Two days later.
At the foot of a mountain sixty miles outside of Chuannan Prefecture, people and horses crowded the area. As one of the most prominent Sects in Zouchuan Dao nowadays, countless people queued daily hoping to become disciples.
These people were of all kinds: some were parents bringing their young children, staying for years, and there were young talents with minor fame in Jianghu who traveled long distances hoping to learn the arts.
In fact, because there were so many people seeking discipleship every day, a gathering place comparable to a small county had already formed at the foot of the mountain.
Xu Guang even saw some people doing the early job of queuing up for others.
Indeed, the world never lacks clever people; the ways to make money that people could think of in past lives, someone naturally thinks of in this life too.
Jiufeng Mountain establishing its Sect was naturally pleased to see this happening.
Almost daily, there would be people passing the tests and becoming disciples.
This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for many Jianghu Martial Artists who searched for resources everywhere and struggled to have a steady meal.
The registration point at the foot of the mountain saw a long queue winding several circles.
It was currently noon, but the winter in Zouchuan Dao was not warm.
The crowd's eyes fell on the gigantic beast, and beneath it, two people were walking.
They were Tang Yuming and Xu Guang.
At the end of the queue, an elderly man in a white robe with his hair tied up, accompanied by a few young disciples, walked towards them.
The elder saw Xu Guang, but his eyes showed no emotion, instead, his gaze lingered on General Wei for a long time.
"This must be the famous Elephant Master of Jianghu? Great Beast, indeed extraordinary."
Yeah, here's another one who doesn't think much of Xu Guang, only feeling that Xu Guang's success today is all due to General Wei's efforts.
Xu Guang actually enjoyed seeing this situation.
"Greetings, Jiufeng Mountain Zhenren."
"Unworthy of being called Zhenren, just an Outer Elder." The elder showed a bit of pride, gently stroking his long beard.
Then he slightly nodded at Tang Yuming as a sign.
Though Jiufeng Mountain was strong, not everyone could casually reach the level of Innate.
Innate Experts also ranked among the top in the Inner Sect disciples of Jiufeng Mountain.
He naturally knew Tang Yuming, the outstanding disciple of this generation from the Wanhua Institute.
"Junior Brother Tang."
"Greetings, Brother Niu. Brother Xu wishes to visit my master, so we won't disturb Brother Niu."
Knowing the intention of Xu Guang and being led by Tang Yuming, the elderly man in the white robe no longer blocked them and gave a slight nod, "Both of you, proceed with ease. Qingfeng, guide them."
"Yes!"
A young man stepped out from the crowd, giving Tang Yuming a flattering smile, then led the way upfront.
As he was guiding, Xu Guang realized that this Qingfeng was actually currying favor with Tang Yuming all the way.
He thought deeply.
The guiding was a guise, building connections was real.
Seeing the white-robed elder before, he thought he was a just and upright person, but didn't expect this side.
He didn't believe this was Qingfeng's intention alone.
Even in the Sect, you need emotional intelligence.
The bigger the mountain gate, the deeper the waters.
Soon, as they reached the mountainside, the scenery changed suddenly.
Xu Guang looked at everything in the distance with amazement.
Nine mountain peaks stood amidst the clouds, connected by chains of iron bridges, shrouded in mist and clouds, just like a paradise on earth.
Cranes were flying among the clouds, colorful butterflies flapped their wings, and on the iron chain bridges, figures in white robes moved as if it's normal.
Tang Yuming pointed to a mountain peak ahead to the right and said in a low voice, "Brother Xu, over there is Wanhua Mountain where the Wanhua Institute is located, your Great Beast..."
Although the iron chain bridge was sturdy, it was suspended mid-air, and Great Beasts like General Wei didn't like the feeling of being off the ground.
He worried it might go berserk on the bridge.
Xu Guang understood what he meant, but he naturally wouldn't separate from General Wei, after all, this was his first time here, leaving General Wei alone might invite trouble.
Not that someone from Jiufeng Mountain would harm General Wei.
Just like in the previous life leaving a luxury car casually on the roadside, if it got scratched or a naughty kid removed the emblem, wouldn't it be distressing and uncomfortable?
"It's fine."
Hearing Xu Guang speak, Tang Yuming said no more, nodded, and led people onto the suspension bridge.
This suspension bridge, though connected with iron chains, was nine meters wide. Perhaps for allowing disciples to Cultivate Lightweight Skill, it had no floating planks, merely connected with iron chains.
A creature's instinct is hard to overcome; General Wei seldom showed a trace of fear; as soon as it got on the bridge, its Heart Spirit tautened.
Xu Guang felt that their Spiritual Link with General Wei suddenly became heavier, like being hugged by someone.
He found it amusing and used [Encourage].
Its condition improved greatly.
Thus, many Jiufeng Mountain disciples passing the cableway saw an enormous beast crossing the suspension bridge with an exceptionally steady posture.
...
"Is that the Elephant Master?"
"Is that the Kunlun Beast? Indeed mighty!"
"I heard that the Elephant Master and Senior Sister Shen from the Sword Seal Institute have a close relationship, but why is it heading towards the Wanhua Institute?"
"The one accompanying is Senior Brother Tang, right?"
The disciples excitedly discussed, most of whom were Outer Disciples.
Some honed their Lightweight Skill on the cableway while others ran errands for the seniors in the institute, so they eagerly watched the excitement. Though meeting for the first time, many developed a vague sense of General Wei's power just by its size.
No wonder rumors said the Elephant Master could cut down Innate, with such a fierce beast, slaying Innate was truly nothing.
...
The cableway stretched three miles, after all, it connected two peaks.
The plaque of the Wanhua Institute looked like the South Celestial Gate, looming in the clouds, the few massive red characters strikingly eye-catching.
