A tall, middle-aged man named Shao Hu.
He was a casual cultivator born in a small town in the north of Ye'an Mountain, and he was considered a native of the Western Region of the Purple Sun Immortal Territory.
Although his cultivation is now in the middle stage of Golden Immortal, he has actually never left the Purple Sun Immortal Realm.
In fact, except for the Western Region and parts of it, he has never been to any further place.
Without him, this Ziyang Immortal Territory is too big. The Western Region alone is as big as hundreds of Immortal Territories on the first level.
Moreover, the cultivation environment in Ziyang Western Region is not bad, so he has no desire to leave here urgently.
"But, when I break through to the Immortal King Realm, I must go out for a walk and gain experience everywhere."
Shao Hu said to Lu Li with a smile as he walked.
Then he looked at Lu Li and asked curiously: "What about you, fellow Taoist? You should be from here too. With your cultivation speed, you should be very famous. Why have you never heard of it before?"
Lu Li smiled and said, "I was taken to the Kongming Realm by a senior since I was a child. I only came back here a few years ago, but this place has long since changed..."
"Kong Mingjie! Isn't that the territory of Tianji Palace? Could it be that, fellow Daoist Lu, you actually joined Tianji Palace?" Shao Hu said in surprise.
"No, that senior is just a casual cultivator, not a member of Tianji Palace."
"Oh, that's it. That senior must be very powerful. I heard that the barrier between the realms can only be crossed by the Immortal Master..."
"It should be very powerful, but he has never revealed his cultivation level to me."
This Shao Hu was just a talker. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop. This gave Lu Li a headache and he could only deal with it.
The two walked into the woods and walked through the woods for a while. Shao Hu finally stopped talking.
A white tent appeared in front of me, with the curtain hanging down, and I didn't know who was in the tent.
"It's really fastidious."
Lu Li muttered to himself and followed Shao Hu to the door.
"Fellow Daoist Han, are you busy? I'm back. Can you come in?" Shao Hu did not go in directly, but asked outside the door.
"Come in." After a moment, a voice that was neither salty nor bland came from inside.
Is it a woman?
Lu Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that Shao Hu, his teammate, was actually a woman.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, follow me." Shao Hu looked back at Lu Li, opened the door and walked in.
Lu Li frowned when he saw this, and finally shook his head and followed in.
To be honest, he didn't really want to deal with women. It wasn't that he looked down on women, but he was worried that he would be in a situation like Ye Tong's again and make himself uncomfortable.
On the cushion in the innermost part of the tent, there was a woman in white sitting cross-legged. Her hair was tied up, her face was pretty, and she was dressed very fresh and capable.
Shao Hu walked in, smiled at the woman, and introduced: "This is fellow Taoist Lu Yun. He has agreed to join us. What do you think?"
The woman in white stood up slowly, looked Lu Li up and down, nodded, and said calmly: "Not bad."
Lu Li smiled when he heard this and said hello, but he didn't know what to say.
The woman in white continued: "My name is Han Qingxue. Since you have chosen to join the team, I have some rules that I must tell you..."
"When we join the team, we are teammates. I don't want to see people running away from the enemy or even stabbing in the back. Do you have any objection to this, fellow Daoist Lu?"
Lu Li smiled and said, "No objection."
Han Qingxue nodded, "Okay, let's talk about resource allocation and team collaboration."
"I cultivate the avenue of water, which can focus on attack and trapping; Taoist friend Shao cultivates the avenue of earth, which can focus on defense; I wonder, Taoist friend Lu, what kind of avenue are you taking?"
Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little confused after hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, don't you even want to reveal this? How can we cooperate? And it's not easy to allocate resources." Han Qingxue frowned.
"It's okay to tell you. I follow the path of space, and it can cover all five elements." Lu Li finally spoke after hearing this.
The way of space!
Hearing this, both Shao Hu and Han Qingxue were secretly shocked.
"Okay! Okay, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Lu to be a genius on the Space Avenue, so we will be more confident." Shao Hu laughed.
"It's true that I underestimated you." Han Qingxue bowed her hands apologetically.
Immediately, the three began to discuss team coordination and resource allocation issues.
In the end, it was decided that Han Qingxue would be the main support, Shao Hu would be the main defense, and Lu Li would be the main attack.
As for the allocation of resources, it depends on the value of the resources obtained and how much each party contributes, which will be discussed.
Lu Li discovered that Han Qingxue, apart from being a bit straight-talking, cold-tempered and not very enthusiastic, was really talented in team leadership.
He listened to the entire discussion and rarely made suggestions, but in the end, Han Qingxue arranged everything properly and without leakage.
After confirming this, Lu Li and Shao Hu said goodbye and left the tent, went outside to meditate, and waited for the secret realm to open.
…
Three days later.
There was a sudden commotion outside the woods, and Lu Li and Shao Hu quickly stood up.
When I came to the edge, I saw that the teleportation vortex had begun to rotate, stirring up gusts of wind.
"I'm going to call Fellow Daoist Han." Seeing this, Shao Hu turned around and flew towards Han Qingxue's tent.
The vortex turned faster and faster, but soon became slow and even.
"You can come in!"
Someone yelled, and then a rainbow light flew in first.
Immediately, the people behind him all moved together, following closely behind him one after another.
After a while, the crowded open space outside became empty.
"It looks like it's almost done, let's go." Han Qingxue came up from behind, said something to Lu Li, then stretched out her body and flew towards the vortex.
Lu Li hesitated slightly and followed closely.
After a while, the world was spinning, and when Lu Li reappeared, he was already in a square covered by a huge barrier.
On the high wall behind him, there was a teleportation vortex that flickered on and off. At this time, there were silhouettes flying out of it.
"Is this Liuyun Cave?" Someone looked at the gray sky outside the barrier with curiosity on their faces.
"What are you doing standing around here! Leave quickly. There are so many people. If we go out too late, we won't even be able to drink the soup."
The person next to him gave a reminder and followed the others out of the barrier.
The others also looked like monkeys in a hurry, as if they were afraid of being one step slower than others.
At this time, Shao Hu also flew in. He walked up and asked Han Qingxue, "Which way are you going?"
"Although the first floor is large, the resources are average. I don't think we should waste time and go directly to the second floor." Han Qingxue suggested.
"That's what I mean too!" Shao Hu immediately agreed.
"It's my first time here, you guys have the final say." Lu Li had no objection.
With Han Qingxue as a guide, it saves trouble. At least there is no need to search for the second floor passage.
"Okay! Let's go then." After Han Qingxue said that, she disappeared in a flash.
Arriving outside the barrier, she summoned another aqua-blue ancient sword, stepped on it under her feet, and headed south through the air.
Shao Hu rode a big brown gourd and followed Han Qingxue.
Lu Li stepped on the snow lotus, came from behind, surpassed Shao Hu in one fell swoop, and walked side by side with Han Qingxue.
As he walked, he looked around curiously, and then asked: "How far is the passage from here?"
Han Qingxue said, "It's not very far. We'll arrive in about ten days..."
Then he added: "If nothing else happens."
