At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

On the second day, Chi Jiao held Su Rui, who was holding the little fox demon, in one hand and Chen Ting, a Zhushan believer, in the other, and left Tongqu County with a light of escape.

After flying intermittently for three days and three nights, we finally arrived at a small town at the foot of Mount Qingcheng in the early morning of the fourth day.

Qingcheng Mountain is known as the "most secluded place in the world". It is said that there are 108 magnificent views, which are deeply loved by literati and poets. There are palaces and temples all over the mountain. It is said that Zhang Daoling, the Tianshi of Zhang, lived in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain in his later years and ascended to heaven. In addition, Yin Changsheng, an immortal in the Eastern Han Dynasty who was known as one of the "Eight Immortals of Shu", also went to Qingcheng Mountain to practice Taoism and eventually achieved immortality. Therefore, in the previous dynasties, Qingcheng Mountain was once known as the "home of immortals".

However, there is only one Taoist sect on Mount Qingcheng, the Qingshan Sect. Most of the Taoist temples on the front mountain that accept incense and offerings are run by the outer disciples of the Qingshan Sect, and the rest are basically run by senior Taoist believers and cannot be considered Taoist sects.

Precisely because Mount Qingcheng has so many magnificent palaces and temples, the small town at the foot of the mountain is also particularly prosperous. It is no exaggeration to say that it is bustling with tourists and carriages and horses.

Su Rui, holding the little fox demon, walked into the town with Chi Jiao and Chen Ting, looking exhausted.

He found an inn that looked the most lively, ordered a table full of food, had a full meal, then asked the waiter to prepare a suite with a yard for them, washed, changed his clothes, and tidied himself up.

Only then did Chi Jiao lead the group to escape towards the Golden Whip Cliff at the top of Qingcheng Mountain.

Flying in the air, Su Rui looked at the emerald green mountains below his feet and the palaces and temples hidden in the unexpected corners of the mountains through the black and red translucent light, and felt a little excited in his heart.

After many twists and turns and taking many detours, he finally arrived at the Qingcheng Sect.

Following the instructions given to him by True Man Yu'e, he landed on the rocks of a high peak with exposed rocks.

The Golden Whip Cliff is said to be formed from a magic whip thrown down by an ancient god. When the sun shines, you can see two vertical and one horizontal golden whips from afar. Beyond the Golden Whip Cliff is a cliff. From afar, you can see mountains upon mountains, high and low, with cliffs thousands of feet high and independent. The peaks stretch for ten miles, and the old vines and trees reach into the blue sky, which makes people marvel at the ingenuity of nature.

Further inside the Golden Whip Cliff, there is a large sunken cave with a ravine hundreds of feet deep.

The main gate of the Qingcheng Sect is located inside that large cave.

Just as Su Rui was daydreaming at the big cave, three sword lights flew out from the cave and fell on the rock layer where Su Rui and the others were.

After the sword light faded, three figures, two men and one woman, were revealed. The young man standing in the middle seemed to be the leader of the three. He took the first step and walked towards Su Rui and the others.

"This is the gate of Qingshan Sect. What brings you here?"

He is tall, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his face is as sharp as a knife with clear edges and corners. Just when he walks out, he exudes the aura of a swordsman.

Su Rui came forward, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Hello, Senior Brother! I'm here to become your disciple. May I ask if Master Yu'e is in the sect?"

"Master Yu'e is often traveling outside, and is not in the sect at this moment!"

This was said by the woman who was following the man. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, about six feet (1.6 meters) tall, with rosy and tender cheeks, very pleasing. Her voice had a hint of Yizhou accent, soft and sticky.

"Uh... I knew it!" Su Rui murmured in response, and then he had to take out the synchronization card given to him by Master Yu'e, input a stream of true energy into it, and began to call Master Yu'e.

No one knew what True Man Yu'e was busy with. Su Rui called him for a long time in front of the three future senior brothers and sisters of Qingcheng Sect, but there was no response.

Just when he was sweating with anxiety and was about to explain to the three future senior brothers and sisters of Qingcheng Sect in front of him, there was finally a response from the simultaneous voice card.

"Boy, what do you want from me?" Master Yu'e seemed to be very busy, as the sound of fighting could be heard from the other side.

"Master, I have found the whereabouts of Elder Tiantong. Does your previous promise still count?" Su Rui asked with a nervous mood.

"Hey... count! Count!! Tell me where he is quickly?" True Man Yu'e responded with joy in his tone.

"Old Man Tiantong is in the Yue'er Cave in West Kunlun!"

Su Rui told Shi Yi about the whereabouts of Elder Tiantong, and then asked hurriedly, "Master, am I your disciple now?"

"Okay! I, the old Taoist, will stick to my word. Once I find Elder Tiantong and get the Snow Soul Pearl, I will bring you back to Qingcheng Mountain to be included in the list of disciples!" True Man Yu'e responded affirmatively.

"Master...um, Master, I've already arrived at Qingcheng Sect!" Su Rui said embarrassedly.

"That's even better. It saves me the trouble of running all the way to pick you up! Just go to the mountain gate and find a disciple. I'll ask him to make arrangements for you!" True Man Yu'e didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this and responded to Su Rui.

Upon hearing this, Su Rui handed the voice card in his hand to the young man standing in the middle, and said softly: "Brother, please tell Master Yu'e!"

The young man watched Su Rui's communication with Master Yu'e the whole time. When he saw his action, he smiled silently and took the simultaneous voice card from Su Rui: "Disciple Yuan Ning, Master Yu'e, please give me your instructions!"

"Yuan Ning, you are here too. It so happens that you are also a true disciple. I will leave this new disciple of mine to you for arrangement!" This senior brother named Yuan Ning seems to be very famous in the Qingcheng Sect. When True Man Yu'e heard his name, he gave the instructions in a very familiar manner.

"Disciple obeys the order!" Yuan Ning responded. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but the connection with the Tongsheng card had been cut off.

Yuan Ning handed the voice card back to Su Rui helplessly and asked, "Junior brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Su Qinghe, Brother Yuan, you can just call me Qinghe!" Su Rui said respectfully.

"Who are these two?" Yuan Ning asked again.

"This Miss Chi Jiao is my sworn sister! This is Chen Ting from the Zhushan Sect... He was robbed on the road and captured alive by me. When he learned that my Qingcheng Sect would also participate in the Hundred Years Sword Fight, he was brought here as a prisoner!" Su Rui introduced.

Chi Jiao smiled brightly as Su Rui introduced them. For some reason, after Su Rui sensed the appearance of Yuan Ning and the other two, Chi Jiao's expression became a little nervous.

Chen Ting, a member of the Zhushan sect, showed a trace of fear after hearing Yuan Ning's name. After hearing Su Rui's introduction, he immediately shrank his neck and said nervously: "I... I am Chen Zhen of the Zhushan sect. I just borrowed the name of my brother Chen Ting..."

Su Rui was speechless after hearing this. This guy was hiding the truth very well. If he hadn't met Yuan Ning today, he would probably have continued to hide it.

"Oh, that guy Chen Ting actually has such a younger brother?" Yuan Ning looked at Chen Zhen with some disdain.

Chen Zhen rubbed his fingers together, lowered his head and dared not respond. It was obvious that he was very afraid of Yuan Ning.

This made Su Rui curious. Is Yuan Ning so famous? Even this Zhushan Sect disciple didn't dare to refute him.

"Junior Brother Su, let's go into the mountains!"

As he spoke, Yuan Ning raised his sword and flew into the direction of the big cave.
