Lianyi went out for training this time mainly to complete the mission of the sect. Although she is the daughter of the sect master, she is not an exception. Besides, there are some things that need to be cleared up, such as skills, life-threatening threads, spiritual marrow and other things.
As a former monk, she knows very well that the practice of a monk is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. This is a process of fighting against the sky. It can't be smooth sailing. Retreating to practice can also improve your cultivation. After all, you are not practicing. growth is faster.
So it took Lianyi three days to pass the experience test of Ancestor Qiao, get the self-defense magic weapon prepared by her father, and then she was put into a foundation building team, and she successfully left the sect. .
Lianyi did not cover up her cultivation this time, but she did cover up her face, transforming her face into that of an ordinary comely female cultivator, neither outstanding nor ugly, just the kind that would be popular among the public.
The team she joined is a four-person team. The leader is Qiao Hao (hao) who is in the late stage of foundation building. He is a descendant of the Qiao family branch. He is a Dharma cultivator and has good abilities. He often takes on some team leadership tasks. , considered a veteran, was a team specially selected by Qiao Qianshan.
The remaining three are: Zhao Mingyu, a sword cultivator in the early stage of foundation building; Xiao Shanhe, a law cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building; Sun Lanlan, a law cultivator in the middle stage of foundation construction. Together with Lianyi, there are exactly three men and two women.
Qiao Hao is relatively mature, he is already fifty years old, and he is considered a leader in the world of cultivation. He introduced Lianyi to everyone. This time Lianyi used the pseudonym Yilian, who is the general Her name is reversed.
"Hello, senior brothers and sisters, I am Elaine. I am going through the trial with you all this time. I hope you can teach me more."
Lianyi said politely.
“Senior Brother Qiao, her cultivation level is so low, is she following our team on missions?”
Sun Lanlan asked directly.
It’s not like they haven’t met such people before. They say they are teaming up with them, but when they encounter danger, they run faster than anyone else, but they are not willing to suffer when it comes to assigning mission points.
Before Qiao Hao opened his mouth, Xuanfeng came out of Lianyi's arms, said "meow" to Sun Lanlan, and bared his teeth at the other party to express his dissatisfaction.
Lianyi was not angry, and said with a smile:
"I am a physical cultivator, this is my spiritual beast whirlwind, he is a mutated black tiger, and he is now at the second level."
When Sun Lanlan saw the whirlwind, her eyes lit up. Those who could afford to raise spiritual beasts were either capable monks or had good luck.
Especially this one is a mutated black tiger. It looks only the size of a cat cub, but don’t underestimate his physical strength. At least he can fight back and forth with the monks in the late stage of foundation building. He is a powerful helper. .
“Elaine, your spirit beast is so cute.”
Sun Lanlan’s attitude made a 180-degree turn, and her voice was a little bit loud, which made the three people on the side All the male cultivators couldn't bear it.
Lianyi replied with a smile:
"Yeah, I also think my Tornado is cute, and he's not only cute, he's also very powerful. He will never hold anyone back."
"That's fine, you don't know, we picked it up before During a mission, a male cultivator joined our team. He turned out to be more pretentious than a female cultivator like me. The most important thing is that he was the first to run away when there was danger."
Sun Lanlan finally found an opportunity to complain, blah blah blah. Reminds me of that terrible mission.
Lianyi was also very cooperative. From time to time, she showed expressions like "It's actually like this", "It's so embarrassing for the male cultivator", and "This is how it should be". The two female cultivators chatted happily back and forth.
The remaining three looked at each other and threw out the flying boat. A group of five people boarded the flying boat and flew towards the mission destination, Bian Xiacheng.
After boarding the flying boat, Lianyi and Sun Lanlan had already established a preliminary friendship. Then Qiao Hao gave each of them a copy of the mission jade slip and explained it.
“What we received this time was a missing person mission, a message for help from the Lord of Bianxia City, because this city is far away from our Wuyun Sect and is a relatively remote city dependent on the sect.
< br>Before us, two teams in the early stage of foundation building have received this mission, but both teams have gone and never returned. The mission points have also increased, and the threshold for receiving the mission has also been raised, so I accepted this mission. You guys should take a look at the specific mission content first.”
At this time, Lianyi had already used his spiritual consciousness to scan the jade slip to understand the mission content. To put it simply, Bian Xiacheng doesn’t know since when, people have disappeared without any reason, and there is no pattern. They are both men and women, but they are mainly monks. As the number of missing people increases, the cultivation level of the missing monks is getting higher and higher. .
The Lord of Bian City didn't take it seriously at first, but then the situation became more and more serious. Some monks in the foundation-building stage even disappeared on the street. Only then did he panic and immediately asked the Wuyun Sect for help. Someone from the sect took over the task, and the results were one after another. There was no trace of either team.
City Lord Bian did not dare to hide it, and immediately sent a summons to ask for help from the sect again, so they had this mission.
"Senior Brother Qiao, did the two teams figure out how these people disappeared? Was there anything unusual before they disappeared? Who did they come into contact with?"
After reading this, Sun Lanlan asked Here came a series of three questions.
“No, according to the city lord, the people disappeared the day after he picked them up.”
Qiao Hao said helplessly.
“So we don’t have any useful information in our hands right now.”
Lianyi narrowed her eyes and said.
“It can be said that we have to rely on ourselves when entering Bianxia City.”
Qiao Hao nodded.
Zhao Mingyu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said:
“I think there is something wrong with the city lord.”
Xiao Shanhe had been meditating after reading it, and after hearing Zhao Mingyu’s words, he immediately echoed:
< br>"I think Junior Brother Zhao's suspicion is reasonable."
"In this case, it is best for the five of us not to act alone, and we must at least have companions with us every time we act."
As the captain, Qiao Hao must make timely decisions to avoid putting the entire team into danger.
“With the speed of our flying boat, it will take at least a month to reach Bianxia City. Everyone takes turns controlling the flying boat and recharging their energy to cope with emergencies.”
“Yes, Senior Brother Qiao. ”
No one has any objections. This is a routine operation for a team that goes out to do missions. However, this time Ripple is a strange flower. After flying in the airship for five days, she directly broke through and was promoted from the early stage of foundation building. It’s the middle stage of foundation building.
No one was too surprised. At first glance, they knew that the little girl had reached the critical point of breakthrough. They lowered the flying boat and continued to move forward after Ripples broke through.
Then the day before arriving at Bian Xiacheng, Ripple broke through again and entered the late stage of foundation building in one fell swoop. Sun Lanlan and others were a little confused. Is it so easy to advance?
Only Qiao Hao knew that this girl of her clan must have had the opportunity to break through so smoothly. She didn’t see that she used spirit stones along the way to practice instead of meditating and absorbing like they did. Reiki.
"Elaine, are you hiding your cultivation?"
Sun Lanlan asked straightforwardly.
“No! (I just covered my face)
However, I took a spirit fruit before I set off. I guess the spiritual energy in the spirit fruit was not completely absorbed by me. Now that it has been absorbed, and I used spiritual stones to practice, I was able to advance smoothly. ”
