"This Taoist friend, who was once prosperous, is from Lingwang City. These are all my friends. I was about to go to participate in the trial. I didn't expect to meet you here in Guijing. We always like to make friends. Can you I would like to ask, is Taoist friend also here for the entrance trial?"
A group of people came to Xu Que. The leader was a fat young man who looked fair and tender. He looked a little rich. He was smiling and took the initiative to greet Xu Que.
Xu Que smiled indifferently and slightly bowed his hands to the others: "I'm Hua Wuque. This trip is just for the entrance trial point. It's a pity that the information is not well-informed and I lost my way here!"
"It turns out to be Brother Hua. As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on friends when going out. We just happen to know the location of the trial point. If Brother Hua doesn't mind, you can go with us!" The fat boy Zeng Wengwen said with an enthusiastic smile.
"Brother Zeng, you are so polite. You have such outstanding temperaments. It is truly an honor for me to be able to travel with you."
"No, no, Brother Hua has already perfected the Golden Elixir at a young age, and he is so elegant and graceful. He is really a role model for us. To be honest, we were attracted by Brother Hua's majestic and heroic appearance just now, so we Hurry up and make friends."
"Brothers are so polite, it's really ridiculous."
"No, no, no, Brother Hua is being humble!"
…
This time, Xu Que showed off his free and uninhibited side, boasting and complimenting each other with several people. In the end, his face was full of sympathy and regret for meeting each other, and he almost wanted to burn yellow paper to worship his brother.
But everyone knows in their hearts that these are just a joke.
They wanted to make friends with Xu Que because Xu Que was a good person.
Xu Que wanted to use them to lead the way to the so-called trial point to gain some pretentiousness before going through the tribulation.
Along the way, Xu Que also learned specific information about this entry trial.
Generally speaking, this is an activity for a large sect called Tianxiang Valley to recruit new disciples from among the five countries.
This event is only held every hundred years, and each time some trial points are randomly set up in various countries. Those with connections will naturally receive the message and go there, while those without connections can only rely on fate.
Zeng Wenfeng and others were all descendants of some wealthy families in Lingwang City, but they did not know much about the assessment content of the trial point. On the contrary, they became very interested when they talked about the female disciples of Tianxiang Valley.
"Tianxiang Valley has produced several talented women over the years. Each one of them has extraordinary strength, beautiful appearance, and beautiful appearance."
"But the one who amazes the world the most is the empress of Shuiyuan Kingdom more than a hundred years ago!"
"Well, it is said that she has a Tianshui spiritual root. Later, she received some blessings and became a Tianbing spiritual root. She entered the Nascent Soul stage in just twenty years old. Now a hundred years later, she is already a leader in the Infant Transformation stage. I heard that Even the Fire Emperor is no match for her!"
"I heard that if I can advance to the end of Tianxiang Valley's entrance examination and get the elite entry order this time, the empress will come forward as a senior sister and teach the secrets in person!"
"Haha, everyone is saying that if I could meet and kiss the empress of Shuiyuan Kingdom, I would have almost no regrets in this life!"
"Brother Zeng, be careful of misfortune coming from your mouth. Just say this in our Huo Yuan Kingdom. If you have the opportunity to go to Shui Yuan Kingdom in the future, don't say it nonsense."
"Yes, Brother Zeng, we cannot just care about the existence of the Empress."
…
Several people chatted with each other, very respectful to the empress, and full of fantasies.
Xu Que, however, was a little disapproving. No matter who you are, the female emperor or the male emperor of Shuiyuan Kingdom, when the dragon veins in the imperial tombs of the Five Kingdoms are mined, you will not be able to become emperors!
Soon, the group of people bypassed the mountain road and headed towards a forest path.
The forest is covered with green shade, the paths are covered with withered yellow leaves, and the birds are chirping quietly.
Zeng Fanrong pointed to the depths of the forest and said: "The trial point is ahead. It is said that when you enter, you will encounter a large fire formation. We must pass through a sea of fire to qualify for the trial."
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, there was an invisible light curtain in front of them, like a wall of air. If you were not careful, you might be in danger after stepping inside.
"I heard that the sea of fire is so weird that it's not enough to rely on true energy to resist it."
"Well, fortunately we are well-informed and have prepared fire-proof magic weapons in advance."
"I also spent a lot of spiritual stones to buy two fire-avoiding talismans, which should be enough."
Several monks said with confidence, and they were all confident.
Xu Que followed a few people, but he was a little absent-minded and did not speak.
A tall and thin young man looked at him and asked, "Hey, Brother Hua, have you prepared any methods to avoid the fire?"
Xu Que was startled and shook his head: "Avoid fire? It seems not!"
Why bother to avoid the fire? Why go to such trouble to avoid it when there is just a sea of fire? Wouldn't it be enough to just split it with a "Flame Devouring Wave Ruler"
When several people heard that he said there was no way to avoid fire, they were stunned.
Some people hurriedly covered the belt around their waists, where two fire-avoiding charms were tied.
The rest of the people were also slightly embarrassed and laughed dryly: "It seems that Brother Hua must have other clever tricks!"
A clever technique
Of course, this was just a polite remark to avoid the topic. In fact, it was because he was afraid that Xu Que would ask them to borrow a fire-avoiding talisman or a fire-avoiding magic weapon!
Those things are too precious to them. They use them once and use them one less time. How can they borrow them easily
On the other hand, the fat young man named Zeng Fansheng walked up to Xu Que with enthusiasm and took out a blue bead, as big as the palm of his hand, with faint water lines flowing on it!
"Brother Hua, let me lend you this water elemental bead. It contains a lot of water elemental spiritual power, and with your advanced cultivation, you will definitely be able to survive this fierce fire formation." Zeng Fansheng said.
Before Xu Que could react, several other people exclaimed:
"It turns out to be a water elemental pearl. It's worth a lot of money!"
"Brother Zeng is really generous in his move. Brother Hua is lucky this time. With this water elemental pearl, it will not be a problem to survive the fierce fire formation."
"Brother Zeng has a lot of wealth and is generous in spending money. He is really a good Taoist friend!"
Everyone praised him, and some looked envious.
Xu Que also didn't expect that Zeng Prosperity would be so enthusiastic. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Brother Zeng, for your kindness. However, I can survive this sea of fire, and this water elemental pearl is valuable. Brother Zeng, you'd better put it away first!"
"This..." Zeng Fusheng was stunned. This was the first time he helped someone but was rejected.
The rest of the people were also stunned and looked at Xu Que with strange eyes.
Zeng Prosperity advised: "Brother Hua, the power of that great fire formation is extraordinary. Even the powerful ones in the Nascent Soul stage don't dare to step in casually. They have to rely on some external objects. This level is actually Tianxiang Valley's test of us. , Don’t be careless when dealing with dangerous situations!”
"Yes, Brother Hua, if you are careless here, you will lose more than you gain. And a mere water element pearl is nothing to Brother Zeng. You don't have to be too unconventional." A young man also said. .
Xu Que still waved his hand: "It's really no need, I can break this great fire formation with just one move!"
“…”
Everyone suddenly twitched their mouths and were speechless.
This is Tianxiang Valley's great fire formation. You actually said it could be destroyed in one move? Are you kidding me? I've never seen anything like this...
Zeng Prosperity was also quite embarrassed. He could only smile reluctantly, took back the Shui Yuan Pearl, and stopped trying to persuade him.
The atmosphere in the scene suddenly cooled down, and the result of Xu Que's forced pretense was to end the topic.
However, he himself received a system prompt just now and earned dozens of points of pretense points.
Therefore, Xu Que is quite happy to take on this topic terminator role a few more times, because... pretense is like the wind, and is always with me!
