"If Junior Brother Qi agrees to this, then Senior Brother's chances of success will increase by more than 30%." Xiang Zhili continued happily:
"That spiritual medicine grows in the Wall Grudge Pond, which is close to the territory of the Wood Clan. There are also many precious spiritual herbs hidden nearby. When the time comes, the three of us will divide it up together. We will definitely not return empty-handed."

"The Wood Clan? Could this be a trap set by the Mu Clan, deliberately trapping people in it so that they can catch them in the trap?" Qi Yuan knew very well that the cultivators of the Mu Clan were not easy to mess with, so he asked back.

Xiang Zhili smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Qi, don't worry. The spiritual medicine there is suspected to be secretly planted by the descendants of a big boss of the Wood Clan. Brother has been secretly observing for ten years and has never found any cultivators in the Void Refining Stage entering or leaving. As long as we are quick enough, we can definitely get away safely."

"Hehe, this old man and Old Ghost Xiang have already worked out the detailed route and plan. All we need is a trustworthy and powerful fellow Taoist to join us and help." Old Monster Feng said with a smile.

Xiang Zhili continued, "That's true. In this spiritual world, it's hard for me to trust outsiders. I just happened to meet Junior Brother Qi, so I specially invited you to help me in order to keep the wealth within the family."

Two old guys.

I guess it’s because his cultivation level is relatively low, so anything that happens in the middle can be easily controlled?
Of course, there may also be an element of trust among people from the same world.

Qi Yuan muttered to himself, then smiled and said, "Junior brother, the mission is approaching. If we set off now, we won't have time to help."

"There is no rush for this matter. Brother, you need to continue to think about and perfect some details. Once you complete the task assigned by Tianyuan City, we can almost set off." Xiang Zhili said in a deep voice.

After all, if you don’t perfect the plan to obtain the Wood Clan’s elixir, it will easily lead to a huge risk of death.

Qi Yuan's eyes were determined, and he said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for your message when the time comes."

Afterwards, they chatted for a while, exchanged the addresses of the caves in Tianyuan City, and then left separately.

During the flight, Old Monster Feng said, "Old Ghost, is your Junior Brother reliable? Even if our plan is perfect, we can't do anything if we don't have enough strength. You didn't pull Qi Yuan in because he has a low level of cultivation and you want to get less benefits, right?"

"You old fool, you are so blind. My junior brother Qi's methods are amazing. Even if the two of us join forces, we may not be able to defeat him." Xiang Zhili cursed and instantly accelerated his flight.

Old Monster Feng suffered a loss and chased after him with an unhappy look on his face, ready to demand back his money verbally.

On the other side, Qi Yuan used the teleportation array to leave Tianyuan City and quickly rushed to the spiritual land. With the spiritual body of Kunpeng, his escape speed was greatly accelerated.

If he used his spirit body at full speed, even a late-stage Spiritual Transformation cultivator might not be able to touch him, so the one-way trip time was suddenly shortened to nearly a day.

After checking the flags of the spiritual land formation, Qi Yuan found only traces of low-level monsters breaking in, and no signs of high-level cultivators sneaking in, so he rushed back to Tianyuan City with peace of mind.

The main hall of Team B 61.

Because the Elder Council had not conveyed any transfer orders, Qi Yuan could only return to the team as planned. He thought about the fact that two of his original team's Divine Transformation cultivators had died and the team leader Wu Yunzhong was still in custody.

I wonder who will be sent to take over the team?
"Fellow Daoist Qi..." Xu Ke greeted with a smile when he saw someone stepping into the hall.

In the last mission, except Qi Yuan who received the reward, the other teammates either died or were punished.

Instantly, Qi Yuan's shining points were made even more dazzling.

Qi Yuan responded with a warm face and a cupped hand: "Fellow Daoist Xu..."

Turning his eyes, he found Li Zhu'er standing next to a wooden pillar. Her charming face looked a little haggard, and her beauty made people feel pity for her.

"Fellow Daoist Li!"

Li Zhuer's beautiful crystal eyes flashed under her dark eyebrows. She glanced at Qi Yuan briefly. Thinking of her husband's situation and the traces of a man, she naturally didn't want to respond.

"Haha, Sister Zhu'er may have gone through an overtrain in her training. Fellow Daoist Qi, you don't have to mind it. Please take a seat first." Xu Ke walked over with an enthusiastic look on his face and guided the other party to sit down.

So much time has passed, they more or less know that Qi Yuan has the support of Taiyi Sect behind him, so they are even more afraid to offend him.

Qi Yuan smiled, sat down generously, and then closed his eyes to rest, waiting for the Elders' Council to send someone over.

Team B61 is about to be assigned a mission. If the higher-ups wanted to disband the team, they would have done so long ago. Why wait until the last day?
quite a while.

Four figures suddenly flashed into the hall. The square-faced cultivator in the lead was Tianyuan Wei Louzhi, and behind him were three cultivators in the God Transformation Stage.

Among them there is a cultivator whose aura has reached the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

nun?

Qi Yuan was slightly surprised but his expression remained calm. He wondered if the elders would let a nun be the captain?
It is not impossible if the strength meets the requirements...

After a quick look, I saw that the nun was wearing gray and white Zen robes. Her figure was definitely the best among female practitioners. She had a pretty face and a bright bald head.

The other two were mid-stage Jindan cultivators: an old woman with spots on her face and a red-haired young man with very thin lips.

"Hello, senior." Qi Yuan stood up first and said.

Li Zhuer and Xu Ke were half a step slower.

Lou Zhiqing said "hmm", walked through the crowd, stood in the front, and said solemnly: "These three Divine Transformation cultivators will join your team from today. You should cooperate with us in the future and don't repeat the same mistakes."

"Yes!"

Xu Ke and the other man responded.

Lou Zhi showed a little satisfaction on his face, turned his eyes and said, "Qi Yuan, according to the order issued by the Elders Council, you will serve as the captain from now on."

When Xu Ke heard this, his face froze for a moment.

Li Zhuer's pink little mouth was slightly opened, covered with her bare hands, and her charming eyes reflected deep surprise.

The nun seemed to have known the result already, and her beautiful face kept her brows down.

The spotted old woman and the red-haired young man showed their dissatisfaction and snorted coldly.

"Senior, is there a misunderstanding here? I am only at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation stage. How can I be worthy of such an important task?" Qi Yuan thought for a moment and refused with a bow.

This couldn't be a fight between the elders, and he was about to get involved?
Lou Zhi said dignifiedly: "This is the result of the discussion of the elders. How dare you question it? Besides, the order has been issued. You just need to do it. There is no need to question it."

"This is Master Shuiyue's favorite disciple Jingzhu. He was specially arranged to help you and make up for the lack of a late stage of Spiritual Transformation."

Nun Jingzhu silently chanted a Buddhist name, suddenly opened her shining eyes, looked over calmly, and said softly: "I am here on the orders of the elders to help Fellow Daoist Qi manage Team B 61."

At this point, Qi Yuan had nothing more to say and immediately agreed.

With his magical powers, it is more than enough for him to lead a Qingming team, and there is no need to worry about them causing any trouble.

He was afraid that there was some hidden conspiracy, information that he couldn't understand.

Lou Zhi said: "In the past, Team 61 was the team that went to the Savage World to pick up the team. Now we have enough personnel and a captain, so the mission is handed over to Captain Qi."

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and shot it over.

Qi Yuan had been practicing for so long that he was prepared for any unexpected situations, so he grabbed the jade slip with one hand.

At present, he would take things one step at a time and complete the task first. If the situation later was not right, he would immediately run away from Tianyuan City. The internal fighting between the human race in the spirit world was not light, and he would be used as cannon fodder if he was not careful.

The tasks assigned to him by the Elders' Council had been completed, and Lou Zhi did not stay long. He gave a few words of encouragement and then disappeared.

Qi Yuan and others were the only ones in the hall.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Qi, on being promoted to team leader." Having cultivated to this level, Xu Ke naturally had the ability to judge people by their abilities.

Li Zhuer's eyes were quite complicated, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Nun Jingzhu was still standing by, with her brows lowered and chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

The remaining spotted old woman and red-haired young man pretended not to see anything.

Qi Yuan held the task jade slip in his hand, and his deep eyes under his sword-like brows quickly scanned the expressions of the crowd. He knew that if he didn't subdue these unruly Divine Transformation monks, he would be in trouble.

I'm afraid that he will get into trouble during the mission.

Because they are able to cultivate to this level, they have more or less enjoyed being praised and flattered by others.

"Qi is a humble person, but I have been appointed as the captain of the Qingming Guard Squadron. I see that you are all talented people out there, so I'm sure you are somewhat dissatisfied with the decision."

"Then let me stand here. I will let you fight for ten moves. If you show any sign of moving, I will resign as captain immediately."

"This is an order from the Elders' Council. Are you qualified to object?" the red-haired young man said sarcastically.

Qi Yuan's expression darkened, and he said, "This is not something you should consider. It is better to think about forcing Qi to retreat within ten moves."

If you don't have authority, there will be endless troubles.

"How dare a person in the early stage of transformation to be so arrogant? It's not like he hasn't killed anyone before."

The red-haired young man's temperament changed, suddenly turning into a cold and murderous aura. His black pupils flashed, and strange rays of light flickered out, containing some kind of confusing power.

A red fluorescent light burst out before their eyes, and a small and exquisite dark red short cone appeared out of thin air. In an instant, everyone's skin felt a sharp tingling sensation.

Is it pupil technique?
Qi Yuan stared into the red young man's pupils, and his mind and soul soon felt drowsy. However, he had the soul-nourishing spiritual body to protect him, and was not affected at all.

A cool feeling like mint spread throughout the body, immediately sweeping away the drowsiness.

Then, he noticed a sharp red light coming at him. He had enough time to dodge, but he couldn't go back on his promise.

A streak of colorful light quickly escaped from the body and turned into a small tower with flowing light in the blink of an eye. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth were lingering around it.

With a clang, the Five Elements Futian Tower expanded to four or five meters in size, directly covering Qi Yuan's figure.

boom!
The blood cone pierced the Five Elements Futian Tower fiercely, bursting out with brilliant light.

Qi Yuan was inside the tower and everything was intact.

Everyone saw the red-haired young man use strange pupil techniques and powerful blood cones as soon as he made a move.

I thought the attack would be successful, but I didn't expect that it didn't even shake Qi Yuan's defense at all.

The red-haired young man's expression suddenly became as gloomy as water. How could he feel good when he lost face in front of so many cultivators of the same level?

The purpose of cultivating immortality is not only to pursue immortality, but also to become superior to others and enjoy endless worship.

The next moment, the red-haired young man shook off a yellow talisman, which ignited without fire. A giant black hand emerged from the void, carrying a strong aura.

Even the nun Jingzhu, who was in the late stage of transformation, looked cautious, which showed that the power of the talisman was indeed extraordinary.

"Troll Talisman? Fellow Daoist Ding is willing to sacrifice even this. It seems that he is very unconvinced." The spotted old woman murmured in a low voice, a trace of regret flashing across her wrinkled face.

If she takes the lead, wouldn't all the glory fall on her?
The spotted old woman believed that she had some powerful means of self-defense, and even if Qi Yuan was an ascended monk, she could repel him within ten moves.

Qi Yuan looked at the black hand that was coming at him with great force, his expression calm. With a thought, all the small bells on the Five Elements Futian Tower began to shake.

The clear sound of bells filled the hall and reached the ears of every monk.

He used the Chaos Cauldron to repair his natal magic weapon and kept it in his body to nourish it for hundreds of years. The damage left by Yin Yue when she left had long been healed. Thanks to his breakthrough in cultivation, he had more than enough mana to nourish it.

Although the power has not increased abnormally, it is not weak either.

"Oh no, there's something strange about the bell sound." Nun Jingzhu's expression changed slightly, and the Buddha's light emanated from her Zen robe like a tide, tightly protecting her whole body.

Others followed suit and used their treasures to defend themselves.

The red-haired young man's vision was dazed for a moment. He had to distract himself to sacrifice the defensive treasure, but his mind that was controlling the talisman was severely slowed down.

That would leave a huge loophole for others.

Sure enough, the yellow bead on top of the Five Elements Futian Tower suddenly shook out a circle of colorful ripples, which quickly swept away the black giant hand and penetrated through it.

There was a crackling sound from the black giant hand, and spider-like cracks were all over it in an instant. Then it exploded with a loud bang and turned into points of spiritual light that fell down.

Everyone stared over, but Qi Yuan was still standing still in the tower, not taking a single step back.

"That's three moves, fellow Daoist, feel free to use whatever skills you have." Qi Yuan said confidently.

The red-haired young man was shocked and angry when he heard this. He had never met an ascended cultivator who was so abnormal. He used pupil techniques, low-level spiritual treasures, and talismans one after another, but failed to achieve any results at all.

When the news gets out, he, a middle-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, was fighting against an early-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator and couldn't even force the other party to retreat even a single step.

How can I have the face to stay in Tianyuan City then?

"What's the point of hiding in the defensive tower? Come out and fight me." The red-haired young man thought that Qi Yuan's defense might be quite powerful, so he changed direction.

Qi Yuan looked slightly surprised, and said sympathetically: "Are you sure you want me to fight you head-on? Qi advises you to think it over carefully."

Xu Ke's eyes turned, and he had a premonition in his heart. He quietly took a few steps back and took the initiative to move away from them.

Li Zhuer's face changed. The man's power was already deeply rooted in her heart. She knew that Qi Yuan was not as simple as he seemed, and she secretly kept her distance.

Nun Jingzhu keenly noticed the movements of the two people from the corner of her eyes, and kept a certain distance without making any expression.

Suddenly, hundreds of green cold lotuses appeared out of thin air and blasted towards the red-haired young man from all directions. The horrifying cold air instantly froze the hall into an ice sculpture.

Deep fear shone in the eyes of the red-haired young man. His figure was submerged under the green cold lotus and was frozen into a human-shaped popsicle.

The spotted old woman was not spared either, and she was frantically trying to dispel the terrifying cold air, looking quite embarrassed. (End of this chapter)
