Except for being stopped by Bai Xuanjue at the foot of the mountain to search for souls, Gou Zhu and the others did not encounter any obstacles in signing up in the inner courtyard.

A Wu Yuan only needs to hand over 10,000 Pure Yang Pills, and one person has reached the two conditions of building the foundation sixfold, and the entire Wu Yuan can enter the inner gate, and all the members of the Wu Academy will become inner disciples, and they don't even need everyone to sign up.

Therefore, only Tong Yao arrived in Hecang Shiwu Courtyard, and it was easy to pass. The Pure Yang Pills they used were all transferred by Lian Ping directly from the Treasure Cave.

After Gou Zhu inspected the cultivation realm on the spirit test stone, and then handed over 10,000 pure yang to the deacon disciples of the inner court, he immediately got the dongfu talisman, and also changed into the gray Taoist robe of the inner disciple.

Soon after settling in the cave, the deacon told them that they could rest in the cave for the night and set off for the land of the deer the next morning.

In the first year of entry, the inner disciples must participate in the battle of the Five Elements Sect, but this is counted on a unit. As long as one person from any Wu Yuan participates, it can be regarded as the completion of the task of participating in the battle of the deer.

The battle for the deer was very dangerous. In the past, some lowly cultivators not only failed to produce the effect of training, but instead increased casualties. Therefore, according to the practice of previous years, each Wu Academy also selected a few elite disciples, and then the disciples of multiple Wu Yuan formed a group to participate. Each group is also four to five people, led by an inner court deacon.

Each group has a different time to sign up for the inner house, so the departure time is also different. Most of the newcomer groups actually set off a few days in advance. Lian Ping transferred the 20,000 Pure Yang Pills used by the two Wu Courtyards from the Treasure Cave to enter the inner courtyard and encountered some twists and turns, so it was the latest to seduce them. But there is still time to do it. The battle for the deer began on November 15 and lasted for a month. It doesn't matter if you're late, as long as you can test a beast core on the end of the day, the experience is complete.

At this time, it is only the seventh day of November, and there are still seven or eight days to hurry slowly.

On the second day, Gou Zhu was taken aback again. It is said that the leader of each group is usually a deacon who has built a foundation of Yae or higher. But Gou Xuan suddenly saw that the one waiting for them to set off together at the foot of Cuizi Peak was actually a dirty and unkempt weird old man Bai Xuanjue!

They were actually led by the acting elders of the inner courtyard themselves?

They saluted and asked about it. Bai Xuan replied nonchalantly, because they set off too late, and all the deacons who could be used had already led the team away. Several deputy elders of the inner courtyard had to stay behind to deal with the affairs of the inner court, so he could only lead the team personally as an old man.

The simple way they get around is on horseback. Although Bai Xuan can never escape, it is too consuming of true qi. The Jade Palace also has a large flying artifact that can carry hundreds of people to fly. But that thing, like using a wooden kite, requires a large amount of pure yang pills to be consumed. They generally don't use it unless they are particularly particular about pomp and circumstance.

From the Jade Palace to the Night Blind Mountain on the border of Yuzhou, it is more than 3,000 miles all the way. Of course, they couldn't ride horses all the way, but they would first ride three hundred miles to Yuntian City, where there was a large teleportation array set up by the Five Elements Sect, which could teleport them directly to the land of chasing deer. After all, the battle of the deer was one of the major events organized by the Five Elements Sect, and the cost of transmission was nominally directly borne by the Five Elements Sect.

SkyCity is also not a small city. It's a pity that after Gou Zhu saw Fenglu City in the third continent, he no longer feels so unusual.

The history of this city is much longer than that of Golden Jade City, the largest city in Golden State, by the sea. Long before Hao Zheng was sent to Jinzhou, Yuntian City already existed, and it was the only way to travel from Guizhou in the north and Tongzhou in the west to Jinzhou, an important link in the east-west-north-south trade route, which existed for at least thousands of years. Many famous families are entrenched here. Before King Yun, this place was the capital of Jinzhou.

It was because it was difficult for King Yun to gain a foothold here, so he continued to go southeast to the seaside and set up the palace in Jinyu City. Unexpectedly, in more than ten years, Jinyucheng developed like bamboo shoots after a rain, and soon became the largest city in the southeast of the Houtu Empire, even inferior to those big cities in Guizhou.

Compared with the extravagance and delicacy of the Golden Jade City, Yuntian City, which has not changed for almost a thousand years, seems a little dull.

The first thing Gou Zhu saw was the extremely old city wall, most of which was dilapidated, and the black masonry was covered with grass. Walking into the city, the streets are narrow and paved with ashlar stones, and it took me many years to grind these stones so smooth. Under the eaves, water drops and stones pierce, leaving many small holes. The old walls were crawling with vines.

The Gu clan is a big clan in Yuntian City, but the forces in Yuntian City are mixed, in addition to the Gu clan, there is another big force that should not be underestimated, that is, the Five Elements Sect Cloud Heaven.

The Five Elements Sect Cloud Heaven was originally a family of monks, surnamed Su. This tribe is a Tu tribe. But after submitting to the Five Elements Sect hundreds of years ago, the Five Elements Sect built a large teleportation array here that could communicate with various states. Relying on the continuous income of this conveyor array, the Su clan developed extremely rapidly, faintly overshadowing the Gu clan's momentum. The original Su Mansion has also expanded countless times, occupying almost a quarter of the area of Cloud Sky City, and has become the hall of the Five Elements Sect in Cloud Sky City, named Cloud Heaven.

On the eighth day of the first month of November, it was already late when Gou Zhu and the others arrived at Cloud Heaven, so they found an inn to sleep for the night. It wasn't until the next day that he came to the teleportation array of Cloud Heaven Heaven.

This teleportation array is a huge altar with a radius of one hundred zhang. The altar is more than ten zhang high, the whole body is cyan, and there are stairs spiraling up around it. In Cloud Sky City, everyone looked up and could see it from miles away.

The teleportation array was surrounded by spiritual powers, and the entire array was shrouded in colorful red, blue, and purple spiritual light. Although this altar has no roof, it is protected by the prohibition and protection of the surrounding area, and it cannot enter the wind and rain. From time to time, there was a flash of inspiration on the altar, and the wind and clouds changed accordingly, and it was the teleportation array that was constantly transporting batch after batch of monks to various parts of the eight states.

The entrance to the altar is heavily guarded, and it is where the payment is made. Teleporting here is expensive, more expensive than using a flying mage, but it's quick and fast. Bai Xuanjue walked into the payment office sloppily, but he didn't take out a penny, but took out an invitation card issued by the Five Elements Sect to fight the deer.

"Hmph, it's another master who doesn't pay money!" The steward behind the window stared at Bai Xuanjue and saw that this was actually a Xudan Daoist, and his heart sank slightly. But as soon as he found out that the person who came was from the Jade Palace, he rolled his eyes, and snorted coldly.

Although Yun Heaven's strength was not as strong as that of the Jade Palace, they considered themselves to be directly subordinate to the Five Elements Sect, that is, they regarded themselves as part of the Five Elements Sect. And the Jade Palace is the lower sect of the Five Elements Sect. The upper sect is against the lower sect, of course, they are one level higher.

They didn't want to think about it, Yun Heaven's disciples had never been qualified to be sent to the Five Elements Sect General Altar to cultivate. The reason for this is that to the Five Elements Sect, they are just a group of slaves who are responsible for guarding the teleportation altar.

All the lower sects that participated in the battle of chasing deer, the transmission costs of the disciples were borne by the Five Elements Sect. Therefore, Bai Xuan only needs to show the invitation, and all fees can be waived. It's just that this fee will not be subsidized by the Five Elements Sect to Cloud Heaven anymore. In other words, in fact, Cloud Heaven is the real wrongdoer. It's no wonder that they gritted their teeth with hatred, but they didn't dare to say a word. After all, they are actually just taking care of this teleportation array. The real master is still the Five Elements Sect.

Because of this, they have to verify everyone one by one to avoid these cases carrying private goods and letting people take a free ride. When the invitation was sent, the images of each person to be transmitted were transmitted to the jade slip in charge, and he took it out and carefully compared everyone that Bai Xuanjue had brought.

Gou Zhu, Tong Yao, and Wood, there is nothing unusual. Only when he saw Huang Lu's appearance, the steward seemed to be taken aback, and then looked at it carefully twice, and a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes. But after a flash, he casually threw out five medals to everyone.

"Put the cards away. If it is lost, it will not be replaced!" After speaking, he waved his hand coldly and motioned for them to get out of here.

As soon as they left, the steward didn't care how many people were still queuing up behind, he got up directly, put things aside, and ran to the back hall by himself, causing a lot of scolding from behind.

He rushed to the back hall, pushed a door, knelt down tremblingly, and said excitedly: "Elder Wang, I have seen it with my own eyes when I sent an order to find that person today. ”

"Oh?" the man in the room looked up from the desk, but it was an old man with a round face and white hair. His face was kind, his voice was soft, and he carefully stuffed a jade slip into the hand of the steward, and said, "See clearly? Is this really the person? The eldest lady's temper has not been very good lately." ”

The man pinched the jade slip in his hand, and a painting of colored ink and danqing came into his mind. With a few strokes, it depicts a young woman with smiling eyebrows and flying aura. Isn't it the beautiful female cultivator named Huang Lu who came to the Jade Palace just now?
