Luo Xiling, who was originally indifferent to barrage, was shocked after seeing this message.
Is it because I'm not sincere enough?
Thinking about the various mythological stories she had read since she was a child about mortals meeting immortals, all of which involved going through numerous tests, she clenched her fists, thinking that she might have found the problem.
That's right! That must be it!
It is because I have prepared too many protective measures, so the immortal thinks that my determination to pursue the Tao is too weak!
"I want to do something big!" Luo Xiling gritted her teeth. She had originally planned to climb to the top of the mountain and use the height to find a mountain she had never climbed, but now she didn't want to continue.
"Hey, anchor, listen to my advice. What are you going to do?"
She glanced at the comments and ignored them.
Fortunately, I didn’t plan to go hiking today, so I left my stuff at the hotel, otherwise my eldest and second brothers would definitely follow me.
If they knew my plan, they would definitely stop me.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiling checked the time on her phone - 11:33.
There are still more than five hours before dark, so it's still early.
Just put in the mountaineering, not too dog.
But she was so anxious to find the immortal that she couldn't wait any longer and jogged down the mountain.
Chapter 156 Kneel down
In Zhang Mu's more than 20 years of life, there has never been a moment that made him feel more shocked than at this moment.
He hurried to the outskirts of Suzhou City and found Luo Xiling taking a rest against a tree halfway up the mountain. Then he heard her yell, "Do something big."
If he heard these words at the bank door, Zhang Mu would immediately understand that these were criminals who were trying to rob.
But a girl who lives alone in the desolate mountains and wilderness cannot possibly be a speculator trying to take shortcuts in life.
Out of curiosity, Zhang Mu followed Luo Xiling down the mountain and came to the nearest mountain peak.
He tilted his head back and squinted his eyes to look around.
In fact, this straight columnar stone mountain in front of us cannot be called a mountain.
It is not high, estimated to be only about 60 meters.
There are no flowers, plants or trees on the mountain, so it is more appropriate to call it a stone pillar. At most, the pillar is a bit high.
At this point, Zhang Mu's mind was still as calm as water.
The transformation happens in the next second.
He looked forward and found that there was no one on the grass where Luo Xiling had been standing.
I looked around subconsciously, but still no one was there.
How could someone on Blue Star disappear right under the nose of a mid-level magician?
With a startle in his heart, he was about to send out his mental power to scan when suddenly a stone fell in front of him and landed on the ground.
Looking up in confusion, I saw Luo Xiling clipping her phone on a head-mounted bracket. She didn't take any protective measures and climbed the mountain at an angle of almost 90 degrees to the ground.
I have to say, the little girl is really capable.
Without a safety rope or climbing nails to fix the foothold, they slowly moved upwards using the narrow cracks scattered on the mountain wall.
How dare she?
Looking at Luo Xiling who had already crawled three to five meters, Zhang Mu would be lying if he said he was not surprised.
Even though she climbed several meters in a short time, this was just the beginning.
As time passed, her energy was depleted at an exponential rate.
And having or not having a safety rope are two completely different concepts.
Just like a bridge, do people usually hold the guardrail when passing by?
Unless someone is leaning on the railing to look into the distance, or a child is just playful by nature, no one will touch it, let alone help it. People basically don't care.
But if not, how many people would dare to walk along the sidewalk?
This is the same principle as unprotected rock climbing.
For rock climbers who have not received targeted training, it doesn’t matter whether the safety rope is useful or not. Whether or not there is a safety rope has a huge impact on one’s mentality.
When she climbed to a height of several dozen meters and looked down, she was able to show her strong mental strength if she did not feel weak in the legs.
"Tsk tsk——"
Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "It's a good thing I came, otherwise this girl would have to leave her life here."
How can we get rid of her and stop her from going crazy?
After thinking about the formation, he decided to wait for Luo Xiling to fall off the mountain, then appear as "Xu Xianren" and persuade her to leave.
"Just do it."
Muttering something, Zhang Mu took out a bottle of mental power-boosting potion from his inventory and drank it. Then he walked to a nearby rock and sat down, quietly waiting for the flying man to land.
This girl is indeed very honest. He supported his chin with his right hand, his thoughts racing.
This is the first batch of menial servants for a sect of immortal cultivation, and I’m planning to find one or two non-official personnel. How about giving her a spot?
Well...how many did the Bureau of Special Investigations give them...
Too much is not enough.
I have to take care of Hogwarts and this place, and I can't handle all the people.
About six people on each side.
But in this way, out of the 23 new students in Ying Country, excluding Leon and Claycee who have already completed the assessment, Toby and Wino who must enroll, and Misha, who he has his eyes on, there are now five people.
In other words, the remaining eighteen people have to compete for one spot.
Tsk, the competition is fierce.
Even though the rules Zhang Mu had given did not emphasize a limit on the number of new students, he still unfairly selected five people.
But Zhang Mu did not feel guilty.
Most things in the world are helpless, and he himself has many things he has to do against his will.
What's more, for the freshmen, they have not paid anything, at most they just lost something that does not belong to them.
If the freshmen resented Zhang Mu because he eliminated most of them according to the order in which they completed the exams.
Zhang Mu felt that he would probably love them well.
He was lost in thought like this, and only came to his senses when he felt the winter wind getting colder.
I took it out and saw that it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
Damn it?
I realized that Luo Xiling reached the foot of the mountain at one o'clock in the afternoon, which means she had been climbing for two hours.
Looking up suddenly, Luo Xiling's figure was hanging in the middle of the stone pillar.
She spread her hands to the left and right, inserted each hand into a crack in the stone to stabilize her body, stepped on a protruding stone tip with her left foot, and groped upwards with her right foot to find a suitable gap for footing.
Amazing.
Zhang Mu felt a little emotional.
Before I gained supernatural powers, I would not have been able to climb a 30-meter-high cliff with my bare hands.
At this moment, Luo Xiling was still lifting her feet up, and one could imagine how hard her daily training was.
He tilted his head back and stared silently for a few minutes, then decided to change his plans.
After swallowing a bottle of levitation potion, he flew straight to the platform on the top of the mountain.
……
"call……"
Holding her hands steady and her feet firmly planted, Luo Xiling took a deep breath and looked down.
so high.
Feeling a little panicked, she took deep breaths and tried to suppress the instinctive trembling of her limbs.
"There's no way back, let's do it!"
Although I was very scared, it was obviously impossible to go back the same way.
Luo Xiling didn't know whether she regretted her somewhat reckless behavior or not, and she didn't have time to think about it.
She was so exhausted that she felt a slight dizziness in her brain.
Holding her breath, she continued to lift her foot.
Can't rest.
Unlike on flat land, even if you stop during rock climbing, you will consume more energy than moving.
While climbing, I scanned the front of the cliff, looking for a suitable leverage point, and tried not to stop.
With her eyes, hands and feet, she moved upwards a little bit.
But no matter how she used techniques to save energy, climbing a 60-meter cliff without auxiliary tools was still too difficult.
Not only do they have to deal with the physical stress of falling, but they also have to overcome the fear that they will die if they step on empty air.
The weather in January is cold and the wind is even colder in the sky.
She looked as if she had been fished out of the water; her thermal underwear and jacket were soaked with sweat and stuck to her skin.
When the wind blew, the coolness made her shiver unconsciously.
Combined with the heat generated by the high-intensity exercise, Luo Xiling felt like she had a high fever.
As the edge of the mountain top gradually enlarged her field of vision, her discomfort symptoms became more severe. Her consciousness became hazy and she moved almost by instinct.
Coming.
