Chapter 53: Ah Li Descends the Mountain
On December 12, Tianhuo rushed to Dangtu, Li Mao returned to Jiming Temple, and Ah Li and Tu Shanchong also quietly left Xuanyuan Tomb.
There is a very long distance from the Heavenly Demon Forest to Jinling, the capital of the Song Kingdom, and even with the cultivation of a Jindan period monk, it would take nearly a month to reach it by flying at full speed every day.
After the Battle of the Top 100 Demon Clans, the Heavenly Demon Forest immediately communicated with the Great Luo Sect of the Song State Protector God Sect, and implored the Song Kingdom to delineate a route for the winning students of the Top 100 Demon Clan to go to Taiyi Academy.
A Jindan period monk is an insignificant existence for the cultivation realm of the two countries, but the symbolic significance of this matter itself is far greater than the practical significance, this exchange and study of students will help deepen understanding and trust between the Heavenly Demon Forest and the Song Kingdom, and lay the foundation for future cooperation, so neither side dares to act rashly.
Ah Li's trip must be approved by the Song State official before she can enter the country, and the Song State official cannot allow her to fly in the Song State in the form of a free trip, and her every move must be under the supervision of the Song State official.
The representatives of the Heavenly Demon Forest and the representatives of the Song Kingdom held two meetings in Ping'anfang and Tianqian respectively, and it took more than two months before they set the route of Ah Li's journey.
At the request of Xuanyuan Tomb, a station of Xuanji Mountain was added, and other routes were the routes with the least disturbance to the town and the shortest distance, in addition, the Song State required that Ah Li must fly according to the route on the way, and all 22 footholds on the way must be signed in to ensure safety.
Tu Shanchong was allowed to accompany Ah Li as his bodyguard, and during the Song Dynasty, Tu Shanchong's behavior was supervised by the Daluo faction, which was declared to be exchange and learning.
Xuanyuan Tomb had protested against such a strict request from the Song Kingdom, but the Heavenly Demon Forest Elders rejected their protests, believing that this trip would be conducive to the improvement of the relationship between the Heavenly Demon Forest and the Song Kingdom, and it was not appropriate to make more demands.
Xuanyuan Tomb could only reluctantly accept this result, because Tu Shanchong and Ah Li were both the future hope of Xuanyuan Tomb, and in order to ensure the safety of Ah Li and Tu Shanchong's trip to the Song Kingdom, Xuanyuan Tomb took great pains.
Xuanyuan Tomb is equipped with the best spatial magic weapons for the two of them, and has prepared all kinds of cultivation resources needed for ten years, involving all aspects of food and clothing, and the elixir and magic weapons are the top refining in Xuanyuan Tomb.
Because both of them hold three high-grade spiritual weapons, it is not appropriate to equip them with more spiritual weapons, Xuanyuan Tomb specially prepared a life talisman for each of them, which is said to be able to block the peak of the cave void period with all their strength, which is also the second of the few life talismans of the same level in Xuanyuan Tomb.
In addition to going to the Song Kingdom to study and exchange, Ah Li also undertook the mission of strengthening diplomatic relations between the two countries, so the Heavenly Demon Forest specially sent three gifts and entrusted Ah Li to bring them to the Song Emperor, Empress and Da Luo Sect respectively.
After a long period of negotiation and preparation, it was finally time to set off, and the day before departure, the seven elders of Xuanyuan Tomb summoned Ah Li and Tu Shanchong together.
On behalf of the clan elders, the Great Ancestor of the Fox Clan congratulated the two of them on becoming the first batch of demon cultivators to study in the Terran in the Heavenly Demon Forest, and reminded the two of them that this trip to the Song Kingdom was of great significance, Ah Li represented the Heavenly Demon Forest, and Tu Shanchong represented the Xuanyuan Tomb.
These clichΓ©s are not mentioned for the first time, Ah Li has received at least dozens of education in the past two months, and Tu Shanchong decided to travel later, so there are also more than a dozen educations, and the two of them dare not refute it, so they can only respond frequently.
Seeing that the two of them were obedient, this time the Great Ancestor of the Fox Clan didn't say much, and changed the topic: "The two of you went to the Song Kingdom this time, in addition to the gifts from the Heavenly Demon Forest, the clan also prepared four gifts, and you brought them to the Empress of the Song Kingdom, the Dean of the Taiyi Academy, the head of the Daluo Sect and Xuanjizi.
There is another batch of alchemy raw materials to be brought to Xuanjizi, and we need Xuanjizi to help refine a batch of high-grade pills in order to carry out the second phase of the Zhongxing plan.
After a while, you go to the inner warehouse to collect it, this batch of alchemy raw materials is large in quantity and extremely valuable, you should be extra careful along the way and carry them separately to avoid accidents. β
Ah Li and Tu Shanchong knew that there was a lot at stake, so they naturally didn't dare to be careless.
After the Fox Clan's Great Ancestor finished speaking, he looked at the Second Ancestor of the Fox Clan, and the Second Ancestor hesitated for a moment and said: "Chong'er, Ah Li, you two have arrived in Jinling, you may have to live there for a long time, if you encounter a big crisis that you can't solve, you can turn to the Empress of the Song Kingdom for help." β
Ah Li and Tu Shanchong were a little stunned, and Tu Shanchong asked, "Ancestor, does the Empress of the Song Kingdom have anything to do with our Xuanyuan Tomb?"
The Second Ancestor was silent for a moment and said, "This matter is very important, you don't need to know the inside story. Remember, don't bother the Empress of Song unless it's a matter of life and death. β
Ah Li and Tu Shanchong went to the inner library in confusion, and after receiving the gifts and alchemy raw materials, they went back to pack their things.
Early the next morning, Ah Li and Tu Shan did not alarm too many people when they rushed down Qiaoshan, and only Tu Shan Ziyi, Ji Yun'er, Yuguan and Hu Chunqiu came to see them off.
Ah Li wore plain white clothes today, the curtain fence above her head was sewn for her by Tu Shan Ziyi, Ah Li looked very energetic under the white clothes, only Tu Shan Ziyi knew that this little girl who didn't like to be in shape on weekdays couldn't fall asleep last night because of excitement, and pulled her to ask countless questions about Xuanji Mountain, and she didn't fall asleep with satisfaction until Yin Shi.
Tu Shanchong looked a little sluggish, he wore a navy blue Terran warrior suit today, he didn't sleep well yesterday, and he was struggling all night with what image to appear in front of the Terran, in order to show his handsomeness and extraordinary, and finally Tu Shanchong chose a Terran scribe suit, and the white-clothed Xiushi was suave!
Before going out, Tu Shan suddenly remembered that there were still escorts from Xuanyuan Tomb to Tianmoan, including his bad friends, so frightened that he hurriedly changed into an ordinary samurai costume.
Everyone sent the two of them to the protective array, Ji Yun'er was a little sad and said: "Brother Chong, Ah Li, we can only send it here, I envy you that you can go to the Song Kingdom for further study, and we can only continue to suffer in the Xuanyuan Tomb, the tomb of the living dead."
I really want to see the outside world, especially the territory of the human race, where our ancestors came from, and if I don't see it with my own eyes, I will have regrets in this life. β
Tu Shan Ziyi reminded: "Yun'er, don't talk nonsense, if the other elders hear what you said just now, you will have to clean the main altar for at least three months." β
Ji Yun'er looked left and right, stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly: "Aunt Ziyi, there are no outsiders here, I respect you as if I were my own aunt, you can't betray me." β
Tu Shan Ziyi tapped Ji Yun'er's forehead with his fingers, and did not punish her.
Tu Shan said: "Yun'er, don't feel sorry for yourself, this time Ah and I left the Song Kingdom, it is estimated that it will not be too smooth, in order to set a route, we have tossed for more than two months, and both sides have sent experts to protect along the way, how dangerous do you say it is?"
The three of you will be comfortable, stay at home safely, and no one will compete with you for cultivation resources in ten years, maybe your cultivation speed will be much faster than me and Ah Li in the past ten years.
But it doesn't matter, we are all outstanding children of Xuanyuan Tomb, and the future of Xuanyuan Tomb needs a few of us to work together, let's work together. β
Yuguan said to Ah Li: "Ah Li, you are careful all the way, pay attention to safety, you have to be a little more enthusiastic about people when you get to Taiyi Academy, there is not Xuanyuan Tomb, you are not familiar with life, and no one will let you, after all, there are many friends and many roads, you are too high and will be rejected and bullied by others." β
Ah Li smiled lightly and said, "Thank you Senior Brother Yuguan for reminding me, I will take care of myself." Yun'er, Chunqiu, you two should also take care. β
Hu Chunqiu clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Chong, Ah Li, you have to redouble your efforts when you go to the human race, don't fall into the name of our demon cultivator, and don't be attracted by the human race's flower world and delay your cultivation."
I decided to hit the Yuan Infant Stage on New Year's Day, and I hope that when you return to Xuanyuan Tomb, you will not be surpassed by me too much. β
Everyone asked in surprise: "Spring and Autumn, why are you in such a hurry to advance, aren't you going to consolidate your cultivation again?"
Hu Chunqiu shook his head and said: "I am not as talented as you, except for Brother Chong, I am the oldest here, and it doesn't make much sense to boil up in the Jindan period, I only have one talent is speed, and only by constantly improving the realm can I increase the upper limit of my speed, so I will wait for you in the Yuan Infant Stage first." β
Hu Chunqiu was unknown before the Demon Clan's Top 100 Battle, but this year, under the careful cultivation of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, he participated in the Demon Clan's Top 100 Battle, and his strength and self-confidence have been significantly improved.
He is no longer the obscure Jindan disciple of the year, he is also one of the Tianjiao disciples of Xuanyuan Tomb, and he works so hard that he also arouses the fighting spirit of Ji Yun'er and Yuguan.
Ji Yun'er said: "What Spring and Autumn said is reasonable, I am also tired of the accumulation of the Jindan period, and I have long wanted to advance to the Yuan Infant Stage." Spring and autumn, I will also break through in the near future, and I won't give you a chance to bully me.
Ah Li, Taiyi Academy strictly restricts students from advancing to the Yuan Infant Stage, otherwise they will be forced to graduate, so several of us will advance before you, I hope you won't be too far behind by us, hehe. β
Ah Li said: "I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to cultivate the Xuanyuan Battle Method to the peak of the Jindan Stage in the Taiyi Academy, and then break through the Yuan Infant Stage with the Fox Clan's Exercises." β
Yuguan applauded and said: "Ah Li has good ambitions, I hope you can break through the two exercises at the same time as soon as possible, and I must have a serious competition with you at that time." β
Hu Chunqiu said: "Count me in, I always want people to know who is the first master of Xuanyuan Tomb in the future Yuan Infant Period, right?"
Ji Yun'er stretched out her hand: "Well, why don't we have a ten-year appointment, do you all dare to come?"
"I'm coming!"
"I'm coming!"
Yuguan and Hu Chunqiu immediately put their hands together, Ah Li also smiled and stretched out his hand, and finally Tu Shanchong also came to join in the fun.
Ji Yun'er said coquettishly: "Brother Chong, in ten years, you will already be in the god transformation stage, what are you doing with us?"
After Ah Li and Tu Shan rushed out of Qiaoshan, they quickly joined up with the special forces sent by the Heavenly Demon Forest to protect the two of them to the Heavenly Trench, most of them were the top 100 demon cultivators in the Yuan Infant Stage, and some of them had already broken through to the Transformation Stage, and this time they were responsible for the protection of Ah Li and the two of them before the Heavenly Trench.
Only under their protection and monitoring could Ah Li and Tu Shanchong maintain a high-speed flight in the Heavenly Demon Forest, saving time to go to the Heavenly Moat.
The two sides exchanged a few words, and soon everyone flew into the air, turned into a small dot in the sky, and disappeared.
