"There is a weight-reducing formation at the bottom of this car, which can greatly increase the load capacity of the vehicle. Otherwise, even if it is replaced by a horse, I am afraid I will not be able to get to this Daji Mountain..." Yan Jie explained a few casually, and then introduced himself: "In Xia Yan Jie, I have been interested in the way of formation since I was a child. This time I went out, I also wanted to find a way to see if I could join the Tianji Sect..."

"I want to join the Tianji Sect with this little trick alone? I think you'd better stop dreaming! Do you have a new order from the Tianji Sect?" Zhang Shijie was very dissatisfied with Yan Jie and couldn't help but sarcastically.

Tianji Sect recruits disciples every ten years, and only one hundred new recruitment orders are issued at a time. Only those who hold the new recruitment order are qualified to go to Tianji Sect to receive further assessment. And half of each new recruitment order is controlled by major families, and the chances of ordinary casual cultivators obtaining are minimal. In Zhang Shijie's view, it is impossible for Yan Jie's cultivation level to obtain the new recruitment order, let alone enter the sect.

"Recruiting a new order?" Yan Jie pointed to a green sign tied to the donkey's neck and said, "Is that one?"

Seeing this, Zhang Shijie immediately said angrily: "The new order is a token of the sect, symbolizing the authority of the sect! It is really disrespectful that you actually tie it to the back of the donkey!"

Li Ting was also a little dissatisfied with Yan Jie's actions and surprisingly did not refute it. Zhang Shijie said it right. Tokens are a symbol of a sect and an iconic object. Yan Jie tied the Tianji Sect's new order to the donkey, which was indeed disrespectful.

Yan Jie calmly took the token and put it away, and then drove the donkey on the road to Xishan Village. Then he explained: "You two misunderstood! I don't mean anything disrespectful, I just use it to navigate."

"Navigation?" Li Ting and Zhang Shijie looked at each other, and both of them were confused and asked at the same time: "What does this mean?"

"You two should know that recruitment orders can not only show the location of Tianji Gate, but also issue warnings for dangerous areas. This is what I said. Recruitment orders contain a set of extremely clever formations, and the navigation function is just the tip of the iceberg of many abilities of this formation! As long as I try to extract the navigation information in the token and input the information into the control array, I can control the direction of the donkey by myself and achieve the effect of unmanned driving. Otherwise, if I am full and have enough, will I have to drive a donkey cart to the sect?"

"..." Faced with Yan Jie who was talking nonsense, Li Ting and Zhang Shijie were both a little shocked, and they felt that this person was wild and could not be measured by common sense.

Zhang Shijie even secretly complained: No wonder this kid dares to go to Xishan Village. Eighty-most like Li Ting, he has mental problems...

"This method is good, but it's just a waste of talent..." Li Ting was amused and crying. In the cultivation world, setting up formations takes time and effort, and cultivators can only set up formations at important moments. Li Ting has never heard of such situations as Yan Jie who directly set up formations on donkey carts in order to save worries.

However, with the shock absorption formation on the flatbed car, they can sit in the car and chat leisurely, saving time and effort, and Li Ting is also happy.

The three of them were all young people. After chatting for a few words, they found a common topic. After a while, they quickly became familiar with each other.

"By the way, Brother Zhang, your Zhang family is obviously in the north, why do you want to go to the Tianji Gate in the south? As far as I know, the influence of Tianji Gate is only south of Daji Mountain, and it seems that it is not the best choice for the Zhang family..." Yan Jie and the two gradually became familiar with each other, so they asked about the Zhang family.

"You don't know this," Zhang Shijie took the Tianxiang Herb Stem handed over by Yan Jie and said while sucking: "The aristocratic families, except for the very few ten thousand-year-old families that have existed since ancient times, most of them have to rely on the sects in order to gain support and cultivation. However, there are too many aristocratic families in the north. Even if the Zhang family squeezes out and surrenders to a sect, they will not show our importance. On the contrary, the Tianji Sect is different..."

Yan Jie understood before Zhang Shijie finished speaking. Although the Tianji Sect is located in the south, it also wants to expand its influence in the north. If the Zhang family defected to the Tianji Sect, they will inevitably receive the support of the Tianji Sect. This is indeed much more cost-effective than the sects in the north.

However, at present, both the Zhang family and the Tianji Sect should only stay at the level of testing and have not yet established mutual trust. Otherwise, the Tianji Sect should directly accept Zhang Shijie as an inner disciple. Why do he need to travel a long distance to participate in the introductory competition?

Sure enough, Li Ting, who was standing by, also said: "The Zhang family's head's abacus is indeed smart, but it may not be able to succeed. It has not been a day or two for Tianji Sect to gain a foothold in the north. It has not been successful for so many years, so there must be unknown reasons. In my opinion, the Zhang family's move is really a bit risky..."

"You guy is here again! You can't say a few words and put on a stinking airshot of a scholar. I can't talk to you!" Zhang Shijie turned around and ignored Li Ting. It was obvious that the two had already quarreled more than once before.

After walking on the rugged mountain road for another quarter of an hour, a village finally appeared.

Yan Jie looked at the village ahead, his face suddenly changed, and he said, "Two, we are in big trouble..."

Zhang Shijie and Li Ting hurriedly looked in the direction Yan Jie pointed, and saw a village faintly appearing in the valley in the distance. Smoke was curling everywhere in the village, and there was a group of children playing at the entrance of the village. It was clearly a peaceful scene.

"This Xishan Village looks quite peaceful, how can there be any evil ghosts? You guy is really fussing!" Zhang Shijie felt relieved when he saw this scene.

"Something is wrong!" Li Ting, who was beside him, shook his head and reminded: "Look at the smoke in the cooking pot again!"

Zhang Shijie also knew that he was inexperienced and could not help but fall into the trap of the villain. Seeing Li Ting reminding him, he quickly used his eyes to observe and found a problem, "Hey, more than a dozen smokes in cooking are exactly the same, and there is no difference in thickness!"

Li Ting nodded and said, "Yes, it's not just these smoke from cooking. The children playing at the entrance of the village have been repeating the same movements. The houses in the village all look exactly the same, which is very unreasonable..."

"What's going on? Are everything we see fake?" Zhang Shijie felt a little incredible. Although most ghosts are proficient in the art of change, they can directly transform into a village in broad daylight, which is too exaggerated.

"This is the formation!" Yan Jie moved the turtle mirror and soon saw the clue. Seeing that Zhang Shijie and Li Ting were still confused, Yan Jie explained: "Although ghosts are good at changing, they will never have such a large scale. This should be the function of the illusion array!"

"Yan Jie is right, Shijie, you can tell by looking at your new order!" Li Ting interrupted the two of them's argument.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shijie quickly took out the token to watch it. He saw that the originally green token suddenly emitted a faint light, and the fluorescent light flashed constantly, clearly warning something.

"The new order can respond differently to different dangers. When it emits fluorescence, it means that we are trapped in the formation. Yan Jie's judgment is completely correct. In terms of formation, his ability is much stronger than ours..."

Zhang Shijie asked nervously: "So, are we already in the formation?"

Yan Jie nodded and said, "I'm afraid yes..."
