Chu Li stared at the metal plate, but it eventually left the coverage of the Omniscient Mirror and was thrown somewhere unknown. After a while, a clear cry came from the sky and two white cranes landed.
Their huge wings stirred up a strong wind. Chu Li stood in the wind, his white robe flapping loudly as he looked at the handsome young man on the cranes.
The two cranes were huge, four times the size of normal cranes. They stood taller than him and were even larger than the Spirit Cranes.
Unfortunately, they only looked like that. Through the Omniscient Mirror, their strength and speed were far inferior to the Spirit Cranes, but they were a few times stronger than normal cranes. They were in between normal cranes and Spirit Cranes.
A handsome young man in a yellow robe sat on one of the cranes, smiling at Chu Li.
Chu Li fist saluted. "I'm Chu Li."
"I'm Zhu Yuan from the Zheng Dynasty." The young man in the yellow robe floated down and fist saluted in front of Chu Li. "Are you chosen by the Li Dynasty's Imperial Family?"
Chu Li nodded.
He already knew that every year, the imperial family would send a quota to Immortal Attraction Mountain to become an outer mountain disciple. Although Immortal Attraction Mountain did not care about secular affairs, if one could catch the eye of Immortal Attraction Mountain, they would receive great benefits. Hence, this quota was very popular.
"The name Chu Li sounds familiar. There's a Chu Li in the Ji Dynasty, right?" Zhu Yuan smiled.
Chu Li smiled. "That's me."
"Oh?" Zhu Yuan smiled in surprise. "The Ji Dynasty and the Li Dynasty are sworn enemies. How did they …?"
Chu Li smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
Zhu Yuan smiled. "Alright, I won't ask anymore. Follow me."
He floated onto one of the cranes and pointed at the other one.
Chu Li glided and landed on the back of the white crane. The white crane shook a little before it stood up steadily. It was even more stable than riding a horse.
"There are already Ji Dynasty's Imperial Family disciples on the mountain. You might know each other."
Chu Li asked, "Which one?"
"Leng Tao." Zhu Yuan smiled. "You know him?"
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
"That's good. Let's go." Zhu Yuan smiled and patted the crane's neck. Suddenly, it spread its huge wings and flapped twice, stirring up a gust of wind. With one leg, it flew into the sky.
The white crane behind Chu Li flew up as well. Although it was huge, its movements were light and graceful. It looked like a fairy.
The two cranes swayed as they ascended, passing through the cold clouds, and finally landed in front of a palace on the mountainside.
Chu Li looked into the distance and saw a palace at the peak of the mountain. It was not as big as this palace, but it had a glorious golden roof. It was as if all the sunlight had been absorbed into the palace. It was so dazzling that no one dared to look at it directly.
As soon as Chu Li stepped into Goddess Attraction Mountain, he immediately felt that the spiritual energy was dense. Although it was not as dense as the Hundred-Thousand Hills, it was far from comparable to the outside world.
He stared at it and analyzed it carefully. The Life and Death Scripture was very sensitive to Spiritual Qi, so he quickly analyzed that the Spiritual Qi here was ten times that of the outside world. If he cultivated here, although he could not achieve ten times the effect, he could achieve four or five times the effect.
Ten years was equivalent to fifty years for others. Such a beautiful place was really attractive.
In front of the huge palace was a meadow. Several white cranes were strolling leisurely, occasionally flying up and disappearing into the sky.
There was no one in front of the main hall. After the two of them descended from the white crane, Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "This is where we will be staying."
Chu Li looked at it. "Just the two of us?"
"There are three more." Zhu Yuan smiled. "Leng Tao, Li Xuanxin, and Tang Zhao!"
Chu Li nodded and looked around.
Zhu Yuan said, "They are busy feeding the Spirit Beasts."
"Spirit Beasts?" Chu Li was surprised. "There are Spirit Beasts here?"
He looked around and activated the Omniscient Mirror. There were no Spirit Beasts in the palace.
Zhu Yuan shook his head. "The Spirit Beasts are on the mountain, not here. The five of us are outer mountain disciples. Our mission is to feed the Spirit Beasts!"
"What kind of Spirit Beasts are they?" Chu Li asked.
Zhu Yuan said, "Spirit Snakes!"
Chu Li frowned.
Zhu Yuan sighed. "I heard that cultivating the Dragon Taming Technique requires Spirit Snakes, or else it will be impossible to cultivate. However, this generation of Goddess Attraction Mountain disciples has a bad temper. We have to hold it in."
Chu Li said, "So it's to feed Spirit Snakes! … I heard that we can cultivate some techniques too. Is that true? "
"We can cultivate." Zhu Yuan nodded. "Cultivate the Spirit Snake Technique first. If we can cultivate it successfully, we can cultivate the Dragon Taming Technique."
Chu Li sighed in relief.
Zhu Yuan shook his head. "But the Spirit Snake Technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. I've been cultivating for half a month now, but I still haven't gotten the hang of it!"
The two of them talked as they walked into the palace. They passed through a basilica and arrived at a room in the backyard.
"This is your residence. I'll live in the other room. This place is big, so you can pick a place to live. You can live wherever you want." Zhu Yuan smiled. "Although it's a little lonely, it's still very relaxing."
"Can we leave the mountain whenever we want?" Chu Li asked.
Zhu Yuan nodded. "Spirit Snakes don't eat every day. Sometimes, they don't need to be fed, so you can go out for seven days. Goddess Attraction Mountain won't care about your whereabouts either."
Chu Li smiled. "That's freedom."
"If you want to cultivate more advanced martial arts, you need to cultivate the Spirit Snake Technique first. If you can't cultivate the Spirit Snake Technique well, you can't cultivate other martial arts. Goddess Attraction Mountain won't care if you want to cultivate it or not. "
Chu Li suddenly understood.
"And the best way to cultivate the Spirit Snake Technique is to observe and figure out the spirit snake," Zhu Yuan said. "That's why the three of them haven't returned yet. I'm here to welcome you."
Chu Li smiled and closed fist saluted. "Thank you, Brother Zhu."
Zhu Yuan waved his hand. "We'll be fellow disciples in the future. We'll take care of each other when we leave the mountain. No need to be so polite."
Chu Li nodded.
As they spoke, footsteps came from outside. The three of them strode in and saw Chu Li.
Leng Tao was still chubby, but his face was solemn as if he was a different person. When he saw Chu Li, his eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief, "Chu Li?"
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Imperial Crown Prince, you're here too?"
Leng Tao lost his voice. "How can you be here?"
Zhu Yuan smiled. "Brother Leng, Brother Chu is here on behalf of the Li Dynasty's imperial family."
"Li Dynasty? Impossible! "Leng Tao shouted.
Chu Li said, "Imperial Crown Prince, you don't have to be surprised. I really did snatch this spot from the Li Dynasty's imperial family!"
"Impossible!" Leng Tao shook his head.
Chu Li ignored him and turned to look at the other two young men.
One of them was burly and looked simple and honest while the other was handsome and had a strong aura.
"Come, let me introduce you." Zhu Yuan smiled. "This is Tang Zhao from the Fu Dynasty, and this is Li Xuanxin from the Qiu Dynasty."
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. "Nice to meet you, I'm Chu Li."
The two men's expressions changed.
Chu Li's name was not to be underestimated. Both of them did not stay in the mountain all the time and often left the mountain, so they were very familiar with this name.
Zhu Yuan smiled. "This is Chu Li from the Ji Dynasty."
"Nice to meet you." The two men closed fist saluted.
Leng Tao suddenly shouted, "Chu Li, so you're colluding with the Li Dynasty!"
Chu Li said angrily, "Yes, I'm colluding with the Li Dynasty!"
Leng Tao was overjoyed. "You finally admitted it!"
