Chapter 312.
Xu Hongcai was undoubtedly one of the most interesting cultivators Wang Chen had ever seen.
When he knocked on the door earlier and begged to be taken in, he looked extraordinarily downtrodden and shabby, but after Wang Chuan’s invitation to come in and drink a couple of cups of spirit wine and eat a few pieces of beast meat in his belly, he immediately became radiant.
In fact, this middle-aged cultivator’s appearance is quite good, fair skin and elegant temperament, without the kind of greasy taste of the red dust, and talk not bad, mobilizing the atmosphere of the ability is excellent.
Properly middle-aged and elderly female cultivator killer, social cow disease heavy patients!
Wang Dust heard quite a few anecdotes from him about the Immortal Cultivation World, as well as various news that had been circulating in White Tiger City recently.
This New Year’s Eve dinner was not a loss to share with the other party.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Hong was only a little bit slightly drunk when he suddenly stared at Wang Duan and asked, “Fellow Daoist Wang, are you planning to go to the Western Sea Spirit Region after the spring?”
Wang Dust nodded, “Yes.”
This was not something unseemly, many cultivators came to Flying Immortal City in the first place and used this as a springboard to go over the heavenly moat of the Jade Dragon Mountain Range and enter the Western Sea Spirit Region.
It was only that many cultivators never came out again after entering the mountain, and there were also some who stayed in Flying Immortal City to put down roots.
“This road is not easy to travel.”
Xu Hongcai was slightly disoriented, as if he had been evoked some unpleasant memories.
He put down his wine cup and said in a deep voice, “Fellow Daoist Wang, going over the Jade Dragon Mountain is very dangerous, we can’t say that we’ll die nine deaths, can we? the ones who can walk out alive are at most two or three out of ten.”
“Have you really thought this through?”
The Jade Dragon Mountain Range stretched for a million miles from west to east, and was thousands of miles wide, and no giant ship could even fly over it.
Countless demonic beasts inhabited the depths of the mountains, and the trip across from south to north was truly dangerous!
Wang Dust: “I’m well aware of it.”
Xu Hongcai asked again, “Then do you know about the Mountain-Turning Society?”
“The Mountain-Turning Society?”
Wang Dust really didn’t know, he hadn’t even heard of it.
Xu Hongcai said, “If you want to go over the Jade Dragon Mountain, joining the Mountain Turning Association is the best choice.”
The Mountain Flipping Association was not a sect or a gang, but an organization of cultivators created by a group of cultivators who intended to climb over the Jade Dragon Mountain.
It could also be described as a mutual aid alliance.
The Mountain-Turning Association had a long history of existence in Flying Immortal City, and there was no way to find out who the original founders were.
However, every year, the Mountain Turning Association would organize a group of cultivators to enter the mountains and break through the passage to the Western Sea Spirit Region.
In fact, this passageway had always existed, but there were frequent changes, so experienced ferrymen were needed to lead the way in order to cope with various unexpected situations.
The ferrymen in the Mountain Flipping Association were the best guides, not only were they familiar with the environment of the mountain, but they also had a certain level of communication with the great demons and even the demon kings in the Jade Dragon Mountain.
It was just that the Mountain Flipping Association had always been deeply hidden, and ordinary cultivators neither understood it nor had a channel to join it.
“I know a Flipping Mountain Society ferryman.”
Xu Hongcai said, “I can introduce you to join the team that will break into the mountain next year.”
Wang Chen was instantly delighted, “Thank you, fellow Daoist!”
It was truly a case of stepping through iron shoes and finding no place, but getting there without making any effort!
He had been over here for some time now, and Flying Immortal City had turned into White Tiger City, yet he had never been able to find a doorway.
Wang Chen had even thought of going into the mountains alone to explore the way if he really couldn’t.
But this was a choice of last resort, and unless there was no other way out, it was not worth the risk.
Now that Xu Hongcai had taken the initiative to provide such a channel, it was truly an unexpected blessing!
“Don’t thank me first.”
Xu Hongcai said with a straight face, “There is a fee for the Mountain Flipping Society to bring people to break into the mountain, three thousand for Purple Foo and ten thousand for Qi Practicing, there is no guarantee of 100% safety, you have to think clearly.”
If it was free, then Wang Chen still didn’t believe it!
He readily replied, “Three thousand is not expensive.”
“Three thousand?”
Xu Hongcai froze and subconsciously said, “Practicing Qi is ten thousand spirit stones.”
Wang Chen smiled without saying anything.
Xu Hongcai was puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, “You you you, you’re a Purple Mansion Upper Cultivator!”
This middle-aged cultivator stuttered in his speech, his eyes showing horror.
Wang Chen silently dispersed the Hidden God Technique that had been added to his body, and the aura belonging to a Purple Mansion cultivator instantly appeared!
Normally, whether he went out or opened a store to sell, he hid his true cultivation.
On the one hand, it was to avoid attracting attention and incurring unnecessary trouble.
On the other hand, it was also to brush up on the experience value of the Hidden God Art skill.
And now was not the time to hide!
Xu Hongcai wiped the sweat seeping out of his forehead and respectfully saluted, “The lower cultivator has offended.”
His heart was very apprehensive.
Although Wang Dust seemed to be a good talker, who could guarantee that he wouldn’t flip out?
Xu Hongcai recalled how he had let himself go in front of Wang Dust earlier, and he couldn’t help but sweat!
“Fellow Daoist is overstating things.”
Wang Dust picked up the wine altar and poured Xu Hongcai a cup of spirit wine, “The friendship of a friend does not matter the cultivation, come on, dry this cup!”
Xu Hongcai fixed his heart and cupped the cup with both hands, “Thank you, fellow Daoist, I’ll drink this cup full!”
A cup of spirit wine went down, and the atmosphere between the two of them resumed its cordiality and harmony.
Xu Hongcai’s heart extremely sighed.
Wang Chen was so young when he broke the orifices and opened the house, such talent and qualification, in the sects, it was also the generation of heaven’s pride.
In his heart, he had the intention of making friends and currying favor with Wang Chen, so he mingled with Wang Chen and spoke wittily from time to time.
This New Year’s Eve dinner lasted until midnight.
That night, Xu Hongcai stayed in Wang Duan’s talisman store.
He didn’t dare to stay longer, and left the next morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and agreed with Wang Dust that once he contacted the ferryman of the Mountain Turning Association, he would immediately arrange a meeting between the two sides.
Wang Chen was in no hurry and continued his own cultivation after the New Year.
It was only on the fifteenth day of the first month that Xu Hong appeared in front of the store again.
He told Wang Chuan that he had already made a deal with the ferryman of the Mountain-turning Association and agreed to meet him tonight at the Star-picking Pavilion.
The Mountain Flipping Association had requirements for their “customers”, and it wasn’t as if they could join the team just by paying the spirit stones; they also needed to assess the cultivation strength of the “newcomers” and understand the latter’s character and temperament.
After the team enters the mountain, they are always facing unpredictable dangers, and if there is a pig teammate inside, it may kill the whole team.
This had happened many times in the past, which was why the Mountain Tipping Association adhered to the principle of preferring the best to the worst.
If Wang Duan couldn’t meet their requirements, then even if he paid a few times more spirit stones, it would be for nothing!
Xu Hongcai made this point clear to Wang Chen.
Of course, Wang Dust wouldn’t mind.
So under Xu Hongcai’s introduction, he came to the biggest restaurant in White Tiger City at night.
He met the ferryman that Xu Hongcai was talking about.
The meeting between the two sides went smoothly, and Wang Chen revealed his cultivation, as well as his second-stage Wind Thunder Sword.
Proving that he wouldn’t be a liability in the team.
In the end, he was given a mountain-turning order!
