When leaving Taoyuan Village, Wang Lu was the only one left in the village, truly alone.

Walking out of the village chief's backyard and looking at the empty village, Wang Lu fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a while, he was patted on the back, and the shadow smiled.

"What are you thinking about? The deadline for the mission in Taoyuan Village has arrived. Those who are impossible to pass have been kicked away long ago - it is impossible for the Spirit Sword Sect to support them for a lifetime. And since the mission is over, the others will not continue to exist.

It’s necessary—maintaining the formation also costs money.”

Facing Wang Lu's surprised gaze, Heiying explained in an understatement.

"You're lucky. You barely made it in time. If you're even one stick of incense later, I'll have to kick you out."

Wang Lu asked curiously: "Are you a senior fellow from the Spirit Sword Sect?"

The black shadow did not answer, but said to himself: "You have passed the Taoyuan Village level. As your witness, I will take you to the next level. Come with me."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the village, and Wang Lu quickly followed. As for the luggage and snacks in the house, he really couldn't care less.

The black shadow was far ahead in the front, and his pace seemed to be slow but it was urgent. After a while, he left the village and went deep into the mountains. This mountainous area was an unsolvable maze before the end of the Taoyuan Village mission. No matter how he walked, he would eventually return to

Taoyuan Village is the starting point, but the dark shadow only left for a short time, and then things became dark and clear.

Wang Lu followed desperately, and soon he was out of breath. Although he had countless questions in his heart, he was speechless.

Heiying seemed to be doing this intentionally. While dragging Wang Lu for a long run, he said: "After Taoyuan Village is over, rewards will be given based on the completion status. You seem to have guessed this, so I won't say more. But I will choose the rewards later.

Remember to be more careful, the later levels are not that easy, the Spirit Sword Sect has not recruited qualified talents through the Immortal Ascension Conference for hundreds of years..."

At this point, the black shadow suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Come on, I really look forward to seeing you on the mountain."

After saying that, the black shadow disappeared with a whoosh, and behind the black shadow, a narrow gap was revealed between the mountain walls.

Wang Lu measured himself in front of the gap. Fortunately, he was of average height, and he didn't have time to eat before setting off, so he could barely squeeze in.

The gap was narrow in front and wide in the back. After a while, it suddenly opened up, revealing a spacious cave. The cave was hidden deep in the mountain. A gap above the cave cast dappled sunlight, illuminating the scene inside.

Using the sunlight, Wang Lu looked around the cave several times and shook his head with a smile.

Compared to Taoyuan Village's design, which was flawed but full of sincerity, this cave seemed quite inferior - in the middle of the cave, there was a wooden box placed neatly, with a blank sign beside it.

Thinking about it, this is the mission reward of Taoyuan Village. Wang Lu used a wave of tactics to conquer the almost impossible hidden mission. Theoretically, the reward level will be unbelievable. Although this wooden box looks tattered, the level of the treasure inside

There should be no doubt about it - unless the Spirit Sword Sect is completely shameless and uses some nonsense excuse like data overflow to show off.

Just as I was thinking about it, an additional word suddenly appeared on the blank sign: "Mission Status Statistics:"

"Number of players: one hundred and twenty"

"Total number of favorability points: 10,020"

"Average favorability: one hundred"

"Mission Critical: You Can't Complete the Series."

"Mission completion: 100"

"Comprehensive points:..."

The number of the last item is difficult to see clearly due to the limited area of ​​the wooden sign and there are too many words crowded together. It is small and dense, but it is an astronomical number when you think about it.

The clearance and settlement of Taoyuan Village should be carried out independently according to the rules set by the designer, but the designer probably did not expect that there would be a trouble-making adventurer like Wang Lu... But in short, it is great that there is no data overflow.

.

After the comprehensive score was given, the wooden sign sank into the ground with a roar, while the wooden box next to it simmered for a while, occasionally shaking gently twice, making an imaginative sound.

After burning the incense, the wooden box opened by itself, and the contents inside poured out like a blowout, and for a time it was colorful and dazzling.

——

Above the clouds, a black and white disciple who had been captured to stare at the changes in the clouds finally couldn't help but feel lonely and took a long stretch.

"Alas, this Immortal Ascension Conference will probably be in vain."

A black and white disciple who looked much younger next to him asked curiously: "Brother, why do you say that? I saw a few of the top ones, and they are making pretty good progress."

The elder Black and White sneered: "What a good progress? I wasted so much time in front of the penultimate spirit. Finally, I guard the spirit at the bottom of the pass. I think except for Hai Yunfan, there is still one or two points of hope. Others don't want it."

Think about it."

Young Black and White was even more surprised: "I remember that the strongest spirits in Redridge Mountain, Icewind Valley, Qingyun Peak, and Netherworld Road are between the first, sixth, and seventh levels. They are not easy for mortals to deal with, but they should be.

It can’t be difficult for them, after all, they all received rewards from Taoyuan Village, and there are indeed a few people with amazing qualifications.”

The elder Hei Bai patted his junior brother on the shoulder: "Junior brother, you are still too young. No one in our sect has been able to complete the road to immortality for hundreds of years. This shocking record makes other sects laugh at Da Feng's record.

Do you think you can do it with just a few first-level, sixth- and seventh-level spirits in the mountain path? So far, you and I have other senior brothers, aren’t they all accepted by master and uncles when they traveled around? To be honest, junior brother

Although your qualifications and temperament are top-notch, even better than mine, senior brother, but if you are asked to walk on this road once, you will not be able to reach the end."

The junior brother was obviously a little unconvinced, but didn't say anything.

The senior brother patted him on the shoulder again: "Haha, if you don't believe it, then keep reading. Well, the one named Hai Yunfan seems to be not far from the last level."

——

Hai Yunfan walking on the Netherworld Road is indeed not far from the end.

It had been more than two weeks since he left Taoyuan Village, and he had finally penetrated this Ice Wind Valley Road. However, after traveling a hundred miles, Hai Yunfan not only did not relax, but instead took extra care.

Because he knew very well what was waiting for him behind. The road to immortality that no one in the Spirit Sword Sect had been able to clear for hundreds of years, how could he easily walk it to the end? He was not a born monster like Wang Lu.

, Hai Yunfan is very clear about his own balance.

A third-grade aptitude, a second-grade temperament, a first-grade understanding... and a super-grade balancing ability, these are Hai Yunfan's only strengths that he considers worth relying on.

The reason for leaving early in Taoyuan Village was because of trade-offs. Leaving early will indeed result in a loss of mission completion, but the first one to leave will most likely receive additional rewards.

After careful consideration, Hai Yunfan made a judgment, and at the beginning of the Frozen Valley, he realized that he had made the right bet.

The reward is very simple. During the trial of the Road to Immortality, you have unlimited physical strength. By the way, it also comes with a seventh-grade magic weapon - the little straw man with a lowered head, which can greatly weaken the enemy. It can be used only three times.

The road to Icewind Dale is really difficult. Not only does it have the natural rejection of those with insufficient qualifications like the Golden Bridge of Immortality, but illusions are everywhere, and they are as good at confusing people as the cloud waves. The trialists may encounter all kinds of things.

Some situations need to be avoided wisely, while others need to be faced bravely.

This is an all-round test for the tester. No matter how amazing a genius you are, if you are deficient in any quality, you may be stopped midway, and among them, the most important quality... happens to be

The ability to weigh and judge.

When you are not advancing, when you are not retreating, you can only use four or five points of your extraordinary ability. This is not feasible on the road to immortality, and Hai Yunfan happens to be good at weighing and judging, plus a bit of luck... Bing

He passed through more than ten difficulties in the Valley of the Wind, which can be called a natural chasm, without even using the little straw man.

Of course, this was done deliberately... I had been in danger several times before, and was even almost cornered by a passing spirit once, but the little straw man was always pinned to the bottom of the box by him.

Because if you want to pass the final test, you must preserve precious resources. Others don't know, but Hai Yunfan knows that whether it is Icewind Valley or Redridge Mountain... a powerful spirit will be arranged as a guard in the end.

, then how powerful are the spirits?

It has reached a point where no one has been able to do it for hundreds of years.

Fortunately, the Spirit Sword Sect has arranged a Taoyuan Village on the road to immortality this time. Through mission rewards, it can somewhat strengthen the strength of the trialists. For example, this little grass man with a fallen head, if three times of weakness are superimposed... maybe...

Hopefully it will pass.

With this in mind, Hai Yunfan walked into the last canyon of Icewind Valley. The valley road was long and winding. Hai Yunfan patiently kept his nerves tight until he passed a corner and finally saw the spirit guarding the gate.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Hai Yunfan frowned and fell into deep thought.

Weird, what kind of spirit is this big guy who is ten feet long, covered in ice, and looks a bit like a southern barbarian elephant? He is also considered to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and the "Cangxi Spirit" has been passed down to the world by the world of immortality.

I have read the Chronicles several times, and the first and second level spirits introduced in it are already familiar to me, but at this time, I don't remember seeing this species.

——

"To be honest, I have always suspected that the ancestors of our sect made a mistake."

Above the clouds, the elder Black and White carefully spread the gossip.

The young junior brother asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"I suspect that when they were designing the road to ascend to immortality, they accidentally wrote the wrong word in the rules of the last level. The monster guarding the level was supposed to be level 2 and level 9, but in the end, it was written as level 3 and level 9. There is a one-word difference.

,No, it’s just a stroke of difference!”

When he heard the term third-level and ninth-level, the junior brother couldn't help but exclaimed: "A third-level spirit? Even if it is only ninth-level, isn't it a monk who is close to the foundation building stage?!"

As a result, the senior brother corrected him very seriously: "That was the foundation building period of ordinary sects. If it were our Spirit Sword Sect, the first and second level cultivation in the Qi training period would be enough to deal with the lower level third level spirits."

The junior brother said feebly: "You have to be at the first or second level of Qi training. How are you going to deal with a group of people who haven't started practicing yet? Even if they have a family heirloom magic weapon, it will be difficult."

The senior brother spread his hands very irresponsibly: "Who knows, that's why no one has been able to get through it for hundreds of years. Level three monsters, tsk tsk tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, the difference of one level, the difficulty is probably ten times higher, and the level 3

Ninth-grade is just the lowest limit, and it is not unusual to encounter goods of seventh or eighth-grade. This time Hai Yunfan was lucky and happened to meet ninth-grade... That's why I said, except for Hai Yunfan, who can have one or two points of hope, the others

Just stop thinking about it."

Just as he was talking, there were waves in the clouds again. The senior brother glanced out of the corner of his eye and his eyebrows suddenly danced.

"Oh, it's begun!"

The junior brother hurriedly came over: "Ah, what a decisive reaction, I used the Straw Man as soon as I came up! Use it three times in a row!"
To be continued...
