The group of people soon arrived at the entrance of the Biling Valley Mountain Gate Formation.
Since the appearance of Qi Ziheng and others, many sects have begun to build mountain-protecting arrays at their outer gates, layer by layer for defense.
This Biling Valley is mainly a river valley formed by two mountain ridges, Bixia Ridge and Yongling Ridge, with a wide Biling River in the middle.
There is a long and narrow plain area on both sides of the river bank, with thousands of hectares of fertile land.
The peaks of the mountains, as well as the territory more than thirty miles outside the mountains, are the territory of Biling Valley.
To the north is adjacent to Jinlin Lake.
The entrance to the mountain gate is right on the riverside, and is guarded by several martial arts disciples wearing green uniforms.
After Jiang Zhilan explained her purpose, she took Chu Ming through the formation and entered the sect.
Flying over Biling Valley, Chu Ming took in the scenery of Biling Valley.
This place is really a paradise for muxiu, with green mountains and green waters, luxuriant flowers and plants, and the fresh fragrance of grass and flowers in the air.
Huge trees grow all over the valley, as if they have grown for thousands of years, and are dozens of feet thick.
Some tree holes are big enough to be used as caves, and many monks live in them.
Jiang Zhilan introduced to him that this was their Holy Spirit Tree in Biling Valley, which would be formed by a naturally opened tree cave.
Wood spiritual energy is abundant and easier to absorb. If you practice in it, it will be of great benefit to wood cultivation.
There are also ordinary stone caves throughout the mountains, suitable for monks of other attributes to live.
Chu Ming nodded slightly. Bi Linggu belonged to the Mu Xiu Sect, but other types of monks were still recruited.
This Holy Spirit Tree is a rare spiritual plant. I wonder if such a tree can be produced in the future when the level of sprouting is high.
The two continued to fly forward, and Jiang Zhilan introduced to him the divisions between the inner and outer gates of Biling Valley.
When he came to the outer gate on the outside of the mountain, Chu Ming could see many spiritual farmers.
Compared with the outer sect of Shenyi Sect, the mental state of the spiritual farmer in the outer sect of Biling Valley seems to be better.
I heard that they do not have the bad habit of collecting protection fees, and only need to hand over a portion of the harvest to the sect.
However, the entry qualifications for spiritual farmers are also more difficult, and not everyone can get in.
When Chu Ming saw Ling Nong underground, he raised his hand to say hello to Jiang Zhilan from time to time.
Jiang Zhilan also responded with a smile, seemingly without the airs of an elder.
Chu Ming couldn't help but ask: "You seem to know many spiritual farmers?"
"Looks familiar?"
Jiang Zhilan smiled and said: "Of course, I often come to the outer gate and have some exchanges with the spiritual farmers."
"And the treatment for our Biling Valley Spiritual Farmers is also very good. We are not squeezed like other sects."
"After all, most of the inner sect members of our sect are also cultivating spiritual plants, and they know how hard it is to work in this spiritual field."
"If you compare your feelings with others, you will naturally not be too harsh on the Ling Nong disciples."
Hearing what she said, Chu Ming suddenly felt that Bilinggu was pretty good.
It is much stronger than the Shenyi Sect.
At this time, on the terraced fields on the hillside in the distance, there was a young female spiritual farmer disciple lying down in the spiritual field.
Jiang Zhilan noticed it and quickly flew over, followed by Chu Ming.
Jiang Zhilan's consciousness swept away and she sensed that the disciple's leg was bitten by a poisonous snake.
Then a soft green wood spiritual energy was shot out to detoxify and heal the disciple's injuries.
The female disciple slowly woke up, saw Jiang Zhilan, and stood up quickly.
"Uncle Jiang, when did you come?"
Jiang Zhilan smiled flatly and said, "Xiaoqing, have you been bitten by a snake again?"
Xiao Qing scratched his head, "Huh? It seems... right. I didn't expect that it was my uncle who saved me this time."
"I really don't know how to thank my uncle. If I don't wait until the spiritual rice is harvested this month, I'll treat my uncle to a bar."
Jiang Zhilan showed a charming smile, "Okay, I have saved you so many times, and it's not bad to have a drink. I will definitely come when the time comes."
"But you'd better be careful. You can still get bitten by a snake after practicing Qi to the third level. Be careful and you won't be able to kill me when the time comes, haha."
Xiaoqing scratched her head in embarrassment and said, "I won't do it next time. I'll buy some anti-snake instruments later."
Jiang Zhilan casually took out a smooth green animal skin and handed it to Xiao Qing.
"This is just the skin of a Qi-training monster, it's of no use to me."
"You can use it to make two leggings, which should be enough to prevent snakes."
Xiao Qing happily took the animal skin and said, "Thank you so much, uncle. I will definitely treat you to a good meal next time."
Jiang Zhilan didn't show much surprise when Jiang Zhilan gave her an animal skin. It looked like she had given something as a gift before.
The two then exchanged pleasantries for a while before Jiang Zhilan continued to fly away with Chu Ming.
Chu Ming couldn't help but ask: "Are you familiar with this disciple? Why are you so nice to her?"
Jiang Zhilan shook her head, "I'm not very familiar with her. She's new here not long ago, but I happened to have saved her twice before."
"My qualifications are mediocre, but she's a nice person, and I'm willing to give her something."
She wasn't just pretending, after all, this disciple just said that it wasn't the first time he was saved by her.
Faced with the other party's insignificant gratitude, she was happy to accept it without showing any disdain, and she also took care of the face of this spiritual farmer disciple.
It is really rare to be able to get along with the spiritual farmer disciples of the outer sect like this.
And just now outside, she was indeed fighting the demon cultivators to protect her disciples.
Not only did he not run away from the battlefield, but he was also willing to put himself in danger to protect his disciples and retreat first, which is really rare.
This is quite different from the image I imagined.
"I didn't expect you to be quite nice to your disciples." Chu Ming couldn't help but say.
Jiang Zhilan smiled slightly, "Of course, after all, they are all my fellow disciples, so they should naturally take care of them."
"And facing the enemy, I will naturally not be merciful."
"Fellow Taoist, have you changed your mind about me now?"
"I heard about my bad reputation before, probably from people from other sects, right?"
"In their eyes, I am indeed bad, but there have been many overt and covert fights between the major sects over the years. Why should I act like a good person in front of them?"
Chu Ming nodded slightly, "That's true."
Bi Linggu and Shenyi Sect have accumulated a lot of hatred. There was even a large-scale conflict between the two sides seventy or eighty years ago, and both sides had blood feuds.
It is understandable that Jiang Zhilan does not have a favorable impression of the Shenyi Sect. After all, even he himself hates most people in the Shenyi Sect.
Jiang Zhilan secretly smiled proudly when she heard what he said.
He didn't say much, just took him to continue sightseeing.
At this time, the head of Biling Valley learned about the arrival of Huo Da from the Tiandao Sect, and quickly sent someone to invite him.
Chu Ming and Jiang Zhilan went to the Sacred Tree Hall in Biling Valley together, located high on the trunk of the tallest and thickest Holy Spirit Tree.
After flying into the huge tree hole and passing through a green spiritual door, the two walked into the magnificent hall.
Sitting in the hall was a middle-aged, tall and thin male cultivator, who was good-looking and gentle.
This should be Su Xuan, the head of Biling Valley.
Jiang Zhilan smiled and introduced: "Master, this is Fellow Taoist Huo Da of Tiandao Sect."
Su Xuan came down to greet Chu Ming enthusiastically, and asked about Tiandao Sect.
Chu Ming still responded with the same attitude as before, neither salty nor bland.
He didn't say much about the affairs of Tiandaozong, pretending to be mysterious.
But this Su Xuan believed it to be true.
Then he added: "I just heard from the disciples below that Xuanyun Sect was saved by a sword cultivator who claimed to be an outer disciple of Tiandao Sect."
"That sword cultivator is very powerful and has a very strong sword intention. He killed the magic eye protector with one sword."
"Are you also a fellow disciple of Fellow Daoist Huo?"
Chu Ming thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's Senior Brother Jin Yiming. He's here too."
After hearing this, Su Xuan was amazed again and again, clapped his hands and praised: "It's incredible, your sect is really talented, and both Taoist friends have unique skills."
"Now I heard from the intelligence that most of the Ten Thousand Demons Cave disciples have returned to the sect. Apparently they were scared away by the two Taoist friends."
"In this way, there should be no need to worry about the calamity of demonic cultivators in the Jin Kingdom."
Jiang Zhilan just learned this information.
She naturally understood that Jin Yiming was also the puppet of the unknown Taoist friend in front of her.
However, there are both fire cultivator puppets and sword cultivator puppets, and they both have powerful true meanings.
I'm afraid this isn't just something Mu Xiu can do, right?
Could it be said that this fellow Taoist has multi-colored spiritual roots? And mastered the powerful true meaning of many attributes at the same time?
Maybe this is really the case. This should be an important clue. Maybe we can use this to find his true identity.
She secretly wrote it down and recalled what the other party had said before, trying to deduce the true identity of the other party.
