The night was dark, the air was slightly cool, velvet-like snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the silver-covered southern city of Wuliang City was brightly lit.
Inside a store called "Everything".
"Hey, hey, sir, don't worry, our store will definitely collect more than three buds of the Soul Mulberry Immortal Vine for you within half a month." At this time, a laughing voice came from the store, and then I saw two people walking out of the store door.
One of the two is a fat man with a short stature but a big belly, but he is the shopkeeper of this shop.
The other of the two was a handsome young man holding a paper umbrella, who turned out to be Ji Liao.
Ji Liao held the paper umbrella outside the shop, and the snowflakes immediately fell on the star-shading umbrella.
The shopkeeper hurriedly sent it out with a smile on his fat face. He cupped his hands towards Ji Liao and said, "Sir, please go slowly."
"Yeah!" Ji Liao nodded slightly, then glanced at the street covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, raised his feet and walked in one direction.
The bright moon hung high, and as time passed, Wuliang City gradually became quiet.
Ji Liao's figure walking on the deserted street looked a bit bleak.
After leaving Nancheng, Ji Liao arrived at the junction of the north and south cities. The sound of hula-la-la sounded, and at this time, a drizzle began to fall in the void.
The raindrops fell on the ground, but they did not splash on Ji Liao's clothes. If someone looked carefully, it would be easy to see that the soles of Ji Liao's feet did not touch the ground at this time, but were walking slowly an inch away from the ground. .
On the square of Wan Zhen Auction.
Ji Liao went up the steps and looked around, only to see a lonely figure standing in the drizzle holding a paper umbrella.
Ji Liao's eyes flickered slightly, hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the beautiful figure.
"Why is Senior Sister still here?" Ji Liao came to the side of the beautiful figure and said.
Wan Suxin's face was still indifferent. She was dressed as a Taoist nun and showed no emotion.
Ji Liao was a whole head taller than her, but Wan Suxin looked at Ji Liao with her head raised.
"I said wait, so I have to wait." Wan Suxin replied calmly, without asking where Ji Liao went during the period when the auction ended.
"It seems."
After hearing Wan Suxin's words, Ji Liao whispered in his heart.
Looking at Wan Suxin at this time, Ji Liao suddenly remembered Ji Xiu Niang, who had been a widow for him for a hundred years. Ji Xiu Niang was stubborn, had her own opinions and persistence, Ji Liao did not expect that Wan Su Xin was also the same. This kind of temperament.
It's just that what Wan Suxin practices is the Pure Heart Technique, and what she seeks is to have a pure heart and few desires. How can a person with this kind of temperament really let go and purify his heart.
After Ji Liao returned to Wuliang City, he first walked around the shops in Wuliang City and finalized what he wanted to buy with all the shops. Suddenly, he had the idea of visiting here again, but he didn't expect Wan Wan to buy it. Su Xin was still here, waiting from early morning until late at night.
Ji Liao bowed his hands to Wan Suxin and said apologetically, "I forgot the agreement I made with senior sister during the auction. I only remembered it after walking around Wuliang City for a long time. Please don't blame me, senior sister."
"Yeah!" Wan Suxin nodded slightly.
"Let's go back." Ji Liao said.
"Okay!" Wan Suxin agreed, and then walked out of the square first.
The drizzle continued, and Ji Liao looked at Tingting's figure curling up under the paper umbrella, smiled softly, and followed her up.
Noon the next day.
A stream of light flew over Tianzhi Mountain, then meandered down towards the mountainside of a mountain.
But they saw a stone gate on the mountainside. At this time, the stone gate was closed, and standing beside the stone gate was a thin Nascent Soul monk wearing the attire of a disciple of Tianshi Mountain.
As soon as the Nascent Soul stage monk saw the escape light coming, he immediately straightened his robes.
The blue light flashed and landed in front of the stone gate. With a twist, a man's figure appeared, it was Ji Liao who had returned from Wuliang City.
"I've met the Third Young Master." As soon as Ji Liao came down, the Yuanying Stage monk immediately bowed respectfully to Ji Liao.
"Yeah!" Ji Liao nodded, raised his hand, and heard a rumble, and the stone door of the cave opened.
"Come in!" Ji Liao said.
"Yes!" The Nascent Soul Stage monk responded and followed Ji Liao in.
Arriving at the front hall of the cave, Ji Liao sat down on a big chair.
The Nascent Soul Stage monk quickly took two steps forward and stood respectfully in front of Ji Liao.
"Is the qualification competition over?" Ji Liao asked.
"It's over." The Nascent Soul Stage monk replied, and then he raised his hand and turned it over. The storage ring on his fingertips flashed immediately, and a jade slip appeared in his palm. He held it in both hands and sent it to Ji. In front of Liao, "The competition for qualifications ended one day ago. I dragged on a lot of connections to get the list of people from each sect entering the Celestial Valley this time."
Ji Liao tapped lightly, and the token in the monk's hand immediately flew up and fell into Ji Liao's palm.
Ji Liao clicked again, and a full black bag flew out from his fingertips and fell into the hands of the Nascent Soul Stage monk who had not yet taken it back.
"Remember to keep your mouth shut!" Ji Liao whispered softly.
"Third Young Master, don't worry. I promised to leave Third Young Master's cave and forget about what happened today." The man who claimed to be Xu Nuo responded.
"Go!" Ji Liao said.
"Yes!" Xu Nuo agreed, then turned around and walked out of the cave.
After Xu Nuo left, Ji Liao picked up the token and placed it in front of his eyes.
A few days ago, thirteen sects competed for the remaining ten places to enter the secret realm of the Split Heaven Immortal Valley. Since there are still vacant places, the lists of each sect have not yet been finalized.
Tianzhi Zhenren Dongfeng didn't give Ji Liao the chance to enter the Celestial Valley this time, so Ji Liao couldn't ask too much, so he found a clever guy like Xu Nuo to handle the matter.
While thinking about it, Ji Liao put the jade slip between his eyebrows, and his consciousness sank in.
But seeing that the token recorded the names of disciples from thirteen sects, including Tianshi Mountain, who were going to the secret realm of Split Heaven Immortal Valley, Ji Liao glanced at those sects and looked directly at the Baidao he cared about most. Above the clan.
This time, a total of thirteen people from the Baidao Sect went to Tianshi Mountain to compete for the spot. In other words, when they competed for the command flag in the misty forest, a total of three people from their Baidao Sect grabbed the command flag, and among these thirteen people, they ranked first This person is Huayun Taoist.
Ji Liao raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Just as he expected, Taoist Hua Yun left seclusion hundreds of years ago to prepare for spirit transformation, and the opportunity for this spirit transformation turned out to be the Split Heaven Immortal Valley.
Ji Liao met Taoist Hua Yun by chance during the Wan Zhen Auction. He originally thought that he might meet Hua Yun again when he came out, and then killed him after leaving Wuliang City with him, but he did not expect that he actually met Hua Yun. This matter about Gu Ding and others.
However, this is not harmful at all, it is nothing more than letting Taoist Hua Yun live for a while longer.
Ji Liao's eyes turned and landed on Tianshishan's list.
This time, the number of people admitted to Tianshi Mountain is still ten. It seems that they have not gained anything in the misty forest. Naturally, the one on the top of the list is his second senior sister Wan Suxin, and under Wan Suxin is Tianshi now. The deputy head of Tangshan Mountain.
But he said that Tianzhen Zhenren was the ancestor of Tianzhi Mountain, so he would naturally not care about Tianzhi Mountain. The head of Tianzhi Mountain was Zhang Zhichu, the senior brother of Ji Liao who had not yet met him. There has been no news from the senior brother since he came out of the Split Heaven Immortal Valley. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this picture was transformed into a spirit at the beginning, but now he is hiding himself. Even he, the direct disciple of Tianji Zhenren, is very tight-lipped. I am afraid that now the entire Tianji Mountain, that is, Master Tianji knows the whereabouts of Zhang Zhichu.
Zhang Zhichu hid himself and had no time to take care of the affairs of the sect. The position of head should have been left to Wan Suxin to manage, but Wansuxin practiced Qingxin Jue. In this way, Wansuxin could not handle such troublesome matters as managing the sect. is incompetent.
Then, Tianji Zhenren chose Tangshan, an old disciple who had been at Tianji Mountain for a long time, to take the position of deputy head.
Tangshan must have been carefully selected. I'm afraid Tianji Zhenren never thought that Tangshan, whom he trusted, would actually tamper with the disciple recruitment ceremony of Tianji Mountain.
Wei Qing and Xu Lin were just the two that Ji Liao discovered. Maybe there were other people who bought Tangshan among the worshipers two hundred years ago.
To say that Tangshan is the deputy head of Tianshi Mountain, his status is not low. Doing these things seems to be of no benefit to him. However, when Ji Liao learned that Tangshan was going to enter the Split Heaven Immortal Valley to find a chance to transform into a spirit, Ji Liao immediately I understand Tangshan’s thoughts.
After all, Tangshan is not Zhang Zhichu, after all, he is not a direct disciple of Master Tianji. Even if he gets the immortal bones, Master Tianji will not devote all his efforts to training him. With the immortal essence stone he gets from being the deputy head, it is not enough for a monk to transform into a spirit. It's a huge expense. This is just to save some Immortal Essence Stones.
Seeing that these two people were the first choice to enter the secret realm of the Celestial Valley, Ji Liao put down his thoughts. Just as he was about to put away the token, a familiar sect suddenly fell into his eyes.
"Jingjian Mountain..." Ji Liao Didi said.
I still remember that the first time Ji Liao came to Wuliang City, the second sect he came into contact with was the shop opened in Jingjian Mountain. At that time, he bought a sword there.
This Jingjian Mountain is also a sect that cultivates swords, but it has always been at odds with Tianzhi Mountain and belongs to the other nine sects.
"This time, fourteen people from Tianzhi Mountain were selected..."
Ji Liao couldn't help but whisper as he counted the names on Jingjian Mountain.
There are only ten places in total. I thought that Baidao Sect, which had been allocated three places, would be the sect with the most. Unexpectedly, Jingjian Mountain had allocated four places, so the other eleven sects could only allocate three places. , and among these thirteen sects, Jingjian Mountain has the largest number of people who have entered the Split Heaven Immortal Valley.
"Haha, that's interesting." Ji Liao chuckled and put the token away.
