"Qingfeng Junior Brother, this is Drunken Immortal Cliff."
In front of a small mountain shrouded in mist, Shangguan Qian formed a hand seal, separating from her sword, and the other six also successively detached from their sword light, stopping beside the two.
"It's actually floating in the air!"
The small mountain named Drunken Immortal Cliff before his eyes was not rooted to the ground, but floated in the high altitude about two thousand meters from the ground, which made Li Chuan let out a cry of surprise.
Because according to Li Qingfeng's memory, Xiao Zhu Mountain was just a normal large mountain, except that a maze formation was set up at the mountain gate, making it difficult for mortals to enter.
This kind of sight, lifting an entire mountain to float in the air, was truly somewhat shocking.
His floating spell could make objects float, but floating a car and floating a mountain were completely incomparable.
"Generally, sects with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators will use the vajra mountain moving spell to move their cultivation mountain gate into the air, and then cover it with mist to conceal it.
Actually, Junior Brother, you haven't seen our Mount Emei; our Mount Emei is much larger than this Drunken Immortal Cliff, and it's not just one mountain, but several mountains, and even a sword mountain..."
Seeing Li Chuan's appearance as if he had never seen the World, Shangguan Qian immediately put her hands on her slender waist and proudly began to explain.
"Emei Sect is indeed worthy of being the greatest sect of the righteous path, it's truly amazing. If I, Junior Brother, have the chance to see it, it would truly not be in vain to come out for this training, and I can also show off to my Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers when I go back."
Hearing Shangguan Qian say that, Li Chuan immediately showed a look of curiosity and anticipation.
He was just worrying about how to go to Mount Emei legitimately, and now the opportunity had presented itself.
"That's too simple. After we finish subduing the demon, Junior Brother, you can come back to Mount Emei with us. At that time, I, Senior Sister, will take you to have a good look."
As expected, Shangguan Qian fell for it without even thinking.
Meanwhile, the leader Chu Yuxiang raised his hand, thought for a moment, and finally put it down again.
As the greatest sect of the righteous path, Mount Emei's spiritual energy was the most concentrated among all sects, so it was not just anyone who could enter.
However, Shangguan Qian had already agreed, and coupled with the fact that Li Chuan was also a disciple of the righteous path, and the kind of potential stock with exceptional talent, after returning and reporting to the sect leader, the sect leader should not refuse.
"Let's go find Lotus Fairy."
He took out a small flying sword the size of a palm from his waist, then injected magic power, and the flying sword immediately flew towards the north side of the small mountain in front.
"This flying sword is used by Lotus Fairy for sword messages. By following it, we can find Lotus Fairy. Remember to keep your flying movements small; there is also a Nine-Headed Serpent in this mountain, don't let it detect you."
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Seven streaks of sword light rose again, but this time they tried their best to restrain their sharpness, slowly entering the mountain following the small flying sword in front.
Soon, in a medicinal garden filled with various herbs on the northern mountainside of the small mountain, Li Chuan saw the Nascent Soul Stage Lotus Fairy.
Lotus Fairy appeared to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a clear and beautiful appearance, wearing a long gauze dress with a slight pink tint, and was currently carefully tending to the herbs in the medicinal garden.
"Yun Zhong Seven, greetings to Lotus Fairy!"
After Chu Yuxiang and the other seven landed, they bowed in unison towards Lotus Fairy.
Seeing this, Lotus Fairy's eyes immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise:
"No need for formalities. I finally waited for you seven... Hmm, who is this?"
With a sweep of her eyes, when she saw the eighth person, Li Chuan, a look of doubt appeared on her face again.
As a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, even if Li Chuan did not use his magic power, she could tell at a glance that Li Chuan was just a small Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, and the kind whose cultivation time was not very long.
"I am Li Qingfeng from Xiao Zhu Mountain. Today I coincidentally met the seven Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, and wished to broaden my horizons, so I traveled with them. Please forgive my sudden visit, Lotus Fairy."
Without waiting for Chu Yuxiang to explain, Li Chuan stepped forward and spoke.
Lotus Fairy nodded upon hearing this, not minding it:
"So you are a fellow Daoist from Xiao Zhu Mountain. What is the relationship between Qingzhu Daoist and you?"
"He is precisely my Master."
Li Chuan's expression froze. He hadn't expected this Lotus Fairy, a dignified nascent soul cultivator, to also know his Master.
"Your Master and I are also old acquaintances. After you go back, ask him to come here for a visit when he has time. We haven't seen each other for almost fifty years."
When Lotus Fairy heard that Li Chuan was Qingzhu Daoist's disciple, her tone softened, adding three parts of intimacy.
Evidently, her relationship with Daoist Qingzhu was quite good.
"Yes, Fairy, I will definitely convey the message when I return."
Li Chuan raised his hand and performed a Daoist salute.
Lotus Fairy nodded, then waved towards Yun Zhong Seven:
"Please, fellow Daoists, follow me into the house to discuss the matter of subduing the demon in detail."
Inside the wooden house behind the medicinal garden, Lotus Fairy, with a solemn expression, began to explain her plan.
"The location of the spiritual mushroom is at the peak of Drunken Immortal Cliff, where the spiritual energy is most concentrated. That place was occupied by the Nine-Headed Serpent three days ago. I am not its opponent, so I had to retreat back to the medicinal garden on the mountainside.
Tomorrow at precisely noon, it will be the time for the spiritual mushroom to take human form. The serpent will also swallow it after it takes form to increase its cultivation.
I am not good at combat. At that time, I need to use magic treasures as much as possible to protect the spiritual mushroom, lest it fail to take form. The task of subduing the demon will depend on you all."
These 'you all' naturally did not include Li Chuan, referring only to Yun Zhong Seven. In Lotus Fairy's eyes, Li Chuan was just a small Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who came to broaden his horizons, an existence that the serpent could kill with a single flick of its tail.
At that time, he could just find a position far away and watch.
"Fairy, please rest assured. You just protect the spiritual mushroom. We, the seven Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, will definitely make the Nine-Headed Serpent meet its demise!"
Chu Yuxiang guaranteed with a firm tone.
Although that Nine-Headed Serpent was not an ordinary demonic beast, it was only at the early Nascent Soul Stage. They, Yun Zhong Seven, had already defeated early Nascent Soul Stage cultivators when they were at the middle core formation stage.
Now they were all at the peak core formation stage. Not to mention the early Nascent Soul Stage, they had a high chance of winning against the middle Nascent Soul Stage as well.
That was why they were sent by Whitebrow True Person to slay the Nine-Headed Serpent.
Speaking of creatures like demons, in this World, whether plants or animals, all have the possibility of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth due to opportunities and thus becoming demons.
And after demons gain a certain level of intelligence, if they can be enlightened by cultivators and learn mystic school cultivation techniques, they will have the opportunity to take human form, just like Lotus Fairy was originally a spiritual lotus, enlightened by Drunken Daoren, and finally became the current Lotus Fairy.
In fact, most cultivators of the unorthodox and side paths have such origins; more than half of them are demons who have taken human form, which is why they are both righteous and evil.
And if a demonic creature has not been enlightened and still absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth according to its instincts, searches for and consumes various spiritual objects of heaven and earth, or slaughters other demons, eats their flesh and swallows their inner core, then it will maintain its demonic beast form and will not transform into a human shape.
Just like the Nine-Headed Serpent that occupied the mountain peak.
