Qingyang Mountain, skyscraper cliff.
"Oh, Zhou Qing has already made a breakthrough?"
The beautiful young woman in the cave showed a hint of surprise.
Yesterday, she met many senior leaders of the war group to discuss the matter of recruiting Zhou Qing, and soon a joint decision was reached. She also made relevant preparations and paid attention to the news from Qingzhuyuan at any time.
But she didn't expect that Zhou Qing would make a breakthrough today after settling the matter yesterday, which was a little caught off guard.
"It seems that Zhou Qing's talent is even better than I expected!"
Thinking of this, she felt more and more satisfied, and at the same time she got up and walked out.
Among the seven battle groups, she was definitely the first to receive news from Qingzhuyuan, so of course she had to seize the opportunity and be one step ahead.
And at the same time.
Hantan Courtyard, in a small double-story attic.
"Qingzhuyuan...Zhou Qing?"
A handsome young man wearing brocade clothes and eyebrows like willow leaves sat cross-legged on the couch on the first floor of the attic, frowning slightly.
"This person's talent is even better than mine."
In Li Chen's heart, he knew very well how much he weighed.
He worked hard for his future and swallowed three pulse-opening pills every day, which enabled him to improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds.
When it comes to immortal talent, compared with Liu Songren, Zhao Kai, Huang Delun and other aristocratic families of the same origin, he is only between equals, or even slightly inferior.
Zhou Qing of Qingzhuyuan most likely only swallowed one pulse-opening pill every day, but he broke through to the fourth level only two days later than him. His talent was naturally much better than his.
"This Zhou Qing is so outstanding, and now his reputation is gradually increasing, which will also hinder my plan..."
Li Chen's mind was spinning and he muttered silently:
"But the inside story of this is probably unknown to others except the aristocratic family circle."
"At least in the eyes of tens of thousands of outer sect disciples, I am still number one in the outer sect in the same year, and Zhou Qing is only second."
"Even if you compare me and him secretly, I am still better!"
When he thought of this, he felt at ease.
His plan is progressing steadily. With the title of No. 1 in the outer sect, he has joined one of the seven war groups and signed relevant legal contracts. Even if it is difficult to fool him for too long, he has made a lot of money.
The fame he worked so hard for has brought him tangible benefits.
And next, he will continue to use the influence of this name to earn more benefits for himself, hoping to reach the Qifu realm as soon as possible and truly control his own destiny.
"Don't worry, Zhou Qing can't disrupt my plan yet."
Li Chen was calm and stopped paying attention to this matter for the time being.
Since Zhou Qing could not have much influence on his plan, given his character, he would not take the initiative to provoke the other party or offend an immortal talent.
…………
Inside the Green Bamboo Courtyard.
After leaving the podium, Zhou Qing rarely went to the Bamboo Sea, but returned to his home.
"Senior Brother Zhou...Senior Brother Zhou."
Liu Songran also came back, said hello awkwardly, and then fled back to his room.
Naturally, he didn't have to chop the spiritual bamboos. Li Yuanhui and Zhang Liang would bear the daily share for him, and they would practice with him when they came back in the afternoon, otherwise he wouldn't be so willing to sprinkle the spiritual stones.
Zhou Qing ignored him and sat in the room, as if waiting for someone.
"The people of the Seventh Great Regiment should take action soon after hearing the news of my breakthrough."
In Zhou Qing's heart, thoughts surged rapidly:
"The first one to come should most likely be a war group that is closely related to the Liu family."
The disciples of the twelve outer sects must rely on their own hands to fight and struggle if they want to achieve goals such as increasing their cultivation, improving their combat power, purchasing magic weapons, being promoted to the inner sect, etc.
The General Affairs Hall is the top priority.
For all matters inside and outside Chunyang Immortal Sect, as long as manpower can be used, most of them can see corresponding tasks in the General Affairs Hall.
Only by accepting tasks can you receive a steady stream of spiritual stones, Taoist skills and other rewards. With these abundant nutrients, you can push yourself forward and become stronger step by step.
In the end, only those disciples with the strongest talents, strength, luck, and character can be promoted to the inner sect and be truly cultivated by the upper echelons of the sect.
There is nothing better than this.
Completing the tasks of the General Affairs Hall, especially the more dangerous dispatch tasks, requires teammates.
Take the demon-slaying mission with the highest risk and the richest reward as an example. You need to be alert at all times and walk on the edge of life and death. If you go to kill the demon alone, it will be difficult for a strong person to sustain it for a long time.
At critical moments, having a teammate who can support you and depend on you for life and death will not simply double your efficiency, but will increase it at least several times compared to performing tasks alone.
therefore--
For disciples who accept tasks in the General Affairs Hall, teamwork is the absolute mainstream. There are teams of varying sizes among the twelve outer sect courtyards and even the inner sect disciples.
Among the many teams, the strongest and largest is the "Seven Great Regiments".
Each of these seven war groups has a history of at least hundreds of years. They have many strong men and profound foundations. They are supported by deacons and even elders from three palaces and six halls, and they are superior to other teams.
With Zhou Qing's amazing talent, he will almost certainly be recruited by the seven major groups. It's just a matter of which one to join.
"It's nice to have the shade with your back against the big tree."
Zhou Qing also has his own plans in his heart:
"The Seven Legions have a long history and have relatively complete training plans for new talents."
"If I join a certain war group, at least in the early stage, I don't have to bear any cost. Only when I truly grow up will I need to contribute to the war group."
Why can the Seven Great Legions remain standing?
The fundamental reason is that generations of battle group members are eventually promoted to inner disciples, and even become deacons and elders. After reaching high positions, they then feed back to the battle group, forming a virtuous cycle.
A single thread cannot make a thread, and a single step cannot make a forest. For Zhou Qing at this stage, joining the battle group is the best choice.
Of course, he also knew very well that the war group recruited and trained him and devoted various resources in order to obtain greater rewards in the future.
But this is a natural and mutually beneficial process, and Zhou Qing will naturally not reject it.
"Huh? It came so fast!"
After Zhou Qing waited for a while, his expression suddenly changed and he noticed someone was coming.
"Brother Zhou!"
A familiar laughter reached Zhou Qing's ears.
Zhou Qing stood up and went out to greet him, and saw Liu Songren accompanying a beautiful young woman to the small courtyard.
"This should also be a member of the Shanyin Liu family..."
Zhou Qing's expression moved slightly, and he found that the young woman's eyebrows were fifty-six times similar to Liu Songren's.
"Brother Zhou, let me introduce you."
Liu Songren smiled brightly and said:
"This is my aunt Liu Yuxue, an outer disciple of Baicao Academy. She is now one of the 'Top Ten Leaders' of the Tianhong Battle Group with a perfect cultivation level."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he was immediately moved and said:
"It turns out to be Senior Sister Liu, Zhou Qing is polite."
As one of the ten leaders of the Rainbow Chapter, he is definitely a senior member of the Chapter and enjoys decision-making power.
Looking at the tens of thousands of disciples in the entire twelve outer sect courtyards, this man is a strong man, a big shot, and one of the monks closest to the Qifu realm.
"Are you Junior Brother Zhou? It's better to meet him than to be famous!"
Liu Yuxue smiled slightly.
"Please, both of you."
Zhou Qing invited the two of them into the only hall in the small courtyard and showed a trace of apology:
"Junior brother, this place is very simple, but there is nothing to entertain Brother Liu and Senior Sister, which made the two distinguished guests laugh."
"Junior brother, where are you?"
Liu Yuxue's smile did not diminish and she said:
"It's just Senior Sister who visited us unintentionally and disturbed Junior Brother."
After a few polite words, the two of them took their seats.
After chatting for a few words, Liu Yuxue stopped wasting time and stated her intention directly:
"Senior sister is here on behalf of the Rainbow Battle Group, and would like to invite you, Junior Brother Zhou, to join our battle group."
As she spoke, she took out a pamphlet from her sleeve and handed it to Zhou Qing, signaling:
"This is the training plan formulated for Junior Brother Zhou after discussions with the senior leaders of our battle group. It lists various resources and terms."
"After Junior Brother Zhou has reviewed it, if you have any objections to any of the items, you can just raise them, and I will modify them as appropriate on behalf of the senior management of the group."
"good."
Zhou Qing nodded, took the booklet, and read it carefully.
"Good guy! What a generous act!"
After he carefully read it word by word, he couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder in his heart.
Although he had already expected the wealth of the Seventh Battle Group, the conditions offered by the Rainbow Battle Group still made him feel overwhelmed.
The terms clearly state:
If Zhou Qing is willing to join the Rainbow Battle Group, he can receive two hundred spirit stones and three bottles of Vein Opening Pill every month - equivalent to resource support of five hundred spirit stones every month.
The training plan lasts for two years, during which he does not need to do anything for the war group. If he needs help in solving puzzles and practicing spells, the Rainbow Chapter will also send high-level members for guidance.
And if he breaks through to the seventh level of opening pulses within two years, the remaining training resources within the period will be released to him.
besides:
As long as he joins the Rainbow Chapter, he can immediately get a three-piece set of high-grade magic weapon-level "Red Sun Pearl", "Fire Lin Shield" and "Flying Fire Cloud".
The top management of the Rainbow Chapter even booked a high-grade cave for him in a skyscraper cliff in advance, waiting for him to move there. The rent for the first two years was paid for by the Chapter in advance.
"Two years of resources, totaling 12,000 spirit stones!"
"The price of a three-piece set of high-grade magical instruments in Baigongtang is at least five thousand spiritual stones! The annual rent of a high-grade cave in Motian Cliff also costs one thousand spiritual stones."
"In order to recruit me, the Rainbow Battle Group was willing to spend a lot of money. The investment in spiritual stones alone was nearly 20,000..."
Zhou Qing had many thoughts in his mind and kept thinking about it.
Of course, such favorable conditions come at a price.
The terms clearly stated that Zhou Qing could not betray the Rainbow Chapter or harm the interests of the Chapter. After breaking through to the seventh level of Kaimai, he would officially contribute to the Chapter.
Every mission he takes and performs in the General Affairs Hall in the future needs to be reported. The senior leaders of the battle group have the right to veto his tasks to avoid conflicts with the interests of the battle group.
On weekdays, he is required to obey the orders of the higher-ups of the battle group. At critical moments, he must respond to recruitment and participate in the unified actions of the battle group. He must not refuse. Of course, the higher-ups of the battle group will not issue a death order, otherwise he has the right to refuse. .
In response to this last point, there are several details attached to the terms, which are obviously to prevent power struggles within the war group.
Considering that the seven war groups have at least hundreds of years of history, the Rainbow Chapter has probably suffered a loss in this regard before, so the regulations are very detailed and take into account various possibilities to avoid internal fighting from damaging the overall interests of the war group to the greatest extent. .
"The Rainbow Battle Group is very sincere, but it makes my junior brother extremely frightened."
Zhou Qing put away the pamphlet and showed a smile.
Frankly speaking, the conditions offered by the Rainbow Battle Group were already very high, exceeding his prior expectations.
As for those restrictions, they are actually only restrictions on the general direction and code of conduct. There are no specific rules and regulations, and overall they are still very loose.
Not to mention:
When he becomes one of the top leaders of the war group and enjoys decision-making power in the future, these restrictions will become even more dispensable.
"Junior brother can feel the sincerity of the battle group, then senior sister, my trip is not in vain."
Liu Yuxue saw Zhou Qing's intention and immediately struck while the iron was hot:
"How about it, Junior Brother Zhou? Do you want to join our Rainbow Battle Group?"
"I have brought the Dharma Deed. If Junior Brother agrees, we can sign the Dharma Deed now!"
