Chapter 371 – The Pavilion of Immortal Ascension
”The ten cultivators that you challenged, Fellow Daoist Han, are actually temporary fighters that those large households hired at a high price from their own island’s guards. Although each of them does not have a high cultivation level, because they often go out to sea to fight and kill demonic beasts, and they also fight and spar with cultivators from other islands, so in terms of experience and means of fighting against the enemy, they can be much better than ordinary cultivators. Not to mention that their cultivation is not as good as the other party, it’s not strange for an ordinary cultivator whose cultivation is two or three levels higher than theirs to lose at their hands!” Wen Boom said with a look of wonder and tsked.
”It’s nothing, Mister Han just got lucky!” Han Li smiled and said politely. In terms of being experienced in fighting, he asked himself that he had quite a bit of experience, ah!
”By the way, you, Fellow Daoist, came here because you wanted to go to the Immortal Densification Pavilion to do some formalities, right?” The youth looked in the direction of the green mountain and turned back to ask with a smile.
”Fellow Daoist Wen guessed correctly. I do want to go through the formalities of settling down on the island, and incidentally want to pick a piece of shelter for cultivation.”
There was nothing to hide about these matters, so Han Li spoke out with a frank expression.
”Heh! I’ve been to the Immortal Ascension Pavilion several times before, so why don’t I show you the way anyway just on the way! Otherwise this Qing Yun Mountain is so big, it’s really not easy to find.” Wen Boom suggested without thinking after hearing Han Li’s words.
Seeing that the other party was so proactive and enthusiastic, Han Li was slightly stunned for a moment before thanking him repeatedly.
Thus, the two flew side by side toward the large mountain in front of them.
”This Green Cloud Mountain on this island has three hundred and sixty-seven smaller peaks in addition to the three giant peaks of Heavenly Pillar Peak, Heavenly Night Peak, and Heavenly Gate Peak. The various sized caves and valleys are even more numerous, so it can be said that there are many places where one can cultivate.” While flying forward, the youth gushingly introduced Han Li to the mountain range in front of him.
”Of course, although most of the Green Cloud Mountain is on a not-so-small spiritual vein, the density of the spiritual qi is definitely not the same. Generally speaking the higher the mountain peak. The more abundant its spiritual qi is a bit, so the thirty-six peaks with the densest spiritual qi became the target of this island’s once-in-a-decade spiritual land challenge. Anyone who feels that their cultivation level is higher than that of the thirty-six mountain peak lords. They can challenge them at will, and the winner will be able to enter this peak. As for the other peaks, the difference in spiritual energy is not very big, generally as long as there are cultivators who have entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, they can automatically obtain one of the peaks as a place of cultivation. As for Qi Refining Stage cultivators, they can only honestly find some valleys and caves and such places to cultivate.”
”The Foundation Establishment Stage can own a mountain peak alone?” Han Li was greatly surprised.
”Yes, but the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators on this island have pretty much taken it over. Qi Refining Stage cultivators like us shouldn’t think about such a good thing.” The youth said mockingly.
”Oh!” Han Li’s mind turned around with various thoughts and became somewhat excited.
”Right. Those three main peaks are so tall, wouldn’t the spiritual qi up there be even more abundant!” Han Li suddenly asked casually as if thinking of something.
”That’s for sure. The tallest one, the Heavenly Pillar Peak, is the land of this island’s spiritual eyes, and is the cultivation place of Island Lord Wood Dragon Realist, which no other cultivators are allowed to enter. I’ve heard that Island Master Mu is a mid-stage JieDan cultivator, his divine abilities are powerful. And Tianmen Peak and Tianyao Peak are the cave residences of the two Vice Island Masters, Realist Yuan Jun and Realist Kan Qin, although they are a bit inferior to Tianzhu Peak, the spiritual qi is likewise several times better than the rest of the place ah.” Wen Boom said. A few envious looks were revealed.
”Fellow Daoist Wen, are the two Vice Island Masters also seniors at the JieDan stage?” Han Li raised the tip of his eyebrows at the words and slowly asked.
”Not only are the two Vice Island Masters early stage JieDan cultivators, but they are also a dual-cultivation Daoist couple.” Wen Boom shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Han Li inadvertently frowned lightly. For a single Kui Xing Island to have three JieDan stage cultivators was really out of his expectation.
While Han Li was secretly pondering, he had already entered the middle of Qing Yun Mountain with Wen Boom, and occasionally met a few cultivators who were also flying on imperial weapons.
However, they only glanced coldly at the two before flying off on their own.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Han Li finally flew into a higher peak under Wen Boom’s leadership.
On top of the peak was a small two-story attic that had been built for an unknown amount of time. The exterior was not only tattered and worn out, but there was also a plaque on the door with a corner missing, on which were written three crooked black characters, “Dengxian Pavilion”.
Seeing this, Han Li was stunned.
”This is ……” Although he saw the signboard, Han Li still couldn’t believe it and couldn’t help but turn his face toward Wen Boom and ask.
”Although I don’t want to admit it, this is indeed the Dengxian Pavilion.” The youth revealed a helpless look and said with both hands spread out.
”Alright! I’ll send it here. Also, the senior in charge of the Dengxian Pavilion has a bit of a strange temper! Fellow Daoist should pay more attention!” The youth waved goodbye to Han Li and transmitted a voice of caution as he parted.
Han Li faintly watched the youth disappear, and after shaking his head absently, he landed in front of the pavilion with his usual demeanor and slowly walked over.
But just as he reached the door, a somewhat gloomy voice came from his ears, “Come in! The door is covered.” Hearing these words, Han Li’s heart flinched, but without hesitation, he walked into the attic.
Walking inside the attic, Han Li was dumbfounded.
Inside was surprisingly the polar opposite of the attic’s appearance, being decorated with opulence and splendor! The floor was covered with flaming red shiny precious silk, the walls were inlaid with gold embedded jade, countless bright crystal gemstones in the above flashing non-stop, there are a few Han Li simply do not know what varieties of colorful flowers and plants, placed in the corner of the attic.
And Han Li opposite to put a strange stone bed, this bed blue saddlebags throw bang chan, although I do not know what is made of, but is certainly rare and unusual things.
On top of it, there was a middle-aged man with a haggard face half lying down, this person was wearing a fiery red dazzling leather n, his hands wrapped around a white huge pearl, and he was faintly looking at Han Li.
”Good day senior, I’m here for the settlement procedures, may I ask if senior is in charge of this matter?” Han Li pressed down the consternation in his heart and bowed, respectfully asking.
”Settlement? Is there a guarantor?” The middle-aged man coughed lightly and asked breathlessly.
”There is!” Han Li immediately took out the piece of paperwork given by the Gu family and took two steps forward to hand it over. He didn’t dare to underestimate this person, as the fluctuation of spiritual energy on the other party’s body clearly told him that this person was a powerful cultivator of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
The middle-aged man took the pledge document in Han Li’s hand and placed it down with a slight sweep. Then with a flash of refined light in his eyes, he sized him up.
”I’ve heard that there’s a new cultivator on the island who defeated the escort with a cultivation level of five, it can’t be you!” The middle-aged man stroked the pearl in his arms with one hand and asked suddenly with some carelessness.
Hearing the other party ask such a question, Han Li was slightly startled in his heart, and under his breath, he hastened to humbly say, “It was just a fluke on the part of my junior! It shall not be true!”
”Humph! A fluke ……” This person snorted with a cold smile.
Seeing the other party’s expression, Han Li secretly frowned, while his heart was somewhat puzzled: “This competition was only a few days ago, how does this person know?”
As if seeing Han Li’s puzzlement, the middle-aged man tightened the leather n on his body, and then said without moving his face, “The escort guy you defeated happened to be one of my untalented disciples! Surprisingly, he lost to an opponent with a lower cultivation level than him, and I’ve already told him to face the wall as a disciplinary measure.”
Upon hearing this, Han Li was first stunned, then laughed bitterly. This was too much of a coincidence! Could it be that this person wanted to take out his disciple’s anger for him? Han Li was a bit uneasy.
”Don’t worry, this is only a matter between your juniors, I will not bully the young with the big. But five years from now, I hope that you can have another match with my untalented disciple, and win or lose, I won’t pursue this matter any further.” The middle-aged man squinted at Han Li before saying icily.
”Since senior has such a request, of course junior will not refuse!” Han Li’s heart was relieved, and his mouth immediately agreed.
Seeing that Han Li had agreed so crisply, the middle-aged cultivator was first stunned, but then revealed a look of satisfaction.
”I’ll handle the settlement for you below!” The middle-aged man’s hand flashed with white light and the pearl suddenly disappeared, then he sat up and slowly said.
The so-called settlement procedures were quite simple, the middle-aged man fished out a golden booklet from his body, transcribed Han Li’s name onto it, and that was it. Of course, Han Li’s original green jade tag from when he entered the harbor naturally had to be taken away and replaced with another blue jade pendant.
This jade pendant shimmered with blue light, and was actually a low-ranked magic weapon. Listening to the middle-aged man said, this thing has a small water avoidance effect, but also very practical.
But next, the middle-aged man pulled out another silver-colored album from his body and tossed it to Han Li.
”Wherever there’s golden light on it, it’s a place that’s already occupied. The white ones, on the other hand, are empty cultivatable places, so take your pick! Cough, cough…… “The middle-aged man’s body seemed a bit less than good, and after speaking slightly sharply in these few words, he kept coughing lightly, with the appearance of being seriously ill.
