Li Jinzhi struggled to free his hand, and his back tensed up slightly. "Then why are you still holding my hand?"

Ye Cheng took the jade slip, turned around, and asked innocently, "Don't we have to gather the spiritual aura in one place to merge the flight lights?

That's what we used to do. "

"…" Li Jinzhi facepalmed. In the past, they had held hands, but that was also for convenience. Normally, when cultivators gathered spiritual energy, they would need to use a type of technique. Moreover, the spiritual energy was far less convenient than directly gathering spiritual energy through meridians. However, this method of directly connecting meridians was rarely used by cultivators.

After all, no one was willing to entrust their life to another person.

However, no matter how convenient it was, it was in the past. Ever since he found out that Ye Cheng had feelings for him, his impression of Ye Cheng had changed. Holding hands was strange no matter how he looked at it.

"Relax." Ye Cheng squeezed Li Jinzhi's palm. "Can't we get along like we did in the past?" His voice sounded a little lonely.

Li Jinzhi wanted to laugh when he heard this. Yes, no matter what, couldn't they get along like they did in the past?

Ye Cheng was still Ye Cheng. Why did he want to keep a distance from Ye Cheng just because of the awkwardness in his heart?

Didn't he already decide to give himself time to slowly adapt to the change in position?

Why did he have to worry about nothing now?

Ye Cheng felt the bones in his hand slowly relax, and his tightly pursed lips also relaxed slightly. "We've been flying for two days. After passing by three more cities, we'll reach the Thousand Sunset Sect in the Thousand Sunset Mountains."

Li Jinzhi's expression became serious. He threw away the distracting thoughts in his heart and began to think about the problem that he had been struggling with for a long time. "The book says that the Thousand-Year Bone-Forging Milk is produced by a ten-thousand-year stalactite tree between the three major sects. It's guarded by the late-stage Yuanying disciples of the three major sects, but it's only awarded to the top three winners in the sect competition."

"Hmm?" Ye Cheng knew that Li Jinzhi was speaking with a pause, so he definitely wanted to say more than that.

Li Jinzhi tilted his head and frowned slightly. "Only inner sect cultivators of the Foundation Establishment stage can participate in the competition between the three major sects."

Ye Cheng was stunned. He also frowned and pondered, "Why don't you set up a Golden Elixir and Yuanying competition?"

Li Jinzhi shook his head. "It wasn't mentioned in the booklet. I'm guessing it's probably because Yuanying is the pillar of the sect, the Golden Elixir is the foundation of the sect, and the Foundation Establishment stage is the new blood of the sect. In order to hone the selection process, this decision was made."

After a pause, he added, "This is just my guess. I really don't know the specifics."

Ye Cheng nodded and asked, "Then what should we do?

Don't tell me you're going to hide your cultivation and sneak in as a low-level disciple? "

Li Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and seriously thought about Ye Cheng's words. After a while, he nodded and said, "This method is not bad. It's decided.

In this way, if you directly enter the sect as a Yuanying, it will definitely disturb the internal balance of the sect. There will definitely be many forces that want to befriend you. If you want stability, you can't avoid joining a force. However, if you're involved in the power struggle between the sects, you won't be able to cultivate steadily. It's better to become an ordinary inner sect disciple and focus on cultivation.

Secondly, it's this Thousand-Year Bone-Forging Milk. "

Ye Cheng listened to the analysis and agreed. "Indeed, one Yuanying won't do much. If two suddenly enter, it will more or less affect the power balance of the upper echelons of the sect. When the time comes, we don't want to be entangled in trouble. We just want to find a place with strong spirit energy to cultivate."

Li Jinzhi heard this and a warm feeling flowed through his heart. When he got along with Ye Cheng, whether it was the decisions they made or the things they did, there were very few disagreements. They didn't even have a breaking-in period.

What if it was someone else?

Would they still be able to do this?

Just like now, with the other party leading the way and being vigilant of the environment, he could even let his mind wander and think about all this without the slightest scruple. If it was someone else, would he still entrust all his trust and his safety to them?

Probably not, right?

If he didn't take Ye Cheng's gender into consideration, the other party was simply a companion that was tailor-made for him.

Li Jinzhi had unknowingly withdrawn his psychological defenses to the bottom.

After flying for another day, the two finally arrived at their destination in the afternoon of the fourth day. It was a small town located at the edge of the Thousand Sunset Mountain Range. This small town was a subsidiary town of the Thousand Sunset Sect. They recruited disciples and purchased supplies here. Therefore, although it was called a small town, there were more cultivators coming and going than Huiyan City, and the scale was also larger.

Before entering the city, the two of them had suppressed their cultivation to the peak level of Foundation Establishment. However, because the two of them weren't human cultivators in the traditional sense, they naturally hadn't experienced Foundation Establishment before. It was just a pseudo Foundation Establishment, which was enough to deceive the spiritual testing array.

There was a restriction on flying in the town. Therefore, after entering the town, the two of them concealed their flying lights and changed to walking.

Walking in the Thousand Sunset Town, the cultivators coming and going were of different levels. There were many Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Elixir. However, they didn't see a single Yuanying.

After thinking about it carefully, it was clear that those who could cultivate to the Yuanying realm were powerful people if they were rogue cultivators. There was no need for them to join any sect. If they already had a sect, under the sect's nurturing, they would have already formed their own forces. It was even more impossible for them to join other sects.

Therefore, although there were many Yuanying cultivators in Green Flame Country, it was impossible to see them in a place like this.

The streets of the Thousand Sunset Town weren't narrow. Instead, they were very wide. However, such a road was still crowded with people. It was very crowded, and the crowd was moving in the same direction.

Ye Cheng walked in front of Li Jinzhi. Li Jinzhi was pushed by a cultivator behind him. He stumbled and fell on Ye Cheng's back, causing the person in front to turn around.

Li Jinzhi steadied himself. He frowned and transmitted his voice, "Why are there so many cultivators?

If this place was a vassal of a sect, there wouldn't be so many … "He had never seen so many cultivators crowded on the streets.

Ye Cheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at the cultivators behind Li Jinzhi. An undetectable killing intent flashed past his eyes. When he heard Li Jinzhi's transmission, his gaze softened. "Follow them and you'll know." He turned his body slightly, and seamlessly separated himself from Li Jinzhi.

They followed the crowd to the end. In the distance, they saw a towering mountain gate. The place where the crowd gathered was a majestic palace.

The palace had the words Lan Men Hall written on it.

The surrounding buildings were very short. This majestic palace was placed here, and it looked very out of place. It was as if it had been placed there by force.

The crowd surged into the palace. Li Jinzhi was slightly surprised. Although the palace wasn't big, there were a lot of people. It was far from what the palace could accommodate. However, it did.

When they entered the palace, everything in front of them suddenly changed. The palace didn't look very big from the outside, but it was shockingly big from the inside. They couldn't see the other end of the palace from afar, and the cultivators were still walking inside.

After Li Jinzhi entered, his face was full of realization. "This is it. So this is a palace formed by a Dharma artifact."

Ye Cheng nodded. "Indeed, there is this type of palace Dharma artifact. It can expand its space according to the number of cultivators entering."

When they reached the center of the palace, the group behind them also reached the end. After the palace gate slowly closed, an old voice sounded in the air.

"Ten Thousand Sunset Sect will officially recruit disciples tomorrow. Cultivators, please stand in the designated area according to your cultivation level and wait patiently."

When Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng heard this, they both looked at each other. No wonder!
