Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and the scholar met at the gate outside the county city and rushed to Longling Mountain together.
As for the Taoist school homework, it is simple.
Chu Chen went to the dean and explained his intention. The dean readily approved the leave, but told him to be careful with Yunyun.
There is no other reason. Going into the mountains to experience it is also a kind of practice.
The Taoist monastery encourages its disciples to go into the mountains to hunt for treasures and fight with demons, so that they will not lose their bravery and bloodiness due to staying in a "comfortable" environment for too long.
In fact, the Taoist Academy itself has an assessment for mountain experience.
If you want to graduate from a Taoist academy, going to Longling Mountain for training is an indispensable part.
Longling Mountain is more than two hundred miles away from Guangping County, which is very far away for ordinary people.
But for monks, it's not that far.
Chu Chen and the others did not cast spells to rush on their way, but rode on spirit horses.
This spiritual horse is not a living creature, but the scholar's calligraphy treasure.
After entering the eighth level of Taoism, the scholar's painting skills became more and more sophisticated.
The horse in the painting is no longer a flying horse with wings on its back, but an ordinary horse, nothing surprising at first glance.
But when they actually rode it, Chu Chen and Wang Ping realized that the speed of the spirit horse after sitting down was much faster than the previous Pegasus.
The spirit horse steps on the clouds and wind, hovers at low altitude, and gallops at an astonishing speed.
This [Lingju] calligraphy treasure is an eighth-grade calligraphy treasure from the Eight Classics, and is valuable.
If it were given to Qingying Longnu and put up for sale at the Dilong Merchant Guild, I'm afraid it could be sold for hundreds or even thousands of jade coins.
The scholar was quite generous to his friends and gave them to Chu Chen and Wang Ping.
In addition, Huang Fugui also had a share, and Xiucai sent it to Fugui immediately.
Wang Ping was very touched by receiving such a valuable gift. He found an excuse later and returned a very valuable gift to the scholar.
When they arrived at Chu Chen's place, the scholar asked Chu Chen to accept the gift and not to think about returning the gift or anything else.
In addition, he also told Chu Chen many times not to mention the equal value of calligraphy to rich people, just treat it as an ordinary painting, just like when the three of them met, and just accept it casually.
Chu Chen smiled and had no intention of rejecting the scholar.
Today's scholars are no longer what they used to be. He has condensed his artistic talent and is worth a lot of money.
It really corresponds to the original joke - be rich and honorable, don't forget each other.
The three of them had known each other since they were young, and they seemed to be at odds with each other because they had so many arguments.
Sometimes, when a favor is owed, the relationship becomes closer.
How to make friends with people the fastest.
It's not about being kind to the other person, but about being indebted to the other person.
"Xiucai, I really envy you. You have condensed your artistic talent and your painting skills to perfection. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, with this ability, you don't have to worry about money at all, and the wealth will come rolling in."
As he rode the spirit horse over the cloud forest, and the vast green forest passed by his eyes, Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh.
As the relationship became closer, he, like Chu Chen, also called Xiucai.
Now that the scholar has become more confident, he doesn't mind outsiders calling him a scholar, but is proud of it.
"It's not as light as you said."
The scholar shook his head, his words full of emotion.
Outsiders only see that he is bright and beautiful now, and have a prosperous path to immortality, but they don't know what kind of suffering he went through not long ago, how much pain and loneliness he endured.
As he said that, Xiucai looked at Chu Chen who was standing aside.
Perhaps, the best friend in the world knows him best, better than his parents.
Chu Chen smiled at him and said with a smile:
"Scholarships also have to go through hard work to achieve this level of achievement. It is not easy."
Wang Ping didn’t understand the details and didn’t care. He continued to ask with a smile:
"Xiucai, you can make a lot of money by selling calligraphy treasures. You have much more money than Brother Chu and I, so why go into the mountains and take risks?"
The scholar shook his head and explained:
"I go into the mountains to hunt for treasures and make money. The real purpose is to gain experience and observe the natural creation of the world. If nothing else, even fighting monsters is quite beneficial to me."
"If nothing else, let's sit down on the spirit horse. My master will find a horse that rides on the clouds and let me watch it for a few days. Only then can I make a breakthrough in my painting skills."
"Selling calligraphy treasures can certainly make money, but if you indulge in it, you are putting the cart before the horse. For me, understanding the natural way of heaven and earth is the right way."
It has to be said that the scholar has undergone earth-shaking changes in the past two months.
The way he behaves is a little more calm and confident.
He doesn't even like to brag about his bullshit. Every sentence is frank and convincing.
Wang Ping thought it made sense and kept saying yes.
Only Chu Chen secretly laughed in his heart.
The scholar is indeed confident, and even bragging seems to be invisible, pretending to be invisible.
The three of them were talking and laughing as they galloped along.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the jungle outside the Longling Mountains.
Entering Longling Mountain, Chu Chen and the others did not dare to drive the spirit horse across the mountains and fields in such a high-profile manner.
This kind of behavior is too arrogant and can easily become the target of public criticism.
The three of them accepted the calligraphy treasure without saying anything.
One by one, they cast spells with hidden auras.
After these days of practicing [Diamond Psychic Sword Technique], Chu Chen has gained some insights into the secrets of the great avenue, and also has a new understanding of [White Crane and Purple Zhi Escape]. These days, he has been meditating on the top escape technique [White Crane and Purple Zhi Escape]
Escape], very effective.
However, he still hasn't mastered [White Crane and Purple Zhi Escape], at least he can use [Egg Yolk Formation].
Fortunately, the spell [Egg Yolk Formation] is not bad either. It belongs to the second level of concealment. It can hide the detection of spiritual consciousness and converge the aura.
Currently [Egg Yolk Substitution] is completely sufficient.
Once activated, Chu Chen's aura becomes ethereal and elusive, and it goes deep into the mountains. As long as he does not deliberately show his body and aura, it is difficult for others to detect him.
Wang Ping and Xiucai also used their own secret methods.
Wang Ping took out a thunder bead and held it in his hand. There was a flash of lightning on his body, and his aura disappeared.
Wang Ping called it the "Thunder Shadow Bead", which is a secret spell of the Wan Lei Sect.
Like the spell [Egg Yolk Formation] practiced by Chu Chen, it belongs to the second level of concealment and cannot reach the level of shielding the secrets of heaven.
The scholar took out a pair of calligraphy treasures.
What is depicted in the painting is a monk wearing cloud clothes, looming in the clouds and mist, his breath is misty, and it is quite artistic.
The scholar threw away his calligraphy treasure.
The next moment, the calligraphy treasure turned into dots of brilliance and poured into the scholar's body, finally blending into it.
Yun Yi covered his body, and the scholar completely disappeared.
His body shape, spiritual consciousness and aura were all gone.
Chu Chen scanned with his naked eyes and spiritual consciousness, but could not find any trace of the scholar.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen used the power of Eye Yuanjun to use his spiritual eyes, and then he "saw" the scholar grinning at him and Wang Ping.
"How is it? My calligraphy treasure [Yun Yinyi] is pretty good, isn't it?"
"good!"
Chu Chen and Wang Ping commented one after another.
The failure displayed by the scholar Mo Bao [Yun Yinyi] also belongs to the second level of the concealment method, and it is still a relatively powerful one.
The three of them didn't say much, and went straight to the group of fragrant trees in Wangping that the two scholars had mentioned.
After half a day of trekking, we finally arrived at our destination.
Sure enough, a large area of Jiangzhenxiang tree appeared in front of Chu Chen.
Chu Chen, who had learned the art of making incense, was quite familiar with spices and quickly found many authentic spices.
Unfortunately, the time has not yet come.
"Just wait, I think it's just a matter of these two days."
Wang Ping vowed to do so.
Chu Chen nodded.
However, he didn't sit back and wait.
Immediately, he used his spiritual eyes and magical powers and began to observe his surroundings.
