Although the ones who used to rush out at extremely fast speeds before were cultivators, through induction, Chen Tian discovered that their strongest abilities were only in the spirit realm.
And that mountain staircase that reaches straight into the sky has tens of thousands of steps at least. Climbing at such a speed takes a lot of physical energy. It won't take long for their spiritual energy to be exhausted.
However, there are also smart people, and there are many cultivators among the crowd. They all wisely choose to climb slowly one step at a time.
As for Chen Tian, keeping a low profile has always been his principle, so he also blends in with the crowd and pretends to be an ordinary person.
"The earlier you start practicing cultivation, the better. If you are over forty, unless you are a genius, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything in your life."
Looking at those gray-haired old people, Chen Tian sighed secretly in his heart, and then climbed up slowly without saying much.
Chen Tianke couldn't do such a vicious thing when he knew someone was not good enough, but still attacked him with words. Besides, ordinary people also have the right to pursue cultivation.
However, many old people were out of breath and crumbling after climbing thousands of steps. One of them had to be helped by someone to avoid the risk of falling down the tall and steep mountain stairs.
As for Chen Tian, climbing these mountain stairs was no challenge to him at all, but in order to deceive others, he pretended to be an ordinary person. At this time, he was relying on his superb acting skills to look out of breath.
Time passed by, and by the time they reached the third pole that day, everyone had climbed tens of thousands of steps. At this time, out of a team of tens of thousands, there were only about a thousand people left.
Chen Tian's back was already wet with sweat at this time, and he looked in great pain, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
For him, actually getting some sweat out was just like playing, and he was pretty good at pretending.
We continued walking like this, and when we finished two-thirds of the mountain stairs, there were only a few hundred people left. Among these people, they were all young and energetic people, and there were also a few teenagers.
Chen Tianze is the most unusual. This is entirely because he is wearing the vest of a middle-aged man at this time, and he can be regarded as "outstanding".
Even so, no one paid attention to him because everyone was extremely tired at this time and had no time to care about other things that had nothing to do with them.
Finally, several people withdrew. When the scorching sun dropped from the top of the mountain, everyone who was hungry, thirsty, hungry, and tired after a day of climbing finally reached the top.
At the top, the majestic mountain gate stands, with lush vegetation in front of the gate, and two stone statues of strange monsters placed on both sides, which are lifelike and give people an inexplicable pressure.
At this time, there were about a dozen young disciples and a middle-aged man standing in front of the door waiting. They waited until Chen Tian and others came up before they made any move.
"It's very good. In previous years, only about 50 people could successfully reach the summit. This year, there are twice as many people."
The middle-aged man led the young disciples forward. After taking a look at the number of people, he nodded lightly.
"Suspicious." Suddenly, the middle-aged man's face showed surprise, and he looked at Chen Tian with interest.
The people who could successfully climb to the top were all young people with some skills and high spirits, but Chen Tian who came up wearing a vest really left them speechless.
"Elder Deacon, do you want to drive him away?"
One of the young men, with a look of pride in his eyes, pouted at Chen Tian with great disdain and said.
As soon as these words came out, those who successfully climbed up all followed the young man's eyes and looked surprised when they discovered that there was actually a middle-aged man who came up with them.
Feeling that the eyes around him were all focused on him, Chen Tian's heart tightened, but he didn't show it. He immediately looked anxious and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, brothers, gods, gods, gods, am I okay?
It's easy to come up here, so just let me stay."
Hearing this, the disciple of the Shadow Killing Sect laughed, but Lian Shan's arrogance was even greater. These cultivators, in the eyes of ordinary people, originally existed like gods.
"You have passed your best cultivation age, so you should give up on this idea and go back obediently." The young disciple said loudly without showing any mercy.
This sentence contained a personal attack, but Chen Tian didn't care at all. His acting skills were truly astonishing. He was simply the number one actor in a fantasy world. He cried, made trouble, hanged himself, and finally stayed shamelessly.
"Being able to climb up smoothly means that his physique is far from ordinary. We happen to be short of disciples in our sect who can cook fires and chop wood, so let him stay and help. Ying Yi, take them down to rest first and make arrangements for them tomorrow.
arrange."
Finally, the middle-aged man waved his hand, left these words, and left with the other disciples.
"Thank you, Brother Immortal. Thank you, Brother Immortal." Chen Tian was so moved that he burst into tears and kept saying such words.
"Okay, stop yelling, it's annoying."
The one who stayed behind, Ying Yi, said this impatiently, waved his hands to the thirsty and tired people, and then led them into the Shadow Killing Gate and headed towards the back hill.
While walking along the way, Ying Yi was also talking about the rules of the Shadow Killing Sect and some things about the Shadow Killing Sect.
Through Ying Yi's explanation, Chen Tian gradually gained some understanding of the situation of the Ying Kill Sect.
The Shadow Kill Sect is divided into a front mountain and a back mountain. The back mountain is where new disciples live. In the Shadow Kill Sect, there are a total of four elders and one leader.
Regarding the leader, Ying Yi did not introduce much. As for the elders, they were the famous Elder Ying Shi, Elder Ying Lu, and Elder Shadow Fury. As for the other one, Ying Crazy was killed by Chen Tian.
Ying Nu is the middle-aged man Chen Tian saw just now. Chen Tian also met Ying Lu when he was in Qingfeng Town, not to mention that old bastard Ying Shi.
"I didn't expect the power in the Shadow Kill Sect to be so strong. It seems that if you want to take action, you have to plan carefully."
After understanding the specific situation of the Shadow Killing Sect, Chen Tian lowered his head and followed hundreds of disciples, his face full of indifference, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Finally, under the leadership of Ying Yi, Chen Tian and others were arranged to rest in the back mountain, and then someone brought steamed buns and gruel.
For this food, everyone who had been hungry for a long time swarmed forward and snatched it all in two or three times. Chen Tian also made a symbolic move.
"You can keep the news here tonight, and I will arrange work for you tomorrow."
After leaving these words, Yingyi turned around and left, leaving only the people who had had enough food and tea.
After Ying Yi left, the atmosphere in the room became lively. The young people gathered together in twos and threes, chatting with each other and expressing their longing for the cultivation life.
Of course, this does not include Chen Tian. No one looks at him. Apart from the generation gap in age, more importantly, everyone knows that they will never live in the same world in the future.
The world of cultivators is so cruel, and the weak will never get the so-called dignity and status.
Of course, Chen Tian didn't care, because they were not from the same world.
"I finally managed to sneak in." Lying on the cold wooden bed, Chen Tian used his hands as pillows and thought to himself.
Now, although he successfully sneaked into the Shadow Kill Sect, Chen Tian did not dare to be careless after learning about the power of the Shadow Kill Sect.
At this time, he sneaked into the Shadow Killing Gate. In addition to getting the incomplete parchment scroll, he also wanted to find Mr. Wang's granddaughter Wang Xueting and rescue her. The task was quite arduous!
"We'll wait until tomorrow. The most important thing now is not to make the first move, but to get the map of the Shadow Killing Sect." After establishing the first goal, Chen Tian closed his eyes and rested.
The next day, when the sky was dark, the shadow appeared at the place where Chen Tian and the others were resting. However, he only woke up Chen Tian, then took him to the front mountain and handed him over to the steward of the kitchen, and then he left.
Thus, Chen Tian's tragic life began, and his first task was to chop firewood.
"Chen Tian, a dignified Great Spiritual Master and fourth-grade pharmacist, has actually fallen to this level. Damn it."
In an open space filled with firewood, Chen Tian held an ax in both hands and viciously chopped at a piece of wood as big as a washbasin.
"Peng." A muffled sound came out, and the piece of wood the size of a washbasin was split in half, and then several more muffled sounds came out, and it was split into four parts by Chen Tian.
"Finally done."
After splitting the piece of wood, Chen Tian threw away the axe, then stacked the split pieces of wood, and Fang Zai clapped his hands.
He was assigned to chop wood here early in the morning. The quantity was beyond imagination. By the time he finished chopping the wood, it was already noon.
However, the good news is that as long as he chops the firewood, he doesn't have to do anything else, and no one will bother him.
There are tens of thousands of disciples in this Shadow Killing Sect, and most of them are cultivators. They are practicing every day, so there is no time to pay attention to this newbie like him.
At night, Chen Tian slept in the woodshed. During the day, someone would come and pick up the chopped firewood, and then someone would bring a piece of unsplit firewood.
In this unattended state, it only took Chen Tian three days to get a clear picture of the situation in the front mountain.
Qianshan is divided into four areas: east, west, north and south. The east is where the leader's line is, the west is where the shadow road is, and the south originally belonged to the shadow madness. Unfortunately, after shadow madness died, his lineage was taken over by the deacon.
Elder Shadowfury takes over.
To the north is the Yingshi lineage. Since his lineage teaches the art of refining medicine, there are very few people who can meet the requirements, only a few hundred disciples.
"It turns out that the place where Shadow History is located has a magic circle. It's quite troublesome to enter during the day."
Sitting in a dark corner of the woodshed, Chen Tian frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.
"However, those magic circles are not powerful. As long as there is enough time, they can be broken open."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Tian let out a breath, then slowly walked out of the woodshed, looking to the north, and said with a cold face: "The sooner we act, the better. We will take the opportunity to sneak in tonight and collect the remaining sheepskins."
