The sea breeze blew, Gong Yu's hair danced lightly on her forehead, and she looked at Zhang Liang quietly with a smile on her lips.
"That's all, I wonder how many people are in Sister Gong's team?"
Zhang Liang chose to agree because he had no choice but to do so. Gong Yu had mastered his secret. Although the secret may not be big, it would be a big deal if it became public and was noticed by the Yao Yao Yao.
She was a vicious woman whose eyes would be gouged out if anyone looked at her, and she was also a major foundation builder. Zhang Liang didn't want to offend such a person for nothing.
Gong Yu seemed to have expected this, and immediately smiled and said: "Including you, there are five people."
"so many people?"
Zhang Liang was surprised, how long did it take for Gong Yu to find so many people to join the group?
Gong Yu said calmly: "The more people we have, the stronger we will be. We are not looking for the so-called quota of fishermen and farmers. What we want to get is the quota of outer disciples. Naturally, the more people, the stronger the better."
"these people……"
"Don't worry, these people are the colleagues I have worked with in the past two years. Even myself, they are all at the sixth level of Qi training."
"So strong?"
"Sister Gong, I'm afraid your team is unbeatable, right?"
The sixth level of Qi training is almost the ceiling for fishermen and farmers. It stands to reason that one can become an outer disciple even while lying down. At the beginning, the house manager swept away seventeen or eight fishermen and farmers by himself, but he still had some strength left. Now the four-room stewards, not to mention sweeping the field, have basically no opponents.
Gong Yu chuckled lightly: "Brother, I really doubt whether you have been on Qingfeng Island in the past two years. Nearly ten thousand fishermen and farmers, four thousand of them have died so far. Some of the remaining fishermen and farmers have not been from Lingxian Lou has achieved an improvement in his realm? In the past, the sixth level of Qi training was indeed very strong, but now, I can responsibly tell you that there are at least two hundred people."
"so much?"
This number is indeed beyond Zhang Liang's expectation. If this is the case, it would be very difficult for him to break into the top forty if he does not rely on his physical training ability.
"Okay! Since Sister Gong doesn't mind, I'm willing to join."
"Very good."
…
After a while.
Gong Yu brought Zhang Liang to his temporary teammates, two men and one woman except Gong Yu. A thin young man, a burly middle-aged uncle, and an unattractive female nun in her early thirties.
Gong Yu said: "Everyone, this is Zhang Liang, a 20-year-old fifth-level Qi practitioner."
When Gong Yu introduced him, Zhang Liang couldn't help but glance at her sideways. This woman actually knew his age. This made Zhang Liang a little unhappy. It was a side reminder that I know you very well.
"Fifth level of Qi training? Although you are very young, fellow Taoist palace, shouldn't we find a fellow Taoist who is at the sixth level of Qi training?"
The person who spoke was the thin man. He was quite cold and his face was not very kind. The moment he spoke, Zhang Liang felt even more unhappy.
Gong Yu smiled faintly: "Realm does not represent everything, everything depends on strength. Fellow Taoist Chen Fu, don't look down on others!"
"Oh? Then it seems that Fellow Daoist Zhang is very strong?"
Zhang Liang was not angry, and said calmly: "I don't dare, I am far worse than all my fellow Taoists."
Cultivation as an immortal is a lifelong matter, and with Chen Fu's flamboyant personality, I'm afraid he won't be able to get far. Don't go too far and don't let yourself encounter him again, otherwise he will be lame.
In addition to Gong Yu, another woman smoothed things over and said: "Fellow Taoist Chen Fu, we will all be on the same team from now on. We need to work together to win the quota of outer disciples. Taoist friend Zhang Liang, my name is Li Meng, I am good at The art of net formation.”
"I have met Fairy Li Meng."
Li Meng sneered: "Fellow Taoist Zhang Liang has such a sweet mouth. How can I, a little fisherman and farmer, be called a fairy?"
Zhang Liang said without blushing, "Fairy Li Meng is too modest. The fairy looks about the same age as me, but she has already reached the sixth level of Qi training. With such qualifications, how can she not be called a fairy?"
"Kekeke~"
"I am already thirty-six years old, and fellow Taoist Zhang Liang knows how to make people happy."
Gong Yu twitched her lips slightly at the side. She really didn't know that Zhang Liang was so shameless. With just a few words, he slapped Li Meng into a coma. This was indeed a skill.
"I am Yu Huo, good at fighting and practicing physical training. Now I am at the peak of the first level of physical training."
The burly middle-aged man next to Li Meng interrupted Zhang Liang's flattery. His words were rather jerky, as if he was not good at words.
Chen Fu chuckled: "I am Chen Fu, a first-level mid-level formation mage. I wonder what fellow Taoist Zhang Liang is good at?"
Zhang Liang was not afraid, he smiled and said tepidly: "I am not good at fighting spells and making talismans, and I have no experience in formations. Only this method of raising insects is quite successful."
"Insect Controller?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Even Gong Yu didn't expect that Zhang Liang turned out to be an insect master.
Among those who practice immortality and various arts, insect control masters are a rather evil type. This kind of people come and go, and spiritual insects disappear around them. If they are raising dangerous poisonous insects, they must be dealt with with extreme caution.
The smile on Chen Fu's face froze slightly, and he was embarrassed.
Li Meng, on the other hand, couldn't help but wonder: "Oh? I wonder what kind of spiritual insect Master Zhang Liang controls?"
Li Meng and others would naturally not think that Zhang Liang raised many kinds of spiritual insects. Because anyone who has studied the art of controlling insects knows that raising spiritual insects is difficult, and it is not under the process of refining formations and making talismans.
The key is that raising insects not only requires wealth, but also time. It is very rare for Zhang Liang to be able to control a kind of spiritual insect at such a young age.
Zhang Liang smiled slightly, and everyone saw two thumb-length cockroaches with smooth jasper bodies crawling out from his shoulders.
Several people subconsciously had a tendency to retreat, feeling a chill on their backs.
"When did this bug come out?"
Zhang Liang raised his eyes and glanced at a few people, and said with a gentle smile: "After all, I am from a humble background, and I only raise ordinary sea cockroaches. Fortunately, I have studied this method since I was a child, so I have bred seven or eight first-class jade cockroaches. "
Zhang Liang gave a very conservative figure. He had been in the locust waters for nearly two years. Two years ago, there were more than two hundred first-grade middle-grade jasper cockroaches. After two years of feeding and blood-raising, their number increased sharply, and there were as many as 61 first-grade high-grade jasper cockroaches.
And these were just raised by Zhang Liang incidentally. What he really cultivated with all his heart was the blood-sucking purple locust.
Although no second-level blood-sucking purple locusts have been born yet, the number of first-level high-level blood-sucking purple locusts has reached 123. If it weren't for the fighting and devouring among spiritual insects, this number would be even greater.
Of course, with so many spiritual insects, it was impossible for him to carry all of them with him. He mainly brought low-grade and medium-grade jade cockroaches, about 40% of them. Because sea locusts are rare, he only brought 10% of low-grade and medium-grade ones. The rest were kept in spirit beast bags and placed in the sea locust area.
Otherwise, once his identity as the boss of insect farming is exposed, he will not be able to explain it at all. Because the conditions on Qingfeng Island did not allow him to raise so many spiritual insects.
"So it's a jade cockroach?"
Everyone was relieved immediately, but even so, no one looked down on Zhang Liang anymore.
Although jasper cockroaches are generally only suitable for use as fish bait, they are ordinary sea cockroaches and first-order low-grade jasper cockroaches. Once it reaches the first-level mid-level, the characteristics of the jasper cockroach will be reflected, that is, it is tenacious, hard to die, can eat, and has an amazing bite force.
This thing has the title of the Immortal Sea Scavenger. Any place where there are putrid corpses will be infested by sea cockroaches. If you give them a certain amount of time, even the bones can be slowly destroyed by you.
As for the first-order high-grade sea cockroach, to be honest, everyone has only seen it for sale in Lingxian Tower, and the unit price is nearly a hundred spirit stones. It is said that if you feed it with blood, you can control cockroaches in the sea and search for their traces with ease. If you are not careful and get penetrated into your body, it will be tragic. If you don't have a good way to force it out, it can be said to be a narrow escape.
Moreover, since Zhang Liang has seven or eight first-grade high-grade jasper cockroaches, how many are there in the middle-grade first grade? How many of the first-order low-grade people are there? There must be hundreds of them anyway. If all these spiritual insects were released, no one present would be able to completely block them without preparation.
Gong Yu glanced at Zhang Liang casually, and then said: "Like Yu Huo, I am good at fighting. Okay, without further ado, since the selection competition will start in an hour, the initial stage will definitely be the craziest. Some people who are not strong enough will , anyone who is alone will be sniped quickly. During this period, the five of us cannot be together to trick others into sniping. Those who are still on the field within half a day must have their own good tricks. At that time, we and others Let’s gather together again and officially join forces.”
Yu Huo said: "What if one of us is eliminated?"
Gong Yu said calmly: "Although you are all very powerful, on the field, chance and coincidence do not rule out the possibility of accidents. If that is the case, it can only be considered bad luck and you will not be able to become an outer disciple."
Li Meng: "In the early stages of the game, even if there is a strong encounter, the probability of a head-on fight is low. After all, there are still many prey on the field."
Gong Yu nodded: "This is the early plan. We will meet up at the Black Mire in half a day. As expected, the battle between teams will begin."
After a while.
The five people dispersed, each going to one side.
Zhang Liang came to an uninhabited land, patted the spirit beast bag, and four first-order high-grade jasper cockroaches swam out in four directions.
The speed of a first-grade high-grade jade cockroach is definitely not slow. Otherwise, how could the spiritual insect exist in the Immortal Sea forever if it had no attack power?
Zhang Liang never thought about tricking anyone, but he had to be on guard against others. These people didn't completely trust him, so how could he trust these people?
You know, the team of five of them didn't even take the oath of heaven.
For ordinary fishermen and farmers, if they don’t take the oath of heaven, it’s because they themselves feel that they will never have a big breakthrough in this life. But these people have good potential and ambitious goals, and they must be thinking about going further.
The reason why they don't take the Heavenly Pledge is probably not just due to trust issues, but also because they are still thinking about the rewards for the top three.
That is a top-grade technique that can be practiced all the way to foundation building. Even though it’s not easy to build a foundation, who doesn’t want to give it a try? Now that we have made an oath to heaven, what will happen if the five of us fight among ourselves?
