Chapter 1 Hongyun Mountain

Hongyun Mountain is a large mountain in the Lu River area, with dense forests. In autumn, the entire mountain turns red, resembling layers of golden-red霞clouds, hence the name "Hongyun" (Red Cloud).

Two or three years ago, a group of people took a fancy to this place and gathered here, growing to six leaders and two to three thousand lackeys.

Although the mountain stronghold is not large, it has two passes. The terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, because the stronghold acts with restraint, it has not been suppressed by government troops so far.

Zhou Jing and others concealed their tracks all the way, hurrying and rushing, and finally arrived at their destination.

Back at the base camp, Li Chun and the other two obviously relaxed a lot. They skillfully summoned sentry lackeys and led Zhou Jing and others up the mountain.

Before long, the group passed through two passes and arrived at the gate of the stronghold.

The three leaders guarding the stronghold received a message from the lackeys and waited early at the gate.

A man with a big beard came up to greet them, cupping his fists in a salute, his tone warm:

"Haha, why did I hear magpies chirping loudly today? It turns out we have distinguished guests."

Li Chun introduced the man to Zhou Jing and the others, "This is the leader of Hongyun Mountain, 'Through-the-Forest Tiger' Yu Feng."

Zhou Jing, Guo Haishen, and Fang Zhen all saluted, "Greetings, Leader Yu."

As guests from afar, they naturally had to give the host some face.

Yu Feng laughed and said happily:

"I have long heard of the famous Iron Arm Azure Dragon and Mountain-Flipping Tai Sui, like thunder piercing my ears. It is a great honor to meet you today! This Life-Snatching Yama Chen brother is also a tall and stalwart man. It is obvious that he is extraordinary. It is truly an honor for our stronghold to have three heroes join us today!"

He misunderstood. Hearing the lackeys' report, he thought the three were coming to join the stronghold. He was greatly surprised to see Guo Haishen, not expecting such a big name in the martial world to come and join him. He felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky, making him dizzy.

Because Zhou Jing and his party had not delayed on the road, their deeds in the prefecture had not yet reached the mountain.

Therefore, Yu Feng didn't know much about Zhou Jing at this time. He muttered to himself that he hadn't heard of this person. He just flattered him according to the rules of the martial world, thinking that Guo Haishen was the leader of this group.

However, as soon as he spoke, Yu Feng found that the others' reactions were not as enthusiastic as he had expected.

Li Chun knew there was a misunderstanding and quickly explained:

"Leader, the three brothers have no plans to join the stronghold for the time being. They committed a serious crime in the prefecture. I happened to be involved, so I invited the three brothers to the stronghold to avoid the limelight. I will explain the details to the leader later."

Yu Feng was slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. He nodded and said:

"So that's how it is. The three of you can stay in my stronghold. Hongyun Mountain will naturally help heroes in trouble. Please enter the stronghold and talk."

Zhou Jing and the others thanked him and followed him in.

Yu Feng instructed the lackeys, and the stronghold quickly slaughtered pigs and sheep to set up a banquet to welcome Zhou Jing and his party.

The group entered the banquet and introduced themselves, getting to know each other.

Then, Li Chun explained the deeds of Zhou Jing and others in the prefecture to Yu Feng and other leaders who stayed behind, immediately causing a wave of shock and exclamation.

Yu Feng raised his wine bowl and stood up, toasting Zhou Jing and saying with emotion:

"I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I didn't know that Brother Chen was such a righteous and chivalrous hero with such high skills. I apologize to Brother Chen here."

"You're too kind."

Zhou Jing also stood up and drank a bowl with him.

Seeing this, the atmosphere at the banquet became more enthusiastic, and everyone toasted and chatted happily.

Zhou Jing also reiterated his intention to stay on the mountain for a while to observe the court's movements and avoid disaster.

Yu Feng immediately agreed.

He, the leader, was also an old hand who knew the rules of the martial world well.

In his opinion, this Life-Snatching Yama would most likely become famous in the martial world after doing such a thing, and there was also Guo Haishen, a great Buddha, with him... If he refused to help such a big name in the martial world and drove him down the mountain, Hongyun Mountain's reputation in the martial world would plummet.

Moreover, among the six leaders of Hongyun Mountain, the second leader Li Chun highly praised Zhou Jing and others, and the third leader Lu Yunzhao also admired Zhou Jing's skills. These two had a lot of weight in the stronghold, and they both spoke up for Zhou Jing, so he had to consider it.

In addition, Yu Feng had always wanted to expand the stronghold, but was worried that there were not enough experts in the stronghold. He was naturally happy to see this happen, and he kept calculating how to subdue Zhou Jing and his party in the future.

As for the remaining two leaders, they were also outstanding in martial arts. They had heard of Guo Haishen's name for a long time and admired him for many years, so they did not object to Zhou Jing and his party staying.

Everyone in Hongyun Mountain held a welcoming attitude. Seeing this, Zhou Jing was slightly relieved, knowing that this was a relatively safe place to stay and that there would not be too many problems.

The banquet was a happy occasion for both host and guests, and it lasted from morning until afternoon before it ended.

Yu Feng arranged for housing and allowed Zhou Jing and others to stay in Hongyun Mountain.

With a place to stay, the sworn brotherhood that had been agreed upon was no longer delayed.

The next day, Guo Haishen asked the lackeys for incense tables, yellow paper, and other ceremonial objects and set them up outside.

Fang Zhen also came over, clamoring to become brothers with his brother. Seeing this, Zhou Jing simply had them all swear an oath together.

The three performed the sworn brotherhood ceremony, beheading a rooster, burning yellow paper, and finally bowing in front of the incense table, saying loudly:

"Heaven is our witness, the earth is our proof, the mountains and rivers are our covenant, and the four seas are our agreement! Today, Chen Feng (Guo Haishen, Fang Zhen), swear to become sworn brothers in Hongyun Mountain. From now on, we will share blessings and hardships, venture into the martial world together, and go to the Yellow Springs together!"

After the three swore their oaths, they took an oath of blood alliance, exchanged eight bows, and then, according to the rules of the martial world, ranked themselves according to age.

Zhou Jing claimed to be about thirty years old, in line with his appearance. After ranking, he found that Guo Haishen was the oldest and Fang Zhen was the youngest.

So the ranking was set. Guo Haishen was the eldest brother, Zhou Jing was the second brother, and Fang Zhen was the third brother.

However, Zhou Jing was still in charge for the time being. Skill and favor could not be faked. Guo Haishen and Fang Zhen admired him in their hearts and were willing to follow Zhou Jing's lead.

"Second brother, third brother! I am happy in my heart to be able to become sworn brothers with you two!"

Guo Haishen put his arms around the two of them, his face excited and agitated, and he was very happy.

"Then we won't go home until we're drunk."

Zhou Jing looked at their flushed faces and couldn't help but smile.

……

[This deployment has ended!]

[Actual stay time: 23 days]

[Resource collection: 2060 Star Realm Points, 16 Information State Particles]

[Experience log has been filed, and relevant exploration results have been recorded in the illustrated book]

[Next Transmigration Cooldown Time: 14 hours]

Zhou Jing opened his eyes, and the familiar ceiling of the Supernatural Academy dormitory jumped into view.

The sunlight灑洒灑灑撒entered through the window, and it was already morning.

"Phew, I'm back..."

Zhou Jing sat up and shook his head.

The first transmigration to the "d19 plane" was over. He had spent more than half a month with Apostle No. 4. The time flow rate of this Star Realm was slightly faster than that of the Beast World.

Because this experience was a little rich, the resource collection income seemed quite considerable.

Before returning, Apostle No. 4 finally arrived at Hongyun Mountain, temporarily had a place to stay, and his situation barely stabilized.

Zhou Jing also set up a placement plan. He would not go down the mountain if he had nothing to do, and would focus on closed-door martial arts practice in a low-key manner.

Gu Jue

Currently, Chen Feng's synchronization rate is 25.6%, reaching the second stage, so the placement income cap has doubled, which is enough for the time being.

Noisy, let it be noisy, 埸 then competes with the world for nothing

"The martial artist's ability, Apostle No. 4, is practicing well. Although he is also just getting started, his progress has already surpassed my main body... However, before Apostle No. 4 is eternally化, these little by little progress in cultivation cannot be converted to the main body."

Zhou Jing had already known this, and nodded secretly.

Apostle No. 4 has outstanding martial arts aptitude. After he has thoroughly understood the Gale Style, he will go to the academy to learn other basic martial arts genres, serving as nourishment for Apostle No. 4's martial arts practice.

He had already planned that during the month and a half before the main world explorers and the "d19 plane" were officially connected, he would transmigration every night, seizing this rare opportunity for undisturbed development.

During this transmigration, Zhou Jing had a considerable understanding of the general situation of this world.

"Chen Feng should be practicing martial arts behind closed doors in Hongyun Mountain for a period of time. With the assistance of cultivation acceleration, he will practice the skills at hand to a higher level before doing anything. There is no need to cause trouble for the time being. Even if I transmigration to him, there seems to be nothing to do... So it is best to throw another apostle in there, with another available person to place."

Zhou Jing stroked his chin and analyzed in his heart.

Because Bill had become an Eternal Apostle, he could open the third apostle slot and deploy three apostles at the same time.

The slot occupied by Chen Feng was only the second one. He had not spent resources to expand the third apostle slot, so there was still a vacant deployment spot.

Deploying one more apostle, one more income channel, can maximize the income, Zhou Jing had already figured this out.

"Perhaps next time, I can spend a resurrection chance to throw Bill into this Star Realm..."

Zhou Jing pondered.

Bill's clearance rewards allowed Bill's various qualifications to be improved to a certain extent, and he was able to break the limitation of the 【Elemental Wizard】 Level 3 and continue to cultivate and become stronger.

At the same time, because Bill became an Eternal Apostle, the results of his cultivation can always be used as a transformation project for the main body, and it would be a waste to throw him aside and ignore him.

"This world does not have the natural spirits of the Beast World, but allowing Bill to deeply develop the already possessed Gale Spirit is also a way to become stronger."

The more Zhou Jing thought about it, the more feasible it became.

Although the appearance of the Eternal Apostle can no longer be adjusted, Bill's appearance and the human race in this world are somewhat different. But at least they are all human beings. Even if they are more eye-catching, it doesn't matter. As long as they make a little disguise, they can integrate into the new Star Realm.

Moreover, in Zhou Jing's view, the extraordinary system of Elemental Wizards, even if it has certain conflicts with this world, is a great advantage as long as it can be used.

——You can pretend to be a god!

Bill's witchcraft cannot summon rain, but it can summon wind!

This is simply a divine skill for pretending to be a charlatan!

"In this way, he can play a great role in this world..."

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up and he had an idea.

With the ability to summon wind, whether it is to fool princes and nobles, or to confuse people's hearts and help Chen Feng start an uprising, or to attract believers to establish a church, it can all come in handy!

Even if you don't take the path of pretending to be a ghost, Bill, a technical talent, can also play a role.

Bill has high-level potions. As long as he figures out the nature of the herbs in this world, he can transform into a physician and try to develop some new medicines that can be used in many ways, such as assisting in martial arts training, nourishing the body, and so on.

Even picking up his old business and making aphrodisiacs is not impossible...

However, it is impossible to copy the異異異異blood potion, after all, there is no "异异异异兽" raw material in this world.

"With the cultural background of this world, people generally think that those who can have such means are monks... Maybe I can give Bill a pseudonym and pretend to be a Taoist priest, traveling around the world..."

Zhou Jing's eyes flickered, full of interest.

……

For him, today is the day to restart the Star Realm Transmigration, but for the Supernatural Academy, it is just an ordinary day.

After finishing a day of normal classes, the transmigration cooldown had finished. Zhou Jing hurriedly returned to the dormitory, opened the panel, and immediately entered the transmigration preparation space.

This time, he did not choose Apostle No. 4 Chen Feng, but spent resources to open the third apostle slot.

[4000 Star Realm Points, 80 Information State Particles have been consumed]

[New Apostle Slot has been expanded]

[Current Star Realm Apostle Slots: 2/3]

"Fortunately, I didn't raise the Star Realm Transmigration Energy Level to Level 5 at that time, otherwise there wouldn't be enough Information State Particles to expand the slot..."

Zhou Jing calmed down and chose to deploy Bill to the "d19 plane".

Bill's attributes were immediately displayed on the panel.

The attributes and skills were the same as when he died, but his qualifications were rewarded with clearance rewards, and "Knowledge", "Potion", "Natural Affinity", and "Magic" were all improved.

Zhou Jing was not the first time to redeploy Eternal Apostles, and knew what could be adjusted, one was to add extra points, and the other was to re-equip auxiliary functions.

When Bill was generated for adding points, his Star Realm Transmigration Energy Level was LV3, and now it is LV4.

Bill's template rarity, the basic point limit is 700, so the total upper limit now has 700 more.

Zhou Jing naturally did not hesitate to spend 700 Star Realm Points to give Bill 7 free distribution points. He added the "Magic" qualification first, raising the "Magic" qualification from [Green] to [Dark Green].

The remaining 4 distribution points were not enough to raise the magic qualification to the blue level.

He thought about it and simply invested all the remaining 4 points in Physical Fitness, which is the weakest attribute of 【Elemental Wizard】.

As for the auxiliary functions, Bill's template also had two slots, which were originally configured with 【Item Analysis Function】 and 【Pet Function】.

Zhou Jing thought about it and only replaced 【Pet Function】 with 【Map Radar】, spending 600 Star Realm Points.

At this time, he checked Bill's ability file again:

[No. 003 Star Realm Apostle - Bill]

[Attributes: Physical Fitness 25, Resistance 20, Perception 30, Spirit 40 (+4) (Tier 1 AX)]

[Qualifications: Knowledge 【Deep Blue】, Potion 【Deep Blue】, Natural Affinity 【Light Blue】, Magic 【Dark Green】, Eloquence 【Dark Green】, Craftsmanship 【Green】...]

[Talents: 【Thirst for Knowledge】 (Increased learning efficiency), 【Pharmacist】 (Increased success rate and quality of potion making)]

[Extraordinary System: 【Elemental Wizard】·Gale Spirit·Level 3]

[Skills: 【Potion】 LV8 - Perfection, 【Herbal Knowledge】 LV9 - Master, 【异异异异blood Potion Technology】 LV7 - Expert, 【Animal Taming】 LV3 - Outstanding, 【Basic Meditation】 LV3 - Outstanding]

[Auxiliary functions: 【Item Analysis Function】, 【Map Radar】]

"This should be fine... Where should Bill descend? Hmm, it seems like there's no use in getting close to Chen Feng now. Maybe he can go to other important cities of the Great Xia Dynasty to broaden his horizons and find out information that Chen Feng can't access..."

Zhou Jing pondered while opening the map interface of the "d19 plane".

He frowned and picked on the map for a while before finally determining a landing point.

"Designated Area Deployment!"

[100 Star Realm Points have been consumed]

[Start Deployment!]

Chi La!

A streamer rift bloomed, and Zhou Jing was sucked into it again, entering this Star Realm again.
