After Ouyang Chao and the others walked away, Guan Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and thanked: "Thank you, senior, for saving your life!"
The old beggar shook his head indifferently and said: "It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning. Besides, you also helped me just now."
Guan Mingyue was extremely grateful.
The old beggar looked at Guan Mingyue with unpredictable eyes.
After a while, he said: "It's not easy to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly!"
When Guan Mingyue heard this, she was suddenly shocked.
Why does this old beggar know so well?
Guan Mingyue looked around and found nothing strange, and she couldn't help but become suspicious.
At this time, the old man continued: "I have been here for thousands of years and am very familiar with the surrounding environment. Come on, I will take you out of here."
After the old beggar finished speaking, he helped Zhang Jianlai up from the ground, and then the two of them limped forward.
Seeing this, Guan Mingyue immediately chased after him and asked, "Senior, where are we going now?"
The old beggar said without looking back: "You can go to the ends of the world, as long as you leave here!"
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived outside the valley. Guan Mingyue looked up and saw a big river ahead. The river was wide and vast, with gurgling water. The river banks were covered with all kinds of weeds. In this desolate desert, it seemed like a desert. Another world.
Seeing Guan Mingyue's appearance, the old beggar said calmly: "You don't have to be afraid, just come with me!"
Guan Mingyue nodded and followed the old beggar without thinking much.
The three of them walked slowly along the river bank, passing through many forks in the road. However, whenever they chose one of the forks in the road, they would always encounter some strange things, such as rocks that suddenly appeared in front of them, Vines, even weeds...
After an unknown amount of time, the three of them finally reached a mountain col.
This mountain col is surrounded by steep cliffs, and the mountain walls tower into the clouds. In this deserted mountain col, it looks a bit mysterious and gloomy.
Guan Mingyue looked around and couldn't help but shudder.
"Senior, this is..."
The old beggar didn't answer Guan Mingyue's words. He just took out a dead wood branch from his arms and drew a formation on the ground.
After the formation was drawn, he placed the unconscious Zhang Jianlai into the formation.
Then, he took out another jade pendant, inserted it into the groove of the formation, and muttered something in his mouth.
After a while, a look of pain appeared on Zhang Jianlai's face, and the plants gradually withered and finally disappeared into the air.
After the formation was broken, Zhang Jianlai woke up slowly. He opened his eyes and found an old beggar standing in front of him.
"Senior! Why is it you?"
The old beggar responded calmly: "It's me!"
"Senior, what's wrong with me?"
Zhang Jianlai was a little confused.
The old beggar said calmly: "This is reincarnation, this is your reincarnation, this is your new life!"
Rebirth?
Hearing this sentence, Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue were not only shocked, but also confused.
"Senior, what does reincarnation mean?" Guan Mingyue asked.
"My little brother died in his previous life and was reborn in this life, but due to fate, he ended up in this situation. This is destiny, this is fate!"
"Fate? Is it destiny?" Guan Mingyue asked doubtfully.
The old beggar smiled and said, "Little girl, you are too naive."
Hearing this sentence, Guan Mingyue asked in confusion: "What does that mean?"
The old beggar sighed: "Little girl, there are some things you don't understand yet, and it's not convenient for me to say more. When you become an immortal in the future, you will naturally understand!"
Although Guan Mingyue didn't believe it, seeing his serious expression, she didn't ask any more questions.
Immediately, the old beggar said to Zhang Jianlai: "Are you willing to practice with this girl?"
"Practice?"
"Um."
"Practice?"
"That's right!"
The old beggar explained: "Cultivation is a very magical skill. Through practice, you can change your physique and make your body undergo earth-shaking changes, thus giving your physical body incredible power."
"However, you have been poisoned by Ouyang Chao and have been reborn. Now you have no cultivation. You can only improve your cultivation through some special methods."
Zhang Jianlai heard the words and immediately understood the mystery and said: "So that's it. Thank you for your guidance, senior!"
The old beggar waved his hand and said, "You don't need to thank me, this is your opportunity!"
With that said, the old beggar said to them: "Since you have decided to practice together, then I will send you to the Novice Village of the Heritage Hall. You can stay there for a while first!"
"Thank you, senior!"
They quickly bowed and thanked him.
The old beggar nodded, threw two pills to them, and said: "Eat them and you can quickly restore your cultivation. You should practice hard in Novice Village and strive to reach the foundation building stage as soon as possible. At that time, you can accept the inheritance hall. It’s a test, and when that time comes, you can leave!”
After hearing these words, Guan Mingyue and Zhang Jianlai were both stunned, with strong curiosity rising in their hearts.
The old beggar continued: "Here, mortals must learn spiritual skills and pass the assessment before they can leave. If they are not strong enough, they will be trapped here forever!"
Hearing these words, Guan Mingyue couldn't help but feel frightened.
"I understand, senior, don't worry, Mingyue and I will definitely work hard to practice." Zhang Jianlai said eagerly.
"Haha! I hope so! Come in!"
After saying that, the old beggar waved his right hand, rolled up the two of them, and instantly entered a new world.
...
"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering the new copy 'Trial'!"
"Host, please be prepared!"
"Ding, the trial will begin soon, host please complete the task as soon as possible!"
"Ding, the system prompts the host to complete the task within ten seconds and be rewarded with five million points!"
Before Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue could react, a system prompt sounded in their ears.
They were still wondering what the hell this thing was, and were about to take a closer look, but a cold voice suddenly sounded in their minds.
[You are now the trialists of Novice Village. The trial task is: kill ten golden elixir stage monsters! 】
Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue were stunned when they heard this.
Golden elixir stage monster? !
Does such a thing exist in this world? !
However, they then realized that this was a mission they had just obtained, and it seemed that it was a very dangerous mission.
"Mingyue, what should we do now?" Zhang Jianlai asked.
"Don't panic, the soldiers will stop you, the water will cover you, the earth will cover you, just practice with peace of mind!"
Zhang Jianlai calmed down a little after hearing her comfort.
In this way, Zhang Jianlai and Guan Mingyue began their journey of experience.
The outskirts of Novice Village are almost barren and barren. There are no woods, no pastures, no gardens, no lakes, not even a blade of grass.
This is a very terrifying sight, as if there is no other living thing in the whole world except the two of them.
"This place is really desolate!" Zhang Jianlai sighed.
Guan Mingyue looked at the desolate environment around her and was a little worried, and said: "Brother Jianlai, we shouldn't have agreed to that stinky beggar, which made us unable to find our way."
"We'd better find the monster as soon as possible!" Zhang Jianlai comforted.
The two walked for a while, and suddenly a black figure appeared in front of them.
"Brother Jianlai, it's a monster. Look, it's a huge bat!" Guan Mingyue said excitedly.
"Bat?" Zhang Jianlai looked surprised.
"It's a bat, but we have to kill the golden elixir stage monster to complete the mission!" Guan Mingyue reminded.
"Understood!"
"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the golden elixir phase bat mission. Killing the golden elixir phase bat will earn you 100 points! Your cultivation level will increase by 1 point."
Hearing the system's beep, Zhang Jianlai was startled, and then said: "You can still get points for killing golden elixir-stage bats? You can also improve your cultivation. It seems we have met a treasure!"
"Brother Jianlai, what are we waiting for? Rush up and kill it!" Guan Mingyue said impatiently.
Zhang Jianlai frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mingyue, wait for me here, I will try first."
"No, I want to go with you!" Guan Mingyue firmly refused.
"No, Mingyue, although we have come to the world of cultivation, I still want to protect your safety. You stay here and wait for me to come back."
"But......"
Looking at her eyes, Zhang Jianlai knew that she was reluctant to leave.
So, Zhang Jianlai took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me, trust me!"
After hearing these words, Guan Mingyue nodded and said, "Brother Jianlai, you must be careful!"
"Yes!" Zhang Jianlai nodded.
"Brother Jianlai, I'll wait here for you to come back!" Guan Mingyue said and sat on the ground.
Zhang Jianlai nodded, then turned and flew towards the huge black shadow.
It was a giant bat that was tens of meters long, covered in pitch black, and had four pairs of sharp black wings on its back. It looked extremely terrifying.
