Avenue Stowaway

More than an hour later, Kong Fang and Sun Hao, who were sitting in the Xingyun Boat, could already see the mountain gate of Lanyangmen.

Lanyang Gate was built in the valley between two mountains, surrounded by green trees, mountain springs and waterfalls, and the environment was extremely quiet, making it a blessed place. At least it was much better than Qizong, which was full of fire power and had few plants on all the peaks.

The speed of the Xingyun Boat gradually slowed down and its flying altitude also decreased, and it finally landed a few hundred meters away from the mountain gate of Lanyangmen.

Outside the mountain gate, the four gatekeeper disciples breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Xingyun Boat land. One of the gatekeeper disciples slowly walked over.

Sun Hao and Kong Fang jumped out of the Xingyun Boat, only to see the silver Xingyun Boat shrink rapidly and then be put into Sun Hao's storage ring.

Kong Fang was somewhat tempted. This cloud boat was not only convenient for traveling, but also much safer when flying in the sky than on the ground. To be able to fly in the air, a cultivator had to reach the Ascension Realm. Cultivators who could reach the Ascension Realm generally knew about the Weapon Sect. They were afraid of it and would not easily attack the disciples of the Weapon Sect. However, it was hard to say for people at a lower realm. Those people would do anything for treasures and to practice their skills.

Kong Fang needs to accumulate 10,000 contribution points to exchange for the Five-Polarity Differentiation Mirror. He will have to do a lot of tasks in the future, so it is indeed more convenient to have a tool to travel with. If he goes to Lingbao Hall to rent it for every task, the contribution points he spends will not be too little over time.

"Are you two from the Qi Sect?" asked the gatekeeper disciple who came closer.

Kong Fang was about to speak, but saw Sun Hao took out his soul talisman from the storage ring and threw it to the gatekeeper disciple. Kong Fang could not help but swallow the words that were already in his throat. He could only take out his own soul talisman and throw it to the gatekeeper disciple as well.

Looking at Kong Fang's slightly ugly face due to trying to hold back words, Sun Hao's mouth twitched a few times as he forced himself to suppress a smile.

"What a petty senior brother." Kong Fang looked up at the sky speechlessly. He had teased Sun Hao several times before, but he didn't expect that retribution would come now.

The gatekeeper disciple carefully checked the soul symbols of Kong Fang and Sun Hao, and after confirming their identities, he completely relaxed.

"Please follow me." After the gatekeeper disciple returned the soul talisman to Kong Fang and Sun Hao, he turned around and led the way.

Kong Fang and Sun Hao followed behind.

When entering the mountain gate, Kong Fang keenly discovered that there were many powerful formations arranged around. The power fluctuations emitted by these formations made Kong Fang feel uneasy. Kong Fang guessed that if someone rashly broke into Lan Yang Gate from somewhere other than the mountain gate, they would definitely be destroyed by these formations without leaving any trace.

Kong Fang and Sun Hao followed the gatekeepers and walked deeper into the Lanyang Gate. Along the way, some Lanyang Gate disciples saw Kong Fang and Sun Hao and couldn't help but stop and look at them strangely.

Sun Hao looked straight ahead, but Kong Fang was looking around all the way, taking in the unique scenery of Lan Yang Gate.

Ten minutes later, the gatekeeper disciple brought Kong Fang and Sun Hao to a small courtyard.

"Please wait a moment, both of you." The gatekeeper disciple said and turned to enter the courtyard.

After the gatekeeper disappeared in the courtyard, Sun Hao broke his silence and said with a smile, "Brother, what do you think of the scenery of Lanyang Gate? I see you have been watching it all the way."

Kong Fang looked at Sun Hao in surprise and said, "So, senior brother, you can speak. I was worried all the way here, thinking that you suddenly couldn't speak. I was thinking of asking the elders for some elixirs to cure your illness after returning to Qi Sect." Kong Fang said seriously.

The smile on Sun Hao's face froze, but he immediately realized that this was Kong Fang's revenge for him deliberately making fun of himself outside the mountain gate.

The two immediately started a verbal fight, but Sun Hao was no match for Kong Fang, who had been influenced by the information explosion of the 21st century, and was quickly defeated. At this time, footsteps came from the courtyard and helped Sun Hao out of the siege.

Kong Fang stopped talking, but there was a hint of a victorious smile on his face.

Sun Hao secretly curled his lips, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Soon, four people walked out of the courtyard. In addition to the gatekeeper disciple who entered at the beginning, the other three were an old man with white hair and beard, a young man with narrow eyes and a somewhat cold gaze, and a young and beautiful woman in aqua green clothes.

Both the young man and the woman looked at Kong Fang and Sun Hao with some curiosity, but there was a hint of scrutiny in the young man's eyes, which made Kong Fang feel a little uncomfortable.

"My name is Jin Jiu. I believe you two are the disciples of the Qi Sect who are here to receive the mission, right?" The old man stroked his beard and said with a faint smile.

"Greetings, Senior Jin. I don't deserve the title of senior disciple. I am Sun Hao, a disciple of Huoyun Hall, and this is my junior fellow apprentice Kong Fang." Sun Hao bowed slightly.

Kong Fang also followed suit. Although they came from a more powerful Qi Sect, the other party was also a senior strong man after all, so some etiquette still had to be followed.

Jin Jiu smiled and nodded, and then introduced the young man and the woman beside him to Kong Fang and Sun Hao. However, Kong Fang only remembered that the man was called Wei Shou and the woman was called Zhao Binglan, and he ignored what the old man said.

Sun Hao said: "We are here for the mission issued by your sect. I hope Senior Jin can take us to select materials as soon as possible."

"Well, both of you follow me." Jin Jiu led Sun Hao and Kong Fang into the courtyard again. The young guard looked at the backs of Kong Fang and Sun Hao, lowered his voice and said to Zhao Binglan beside him: "Junior sister, I don't think these two people are capable of refining acquired spiritual treasures. I don't think they can even refine quasi-spiritual treasures. They look too young. Do you think they came to our Lan Yang Sect on purpose and planned to practice with the materials we provided?"

Zhao Binglan was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Brother, what you said makes sense. A year ago, there was also a disciple from the inner hall of the Qi Sect who came to our Lanyang Sect to refine acquired spiritual treasures, but that person was at least in his thirties. Even so, that person refined four low-grade acquired spiritual treasures, two of which were even ruined and only reached the level of quasi-spiritual treasures, which directly wasted half of our materials."

"Looking at the appearance of these two people, there is a high possibility that they are practicing with our materials. Especially the one named Kong Fang, he didn't say a word from beginning to end. If it wasn't for the one named Sun Hao introducing that the man was his junior fellow apprentice, I would have thought he was his follower." Wei Shou narrowed his narrow eyes slightly, and the whole person looked even more gloomy.

“Let’s go and take a look. If the first weapon they refine fails, we will persuade Uncle Jin to let these two people go back to the Weapon Sect directly. We would rather wait for others to refine acquired spiritual treasures than let these two people practice with the materials we collected.” Zhao Binglan frowned and snorted coldly.

"Just listen to what Junior Sister says." Wei Shou's expression was a little cold.

With Jin Jiu's strength, he could easily hear what Wei Shou and Zhao Binglan said, but he did not send a message to stop them. In recent years, there have been many disciples from the inner hall of the weapon sect who have come to their Lanyang Sect to refine treasures, but everyone will waste their materials. Those with strong refining ability are better, only wasting a small part of the materials, but those with poor refining ability will waste more than half of the materials.

Seeing that the two young inner hall disciples came this time, Jin Jiu was also very suspicious about how much materials they would waste to complete this task. If the wasted materials were too much, Jin Jiu had already made the plan to send the two back to Qi Zong.

Jin Jiu, who was walking in front, casually glanced at Sun Hao and Kong Fang who were following behind him. Sun Hao looked calm and didn't hear what Wei Shou and Zhao Binglan said. But what surprised Jin Jiu was that the other person actually frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

"This person is Sun Hao's junior brother. Sun Hao didn't hear what Lan'er and the others said. Could he have heard it?" Jin Jiu was surprised.
