”This is my first time going down the mountain. I want to be more fully prepared.”
Xu Taiping smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
Hearing this, Zhao Linglong also giggled.
“Relax. Although there are also evil spirits and demons at the foot of the mountain, for most of them, a single ‘Burning Lamp Talisman’ can make them retreat. As for the demonic beasts, most of them hide in the mountains and forests to cultivate secretly. As long as you don’t provoke them, they won’t come out.”
Qing Xiao patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder.
“Take these.”
Then, he handed several talismans to Xu Taiping.
“Senior Brother, there’s no need to spend so much. It’s just an escort mission. There’s no need for so many talismans.”
Xu Taiping repeatedly waved his hand.
He could sense that the several talismans in Senior Brother Qing Xiao’s hand had a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation. They were at least mid-to-high grade Yellow Rank talismans, or even Mysterious Rank talismans.
“Taiping, take them. Our Seventh Summit will present several talismans to each disciple who goes down the mountain.”
Zhao Linglong said while secretly winking at Qing Xiao.
“Oh, right. This is the practice of our Seventh Summit.”
Qing Xiao immediately understood and stuffed the several talismans into Xu Taiping’s arms.
How could Xu Taiping be deceived by Zhao Linglong’s clumsy lie？
However, seeing that the two of them were truly doing it for his own good, besides being moved, he didn’t refuse anymore and accepted these talismans.
“Thank you, Senior Brother. Thank you, Senior Sister. This time when I go down the mountain, Taiping will definitely not disgrace the reputation of the Seventh Summit.”
Xu Taiping said with a serious expression.
“The reputation of the Seventh Peak is worth a few bucks？ The most important thing for you is to protect yourself. As for this sect experience, do what you can. Even if you fail once, there will be a next time.”
Zhao Linglong corrected Xu Taiping.
“Okay.”
Xu Taiping nodded with a smile.
He naturally knew this, but if the disciples in the peak failed in their tasks continuously, the share of spiritual pills and elixirs obtained by the Seventh Peak every year would also decrease.
Conversely, if more tasks were completed, the spiritual pills and elixirs that the Seventh Peak could obtain would increase.
“Brother Qingxiao, Sister Linglong！”
Just as Zhao Linglong and Qingxiao began to remind Xu Taiping of some things to pay attention to, an old man in a cloth shirt ran over quickly from the entrance of the Dengyun Terrace.
“Eighth junior brother？ What is he here for？”
Zhao Linglong said in surprise.
“Junior brother？”
Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Linglong and then at the old man, with a confused look on his face.
“The eighth junior brother is named Wu Liang. Like you, he also came up from the foot of the mountain. However, when he participated in the Seven Peaks Grand Competition, he was already over fifty years old. At that time, none of the peaks were willing to choose him. The master saw that it was not easy and then took him into the Seventh Peak.”
Qingxiao explained to Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping suddenly understood.
During the previous period of recuperating from his injuries, he had heard about this senior brother Wu Liang from his senior sister Zhao Linglong.
“This is our little junior brother Taiping, right？”
After coming to the front of several people, Wu Liang looked at Xu Taiping with a smile on his face.
Although Wu Liang was only wearing a cloth shirt, he was clean all over, and his hair and beard were neatly trimmed, giving people an air of refinement.
“Taiping greets Senior Brother Wu Liang.”
Xu Taiping immediately cupped his hands and saluted.
“There is no need to be so polite.”
Wu Liang held up Xu Taiping’s hand.
“Taiping, are you going to escort the princess of Baishu Kingdom to Wujiu Kingdom？”
He then asked Xu Taiping.
“Yes.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
“My hometown happens to be in Wujiu Kingdom. Before going up the mountain, I also managed a small gang in Wujiu Kingdom. If you encounter trouble in Wujiu Kingdom, you can give this cloth bag to the beggar on the side of the road, and someone will come to receive you at that time.
While talking, Wu Liang handed a cloth bag full of patches to Xu Taiping.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.”
Xu Taiping immediately thanked him.
He carefully looked at the cloth bag and found that on the mouth of this seemingly tattered cloth bag, a poem was embroidered with gold thread: “Thousands of gold are scattered without giving up, eating the wind and swallowing wine is not lonely.”
Moreover, the bag was heavy and bulging.
When opened, it was actually stuffed with a full bag of gold.
”Senior Brother, you this…”
”Junior Brother, down the mountain they don’t recognize merit and virtue. It’s good to bring some gold and silver to handle things.”
Just as Xu Taiping was about to open his mouth to ask, he was interrupted with a smile by that Senior Brother Wu Liang.
”Eighth Brother, you are giving gold and sending tokens again. Is there something you are asking Little Junior Brother to do？”
Zhao Linglong patted Wu Liang’s shoulder with a smile at this time and said.
”Nothing can be hidden from you, Senior Sister.”
Wu Liang scratched his head and smiled flatteringly at Zhao Linglong.
”Eighth Junior Brother, Taiping is going down the mountain for the first time. You must not cause him trouble.”
Qing Xiao glared at Wu Liang.
”No no no, I just want Taiping to bring a message to my former subordinates and tell them that the things they are looking for, I hid them in the cellar of Yangming Mountain.”
Wu Liang said nervously, waving his hands again and again.
”What things？”
Zhao Linglong asked Wu Liang curiously.
”The token for passing on the power of the head of our gang, and the secret books of several unique skills. At that time, I was in too much of a hurry to go up the mountain and didn’t have time to explain these things to them.”
Wu Liang said with a somewhat embarrassed and fawning smile.
”The head’s token and the secret books of the sect’s unique skills, you left them all behind. Are you sure that your so-called gang still exists？”
Zhao Linglong looked at Wu Liang with an expression of disbelief.
“So, so as soon as I heard that Taiping was going to the Wujiu Kingdom, I hurriedly came over.”
Wu Liang scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
“Brother Wu, if it’s just to pass on a message, I can do it for you.”
Xu Taiping thought about it and finally agreed.
Do what you can. Your mission is important. One year on the mountain is equivalent to three years. He has been in Yunlu Mountain for almost ten years. Whether that sect still exists is uncertain.”
Qingxiao shook his head and said.
“Yes, yes, yes, Taiping, do what you can.”
Wu Liang nodded repeatedly.
He didn’t have the intention to force Xu Taiping to do it either. It seemed that he was just following the will of heaven and doing his best.
“Okay, senior brother.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
For him, the experience mission was naturally more urgent.
As for the matter of one year on the mountain being equivalent to three years. he had already known about it a long time ago, so he wasn’t too surprised either.
“Calculated like this, I have been away from Qingniu Village for almost ten years. I don’t know if my second uncle and the others are still in Qingniu Village.”
He only sighed slightly in his heart.
“Jī！…”
After the few people talked for a few more words, the cry of a crane came from the horizon.
Then, a very huge crane flew over from the horizon and landed directly on the Dengyun Terrace.
“Xu Taiping, the time has come. You can go down the mountain.”
The crane shouted at Xu Taiping with a somewhat cold and arrogant female voice.
“Thank you, Elder, for the guidance.”
Xu Taiping cupped his hands towards the crane.
There were three golden rings on the neck of this crane, indicating that its status should be equivalent to that of an ordinary elder in the sect, and its strength was at least at the level of a demon king.
