Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"This godforsaken place, could it really be the area that the Blazing Sun Sect uses to recruit disciples?"

"Furthermore, the disciples recruited here are probably not ordinary disciples, but rather important ones, such as inner disciples or core disciples!"

Gazing at the distant mountains, He Li spoke.

The two people beside him were also somewhat suspicious upon hearing this.

"Maybe... you're right."

Yu Ji thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Xiong said that Yin Yunzi seems to be an outer sect elder of the Blazing Sun Sect."

"We are at the outer gate."

"The overseas immortal mountains are an important area of ​​the Blazing Sun Sect, and judging from the clues, the token was obtained here, which is the only way to successfully reach the overseas immortal mountains."

"Perhaps those tokens are prepared for outer disciples with potential and aptitude."

"To enable them to enter the inner gate?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Lan's eyes lit up.

"If that's the case, then why is it that Yin Yunzi, despite his strength, can't obtain the token or ascend to the overseas immortal mountains? Is it because he's too old and his aptitude doesn't meet the requirements?"

"Isn't that how it's always written in novels? If you're not old enough or qualified enough, you definitely won't get promoted."

Huh? That's actually quite possible.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Yin Yunzi, despite his strength, still couldn't obtain the token.

Thinking about these things...

He Li's lips curled into a smile: "Let's go."

"Let's go and see what the recruitment process is like for high-ranking disciples of the Middle Realm Qi Refining Sect. Maybe we can even test our own aptitude."

After saying that, seeing the two nod, He Li waved his hand and used his spiritual power to quickly carry the two forward.

Along the way, more fanatical Qi practitioners appeared.

And among them are quite a few with considerable strength.

But they're in He Li's hands...

It is still too weak.

He Li was like a ruthless bulldozer, brutally crushing all the oncoming crazed Qi cultivators until he finally stopped above that somewhat strange mountain.

It is because ordinary people seem to have no way to fly directly over this strange mountain.

He Li himself was unaffected.

Perhaps it's because of his abilities.

But Yu Ji and Mu Lan were different; they were forcibly blocked outside by an invisible force.

There was nothing He Li could do but let them go.

"There must be special restrictions here, preventing ordinary people from taking shortcuts to fly directly up there; you wait here while I go up and take a look first!"

After setting Yu Ji and the other person down, He Li didn't wait for their response and took advantage of the effect of not pursuing the spirits...

They forced their way up to the mountaintop.

However, this action also alerted a special being hidden within this strange mountain...

"Flying is forbidden on Mount Qingyang!!!"

"Who dares to force their way in?!"

With a muffled sound, a bright blue light shone, and a humanoid blue phantom that blotted out the sky and was constantly changing suddenly appeared on the mountaintop, looking down at He Li and releasing boundless pressure.

To everyone's surprise, it had no effect whatsoever.

"What are you?"

"A Qi Refiner? That doesn't seem quite right!"

He Li asked very rudely and suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, the colossal phantom coldly replied, "I am the spirit of Qingyang Mountain!"

As he spoke, his tone became fierce: "You lowly junior from the lower realm, relying on your meager supernatural abilities, dare to disregard my rules and presume to take shortcuts to climb the summit of Qingyang Mountain? Hmph!"

After a cold snort, he suddenly leaned forward, his mountain-like head looming close to He Li, exuding an overwhelming sense of pressure...

Those who resort to opportunism should be punished!!!

Rumble!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, a thunderclap resounded.

At the foot of the mountain, Yu Ji and Mu Lan could only see that the already somewhat gloomy Qingyang Mountain was covered with dark clouds, which became even darker, and strange scarlet lightning kept flashing in the dark clouds.

The thunder, carrying a terrifying power, increased the pressure on the two men, turning their faces pale.

They began to worry about He Li.

After all, the so-called spirit of Qingyang Mountain was neither a Qi cultivator nor an ordinary monster.

This thing is more like a mountain god in mythology, or a powerful monster that has cultivated for thousands of years by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become what it is today.

Such an existence...

Even though He Li possesses many abilities.

I'm afraid that they might not be able to gain any advantage.

However, the good thing is that at least...

Judging from what the spirit of Qingyang Mountain said, it seems that he only intended to punish He Li and did not intend to kill him.

In that case, even if He Li couldn't withstand the punishment from the Qingyang Mountain Spirit and was seriously injured, he wouldn't die. They could still find a way to save him.

Thinking this way, they felt a little more at ease.

But soon, they were stunned.

They suddenly discovered that He Li's legs and bones had transformed into thin, long threads that had deeply embedded themselves in the ground.

Then, crimson lightning struck...

Boom!!!

Accompanied by rolling thunder that seemed to shatter the void, lightning that was terrifying to behold, as if it would obliterate a person into nothingness, struck He Li...

But he... was completely fine?

"That's it? Are you just tickling me?"

He Lifa let out a contemptuous laugh.

Then, ignoring the spirit of Qingyang Mountain, he continued to fly up the mountain without any restraint, which not only left Yu Ji and the other person dumbfounded but also angered the spirit of Qingyang Mountain.

"Ignorant brat, you're asking for death!!!"

After a somber, murderous growl, crimson-purple lightning coalesced into a sea in the sky.

The oppressive aura of destruction spread, causing the crazed Qi cultivators in the distance, who had lost their minds and resembled wild beasts, to instinctively flee in terror at the threat of death.

Immediately, the crimson thunder dragon descended from the sky...

It roared and viciously devoured He Li.

The arcs of electricity emanating from the Thunder Dragon struck the crazed Qi Refiners who hadn't run far, instantly melting their bodies into a pulp that splattered all over the ground.

Seeing this, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain assumed He Li was doomed and looked around arrogantly...

"The rules of Qingyang Mountain are not to be questioned!!!"

"Whether they are Qi cultivators from the middle realm or the lower realm, those who question them will suffer the same fate..."

He had barely finished speaking when a cold laugh rang out.

"What happened? Nothing happened?"

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this sound, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain looked down sharply at He Li, who had just been swallowed by the Crimson Thunder Dragon. At this moment, He Li was flying towards the mountaintop unharmed.

And it landed on the mountaintop very quickly.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain stared intently at He Li.

The atmosphere became tense for a moment.

He Li acted as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring the shocked, suspicious, confused, and annoyed Qingyang Mountain Spirit, and reached out to grab the token from the stone platform where it was suspended.

Seeing this, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain finally recovered from the shock of not being able to hurt He Li.

"Young man, you are indeed quite capable."

"No wonder he dared to disregard my rules and force his way into Qingyang Mountain."

"But you want the Blazing Sun Token?"

"That's probably... wishful thinking!"

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain coldly mocked, "Those Blazing Sun Tokens are special tokens prepared by me and the Blazing Sun Sect Master for the top outer disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect to advance to the inner sect."

"It doesn't meet the standards; it doesn't meet my approval..."

"Those tokens will be bound here with tens of millions of pounds of force, and no one can shake them."

"You think...?"

He was about to continue speaking with a cold smile.

But the next moment, he couldn't say anything...

Snap!

On the stone platform, He Li unleashed his power, actually grabbing a token and tearing apart the hidden restriction that shimmered with a faint blue light in the void.

Visible to the naked eye, the Qingyang Mountain Spirit's face, which had been constantly shifting and whose features were indistinct...

The movement paused, facial features became visible, and the expression froze.

"You...you..."

His voice trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

His mind was full of questions.

Isn't this guy from the lower realm? How could he so easily shatter the barrier that I, along with the Blazing Sun Sect Master, had set up—a barrier that would require tens of millions of jin of force to break?

Even the inner disciples, core disciples, and elders of the Blazing Sun Sect wouldn't allow something like this.

Is this...is this even human??

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain was dumbfounded.

But what baffled him even more was yet to come...

He Li took the token, briefly examined the ancient-looking token engraved with the sun, sea, and islands, and then turned his gaze to the remaining tokens.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain wasn't stupid; he vaguely discerned He Li's thoughts and was both shocked and furious, almost losing his voice...

"You...you can't..."

"stop!!!"

Crack! Before he could finish speaking, He Li had already reached out and ripped apart another token's restriction, then, as if emboldened, reached out to grab other Blazing Sun Sect tokens...
