People are in the heavens, starting as Li Xingyun

Chapter 362 If God could give him another chance to choose again...

"Don't be so nervous. I don't mean to kill you."

He turned his gaze back to the time traveler next to him who had a pale face. After seeing his appearance, Shen Sui Xin said with amusement.

"Really, really?!"

Hearing this, the despair in Huang Tao's eyes turned into hope again.

"Well, after all, you no longer have the golden finger. You are basically just an ordinary mortal. It makes no difference to me whether you are dead or alive."

Huang Tao: ()
How to say it, although this is indeed a very pertinent truth, he still had the urge to punch the pretty boy in front of him hard.

Of course, it's just a thought. After all, your life and death are now in the hands of the other party. Even whether you can continue to survive in this world depends on the other party's mood. It's better to be honest.

"That's right. I like honest people who are hardworking, sensible and obedient. I think it's right to develop in this direction in the future."

Huang Tao: "..."

"Yes, I can read your thoughts. I didn't do it before because your golden finger blocked my ability, but now it's gone. Your thoughts are naturally clear to me."

Shen Suixin ignored Huang Tao's livid face, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you didn't know about this just now, so I will never take your intention to beat me up to heart, and I won't make things difficult for you because of this matter in the future!"

Huang Tao: (╥﹏╥)
Boss, can you give me one more chance to look back, just once, and just pretend that what happened just now never happened?
"Okay, let's get back to the point. I'm going to give you two choices now."

Without paying too much attention to Huang Tao's ups and downs, Shen Suixin said casually: "First, I can let you continue to live in this fairy sword world. As long as you don't go against me in the future or affect my plans, whether you go to Shushan to seek immortality or something else, I will not take the initiative to interfere. I will just pretend that I don't know you exist."

Huang Tao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that, but when he glanced at the silver stone in the other person's hand, he remembered that he had lost his golden finger and no longer had the ability to go back in time.

And just as Shen Sui Xin said, without the golden finger, he was just a lazy programmer, no different from an ordinary person. How could he survive in this world where fairies, demons, gods and monsters could appear at any time?

Go to Mount Shu to seek the truth?
Don't be funny. With his small body, I'm afraid he won't even reach Shuchuan and will die on the way.

"Boss, what is the second option?"

After thinking for a while, Huang Tao decided that he should first listen to what the other party's second option was and then make a decision after comparing the pros and cons.

"The second option is also easy."

Shen Sui Xin raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Haven't you passed my test before? In that case, why don't you just become my disciple? I will give you the status of a registered disciple, and you will practice with me from now on."

"As for your future achievements... well, I can't say that I can let you punch the Emperor of Heaven and kick the Devil Lord, but you still have hope of becoming an immortal."

"But as a price, the rest of your life will be under my watch. You will have almost no freedom until I leave this world."

"How about these two options, which one do you want to choose?"

"Ah this..."

Huang Tao scratched his head, looking very conflicted.

One has freedom but no security; the other has security but loses precious freedom...

Damn it! Why do you make him do this kind of multiple choice question? Can’t you just take all of them?

"Ha! 'Having it all' is a privilege only for the strong. For a rookie like you, it's good enough to have any choices. Yet you're still so picky."

Reading Huang Tao's thoughts, Shen Sui Xin sneered disdainfully, and then said impatiently: "Hurry up, I'll give you another ten seconds to think about it. If you delay any longer, I'll punch you to death, and you won't need to do multiple-choice questions anymore."

"Hey! Boss! Didn't you say you wouldn't kill me?"

"My fist is bigger, so I have the final say!"

Shen Sui Xin showed his sandbag-sized fist and snorted coldly, "Steamed bun, are you not convinced?"

"..."

Damn it! Is this the ugly face of a strong man? If I become awesome in the future, I will definitely be even more shameless!

Maybe he had forgotten that Shen Sui Xin had the ability to read minds. Huang Tao sneered at her in his heart, then started thinking quickly and finally made a decision before the ten-second countdown ended.

"Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

Freedom is important, but compared with life, it is obviously not important enough.

Moreover, looking at the shameless face of the other party just now, who knows if he will still be under close surveillance by the other party after he makes his choice? He might even be careless on purpose and choke to death while drinking water because he takes his left foot first when going out one day!

"That's a good reason. We can try it out some other day."

Shen Sui Xin looked at Huang Tao with a smile, and for a moment he didn't know how to evaluate this guy.

Although he is bold, he is also very cautious in doing things. When he sees that he cannot handle a problem, he will immediately give in. He is flexible and never drags his feet.

But you can say he is timid. He clearly knows that he can read minds, but he still can't help complaining about himself in his heart. He is simply madly testing the brink of death.

"He's an interesting person. If we train him well, he might achieve something in the future even without the golden finger."

Thinking of this, Shen Sui Xin waved his hand, used the space-shifting technique, and brought the two back to the Biyou Palace.

The difference is that Shen Sui Xin returned to the palace in Heaven, while Huang Tao was thrown onto the ladder. Without any preparation, his body was pressed to the ground by the gravity that increased several times in an instant. It took him a long time to barely stand up.

Just then, he heard that familiar, hateful laugh with a hint of teasing again.

"I've thought about it carefully. Since we've already gone back in time, the results of the previous trials should also be reset to zero."

"How about this, you climb again. If you can still meet my requirements, what I said before will still count, and you can be promoted directly to a direct disciple!" "Finally, because you just cursed me in your heart, the pressure on you now is three times that of others... Work hard, I believe in you!"

"..."

After a long silence, Huang Tao looked up at the sky speechlessly, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

He once had a chance of freedom in front of him, but he didn't cherish it. He regretted it after he lost it. If God could give him another chance to choose again, he would definitely say three words to a petty time traveler:

Please let go!
……

"Master, please bow to me, my disciple."

Fast forward to one month later, with the tenth mortal who passed his test setting foot on the Biyou Palace, the Jie Tian Sect's audition to recruit disciples came to an end.

Just like the situation before time went back, in addition to Huang Tao, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru passed the test again, and then three men and four women were selected one after another.

Among these seven people, the oldest is already in his early thirties, and the youngest is fifteen or sixteen years old. They are all geniuses with extremely strong personalities or outstanding aptitude for cultivating immortals.

In addition, with the addition of the siblings Chen Jiahui and Chen Xueling, Shen Sui Xin now has twelve disciples, which is just the right match for the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect. This can be considered a deliberate evil trick of his.

The name of the sect was plagiarized from Jiejiao, and the standard for accepting disciples was based on Chenjiao. Next, some magic weapons and instruments related to Taishang Laojun were refined, such as the banana fan, purple gold gourd, wind and fire cushion, etc. This could be regarded as the integration of the Three Pure Ones in another sense.

On the other side, as the disciple selection activity came to an end, the phantoms of the Biyou Heavenly Palace that were floating in various places on earth and the towering ladders that reached the sky also disappeared, as if everything before was just an illusion.

But everyone knew that was not the case, because in the past month, most of the people who had tried to climb the ladder but failed miserably heard a voice in their minds after disappearing from the Biyou Palace.

The voice told them that the Jie Tian Sect also existed in the human world and its headquarters was located in Pingyang County. As long as they were willing to abide by the sect's rules and teachings, they could join the Jie Tian Sect as ordinary teachers and gain the opportunity to learn advanced martial arts and even the knowledge of immortal cultivators.

After learning the news, everyone who originally thought they had missed their chance to become immortals cheered up again and immediately rushed to Pingyang County. For a while, the place was so crowded that it was almost like the Spring Festival travel rush in another world.

In short, after a messy screening, the number of teachers and allies of the Jie Tian Sect increased rapidly at an extremely exaggerated speed.

Not to mention Pingyang County, even in the surrounding cities, if you randomly grab a person on the street, it is likely that he is either a teacher of Jietian Sect or a relative or friend of those teachers...

It is no exaggeration to say that if Shen Sui Xin wanted to imitate Bai Yue now and turn the Jie Tian Sect into a brainwashing cult organization, he might be more suitable to be the final boss of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 game than him, and the kind that cannot be defeated without cheating.

Closer to home.

As the Jie Tian Sect expanded in size, the number of teachers also skyrocketed, which led to a shortage of contribution points for exchanging various martial arts manuals.

To this end, after some thought, Shen Sui Xin formulated five methods of obtaining contribution points in the original rules of the church.

The first is to exchange natural treasures.

For example, hundreds of years old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, rare treasures in the world, and even magical weapons can be exchanged.

However, the contribution points that can be exchanged are not much, and the cost-effectiveness is low, because these things can be bought with money or power in the secular world. Except for some people who are not short of money, few people will choose this method to obtain contribution points;
The second type is teaching guidance, which is similar to the form of tutoring. Those already famous masters will teach the martial arts of the school step by step, guaranteeing that you will learn it, and collect contribution points according to the proportion;
The third way is to hand over your own martial arts secrets to the Jie Tian Sect and put it on the exchange list. If someone exchanges for this martial arts in the future, the original owner can receive contribution points according to the proportion.

But so far, very few people are willing to do so.

On the one hand, they are influenced by traditional ideas and are unwilling to pass on their skills to outsiders. On the other hand, it is a matter of face. If their skills, which they boast are so miraculous, are made public and it is found that the contribution value they can redeem is less than one thousand points, they will undoubtedly be laughed at.

Fortunately, more and more people are willing to disclose their knowledge, because after learning the martial arts of Jie Tian Sect, even they themselves look down on their own martial arts;
The fourth type is to complete the tasks assigned by the Jie Tian Sect, which are basically some chivalrous deeds, similar to the ninja missions in the Naruto world, such as catching a flower thief who appears in a certain place, and eliminating bandits in a certain place.

This type of mission has high rewards and there are quite a few of them, and it is especially popular among the younger generation of heroes and heroines. One can earn contribution points while improving one's personal reputation, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

The last type is to deal with evil demons and monsters, as well as the strange creatures that have appeared frequently in recent years.

This is the most dangerous method, but it is the method that earns the most contribution points. As long as you can provide information about monsters and monsters, and it is later confirmed to be true, you can get at least 300 contribution points as a reward.

If you can kill evil demons or strange creatures, you will also be rewarded with 1,000 contribution points.

Just like that, over the next few years, a vigorous manhunt was launched throughout the Central Plains. The demons and monsters that were once avoided at all costs have now become hot commodities.

Some people even fought for them, especially the weird ones, and some respected martial arts masters among them.

This was because their beloved, selfless, and great leader had said that in addition to rewarding contribution points, if enough monsters were killed, there would be hope of increasing one's authority within the Jie Tian Sect, which could be exchanged for higher-level skills and techniques, and even receive personal instruction from the leader.

This is also the only way that the members of the Jie Tian Sect currently know of to increase their authority. How can they not be excited about this?

It's a pity that monsters are hard to come by, and their number is even rarer than natural treasures. In addition, their methods are strange and their vitality is tenacious. Even if the power of most of the Central Plains martial arts world is mobilized to dig three feet into the ground, there are only about a hundred monsters that can be found and successfully killed.

In desperation, some people began to turn their attention to areas outside the Central Plains.

Miao territory, the Western Regions, the desert, the ice field, and even... the blessed land where the immortal cultivation forces reside!

……

The Shushan School in the Legend of Sword and Fairy world is located in the vast mountains of western Sichuan, which is the so-called Bashu area.

The specific location should be the Hengduan Mountains and the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, adjacent to the Chengdu Plain.

If it were placed in modern society, this place would naturally be a good place for tourism. It is surrounded by many famous scenic spots such as Jiuzhaigou Valley and Siguniang Mountain, which are enough to feast your eyes.

However, in this era of relatively backward entertainment culture, there has been no tourism development. The road to Shu is difficult and the mountain roads are rugged, so don't expect to see the sights. But you can see many pandas and golden monkeys running and playing in the mountains and forests.

As for the legendary Shushan Sect, its traces are so elusive that it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.

But on this day, a bright stream of light streaked across the sky and finally stopped in the sky of the Bashu land.
