Chapter 6: The Untrustworthy Team
More than a month has passed since Chen Li hunted down Liu Xiang and others. From that day on, Chen Li has never been troubled by anyone again.
This also made his practice easier.
But what made him feel a little helpless was that his cultivation had not improved since he reached the seventh level of Qi training.
Whether it is absorbing spirit stones or eating the flesh of monsters, the effects are minimal.
Chen Li touched his chin, wondering if it was because he had been baptized by a large amount of pure spiritual energy, causing the spirit stones and the flesh and blood of the monster to have little effect anymore.
Because these spirit stones are of low quality, if we can get medium quality spirit stones, perhaps the profits will increase a lot.
But Chen Li didn’t dare to think about getting a mid-grade spirit stone.
One medium-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Even the outer sect elders don't have many of those spirit stones. How could a menial disciple like him possibly get them?
At this time, there was a knock on the door, which made Chen Li frown: "Who?"
"Junior Brother Chen, you haven't completed any missions for three months. If you don't increase your contribution to the sect, you will be expelled from the sect." A flat voice came from outside the door.
Chen Li suddenly remembered that although he was a menial disciple, he still had to complete the sect's tasks. If he failed to make the required contribution, he would be expelled from the sect.
"I understand. Thank you for telling me, senior brother." Chen Li walked out and said to the outer disciple in front of him.
The outer disciple did not leave, but said to Chen Li: "Brother Chen, I actually have a good task here. Not only will the contribution be high, but there is even a chance to be promoted to an outer disciple."
Chen Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he quickly understood.
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
He was afraid that this mission would be more dangerous than he had imagined, and he was sure that this was definitely planned by Zhao Bin and his people.
But he was not afraid of being demoted to a menial disciple. If he had no way to continue climbing up, the You family would not let his relatives go.
"Senior brother, there is no need to beat around the bush with me. Just speak frankly." Chen Li said.
The outer sect disciple laughed, took out a token, and said to Chen Li: "A golden-horned rhinoceros appeared in Dayun Mountain in Hongming Town. Its strength is estimated to be at the fifth level of Qi training. Please kill it, brother."
Chen Li was a little surprised. A monster at the fifth level of Qi training would be very difficult for not only menial disciples but also outer disciples.
"But don't worry, Junior Brother Chen. This monster is seriously injured. Its strength is at most around the third level of Qi training. I think your cultivation has almost recovered. You will definitely get a contribution for this mission." The outer disciple said to Chen Li.
Chen Li took the token and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Senior Brother."
"We are all fellow disciples, and it is natural for us to help each other. Since you have accepted the mission, I will leave first." After saying this, the outer disciple left without looking back.
Chen Li looked at the token in his hand and he knew how to use it.
To accept the mission, you have to drip your own blood into it. To complete the mission, you need to drip the blood of a monster into it.
For Chen Li, training the golden-horned rhinoceros at the fifth level of Qi training was almost very simple.
The monsters he killed in the past few days were almost all at the sixth level of Qi training.
Even the monster beasts at the sixth level of Qi training have no way to improve their own strength, let alone those at the fifth level.
But going out might be a good opportunity, at least I could get some good things.
Of course, he didn't believe that Zhao Bin would let him go so easily.
So next we must not only be wary of monsters, but also of enemies hiding in the dark.
Because he didn't need to prepare anything, he just took his sword and left the sect.
Inside the sect square, when the group of people looked at Chen Li, they were all very surprised.
"Isn't this Brother Chen from the outer sect? Why is he here? Is he out on a mission?"
"What about Senior Brother Chen? He has long since become a useless person, a menial disciple like us."
"Is there anything else?"
"I heard that his cultivation disappeared overnight and he became an ordinary person. It was because the elders took pity on him that they let him stay in the menial service."
These people were deeply surprised. They had never expected that Chen Li’s cultivation would disappear and he would become an ordinary person.
What they didn't know was that although Chen Li's cultivation had disappeared, after a few months, his cultivation had long since returned, and was even stronger than before.
Chen Li ignored these people. They were just a bunch of fence-sitters who fawned on the powerful. Even if he showed his strength, so what?
All he needs to do is to improve his strength and kill all those who are eyeing his life.
For example, Zhao Bin.
Although Chen Li is unable to deal with Zhao Bin now, with the strange light spots and sword intent field, he will be able to deal with Zhao Bin sooner or later.
Because he had already accepted the task, Chen Li did not stay any longer and walked out of Nanli Sect with a swagger.
Hongming Town is not far from Nanli Sect. An ordinary person can get there in three days. A practitioner like Chen Li can get there in just half a day.
Half a day later, outside Hongming Town.
Chen Li looked at an old man.
"Excuse me, are you an immortal from the Nanli Sect?" The old man was leaning on his walking stick, with a hint of respect in his cloudy eyes.
These people are just ordinary people. To them, cultivators are equivalent to immortals, even if you are just a menial disciple of the Nanli Sect.
Chen Li nodded, "It's me, Chen Li from the Nanli Sect."
"Immortal, I am the mayor of Hongming Town. Hong Qing, please help us. The monster has become more and more outrageous recently and has started to wander down the mountain." Hong Qing suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted to Chen Li.
Chen Li waved his hand, "Since I'm already here, I'll naturally handle it for you, so you don't have to worry. Where is the mountain range where the monster is? Show me the way."
Hong Qing quickly pointed to a mountain not far away and explained to Chen Li: "It's right there."
Chen Li turned his head and looked at a dense forest not far away and nodded. Is that the Dayun Mountain where the golden-horned rhinoceros appeared?
"I understand. Let's go up the mountain now." Chen Li didn't care about these people's thanks. The immortals and mortals would part forever. Since Chen Li had embarked on this path, he naturally would not have too much interaction with them.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Li disappeared from these people's sight, and soon arrived at the foot of Dayun Mountain.
But when he got here, he saw five or six people staring at him.
Seems to be a small team.
When they looked at Chen Li, they clearly had murderous intent.
Chen Li frowned. Could it be that they had been waiting for him here for a long time?
Zhao Shu, ah, Zhao Shu, do you really think that you can kill me by sending so many people ?
Chen Li had his hands behind his back. If they dared to take action, he would show no mercy.
What was surprising was that they did not take action here, but chose to turn around and enter Dayun Mountain.
He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Could it be that you plan to wait until I reach Dayun Mountain before taking action? What a good plan."
If they were outside, they would be seen by other people, but as long as they entered Dayun Mountain, they would not have to worry about anything else. They could completely treat Chen Li’s death as an illusion that he was killed by a monster because of his lack of strength.
Even so, it is almost impossible to kill Chen Li.
Not long after, Chen Li entered the mountains and began looking for the golden-horned rhinoceros that was wreaking havoc in the mountains.
Feeling the direction of the spiritual energy, Chen Li couldn't help but shift his gaze to a location on the mountainside.
It seems to be there.
Thinking in his mind, Chen Li rushed forward without any hesitation.
boom!
Suddenly, Chen Li heard a loud noise, and then a huge figure rushed straight towards him.
It was a huge rhinoceros. What was strange was that it had many hard scales all over its body, and the horn on its forehead was golden.
Golden-horned rhino!
Its skin is thick, but it has wounds in some places.
Claw marks like that seemed to indicate the presence of some other monster.
In that case, let's kill the golden-horned rhinoceros first, and then go find the other monster.
"I haven't taken the initiative to look for you, but you took the initiative to look for me." Seeing the other party rushing towards him, Chen Li showed a thick smile on his face.
It is almost impossible for a monster at the fifth level of Qi training to deal with Chen Li, who has reached the seventh level of Qi training.
Seeing the other party rushing towards him, Chen Li swung down with the sword in his hand.
Ding!
The long sword slashed on the golden-horned rhinoceros, making a crisp sound like the collision of iron.
It seems that the skin of this golden-horned rhinoceros is quite thick.
Chen Li shook his painful hands. The shock just now made his palms hurt a little.
But he did not stop his actions. Instead, he grabbed the sword with his backhand and rushed forward again.
Since other places don't work, just focus on the wound and kill.
But just as Chen was about to kill, several figures dropped from the sky and suddenly attacked Chen Li.
Facing these people's attacks, Chen Li's face suddenly changed. He took several steps back and stared at the people present.
These five people were the ones who were staring at him on the top of the hill before.
It seems that they really can't bear it anymore, so let's kill them all next.
The leading man looked at Chen Li and said coldly: "You killed so many people in my team, and today I finally found you."
After hearing this, Chen Li was confused. When did he kill the people in his team?
