Chapter 1298 Beiyuan Mission
The palace selection ceremony has come to an end, but the palace entry event is not over yet.
In the head-to-head bet, including the guaranteed 50%, Fengdian ranked first with 40%, Lindian only had 50% less than Fengdian, and the remaining 20% went to Shandian. Huodian lost completely. , only half of the guarantee was left, and only more than 5,000 disciples were accepted.
However, nearly half of the disciples on the three rankings chose the Fire Palace. The Wind Palace and the Mountain Palace were almost the same. The Lin Palace was the most miserable. There were only nine disciples on the rankings in total, three each on the Heaven Ranking, the Earth Ranking, and the Human Ranking. However, Lin Qu was still very pleased, because all the top three on the Tianlist chose to join Lin Dian, which was completely unimaginable in the past.
Wind Palace.
Nineteen disciples of the third rank were brought into their respective caves. They still need time to digest the realization of the nine reincarnations. This is a top priority.
Others are not so lucky. There are more than 40,000 Fengdian disciples who can only live in groups in the disciple courtyard.
In a flash, half a year passed.
On this day, nineteen disciples of the Third Rank were summoned to gather together and wait quietly for the Master of the Wind Hall, Rufeng, to speak.
"The fact that you can enter the third list proves that you meet the test of the Spirit Demon Palace, and that you can choose the Wind Palace proves your vision. From now on, the Wind Palace will be your home."
"but……"
Rufeng changed the topic: "You have officially become disciples of the Spirit Demon Palace, but the grand entrance ceremony is not over yet."
"Two or three years later, seventy-two secret realms will be opened one after another. This is a major event in the Spirit Demon Palace and a rare opportunity for all Spirit Demon Palace disciples. However, not all disciples can enter the secret realm. This is a need Qualified. You have just joined the Spiritual Demon Palace, so logically you do not have this qualification. However, the palace master has previously ordered that as long as you can complete the corresponding tests, you will have the opportunity to be qualified to enter the secret realm."
"I have called you here today to give you such a test."
"This test is actually not difficult, but if you want to enter a relatively advanced secret realm, you still have to put some effort into it."
"There is Beiyuan in the Northern Territory, and this test mission is in Beiyuan."
"Northern Plains is ruled by the Ice and Snow Clan, and there are countless snow beasts. When a snow beast reaches a certain stage of cultivation, it will condense beast crystals in its body. Beast crystals also have levels. The higher the level of cultivation of the snow beast, the more beasts it condenses. The higher the level of the crystal, but the ice and snow clan has ice soul protection, which is divided into levels just like the beast crystal."
"Your mission is to go to Beiyuan to retrieve the beast crystals or ice souls, and determine which secret realms you can enter based on their quantity and level."
"Of course, you are not fighting alone. Within three days, you can each select eight people from the disciples' courtyard to form a team, making a total of nineteen teams."
"Also, I would like to remind you that the other three palaces also have such tasks. If you encounter them, remember that I will not offend others unless they offend me. It is really unavoidable, and the majesty of the Wind Palace cannot be reduced!"
"Next, I will give you the list of disciples. You can choose eight people from it to form a team. After selecting, just hand it over to the deacon on duty. The deacon on duty will take the people to your cave. Remember, we will set off in three days. Kitahara, so you should decide on a candidate as soon as possible."
After distributing the list, Rufeng said a few more words and then sent them back.
After not seeing Ling Shi for half a year, Cheng Zhaoxue had a lot to say to him, but she just couldn't find the chance.
Ling Shi's focus was not on this aspect either, which made Cheng Zhaoxue even more depressed.
Cheng Zhaoxue really wanted to know where her brother was, but she couldn't find the opportunity to retreat in the cave for half a year. In three days, she would go to Beiyuan again. She didn't know when she would be able to come back, which made her a little anxious.
Nineteen people came and went at the same time, but the deacons on duty were very strict. Cheng Zhaoxue wanted to get close to Ling Shi several times but did not dare to take action. She was very unhappy and didn't know why Ling Shi always kept away from her. From a distance, could it be that he was deliberately avoiding himself?
Coincidentally, Lingshen was always behind her.
"Why is Xueer so worried?" Lingshen found an opportunity and asked softly.
"My brother..."
Speaking of which, except for Ling Shi,
Since Lingshen was more familiar with him, Cheng Zhaoxue didn't worry about what the other party called him and answered softly.
She only said three words, and Lingshen immediately replied: "Xue'er, don't worry about your brother. I found out some time ago that although your brother failed to break through, he has been assigned to be on duty at the Fire Gate of the Spirit Demon City. I heard that this is the intention of the Lord of the Fire Palace."
When Cheng Zhaoxue heard this, she felt relieved, but she felt more and more that she couldn't help Grandpa Huo.
She tilted her head towards Lingshen and said gratefully: "Thank you, senior brother!" But she couldn't help but think in her heart: Look at you, why don't you learn from senior brother Lingshen!
The deacon on duty glanced over, and the two of them did not dare to speak randomly.
…
Back in the cave, Ling Shi immediately spread out the list.
There are more than two hundred names on the list. It seems that Fengdian divided all the disciples into nineteen parts for them, the third-ranking disciples, to choose to form a team, so that the same person would not be selected by multiple people.
Behind each name, there is also a note about the person's realm and expertise.
From a realm perspective, among these people, only a minority are Nascent Soul stage monks, and the rest are all Golden Core stage monks.
Beiyuan and his party didn't think it was that easy. Ling Shi naturally focused on the Nascent Soul Stage monks.
Based on the needs of his team, he selected seven Nascent Soul Stage monks in one breath. Unfortunately, among all the Nascent Soul Stage monks, none were good at healing. Presumably, most of these people chose Lin Dian.
Ling Shi didn't want to have to bear such support all the time. In desperation, he wandered among several monks at the Golden Core stage for a long time, and finally chose a female cultivator who was good at healing. Although she was only at the middle stage of the Golden Core stage, it should be enough. .
After handing the list to the deacon on duty, in less than two hours, eight Fengdian disciples entered the cave where Lingshi was.
"I believe everyone knows the mission of this trip to Beiyuan! Let's introduce each other! My name is Ling Shi, and I am your captain." Ling Shi said unceremoniously. He could also see the excitement on the faces of these eight people. The color has not faded.
Ling Shi put a lot of thought into the selection of team members.
The five male cultivators are all good at attacking, but they specialize in different spell series. Among them, Liu Xu, the only one in the middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm, specializes in gold spells, Wang Yi specializes in earth spells, Hu Xuan specializes in wood spells, and Ma Yanyan specializes in Fire spells, Zhang Ze specializes in water spells.
Among the three female cultivators, Zhang Lingshu is good at defense, Wei Yuelan is good at formations, and only Zhu Mei, who is in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, is good at healing.
These eight people obviously cherish this opportunity. Being selected, no matter what the harvest is, means that they are ahead of others, especially Zhu Mei. He was selected with only a mere golden elixir level. While he has some inferiority complex, he feels that he is ahead of others. Ling Shi was even more grateful, and even looked at him with a slightly different look.
"I won't say much else. There is only one thing. We are a team. No matter what happens in Beiyuan, I hope you can stick together. Okay, while there are still two days left, everyone will go their own way. Adjust well! There are only three rooms here, so just make do with it for two days!"
After saying that, Ling Shi turned around and went back to the house.
No one dared to follow them, and everyone allocated the rooms in a tacit understanding, with three female cultivators in one room and five male cultivators in one room.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and when Ling Shi appeared in front of everyone again, his cultivation level took a further step, and he finally broke through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Liu Xu felt it and felt some admiration in his heart.
…
Led by the deacon of the Feng Palace, Ling Shi and his party entered the forbidden area of the Feng Palace.
In the forbidden area, there is a teleportation array that goes directly to Beiyuan, but it is one-way.
There is one such one-way teleportation array in each of the four halls.
The deacon of Fengdian looked at Ling Shi and others in the teleportation array expressionlessly, and then activated the teleportation array.
In the blink of an eye, everyone trembled, feeling the biting cold wind, and they were already in a vast white land of ice and snow with no end in sight.
This is Beiyuan.
In the Western Spirit World, the Northern Plains is very special. It is so vast that it occupies almost half of the Northern Territory. It is adjacent to the Spiritual Sea in the north. Due to the polar temperature, even the sea water is frozen.
Because of this, the battle between the Lingmen and the Demonic Sect in the Northern Territory is far less intense than in the Southern Territory. They do not dare to go deep into the Northern Plains at will, because there is the Ice and Snow Clan here, and in terms of strength, they are not weaker than the Lingmen and the Demonic Sect. .
In fact, even the Spiritual Demon Palace does not often send disciples to Beiyuan for training, but the palace entrance event every thirty years is an exception.
Of course, the disciples who were sent on missions in Beiyuan through the Four Halls would only be sent outside Beiyuan.
"Be careful!" Ling Shi suddenly shouted.
I saw a snow leopard leaping out of the snow like lightning and heading straight for Zhumei.
The snow leopard is completely white and blends in with the white snow. In addition, everyone has just teleported here, so it is inevitable that they will lose their caution.
Zhu Mei had no time to dodge, but thanks to Ling Shi's reminder, she turned to one side to avoid the danger of the snow leopard's throat being broken.
The snow leopard bit Zhu Mei's shoulder and tore off a piece of bloody flesh.
The snow leopard succeeded with one blow and quickly ran away. Because others had already surrounded it, it did not dare to attack again, especially the person in front of it, which made it feel scared for no reason.
After a moment of confrontation, the snow leopard turned and ran away.
"You heal your wounds first, stay here and don't move, be careful!"
Ling Shi didn't want to let go of the snow leopard. As soon as the team arrived, a member of the team almost died. As the captain, his face would be tarnished, and the morale of the team would be affected. He was determined to kill the snow leopard.
Liu Xu originally wanted to help, but Ling Shi went too fast and disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye, so he had to give up.
Wei Yuelan quickly arranged a simple formation to avoid repeating the same mistake. Everyone else also cheered up, while Zhu Mei concentrated on healing.
I don't know how long it took, but another team came rushing through the snow, and the leader was none other than Lingshen.
Lingshen and his party teleported ahead of Ling Shi and others, and happened to be adapting to the environment not far away. They came over after hearing the noise here.
"Which disciple are you from?" Lingshen asked.
"Senior brother, we are disciples of the Wind Palace." Liu Xu recognized Lingshen, felt happy, and quickly replied.
"Who is your captain? Where are the people?" Lingshen asked again. After glancing at the eight people, he was sure that none of them were on the third list.
"Zhu Mei was attacked by a snow leopard, and Captain Lingshi chased the snow leopard." Liu Xu replied.
"Huh?" Lingshen was a little surprised that he actually met him. This was a good opportunity. He glanced at Zhu Mei and said: "You are seriously injured, Ye He, you help this junior sister heal, and the others Rest right where you are and wait for me to come back!"
Asked for directions, he sped away.
The female cultivator named Ye He went over to help Zhu Mei heal her injuries.
Half a day later, Ling Shi and Ling Shen had not returned yet. Everyone was a little worried, but they could only continue to wait.
After some time, the third team appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone was immediately on guard because they all recognized the captain of this team, Ye Ziyan, who was number one on the Heavenly Ranking.
"Which disciple are you from?" Ye Ziyan asked.
Liu Xu was the first to answer: "We are all disciples of the Wind Palace."
He wants to tell the other party that we have an advantage in terms of numbers. If you want to take action, you have to think carefully.
Ye Ziyan seemed not to understand the meaning of his words and continued to ask: "Where is your captain?"
Ye Ziyan only glanced at Liu Xu and confirmed that he could not be the captain.
Liu Xu replied: "Captain Lingshi and Captain Lingshen went after a snow leopard and should be back soon."
"Did she be attacked by a snow leopard?" Ye Ziyan asked as her eyes fell on Zhu Mei's shoulder. She flashed and appeared behind Zhu Mei the next moment. ap.
Everyone was shocked when they saw her slender hands stretched out and pressed on Zhu Mei's shoulders, and the magic power in her palms fluctuated.
The pain on Zhu Mei's shoulder suddenly eased a lot, and she said weakly, "Thank you, senior sister!"
Ye Ziyan stopped.
She and Zhu Mei were not familiar with each other, and they belonged to two different palaces, so there was no need to do so.
What a waste of good people.
"We are all disciples of the Spirit Demon Palace. We should help each other. Don't worry too much. You are busy with your business and we will wait until your captain comes back."
She glanced at Liu Xu seemingly unintentionally, and the latter felt a coldness penetrate his heart.
Ye Ziyan walked back and asked the team members to meditate on the spot and adjust their breath.
