Chapter 168: Departure

"Changed again? Isn't it a treasure hunt in a secret realm?"

"There's nothing new, is it?"

In the audience, all the disciples were discussing, and on the stage, the elder continued:

"The Qianzhou Xu family and the Wang family are willing to open the secret realm, therefore, for three days, the rest of the disciples will be divided into two groups, the Yuan Infant and Jin Dan periods, and go to the Wang family's purgatory, build the foundation, practice qi, and go to the Xu family's Linglong Pagoda."

"Purgatory? Why does that sound so terrible?" Zhu Yuan also heard the elder's words.

"In the purgatory, only the last ten disciples can hold out to the end; As for the specific situation in the secret territory, we don't know, but at least we can ensure the safety of your lives, once you can't hold on, you can mobilize your spiritual power to urge the token you carry, and outside the secret territory, there will be a special responsible senior to take you out."

"And the Linglong Tower, the ranking is judged by the number of layers, the higher the level, the more difficult, the Linglong Pagoda has a total of nine layers, when you reach the ninth floor and complete the trial, it will automatically pass out of the secret realm, and similarly, when you die in the secret realm or urge the token to surrender, it will automatically determine that you have failed, and pass out of the secret realm."

The elder looked to the sidelines.

"The Linglong Pagoda is rumored to be built for beginner disciples, and no one has been able to break through the ninth floor so far, and I also hope that our Taoshan disciples can break this record."

"We will have two elders who will be in charge of the connection between the two secret realms. Next, please ask the knights of Jin Dan and Yuan Infant to come out and follow me to the Wang family." After the elder finished speaking, he walked in the front and deliberately slowed down.

"Senior brother, it's your turn." Li Xuansheng looked at Zhu Yuan who was slowly moving with his hands, still doing a handstand, funny.

"Forget it, walk normally, don't lose face to our teacher, don't come back if you can't get the best." Lu Man said on the side.

"Okay!" Zhu Yuan, who got the agreement, hurriedly turned his head, stood still, and patted the ash on his hands.

"Master, just look at it."

Then Zhu Yuan waved his hand and walked away with the large army.

For a time, many people in Momoyama walked in the air, and the scene was very spectacular.

The head of Momoyama looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel emotional. "Ladies and gentlemen, you are the hope of our Momoyama future."

"yes." The elder on the side nodded.

"Alright." Elder Li stepped on the ground and jumped to his feet.

"During the Qi cultivation period, the disciples of Momoyama in the foundation building period, leave with me."

In the main hall of Taoshan, half of the people had already left, and the remaining half, there were also many disciples in the Qi cultivation period and foundation building period who were ready to get up after listening to Elder Li's words.

"Okay, junior brother, it's your turn, you have to do your best." Li Xuansheng cheered Wei Changming on the side.

"Well, brother, I will." Wei Changming clenched his fists and looked at Lu Man.

"Master, I'm leaving."

Lu Man nodded, and his tone was not as soft as he did with Li Xuansheng and Zhu Yuan.

"Go ahead, don't force yourself."

Wei Changming nodded, and then followed the departing people.

······

After a while, the main hall was more than half empty, and the crowded space became much more empty in an instant.

"Master." On the main hall, Li Xuansheng suddenly asked Lu Man.

"Huh?"

"How do you feel that your tone of voice towards Senior Brother Wei is much better, and it seems that when you talk to me and Senior Brother Zhu, you have changed as a person."

"Does Wei Changming drink?" "No, it won't."

"Does Wei Changming gamble?" "No, it won't."

"Well, so I wouldn't treat him the same way I did to you."

「······」

Because it was to lead the way for the beginner disciples, Elder Li at the front did not walk very fast, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to reach the sea of flowers and prepare to leave Taoshan.

And because the disciples who practiced qi and built the foundation could not fly in the air, the group took the land route.

When passing by the bazaar at the foot of the mountain, looking at the mighty crowd, the people in the bazaar instantly understood that today was the day of Dabi

Wei Changming walked at the end of the crowd and carefully counted the number of people in this line.

Although the number of people in Momoyama is scarce, compared to the area of the sect, it can not be said that the land is vast and sparsely populated, but after the deepening of exchanges with the outside world in the past few years, the number of disciples of the younger generation of Momoyama has also increased to a certain extent.

Just now, Wei Changming made a rough estimate that there were fifty or sixty disciples in Taoshan who participated in the Great Competition for Qi cultivation and foundation building, and the two realms accounted for half each, about half.

The sharp-eyed Wei Changming found that there were many familiar people in the crowd, such as Wang Yu, such as the boy chopping wood.

The young man who chopped wood that Wei Changming first met was also in the team, and after Li Xuansheng's introduction, he also learned that the young man's name was Yichen, and he was the Yuanzhou Feng family.

The most surprising thing was that Wei Changming discovered Xiao Yu and Xu Xiao.

Wei Changming originally thought that Elder Li, who was the leader, would not let his children participate in this competition, after all, although the competition would try its best to ensure safety, it was not completely impossible for accidents to happen.

But it seemed that Xiao Yu was jumping in the middle of the team, but he was not worried at all.

And Xu Xiao, Wei Changming heard that he was still lying in bed not long ago to recuperate, and the injury was supposed to be not so quick to heal, I don't know what kind of pill he took, or insisted on coming to the big competition with his injury.

In fact, Wei Changming still felt a little guilty about Xu Xiao, after all, at the beginning, Wei Changming didn't want to put such a heavy hand, it was really just because of the previous encounter and Xu Xiao's overconfidence that Wei Changming didn't dare to keep his hand, so he also formed a bond with the two brothers of the Xu family.

"Wait, Xu Xiao, Xu family, Xu family Linglong Tower, Xu Xiao won't be from this Qianzhou Xu family."

Just as Wei Changming was thinking.

"Yo, isn't this the Wei boy that Li Xiaozi brought last time, I haven't seen him for so many days, and he has become a disciple of Taoshan."

At this time, in the market on the side, the voice of a middle-aged man came.

Wei Changming looked at it, it was an elder in the casino that Senior Brother Li took him to when he came to Taoshan for the first time.

"Uncle Zhang, it's you, why are you here?" Wei Changming greeted politely.

"Boy, remember me?" Uncle Zhang was a little surprised, then grinned and said with a smile: "Such a big movement, Uncle Zhang hasn't heard it yet, of course I have to take a look."

Uncle Zhang stepped forward and patted Wei Changming on the shoulder.

"Come on, young man, when you come back, call Li Boy, let's have a few more drinks!"

"Good!" Wei Changming nodded, and then followed the somewhat disjointed large army.

Passing through the formation, the eyes flickered.

Waiting for Wei Changming to stand still again, the scene in front of him had changed to a downward staircase, and a mountain forest that was shaded by the shade of trees.

"Alright, keep up." Elder Li, who was at the front, quickened his pace, and in a blink of an eye, he opened a distance from his disciples, and behind Elder Li, many people who were originally chatting quickly stopped talking and hurried to keep up.

Wei Changming was at the end, just enjoying the scenery along the road, when he suddenly saw the crowd in front of him running, and hurriedly followed.

"Whew, how long will it take?" Wei Changming kept panting and looked at the changes in the scene around him.

Wei Changming climbed down the mountain, passed through the town that was separated from Xu Ziyu and the others, ran through a straight avenue, and now shuttled through the dense forest.

At this time, two full hours have passed since the descent of the mountain, and in these two hours, the large army has not stopped resting, and the speed of the team has slowly decreased, whenever more than half of the people are left behind, Elder Li at the front will stop, sit on the spot, wait for everyone to follow, then accelerate again, and then wait for someone to fall behind, and then stop, and so on.

In these two hours, almost all the disciples in the Qi cultivation period had stopped to rest, and the foundation building period was also a little laborious.

Elder Li was at the forefront of the control too well, the speed was not fast or slow, it was just a speed that everyone could accept, but it had to work hard to catch up.

"Hurry up, in less than an hour, we will be able to reach our destination, Xu family." After waiting for a break, Elder Li was again

I got up and moved.

Behind him, many people complained, "What, I've only been resting for a few minutes, why am I in a hurry again."

Elder Li heard the complaints behind him, and he didn't get angry, and said patiently, "Everyone, since Dabi is in someone else's venue, don't be late, this will not be good for Momoyama's prestige, or for yourselves, okay, move."

The disciples behind him were helpless, and what Elder Li said was unreasonable, so he had to keep up.

"Whew." Xu Xiao, who exhaled deeply, ended his rest, opened his eyes, looked at the moving crowd, and clenched his fists.

"This time, I must get back what I lost."

······

Previously, after Momoyama had learned from Wei Changming, Xu Xiao had lost face, and since he woke up, every time he saw the eyes of others and saw others whispering, he felt that they were mocking him.

For this reason, Xu Xiao couldn't eat well or sleep well, so he seized the time to cultivate whenever he had time, wanting to wait for an opportunity to prove himself.

Therefore, when his brother Xu Qi and his master asked him for his opinion on whether he wanted to participate in the big competition, Xu Xiao agreed without hesitation.

"Xu Xiao, have you decided?" Xu Qi held a herb and stood by the bed, looking at his younger brother.

"This is what I asked for from my master, although this glow grass can heal your injuries, but it will have a lot of side effects, and within this year, your realm will not be improved in any way."

"Brother, I have decided, even if I don't take glow grass, it will take at least half a year for me to fully recover, and because of this delay, I think the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to give it a go, and use the resources I have earned to ensure that I will advance next year, and at the same time." Xu Xiao's expression gradually became firm, "I don't want others to look down on me anymore."

"Good!" Hearing his younger brother's answer, Xu Qi didn't say much, walked out of the room with the herbs, and after a while, took a glass of herb juice.

"Alright, you can take it."

Xu Xiao didn't talk nonsense, took the herb juice, took it orally, and then sat up on the spot.

That night, Xu Qi, who was practicing his moves outside, heard the sound of pushing the door, put down the weapon in his hand, turned his head, and saw his younger brother walking out of the room.

"Are you alright?"

"Hmm." Xu Xiao moved his muscles.

"The herb really works, and I feel like my injuries are almost healed."
