The residence of the head of the main peak.
The then head of the Xuanyu Sect, Huan Guangzhen, held a transmission talisman in his hand, and his normally relaxed brows wrinkled in a rare way.
The Sword Sect abandoned its disciples, but he was the hero who found the heart of a thousand-year-old tree? In addition, this disciple was brought to Jianzong by Junior Brother Yunyang before he lost his memory. It is said that he was originally a disciple who had not yet entered the Xuanyu Sect?
What is so special about Liu Qingyan!
Sect Leader Huan Guang was just checking the origins of this group of new disciples as a matter of routine. The sect valued the origins and backgrounds of the disciples in the sect very much.
A few days ago, a disciple came to report that an outer disciple named Liu Qingyan had a different identity. He immediately sent the sect's hidden forces to step up the investigation. Although he has obtained the answer, he is still puzzled.
Since he was a meritorious person, why did the Sword Sect expel him from the sect?
This man was actually saved by that person, why didn't he just take him back instead of leaving him in the forest not far from the sect?
Head Huan Guang thought carefully for a moment, then took out another transmission talisman, moved his lips slightly, and loosened his fingertips, he saw a light yellow light flashing past, and the transmission talisman was heading towards a certain mountain peak in the sect.
Looking at the direction where the transmission talisman disappeared, Master Huan Guang narrowed his eyes slightly. If this disciple was related to him, he could not deal with it at will.
Between making talismans and listening to lectures, Liu Qingyan did not forget about his swordsmanship and cultivation.
In the early morning of this morning, before the sun had risen, the peach tree in the courtyard, which looked a little older, was swaying melodiously in the morning breeze, shaking off bursts of petals as its waist swayed.
Just after Liu Qingyan finished practicing his sword swings ten thousand times a day, and was about to go back to the house, he felt someone touched the defensive array of the small courtyard. He put away his silver sword, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
After putting away the defensive array, the originally hazy scene immediately became clear. Standing outside the door was actually the eighth-level Qi-training female cultivator named Ning Min who had sneak-attacked him in the arena that day.
Seeing the person coming, Liu Qingyan was startled: "Senior Sister Ning has been looking for me this morning. What do you mean?" Although they are both at the eighth level of qi training, Ning Min is older than him, so she deserves to be called "Senior Sister".
But Ning Min smiled slightly, and her delicate face immediately came to life: "Since you call me Senior Sister, then I will ask you to call you Junior Brother Liu. You and I are in the same batch, and we are assigned to the same peak. It’s considered fate, so we should keep in touch.”
Seeing that Liu Qingyan was a little stunned, Ning Min said again: "Junior brother Liu, shouldn't he still blame senior sister for the sneak attack that day?"
Liu Qingyan didn't interact with many people, but he was not a person who didn't understand the world. He immediately smiled and said in a good-natured manner: "Senior Sister Ning said that this matter is due to Junior Brother's negligence. As for the matters in the ring, everyone has to rely on their abilities in fighting. , what senior sister did did not violate the rules."
Ning Min breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good. Senior sister didn't want to use that method at first. It was really because Junior Brother Liu was too powerful. Later I saw that Junior Brother could even compete with the Qi Dzogchen Physical Cultivation. , Senior Sister feels that her loss is not unjust."
Liu Qingyan was naturally modest: "It's just a fluke."
After a few words of concession, Ning Min got to the point: "I came to see Junior Brother Liu this time because I really have something to entrust. Junior Brother also knows that we, the outer disciples, have to complete a certain number of sect tasks every year. In order to obtain sect contribution points, senior sister accepted a mission to hunt for the fourth-level red-eyed snake demon pill, and wanted to invite junior brother Liu to go with her."
Liu Qingyan was a little hesitant: "This fourth-level red-eyed snake is equivalent to the early stage of foundation building. Just by you and me..."
Ning Min immediately said: "Not only the two of us, but also several fellow sect members who are in the later stage of Qi training will be with you and me. After this mission, not only the sect contribution points of a few of us in the past two years have been settled, these fourth-level monsters The snake is also worth a lot of money. When the time comes, you can exchange it for spiritual stones, which can also be used to buy some cultivation materials."
Liu Qingyan originally planned to refine the talisman and submit it to the Zongwu Hall in order to obtain sect contribution points, but immersing himself in practice all the time was not conducive to improving his mood. Since someone invited him, it was necessary to go out on a mission, so he agreed after thinking this. , I made an appointment with Ning Min on the time and place to meet, and then returned to the hospital.
Although it was necessary to be on guard against others, Liu Qingyan still believed in the reason for inviting him to do the task together. After all, the strength he showed on that day in the arena battle was indeed considerable. When fighting against the fourth-level red-eyed snake, he had a fighting ability. Extraordinary teammates, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but people's hearts are sinister, and there are some things that must be guarded against.
Liu Qingyan's eyes flashed slightly as she began to prepare for the upcoming sect mission.
I hope that after joining the Xuanyu Sect, he will be able to do sect tasks more smoothly. When he was in the Sword Sect, the only two sect tasks he did were very dangerous. It is really a blessing from God to survive to this day!
A few days later, Liu Qingyan took Amao squatting on his shoulders to a corner of the huge square in front of the sect, waiting to meet Ning Min and others.
Amao had grown up a bit, and it was a bit awkward to squat in Liu Qingyan's arms. Fortunately, after he advanced to the second level, he could hide his golden pupils, so it didn't look strange to have him squatting on his shoulder.
The other teammates were quite punctual. Not long after Liu Qingyan arrived, they arrived one after another. In addition to Ning Min, there were three other people doing the mission together, all male disciples of the outer sect.
One is at the eighth level of Qi training, his name is Su Yuan, and he comes from Danfeng. He has thin skin and tender flesh. He is shorter than Liu Qingyan and has a pretty appearance. The other is at the tenth level of Qi training, his name is Zhang Lian, and he comes from Fu Feng. , has an average appearance, and his eyes always follow Ning Min restlessly; the last one is the Qi Lian Dzogchen Body Cultivator who fought with him that day, named Guo Wu. When he saw Liu Qingyan, his face was obviously unhappy. Pleasure.
Su Yuan was very eye-catching, and when he saw this, he pulled him to talk, so that this temporary team would not have conflicts from the beginning. Liu Qingyan looked on coldly, thinking that the two of them knew each other.
This team was gathered by Ning Min. They exchanged names and headed towards the woods where Liu Qingyan had stayed. According to Ning Min, she had traces of the fourth-order red-eyed snake on her hand.
This forest is very vast, and there are countless spiritual plants and monsters in it. It is the training ground for many disciples of Xuanyu Sect. Even if Liu Qingyan has been active in the forest, the range he is familiar with is extremely limited, so he is very careful along the way. After all, It was a temporary team that didn't know much about each other. To be honest, he didn't trust these people.
Ning Min had been defeated by him before. Although he had successfully entered the sect and had the courage to use such methods in public, his intentions were definitely impure; Zhang Lian had no connection with him, but he seemed to be interested in Ning Min; Guo Wu Not to mention, the dissatisfaction with him is written all over his face; as for Su Yuan, he seems to be a person who cares about the overall situation, but he knows Guo Wu, and the two have a good relationship.
If there is a conflict, Ning Min, Zhang Lian, Guo Wu and Su Yuan will all have companions, leaving him alone. He needs to be even more careful during this trip!
Qi training disciples generally move around the outskirts of the woods. The further in, the higher the level of the spiritual grass and monsters, and the greater the danger. Opportunities always come with risks. If you want to get greater gains, you naturally have to go in. Let's go, it's just that when facing monsters that are higher than one's own cultivation level, one must still survive.
The traces of the fourth-level red-eyed snake that Ning Min knew were accidentally discovered when she was doing the spiritual grass mission not long ago. The red-eyed snake was moving outside the woods for some reason. Because of this, she contacted her fellow sects to hunt together. If In a normal place where fourth-level monsters roam, with their cultivation, they would definitely go there and never come back.
I don’t know how many years this forest has existed. Many of the trees are tall and strong with lush branches and leaves. They block the sky and the sun even during the day. Therefore, the weeds in the forest are very short and have very developed root systems. , perhaps because there were monks coming and going frequently, the few people walked along and didn't find many spiritual herbs worth picking.
That place was not very close to the sect. At night, a few people found some dead branches and leaves to light a fire and rest on the spot. There were many monsters in the forest, so it was not wise to travel at night. The whereabouts of the red-eyed snake were very hidden. Occasionally, Ning Min would not notice it, so they were not in a hurry. Even if it took more time, they had to ensure safety first.
At midnight, the trees in the forest rustled, accompanied by bursts of insects.
Several people were meditating next to the fire. Suddenly, Liu Qingyan frowned slightly and his ears moved invisibly, as if he heard some strange sounds. Since he practiced the Five Elements Refining Technique, his five senses have become much more sensitive than others. .
Opening his eyes, only Ning Min and Zhang Lian were around. Guo Wu and Su Yuan had gone somewhere unknown. Liu Qingyan suddenly became alert. Guo Wu had a grudge against him and disappeared mysteriously for no apparent reason.
After thinking about it, Liu Qingyan quietly stood up. Seeing that Ning Min and Zhang Lian were not alerted, he quietly walked towards the place where the strange noise came from. Because of his disguise, he had dark skin, which was an excellent cover in the dark night. Qi Practitioner He has not yet cultivated his spiritual consciousness, so it would be difficult to spot him at night unless he was very cautious.
The closer he got to the source of the sound, the clearer Liu Qingyan could hear it. According to his judgment, the sound seemed to be breathing.
With this doubt in his mind, he stepped lightly and continued walking forward. It didn't take long before he confirmed what he was thinking. The ones who made the noise were indeed Guo Wu and Su Yuan.
Liu Qingyan hid behind a thick tree and looked at the two people entangled in the grass. Her heart rose in her throat. She thought they were making some small calculation, but in the end, one person was on top of the other. Doing that.
The heavy breathing accompanied by some unpleasant words made Liu Qingyan a little dumbfounded. Although men formed Taoist couples in the world of cultivation, he always felt that the harmony of yin and yang was the right way. Who would have thought that there would be such a thing in front of him? out.
Not wanting those two people to find out that his good deeds were ruined, Liu Qingyan was about to leave quietly when he unexpectedly heard Guo Wu talking. The content of his words successfully delayed Liu Qingyan from leaving. He gritted his teeth and endured it. He still hid behind the tree trunk and listened to the two people talking while entangled.
