After the villain resigned

After the Qiming bell on the top of the Star Picking Tower slowly knocked three times, and the melodious and long bell rang through the three states and nine cities under the Star Picking Tower, it represented the official opening of the ten-year Star Picking Conference.

There was a flash of inspiration on the jade plaque worn by every monk participating in the conference, which inspired the teleportation array engraved on it, and teleported one after another to the secret place where the conference was held.

The crowded town seems to lose most of its people in an instant.

With the disappearance of the monks, a light curtain appeared in the sky above the three states and nine cities of the Star Picking Tower.

You only need to look up to see the top [-] monks.

Those who had free time gathered together to discuss these rookie monks who had the power to dive into a dragon.

"No.1 is the young disciple of the host of Zhaixing. He just turned [-] this year. He is really a promising young man."

"How come there are still a few characters that I haven't heard of before?"

"Don't underestimate these people. They were unknown in the past, and maybe they will soar into the sky, just like Zhou... Ergou, who is ranked fifth?"

Jiang Yiyi followed the soft spiritual power from the teleportation array, without any resistance, and when he opened his eyes again, he appeared in a secret place with rich spiritual energy.

As soon as he entered this world, he felt very familiar, and had a faint feeling that he had stepped here before.

But Jiang Yi has entered eighty if not a hundred small worlds of secret realms, and he really can't remember whether he has been there before.

"Second dog?" He thought of teasing, and called Zhou Siwei's name, but there was no response for a long time.

Jiang Yi looked around, but didn't see Zhou Siwei.

The two were separated in the secret realm.

The rules of the Star Reaching Conference are fair. In order to prevent team formation among acquainted monks, even if they enter the secret realm at the same place, they may not necessarily appear in the same place.

Jiang Yiyi didn't find Zhou Siwei, but met a team of two.

The older male monk seemed to be the leader. His eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Yiyi, and he didn't immediately shout and kill. Instead, he stood not far away and said, "Next is Zhang Huanzhi, the chief disciple of Xiaxingmen."

Xia Xing Sect is a vassal sect of Zhai Xing Lou, and it is considered to be a relatively famous sect in the three states and nine cities. Zhang Huanzhi thought that the person in front of him would compliment him politely, but unexpectedly he gave a cold "oh".

The junior brother behind him was not so good-tempered, and couldn't help shouting: "I don't know what sect you are? Have you never heard of Xia Xingmen? Our senior brother is a popular candidate for the Star Reaching Conference!"

"Ze Taki." Zhang Huanzhi called out, and cupped his hands apologetically, "Junior brother is still young, please forgive me."

Jiang Yili replied honestly, "I've never heard of it."

Even Zhang Huanzhi, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't hold back the warm smile on his face, and he recovered after a moment of stiffness, "Your Excellency is alone, why not go with the two of us, and you can take care of us."

Zhang Huanzhi always felt that his face was not bad, and it was easy for people to let go of their guard. This time, there was no mistake, and this person agreed without hesitation.

Jiang Yiyi: "All right."

The team suddenly became three people.

Zhang Huanzhi talked a little more, and after talking a lot about what he had and what he didn't, he got to the point.

The Star Reaching Conference has been held in the Xiaochi Secret Realm. The Xiaochi Secret Realm is opened once every ten years, and there are various precious elixir inside. Unfortunately, each person can only enter once.

The brother of Xiaxingmen participated in the Star Reaching Conference last time, and once encountered a middle-grade elixir white sandalwood lotus, but unfortunately the elixir was not mature at that time, and it was useless to pick it off.

So he memorized the location and sold the news to Zhang Huanzhi.

"Would you like to pick the elixir together?" Zhang Huanzhi asked after finishing speaking, "The three of us will just share it equally."

Jiang Yiyi repeated thoughtfully, "Xiaochi secret realm?"

It sounded familiar, as if not only came here, but also came with Zhou Siwei.

It's just that it's been so long, I can't remember it all at once.

Zhang Huanzhi's smile froze, "What do you think?"

Jiang Yi nodded.

On the way to find the elixir, the two brothers and sisters used spiritual power to secretly transmit sound.

Xiang Zelong was puzzled, "Senior brother, why don't we just take his jade card away, why take him to find the white sandalwood lotus?"

Whispering into his ears, Zhang Huanzhi took a look at Jiang Yiyi, "The elixir is protected by fierce beasts, wouldn't it be better to find a dead ghost instead?"

Xiang Zelong smiled slightly when he heard the words, "Senior brother is still thoughtful."

It's just that they didn't expect that all the secret sound transmissions would be picked up by Jiang Yiyi.

He didn't directly expose the two people's faces, but still followed behind them, intending to take a look at the white sandalwood lotus.

Xiaochi Secret Realm is a dilapidated small world, but the secret realm has a vast area, and it is more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Zhang Huanzhi led the way according to the clues provided by his fellow disciples. When he met a few monks, he avoided them far away. Along the way, he arrived at the place where the white sandalwood lotus grew.

"The white sandalwood lotus grows by water, and this place is rich in water and spiritual energy, so it should be here." Zhang Huanzhi stopped by a lake, analyzed everything, and determined the location of the white sandalwood lotus.

The surface of the lake is vast and misty, like a gem covered with a layer of veil, shining with faint light.

After a ray of breeze blows by, ripples appeared on the turquoise water surface, revealing its true face.

There are lotus flowers growing in the lake, dancing with the wind, which can be said to be swaying.

Zhang Huanzhi bent down, took out a spiritual weapon and put it into the water.

The spirit weapon was originally a boat-shaped jade carving the size of a palm, but it turned into a spirit boat and floated on the water as soon as it entered the water.

Zhang Huanzhi and Xiang Zelong boarded the spirit boat first, seeing that Jiang Yiyi was still standing on the shore.

Zhang Huanzhi thought he was worried, smiled at him, and persuaded him, "Jiang Daoyou also come up together, this is a low-grade spiritual weapon, which can block the full blow of a Jindan stage monk."

Jiang Yi condensed his spiritual energy in his eyes, passed through the veil, and his eyes fell on the center of the lake.

He has definitely been here.

But before Jiang Yi could think of it, his thoughts were interrupted.

Without saying anything, he stepped onto the spirit boat.

The spirit boat does not need manpower, it moves with the spiritual energy of the driver, breaks through the calm lake, and heads towards the center of the lake.

The lake is extremely quiet, and there are no other creatures.

Xiang Zelong looked down for a long time, but he didn't see a small fish swimming by. He couldn't help but said curiously, "It's fine if there are no birds in this lake, but there are no fish."

This sentence was particularly loud on the silent lake, and there was a faint echo after the words fell.

Zhang Huanzhi's expression was a little serious, and he lowered his voice and said, "Be careful."

It is impossible for such a large lake to be devoid of living creatures, unless the accompanying ferocious beast is really ferocious.

It seems that white sandalwood lotus is not so easy to get.

Zhang Huanzhi looked at Jiang Yi calmly.

He was leaning against the side of the boat looking at the surrounding scenery, as if he was on a spring outing.

"Are you ready?" Zhang Huanzhi asked secretly.

Xiang Zetaki withdrew his mind, glanced at the items prepared in the storage bag, and nodded.

Based on the news from his fellow disciples, Zhang Huanzhi had long known what the companion ominous beast of the white sandalwood lotus was, and had made all kinds of preparations.

As long as Jiang Yi was tricked into going up to get the white sandalwood lotus first, to attract the attention of the companion beast, the two of them would work in secret.

The two of them communicated in secret, Jiang Yi lowered his head and looked at the lake.

The lake is green, like a piece of intact emerald.As long as those two people looked down, they could see a huge monster paddling quietly under the spirit boat. As long as it turned over, the small boat would be destroyed in an instant.

But it didn't show any ferocity towards the thing that broke into its territory. It just slowly left a shadow below. It took a quarter of an hour for it to finish wandering with a long body of pitch-black scales and head towards the center of the lake. go.

There is a small island in the middle of the lake, and the spirit boat is parked on the shore.

"How about fellow Daoist Jiang go up first?" Zhang Huanzhi suggested, "To tell you the truth, fellow Daoist Jiang, the white sandalwood lotus is a spiritual creature, and there are companion spirit beasts around him, but the spirit beasts only survive in the water and dare not go ashore. We are willing to protect Daoist Jiang."

Xiang Zelong played the black face at this time, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother! How can it be, the white sandalwood lotus is precious, what if—"

The unfinished words are well understood by everyone present.

Zhang Huanzhi waved his hand, "It's okay, I believe in Jiang Daoyou's character, the three of us will work together to take down the white sandalwood lotus, and then we will share it equally."

They have only known each other for less than an hour, so they speak as if they are very familiar with each other.

Jiang Yi didn't refute or refuse, just went ashore and walked towards the center of the island.

Looking at the man's back, Zhang Huanzhi suddenly felt uneasy.

Xiang Zelong asked: "Brother, what if this person really got the white sandalwood lotus?"

"It's okay." Zhang Huanzhi suppressed his uneasiness, and walked onto the island. The smile on his face was no longer gentle and elegant, but revealed a gloomy expression, "If he really hits his luck, he will just kill people and get more money."

The rule of the Star Reaching Conference is that if the jade card leaves the body, it will be out, and after being out, it will be teleported out of Xiaochi Secret Realm.

But if someone dies without leaving the jade token, naturally he will never be able to leave this place.

A few unlucky monks would die in every Star Reaching Conference, which was extremely common.

Jiang Yi walks on the island in the middle of the lake.

The path paved with soft cobblestones has twists and turns, but Jiang Yiyi walks very well, choosing the direction without hesitation before several forks.

The path came to an end, and there was a small pond in front of it.

A delicate and tender lotus flower blooms in the pond. The petals are as white as a flawless jade. In the center is a green lotus pod, exuding a faint fragrance, which is refreshing.

As soon as Jiang Yi smelled this smell, he recalled that he had indeed been here before.

The middle-grade elixir of white sandalwood lotus, the fragrance it emits can make people feel confused.

This setting is common in the book and is used to advance the relationship between the hero and heroine.

In the setting of the plot of "Treading the Immortal", Zhou Siwei and the heroine should have come here together. At the beginning, the two people's cultivation could not resist the scent of white sandalwood and lotus. Afterwards, the mandarin ducks played in the water, and the relationship between the two was a matter of course.

But I don't know what went wrong, and it was him and Zhou Siwei who ended up here.
