Chapter 226: Immortals
"It's up to the two of you to judge the specific criteria. As long as you think they can handle it, don't do it. You don't have to worry about anything, the trial of the true disciple will have to risk your life, and no one will dare to blame you afterwards. Although you are guards, you are also examiners, so you must be fair and impartial. Do you understand?" said the purple-robed man lightly.
"Yes. Su Tongxiao and Han Li hurriedly bowed their heads in response.
The purple-robed man snorted and glanced at the white-robed young woman beside him.
When the young woman looked at the man, she looked at each other without flinching.
The purple-robed man didn't say much, turned around, and galloped away into the distance.
The white-robed young woman glanced at Han Li and the others with a flicker, and finally her gaze stayed on Han Li for a moment, but the next moment, her body flew into the distance with the same turn.
And at the moment when the young woman turned around, a hint of alienation flashed in Han Li's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to normal.
Seeing the figures of the two disappear into the sky, Han Li and the two raised their heads and glanced at each other.
"Brother Su, that Ouyang Dao Master just now, could it be that Ouyang Kuishan, the ninth-ranked Dao Master?" Han Li asked.
"Exactly, the thirteen Golden Immortal Dao Masters in the sect rotate once every 100,000 years, taking turns to take charge of the sect. Now in charge of the sect is none other than Ouyang Dao Master. It's just that I didn't expect that the Cloud Lord also came with him, and left without saying a word, it seems that she shouldn't worry about her precious apprentice. Su Tongxiao nodded.
"Looks like they're ready to go, so let's go. Han Li's divine sense moved, and he glanced in the direction of the main hall.
In the main hall next door, those inner disciples had already set off, led by that Fang Yu towards the outside of the hall.
"Hehe, Brother Li doesn't have to worry. When they get farther away, we'll catch up slowly. Su Tongxiao waved his hand.
As a result, as soon as his words fell, a figure appeared in the side hall, and a gray-haired old man appeared, wearing the clothes of an elder of the sect, but it was an elder of the inner gate.
The gray-haired old man glanced at the two of them, and his gaze quickly moved away from Han Li and landed on Su Tongxiao, who walked over laughing.
"Hehe, Elder Su, you and I really haven't seen each other for many years. ”
"Elder Wang, it's a real blessing. Su Tongxiao smiled and greeted him.
Seeing this, Han Li faintly guessed something in his heart, and immediately closed his eyes and recuperated as if he didn't know.
The gray-haired old man didn't linger long, chatted with Su Tongxiao for a few words and left, and Su Tongxiao sent him to the door of the side hall.
Before saying goodbye, the gray-haired old man quietly stuffed a storage bag into Su Tongxiao's hand, and the latter put it away without looking at it.
As a result, as soon as the old man walked away, another middle-aged man walked in, and it seemed that he was also an inner door elder.
"Elder Su, this time it is indeed you who is the one who takes up the position of this secret guard. Dahan just swept his senses, and then automatically ignored Han Li's existence, and directly arched his hand at Su Tongxiao, and said with a smile on his face.
Elder Fan laughed, and it just so happened to be done. Su Tongxiao greeted him with a smile.
The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out a storage bag and handed it to Su Tongxiao.
In the following time, there was an endless stream of people in this side hall, and soon seven or eight waves of people came, all of whom seemed to be here to deliver things, and they all left after a short stay.
But Han Li knew in his heart that these people should be those elders who participated in the trial disciples, and they should have come here to take care of the juniors or disciples.
It's just that those people saw that they were not only born in person, but their cultivation was only in the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, and those gifts were naturally sent to Su Tongxiao, a mid-stage True Immortal.
Su Tongxiao did not refuse to come, and accepted all the gifts.
Han Li just sat quietly on the side, not speaking from beginning to end, but his heart was pondering the Cloud Dao Lord's words before leaving.
Bai Suyuan, who wants to protect herself, is thoughtful, and it seems that she does not seem to entrust this matter to Su Tongxiao, who is a higher cultivator.
This is a bit intriguing.
"Brother Li, I see that the hour is almost up, let's go now. Seeing that no one was coming again, Su Tongxiao immediately greeted Han Li and said.
"Good. Han Li opened his eyes and nodded.
......
On a towering peak in the north of the Zhongming Mountain Range, a bluestone hall is located here.
This is the northernmost Linchuan Pavilion of the Zhongming Mountain Range where the Candle Dragon Road is located.
The cold wind was howling outside the main hall, the temperature was much lower than in other places, and the snow was fluttering in the air, covering the sky, and there was a vast expanse in the eyes.
After Han Li and Su Tongxiao walked out of the main hall, they flew directly towards the north without the slightest pause.
After only half an hour, the two of them retreated.
Tens of thousands of miles in the air ahead, a huge flying boat was speeding forward in a sea of clouds like a wind and waves.
"Hehe, the rest of this section is quite easy, the two of us just need to follow slowly. In other words, since Brother Li started at the same time as Bai Suyuan, it should be less than a hundred years ago, how do you think this sect is compared to the outside world?" Su Tongxiao looked at Han Li and asked with a smile.
"The resources of the sect are all available, but if we want to obtain one or two, the price is not small. Han Li said with a wry smile.
"What Brother Li said is very true. If we who have no roots in the sect and do not have a special chance, how difficult it would be for us to go to the next level! Those offerings when we entered the sect were simply a drop in the bucket, and everything from then on would have to rely on ourselves. If you still want to make an inch of progress at this level, even if you have a mountain of gold and a sea of silver, it is not enough to consume, otherwise Su Mou will not be able to enter for more than ten thousand years before he can take this step. Su Tongxiao laughed at himself with deep sympathy.
"Offerings at the time of entry...... What is this?" Han Li was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"It's five hundred top-grade spirit stones and three immortal yuan stones, dare to ask Li Daoyou, who led you when you first started?" Su Tongxiao asked with a dry cough.
"Qi Liang. Han Li replied.
When Su Tongxiao heard this, he glanced at Han Li secretly, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.
However, the meaning of this was obvious, he was telling Han Li that those spirit stones and immortal yuan stones had been taken away by Qi Liang.
A hint of anger flashed across Han Li's face, but he didn't actually make many waves in his heart.
Qi Liang's behavior is in the Candle Dragon Dao, I am afraid that it is already commonplace, and listening to Su Tongxiao's words, he is more relieved of Qi Liang's previous enthusiastic behavior.
Thinking of Su Tongxiao's gift not long ago, Han Li felt a little speechless in his heart.
Unexpectedly, whether it is the human world, the spirit world, or the fairy world, the prevailing rules are still the same, and even many of the behaviors of these true immortals are becoming more and more like the secular world.
"By the way, Brother Li, do you still remember the failure of the deputy Dao Master of Xiongshan to refine the sword back then?" Su Tongxiao said suddenly thinking of something.
"About the matter...... Didn't Deputy Dao Master Xiong ask me not to spread the word, so we'd better not talk about it. Han Li frowned and said.
"Haha...... It's just you and me here, and there are no outsiders, so it's okay. Besides, even if we don't pass it on, now there is still an elder in the sect who doesn't know about it? Su Tongxiao smiled indifferently and said disappreciatively.
When Han Li heard this, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
"It is said that at that time, in order to arrange the sword array, Deputy Daoist Xiong borrowed a large amount of Xianyuan Stone from the Immortal Yuan Hall Elder Mo Evil, and he has been in arrears and has not repaid it yet, as a result, a few days ago, the Mo Evil Elder came to the door to block the debt, and the two of them almost made a move for this, and they made a lot of noise in the door, which was very unsightly......
Su Tongxiao seemed to be quite enthusiastic about this kind of anecdote, and he told Han Li a lot.
Although Han Li had no interest in this, he had nothing to do all the way, so he intentionally or unintentionally led the topic to the topic he cared about, after all, he had only been in the sect for a short time, and he didn't want to be inadvertently involved in some disputes.
For a while, the two seemed to be friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, chatting non-stop.
As the giant flying boat in front of him farther and farther north, the temperature became colder and colder, and he encountered a few rains and snows along the way, which made Han Li, who had been busy with retreat and cultivation in the past, enjoy the snowy scenery of the mountains and forests for the first time in a long time.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed.
The flying boat carrying Bai Suyuan and other pride of the inner gate finally stopped in front of a huge mountain range in the north of the Zhongming Mountain Range.
This is where this trial takes place, the Xuanbing Mountains.
It is the third largest branch of the northern part of the Zhongming Mountains, which runs from south to north, and is dominated by a plant called snow needle pine.
Tall and densely branched, needle-like and extremely cold-tolerant, it is one of the few plants that grows in this mountain range, covered in white snow like white spires.
At this moment, in an open area in the southern part of the mountain range, Bai Suyuan and more than twenty disciples had already stepped off the flying boat.
After Fang Yu put the flying boat away, he immediately spoke:
"Alright, I'll send you here, and my mission is over. You have a map of this place, and there are about three routes to get there, so it's up to you to figure it out, as long as you reach your goal. I'll be here for you to come back in a month. ”
After speaking, he landed on the top of a low peak in a flash, closed his eyes and crossed his knees, and ignored these inner disciples.
After a short time, more than 20 people gathered in groups of three or five.
Qi Huanyu and Tang Chuan were surrounded by several people, and they seemed to have discussed and wanted to act together.
The female cultivators who were originally with Bai Suyuan in Chaoyang Hall had joined the team of the two at this moment, and it was obvious that they had already made their own decisions on the previous journey.
On the other side, several people who were from the same casual cultivation background as Sun Ke had also automatically grouped together.
Qi Huanyu glanced at Bai Suyuan, who was reading the map alone not far away, and immediately left everyone around her and came to her side.
"Senior Sister Bai, a few senior brothers and I have already chosen the route of Snow Camel Ridge, although it is relatively dangerous, but it is the closest to the snow bear infested area in the middle of the mountain range, and there should be a lot of additional benefits along the way. It's better for the junior sister to be with us, so that we can take care of it. Qi Huanyu's handsome face said with a look of expectation.
