The immortality of mortals

Chapter 40

Yang Xuan piloted the iris boat and flew for two hours with Nie Ying, a beauty in palace attire, before landing on a lush green mountain.

Among the mountains, simple bungalows built of earth and stone form a group of houses.

"This is the residence of new disciples."

Senior sister Nie Ying brushed a trace of her hair and said with a sweet smile: "But all the juniors and sisters are the winners of the competition and will have better places to practice and live."

The stunning senior sister’s smile and words of seemingly casual praise.

A sense of pride and superiority arose in the hearts of everyone who followed, and at the same time, their favorable impression of the senior sister who led the way also increased.

'This woman has a beautiful appearance and is good at dancing. Her popularity and status in the family are definitely very high, and her future achievements are probably not low. '

I have had the experience of struggling in the workplace and society in my previous life.

Yang Xuan clearly understood the communication situation.

While everyone was talking, they walked through the dense group of flat houses and came to a slightly larger stone house.

"After receiving the entry items here, I will take you to your residence."

Nie Ying explained with a smile and knocked on the stone house.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the door opened and an old man in gray clothes came out.

"Uncle Lin, I will bring the new disciples of the conference to collect the items."

Nie Ying lowered her hands respectfully and did not show any dissatisfaction due to the long wait.

"Well, it's almost time."

The old man in gray clothes looked at Yang Xuan and others one by one, turned around and walked into the house without saying anything.

"A yellow silk shirt, a green leaf magic weapon, a set of daily refining tools, a Blazing Sun Sword and a Cold Moon Sword, and a ten-fold storage bag."

In the old man's cold attitude, the ten people received the items one by one and left quickly without daring to stay any longer.

Drive the airship to the next location.

Although Yang Xuan and the others were newbies, they had long been veterans in cultivating immortals, so they put away their storage bags and various magical items without the guidance of senior sister Nie Ying.

It took more than an hour.

Standing on the iris boat, Yang Xuan gradually saw a vast and stretching mountain, with green pines and cypresses, green bamboos, lush vegetation, waterfalls and deep pools, winding streams and mirror-clear lakes.

and the iconic golden maple forest of Yellow Maple Valley.

"Ahead is Xuankun Mountain."

Senior sister Nie Ying smiled and spoke to everyone.

Through the other party's introduction, Yang Xuan already knew that Xuankun Mountain was where the disciples who had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining and above lived.

Everyone can choose a location on the mountain and build a residence at will. The type and size of the house all depends on personal preference, and there are no restrictions at all.

"There is still some time today, so I will leave it to all the juniors and sisters to choose their own accommodation."

Nie Ying landed in front of the mountain and made arrangements with a smile.

"We will gather here again tomorrow, and I will take you to Chuangong Pavilion and Baiji Hall."

"Then there will be Senior Sister Lao."

Everyone thanked them in unison.

After saying a few polite words to each other, Nie Ying pointed out the direction of his residence, then boarded the flying boat and floated away.

Yang Xuan found that several male monks who were traveling with him were looking at the graceful figure of the senior sister in palace attire as she walked away, with expressions of reluctance.

'When you first get started, it's the easiest time to approach when your psychological defenses are low. Senior Sister Nie is so beautiful and so friendly. No wonder she can gain everyone's favor quickly. She really has a knack for winning over people's hearts. '

He thought to himself.

Suddenly, a thick-browed monk in his 30s among the nine people said:
"Everyone, we are all the winners of the Immortal Ascension Conference, and we are destined to be initiated in the same class. Why not stay together and choose a place to live closer to each other so that we can take care of each other in the future..."

"Well, what Fellow Daoist Wang said makes sense, what do you think?"

One man among the nine chimed in. "this……"

The rest of the people looked at each other and communicated, and several of them looked at Yang Xuan, including the two who spoke first.

After all, his performance was the most outstanding in this conference.

In the world of immortality where strength is respected, the opinions of the strong are naturally the most important.

Yang Xuan smiled, but did not offend everyone's good intentions, and nodded to indicate that it was okay.

The top ten will be determined at the same conference and worshiped together in the Immortal Sect.

In the secular world, this is like being a Jinshi in the same ranking. They often get to know each other. In the future, serving as officials in the same dynasty will lead to factions and connections.

After seeing his answer, the other monks had no objections.

Ten people traveled together to Xuankun Mountain.

Different from when Nie Ying was there before, several male cultivators took out their own flying magic weapons, leaving Yang Xuan quite speechless.

Sure enough, among the top ten in the conference, why didn't they prepare the flying magic weapon?

Maybe I just wanted to get close to that stunning senior sister, so I pretended to be a newbie and shamelessly rode a flying boat with her.

Several hours passed.

Wait for others to choose the location of the cave one after another.

Yang Xuan also took a fancy to the location of a protruding stone wall on the side of the mountain, so he bid farewell to his companions and set off in the iris boat.

There are green pines, lush green plants and wild flowers on both sides of this stone wall, as well as a few simple yellow maples. The scenery is quite beautiful.

The protruding stone wall faces the south, with sunshine and breeze from morning to night.

Although the spiritual energy content was only at an ordinary level, Yang Xuan didn't care.

According to his plan, this place is only a temporary residence.

Take out the Lingshuang knife.

With the strength of the top-level magic weapon, Yang Xuan quickly opened a deep cave. During this period, he also used rudimentary solid stone techniques to continuously reinforce the cave walls to prevent collapse.

The undulating rocks at the entrance of the cave were also flattened by him with the light of his knife, forming a solid platform for people to stand on.

Then he took out two formation flags and formed a simple protective barrier at the entrance of the cave.

This kind of elementary semi-restriction can be broken by even low-level Qi refining disciples. The main purpose is to remind outside visitors not to rush in when there is a barrier.

After all, Xuankun Mountain belongs to the Yellow Maple Valley. There are disciples in the valley nearby and there are high-level officials stationed there, so there is no danger at all.

Wait until everything is arranged.

Yang Xuan used the magic weapon to browse around the mountain, and then landed on the carved rock platform.

Passing through the protective barrier and walking inward into the cave, grooves were dug into the walls on both sides, with shiny white stones placed inside.

After walking along the several-foot-long cave, a wide stone chamber appeared.

There are beds, futon cushions, and various daily utensils and supplies prepared in advance in Zihuai Valley.

On the east-facing wall, the stone chamber was further carved out to form a small room, revealing a window through which the outside scenery and sky could be seen.

The overall environment of the cave is cool and dry, and the neat furnishings are arranged in an orderly manner.

Yang Xuan was quite satisfied with the results of half a day's hard work.

It was nighttime now.

He sat cross-legged on the futon and started the routine of entraining qi.

As for swallowing the Foundation Building Pill.

It takes a hundred days of seclusion to refine the medicinal power, and the other nine people are obviously planning to clear up all the things they entered before they can make a breakthrough in seclusion.

Even through today's conversation, Yang Xuan learned that there are several fellow practitioners who even plan to continue practicing and wait until there is no hope of progress in the basic skills before taking the Foundation Building Pill.
