Chapter 161 Qingzhou Mountain and Sea Division, Little Penglai in the Clouds
After Lu Chen's trial, none of the remaining trialists could pass the third level of the walking trial.
Therefore, among the seven trialists in the third level.
In the end, only Zuo Qiuzi, Mu Xiaoye, and Lu Chen passed the trial and became trainee walkers of the Shanhai Division.
Seven people passed three, which seems to be a high ratio.
But in fact, in previous years' walking trials, only one or two people could pass at a time.
Sometimes there was not even one person who could pass.
Therefore, three people passed in a walking trial, which is the most in the Linjiang Shanhai Division in the past ten years.
However, in previous years, many people would complain after stopping at the last level.
But this year's trialists had no complaints about their failure.
After all, they saw with their own eyes what level the three people who could pass the trial were.
As for the strength shown by Lu Chen and the other two, none of them could match it.
It's normal to fail the assessment!
A dish is a dish, there's nothing to say.
Linjiang Shanhai Division, in the office of the chief manager.
"Here, this is your Shanhaisi travel license, take it."
Lu Chen took the so-called 'travel license' from Zhong Yaojun and looked at it curiously.
Because before this, he thought that the so-called 'travel license' should be something like an ID card.
But in fact, the real travel license is a strange little sheepskin roll.
Or, it is a special object similar to a sheepskin roll.
Perhaps seeing the doubts of Lu Chen and others, Zhong Yaojun in the room immediately explained.
"In fact, the so-called walking license is a blank mountain and sea scroll."
"When you get your own mountain and sea beasts in the future, the mountain and sea beasts you contracted will temporarily live in this mountain and sea scroll and can be summoned at any time."
"In addition, this mountain and sea scroll has a similar ability to the small cave, which can pull the enemy into the subspace."
"In this way, you can not only restrict the enemy, but also ensure that ordinary people will not be affected when performing tasks."
"But it is not easy to pull the enemy into the subspace. This requires you to have the strength above the foundation-building stage, master the use of divine thoughts, and be able to lock the soul before you can perform it."
"This is why most of the mountain and sea walking is the reason for the foundation-building stage."
Hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood the role of this "walking license".
In principle, the relationship between this mountain and sea scroll and mountain and sea beasts is similar to the relationship between the Poké Ball and Pokémon in his previous life.
In addition to these, the mountain and sea scroll can now be used as a special space magic weapon.
Lu Chen had suffered from the loss of the Mountain and Sea Scroll at the hands of Bai Ling.
At that time, he was only in the Qi training stage and had no idea about the spiritual means of the foundation building stage.
So without knowing it, he was directly pulled into the subspace of the Mountain and Sea Scroll by Bai Ling.
If Lu Chen and Bai Ling were to fight again, he would be 100% sure that he could let her feel what it meant to be defeated.
After talking to Lu Chen and others about the role of the "walking license", Zhong Yaojun immediately talked to the three of them about some of the benefits of becoming a mountain and sea walker.
"Student Zuo is a student of Shangqing Taoist Academy. Your college tutor should have told you what benefits you can get after becoming a mountain and sea walker, so I don't need to explain too much to you."
"But students Lu and Mu are only senior high school students in Luocheng. They should not know what special benefits they can get after becoming a mountain and sea walker, so I will take some time to talk to them."
Hearing Zhong Yaojun's words, Zuo Qiuzi looked at Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye in surprise.
You know, although she thought Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were too young before, she never thought that Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were just senior high school students.
You know, the cultivation resources that senior high school students can access are completely different from those that can be accessed in the Taoist Academy.
One year of cultivation in the Taoist Academy is equivalent to ten years of cultivation in other places.
Lu Chen and Mu Xiaoye were able to achieve their current strength before entering the Taoist Academy.
Then when they enter the Taoist Academy, how terrifying will their strength be? Zuo Qiuzi dare not even think about it.
Are high school students this year so terrifying?
Compared to the two of them, how come I, a junior student at Shangqing Taoist Academy, look like a waste...
Zhong Yaojun didn't care about Zuo Qiuzi's sad expression, and immediately talked to Lu Chen about what conveniences they could get after becoming mountain and sea walkers.
"Generally speaking, the benefits of becoming a mountain and sea walker can be divided into two categories. One category is adult cultivators like Yangyang and Xiao Leizi who have graduated from the Taoist Academy."
"In addition to receiving a fixed amount of immortal alliance spirit coins as wages every month, they can also exchange various natural treasures, special blessed land usage time, or magic weapons and instruments from our company based on their contribution points."
"And these natural treasures, magic weapons and instruments are not only rare and top-quality on the market, but their prices are generally about 30% cheaper than those on the market."
"In addition, no matter where our company's walkers go, they have the right to command immortal alliance cultivators from all over the country to help perform tasks, and can freely enter and exit some places controlled by the immortal alliance, such as some secret caves managed by the immortal alliance, or the four forbidden areas outside the immortal alliance."
Hearing this, Lu Chen asked curiously: "Zhong Zhangjing, what are these four forbidden areas?"
Zhong Yaojun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Lu Chen had not entered the Taoist temple yet, so he did not know the existence of these four forbidden areas.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yaojun immediately explained: "The so-called four forbidden areas are actually four places that non-monks are not allowed to enter."
"Because these places not only live with a large number of alien races, spiritual beasts, demons, ghosts, etc., but also have unique geographical environments. Even for monks, they are extremely dangerous places."
"Take the forbidden land in the south, Mahakala, as an example. There is a foreign race named Jiuyou living in Mahakala. Their tribesmen are all kinds of strange, and some of them are comparable to the Golden Core Stage monks."
"When the four major courtyards in the Immortal Alliance were selected, one of their purposes was to suppress these forbidden areas."
"After all, the Taoist Academy is, in a sense, the most powerful monk force in the Immortal Alliance besides our company and other sects."
"If it weren't for the Taoist suppression, these forbidden areas might have spread to the interior of Kyushu, affecting the normal lives of the people of the Immortal Alliance."
"But as the saying goes, good fortune comes with misfortune. Although these forbidden areas are dangerous, they also contain many treasures."
"Some special treasures of heaven, materials and earth are only found in these forbidden areas."
"The Four Avenues' current transcendent status is certainly due to their powerful inheritance, but it is also related to the forbidden areas outside the boundaries where they are located."
"After all, some special cultivation resources are brought out from the forbidden areas by the Four Avenues. They are treasures that belong exclusively to them."
"Otherwise, why do you think there are so many sects willing to send their disciples to the Four Avenues Courtyard?"
"What they are interested in is these special cultivation resources in the Taoist temple."
"The Wanjian Mountain of Shangqing Taoist Temple, the Jiuyou Yehuo of Lihuo Taoist Temple, the Sun and Moon Forest of Xuanshui Taoist Temple, and the Great Wilderness Tower of Wilderness Taoist Temple. These are the reasons why the Four Great Dao Temples are different from other Taoist temples."
"And these special cultivation resources are all related to the four forbidden areas outside the Immortal Alliance."
"But even for students of the Fourth Avenue Academy, it is not easy to enter the forbidden area."
"Basically speaking, unless there is a Taoist instructor leading the team, or one has obtained the walking qualification of Shanhaisi."
"Otherwise, ordinary Taoist students will not be allowed to enter the four forbidden areas privately."
Hearing this, Lu Chen almost understood.
He looked at Zhong Yaojun and said, "So this walking license is essentially a forbidden area pass?"
Zhong Yaojun nodded and said, "Well, it's okay if you understand it that way."
"I have talked so much about the benefits of Shanhaisi, and now I will also talk about the obligations of becoming a Shanhaishi."
"Because of the three of you, one is a Taoist student and the other two are quasi-Taoist students, so some of the obligations that need to be borne by normal mountain and sea walking will not fall on you for the time being."
"Normally speaking, after each mountain and sea walker obtains his own mountain and sea beast, he needs to serve in the designated mountain and sea department within the specified time, and then complete the designated mountain and sea department tasks every year."
"But for students who can walk on mountains and seas while in the Taoist Academy, you don't have these requirements for the time being."
"Because at this stage of mountain and sea walking, you are only following the orders of the college, and all tasks will be given to you in the form of credit assessment."
"Take Zuo as an example. She is a student of Shangqing Taoist Temple, so she will only receive tasks from Shangqing Taoist Temple. After completing the tasks, in addition to receiving our company's contribution points as a reward, she can also obtain internal information from the Taoist Institute. credits as a reward.”
"As for how important credits are to Taoist students, Mr. Zuo should know best."
Zuo Qiuzi on the side nodded and said: "In our college, credits can not only be used for practice, but they are also linked to whether we can successfully upgrade. Once there are three cumulative cases of not having enough credits and repeating the grade, we will be ordered by the college. Drop out of school.”
"I thought of taking the Mountain and Sea Walking exam because I didn't have enough credits."
"After all, if you just complete the normal learning tasks in the academy, you won't actually get many credits. It will barely satisfy your daily practice, and it will be difficult to go further."
"So students from any Taoist school will try their best to become a mountain and sea walker before their senior year."
"Because only in this way can we be sure to obtain enough credits to graduate from the Taoist Academy."
Hearing this, Lu Chen asked: "So if you don't become a mountain and sea walker, will it be easy to earn enough credits for graduation?"
Zuo Qiuzi thought for a while and said, "You can't say that. If you just want basic cultivation resources and graduate successfully, then completing the basic learning tasks of the college is actually enough."
"But the credits obtained in this way are very tight. You have to be careful with your calculations. Only after you have enough credits for upgrades can you use the excess credits carefully."
"But it's different to become a Mountain and Sea Walker. Even if we only complete the Shanhaisi mission once a year, the credit rewards we get are enough for us to accumulate enough credits for upgrades while practicing in the Taoist temple."
"Therefore, as long as students have certain requirements for their future, they will definitely find a way to pass Shanhaisi's walking test, let alone gain special powers like mountain and sea beasts after becoming a walker."
Hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood why so many students from the Fourth Avenue Academy wanted to become the walking master of Shanhaisi.
In a sense, the Taoist Academy and Shanhaisi are also using this method to allow the students of the Taoist Academy to give back their strength to the Immortal Alliance.
But Lu Chen didn't know what he thought of, and wondered: "Since Taoist students value mountain and sea walking so much, why didn't I see too many Shangqing Taoist students in this trial?"
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Qiuzi suddenly looked embarrassed.
Zhong Yaojun on the side laughed loudly and explained: "Of course this is because there is actually a walking trial inside the Taoist Academy!"
"Student Zuo probably failed the college's internal assessment, so he used the winter vacation to come to our Linjiang Shanhai Division to try his luck."
"Actually, situations like hers are not uncommon. After all, in addition to our Linjiang City, there are two other cities in Qingzhou that are also qualified to hold walking trials."
"Among them, the city where Taoist students go most often is the city where Shangqing Taoist Temple is located... Qilong City."
Zuo Qiuzi nodded and said: "Yes, most of my classmates will actually choose to try the second walking trial in Qilongcheng during the winter vacation. I take the walking trial here because my home is here in Linjiang. "
After hearing this, Lu Chen finally understood.
Seeing that the matter was almost finished, Zhong Yaojun immediately talked about the last thing.
"Okay, I've almost said everything about Shanhaisi's benefits and obligations."
"After students Lu and Mu go to the Taoist Academy, there will naturally be instructors from the Taoist Academy who will arrange some Shanhaisi tasks for you based on your situation."
"The last thing I want to tell you right now is the most important thing in becoming a mountain and sea walker...the choice of mountain and sea beasts."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen and others immediately became serious.
Because that’s why they’ve become a big part of mountain and sea walking.
"You should also know about the relationship between our company and the strange beasts of the mountains and seas through other channels, so I won't waste my time on this."
"Right now, I'm mainly going to tell you about the situation of obtaining the strange beasts from the mountains and seas."
"The mountain and sea beasts in our company are divided into four imperial, five old, six divisions, seven yuan, eight extremes, nine stars and ten capitals according to their fate levels."
"Among them, the mountain and sea beast that you can obtain the highest fate for the first time is at the level of Sixth Division."
"And this fate level is the lower limit, not the upper limit."
"Theoretically, even a mountain and sea beast with a destiny level of 'Shidu' will still have the opportunity to upgrade its destiny level to the level of 'Four Imperials'."
"But it's not easy to improve the fate of mountain and sea beasts."
"Because this requires you to help them live their corresponding fate according to the characteristics of their respective mountains and seas."
"No matter which mountain or sea beast it is, after completing the contract for the first time, it will start at the level of 'Shidu'."
"Our company only measures the destiny level of a mountain and sea beast based on the highest destiny level that the mountain and sea beast has ever reached in its history."
"So even if you obtain a 'Sixth Division' level mountain and sea beast, this does not mean that you can immediately obtain the power of a 'Sixth Division' level beast."
"It means that as long as you rely on the experience of your predecessors, you can relatively easily upgrade your mountain and sea beasts to the 'Sixth Division' level."
"But whether you can bring your mountain and sea beasts to a higher level in the future depends on you."
"As for obtaining exotic beasts from the mountains and seas, I, the Linjiang Shanhai Division, do not have the ability."
"So you must go to our company's headquarters in Qingzhou, Qingzhou Shanhai Division."
"Or it can be said that it is the small Penglai in the clouds within the Qingzhou Shanhai Division."
"Because only in Xiao Penglai can you truly come into contact with those strange beasts of the mountains and seas, and also have the opportunity to contract with the strange beasts that suit you."
