"You fell for it, baby, a monk is running to a famous mountain to cut the Fire Unicorn. You believe this nonsense?"
Just as the girl was about to pay for the glass beads, a young man wearing glasses and a suit stopped her in time.
However, the girl clearly couldn't take any advice and insisted on buying the powerful treasure that was only refined after eighty thousand battles.
"Mr. Xu, the monk said I can live a long life, and he wouldn't lie to me…"
"Feng Baobao, someone from the 'All Passes Corporation'."
George, who had been standing by observing, quickly understood their identities through their conversation with the girl and the young man.
The girl's name is Feng Baobao, and the young man is called Xu Si.
There's also a man named Xu San, and Zhang Chulang, the successor of the Qiji Technique Qi Body Source Transmission, who has been causing a stir recently. They are all connected.
They are all people from relevant departments of the 'All Passes Corporation'.
"Which is able to suppress the whole heterogeneous realm, the All Passes Corporation indeed is not ordinary."
After clarifying the girl's identity, George was no longer so surprised and turned around to walk towards the back mountain.
Unlike the major factions that only care about taking their own areas, the government's departments recruit talents from all over the country to serve themselves.
Moreover, considering that our country has a large population, it is not uncommon to find one or two extraordinary individuals with exceptional energy levels.
A true master is not necessarily strong just because they have high internal energy; it also depends on how they utilize that energy.
Just like Sakura, she has a stronger magic power in her body than Eriou from 'Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha,' but she doesn't know how to use it. That makes her indistinguishable from an ordinary girl.
This girl might have the potential to become a top-level master, but it seems she is not there yet at least.
Moreover, it seems her brain is not too normal.
Having found a Daoist to ask for directions to the back mountain, George no longer hesitated and began to walk there on foot.
The back mountain is an area that has not been developed by the tourism bureau at all, so there are no properly constructed paths to walk on. It's all about creating your own path.
To be honest, without some help from tools, it's really difficult for ordinary people to reach the back mountain.
After about half an hour of climbing up the mountain and passing through a forest, he finally arrived at the entrance of the back mountain.
And, he also saw Liu Xingyang and Huang Ming here.
"Mr. Jin, this is it."
Huang Ming waved at George when he saw him appear.
"This is a simple preliminary selection; only by passing this can you qualify to attend and visit the Lao Tian Grand Sacrifice."
The original plan was for the two brothers to wait for George in the mountains, but they were concerned that George might not be familiar with the situation, so they decided to stay at the entrance.
George looked behind Huang Ming and saw a deep gorge. The path to the opposite side of the gorge was not a bridge, but a series of ropes hanging in the wind.
In this situation, not only would an ordinary person not dare to go, but even an acrobat performing high-wire acts might hesitate.
However, for those with extraordinary abilities, this is not a problem at all.
Even if we don't talk about the exponents of various martial arts traditions, the self-cultivating masters who naturally awakened their innate abilities, with the enhancement of qi in their bodies, have significantly improved their physical functions, and they can still pass this test.
The Dragon and Tiger Mountain is conducting this preliminary selection mainly to eliminate some ordinary people.
"Let's go!"
While Huang Ming and George were explaining, an increasing number of extraordinarily gifted individuals emerged from the forest, some using ropes for leverage, others jumping directly across, or utilizing Taoist arts and controlling birds.
Most of them easily passed through the gorge and arrived on the other side of the mountain.
"Let's go over there too."
Liu Xingyang and Huang Ming lightly leaped and were already on the other side.
The main cultivation of White Cloud Peak focuses on the soul and the body. This distance is not even necessary to borrow power for such a leap.
George, on the other hand, teleported directly to the other side.
In his current identity as a wizard, wizards do not have the ability to jump over a canyon with their physical bodies. Even if Voldemort were to come, he wouldn't be able to do it.
In this situation, either a wizard would take out a broomstick for flight or use the wand to teleport.
As for flight magic, there are only a few wizards who can actually fly.
So using the Patronus charm is the most reasonable choice for him.
After entering the mountain, they quickly saw several well-built grandstands, which should be the competition sites. In front of those venues, people were already lining up.
"These are all the extraordinarily gifted individuals from various martial arts traditions across the country. Mr. Jin, you and your younger brother go over there to draw lots, and I'll find some old friends to chat with."
Liu Xingyang couldn't help but let out a sigh as he looked at the hundreds of extraordinarily gifted individuals in front.
There are quite a few Taoist friends among them, as well as some personal acquaintances he hasn't seen in years. It wouldn't be possible without the Lao Tian Grand Sacrifice.
"Master Liu, we will meet later."
George nodded and, following the signs, walked towards the area where competitors were to draw lots.
For this Lao Tian Grand Sacrifice, the participating age is under 30 years old, so there are also many companions accompanying the participants.
Like Huang Ming participating, Liu Xingyang also came along.
In addition, there are a large number of independent cultivators with various purposes.
He is satisfied with this situation because the more people who come, the more diverse martial arts and spells he can see from different schools.
This is one of the reasons he came to participate in the Lao Tian Grand Sacrifice.
Circling around to an open area behind the competition venue, there were already a number of competitors gathered there.
"It seems like everyone here is a good match, and I hope I don't get eliminated on the first day. That would be too embarrassing."
Seeing the competitors from various schools and factions around him, Huang Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
After all, it was his first time traveling far to represent his sect in such a competition, and he was quite nervous internally.
Although his teacher had said beforehand that it was just to let him see the world and gain experience, he also wanted to do well and bring honor to White Cloud Peak.
If he were to be eliminated on the first day, it would be a major embarrassment.
"Don't worry, Old Huang. Just with your ability to manifest the Yang Spirit, I think you'll be fine."
George patted Huang Ming's shoulder and comforted him.
It wasn't just pure comfort. He sensed that among the competitors present, there were not many with higher energy levels than Huang Ming.
And Huang Ming's manifestation of the Yang Spirit is something that most extraordinarily gifted individuals would likely have a hard time dealing with.
So, as long as his luck isn't too bad, he shouldn't get eliminated in the first round if he doesn't run into particularly strong opponents.
Just as he was chatting with Huang Ming, the girl from the "All Passes Corporation" who seemed to have a not-so-good brain named Feng Baobao, and Zhuang Chuangan, the most discussed figure in recent forums about Qijitian's Qihutian Source Transmission, arrived.
However, as soon as they arrived, they stirred up a wave of resentment.
Because when someone asked Feng Baobao if she was here to compete for the inheritance of the Heavenly Master, Feng Baobao straightforwardly pointed to Zhang Chulang and replied:
"I'm not here to become the Heavenly Master. He is the Heavenly Master. My job is to take care of all the opponents who get in his way."
This scared Zhang Chulang so much that he broke out in cold sweat immediately and hurriedly pulled Feng Baobao to the side.
"My little sister, it's okay. You should be more careful with your words!"
"Alright, let's settle this with a fight then!"
Feng Baobao quickly pulled out a sharp little knife, her face full of wisdom.
