C20 (1/2)
A white light flashed within the Fallen Leaves Hall. Elder Zhou appeared in the hall out of thin air. He glanced at Han Yan and asked, ”What is it?”
Han Yan cupped her hands and said, ”Elder Zhou, this disciple has just come to Fallen Leaves Peak to train, and would like to apply for a cave.”
Elder Zhou's name was Zhou Tong, and his cultivation was about the same as Wei Peng. Normally, an elder like him could have stayed on the main peak to cultivate, but why would he willingly come to a secondary peak? This is not without reason. First of all, although the spiritual energy on the main peak was dense, it was not free. There was a limit to everything one could do, and it was far from being free and unfettered on the secondary peak. Secondly, all the elders who came to the peak could receive one mid-grade spirit stone each month. The spirit energy contained in these spirit stones could be comparable to the spiritual energy stored in the main peak for a month. The last point was the most important. If one could become a deputy peak elder, then they could earn some money. What kind of immortal cultivation cave would a disciple go to? It was all based on a single sentence from him.
Seeing that Han Yan was quite polite, Zhou Tong nodded and asked, ”Who is your master?”
Han Yan replied, ”Master Wei Peng.”
”Wei Peng?” The corners of Zhou Tong's mouth formed a faint smile. He asked, ”When your master came, did he say anything?”
Han Yan looked puzzled. ”He said she wants me to come here to apply for the cave abode. All I need to do is to hand over the identity jade pendant to the elder.” He took out a jade pendant and handed it to Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong took the jade pendant and indifferently glanced at it. ”Besides this, does your master have anything else to give you?”
Hearing this, no matter how dumb Han Yan was, she understood what it meant. But when his master left, she only gave him a cultivation manual, she couldn't possibly take that out right! Seeing Zhou Tong's expectant expression, Han Yan awkwardly replied, ”Reporting to Elder Zhou, this disciple came in a hurry. Master did not …”
Zhou Tong's expression immediately became unsightly. He coldly snorted and said, ”You don't understand the rules here. Could it be that your master doesn't understand as well?”
Han Yan was silent. Immortal, is this what they call an immortal? Immortals were no different from mortals; they knew how to take bribes.
Seeing Han Yan's appearance, how could Zhou Tong not see that this kid couldn't take out anything at all? He casually took out a jade token from his storage bag and threw it to Han Yan, ”This is your cave.”
Han Yan took the jade medallion, then turned and left.
The jade was only the size of his palm and it was made of white jade. There was a formation on it that contained a faint amount of spiritual energy. There were four numbers written on the jade plate: 1986. This word represented the location of the cave. Han Yan took the jade medallion and quickly walked towards the cave. When she arrived at cave # 1986, she placed the jade medallion into the cave in front of the cave. A white light flashed in front of the cave, and a cave about the height of a man appeared in front of him.
Taking the jade tablet from the cave, Han Yan's figure flashed and she entered the cave. She then placed the jade tablet into a cave in the cave. Then, with a flash of white light, a formation appeared in the cave. This jade token was the same as the keys in the mortal world. Not only could it open the cave, it could also close the cave. Of course, this was only limited to beginner disciples. If one's cultivation level was above Qi Disciple level 1, they could use their own divine sense to activate the formation as long as they had a jade token on them.
The abode was not big, only about half the size of Wei Peng's abode. Other than a stone bed and a prayer mat, there was nothing else. Han Yan walked to the praying mat, and did not feel the surrounding spiritual energy gathering. She understood that not all the prayer mats in the cave could gather the surrounding spiritual energy, and her master probably laid a formation on the praying mat to forcefully gather the spiritual energy.
Han Yan closed her eyes, feeling the shockingly low amount of spiritual energy in the surroundings, she bitterly smiled, ”Fine, fine!” In any case, you need to use the Heaven's Path Jade Seal to cultivate, so it doesn't matter where you go. ” The spiritual energy in the surroundings was too little. Although it was slightly thicker than the spiritual energy in the outer court mountains, it was not much higher. Although the spiritual energy here could not be compared with that of the main peak, there were still places with relatively dense spiritual energy. For example, the caves she had encountered before, the surrounding spiritual energy was much stronger than here. The further she went down the mountain, the thinner the spiritual energy was. Han Yan understood in her heart that the cave he was in was probably the worst one among all.
Han Yan sat cross-legged on the praying mat, closed his eyes and entered into cultivation. At this moment, his cultivation had already reached the peak. As long as she silently activated the technique, he would be able to enter the second layer. Han Yan had just closed his eyes, constantly activating her magic technique. Once, twice, thrice …
