After crossing the stone pavilion, Shen Hao soon saw a huge stone platform, which was flat and had a radius of more than a hundred feet, and then there were steps extending out on three sides. Looking around, he found that this should be the so-called Shanmen Square.
Yang Qingyun led Shen Hao all the way up and introduced the place when he arrived: "This place is a gathering place on weekdays. It is spacious and is about the same distance from the peaks. It is the most convenient to travel.
Directly ahead is the road to the Golden Summit Hall and the back mountain, and most of the secret places in the gate are in that direction. On the right and left are paths to each peak, with medicine fields and martial arts fields on the way. Laoshu Peak, where Senior Brother Nie is, is on the left. Lord Shen, follow me. "
Scattered disciples can already be seen in the square. They are wearing cloud-patterned white robes. When they see Yang Qingyun, they salute from a distance but do not come close to him. However, curious eyes are aimed at Shen Hao in a more subtle way. .
However, I didn't see any festive decorations here. The overall feeling was deserted. Even Changbaifeng, which Shen Hao had been to before, was much more lively than here.
Following Yang Qingyun up the steps on the left, Shen Hao felt as if he had passed through a formation barrier not far away, and then the next moment there was a spiritual energy that caught him off guard.
"This... such a strong spiritual energy!?"
The spiritual energy that hit his face was so strong that Shen Hao felt as if he had fallen into a pool, a pool of spiritual energy!
"Haha, Lord Shen, don't be surprised. This is the spiritual energy gathered in the spirit gathering array in the mountain gate. In addition, Guishan is the place of Zhongling. The spiritual energy is abundant. After the spirit gathering, it will naturally be more intense. It is a bit more comfortable than the outside world."
How comfortable is it? Shen Hao opened his mouth and really didn't know how to respond to Yang Qingyun's words.
Is this something more comfortable? This is several times richer than the spiritual energy from the outside world!
Shen Hao has also been to a second-rate sect like Chang Baifeng before. Although there was a relatively abundant spiritual energy there, it was far inferior to his current experience.
And according to Yang Qingyun's words, this is the effect of gathering Guishan's spiritual energy? How big of a spirit gathering array is this? ! Just thinking about this large formation makes Shen Hao feel terrified.
It's not that Shen Hao has never seen the world before, but what he is seeing in front of him is too shocking. At least this is the first time he has experienced it since he came to this world.
It is said that the monks in the sect are powerful, and the more powerful the sect, the more amazingly the disciples become. Originally, Shen Hao attributed these to the talent level of the disciples in the sect and the centralized supply of resources, but now it seems that it is much more than that. The spiritual energy alone is so rich that Shen Hao is stunned by the practice environment, which can at least make the practice speed of ordinary monks. Speed up by 20%! Those geniuses have made greater use of the environment here, and the effect can be imagined.
Are all first-class sects so luxurious?
Shen Hao wouldn't be surprised if there was such a concentration of spiritual energy in a secret room here dedicated to practice, but what he is in now is just a stone path! Is there any need to gather such rich spiritual energy?
Continuing to walk forward, Shen Hao saw terraced fields in the smoky land in the distance, and asked, "Deacon Yang, are those fields medicinal fields?"
"Yes, the upper ones are medicinal fields, and the lower part is planted with millet."
"Millet? This...rice?"
"Yes. It's just ordinary rice. But after being planted here and absorbing the strong spiritual energy, the rice produced by these rice will also have a faint spiritual energy, and will taste more fragrant and nutritious than the rice outside. It is very popular among the sect. A welcome kind of food. Not only do we grow rice ourselves, we also feed fish and shrimps, and grow melons and fruits. Master Shen will have a good taste this time."
Yang Qingyun's answer surprised Shen Hao again. Planting rice in the mountain gate? Grow fruits? Still raising fish? !
Does this count as "starving to death from hunger and stuffing to death from fullness"?
The casual cultivators outside are working hard to absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth and transform into more true energy. They will fight to the death for spiritual stones and a slightly better place to practice. In Guishan Monastery, the rich spiritual energy is like the basic layout, and no one even cares about it for growing food, fruits and raising fish and shrimp.
I don’t know what the food grown in this environment will taste like. Shen Hao thought to himself numbly.
In fact, Shen Hao didn't know that the place where he was now was the real mountain gate of Guishan Monastery, and he was enveloped in the mountain gate formation and hundreds of other types of formations. Spiritual energy is not a luxury and waste as it seems on the surface, but a natural result of the formation structure. Planting medicinal materials and food is actually the use of the spiritual energy here to reduce waste.
As for practice, the spiritual energy here is so strong, let alone the disciples' indoors? Moreover, there are secret rooms specifically used for practice outside, so why don’t they exist here? The spiritual energy in the secret room is naturally stronger than that on this road.
After walking for about half a stick of incense, Shen Hao saw a strange-shaped mountain peak from a distance. The mountain peak is not very big. It can be seen that it is the top of a branch of Guishan Mountain. There are houses built on the top of the mountain according to the mountain. There are no less than ten houses at a glance, and I don’t know how many more are on the back of the mountain. The strangest thing about this mountain is that there is a huge tree standing alone on the top of the mountain, like an umbrella on the top of the mountain!
Yang Qingyun didn't need any introduction. When Shen Hao saw the strangely shaped huge trees on the mountain peak in front of him, he knew that it must be the "Old Tree Peak" that Nie Yun often talked about.
Sure enough, Yang Qingyun led Shen Hao down the stone path and walked along a sidewalk towards the mountain peak. As Shen Hao guessed, he pointed at the mountain peak and said that it was the "old mountain" where Nie Yun was. Tree Peak”.
And it is precisely on this sidewalk that there are festive decorations along the way. For example, red silk is hung on the trees, there are some colorful silk flowers, and unknown wild flowers bloom on the ground.
"Senior Brother Yang! Why are you here? Huh? This is..."
As soon as they arrived at the foot of Laoshang Peak, disciples of Laoshang Peak came out to greet them. They were in the middle of the God Gathering Realm. They bowed to Yang Qingyun in a polite manner. Then they looked at the unfamiliar faces beside Yang Qingyun and saw that they were different. The small silver gourd on his belt is a token of Lao Shangfeng's disciples, but why has he never seen this person before?
"This is Mr. Shen Haoshen of Xuanqing Guard, your registered disciple of Lao Shufeng. What? Never heard of it?"
When the disciple heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then said in surprise: "Are you Senior Brother Shen?! Senior Brother Nie has been talking about you these days! They said you would arrive in the third grade of junior high school, but I didn't expect you to arrive a day early!"
After a few words of greeting, Yang Qingyun was about to leave. His task was to pick up people at the foot of the mountain, but Shen Hao was not the only one. This time Nie Yun's wedding had a lot of favors for both the outer and inner sects to take care of. He also had busy.
Shen Hao and Yang Qingyun said goodbye. As soon as they turned around, they heard a hearty voice coming from the mountain:
"Brother Shen, you're finally here! Have you brought enough good wine?"
