Hard to be a master

For the rest of the way, they encountered no other obstacles and arrived at the wooden house deep in the bamboo forest very smoothly.There is a low bamboo fence around the wooden house. There are many ferns that guide them to grow on the outside of the bamboo fence, but the inside is clean without a single weed.The whole wooden house is shrouded in a layer of enchantment, which can not only resist wind and rain, but also keep out anything that does not belong to this house.It is also because of the protection of this enchantment that even in such a humid and cold place, the wooden house has not been damp and rotted.

In the small yard outside the wooden house was a square bamboo table, and sitting beside the table was a nun who looked to be in her thirties, slowly wiping a long sword in her hand.Seeing the six people who came uninvited, the female cultivator didn't show any surprise. After scanning a few people, she nodded slightly at them.

There was only one stool beside the square table, which was being sat by the nun, so Shen Ziliu and his party had to stand in front of the table.After the female cultivator put them into the barrier, she looked away and continued her work without saying a word.After the six people looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, Liu Yixuan took a step forward, greeted the female cultivator politely, and explained everyone's identity and purpose of coming.However, the female nun still wiped the sword in her hand expressionlessly after hearing this, as if she didn't want to talk to them.

The six people exchanged glances, Shen Ziliu frowned slightly and was about to step forward, but was held down by Zi Lan.Shen Ziliu gave him a questioning look, and Zi Lan shook her head calmly at him, signaling him to wait patiently.Seeing this, the others also fell silent, and even Liu Yixuan retreated into the crowd.

About two quarters of an hour later, the female cultivator finally finished wiping the long sword in her hand. She raised the sword in front of her and inspected it carefully for a while. a young man.

"My name is Lin Xue. As you can see, I am a swordsman. For some reason, I am temporarily living in Zhongnan Mountain. I was entrusted by Master Hanshui to entrust you with the first task of this trial."

After Lin Xue finished speaking in a flat tone, she paused for a while, and then said: "Before I give you the task, you must first confirm your identity. Please give me your kit."

Qing Yin hurriedly handed over the kit in his bosom, Lin Xue took the kit and pinched it in his palm for a moment, then glanced at the six people in front of him, and suddenly said, "Zhan Ning, Qing Yin."

The two people whose names were suddenly called suddenly felt tense, and then they stood up and said, "The disciple is here!"

After Lin Xue looked at the two of them, she said, "You two go to the alchemy furnace on Cuiwei Peak to get a piece of burnt ebony."

Suddenly being assigned a task, both of them froze for a moment, and then under Lin Xue's gaze, they said in unison: "Yes!"

Lin Xue turned her attention to the other four people, and then called names: "Liu Yixuan, Zilan."

Zi Lan and Liu Yixuan stood up at the same time: "The disciple is here."

Lin Xue said: "The two of you went to Nanmengxi to find a forest musk deer with a tuft of red mixed hair on its back, and brought back three xuanji seeds from its latest excrement."

Zi Lan and Liu Yixuan were taken aback when they heard the words, and then both of them said with delicate expressions: "...the disciple takes orders."

The other four cast sympathetic glances at them.

Lin Xue still had that unsmiling expression, and looked directly at the remaining two: "Shen Ziliu, Wu Siren."

The two people who were named took a step forward and said, "The disciple is here."

Lin Xue said: "The two of you go to the ice cave near Taiyi Lake and get a piece of ice soul back."

Shen Ziliu and Wu Siren said: "Yes."

After assigning everyone's tasks, Lin Xue said again: "The time limit for the task is three days. At this hour after three days, no matter whether the task is completed or not, everyone must return here to gather. If you have any questions about the task— —”

Lin Xue glanced at Zhan Ning, who was eager to ask questions after hearing these words, and said, "—Don't ask me. I'm only responsible for assigning tasks and evaluations to you, and you have to solve all the problems yourself."

Zhan Ning: "..."

Lin Xue said: "In addition, I will not interfere with your whereabouts during the day, but you must come back here before Hai hour every night. There are three vacant rooms in the backyard, and you can arrange how you sleep. Of course, you can not rest in the room, but you cannot leave the knot. Boundary. Now, you can start your respective tasks."

Although the task came a little unexpectedly, the six of them quickly adjusted their state and left the wooden house together.They were all coming to Zhongnan Mountain for the first time, and they were very unfamiliar with the locations that Lin Xue had just indicated, but since Lin Xue had already said that all problems could only be solved by themselves, everyone had to figure out their own solutions.

After walking out of the bamboo sea, Liu Yixuan said to the others: "I have heard about the three places Senior Sister Lin mentioned just now. If I remember correctly, they should all be on Zhongnan Mountain, but I don't know their exact locations."

Zi Lan said: "It's not difficult to find these three places. Zhongnan Mountain is not a barren mountain, but a famous mountain. Although there are few people on the top of the mountain, there will definitely be many tourists at the bottom of the mountain. We can pretend to be ordinary tourists and go to other places. People inquire about it."

Everyone felt that Zi Lan's proposal was a good idea, so they all recruited their own wind control weapons and walked down the mountain to control the wind for a while. After seeing tourists starting to appear in the mountains and forests from a distance, the six of them quietly landed on the mountain. In a hidden forest, he immediately collected his immortal energy and spiritual energy and walked down the mountain on foot.

Not long after the group walked down the mountain, they found a mountain path that was obviously often walked by people. After walking along that mountain path, they encountered several groups of tourists who came to climb the mountain.Shen Ziliu had an excellent appearance, and the other five were not bad at all. In addition, although they had lost their immortal energy, the immortal temperament of a cultivator was still there. The six of them stood together very pleasing to the eye, and naturally attracted Attention of many tourists.Therefore, when they inquired about a few tourists taking a nap on the side of the road, the other party chatted with them very enthusiastically, and they talked endlessly.

Half an hour later, a group of six people who had obtained the required information bid farewell to the enthusiastic tourists, divided into three groups according to Lin Xue's order, and officially started the first task of this trial.After confirming that they would not bump into ordinary tourists again, Shen Ziliu and Wu Siren, who was in his group, pulled out their respective wind control weapons and flew in the direction of Taiyi Lake.
