When they went down the mountain, Mo Zichen deliberately paid attention to the three peaks where the disciples lived. Indeed, he saw people constantly going down the mountain, all lined up like them. Du Guanlan, whom she met on the first day, was also a team leader. There were seven teams in total, five of which were led by direct disciples, and two were led by inner door disciples.
Taihua's successor, Zheng Qingxuan, took in six direct disciples and had twenty to thirty inner door disciples. Only these people were of superior innate quality, and he focused on cultivating them. The remaining outer door and registered disciples numbered nearly a hundred, all taught by the direct disciples, who would form the foundation of the school's power in the future.
Among the inner disciples, there were also two who had formed a golden elixir, only their ages were not considered young. Mo Zi Chen saw them for the first time this time and they were also among the leaders.
They had a few more inner disciples from the foundation-building period backing them up on this trip, aside from Du Guanyun.
Mo Zi Chen had been in Yingzhou for more than half a year, and it was her first time going down the mountain. She walked down the long jade bridge, passing through each gate. Now that she had made some progress in her cultivation, she could probably feel that each of these gates actually contained the spiritual energy of an array formation. If they were all activated at the same time, their power might be comparable to a Yuan Ying cultivator's single strike.
Even now, she thinks of the two primordial infants who made a great repair in the Candle Sky Temple, using their one-strike strength to cut through the heavenly and earthly seals, and forcibly breaking into the secret realm. That kind of divine power still makes her feel yearnful.
Ren Gengxin that little guy, although he suffered a bit in the front, but was able to enter under the door of Jianzun as a disciple, it can be said that his great opportunity, now should be stronger than himself?
She followed the team while indulging in wild thoughts, and at this moment they passed through the last gate, and the scene before her eyes suddenly changed again.
The distant mountains behind, at this time all hidden in the clouds and fog, can only vaguely see the lush and continuous mountain range, and in front of you, there is no original Yunzhou mountain range towering, but also extremely rugged large tracts of mountains.
Here are strange peaks and rocks, the path is narrow. Standing beside her, Guo Yue whispered: "The gate of our exit from the mountain is basically among these few mountain ridges. In recent days, there have been many monsters rampaging here, and many fellow disciples have been injured when they left the mountain."
Mo Zi Chen felt curious and asked: "Isn't it said that everyone is not allowed to go out recently, and why are we going down the mountain so frequently?"
Guo Yue said, "Although we are a Xianmen sect, we can't completely ignore secular affairs. Moreover, we also need to communicate with other sects outside, and there are medicine fields and spiritual stone mines outside the mountain, all of which require disciples who handle secular affairs."
She furrowed her brow and said with concern, "Elder Sister has already said that we should withdraw all the disciples from outside the mountain. Such a large enterprise would also be abandoned or sold to others, it's really a pity."
Mo Zi Chen was about to speak again when Du Guan Yun's eyes had already turned sideways: "Shut up! Be careful not to disturb those demonic beasts!"
Before they went down the mountain, each of them was given a talisman to wear on their chest, which seemed to have a hidden breath effect. At least if Mo Zi Chen closed his eyes now, he couldn't feel the presence of others.
Mo Zi Chen looked at Fu Xin Xiang and thought: This symbol is much more powerful than the one drawn by Wei Hua, I wonder whose handwriting it is.
At this time, she suddenly heard a low voice in her ear: "Ju Shi Xiong is kind and simple-minded, not so cunning. He has a good affinity with you, but I hope you don't have too many thoughts of taking advantage of him, otherwise, I will make you regret it!"
Mo Zi Chen raised her head to look, and didn't know when Du Guan Yun had already arrived at her side, speaking softly to her. The people around them seemed not to have heard, two foundation building disciples were leading the way in front.
She saw Du Guan Yun staring at her, so she stared back without hesitation: "You're very concerned about Ju Shixiong, but do you really consider him a friend? At least I wouldn't stop my friends from interacting with the person they like."
Du Guanyun was choked by her words and glared at her again before turning around and walking back.
They walked in circles in the mountains and finally stopped on an open space. Du Guanyun took out a large pile of objects, about one foot long, with both ends sharpened like short spears, from the big backpack behind him and said: "Each person come to take one!"
Everyone then took turns dividing up the remaining items, leaving only one longer one left. Du Guan Yun picked it up and said: "Next, insert these short spears into the ground in order, remembering each person's position is different, absolutely cannot be wrong. Then hide, hold the command flag, wait for my signal, form an array in order."
Mo Zi Chen patted the short spear in his hand, which was very elastic and had many textures carved on it. He thought to himself: "Ji Er has been refining this for days? It's rare that he has a kind heart and helped me refine my protective spirit device."
That piece of Tianlang Teng's refined law robe had been put on her body, and the pearl was also tied to the back of Parrot's leg, which was very small and did not affect its movement.
She saw a fellow disciple of Zhuji standing beside her, and quietly walked up to him, curiously asking: "Zhu Shixiong, what are these powerful magical artifacts? Can they subdue those demonic beasts?"
That Shixiong Zhu Mingyan is an inner disciple, who only got to build his foundation after the age of 100. Now he has turned white hair into black and looks like a middle-aged man. He usually smiles and is very gentle with these new disciples. Upon hearing this, he smiled and replied: "This is a method thought up by Dashi Jie, jointly refined by two Shixiong, a batch of array instruments. The material of these short spears is also called 'Jin Tie Bu Fu', a unique wood material that emits a fragrance to lure those demonic beasts. After luring them in, we can activate the array method, do you see the array pattern engraved on this? This way, we can hunt and kill large numbers of low-level demonic beasts. As for those few high-ranking ones, naturally, Shijie will take care of them personally."
Mo Zi Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up my doubts!" Then she ran back to her own position. However, she also noticed that the short spear in Du Guan Yun's hand seemed different from theirs, with a length of about half a foot longer on both ends, and the head was blunt and round, with something seemingly embedded on it. He just held it in his hand, without inserting it into the ground.
They inserted their short spears into the ground and then hid behind rocks or in thickets of trees.
Du Guanyun took out a talisman, ignited it, and the smoke drifted onto these short spears, lingering for a long time without dispersing. Slowly, a fragrance wafted out.
Mo Zi Chen stretched out her nose to sniff, and couldn't help but want to cover it. The smell was really too unbearable, both fishy and stinky. How could Master Zhu say this was a fragrant scent?
