There were seven or eight disciples gathered in twos and threes in front of the hall, all familiar faces.
Xu Longxiang, Yang Qingshan, Wang Heng... These guys are all new disciples who have been selected since the rookie competition.
And at the front of these disciples, stood an old man wearing a purple robe and holding a green silk whisk.
This person is Huang Changqing, one of the elders of Xingchen Peak.
This time, it was Elder Huang who led the disciples to the mountains and rivers.
"Senior Brother Shen is here!"
When Shen Mo arrived, many disciples greeted him one after another.
"I've met Senior Brother Shen!"
Looking at the respectful salutes one after another, Shen Mo returned the salutes one by one.
Last time, with his performance in the Rookie Battle, Shen Mo had already earned the qualification to be respected by everyone based on his strength.
If he didn't like to socialize, and he had been locked up in the cave for a month to practice, I don't know how many new disciples wanted to invite him to a party, have a drink, and make friends.
"Is everyone here?"
"And Lu Ming, Senior Brother Lu hasn't come yet!"
"Come here, come here, that stream of light should be Senior Brother Lu Ming!"
Everyone gathered together and just as they were talking, they soon saw a purple stream of light flying from the distance.
Finally, he landed in front of the temple.
The person coming is none other than Lu Ming.
"I'm sorry, my practice has delayed my time and made all my brothers and sisters wait for a long time."
Lu Ming felt a little embarrassed when he saw everyone's eyes focused on him.
"Senior Brother Lu, please don't be polite, we have just arrived."
"Yes, Senior Brother Lu has become the disciple of the Peak Master, so his training tasks must be heavy. It is normal for us to wait for a while."
Yang Qingshan and others were very respectful and polite to Lu Ming.
After all, in the world of immortality, strength is respected.
Regardless of his qualifications, combat prowess, and talent, Lu Ming is one of the new inner sect members of this generation who outperforms all the others, not to mention his status as a disciple of the Peak Master.
How come no one fawns over you?
Shen Mo saw Lu Ming surrounded by everyone and sighed in his heart.
Even those who are cultivating immortals are still human beings after all, and they cannot escape the temptation to follow others’ influence just like ordinary people in the secular world.
However, although Lu Ming responded to these people's compliments, he was arrogant and distant.
Only, Shen Mo is quite different.
"Brother Shen's aura is much stronger than during the Rookie Competition. It seems that he has gained a lot from his practice during this period."
"There is indeed some progress."
Shen Mo did not deny Lu Ming's initiative to talk to him. He nodded and said, "But I am only a little lean. On the contrary, Brother Lu's progress is much faster than mine."
Although Lu Ming's aura is reserved, Shen Mo has the destiny of [eyes like a torch], so it can be seen that his condition is far better than the initial stage of the rookie competition.
Obviously, becoming the disciple of the peak master brought him quite a lot of benefits.
"The great love of my master has indeed given me many resources for practice."
"However, I believe Brother Shen will not drag me down too much."
Although he defeated Shen Mo in the rookie battle, Lu Ming didn't have any sense of superiority towards Shen Mo as his defeated opponent.
On the contrary, they recognized his strength and potential.
"I have also met many powerful people in the peak this month. When I come out of the mountains and rivers, I plan to hold a peer summit."
"Invite all the brothers and sisters to join us for a banquet and exchange. We will communicate more in the future. If we encounter some problems that cannot be solved, we can support each other. If we encounter cave ruins that are too much to eat, or sect tasks, we can also form a team to go together. ”
"When the time comes, Mr. Lu will send an invitation to Brother Shen. Brother Shen must not refuse."
Lu Ming had been in the peak for a month and had not seen Shen Mo come out for any activities, so he thought he was a reclusive cultivator.
So there is this saying.
"If Brother Lu invites you, Shen will definitely not refuse."
Lu Ming likes him, and Shen Mo naturally does not resist his invitation and intentions.
If you can make more friends with talented people, you will have more options in the sect in the future.
The conversation between Shen Mo and Lu Ming made it difficult for other disciples to get a word in.
After all, the two of them can be considered to be on the same level, and the other disciples are a little too reluctant.
At least, Lu Ming does not recognize other people.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, we can set off."
Soon, Elder Huang counted the number of people and saw that all the new disciples in Xingchen Peak who were qualified to enter the Mountain River Realm had arrived.
Immediately, he waved his sleeves and led everyone to rush to the teleportation array in front of Zixiao Palace.
........
Linjiang Sect, in front of Zixiao Palace.
A huge stone altar runs across the center.
The material of this stone altar is made of special spar, which is pure white and stain-free, and is engraved with extremely complex pattern totems.
This is the teleportation formation of Linjiang Sect.
Through this teleportation array, you can travel to many areas within the Linjiang Sect's sphere of influence.
As one of the five major immortal sects in the Chi Yan Kingdom, Linjiang Sect’s teleportation formation is no small matter.
However, its area of influence and control covers four continents, hundreds of cities, and Linjiang Sect's industries are everywhere.
The Xuanjing mining area that Shen Mo and Chen Mengze went to before was just the tip of the iceberg.
However, if this teleportation formation is to be opened, a large amount of spiritual stones will be consumed.
Normally, disciples are on their way and will not go through this teleportation array unless they have urgent matters.
Only the missions and activities of the sect will pass through the teleportation array.
Not long after Shen Mo and others arrived at the teleportation formation, disciples from the Rising Sun and Mingyue peaks also took their positions one after another.
Like Star Peak, the other two peaks each sent an elder to lead the team.
In addition to the disciples of the Three Peaks, those inner disciples who were not selected and could only practice casually, but who were qualified to go to the Mountain and River Realm for training, were also here.
Elder Huang exchanged a few words with the other elders from the two peaks who came over.
Shen Mo, on the other hand, glanced at the personnel composition of Rising Sun Peak and Mingyue Peak.
In this rookie competition, Star Peak has had a great harvest, so there are not many disciples from the two peaks who deserve attention.
Among them, the strongest one in Rising Sun Peak is Lu Xu, who ranks third among the rookies.
As for Mingyue Feng, Qian Sun is ranked fourth among the rookies.
After this month of practicing at the peak, their cultivation levels have also improved.
But this kind of improvement is obviously not comparable to Shen Mo's increase, let alone Lu Ming's rapid improvement.
Therefore, if they are the only opponents in the Mountain and River Realm, Shen Mo should not have to worry about strong enemies confronting him.
Looking away, Shen Mo found Cao Ren among the disciples again.
"Shen Mo!"
Cao Ren saw him and hurriedly waved: "I'll go in later. You have to protect me more."
Shen Mo believes that his strength is enough to cope with possible confrontations and battles in the mountain and river realm.
But Cao Ren obviously didn't have the confidence, so he chose to hug his thigh in advance.
"Don't worry, when we enter the Mountain and River Realm later, I will act with your team and will not follow the Star Peak team."
This is the arrangement that Shen Mo has already thought of.
"Just the two of us as a team?"
Cao Ren was a little hesitant: "How about you talk to your fellow disciples in the peak and drag me in? You can take the elixirs and practice resources that we found as a team first. You just need to share some of the soup and water with me."<
/p>
"No, too many people would be troublesome."
Shen Mo shook his head and rejected the proposal. He had huge expectations for this mountain and river realm cultivation treasure hunt, which could not be satisfied by the small share after forming a team.
The elders quickly finished their greetings and began to tell everyone some news about entering the mountain and river realm.
This news let Shen Mo know that his preparations were not in vain.
"Different from previous years, this year's Mountain River Realm experienced people. Due to some reasons, not only our Linjiang Sect disciples, the Ghost Corpse Sect, and the new disciples of the Yanyue Sect will also come."
"There are no rules in the mountains and rivers. Fighting and confrontation are allowed, so if you encounter a disciple of the Ghost Corpse Sect or a disciple of the Yanyue Sect, you need to be careful."
"In addition, although the three peaks of our inner sect also have competition, if they are in front of the outer sect, they should put aside their differences and support each other, and do not let the disciples of our own sect suffer."
"In addition, this is a boundary-breaking talisman."
Elder Huang said, waving his sleeves.
Streams of light flew into the hands of the disciples present one after another.
"When you enter the mountain and river realm, if you encounter a critical moment, you can crush the talisman to escape from the secret realm."
"However, if you crush the boundary-breaking talisman, the only thing that will be transmitted is yourself. The various treasures you have obtained in the mountains and rivers cannot be brought out."
The Mountains and Rivers Realm, as a space relic fragment, was modified by Linjiang Sect into a training place for disciples, which was naturally modified with supporting space laws.
Crushing the boundary-breaking talisman is equivalent to admitting defeat and taking nothing with you. This has been the rule of the past.
"Ghost Corpse Gate, Yanyue Gate?"
"Why do they want to enter the mountains and rivers realm with us? Don't their own sects have similar space relics?"
When a disciple heard this situation, he couldn't help but ask.
"Huh." Elder Huang said with a proud smile on his face: "Not every immortal sect possesses treasures like space relics."
"Among the five great immortal sects, only our Linjiang Sect, Seven Star Altar and Tianjian Sect own it."
"This time, if the Ghost Corpse Sect and the Yanyue Sect had not exchanged their sect minerals with our Linjiang Sect, this mountain and river realm relic would not have been open to their new disciples."
