System crash? I prove it with my control panel!

The woman before me... perhaps "girl" would be a more accurate description.

Because it looks about the same size as Chen Wen.

Her purple robe clearly identified her as a true disciple!

Her face was exquisite, her skin as white as snow, and she was like a lotus bud about to bloom.

In reality, it's just a superior appearance.

But those eyes, clear and bright like a spring, were truly like a pool of autumn water.

Chen Wen was stunned for a moment before looking away and politely nodding in response, "My name is Chen Jingwen. I was just passing by and found this method interesting. Thank you for reminding me, senior sister."

The woman smiled slightly and said, "No need for formalities. My name is Liu Hongchen. I am a disciple of Zixia Peak, just like you. My master summoned me here to wait for you to choose your cultivation method before taking you to Zixia Peak."

After saying that, she asked curiously:

"Has something happened to the Azure Pool Secret Realm? Normally, it takes a maximum of two days to emerge, so why did it take the three of you, even the fastest, two and a half days?"

"I don't know. Senior Sister Liu, could you wait here for me for a moment? Are you also choosing a cultivation technique?"

Chen Wen understood immediately; it seemed to be caused by that spiritual liquid. However, such an opportunity was not something that could be explained to others, so he could only give a perfunctory answer.

Seeing that he wouldn't say anything, Liu Hongchen stopped asking. She was just curious and didn't want to be misunderstood as someone who was spying on other people's opportunities.

She said:

"My master instructed me to cultivate the Secret Record of the Radiant Cave of Purple Cloud Peak. This method is compatible with my Azure Cloud Body. I have made my choice and am now just waiting for you to leave together."

"Please wait a moment, senior sister."

Chen Wen bowed again.

He then quickly turned around to search for the cultivation technique.

Although it was only a few words.

But Chen Wen already knew what was going on.

I'm afraid my claim of being a true disciple is just for show.

The proper way to receive a true teaching is to first visit the master, receive advice from the master, and then make a selection.

But I was only brought here by Master Li, and it's hard to say whether Master Li was acting on the orders of that peak master.

Of course, it's also possible that you stayed in the secret realm for too long and missed the time limit.

However, the possibility is slim.

If he wasn't mistaken, the leaders of the other nine peaks were all geniuses with special physiques.

For example, the person in front of us.

Only Qingchi Peak remained, and that was himself, a mid-grade spiritual root, and still in the top three.

It's highly likely that he only gave himself the identity of a true disciple to save face.

Chen Wen composed himself.

In any case, it's a genuine teaching.

You won't be shortchanged in terms of benefits and resources.

That's enough.

At the very least, there's a fifth-tier cultivation technique to guarantee you a minimum.

He looked at each of the stone tablets again.

This time he was less leisurely and simply skipped over anything that wasn't suitable for him.

He did learn some of the secret teachings of each peak.

Like the Platinum Heaven-Slaying and Demon-Subduing Secret Scroll of Sword Peak.

It is the most domineering and fierce, harming people invisibly.

But why did you slay the heavens?

Even if he's lying down, someone will want to chop him up.

The profound and mysterious alchemy of Danfeng also broadened his horizons.

It turns out that the cultivation method is based on alchemy, where one absorbs the energy of the pills during the alchemy process to improve one's cultivation level.

He naturally also saw the Celestial Transformation Method of Miaoyin Peak.

I immediately felt that although the person who created this technique was perverted, he had still done a good thing.

Those who practice this method to change their yin or yang gender all have one characteristic—a washboard.

Chen Wen secretly remembered this characteristic and was glad that he liked people with deep thoughts and insights.

There are also some special techniques.

For example, the seven emotions and six desires of the demonic path, and the Vajra subduing demons of Buddhism, etc.

This also made Chen Wen realize that there were Buddhist sects in the world, but in their cultivation world, the Qingming Sect was in charge.

In the end, Chen Wen selected three martial arts manuals.

The first method, "Aoki Eigen-kyo".

This method draws upon the essence of heaven and earth's green wood to nourish oneself. This method is most suitable for one's dislike of fighting. Practicing this method can lock in 25% of one's lifespan.

It is said that all spiritual practice is for the purpose of achieving longevity.

They cultivated and fought their way through life, and no matter how powerful their supernatural abilities and magical treasures were, they eventually fell at the end of their lifespan.

This method can make Chen Wen live 25% longer than others of the same rank!

The second method, the *Plant Mother Incarnation Sutra*.

One can seek out rare materials to cultivate an avatar. The avatar is immortal, and the original body is indestructible. The avatar supports the cultivation of the original body, and the aptitude also increases with the rare materials.

However, Chen Wen was not inclined towards this cultivation method. It required entrusting everything to external things, and the avatar could not be moved rashly. It needed to find a treasure land, and the main body was weak, so it needed to constantly go out to seek opportunities to nourish the avatar.

The third method, "The Harmony of Yin and Yang,"

This method is a dual cultivation method. In the early stages, a Daoist partner is used as a guide, and in the later stages, one can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, including the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers.

...

Okay, this method is just to make up the numbers.

Chen Wen lingered a little longer because he found the method rather interesting.

Liu Hongchen, who was behind, saw Chen Wen standing at a stone tablet for a long time and immediately showed disdain in her eyes. She had arrived a while earlier and knew what kind of technique it was.

In the end, Chen Wen still chose "Aoki Eigenko".

On the path of spiritual practice, everyone else is vying and competing, but he chooses not to compete.

With a mind free from contention, one can accomplish great things.

The main reason is that he has a panel, and given enough time, he can accumulate sufficient foundation.

They use magic to protect their way and green wood to prolong their lives.

In this way, one may be able to establish one's own path.

In fact, Chen Wen also coveted a certain technique—the "Heavenly Talisman Transformation Secret Technique".

Once you create a talisman as your natal talisman, it will manifest instantly with a single thought.

However, this method is quite difficult, requiring the selected talisman to be perfected, and the materials are hard to find.

Choosing a powerful talisman is no less valuable than having a portable firearm in the city.

Of course, according to Chen Wen's idea, he would naturally choose the protective talisman that releases automatically.

This way, you can avoid most sneak attacks.

However, this method is also a fifth-order inheritance, so we have to give up on it for now.

He placed his hand on the stone tablet and probed it with his spiritual sense.

In an instant, he felt a surge of power enter his sea of ​​consciousness, planting a legacy restriction before disappearing.

He waited a few more moments, but there was no further movement.

He opened his eyes, somewhat stunned. Was that all?

Liu Hongchen walked over and said softly, "The inheritance stele is like this. It contains the spiritual imprint left by the ancestor. It only needs to be imprinted in your mind, and it can be completed in an instant."

"You must not mention the contents of the cultivation technique to anyone in the future. If a powerful person searches your soul to investigate the technique, it will trigger the restriction and cause your soul to self-destruct. So you need to be careful."

"Thank you for your explanation, Senior Sister Liu."

Chen Wen bowed in thanks again, then closed his eyes to sense the restriction. Sure enough, the cultivation technique was inside, but he could only view the Qi Refining section, which was the first level.

Now was not the time to investigate, so he composed himself, looked at Liu Hongchen, and said:

"Senior Sister Liu, we should go and pay our respects to Master soon. Let's go."

"it is good."

Liu Hongchen nodded in agreement.

We left the library.

Chen Wencai remembered that the two of them were currently on the fifth floor, hundreds of meters above the ground. If they wanted to leave, they would have to fly.

But he was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

With this thought in mind, he turned his gaze to Liu Hongchen beside him.

Liu Hongchen's cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered:

"Although I am in the late stage of Qi Refining, I still cannot control a sword. Please wait a moment."

Chen Wen was surprised, "You really are in the late stage of Qi Refining?!"

He had secretly investigated her beforehand but couldn't see through her cultivation level. He had just wanted to ask her if there was any way to help her, but she revealed her cultivation level herself.

We're both nine years old, so why am I still struggling in the mid-stage of Qi Refining while you're already preparing for Foundation Establishment?

Liu Hongchen, unaware of Chen Wen's thoughts, took out a bamboo whistle from her storage bag and blew it softly.

However, no sound was made.

Chen Wen was puzzled.

Before he could ask, Liu Hongchen explained:

"This bamboo whistle is a magical artifact; it can summon cranes."

"The Azure Nether Sect is so vast that it would be troublesome to make people walk around all day. Therefore, the Beast Peak raises many spirit cranes for transportation. Although this whistle is said to be blown, it is actually just a signal to attract the spirit cranes by injecting spiritual energy."

"By the way, once you have met your master, you will receive a bamboo whistle. Just remember not to use it recklessly. Each trip, no matter how far or near, is calculated by the hour. One low-grade spirit stone is awarded for each hour, and the same applies if the trip is less than one hour."

Chen Wen sighed, "The Immortal Sect is vast; it's not easy to stay here!"

Liu Hongchen nodded in deep agreement, "Yes, even for us true disciples who have our own businesses, our daily expenses are like water flowing away, and we can't make ends meet."

"If you find a way to make a living, junior brother, you must help me out."

She turned to look at Chen Wen, her eyes filled with hope.

She looked so pitiful and endearing.

However, Chen Wen seemed not to notice. This map of the Yan Kingdom was too short, not even a fraction of the power of the fairy in his previous life.

However, considering his young age, it's likely that he's just not yet proficient in the work.

Chen Wen continued, "What do you mean by 'having your own business'?"

Seeing that Chen Wen did not agree, Liu Hongchen's enthusiasm waned, and she said indifferently:

"This is a special case for the true disciples of Zixia Peak. They don't receive a monthly salary, but only a stipend for their livelihood within the peak. Someone like me is the head of the pill department at Zixia Pavilion in Qingming City. For every pill sold, I get a cut..."

While waiting, Chen Wen asked many questions.

It turns out that Zixia Peak is different from other peaks.

Zixia Peak is mainly responsible for the sect's finances, which means doing business.

Sell ​​the sect's produce.

For example, the spiritual taxes of each family, the output of each peak, such as the pills of the Pill Peak, the magical artifacts of the Weapon Peak, and the array peak...

They will also engage in transactions with external sects and families.

Ordinary disciples within Zixia Peak typically work in various shops.

Others perform tasks such as talisman making, alchemy, farming, animal husbandry, and hunting.

Zixia Peak can be described as a hodgepodge, with all sorts of things going about, but the main purpose is to generate revenue for the sect.

Their true disciples are assigned a position; the higher their cultivation level, the higher the position they are assigned, and their treatment naturally increases accordingly.

If you have the ability, you will naturally earn more.

However, if one lacks the ability, and is too young like Liu Hongchen, one can only receive welfare.

Chen Wen was also somewhat looking forward to it, wondering what kind of job he would be assigned.

At this time.

Suddenly, a crane took flight.

It is pure white with a touch of crimson on its head, has lively eyes, and will even stretch its head over to rub against you.

A small storage bag was also hanging around her neck.

Liu Hongchen took out a spirit stone and handed it over, saying:

"Cranes are generally as intelligent as three- or four-year-old children. You can just tell them the destination. They stay within the clan year-round and won't get lost."

"And I don't know who taught them, but these cranes are really good at being affectionate. They'll rub against you whenever they see you, making you want to give them a tip~ Haha~"

As they were talking, the crane had already taken the spirit stone and put it into its storage bag, then stretched its head over to rub against Liu Hongchen's little face.

This made her giggle uncontrollably.

After a while, Liu Hongchen took out another spirit stone to reward the spirit crane and let it play for a while before remembering that there was someone following behind him.

She blushed instantly, lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at Chen Wen, and whispered:

"It's getting late, let's hurry back to the peak."

Without even looking at Chen Wen, he leaped onto the crane's back.

Chen Wen followed him up.

Only then did I notice that there was a small table on the crane's back, with tea on it.

Chen Wen poured himself a cup and confirmed it was hot tea.

"唳——"

The crane let out a soft cry.

Then it flapped its wings and flew into the air.

Unexpectedly stable.

Moreover, the spirit crane had cultivated and condensed a protective shield to keep the wind out.

There are many people like them who ride cranes through the sky.

Below are winding mountain ranges, dotted with various buildings.

At that moment, Chen Wen felt a sense of exhilaration, and in a daze, he felt as if he had truly become an immortal.

He knew in his heart that he had been under too much pressure all along.

Now they finally have a moment to catch their breath.

Liu Hongchen, who was standing to the side, seemed to have just shown the demeanor of a child. At this moment, her face was slightly red, and she kept her head down and remained silent.

The crane was very fast, and it took only about half an hour to deliver the two of them to Zixia Peak.

Looking down from the horizon, Chen Wen understood why this peak was named Zixia Peak.

It was morning, so the sky should have been clear.

But the entire area above was bathed in the glow of the sunset.

The colorful rays of the sunset intertwined, creating a magnificent purple hue that dyed the entire mountain peak purple.

Some cultivators on the horizon were still collecting the rosy light and refining it into jade bottles.

Liu Hongchen said, "This is because Master is currently cultivating the Secret Record of the Radiant Cloud Cave. Where she is, there is boundless radiance and purple mist, and I also benefit greatly from it when I cultivate."

Chen Wen sighed inwardly, thinking that the Purple Mansion cultivators were indeed extraordinary, their every move causing extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth.

As soon as it landed.

Chen Wen suddenly froze, as if he had been seen through.

The next moment, a clear, cold female voice rang in his ear:

"With a solid foundation and good comprehension, you will be my disciple from now on. Starting today, you will be in charge of the Class B Spirit Field. Go ahead, and handle all matters with the Internal Affairs Hall."

"Thank you, Master!"

Chen Wen immediately bowed and thanked him.

How could he not understand that the voice he heard was that of the deputy peak master?

Liu Hongchen, standing to the side, turned his head and said:

"Junior brother, I must go now. Master has summoned me to pay my respects."

Chen Wen: "Okay, take care, senior sister..."

He watched Liu Hongchen leave, feeling neither sorrow nor joy, his expression calm.

He had expected this, and now it's just that his guess has been confirmed.

A man in a white robe walked up to the mountain gate, cupped his hands, and said:

"May I ask who you are?"

Chen Wen said, "Senior brother, I am Chen Jingwen, a newly promoted true disciple of Zixia Peak."

"Senior Brother Chen, I've long admired your name!"

The man suddenly bowed respectfully, his tone becoming increasingly humble.

"Senior brother, you can call me Xiaobai. I am Xiao Bai, an outer disciple of Zixia Peak, and I am specifically responsible for guiding others."

"Senior Brother Xiao Bai, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Chen Wen did not underestimate his opponent, as he himself could not see through his cultivation level. He cupped his hands and said:

"My master told me to go to the Internal Affairs Hall to handle some matters. Could you please show me the way?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's heart stirred. He thought to himself that this person was not highly regarded, as the peak master had not even summoned him since he had just arrived.

But then I thought, even if they don't take it seriously, they are still true disciples, while I am just an outer disciple.

His expression remained enthusiastic as he said:

"Senior Brother Chen, I happen to have nothing to do at the moment. The Internal Affairs Hall is quite far away, so let me give you a ride on my sword."

......
