　　On the other side, the girl holding Xu Taiping’s hand just looked at him with a smile without saying a word.
Xu Taiping looked at the young man in front of him, then at the girl in red beside him, and then at his second uncle and second aunt who were still struggling with the steward of the Bai family. The last trace of hesitation in his eyes dissipated followed dissipated.
　　“I　am　willing.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded firmly at the pair of young disciples.
Upon hearing this, the young man laughed heartily, then with a flick of his large sleeve, he rolled up Xu Taiping and the girl in red with the breeze in his sleeve. and then rose into the air and landed on the crane in the air.
　　“Taiping, my name is Du Gu Qingxiao, the second disciple of the seventh peak of Qingxuan Sect.”
　　“My name is Zhao Linglong, the sixth disciple of the seventh peak of Qingxuan Sect. From now on, I will be your little senior sister.”
　　“Taiping has met senior brother and senior sister.”
　　Amidst the laughter and conversation, the villagers only saw the crane gradually disappear above the sea of clouds and disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye.
　　As for Xu Taiping’s second uncle and second aunt, the two of them still couldn’t beat the steward and servants of the Bai family after all. For a while, they lost both their money and their people, and could only sit under the old elm tree at the entrance of the village and point at the sky and curse.

　　Yunlu Mountain.
In just one day, Xu Taiping came to the legendary Yunlu Immortal Mountain where the crane was sitting.
Actually, to be precise, the secular Yunlu Mountain is merely the entrance of Qingxuan Sect.
　　Just like the iceberg in the sea in the extremely cold place, the iceberg exposed on the sea surface is often only a corner of the entire iceberg.
The Yunlu Mountain in your secular world is just the barrier of the seven peaks of Yunlu. The real seven peaks of Yunlu are shrouded by the barrier and clouds and mist all year round, and one must have a spiritual bird to guide the way to enter and exit.
　　When about to rush into the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, Linglong, who was sitting on the crane, excitedly introduced to Xu Taiping.
　　Then how big is the real Yunlu Mountain…？
　　After hearing the introduction of Senior Sister Linglong, Xu Taiping also became a little curious about this Yunlu Mountain.
The Yunlu Mountain range stretches for thousands of miles, and the seven main peaks are more than ten thousand feet high. The area is probably not smaller than your Great Liang Kingdom. It’s just that because the entire Yunlu Mountain forms its own world, in the eyes of the secular world. it is just a small mountain peak.
　　The one who answered Xu Taiping’s question was Qingxiao, who was originally meditating on the side.
　　Not smaller than the Great Liang Kingdom？
　　Xu Taiping’s perception was once again shocked.
　　Yes, in the cultivation world, there are many such cave secret realms like Yunlu Mountain. Our Qingxuan Sect of Yunlu Mountain can only be regarded as a third-class cultivation sect.
　　Linglong nodded with a smile.
　　Then above the third class…
　　Boom！
　　Just as Xu Taiping was about to ask more about the cultivation world, a gust of wind suddenly blew towards them, and the crane they were riding let out a shrill cry.
“Little junior brother, this is the barrier Gangfeng triggered by the mountain protection formation. Hold on to senior sister’s hand tightly. or you will fall.”
　　Linglong shouted as she pulled Xu Taiping’s hand.
　　“Hmm！”
　　Xu Taiping nodded and then tightly clenched that bonelessly soft hand.
　　“Whoosh…
In the blink of an eye, the Gangfeng turbulence in front of Xu Taiping completely dissipated, leaving only the clear blue sky, the undulating mountains, the towering peaks. and the hanging mountains are hidden in the sea of clouds.
“This is the real Yunlu Immortal Mountain.”
　　Zhao Linglong stood up proudly and looked into the distance.
　　“Qingxiao brother, Linglong junior sister.”
　　Just then, a sweet and soft voice came from the side of several people.
　　Xu Taiping turned his head and saw a green light flying out from the sea of clouds on one side.
　　Looking closely, it was actually a slender and sweet-looking woman, leading a little girl and riding a jade gourd to fly in the air.
　　“Senior sister Ziyan？ Why did you also go down the mountain？”
　　Zhao Linglong smiled and waved to that Ziyan.
　　“Shortly after you went down the mountain, the Spiritual Bone Tablet had a reaction again. This time, our Sixth Peak also has a disciple selected by the Spiritual Bone Tablet.”
　　Zi Yan smiled and looked at the little girl behind her.
　　The little girl was wearing a white dress, and her skin was as white as jade. From a distance, she looked like a perfect porcelain doll, very beautiful.
　　“What a beautiful little girl.”
　　Zhao Linglong sincerely praised.
“Congratulations, congratulations. The Sixth Peak has another good seedling.” Next time in the Seven Peaks Competition, I’m afraid the Sixth Peak will come out on top.”
　　Qing Xiao smiled and cupped his hands towards Zi Yan.
　　Upon hearing this, Zi Yan covered her mouth and smiled, and a hint of charm inadvertently emerged between her eyebrows and eyes.
　　“Bu Yu, quickly meet Senior Brother Qing Xiao and Senior Sister Linglong.”
　　Zi Yan patted the shoulder of the Girl behind her.
　　“Bu Yu, meets Senior Brother Qing Xiao and Senior Sister Linglong.”
　　The little girl unskillfully saluted Qing Xiao and Linglong.
　　“You’re welcome.”
　　Qing　Xiao　smiled.
　　Linglong looked at Xu Taiping beside her and also patted his little head and said：
　　“Taiping, quickly meet Senior Sister Zi Yan of the Sixth Peak and the future little junior sister. Among the seven peaks, the Sixth Peak is the most prosperous. You must curry favor with her well.”
　　“Taiping, greet Senior Sister Ziyan and Sister Buyu.”
　　Although Xu Taiping was a bit confused, he still respectfully bowed to Ziyan.
　　“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. When you become an official disciple of the Seventh Peak, Senior Sister will give you a Peiyuan Pill.”
　　Ziyan smiled and said.
　　“Hurry up and thank Senior Sister Ziyan！”
　　Seeing that Taiping was still in a daze, Zhao Linglong beside him quickly pressed down on his head and asked him to thank Ziyan.
　　“T-Thank you, Senior Sister Ziyan.”
　　Xu Taiping still thanked in a muddled way.
　　“Senior Brother Qingxiao, are you going to the Longmen Hall later？”
　　Ziyan changed the topic.
　　“That’s right. Before taking Taiping to the Seventh Peak, we must first go to the Longmen Hall to test his spiritual bone.”
　　Qingxiao nodded.
　　“Then I’ll go with Senior Brother Qingxiao.”
　　Ziyan controlled the flying sword and came to the side of the crane that Qingxiao and the others were riding.
　　“Then let’s go together.”
　　Qingxiao nodded.
　　“Tut tut tut, Senior Sister Ziyan, why don’t you ride the crane with my senior brother and I’ll take Buyu to fly with the sword？”
　　Zhao Linglong said with a mischievous smile.
　　“Zhao Linglong, are you asking for a beating？”
Ziyan’s cheeks flushed and she let out a.
　　“If you keep talking nonsense, be careful I’ll kick you down.”
　　Qing Xiao gave a glance at Zhao Linglong who was smiling mischievously beside him.
　　“I dare not, I dare not！…”
　　Zhao Linglong hugged Xu Taiping’s shoulder and begged for mercy repeatedly.
　　At this moment, Xu Taiping’s face was also a little hot. Since childhood, it was the first time he had been hugged by a strange woman.
　　However, compared to this shyness, what made him more concerned at this moment was the sentence Qing Xiao said earlier – “First go to the Longmen Hall to measure the spiritual bone.”
　　“Senior Brother Qing Xiao, why do we need to measure the spiritual bone？”
　　Xu Taiping couldn’t help but ask.
　　“Although you are a disciple personally selected by the Spiritual Bone Monument and can directly become a disciple of the Seventh Peak without taking the test, you still need to measure the type and grade of the spiritual bone. This will be beneficial to your future cultivation.”
　　Qing Xiao introduced to Xu Taiping.
　　“Little Taiping, you probably don’t know that in the cultivation world, although those with spiritual bones can cultivate, even spiritual bones have different types and grades.”
Zhao Linglong hooked Xu Taiping’s shoulder and then explained to him while bending her fingers:
　　“In terms of types, the most common ones are the five-element spiritual bones of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Besides, there are also rare exotic bones such as ice, thunder, and wind.”
　　“As for the grades, there are a total of four grades, namely Purple Spiritual Bone, Golden Spiritual Bone, Mysterious Spiritual Bone, and White Spiritual Bone. Among them, the Purple Spiritual Bone is the rarest and is also known as the Heavenly Spiritual Bone, while the White Spiritual Bone is the most useless.”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly understood.
　　“Why is the White Spiritual Bone the most useless？”
　　he　asked　curiously.
