Chu Li returned to the foot of Goddess Attraction Mountain at noon.
He looked up at Goddess Attraction Mountain that towered into the clouds and took out the metal tag from his pocket. The metal tag flew towards Goddess Attraction Mountain and lit up the sky with a golden light. A moment later, two white cranes descended.
Zhu Yuan rode the white crane and landed in front of him. He smiled and closed fist saluted. "Brother Chu."
Chu Li closed fist saluted and smiled. He floated onto the back of the other white crane and sat steadily.
The white crane let out a clear cry and flew into the sky. It flew up into the clouds and landed in front of the palace outside the mountain where they were.
Goddess Attraction Mountain was quiet. It was as if no one knew he had returned.
Zhu Yuan left the white crane in a yellow robe and smiled. "Brother Chu, you must have had a long journey. Go back and rest."
"Brother Zhu, come in and have some tea," Chu Li said.
Zhu Yuan hesitated for a moment before following him into the courtyard.
Chu Li deftly picked up the pot of tea while talking to Zhu Yuan.
"Did anything happen to the Spirit Snake?"
"No." Zhu Yuan shook his head. "I thought it would come to me for revenge. I didn't expect it to be so obedient. It didn't cause any trouble when I fed it. Brother Chu, did you gain anything after going out?"
Chu Li smiled. "I've mastered the Spirit Snake Technique."
"What?" Zhu Yuan raised his voice.
Chu Li smiled. "I was lucky."
Zhu Yuan's eyes widened. "How is that possible!"
Advancing to the next level of the Spirit Serpent Technique was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. None of them had succeeded in cultivating it, so how did it become so easy for Chu Li? He had mastered it in the blink of an eye. It was hard to imagine how he had managed to cultivate it.
Chu Li said, "I was lucky. Has the hill master finished his isolated cultivation?"
"Once you master the Spirit Snake Technique, you can become an inner mountain disciple!" Zhu Yuan looked at him enviously. "Brother Chu, you'll become an inner mountain disciple in the future. We'll have to call you Senior Brother."
Chu Li pretended to be hesitant. "I'm from the Ji Dynasty. I'm afraid I might not be able to enter Goddess Attraction Mountain!"
"It doesn't matter which country you're from as long as you become a disciple of Goddess Attraction Mountain!" Zhu Yuan said. "Goddess Attraction Mountain is detached from the world. It doesn't involve conflicts between factions or countries. Don't worry."
"Does that mean I can become an inner mountain disciple?" Chu Li smiled.
"It will definitely work!" Zhu Yuan nodded vigorously. "Don't worry!"
Chu Li smiled. "Brother Tang is a disciple of the Fu Dynasty's Imperial Family. I wonder what his identity is?"
"Tang Zhao, Brother Tang?" Zhu Yuan smiled and said, "It's the Second Prince's Second Heir."
"The second son of the second prince …" Chu Li muttered.
Zhu Yuan said, "Brother Tang is a good person. He's not as overbearing as the Fu Dynasty."
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
Zhu Yuan said, "By the way, Brother Chu, once you've perfected the Spirit Serpent Technique, you can ring the bell directly. Even if the Mountain Chieftain is in seclusion, she'll come out to meet you and take you as her disciple. This is a special privilege for outer mountain disciples."
Chu Li was surprised. "I can directly ask the hill master to come out of isolated cultivation?"
"Yes." Zhu Yuan nodded and said, "I just remembered this rule. However, it has been many years since an outer mountain disciple successfully cultivated the Spirit Serpent Art. I nearly forgot about it."
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled. "Thank you, Brother Zhu."
Zhu Yuan said, "If you can become an inner mountain disciple, we will all be happy for you."
Chu Li smiled. The tea was already boiling and he started steeping it.
Zhu Yuan was kind, but the others might not be happy for him. It was true that they wanted to replace him.

Chu Li rode the white crane and flew through the clouds, arriving at the basilica of the mountain.
Zhou Jie was already waiting there. When he saw Chu Li, he nodded calmly. "I heard that Brother Chu went down the mountain to cultivate. I want to remind Brother Chu that the Spirit Serpent Technique can only be cultivated in Goddess Attraction Mountain. You can't cultivate it anywhere else."
Chu Li said, "Brother Zhou, I want to ask the hill master to come out of isolated cultivation."
Zhou Jie shook his head lightly. "I'm sorry, Brother Chu. The hill master is in isolated cultivation. Outsiders cannot disturb him."
Chu Li smiled. "I've already cultivated the Spirit Serpent Technique. I want to ask the hill master to verify it."
"Impossible!" Zhou Jie said softly and slowly said, "The Spirit Serpent Technique can't be cultivated in a short period of time."
Chu Li said, "The hill master will know after verifying it."
"Then I can only ring the bell." Zhou Jie said.
Chu Li nodded. "Please lead the way, Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Jie looked at him deeply. "If that's the case, I can only fulfill your wish. Follow me."
He did not believe that Chu Li could really cultivate the Spirit Serpent Technique. He did not know what Chu Li was up to. He had to ask the hill master to come out of isolated cultivation. Could it be that he wanted to tell on him? But there was no need to use this method, right?
He hesitated and brought Chu Li to a high platform outside the palace. There was a small pagoda on it. There was a bronze bell in the pagoda. It was already black as if it had been smoked.
At first glance, it looked ordinary. It was no different from the broken bell that was found in the ruins. When he used the Omniscient Mirror, he realized that he could not see through the inside of the bell. There was an invisible force protecting it.
He squinted his eyes slightly and slowly closed them.
He closed his eyes and activated the Omniscient Mirror to its limit.
The Omniscient Mirror condensed into a spear and pierced towards the layer of force.
The force was unusually strong. When the spear was pierced, it could block it. He could vaguely see a layer of golden light shining in front of the spear. It could not pierce through.
Chu Li did not believe in superstitions. This time, after his Life and Death Scripture had improved, his Omniscient Mirror had also improved a little. The range of his clairvoyance did not change, but his power had become much stronger, firmer, and more detailed.
The spear formed by the Omniscient Mirror pierced continuously and became stronger.
"Hum!" He faintly heard a loud sound.
His vigor shook and the Omniscient Mirror almost collapsed. The loud sound was like thunder that could disperse all kinds of forces.
Chu Li formed a mudra with his hands. His eyes were still closed as he focused on his spirit. The Maha-Vairocana in the void of his mind also formed a mudra. The Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture rang in the void of his mind and quickly calmed down.
The round mirror in the void of his mind appeared again. It became bright again and reflected the inside of the bronze bell. There was a passage of words in the bronze bell.
This passage was not carved on the bell but cast in the center of the bell. It was as if the written words were inserted into the body of the bell. However, these words were formless and were a vague flow of energy.
This was a prayer of two hundred words.
It was not a Buddhist scripture or a Taoist scripture. It was more like a prayer that was recited before a sacrifice to inform the heavens.
He quickly memorized this prayer and recited it in the void of his mind. Suddenly, the void in his mind surged and there was a vibration in the void as if it was about to break through. He felt a strong sense of danger and quickly stopped.
This prayer must have a great origin. Chu Li's expression was solemn. If it could break through the void, it must be something extraordinary.
He thought about it and opened his eyes. He wanted to recite this prayer outside.
Zhou Jie was standing beside him. When he saw that Chu Li had his eyes closed, he did not rush him. He looked calm and peaceful as if he did not feel threatened at all.
He was very sure that Goddess Attraction Mountain had always been passed down to only one person. Even if Chu Li had mastered the Spirit Snake Technique, he might not be able to enter Goddess Attraction Mountain.
