Chapter 20 What I Learned from the Mountain Gate (Part [-])
The Foreign Affairs Hall of Tianhuan Island is located on the mountainside of the main peak. It is a simple and tall palace.When Cui Ning arrived, he found that Qi Xiaotian was talking with that Junior Sister Long.

Seeing Cui Ning coming, Qi Xiaotian seemed to be happy about something, and was about to speak, when a black dot flew from afar, and stopped in front of several people in the blink of an eye.

It turned out that it was the young man surnamed Zhang who drove his flying boat over.

"You go in with me later, remember not to talk nonsense and offend some bad-tempered seniors, don't blame me for not being able to protect you."

Before the three of them came up to greet them, the sound transmission of the young man surnamed Zhang rang in their ears.

The three nodded obediently when they saw this, and did not continue to communicate, and followed the young man surnamed Zhang into the foreign affairs hall.

There are people coming and going in this foreign affairs hall, and various monks fly in and out from time to time, and all kinds of magic weapons for flying against the wind under the monks' feet are also dazzling, which is really beautiful.

During the process of entering the hall, Cui Ning and the others also met some monks who were walking around, most of them were around the eleventh or second floor of the Qi refining period.

As soon as he saw the young man surnamed Zhang, he immediately greeted him respectfully, and even called him "Master Zhang", and the young man surnamed Zhang was also accustomed to returning the salute.

As soon as he stepped into the hall of the foreign affairs hall, what Cui Ning saw was a magical wall, which seemed to be paved with white jade, smooth as a mirror, with lines of words sliding on it.

These words are the names of some tasks. The monks who entered the hall gathered under the jade wall to watch, pointing at the words on the wall from time to time to discuss, and some words suddenly became dim during the conversation. There are also several monks wearing armbands with the words "Foreign Affairs Hall" on the side, who are doing registration work.

The scene in the hall made Cui Ning feel like returning to the stock hall of his previous life, and he lost his mind for a while.

"Senior Brother Cui, Senior Brother Cui!"

Qi Xiaotian, a blue-clothed monk, tugged La Cuining's sleeve, bringing him back to reality from his trance.

"Uncle Zhang told us to go there." Qi Xiaotian pointed to the right side and whispered to Cui Ning.

At this time, Cui Ning's eyes turned to the right side of the main hall, where there was a counter, and he saw the young man surnamed Zhang talking with the person on the counter, and that Junior Sister Long followed closely behind Uncle Zhang.

Cui Ning and Qi Xiaotian saw it and hurried over.

At this time, the monk on the counter also took out three storage bags with a big smile on his face.

"These are starter kits for newcomers, including a magic robe to avoid water and fire, a flying magic weapon, a bottle of Qingyuan Pill for strengthening the foundation and cultivating vitality, a book of Qingfeng Jue Qi Refining Chapter and a book of basic magical powers for practice, Brothers and sisters, please put it away.

"In addition, a few juniors and sisters need to register their names, the location of the cave and the realm. In the future, they can receive two Qingyuan pills every month.

If you are lucky enough to break through to the foundation building stage and come here to update the information, the benefits will naturally be different. "

When they heard the content and monthly benefits of the starter kit for newcomers, several of them were very excited.

"Finally I can learn the basic supernatural powers." Cui Ning said with great joy in his heart.

"Wait a minute, I remember that there is also a set of Dongfu array flags."

After Cui Ning and the others registered the information, they took this set of gift packages for newcomers. Before they had time to look through them, they heard the hesitant voice of a young man surnamed Zhang.

"Dongfu formation flag?"

Several people looked at each other, and then at the young monk on the counter.

The expression of the young monk changed slightly, and then he said with a smile on his face:
"Uncle Zhang, I'll tell you the truth. In the past, there was indeed a set of Dongfu array flags in the starter suits for newcomers.

However, many pavilions have been built in the gate over the years, and the new monks have also lived in the pavilions, so the Dongfu formation flag is useless. "

The face of the young man surnamed Zhang changed for a while, and after a moment of deep thought, he yelled at the young monk,
"If it is not clearly stipulated in the door that this set of array flags can be omitted, then you must give it. I don't know who gave you the courage to dare to take these cultivation supplies!"

The young monk's complexion changed drastically, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead.

"I don't know who it is, so it's Junior Brother Zhang. Junior Brother Zhang doesn't take care of your spirit beasts, why come to me to bully the little monks in the Foreign Affairs Hall?"

At this moment, a malicious voice came from the stairs on the second floor.

Everyone looked intently, only to see a middle-aged monk in the Foundation Establishment period with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, walking towards them with a smile on his face.

"Junior Brother Zhang, are these the new disciples? It doesn't look like there are many good seedlings!"

This person still smiled at the young man surnamed Zhang. As for Cui Ning, the newcomers in the Qi refining period, he didn't look straight at all.

"Brother Zheng! What do you mean by this sentence?"

The young man surnamed Zhang seemed to be stimulated by the visitor's words. When he saw the middle-aged monk, his face flushed and he asked loudly.

The monks in the main hall seemed to be attracted by the noise here, and they all looked over.

Upon seeing this, the monk surnamed Zheng frowned inadvertently, but he still replied lightly.

"Junior Brother, you also know that the income of resources in the sect has been tight these years, and the share of resources collected by the main island from the sub-islands is also increasing year by year.

Shouldn't we as deacons think about the sect? "The monk surnamed Zheng laughed, changed the subject, and said with a righteous face.

Then he rolled his eyes again and became grinning, "If all the nephews really lack such a set of formation flags, I, Zheng, will reluctantly take them out of my belongings, hahahaha."

Cui Ning's face remained unchanged when he heard this, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Qi Xiaotian and that junior sister Long also changed their colors slightly when they heard the words, they lowered their heads and stopped talking.It also seemed that he didn't have a good impression of this person.

"Hmph, Senior Brother Zheng, don't be a nice person here. I have no right to speak about the formation flag, but I, Senior Brother Qin, will definitely intervene, because there are people that Senior Brother Qin wants here. If that's the case, not many I'll accompany you." With that said, the young man surnamed Zhang was about to leave.

The middle-aged monk originally wanted to continue talking, but when he heard the words "Senior Brother Qin", a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.

Then he said ruthlessly, "Since there is still Brother Qin's favorite disciple here, then I, Mr. Zheng, may not open the door of convenience."

As he said that, he winked at the little monk at the counter. This little monk was also a good reader, so he immediately understood.

I saw the little monk took out three new storage bags from another shelf, put them on the counter and said to Cui Ning and the others with a smile:
"Brothers and sisters, please bother to return the ones just now. I brought a new set here. A magic robe, a flying magic weapon, a bottle of Qingyuan Dan, a book of qi refining formulas and basics. Supernatural powers, of course there is also a set of Dongfu formation flags." He also specially emphasized the tone on the "Dongfu formation flag".

"Hmph, it's almost the same, you three change quickly, let's go."

After finishing speaking, the young man surnamed Zhang dragged the three of them onto the treasure boat, and as soon as he urged the formula, he fled out of the hall like lightning.

Seeing Junior Brother Zhang leaving the Foreign Affairs Hall, the middle-aged monk's expressions were still uncertain.After bowing his head and thinking for a while, he snorted coldly, then turned and went back to the second floor.

＊＊＊＊＊＊
"Uncle Zhang, who is the senior brother Qin you mentioned just now? He seems very powerful."

Qi Xiaotian asked his own question carelessly.

Cui Ning and that junior sister Long also showed a hint of interest on their faces.

The young man surnamed Zhang saw it in his eyes, and said lightly: "Do you know why the man surnamed Zheng who is in the same realm as me dares to embarrass me like this?"

Everyone shook their heads, and this Master Zhang sighed and began to explain to the three of them.

Originally, this Uncle Zhang also had a master of Jindan period, who was very powerful and doted on his only apprentice.

However, when performing a mission more than ten years ago, the door found that the soul lamp left by it suddenly became dim, and it dissipated shortly thereafter.

The soul lamp is a special kind of magic weapon that retains the monk's spiritual consciousness and makes it into a lamp flame.The only function is to allow some cultivating sects to know the life and death conditions of their disciples outside.

When the soul lamp goes out, it naturally means that the corresponding monk has passed away.

What is even more tragic is that the young man surnamed Zhang has not found the bones of his master until now.

Without his master as the backing "Master Zhang", he has become less talkative in the sect.

The senior brother Qin mentioned by the young man with the surname Zhang was named Qin Ming. He was originally just a homeless boy, and he has been unknown since he worshiped in Qingfeng Pavilion.

Later, there was a chance to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage, and was accepted as a closed disciple by the elder Jin Guang, who became a sword cultivator. With a light sword, he became famous among the Foundation Establishment Stage monks .

"If it weren't for Senior Brother Qin taking care of me everywhere, I might not even be able to protect your most basic welfare this time."

After finishing speaking, the face of the young man surnamed Zhang was also sad, and then he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Cui Ning and the others did not continue to ask questions, and sat quietly in the treasure boat.
