Seeing the youth leave, Lingsha stomped her feet and said angrily,""What? She had thought that he was a warm-hearted good person, but she did not expect him to be a cold and stubborn person!”"Forget it, he didn't do anything. He even helped us…" Lingsha was so angry that she punched him."You, do you even know the principle of fighting for your pride? Hmph, since this guy is certain that we can't go up, then we'll climb up the mountain even if we have to risk our lives to make that ice-face look at us in a different light!”

Meng Li smiled and said," Actually, some people are just cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He's willing to help us, so he shouldn't have any ill intentions. Lingsha, don't be angry."”Lingsha's anger subsided a little and she sighed,""Good Mengli, actually, I know what you said too. He saved us twice and is a good person. I just don't like him to speak like that…Sigh, forget it, let's go.”

The three of them continued to walk up the mountain. Along the way, they encountered many small monsters blocking their way. There was Xing Tian, and there were also other monsters whose names they could not name. The magic power of these monsters was not very high, but there were quite a number of them. It seemed that those immortal cultivation sects wanted to test the people who sought immortality, but they did not want to really hurt them, so they used these small monsters that were not too difficult to deal with to test them. If the person did not have a firm determination, he would definitely retreat when he saw so many monsters blocking his way and would not be hurt. If the person was sincere and had some martial arts, it would not be too difficult to climb the mountain.

As the three of them walked up, they felt that the air around them was no longer as hot as it was at the foot of the mountain. It gradually became cool. The trees on both sides of the mountain road were very lush, and a clear river flowed down slowly from the top of the mountain. It was obviously the small river they saw in Boxian Town. This scene did not seem like the desert in the Western Regions at all. He knew that this must be because of the immortal cultivators on the mountain. He could not help but admire and yearn for those sword immortals.

After walking for a short while, he saw a dense shade of trees in front of him. Tian He was afraid that Lingsha's body had not fully recovered yet and she might overwork herself, so he said,""Lingsha, you and Mengli rest here for a while. I'll go ahead and scout the way.”Lingsha pursed her lips and was about to refuse, lest she seemed useless and couldn't even walk down this mountain path. However, Meng Li said," Young Master Yun, you've walked so much. You should be tired too. Let's sit down and rest together."”

" No need, no need," Tian He said with a smile." This mountain path is far worse than the Qingluan Peak." "I'll go to the front and see if there's anyone. I didn't see anyone along the way…"

Suddenly, a person jumped out from the forest on both sides and blocked the river. The two of them were sweating profusely. They did not know how long they had been hiding in this forest. A man in a short shirt stopped Tian He and stuttered,""Stop, stop right there! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree…" She seemed a little tired and was out of breath. The other cloaked man beside him was a little dissatisfied. He glanced at him and continued,"If you want to pass by, leave some rations! Little brat, hurry up and take it out!”

Tian He was confused and asked curiously,""Who are you? Is there anything?" When Lingsha and Mengli heard what the two of them said, they immediately stood up. Lingsha smiled and said,""Ha, I just said that there was no one, and then two idiots came.”He thought to himself," In the martial world, robbers always say," Leave some money to buy travel expenses." But these two guys said," Leave some dry rations." It was really baffling.

But Meng Li was slightly shocked," Why would there be bandits in the immortal mountain?" Who are you?" The cloaked man shouted,"Wrong! The two of us are not bandits. We are heroes known as the 'Southern Swordsman Duo' in the martial world! Hurry up and bring over the rations!" Tian He was baffled and asked,""What kind of 'cheap man duo' are you? Why did I give you the rations?”

The two of them were furious when they saw that Tian He refused. The cloaked man waved the sword in his hand and shouted,"Idiot! Can't you see that we're holding swords in our hands?”The man in the short shirt also chimed in." Yes, Boss is right. People with big fists have dry food to eat. Hurry up and bring it over!"”

Tian He scratched his head, puzzled. But I have more than one too.”As he spoke, he untied the two swords and looked at their hands. He smiled and said,"And your fists. I see that your fists are very small. You should give me the dry rations.”As he spoke, he shook his fist at the two of them." If you don't believe me, let's have a competition. Look, I'm right, right?"”

Lingsha and Mengli found it interesting and couldn't help but laugh. Lingsha smiled and said,""Haha, people say that when a scholar meets a soldier, reason cannot be explained clearly. Today, it is a bandit meeting a savage.”

The two men were both embarrassed and angry by the laughter. However, seeing Tian He carrying a weapon, tall and strong, and with two companions beside him, they were a little afraid, but they did not dare to make a move. The man in the short shirt asked quietly,"Boss, this kid's figure is swift and fierce. Should we fight?"”

The boss didn't say anything and only coughed repeatedly. The man in the short shirt understood and said with a smile,"Ah, cough cough…Young hero, since we are all sword experts, we…cough cough, we heroes cherish heroes. How about this, you continue to eat your rations, and we will continue to eat ours. "That…" The boss coughed dryly and said,"That's right."Uh-huh, the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. Let's go!"

Just as the two of them were about to leave, they heard Han Lingsha laughing behind them."Wait ~" The two of them turned around and saw her smiling face, but they became nervous instead."You, what do you want?"

Lingsha smiled." Nothing much. I just wanted to ask the two of you if this road leads to the top of the Immortal Mountain."”"Even if you are, you can't go up there with just the few of you!" The man in the short shirt snorted. "Even our 'Southern Jiannan Twin Swords'…" The boss coughed and quickly retracted his words."Hmph, if you ask me, I'll tell you. Wouldn't that be too embarrassing for our Southern Lone Duo?”

Lingsha smiled." Is that so?" She reached for the short sword at her waist and saw that both of them were trembling."It seems that these two fellows are people who look fierce on the outside but are weak on the inside. Hmph, with this little courage, they still dare to learn the Dao of Tribulation?”The short-robed man turned around slightly, waiting for Lingsha to pull out her sword before running away. "Miss, Miss, let's talk it out…" The boss said in a trembling voice.

At this moment, a woman's voice was heard behind him."Geng Feng, Ba Jing 'an! The two of you are bullying the people who just came up the mountain again!”A purple-robed girl hurried over. Seeing that the three of them were fine, she said,""I'm really sorry. Ignore those two bastards. Other than bullying the weak and fearing the strong, they don't know anything else!”

The boss said with a bitter face," Sister Shiliu, you've wronged us today. Me, Da Ba, and I were kind. We were afraid that they would get lost on the mountain, so we came to help." "With our skills, how would we dare to have any ideas about them…" Shiliu didn't listen to him finish and interrupted him angrily."Listen to your nonsense! Why are you blocking the way here? Go back and practice your sword!”The two of them felt as if they had been pardoned and hurriedly turned around to run.

Liu Mengli bowed to the girl and asked,""Excuse me, are you also here to cultivate? What was going on with those two people just now?”Shiliu nodded." That's right. We all came here to seek immortality. Unfortunately, we couldn't pass the trial, but we weren't willing to leave just like that. So, we built a hut on the mountainside and practiced hard. We wanted to go through the trial again." " As for those two guys, it's like this. We've been living on the mountainside. Although we occasionally send some things down from the mountain, we've been living a very poor life. Therefore, those two spineless things came up with such a bad idea to rob people who had just come up the mountain and snatch some food. I'm really sorry.”

"But those two guys seem to be very afraid of you." Lingsha laughed.”Shiliu also smiled and said," Those two guys don't have much ability, but they want to cultivate. Seeing that my kung fu is not bad, they shamelessly want to follow me up the mountain to cultivate." Hmph, they still want me to help them pass the trial on the mountain. "I'll force them to practice their swordsmanship every day so that they won't become a burden and can't help at all…" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile.

" What do you mean?" Meng Li asked again," Do you mean the Qionghua Sect?"”Shiliu nodded and said," Well, it's said that there are eight cultivation sects on Mount Kunlun, namely, Xuanpu, Yuying, Kunlun, Qionghua, Biyu, Zicui, Langfeng, and Heaven's Wall. Among them, Qionghua Sect is the largest and strongest, and the place where it is located is also the most beautiful and spectacular. They worship the Nine Heavenly Maiden, and it's said that the beautiful scenery of Qionghua Sect is bestowed by the Nine Heavenly Maiden…Their sect pays attention to the cultivation method of 'man and sword as one,' but the requirements for accepting disciples are extremely strict. It can be said that they are one in a thousand!”After saying that, he curled his lips. He yearned for the Qionghua Sect, but he was also dissatisfied with the overly strict conditions for accepting disciples.

Tian He scratched his head. "But I don't think the monsters on this mountain are that difficult to deal with…" Shiliu shook her head and said,"I don't think so. It's not difficult to pass the Taiyi Immortal Path, but I can't enter it because I can't pass the sect's trial. Actually, many people here are like me…" Seeing the three people's puzzled expressions, he said with a troubled expression,""I'm sorry, I know what you want to ask. It's just that I can't reveal even a little bit of the contents of the trial. Otherwise, if the people of Qionghua Sect know about it, I will be sent down the mountain immediately, and I will never have the chance to enter the sect again…"

Meng Li said apologetically,"I'm sorry to make things difficult for you…" Shiliu said with a smile,""It doesn't matter. I hope you can all get what you want. If you can't pass it, you can come to us and we can think of a way together.”As she spoke, the time it took to brew a cup of tea had passed. Shiliu said,"I have to go back and take care of those two fellows, in case they cause trouble everywhere.”He waved goodbye to the three of them and walked towards a house on the mountainside.

Lingsha complained," I didn't expect it to be so difficult to join a sect. It seems like Xuanji was right…""Let's go and try it first. Perhaps, it might not be impossible.”Lingsha sighed and nodded.""No matter what, let's hurry up the mountain and take a look!”

Seeing that Lingsha was about to leave, Tian He hurriedly asked,""But, Lingsha, Mengli, have you rested well?”Lingsha rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think I'm a weak woman? Hmph, I'm a chivalrous woman who has dominated the martial arts world for many years. This little road is nothing…" Mengli also nodded and said,"I'm a chivalrous woman.""Young Master Yun, let's continue walking.”

The three of them continued to move forward and unknowingly reached a place not far from the top of the mountain. Just as they were about to reach it, they felt that their surroundings were getting colder and colder. They saw that the surrounding trees were covered with thick snowflakes, and the hillside road was also covered with ice. It was very smooth. "It's so cold here. I feel so uncomfortable…" Lingsha frowned.

Tian He looked up into the distance and smiled.""We're almost there. Let's run over. That way, it won't be cold!”After saying that, he started to run with big strides. Unexpectedly, he slipped after just two steps and almost fell. He quickly steadied his steps, and Lingsha behind him burst out laughing with a mocking expression. Tian He quickly turned his face away in embarrassment.

Meng Li held back her laughter and said with concern,"" Young Master Yun, don't run too fast. Be careful…" He pulled Lingsha and quickly followed behind. Tian He did not dare to run anymore and walked forward carefully. The three of them, one in front and two behind, soon arrived at a huge mountain gate. The mountain gate was already more than 90 feet tall and was located on a large flight of steps, making it even more spectacular. The entire gate was cut from a huge rock, making it look majestic. The patterns carved on it were exquisite. Just this gate alone was enough to show the superb skills of this cultivator.

Tian He and the other two were moved by this scene and could not help but look up. They saw a few big words carved on the top of the mountain gate. Lingsha had been walking in the ancient tomb for a long time and recognized these words."Kun, Lun, Qiong, Hua, Faction." His spirits were lifted, and he could not hide his joy."Great, we're finally here!”As she spoke, she ran towards the door. Just as she reached the door, she saw two disciples in Taoist robes standing by the door. When they saw Lingsha, one of them reached out and stopped her."Miss, please wait! Non-sect disciples are not allowed to enter!"

Tian He and Meng Li walked forward, and Meng Li said gently,""Young hero, we are here to take you as our master. Can you please inform us?”"I'm sorry," said the disciple."The Sect Master has given orders. There are many things to do in the Sect these days and I have no time to attend to them. Everyone, please return!"

Lingsha had finally come here and was filled with joy. She did not expect that person to be so cold. She could not help but say unhappily,"Hey, it can't be, right? "We spent a lot of effort to climb up. Even if we don't have any credit, we have to work hard. Why are you chasing us out like this…" The disciple said again,"I don't think you can do that." If you are not willing to go down the mountain, you can stay at the Taiyi Celestial Path for a few days. There are some people living there." Before he could finish, Lingsha interrupted him angrily."Hey, how many days is that? We're not here to enjoy the scenery. When are we going to be apprenticed?”

The disciple looked troubled and said,""This…we are also following orders, please don't make things difficult for us.”The other person beside him revealed an unhappy expression and said loudly,"Junior Brother Mingchen, there's no need to say anything more to them! There was no need to explain the rules of the sect!”"Please go back…" Mingchen sighed slightly and said,"The three of you have no choice but to turn around and go down the stairs."

Seeing that her immortal cultivation journey was about to come to an end, Lingsha was furious and said angrily,"Isn't today too unlucky? Why were the people in their sect so annoying? Those two door gods were as rigid as that ice face! Meng Li recalled the scene just now and said,"" I think they looked solemn just now, and their actions were also very cautious. Perhaps something big really happened in the sect…" Lingsha said unhappily,""Hmph, since we're already here, how can we leave like this? Let me think, how can I sneak in…"

Suddenly, she heard a light cough coming from behind her. Lingsha was shocked and turned around to see a Qiong Hua disciple standing in front of her. She quickly apologized,""Ah! I'm sorry, I, I said I wanted to sneak in. I was just saying that. I haven't done anything yet!”They thought that they were finished. If this guy heard their complaints just now, the three of them would definitely be sent down the mountain. Unexpectedly, the disciple glanced at her and said in a deep voice,"The three of you, the sect master wants to see you!”

Lingsha was surprised and delighted. She could not believe her ears."Sect Master, you want to see us?" The disciple nodded and said,""Sect Leader? Who is it?" Meng Li smiled and said," Young Master Yun, the sect master is the sect master. The matters in the sect are all under his management."”Tian He replied with an " oh " and understood.

The disciple glanced at Yun Tianhe and said slowly,""The three of you, don't talk nonsense in front of the Sect Leader later. Whether you are disciples or not, you must abide by the rules. Especially this…young hero, he seems to have little experience. Since you are here to cultivate immortality, please pay attention to your behavior and remember!”

Tian He scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Lingsha laughed mockingly,""Hehe, you must be despised, savage.”Meng Li bowed to that disciple and said,""Thank you. Please take us to the sect master.”The disciple didn't say anything and walked into the door. Tian He and the other two disciples followed behind him. The two disciples at the door saw the person walking over and hurriedly bowed. The man nodded and said a few words. The two disciples quickly retreated to the side to let Tian He and the others in.

As soon as they entered the Qionghua Sect's gate, everyone felt a warm feeling. Although they were only a few dozen steps away, it was like two different worlds inside and outside the gate. One was a world of ice and snow, and the other was full of spring. Looking at the scenery inside the door, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He saw that the road paved with stone slabs was filled with lawns. From time to time, the chirping of insects could be heard from the grass. The disciples were in groups of two or three, chatting and practicing their swordsmanship in the square. In the middle of the square, there was a statue of a goddess. She was dressed in Taoist robes and looked forward. Her expression was both happy and angry, but it was also very dignified. She must be the Nine Heavenly Maiden that Shiliu had mentioned. The surrounding temples and houses were arranged according to the pattern of the Innate Eight Trigrams and were arranged in an orderly manner. In the distance, there were a few large Taoist temples on a higher level. The spring water flowed down from the top and flowed into the pond below. From afar, the spring water was like a waterfall, and the houses seemed to float in the air. Such a wonderful scene was amazing. The people at the foot of the mountain looked up from the foot of the mountain. This place was like a bright pearl on the top of Kunlun Mountain. No wonder Shiliu said that the beautiful scenery here was bestowed by the gods. Indeed, it was difficult to find a second place in the world that could compare to this place.

The disciple led them across the square and came to a hall with the words " Qiong-Hua Palace " on it. There was a person standing in the hall with her back facing the crowd. She was wearing a white Daoist robe with blue edges. Her hair was tied up in a high bun, and two black strands hung behind her. She was actually a woman. The disciple stepped forward and bowed." Sect Master, I've brought them here."”"Xu Yi, you may leave." The woman nodded slightly.”Xu Yi agreed and left the door.

The Sect Leader turned around. Her facial features were very proper, and her phoenix-like eyes were dark and bright. Her two sword-like eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she looked at the three people of Tian He. For some reason, when the three of them saw her, they unconsciously thought of the statue of the Nine Heavenly Maiden outside the hall. Although their appearances were different, they had the same aura. "What's your name?" she asked Tian He.”

" I…I'm Yun Tianhe," Tian He stammered.”For some reason, when he saw the sect leader, an inexplicable sense of nervousness surged in his heart. "Your father is Yun Tianqing?" the Sect Leader asked again.”" Yes," Tian He nodded." You, oh no, Sect Master, also know my father?"”

"I'm Su Yao, your father's senior apprentice sister." Today, I was in the House of Reverence to Heaven and divined with the Heavenly Jewel that the son of an old friend would come. I believe the divination mentioned you.”" Um," Tian He asked," my father, did he really stay here before?"”Su Yao sighed and said after a long time,""Yes, your father did enter the Qionghua Sect. Unfortunately, he gave up halfway in his cultivation and soon left the mountain. Is he regretting it now, which is why he asked you to go up the mountain to become his disciple?”

Tian He shook his head." No, I wanted to come. Father died a long time ago and didn't say anything.”Su Yao was slightly shocked, her eyes revealing a look of regret,"" He... has passed away?... "How could it be like this…Forget it, forget it, life and death are up to fate…" He paused for a moment, as if he had calmed the waves in his heart."Something big has happened to the Japanese goalkeeper recently. I didn't want to complicate things, but considering the friendship between old friends, I'll let you give it a try. If you can pass the trial, I will make an exception and let you enter the sect…"

"Then, what if I don't pass?" Tian He asked nervously.”Su Yao said indifferently,"Then even if your immortal fate is shallow and you are not suitable for cultivation, you can only go down the mountain."”"Are you guys ready?" he asked.”

The three of them nodded. Su Yao said," I will send you to a place. You will have to figure out how to return." If you're trapped inside for too long and can't come out, I'll naturally summon you back, but there's no need to mention the matter of entering the sect.”

"Sect Leader, do you mean that it doesn't count if you didn't come back with your own abilities?" Tian He asked suspiciously.”"Not bad." Su Yao said. Tian He smiled and patted his chest." Don't worry, Sect Master. It's just returning. It's not difficult." Whether it's running or climbing, I can do it!”

Su Yao smiled and sighed,""I hope it's as you said." Lingsha heard Tian He's answer and was both angry and amused. This fool, if he continues to act like an idiot here, we might be chased out directly…""Sect Master, we are ready. Please begin!”

Su Yao's face turned serious, her right hand pinched her fingers and shouted,""Close your eyes and focus!" Tian He and the others quickly closed their eyes and heard Su Yao chanting,"" The Goddess has given her orders. Tell all spirits to come and go freely." The voice was getting further and further away. He felt the world spinning. When he opened his eyes, he found that the three of them were in a strange space. It was pitch black all around. There were many flat plates floating in the air. The plates were connected by iron chains. The three of them were on the largest plate in the middle.

"Where is this?" Tian He asked curiously. Didn't Sect Master say that he was going to take us to a place?”Lingsha smiled and said," Hehe, you don't understand this, do you? You even want to run and climb mountains? The Sect Master is not taking you for a walk. She is using an immortal technique."" Well, this spell is very powerful. It can send several people here in a flash. It's not easy, but the Sect Leader can use it effortlessly. It seems that the sword immortal of Qionghua Sect is indeed worthy of his reputation..."

Lingsha looked around and said to Meng Li with a smile,""Good Mengli, don't you also know illusionary arts? Can you bring us out? If we go out now, the sect master will definitely be shocked. He might even take us in immediately.”Meng Li shook her head." This place is both illusory and real. It's hard to distinguish between reality and illusion. I can't crack it with my magic power." However…" Seeing Lingsha's disappointment, he continued,""Since this place is a trial by fire, there should be someone in charge of testing us. If we can pass the test, I think we can naturally leave.”As they were talking, they heard Tian He say,"Hey, look, there's an old man over there!"”

The two of them turned around and saw an old man with white beard and eyebrows sitting on a huge wine gourd in the middle of the plate. He leaned against a bronze cauldron and snored in a drunken manner. A strong smell of alcohol came from his entire body. Lingsha smelled the smell of alcohol and frowned. Meng Li walked up and wanted to ask, but seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she didn't have the heart to disturb him. However, seeing that there was no one else here other than this old man, she could only ask gently,""Old man, can I disturb you for a moment?”After asking two or three times, the old man said vaguely,"Oh…Good wine…Good wine…Why is it all gone?”Opening his eyes, he saw Meng Li and the others and said with great dissatisfaction,""You, you little kids, can't you see that I'm taking a nap? If you wake me up, I won't be able to drink the good wine in my dreams!”

Meng Li quickly apologized." Old man, I'm really sorry. We didn't mean to disturb your sleep. We just wanted to ask how to get out of here."”The old man glanced at the three of them and said,""Go out? Oh, it turned out to be a little kid sent from Qionghua.”"Yes, yes, your eyes are really sharp!" Lingsha quickly said. Can you tell us the way out?”

The old man glanced at Lingsha and said with a smile,""Little girl, don't think that you can pass just by saying a few good words. Let me think about how I should test you guys…Sigh, after your disturbance just now, the Liquor worm in my stomach has all woken up. Now it's growling non-stop. I'm afraid I can't think of any good ideas…"

"Your stomach is growling?" "Then you must be hungry. I have some dry food here…" The old man snorted and said,"I don't know."What's the use of dry rations? This old man is Wine Immortal Weng, so I naturally have to drink. Speaking of which, you guys caused me to not drink wine in my dream. Naturally, you have to find wine for me. How about this? You guys find ten or twenty gourds of wine here and fill this wine jar behind me.”Pointing at the wine gourd hanging above the floating plates and the huge cauldron behind him, he smiled and said,""If this old master can drink to his heart's content, then naturally I will help you.”

Meng Li bowed and said," Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Weng. We'll go now."”Wine Immortal Weng laughed and said," Haha, go quickly. My alcohol addiction is acting up. I can't wait long!"”Hearing his tone, everyone did not dare to be negligent. They hurriedly ran to the other sections and saw that the wine gourd was hanging several feet high. Lingsha was deflated and complained,"It's hanging so high. How can I take it? Sect Master didn't explain clearly. If I had known earlier, I would have brought a ladder in…"

" It's not very high," Tian He said." Let me try."”As he spoke, he took a few steps back and jumped. Unexpectedly, he jumped more than 60 feet high with a whoosh, much higher than the wine gourd. He jumped over it in an instant and actually missed it. When he jumped to the highest point, he felt his body was light as a feather. He slowly descended without stirring up a trace of dust. Lingsha and Mengli were dumbstruck. Tian He was also shocked and said in surprise,""This, I, how did I jump so high…"

Meng Li thought for a moment and suddenly said," I understand. This is probably the effect of the spell. Everything in the barrier is much lighter than before…"" Interesting. I'll try it too!" He jumped a little harder, and sure enough, he just reached it and landed steadily on the ground. He was overjoyed. Tianhe and Mengli did the same thing. Soon, each of them had six or seven wine gourds in their hands. They were light in their hands and did not feel the weight at all. Lingsha and Tianhe were having fun. They competed to see who could jump higher, and Tianhe always won. Lingsha was not convinced and insisted on continuing the competition. Meng Li remembered Jiu Xianweng's urging and pulled Lingsha. After some persuasion, she finally made the two of them come back to their senses from the game.

When the three of them returned to the central panel, Wine Immortal Weng smelled the smell of alcohol coming from their hands and said happily,""Not bad, not bad! This was the taste of the wine in his dream!”With a wave of his hand, the wine calabashes flew out from the three of them and flew above the cauldron. The wine poured down and the entire space was filled with the smell of the wine. Seeing the cauldron gradually fill up, Wine Immortal Weng stroked his long beard and laughed proudly,""Haha, it's rare to have good wine today. This old man is going to get drunk! You little kids, very good, very good. This old man will do as he says. I'll send you on your way!”

"That's great!" Tianhe said happily. Can we go back now?" " Of course not!" Wine Immortal Weng laughed." There are other tests waiting for you!" " Wait for me to think about it. Out of the four tests of 'wine, women, wealth, and spirit', you have already passed the test of' wine'. What's next…" Lingsha and Mengli were stunned when they heard this. It turned out that this was just the beginning, and there were still more trials to come. He didn't know what the trial would be like after this." Wealth " and " Qi " were still fine, but as for " lust ", he really didn't know what kind of embarrassing test it would be. He couldn't help but look embarrassed, and his mood that had just been happy for a while suddenly sank.

Wine Immortal Weng glanced at the two of them and seemed to have read their minds. He chuckled and said to Tian He,""You little girl, I think you're quite lucky with women. The two beautiful girls beside you should like you quite a lot, right?‘I can save the 'lust' test! Haha!" As soon as she said that, Liu Mengli blushed and said in a low voice,"" Immortal Weng, you…" Lingsha's face was also red."Immortal Weng, you, you, you must be mistaken, right? I, how could I like this piece of wood! That, that's not the case!"

" Haha," Wine Immortal Weng laughed." You know very well whether you like it or not. It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong."”Tian He, however, had a gloomy look on his face. He turned to Lingsha and whispered,""Lingsha, that, I…"

Lingsha was afraid that this savage did not know manners and would say something he shouldn't. Mengli was right beside her and if she heard it, she would be embarrassed for the rest of her life. She quickly said,""You, what are you trying to say? "Ahem, don't let your imagination run wild…" Tianhe sighed and said,""I…I wanted to say that you hated me so much. I didn't even know before…"

"Annoying?" Lingsha asked curiously. No? What was that? When did I say I hate you?" Tian He was a little sad. He said in a low voice," Didn't you just say…But, I like you and Mengli very much. Why do you hate me?"”Lingsha blushed and stomped her feet. You savage, blockhead! How am I supposed to explain this!"

Wine Immortal Weng saw that one of them was confused and the other was shy, so he smiled at Tianhe and said,""Haha, little girl, what you like and what I say are two different things. You might be talking about friendship, but what this girl is talking about is love between men and women.”

" Friendship…" Tianhe said, confused." Love between a man and a woman…What's the difference?"”Wine Immortal Elder sighed." You little brat, I'm an immortal. How can I answer you when you ask me this question?" This old man only knows that mortals pursue infatuation and love. What is love? There is no definite conclusion. Some people are sincere when they are ordinary, some people are unwilling to give up until the world collapses, some people fall in love at first sight, and some people's friendship will turn into love. Everything depends on how you think. In any case, the person who feels the most comfortable and comfortable with her is most likely the person you really like!”

Tianhe scratched his head." I still don't understand. How can love be fake?" And there were so many types? Wine Immortal Weng picked up the gourd and took a sip. His face was red as he said,""Haha, then how about I teach you a method that doesn't need to worry about your brain?”"Alright!" Tianhe said happily.

Wine Immortal Weng smiled and said,"Two words: Let's drink." As soon as he said that, Lingsha and Mengli burst out laughing, the embarrassment and shyness on their faces easing slightly. However, Tian He looked troubled and said hesitantly,""Sounds good, but, um, Lingsha said that drinking is harmful to the body. If I drink too much, she will scold me. Is there any other way?”

Lingsha's face turned red again. Seeing Mengli's gaze on her, a smile appeared in her eyes. She thought to herself," Don't let this savage continue talking nonsense.""Tianhe, I say, don't keep dwelling on this problem. It's more important for us to pass the trial quickly, right?”

Wine Immortal Weng clapped his hands and laughed." Not bad, not bad. The girl is right. You can't escape from the worldly love. Why are you still seeking immortality?" Let's go, this old man is going to start drinking good wine and then sleep until the sky is dark. You guys should work harder and quickly pass the test. Boy, if you have the chance that day, come and give me a few jars of wine. I'll tell you about other methods! " Haha…" With a wave of his sleeve, a spell formation appeared beneath the feet of Tian He and the others. Before they could react, they were enveloped by a white light. When they opened their eyes, they were teleported to a new hall.

Before Tian He could stand firm, he heard Lingsha exclaim,""Oh my god, so many gold coins!" The floor of the hall was littered with gold and silver coins, as well as all kinds of jewelry and jade. There were countless boxes piled up in the corners of the hall. Some of the boxes were open and filled with gold and silver. Countless luminous pearls hung from the roof of the hall, and the light they emitted was reflected by the gold and silver on the ground, making them extremely dazzling. When Tian He and the other two entered the royal mausoleum of Huainan, they were deeply impressed by the extravagance there. However, after seeing it today, the royal mausoleum of Huainan paled in comparison to this place. He saw a person riding a black tiger in the hall. He wore a red iron crown on his head and was dressed like he was on a stage. It was quite comical. He held the iron whip in his right hand and a huge gold ingot in his arms. His eyes were looking straight ahead, and his long beard was slightly fluttering. He looked very dignified.

Meng Li said," I read in a book before. This person is the God of Wealth. Looks like this is the trial of that 'wealth'.”The God of Wealth was called Zhao Gongming, commonly known as " Marshal Zhao ". He once helped King Zhou attack King Wu, but was later conferred the title of " Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Dragon Tiger Xuantan Zhenjun " by Jiang Taigong. He specialized in gold and silver treasures, welcoming good fortune and receiving blessings. He could make people benefit and get rich, so he was widely worshipped by the world. Meng Li had only read about this immortal's story in books before. Seeing the real body today, she could not help but be shocked and surprised. She went forward and bowed,""Hello, may I ask how I can pass this level?”

That God of Fortune still looked ahead, not even looking at Meng Li, and said with a snort,""It's not difficult, it's not difficult. Just make me happy.”Lingsha couldn't help but feel angry."Hmph, what are you so proud of? "You think you're so great just because you're an immortal? You don't even look at people when you talk…" Meng Li did not show any dissatisfaction and continued to ask,"What do you think?""Then, what can I do to make you happy?”

The God of Fortune pointed at Iron Whip and said," Go over there and find ten gems for me. Listen, I only want the most valuable Nine-Eye Stone. I don't care about the rest. You don't have to bring them up to me."”" Nine Eye Stone?" Meng Li asked," Nine Eye Stone?…" Sorry, we haven't seen it before. Can you tell us what it looks like?”

The God of Fortune sighed and said disdainfully,""Sigh! Why are you so ignorant? With one look, he knew that he was destined to be poor for the rest of his life. The Nine-eyed Stone is a type of golden stone. You don't even know how to use it…Sigh, giving you pointers is time-consuming and exhausting. Go quickly and find me eleven Nine-eyed Stones.”

"Eh?" Lingsha was stunned when she heard that. Hey, hey, hey, didn't we agree on ten pills? Why did there suddenly be one more?”The God of Fortune stroked his beard and smiled." Since you asked me, I'll answer you. Of course, I'll give you one more. Consider it my reward for answering you." Go find the twelve gemstones." "What?" Lingsha said angrily. You…" Even though Meng Li kept gesturing to her at the side, she still said in a low voice,""What kind of God of Fortune is this? Shouldn't the God of Fortune be giving away his wealth? This guy actually raised the price at the sight of money…"

The God of Fortune laughed and said,"Little girl, don't think that I can't hear you just because you're whispering bad things about me." You ask me, I answer. There are many immortals in the sky. If I don't think of a way to accumulate wealth, where can I get the money? My outfit alone isn't cheap. Here, go find me thirteen Nine-Eye Stones.”Lingsha was so angry that she wanted to scold him, but Liu Mengli waved her hand and said," Lingsha, don't talk to the God of Fortune. The more we talk, the more gems he wants…"

" Yeah," Tian He said." It's like the mosquitoes in the mountains in summer. The more they kill, the more they kill. There's no end to it."”The God of Wealth smiled." Hmm, you two are smart. This is free. Go quickly!"”

The three of them were helpless. They wandered around the hall and saw that the hall was full of jewels and treasures. There were rare treasures everywhere. Tianhe and Mengli were dazzled. Even Lingsha, who had robbed countless tombs, had never seen so many rare treasures. It was as if they were in a dream. The three of them looked around but did not find the "Nine-eyed Stone" mentioned by the God of Fortune. It seemed that they could only go to the treasure chest in the corner of the hall to search. Lingsha lifted the lid of one of the boxes and saw that the top layer was filled with gold coins. She reached in and felt around. Suddenly, she let out an " Aiyo " sound. Her fingers seemed to have been pinched by something and she quickly pulled them out. Her fingertips were red and swollen.

"Haha, little girl, don't you know that too much money will bite your hands?" The God of Wealth laughed from the hall. Mortals were always like this. They only knew how to accumulate wealth and did not know how to distribute it. In the end, they accumulated a large sum of money, but it became a disaster. It was really laughable! Haha-"

Lingsha glared at him fiercely, and the anger in her heart increased a little. She thought to herself that she had to think of a way to deal with this damn guy no matter what. When Tianhe and Mengli heard this, they carefully flipped over the gold coins on the surface. Sure enough, they saw a few golden stones at the bottom of the box. They must be the Nine-eyed Stone. The three of them did the same thing and soon found enough people to walk into the hall. For some reason, Lingsha, who had always been the fastest, fell behind the two of them this time.

Returning to the God of Wealth, Liu Mengli bowed and said,""God of Fortune, we have brought the gemstones you wanted.”The God of Wealth looked at the Nine-Eye Stones in the three people's hands and nodded."Mm, not bad, not bad. Give it to me quickly!”Just as Tian He and Meng Li were about to hand it over, Han Lingsha said,""Wait! God of Fortune, look carefully. Are these the ones?”

The God of Wealth was slightly stunned." Yes, since you've got it, why aren't you giving it to me?"”Lingsha giggled and said,"Since you are the God of Fortune, you must know business, right?" Haven't you heard of cash on delivery?”The God of Wealth was stunned again before nodding."Hmm, that makes sense!" The iron whip drew a circle in the air, and a magic formation appeared on the ground beside it. He smiled and said,"The few of you, go out from there and it will be the next stage. Why aren't you giving me the thing?"

The three of them handed the Nine-eyed Stone to the God of Wealth. Tianhe was about to leave when Lingsha patted him."Heavenly River!" Tian He turned around and saw Lingsha's strange smile. He asked curiously,""Lingsha, what's wrong?"

"Look, what's this?" Lingsha said proudly.”He waved his right hand in front of his eyes, and he felt a dazzling golden light. When he looked carefully, he saw three Nine-Eye Stones in his palm. "This, this is…" Lingsha laughed."Hehe, since the God of Fortune likes these gems so much, they must be very valuable. I just got a few more and planned to bring them back to sell for money.”She deliberately raised her voice so that the God of Fortune could hear her. As expected, the God of Wealth was shocked and hurriedly shouted,"No, no! These gemstones are not ordinary, you can't take the excess!”

Lingsha snorted and deliberately walked towards the formation, saying,""I can't be bothered with you. Since the door is already open and I've already given you thirteen nine-eyed stones, we're even. What do I need you to care about?" The God of Wealth was furious. He pointed his iron whip and the array on the ground disappeared. He said angrily,"Presumptuous! How dare you talk to the God of Fortune like this! None of you can leave!"

Seeing that he was angry, Lingsha was secretly happy, but she still had an unforgiving attitude."Hey, we just agreed that we'll hand over the money and the goods. What, the God of Wealth, you don't keep your word? Do you know anything about business?" The God of Wealth had always been worshipped by thousands of families and worshipped in all four seasons. He was deeply proud of himself and did not even put some low-level immortals in his eyes. He put on airs in front of mortals. He didn't expect to be humiliated by Lingsha today. He was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He said angrily,"You, you, how dare you! No one had ever thought of bringing more gemstones. Everyone in the trial was trembling with fear and obedience! You, you, you guys, especially you, are too outrageous! Don't think that the God of Fortune only counts money and doesn't fight! I'll teach you a lesson today. I, I, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!”After saying that, he gave a loud shout and whipped the tiger's back. The black tiger roared and carried the God of Wealth on its back, ready to pounce on Lingsha.

Tian He and Meng Li were shocked. They didn't expect the God of Fortune to have such a big temper. He was so angry with just a few words from Lingsha. Seeing that he was about to attack Lingsha, Tian He hurriedly pulled out his sword. Just as he was about to block in front of Lingsha, he heard a groan. He turned around and saw that Meng Li had already pursed her lips and smiled.

The God of Wealth fell to the ground, and the black tiger under him jumped to the side. Seeing the God of Wealth fall, it bit the leg of the God of Wealth's pants and wanted to help him up. The God of Wealth panicked and was ashamed. The gold ingot in his arms rolled more than ten feet away, and he was in an extremely sorry state. He struggled to stand up, waving the iron whip in his hand randomly, and accidentally whipped the black tiger a few times. The black tiger wanted to help its master, but it was beaten up instead. It retreated to the side innocently, roaring softly as if it was protesting.

It turned out that Lingsha was walking at the back. Other than taking three more Nine-Eye Stones, she had also grabbed a bunch of gold coins from the ground and put them in her pocket. Just when the God of Fortune was about to rush over, she used a hidden weapon technique to throw out the bunch of gold coins. Her attack was also very crafty. She did not attack the God of Wealth himself, but the black tiger under him. The black tiger was shocked and hurriedly dodged, but it forgot its master. The God of Wealth was bending forward at this moment. The black tiger jumped away, and he did not sit properly. He fell hard on his face!

This concealed weapon technique was a family heirloom of the Han family, called the " Heaven and Earth Throw." Although the Han family was famous for tomb raiding, their martial arts were not to be underestimated. Although the Han family's saber and fist techniques were not very famous, they were still very practical and effective. Lingsha was a woman, so these physical martial arts were not suitable for her to practice, so she learned hidden weapons and acupoints. Over the years, she had gained a lot of experience in Jianghu, and her attainments were not shallow. That was why she could defeat Wang Kuishan with a single finger in Taiping Village. He had also practiced this " Heaven and Earth Toss " to perfection. Today, he had indeed defeated the enemy with one strike. He could not help but reveal a relieved and proud expression.

The God of Wealth struggled to stand up from the ground. The iron crown on his head was tilted to one side, his clothes were all wrinkled, and a few strands of his long beard had fallen off. He looked annoyed as he stared at Lingsha and the other two, but did not speak. Lingsha also looked at him with a smile. The two sides looked at each other for a long time. The God of Wealth suddenly changed his expression and laughed dryly,"Haha, haha, the three of you are really heroes among people. I was just joking with you just now. Don't take it seriously.”

Lingsha laughed secretly,"This guy's attitude changed so quickly. He's indeed a businessman without evil…" Then, she heard the God of Wealth say,"He's a businessman.""Haha, I won't hide it from everyone. There are so many people coming and going, but only this girl would think of collecting more gems. She's really a rare talent! This lady has such good taste. She will definitely be rich and noble in the future! Haha, haha…"

The God of Wealth was still furious just now, but now he was flattering her like this. Lingsha felt that his words were insincere and unpleasant to hear. She frowned and said,"Don't talk like you've smeared honey on your mouth. Hmph, if you want all the gemstones, then let's just get through the 'qi' test!”

The God of Fortune looked troubled. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said sadly,"What? This, if you don't go through the stages one by one, it's against the rules!”Lingsha smiled contemptuously again." Is that so? Then there's nothing to talk about. I'll give you the gemstones you want. I'll take the rest and continue to clear the level."”"Don't, don't!" The God of Wealth said anxiously. If there was anything to discuss, it could be discussed. Everyone was familiar with each other! There's no need to be so calculative, right?"

"Who's your acquaintance?" Lingsha snorted. We agreed that we would pay and deliver the gemstones to you, but you still won't let us go. Hmph, do you still want to try?”As he said that, he raised his right hand slightly and the God of Wealth quickly smiled apologetically."No need, no need! "Let me think…" After thinking for a long time, he sighed and revealed an extremely unwilling expression."Sigh, forget it, forget it. I've suffered a loss, a loss!”After saying that, he waved his whip and another formation that looked exactly the same as the one before appeared on the other side of the hall. He said to the three,"The three of you can go over. From here, you can directly return to Qionghua Sect.”After he finished speaking, he turned to Lingsha and forced a smile on his face. He winked at the Nine-eyed Stone in her hand. Lingsha snorted and threw it to him. The God of Wealth caught it quickly, his face filled with both gratification and unwillingness. He laughed dryly and said,"Haha, take care, take care.”

Tian He and the other two walked towards the formation. Just as the God of Fortune had said, they returned to Qiong-Hua Palace in a moment. "Ah, you're really back!" Tianhe said happily.”Lingsha and Mengli were also happy. Seeing the three of them return, Su Yao's eyes revealed a hint of approval,""Not bad, it's much faster than I thought.”"Ah?" Tian He laughed. That's because-"

"That's because we're all working very hard to clear the level!" Lingsha quickly interrupted him.”Seeing that Tian He had almost told the truth, he was furious. He thought to himself that he should not hang out with this savage in the future. He was as honest as a big idiot. "Are we fast?" asked Liu Mengli. Why do I feel like a long time has passed…"

"Long?" Su Yao said indifferently. Since Xu Yi brought you to Qiong-Hua Palace, not even a joss stick has burned out.”Meng Li was extremely surprised and sighed." This... Is this an illusion?" This is simply too wondrous." Su Yao sighed and said," Life is a dream, how can we know what is real and what is fake?" Just now, your spiritual sense left your body and experienced a dream within a dream. As immortals, we have to transcend the dream of life and death in order to see the true meaning of the world.”

Tian He didn't seem to understand. He scratched his head and asked,""Sect Master, are we now disciples of Qionghua Sect?”Su Yao looked at him and suddenly said,""Yun Tianhe, can I have a look at your blue sword?”Tianhe didn't know what was going on, so he untied 'This is a Sword' and handed it over.

Su Yao held the sword in her hand and looked at it carefully, her expression was both happy and worried, after a while she asked,""This sword…Where did you get it?”
