107 Squad of Nine
- "Brother Ye is here, come and sit here." We're talking about the recent cultivation situation. You're here just in time, let's talk about it. ”
Zhang and Xia greeted Ye Qin happily when they saw Ye Qin coming.
But they soon discovered that the aura on Ye Qin's body was a bit more pressing than before, and only high-level monks would have such spiritual pressure on low-level monks. They investigated Ye Qin's cultivation and immediately became even more surprised.
Xia Laohei's eyes widened, "Little Brother Ye is already at the fifth level of Qi refining, one level higher than my old black, how did you cultivate?"
Zhang Qiao stood up happily, his eyes shining, and said, "Brother Ye is an alchemist, he can refine the elixir, and his cultivation will naturally be faster." Old black brother, who told you to strike iron? If you had gone to alchemy in the first place, you might have been able to cultivate so quickly. ”
Xia Laohei felt that it was the same, and scratched his head in annoyance.
Ye Qin explained with a faint smile: "I was already at the peak of the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and it was not surprising that I had made some progress last month after being closed for a month. Brother Zhang, aren't the two of you already at the fourth and third layers of the Qi Refining Period? ”
"Where, it's far worse than Brother Ye's progress. ”
Zhang Zhe smiled bitterly, not daring to compare himself. He had been cultivating for half a year, and with Ye Qin's dozens of Descending Dew Pills, he had only recently stepped into the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Period. Originally, I wanted to show off a little in front of everyone, and I was qualified to be on an equal footing with Ye, Xia, and Fan, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Ye Qin was already at the fifth level of the Qi refining stage, and he was left behind again.
Ye Qin sat down on a table and chair in the hall and asked, "What do you decide to do about going to the Lingwu Grand Canyon?"
Zhang Zhe thought for a moment and said, "I have already sent a note to my cousin Xu Qing, he should come over soon." This time, my cousin led the team to the Grand Canyon, so let's wait for him to come. ”
Ye Qin nodded.
This cousin of the Zhang brothers and sisters is a patrol team leader of the Immortal Yuan City Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and his cultivation is quite high, and he is already at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage when he is in his thirties. I usually have to carry out tasks, so I rarely come here.
The Zhang brothers and sisters were originally children of the Jianghu Gang, and they were able to step into the immortal path, which has a lot to do with this cousin. One of their uncles was an immortal cultivator, and when he happened to visit the Zhang family, he found that their brother and sister had the spiritual root of cultivating immortals, so they taught the immortal method. This year, the Zhang brothers and sisters have achieved immortal law, so they came to this immortal city. Under the care of their cousin Xu Qing, the two brothers and sisters settled down here.
However, this Xu Qing is usually very busy and rarely comes to this inn.
Ye Qin had only met this Xu Qing once by chance, and had not talked to him. I don't know why, he doesn't have a good impression of the guards and patrols of Xianyuan City in his heart, and even rejects it a little. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when he entered the city, he was sneered at by the guards of Xianyuan City. He didn't want to have anything to do with them.
But he had to admit that this Xu Qing had been in this Xianyuan City for more than ten years and was an experienced veteran. A veteran leads the team to break through the Lingwu Grand Canyon, and the team will definitely be safer
Everyone waited for more than half an hour, and when Xia Laohei couldn't help but start complaining that Xu Qing hadn't come yet, there was finally a heavy sound of footsteps downstairs, and a young male monk with a tall figure and a cold face walked up from downstairs and appeared at the door of the hall.
From head to toe, this person is fully equipped with black armor weapons and equipment, helmets, armor, boots, bracers, leggings, and the breastplate is engraved with three small swords representing the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, which are crossed together, which is very eye-catching. Equipped with a three-foot-long golden light sword at the waist, it is dazzling.
This is the standard equipment of the guards and patrols of Xianyuan City, and a full set of spiritual weapons, not the kind of mundane mortal iron that is vulnerable. The Spirit Weapon Armor has extremely high defense, while the Spirit Sword has extremely high attack power.
During the foundation building period, the monks used tens of thousands of catties of refined iron ore to remove its residue, take its essence, and then use the innate true fire to quench 7749 days before they could refine such a set of spiritual armor. Don't look at this spiritual armor looks very thin, but just a helmet, a boot, a bracer, and leg guards weigh hundreds of catties, and a full set of armor is worn on the body at least nearly a thousand catties.
With such a complete set of spiritual weapons and armor with super defensive power worn on his body, even if he was guarded by a monk of the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Period, it was enough to face a master of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Period head-on, and he would not be defeated.
However, ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators would not use this kind of armor at all. Although the defensive power of this armor is terrifying, because it is too heavy, the speed is seriously slowed down, and it cannot run fast. This kind of spiritual weapon armor is only suitable for the city guards of Xianyuan City to wear.
Ye Qin looked at Xu Qing's overall spiritual weapon armor, although he was a little envious, he was not moved. He didn't need this kind of spiritual weapon armor set. But if you can get a spirit sword, it's good.
This young male monk was none other than the captain of the Xianyuan City patrol team and the cousin of the Zhang brothers and sisters, Xu Qing. He glanced at the five people in the hall, the corners of his mouth curled, and there was a hint of disdain hidden in the depths of his eyes.
The hall fell silent.
Xu Qing's appearance brought a lot of pressure to everyone. This is an unavoidable phenomenon for low-level monks in front of high-level monks, and the greater the gap in cultivation, the more pressing this spiritual pressure becomes.
The five of them didn't speak anymore and looked at Xu Qing.
Behind Xu Qing, several slight footsteps sounded. Soon, a sixty or seventy-year-old man with a low eyebrow appeared on Xu Qing's right side. This person is short and thin, with white hair and eyebrows, quite a bit of fairy bones, but the eyebrows are very narrow, and they seem to be twisted together, with a thoughtful appearance. There were also two gorgeous young and slender women, one of whom was a woman in blue holding a flute and a woman in red with a sword, who also appeared next to Xu Qing.
These three people Xu Qing brought people, and their cultivation was not high, and they were all at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Period. is not much higher than Zhang Zhe and others.
Ye Qin, Xia Laohei, Fan Jiasheng, and Zhang's brothers and sisters couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this. What did Xu Qing bring them here for?
Zhang Zhe couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, who are these three?"
"Oh, here are a few of my friends, going to the Grand Canyon together. ”
Xu Qing replied casually.
Zhang Zhe and the others glanced at each other and showed dissatisfied expressions.
Originally, they had planned for the six of them to go to the Spirit Mist Grand Canyon together. But Xu Qing didn't say a word in advance, so he temporarily added three people they didn't know to join the team, and when the time came, they went to the Lingwu Grand Canyon, how could these people who were not familiar with it at all cooperate?
The inside of the Lingwu Grand Canyon is very dangerous, six of them are at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Period, one is the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and the tallest Xu Qing is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Period, this comprehensive strength is not high. Even among the monks in the entire Immortal Yuan City, it can be said that it is a little low, barely reaching the level of going to the Spirit Mist Grand Canyon.
If there is a lack of tacit cooperation between the team members, and they may even be planted in the Grand Canyon, it is not a joke.
Xu Qing brought people directly, obviously not caring about the displeasure of the five of them at all, and directly introduced: "These three are Bi Laoguo, Feng Man, and Wu Qinyi. They were all veterans who had been to the Grand Canyon at least a few times, and there were no other teams, so I brought them in, and we had exactly nine of them. Four veterans lead five novices, and our nine-person team barely has the strength to break into the Grand Canyon. Let's get to know each other these days, and when the mission documents of the various sects come down, let's set off for the Grand Canyon. ”
Xu Qing's tough arrangement made Zhang Zhe and Xia Laohei very helpless, but they had to endure it. If Xu Qing didn't lead the team, the five newcomers who had never been to the Grand Canyon would only be more dangerous if they went to the Lingwu Grand Canyon on their own. fell out with Xu Qing, no good.
Bi Laoguo, Feng Man, Wu Qin, and the others, looking at Ye Qin and the others, their eyes were also not good. They are all veterans who have been living and dying in the Grand Canyon for a long time, and they will inevitably despise the five newcomers such as Ye Zhangzhe and Xia Laohei.
If it weren't for Xu Qing, a "master", to lead the team, they would not be willing to form a team with these five newcomers and go to the Lingwu Grand Canyon for an adventure.
The three of them snorted casually, nodded, and said hello and met.
Xu Qing didn't care about their attitude either.
Because Xu Qing has the strongest strength, the highest cultivation, and the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, without anyone raising any objections, he has indisputably become the captain of this nine-person team.
He assigned tasks to the squad: in terms of position, it was divided into one outpost, one rear outpost, four backbones, one left guard, and one right guard. The specific functions are divided into attack players, defense team members, and auxiliary support team members. This division of labor is completely the division of labor of the Xianyuan City patrol, as long as one person on all sides is touched, the others can immediately pounce and launch a fierce attack.
Ye Qin's cultivation is second only to Xu Qing.
"You support in the center, and you will be on top of the side where there is a shortage of people. ”
Xu Qing frowned and thought for a while, and arranged Ye Qin.
After completing the division of labor among all the people in the team, Xu Qing had a calm face, glanced at everyone fiercely, and said in a very stern tone: "The team has been assigned." If anyone makes a leak and drags down the whole team, don't blame my surname Xu for being unsympathetic. In order to let most of the team get out of the Grand Canyon alive, it is not hesitate to give up a certain team member when necessary!"
Everyone felt in their hearts, this trip to the canyon was not to wander, but to take risks to complete the mission of the sect. The most important thing is to get enough items and complete the quest paperwork of each sect. Everything else is secondary.
No one dares to take it lightly
In the inn, everyone discussed a lot of things, got to know each other's strengths, and after an hour, they dispersed.
Ye Qin left the inn and walked on the street.
The popularity in Xianyuan City is extremely hot, there are several times more people, the streets, taverns, teahouses, and inns in the city are very lively, and there are immortal cultivators everywhere who are recruiting people and forming a team, ready to go to the Lingwu Grand Canyon.
The strength is relatively high, and the number of monks above the sixth level in the Qi refining period is mostly about five. The number of teams with lower strength and below the sixth level in the Qi refining period is usually slightly larger, and the maximum number of people is usually not higher than nine. The specific number of people depends on the specific situation. The fewer people there are, the more agile they are, but they are weak and they are very troublesome when they encounter danger. The more people, the stronger the strength, but the team is easy to drag, whether it is looking for spiritual objects or killing demon beasts, it is not flexible and fast.
Ye Qin walked through a few taverns, and saw dozens of announcements recruiting monks, posted on the wall at the door, recruiting monks who were good at "fire system", "wind system" and so on, to go to a certain building, a certain residence, and talk in detail.
Of course, it was only a small group of monks who were now seeking to form a team. More monks have long had their own ranks. Many veterans have a fixed team and won't hire easily unless there is a gap due to unforeseen reasons.
Ye Qin didn't pay attention to these, but he had one thing in mind.
He had a very bad feeling.
When he was at the inn just now, when Bi Laoguo squinted at him, his eyes were very weird, sharp and sharp, and his mouth was shaking, as if he had a grudge against him, and as if he was jealous of something.
This made Ye Qin really incomprehensible, he had just seen his face, where did he offend this old man?!
And Feng Man, Wu Qin, one or two fair women, are not easy to mess with.
Feng Man is a dusty woman, her eyes are scratching, the water is rippling, and she is seductive. Ye Qin only glanced at her, and then didn't dare to look at it again, so as not to shake his mind. Wu Qinyi was cold and almost didn't say anything.
These two women obviously looked down on Ye Qin and Zhang Zhe, the five newcomers.
Ye Qin introduced himself and said that he used to be a member of a certain family, when he was an alchemist. Feng Man and Wu Qinyi finally changed color at this time, swept away the contempt, and began to show favor to him intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to find him for alchemy in the future.
But when Bi Laoguo looked at him, the jealousy and hatred became more and more serious.
Feng Man went behind the others' backs and quietly revealed to him why Bi Laoguo hated him.
"This Bi Laoguo is already a monk in his sixties and seventies, because of his poor qualifications, he has been cultivating for half a lifetime, and he has barely survived to the fourth layer of the Qi refining period, and his psychology is distorted and perverted, and he is very hostile to all very young monks. The younger he is, the more he hates it, and he has once killed newcomers. He used to look at our two sisters, and they also had this surname. Brother Ye only needs to let him know that you are not easy to mess with, let him be afraid of your strength, and he will not dare to really mess with you. If he really wants to trick you, our sisters will help you secretly. It's just that in the future, our sisters will do alchemy, and we will ask Brother Ye to help a lot. ”
Only then did Ye Qin understand why Bi Laoguo was so wrong when he looked at him.
But what could he say?
At first glance, Xu Qing was that kind of unusually confident, self-righteous person, and he couldn't hear any advice at all. Since Bi Laoguo is here, it is impossible to let Bi Laoguo leave.
Ye Qin shook his head.
With such a team of intriguing monks, he really couldn't feel at ease when he went on an adventure in the Spirit Mist Grand Canyon.
Xu Qing and Bi Laoguo are either self-righteous or jealous of newcomers. Feng Man and Wu Qinyi, the two sisters, saw that "Dan" opened their eyes, who knows what they will do at a critical time, and they can't rely on them.
The Zhang brothers and sisters, Xia Laohei, and Fan Qiansan are a few people, although they are reliable, but their strength is too weak to help much.
It seems that you have to rely on yourself.
Ye Qin stretched out his hand and touched a few pill bottles filled with two hundred pills of Dew Pill in his arms, sneered, and walked towards the crowded Fang Market. Prepare to buy some talismans, as well as spiritual weapons. He didn't believe that the old man could take advantage of him. If Old Man Bi really didn't know how to provoke him, he didn't kill anyone.
During this time, there were many monks in Xianyuan City, and the prices of all kinds of talismans and spiritual weapons were skyrocketing. But fortunately, the price of the elixir is also skyrocketing, and he is not at a loss.
In Fang City, there are more than 100 primary-level offensive "Fireball Talismans" and "Ice Pick Talismans", defensive "Vajra Covers", auxiliary "Divine Power Talismans" and other primary and lower-level rune papers, and a piece of spirit stone. There are even a few primary, intermediate-level, more than a dozen spirit stones and a rune paper.
also at a high price of nearly 60 low-grade spirit stones, and got a spiritual weapon, the sword in the palm, to defend himself. This sword is very small, and I don't know what material it is made of, the metal surname, black and not slippery, the sword body is very thin, it can be hidden in the palm, and it is not easy to be noticed. However, this is a trumpet spirit weapon, and its lethality is amazing
Ye Qin bought a lot of things, but it wasn't enough. He wanted to sell some Chen Sangxian wine that could quickly restore mana, but now was the time when the various sects were about to issue mission documents, and this thing was even rarer than spiritual weapons, and no one sold it at all.
He was picking up items in the city.
In the distance, in the lively Xianyuan Palace Square, a shocking noise suddenly sounded.
"Look, the people from the Ancient Artifact Gate are here!"
"And the paperwork of Qingdanmen has come down!"
"Quick, the people from the Moon Lack Sect are here!"
The various sects were a few days earlier than the expected release time, and on this day, this year's task documents were delivered to Xianyuan City, and the task documents were distributed in the huge square of the Xianyuan Palace.
Tens of thousands of monks in Xianyuan City flocked to the Xianyuan Palace Square. It's like a galloping horse, squeezing the single-plank bridge.
Ye Qin was startled when he saw such a big movement, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately flew to the Immortal Yuan Palace. Squeezed through the crowd of monks and came to the Immortal Yuan Hall Square, he finally obtained a volume of Qingdanmen's mission documents from the hands of a low-level disciple of the Qingdanmen.
After a quick glance, Qingdanmen's documents this year were exactly the same as last year's content, all of which were to collect more than thirty kinds of designated rare wild elixir materials.
After Ye Qin took the paperwork, he rushed directly to the inn.
In the inn, the other eight people had already rushed to the square at this moment to receive the task papers.
Everyone received the paperwork and returned to the inn to meet, and no one was left behind, so they set off excitedly, starting from the west gate of Xianyuan City and heading to the Lingwu Grand Canyon more than 200 miles away.
