The apricot blossoms are endless all the way, and the more they go in, there are mostly dead branches at the foot of the mountain, but the above mountain is full of seasons.

These apricot flowers are small and exquisite, with moist petals and bright and transparent, just like carved from amber or jade. When everyone walks in it, they only feel the eyes are dazzled and dazzled.

Sniffing lightly at the tip of your nose is a refreshing fragrance, and you have forgotten the world at this point.

Seeing their expressions, the old man walked and introduced: "The apricot trees planted in my Xinglin Villa are already innumerable. Now is not the season for apricot blossoms to bloom, so only the apricot blossoms on the mountain and a few mountainside valleys will bloom, and you can't see them all."

"When it is March and April next year, the apricot blossom season will bloom, and the mountains are like a sea of ​​flowers, which will be spectacular. Hundreds of thousands of apricot trees bloom together, and the flowers are blooming in the forest, like snow, like a snow country. It is not only the first wonder in Nanxing County, but also one of the top ten wonders in the entire airplane snow area."

“Top Ten Wonders?”

Everyone's eyes were bright, and they were amazed, curious about what the top ten wonders were, but the old man in purple just smiled and didn't say much.

After a while, everyone came to a flat valley. There were many apricot trees in this area, but the special thing was that the trees were very spaced apart, and a giant stone tablet stood every three or four feet above the ground of the apricot tree.

These stone tablets are of different colors and sizes, and most of them are very old, with wind and rain, broken corners, or there are no words on them, or even if there are words on them, most of them are blurred.

But at this moment, under these stone tablets, a disciple of Xinglin Villa dressing sitting cross-legged, with his eyes closed and meditating. Some of these people were clean and tidy, while others were dark and wrinkled. They were even covered with fallen flowers and dust. I don’t know how long they had been sitting here.

However, no matter who it is, they are silent. Even if someone passes by, they are mostly solemn and slow in their steps, as if they are afraid of disturbing something.

In the woods, people are constantly joining and leaving.

The whole forest was so quiet that it was a bit abnormal.

The old man in purple shrewd and walked quickly with them. Everyone felt that the atmosphere in the woods was a bit strange, and they did not dare to say anything, without stopping. They followed silently and walked out of the woods quickly.

Finally, I saw the sunshine outside, and the stone tablets had disappeared. A disciple couldn't bear it and asked curiously: "Elder, what was that just now?"

"I knew you would ask."

The old man in purple seemed to have expected it. He smiled and said, "That is the Liuhe Stele Forest, one of the five holy places in my Xinglin Villa. It contains countless martial arts techniques. If you are destined to be a good person, you can come in to comprehend and learn, or gain something."

"Martial Arts Techniques?"

Everyone was immediately moved. Looking back, the stele forest no longer seemed inconspicuous, but seemed to have suddenly shone brightly.

Many people have already made up their minds. Once the ceremony of becoming a formal disciple of Xinglin Villa is over, they will come over to comprehend the stone tablet and try their luck. Maybe they will be able to understand a high-level martial art, or even a magical technique, not necessarily?

The old man in purple saw their thoughts. Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. If Liuhe Stele Forest had such a good understanding, Xinglin Villa would have already had a group of high-level disciples, so how could it have become the lowest-level existence among the six major sects of the Qi Dao cultivation.

However, he would not take the initiative to speak up to dampen their enthusiasm. After all, it is a good thing to be willing to come here to comprehend, and no one can tell what the opportunity is.

Once upon a time, there was an ordinary alchemy boy who was only in the second level of Qidao. He learned a Qidao practice method called "Three Flowers Gathering Sword" in this Liuhe Stele Forest. It was a high-level Qidao sword technique that even some inner disciples would envy.

Everyone continued to walk forward, turned a valley, and suddenly opened their eyes. What appeared in front of everyone were twelve giant peaks of Tian, ​​surrounded by rings, shaped like lotus flowers, and they were now under the first peak.

A priest didn't know how many, but he was afraid that at least thousands of steps of huge white marble ladders would appear in front of everyone.

The stone steps are unobstructed on both sides, and there are cliffs on both sides, just like hanging directly in the air, helpless and unbearable, hanging down straight into the sky, reaching the top of the mountain.

The old man in purple pointed and said, "At this time, this is the twelve consecutive mother screens on the outermost side of the valley. To enter the real inner valley, you have to pass through this 9999-level stone staircase, also called the 'ladder to climb the sky'."

"ah?"

Everyone was shocked, and then everyone looked bitter. Looking at the huge peak that penetrated into the sky, one of them was still unwilling to give up and said, "Elder, there is no other way to lead to the inner valley?"

The old man in purple smiled slightly: "Yes."

Just as the disciple was happy, the old man in purple immediately rushed him to the eighteenth level of hell.

"But that's not for you."

"Ah, why?"

Seeing that everyone was confused, the old man in purple explained: "The road to cultivation is easy to do and difficult to do, just like this ladder to climb the sky, and it is daunting to look at it, and the more you go up, the more difficult it is. However, if everyone is afraid of difficulties, who can reach the top?"

"My Xinglin Villa accepts disciples, and the main focus is on nature. Therefore, if you really want to join me Xinglin Villa, you must pass this ladder to heaven. If you can't even get through this, how can you achieve higher achievements in the future in the alchemy, martial arts realm, etc."

"this……"

All the disciples looked at each other and could not speak out.

"certainly……"

Speaking of this, the old man in purple smiled and did not hurt their morale much, saying, "This is just a requirement for new disciples. Every new disciple of Xinglin Villa has to take this trip. When you get the nameplate representing my disciple of Xinglin Villa, there will naturally be another shortcut for you to go, and you don't have to climb this ladder every time."

"Ah, so that's how it is. I'm scared."

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If they had to pass through these thousands of stone stairs every time they went up and down the mountain in the future, they would be a hard work.

However, if you just want to leave this time, it will be nothing serious. Instead, you can't escape it. Everyone has this experience.

"Let's go..."

"Walk!"

The woman in white took the lead, the young man in purple, and the young man in blue did not fall behind, followed closely behind, the boy in red and the girl in green, and the young man in green, Tang Gu, Shui Xue, and the young man in blue did not compete with them, but walked at the end.

They were worried all the way, but fortunately the stone staircase did not shake, and the people were not ordinary people, so they soon reached a high place. However, when they turned around, they found that the purple-clothed elder was not behind them at all and had disappeared without a trace.

Even the two other elders were missing.

"this?"

Everyone looked at each other, and the young man in green smiled bitterly, "Don't think about it, the three elders must have passed another road and arrived in front of us, I'm afraid they have already been waiting for us on the top of the mountain. It's useless to think more, go!"

"Too."

Half an hour passed, and everyone was finally sweating profusely and reached the top of the peak one by one. Sure enough, the three elders of Xinglin Villa who had long disappeared were standing at the top of the peak, looking at them with a smile.

The old man in purple clapped his hands and said, "It's not bad, the speed is quite fast, so we didn't let us wait for a long time. Keep following up, and we'll be in the inner valley right away."

"yes."

All the disciples agreed, and then followed the three elders to continue walking down. While walking, everyone also looked at the scenery of the inner valley. After all, this was the real location of Xinglin Villa. From now on, they would spend here for years, even decades.

At this time, when I looked down from the top of the peak, my sight was naturally different. I saw that I had just seen outside the valley and thought that the inner valley was very small, but in fact I was blinded by a leaf.

Now it seems that the inner valley of Xinglin Villa is amazingly large, with a range of dozens of miles. Countless buildings with mountains and mountains are distributed in height and staggered throughout the inner valley. They are divided into east and west by a huge dark blue lake, arranged neatly.

Most buildings are on the east side, but there is a large area of ​​medicine fields opened up on the west side. The purple-glorious elixirs are shining with purple light. During the growth, they are covered by transparent shields. In this fashion, many medicine children work in it.

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers over the medicinal fields, forming a thin light mist that lingers over the inner valley of Xinglin Villa, making the concentration of spiritual energy of heaven and earth here far exceeds that of other places, like a fairyland.

The twelve giant peaks they saw just now were like twelve hanging jade pens, surrounding the inner valley of Xinglin Villa, like barriers, guarding them in the middle.

This is not an inner valley, it is clearly a small city hidden among the deep mountains and blue lakes. However, its prosperity is still better than that.

This scene naturally made Tang Gu and others, who were the true face of Xinglin Villa for the first time, were overjoyed. No matter what, just talking about the rich spiritual energy above the valley, practicing in such an environment will definitely achieve twice the result. It is a blessing in the cave that cannot be obtained for no amount of money.

"Hey, that's..."

Suddenly, a huge fiery red peak appeared in front of everyone. The fiery red peaks were filled with smoke, and from time to time, flames spewed out, illuminating the entire sky with dark redness.

Dozens of different caves of various sizes were opened around the mountain, and people were in and out from time to time.

This mountain is one of the twelve peaks around the inner valley of Xinglin Villa, but just now everyone could only see the outline outside and was not sure about its specificity.

The old man in purple introduced: "This is the Earth Fire Peak, one of the Twelve Divine Peaks. Under the mountain range at the bottom of the peak, there is an Earth Fire cave that can attract Earth Fire to refine elixirs. Most of the alchemy rooms in my Xinglin Villa are opened there, and some fire-attribute exercises are practiced there. So you will deal with it in the future."

"oh!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but realize why there was such a strange existence in such a place in such a fairyland.
