On this day, the sun was shining brightly. The four of them were lying on the Muyang Stone to rest, with the white clouds passing by in the sky. When compared with their own xinxing, the gap between the two was growing day by day.
Think again about the ultimate goal of immortal cultivators, which is to transform into an immortal body and travel between heaven and earth, how carefree it is.
Zhang Mu picked some weeds casually and held them in his mouth, seemingly doing nothing.
Although Xi'er's death hit him hard, in order to make Liu Li feel better, they both buried their sorrow in their hearts in a tacit understanding.
Behind the house is a green bamboo forest, and the green bamboos in it are all green bamboos that are hundreds of years old. Maybe it is extremely hard, so Zhang Mu used green bamboo to build his house.
But the current strength can barely cut it off. Isn't this the plan to build a green bamboo elegant room?
"Li Zi, you go buy some sandalwood and come back. Sun Xiao, you go hunt some prey, and Xiao Han and I go to chop green bamboo."
With that said, the four of them separated.
Zhang Mu and Lin Han spent a whole day cutting down the trees before they had enough to build a house.
Basically, to cut a green bamboo, Zhang Mu can use the Broken Sword Style with one sword. Lin Han needs to chop with two swords. From here, we can see the strength of the two.
Three days later, an elegant and unique green bamboo hut was built.
The layout inside is very elegant, and the turntable wooden table has been replaced by a green bamboo table and chairs. If there is a wooden table in the green bamboo house, it will obviously be a bit out of place.
"Okay, you guys chat first, I'll go out to find Su Liu and ask about the competition." After saying that, Zhang Mu got up and walked out of the Green Bamboo House.
All the disciples of the sect were walking around, and they seemed to be paying attention to the competition.
After arriving at Su Liu's place, the two chatted for a few words and then got down to business.
"Senior brother, I wonder what's different about this competition?"
"This is just an ordinary competition. Your participation is optional."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Su Liu took a sip of tea and continued: "This is to rank the disciples with different cultivation levels. It is just a false name, and of course there are material supplies."
Finally, with Su Liu's detailed explanation, I finally understood the purpose of this competition.
To put it bluntly, this competition is just a ranking, which can give you a certain degree of popularity. This also gives you the opportunity to become a good master, which is quite attractive to others, but Sui Zhang Mu is really nothing.
Thinking about Sun Xing's status, I believe it goes without saying that he understands it. The elder of Qingfeng Valley is also the only Nascent Soul stage monk besides the Valley Master.
The number of Nascent Soul Stage monks in this area of Mobei City can be counted on two hands, so they can be regarded as the overlords of the generation.
Finally, Zhang Mu chatted for a few words and returned to the Green Bamboo House.
When I came back and told Liu Li and the others, they didn't have much interest. After all, having Zhang Mu's backer was enough, so there was no need to fight for this false reputation.
"Since you don't want to participate, then just practice hard!"
Afterwards, the four of them began to practice irritably.
Three days later, in the morning, when the four of them were planning to practice, one of them flew toward the Green Bamboo House with a sword.
"Muzi, do you think it's Li Xiu?" Liu Li pointed at the man holding the sword.
Zhang Mu heard this and smiled: "It's him."
As he said that, Li Xiu landed firmly on the ground, his face still full of justice. If you were not familiar with him, you might have been fooled by his appearance.
Zhang Mu also gradually became familiar with this half-baked master. Although he didn't help him much in his cultivation, he did help a lot here and there, for which he was quite grateful.
"Brother, you are here."
Li Xiu smiled and said: "Yes, I have reached the peak in the early stage of Qi refining."
"It's okay! Isn't this all because of your good teaching?"
Li Xiu said angrily: "Don't give me poverty!"
"Hey...brother, what's the matter with you?"
Having said this, Li Xiuxiu said seductively: "Yes, I came here this time to take you on a sect mission."
"Are there any spiritual stones to earn?"
Li Xiu smiled and shook his head, saying: "Of course, this is the task I took over, so I won't make it easier for you guys."
"Are you going then?"
"Go, but I am just assisting in secret. If the opponent has no interested cultivators, I won't have to take action." Then, Li Xiu also introduced the mission.
It turns out that this is a secular battle between Mobei City and Dragon City. This is not a battle for immortal cultivators. Although there are such regulations in the world of immortal cultivators, no one abides by them in such a small place.
In the past, the two cities often launched wars, and most of them were joined by the immortal cultivators. In the end, it was often a duel between the immortal cultivators, and it was also a competition to prove that the immortal cultivating skills of the other side were more powerful.
Basically, it is enough for each sect to send four disciples, and with a monk in the foundation-building stage leading it, it can be considered a big battle.
For example, Mobei City has three forces: Qingyi Gate, Qingfeng Valley, and Fuling Gate.
There are three sects in Dragon Seizing City, namely the Weng family of the demon clan, the giant sword sect, and the ghost control sect.
Basically, except for Weng, the rest are ranked. If you really compare, it can be regarded as half equal to half east and west.
Although Qingfenggu and Fulingmen in Mobei City are ranked behind, Qingyimen can resist the Weng family. Therefore, if we really want to distinguish between them, there is really no accurate information.
As for why the Weng family was not included, it is because they are not a sect, but a mysterious family. Legend has it that they are the descendants of the demon clan, and in short, no one dares to offend them.
This time, Li Xiu led the team to Qingfeng Valley in Mobei City, and the four of them went there. There is no news about Qingyi Gate and Fuling Gate yet, and they can only be revealed when they get there.
After sending Li Xiu away, the four of them simply packed up. The next day, Li Xiu took them down to Qingfeng Valley.
The bird spirit beast vulture rented and sold by Li Xiu flew very fast and arrived in Mobei City in less than an hour.
Follow Li Xiu into Mobei City and walk straight towards Yun Mansion.
Yun Mansion is the gathering place for cultivating immortals in Mobei City, but in the end it is not as good as the Weng Family. It is a completely scattered strength and basically cannot be reused.
After arriving at Yun Mansion, I saw a majestic building standing in the middle of Mobei City. It was indescribably luxurious. I really didn’t know that if I had the time to build it, I might as well expand more troops.
When he arrived at the gate of Yun Mansion, he saw the army lined up, apparently coming to greet him.
I saw an old man in gray clothes embroidering with a smile. When I saw Li Xiu, he cupped his hands and said, "I didn't know that Junior Brother Li from Qingfeng Valley is here. I hope to atone for my sins."
Li Xiu smiled and said: "There, Senior Brother Gu is being polite."
"Haha, I didn't expect that Junior Brother Li would come this time. I'm really flattered!"
"I'm really embarrassed about Li."
"I wonder if the tutor is good?"
Hearing this, Zhang Mu also understood. There is nothing scary about Li Xiu. What is scary is that he has a master at the Nascent Soul stage, so someone named Gu should give him some face, right?
Of course, Li Xiu also knew that the two of them were just pretending and making excuses at this time, and no one would point it out.
"My master is in good health and is about to reach the high stage of Nascent Soul."
"Oh, that's very good. This way I, Mobei, will be even more powerful." The man surnamed Gu smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say any more. Junior Brother Li will come in and invite me."
"Senior Brother Gu, don't you know that the other two sects are coming?"
"The team led by Song Zhe from Fu Lingmen has just arrived."
Li Xiu sneered: "So the Tsing Yi Sect is showing off its power again?"
The monk surnamed Gu said: "Ah... The big sign on the Qingyi Gate is a bit pretentious. There is no need for you and me to say more. Tea is served inside."
Just then, an arrogant voice came: "I didn't expect you to lead the team."
After hearing this, Li Xiu looked very unhappy, but he still turned around and said softly: "Who is it? It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhou."
After Zhang Mu met, he could also see that the two were unfriendly, but it was better for him not to get involved in the matter.
The monk surnamed Gu quickly interrupted: "Haha, I didn't expect Junior Brother Zhou to be here. Well, let's discuss it inside." With that, he started driving ahead.
After watching the monk surnamed Zhou from the Tsing Yi Gate enter, Li Xiu snorted coldly, obviously not having a good impression of him.
"Brother, do you know him?"
Li Xiu breathed out: "More than just knowing him, I lost to him in our sect competition seven years ago."
"Okay, let's go in." With that said, Li Xiu walked in with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Mu looked at Liu Lida with a grin and said, "It seems we don't have the advantage!"
"Muzi, let's not worry too much about this. This time our priority is to earn spiritual stones, and we should do less with other things."
"I know, let's go."
After entering, Zhang Mu separated from Li Xiu. After all, this was not something he could enter at his level, so he had to go to the private room to wait.
Three hours later, I heard the door being pushed open, and Li Xiu walked in with an angry face.
Zhang Mu and the four others stood up quickly, watched him sit down, and then asked: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Li Xiu slapped the table and cursed angrily: "Damn, Zhou Yi is really bullying people this time!"
Seeing this, Zhang Mu and the other four couldn't help but grin. What's going on? Is it possible that there can still be a fight here?
After listening to Li Xiu's words, I understood the reason.
It turns out that in every battle between the two cities, the vanguard would be sent to fight. In previous years, it would be Qingfeng Valley or Fulingmen.
The last time Qingfeng Valley played, but this time for some unknown reason, Zhou Yi actually got along with the people from Fuling Sect and directly asked Li Xiu to lead the team as the forward.
This striker sounds pretty good, but everyone knows the shortcomings of forwards.
The merit of this battle lies in the number of enemies killed. Of course, the secular army is not included in the number. The number can only be based on the disciples of the rival sects.
But forwards are basically a thankless job. When the two sides fight, no matter which side has the advantage, the remaining sects will participate. In this way, isn't it working hard for them?
After listening to Li Xiu's words, Zhang Mu touched his forehead and sighed. Although he was a time traveler, he didn't understand anything about this kind of battle, let alone express his ideas.
At this moment, Liu Li opened the folding fan and said with a smile: "Brother Li, I think this striker is not necessarily bad."
Hearing this, Li Xiu looked at Liu Li and said doubtfully: "Oh, how do you say it?"
"Do you think that in the past, the strikers had to go to the front, often selling half of their strength to make wedding dresses for them?"
Li Xiu nodded and said that was the case, looking at Liu Li without saying anything.
"In this case, why don't we go forward happily and give him a defeat?"
After listening to Liu Li's words, Li Xiu waved his hands and said: "This method won't work. You are not the only one who can think of this method. It has been used before. Do you know the final result? It would be the annihilation of the entire army!"
