Chapter 11 Yellow Maple Valley

Lu Wenlong saw that Yun Hao seemed to have thought of something. This kid has good aptitude. If he helps me collect the main medicine, the chances should be great. If he can help him improve his cultivation, the chances will be even greater. So he said.

"Boy, it's fine for you to join the Huangfeng Valley through me, but you have to promise to do one thing for me, only then will I agree to take you into my Huangfeng Valley. You should know that my Huangfeng Valley does not accept everyone. Even if you want to join the Huangfeng Valley, I will have to spend a disciple recommendation quota. As for whether I agree or not, it's up to you."

Yun Hao secretly cried out that he was unlucky. He didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing before he even joined the Huangfeng Valley. However, he still forced a smile and said, "May I ask what the matter is, senior? If it is beyond my ability, I am afraid that I will mess things up for you."

"It's okay to tell you. In about three years, our seven sects' Bloody Trial, which is held every five years, will begin. I need you to help me go to the forbidden area and pick a spiritual medicine. This is not entirely without benefit to you. You know, if you collect enough spiritual medicines, you can get Foundation Establishment Pills," Lu Wenlong explained to Yun Hao.

Yun Hao frowned upon hearing this, thought for a moment and said, "May I ask, Senior, is this forbidden area dangerous?"

When Lu Wenlong heard this, he scolded Yun Hao in a bad mood and said, "Boy, what are you dreaming about? Trials are about survival of the fittest. We cultivators must take a step forward to live and take a step back to die. As a cultivator, you must compete with people, with the heavens, and with fate. If you don't even have the courage to fight, then what's the point of cultivating immortals?"

Yun Hao ignored the empty talk. If there was no practical benefit, he wouldn't care about the trial or not.

"Senior, my cultivation is too shallow to take on this important task. Please find someone else." Yun Hao resolutely rejected Lu Wenlong's offer.

"Boy, don't be ungrateful. Besides, there are still more than three years left. If I support you with all my strength, you still have hope of reaching the peak of Qi training. By then, I will lend you two powerful magic weapons and talismans, and I will be able to ensure your life," Lu Wenlong said half seriously and half threateningly.

"If that's the case, I agree. But I'd like to make it clear in advance that if you're unwilling to lend me the magic weapon, then the matter will be dropped. After all, I have the aptitude of two spiritual roots. As long as I have one foundation-building pill, there's still a great hope of building a foundation. So I don't want to take any risks, and I hope you can understand." Yun Hao said earnestly.

Lu Wenlong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I always keep my word and will do what I promised you."

"Then I would like to thank you, senior," Yun Hao said as he bowed again.

"Okay, boy Yun, now that it's settled, I will take you to the Huangfeng Valley to meet the Sect Leader. You are slow, so let me take you a ride." After saying that, Lu Wenlong released a top-grade flying knife magic weapon, and holding Yun Hao in one hand, flew towards the Huangfeng Valley mountain gate.

Two quarters of an hour later, Yun Hao followed Lu Wenlong to the Huangfeng Valley, one of the seven major sects. The Huangfeng Valley has been operating here for thousands of years. There are many towers and palaces. It is said that there are tens of thousands of disciples in the Huangmen sect of the Huangfeng Valley. You can imagine how big it is. The entire central part of the Taiyue Mountains is shrouded by the Huangfeng Valley's sect-suppressing formation, but it has not been activated.

Lu Wenlong brought Yun Hao to the master's hall and saw the two disciples guarding the door and said, "Go and inform the master that Lu Wenlong wants to see him."

"Yes, Uncle Lu," said the two disciples who were on guard, clasping their fists and bowing.

Then a disciple went in to report.

After a while, a middle-aged man with three long beard came out, saying as he walked, "The wind today blew Junior Brother Lu here."

This person's name is: Zhong Lingdao, and he is the current head of the Huangfeng Valley. He is highly respected in the sect. In addition, he is calm by nature and his cultivation is in the late stage of foundation building. Therefore, he was elected as the head of this generation.

"Master, you are joking. I am here today to recommend one of my nephews to join our Huangfeng Valley. I am not bragging, but this nephew of mine has quite good aptitude and there is hope for him to even build a foundation."

"Oh! Junior brother, are you talking about the kid behind you?" Zhong Lingdao took a quick look with his spiritual sense and was shocked. He had reached the tenth level of Qi training at such a young age. It seemed that he had extraordinary talent.

"At such a young age, he has already achieved extraordinary cultivation. Just as my junior brother said, he is extremely talented. I wonder how many spiritual roots your nephews have. Let's test them," Zhong Lingdao said again.

"Brother, there is no need to test. I have tested him before he came. He has spiritual roots with the attributes of water and fire," Lu Wenlong said after hearing this.

"Let's just go through the process. After all, it's my responsibility as a senior brother," said the headmaster Zhong Lingdao. "That's fine too. Yunhao, come here and let the headmaster test your spiritual root aptitude," Lu Wenlong responded.

Zhong Lingdao took out a spirit-testing stone and handed it to Yun Hao.

Yun Hao had tested it before at Lu Wenlong's place, so he knew how to use it. He just silently activated his magic power, and in an instant, the spirit stone lit up with two rays of light, one red and one blue, just like before.

"Okay, my dear nephew, you are now admitted to my Huangfeng Valley." After saying this, Zhong Ling took out a token-shaped magic weapon from his storage bag and handed it to Yun Hao. He also took out a booklet with relevant information about Yun Hao written on it.

Upon seeing this, Lu Wenlong clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master Brother, for your leniency."

After receiving the token, Yun Hao also hurriedly followed suit and bowed, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Master."

Zhong Lingdao waved his hand and said to Yun Hao, "You should just practice well."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Lu Wenlong took Yun Hao out of the master's hall, and flew with Yun Hao for another hour to the place where new disciples received their magic weapons.

"Open the door, Junior Brother Lin, my nephew has just joined our Huangfeng Valley. I brought him here to pick up his things." Lu Wenlong knocked on the door of a room.

The door opened with a "whoosh", Lu Wenlong took the lead and walked in, followed by Yun Hao.

When I walked into the room, I saw that it was in a mess. There were only some swords, axes, halberds, hooks and spears hanging on the wall, and some piled up in the corners. The only word to describe it is a mess. However, these weapons all have spiritual energy, and some of them seem to be full of spiritual energy.

There was an octagonal table in the middle of the room, behind which sat an old man with disheveled hair, who was reading a book introducing mechanical puppets with great interest.

Lu Wenlong knew the old man's strange temper, so he didn't disturb him. He just walked up and sat on the chair and waited quietly.

After a long while, the old man finished reading the book in his hand and looked at Lu Wenlong, "Brother Lu, how come you have time to visit my humble home today?"

Lu Wenlong curled his lips and said: "My nephew has come to my Huangfeng Valley. I will take him to get acquainted with it."

"Oh, it's not yet the time for new disciples to join. It seems that Senior Brother Lu has made an exception," said Elder Lin, glancing at Yun Hao.

Lu Wenlong didn't respond, just taking it as his agreement.

The old man yawned, lazily took out some things and put them on the table, saying, "For new disciples, you will get a ten-fold storage bag, a yellow silk shirt, a green leaf magic weapon, a sword, a sword, etc...."

These magic weapons are all low-level magic weapons. Even with the wealth of Huangfeng Valley, it is impossible to equip all of its disciples with high-level magic weapons. This is not only true for Huangfeng Valley, but also for the seven sects of Yue Kingdom.

After giving the things, the old man surnamed Lin said, "You two, I am a little tired, so I will not keep you any longer." After saying that, he picked up the teacup on the Eight Immortals Table, as if to serve tea to the guests.
