After thinking for a long time, Xiao Chen decided to set up camp in the same place. Since this was the only way to the inner martial arts world, there must be people going in and out of the inner martial arts world passing by. He could just ask them when the time came.
After the plan was made, Xiao Chen took Jia Musen to collect some wood and temporarily built two simple wooden houses by the roadside. Cheng Mengying took the others to collect firewood and some game as ingredients for dinner. They settled down in front of the fork in the road.
Although the valley was very foggy, there were no wild beasts or strange insects. The temperature was very suitable. They lived a happy and harmonious life. The only regret was that Jia Musen was there. Xiao Chen was embarrassed to let him stay in a house alone, so he had to stay with him. The girls stayed in another house, which was not convenient for double cultivation.
Just like that, they waited for about two days. Finally, a figure pushed through the layers of fog and came over. At this moment, Xiao Chen and the others were chatting aimlessly outside the wooden house when they saw three men dressed like martial artists walking over.
The young man in the lead was a little surprised to see Xiao Chen and the others. He did not expect that someone would arrive earlier than them!
The young man glanced at Xiao Chen and the others, took a few steps forward, and asked calmly, "Little brother, have you also received the joint invitation from the inner martial arts world families to participate in the inner martial arts world trial?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. The inner martial arts world trial? What was that?
Turning his head to glance at Jia Musen and Ling'er, Xiao Chen wanted to ask them, but they were also confused.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen knew that he could not count on them, so he answered calmly, "Well … we are from the Green-rock Sect, but I only know that there is such a thing. I don't know the content of the trial. Do you know what we are going to do?"
While probing ambiguously, Xiao Chen thought quickly. The first thing he thought of was that it must be related to the Venerable Secret Realm. But … wasn't this place a secret? Was it open to the outside martial arts world?
"So it's a friend from Greenrock Faction! In fact, it's a trial jointly organized by a few big families in the inner martial arts world. Through the Warrior's Guild, they've sent out an invitation to the outside world to recruit cultivators from the outer martial arts world and the secular world. They're asking everyone to go to the trial's mine to collect some spirit jades. Then, based on the number of spirit jades collected, after the trial is completed, they can use it to exchange for generous rewards. "The young man explained the contents of the trial.
However, he was a little puzzled. Since these people were from the Greenrock Faction, how could they not know the contents of the trial? However, when he thought about it, the Greenrock Sect was just a small sect. It was normal for them to not be well-informed.
"I see!" Xiao Chen was a little surprised, but on the surface, he still smiled and teased, "Hehe, I wonder which family has the courage to join hands to organize such a grand trial!"
"What other families could there be? Isn't it just the Jia Clan, the Tang Clan, and the Yue Clan? I heard that this trial was initiated by the Jia Clan. Big families are really bold. It's only been a few days, and there are already hundreds of people signing up! "The young man sighed sincerely.
The eyes of Cheng Mengying, Ling Qianxue, and the others quietly drifted towards Jia Musen. They saw that his face was as red as if it had been burned by fire. He cursed softly, "Too despicable. They don't even let the cultivators of the secular world go!"
How could Jia Musen still not understand when he had already said this much? This was because the Tianyu Mine did not have enough manpower to mine, and they were frantically looking for workers to do hard labor! They even called it a trial mission, but in fact, it was cheap labor!
Xiao Chen could tell that Jia Musen was a little embarrassed. He reached out and patted Jia Musen's shoulder to comfort him. He said to the young man, "That's right. Our Sect Leader said the same thing. The few of you are going to the Heavenly Jade Mine, right?"
"Yes! This is the place! So you guys know. You made me waste so much effort to explain. Really! "The young man was a little unhappy. What kind of person was this, wasting his saliva!
"Hehe, in fact, I came in a hurry. I only remembered that I was going to the Tianyu Mine. I didn't have time to listen to the specific details, so I left in a hurry. When I remembered, I was too embarrassed to go back and ask the Sect Leader. Thank you, brother!" Xiao Chen laughed a few times and pretended to be embarrassed.
The young man did not take it to heart. He casually made a sound of agreement. He thought that this person was too muddle-headed. He dared to participate in the trial without asking clearly about the situation. He was not afraid of death!
"Since we are going the same way, let's go together?" Xiao Chen asked. Now that there was someone who knew the situation, as long as he followed him, he could enter the inner martial arts world.
"Well, okay!" The young man nodded absent-mindedly. Seeing Xiao Chen's slow-witted look, he guessed that he was a rather careless and impatient person, so he didn't take it too seriously. He found a relatively clean rock by the side of the road and sat down.
Xiao Chen took a few steps forward with the others in high spirits. When he turned his head, he found that the three people did not follow him at all. They were sitting on the side and resting!
Xiao Chen was a little puzzled. He turned his head and asked, "Why don't you go? It's still early. We should hurry on our way! "
"What way? Just gather here! Then wait for the people of the inner martial arts world to come out and support us! " The young man looked at Xiao Chen in surprise. He felt that this guy was a little stupid. They had already arrived at the gathering place. Where was he going?
This person's brain was too bad. When they arrived at the inner martial arts world, they should go their own way! So that they would not be dragged down again!
"Uh … look at my memory!" Xiao Chen slapped his forehead and hurriedly walked back with a thick face. He looked around awkwardly, and his forehead was a little sweaty.
Cheng Mengying rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen. This guy usually liked to play tricks and boasted that his intelligence was unparalleled. She did not expect that there would be a day when he would fail miserably in an easy task! Fortunately, the other party did not see through it. Otherwise, if he was really suspected, he would be exposed with just a few words!
Ling'er, Ling Qianxue, Tian Souruan, and Jia Musen looked at each other. Everyone's facial expressions were a little unnatural. They could not help but want to laugh, but they did not dare to really laugh. Their faces were almost twisted from holding back their laughter.
The young man did not notice. He had already turned his face away, no longer paying attention to Xiao Chen. Anyway, he had made up his mind not to team up with this guy, so he did not want to see him act stupid anymore.
Time passed quickly, and more and more people came from all over the place to gather. The wooden houses that imitated Xiao Chen's construction almost filled the entire valley.
Among the people who arrived, Xiao Chen did not expect to see many familiar figures who had participated in the Spring Festival Auction. Among them were the horse-faced cultivator, the black-cloaked man, the arrogant young master, the bearded man, and others. There were also people from the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicine.
However, Xiao Chen did not mind. After all, he did not disguise himself. At that time, he appeared at the auction as Yang Jiannan, so these people did not recognize his current appearance. Instead, those who were familiar with each other greeted each other, and it was considered that they had met.
