It was just getting light and the roosters were crowing outside the courtyard.
Lying on the big wooden bed, Liu Mang was woken up by the crow of the rooster and opened his eyes.
He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time, and he couldn't help but stretch.
Last night he returned to his own yard in Chizhu Peak, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. He was really too tired.
Anyone who is hacked and chopped off even if his head is lost in a day, even if he can use the attribute bar to heal his injuries, the mental fatigue can only be recovered through rest.
Liu Mang was lying on the bed and didn't want to get up. He thought of the conversation with Fang Qingtang last night and couldn't help but smile.
The other party invites him to attend a birthday party in two months. What gift should I prepare?
At the same time, another figure couldn't help but appear in his mind. He didn't know how she was doing now. He would know when he returned to Jiangcheng.
Liu Mang shook his head and jumped up from the bed.
After briefly washing up, he rushed to Mr. Zhong's yard at the top of the mountain.
When Liu Mang arrived, he found that Li Bingqiang, Yang Zhe, and Huang Saixian had all arrived. Everyone came to see them because they were worried about Mr. Zhong.
But Mr. Zhong's room was always closed, and there was no movement inside.
"Master Zhong must have gotten up at this time before. Why are you still up so late today? Is something going to happen?" Huang Saixian asked worriedly.
"Probably not." Seeing the three of them looking at him, Liu Mang muttered slightly, "Master Zhong's injury is not healed, how could he come out so soon?"
There was something he didn't say in his mind, maybe he was too tired last night, and a young girl like you would definitely not understand.
Several people waited outside Mr. Zhong's courtyard for a full two hours. Huang Saixian couldn't help but wanted to rush in several times to take a look, but was stopped by Liu Mang.
At this time, when he heard a "squeak", Mr. Zhong Shiran came out.
Several people looked at it one after another, with surprise in their eyes.
However, they discovered that Mr. Zhong’s original hunchback had disappeared, and his stature had grown much taller than before, now reaching over six feet.
And he did not wear the red and black cloth clothes he usually wore, but put on a light blue silk clothes, making him look much younger.
The half-white hair has obviously been combed by someone, and this person is obviously not Mr. Zhong himself.
Seeing the surprised looks of several disciples, Mr. Zhong blushed slightly and scolded, "What are you doing here? There is plenty of energy in the world in the early morning, so it is a good time to practice boxing."
Liu Mang smiled and said, "Aren't we here to pay homage to Master's Wife?"
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Mr. Zhong also laughed and scolded, "Well, you tough guy, I haven't even settled the score with you yet, but you are making fun of me!"
Liu Mang even said he didn't dare. Several people chatted casually at the entrance of the courtyard, but Mrs. Wen had no intention of coming out.
I guess it's because I'm a thin-skinned woman and it will take some time to get used to it.
At this time, a maid came up from below and reported, "Peak Master, the disciples of Huangji Peak and Qingxu Peak want to see you."
Li Bingqiang thought for a while and said, "We won the first place in the Sky Fire Conference. According to the practice of previous years, we should be able to open the Red Devil Pool today."
Zhong Yulong nodded and asked the maid to invite the other two disciples from the main peak.
Huang Jifeng's visitor was Sun Chen, the top player in the last Heavenly Fire Conference. He had a lightning pattern embroidered on his chest and carried two crossed golden butterfly knives on his back.
The man from Qingxu Peak had a rather rough face and was wearing a green Taoist uniform with a large turtle character embroidered on it.
The two of them saluted Mr. Zhong respectfully and said that the two peak masters invited him to ask if they could open the Red Devil Pond today.
"If Master Zhong has not recovered yet, you can wait for another two days. Anyway, these are the most active days of the Red Devil Pond, and it doesn't matter if it takes a few days." Sun Chen said.
"It doesn't matter, I don't have to compete, it's more than enough to just host a ceremony!" Zhong Yulong waved his hand and gave the two of them a direct answer in the affirmative.
After hearing this, the two of them left. Zhong Yulong said to his disciples, "I want Tieniu to use the Red Devil Pond alone this year. Do you have any objections?"
"No, no, it would be a waste for me to give this Red Devil Pond to me. My junior brother is extremely talented and will definitely get unimaginable benefits." Li Bingqiang said.
"The Red Devil Pond has the best effect only the first time it is used. Why should we compete with our junior brother for this year's opportunity?" Yang Zhe also said hurriedly.
"It's all thanks to the Sixth Junior Brother that we at Chizhu Peak can overcome this difficulty. Not to mention this year, I can give it to him every year in the future!" Huang Saixian did not hesitate.
Liu Mang declined a few words, but everyone insisted that he should have it exclusively this year and he refused any further.
From the mouths of several senior brothers, Liu Mang also learned about the origin and efficacy of the Red Devil Pond.
The three main peaks of Tianhuo Mountain Range, Chizhu Peak, Qingxu Peak and Huangji Peak guard the tallest Immortal Peak. However, Immortal Peak is extremely cold and has an abnormal climate, so no one can stay there for a long time.
Only for a few days in December each year does the temperature drop enough to allow people to enter.
At this time, in the Immortal Cave inside Immortal Peak, the five Red Devil Pools can be activated through special rituals.
If you enter the Red Devil Pond at this time, ordinary people will be able to get unimaginable benefits, and your vitality, blood and spiritual sense will be improved. And the better your qualifications, the more benefits you will get.
However, the activation time of the Red Devil Pool is very short. If more people enter, the benefits will be shared among everyone and become weaker. Therefore, Zhong Yulong decided to let Liu Mang enjoy it exclusively this year.
Naturally, the other people had no objections at all and instead gave their full support.
After hearing this, Liu Mang also secretly looked forward to the Red Devil Pond. It seemed that his strength was expected to improve further.
"You all get ready, follow me to Immortal Peak later." Zhong Yulong glanced at everyone, and finally stopped at the gray top Liu Mang was wearing, frowned and said, "Aren't Tieniu's clothes ready yet?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go to Aunt Lin to get it right away." Huang Saixian said hurriedly.
Soon Liu Mang got the red clothes embroidered with the word "罴" exclusive to Chizhu Peak and put them on directly.
He is tall and the clothes he wears need to be customized to fit him.
After some preparation, they followed Zhong Yulong down the mountain, and then walked towards the Immortal Peak in the center of the three peaks.
At the entrance of Immortal Peak, there are disciples from the other top five peaks in this Tianhuo Conference, namely Qingxu Peak, Goddess Peak, Golden Rooster Peak, and Qingluan Peak.
In addition, there is also Bao Zhuoru, the peak master of Huangji Peak. Because his disciple did not make the top five, he came alone. There must be something that requires the three peak masters to work together.
When Qingxu Peak Master Li Jiawei saw Zhong Yulong coming, he couldn't help blowing his beard and staring, "Old Ghost Zhong, I suffered a big loss this time, you need to compensate me well!"
"Okay, okay, so many disciples are watching. Just come to my peak to discuss it at night." Zhong Yulong said helplessly.
The two of them walked at the front, leading everyone to climb the highest and most mysterious Immortal Peak in the entire Tianhuo Mountain Range.
