Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 130: The Gratitude Crane
The Huangquan Sect is located deep in the Shiwanda Mountains. It has a long tradition and is mysterious.

As the fourth-level spiritual vein of the Tianyan Immortal Sect had dried up, they had already begun to expand into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

There is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for the Huangquan Cult to plant an undercover agent in the Tianyan Immortal Sect.

I just don’t know how many people have been planted there and whether the middle and senior management have been corrupted.

But this has nothing to do with Xia Chen, he won't expose it.

After all, his main base in the future will be in Mangdang Mountain, and it would not be a wise choice to offend the Huangquan Sect in advance.

Inside the other pink clouds, there are all kinds of dreams.

Some people release their nature and do things that they dare not do in real life.

Some had nightmares, trembling all over and looking terrified.

……

Xia Chen came to the young man who persevered to the end.

The smoke and clouds above his head seemed a little chaotic, making it difficult to see clearly.

I have seen so many people's dreams, but this is the first time I have seen such a situation.

Then, his eyes flashed, and he saw faint light coming out from the chest of the young man who was sleeping soundly on the ground.

He hooked his right hand and a yellow object flew out.

"It turns out that I got a mysterious ancient jade!"

An ancient jade pendant as big as a palm appeared in Xia Chen's hand.

The jade pendant is not complete and has several gaps on it.

The whole body is yellow, but there are a few streaks of blood in it.

The patterns carved in the middle are strange and ancient, as if they were from ancient times.

With his current level of cultivation, he couldn't see what magical use this jade pendant had.

I just feel that it is somewhat extraordinary and should be a rare treasure.

Xia Chen would naturally not take this ancient jade pendant for granted. He would not even bother to do such a tasteless thing.

After all, I already have an omnipotent treasure bag, so why bother competing with a disciple for an opportunity?
Then he put the ancient jade pendant back to its original place.

After experiencing all kinds of strange dreams, Xia Chen took out a piece of white paper, on which were already rows of names written.

Then he took out a computer brush from his treasure bag and wrote on the list:

[Analyze the character of the disciples on the list below through their dreams and give them scores!

Note: The score is in percentage.

Compared with qualifications and character, Xia Chen cares more about the conduct of his disciples.

If one has ulterior motives and is ambitious, what is the use of being a genius?

It would be too difficult to directly let the mini computer calculate the character of the disciples taking the trial.

It's probably D, or even C.

Dreams are projections of human subconsciousness.

By analyzing the content of dreams, a person's character can be calculated.

This greatly reduces the difficulty.

The colorful treasure lights on the mini computer spun rapidly, and soon drove Xia Chen's arms to start scoring at the back of the list.

In just five minutes, the evaluation of more than 300 disciples was completed.

50 points is the passing score.

A total of 180 disciples passed the passing line.

Some disciples even only scored a dozen or twenty points.

These people's hands are basically covered in blood.

And basically, it's all stained with the blood of fellow disciples.

Xia Chen even saw a single-digit number.

This is a handsome outer disciple named Jiang Di. He is eight feet tall and has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. Among this group of disciples, his cultivation is among the best.

But his body was stained with too much blood.

Xia Chen thought of Liu Sheng who had conspired with the disciples of the Tianyin Sect and harmed countless spiritual farmers in the shanty towns.

This guy named Jiang Di is even more sinister and vicious than Liu Sheng, and has committed countless sins.

Xia Chen suddenly remembered that he was still a deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall.

For those disciples whose scores are too low, it is still necessary to exercise the right of law enforcement.

But it’s not possible at this stage.

Even though he has a lot of blood on his hands, if he is caught during the assessment, who would dare to sign up for the next disciple recruitment?

After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, the strong prey on the weak, and one cannot survive by being blindly kind.

This is also the reason why Xia Chen set the passing standard at 50.

If you are under fifty, there really is something wrong with your worldview.

The highest score is eighty-three points.

He is a young man with a simple and honest appearance, with the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining. Like the original owner, he is also a spiritual farmer in the shantytown.

The young man who accidentally found the ancient jade also scored 71 points.

The next day.

Many disciples woke up from their slumber one after another.

They only felt that they were full of energy and their spirits were stronger than ever before.

There were no scars or discomfort on the body.

"What exactly is this level testing? Why don't I have any impression of it?"

"I remember that I fainted shortly after entering the illusion array. Could I be eliminated just like that?"

"Me too, it seems I smelled some special fragrance, and then I don't remember anything!"

……

At this time, Zhao Kui came out with a list in his hand and posted it on the wall of the palace. Then he said to everyone, "Those whose names are on the list can become my disciples of Mangdang Mountain. The rest of the disciples will each receive five spirit eggs and a pound of spirit beast meat. Distribute now!"

"Five spiritual eggs? One pound of spiritual beast meat?"

Many disciples were delighted as this was considered a windfall.

Although I didn't become a disciple of Mangdang Mountain, at least my trip to the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts was not in vain.

At this time, a disciple came forward and said indignantly: "Elder, I am under 30 years old, my cultivation has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, and I am an inner sect disciple. Why am I not on the list?"

It was Jiang Di.

Zhao Kui said calmly, "When I recruit disciples at Mangdang Mountain, my cultivation aptitude is secondary. I focus on character. If your character is not up to standard, no matter how powerful your cultivation is, I will not accept you!"

"I……"

Jiang Di was about to say something in defense, but in the end he swallowed it back.

After all, that person is the deacon of the Law Enforcement Hall.

If it really gets out of hand, it would be bad if something was found out.

He remained silent and retreated back into the crowd.

Three days later.

A spaceship about ten meters long rose slowly from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and headed towards the Shiwan Mountains.

In the center of the spacecraft, there is a pillar about ten feet long, with two long fan blades on the top that are constantly rotating.

This spaceship was carefully built by Xia Chen, and its core component is naturally the bamboo dragonfly house in the center.

The house-shaped bamboo dragonfly is actually an enlarged version of the bamboo dragonfly, and essentially still relies on its internal anti-gravity device.

Naturally, its flying speed is not as fast as the Qingyun flying boat of the Sinong Palace, let alone the Chixia flying boat of Wu Zhongtian.

But the advantage is stability.

Six hours later.

The group finally arrived at Mangdang Mountain.

The main peak is about three thousand feet high, with lush vegetation and green clouds surrounding it. The whole peak is glittering and colorful, as if it were carved from jade, with mist surging and a fairy-like charm floating in the air.

A stream flowed down from the mountain, and formed a bottomless pool of water with a radius of more than one mu below.

Beside the pond, there are sparse pearl grasses and clear water washing the sand. There are spiritual fish such as golden-whiskered carp and white jade crucian carp that occasionally float to the surface. Near the pond, there is a protruding rock with an old turtle squatting on it. It is unknown how many years the turtle has survived, and it exudes an extremely terrifying aura.

The spaceship landed at the top of the peak. As soon as everyone stepped out of the spaceship, a strong and rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed over them. They all felt moist and fresh with every breath, and the breeze brushed their faces, as if they were floating away with the wind. They just wanted to stand like this forever and didn't want to move.

"Everyone, welcome to Mangdang Mountain!"

Xia Chen came out to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Meet the Chief!"

One hundred and eighty disciples bowed and saluted with respectful expressions.

"Where are Jiang Yao, Tong Qiao, and Wang Hao?"

Xia Chen asked.

"The disciple is here!"

Three disciples walked out of the queue, two men and one woman.

"I would like to accept you as my true disciples, are you willing?" Xia Chen said.

The three of them were overjoyed, looked at each other, and quickly knelt down and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

"good!"

Xia Chen nodded.

Among the three disciples in front of him, Tong Qiao is the young man who accidentally obtained the ancient jade pendant.

Wang Hao had the highest conduct score among the more than 300 disciples.

This kind of person is worth training and can be entrusted with important tasks in the future.

Jiang Yao, on the other hand, was a female disciple. She had very poor roots and only five kinds of mixed spiritual roots.

His cultivation level is also average, only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

The reason why she was accepted as a disciple was because of her extremely high qualifications and character.

As early as in the first round of illusion, she was the only one who saw through in a very short time that everything around her was fake.

Even if you step on a tiger's tail, you can remain calm.

If he possessed three types of spiritual roots, he would definitely be able to condense into a golden elixir and become a real person.

Moreover, her conduct was not bad either, with a score of 70.

Shang Yu and Zhao Kui also recruited some disciples, whose cultivation, conduct, qualifications and character were all good.

They will be the inner disciples of Mangdang Mountain in the future.

"This is your senior sister, Zhou Yun!"

As soon as Xia Chen finished speaking, Xiao Yuner jumped out from behind him with a smile on her face.

"Foundation-building monk..."

Everyone swallowed, shocked beyond words.

How old is he, yet he has such cultivation? Could he be the next Lu Bai?
"From now on, I will be your senior sister. You must obey my orders. Do you understand?"

Xiao Yuner put her hands on her hips.

"I will follow the orders of the senior sister!"

All the disciples bowed in unison.

Afterwards, Xia Chen started to give lectures again, and passed on half of the "Small Five Elements Hunyuan Gong Fa" to his disciples.

This is the practice method that I wrote with a computer pencil when I was in the Xuzi shantytown. It is moderate and peaceful, easy to understand, and suitable for all spiritual roots.

Moreover, the degree of compatibility of this technique is quite good, about 70%, which is much better than the "Yi Mu Chang Chun Gong".

There are a total of thirty-nine peaks in Mangdang Mountain, enough to accommodate a group of disciples.

In addition, a total of four foundation-building elders took refuge in Mangdang Mountain.

Three of them are in the initial stage of foundation building and are quite old, comparable to Shang Yu back then.

The other one was in the middle stage of foundation building. She was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her forties. Her name was Lu He.

She was originally an outer sect elder of the Stepping Immortal Temple, but because there were too many trivial matters in the temple, she was simply sent out to Mangdang Mountain to find a sacred peak and concentrate on practicing in order to wait for a breakthrough.

Zhao Kui and Shang Yu arranged nearly two hundred disciples to cut down trees and build palaces and houses.

The several palaces on the main peak were all collected by Zhou Yang from the Tianyan Immortal Sect in exchange for the middle-grade treasure, the Map of Mountains, Rivers and Flowing Water.

This is basically used for the chief monk Xia Chen to practice or hold meetings.

Even Zhao Kui and Shang Yu had to open up their own caves, let alone the new disciples.
-
The main hall of the peak master.

[Item Name: Crane's Gratitude Combination (Fragments)]

[Item level: D (upgradable)]

[Item Level: If you help a crane in trouble, she will transform into a human form to repay you]

A walnut-colored wooden box appeared in Xia Chen's hand. It was about seven inches long and half a foot wide. It had an antique flavor and a surface as smooth as jade.

The wooden box itself was not heavy and looked like there was nothing inside.

"Crane... humanoid... and repaying a favor? This is quite interesting, but it's actually a fragment-shaped item!"

Xia Chen smacked his lips.

Fragment-type props are rare, and most of them are props of little use.

It is basically used to synthesize new permanent items.

To be precise, the only useful thing is the Time Belt.

Even so, it was still the Taihua Immortal who used his immense magical power to interfere with the system and extracted it.

As for the combination of the God of Fortune and the God of Plague, it is a time-limited prop and is not included in this list.

The peak master's hall is the core of the mountain. Even Zhao Kui and Shang Yu cannot enter it casually, but there is no need to worry about anyone breaking in.

Then, Xia Chen called Gugu over.

After all, it is a fragmented prop, which will disappear after being used once, so it is natural to copy it once to maximize the benefits.

Today, Gugu is strong and proud, with a body two feet long and feathers all over his body that seem to be made of gold, as majestic as a rooster.

Now it has been advanced from the original first-grade superior grade to the second grade.

If converted into item level, it is D level.

The power is greatly enhanced.

Catch the cuckoo and point its head towards the wooden box.

Suddenly, two beams of light shot out.

"Cuckoo..."

Gugu flapped his wings and flew into the wallpaper world again.

After doing all this, Xia Chen gently opened the lid of the wooden box.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light surged out from inside, illuminating the entire hall.

He couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.

After three or five breaths, the light went out.

Immediately afterwards, a "puff" sound came from the wooden box, and a cloud of pink smoke burst out.

A loud crane cry was heard.

A crane appeared in the pink smoke.

It has unique colors, clear black and white, a heart of iron and blood, nothing superfluous, no affectation, its feathers are as white as snow, and it radiates an elegant and holy light, as if it had descended from the fairyland.

The pink smoke disappeared and the crane landed on the ground, moving lightly. Every move it made was full of grace and harmony, and its appearance had a mysterious charm.

Before Xia Chen could take a closer look.

The crane cried once again, and there was a hint of arrogance in the sound, as loud as the sound of jade.

Then it spread its wings and flew out of the hall.

Xia Chen followed behind.

After all, according to the system introduction, the cranes will definitely encounter some difficulties when they go out.

As long as you rescue it, it will transform into a human form to repay you.

In the morning light, the cranes spread their wings and fly high, their shadows set against the golden sunlight, making them even more beautiful and moving, like a beautiful painting.

But after flying for an incense stick of time, still nothing happened.

"Could it be that I followed too closely?"

Xia Chen frowned and then slowed down his flying speed.
