantai Valley is filled with dense spots of light. Even if there is indeed the Qinglian Taoist essence hidden in it, it cannot be discovered according to Li Zhe's method!
"Stop looking. Depending on your ability, you may not be able to find it."
The old man also chuckled lightly at this time and murmured.
Hearing this, Li Zhe had a bitter look on his face and took back his consciousness. Just as he was about to speak, he frowned slightly, turned around and looked not far away.
Not far away, two escaping lights were seen flying towards Li Zhe's location.
Even at this distance, Li Zhe could clearly feel that among the two escaping lights, there was a Yuanying realm monk and a being whose cultivation level was almost the same as his own.
"It seems like you have a competitor."
The old man also felt the existence of these two escaping lights, slowly put away the fishing rod, and said to Li Zhe with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Zhe took a deep breath and was speechless.
