Volume 1: Rebellion in Chang'an Chapter 75 The First Mission
The structure of the Zhi Guard is like this, with guards formed by teams. Generally, a team consists of six monks, and the six monks belong to the six major sects of monks.
Fei Wa, who was hiding in the shadows nearby, saw that the test was settled, and walked out of the shadows with a smile: "Captain Xu, congratulations on adding another capable member to your Yinhu team."
After a pause, Fei Wa threw out a jade slip and flew it towards Xu Hao: "This is the task assigned to you by the deputy building owner."
"I have explained everything I need to explain, so I will leave now."
Xu Hao took the jade slip and said hello to Fei Wa: "Then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Fei."
"You're welcome. I'm just following your orders." Fei Wa couldn't help but look at Lu Qingshan again before turning around and leaving.
He remembered what Tan Tai Qingrun said when he handed the jade slip to him.
——After Lu Qingshan passed the assessment of the Yinhu Squad, he handed this task over to the Yinhu Squad.
He felt strange at the time. Why didn't Tan Tai Qingrun tell him what to do with Lu Qingshan if he failed the assessment?
Now that I think about it, everything becomes clear.
He is a swordsman who has mastered the secret sword technique during the foundation-building period. How could he fail to pass the assessment of the Yinhu team?
As expected of someone who is specially cared for by the deputy OP, he is truly amazing.
Fei Wa sighed in his heart.
…
Xu Hao held the jade slip and waved to everyone, "Cheer up, it's time to live."
Su Shu stretched lazily and explained to Lu Qingshan: "This should be the arrangement of the deputy building owner. Let us run in the new team through this task."
Lu Qingshan understood.
——Since the purpose is just to help them get the team together, then this task will obviously not be too difficult.
Xu Hao probed his spiritual thoughts into the jade slip.
"We discovered that the high-ranking members of Feiyun Sect and the Underworld were secretly colluding and providing cover for the Underworld. We were asked to wipe out Feiyun Sect as a warning to others. The high-ranking members of Feiyun Sect must be killed without mercy, and if the low-ranking disciples dare to stop them, they must not shown any mercy."
Zhishoulou is not a charity organization. Although they will not kill indiscriminately, they will never show mercy when performing their missions.
If the low-level disciples of Feiyun Sect dare to fight against them, it will affect their mission.
Even if these disciples have nothing to do with the underworld and are just uninformed people, they can still kill them, and they will never receive punishment from Zhishoulou afterwards.
The dark cultivator Zhong Jing said calmly, "The Feiyun Sect is just a weak second-grade sect. If I remember correctly, there seem to be only four foundation-building cultivators in the entire sect. Except for the sect leader who is in the middle stage of foundation-building, the others are all in the early stage of foundation-building. I don't know what kind of courage they have to disregard the ban of Daxia and have an affair with the underworld."
The Li clan is ready to go: "When do we set off?"
Xu Hao put away the jade slip and said concisely: "After Lu Qingshan recovers to his peak condition, we can set out and fight a quick battle!"
Although Xu Hao looks rough, he is actually a thoughtful person. He immediately took into account Lu Qingshan's condition.
After all, the reason he can be the captain of the Yinhu Squad is definitely not just because he has the highest level of cultivation.
…
After Lu Qingshan adjusted his breathing and restored his spiritual power to its best condition, the Yinhu team officially set out to begin their first mission.
Exit the Zhenjiang Tower.
Everyone stopped and looked at the beast cultivator in the team, Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi released a huge flying bird from the spirit beast bag.
It is seven or eight meters long, with a wingspan of twenty meters. There is a faint flame flickering on its sharp red beak, and a hint of brown-yellow light emerges between the gaps between its white feathers.
"This is Hongyan Goose, Xiao Zhi's flying demon pet." Su Shu introduced to Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan's heart moved.
The strength of a beast cultivator can be seen from his demon pet.
Red Rock Goose, a second-grade monster with dual attributes of earth and fire.
A dual-attribute monster is considered to have very good qualifications among second-grade monsters, not to mention that it is also a flying bird, so its evaluation will be even higher.
The Red Rock Goose can definitely be called a top-grade demon pet for foundation-building cultivators.
Xiao Zhi's strength is evident from the fact that he was able to tame such a top-grade demon pet.
As expected, there are no weak cultivators among the Zhi Guards.
Lu Qingshan thought so in his heart.
Xiao Zhi's figure flashed, and the next second he appeared on the back of the Red Rock Goose, calling out to the people below: "Come up quickly."
Everyone jumped onto the back of the Red Rock Goose. Seeing this, Lu Qingshan did not hesitate and jumped up as well.
"Xiaohong, let's go!" Xiao Zhi touched Hongyan Goose's neck.
The Red Rock Goose stretched its slender legs and jumped up with force, flapping its wings suddenly, creating a strong wind on the ground.
Some of the dust on the ground was blown up, creating a gray storm.
The Red Rock Goose carried six people and soared into the sky. Even though it was carrying a huge load, its flying speed was not affected at all. Under Xiao Zhi's command, it flew out of the city.
Lu Qingshan stood on the back of the Red Rock Goose, looking at the Zhenjiang City buildings that gradually turned into black dots as the altitude increased, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The speed of Hongyan Goose is naturally not as fast as his Liuyan Sword Technique, but its advantage is that it can carry multiple people without consuming its own spiritual power.
This is also the advantage of beast cultivators. They can fly or travel with their demon pets and will not suffer from the pain of traveling.
Interestingly, in the game "Jiu Tian", beast cultivators have always been the hardest hit by krypton gold.
A demon pet for transportation is like a luxury car in real life, and the wealthy are especially willing to spend money on this kind of face-saving project.
The requirements for flying demon pets are extremely high. Not only must they be fast and powerful, but they must also look cool enough.
Wouldn't it be great to then bring one or two young monk sisters and ride on cool-looking high-quality demon pets to go for a stroll in the sky together?
…
"We're here. The Feiyun Sect is ahead." After flying for a long time, Xiao Zhi controlled the Red Rock Goose to slowly land on a low mountain peak and pointed to a towering peak not far ahead.
That mountain is Feiyun Peak, the headquarters of the Feiyun Sect.
The Feiyun Sect has only been around for a hundred years, and unlike other second-grade sects that occupy second-grade spiritual veins, the Feiyun Peak occupied by the Feiyun Sect does not contain any second-grade spiritual veins , but only three first-grade spiritual veins.
The purity of spiritual energy produced by a first-grade spiritual vein is far inferior to that of a second-grade spiritual vein.
Even though there are three first-grade spiritual veins, the difference in quantity cannot make up for the difference in quality.
Therefore, the four foundation-building monks of Feiyun Sect have been making extremely slow progress in their practice.
It is also for this reason that the higher-ups of Feiyun Sect are blinded by greed and secretly collude with the underworld in exchange for rare resources for cultivation.
Xu Hao looked at Feiyun Peak and frowned: "Although the Feiyun Sect is not strong, we should still be as careful as possible, don't capsize in the ditch, and don't let anyone go."
Xiao Zhi nodded and patted his spirit beast bag. A weasel with a very small head, short limbs but a slender body appeared in front of Xiao Zhi.
The weasel has a brown back and a snow-white belly. The most eye-catching thing is its emerald eyes that are as deep as gems.
"Green-eyed weasel." Xiao Zhi took the initiative to introduce Lu Qingshan: "A second-grade demon beast, it has no offensive capabilities, but it is swift and agile, and is good at earth escape, making it a good hand at scouting the enemy camp."
After Xiao Zhi introduced his demon pet to Lu Qingshan, he pointed at the Feiyun Sect in the distance and waved his finger: "Xiaolu, let's go!"
The corner of Lu Qingshan's mouth twitched.
Xiaohong, Xiaolu, so you are the Rainbow Team?
…
The green-eyed weasel received the order from its master. A light flashed in its green eyes, and then, like a river returning to the sea, it blended into the land beneath its feet in an extremely strange way and disappeared on the spot.
This is the earth escape technique.
"Wait a moment." Xu Hao turned and said to Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan nodded. He understood that this was an old member of the Yinhu Squad showing him how the Yinhu Squad fought.
About half an hour passed.
A small hill rose up on the land in front of Lu Qingshan.
Then, the green-eyed weasel came out, calling out to Xiao Zhi non-stop, and drawing something on the ground with its toes.
"Thank you for your hard work. Go back now."
Xiao Zhi listened attentively for a while, then nodded, took out a Qi-eating Pill from his storage ring and fed it to the green-eyed weasel, then put the green-eyed weasel back into the spirit beast bag.
This is also a characteristic of beast cultivators - they have a family to support, and the whole family needs to be fed by the beast cultivators.
Beast cultivators are different from cultivators from other sects. If a beast cultivator is willing, one person can form an army.
If there are no certain restrictions on beast cultivators, this profession will become so powerful that it will be seriously unbalanced.
Therefore, first of all, beast cultivators cannot subdue monsters with higher ranks than their own.
For example, if Xiao Zhi is a foundation-building cultivator, he can only subdue first- and second-grade monsters at present. If he wants to subdue third-grade monsters, he can only wait until he advances to the Golden Core Stage.
In addition, beast cultivators have to spend a lot of resources to train and raise their own demon pets.
If you tame a large number of demon pets without restraint, even if you are wealthy, you will still be eaten bankrupt by these demon pets with appetites as big as cows.
That’s not all. If a large amount of resources are spent on demon pets, it will greatly hinder the progress of the beast cultivator’s own cultivation.
This requires a trade-off.
So, although it may seem like a good idea for a beast cultivator to form an army of one person, in fact, it is a big pit and only well-off people can enter it.
…
"Xiao Lu said that there are four foundation-building monks in Feiyun Sect at this moment. This means that all the high-ranking members of Feiyun Sect are here at this moment, and no one is out. We can catch them all in one fell swoop."
As Xiao Zhi spoke, he pointed at the sketch that the green-eyed weasel had drawn on the ground. There were four large dots marked on it. "This is the architectural layout sketch of the Feiyun Sect. These four dots are the current locations of the four foundation-building monks."
