What surprised Shi Mu was that the map presented in front of everyone was not an ink scroll hand-drawn by an artist, but a real map with undulating terrain, dense forests, and houses.
The mountains, rivers, trees, palaces in the picture are all lifelike, and even the white Xuanling Pagoda stands in it, as if the entire yellow-stepped area has been reduced thousands of times before everyone's eyes.
Shi Mu and others were surprised. They all opened their eyes wide and glanced back and forth on the map.
"This is the overall topographic map of the Huangjie area. The area to the west of Wanyao Garden is your future living area. The yellow dots on the map are inhabited caves, and the green dots are vacant caves. You can choose from them.
The cave." Elder Hou said loudly.
Hearing this, everyone turned their gazes to that area and saw dots of light shining there. There were more than a thousand spots in total, and most of them were yellow, with only a hundred green spots.
The rest of the place.
This means that there are more than a thousand caves scattered in that area, and there are only more than a hundred for them to choose from.
"From now on, according to the ranking of the results of the Tianshui Qingshan Secret Realm Trial, choose your favorite cave abode from front to back. You only need to cover these green light spots with your spiritual consciousness to know the location of the corresponding cave abode.
The number of subordinate servants and the area of the spiritual land under their jurisdiction, including some special spiritual objects produced by them, will also be marked in detail. Once determined in the mind, the light spot in the cave will turn from green to yellow, and it will no longer be possible.
Let's change. Do you all understand?" After Elder Hou finished speaking, he asked again.
"Disciple understands." Everyone responded in unison.
"Zhao Ji, you are the first, you choose first." Elder Hou said.
Zhao Ji responded, then walked to the light screen, looked at the map, began to release his consciousness, and carefully selected.
However, within a moment, he retreated, and the light spot in a cave near the Ten Thousand Medicine Garden turned yellow.
There are only more than 600 servants in this cave, and the area of the spiritual land is not very large, but it is a treasure land with abundant spiritual power. There are three spiritual springs in it, which produce a variety of elixirs and spiritual materials. Almost all of this area
, the place with the richest products.
Elder Hou looked at Zhao Ji's neat movements and precise eyes, and there seemed to be more appreciation in his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Qing Changtian also stepped forward to check with his spiritual consciousness. It took him more than twice as long as Zhao Ji. Finally, with a look of hesitation on his face, he chose a cave not far from Zhao Ji.
But there are more than 2,000 servants attached there, and the spiritual land covers an area of ten thousand hectares. It is the largest cave in this area in both population and area.
After him, the top disciples went up one after another and chose their own caves.
By the time Shi Mu stepped forward to make a choice, almost one-third of the green light spots on the map had been reduced.
I saw him walking over quickly, and as soon as his consciousness was cast into the map, the green light in a cave immediately turned yellow.
The speed he chose was so fast, and the place he chose was only average in all aspects, so that everyone thought he didn't pay much attention to it and just randomly chose a place as his cave.
In fact, he had already decided which cave he would choose half a quarter of an hour ago.
The cave that Shi Mu chose was far away from the Ten Thousand Medicine Garden and was in a very remote location. There were only more than 300 servants attached to it, and the spiritual land it occupied was only a hundred miles in radius. There was only one spiritual spring in it.
There are only a few kinds of elixirs produced.
Judging from the locations of the dozens of remaining caves on the map and the resources attached to them, this cave is not really a treasure, but it satisfies Shi Mu's need to deliberately avoid other people.
Ma Long was a little surprised by Shi Mu's choice. He even felt that he had simply wasted his status as a high-ranking disciple. He quickly gave him a questioning look. Even Zi He blinked at him, but Shi Mu seemed not to
Seeing the same thing, he walked down slowly, minding his own business.
When passing by Lu Jing, Shi Mu even heard a sound of laughter coming from under the green cloth covering his face, but he didn't pay attention and just walked back to the crowd calmly and stood still.
At this moment, Shi Mu noticed that the elegant young man Zhao Ji glanced this way. There was no emotion in his eyes, but it made him feel faintly uneasy.
Because Shi Mu had fought with this person in the center of the secret trial realm before, and after leaving the secret realm, this person had been turning a blind eye to him like a stranger. Now he suddenly glanced at him, which made him feel more concerned.
…
A quarter of an hour later, the disciple ranked 108th also walked back to the crowd with a look of dejection, because there were only four or five places left for him, and neither the position nor the resources were satisfactory.
In the cave, there is almost no choice.
At this point, the matter of choosing a cave has finally come to an end.
I saw Elder Hou waving his hand to remove the map light curtain suspended in mid-air. Then he raised his hand again, and a blue-gray light suddenly lit up in his palm. Then he waved his sleeve, first thirty-six, and then seven
Twelve rays of light flew out from his palm and fell into everyone's hands one by one.
At the same time, his voice began to ring in the ears of everyone present:
"This is the Xuan Ling Bi and Qing Lan manual, keep it."
When the light dissipated, a square box appeared out of thin air in Shi Mu's hand. When he opened it, he saw a palm-sized cyan jade tablet and a roll of emerald green jade slips inside.
"That volume of green jade is simply the Qinglan Manual. It records many sect rules and codes of conduct in the Qinglan Holy Land. If anyone still has something they don't know about this first level, they can get the answer from this manual.
.In addition, at the end of the jade slip, there is also a panoramic map of the Huangjie area. You can use it when you can't find the target you want to go to." Elder Hou said again.
Shi Mu picked up the jade slip and looked through it briefly, then put it down, and then picked up the green jade tablet.
When Ling Feng took out the token, it just passed by in front of everyone. He didn't see it very clearly. It was only now that he could get a close look at this jade that was very important for his future practice in the Holy Land.
The Xuanling Wall looks like an ordinary jade tablet. It has neither exquisite patterns nor gleaming luster. It feels rough like frosted fingers. In short, it looks very ordinary.
Shi Mu slowly released a ray of spiritual consciousness into the jade, but received no response at all. He did not even feel a trace of spiritual power, as if it was just a stubborn stone and a dead object.
Not only Shi Mu, but everyone else also noticed this, with surprised looks on their faces.
"You need to inject a drop of your own essence and blood into the Lingbi and establish a blood contract with it before you can use it." At this moment, Elder Hou's voice sounded again.
When Shi Mu heard this, he immediately condensed a drop of blood essence on his fingertips and dropped it on the blue jade tablet.
As soon as the drop of bright red essence and blood came into contact with the Xuanling Bi, it was immediately absorbed and submerged, and then a red light lit up.
Shi Mu saw that drop of essence and blood penetrated into the inside of the jade, and then slowly spread and turned into a red leaf.
At the same time, the rest of the people also followed the old man's instructions and injected a drop of their own blood essence into the jade token in their hands.
"After the blood contract is established, the Xuan Ling Bi will truly be your private property. You only need to inject your own spiritual power into the jade bi, and your names will be displayed on the jade bi." Elder Hou saw that everyone was in agreement.
Having completed the blood contract, he continued.
A red light lit up at the tip of Shi Mu's finger and quickly shot into the jade wall. He saw the red leaf in the center of the jade wall suddenly light up, and his name was clearly written on it.
At the same time, under his name, there is a golden number, one hundred, which is exactly the number of Xuanling points he has at this time.
"Okay, you can leave now." After arranging and explaining all the matters, Elder Hou issued an order to expel the guests without ceremony.
"Thank you, elder." Everyone saluted and said.
At that time, the elder closed his eyes again and rested his mind as he did at the beginning, without saying anything more to the crowd.
After one hundred and eight new disciples withdrew from the service hall, they came to the forest. Without stopping, they summoned their own flying boats and speeding cars one after another, turned into a colorful stream of light and rose into the sky, flying towards the cave in the west.
.
After everyone flew over the Ten Thousand Medicine Garden, they arrived at Zhao Ji's cave a short time later.
The flying magic weapon that looked like a white cloud that Zhao Ji was riding on paused slightly in mid-air and was about to fall downwards.
"Senior Brother Zhao Ji, please stay." A call stopped him, but several foreign disciples activated their flying magic weapons and chased him.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Ji said coldly.
"We admire Senior Brother Zhao very much. It happens that the cave is not very far away. I hope that I can walk with Senior Brother Zhao more often in the future. By the way, I am Greedy Wolf Star Mo Lang..."
"No need, I never associate with incompetent people." Zhao Ji waved his hand and coldly cut off the man's words. The white clouds accelerated under his feet and fell downwards.
The people around him who originally wanted to strike up a conversation saw this embarrassing scene and had no choice but to retreat angrily and then surrounded Qing Changtian.
Qing Changtian is a person who doesn't reject anyone who comes, and he talks happily with the people who want to rely on him.
Of course, there were also some disciples who went to make friends with Chi Yangzi and other high-ranking disciples who were also among the top ten, but the number was far less than Qing Changtian.
After a while, Qing Changtian's cave also arrived. He greeted Shi Mu and others and left.
"snort!"
Chi Yangzi looked at his back, the anger in his eyes still undiminished, obviously still unable to let go of what he did in the secret realm.
Lu Jing was covered in belts and poisonous mist. He was not popular with others. Although he was among the top ten disciples, not many people talked to him. However, he didn't seem to care too much, just from time to time.
He glanced at Shi Mu with ill intentions.
There were only two people beside Shi Mu, one was Ma Long, and the other was Zi He who looked like a little girl.
Shi Mu had a lukewarm attitude towards the two girls, and answered their questions from time to time without a word.
In the end, Ma Long and Zi He got along very well, and the two women told each other the location of their caves and said they would move around frequently. (~^~)
