Chapter 277 Shushan

The Shushan Sect is located in the lofty mountains of western Sichuan. The mountains are steep and difficult to navigate. Without the protection of the Immortal Formation, ordinary people cannot reach here.

On this trip to Shushan, Gu Zheng not only brought the two elders Wuyou and Wuyou, but also brought Gu An and a dozen other Emei disciples. Although Emei is in decline, at the grand gathering of the branches of the sects in Shushan, it is easier to attract jokes if there are fewer people.

Shushan is the real big sect, with five branches including Emei Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Ziyun Palace, Lingjian Sect and Situ Family.

Among the several branches, the most powerful is the Lingjian Sect, followed by the Qingcheng Sect, followed by the most mysterious Ziyun Palace, the Situ Family rooted in the secular world, and finally Emei, where the ancient disputes are.

The ranking conference among Shushan branches is held every ten years. According to common sense, since it is a ranking conference, there must be rewards corresponding to the ranking.

There are two types of ranking rewards, but neither of them are substantial training resources. Among these two rewards, the most important one is the qualifications to enter the "Shu Ruins" in Shu Mountain.

The Ruins of Shu is a separate space. According to legend, it was a battlefield where good and evil fought in the era of prosperity. Later, due to various reasons, the Shu Ruins were closed and could be opened once every ten years. The opening time was only one month each time, and only thirty people could enter it.

There are also mountains and rivers in Shu Ruins, and the environment is like a deep mountain and old forest where no one has set foot, and there are many rare birds and beasts in it.

Those who entered the Shu Ruins did not want to practice there, but they wanted to seize the time to find various cultivation resources within a month.

Born in the Dharma Ending Age when all kinds of cultivation materials are scarce, Shu Ruins is undoubtedly an attractive treasure for cultivators.

A person can only enter the Shu Ruins once in his life. If he wants to enter the Shu Ruins a second time, he will be rejected by the laws of the Shu Ruins and cannot enter.

Although Shu Ruins has no restrictions on the cultivation level of cultivators, it is not a safe place. Therefore, those from various sects who can enter Shu Ruins must have at least a fourth level of cultivation.

Of the thirty places to enter the Shu Ruins, the Shushan sect occupies fifteen fixed places. As for the other fifteen places, although Shushan no longer participates in the competition, the branch sects it belongs to need to obtain through ranking.

According to the ranking, the first-ranked sect will have five places, the second-ranked sect will have four places, the third-ranked sect will have three places, the fourth-ranked sect will have two places, and the last-ranked sect will have one place.

Emei was once glorious, and there was a period when it occupied five places for a long time, but its gradual decline has also caused its number of places to gradually decrease. For as long as the two elders Wuyou and Wuyou can remember, Emei has always been ranked at the bottom in ranking conferences, and the only one who can enter the Shu Ruins is a very pitiful one.

It is precisely because of its decline that the Emei Sect had withdrawn from the competition for rankings long before the two elders Wuyou and Wuyou, and only wanted the last guaranteed spot. Another important reason for this situation is related to the rules of the ranking competition.

Competing for ranking is a challenge. If you want to get more places, you can only challenge the sect ranked first. In such a challenge, three people need to be sent to fight against the three from the challenged sect. The best of three games will determine whether to advance.

Although the level of immortal cultivators is restricted and they cannot compete, facing such a ranking system, the Emei Sect is undoubtedly very embarrassed. Long before the two elders Wuyou and Wuyou, they could not even get three fifth-level cultivators at a time. , and for other sects corresponding to Emei, there are basically more than three practitioners in the late fifth level.

After walking through the deep mountains for a long time, Gu Zheng and others finally arrived at their destination.

Ahead is a shrouding fog, which falls within the scope of the mountain guarding formation. Even if any explorers come here, they will get lost once they enter.

Under normal circumstances, when you come to Shushan, you need to shout and identify yourself when standing outside the formation. However, it is now the period of the ranking event, and Shushan has also arranged special arrangements to pick up the disciples, so that Gu Zheng and others walked out of the fog as soon as they arrived. A Taoist boy came to greet him.

Following the Taoist boy into the formation, after five minutes of stumbling around, his vision finally became clear. The fog that originally covered the sky completely disappeared, and the bluestone mountain gate that appeared in front of Gu Zheng and others was nine feet high, with the two characters "Shu Mountain" vigorously engraved on it.

Looking in through the mountain gate, an endless bluestone staircase seems to lead directly to the top of the mountain, and all the grass and trees inside the mountain gate look greener than those in the outside world.

The air is so fresh that people can't help but want to take a deep breath. Several unknown birds, dragging their long colorful tail feathers, fly in from outside the mountain gate. Their calls are crisp and melodious, adding a fairy atmosphere to Shushan.

"Uncle Master, how do you feel?"

Seeing Gu Zheng's slightly intoxicated deep breath, the Taoist boy smiled and asked.

"Although it is the end of the Dharma era, Shushan is still a rare and beautiful place in the world. This alone cannot be compared to Emei."

Although there was an element of pride in Taotong's smile, Gu Zheng still told the truth.

"I have never been to Emei, but the master uncle must be telling the truth. He is much more honest than some people from some sects."

Obviously very satisfied with Gu Zheng's answer, the smile on Tao Tong's face became even wider.

"Lead the way!"

Seeing that Taoist boy seemed to want to talk to Gu Zheng again, Elder Wuchou urged him.

The Taoist boy is only eleven or twelve years old. Although he grew up in Shushan, a place with strict discipline, he still has a childlike spirit in his heart. It seems that Gu Zheng is the leader of a sect at a young age, and he always speaks in a kind and gentle manner. Unlike the arrogant sect leaders he had received before, Tao Tong always talked to Gu Zheng intentionally or unintentionally. During this period, he even revealed a hint of curiosity about the outside world.

Everyone continued to follow the Taoist boy up the stairs. They still saw a quiet landscape in front of them. It was not like a grand gathering in the secular world. It was full of joy and lights. The tranquility possessed by Shushan seemed to be eternal. As everyone continued to climb higher, a refreshing fragrance in the air gradually became clearer.

"Huhu..."

Gu Zheng couldn't help but stop and savor the strange fragrance in the air while flaring his nostrils.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Elder Wuchou's cultivation level is still in the middle of the fifth level. It stands to reason that if there is any special smell in the air, he will smell it before Gu Zheng. But what he didn't know was that Gu Zheng's five senses had been strengthened by the wishes of 50,000 people, and it wasn't just the sense of smell that was sharper than him.

"Did the leader smell a refreshing fragrance?"

If Elder Wuyou realized something, the Taoist boy was so shocked that his eyes widened. Although he was not old, he lived in a sect like Shushan after all, and he was exposed to many things.

"Shu Mountain has a deep incense that floats eight miles away. One furnace can burn for a whole day. Only when the leader succeeds to the throne, or when there is a grand event like this, will Shu Mountain burn a furnace of deep incense every day to show its solemnity. This place still belongs to The fragrance of You Tanxiang enveloped the edge, and the Master Master actually smelled it? The person who can smell the fragrance of Youtan here must be at least in the middle to late stage of the fifth level!"

"I'm gifted with a great sense of smell, so it's not strange to smell it."

Gu Zheng laughed, and then changed the subject: "However, Shushan Youtanxiang is indeed very special. It is the best-smelling incense I have ever smelled. The fragrance is elegant but not greasy. , and the fragrance can spread so far, this is not comparable to worldly incense!”

Although he changed the subject, Gu Zheng was also sincerely sighing. The fragrance spread all over the place, which was as fragrant as his chicken blood soup.

"Uncle Master, what you said is great. I, I admire you very much!"

Tao Tong was naturally proud of Shushan, and any praise he received from Gu Zheng made him feel very comfortable. What's more, Gu Zheng could smell the smell of incense here, which was beyond his expectation. So when he heard Gu Zheng's sincere comments, he was so excited that he couldn't find the right words for a moment and jumped out rashly. The word "appreciation" comes out.

Gu Zheng couldn't help but laugh, but Elder Wuchou and the others glared at Tao Tong fiercely.

"hey-hey……"

Tao Tong, who also found that his words were inappropriate, stuck out his tongue at everyone, and then looked at Gu Zheng again.

"Uncle Master, you are a good person, but you have to be careful in this ranking meeting, someone is going to target you Emei!"

"Who wants to target us, Emei?"

Tao Tong's soft words made Gu Zheng frown.

"Uncle Master Master is a very nice person, so I'll tell you directly. However, Master Master Master, you can't tell others that I told you about this!" Tao Tong looked at Gu Zheng with expectant eyes. Hope.

"Don't worry, I won't let outsiders know." Seeing Gu Zheng nodded solemnly, the Taoist boy told him.

After hearing what Tao Tong said, Gu Zheng's face changed slightly and he snorted coldly. But just when he wanted to ask the boy something more, a man's voice sounded from the top of the steps.

"Junior Brother Yufeng, just send the guests here. The rest will be led by Senior Brother. You can quickly go back to the bottom of the mountain and wait!"

The speaker was a Taoist priest in his thirties. He was standing at the top of the steps. When Gu Zheng stopped to smell the fragrance of Youtan, he had already seen him.

"Yes, Senior Brother Yuluan!"

The Taoist boy saluted upward, then saluted Gu Zheng and others before walking towards the way they came.

After the Yufeng Taoist boy left, Gu Zheng and others continued to move forward with the Yuluan Taoist priest. Different people came to greet them in different areas. This was also Shushan's solemn way of hospitality.

However, Yuluan's personality is obviously different from Yufeng's. This person rarely speaks and has a cold face, as if everyone else owes him money.

After the Yuluan Taoist sent them off, he sent everyone from the Emei Sect to a resting place.

The guest rooms in Shushan are all on the mountainside, which is still some distance from the top of the mountain. The core of Shushan is naturally at the top of the mountain, where 90% of the buildings in Shushan are located. Looking from a distance, the antique carved beams and painted buildings stand in the clouds and mist, giving people a dreamy feeling like a mirage.

"Master, what did the Yufeng Taoist boy say to you on the steps before?"

In the guest room, Elder Wuyou couldn't help but ask.

"The Qingcheng faction is going to target us..."

Gu Zheng told Elder Wuyou and the others what the Yufeng Taoist boy said.

"This is indeed a troublesome thing, but it is not without countermeasures. It seems that I brought it with me correctly!"

Elder Wuchou gave a wry smile and took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from his luggage.

Not staying at the residence for long, Gu Zheng took the disciples of the Emei Sect to the top of the mountain to see the head of Shushan.

During this grand event, the head of Shushan and most of the elders also stayed in the main hall. After Gu Zheng and others passed by, some exchanges of greetings were inevitable.

"Master, how do you feel?"

Walking out of the hall, Elder Wuchou asked.

The several Emei masters before Gu Zheng could be described as ‘dying young’. The time they served as masters was too short for a sect.

The decline of the sect, the low level of their own cultivation, the short time they served as masters, the lack of aura that a master should have, and even the fact that they were forced to be masters, all these reasons created a lack of confidence, so that during a grand event, the then Emei master made a fool of himself in the hall, and when he walked out of the hall, he was directly exhausted.

“It’s okay!”

Gu Zheng shrugged and smiled. He naturally understood why Elder Wuchou asked this.

Shushan is a real big sect. There are so many elders in the late fifth level that it’s scary. Even immortal cultivators can be seen in the hall.

The reason for the large number of strong people naturally led to the depressing atmosphere in the hall. Coupled with some episodes such as strong people speaking with thorns, the previous master would faint after walking out of the hall. This is something that Gu Zheng can fully understand.

If we only talk about cultivation, Gu Zheng is on par with the embarrassing headmaster, but Gu Zheng is a true immortal cultivator. He doesn't take those high-ranking masters too seriously. Therefore, although some people's words were thorny this time, Gu Zheng still talked and laughed without being humble or arrogant, and there was naturally no pressure.

"Headmaster, those people just said something unpleasant, you..."

"It's okay, I'm not angry."

Gu Zheng interrupted Elder Wuyou and smiled at him knowingly.

The strong are respected, no matter where they are, this is the law of survival. Although some people in Shushan say something unpleasant, who can blame Emei for not being taken seriously? Although Gu Zheng was angry, he would not impulsively confront Shushan because of this.

"Let's go to Cangjian Peak!"

Not wanting to say more about the previous question, Gu Zheng waved his hand and stepped forward.

There are many strange peaks and rocks on Shushan Mountain, and among these attractions, the most famous one is the "Cangjian Peak".

In the heyday of the law, Shushan was indeed a sword immortal sect, and the rocky and steep Cangjian Peak was indeed filled with many flying swords.

The flying swords inserted on Cangjian Peak are not for people to see. They are a treasure left by the sword-making masters of Shushan in the heyday of the law for future disciples.

Every Shushan disciple has two opportunities to climb Cangjian Peak to find flying swords in his life.

The first opportunity is to climb Cangjian Peak's "Fanjian District" to find flying swords after ten years of entry.

The second opportunity is to climb Cangjian Peak's "Fanjian District" to find flying swords after thirty years of entry, or after entering the fifth level of cultivation. If one of the two conditions is met, you can climb Cangjian Peak for the second time and go to the "Spiritual Sword District" to find flying swords.

The Fanjian District of Cangjian Peak is in the lower half of the mountain, and the flying swords in it are called Fanjian. But even ordinary swords are still not comparable to the current sword-making technology. When the cultivator's cultivation level reaches a certain level, they are all flying swords that can carry people and fly.

The spiritual sword area of ​​Cangjian Peak is on the upper part of the mountain. The flying swords in it are all immortal weapons of various grades, so many that cultivators can drool at the sight.

However, whether it is the ordinary sword area or the spiritual sword area, there are very few people who can harvest flying swords from them since ancient times. The method of harvesting flying swords is also very simple, either the flying sword automatically chooses a master, or it is pulled out of the rock.

"Grand Elder, ordinary cultivators may not be able to pull out the flying sword, but what if there is a cultivator-level person, or someone who does not belong to the Shushan lineage at all, forcibly pulls out the flying sword?"

Gu An also came to Shushan for the first time, and he was also curious about Cangjian Peak.

"The Cangjian Peak has spirits. Disciples who are not from the Shushan lineage cannot get close to the Cangjian Peak."

"In the history of the Dharma Ending Age, there was indeed an evil cultivator who had reached the Return to Void Realm, climbed the Cangjian Peak, and pulled out a flying sword. However, the moment he pulled out the flying sword, his entire body was minced into a pulp by the sword energy that burst out from the Cangjian Peak!"

"At this point, both the good and evil factions no longer doubted that the Cangjian Peak was actually a huge immortal weapon refined by the powerful. When the Shushan was in danger of being destroyed, the flying swords on the entire Cangjian Peak would fly out to defend against the enemy. The scene of the rain of swords all over the sky would make people feel terrified just thinking about it!"

Elder Wuyou gave the answer, and his words also shocked those disciples who did not know this legend.

"Emei has the Chaos Tower, and Shushan has the Hidden Sword Peak. If this level of immortal weapon can be controlled by people, how terrifying will its power be!"

Looking at the Hidden Sword Peak hidden in the fog in front of him, Gu Zheng's shock could not be calmed for a long time.

As a branch sect of Shushan, Emei also has the opportunity to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak. However, this opportunity is different from the requirements for Shushan disciples to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak.

In common sense, branch disciples also have the opportunity to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak twice. However, the opportunity to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak twice is during the ten-year event, and the Hidden Sword Peak is not open to the public at other times.

During the ten-year event, Shushan branch disciples who have not set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak and have reached the fourth level of cultivation have a chance to set foot on the ordinary sword area of ​​the Hidden Sword Peak once. The second opportunity to set foot on the Hidden Sword Peak is related to the ten-year event!

During the ten-year event, there are two kinds of ranking rewards for branch sects, one is the quota to enter Shuxu, and the other is related to the Hidden Sword Peak.

First of all, the sect ranked first in the branch has the opportunity to select one person to enter the Hidden Sword Peak Spirit Sword Zone, and this person must be one of the three people participating in the ranking competition. This means that, based on the ranking of the sects, only one branch sect in every ten years has a quota to set foot in the Hidden Sword Peak Spirit Sword Zone!

Secondly, every time Shu Xu is opened, all branch sects need to gain a certain amount from Shu Mountain after leaving Shu Xu. . The minimum standards for harvesting are easily fulfilled inside, unless the whole army is wiped out and no one comes out.

Also, every time after leaving Shu Ruins, the sect that pays the most tribute will also be eligible to ascend to the Hidden Sword Mountain Spirit Sword Zone!

The requirements for branch sects to set foot on the Hidden Sword Mountain sound simple, but everyone is horrified when they think about it carefully. In addition to limiting the number of people from the branch sects, it can also be said to be a big pitfall to a certain extent.

Hidden Sword Peak is not very far from the main hall, it is also located on the top of the mountain. When Gu Zheng and others were approaching Zangjian Peak, eight people who also came towards Zangjian Peak appeared from another road leading to the top of the mountain.

Among the eight people, there were four female members, all dressed in white classical gauze. In addition, in terms of looks and figures, the four women all belong to the level of goddesses in the outside world. Although they look very young, three of them look like young women, and the other looks like three-year-old women. They are more than ten years old, but this does not prevent them from being dazzling.

But what really makes people open their eyes is not their beauty, but that the three women who look like young women are actually very rare triplets, and they are very similar.

Out of politeness, Gu Zheng and others had stopped, waiting for the arrival of the eight people below.

"These women should be from Ziyun Palace, right?"

Looking at the Yingying Yanyan below, Gu Zheng asked.

Among the branch sects in Shushan, Ziyun Palace is the most mysterious one, and the disciples in the sect are mainly female and rarely interact with other branch sects. They are better at Qimen Dunjia and proficient in the techniques of Yin Yang and Five Elements.

"Back to the leader, they are indeed from Ziyun Palace. The older one is Elder Xiaofeng from Ziyun Palace. As for the other three, we don't have any information about them. But don't look at it, the leader. These women are young, and Ziyun Palace has always been good at looking good. Elder Xiaofeng, who is slightly older, is actually twenty years older than me!"

Elder Wuyou answered, and some disciples' eyes immediately showed shock.

Elder Wuyou has white hair, but Elder Xiaofeng, who is twenty years older than him, is still as beautiful as a goddess, which is indeed a bit too evil.

"Senior brother is right. The leader must have heard of xx brand cosmetics, right? In fact, the real masters behind them are the disciples of Ziyun Palace."

Elder Wuchou's added words made Gu Zheng open his eyes wide.

Gu Zheng had naturally heard of the xx brand of cosmetics. It was the leading brand in the cosmetics industry. I never expected that the owner behind such a foreign brand would be the most mysterious disciple of Ziyun Palace.

"Head, the other men are members of the secular Situ family. The elder leader is named Situ Chengwei. As for the juniors below him, I know two of them. One is named Situ Mingguo. The other one is called Situ Mingjun. When the grand event started ten years ago, when they came here with their family elders, their cultivation level was already at the late fourth level. At that time, these two people also tried their luck at Hidden Sword Peak, but they also found nothing. "

"In this grand gathering, the quota for the Situ family to enter the Shu Ruins is very likely determined by Situ Mingguo and Situ Mingjun. As for the other junior, it seems to be the genius of the Situ family, Situ Cong, thirty-five years old By that time, he had already reached the middle stage of the fourth level, which is indeed commendable. "

When Elder Wuchou told Gu Zheng this, Situ Mingguo and Situ Mingjun also looked at Emei, with a fleeting look of contempt in them. As for that Situ Chengwei, he looked like he was walking with his head down, while that Situ Cong was only joking with the triplets in Ziyun Palace and didn't even look at Emei.

The Situ family was the most involved branch of the Shushan branch. After their ancestors left Shushan, they immediately took refuge in the imperial court at that time. Since then, it seems that there have always been members of the Situ family around the imperial power of all dynasties! From a mortal perspective, the Situ family is definitely a family that no one can afford to offend.

"Fellow Daoist Xiaofeng, Brother Situ, you are fine!"

Several people at the foot of the mountain had come closer, and Elder Wuyou clasped his fists and spoke.

"Come and be safe!"

Elder Xiaofeng and Situ Chengwei returned the salute with fists clasped.

"This is the ancient battle for our new head of Emei."

Following Elder Wuyou's introduction, Gu Zheng also cupped his fists at the two of them as a salute: "Two seniors, I have admired you for a long time!"

Etiquette has actually been weakened a lot in this era, but these people in front of them are all from the Shu Mountain lineage, and some etiquette should still be observed.

Normally, the default seniority is the same as the head master. According to this unwritten rule, Gu Zheng's seniority is indeed lower than Elder Xiaofeng and Situ Chengwei.

"It turns out to be Sect Master Gu. I'm glad to meet him."

Situ Chengwei rolled his eyes upward and said lightly.

"The new leaders of Emei these days are getting younger and younger. I hope the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead!"

Elder Xiaofeng frowned slightly and sighed after finishing his words.

Although Gu Zheng took over as the head of Emei, there was no big banquet to inform his colleagues, but for Shushan and several other branch sects, Elder Wuyou still arranged for letters to be notified, so they did not say anything about Gu Zheng as the head. Especially strange.

"The disciples of Ziyun Palace have met the ancient master."

"Disciples of the Situ family have met the ancient leader."

Since Elder Wuyou introduced Gu Zheng on such a relatively formal occasion, several other people from Ziyun Palace and the Situ family also bowed to Gu Zheng.

Facing the greetings from the younger generation, Gu Zheng smiled and nodded on the surface, but there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Growing up in the secular world, Gu Zheng is not a formal person. Since etiquette is indispensable at special times, he should at least be sincere on the surface, right? Just like how he greeted Elder Xiaofeng and Situ Chengwei just now, his behavior and expression were very appropriate.

But when the three women from Ziyun Palace were receiving gifts, their eyes were very irregular, giving Gu Zheng the feeling that they were looking at a stuffed toy hidden in the window. As for that Situ Cong, he looked even more lazy and reluctant when receiving the gift.

"Ling Xue, Ling Yu, Ling Bing, are you too presumptuous? No matter how tender-faced Master Gu is, he is still your senior uncle. Apologize to Master Gu immediately!"

Elder Xiaofeng shouted sharply, while the triplets stuck out their tongues.

"Please ask Master Gu to atone for your sins!"

"Ha ha……"

If it were a normal situation, Gu Zheng would definitely say "nothing" when faced with this situation, but today's environment is different. It seems better to look at a naughty boy and shake his head with a smile.

Sure enough, Gu Zheng's reaction was beyond the expectations of the triplets. One of them even secretly glanced at Gu Zheng, and then they all stood beside Elder Xiaofeng obediently.

For Elder Xiaofeng, Gu Zheng's impression is still good. As for the Situ family, the impression they left on Gu Zheng was really bad. Not to mention anything else, Gu Zheng's smile just now made them all frown, and their eyes were full of disdain for his leader. Disrecognition of identity.

"snort."

The unfriendliness of Situ's family is not new to today. Elder Wuyou, who is not very good-tempered, couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Elder Wuchou's cold snort made Situ Chengwei frown even more.

However, his frown soon relaxed, and Situ Chengwei rolled his eyes and smiled maliciously.

"Wuchou, it seems that you are also going to Hidden Sword Peak. What? Are you going to just stand and watch the fun this time?"

During the last grand gathering, the Emei Sect did not have any disciples who met the requirements to climb Hidden Sword Peak, but their viewing aroused a lot of cynicism. If they had not found Gu Zheng as their leader this year, the Emei Sect would not have come near this sad place during this grand event.

"you……"

Elder Wuchou was about to say something, but the voice of Gu Zheng also sounded.

"Watching the excitement? No, no, senior's ideas are too simple."

Gu Zheng looked at Situ Chengwei with wide eyes and shook his head, as if he was shocked by Situ Chengwei's thoughts.

"Pfft..."

One of the triplets couldn't help laughing. After receiving a glare from Elder Xiaofeng, he quickly lowered his head and looked at his toes.

"It is big news that the Emei Sect can produce a disciple of the fourth level in recent years! But it is a pity that in the past ten years, no one from the Emei Sect has been able to enter the fourth level. Could it be said that the age of the ancient leader Entered easily The fourth level? Or is it that the Emei sect is not going to stand and watch the fun this time, but will sit on a stool and watch the fun under the leadership of the leader Gu? If the leader Gu really wants to do this, what will happen to me before? The idea is indeed too simple!”

Situ Cheng laughed with great authority, and following his teasing, several people in the Situ family also burst into hearty laughter.

"Senior's thoughts are simple, and his thoughts are quite simple. He just moved a stool to watch the excitement. This kind of idea is probably only born by a person as simple as senior. Who stipulates that you cannot enter the fourth level at a young age? Woolen cloth?"

Situ Chengwei has a good reputation, but Gu Zheng is not afraid of offending him. Besides, unless it is a feuding sect like Qingcheng, this kind of bickering friction is nothing if it happens to other sects. This matter, at least on this Shushan Mountain, will never turn into any armed conflict.

Second update
