Chapter 400: Entering Wanbao Academy
Chapter 400: Entering Wanbao Academy
The Longevity Fountain Water is also an extremely rare item that can increase one's lifespan. However, after the spiritual energy is exhausted, it will begin to evaporate and dissipate, and will completely dry up within a year.
Li Changxiao asked Zhang Mo to turn the spring over to see if there were any good things hidden underneath. Zhang Mo nodded in agreement, took a step forward, and displayed her divine power, turning the entire Changsheng Spring over in a few strokes.
Unfortunately, there was no immortal spring water left. The crowd had no choice but to return to the messy jungle and continue to move towards Wanbao Academy.
After walking for several days, we finally passed through the jungle and came to a square with 42 stone pillars. The square looked small from the outside, but when we stepped into it, we found it was ridiculously large.
People are like ants. Without this towering stone pillar, it would be difficult for them to figure out their location relying solely on their own senses.
Under Li Changxiao's leadership, they walked around the square for several days, which drove Zhao Qiu crazy. There was nothing else in the square except the stone pillars. It was dark at night and white during the day. It was boring and more uncomfortable than asking her to climb a cliff.
Zhang Mo often scolded her for being impatient. In comparison, Wang Huang was much better. This was normal. Zhao Qiu had a life of luxury and had not suffered much. Wang Huang's growth experience was quite bumpy.
Finally, after leaving the square, Wanbao Academy is right in front of us. We can enter by climbing 90,000 stone steps.
Upon hearing the news, not only Zhao Qiu Wang was shaken, even Zhang Mo's face turned pale. How could it be so far away?
It doesn't look far, but each link is so large that it is unimaginable. The distance traveled along the way can span some countries.
Li Changxiao looked at the complaining people with a smile. This is the characteristic of Eryuan Sect's architecture. This kind of architectural layout feature is called "This World".
It doesn't look like that from a distance, but once you enter it you feel like you have stepped into a new world.
If we go back to ancient times, the buildings will resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the range will be even larger. Li Changxiao comforted a few people and began to climb the stairs.
Climbing this ladder is also very tiring. On the first day, the four people only climbed 10,000 steps, and three of them were sweating profusely. Zhang Mo was no easier than Zhao Qiu and the others. Her forehead, back and armpits were all covered with sweat, soaking her clothes.
This ladder is called the Pilgrimage Ladder. The stronger the person is, the more tiring it is to walk on it. This characteristic also becomes commonplace, causing the three people except Li Changxiao to become extremely exhausted.
Zhang Mo's legs were trembling slightly. She had never been so tired in her life. The key point was that she was only halfway up the mountain. Even if she wanted to rest, she couldn't lie down. She had to lean against the stone steps to sleep.
Wang Huang exclaimed, after all this time, he realized that he was most comfortable in that messy jungle, where he could drink dew and bathe in dew every day.
As soon as this was said, it was immediately agreed by the two. Zhang Mo still had some doubts in her heart, so after a short rest, she started to climb again.
Unexpectedly, he could not climb any further after climbing to the 13,000th step. Sweat poured down his body, and the loose-fitting robe stuck to his skin, revealing his proud figure.
Zhao Qiu was in a better condition, but still almost the same. She covered Wang Huang's eyes with a black cloth. Wang Huang shouted that it was unfair to miss such a beautiful view.
As for Li Changxiao, what Zhang Mo said was right. Although he didn't peek, if the time was right, he really wouldn't mind admiring it.
"Do you want me to help you blow dry?" Li Changxiao asked half-jokingly. His Fuhua Qingfeng is more effective than daily washing.
Zhang Mo was quite annoyed. The pilgrimage ladder said that the stronger one was, the more tiring it would be to climb. But why was Li Changxiao so relaxed while she was the only one who was extremely tired?
"I know you have great skills, so you should save some of your spiritual energy." Zhang Mo rolled her eyes at him, but was thinking from Li Changxiao's perspective.
Having said that, Li Changxiao's mind moved, and the breeze in the air became a little warmer and drier. Under this wind, the clothes dried easily.
By the time he reached the 20,000th step, Wang Huang had taken off most of his clothes, revealing his solid muscles. He even thought about shaving his hair to lose as much weight as possible.
Zhao Qiu suppressed this idea because she had finally come to like Wang Huang's appearance.
She was not happy about the shaved head. Li Changxiao looked at the two of them with a teasing smile on his lips. He did not interrupt or say anything, just observed quietly.
This was both hardship and gain for the three of them, especially Zhang Mo. At her level, it was difficult for her to gain any training.
Climbing a mountain takes only a few seconds, but climbing the pilgrimage ladder, exerting effort and sweating, further strengthens the muscles, bones and membranes.
They rested there for a night and continued on their way when they had almost recovered.
That day, they did make some progress and climbed more than 13,000 steps, from early morning to sunset.
Wang Huang, needless to say, had long been at ease with his clothes being exposed. He was not afraid of exposing himself. But the clothes of the two girls were soaked from the inside to the outside, as if they had been caught in a heavy rain.
This made the two girls look at the leisurely figure in white not far away, and they began to envy the monk's characteristics of not sweating and not being stained by dust.
A warrior does not seek to be as powerful as a cultivator...if he can be spotless and dust-free, he will be satisfied.
Zhang Mo had a goal in mind. She liked cleanliness, but it was not clean at the moment. If she had not had some concerns, she would have done the same as Wang Huang, throwing away the burden and doing it calmly.
During the break, she took off her boots and sweat poured out. Wang Huang laughed and said that it seemed that Elder Zhang Mo, no matter how powerful her martial arts skills were, was just an ordinary person. As he spoke, he also took off his boots and poured out sweat, as if he had finally discovered something in common between them, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Do you really think of me as a fairy?" Zhang Mo shook her head and laughed, and simply replied that she could not bear this burden.
Li Changxiao cheered on the side, asking Zhao Qiu and Wang Huang to take a closer look. Once you get out of the ruins, there won't be many things that can make Elder Zhang Mo so embarrassed.
As he said this, he looked at Wei Jing first. His eyes did not show any mockery, but rather a slightly smiling observation. Zhang Mo was speechless for a moment. Li Changxiao's strange behavior was actually nothing. The only thing that annoyed her was that he had a bad taste for watching others in a mess.
It was the same when the pollen was in the forest, and it is still the same now.
……
Although this pilgrimage ladder is tiring to climb, it will eventually reach the end.
It took about a week.
The four finally arrived at the main gate of Wanbao Academy.
