Since he did not understand the general strength of the cultivators here, Hoshino did not dare to join any sect rashly. The more masters there were, the more likely it was to cause changes. He had to start with some sects with slightly weaker strength.

However, the strength of this sect cannot be too weak, otherwise it will be difficult to help him. How to find these sects? Hoshino had already had a solution in his mind, that is, to find a Taoist yard first.

Daofang is a gathering place for monks, and is a place specially provided for monks to exchange experience and buy and sell magic weapons and materials. It is almost inevitable that places such as Daofang will appear in any place with a large number of monks, so Hoshino is not worried about not being able to find such places.

Sure enough, in less than three days, he locked in three low-level cultivators with his spiritual consciousness. Among these three, the highest cultivation level was only the middle stage of foundation building, and the lowest cultivation level had not even been built. It was just the tenth level of the Transcendence Period. The huge gap in spiritual consciousness made it impossible for them to discover the existence of Hoshiye.

In this way, after less than two days of following the three people, Hoshino found a small Taoist yard. Most of the cultivators coming and going in were just in the Foundation Establishment stage, and occasionally they could see several cultivators in the Fusion stage. Of course, the Taoist yard sold all the ordinary talisman materials, and even if one or two magic weapons appeared, they were all low-level magic weapons.

After wandering around the Taoist yard, Hoshino spent a low-grade spirit stone and bought an inconspicuous green Taoist robe to wear it. Only a low-level defensive magic array was attached to it. After looking up and down, Hoshino nodded with satisfaction, so that it would be more in line with the identity he would play next.

It turned out that while wandering around just now, Hoshino had been quietly investigating the surrounding situation with his spiritual consciousness. From the monks, he heard from the monks that there was an immortal cultivation sect called Xuanhai Sect nearby. It seemed that it was the largest sect within a radius of hundreds of miles. It is said that the sect leader was already a cultivator in the middle stage of Jindan.

This sect is recruiting sects recently, and the casual cultivators will also be included in the sect, but at least they must have the ability to cultivate in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The sect leader is just a sect of the mid-stage Jindan cultivator, which just meets Xingyao's goal, so he bought a inferior Taoist robe and was about to pretend to be a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage to sneak into the Xuanhai Sect.

Since the dantian has been damaged, there is no need to use any qi-retention technique to hide his own aura. Now, no one can tell that he is actually a cultivator in the Golden Elixir Stage.

After tidying up the Taoist robe on his body, Hoshino's expression changed, and then he greeted the three low-level monks in front of the left with a smile on his face, walked up to him and bowed slightly, "I have seen three fellow Taoists in Xiamu Xingye."

The three of them were stunned, obviously not expecting someone to suddenly find them. But they didn't hit the smiley person. Since everyone had greeted him on their own initiative, they didn't have the reason to greet him coldly. So the three of them bowed and bowed one after another. One of the slightly older male cultivators with square faces and wide cheeks said in confusion: "I don't know what the hell is going to come to us?"

"That's right. I'm a casual cultivator. I worked hard to build the foundation successfully." Hoshino sighed with a wry smile, "I sighed that the path of cultivation is very difficult. It's really not easy to achieve something by myself. Recently, I heard that this famous Xuanhai Sect is going to recruit disciples, and the casual cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can also be accepted, so I want to try my luck. If I can join a powerful sect like Xuanhai Sect, it would be better."

Hearing this, the three of them immediately understood, "It turns out that fellow Taoist Mu wants to join the Xuanhai Sect. It turns out that he doesn't know where the Xuanhai Sect is, right?"

Hoshino smiled awkwardly: "It made all fellow Taoists laugh. I was alone and I didn't know the location of the Xuanhai Gate."

"Fellow Taoist Mu must not say that. We don't mean to make fun of you. We are very impressed by the fact that fellow Taoist can practice hard alone and enter the foundation building stage!" The person who spoke before hit him, then took out a jade slip and handed it to Hoshino, "This is a nearby map, so I gave it to Fellow Taoist Mu. There is a location of the Xuanhai Gate inside. Fellow Taoist can find his way to go."

"This, why are you so embarrassed..."

Hoshino was about to be polite when he was interrupted by the man: "Hey, fellow Taoist Mu, don't refuse, but an ordinary jade slip is just a piece of ordinary jade, not a great thing. Let's first wish that fellow Taoist Mu will successfully join Xuanhai Sect."

After both sides had politely made things happen, Hoshino said goodbye first and set out to head for Xuanhai Gate. Before leaving, he suddenly had a whim and waved around the Daofang again. Now he had no spiritual power available, so he wanted to see if there were any simple attack magic weapons that could be driven by just spiritual consciousness. However, after a round, he did not gain anything.

After thinking about it, he reacted, and then he couldn't help but scolded himself for being confused. The magic weapon that can be controlled by spiritual consciousness alone is at least at the level of spiritual weapons. How can a mere low-level magic weapon be controlled by spiritual consciousness alone?

You should know that almost all magic weapons can be controlled freely with the dual cooperation of spiritual power and spiritual consciousness. Magic weapons that can be driven by spiritual consciousness alone are extremely rare even in spiritual weapons. This is why Uncle Kun’s ring dragon pendant is so precious.

There is no way to imagine that Hoshino could only give up this idea. Fortunately, with the strength of his current spiritual consciousness, as long as he does not encounter a too powerful Jindan stage cultivator, it is more than enough to protect himself.

I just checked the information recorded in the map. There was about a terrain of about 700 to 800 miles nearby, and there were dozens of sects of different sizes marked on it. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are other hidden sects, but they are not well-known. However, the Xuanhai Sect is indeed the largest sect nearby. Judging from the marking range on the map, there is no problem with this.

I proofread the current location. It is about 500 miles away from Qinghu Mountain where the Xuanhai Gate is located, and it is not too far. Anyway, this Daofang is not worth staying, so Hoshino simply set off immediately and headed straight for the Xuanhai Gate.

In just over 500 miles, Hoshino passed by at least a dozen small and medium-sized villages and towns. Each village has Taoist temples of different sizes. Although the Taoist priests in it have low cultivation levels, they are all real monks.

What made him sigh was that the mortals here seemed to be familiar with the existence of cultivators. Every household had more or less talismans to ward off evil spirits and exorcising ghosts. Although these talismans were just low-level goods that were not worth mentioning, they were all real talismans containing the magic power of monks.

In his hometown, even the lowest-level monk items are, the chances of mortals being exposed to are very small. Basically, the cultivation world and the mortal world are two different worlds, and there is no intersection.

It seems that under the protection of Qianyuan Sect, this place has indeed achieved good weather and peaceful people's livelihood. Such a huge and prosperous foundation for mortals will naturally benefit the development of a sect.

After strolling through the last town, he reached the territory of Qinghu Mountain about thirty miles further. However, at this moment, Hoshino's brow frowned slightly, and his spiritual consciousness stretched back, and the people followed again.

These people have been hanging all the way back since his debut. Unexpectedly, after following hundreds of miles, they have been following Qinghu Mountain. The corners of their mouths slightly raised, and Hoshino sneered. Whether these people were going to Qinghu Mountain together or had other plans, it seems that they have to find an opportunity to confirm.

Trouble, only if it is completely solved will no longer be a trouble.

Just as he was slowly wandering on the road, the direction of Hoshino's forward quietly changed, and he also headed to Qinghu Mountain, but the destination was no longer Xuanhai Gate.
