When Feng Xi and his party arrived at the Netherworld Empire, it was already the zenith of the moon. In the dark night, they could only see a huge shadow passing quickly in the sky.
…
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
There was a knocking sound outside the door.
Feng Xi opened the door and was not surprised to see the high priest.
Mo Qian smiled lightly and said: "Master Feng Xi, long time no see, how are you?"
"It turns out to be the high priest, please come in!" Feng Xi smiled and turned sideways to let Mo Qian enter the room.
Feng Xi raised her hand and poured him a glass of water: "It was past midnight when I came back last night. It was too late, so I didn't bother anyone anymore."
Mo Qian nodded in thanks, took a sip of water, put down the water glass and said: "I didn't notice it last night, and I didn't realize you were back until I woke up today. Did your trip go smoothly this time? Thank you for your hard work!"
Feng Xi smiled heartily: "The high priest is polite. There are no surprises when I go this time. I just had some other adventures, so it is a worthwhile trip."
"That's good. Langyan distributed the salt produced this time to everyone early in the morning, and stored the rest. I have seen that this salt is even slightly better than that of the Shark tribe. Master Feng Xi really
It is wisdom that is unparalleled."
"Haha... The high priest has given me a reward. I can't call him unparalleled in wisdom. He just made a little use of the wisdom of his predecessors." Feng Xi waved her hand quickly.
It's just making salt. If we reach the 22nd century, most people will know the principle, but it seems a little different in this other world.
"By the way, why don't you see your Majesty? The tribesmen in the empire know that you are back, and they specially held a banquet in the square early today to welcome you and wash away your dust. Why don't you go over now?"
"That's fine!" Feng Xi nodded, "He's practicing, I'll call him."
She rested after she came back last night. When she got up this morning, she discovered that Shi Ming had not slept last night, but had been practicing.
She is quite happy that her apprentice is working hard to make progress, but she still has to be more cautious!
As soon as he got up, Shi Ming, who was practicing on the couch, opened his eyes.
"Eh? Did you hear what we said? That's just right, let's go now!"
Shi Ming nodded, got out of bed and tidied his clothes.
"I got a lot of spiritual stones this time, which is enough to practice for a long time. With the spiritual stones, I don't have to worry about the lack of spiritual energy. So, you don't have to rush to practice. Eat when you need to eat, rest when you need to rest, relax and know
Have you? Cultivation is important, but you also have to temper your state of mind!"
Shi Ming lowered his eyes and nodded helplessly for a while, "I know, I'm just too impatient..."
"Let's go. Now that we're back, let's relax! There are still things to do next!" Feng Xi dragged Shi Ming downstairs.
"High Priest..."
"Your Majesty, it's really hard for you this time..." Mo Qian stood up.
"It's okay. With Feng Xi here, there won't be much danger."
If it weren't for Feng Xi and the phoenix, it would have taken a long time just for them to come and go, not to mention making salt and going to the far north!
"Come on, let's go. We are all so familiar with each other, so we shouldn't be polite here, eh?" Feng Xi pushed them and finally walked out the door.
Feng Xi looked at Mo Qian who was talking to Shi Ming and sighed in her heart.
Unexpectedly, meeting the little mineral essence that opened her spiritual intelligence this time would actually bring out the memories that had been buried deep in her heart for many years.
The first time she met Mo Qian, she felt that his clean aura made her feel extremely friendly.
Speaking of which, he and Senior Brother Liuguang have many similarities. They both like to wear white clothes, have the same friendly and approachable temperament, and have the same pure and cold temperament...
But after all, it was just a resemblance, and she also understood that her old friend had passed away, and she would never see that person as bright as the moonlight again.
Having said this, all I can do in the end is to sigh helplessly...
"Why are you unhappy?" Sensing the emotions of the person next to him, Shi Ming turned his face sideways and looked at her lowered eyes.
Feng Xi chuckled lightly and shook her head: "I'm not unhappy. I just saw the high priest and reminded me of someone..."
Shi Ming's slender eyelashes fluttered, suppressing the discomfort in his heart, and asked softly: "Who is it?"
Mo Qian was also a little surprised. He was only surprised for a moment, and then chuckled: "I don't know, Master Feng Xi, has an acquaintance who looks like me? Can you tell me?"
The people around Beichen who were eating meat and various delicious berries also stopped chewing and stared at her curiously.
Feng Xi sighed and drank the wine in his hand: "Well, let me tell you a little story!"
"The story begins with a nameless little boy, that is, a male..." She paused.
From the moment he can remember, the little boy has no idea who he is, where his home is, or who his parents are. He has been wandering on the streets since he was a child and is a little beggar.
If you can get food, you just eat a little. If you can't get it, you go hungry! The sky is like a blanket, and the earth is like a blanket, and the stars are accompanying you every day. But there are rules among beggars. A weakling like him is destined to be
To be bullied.
Occasionally, if you meet a kind-hearted person, you may be able to get a steamed bun, but it may be snatched away by other older children in the next second, and you may have to be beaten in the end; if you are unlucky,
Just when I met a clean and irritable person, when I saw the little beggar's dirty appearance, I couldn't help but dislike it. In a word, I can tell people to get the obscure beggar. Anyway, anyway. Anyway, anyway. Anyway, anyway.
, there are so many people coming and going on the street, but no one will spend time and energy to defend a beggar who is nothing! No one cares who made the mistake first, and no one knows that even the beggar
, it will also hurt...
The days just go by day by day.
Then one day, there were rumors that the Immortal Sect on the Immortal Mountain was going to recruit disciples. Anyone could participate. As long as they took the spiritual root test and passed the sect test, they would have the opportunity to enter the sect. Talents
Those who are high up may even have the chance to be accepted as disciples by elders, masters and others to teach immortal magic!
The little beggar was very happy when he heard the news. He thought that he finally had a chance to change his life. Even if he could enter the sect and work as a dishwasher and chopper, as long as he had food to eat and water to drink, he wouldn't have to be beaten or bullied every day.
Very good too!
The Immortal Mountain is extremely far away, and the children of powerful aristocratic families have their elders to send them there. Even ordinary people can spend some money to hire vehicles and horses. The little beggar has nothing, no money, and no food, but
He always had faith in his heart! So even though it was difficult, he walked to the legendary fairy mountain.
When he was hungry, he ate the bark of wild fruit trees; when he was thirsty, he drank dew and rainwater, and traveled day and night. Fortunately, he met a kind man on the way. He saw the little beggar fainted on the way, so he rescued him and asked him about it.
After leaving, he took him along the way to Fairy Mountain.
Finally, before the Immortal Sect Grand Trial, we finally reached the legendary Immortal Mountain!
The Fairy Mountain is indeed as rumored, towering and tall, filled with fairy spirit. The thousand-step long ladder in front of the mountain gate is the first step for the little beggar to change his life.
The Immortal Sect has regulations. Anyone who comes to participate in the grand test must first climb the thousand-step ladder and climb the Immortal Mountain with their own endurance before they are eligible to participate in the spiritual root test!
The thousand-step long ladder is towering and steep, with no end as far as the eye can see. There is a formation on it. Anyone who walks up the long ladder will bear several times the pressure. It is the most difficult road the little beggar has ever walked...
Even though he was bruised and bruised, the little beggar gritted his teeth and never gave up, and finally climbed up the fairy mountain!
