"You got into the zone so quickly," Lu Sheng praised.
"Thank you for the compliment." Duanmu Wan bowed slightly.
"If, and I'm just saying if, I suddenly leave or need to deal with something urgent, what will you do?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
Duanmu Wan smiled sweetly. "Is this a test?"
"Yes." Lu Sheng smiled.
"I … will immediately bring my valuables and seek help. If I can't find help, I will hide and observe the situation," Duanmu Wan answered after thinking for a while.
"Good. That's what I want too. "Lu Sheng walked through the courtyard and saw Elder Zhang Shilong walking toward him.
"The transfer order is here, Lu Sheng." Zhang Shilong waved the silk cloth in his hand. "Leave in seven days."
"Perfect …" Lu Sheng took the cloth and unfolded it.
The content written on it made him slightly stunned.
"Leave in seven days. Test mission — Use this cloth to locate you on the road and automatically enter the outside world. Find the Violet Snow Garden and get the items you want. Set up a projection array and build a complete frontline. The time limit is one month. "
"This is?" He didn't think he would have to go through a test mission to get to the major sect.
"You can choose not to do it, but that way, you'll be the most ordinary disciple in the Moling Mansion. This test mission is used to grade everyone, "Zhang Shilong explained.
"Is everyone's mission the same?"
"Not necessarily. There are many, many Outer Worlds. Usually, this kind of mission is to find a low-level Outer World temporarily. It's the kind that has a certain degree of difficulty, but it's not life-threatening to the test-taker, "Zhang Shilong continued to explain.
"Alright, I understand. In a sense, this is the first time I've entered another world to complete a mission. 'Lu Sheng showed an interested smile.
"Indeed, you only entered as a projection last time. You'll need to prepare more. You'll need to get some servant summoning tools and aura-searching talismans. "Zhang Shilong frowned.
"I'll take care of it myself. If Elder Zhang is willing, you can lend me some Devil Gold. "Lu Sheng smiled.
"How much?"
"A thousand."
"No problem."
After borrowing a thousand pieces of Devil Gold from Elder Zhang Shilong, Lu Sheng followed the direction he remembered and returned to the Dao Palace that very night.
He quickly found the Array Talisman Shop in the Sect. Most of the items inside were Array Talismans refined by the Elders and thrown here to be traded.
He carefully bought all the things he needed and bought a backpack to carry things on his back. It looked very inconspicuous. However, its capacity was astonishing.
He had spent almost all of the thousand pieces of Devil Gold, and most of it was used on a simple magic tool.
Although it was the most commonly used magic tool for summoning slaves, it still cost a ridiculous 800 Magic Gold. And this was only after the shop owner gave Lu Sheng a discount because of his status as a true disciple. Furthermore, it was a summoning artifact of the lowest grade.
When everything was ready, Lu Sheng returned to the Autumn Moon County Capital and visited Sect Master Chen Jing. Then, he packed his things, gave Duanmu Wan some instructions, and got a map. After marking out the route, Lu Sheng was ready to set off.
In order to reach Moling City as soon as possible, he didn't hire any carriages or ox-carts. He planned to travel alone.
The Autumn Moon County was more than 3,000 miles away from the Prefecture City. Even if Lu Sheng ran at full speed, it would take him at least four hours, and that was if he traveled in a straight line. If he traveled slowly, it would take him at least a month or two.
And that didn't include the dangers he might encounter along the way. Although the Great Yin was safer than the Great Song, it wasn't completely safe. It was such a long distance, and Lu Sheng was in the wilderness, so it was normal for him to have some symptoms.
However, what surprised Lu Sheng was that Wang Yunlong also came to him. He also wanted to go to the Prefecture City, and was also recommended by a branch sect. Moreover, he was going to join the group of the three major sects. All three sects had recommended disciples to the Prefecture City, so for safety's sake, everyone was going in a group, led by an elder from each sect.
Only Lu Sheng refused to go with them in order to save time. Because he was that person's disciple, the others couldn't say anything. They all guessed that his teacher had other arrangements.
Lu Sheng had always felt that Wang Yunlong, a genius who came from the Spring Sun Sect with him, was a bit strange. This time, he was recommended by the sect as well. In such a short time, he had earned such a high evaluation. It was clear that he was extraordinary.
However, Wang Yunlong had always been mediocre, ordinary, and unremarkable.
This made people have some ideas.
Three days later, Lu Sheng brought his dry rations and water pouch. He really couldn't refuse, so he was escorted by Zhang Shilong to the Prefecture City Moling City.
The reason he didn't reject Zhang Shilong in the end was because he didn't have an elder to protect him on such a long journey. With his current strength, he wouldn't be able to protect himself. Even if he could reach the Prefecture City quickly, he could only hide and wait for the right time if he didn't want to expose his strength.
Therefore, instead of doing that, it was better to speed up within a reasonable range. If only he and the elder traveled together, they would be many times faster than the rest of the group. It was also within a reasonable range, killing two birds with one stone.
They could also avoid wasting time if they got lost.
After leaving the Autumn Moon County, Lu Sheng and Zhang Shilong each rode a talisman horse. They charged into the nearby grasslands early in the morning, and headed straight for the Black Bell Mountain Range. The Black Bell Mountain Range was the first place they had to pass to get to the Prefecture City. There was also a place for the Thousand Sun Sect's disciples to rest in, especially when they passed by.
…
"Ta, ta, ta …"
The crisp sound of horse hooves echoed on the road.
Lu Sheng and Zhang Shilong wore grayish-green cloaks as they rode forward on horseback. A faint metallic sheen flashed across the hooves of the horses from time to time.
These were special hooves modified by formation talismans. They could greatly reduce the weight of the horses, increase the hardness of the hooves, and prolong the running time.
In the deep and lofty mountain range, the white and green official road zigzagged forward, extending into the endless depths of the mountain forest.
Lu Sheng and Zhang Shilong galloped for a while. When they saw that it was getting late, they slowed down and found an empty spot in the forest to the side to rest.
"It should be here. I built a small hut here when I was traveling alone. " Elder Zhang Shilong looked around. As an elder, he would occasionally go to the Prefecture City. Of course, the frequency of an elder's return trip was much higher than that of a disciple's. Their cultivation and self-protection abilities were also much higher. Therefore, the resting spots were different.
"Is it that one?" Lu Sheng pointed forward.
To the right of the two of them, they could see a few gray stone huts through the forest. They sat quietly among the roots and leaves.
"That's it!" Zhang Shilong raised his voice. "Let's go and rest. I left some daily necessities inside." After a whole day of traveling, he was a little tired. Not physically, but mentally. Looking at the unchanging grassland and mountains for too long would make him tired.
"Alright." Lu Sheng nodded.
The two of them rode closer.
The roof of the hut was a faint dark yellow, covered with moss. It seemed to have been weathered for years.
Beside the hut stood a few ancient trees as thick as a person's arms. Their roots were intertwined and spread out like strange pythons.
After Zhang Shilong dismounted, he tied the horse to the thick tree trunk and strode toward the stone hut.
Lu Sheng also dismounted, tied the reins, and followed.
With a creak, Zhang Shilong pushed open the wooden door and glanced at the furnishings inside. "Fortunately, there are no snakes or poisonous insects. I'll stay here for the night. Is that okay?" He looked back at Lu Sheng.
"No problem." Lu Sheng nodded.
"The deadline for the Prefecture Upper Sect is one month. When do you plan to finish the mission?" Zhang Shilong pulled out a stone stool and sat down. This old man was very open. He had a long white beard and was slightly bald, but his temperament was similar to a young man's.
"I can do it when I have time. How long does it usually take to finish a mission?" Lu Sheng asked. He looked around and sat down in front of the stone bed.
"Usually, the earlier you enter the outside world, the better your foundation. But for you, it's up to you. You can definitely finish it, but it depends on the completion rate. "Zhang Shilong was very confident in Lu Sheng.
"Alright, I'll give it a try tonight. If I don't wake up tomorrow morning, don't worry about me, Elder Zhang. Just stand guard for me," Lu Sheng instructed after some thought.
"That's not a problem. I'm going to look around and see if I can find some gremlins to make soup with. These days, almost all the older gremlins have been caught. What's left are the little ones that have become gremlins in one or two hundred years. I haven't been here for a long time. Maybe I can find some good stuff. "Zhang Shilong smiled.
He was a man of his word. In the evening, after eating, Zhang Shilong ran out and disappeared. After eating, Lu Sheng closed the door of the stone house and stuck a simple talisman on it. He sat cross-legged on the stone bed and took out the silk cloth.
At this time, the original content was no longer on the silk cloth. Instead, new words had appeared.
"Find the Violet Snow Garden and take the Scarlet Dragon Spear."
"Scarlet Dragon Spear?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He laid the cloth flat in front of him, placed his right hand in the middle, and began to slowly inject True Qi.
His True Qi had already reached Seven-Vein Realm. Once he broke through to Earth Prime, he would become an elder. The other disciples of the Autumn Moon County City were all around Three-Vein Realm or Four-Vein Realm. If they wanted to break through to Seven-Vein Realm, they would have to cross at least a few levels and spend many years. Most of them didn't even have the potential to reach Seven-Vein Realm. Their bloodlines were stagnant, and their purity wasn't high enough.
Lu Sheng's Scarlet Jade rating meant that he was at least at the Earth Prime level, which was why he was so highly regarded. But no one expected him to reach Seven-Vein Realm so quickly.
His True Qi entered the cloth strand by strand. Gradually, when he had infused about thirty percent of his True Qi, the cloth suddenly lit up with a layer of white light.
In the blink of an eye, the white light wrapped around Lu Sheng and suddenly shrank into a ball of light the size of a fist.
Poof.
The ball of light exploded, turning into countless specks of light that slowly faded away.
