Mysterious mirror hanging high

Then he shook his robe sleeves, and dozens of jade slips were thrown out and fell in front of the Yunchuan students.

Jing Yu said, "This jade slip records the names, distribution, and characteristics of all the forces at the Jindan level and above in Zhongzhou. Please take a good look at it. Once you have selected three sects you would like to study, please send the list to me. We still have a few months until we arrive in Zhongzhou, so please hand it in during that time."

The students bowed in agreement, took the jade slips and returned to their cabins.

Seeing everyone disperse, Jing Yu also returned to his bedroom to practice in seclusion.

Several months passed like this without incident.

On this day, Jing Yu sat cross-legged on a cushion, holding his own life-saving magic weapon [Mysterious Patterned Tortoise Shell] in his hand. At this time, the outer shell of the tortoise shell was covered with dense spiritual patterns, emitting bursts of mysterious light, appearing brilliant.

Jing Yu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and thought to himself, "I had expected Tang Wei to intercept me along the way and lure me back to Yunchuan to join the battle. But I don't know if it was the magical power of my [Mysterious Patterned Turtle Shell] that concealed the secrets of the heavens and blocked calculations that worked, or if Tang Wei was too disdainful to bother. Instead, I had a safe journey without any problems."

Then he took out a glittering list, squinted his eyes and looked at it, sighing in his heart:

"Of these dozens of people... almost half of them chose the Nascent Soul Sect, which is even inferior to the Three Pavilions and Six Paths, as their first choice. It seems they are trying everything they can to stay in Zhongzhou."

While he was thinking, he suddenly had an idea in his mind, and heard a "boom" sound, and the entire Taixu Tower ship shook slightly.

"Ok?"

"Xuan Jing, we're here!"

Yuanji pushed the door open and walked in, saying, "The Taixu Tower ship has arrived at the gate of Songfeng Pavilion!"

"Oh?" Jing Yu was cheered up, and walked out of the cabin with Yuanji and flew onto the deck of the Taixu Tower ship.

As soon as he got out of the cabin, he felt pure spiritual energy seeping into his physical body desperately, until it seeped into his meridians, transformed into drops of magic power, stored in his dantian, and constantly revolved around the [Flawless Golden Pill].

Jing Yu took a deep breath and exclaimed in admiration, "What a rich spiritual energy! Even though we're still outside the gates of [Songfeng Pavilion], the spiritual energy is almost as rich as that in the upper floors of [Cloud Tower]!"

He lowered his head and looked over, and saw that most of the Yunchuan students were already sitting cross-legged on the deck practicing, apparently overwhelmed by the rich spiritual energy here.

"Too extravagant!" A Yunchuan student greedily breathed in the spiritual energy here, his entire body of magic power instantly circulating a small cycle. He muttered, "With such rich spiritual energy, even a pig could cultivate here and establish a foundation..."

Jing Yu shook his head and laughed. He looked up and saw dark green mountains in the distance. It was an endless fairy mountain range. Five peaks were particularly prominent, one each in the east, west, south, north and center.

These five peaks have different shapes and characteristics: [Mount Dongyue] is dignified and beautiful, [Mount Xiyue] is solemn and dignified, [Mount Nanyue] is majestic and grand, and [Mount Beiyue] is steep and strange...

The tallest and most majestic [Zhongyue Peak] stands in the center, commanding all the peaks. It has an aura of looking down on the world, but it also has a feeling of heaviness and solemnity. It does not appear to be overbearing, but rather it looks like it conquers the world with its kingly way, which makes people unable to help but worship it.

"This is [Songfeng Pavilion]!"

Jing Yu sighed, "It really is one of the most prestigious Taoist sects in the world. What a magnificent mountain gate!"

Suddenly, two long-distance flying boats, slightly smaller than the [Taixu Tower Ship], came from a distance and stopped not far from the tower ship. Jing Yu had excellent eyesight and almost immediately caught the logos of [Xuanyin Pavilion] and [Jiang Ge] on the two flying boats.

"The other two pavilions are here to pick someone up." Jing Yu said secretly.

Among them, the first person to fly out from the flying boat of [Xuanyin Pavilion] was a heroic woman holding a jade flute and wearing a black robe. She also had the cultivation level of the early Golden Core stage.

"Is this person Daoist Qin Ling?"

"Greetings, Master Xuan Jing." The woman in the dark robe turned the jade flute in her hand upside down, bowed and said, "Qin is here to pick someone up."

After the two of them looked at each other's portraits and checked each other's breath, they felt relieved and started chatting and laughing.

"There are a total of four students who have applied to study in [Xuanyin Pavilion] this time, plus the students who chose the Taoist sect east of Songfeng Pavilion. I'd like to trouble Fellow Daoist Qin to send them there." Jing Yu whispered.

"It's my duty." Qin Ling chuckled, suddenly turned her head and looked at the two sword lights that emerged from another flying boat.

"Oh? This time, the one who came to pick us up from [Jian Ge] was actually Fellow Daoist Ling Yu."

"Master Ling Yu!" Jing Yu's heart trembled. "It is rumored that this person is a mid-stage Jindan gold-type sword cultivator. In terms of killing power, he is even no less powerful than a late-stage Jindan great master."

As expected, as the sword light disappeared, the leading man revealed his figure. He was a middle-aged man with a sharp face and a pair of golden eyebrows. He was carrying a golden magic sword on his back. There was no scabbard, and it was only casually fixed on his back with a strap. There were also some silver star sand mixed on the blade, and I don’t know what kind of spiritual material it was.

"Hello, Master Ling Yu!" Jing Yu greeted him with a smile, but the next moment he widened his eyes.

The second sword light arrived late, and after the sword light dissipated, what appeared was a young male cultivator in brocade clothes, with a golden-red magic sword on his back, covered with a layer of faint purple mist.

"Guan Zhen? Guan You?"

This person is none other than Guan Zhen, Jing Yu’s teammate in the [Guishui Squad] during the first battle between good and evil!

Although Guan Zhen still looks like a teenager, he has long lost his youthful temperament and has become much more stable. Even his realm has risen to the late stage of foundation building. It is estimated that he is only 20 to 30 years away from completing the foundation building.

"I've met you, the real one!" the young man in brocade clothes exclaimed in amazement. "I haven't seen you in over seventy years. I never thought that Senior Xuan Jing would be the first to form a golden elixir."

"Why is Fellow Guan Zhen in Jiange?" Jing Yu asked curiously. He knew that Guan Zhen was not valued as a steward in the Jindan family, so logically speaking, he should not be able to get a place to study abroad.

"I was spotted by Li Jianxian during the war between good and evil and was specially recruited into the Sword Pavilion. Now I am a formal disciple of the Sword Pavilion."

"Is there such a chance?" Jing Yu pondered. "Back then, when the Buddha Lord Pudu arrested a few people and brought them into the secret realm, there was quite a commotion. Coincidentally, a beam of light swept across [Zuowang Peak] and captured me. I'm afraid it was this beam of light that made Li Suxuan notice Guan Zhen, who was unaffected by the Three Demons' delusions and had a clear sword mind. He then brought him to Zhongzhou and made an exception to accept him as a disciple of the Sword Pavilion..."

"Now that I have a solid foundation and have inherited a profound sword art, the path that was once uncertain has suddenly become clearer. Now I even have hope of achieving the Golden Elixir!"

Jing Yu pondered this with amusement, "Guan Zhen doesn't have any destiny to his name, but somehow he's risen to prominence by chance. Does that count as him taking advantage of some of my fate?"
