Akayama is not a mountain, but a group of mountains. The land of the Red Mountains www.biquge.info is red and hard as rocks, hence the name. The Red Mountains cover an extremely vast area and are boundless. Although Mt. Chishan is named after the crimson land, when you look at it, it is not a red color, but a lush green. Hundreds of thousands of plant species grow on the land of Akayama. The plants that can grow in Akayama are not ordinary plants, and the land of Akayama is as hard as rock, and the plants that can grow in such an environment are extremely vigorous plants. Many of these plants can be used for alchemy, some fruits can be used for alchemy, some rhizomes can be used for medicine, and some whole plants are precious herbs. Therefore, many monks come to Chishan every day to look for various medicinal herbs, especially those monks who are proficient in alchemy, and they simply regard Chishan as a paradise.

But Akayama's stuff is not so easy to hold. There is a behemoth-level force in the cultivation realm in Chishan, and that is the Fire Cloud Palace. It can be said that the entire Red Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Fire Cloud Palace, everything in the Red Mountain is the private property of the Fire Cloud Palace, if you want to collect medicinal herbs in the Red Mountain, you must obtain the consent of the Fire Cloud Palace, and you must pay an expensive fee to the Fire Cloud Palace in advance, and you must also hand over half of the income to the Fire Cloud Palace. However, even so, countless people still come to Chishan every day to collect all kinds of precious medicinal herbs.

Of course, there are also people who don't come for the herbs of Akayama. Instead, he came to the Fire Cloud Palace. The Huoyun Palace is about to start the annual disciple selection, so every day there are many eligible young people from all over the world who come to Chishan through the teleportation array. Chishan's teleportation array was not in the Huoyun Palace, but in a small city called Huoyun City under the jurisdiction of the Huoyun Palace. Huoyun Palace has set up a management body in Huoyun City to manage people from all walks of life who come to Chishan. Whether you are here to collect herbs, or to trade herbs, or to participate in the selection of disciples, you must register in Huoyun City, and after registration, you can only participate in Chishan activities after receiving the corresponding waist card. If you don't have a waist card to move in Red Mountain, it will be regarded as a provocation to the Fire Cloud Palace, and you will be included in the enemy's list by the Fire Cloud Palace to strike.

Zhang Xiaoyu and I came out of the teleportation array and found that this Huoyun City was really lively, there were people everywhere, and there was no mortal, all of them were monks.

"This is my third time in Huoyun City." Zhang Xiaoyu muttered.

"You're two thousand years old, have you only been here three times?" I asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at me and said, "This is my sad place, the first time I came, I came to participate in the selection of disciples of Huoyun Palace, I was only eighty-five years old that year, and I was eliminated. The second time I came to pick medicinal herbs, I had a fight with someone for a strange grass, destroyed a lot of medicinal herbs, and was expelled by the Huoyun Palace, and was not allowed to enter the Red Mountain again for a hundred years. Since then, I have not been to Chishan, and more than a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. ”

"I see." I said with a smile.

"Yang Shu, if you want to come to participate in the disciple selection, you must first go to the Disciple Selection Management Hall to register a temporary preparatory disciple's identity waist card. Only with a waist card can you participate in the selection. Zhang Xiaoyu said.

"Okay, you can take me there." I nodded.

The Disciple Selection Management Hall is in the center of Huoyun City. When Zhang Xiaoyu and I came to the Disciple Selection Management Hall, there were already many people queuing up to register. I also consciously went up to line up, and Zhang Xiaoyu waited for me on the side.

There were a lot of people in front of me, and in front of me was a beautiful woman in a blue dress, with a special aura of the spirit of nature, and I felt that it should be a demon clan.

The woman in blue glanced back at me with a curious look in her eyes. After all, I was dressed in a strange way, and I was still dressed casually on earth, a white T-shirt, a pair of sky blue jeans, and a pair of black and white casual running shoes. There are so many outfits in my watch space, all casual clothes on the planet. After all these years, they have been well preserved by me, of course, not because they are not bad for decades, but because I protect them well. When a cultivator breaks through to the secret realm of the rooftop, he is already an impervious body, and all the objects around the cultivator will be protected by the impervious body and will be extremely difficult to age and decay. The so-called non-leakage body means that all changes in the climate and environment of the outside world cannot affect the body of the practitioner.

Although there were a lot of people in line, it was soon the turn of the woman in blue.

The person in charge of registration was a middle-aged man with eyes as sharp as knives, as if he could see through all the secrets of others at a glance. Registration is very simple, just say your name, other things like the realm, age, there is no secret at all under the eyes of a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at the woman in blue and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Golden Orchid." The woman in blue replied, her voice crisp and moving.

"Okay, put a trace of your divine power into this test ball." The middle-aged man pointed to a huge golden ball on the side and said.

The golden orchid put her hand on the golden ball at a glance, and entered a trace of her divine power, and there was a flash of light on the golden ball, and then a jade plaque floated out of the golden ball, just like a wood rising from the water. This golden ball should be a spatial treasure with inner space.

"Okay, Jin Yulan take your waist card, this waist card is valid until the day of the end of the disciple selection, during which you can use the waist card to move in Chishan." The middle-aged man said, "Next." ”

Jin Orchid took the waist card and left, and I came to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man's eyes glanced at me, and I felt like I was standing in front of someone, and there was no secret at all. This middle-aged man's cultivation is absolutely terrifying.

"What's your name?" The middle-aged man asked.

"My name is Yang Shu." I replied honestly.

"Okay, put a trace of your divine power into the test ball." The middle-aged man commanded.

I put my right hand on the golden ball according to my words, and entered a trace of divine power into the golden ball, and as the divine power probed in, I felt that this golden ball was indeed a spatial treasure, and there was a large inner space in it. But before I could take a closer look, a jade plaque appeared inside the golden ball.

"Okay, Yang Shu, take your waist card, this waist card is valid until the day of the end of the disciple selection, during which you can use the waist card to move in Chishan." The middle-aged man said, "Next." ”

I reached out and picked up my waist card, feeling it carefully as I walked to see if there was anything special. My divine power probed into the jade plate, and as a result, there was a message back to me: "Yang Shu, sixty-five years old, Divine Power Secret Realm, No. 10,000. ”

Sure enough, the middle-aged man could tell the age and realm of others at a glance, and I guessed that he could even see some other secrets of others if he wanted to. Of course, I'm not worried that he will see my specialness, such as my dantian sea, my ten Hongqiao, etc., I don't believe that he can see it at a glance, even Feng Li can't see it, I don't believe that he is more powerful than Feng Li.

I have already lined up to 10,000 and eight, and there are still more than ten days to go before the selection begins, and it is estimated that tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, will eventually participate in the selection, and the competition is really fierce.

When I came out of the Disciple Selection Management Hall, Zhang Xiaoyu was waiting at the door. Seeing me come out, he greeted me and said, "Yang Shu, how many numbers do you have in line?" ”

"Ten Thousand and Eight." I said.

"I've already inquired, the Fire Cloud Palace is only recruiting a hundred disciples this year, looking at the posture, the number of people who come to sign up should exceed 100,000. It's like one in a thousand, and the competition is much more intense than the one I participated in back then. Zhang Xiaoyu sighed.

"Even if it's one in a million, I will enter the Fire Cloud Palace." I said confidently.

"That is, if you can't get into a demon like you, then this world is too crazy." Zhang Xiaoyu said.

"Xiaoyu, how it was selected, do you understand?" I asked.

"I don't know much because the selection is different every year. The selection method will be announced only when the time is up. Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head and said.

I was dizzy, this was more mysterious than the college entrance examination I took back then. However, no matter how I choose, I am confident that I will succeed. There are still more than ten days to start the selection of disciples, where should I go to pass the time?

"Yang Shu, while there is still some time, how about we go pick some herbs?" Zhang Xiaoyu proposed.

"Herb picking? I was not interested in herbs. I shook my head.

"Yang Shu, don't think that medicinal herbs are useless to you. In the future, when you enter the Fire Cloud Palace, you can exchange medicinal herbs for some good things. Moreover, you are a temporary preparatory disciple, and you don't have to pay half of the herbs you pick to Huoyun Palace. Zhang Xiaoyu said.

"Really? Is there such a good thing? "I'm interested.

"Yes, there is this kind of good thing, as long as you pass the selection, then the herbs you pick are yours, and you can exchange them for some good things in the Fire Cloud Palace; Of course, if you don't pass the selection, then all the herbs you pick will be handed over to the Fire Cloud Palace. Zhang Xiaoyu explained.

"How does the Fire Cloud Palace know how many herbs I've picked?" I asked curiously.

"How many herbs have you picked, what kind of herbs are they, your waist cards will be recorded one by one, and when you hand over the waist cards for inspection, Huoyun Palace will know them when you check them." Zhang Xiaoyu said.

Damn, this waist card still has this function, isn't this a portable spy?

"Then if someone throws away the waist card, the Huoyun Palace won't know how many herbs they have picked." I said.

"There will be someone in the Huoyun Palace to inspect the entire Red Mountain, if it is checked that you don't have a waist card, then you will be finished, and you will be directly killed, or you will be expelled from the Red Mountain, and you will never be allowed to enter the Red Mountain again." Zhang Xiaoyu said.

It turns out that this is the case, it seems that if you want to move in the Red Mountain, you must also have a waist card.

"Yang Shu, if you go to pick herbs, you give a word." Zhang Xiaoyu said.

"Go, of course." I replied cheerfully.

"Okay, then I'm going to get a waist card for collecting herbs first, you can go with me." Zhang Xiaoyu said.

"Didn't you come here to pick herbs before? Why do you still have to do a waist card? I asked

"The waist card for collecting herbs is only valid for one year, and after it expires, it must be reissued. If you re-apply for it, you must pay the herb collection tax again, one million magic crystal coins. Zhang Xiaoyu said helplessly.

"Ah, so much, in the long run, the Huoyun Palace will have to be rich." I exclaimed.

"Therefore, not everyone is qualified to come to Chishan to pick herbs. First of all, the money level is stuck in a lot of people. Zhang Xiaoyu sighed.
