Chapter 22 Going down the mountain to experience
Things should have spiraled out of control, but after Anzhi returned to the Sanqing Blessed Land, the whole situation seemed calm, and Fan Jin, who had been summoned to the Sanqing Hall by the Jade Void Sect Leader, had not yet returned.

Anzhi stood in the blessed pavilion, looking at the towering Fenglei Pagoda in the distance. His heart had already descended the mountain, ready to roam the world and uphold justice.

“Back then, our ancestor’s growth experience was the same as yours. He cultivated for a year and then went down the mountain to gain experience.” The spirit snake coiled on the windowsill next to An Zhizhi, telling Meng Hong’s story: “After he came back from down the mountain, he was already a Nine-Coin Demon Exorcist.”

After hearing this, Anzhi asked expectantly, "Do you think they will let me go down the mountain?"

The spirit snake shook its head: "I don't know. Luo Ling and Elder Taiqing won't let you go down the mountain easily; they will obstruct you."

Being able to descend the mountain is something all the disciples of Sanqing Palace dream of. After all, the outside world is vast, and everyone wants to see it. They don't want to be confined to Sanqing Mountain. In particular, the disciples who have descended the mountain find it unforgettable and yearn to go down even more.

Facing the future, Anzhi is both hopeful and confused, and can only follow in Menghong's footsteps.

"Back then, the first demon Meng Hong subdued after descending the mountain was the Spirit Demon, who almost died in the Dream Imperial City..."

"After battling the monster for three days, abandoning all distractions, Meng Hong was not tempted..."

The snake spirit's tale plunged Anzhi into a reverie, as if the great hero the snake spirit spoke of was herself, and that she was now walking between heaven and earth at the foot of the mountain, fighting a demon in the white mountains and black waters...

The moonlight at night, like a cool silk ribbon, gently covers the earth, immersing all things in tranquility.

I don’t know how long it took,
Finally, under the light in the attic, a person with a cane and unsteady steps came.

"Uncle-Master is back!" Anzhi excitedly turned around and ran downstairs.

The hurried footsteps reflected Anzhi's current mood.

"Uncle-Master." An Zhi stood at the door, full of anticipation, looking at Fan Jin as he returned.

Although it was dark, Anzhi could still see the smile on Fan Jin's face by the moonlight: "Hehe, Senior Brother Headmaster said that he will let you go down the mountain to train. Pack your things and go down the mountain in a few days. Three months."

"Wow! Hahahaha!" Anzhi was so excited that he started dancing around.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master, thank you, Uncle-Master." Anzhi kept thanking him and then asked, "You, you haven't come back for so long, I thought, I thought something had happened again."

Upon hearing this, Fan Jin's smile gradually froze. He said very seriously, "My uncle told you not to make things difficult for the fire monster, and to stop when you've made your move. Why didn't you listen?"

Fan Jin's blame made An Zhi feel somewhat guilty...

"The Fire Monster has served the Sanqing Palace for a hundred years. Now that the Fire Monster is dead, the kitchen will need to add at least thirty manpower to chop firewood and start fires. Alas, this is not a good thing." Fan Jin vaguely remembered the scene of being attacked by the crowd in the back hall today. The death of the Fire Monster will make them overwhelmed. At least every day, they will have to arrange for people to chop firewood, and they cannot stop.

Anzhi pouted and said, "Uncle-Master, this, this can't be blamed on me, Elder Taiqing's word is law in the main hall."

"You," Fan Jin couldn't help but point at An Zhi, shaking his head helplessly, "Alas, it was precisely because Elder Taiqing said it in front of everyone in the main hall that I, your uncle, was able to escape unscathed today."

After hearing this, Anzhi muttered to himself, "Heh, it's true what they say, you can eat anything, but you can't say anything."

Back inside, Fan Jin began to explain to An Zhi the precautions for going down the mountain.

Just then, the serpent appeared at the windowsill, and Fan Jin's face turned serious again.

Fan Jin had always felt that the snake's origins were unknown, especially since it could survive the powerful true energy of the Three Pure Ones Blessed Land. This kind of demonic spirit had obviously surpassed the spirit itself, but he couldn't subdue An Zhi's persistent pestering, so he was still worried.

"Snake Baby, Snake Baby, we, we've come down the mountain, hahaha!" Anzhi excitedly said to the spirit snake.

Seeing Anzhi so close to the spirit snake, Fan Jin bluntly told Anzhi, "Anzhi, if the spirit snake does anything unusual on its way down the mountain, immediately use the Jade Flower Sword to kill it and cut it in two."

"Ah!" Anzhi was stunned. She stared blankly at the spirit snake and then looked at Fan Jin.

Seeing this, the spirit snake quickly said, "Don't worry, Uncle-Master, Snake Treasure will definitely protect its master." That was all they could do now, Fan Jin nodded...

Five days later,
Anzhi appeared at the mountain gate, holding the Jade Flower Sword and carrying a small bag.

Breathing in the fresh air outside, Anzhi felt truly at ease, while the spirit snake on his shoulder hopped excitedly from side to side.

Stepping out of this mountain gate opens up another colorful world, and Anzhi is eager to see it.

"We have to chop five bundles of firewood every day; it's become a fixed task."

"Damn Shen Anzhi, I'll kill her if I ever see her."

……

Suddenly, the voices of Luo Ling and her disciples could be heard from the bottom of the hillside.

Everyone was carrying a bundle of firewood on their backs, struggling to climb up the hillside.

Just then, they met Anzhi, who was about to come down the mountain.

"Oh, Senior Sister Luo, you're skipping your training and starting to chop wood today?" An Zhi said sarcastically.

Faced with the arrogant Shen Anzhi, Luo Ling angrily threw the bundle of firewood directly on the ground.

Unfortunately, due to the steep slope, the firewood rolled down the mountain.

"Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, it's all over, senior sister, you see, you have to go chop wood again." Anzhi provoked.

Luo Ling walked angrily to An Zhi's side, pointed her finger at him and said, "Shen An Zhi, don't be so arrogant. You'll regret this."

"Hahaha, I'll talk about Luo when I'm crying, but I have to laugh now, hahahaha." After saying that, Anzhi swayed her devilish figure and continued forward: "Senior sister, take your time chopping wood, I'm going down the mountain first."

Just as Anzhi took a few steps forward, she stopped. She found the leopard cat standing on the path down the mountain, looking at her pitifully. Anzhi understood that Luo Ling's life was not good now, and it also wanted to go down the mountain with her.

Faced with this situation, the spirit snake naturally had to step forward to resolve the matter and could not leave this difficult task to Anzhi.

"Snake Baby!" Anzhi called out worriedly when he saw the spirit snake running towards the leopard cat.

The Serpent: "This is between the two of us, it's none of your business."

After saying that, the serpent rushed towards the leopard cat, and the two spirits began to fight fiercely. After rolling into the forest, all that could be heard were bursts of barking and wailing.

A short while later, the spirit snake returned, followed closely by the injured leopard cat, which looked at Anzhi with teary eyes.

"Useless thing, can't even beat a spicy strip." Luo Ling kicked the leopard cat in a fit of rage.

"Meow@#￥*&@." With a scream, the leopard cat flew into the woods like a bomb.

Faced with Luo Ling's exasperation, An Zhi calmly caught the spirit snake with his palm and walked down the mountain.

"Senior sister, let's go back. The back hall is waiting for firewood to cook." The junior sister urged.

Faced with her junior sister's urging, Luo Ling angrily opened her mouth wide and loudly vented, "Ah..."

The sounds of her venting echoed down the mountain path, seemingly welcoming An down with light steps and a joyful mood.
