The Taihao School had been established for more than four thousand years. The school was divided into four mansions and three mountains. Even the Ningbi Mansion, which was the last to open a mansion outside the school, had been passed down for a thousand years. Although these seven branches were one school, they had already formed their own schools, each with their own inheritance.
On the other hand, the main mountain of the Tai Hao Sect, Du Guang Mountain, was protected by the "Hanxiu True Movement Great Void Defense Formation" left by the founder of the sect. Moreover, there were three Enlightened Masters in the sect. Therefore, no matter in terms of status or strength, it was still far above the other manors. If the Sect Leader Enlightened Master wanted to summon the Mansion Masters for a meeting, they would have to come with a talisman.
These seven branches almost occupied all the blessed lands within the sphere of influence of the Taihao School, but other than that, there was one spiritual land that had not been touched.
This was Mount Qingcun.
This area was tens of thousands of miles long. It was originally an endless stretch of Cang Ling Mountain, famous for the "Ganoderma of Unity" that grew in the mountain.
Although this was not the only place in the Donghua Continent that had Ganoderma of Unity, the lingzhi in this mountain was of the highest quality. Even if a cultivator who had not reached the Core Formation realm obtained it, they could exchange it for excellent pills and talismans. Therefore, almost all the medicinal ganoderma in this mountain was harvested.
When the founder of the Taihao School passed by this place, he saw that the Ganoderma of Unity was in danger of losing its roots. Therefore, he enclosed the entire mountain in the "Hanxiu True Void Defense Formation."
After that, he set a rule that no disciple of the Taihao School could have the Ganoderma of Unity alone. Anyone who was fated could have it.
Because of the protection of this famous formation, if others did not have the token of the Taihao School, it was impossible to force their way into the mountain. Therefore, they had to act according to the rules of the Taihao School. After thousands of years, they were used to it.
According to the order of the founder of the Taihao School, every six years, he was allowed to send disciples to Mount Qingcun to collect medicinal ganoderma.
However, all the high-quality ganoderma had hands and feet. It would run all over the mountain, so it was not easy to catch it. But no matter who it was, the Taihao School only gave them three years. Whether or not they could obtain this item would depend on their own luck.
However, Zhang Yan's goal was not these ordinary Unbroken Qi Zoysia. He had once heard from Zhou Chongju that among these Unbroken Qi Zoysia, only the 'Zoysia Ancestor' had the best effect. It was not something that ordinary Unbroken Qi Zoysia could compare to. If he could obtain this Zoysia Ancestor, then this trip would not have been in vain.
"There are still seven days left. Just Now is the time to open the formation and enter the mountain. I didn't expect so many fellow Daoists to come here already."
Zhang Yan stood on a protruding rock and looked at the endless mountain range in front of him. There, colorful canopies and clouds were piled up like stacks, climbing up the mountain range. In mid-air, Spiritual Qi shot into the sky, and light shot up for tens of thousands of feet. Cultivators from all over the Donghua Continent had gathered here. At a rough glance, there were probably thousands of people.
The Taihao School was indeed one of the top ten mystical sects in the Donghua Continent. Just this Treasure Auction alone was even more impressive than when he fought for the Divine Abode in the Outer Endless Seas.
He could not help but think that among these many people, there might be disciples from the Qincang School. He wondered if he would run into any acquaintances.
Gongsun Mian shifted his gaze and looked around. He also lamented, "In the past, there were not so many fellow Daoists who came here. But this time, I heard that an elder in my school had predicted the birth of a few high-quality medicinal ganodermas. I'm afraid that many people have received this news, so they are all crowded together."
Upon entering Mount Qingcun, even if you were a disciple of the school, no matter if you returned empty-handed or not, everyone would only recognize you once in their lifetime. Unless you had the ability to break through the protective formation of the Taihao School, you would never be able to enter or leave.
And the Qi Ganoderma in Mount Qingcun was already a high-quality medicinal ganoderma. With this news, it caused a stir in all directions. Cultivators who did not want to miss out on this opportunity all rushed over.
Today, Ke Xiujun had changed into a green muslin dress and stood beside Zhang Yan and Gongsun Mian. She snorted softly and said, "Even if there are high-quality medicinal ganodermas, it's not up to us to take them. I'm already satisfied with a low-grade ganoderma in my hands."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Before entering the treasure mountain, why are you so dejected, Junior Apprentice-Sister Ke? You have to give it your all. "
Ke Xiujun faced a direction and pouted. "I'm not trying to be depressing, but Senior Apprentice-Brother Li, look over there."
Zhang Yan could not help but look in the direction she was pointing. He saw a young cultivator with his arms crossed standing on a Jinyun deer. His eyes were deep, and he was wearing a blue brocade robe embroidered with golden threads. He had high shoes with wide sleeves, a golden crown and a wide belt, and a cloud-inlaid silk sash around his waist. The cultivators who passed by him all looked wary.
He was surrounded by dozens of people, some of whom were dressed similarly to him. They must be disciples of the same clan.
When Zhang Yan looked over, his eyes also happened to look over. When their eyes met, the man slightly narrowed his eyes and calmly looked away.
Ke Xiujun said, "Brother Li, do you see him? That's Shi Yifan, a disciple of the Shi clan. Although he hasn't entered the Taihao School yet, in a few years, when he becomes a Core Formation cultivator, he only needs to enter the school to become a true disciple."
Ke Xiujun raised her delicate and white finger and pointed in another direction. "Brother Li, look over there. That's a disciple of the Wu clan."
Zhang Yan turned his gaze again. This place was much grander than Shi Yifan's. Not only were there dozens of flying boats and carriages hovering in the air, but there were also hundreds of strong men and servants following them. He did not know if the person in charge had not arrived yet, or if it was done deliberately. For a moment, he could not tell who was in charge of this group of cultivators.
Ke Xiujun continued to point out a few people. These people were either disciples from large clans or Daoist sects. Finally, she sighed. "Brother Li, do you see? The top-grade medicinal mushrooms have probably been divided among these people. Even if they haven't reached an agreement, with their cultivation and the cultivators around them, how can we compete with them? "
Apart from these disciples from Daoist sects, there were also many disciples from low-level clans. Together with their servants and strong men, these people made up a quarter of the people in this Treasure Auction.
Compared to them, Ke Xiujun and Zhang Yan did indeed seem extremely weak on the surface, and they were unable to contend against them.
Gongsun Mian chuckled. "Brother Ke, don't be discouraged. With Brother Li here, we may still have a chance."
Gongsun Mian was a disciple of Taihao School and came from a clan. If the day came when he condensed his Core, his sect would have other medicinal mushrooms planted elsewhere. There was no need for him to compete with them in Mount Qingcun. That was why he looked so relaxed.
Ke Xiujun was also aware of this. She glared at him and snorted. Just as she was about to speak, her expression suddenly changed. She said in a low voice, "Why is she here too?"
Zhang Yan looked back and saw a cloud couch descending from the sky. Behind the fluttering curtain was a woman in a red robe with wide sleeves.
She allowed her snow-white arm to be exposed as she reclined on the couch. She looked indescribably lazy and carefree. There was a dazzling red dot on her lips. She had a tall nose and a pair of phoenix-like eyes. There was a fingernail-sized, blood-red jade hanging on her smooth forehead.
Everyone seemed to be wary of her. When they saw this woman, the cultivators who were closer to her all flew off into the distance.
Gongsun Mian looked at the woman seriously. Suddenly, he thought of someone and blurted out, "Could she be that Yan Yuyou?"
A hint of worry appeared on Ke Xiujun's face. She nodded and said, "That's her. This is bad. It's rumored that this woman is temperamental and often kills people for no reason. If Brother Li and I enter Mount Qingcun, we have to be careful and avoid her."
The Treasure Ganoderma Auction was held once every three years and closed once every three years. Only cultivators below the Core Formation Stage could enter.
Because they had to stay for three years before they could come out, there were some cultivators who were unwilling to waste their time and would rather go elsewhere to search for Ganoderma of Unity than come here.
However, during these three years, due to the protection of the grand formation, those who entered could not enter and leave freely. As a result, some disciples from large clans came here just for fun.
Because their clans had placed high hopes on these disciples, they had cultivated for hundreds of years. Those with slightly weaker temperaments could not dispel the accumulated depression in their hearts. Thus, there was no lack of people who acted recklessly when fighting for the Ganoderma.
In the past, there were a few disciples from large clans who used this opportunity to adjust their temperaments and improve their cultivation.
However, not only could they not defeat cultivators with powerful backgrounds, they did not dare to act rashly. Thus, they could only find rogue cultivators and cultivators from small sects. Therefore, these people wanted to attach themselves to large clans during the Treasure Ganoderma Auction. It was no wonder they acted like this. They really did not want to be killed for no reason.
This Yan Yuyou was a direct descendant of the Xunlong Yan clan, so there was no need for her to personally search for the Ganoderma. There were rumors that she had deviated from her cultivation and coupled with her strange temperament, it was obvious why she had come here.
Seeing this woman, although Ke Xiujun had seen Zhang Yan's strength that day, she could not help feeling worried.
At this moment, on a mountain several kilometers away from the two of them, Chu Shaohong's two fellow disciples, Pan Qing and Pan Ming, were also looking around.
The two of them came from the same mother and looked extremely similar. They were both tall and thin with pale faces. Even their clothes were the same.
Pan Qing was the oldest of the two. He looked around and gently smiled, "The person who killed junior brother Chu is probably here, right?"
Pan Yang's expression was somewhat cold as he lightly said, "I'm afraid so."
Pan Qing smiled and said, "Brother, you're smarter than me. How do you think we should deal with this matter?"
Pan Yang was silent for a while before he said, "That He and Cheng's words were inevitably exaggerated, so we can't believe them all. However, since junior brother Chu was defeated in a fair fight, I believe that Li Yuanba is also a powerful person. Even if we can win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. There are still seven days until we enter the mountain, so it would be unwise to fight him now. "
Pan Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Then what does brother think we should do?"
Pan Yang's eyes flashed as he said, "You and I don't need to fight Li Yuanba at all. We just need to enter Mount Qingcun. How can a rogue cultivator with no foundation live for three years?"
Pan Qing smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's exactly what I was thinking."
Pan Yang said in a deep voice, "Then, what should we do with those two?"
Pan Yang smiled playfully and waved his hand, "There's no harm in bringing them along. Who knows, they might be of some use."
