Chapter Forty-Three: The Down-and-Out Aolai Peak

Watching Xiang Yun leave, Di Qingshan also hugged his fist at Xu Qinhan and the others, and said goodbye and left.

Xu Qinhan, Zhao Zhiling, Tang Rui, and Wu Qingfeng stayed in place, you look at me, I look at you, but it feels like being in a dream.

Unexpectedly, when a new disciple was introduced today, he actually got acquainted with such a number one person as Di Qingshan, and the junior disciple who thought he was very ordinary did not expect to be a character who was even better than Di Qingshan.

Looking at the direction of Xiang Yun's departure, Xu Qinhan, who was standing in front of the floating bridge, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally sighed deeply.

Seeing this, Tang Rui on the side couldn't help but move in his heart, and stepped forward to pat Xu Qinhan on the shoulder.

"Senior Brother Xu, are you thinking about the 'Solid Spirit Pill' again?"

Hearing this, Xu Qinhan's figure shook slightly, but when he saw the concerned eyes of Tang Rui, Zhao Zhiling and others, he still nodded gloomily.

"Yes, at the beginning, I wanted to directly break through the Earth Cloud Realm with the help of the Shattering Pill, but I didn't expect the tribulation to fail, if it wasn't for the rescue of the Peak Elders, I'm afraid I would have been wiped out by now. ”

"But even so, I was left with a dark disease, and it was almost hopeless to break through the Earth Cloud Realm. ”

"If you want to attack the Earth Cloud Realm again, you must get a 'Solid Spirit Pill' to repair the dark disease, I have collected almost all the medicinal materials for refining the Solid Spirit Pill over the years, but only one of the main medicines has not been able to obtain it for a long time. I heard some elders of the sect say that this thing only exists in the 'Spirit Hidden Realm', hey......"

"Spirit Hidden Realm!"

As soon as everyone heard these four words, the faces of the three of them changed slightly at the same time, and their eyes showed a look of horror that could not be concealed.

However, a resolute look flashed in Xu Qinhan's eyes.

"The Spirit Hidden Realm is opened every five years, and now it is only more than half a year, and it is about to be opened again, so I will also try my luck in it. ”

Looking at the resolute look on Xu Qinhan's face, Zhao Zhiling and the others glanced at each other, but they could only smile bitterly.

They knew in their hearts that they were afraid that the appearance of Di Qingshan and Xiang Yun today had stimulated this senior brother and rekindled his thoughts of impacting the Earth Cloud Realm.

It's just that with the fierce reputation of this Spirit Hidden Realm, can Senior Brother Xu really succeed?

Not to mention Senior Brother Xu's worries, at this moment, on the Aolai Peak of the Qiyun Palace, Xiang Yun had already stepped off the floating bridge and came to the mountainside of the Aolai Peak.

As soon as he stepped on the realm of Aolai Peak, Xiang Yun immediately felt the cloud power in the air, which was obviously thinner a little.

As soon as his divine thoughts swept over, he felt the fluctuations of the Spirit Gathering Array on Aolai Peak, which seemed to be weaker than the power of the Qilin Peak's formation, and the cloud power he absorbed was naturally less.

Xiang Yun walked up the mountain road, compared to Qilin Peak, he often saw disciples coming and going, and there were occasional escapes in the void.

He walked all the way, but he didn't see a single shadow, but everywhere he passed, he saw a lot of abandoned caves and attics.

There were even a few low-level cloud beasts that occasionally haunted the mountains and forests, casting a cold gaze at him through the dense forest.

Xiang Yun only felt that this Aolai Peak was not like a sect mountain gate, but like a barren mountain, compared to the majestic atmosphere of Qilin Peak, the people were boiling, and it was really far away.

After walking for a while, Xiang Yun lost his interest in watching, and immediately quickened his pace, and soon came to a place close to the top of the mountain.

There is no splendid mountain protection array like Qilin Peak, and Aolai Peak separates the outside world, only the two white jade pillars erected on the mountain road, and the mountain gate plaque built on it, on which are written 'Aolai Peak' three vigorous and powerful characters!

It's just that because it has been in disrepair for a long time, it has been exposed to the sun and rain, and the mountain gate is already covered with moss, and there is even a hideous crack on the huge plaque, which makes people worry that it will break and collapse at any time.

Looking at both sides of the mountain gate, there was not even a single disciple guarding the mountain, Xiang Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Even if the Qiyun Hall is dilapidated, how can this only mountain gate not even have a disciple guarding the door?

Xiang Yun walked through the mountain gate suspiciously, and just wanted to walk towards the mountain, but who knew that he had just crossed the mountain gate.

"Who is it?"

On the side behind the mountain gate, there was a sudden exclamation.

Immediately, there was a sound of rustling, accompanied by some hurried footsteps, from the dense forest.

Xiang Yun followed the prestige, and saw the grass on his side shaking, and a thin figure hurriedly rushed out of the grass.

If it weren't for the fact that he also had a costume of a disciple outside Fengyun Academy, Xiang Yun would almost have regarded him as a wild monkey robbing the road.

This person hurriedly rushed out, looked up at Xiang Yun at the mountain gate, and his face was full of vigilance.

Xiang Yun was also looking at the person who came at the moment, the young man in front of him looked similar in age to himself, but he was also born with yellow muscles and thin muscles, and his body was short, as if he was malnourished, only a pair of black eyes, which were still bright and bright.

As soon as Xiang Yunshen thought about it, he saw that this person's cultivation was only in the early stage of the Xuanyun Realm.

At this moment, the young man seemed to have just woken up, and there was still a clear liquid left at the corner of his mouth that had not been wiped dry, and he couldn't help but yawn at Xiang Yun.

"You...... Who are you, and which temple are you the senior brother of?"

The young man asked a little nervously, but the word 'senior brother' at the end was quite flattering.

It gives people the impression that this person wants to interrogate Xiang Yun, but also is afraid of offending Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun felt funny, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.

"This senior brother must be a disciple of Qiyun Palace, the junior brother is a new disciple, and I hope that the senior brother will be convenient. ”

"New disciple?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xiang Yun a few times, and saw that the other party was not wearing the clothes of a disciple of the academy, and the guard in his expression relaxed a little.

"Do you have proof of identity?"

Xiang Yun hurriedly took out the token in the storage bag and threw it to the young man.

The young man took the token and looked at it, and finally completely relaxed, and looked at Xiang Yun with a smile on his expression.

"It turned out that you were really a new junior brother, I thought you were ...... Hey...... Let's not talk about these for a while, my name is Hou San, I have been practicing in Aolai Peak for almost two years, everyone calls me a monkey, and you can also call me that, junior brother. ”

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Hou, in Xia Xiangyun, Fengyun Guoren's clan, I still hope that Senior Brother will give me a lot of advice. ”

Hearing that Xiang Yun still called himself senior brother, his words were quite polite, and the smile on Hou San's face suddenly became a little thicker.

"Senior brother, don't be polite, I'll take you to the mountain to report for duty. ”

Xiang Yun naturally would not refuse the other party's kindness, so he went up the mountain with Hou San.

This Hou San is also a very talkative person, along the way, Xiang Yun hasn't asked anything, so he took the initiative to tell Xiang Yun about it, and everything is very detailed.

How many palaces, attics, caves, and even mountains and forests have grown those strange flowers and plants, and rare and exotic beasts from this strange cloud hall...... Hou San is like a number of treasures, one by one.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no geography major in this world, Xiang Yun would have suspected that this guy was not here to practice, but to do geological investigations.

However, Xiang Yun also quickly filtered out some effective information from the other party's words, among which he was most concerned about the composition of the personnel on Aolai Peak today.

There are more than 100 outer disciples, 13 inner disciples, five deacons, and three elders.

Among them, the third elder is responsible for transmitting the gong and is the elder with whom the disciples have the most contact, and the second elder is in charge of the criminal law and is the elder that the disciples fear the most.

But there was a huge Aolai Peak, and the number of disciples, deacons, and elders added up was less than two hundred, which still stunned Xiang Yun for a while.

You must know that in the other four halls, each peak has at least a thousand disciples, and the gap between Aolai Peak and these peaks is really too big.

It seemed that he saw the different color on Xiang Yun's face, and Hou San said to him in the tone of a person who had come over.

"Senior brother, if you stay in the situation of Qiyun Hall for a long time, you will naturally get used to it, as long as you don't provoke those inner disciples and deacons, the life on the peak is still quite free. ”

"The specific situation is still waiting for you to assign the cave mansion to Deacon Zhou, and I will tell you slowly. ”

"This means that we have few disciples in the Qiyun Palace, and each person can have a cave mansion, if they are changed to the outer disciples of other peaks, they can only be crowded into a cultivation room with a few people. ”

When Hou San said this, he finally showed a touch of pride.

Xiang Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this, if he could have his own cave mansion, then it would indeed be more convenient for him to cultivate.

The two of them were talking and talking, and they had already arrived at the Qiyun Palace Square.

Compared with the other peaks, the square of the Qiyun Hall is grand in scale, not inferior, but slightly dilapidated.

On the square, a few disciples could occasionally be seen passing by, and they watched Hou San walking with Xiang Yun, all of them cast curious glances, but they didn't say hello and left directly.

Hou San took Xiang Yun to a side hall that was still quite bright, and stood at the door, Hou San hesitated for a moment, but still stopped and said to Xiang Yun.

"Senior brother, this is the disciple hall of Qiyun Palace, Deacon Zhou is responsible for the affairs of the disciples of the outer gate of Qiyun Palace, senior brother will not go in, you can go in and report yourself." ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Hou, for your kindness!"

Xiang Yun's impression of this Hou San is not bad, and he is also quite polite to him.

Hou San scratched his head, smiled, turned around and was about to leave, but he just took a step but seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned around and came to Xiang Yun, and whispered to Xiang Yun.

"By the way, junior brother, Deacon Zhou has a bad temper, you must not offend him, otherwise it will not be easy to live in this Qiyun Palace. ”

Hearing this, Xiang Yun nodded with a smile and thanked the other party for the reminder again, Hou San saw this, so he turned around and left with confidence, and Xiang Yun also stepped into the door of the disciple hall.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Xiang Yun smelled a very pungent smell, like the smell of worldly dry smoke.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw that on the right side of the main hall, on a chaise longue, a person was lying on his side, holding a dry tobacco in his hand, squinting and snorting.

This man is a middle-aged man in his forties, five short statures, a little fat, and his skin is quite white, and he is holding a cigarette stick in his mouth at the moment, squinting his eyes, like a big white cat with a cigarette stick.

As soon as he heard the footsteps outside the door, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and looked out the door.

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar face, the man's face showed suspicion.

There was no need for him to ask more, Xiang Yun had already declared his identity.

"New disciple Xiang Yun, meet Deacon Zhou. ”

"Xiang Yun. ”

Hearing Xiang Yun's name, a hint of surprise obviously flashed in the man's eyes, and he sat up straight.

"You are the kid who won the first place in the Fengyun Kingdom Dynasty Meeting?" Deacon Zhou exhaled a puff of smoke and asked lightly.

"It's the disciple. ”

Hearing Xiang Yun's affirmative answer, a kind smile appeared on Deacon Zhou's fat face, and he nodded.

"Well, being able to achieve this result proves that your cultivation qualifications are excellent, and you will definitely be able to achieve a lot of achievements in cultivating hard in my Aolai Peak in the future. ”

"Thank you Deacon Zhou for your encouragement, the disciple will definitely practice well. Xiang Yun replied humbly.

"Well, yes, not bad, not arrogant, not arrogant, you are a good seedling, Deacon Ben is very optimistic about you!"

When Xiang Yun heard this, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, when Hou San left before, he said that the deacon had a bad temper this week, but now between the words of the deacon this week, it is clear that he is an amiable elder, and Xiang Yun only thought about it in his heart, so he was no longer entangled.

At this time, Deacon Zhou had already taken out a cyan jade slip from his sleeve and said to Xiang Yun.

"This is the mountain map of Aolai Peak in my Qiyun Palace, which records the location of the three hundred and sixty caves and more than 1,200 cultivation rooms in Aolai Peak, you are a new disciple of the outer sect, and now the Aolai Peak Cave Mansion and cultivation rooms are very abundant, you can choose an unmanned cave mansion to cultivate at will. ”

When Xiang Yun heard this, he hurriedly took the jade slip, and his mind swept towards the jade slip, and he immediately sensed a topographic map.

The entire Aolai Peak is depicted in the drawings, and each cave and cultivation room is marked with a white dot, and a small number is marked with a red dot.

"The white dot is the cave house that is now empty, and the red dot represents the inhabited one, as long as you choose the mountain peak and inject your divine thoughts into it, the white dot will naturally turn red. ”

"And the closer you get to the top of the mountain, the stronger the cloud power becomes, although the sect stipulates that outer disciples can only live below the mountainside, but as long as you choose not too close to the peak, you can choose a cave at random on the mountainside, I can also make the decision to agree. ”

Deacon Zhou kindly reminded on the side.

Xiang Yun hurriedly thanked him, and he was busy choosing his own cave mansion, and after a long while, Deacon Zhou's brows began to wrinkle slightly, and Xiang Yun picked up the jade slip with both hands and handed it to Deacon Zhou.

"Back to the deacon, the disciple has already been chosen. ”

Deacon Zhou nodded and took the jade slip, and his mind swept away, but the next moment he showed a look of surprise!

"You chose this place?"
