Chapter 577: Test
The Old Heavenly Master helped Zhang Chulan up, very pityingly: "Good child,
you have suffered outside all these years. Don't be restrained in the Heavenly Master's Mansion; this is your home."
"Yes, Master."
Zhang Chulan stood up very obediently.
Zhang Jie knew at a glance that this guy's instinct to hug big thighs had flared up.
After comforting Zhang Chulan, the Old Heavenly Master looked at Feng Baobao, who had been standing silently behind Zhang Jie.
The moment he saw Feng Baobao, his pupils shrank, as if he had seen something incredible.
But in the blink of an eye, he returned to calm and asked Zhang Jie with a smile:
"A-Jie, why don't you introduce this young lady behind you to Master?"
The Old Heavenly Master's change was only in the blink of an eye, and no one else except Zhang Jie noticed it.
Zhang Jie didn't know if the Old Heavenly Master had seen Feng Baobao's uniqueness.
But he didn't care; anyway, after the subsequent development, Sister Baoer's identity couldn't be hidden.
Besides, with the Old Heavenly Master's status, position, and mainly character, he wouldn't be unfavorable to Feng Baobao.
Still the same sentence, longevity for the Heavenly Channel Daoist, the Old Heavenly Master, whose cultivation is heaven-reaching, is not far away.
Teacher Mi Er hinted many times in the manga that if it weren't for the restriction of the Heavenly Master Degree, the Old Heavenly Master would have already ascended in broad daylight.
Zhang Jie introduced with a smile: "Master, this is Feng Baobao, Sister Baoer, from our *Na Du Tong* North China branch."
"Old Heavenly Master, I am Feng Baobao, hello."
Feng Baobao heard the Old Heavenly Master talking about her, so she stepped forward to him and extended her right hand.
"Hello."
The Old Heavenly Master also followed the trend of the times and reached out to shake hands with her.
"The old man still has some old friends to entertain; you guys go to the back mountain first."
"Goodbye, Old Heavenly Master."
"Goodbye, Master."
Bidding farewell to the Old Heavenly Master, Zhang Jie and the others stepped onto the road to the back mountain of Long Hu Mountain.
Extraordinary people are aliens hidden in the crowd, and the company has agreements with various forces in the Extraordinary world;
Extraordinary people are not allowed to display their abilities in front of ordinary people at will. The Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao, a conference attended entirely by Extraordinary people,
naturally could not be held in the front mountain of Long Hu Mountain, where people come and go.
In the back mountain of Long Hu Mountain, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, with thorns and weeds growing everywhere.
"Brother Jie, the back mountain of Long Hu Mountain is so desolate."
Zhang Chulan looked up and looked into the distance, only to see desolation in his eyes, not a single person, and couldn't help but sigh.
"If there were buildings and roads in the back mountain, how could the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao be held?"
Zhang Jie looked at Zhang Chulan with the eyes of looking at an idiot.
"Brother Jie is right."
Zhang Chulan, who just reacted, smiled awkwardly.
Those ubiquitous backpackers, even daring to go to undeveloped wasteland for hiking and sightseeing,
if Long Hu Mountain were developed, it would likely become another place for them to conquer and check in.
Even if the Daoist masters of Long Hu Mountain had the ability to stop them, they would be annoyed, right?
It would be better to let it remain original and block them with the power of nature.
But this little difficulty obviously couldn't stop Zhang Jie and the others who possessed extraordinary techniques,
and Zhang Chulan very consciously took on the role of the pioneer, walking toward the depths of the back mountain.
After walking several kilometers, it suddenly opened up, and a not-so-small grassland appeared in front.
Behind the grassland was a rift valley that couldn't be seen to the bottom, like a scar on the earth.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered here, men and women, some indifferent, some excited,
but judging from the True Qi fluctuations faintly emanating from them, they were clearly not ordinary people.
"This is?"
Zhang Chulan was a bit confused.
This was clearly not the venue for the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao; what were these people gathered here for?
"Hmm."
Zhang Jie raised his head, and Zhang Chulan looked in that direction; a Daoist wearing a Daoist robe,
with a gentle face, was standing on the edge of the cliff.
"Everyone, everyone, please listen to the little Daoist."
The Daoist's smile was like a Maitreya Buddha, and he spoke slightly, without much movement,
but his voice suppressed the noisy conversations and discussions of many Extraordinary people; one look and you knew he had extraordinary cultivation.
The Daoist bowed to the crowd in all directions:
"You are all here to participate in the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao on my Long Hu Mountain; the little Daoist thanks you for your presence."
"Daoist, you are too polite."
"We are also honored to be able to participate in the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao."
Since you don't hit a smiling person, the Daoist was so polite,
the Extraordinary people naturally wouldn't have cold faces, and the polite responses came one after another.
"However."
The Daoist's expression became serious, and his tone changed:
"Although any Extraordinary person can participate in the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao, to avoid friends having accidents above,
my Heavenly Master's Mansion has specially set up a small test here; only friends who pass can officially participate in the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao."
The Daoist's words were polite, but who couldn't understand the subtext?
This was to filter out those who had no ability and wanted to fish in troubled waters or make up the numbers.
"This is natural."
"This is as it should be."
Regarding this, none of the Extraordinary people present had any objections.
Among Extraordinary people, in the end, one has to speak with strength.
If you can't even withstand the small test at the beginning, don't humiliate yourself at the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao.
Besides, those who dare to come to participate in the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao, which one doesn't have two brushes and confidence in themselves?
It's just a small test, not worth mentioning!
"Okay."
"Everyone, please look, this cliff behind the little Daoist, there is an iron chain here, leading directly to the opposite bank.
Everyone just needs to reach the opposite bank; whether it's walking on the chain or using other means to get over, it counts as passing the test.
On the opposite bank, there will be my senior and junior brothers from the Heavenly Master's Mansion leading everyone who passed the test to the venue where the Luo Tian Luotian Da Jiao is held."
Behind the Daoist, an iron chain as thick as a bowl wound like a giant python until the opposite bank.
"Watch me!"
Just as the Daoist finished speaking, a young man with a red mohawk and non-mainstream attire jumped out from the crowd.
"Hah!"
He stepped heavily on the ground, and with the help of the reaction force, his whole body flew out like a cannonball, heading straight for the opposite bank.
After drawing a parabola in the air, he landed easily on the opposite bank.
"Done!"
He waved at this side quite proudly.
"Hmph, just a barbarian who only practices the body!"
An Extraordinary person was a bit unhappy with his show-off appearance and took out a brush as thick as a child's nose,
waving and splashing ink in the air, depicting a crane in a few strokes.
"Li!"
The crane manifested, with white feathers and hook-like sharp claws.
If it weren't for the ink floating on the edges of the feathers, it would simply be a living crane.
The brush-holding Extraordinary person jumped onto the crane's back, and the crane spread its wings, carrying him away gracefully.
The sleeves were fluttering, just like an immortal.
"This is the method of an immortal."
Looking at this scene, the envy on Zhang Chulan's face was about to become substantial.
"Is this Divine Painting?"
Zhang Jie was thinking about what ability this brush-holding Extraordinary person used.
"Divine Painting" is the ancestral unique skill of the Wang family, one of the Four Great Families of the Extraordinary world,
belonging to one of the two major painting and calligraphy schools in the Extraordinary world (the other is the declined "Secret Painting").
This is an extraordinary technique based on painting, the core of which lies in influencing or even changing reality through special brushes,
ink, and painting content; its ability concept is very powerful,
and can even achieve a dimensionality-reduction strike, which is a very powerful extraordinary technique. ===== CHAPTER 578 =====
