Gu Li stepped into the misty path first, and her charming back disappeared immediately.
Liu Mang entered two steps later, but after entering, Gu Li was nowhere to be found.
The surrounding scenery is the same as the mountain peak I have seen before.
It's just that the trees, flowers, plants, and rocks next to it all seem to be covered with a layer of gray, making it look unreal.
At the same time, an invisible wave swept across, and Liu Mang's eyes gradually became confused, as if they had lost focus.
When we reached a turning point halfway up the mountain, an old man with a white beard that only reached his knees jumped out.
His beard stretched long to the ground. Although he was short in stature, his head was not much smaller than that of an ordinary person, and his appearance looked quite strange.
But when Liu Mang saw him, a very cordial feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
I feel that this person is closer to me than my dearest relative, Mother Liu, and is more trustworthy.
"Have you had breakfast?" This was the first sentence of the old man with the white beard.
"Eat." Liu Mang replied with a smile.
"What did you eat today?"
"White porridge, fried cakes."
The white-bearded old man and Liu Mang were engaging in unnutritious homemaking, and Liu Mang didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Of course, he hasn't lost some habits.
For example, I will check the property bar from time to time.
After a subconscious check, Liu Mang was stunned.
In the attribute column, the column that belongs to the lifespan at this time was originally pure green.
At this moment, it seemed to be covered with a layer of gray dust, a little unclean, as if the windows were dirty.
After this column, you can see a small plus sign, which means that this abnormal state can be eliminated.
The habit that had been engraved in the deepest part of his soul made Liu Mang press the plus sign without thinking.
Suddenly, a cool feeling rushed to the top of his head, and Liu Mang's eyes returned to clarity.
In an instant he understood everything.
This kind of questioning should be able to temporarily confuse other people's minds.
And this old man with a white beard can make you tell the truth.
The previous conversation was just a prelude, so that the subsequent questions would not appear abrupt.
Sure enough, the white-bearded old man chatted with him, and then they talked about the Galaxy Sect, and the content of their words became more casual and divergent.
"What are you doing in Xinghe Sect? After all, you don't have spiritual roots, and you can't become an immortal."
"Entrusted by a friend to help her take care of her sister."
"Didn't another sect send you to be an undercover agent?"
"That's not the case."
"Do you have any ill intentions towards Xinghe Sect?"
"No."
"Have you ever come into contact with anyone from the Zhong Optimistic Sect, the Immortal Gourd Sect, or the Corpse Exorcist Sect?"
"No."
"Has anyone asked you to bring a message to the disciples of the Galaxy Sect?"
"No."
Regarding the security-related issues of the Galaxy Sect, the white-bearded old man asked hundreds of questions. It can be said that all aspects have been considered to prevent anyone from exploiting loopholes.
Seeing that Liu Mang's answer was correct, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's getting late, I'm going home first."
Liu Mang smiled and waved to him, and the two said a friendly farewell.
The white-bearded old man's inquiry should be a routine matter for every major sect.
In fact, even if Liu Mang did not use the attribute bar to clear the exception, his answer would not change at all.
Because he really doesn't have any ill intentions towards Xinghe Sect.
Liu Mang continued to climb up the mountain along the path.
After a while, he met a cute little brown squirrel.
Its soft brown hair is as shiny as oil, a big fluffy tail, and two smart eyes like black pearls.
The squirrel jumped in front of him and said, "Hey, human being! You are so ugly, even toads are prettier than you!"
"You think being ugly can scare me? Well, you succeeded."
"You scared me, I'll fuck you!"
These words were fired continuously like a machine gun.
Liu Mang suddenly felt a surge of anger rushing into his heart, and wanted to give this arrogant squirrel a good beating.
But due to his previous experience, he was mentally prepared, so he forcibly resisted the desire to take action, and instead took a look at the attribute column.
I found that the life span column in the attribute column seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.
Liu Mang directly clicked the plus sign to eliminate all negative effects.
Suddenly, he felt a coolness in his brain, and the anger that had just arisen in his heart also disappeared.
Sure enough, in this secret realm, your mind will be affected from time to time.
The impact this time will be to infinitely amplify the negative reactions in people's hearts.
And this time the test should be to see if I am a murderous person?
Liu Mang felt funny. Even if he didn't clear the abnormal state, he wouldn't kill the squirrel. At most, he would beat it.
He would never kill someone just because someone scolded him, it had nothing to do with the other person's strength.
And after he returned to normal, he didn't want to worry too much about this squirrel.
But if you do nothing, you may expose your current status.
Liu Mang thought for a while, then turned around and slapped the squirrel, which stunned the squirrel and sent it flying about a foot away.
The squirrel cried for its mother and ran away into the distance.
Its body shape also flickered for a while, almost losing its hold. It was obviously not a real animal.
Liu Mang continued to climb, guessing what he would encounter below.
At this time, Xinghe Sect was in a closed hall.
Two old men wearing burgundy robes with seven stars and one river tattooed on them were sitting in front of two crystal balls, frowning at the scenes projected in the balls.
One ball shows Gu Li, the other shows Liu Mang.
"This strong man is too weak in temperament. Can he protect the Lord well? If you practice one way, you should kill decisively."
"Forget it, he is not an official disciple of our sect after all, so the requirements don't have to be so strict. Elder Lu told me last time that he doesn't like the kind of thugs who beat and kill at every turn."
"Hey, this guy Lu Xiping has always been such a coward. If he is allowed to participate in recruiting disciples, it will be our sect's misfortune!"
"These two people are from Bing Yun. Bing Yun has a bright future. Maybe from now on we will all look at her face instead of looking at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha."
After discussion, the two old men decided to let Liu Mang pass.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Mang still didn't know that he had made a mistake and met an elder who liked to kill the decisive sect members, and almost failed to enter the sect.
As he was climbing the mountain, he suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was shattered, the world was spinning, and he came to a new world.
Looking around, you can see rolling green peaks and green water in the distance, with beautiful and elegant pavilions in the middle.
There are red-crowned cranes about the same size as humans dancing, four-horned elk covered in golden smooth fur running, and small silvery palm-sized fish with transparent wings leaping up from time to time above the lake...
The spiritual energy in the space is much richer than that of the Tahoe Dojo outside. Just take a sip and you will feel refreshed.
Liu Mang and Gu Li stood side by side, both of them looking up blankly at the scene above their heads.
High in the sky, there are seven inverted purple peaks suspended, the edges of the peaks are filled with purple halo, and between the major peaks, there are tumbling rivers of five-color clouds.
You can see huge luminous spiritual ships sailing in the river of clouds from time to time, people riding strange beasts with bird heads and lion bodies, and Taoists flying with swords filling the air with glowing light.
Right above each mountain peak, you can see a dazzling silver star, which seems to be not much higher than the mountain peak, lighting up the world below.
"These are the radiant stars of the Galaxy Blessed Land. Some say they are the peak souls of the Immortal Peak, while others say they are the projection of stars from the outside world."
A beautiful woman in royal attire slowly descended on a black flying carpet and smiled at Liu Mang and the others.
She looked to be in her thirties, with fair skin, watery eyes, and red lips that seemed to be shining with luster.
Although her overall appearance is worse than Gu Li's, her mature and charming style is beyond the reach of Gu Li.
The flying carpet floated one foot above the ground and then stopped.
The beautiful woman in palace attire sent an invitation to Liu Mang and Gu Li: "Please. If you are new to our Xinghe Sect, you must go to Wanxiang Peak to register and receive a disciple token."
The aura of this beautiful woman has suddenly reached the peak of foundation building, and she is only one step away from the golden elixir.
Liu Mang sighed in his heart, ordinary disciples would definitely not be treated like Gu Li if they came here, it would be nice to have someone above them.
"Hello, uncle." Gu Li bowed respectfully.
Liu Mang stood motionless behind Gu Li, his expression dull, like a tool man without emotions.
He had thought about it before coming here. Qi training disciples like Gu Li would definitely have to salute frequently in the sect.
In order to avoid trouble, I'd better pretend to be wooden. Presumably these Immortal Sect disciples won't care about me as a strong man.
Sure enough, the beautiful woman in palace attire only glanced at Liu Mang, then turned her attention entirely to Gu Li.
The three of them stood on the carpet together, floating high into the sky seemingly slowly but really quickly.
The carpet is surrounded by a translucent white light film to protect it, and you can see that the scenery below is getting smaller and smaller.
Standing on the carpet, you can still clearly feel the acceleration in the first few breaths, but then you feel nothing at all, it is extremely smooth.
The beautiful woman in palace attire took care of Gu Li and communicated with her eagerly.
Her name is Mo Caiyin, and she and Liu Mang have popularized a lot of common sense about the Xinghe Sect.
The seven fairy peaks above the head have different functions.
For example, Xianglu Peak is mainly responsible for refining elixirs, Yuding Peak is mainly responsible for refining weapons, Zangjing Peak contains many secret books and secrets, and Tianyu Peak imprisons sinners.
Tengyue Peak is inhabited by disciples who are above the foundation level, and Shengxian Peak is where the sect leaders, elders and other important people live.
The Wanxiang Peak is more complex. As the name suggests, there is a place for newcomers to register, a warehouse, a mission hall, a punishment hall, etc.
In addition, the disciples under the foundation are not qualified to stay in the seven immortal peaks and can only stay in the pavilions on the ground below.
The carpet flew towards one of the seven upside-down fairy peaks and penetrated the purple halo outside the fairy peak.
Suddenly, Liu Mang felt as if he had burst out of the water.
The spiritual energy on the top of the Immortal Peak is ten times and a hundred times thicker than the area below!
There are many exotic flowers and fruits on the peak, and in many places the colorful glow fills the air.
The beautiful woman Mo Caiyin took them to a four-story luxurious palace called "Yingxin Pavilion".
There, Gu Li and Liu Mang both registered their personal information and quickly received their own tokens and standard clothing.
Gu Li's is an exquisite jade-white token, with seven stars and a river engraved on it, and Gu Li's name in ancient seal script on the bottom.
Her clothes are light blue cassocks, which feel cool when touched.
Liu Mang's token was an ordinary mahogany token. It didn't even have a name, only the word "temporary guest" and an eight-digit number below it.
The clothes are gray silk clothes, which may be quite good in ordinary people, but in the immortal sect, they seem quite poor.
After getting the token and clothes, Mo Caiyin said to the middle-aged man handling the affairs: "In view of the newcomer Gu Li's rich background, Master Xie recommends her to enter the Yinghua Academy."
The middle-aged man glanced at Gu Li in surprise, and then took out a dark blue scholar's square scarf with dragons and phoenixes painted on it, with a slight luster shining on it.
Gu Li and Liu Mang left with Mo Caiyin.
Gu Li asked curiously: "Uncle Mo, where is Yinghua Academy?"
Mo Caiyin smiled slightly: "The Yinghua Academy has gathered geniuses at the qi training level of our sect. The sect will spare no effort to cultivate them in the hope that they can build a foundation as soon as possible."
Gu Li nodded thoughtfully.
She didn't know that there were an estimated 100,000 Qi-training level disciples in the entire Xinghe Sect. However, there were less than a hundred students in the entire Yinghua Academy.
Inside the Yinghua Academy.
Many men and women wearing light blue robes and dark blue scholar's scarves were sitting upright on futons, listening to the lectures of a monk with a strong aura in the front.
After the monk left, everyone began to exchange their thoughts enthusiastically.
"With the accumulation of spiritual power, breaking through the realm will be a matter of course. It's simple to say, but how many people can do it?"
"If you want to see the scenery at a higher place in the future, you can only grind slowly. Unless you don't want a future, you can take the so-called Foundation Establishment Pill."
"It's hard for us, but it's easy for Mr. Lu, Mr. Qin, and Fairy Guan."
"Hey, their goal is far more than just building the foundation, but they are also focusing on the secret realm that is about to be born."
When communicating with others.
A snow-white carrier pigeon flew in from the window, turned into a paper dove, and landed in the hands of a fat white man.
The fat man opened the paper dove and looked at it, then smiled and said: "Everyone, there is something new. Tomorrow we will have a new person here, a female nun with a good background."
"Oh, who is it? Brother Chu, please stop showing off?"
"Speak quickly, Brother Chu, speak quickly!"
Fatty Bai smiled and said: "This woman's surname is Gu, and her last name is Li. Before joining our sect, she had already reached the peak of Qi training."
"You're actually a beginner in art? And you were able to get into Yinghua Academy right after you started. How deep is your background?"
"The surname is Gu Xi... he's not a member of the Bingyun Master's tribe, is he?"
"Master Bingyun is currently ranked second among many true legends. And his momentum is like a rainbow. He has great intentions of competing with Master Liehuo for the position of headmaster in the future."
"Is there any other information about this woman?"
Fatty Bai shook his head and said: "She just came here, how could I know so much? Hey, she also brought a strongman, I think it's called Han Li."
"Lux? What's worth paying attention to?"
"Although the sect has an order not to bring powerful men into the family within three years, it is naturally not a problem for us."
"It seems that she also came here for Master Shouzheng's secret realm."
However, no one noticed it.
One of them, a beautiful young female cultivator, changed her expression suddenly after hearing the name Han Li.
