When the disciples heard this, they looked at each other. The square fell into a short silence..

Everyone knows that Yin Yi is Yin Tao's younger brother. Yin Tao is a guest of the Qingyun Sect. Even the sect leader wants to win him over..

Moreover, Yin Tao seemed to have some connections with the Wang family. With Ethereal Peak protecting them, no one dared to challenge Yin Yi openly..

Lu Chen stood there and calmly looked around at the crowd. He thought to himself, Yin Yi's good call. He didn't want to be with them. After all, they were all people with Qi cultivation. If he formed a team, he would only be a drag..

Seeing that everyone was afraid of his threat, Yin Yi became even more proud.

He turned his gaze to Lin Zhiyao. This direct disciple of the sect master of the Lightning Element Heavenly Spirit Root was one of the best in the sect in terms of cultivation and status..

Yin Yi led his two followers and walked straight to Lin Zhiyao with a smile on his face..

"Miss Lin, shall we form a team together? With our strength, we will definitely be able to shine in this experience..

”

However, Lin Zhiyao didn't even lift her eyelids and replied coldly,"Not interested.".

”

Yin Yi was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Zhiyao to reject him so bluntly. He was unwilling to give up like this, so he hurriedly grabbed Lin Zhiyao's arm and tried to convince her again..

"Miss Lin, you can reconsider..

I have dual spiritual roots of metal and fire. My cultivation has also reached the middle stage of Qi Refinement. Come with me..

.

.

”

Before Yin Yi could finish his sentence, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck Yin Yi..

Yin Yi's expression changed drastically when he saw this, and he quickly rolled to avoid it..

The lightning struck the ground, creating a crater and stirring up dust..

" Who do you think you are? You want to team up with me? Get lost!" Lin Zhiyao said coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes..

Yin Yi froze on the spot, and his two followers were too scared to make a sound..

Everyone present gasped..

" Did you see that? That lightning power is actually so condensed, as if it were real lightning!" someone exclaimed..

"Yeah, I've never seen such a powerful lightning technique. I'm afraid this can only be used if you fully understand the attributes of your spiritual root, right?"

" Lin Zhiyao's strength is unfathomable!"

Lin Zhiyao ignored the discussion and walked through the crowd to Lu Chen. She changed her cold attitude and smiled.

"Lu Chen, are you willing to team up with me?"

Everyone turned to Lu Chen. Some were envious, some jealous, and some curious..

Lu Chen looked at Lin Zhiyao's smile and wondered what was going on..

Is Lin Zhiyao that interested in me?

I wanted to keep a low profile, but now I've become the focus of everyone..

alas.

.

.

It's all about being too handsome.

If I had known, I would have become uglier when I used the Thousand Face Transformation.

However, no matter how ugly I become, I don't think I can stop this damn temperament..

Although he did not want to bring Lin Zhiyao along as a burden, after all, she had first given him spirit stones and then helped him commit perjury. Lu Chen was embarrassed to reject her.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen scratched his head and replied reluctantly,"That's it.".

.

.

all right.

.

.

”

This simple response caused an uproar among the crowd..

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked..

Lin Zhiyao didn't choose to team up with Yin Yi, who had True Spiritual Roots, but Lu Chen, who had Ice and Fire Mixed Spiritual Roots instead?

What was even more unbelievable was that Lu Chen was still unwilling?

：.

At this moment, Yin Yi's expression is already extremely difficult to see.

He had already harbored a grudge against Lu Chen, but now that Lin Zhiyao had chosen Lu Chen, he was even angrier..

Thinking back to how she was humiliated by Lu Chen first, then rejected by Lin Zhiyao when she invited her, and even covered in dust by lightning, all kinds of humiliation surged into her heart..

He couldn't help but shout in Lu Chen's and Lin Zhiyao's direction," Lin Zhiyao, are you blind? You actually chose Lu Chen, that piece of trash! He can't even carry out the most basic cultivation, how can you expect him?"

Lin Zhiyao turned around coldly, the lightning gathered in her palm sizzling." Oh? Who's blind?"

Yin Yi was startled by her sharp eyes and involuntarily took a step back. He stammered,"Don't.".

.

.

Take it easy. Let's talk about it..

.

.

”

Before Lin Zhiyao could make a move, a vague figure flashed past like a ghost. Yin Yi felt a blur in front of his eyes. Before he could react, he was slapped to the ground!

The half of his face that had not yet fully subsided was swollen again at this moment.

Yin Yi was stunned by this sudden slap. He covered his face and climbed up. He looked around angrily and confusedly. He roared," Who was it? Who hit me?"

Recalling this familiar feeling, Yin Yi pointed at Lu Chen and asked," Is it you?"

Among the crowd, Lu Chen stood there quietly with a smile on his face, as if everything had nothing to do with him..

Seeing Yin Yi pointing at him, he chuckled and said,

"I've been standing here all this time and haven't moved. What? If you dare to frame me, then I'll have to report it to the Law Enforcement Hall!"

" You!" Yin Yi's hand was trembling as he pointed at Lu Chen. He was obviously furious..

At this moment, Elder Zhou Tong's voice rang out," Alright, it's time to form a group. Disciples above the initial stage of Qi Refinement, gather at my place!"

When the disciples heard this, they gathered together. Yin Yi could only cover his swollen face and stand silently in the crowd..

Elder Zhou Tong stood in front of everyone, cleared his throat, and began to explain the objectives and precautions of this experience..

"Our Blue Cloud Sect is located in the center of Hongxi Continent. There are many demon beasts and dangerous places around us..

The main objective of this training is to let you go deep into the forest outside the Green Cloud Mountain Range to find a rare spiritual herb called Spirit Heart Grass..

”

"This herb is beneficial to cultivation and is an indispensable precious material for our sect's alchemy..

”

Elder Zhou Tong paused for a moment before continuing,"

"This time, apart from searching for the Spirit Heart Grass, there is also an important mission, which is to hunt demonic beasts..

Every time you kill a demon beast, you need to take a certain part of its body, such as its fur, claws or teeth, as proof of killing..

”

"This is a comprehensive test of your cultivation, martial arts techniques, and teamwork. At the same time, you must learn to use your spiritual roots to maximize your combat strength. I hope you will make good use of this experience and live up to this trip..

”

As Elder Zhou Tong spoke, he waved his hand, and a ray of light flashed. Each disciple had two jade slips in his hands.

"This is a map of the outer perimeter of the Green Cloud Mountain Range. The red dots mark dangerous places. Don't go deep..

”

"The other one is a communication jade slip. If you encounter danger or need help, crush it. My disciples and I will immediately sense your location and come to your rescue..

”

"Most of the Green Cloud Mountain Range has been explored and marked. However, the outer regions of the mountain range are vast, and it is still impossible to kill all the high-level demon beasts..

So, you have to be vigilant..

”

" Don't underestimate the enemy. When encountering a Tier 1 demonic beast, if the party has less than three members, immediately flee. If you encounter a Black Fiend Demonic Tiger, even if the party has more than three members, you must not tangle with it!"

"If you encounter a Tier 2 demon beast, don't hesitate and immediately crush the communication jade slip to request assistance!"

"Alright, you've said what you need to say. Next, it's up to you to make your own fortune..

”

Finally, Elder Zhou Tong swept his gaze around the disciples before him and encouraged them,"

" The first team to obtain the Spiritheart Grass will each be awarded three middle-grade Qi Refinement Pills. The best performer-the disciple who kills the most demonic beasts-will be awarded a high-grade Vitality Strengthening Pill!"
