The fairy world collapsed, and the down-and-out gods were laid off and re-employed.

If these people were just lazy, Jiang Zhixia wouldn't care. After all, she is not a diligent person. I don't have the nerve to call people lazy dogs. But the abnormal spiritual energy mentioned by Fairy Magnolia attracted her attention.

Xie Zezhi had previously said that there would be something strange wherever the formation was completed. Although it is still uncertain whether it is related to the magic circle, they can't let go of any clues now.

Fairy Magnolia pointed the way and said that the sect was on Yunlu Mountain in the northwest.

Because Mu Shenglan wanted to go back to appease his disciples, he couldn't get away and only said he would go find them in a few days. Mo Yanxu was arranged by Jiang Zhixia to find Ling Xuanche. He had to inquire about news about the demon world, and also see if he could contact Ji Chen to get some information from him. Maybe Jiang Zhixia's obsession would help.

Everyone went their separate ways. Xie Zezhi and Jiang Zhixia rode the clouds together to Yunlu Mountain. On the way, Xie Zezhi repeatedly asked Jiang Zhixia if he could bear it. After all, the scene scared him badly.

Jiang Zhixia also repeatedly assured him that she had absolutely no problem. To prevent him from continuing to ask questions, she changed the topic and said that she had never been an immortal and asked him to tell him what it was like to become an immortal.

"Do you meditate every day and suddenly become an immortal one day?"

"How can it be so easy?" Xie Zezhi said with a smile: "Everyone's way of practice is different, and meditation is just one of them.

There are three hundred and sixty side gates in the Taoist gate, and all side gates have positive results. There are gates with the word 'shu' that invite immortals Fuluan and ask for divination; there are gates with the word 'jing' that are engaged in cultivation and meditation, and there are gates with the word 'dong'..."

"Okay, okay, I won't listen anymore." Jiang Zhixia felt a headache when he started "chanting", "Which one did you learn?"

"I practice the right way, practice the golden elixir, and keep my whole body intact."

"Xiao Mu too?"

"Yes." He added: "The methods of cultivation are different, and the sects are also different. Although everyone is cultivating immortality, there will be unwritten distinctions based on the methods of cultivation."

"for example?"

"For example..." Xie Zezhi was afraid that she would be impatient, so he simplified his language, "Those who refine alchemy look down upon those who practice swordsmanship, those who practice swordsmanship despise those who meditate, those who meditate hate those who chant sutras, and those who chant sutras look down upon those who practice yin and nourish yang." of……"

"Taking yin and replenishing yang?"

"It's just..." He leaned into her ear and said a few words.

"Is this okay?" Jiang Zhixia was shocked.

"Yes. The art of dual cultivation emphasizes the harmony of yin and yang, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses." Xie Zezhi coughed slightly and said: "Although I practice the right way, I also know a little about these. If you are so interested, I will teach you..."

"I'm not interested!" She quickly took it off.

She didn't know if she had improved her cultivation level last night. Anyway, she was shaken so much that she felt like vomiting, her mind went blank several times, and she almost died from exhaustion.

"Actually, if you're not interested, you can cultivate it slowly..."

"Don't learn!" She refused him flatly and asked Xiu Xian if he had anything else to do before he said anything else.

Xie Zezhi felt sorry for this "knowledge", then corrected his attitude and continued to tell her about the world of immortality.

"Business and transactions in the world of cultivating immortals rely on spiritual stones or immortal grass. Good spiritual stones are hard to come by. They can be used for cultivation or exchanged for other things."

"Is a spiritual stone a stone with spiritual energy?"

"That's understandable."

"Ah~~" Jiang Zhixia felt that she had not caught up with the good time to "trade with stones". She felt a little regretful and curious about how Xie Zezhi got into the sect at that time.

He said there would be a simple spiritual power test at the beginning to see if he had wisdom. After passing, you have to pass various tests from going up the mountain to the sect, during which a large group of people will be screened out.

After entering the sect, the assessment is not over yet. They will continue to study for one year, and then pass a competition and be assigned to different masters according to their ability.

"No matter which master he is, he likes disciples with high abilities. Of course, the abilities of these masters also determine whether they can have good disciples." Xie Zezhi said: "The world of cultivation relies on ability. The stronger the strength, the greater the advantage. The more resources there will be. Those who are not strong will either be eliminated or become a training tool for others."

Jiang Zhixia felt that this pattern was a bit familiar. She turned her head and asked, "Isn't this just like the devil world?"

"From a practical point of view, it is indeed the same." He sighed, "There are many people cultivating immortals, but few becoming immortals. In order to ascend as soon as possible, this kind of 'competition' is inevitable."

"Haha, I asked why there are so many non-human gods in the immortal world. It turns out that the roots are here." Jiang Zhixia faked a smile.

While they were talking, the two of them arrived at Yunlu Mountain, and saw a lot of mist under the clouds, dense pines and cypresses, and abundant spiritual energy. As for the discomfort that Fairy Magnolia mentioned, they didn't notice it.

"Lord Zhenjun, do you see anything?"

Xie Zezhi shook his head, "I don't notice there is a magic circle here, go down and ask the Earth Mountain God."

The two of them lowered their cloud heads, called out the land and mountain gods here, and asked if there was anything strange here recently.

The two of them thought about it for a long time, then shook their heads and said no.

Xie Zezhi guessed that the two of them were not aware of it because of their low cultivation. He also asked if there was a sect of cultivating immortals here.

There is a sect on the mountain called Tianqiong Sect.

After the changes in the world and the loss of spiritual energy, the Immortal Cultivation Sect also experienced twists and turns, undergoing many integrations and dispersions.

This Tianqiong Sect was a sect that merged with several small sects back then, and now it has become the largest sect in the entire world of cultivating immortals. There are things like spiritual practice inside.

It's just that these monks no longer practice as hard as they did in previous years, or slay demons. Instead, he is lazy and often goes down the mountain to get into trouble.

"Cause trouble?" Jiang Zhixia didn't quite understand, "Are these monks?"

"Yes." Tu Tu said: "These people occasionally go down the mountain to catch monsters, but they always cause a mess and the people below the mountain are miserable."

"You dare to go down the mountain to catch monsters if you don't have enough ability?"

"It's not a lack of ability." The mountain god answered: "Xiaoxian looked at them as if they deliberately let the monsters run away and messed up the matter. There are also those who suddenly lay motionless on the ground in the middle of catching monsters."

"Pretending to be dead?"

"No, just sleeping in front of the monster..."

Jiang Zhixia's eyebrows are almost tied together. She admitted that she was lazy, but she was not lazy enough to sleep while catching monsters. Wouldn't she be dying for it?

"What are you planning?"

"This... Xiaoxian doesn't know what their sect teaches." The mountain god added: "But the troubles they cause will eventually be dealt with by the people in their sect. So the people also love and hate them. .”

Jiang Zhixia and Xie Zezhi looked at each other and felt that they had to go check inside the sect.

Xie Zezhi asked: "Is this sect still recruiting disciples?"

"Recruiting! They recruit disciples every three months at the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, where they are today."

Jiang Zhixia thanked Xie Zezhi and left.

According to what the mountain god said, the two of them saw that the Tianqiong Sect was recruiting and registering new disciples in the pavilion.

The queue outside the pavilion was very long, Jiang Zhixia estimated that there were about three hundred people. Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and many people come here to find a safe place to eat.

But she didn't see any small test of wisdom that Xie Zezhi mentioned. Passing or failing seemed to depend on the happiness of those disciples.

The two of them concealed their immortal aura and lined up in the queue as mortals. The team moved very fast, and it was her turn in less than half an hour.

The leading disciple glanced at her and asked lazily: "What's your name?"

"Jiang...Jiang Xiaoxia..." She casually reported her name.

"Were there opera singers in the family before?"

"Ah?" Jiang Zhixia didn't know where he came to this conclusion, but she vaguely felt that he was praising her, and asked with a smile: "You said it's because of my good figure?"

"I mean you are dressed in fancy clothes! What a mess. Your family is very poor, right?"

Jiang Zhixia retracted her smile.

Xie Zezhi sighed from behind: It’s almost three hundred chapters, and this disciple is the first to speak so straightforwardly.

The disciple didn't wait for her answer and sneered, "You must have been right. No one can escape my eyes. Okay, go and register your name."

"Have I passed?" Jiang Zhixia couldn't believe it herself, "You don't want to test whether I have wisdom..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The disciple was very impatient, "If you keep nagging you, don't go. I gave you a chance and you served it. Next!"

Jiang Zhixia shook her head angrily... and wrote her name honestly on the side.

The man glanced at her disdainfully and then turned his attention to Xie Zezhi. He also glanced at this "rich young man" without reacting at all, and asked: "You come to practice immortality even if your family has money? Have you seen through life?"

Xie Zezhi looked at Jiang Zhixia, shook his head and said: "My family has no money, and the girl thinks I am poor and is unwilling to marry me. She plans to practice immortality to heal her emotional injuries."

Jiang Zhixia almost broke the brush in her hand, glared at him, and cursed in her heart: That girl mainly thinks you are a dog!

"What's your name?" The man wasn't very interested in his story.

"Thank you...Jiang Zezhi."

"Both of your surnames are Jiang?" The man pointed at Jiang Zhixia: "You two know each other?"

"I don't know him." Jiang Zhixia came over, covering half of her face with her hands, and said to the disciple mysteriously: "This man has been trying to trick me all the way. I suspect that he is coveting my beauty and plotting against me. .”

The man snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense. I've seen everything. I can tell at a glance that you two eloped. You kidnapped this young master, did you want his money and body? Can't you go back now?" I can only find a place to live as an immortal."

"Yes, yes." Xie Zezhi was very flattering, "She has been fantasizing about me for a long time."

"Brother and sister... hmm, is that the husband's surname? I'm telling you, I've seen everything! Hurry up, next one!" The man didn't bother to talk to them anymore and asked Xie Zezhi to go and register.

Jiang Zhixia stood with her hands on her hips angrily. She really didn't understand why she looked so poor.

After Xie Zezhi finished registering, he pulled her sleeve and coaxed in a low voice: "Be good, we won't be angry with him."

"I'm not angry with him! I'm with you!" She whispered: "Do I take my husband's surname? Everything belongs to others, right? Even if you have the surname, you can steal it."

"If you don't want to use your husband's surname, then I can always use my wife's surname."

"Go to the other side!"
