When Li Changshou landed in front of the Bai Fan Hall with Ling'e, there were already hundreds of figures gathered there.
From afar, young men and women dressed in Daoist robes and long skirts were chatting and laughing. It was rare to see any crooked appearance.
The number of female Qi Refinement cultivators there was not less than that of men. Most of them had beautiful faces and slim figures. They could be said to have their own merits, but there were always a few who stood out. They were like cranes among chickens, like the stars and the moon.
For example, Lan Ling'e, who was beside Li Changshou …
"Isn't that Ling'e from Xiao Qiong Mount? She's really becoming more and more beautiful. I heard that her aptitude is also very good. She has already reached the eighth stage of Qi Refinement after entering the sect ten years ago. She's about to reach the Soul Formation Realm. "
"I heard that there are Grand Elders who want to take her in. We don't have such luck."
"Who's the person beside her?"
"Oh, her senior brother. There aren't many people on Xiao Qiong Mount to begin with. This person doesn't seem to be in the top 300 in the sect. I don't have any impression of him."
"I remember that his Daoist name is Changshou?"
"This Daoist name is really … simple and unique."
"Don't talk about the disciples of other peaks behind their backs! Behave yourselves! If the elders in the sect hear it, they will say that our peak is so unruly! "
The whispers fell into Li Changshou's ears, but he did not seem to notice it. There was a warm smile on his lips. He did not look around and brought Lan Ling'e to the hall to report first. Then, he went to a corner where there was no one to wait.
The bell rang non-stop. More and more young Qi Refinement cultivators flew over from the various peaks.
Today was the Duxian Gate's disciple field trip that was organized once every five years. The purpose was to let the disciples go out to see the world and improve their understanding of cultivation.
Every official disciple in the sect could register to participate in this kind of activity at will. Furthermore, there were as many as twelve destinations for them to choose from, taking into account the disciples at different cultivation stages.
The Duxian Gate's large-scale disciple recruitment cycle was two hundred years, which meant that two hundred years was a generation.
Among the disciples of this generation, it was said that the person with the fastest cultivation progress had already reached the Sixth Stage of the Void Return Stage. He had caught up to many of the elders in the sect who had cultivated for a thousand years but had mediocre aptitudes.
Qi Refinement, Soul Formation, Void Return, and Dao Requital. These were the four major realms before Immortal Ascension. They also determined the strength of one's strength after Immortal Ascension, as well as the advancement of one's cultivation after Immortal Ascension, and the upper limit of the Immortal Path.
For Lan Ling'e to be able to cultivate to the eighth level of Qi Refining within ten years of entering the sect, and with the help of an unknown master who had not even become an immortal yet, it naturally attracted a lot of attention.
The two of them stood three feet apart under the shade of a tree. Many gazes swept over them, and the owners of these gazes mostly felt that the relationship between the two of them wasn't very good.
Ling'e broke off a tender shoot from a willow branch and twirled it around her fingertips. She wanted to say something several times but stopped herself.
The first of the three rules was to maintain a distance of three feet in front of others.
The second rule of the three rules: If there's nothing going on outside, don't chat.
"Senior brother, where are you going?"
"Take a guess."
"You're not telling me again. I've been asking you for a few days already." Ling'e snorted softly and muttered softly, "Anyway, I'll go wherever you go. I have to keep a close eye on you."
Li Changshou smiled calmly. His lips parted slightly, and his voice went directly into Lan Ling'e's ears. He used the voice transmission technique.
"Junior sister, you're now an accomplished Qi Refinement cultivator. You have to learn to face some difficulties independently."
Lan Ling'e said righteously, "I'm under Master's orders to keep an eye on you. Don't let Senior Brother cause trouble outside and embarrass the name of our Xiao Qiong Mount!"
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything else.
After the bell rang six times, figures flew out of the Bai Fan Hall. A total of more than sixty Qi Refinement Warriors stood in the air.
Their faces and temperaments were different. Some of them had white hair and wrinkled faces, while some looked like young girls in their twenties. However, most of them had a mature and steady appearance.
The sixty-three disciples released their auras slightly, and the front of the Bai Fan Hall immediately fell silent. The figures in the air were surrounded by a wisp of immortal light.
They were immortals from the various peaks who were in charge of guarding the disciples who were going out for training.
A crane's cry was heard, and a red-crowned white crane came from the clouds. A thin old man sat cross-legged on it.
If one took a closer look at the old man, they would be able to see that there were auspicious clouds behind him. Two green lotuses floated around him, and his temperament was extraordinary. He did not reveal his aura at all, but he gave off a solemn feeling.
He was the Deputy Sect Master of the Duxian Gate, Exalted Zhong Yu. It was said that he was a Heaven Immortal expert and was one of the top ten cultivators in the Duxian Gate.
Exalted Zhong Yu did not make a long speech. His eyelids were half-closed, and his lips parted. His voice echoed throughout the main peak.
"During this trip, all of you must always remember the sect rules and spread the name of the Duxian Gate. Do not do anything that will bring shame to the sect.
There are a total of twelve places for training this time. Recently, demons have been wreaking havoc on a few tribes at the Coast of the East Sea. I hope that all of you can get rid of the demons and protect your people.
Elder Ge, you may begin. "
With that, Exalted Zhong Yu left on the crane and did not stay any longer. All the disciples bowed and sent him off.
An old man who was standing in front of the hall cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Then, he said in a clear voice, "Those who are going to the Coast of the East Sea to slay demons, come to the far left. Your cultivation level must not be lower than the sixth stage of Qi Refinement! Those who go to this place will be rewarded according to the number of demons slain. "
The disciples below immediately began to move. Nearly half of the disciples went to the left side of the hall, and it suddenly became a little crowded.
This was the custom of every Priming Meet. There were twelve places for training, and one of them was definitely the one with the lowest difficulty and danger. However, the rewards were very generous.
Lan Ling 'e turned her head and stared at her Senior Brother. She realized that his legs did not move at all.
Senior Brother's goal was indeed not to reap the benefits …
"Junior Sister, your cultivation level is still low. You should follow the majority." Li Changshou persuaded her with a voice transmission. Lan Ling 'e pursed her lips slightly and stood still with her Senior Brother.
Elder Ge continued to shout, "Those who are heading to the southeast border of the Center God Province to slay demons, come to the right side and wait. Your cultivation level must not be lower than the eighth level of the Qi Refinement realm."
There were only a few dozen disciples moving this time, but all of them had pretty good cultivation levels. They were all at the Soul Formation realm.
Just like that, under Elder Ge's incessant shouts, the disciples began to move one after another, choosing their destination.
The minimum cultivation level of the training places that Elder Ge called out kept increasing. When Elder Ge called out "Second level of the Soul Formation realm", Lan Ling 'e stared at her Senior Brother with a pair of bright eyes full of resentment …
Her real cultivation level was only at the second level of the Soul Formation realm.
"Senior Brother, where exactly are you going?"
Li Changshou still smiled but did not say anything.
Very soon, there were only twenty-three people left, and there were only two places that hadn't been announced for training.
Apart from the pair of brother and sister in the corner, almost all of these 23 people were 'immortal seeds' of their respective peaks. They were the ones who were the focus of this generation of disciples and were ranked at the top of the disciples' rankings.
Elder Ge glanced at Lan Ling 'e and then shouted, "Those who are heading to the East Sea's Qilin Cloud Island to train, please wait in the hall.
"Those who are going to the East Sea's Qilin Cloud Island to train, please wait in the hall.
Among the remaining 20 people, 17 of them moved at the same time and released their auras. All of them were at the second or third level of the Void Return realm!
Exclamations of admiration came from all around as the 17 disciples quickly flew into the hall.
At that moment, there were only six people who had not moved. All the disciples' eyes quickly gathered on a young girl wearing a fiery red fairy dress and carrying a broadsword on her back.
The young girl stood quietly with her eyes closed. She looked like a fairy who had descended from the heavens. It was as if a few big words were floating around her —
Strangers do not enter.
She was one of the most famous disciples of the Duxian Sect. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had an outstanding temperament and a flawless figure. Her cultivation aptitude was even more shocking. At that moment, she revealed her aura in advance. She was already at the fourth level of the Void Return realm.
She had only entered the sect for more than 60 years. Her aptitude made her highly valued by the Duxian Sect. She had also entered the Heaven-Breaking Peak's Sect Leader's faction a long time ago.
'Youqin Genya is going to the North Continent too? That's not bad. '
Li Changshou, who was in the corner, revealed a faint smile. Traveling with such an eye-catching "eye-catcher" would allow him to avoid being noticed.
Lan Ling 'e, who was at the side, sniffed a few times and immediately smelled something unusual.
Her gaze moved back and forth between her senior brother's smile and the young girl in the fiery red fairy dress …
There was indeed something going on!
Then, she heard some discussions from the crowd.
"Senior Sister Genya is going to the North Continent to gather herbs?"
"Senior Sister Genya is going to the North Continent. It looks like Senior Brother Yuan Qing is going to the North Continent too."
"Isn't that inevitable? Didn't you see that Senior Brother Yuan Qing has not moved? He is obviously waiting for Senior Sister Genya to make a decision. "
"Be careful with your words. Don't offend these two cultivation geniuses of the Heaven-Breaking Peak."
In the air, Elder Ge frowned as he looked at Li Changshou and Lan Ling 'e. He shook his head slightly and continued shouting.
He shook his head slightly and continued to shout, "Disciples who are going to the Chaos Treasure Forest in the southeast of the North Continent, wait in the hall. This place is very dangerous. Disciples are often injured. You must be at least at the ninth level of the Soul Formation Realm!"
The young girl in the fiery red dress opened her eyes. Her almond-shaped eyes were rather clear. She tapped the ground with her toes, and her dress fluttered in the wind like a blooming Fire Spirit Flower. She floated into the hall with many pairs of eyes.
Following closely behind her was a young Qi Refinement Warrior who looked gentle and cultured. The aura he exuded was that of a fifth-stage Void Return Realm cultivator.
His eyes never left the fiery red figure in front of him. Naturally, it was that "Senior Brother Yuan Qing".
Li Changshou also walked forward at the same time. Because Youqin Genya and Yuan Qing had attracted everyone's attention, he was not being noticed at the moment. This made him feel rather comfortable.
However, he had just taken two steps when he suddenly shivered. A pair of resentful eyes followed him like a shadow …
"Senior Brother, why are you suddenly going to the North Continent?"
Li Changshou felt a cold wind behind him. He stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to gather herbs, of course."
"Senior Brother? Do we not have enough herbs at home? You … "
"Xiao Qiong Mount Ling 'e."
A shout suddenly came from the sky. It was Elder Ge, who was frowning as he looked at the two of them. He asked, "Are you still going to participate in this expedition?"
"Yes."
Lan Ling 'e raised her head and answered. She felt the gazes of the people around her, and her pretty face blushed a little.
Just now, it was as if the wind had sealed a thousand miles, but now, it was as if spring had arrived. The change in her expression was rather natural …
Lan Ling 'e hurriedly said, "I've troubled you, Elder. My cultivation level is still low, and I couldn't make up my mind just now. Now, I've decided to follow my Senior Brothers and Sisters to the Coast of the East Ocean."
Elder Ge nodded and revealed a kind smile. He said warmly, "Hurry up and return to the array. Don't delay the departure time."
"Yes."
Lan Ling 'e secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When she turned to look for her Senior Brother, he was already gone.
"Really, why do you have to go to such a dangerous place?"
She pouted and complained softly, "Why didn't you say something to take care of yourself … Be careful, stupid Senior Brother!"
By the time she turned around, Lan Ling 'e had already recovered her normal expression. She walked toward the crowd in the distance. She was greeted by several smiling talents from the various peaks.
…
Inside the hall, more than ten pairs of eyes fell on Li Changshou, who was sitting in the corner. Most of them looked suspicious. They did not know who this person was.
Li Changshou quietly released his aura …
He was at the Ninth Stage of Soul Formation, and he had passed the test. He was above average among the disciples of this generation.
