Out of Huayang Sect to the south, about fifty miles, there is a Xuanmu Mountain Range, stretching for thousands of miles, and the fog is filled all year round.

At this moment, Li Xiuping and others stopped at the periphery of Xuanmu Mountain, everyone's expressions were a little dignified, and there was even a trace of fear in their eyes.

The handsome and extraordinary disciple turned to look at Li Xiuping at this time, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Li can, he has walked such a long way, it is easier than me." ”

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "I used to run in the mountains a lot, and I got used to it." ”

The disciple nodded, but he didn't care much, and continued: "There is Xuanmu Mountain ahead, and after entering the mountain for a while, Senior Brother Li will have to follow us." This Xuanmu Mountain is one of the precious heritages of my Huayang Sect, which is rich in products, natural treasures, spiritual birds and beasts, countless, and naturally dangerous. ”

"Senior Brother Hao, when I first went up the mountain, I heard that this Xuanmu Mountain was not called Xuanmu Mountain before?" He looked at the burly disciple and asked.

The burly disciple glanced back at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Indeed, Xuanmu Mountain was changed later, I heard that it used to be called Wujue Mountain, and it was a secret realm refined by Huayang Sect Patriarch Huayangzi Ancestor with supreme divine power, and the five elements are inherited, Xuanmu Mountain is only the smallest one, and there are four mountains of earth, fire, water, and gold on it. It is rumored that the Earth Dragon Ball of our Fang Sect was obtained in the Fang Earth Mountain on the fourth layer. ”

The rest of the disciples seemed to hear this for the first time, and they all looked curious and looked at the burly disciples. The nun surnamed Cai hurriedly asked, "Really?" How come I've never heard of it before? ”

The disciple surnamed Hao said with a smile: "In the classics of the inner gate, there is indeed a record, this is a time when I practiced with a senior brother of the inner gate, and he told me personally. However, it is not easy to go to the other mountains, and for a cultivator like ours, walking on Xuanmu Mountain is already the limit.

"According to that senior brother's statement, at the end of Xuanmu Mountain, there is a thousand-year-old locust tree that is comparable to the pinnacle of foundation building, and only by defeating this locust tree can you enter the second layer of Tianshui Mountain. And the danger of Tianshui Mountain is far better than that of Xuanmu Mountain, and the lowest strength among them is also a third-order spirit beast comparable to a foundation building monk, and only disciples who have successfully built a foundation can enter it to experience. ”

The female cultivator said: "Then Senior Brother Hao is also soon, now Senior Brother Hao is already the eighth level of Qi cultivation, and it won't take long to build a foundation." ”

The monk surnamed Hao nodded with a smile and said, "Under the foundation, all are mortals, and it is not so easy to successfully build the foundation, it can only depend on chance and luck." But if I can really build a foundation, I will definitely go to Tianshui Mountain to have a look. ”

At this time, another disciple asked, "Are the other three mountains more dangerous?" ”

The disciple surnamed Hao retracted his longing, nodded, and continued: "After Tianshui Mountain, it is Huoyun Mountain, which needs to reach Jindan cultivation, and then Fangtu Mountain, so naturally it needs to reach the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage, as for the last Jinding Mountain, only the legendary powerhouses of the Transformation Stage can set foot on it." ”

Everyone was shocked, it turned out that the Huayang Sect they knew before was only the tip of the iceberg.

A place that only the powerhouses of the Transformation Stage can set foot in is only a secret realm refined by the ancestor of the Huayang Sect's Creation Sect, so how strong is the ancestor of the Huayang Sect?

"That's not right, Senior Brother said, only Yuanying powerhouses can enter Fangtu Mountain, but our head only has Jindan stage cultivation." Soon, some disciples found out about this and couldn't help but ask.

The disciple surnamed Hao smiled and said, "Cultivation is a thing that is in the realm, but it can't be generalized. Although the head of our Fang Sect is only a Jindan stage cultivator, in terms of strength, even some Yuanying powerhouses cannot be compared with it. ”

The female cultivator surnamed Cai suddenly said: "I know, just like the old ancestor of the Chen family, known as the strongest Jindan powerhouse in our Yunzhou, he has killed the Yuanying powerhouse more than once with the Jindan stage cultivation. ”

The disciple surnamed Hao nodded and said, "Therefore, although our Fang Sect Master only has Jindan cultivation, he has a strength comparable to that of a Yuanying powerhouse, so he can naturally enter Fang Tu Mountain." However, even if it was our Fang Sect Master, he came out of Fangtu Mountain that time, and I heard that he had suffered a lot of heavy losses. This is enough to prove how dangerous it is in the mountains of earth. ”

Everyone nodded again and again, only Li Xiuping, whose eyes kept rolling at the moment, didn't know what he was thinking.

"Senior brother said earlier that there is a thousand-year-old locust tree in this Xuanmu Mountain that is comparable to the pinnacle of foundation building?" Just when everyone was shocked, Li Xiuping asked.

The monk surnamed Hao nodded and said, "It's also what Senior Brother Neimen said, I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Li Xiuping nodded, lost in thought.

The female cultivator surnamed Cai said at this time: "Don't worry, even if there is, it is impossible for us to meet it." ”

The disciple surnamed Hao nodded and said, "Indeed, although our task is not easy, after all, we don't need to face the real foundation building demon beast, let alone the foundation building peak." ”

If these people knew what Li Xiuping was thinking at the moment, they really didn't know what their expressions would be.

Of course, Li Xiuping was not afraid, although the demon beast at the peak of the foundation building was not easy to deal with, but if he wanted to escape, there would be no problem at all.

What he was thinking about now was how to find the thousand-year-old locust tree and reap the benefits.

With the harvest of the black bone vine last time, Li Xiuping was now extremely excited when he heard about a demon beast like Lingzhi, not to mention that he still owed the spirit stones to the two disciples of the Sword Pavilion, and he urgently needed to get enough spirit stones to return within half a month.

Lightning strikes wood or something, Li Xiuping doesn't have extravagant hopes, as long as he can get one or two good heavenly and earthly treasures, since these people say that the thousand-year-old locust tree is so terrible, then no one around it will set foot on it, and the probability of being able to meet the heavenly and earthly treasures will also be greatly increased.

It's just a pity that these people don't know where the thousand-year-old locust tree is......

"Alright, let's finish the task first."

The disciple surnamed Hao said, and walked into Xuanmu Mountain first.

Soon everyone completed the first task, obtaining a ten-consecutive Vajra vine without encountering any accidents.

The second task that the group decided to complete was to kill a white-fronted tiger and obtain the four claws of the white-fronted tiger.

Five or six Qi cultivators besieged and killed a white-fronted tiger, and it was not very difficult, and they easily completed two tasks.

As the time continued, in just one day, everyone had completed half of all the tasks, but everyone's mood began to become heavy.

Although there are still two days to go, and although there are less than thirty missions left, the difficulty of these tasks is far more than that of the previous tasks.

However, at the end of this day, Li Xiuping's nine tasks have been completed, and the tasks of the remaining people have been completed in an extremely chaotic manner, some have completed half of them, and some have only completed one or two. So what task to complete first has become a headache for everyone.

It was already dark at the moment, and if you continued to walk around the mountains, it would only increase the danger.

Everyone found a relatively safe place to station, and discussed how to complete the next task.

After discussion, everyone divided and sorted the remaining tasks in more detail, and then studied the tasks one by one to find the most feasible way to complete them.

From beginning to end, Li Xiuping was directly thrown aside, after all, Li Xiuping's current tasks have been completed, so naturally there is nothing for him, they can't still expect a new disciple who doesn't even practice qi to help, right?

Li Xiuping was also happy to be idle, only thinking about how to meet the thousand-year-old locust tree.

Early the next morning, the group continued their journey, and as they continued to go deeper into the Cyclone Mountain, the dangers encountered became more and more numerous and difficult to deal with.

In just one morning, two of the six people were injured, although they were not seriously injured, but they would definitely have an impact on the next tasks, and the harvest was to complete three tasks.

At this rate, there is simply not enough time to complete the remaining tasks, let alone the further you go, the more difficult the tasks that need to be completed.

At this moment, everyone joined forces to complete another task, and after determining that the task on the jade plate was gone, they sat down directly and gasped for breath.

"Senior Brother Hao, it's not a way to go on like this, it's only a day and a half, but our remaining tasks add up to more than twenty ......."

A disciple looked at the unfinished task on his jade plate with a bitter expression.

Everyone also nodded their heads and looked at the disciple surnamed Hao. They all knew that this mission would be difficult to complete, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult.

The disciple surnamed Hao also had a bitter face, because he had nothing to do.

Although there have been joint missions in the past, it is a union with the disciples of other lineages, and they can still learn from each other's strengths. But now they are all Danfang disciples, and they are all relatively weak existences in combat power, even if they can find the needs of the task in the shortest time, they can't deal with the demon beasts they encounter.

Now that he has reached the depths of Xuanmu Mountain, he will encounter the demon beasts of Xuanmu Mountain at every turn, and if he continues like this, let alone successfully complete the task, he doesn't know if he can go back alive.

"Maybe I can help." Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Li Xiuping spoke.

Everyone immediately looked at Li Xiuping.

"How can you help? It's nice not to add to the mess. The female disciple surnamed Cai pursed her lips.

Li Xiuping was not angry, and said with a smile: "Before coming to Huayang Sect, I stayed in the Night Walking Division for a while, and I still know a lot about demon beasts. For example, the three-eyed wolf we need to deal with next, its strength is actually not strong, the trouble is that there are many of them, then we only need to separate them, weaken their combat power, and then behead their leaders to obtain wolf blood, if it goes well, it will not delay too much time. ”

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and after a while, they all nodded their heads in turn.

Everyone originally planned to leave Li Xiuping directly, but they were worried that Li Xiuping would be in danger if he stayed alone, so they had to take it with them. Now that Li Xiuping said this, everyone felt that this little junior brother was not useless, at least he knew the weaknesses of demon beasts and knew how to deal with those demon beasts.

It seems that this time the elders asked them to bring Li Xiuping with them, and it was not completely without consideration.

But the crowd soon became embarrassed again. Now although he knows how to deal with the three-eyed wolf, he doesn't know where to find the three-eyed wolf.

Li Xiuping said: "Since it is a joint task, then I don't think there is any need to divide the tasks into priorities, so that completing them in turn will only waste more time, it is better to go forward directly, do whatever tasks you encounter, and finally integrate the unfinished tasks, which can save a lot of time." ”

Everyone frowned.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Li Xiuping continued: "Anyway, all the tasks have to be done, as long as one is not completed, all of them will be invalidated, so simple or difficult, there is no need to divide the order; And now we are in good shape, even if we encounter difficult tasks, we are sure to complete them. But if you do all the simple things first, you will lose your physical strength, and then you will do the difficult ones, and you will be more likely to fail. ”

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect this, and when they looked at Li Xiuping again, they couldn't help but admire it a little more.

The man surnamed Hao was a little embarrassed at the moment, after all, everyone along the way was looking at him, what he thought was a good way, but now it has become a bad way, isn't it his problem?

Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Of course, Senior Brother Hao's previous method is no problem, although we are the same family, but there are not many opportunities to fight together on weekdays, there is a lack of tacit understanding between each other, first use the best demon beasts to hone the tacit understanding, and then even if you face powerful demon beasts, the certainty of victory is much greater." ”

Everyone was originally a little embarrassed, but nodded again and again at this moment.

The disciple surnamed Hao looked at Li Xiuping, his eyes full of gratitude. Regardless of whether what Li Xiuping said made sense or not, at least he was given a step down to go down, and said: "Since the junior brother knows the demon beast best, then let's listen to the junior brother and strive to complete all the tasks as soon as possible." ”

Many people immediately nodded their heads, only a few frowned, but they didn't say anything.

Let a new disciple who didn't even practice qi to command them, of course they weren't convinced. But now that everyone is tied to a rope, they can't come up with a better way, so in order to complete the task, they can only do what Li Xiuping said.

Soon everyone continued to move forward, no longer sticking to what task to do first, but doing what they encountered, plus with Li Xiuping's participation, most of the remaining tasks were quickly completed, and the remaining tasks were shared, and everyone could not share one.

At this moment, everyone was facing a blood-red python, and behind this blood-red python was a valley of rubble and rubble, which contained the dragon snake fruit needed for their mission.

The strength of this giant python is comparable to that of a foundation building monk, and coupled with its huge size, it is difficult to deal with even a foundation building monk, let alone these Qi cultivation period monks who are injured.

If you want to say that there are no injuries in their group, I am afraid that only Li Xiuping, who has been standing in the rear.

"Little junior brother, how should I deal with this thing?"

The disciple surnamed Hao looked at the mountain-like giant python in front of him and swallowed a mouthful of spit.

Everyone also looked at Li Xiuping.

Along the way, they encountered a lot of powerful demon beasts, but according to the method given by this little junior brother, it was really much easier to deal with.

"It's simple, just cut it." Li Xiuping said, walked out directly, and then walked straight towards the giant python.

Everyone froze in place, looking horrified.
