Lonely Immortal

"Um...Brother Zhang, Qingliu actually doesn't mean anything else. He just has a more upright temperament and can easily offend people with his words. He doesn't have any malicious intentions, so don't take it to heart."

Song Changgong quickly came out to smooth things over. He was trying to put in a good word for Ouyang Qingliu.

"Yes, Brother Zhang, Qingliu probably didn't mean to say anything about you. As you know, all Fa cultivators are like this. They speak straightforwardly. Hey, he often talks about me like this too. I'm used to it..." Zhao Mingyang said quite a bit. A little embarrassed, but he also said good things to Ouyang Qingliu.

As for Chu Xiangling and Li Lanting, the two female cultivators didn't say much. They didn't seem to want to say good things to Ouyang Qingliu, but they naturally looked a little embarrassed.

Zhang Zhiwen naturally saw the reason for this, because Ouyang Qingliu is a monk with seventeen levels of Taoism, and his cultivation level seems to be the highest, reaching the fourth level of foundation building. It can be said that he is the most important combat power here. Of course, these people dare not offend Ouyang Qingliu, there is nothing surprising about this kind of thing. The strong are respected, and Ouyang Qingliu originally regarded the seventeenth Zhong Daogen is far ahead of the others. Now that Zhang Zhiwen is here, it seems that the gap between the two sides is not that big. In addition, Zhang Zhiwen is not like Song Changgong and is obviously very young. In everyone's opinion, he must be very qualified, so Ouyang Qingliu subconsciously felt threatened, so she made critical remarks and didn't look good to Zhang Zhiwen.

But Zhang Zhiwen doesn't care about this. It's just a small temporary team. This kind of temporary team will disperse as soon as possible. It is estimated that no one will meet anyone in the future. Why bother to be too fussy about a chance meeting?

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwen just smiled faintly, and then said: "It doesn't matter, and what Brother Ouyang said is right. I may not be able to climb the Jiuzhong Daoyi Mountain. Besides, time is running out, so why don't we hurry up and set off?"

"Oh, okay..." Song Changgong didn't expect Zhang Zhiwen to be so humble and calm. Of course he was happy to see such a situation, so he couldn't help but pat Zhang Zhiwen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Haha, I didn't expect Brother Zhang to be so Open-minded, Song likes to deal with people like Brother Zhang, your friend Song is determined!"

"Hey, I, Mr. Zhao, also think that Brother Zhang is a trustworthy person. He is so young and has such a calm and simple personality. I, Mr. Zhao, admire him very much!" Zhao Mingyang also admired Zhang Zhiwen, and what he said now was similar to The previous words had a different tone. The tone before was inevitably a bit far-fetched, but now it was completely obvious that he was sincere.

"Okay, okay, Brother Zhang said that everyone should hurry up and hurry up. You two are not done yet. You see, this has made Brother Zhang a little embarrassed." Chu Xiangling was obviously relaxed now. After a few minutes, it was obvious that she was actually a little worried that Zhang Zhiwen would be angry just now, but Zhang Zhiwen was not, and was actually easier to get along with than she expected, so she could even joke with Zhang Zhiwen.

"That's right, you two are serious, Zhiwen, don't listen to him, let's go." Li Lanting felt much more relaxed, and looked at Zhang Zhiwen with obvious admiration, and his words became more direct and cordial.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen handled a small matter simply and low-key, and made everyone have a good impression of him. In fact, Zhang Zhiwen has always been low-key in the team, and most people will have a good impression of him. of.

So, everyone set off again.

This time, everyone was talking and laughing. It was obviously because Zhang Zhiwen's arrival gave the team a better atmosphere. Of course, most of what everyone talked about was about Daoyi Mountain, and Zhang Zhiwen learned more about it. More about Daoyishan.

You can form a team for this Yishan level, but the number of people cannot exceed nine, and there must be no more than nine Tao methods. This is equivalent to the nine Tao methods that can form a team, and then go through the level together. Of course, one person can also go through the level, it doesn’t matter. The difference is that each crossing can only be passed once, which means that after a team or individual passes it once, the crossing will not be opened until the next time.

Another thing is about the clearance time. Daoyi Mountain is open once a month, and the clearance time is one month, so Daoyi Mountain is actually only opened once every two months, because mountaineering takes time, and it takes a lot of time. .

This is indeed something Zhang Zhiwen doesn't know, and Zhang Zhiwen also vaguely feels that it is obviously very difficult to break through Daoyi Mountain. Not only Daoyi Mountain itself poses various challenges to the monks, but there are also other teams or other monks here. This brings challenges, because along the way, Zhang Zhiwen has seen that many monks have begun to form teams one after another. The lone rangers at the beginning are almost invisible. It can be seen that everyone is not stupid, and of course they can form a team. It would be better to form a team, but it’s not that Such a simple thing, it seems that the cultivation level and Dao root must be relatively matched, otherwise it will be difficult for the team to come together. For example, Zhang Zhiwen's team has Dao roots at least tenth level, and their cultivation levels are almost at the second level of Foundation Building. The fourth level of foundation building, and in the team Basically, there cannot be repeated Taoist methods on the surface, because Daoyi Mountain will reject such teams with the same Taoist methods. Of course, although Zhang Zhiwen also has the Taoist methods of Qi Xiu, he can still disguise it. He is not very worried about this. At worst, it's just Taoism that doesn't require tools.

However, this kind of temporary team is definitely not as good as those teams of the same discipline that are led by masters. Those teams who know the basics and cooperate well, and are led by masters, will definitely be much better than the temporary team.

But no matter what, having a team is definitely much better than having no team. Zhang Zhiwen is not opposed to forming a team. He wants to check the situation first. Otherwise, if he goes through the level alone, it seems to be too conspicuous, and he will be easily attracted by other teams or other teams. The monks targeted, and sure enough, there were individual cultivators The monks may be more withdrawn and still choose to walk alone, but this kind of monks obviously receive special attention from others, because this kind of loners are obviously the easiest to deal with. Zhang Zhiwen guessed that when he breaks through the level in a while, it is estimated that this kind of person will definitely be the first one. Was cleared out for a while.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen followed the team towards Daoyi Mountain. The closer they got to Daoyi Mountain, the pressure around them became more and more obvious. Some teams seemed to be slowing down, but Ouyang Qingliu didn't seem to be too big. Affected by the pressure, they were still walking the fastest at the front. Li Lanting and Chu Xiangling, the weakest members of the team, seemed to be fine. This pressure did not seem to have much impact on them. Therefore, everyone continued to move towards the Dao at the same speed as before. Mountains advance.

I don’t know how long they have been walking, but the monks who climbed up have arrived at the foot of Daoyi Mountain one after another, and then a large number of monks began to disperse, because there are a total of eighty-one Daoyi Mountains in this first level. It seems that these eighty-one crossings are enough for eighty-one teams to climb Daoyi Mountain, and the new monks coming to Daoyi Mountain are actually not even close. There is only this amount, so there seems to be no competition for the first level of Daoyi Mountain. Everyone is quite conscious. When seeing a team led by an expert, the newcomer team basically avoids it, while the team led by the expert does not. After being entangled, they guarded the crossing, and Zhang Zhiwen's team also found an unoccupied crossing and then stopped.

"Okay, let's choose this one. No one is fighting for this first level of Daoyi Mountain. There are many crossings, enough for everyone to share, but some unlucky ones may not be able to do it." Song Changgong came to the crossing. He was panting slightly, and it was obvious that the pressure here was already great. Even Song Changgong felt the tremendous pressure from Daoyi Mountain.

"Humph, that's just their fault!" Ouyang Qingliu obviously disdained those so-called lone rangers, but that's right. He has seventeen levels of Dao roots and he still chooses to form a team, but those newcomers still insist on going alone. This is obvious It's irrational.

It's just that everyone didn't like his tone very much, but they were very sensible and didn't say much, because after all, everyone wanted to give Ouyang Qingliu some face because he was the strongest.

"Well, okay, let's go to the Daoyi Monument and record it now."

Song Changgong changed the subject, and then led everyone to the two stone monuments at the entrance of Daoyi Mountain.

These two stone tablets are naturally the Daoyi Monument and the Daoguo Monument. The Daoyi Monument shows the ranking of the strongest monks who climbed onto the Daoyi Mountain. The Daoguo Monument shows the ranking of the number of Daoyi Fruits captured. The Daoyi Monument is also a team. The registration place is somewhat like a gathering stone.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the Taoist Monument, Song Changgong stretched out his hand and pressed it on the Taoist Monument. Others also stretched out their hands and pressed their hands on the Taoist Monument. Zhang Zhiwen also followed suit and pressed his hands on the Taoist Monument. , but there was still no movement in the Daoyi Monument until After calming down for a few breaths, the meaning tablet slowly lit up, and then wisps of light fell down. These rays of light were injected into the identity tokens of the team members, and the meaning tablet also showed each person's identity token. The name and sect of a team member.

Zhang Zhiwen has never heard of the sect of Song Changgong and others, because there are countless medium-sized sects in Tianshui Fairyland, large and small, how could Zhang Zhiwen know so much, and Zhang Zhiwen showed that Xuan Dan Sect, Song Changgong and others obviously also I’m not sure, but the name of the Xuan Dan Sect is immediately obvious to others. It is an alchemy sect, so Song Changgong and others are naturally relieved. At least Zhang Zhiwen's name is correct. The sect seems to be an alchemy sect, which seems to be correct. Moreover, Zhang Zhiwen walked very easily along the way, almost like everyone else. Strength, therefore, Song Changgong and others no longer doubt anything.

In this way, the team registration was completed, Song Changgong also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he smiled and said: "Okay, let's set off now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Qingliu took the lead and walked towards the crossing. Soon, he seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier and then disappeared from everyone's eyes. Song Changgong and others did not find anything strange about this. They also followed, and finally passed through an endless road. The shaped barrier went in, and Zhang Zhiwen was the last one to go in. It was not that he was too cautious, but that he had to be on guard against others. This was his first time here and he didn’t know much about the situation here. If Song Changgong and the others went in, If nothing happens in the end, of course he will be fine.

In this way, Zhang Zhiwen also successfully passed through the barrier and entered the crossing. After entering, Zhang Zhiwen discovered that this was a road leading to the sky. This road was quite wide and could accommodate eight carriages. However, This road has no end in sight, all the way up It was a blur of white mist, and I could only see about a thousand feet. This was only the first mountain of Daoyi Mountain, and it was only so high. No wonder Daoyi Mountain looked so huge from a distance. It can be seen from this, This first mountain must be climbed within a month, so we may need to speed up our progress.

Sure enough, after Ouyang Qingliu came in, he ran straight ahead without saying a word. Obviously, there was no competition at this crossing, so run quickly. The sooner you reach Yichuan Mountain, the better.

However, Zhang Zhiwen also noticed that the temperature in the first level of Daoyi Mountain was much lower than outside. It felt as if winter had arrived. As the altitude continued to rise, the temperature would probably be even lower. However, since everyone present was a cultivator, this little bit of cold was not enough to affect everyone.
