A maid in a brocade robe placed two exquisite jade cups on the table, and then gracefully picked up a jasper teapot and filled the two jade cups.
The steam rises, and the refreshing fragrance of tea immediately overflows.
The maid put the teapot down and stood aside with bare hands.
Kong Xiangyun waved his hand.
"yes!"
The maid immediately responded obediently, saluted Ji Liao and Kong Xiangyun one by one, then moved her lotus steps and retreated out.
Ji Liao took a sip of the tea in the cup and asked before putting it down, "By the way, I see that your aura is stable. I think it has been some time since you advanced to the level of God Refining. I wonder when you will prepare to transform into a spirit?"
"Transforming into a spirit?" Kong Xiangyun murmured, and then said, "This matter must be decided by the master, and what I say does not count."
Ji Liao's eyes trembled slightly when he heard this and nodded.
Now that you have become someone else's slave, you must follow the master's instructions for everything, even your own advancement.
Moreover, there are a lot of things that need to be prepared to advance into a spirit, and it costs a lot of money. Kong Xiangyun naturally does not have the strength to get it, so if he wants to advance into a spirit, he will eventually have to rely on the old demon of blood sacrifice.
"That's fine." Ji Liao said, and then took another sip of the cup of spiritual tea. Suddenly he remembered something and continued to ask, "How much do you know about this mission?"
"Understood?" Kong Xiangyun was stunned at first. Unexpectedly, more than ten years had passed and the Ji Liao in front of him still had only a partial understanding of the mission. He paused and asked, "I wonder what Senior Ji wants to know?"
Ji Liao frowned slightly, then after thinking for a moment he asked, "How many people are there in this operation?"
Kong Xiangyun naturally knew that Ji Liao was not asking about their route, but how many people from the Great Rebellion Alliance had come this time.
He chuckled and replied slowly, "This is difficult for Kong. Kong is just a pawn. I don't know exactly how many people there are, but if you insist on making an estimate, this operation will definitely not be carried out." less than..."
Having said this, Kong Xiangyun raised three fingers to Ji Liao.
"So many..." Ji Liao looked at Kong Xiangyun's three fingers and murmured.
"Hey, the Sand Sea Purgatory is infinite. The sub-altar we are going to is just an inconspicuous sub-altar among the many sub-altars. At the same time, Yuhuo City is just a small border town, which is much worse than those real super cities. Well, naturally there will be fewer people who can take our route."
"That's it." Ji Liao nodded and said.
There are tens of thousands of people wanted by the Great Rebellion Alliance this time, so there must be more people carrying out the task than the people wanted. Ji Liao had already expected it, but with so many people coming all at once, Ji Liao was still a little worried. I was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, starting a war with the Sun Moon Court was no small matter, and so many people seemed reasonable.
"So these hundreds of thousands of people are all mid-level monks?" Ji Liao thought about it and asked.
"About 60%." Kong Xiangyun replied, and then added, "Actually, God Refiner Xiaoxiu also recruited people for this mission. It's just that the owner thought they were in the way and didn't pick them up at the designated place."
Ji Liao raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Kong Xiangyun.
Kong Xiangyun immediately understood what Ji Liao meant and laughed, "Hahaha, the god-refining cultivators are not capable of crossing the sand sea and purgatory, so the tasks they receive are different from those of big cultivators like you, and if they are to guide you in the outside world, , such a large force will inevitably attract the attention of the Heavenly Palace."
"I didn't expect that the Great Rebellion Alliance would control the members of the alliance to such an extent."
"How could the Great Rebellion Alliance have developed to where it is today without some means of deterrence?" Kong Xiangyun said in line with the situation.
"There are four branches in the alliance, but this time all four branches are coming out at the same time?" Ji Liao asked again.
"No! This time we only have one lineage from the east. As for the three lines of Nanlou, Beigu and Xitian, they are not involved." Kong Xiangyun replied decisively.
Yu Huafeng controlled the Donglai lineage. After listening to Kong Xiangyun's words, Ji Liao became even more convinced that Yu Huafeng, who never left the Dingtian world, must have come here in person and brought Yu Yunzhao with him.
Ji Liao didn't know the meaning of Yu Huafeng's actions, but he didn't bother to guess. When he met Yu Huafeng in the future, the mystery would be solved naturally.
"Don't worry, our Donglai lineage is enough to deal with Sun Moon Court." Kong Xiangyun said, pondering Ji Liao's thoughts.
Ji Liao smiled lightly and was noncommittal.
The two chatted for a few more words. As soon as Kong Xiangyun stood up to leave, a voice sounded from outside the secret room.
"Hehehe, has Daoist Fellow Ji ever left seclusion?"
Ji Liao's expression moved slightly and he looked at Kong Xiangyun beside him.
With a wave of his hand, he opened the door to the secret room, and Gu Ren's figure appeared behind the door.
"I just saw that Fellow Daoist Ji's isolation restriction has been opened, so I thought that Fellow Daoist Ji was released from seclusion." Gu Ren said and walked in. When he saw Kong Xiangyun next to Ji Liao, he was slightly stunned, but he lost the arrogance he had when they first met. , slightly arching his hands towards Kong Xiangyun, "Hey, Little Friend Kong is here too."
Kong Xiangyun immediately gave Gu Ren a big gift in return, "Senior, I have broken my junior."
"Hey, the road to immortality is long, and you can't always judge the merits of cultivation. Besides, as Little Friend Kong follows Senior Blood Sacrifice, his future will be limitless." Gu Ren came to Ji Liao's side and looked at Kong Xiangyun with a smile.
"Senior is so complimentary." Kong Xiangyun said.
Gu Ren no longer struggled with Kong Xiangyun, but looked at Ji Liao and asked, "The mission is about to begin. Some time ago, someone proposed to hold an exchange meeting today. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ji is interested?"
"Exchange meeting?" Ji Liao exclaimed.
"This is different from an ordinary auction. All the people present are mid-level monks, and the items being auctioned will not be too low-level. You have been in seclusion a few days ago and I couldn't inform you. I didn't expect that Daoist Fellow Ji is out of seclusion today. It's a coincidence. "
Ji Liao was slightly moved. He was in urgent need of a thunder-attribute Qi-entraining technique and had nowhere to buy it, so he could come to this exchange meeting to take a look.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Ji Liao's lips, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Gu, for still thinking of Ji."
"It doesn't matter, it's all trivial." Gu Ren waved his hand and said.
Kong Xiangyun looked at Ji Liao and Gu Yan and didn't linger much. He bowed respectfully, "You two seniors have something to do, so I won't bother you too much."
"Yeah!" Ji Liao nodded slightly.
"Go!" Gu Ren said.
Kong Xiangyun left the secret room, and not long after, Gu Ren and Ji Liao also walked out. When they reached the end of the corridor, they followed the spiral staircase up two floors and entered another corridor.
After about a cup of tea, Ji Liao and Gu Ren stopped in front of a secret room with an open door.
Ji Liao took a quick look and saw that there were already more than 300 people in the huge secret room.
They were sitting in an irregular manner, sitting together in twos and threes, either transmitting sounds or discussing something in a low voice, just like the scene at a wedding banquet in the world.
"Let's go." Gu Ren said, immediately entering the secret room.
The two entered the secret room, found a random place to sit down, and looked around. Gu Ren crossed his arms and said, "It seems we have to wait a while."
Ji Liao nodded slightly and said nothing.
Less than half an hour later, another hundred or so people rushed over, and Nuo Da's secret room immediately seemed a bit crowded.
"Hey, people are almost here, so we won't wait any longer." Suddenly, a voice sounded in the secret room, instantly suppressing the conversation in the venue.
Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see that the speaker was an octogenarian with white eyebrows and eyebrows. He was one of the three Hou Tian Ling monks.
After the old man said this, he flashed and landed in front of everyone in the next moment.
"I didn't want to participate in this matter, but it's too boring to stay in seclusion all the time, so I'll bring out two random things to play with you," the old man said.
The exchange meeting was an impromptu event, so there were no rules. People were so naive that no one dared to object to the first thing to be auctioned.
Everyone looked at the old man. The old man curled his lips and spread one hand in front of him.
A misty cloud and mist immediately appeared, and then a gorgeous flying boat, shrunk countless times, appeared on the cloud and mist, as if the cloud and mist below were regarded as the sea, riding the wind and waves above the cloud and mist.
The old man dragged the flying boat flying on the clouds and mist in his hand, and smiled faintly, "It's a small gadget that I refined in my spare time. This thing is called the "Hai Fu Teng Yun Boat", the top spiritual level, and the formation has not been engraved on it. It’s up to you to decide how to do it.”
