"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and say, what did you do in the Terran Continent after I lured that soft earth dragon away? Did you go check the return stone? ”

Xiao Hua didn't want to discuss this issue with Huang Ming again.

"Of course I checked, I've already found out what the Return Stone is, you know?" , Huang Ming asked rhetorically.

"Guwu Totem, the most primitive one, but it has disappeared", Xiao Hua also knew about this.

"You know that, too? Did you find it? Not in the Orc Continent? ”

Xiao Hua shook his head: "I haven't had time to investigate in a hurry, but this matter is not in a hurry, wait for the beast tide to pass and then look for it slowly."

"That's right, it's the right thing to clear the foreign forces of the Brute Beast Continent first," Huang Ming agreed.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up, what are you doing after I'm gone?" , Xiao Hua continued to ask.

"Well, here's the thing, that day you put the soft earth dragon ......"

Huang Ming then lured Xiao Hua away from the soft earth dragon, followed Emma back to see her father, and told Xiao Hua everything that happened after that.

It turned out that since Huang Ming was rescued by the old man of the Red Maple Valley who was in the middle of the Twelve Apertures in the valley where the Black Departure Realm and the Great Xia Realm were at the junction, he worshipped that old man as his teacher and followed the old man back to the Red Maple Valley in Great Xia.

Red Maple Valley is one of the six major immortal cultivation sects in the Great Xia Realm, and also one of the two great body refining sects in the Great Xia Realm, located in the southeast of the Terran Continent, adjacent to the territory of the Red Water Flow of the Black Departure Realm Immortal Cultivation Sect.

The territory of Red Maple Valley is very large, in addition to the main city called Red Maple City, there are many small mortal towns in the territory that are managed by Wu Xiu.

Unlike Emma and the Silver Castle, the sect of Red Maple Valley is not in the main city, but is somewhat similar to the Nalan people, and its immortal cultivation sect is located in a mountain range called "Hongluan Mountain" near the main city.

Huang Ming followed the old man to a nearby small city called "Chenggong", and used the teleportation array they set up in the city's merchants to transmit to Red Maple City.

Later, they used the teleportation array of Red Maple City to spread to a valley full of red maple trees in the Red Mountain Range, which was where their sect was located, and it was from this that Red Maple Valley got its name.

Out of the teleportation array, Huang Ming followed the old man to the sect hall located in the middle of the Red Maple Valley, and this sect hall is really a Chinese-style building, and it is very atmospheric and luxurious.

The eight-character powder wall welcomes guests, the left and right rows of copper rings on the door, the jade hexagram of the carved eaves of the green tile, the pine and cypress of the acacia are overlapping, the elegant seat of the inner hall is inlaid with red gold, the dragon and phoenix banner jade hand-cut, the curtain tent hangs the hook and swallows the half moon, the bronze horse and the iron ride stand the dust, the sandalwood sprays incense smoke, and the color door opens in the sound of drums, I don't know, I think this is the palace.

The head of Red Maple Valley and the other five elders were already waiting in the hall, they also had a teleportation card similar to that of the Nalan people, and the old man had already told them about his encounter with Huang Ming and his intention to accept Huang Ming as a disciple.

However, the head of Red Maple Valley and these elders all came, not because Huang Ming wanted to apprentice, Huang Ming and the old man didn't have that much face, and the old man was just the third elder of Red Maple Valley.

The reason why they came was because the old man said that Huang Ming was a self-taught casual cultivator, and he had also created a set of exercises that allowed martial cultivators to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, so these old men were very curious.

So after meeting the head of Red Maple Valley and these elders, Huang Ming handed over the "Qi Refining Heart Decision".

These old men didn't say much, and the jade slips who took over "Qi Refining Heart Decision" looked at them one by one, and all of them were full of surprise for a while and frowned for a while, and they watched it for more than two hours before they remembered Huang Ming.

"Well, Elder Void is right, you are really a talent, you can create your own exercises without having to comprehend the ancient martial arts totem, and there are some subtle mysteries, not bad", the head of Red Maple Valley spoke.

The head of Red Maple Valley is also an old man, but this old man has no hair, is a bald head, about eight feet tall, arms and feet have three stops, a head like a bucket, eyes like copper bells, and a lion's nose is lined with a square mouth.

Wearing a gray cloth robe with a white satin collar and red silk trimming, a yellow silk ribbon tied around the waist, sagging knee-length swinging in the wind, pedaling navy blue open cloth shoes on both noses, high-waisted cloud socks, knee-deep, and a string of prayer beads made of one hundred and eight Bodhi strung around his neck, swaying from side to side with his body.

This made Huang Ming a little surprised, why did this old man hang a rosary? Could it be that he is a monk?

Just when Huang Ming was a little curious and didn't know how to answer, the old man who brought him here spoke.

"Senior Brother in charge is right, this Huang Ming is indeed a rare talent, so I think it's a good thing to let him join our Red Maple Valley, and I am also willing to accept him as a disciple of my Foreign Affairs Hall."

"Okay, then let him worship you as a teacher and join my Foreign Affairs Hall in Red Maple Valley", the head agreed.

After that, Huang Ming officially apprenticed, and under the witness of the head and other elders, Huang Ming knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowed to this old man called Empty Phase, and then became a disciple of the Red Maple Valley Foreign Affairs Hall.

After apprenticeship, another elder gave him an identity card, with this identity card, Huang Ming can enter and leave freely in the Red Maple Valley, of course, he will definitely not be able to go to those places in the valley that are otherwise prohibited, and he has to apply alone.

After that, Huang Ming followed his Void Phase Master out of the sect hall and returned to the Foreign Affairs Hall under the control of his master, that is, the three elders of the Red Maple Valley

The Foreign Affairs Hall is a hall in the Red Maple Valley, mainly responsible for docking with the affairs of other sects, as well as the management of the mortal towns in its own territory, and the hall is located in Changlong Mountain, not far from the Red Maple Valley.

After returning to the Foreign Affairs Hall, Huang Ming's master, the third elder named Void Phase, arranged a cultivation cave for Huang Ming, and also gave him a cultivation exercise called "Enlightenment and Refinement".

This "Enlightenment and Body Refining" is a compulsory practice for all disciples of Red Maple Valley, and it is also a unique body refining method in Red Maple Valley, although Huang Ming can no longer use it, but to become a disciple of Red Maple Valley, he naturally has to have a share.

After that, the old man took out his elder token again, saying that Huang Ming's alchemy was already in the late stage of the Six Tricks, and he had nothing to teach, so he asked Huang Ming to take his token to the "Hidden Scripture Pavilion" to pick a minor exercise by himself.

Huang Ming was very surprised, he originally just wanted to find a big tree to enjoy the shade, but he didn't expect that there were still exercises to learn, so Huang Ming took the token and ran to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion in Red Maple Valley to pick up exercises.

After inspecting the token at the Scripture Pavilion, the guard put him in, but the guard gave him a special explanation.

It is said that there are five floors in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the first and second floors are martial arts exercises, and the others are immortal cultivation exercises, but only twelve monks can go to the fifth floor, and Huang Ming is in the late stage of six skills, and the highest can only go to the fourth floor.

Huang Ming nodded, but he didn't think so, although his "Prison Ming King Decision" is only the first half of the volume, but the first half of the book is already equivalent to the transformation period, so it doesn't matter if he goes to the fifth floor or not, he is here to try his luck.

The scripture pavilion in the Red Maple Valley is very large, built like a yellow crane tower, and there are many bookshelves on each floor, and the bookshelves are also full of exercise books.

Huang Ming, just like Xiao Hua just entered the Tibetan Gong Pagoda of the Nalan people, also started to visit from the first floor.

The first layer is the martial arts exercises, and each bookshelf has several originals of exercises made of animal skins, which originally had a forbidden light mask, but there are also five copies of the exercises made of paper next to them, and there are no prohibitions on the copies.
