What bad intentions could the original dragon have?

To be honest, it is very difficult to persuade this group of rigid-minded immortals.

After all, having lived for so long, their way of thinking has long been fixed. Otherwise, how could an old stubborn person say such a thing?

"Yes." Ying certainly would not refuse this 'date' opportunity.

"How are we going to get there? Should we walk up?" Zhong Ling asked Ying. If Zhong Ling were to go alone, she would of course choose to fly directly up.

If she goes with Ying then, the meaning will be different. Anyway, they have plenty of time now.

During this period of time, they also went to many places. There was a teleportation anchor point near the 'Huaguanglin' ​​which was closest to 'Jueyunjian'. If they wanted to go up, they naturally had to take the plank road of 'Huaguanglin'.

However, if you just walk along the plank road, it is absolutely impossible to find the "Immortal Residence".

For example, the residence of [True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng] is on the other side of 'Aozang Mountain'. After walking along the plank road, you still need to climb a distance with your bare hands, and then open the mechanism to reveal the road leading to the residence of [True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng].

"Well, let's go up." Ying nodded quickly. "It's not bad for us to go mountain climbing together!"

"Okay." Since Ying said so, Zhong Ling naturally would not refuse.

----

"This is the first time I see Linglong change into a different set of clothes!" Paimon shouted in surprise as he looked at Zhong Ling who had changed into a set of tight-fitting clothes mainly in white and blue.

Not only did he change his clothes, he also changed his hairstyle.

Her long, frosty hair was tied into a very thick high ponytail, which made it easier to move.

"This is the attire I wore when I transformed into a mortal heroine in my early years." Zhong Ling hasn't worn this for thousands of years.

The previous feather robe was actually made of Zhong Ling's dragon scales. "Not even a feather can be added, and flies and insects cannot land on it" is the best explanation for that set of feather robes.

In fact, whether it is the normal feather robe or the divine robe of [Cangming Yuanjun], it is actually the same set, just with different forms.

"Linglong looks so handsome in this outfit!" Ying's eyes sparkled. "Lady Hero!"

Zhong Ling in feathered clothes gives people the feeling of nobility, elegance and gentleness.

The divinely-clad Zhong Ling gives people a feeling of incomparable nobility and majesty of gods and immortals.

And now, Zhong Ling, dressed in tight clothes, gives people an unprecedented feeling of being bold and heroic, with a temperament as vigorous as the rising sun.

"Really?" Zhong Ling subconsciously stretched out her hand and wanted to touch her sleeves, but she suddenly found that her clothes did not have big sleeves.

This was what she was least used to.

But that’s okay.

Zhong Ling waved her hand, and her magical power constructed a passage leading to the warehouse.

Two streams of light, one large and one small, flew out from the passage.

A small stream of light fell on the palm of Zhong Ling's left hand. It was a Liyue-style 'Ice God's Eye'.

Zhong Ling hung it around her waist, replacing the jade pendant and playing the role of it.

And another stream of light that had been hovering for a long time finally fell.

It was a long sword that was also mainly white and blue.

The scabbard seemed to be wrapped in streaks of frost and snow, and one glance at it could make people feel a chill. It was not the chill caused by murderous intent, but real coldness.

"Its name is [Zhaoxue]." Zhong Ling introduced it to Ying. "It is one of my swords. It is the sword I carried when I was a mortal wandering in the world. Although it is not as powerful as a divine weapon, it also has quite impressive power."

Zhong Ling handed the sword to Ying.

It's cold to the touch, and just holding it feels like holding a piece of solid ice.

This sword was forged by Zhong Ling himself, but Zhong Ling was not good at forging, nor was he very good at the [Art of Alchemy].

However, the material used for this sword is really good. It is made of 'black meteorite iron' as the main body, and is forged with 'golden elixir' that possesses magical powers.

Thanks to the excellent material, this sword was upgraded by Zhong Ling to a level close to that of a divine weapon.

"Linglong, do you have any strange misunderstandings about 'mortals'?" Holding the [Zhaoxue], Ying said after a moment of silence. "Where on earth can mortals come from to possess such a weapon that is close to a divine weapon?"

"After all, it's the first weapon I forged myself." Zhong Ling chuckled. "Regardless of its power, at least it looks good, doesn't it?"

"Ah, that's true." Ying drew out the sword.

On the silver-white hilt of the sword is an icy jade as transparent as frost and snow.

The entire sword looked as if it was carved from frost that never melted, and it was so gorgeous that it was dazzling.

"Besides, at that time, I was at the pinnacle of martial arts. It was normal for me to have a peerless sword, right?"

"'Peak of Martial Arts' is okay... It's just bullying to you, right?" Thinking of Zhong Ling's superb swordsmanship, she was just bullying by participating in a conference organized by mortals.

"I am upright and honest. I did not use any power from gods or immortals to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. I even sealed my own power at that time." Sealing his own body strength to the level of a mortal, and not using elemental power. Zhong Ling is really no different from a mortal.

It can be said to be an immersive experience.

"Everything is ready, we can go." Zhong Ling checked what she needed to bring.

Ying and Paimeng are gone.

After all, they are just like snails. Wherever they go, their home is there, so there is nothing they need to prepare.

"set off!"

In an instant, their vision changed extremely quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they successfully arrived at the teleportation anchor point outside the "Huaguang Forest".

Today’s journey to find immortals is about to begin.

C.20 A chance to meet an immortal?

"Hehehe..." Ying, who was following behind Zhong Ling, raised her head and let out a vulgar smile in her heart.

The plank road of 'Huaguanglin' ​​cannot be walked on directly. Instead, you need to use a ladder to climb up to a relatively flat platform first, and then you can walk on the plank road.

The slope of this ladder is 90°, which means it is completely vertical.

Zhong Ling went up first, which meant she would be above Ying, so as long as she raised her head slightly...

Although there was nothing to see, Zhong Ling was still wearing safety pants after all.

However, safety pants are nominally a kind of outer pants, but does anyone really wear safety pants when walking outside? No way!

Therefore, safety pants can also be considered as underwear, so there is no difference between seeing safety pants and exposing yourself!

Moreover, there are so many styles of safety pants, and some of them are sexy! Although Zhong Ling is wearing the most ordinary white thick safety pants without any patterns, it is not so sexy... It is better to say that it gives people a very warm feeling...

"No, these are not safety pants but hot pants!" Ying shouted in her heart. "The meaning of me deliberately choosing to be at the back is gone!"

"Are you tired?" After climbing several flights of ladders, Zhong Ling stood firm and looked at Ying and asked.

"No, it's not that high." Ying shook her head and climbed up in a few steps. "I didn't notice it before, I didn't expect that this ladder is actually vertical."

Such a vertical ladder is more difficult to climb and more dangerous than an inclined ladder.

"Oh, with a ladder like this, wouldn't it be more difficult for ordinary people to find immortals?" After Ying said this, Paimeng thought of this problem and asked Zhong Ling, the retired immortal.

The height of this Wanren Mountain is really not something that ordinary people can withstand. Moreover, compared with the physical strength consumed, being at a high place without any protective measures, the psychological pressure is extremely high.

In the early years, there were many people who came to Liyue to seek immortality and ask for the way. Countless people who came to "Jueyunjian" to seek immortality fell to their deaths.

Countless people who went to Bailong Gorge to search for immortals drowned.

When it comes to the crisis of those who are seeking immortality, immortals usually refuse to save them.

After all, the level is here and the difficulty is clear. If you insist on risking your life, you can only leave it to fate.

It’s not like the immortal is forcing you to take the test.

Rather than being a test, the obstacles set up by the immortals are meant to stop those who seek immortality.

"Ordinary people? Why would ordinary people seek immortals?" Zhong Ling asked, turning her head. "People who try to seek immortals either want to gain power from them or crave their wisdom."

“He who seeks strength seeks strength, and he who seeks wisdom seeks wisdom.”

"Both have their own way to climb the mountain."

And when it comes down to it, immortals stay away from the world because they don't want to be disturbed. Immortal seekers are actually the most annoying people to them.

If you can't even withstand such a small test, the immortal will be even happier.

Although immortals have extremely long lifespans, they can even sleep for a very long time.

But the immortal would rather waste his time sleeping than even look at the person who is looking for him.

After all, who likes trouble?

"Um... okay, I don't understand." Paimon touched his hair, indicating that he didn't understand.

Having said that, Zhong Ling felt that Paimon understood.

After all, Paimon is very knowledgeable, but he occasionally short-circuits in certain areas, which is quite magical.

"Okay, we'll reach the plank road after climbing one more level. There's a pavilion on top where we can take a short rest." Zhong Ling clapped her hands in encouragement.

"Oh!" Ying cheered, and Paimon also cheered.

----

"We're finally here!" If we use elemental power, it would only take a few jumps to fly from below to here, and we have these platforms to help.

However, if you climb like this without relying on elemental power, the physical energy consumption is still quite large.

"The plank road is ahead." Zhong Ling looked towards the mountain opposite. The two mountains were connected by a wooden suspension bridge.

Although there are ropes as handrails, it is obvious at a glance that this suspension bridge is in disrepair and is very unsafe.

However, what they are looking for is [True Lord Liuyunjiefeng], so there is no need to take the plank road at all. They can just climb up from this side and then trigger the mechanism. As long as the mechanism is opened, the road leading to the residence of [True Lord Liuyunjiefeng] will be revealed.

At this moment, a man in training clothes and carrying a sword walked out from the corner of the platform.

"Nice to meet you two. I didn't expect to meet you in this rarely visited 'Jueyunjian'." The man said to them while clasping his fists.

"Nice to meet you. Who are you?" Seeing that the other party seemed to be a knight, Zhong Ling responded with a fist salute.

"When you ask someone's name, you should give your own name first, right?" Just then, a woman came over. She and the man were carrying a sword on their backs, and judging by her clothes, they seemed to be from the same school.

"Junior sister, I was the first to speak." The man said helplessly to his junior sister. "I am Sun Yu, a disciple of the Guhua Sect, and this is my junior sister, Xiao Que'er."

"【Guhua Sect】?" Zhong Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.

Although she didn't know what the "Guhua School" was, she was still very familiar with the name Guhua.

Because Gu Hua was the immortal who created the "Sword Flying" that was popular in Liyue.

Being handsome is for life, and immortals don’t seek worldly things.

For immortals, the most important thing is naturally face, and flying with a sword is really cool.

"Miss, have you heard of our [Guhua Sect]?" Sun Yu asked a little excitedly.

[Guhua School] was very famous in the early days.

However, what Zhong Ling knew about was the earlier [Guhua Group].

The [Guhuatuan] later gradually declined and became the [Guhuatang], and finally became the current [Guhuapai].

"Yes, I heard about the Guhua School in the early years." Zhong Ling nodded slightly.

"Earlier..." Sun Yu froze for a moment, then nodded. "What are you two doing here at 'Jueyunjian'?"

"Humph, I know without asking, they must be opportunists who came to 'Jueyunjian' to try their luck in finding immortality." Xiao Que'er at the side seemed to have an inexplicable hostility towards them.

"An opportunistic thief who is looking for an opportunity to become an immortal?" Ying raised her eyebrows.

Do you want to meet the immortal again? I slept with the immortal in my arms last night!

"Junior sister, it's alright." Sun Yu interrupted Xiao Que'er. "I just chatted with them for a few minutes."

"What's there to talk about with opportunists like them?"

"You say we are opportunists, but what about you? Why do you come to this remote place called 'Jueyunjian' for tourism?" His wife is a [Yuanjun], and even though she has retired, she will definitely not quarrel with such a person.

Then the responsibility of offending others will be borne by Ying.

Otherwise you will be bullied!

C.21 Dispute
