In Fang City, Jiang Ping'an spent ten spiritual stones to buy a generous gift, and then spent five spiritual stones to buy a pot of Spirit Wine and several Spirit Fruit, and then rode to find He Zudao's cave.
According to the sect map, it took Jiang Ping'an more than an hour to arrive at Tiger Head Ridge.
I saw Tiger Head Ridge Killing Intent diffuse, shaped like a dormant giant beast. There are more than a dozen caves scattered in the mountain, some hidden in the poisonous deep pools, or hidden on the steep cliffs.
Compared with the picturesque Mirror Lake Mountain, Tiger Head Ridge is not a good place at first glance.
Jiang Ping'an couldn't help but become vigilant and rode up the mountain to look for Cave Mansion C.
Based on the terrain, he roughly judged the three best caves, and then walked towards the cave he thought was ranked third.
Facts have proved that his judgment was correct, that cave is Cave Mansion C.
After getting off the horse, Jiang Ping'an pulled the silver bell rope and waited patiently.
After about half a cup of tea, a laugh came from Defense Array in the cave, "Haha, I didn't expect that it was Junior Brother Jiang who came to see me."
As laughter came, the magic circle opened, the fog dispersed, and a passage appeared, and He Zudao walked out with a smile on his face.
"Meet Uncle He." Jiang Ping'an bowed seriously.
Although He Zudao is not much older than Jiang Ping'an, he is a Qi Refining Realm monk and Outer Sect Disciple. According to the Azure Origin Sect rules, he has to be called Master Uncle.
He Zudao smiled and returned the greeting slightly, "Haha, why did Junior Brother He call me old? You and I are not much different in age, so you should call me Senior Brother. Please come to your house and sit down."
"I'm sorry to bother you, Senior Brother He," Jiang Ping'an changed his name.
After saying that, he followed He Zudao into the magic circle.
Not long after, Jiang Ping'an followed He Zudao into the cave.
Jiang Ping'an took out the generous gift he had prepared, presented it to He Zudao with both hands and said, "This is my little thought, please accept it, Senior Brother He."
"Junior Brother Jiang is interested." He Zudao accepted the gift with a smile.
Jiang Ping'an then took out the prepared Spirit Wine and Spirit Fruit and placed them on the table.
Seeing this, He Zudao pretended to blame. "Junior brother Jiang, are you worried that I won't entertain you? Why did you bring Spirit Wine and Spirit Fruit here? Don't do this next time."
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "Senior brother He, you are joking. You are willing to meet me and discuss things with me, which is already a huge honor for me. This Spirit Wine Spirit Fruit is because I want to add some atmosphere when chatting with you. How can I compare with your reception? Just don't think it's shabby."
He Zudao laughed and said, "If I care about it, it will make me angry. Well, today I will lend you your Spirit Wine Spirit Fruit to entertain you. Let's sit down and chat."
After speaking, he made a gesture of please to Jiang Ping'an.
After sitting down, He Zudao took his wine glass from the air and placed it on the table.
Jiang Ping'an picked up the wine pot and poured wine into He Zudao's wine glass first.
He Zudao took a careful look at Spirit Wine and saw that when Spirit Wine was poured into the wine glass, a layer of spiritual energy rushed out, and there was a rich aroma of wine. I knew it was good Spirit Wine.
After filling up two glasses of Spirit Wine, Jiang Ping'an asked He Zudao first, and the two drank one glass at a time.
Putting down the wine glass, He Zudao asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Jiang has been here for half a month, how have you been?"
"Thank you, Senior Brother He, for your concern. I am doing well." Jiang Ping'an replied.
He Zudao was a little surprised when he heard that he was not coming to ask for help. He thought to himself: This junior brother Jiang is very grateful and repays his kindness. It is not in vain for me to treat him differently.
He smiled and asked, "How did you do with the task of carving the formation stones? If you don't understand, I can teach you."
"Thank you, Senior Brother He, for your kindness." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile, "This morning, I completed my task for this month and successfully carved a basic formation stone, so I dare to visit you when I have free time."
He Zudao smiled and said, "Junior Brother Jiang is really talented in formations. In just over half a month, you not only learned and carved out a Basic Formations, but also improved your cultivation. Brother Yu admires it."
The two chatted while drinking. He Zudao knew that Jiang Ping'an was simply visiting to express his gratitude, so he spoke more casually.
Moreover, he intended to tell Jiang Ping'an some things within the sect so that Jiang Ping'an could gain more knowledge, so the visit to him was not in vain.
"We Azure Origin Sect and Outer Sect Disciple have about three thousand people, and there are more than a hundred and dozens of inner disciples." He Zhongdao introduced.
"The inner disciples are all Foundation Building Realm major cultivators. They are a little far away from you, so I will tell you about Outer Sect Disciple."
"As the saying goes, beauty brings disaster. Junior Brother Jiang, you are very young. When you see a beautiful woman, you will inevitably fall in love with him. But you must be careful in the door. It is best to keep a distance from beautiful women you don't know."
"You must never come into contact with Joyful Union Peak women, otherwise all your hard-earned cultivation will be wiped out and Dao Path will be destroyed."
Jiang Ping'an nodded in agreement. "Senior Brother He is right."
He Zudao continued, "The female cultivators Azure Gu Peak, Primordial Fiend Peak, Blood Origin Peak and Spirit Devouring Peak are also Just keep away from poisonous and thorny flowers. Only our female cultivators at Mystic Array Peak can have proper contact with them. What I'm talking about is the female cultivators who truly practice <Azure Nether Illusory Array Canon>, not those in name only."
Jiang Ping'an nodded.
He Zudao added, "Among them, Top Ten Fairies among Outer Sect Disciple even walked around when he saw them. We Azure Origin Sect are violent If you are angry, some senior brothers will kill someone if they don't like you. Just imagine, you were casually killed by her suitor just because you said a word to one of Top Ten Fairies. Isn't it very unfair?"
"It's just snowing in June." Jiang Ping'an agreed.
He immediately asked for advice, "May I ask who Top Ten Fairies is? I will stay away from them in the future."
He Zudao introduced, "They are Yue Qingning, Xue Luoyi, Su Yeli, Yu Lianhua, Yin Suhun, Qu Hongxiao, You Tan, Xuan Suwen, Leng Qingchen and Dongfang Jintang."
Hearing the four words "Dongfang Jintang", Jiang Ping'an was slightly startled and thought to himself: I didn't expect that Dongfang Jintang was actually one of Outer Sect Disciple Top Ten Fairies. I actually shared the cave with her, which is really asking for trouble. I have to move out quickly.
After chatting about women, He Zudao continued to chat about things within the Azure Origin Sect.
"Six months later, you handyman disciples will usher in a competition that occurs every five years." He Zudao introduced, "Because there are too many handyman disciples, we will use the self-registration method. Unfortunately, you are not yet a late Spirit Aperture Realm, so you will not have time to participate."
Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "I'm not good at fighting, and I don't like fighting. I just want to study formations. If I don't have time to participate, there is no loss."
He Zudao shook his head and said, "You can't say that. The rewards of the competition are very generous. For example, the first place in the competition will be rewarded with high-grade true energy, such as Lunar Moonlight, Heavenly Firmament Gaseous Qi... and so on. This is a treasure that monk Spirit Aperture Realm can never get by himself."
Jiang Ping'an heard this and couldn't help being surprised and eager.
If he can obtain high-grade true energy, use the high-grade true energy as a seed, and be promoted to the Qi Refining Realm, then he can go very far no matter how poor his qualifications for cultivating immortals are.
He Zudao saw Jiang Ping'an's expression in his eyes and smiled, "The top ten in the competition can all get true Qi, and the worst True Qi is also a middle-grade True Qi."
"If Junior Brother Jiang is confident, he might as well delay for a year or two and compete for the Menial Disciple Competition in five years."
Jiang Ping'an stood up, bowed his hands to He Zudao and said, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother He, for letting me know. I am very grateful."
He Zudao couldn't help but look surprised and said, "Are you going to participate in the competition in six months?"
"I have this idea." Jiang Ping'an said, "At least give it a try."
