Soul travels through the world of immortality

The Shadow City Mountain Range is shrouded in clouds and mist, with undulating mountains. Most of the villages around the mountain range are ancient buildings that have not been destroyed. For monsters who crave peace and quiet, the movie theater is undoubtedly an ideal place to live.

Shadow Lake is located to the west of the Shadow City Mountains, encompassing all the weather of the Shadow City Mountains. It is humid, foggy, lush with vegetation, and shrouded in clouds and mists all year round, creating a swamp where giant green scorpions, crocodile monsters and other monsters live and come out from time to time. Predation makes the monsters who have lived in the shadows for a long time feel shuddering.

There is always thick fog in the middle of the swamp, and some strange sights can always be seen in the fog.

In addition to monsters, there are also many strange plants in the swamp. Plants such as bed bug mushrooms and blood tree vines all live in this water area. Bedbug mushrooms grow in the shape of mushrooms, emit a foul odor, and are also highly poisonous plants. Blood tree vines grow along the water, and will tightly wrap around the monster's body, making it unable to move, and turn into nutrients for the tree vines.

The shadow is full of monster colors, and few monsters survive here. Entering it, you must always be vigilant to avoid becoming a meal for large creatures. This place is also full of opportunities. Legend has it that there is a large tomb here with countless treasures buried there. The endless secrets attract monsters and beasts to gather and compete to possess it.

Landing in a quaint village very close to Yingze, Li Mingyang transformed into a dragon with only more horns than a human. He activated the Breath Condensation Technique and walked into a medicine shop at the entrance of the village with Meng Xiaohe.

The medicine shop is very strange. In front of the door hangs a flying phoenix covered with peach blossoms, with three big auspicious numbers written on it, which must be the name of this herbal medicine shop.

The medicine shop was empty, with only the usual medicine cabinets and a half-height counter. There was no clerk in sight, coming out to greet business. Meng Xiaohe entered first, looked around, and finally found a small door behind the counter.

Meng Xiaohe motioned to Li Mingyang to follow him and walked into the dim room with a small door. A large medicine stove was burning in the center. In the light of the fire was an old man, wearing a light blue ripped robe, a white scarf wrapped around his head, and a deputy scholar He wore glasses, several strings of beads and a large totem mirror hanging on his body, and a large gourd on his waist. He was adding medicinal materials to the medicine furnace. The fire in the medicine furnace flickered on and off, causing him to constantly adjust the heat and temperature and check the color of the medicine.

Li Mingyang and Meng Xiaohe did not disturb the alchemy and stood by the door without saying a word.

As a red elixir formed, the old man stared at the elixir furnace, preparing to collect the elixir. The fingertips moved slightly, and the temperature of the alchemy furnace slowly dropped...

"Who are you? You came in without permission." The old man finally found Li Mingyang and Meng Xiaohe. They seemed to be afraid that the elixir would be robbed, so they hugged the elixir plate tightly in their hands.

"Old sir, please don't be afraid. We are just passing by and want to find some drugs that have entered Yingze." Li Mingyang calmly explained to the old man.

The old man stared at them, looked back and forth, put down the alchemy plate, and walked up to them.

"Old sir, my name is Li Mingyang. We two brothers are here to find relatives and are going to Yingze. I hope it will be convenient for you." Li Mingyang smiled at the old man and gave a salute.

The old man pondered and said: "You are going to Yingze, which is a dangerous place? It is better not to go if it is not necessary."

"My brother's family is said to have come to Yingze. We want to look for it, so we have to go." Li Mingyang answered.

The old man paused and kindly reminded: "I think you seem to be cultivators. Why do you have to break into the shadow? You can look for them in the village. Maybe they are here."

Li Mingyang thought about it and felt it made sense, so he asked, "Sir, do you know where foreigners gather here?"

The old man thought for a moment and replied: "You can go to the village or inn to inquire. Foreigners will always go there, but now some cultivators have come and established villas here to recruit disciples. You can also inquire. Maybe you can Find your relatives." After the old man finished speaking, he turned to the alchemy table and began to clean up again without saying a word.

Li Mingyang was very interested in the villa and planned to stay at the inn first and then visit the villa. Maybe there would be clues.

"Thank you, sir, we will go." Li Mingyang thanked him with his hands, and the two left the drug store and walked into the town.

This town is more prosperous than they imagined. Many outsiders and practitioners come and go here, and there are also caravans stopping here. The two stayed at the inn and inquired about the Meng couple and the villa.

They soon learned that there was a Xinglong Inn nearby with complete facilities and many exotic monsters.

When they arrived at Xinglong Inn, they saw many foreign monsters, immortal cultivators, businessmen and travelers. They soon discovered the villa, called "Wenwen Villa". It was established not long ago. The owners were several immortal cultivators, and they were said to be very powerful. There are many practitioners there, as well as ordinary monsters. The villa teaches how to practice and also provides shelter. More and more practitioners are joining in, and there are also many monsters coming to seek shelter.

It is said that the villa is recruiting disciples, and there is an endless stream of monsters visiting, but they must pass a test before entering the mountain. After hearing the news, Li Mingyang and Meng Xiaohe thought it was an opportunity, and hope flashed in their eyes. They wanted to explore the Wendao Villa.

Early the next morning, Li Mingyang and Meng Xiaohe went straight to Wendao Villa, and soon reached the foot of the mountain. The monsters patrolling nearby were all ferocious and untransformed.

Li Mingyang saw an old man in a pavilion at the foot of the mountain, wearing a blue and white robe and dressed elegantly, drinking tea alone. Li Mingyang stepped forward and asked: "Sir, is this Dawen Villa? I heard that it is recruiting disciples here, and we want to go and give it a try."

The old man nodded and said: "Yes, this is Wenwen Villa. However, if you want to enter the Villa, you must pass the trial. Do you know?

Li Mingyang and Meng Xiaohe nodded, willing to accept the trial. After the old man registered the two, he took them to a trial site.

The trial ground is a spacious open space, surrounded by tall trees, and very quiet. The ground in the center of the open space is made of stone slabs, smooth and flat, and carved with various runes.

There are high walls built around the trial ground, with several portraits of monsters hanging on them, and weapon racks and training equipment placed in the corners. There are several stone slate houses on the edge, and there are sounds from time to time, which should be the disciples practicing together.

A stone pillar stands in the center of the field, carved with zigzag patterns and unknown demon seal characters.

The green wood and stone instruments in the trial site exude simplicity, are full of power, and have unique shapes. The surroundings are filled with various weapons such as knives, swords, daggers, battle axes, and many rare artifacts. There is a beautifully carved stone table on the other side of the venue. The mechanism of the water curtain separates the teacher from the disciples, showing ingenuity everywhere.

There are some monsters practicing in the trial ground, some are competing with each other, and some are watching, and there is a calm and harmonious atmosphere. A new round of trials was about to begin. A green scorpion beast saw Li Mingyang and the others and came over.

"Welcome to Dao Dao Villa, I am Wei Nuo, a disciple of the Villa." Wei Nuo said, "The trial ground is over there, follow me."

Li Mingyang and Meng Xiaohe followed Wei Nuo into the trial field. A transformed lion monster stood to the east, and to the west was a bear monster. The aura was not weak. Li Mingyang chose the lion monster with a stronger aura, while Meng Xiaohe dealt with it. Bear monster.

The two sides clasped their fists in salute, and the competition began. Li Mingyang swung his long sword and rushed towards the lion monster, while Meng Xiaohe transformed into a fist and started fighting with the bear monster.

The lion monster suddenly went crazy, exploded its clothes, and turned into a ferocious lion. The sky roared, and Li Mingyang was thrown away with a sharp claw. Li Mingyang rolled in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground. The long sword stabbed the lion. The lion tried to pick him up and hit him hard, but Li Mingyang dodged.

Li Mingyang secretly thought, it was such a powerful attack, he had to outsmart it, he couldn't attack it forcefully, and he couldn't hide it.

Thinking of this, Li Mingyang rolled onto the back of the lion. The previously fierce lion suddenly turned into a sturdy man. The big man raised his tomahawk and slashed at Li Mingyang who was about to attack. Li Mingyang used all his thoughts to return to the void to neutralize the tomahawk. The big man panicked. Li Mingyang looked at Li Mingyang in horror and said: "Accompany me with the golden crystal axe!" He transformed into a lion and rushed towards Li Mingyang. Li Mingyang flew up with his sword and stabbed the lion, cutting off a lot of hair on its neck.

"I lost." The lion changed back to its original shape and announced that Li Mingyang had succeeded in the trial and could enter the villa to study.

Looking at Meng Xiaohe again, he punched the bear demon in a smart way. He looked at the place where he was hit. The bear demon laughed and looked at Meng Xiaohe with disdain. He grabbed Meng Xiaohe with both hands and tried to lift him above his head. Meng Xiaohe Transformed into a flying rat, escaped from the bear demon, used the bear demon's sliding arm to rush to his face, and changed back to its original shape. When falling, the dagger stabbed the bear demon's shoulder, scaring the bear demon into panic. Wesnoth After taking action to stop him at the right time, Meng Xiaohe returned to his original shape. Wei Nuo announced that Meng Xiaohe had won and passed the trial.

The old man came over and nodded to the two of them: "Yes, the techniques and skills are very good. Now, you have officially become disciples of Dao Dao Villa. I hope you will become even better in your practice."

When the two heard this, they felt overjoyed. They thanked the old man and several trial officers, and followed Wei Nuo into Dao Dao Villa.

Li Mingyang sent a message to Meng Xiaohe: "We have entered Wenwen Villa. Please don't call me Immortal Brother again from now on. Let's stay here temporarily and ask about your parents. Don't be anxious."

Meng Xiaohe nodded in agreement. They followed Wei Nuo through the bamboo forest and came to a house built along the cliff. They were led into the last two rooms. During this period, they did not speak.

"You guys will stay here first. This is the dormitory for the new disciples. I am Master Man Bing's eldest disciple, and I can also be considered your senior brother."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Wei Nuo." Li Mingyang stepped forward and saluted Wei Nuo.

"You're welcome. You guys have a good rest. There will be a training session at the villa tomorrow morning. You can learn the rules of the villa by the way." Wei Nuo said casually, thinking that he had other things to do and was distracted.

"Senior brother, I heard that we are going to become a disciple at the villa. Is this a problem?" Li Mingyang continued to ask.

"The disciples in the villa can only be apprenticed to a master one month after entering the school. The master chooses his disciples independently. If he wins the favor of the master, he may become a disciple of several masters. If he behaves well, the master will take him away and teach him the techniques alone."

After Wei Nuo finished explaining, he left. The child Meng Xiaohe was full of curiosity about the new place and kept talking to Li Mingyang. Although they were all about his thoughts about Dawen Villa, Li Mingyang could feel his yearning for the future.

While Li Mingyang was replying to Meng Xiaohe, he secretly contacted Xingqing, wanting to know more about the situation in the villa to avoid anything going wrong.

Xingqing came back soon and gave an overview of the villa. The five owners took turns to take charge. They were the founders of the villa. The villa ostensibly recruited cultivators, but in fact it was a large force surrounding the movie city and controlled many minerals. Develop resources and control surrounding trade and transportation routes. Therefore, the status of cultivators in the villa is very noble. If you become a disciple of the master, you can receive careful training and guidance to improve your cultivation.

At the same time, the disciples in the villa will also participate in some tasks with the outside world and receive generous rewards, which not only enhances the status of the villa, but also enhances the influence of the villa in the surrounding areas.

Xingqing's explanation made Li Mingyang think of the power structure that controlled the villa. He thought silently for a while and felt deeply that the power of the villa in the surrounding areas and even the entire mountain range should not be underestimated. If he could become a disciple of the five masters, he would definitely benefit a lot. He decided to perform well in order to gain their favor and be accepted by them to gain more resources.

Li Mingyang relayed the conversation between the two to Meng Xiaohe. Everything in the villa made him look forward to it, and his busy life was about to begin.

The next day, at the village training site, Li Mingyang and Meng Xiaohe changed into their new village uniforms early and came to another open space in the village. The teachers in the village they saw were all wearing robes and carrying various weapons. They were standing on the platform in the square. It can be seen that these The monsters all possess skills, some are gentle, some are rude and vicious, and some are immortal. They all looked at the students in the audience without making a sound.

When the eight instructors saw a graceful figure flying down from the mountain peak, they stood up one after another and saluted him. Li Mingyang was a little anxious waiting, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person landing in the center of the stage. He was wearing a brocade robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. He looked majestic and his skills must be outstanding. Meng Xiaohe's eyes shone with envy, and he could not stop talking about his demonic demeanor until a few days later.

Li Mingyang later learned that this monster was called Aoshuo, a descendant of the ancient Aoye, and that his body was a four-cornered sacred bull. No wonder it felt so majestic.

Several teachers called him master, and he was probably one of the five founders. He spoke a lot eloquently, mostly to encourage new disciples to practice hard. He talked about the selection of teachers in the villa, which aroused Li Mingyang's interest. When you first enter the villa, you will be taught by a temporary teacher. After you become a master, you will be considered a formal master. During this month, the disciples must also show themselves and try to win the favor of the teachers.

After Aoshuo finished speaking, he flew back to the mountain peak. Li Mingyang saw a tall, dark monster walking out with a pair of meteor spikes on his back. He was the most ordinary among the students. His name is Linqing, and he is the weapon forger of the Villa. He has mastered many exquisite tool forging skills and production methods. He is the master who performs the most frequent tasks in the Villa. He walked down the stage and said that he was the temporary master for this month. He asked all the new disciples to line up, step forward in order, state their names, show their true form, and the weapons they practiced. Linqing's eyes swept over everyone and stayed on Li Mingyang for a moment. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had discovered something. Li Mingyang performed the Breath Condensation Jue again, checked his own breath, and then felt relieved.
