29: Holy Mountain Slide and Talisman Horse

After ascending four or five meters, Senior Brother Bo Lun grabbed the iron chain and stopped rising, shouting down to Qin Yue, "You do as I do, try to ascend to my level first!"

Qin Yue understood at a glance; this was essentially a pulley system.

It was only thanks to the immense arm strength of a Martial Artist that they could use this as an elevator.

Qin Yue imitated him, ascending to Senior Brother Bo Lun's height. "Senior Brother, is there no safety measure for this thing of ours?

What if we lose our grip on the iron chain and let go?"

"Then don't let go!"

Senior Brother Bo Lun thought for a moment and then added,

"If the iron chain breaks, just grab another chain. I haven't heard of anyone falling in all these years."

Qin Yue was speechless, simply following Senior Brother Bo Lun, pulling the iron chain down one section at a time.

With the help of the Blood Qi Circulation Method, the two ascended very quickly, reaching the top of the Holy Sect Mountain in just over two hours.

Qin Yue thought about their assessment, which had only been four or five days, but it felt like a very long time.

If he had the Blood Qi Circulation Method back then, he wouldn't have had to run for a whole day to get up there. He was so tired then, just thinking about it made him feel like he had suffered a loss.

After reaching the top of the Holy Sect Mountain, Senior Brother Bo Lun didn't rest. He led Qin Yue away from where they had ascended and walked to the other side of the mountain.

This side of the mountain slope was different from where Qin Yue and the others had ascended during the assessment. It wasn't as steep, and there were no chiseled stone steps; the entire mountain wall was extremely smooth.

"We'll go down from here!" Senior Brother Bo Lun said, pointing to the smooth mountain wall.

"From here? There are no iron chains here, how do we climb down?!" Qin Yue was a bit confused.

"Slide down from here!" Senior Brother Bo Lun still pointed at the mountain wall.

"Slide down?

How high are we now?

How fast will we be when we slide to the bottom of the mountain?" Qin Yue thought, Senior Brother Bo Lun probably doesn't know what gravitational acceleration is.

"Senior Brother... how about I just run down the stone steps on that side instead!"

Qin Yue wasn't afraid of heights; it was just completely outside his tolerance range.

Even though he had practiced so many Martial arts, he knew he couldn't slide from here to the bottom of the mountain without falling to his death.

"I see the skin on your hands is somewhat new. Your hand flesh has already undergone the first stage of Body Refining, right!

As long as your hands are refined well, then there's no problem!

This mountain wall looks very smooth from above, but in fact, there are some holes every few meters. When you slide down, as long as you grab these holes, you can slow down.

I'll go down first. If you don't grab a hole, I can catch you below."

With that, Senior Brother Bo Lun slid down the mountain wall.

It was indeed as Senior Brother Bo Lun had just said; after sliding for a while, he would use his hands to grip the mountain wall, and then his speed would slow down.

After sliding down about twenty meters, Senior Brother Bo Lun stopped completely, looked up, and shouted to him,

"You come down!"

With Senior Brother Bo Lun below, Qin Yue no longer hesitated. He tightened his pack and black saber, slowly sat down, and began to slide down from the mountaintop.

After sliding only a few meters, Qin Yue felt the first hole, which gave him some confidence.

Only when he slid next to Senior Brother Bo Lun did Senior Brother Bo Lun continue to slide down.

This time, Senior Brother Bo Lun no longer slowed down frequently. After a long time, Qin Yue saw Senior Brother Bo Lun grab the mountain wall once, then continued to slide down.

Qin Yue also didn't stop there, letting go of the hand gripping the mountain wall, and slid towards the foot of the Holy Sect Mountain.

The speed became faster and faster, and the cold wind from the mountaintop blowing on Qin Yue's face couldn't extinguish his excited mood.

Unlike his initial caution, once he became proficient, Qin Yue, like Senior Brother Bo Lun, drastically reduced the frequency of grabbing the holes.

Perhaps speed brings excitement. Qin Yue's nature was originally quite steady and he disliked showing off, but now Qin Yue wanted to shout. He felt that only by shouting could he express his excited feelings.

It only took twenty minutes to slide from the mountaintop to the mountain bottom, and these twenty minutes made Qin Yue extremely happy.

This was the first time since his Transmigration that he felt like a true fifteen-year-old youth.

As he neared the ground, Qin Yue dared not be reckless anymore. After several times of dissipating force and slowing down, Qin Yue landed steadily on the ground.

Senior Brother Bo Lun was already waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Qin Yue land cleanly, a hint of admiration appeared in Bo Lun's eyes.

Actually, when he first received the task of bringing a new Disciple, Bo Lun didn't want to come, because he was always a person who disliked trouble.

It wasn't until he saw that the person he needed to escort was Qin Yue that he decided to make the trip.

Because he had a deep impression of Qin Yue during the assessment. This Junior Brother didn't look like a Disciple from an aristocratic family, yet he was first in every assessment and was the first to learn the Blood Qi Circulation Method during the journey.

Such a talented individual, he wanted to try and recruit him to Martial Peak, which would also be a contribution to Martial Peak.

"Senior Brother, how do we get to Wangjia Village, do you know?"

Qin Yue landed, looking at the crisscrossing roads ahead with some worry.

When accepting the task, Qin Yue had already asked how to get to Wangjia Village.

The Senior Brother Receptionist at the General Affairs Hall didn't tell him, only saying that he should listen to the escorting Senior Brother.

Now that they were out of the Holy Sect Mountain, Qin Yue felt a little worried for his Senior Brother. There were probably countless Wangjia Villages in the world; how would Senior Brother Bo Lun find it?

Bo Lun didn't answer Qin Yue's question. Instead, he pulled out a black token from his in arms, tapped it with his finger, and a "ding" sound rang out.

Qin Yue's gaze was drawn to the token in Senior Brother Bo Lun's hand, not expecting this dark token to make such a clear sound.

Just then, Qin Yue heard the sound of wings flapping in the sky. Looking up, wasn't that the strange horse Senior Brother Bo Lun used to pick them up for the cart that day?

The strange horse flew from the sky, as if running on the ground, its hooves constantly moving, only occasionally flapping its wings.

Soon, the strange horse landed on the road not far from them and ran towards them.

"Senior Brother Bo Lun, is this your horse? How can it fly? Are we going to ride this horse to Wangjia Village?"

Qin Yue saw Senior Brother Bo Lun approach, rub the horse's head, and quickly asked.

"This is a Mystic Rune Horse, always the mount for our Holy Sect members when traveling. When you truly enter the inner Sect later, you can also claim a Mystic Rune Horse.

If you were doing this task alone, you should have been able to temporarily claim a Mystic Rune Horse from the Martial Academy, but because I am with you, that's not the case."

"Then Senior Brother, why didn't you let your horse directly pick us up at the Martial Academy? Why did we have to run outside the Holy Sect Mountain?"

"Because no Yao Beast is allowed inside the Holy Sect Mountain, not even mounts like the Mystic Rune Horse, which are bred by the Holy Sect and have Yao Beast Bloodline."

Bo Lun turned and looked at Qin Yue sternly. "Junior Brother, you must remember, you will encounter many Yao Beasts in the future. Some Yao Beasts may look harmless, but you cannot keep them by your side. Holy Sect Disciples must be irreconcilably opposed to Yao Beasts for life. If a Holy Sect Disciple has conclusive evidence of colluding with Yao Beasts, he will be immediately expelled from the Holy Sect Mountain and the Holy Sect Martial arts study will be reclaimed, understand?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, Junior Brother will remember!"

Qin Yue could only agree, but he was a little confused. It seemed the Holy Sect had suffered greatly from Yao Beasts! They were so strict about Disciples interacting with Yao Beasts.
