Chapter 158: Encountering a White Tiger on Dongyang Mountain
Chapter 158: Encountering a White Tiger on Dongyang Mountain
Tiger Hill in the early morning was bathed in the dawn light, and it was only five o'clock.
The entire Jiangbei City was silent. Xiao Jie stood in the woods, looking at the empty Tiger Hill around him and yawned. He felt a little sleepy, but with the help of his inner strength, it was not a big problem.
Xiao Jie got up early just to test the effect of Qinggong.
Although flying on the grass is also very cool, walking on the wind and riding the clouds, flying on the clouds and chasing the moon, this is the true form of Qinggong.
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Xiao Jie circulated his internal energy and leaped forward.
The first part of Feiyun Zhuyue - Rise on the wind!
He felt a stream of clear air gathering in his chest, and the whole person seemed to rise up as if on the wind. In an instant he flew eight or nine meters high, as high as a three-story building.
Damn, that feels good!
The internal force circulates, infuses into the limbs and bones, and gathers at the feet.
The second paragraph——Feiyundu!
As if he was stepping on invisible stepping stones, he did a somersault and leaped diagonally upwards again, another four or five meters high and ten meters away.
At this time, he was already about twelve or thirteen meters above the ground. In fact, he could be even higher, but for safety reasons, it was better not to be too reckless.
Looking at the towering ground beneath his feet, Xiao Jie felt surprised and refreshed. At this height, he really felt like he was flying.
Follow the moon!
He kicked his legs hard, spread his hands flat on both sides of the body to keep balance, and flew out like a big bird. The sound of wind whistling came from his ears. He sprinted for more than ten meters before suddenly slowing down.
His body began to fall downwards, but Xiao Jie was not panicked.
Flying geese!
The whole person was like a bird riding the wind, gliding slowly into the woods on the hillside.
When he fell back to the ground, Xiao Jie's legs felt a little weak.
Exciting, so exciting!
This is more exciting than skydiving or bungee jumping, and more refreshing than hang gliding or paragliding.
It’s exactly the same as the martial arts skills I imagined in my dreams when I was a child. It’s so cool!
Moreover, now that his internal strength has matured, his endurance when performing light skills has also increased a lot, so he didn't feel any consumption at all after doing this set of skills.
It was a pity that I was in the city, and I couldn't use my Qinggong skills without any scruples.
Next time I’ll find a chance to go to the deep mountains and forests and have some fun.
After trying a few more times, he gradually became familiar with the essentials of Feiyun Zhuyue. Seeing that it was getting late and people doing morning exercises had already started to hang out, Xiao Jie went down the mountain and went home.
After having breakfast at a breakfast stall on the way, Xiao Jie was not in a hurry to log into the game after returning home.
I lay in bed and took another nap.
He didn't come online again until noon.
As soon as I came online, I received a private message from someone called Yuchengxian.
"Brother Feng, why haven't you come online yet?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't we agree to go up the mountain in the afternoon?"
"Oh, well, I forgot in my excitement."
Xiao Jie sighed, "I told you to be more cautious, Chengxian. Of course it has nothing to do with me. If you are accepted as a disciple by Xuanxu Palace, you will get into trouble sooner or later with your reckless state. You don't think you can sit back and relax after becoming a disciple, do you?"
"I'll keep an eye on it, Feng. What time do we leave?"
"Three o'clock, so that we can get up the mountain at around five o'clock. The Taoist priests from Xuanxu Palace won't chase us down the mountain so late at night. By the way, how many levels have you reached with your Barbarian Bull Skill?"
"The seventh floor is just enough to get Raging Sea."
It takes 50 points of strength to pick up the Raging Sea Tide, but I only have 30 points of strength in My Desire to Become an Immortal. However, each level of the Bull Skill can increase 3 points of strength, and the seventh level means 21 points of strength, so I can pick it up with one hand.
Can also be used with a shield.
Looking at me, Yuchengxian, holding a steel shield in one hand and a raging sea in the other, wearing heavy armor, I still look very powerful.
"Not bad, not bad. I have also upgraded my internal strength to the maximum level and learned Qinggong. With this, our combat power should be superior to that of a level 13 trumpet."
As Xiao Jie spoke, he ran to the auction house to collect the money for the wine.
All five bottles of monkey wine are sold out again.
Xiao Jie could feel that the shipment volume of this monkey wine could still be guaranteed in the short term. It was estimated that the market shortage caused by the death of the winemaker some time ago would continue for some time.
A lot of materials from the two suppliers had been put up for sale, and Xiao Jie ate them all, and then made ten bottles of monkey wine and put them up for sale.
I also sold a few secret dog foods, but compared with the profits from monkey wine, it was nothing.
He checked his bag and found that he had another twelve taels of silver. At this rate, if he saved up for ten days or half a month, he would be able to buy an advanced martial arts manual or a precious sword.
By three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Jie was finally ready, "Let's go, Chengxian, to Xuanxu Palace."
When passing by the square, Xiao Jie looked towards the place where the crazy Taoist was yesterday, but found that the person was gone.
But he didn't care. This guy was obviously an NPC who was doing some fun. Maybe he was going to do some fun somewhere else.
After exiting the north gate of Xiaofeng City and walking north along the avenue outside the city, the environment around Xiaofeng City is quite good. Residential houses and farmlands are scattered around the city, with pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream. Farmers transport vegetables, fruits, grains, etc. into the city, giving the city a bit of a breath of life.
Monsters are rarely seen, and from time to time you can see groups of soldiers patrolling the roads. As expected, the state capital is different. Xiaofeng City and the surrounding areas are the most orderly places in the entire game for Xiao Jie.
After passing through the village and the wilderness, we came to the foot of a gently sloping mountain, where we saw a wide stone staircase leading all the way to the top of the mountain.
What is shown on the map is Dongyang Mountain.
So close... Xiao Jie immediately relaxed when he saw the beautiful mountains in front of him. Compared with the wilderness, this mountain, which was very close to the main city and had infrastructure, seemed much safer. There was no such feeling of being nervous.
There are two welcoming pines at the foot of the mountain, one on the left and one on the right growing on both sides of the steps, forming an arch-like shape.
A level 27 player was sitting cross-legged under a pine tree setting up a stall with a sign above it.
It says: [The expert will take people up the mountain and pay one tael of silver per person. You can take them first and pay later.]
Is there really anyone who brings people up the mountain?
In the past, Xiao Jie would have to worry about it, but now that he is rich, he can just pay someone to take him to the mountain.
"Master, please help take care of them. There are two of us in total."
Bai Ze (Taoist): "No problem, come on, I'll take you up the mountain."
After the three of them formed a team, Bai Ze led the two of them up the mountain.
As he walked, Xiao Jie started to inquire for information.
"What is the difference between this Taoist temple and the Taoist palace?"
“The difference between a Taoist temple and a Taoist palace is that a Taoist temple only has Taoists, while a Taoist palace is where immortals have been born. Only places where immortals have been born are qualified to be called Taoist palaces.
A thousand years ago, this Xuanxu Palace had an immortal named Xuanxuzi. Although he has long since disappeared, his immortal skills have been passed down."
Bai Ze led the way and gave explanations to the two of them at the same time. It really felt like a tour guide.
"Be careful, there are tigers ahead."
Xiao Jie perked up and looked carefully, and sure enough, he saw a giant tiger with drooping eyes and a white forehead walking back and forth in an open space halfway up the mountain.
White Tiger: Level 30. HP 5000.
What a big tiger! Xiao Jie was frightened. Even if he was friendly with wild animals, he still felt unsafe.
"Why doesn't anyone come to kill this BOSS?"
"Haha, because this thing is not a BOSS at all, it's just a summoned beast, summoned by the Taoist priests in Xuanxu Palace and placed here to drive people away. Recently, there are too many people coming to Xuanxu Palace to seek Taoism, which makes the masters very annoyed, so they just put a summoned beast here to scare people.
No one knew about it at the beginning, and several guilds organized fights against them, but in the end, nothing was dropped after killing them.
And if I kill it today, it will spawn again tomorrow. Later I found out that it was a summoned beast released by Xuanxu Palace.
By the way, have you accumulated spiritual power? They take qualifications into consideration when accepting disciples, and the threshold is getting higher and higher. In the early days, it was said that 40 spiritual power was enough to get in, but now, 60 is enough. "
Xiao Jie was shocked when he heard this. 60 spirituality...! That was too much. Even if he put all his spirituality points in from now on, he could only reach around 19 at level 60. "Why is this happening?"
"Of course I have too many apprentices."
As they were talking, the three of them had already entered the white tiger's warning range.
Awooo! The white tiger roared suddenly, and the sound shook the mountains.
Bai Ze hurriedly cast a spell.
Group invisibility!
Puff, a ball of white mist enveloped the three people. The White Tiger lost its vision and immediately regained its calm. Bai Ze led the two of them and easily bypassed the area patrolled by the White Tiger and passed this level easily.
There is nothing much to say next. Dongyang Mountain is obviously the same as Xiaofeng City. Both are safe maps guarded by high-level NPCs. Apart from the white tiger, there are no wolves or wild boars to be seen. The wild animals are all rabbits, deer and the like. You can even see cranes flying in groups in the sky.
Xiao Jie thought it would take some effort, but unexpectedly the road was smooth and he reached the top of the mountain in less than an hour.
In front of a magnificent Taoist palace.
"Okay, we're here. Let's add each other as friends. If you need to go down the mountain, you can find me. I'll give you one or two taels of silver. Of course, you can also jump off the cliff. As long as your Qinggong is high enough, you shouldn't die from the fall."
"Thank you, master." Xiao Jie exchanged two taels of silver and expressed his gratitude.
"Haha, what are you thanking me for? We charge a fee, and each one takes what he needs. Goodbye, and I wish you success in becoming my disciple."
Watching Bai Ze disappear, the two walked towards the Taoist palace in front.
As soon as they approached, they were stunned. They saw more than a dozen players kneeling densely outside the gate of Xuanxu Palace.
They were all level 9 or 19, and there was even one level 29. They knelt in an orderly manner, facing the palace gate, and from time to time someone would shout at the gate.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple. If you don't accept me, I will kneel here for the rest of my life."
"Master, please see how sincere I am, and accept me as yours!"
"Hey, does anyone have some steamed buns to sell me? I've run out of food."
No need to ask, they are definitely those who came here to seek the truth but failed.
