"Feel free to come and go anywhere?" Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "I didn't ask about this, as long as it's not too secret, it should be possible to enter and exit." ”

Fang Yan's face darkened slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, and asked, "You just said that we can go down the mountain at any time?" ”

"Because we don't have to be responsible for the chores in Qingyun Peak, we can go down the mountain at any time." Zhang Yang smiled: "However, there is still a time limit, and you must come back within half a year after going down the mountain." Moreover, before going down the mountain, I got a pass from the elders. Otherwise, no one will be able to get down. You may not know that on both sides of the stone staircase from which we came up, there are countless secret sentinels. ”

"Half a year?" Fang Yan frowned slightly.

"Be content." Zhang Yang rolled his eyes and said, "You must know that those Yuan Qi Stage disciples who are still undergoing the second and third tests will only have these treatments after their strength has reached the late stage of the Soul Condensing Realm. Before that, they could only be like the nearly one-percent Yuan Qi stage disciples, and they only had fifteen days to go down the mountain every year. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that Qingyun Peak's Soul Condensing Pill is really not so easy to take." ”

"This is natural, you can also see, Qingyun Peak is so big and covers such a wide area, those chores must be done by someone. They have benefited from Qingyun Peak, so naturally they have to pay a little price. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Besides, there is no mention in the door that they will be allowed to do chores for a lifetime. As long as the strength breaks through to the late stage of the Soul Condensing Realm, you don't need to do those chores. This method can also spur them to practice hard. The vitality here is so abundant, as long as you are not lazy, not afraid of hard work, and take time out to practice after doing those chores, it may be enough for people with outstanding qualifications to enter from the early stage to the later stage. Even if the qualifications are ordinary, four or five years should be enough. Taking four or five years to exchange for a Soul Condensing Pill is already like a cake falling from the sky for most people. You also know how difficult it is to earn some Yuan Stones during the Yuan Qi Period, and being able to earn dozens of Intermediate Yuan Stones a year is the extreme. ”

Fang Yan smiled slightly, but did not refute.

Zhang Yang stretched his waist and turned to walk towards the middle of the house, "I've been tossing for so long, I'm really tired, I have to go to sleep." If you're interested, you can look around and see if no one is going to stop you. By the way, there are no fights in this area, so you don't have to worry about those two guys getting you in trouble. ”

Fang Yan nodded, and after standing in place for a while, seeing that there was no one around, he raised his leg and walked towards a disciple not far away.

"Senior brother, can I ask you something?" Standing in front of a disciple with mid-stage strength in the Soul Condensing Realm, Fang Yan asked politely.

The disciple glanced at Fang Yan and smiled, "What's the matter?" ”

"I heard from other senior brothers that new disciples must receive some chores from the door every month, I wonder if these chores are arranged by the elders in the door or can they be selected by themselves?"

"Well...... this senior brother looked at Fang Yan with a smile on his face, but he didn't say the words in time.

Seeing this, Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly took out two intermediate yuan stones from his body and handed them over: "Please also ask senior brother to inform."

Seeing that Fang Yan took out two intermediate yuan stones, this senior brother's eyes lit up, and he took it happily, and said, "These chores are naturally arranged by the elders in the door. Under normal circumstances, it is changed every six months. However, junior brother, even if you joined in with the strength of the Soul Condensing Realm, you can naturally avoid these chores. ”

"Oh? Is it? Fang Yan pretended to be surprised, "In this way, senior brother should have been arranged a lot of jobs over the years, right?" ”

"Isn't it, I've been in Qingyun Peak for six years, patrolling, guarding the mountain, cleaning, planting medicinal herbs, etc., etc., and almost doing everything in the door." The senior brother sighed lightly, and actually poured bitter water towards the dialect.

Fang Yan cast a sympathetic gaze and asked quietly, "I wonder if Senior Brother has gone to the Yuanshi excavation site to supervise the excavation of Yuanshi?" ”

"Supervise the excavation of metastone?" The senior brother was stunned, shook his head and said, "I really haven't done this before." The places where the yuan stones are mined are extremely hidden, and there is a special person in charge of the door, and it is not our turn to do this kind of thing. ”

Fang Yan's face changed slightly: "Senior brother, what do you mean by the extremely hidden place where you mined the Yuan Stone?" ”

"You should also know that the Yuan Stone can be produced in the mountain range, and its vitality must be extremely rich. And there are so many mountain ranges in the world, but there are very few mountain ranges that can produce yuan stones. In order to prevent the Yuanshi Mountain Range, which they had managed to find, from being discovered by other forces, all the forces would deploy a large formation to cover up the rich vitality of this mountain range after finding such a mountain range. Then quickly recruit people to dig. Generally speaking, in order not to leak the news that this mountain range has Yuan Shi, once the mining begins, no one is allowed to leave that mountain range until the Yuan Shi of that mountain range has been completely emptied. ”

Fang Yan's heart sank, but his face was still indifferent: "So, how long does it usually take to finish mining the Yuan Stone of a mountain range?" ”

"It depends on the number of yuan stones in that mountain range, and if the amount is small, it may be mined in a few months. If the amount is large, it is not impossible to collect it for several years and decades. I don't know much about the specifics. ”

"Decades?" Fang Yan's heart trembled, and he forced a smile: "Then do you know which senior brothers are responsible for supervising the work inside the door?" ”

"I can't possibly know that."

Fang Yan frowned, and asked about the mining of the Yuan Stone. It's a pity that this senior brother can't answer. In desperation, he had no choice but to give up. Turn around and walk off into the distance.

After going around the circle, he inquired about several other people, and the results were all similar, and none of them could tell the location of the minor.

Returning to the cliff with an ugly face, Fang Yan's brows furrowed tightly. Stood silently in place, unmoved for a long time.

Judging from the information he just heard, it would be very difficult for him to rescue his father, even if he wanted to find out his father's whereabouts.

In the row of houses behind him, a door suddenly opened, and Fang Tingting walked out in good spirits. After seeing the motionless dialect standing in front of her, she was slightly stunned, and then walked over quickly.

"What are you thinking?"

Fang Yan glanced back at Fang Tingting, and after being silent for a moment, he said the news he heard from Zhang Yang and the news he had just inquired about.

After hearing these news, Fang Tingting was also silent for a moment, and then asked, "Have you thought about how to rescue Uncle Fang Lin?" Are you going to find out his whereabouts and take him with you? ”

"I did think so before I came. But after seeing the true face of Qingyun Peak, I completely dispelled this thought. Because I know it won't work. Fang Yan smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect this legendary power to be so huge and terrifying. ”

"And what are you going to do now?"

Fang Yan's face showed pain, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I originally wanted to plead with the Elder of the Gate after finding my father's whereabouts, but at the moment, it seems that this method obviously does not work. Let's take a chance to ask the elders of Qingyun Peak. ”

"If the matter of mining the Yuan Stone is really so hidden, wouldn't it be appropriate for you to ask the elders? There must be more than one or two people who dig Yuanshi, it may be hundreds of thousands. And there may be more than one batch. If there were more than a dozen batches of people who were mining Yuanshi, and those people did not have their names registered, it would probably not be easy to find out Uncle Fang Lin. Fang Tingting worried: "Besides, those who go to mine Yuanshi don't know if it's voluntary, if they are forcibly arrested, it is unlikely that they will be released." ”

Fang Yan thought for a while and said, "A big force like Qingyunfeng shouldn't do anything like buying and selling. Those who go to dig the metastone should be voluntary. ”

Fang Tingting carefully analyzed: "If they are voluntary, there will definitely be a deadline, and this period should be several years or hollowing out a mountain range before leaving." Before the deadline expires, they may not release them easily. At least, with your current status and strength, they should not bother. Not to mention asking those elders to help you find it among tens of thousands of people. ”

Fang Yan took a deep breath and looked determined: "After the entrance ceremony is held, find a reason to ask the elders before making a decision." At the very least, we'll need to get some more useful information. ”

Fang Tingting nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.

……

Two days later, in the early morning, Fang Yan and several people were woken up early, and followed the young man from before to the Qingyun Hall to hold the entrance ceremony.

After turning left and right along the bluestone roads for more than half an hour, they finally saw the magnificent Qingyun Hall not far away.

In front of the Qingyun Palace, there were already hundreds of people waiting there at this time, and when they approached some dialects, they found that those people were the young men of the Yuan Qi period who had walked up the stone stairs with them at the beginning. After the last two tests, the number of people actually dropped from nearly 3,000 at the beginning to hundreds in front of them.

The young man did not stop in front of the temple, and directly entered the temple with a few people in dialects. Behind them, followed by those teenagers with the strength of the vitality stage.

The momentum in the Qingyun Hall was magnificent, and as soon as the dialect entered, he felt an ancient and solemn aura rushing to his face, making him feel solemn and uncontrollably.

After hundreds of people stood in the hall in turn under the arrangement of the Qingyun Peak disciples, the previous Elder Zhong walked in with a serious face.

Elder Zhong saluted towards a portrait of a white-haired old man in the center of the hall before turning around and said loudly, "All the disciples kneel down and kowtow to Qingyun Senior, the founder of Qingyun Peak. ”

In the hall, all the disciples knelt down according to the words.

"From today onwards, you 598 people will officially become disciples of Qingyun Peak." After meeting the founder, Elder Zhong smiled and said to everyone, "I am the deacon elder in the sect, all the new disciples can come to me later to receive an identity token and a map, and the Yuan Qi stage disciples can also receive a Soul Condensing Pill. After entering the Soul Condensing Realm, you can also go to the Hidden Gong Pavilion to choose a set of exercises and a weapon. In addition, you can also go to the Dan Pharmacy to get some healing medicine. ”

Hearing this, all the disciples in the hall showed excited expressions on their faces. Especially those disciples in the Yuan Qi stage, they were even more overjoyed after hearing that they could receive the Soul Condensing Pill.

"Everyone, one thing I hope you know is that you don't think that joining Qingyun Peak means that you have a worry-free future. In the years to come, no one will restrain you, no one will supervise your practice, everything is based on realization. How much you can achieve in the future is up to you. Moreover, from this time onwards, if you want to receive the rewards in the door again, you must make meritorious contributions or advance to the next realm. Elder Zhong glanced at everyone and continued, "After receiving the Soul Condensing Pill, before the strength of all the Yuan Qi Stage disciples has not advanced to the late stage of the Soul Condensing Realm, you must complete some chores distributed by the sect every month. The thirteen disciples who had now advanced to the Soul Condensing Realm were not in this case. The specific reason will be explained to you by the senior brother when you receive the map and token. ”

After saying that, Elder Zhong left lightly. These new disciples were left standing on the ground and looking at each other.

That's the end of the initiation ceremony? Fang Yan looked stunned. Originally, he thought that this initiation ceremony should take a long time and be cumbersome. I didn't expect it to be dismissed in just a few words. It seems that the management of this Qingyun Peak is really lax.
