"You still remember to come back?"
Hearing the familiar voice, She Xuan's frightened heart inexplicably calmed down. Soon, she walked towards the outer courtyard with a dark face and anger rising.
"Why are you back so late? Where have you been?"
"I was originally going to Hongling County, but I stopped at Dashengguan on the way. I sent my nephew home first, and then I talked to the Zhu brothers about business issues. I also met my sister."
Lu Bei told the truth, and then took out a stack of account books: "I just came back from your pawn shop, and I haven't rested yet. If you have any questions, let me talk to you later."
She Xuan took the account book, flipped through it casually, and put it into her Qiankun bag. She frowned and said, "Your senior sister went to Dasheng Pass. Isn't she under house arrest and not allowed to go out?"
"That was originally the case, but the situation has changed. She has been released from the ban and will go to Dasheng Pass to pick me up and take me back to Lingxiao Sword Sect."
"Return to Lingxiao Sword Sect..."
She Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and she crossed her arms and said, "What about Yuhua Sect? What about Hulu and the others? Don't even ask me to help take care of them. I don't have that much free time."
"How can I give it to you? You've been corrupted. I can't even find a place to cry."
"What's the meaning?"
"I won't go back to Lingxiao Sword Sect. We'll talk about it later."
"Humph, you have a conscience and know how to feel sorry for these little girls."
She Xuan's mood improved, but when she heard about Senior Sister Bai, the more she looked at the pretty boy, the more annoying he became. She snorted coldly and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Three seconds later, she returned the same way and said to Lu Bei solemnly, "Lu Bei, something big has happened. A demon bird has come to Sanqing Peak. It is young and has just hatched. I can't tell its specific species, but its bloodline is of an incredible quality. If it is allowed to grow up, Jiuzhu Mountain may have to change its owner."
"Is this true? When did it happen?" Lu Bei asked in surprise.
"Just now, before you came in, a huge monster bird landed on a tree in the backyard. I had to work very hard to drive it away." She Xuan said with lingering fear. To prove that what she said was true, she even asked the golden-scaled snake to testify for her.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss—”
The golden-scaled snake lay in She Xuan's palm, shaking its head and tail, and swaying in several shapes.
"Sorry, reproductive isolation, bah, racial segregation, I don't understand snake language."
Lu Bei's face was full of black lines, and he stepped on the ground. "Snake... Sister She, are you daydreaming? The sword formation left by my senior brother is so dangerous that even an Xiantian Realm cultivator would die if they broke into it. If that demon bird really had the ability to come and go freely, how could it have just hatched? It's not that I don't believe you, but your words are inconsistent and I can tell it's fake at first glance."
"But… "
She Xuan couldn't find any words to refute, so she gritted her teeth and waited for the demon bird to appear again so that Lu Bei could see it with his own eyes.
Suddenly, she thought of something and said casually, "Congratulations to Sect Leader Lu. Hulu's sisters have successfully transformed some time ago. Sanqing Peak is thriving and will soon flourish."
"What?!"
Lu Bei's eyes widened: "Tell me again, who transformed?"
"Huo Xuan, Hu Xuan, Hu Xuan, and Hu Xuan, a few days after you left, the four of them transformed at the same time. They slept soundly that night, and it was not until the next day that we discovered that they had been making a lot of noise for a long time before they stopped."
She Xuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Congratulations, Master Lu. With Hu Bo included, we now have all five of the five elements, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Judging from the names of these five little guys, their future achievements are promising."
What can I expect
Lu Bei was breathing heavily through his nostrils, and his heart ached beyond words.
Having missed the transformation of Hubo, and the remaining four, he, Lu, just wanted to be by her side and give her some pointers on face pinching. Why is it so difficult
I'm so mad!
"Where are they? Are they waiting in the house for the master to buy them new clothes?"
"Oh, if you buy me clothes, I will have to run around naked every day."
She Xuan pointed towards the entrance of the underground palace and said, "I helped them buy a lot of clothes. They are practicing in the clay figurine formation. They were quite playful before they transformed, but they are much more sensible after they transformed."
"Well done, I don't know how to praise you enough!"
Lu Bei uttered some heartfelt words viciously, turned around like the wind, and disappeared in front of She Xuan in a flash. The latter stretched out her hand but failed to stop him.
"Annoying guy, is it an illusion? Why do I feel like he has become stronger again?" She Xuan felt deeply frustrated. The sense of superiority that had just arisen in her heart instantly dissipated. She returned to the house with heavy steps and sat cross-legged to consolidate her current state.

Wu Zhou, 824, end of October.
One figure after another appeared silently, distributed in the twelve states and eighty-four counties of Wu Zhou. If the camera zoomed out a little further, from the foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain in the north to the black sand sea in the west, there were more or less figures turning from virtual to real.
No one knows where these people came from, because they already existed. Later, some people who were proficient in divination observed the celestial phenomena, intercepted a piece of heaven's secrets, and spied on the situation of "immortal reincarnation".
The world is about to fall into chaos, the gates of heaven will open, and the immortal paradise that the monks have been pursuing will be revived.
It is hard to say whether the facts are as the astronomical phenomena say. Just looking at the strange names of these reincarnated immortals, they should be quite unreliable.
Ningzhou, Dongyang County, Langyu County.
More than 30 players left the county town excitedly, their destination being Jiuzhu Mountain.
Professional players raced against time, while non-professional players stopped and walked, visiting the Ma family's rebellious son several times along the way, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.
The game [Jiuzhou World] did not receive much attention in the early stages of development.
The reason is very simple. There are too many false advertisements claiming to be holographic games. In order to attract attention, game companies spend a lot of money on CG and use feet to play games. The actual experience is not as realistic as advertised. The bridge of integrity between people has collapsed.
You don't put your heart into it, but you want me to pay you
Bah, isn’t playing Landlord fun
Players are stupid but not fools. After being fooled several times in a row, they remain unmoved no matter how sweet the game companies say. They just wait to see the reputation after the internal beta test.
[Jiuzhou World] had an excellent reputation during the three-day internal beta test, and without resorting to hunger marketing, it went public with no deletion after fifteen days of internal beta testing, winning the favor of many waiting players.
On the official website forum, players purchased game pods and posted messages for 15 consecutive days, finally waiting for the long-awaited public beta day.
Thanks to the official pinned video post and the traffic from the crosstalk UP host Lingjia brothers, Langyu County has become one of the main targets of many players. More than 30 players may not seem like a lot, but in fact, because the vast majority of players prefer to practice magic and demon cultivation, there are only a little more than 20% left for Taoist cultivation. After being randomly distributed to various countries in Kyushu, more than 30 people are really a lot.
Moreover, there are some players who have set their sights on the novice village Jiuzhushan. They are currently suffering from the torture of random birth and are frantically creating accounts.
Let the players fly for a while.
There is nothing we can do about the small number of Taoist players.
Just looking at the promotional pictures on the official website forum, you can see that the witches and demons are all dressed coolly and have strong capital, while the Taoist fairies are a little conservative, giving people a feeling of lack of confidence at first glance.
As we all know, the less you wear, the higher the damage and the stronger the combat effectiveness.
Fairies are wearing so many clothes, they are definitely no match for demon girls and witches. To round it off, Taoist practitioners are not as good as demon practitioners and magic practitioners.
You can't be wrong.
Buddhist: “…”
Here, Lu Bei once again thanked the pinned video post and the crosstalk UP host. Players who are inclined to Taoism have expressed their strong interest in Yuhuamen, not because of the slender-waisted big sister and the vixen little sister, but because of the name of "Three Purities".
The programmers dared to name a broken mountain Sanqing, there must be a deep meaning behind it, and they have decided on this main line.
The savvy professional player felt that he had seen through the script, and rushed towards Sanqing Peak without stopping. He rested twice on the way and finally arrived at Yuhua Gate before noon when the sun was high in the sky.
“I’m so tired!”
"Reality is a good thing, but fatigue is unnecessary. Just make it a progress bar to make everyone happy."
“Is that still real?”
"To be honest, I'm lucky that it's just my body in the game. If it were in the real world, I wouldn't be able to climb up after dark."
"I can do it, I am not in vain, it is durable and has never received a bad review."
"Come on, there are no female players here, who are you bragging to?"
In front of the door, Hu Bo was thrown out by Lu Bei to sweep the floor. Seeing groups of people appearing one after another, he recited the lines with a serious face: "We are guests from afar. Please be patient. The master already knows your purpose, but the auspicious time has not yet arrived. Now is not the best time to accept disciples. Please wait for another half an hour."
As he spoke, Hu Bo took out a bottle of Qi Ling Dan as instructed and distributed it to several players who were lying on the ground.
The first group of people who went up the mountain were all professional players. Their purpose was simple: to level up as quickly as possible, get out of the Novice Village, and venture into the vast map outside.
After hearing what Hu Bo said, they all secretly cursed their bad luck. If they had known they would have to wait for the weaklings behind them, they would not have climbed so fast.
Half an hour passed in a flash, and more than 20 players who had taken the Qi Ling Pill walked into the outer courtyard. Lu Bei had been waiting for a long time, and without a word, he raised his hand and smashed out a half-meter-high Taoist classic, shaking the ground slightly.
"Yuhua Sect is recruiting disciples today. Don't make any noise. Line up and come forward one by one. Those who are destined to be can become outer disciples. Those who are not destined to be can go back to where they came from." Lu Bei glanced at the twenty or so players. His calm voice mixed with deterrence made this group of unruly players who were just waiting to become big and strong and to defy the world become much more obedient.
If he wants the horse to run, he has to feed it grass. If he wants to reap the players' benefits, he has to let the players taste the sweetness and be willing to come to him for reap the benefits.
What is sweetness
When leveling up at Sanqing Peak, players can get skills, elixirs, and even dungeon maps before others, and complete the Novice Village strategy first. This is the sweetness.
Simple and practical.
Currently, Lu Bei does not have many resources and cannot train strong players, but it is more than enough to provide an experience room with a good environment.
As the chief of the Novice Village, he is the one who selects the players instead of the players choosing him.
For example, there is a person with the ID Hao Baba on his forehead. Lu Bei said he couldn't say anything. He can go wherever he wants. Yuhuamen is too small to accommodate a second Baba.
Player number 20 quickly lined up in a row, the atmosphere was full, and the first player suppressed his surprise and strode to Lu Bei.
He has an upright posture, a resolute look, and a heroic face.
"Name."
"Uh, the last name is Zhantian, and the given name is Kuangmo."
"Mad demon..."
Lu Bei pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It doesn't matter if there is a devil in your mouth, but the truth is that there is no devil in your heart. You can be an outer disciple and try the Taoist scriptures over there to see what you can understand."
"Thank you, Master."
Zhan Tian Kuang Mo walked towards the Taoist scriptures happily, while Hao Baba, who was in the second place, was impatient and quickly came to Lu Bei.
"Master, I am..."
"No chance, go back, next one."
"ah?"
