On this day, several brilliant streams of light flew out from the depths of the steep mountains. They circled in the air and then rushed downwards.

The white mist somewhere suddenly changed, and a middle-aged man stepped out from it. He had a somewhat elegant face and the air of a scholar. He smiled and bowed, saying:
"Brother Zuo, Madam Lu, Fellow Daoist Gui Wu, Young Master Wei, you have arrived just in time. Please come into my humble abode and sit down first."

Four streams of light dispersed and concealed each other, namely a man with a hideous body, a woman with lingering charm, an old man wearing clothes embroidered with centipede patterns, and a young monk with a noble temperament.

Their cultivation levels range from the middle to late stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and their foundations do not look frivolous, and it is obvious that they have been polished with great effort.

"Mr. Layman will not go in with us, but has he invited any distinguished guests?" Mrs. Lu said with a smile.

Lay Buddhist Liu Zhan responded: "He is not an honored guest. It's just that this fellow Taoist is attending a secret meeting in Tianyuan City for the first time. I am worried that he might make mistakes, so I have to be more careful."

"Oh, there are newcomers participating in this secret meeting in Tianyuan City. That's really rare." The cultivator named Zuo responded with a surprised look on his face.

Young Master Wei gently waved his folding fan and said with a somewhat detached look, "Let the layman take care of the matter of waiting for the guests. We will wait in the cave."

After saying this, the other three did not object and disappeared into the white mist one after another.

After a few people entered, Mr. Liu Zhan's smile faded slightly, and he looked into the distance, waiting for the arrival of the last guest.

The other party was only at the initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. If it weren't for his good friend Xiang Zhili's strong recommendation, he really wouldn't have wanted to agree.

After all, the quality of the secret meetings must be guaranteed so that they can continuously attract useful and capable monks to participate and exchange valuable experiences.

Suddenly, a streak of colorful light came flying at a high speed. The originally faint light spot turned into a handsome figure falling down after a few breaths.

What a fast escape speed!

Mr. Liu Zhan was surprised. Based on the flying speed that the person in front of him had just displayed, he might not be able to catch up even if he tried his best. Then he smiled and said:

"You are the Taoist friend Qi Yuan whom I recommended to you, right? I am Lay Buddhist Liu Zhan, the organizer of the secret meeting."

"That's right, thank you for your courtesy, sir." Qi Yuan looked at the person in front of him and bowed with a warm expression.

Tianyun Mountain is one of the spiritual veins of Tianyuan City. The concentration of spiritual energy there is second only to the Cuilong Mountains, so there are also many gods-transforming monks practicing here.

Although Mr. Liu Zhan is in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he has been practicing talismans since he was young and has very rich experience. He also used the contributions he earned to seek advice from an elder in the Elder Council who specialized in talismans.

Senior Brother Xiang was really thoughtful and secured such a high-quality secret meeting for him.

"I have occasionally heard of Fellow Daoist Qi's reputation. He has been appointed captain of the Qingming Guard just one year after ascending to the spiritual world. He has a bright future ahead of him." Mr. Liu Zhan praised calmly.

Qi Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled and said, "It is only because of the trust of the elders that I can shoulder this important task."

"Well, I have great respect for the elders of Tianyuan City. There are already fellow Taoists waiting inside. Let's go in and talk." Mr. Liu Zhan stretched out his hand, motioning the other party to go first.

Qi Yuan took half a step, then pulled Mr. Liu Zhan to walk with him, and the two chatted as they walked through the white fog.

The scene in front of me suddenly changed, and I entered a cave directly. The space was extremely spacious, and the mountain was inlaid with lighting gems all around.

There were seven or eight cushions placed in the hall, and four people were already sitting on them.

The moment Qi Yuan stepped in, they all turned their eyes and scrutinized him thoroughly, not leaving out a single part of his body.

However, he noticed that Qi Yuan's cultivation was quite low, so he did not take it too seriously and greeted him in a very bland tone.

In response, Mr. Liu Zhan changed the subject and did not let the atmosphere cool down.

This trip was only for spiritual enlightenment and talisman experience. Qi Yuan was basically indifferent to other things. He was worried that they would not be able to produce anything useful.

Mr. Liu Zhan sat cross-legged on the cushion in the right position, his face solemn, and said in a deep voice: "You all have already met each other, and I will not waste time. The secret meeting will begin immediately. As usual, the first step is to practice and gain insights..." Among those present, except Qi Yuan who was in the early stage of Spirit Transformation, the rest of the cultivators were in the middle stage of Spirit Transformation or above, so when they exchanged their insights on practice, they spoke very clearly, which often triggered deep thinking.

A slightly noisy sound continued to echo in the hall of the cave, rarely interrupted.

Qi Yuan mainly focused on absorbing and concentrating on listening to the discussions of Mr. Liu Zhan and others. He gained a lot and solved many of the problems he had encountered in his previous practice.

Eliminate some remaining difficulties to make the magic formula run more smoothly.

Occasionally I would ask them a question or two and ask them to help me solve them.

Although his attitude was not very enthusiastic, at least he did not completely ignore it.

After half a day of sharing insights on practice, the next step is the experience of talismans.

Qi Yuan still regards gaining a lot of experience as his primary goal, and will only speak up when he encounters a problem that is difficult to solve.

The doubts that I had previously had while studying the talisman classics were all resolved one by one, and my knowledge of talismans gradually increased.

The exchange of experience on talismans also takes half a day.

When the two are finished, it is time for the final exchange of treasures.

Qi Yuan suffered a little loss in this regard, and deliberately took out a few decent treasures to exchange with Mr. Liu Zhan and others in exchange for some treasures of slightly lower value.

Having absorbed so many benefits for no reason before, it’s time to let some blood flow to clear the grudges in several people’s hearts.

Of course, the value of the treasure must be carefully considered.

Sure enough, after Mr. Liu Zhan and the others obtained some good treasures from Qi Yuan, they all showed a smile and their eyes looked at people much softer.

Using interests to pave the way is often the most effective.

The secret meeting is over.

Qi Yuan returned to the hall of Team B 61 and carefully digested the experience he had memorized in his mind. He did not go out for five days.

Then he continued to attend the secret meeting recommended by Xiang Zhili, which lasted for a month.

During this period, I met several fellow Taoists who were good to talk to.

A small three-story attic in Tianyuan City.

Qi Yuan was wearing a sky blue robe, his face was unusually calm beneath his sword-like brows, and he slowly flew to the front of the attic.

This secret meeting was held in the attic.

"Haha, Brother Qi, we meet again." A middle-aged monk dressed as a swordsman laughed heartily.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan turned around and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Shen, are you also here to attend the secret meeting of Master Qingjun?"

"Master Qingjun majors in swordsmanship. How can I miss this good opportunity?" The swordsman named Shen said with a longing look on his face.

Suddenly, another shrill voice came: "Is it you Qi Yuan? I had a very pleasant conversation with you in the secret meeting not long ago, and I have always wanted to learn from you again."

A man with rouge and powder on his face walked over with a mysterious smile.

When Qi Yuan heard this, three black lines appeared on his forehead, and he thought about turning around and leaving immediately. (End of this chapter)
