Yuwen Zhouyuan randomly found an empty camp tent with no one around, and sat cross-legged to recover the real power he had consumed on the road. In this camp of monks, he could finally feel at ease.
The next few days were uneventful.
On this day, Yuwen Zhouyuan had just finished meditating when a monk in green knocked on the door and walked into the tent where he lived.
"My Taoist friend's name is Yuwen Zhouyuan, right?" the man asked, cupping his fists after seeing Yuwen Zhouyuan.
"That's right. I wonder what you want me to do?" Yuwen Zhouyuan stood up and returned the courtesy.
"I'm not looking for fellow Taoist Yuwen, but Yun Kaitai, Master Biaotong of the Monk Camp, is looking for you. I'm just a messenger," the monk said hurriedly.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was greatly surprised to hear that it was Master Yun Kaitai who was summoned by Biao Tong.
It stands to reason that Yuwen Zhouyuan is unknown in the monk camp, and he is inconspicuous at all. Even the district camp administrator and district Haiping may not have any impression of him.
Now Yuwen Zhouyuan is mixed among the nearly 10,000 Zhenqi cultivators participating in the expedition in the entire monk camp, and it is impossible for him to enter the eyes of Lord Biao Tong.
This Biaotong Yun Kaitai is not only in charge of more than a dozen battalions, but he is also the elder of the Monk City. He has a perfect cultivation level in the True Yuan Stage, and is only a thin line away from the real ancestor!
When he first heard the news, Yuwen Zhouyuan was even frightened, thinking that there might have been something wrong when killing Liu Yunli, and someone else knew about it and reported it to Biao Tongyun Kaitai.
But then Yuwen Zhouyuan thought about it and felt that this possibility was unlikely. If it was really for this matter, I am afraid that he would have directly sent a master of the Zhenyuan stage to bring someone over to get him instead of sending a monk of the Zhenqi stage.
Summoning is so easy.
Yuwen Zhouyuan walked into Biao Tong Yun Kaitai's tent with full of doubts.
When he discovered that dozens of Zhenqi stage monks had been summoned together, Yuwen Zhouyuan felt a little more at ease. Since so many people had been summoned, it was definitely not for him, Yuwen Zhouyuan. It was probably because of something or something special.
action.
When Yuwen Zhouyuan took a closer look at these monks, he found that he actually knew quite a few of them. Their cultivation levels were all around the eighth level of the Zhenqi stage, and they were almost among the weakest group to participate in cave exploration.
Among these people were Tan Zhengping, a disciple of the Yuntai Sect who was also affiliated with Quziying, Jiang Guangyu, a disciple of the Jiang family of the Immortal Cultivation family, Qian Erzhuang, a disciple of the Wudao Sect, and Sun Zhenping, a disciple of the Mingxin Sect.
In addition, although I don’t know most of them, it is obvious that they are all casual cultivators.
After seeing these people clearly, Yuwen Zhouyuan's face turned ugly, his heart suddenly felt cold, and he felt something was not good.
What does Biao Tong want to do when he suddenly summons a small group of the weakest monks? The weakest group of monks often have only a few pitiful uses in expeditions - cannon fodder, bait. Or do some insignificant chores. This is the most common use.
usage.
However, Yuwen Zhouyuan's speculation has not yielded accurate results yet, and he soon discovered that the camp management, deputy management, and a group of Zhenqi stage Dzogchen masters from the monk camp filed into the big tent. It seemed that they were going to follow them.
The weakest monks act together.
These monks who are in the Dzogchen stage of the Zhenqi stage will soon be promoted to the Zhenyuan stage. Once they are promoted to the Zhenyuan stage, they will be the main force in the monk camp. Obviously, they cannot be cannon fodder bait to die.
This made Yuwen Zhouyuan confused, and he couldn't guess what Master Biao Tong's real intention was and what he wanted this small group of people to do.
Yun Kaitai glanced at the Zhenqi stage monks in the big tent. The few Zhenqi stage Dzogchen monks who came in later were high-level disciples who were specially trained. They were very loyal to the Dongyang Empire monk camp and were trained in the monk camp.
The best elite.
Yun Kaitai looked at the monks who were a little nervous and surprised but remained silent. They were neatly arranged side by side and in strict order. He couldn't help but nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Although the monk who came first was a bit inferior in cultivation, at least he was fully useful in carrying out the mission.
Yun Kaitai Biaotong glanced at the two deputy Biaotong and several Zhenyuan period leaders, and they all nodded to Yun Kaitai Biaotong, expressing their satisfaction that it was feasible.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Yun Kai Taibiao coughed slightly and said: "Everyone, you are all very outstanding and elite disciples in my Dongyang Empire monk camp Yun Zibiao. For the foundation of the Dongyang Empire's cultivation world in the next few hundred years,
Come and participate in this cave exploration at Lingshi Ridge in the No Return Mountain. The dangers of this cave exploration are self-evident."
Yuwen Zhouyuan secretly cursed, isn't this nonsense with open eyes? When did these monks at the eighth level of the Zhenqi stage become the elite of Yun Zibiao? Biao Tong probably has never seen any of them.
Yuwen Zhouyuan listened carefully to every word Yun Kaitai said, pondering the hidden meaning.
Yun Kaitai continued: "The mines in Lingshi Ridge of No Return Mountain were left over thousands of years ago and were invaded by monsters for thousands of years. Now the Dongyang Empire and the Sun Bu Luo Cultivation Alliance have armies.
As well as all the immortal cultivating sects in the two countries, almost all of them know nothing about the situation inside. Before sending a large number of disciples into the mine to eliminate the monsters, a small team of spies must first be sent deep into the cave to investigate the situation."
"You guys are the elites carefully selected by this system and all the leaders to enter the cave first to check the distribution of monsters and understand the situation in the cave. The most important task is to find the "No Return Mountain Lingshiling Mine"
"Shape Diagram of the Tao" drawing. Thousands of years ago, there were more than thirty sects of cultivating immortals in the Dongyang Empire and the Sun Never Set here to dig spiritual stone mines. Each sect would specially draw a diagram, and this kind of diagram usually
They were carried by the miners of various sects. Because the monster craze came too suddenly, these miners all died in the caves without exception. The value of these drawings is very great. If they can be found, they will be of great help to future mining.
There will be unexpected benefits.”
Yun Kaitai glanced at everyone, took a sip of spiritual tea and continued: "Of course. If you risk your life to break into this cave, I will never forget you, and the rewards in return will naturally be quite generous. As long as you participate in this
During the operation, each person will be rewarded with ten high-level elixirs for the Zhenqi stage. After understanding the situation in the cave, each person will be rewarded with a lower-level spiritual weapon."
After Yun Kaitai Biaotong said this, he spoke very calmly.
"And as long as you find the blueprints, a Pill of Aid to the Yuan is absolutely indispensable. If you can get ten blueprints, it will be a Pill of Reality! At that time, the Lord of the Guard will personally award the Pill of Reality!" Yun Kaitai said.
Dozens of monks who had their bags hanging down and were extremely frustrated because they were chosen as spies suddenly raised their heads, their eyes brightened, and they became extremely excited.
The Aiding Pill is the reason why they came to participate in this cave exploration. As long as they have the Aiding Pill, they have a one-tenth or one-percent chance of advancing to the true essence. Then they can become true immortal cultivators.
I am willing to die.
The other seven monks who were in the Dzogchen stage of Zhenqi heard Yun Kaitai Biaotong's words, but showed no expression and sneered.
The many rewards Yun Kaitai promised, as well as the heavy reward of helping Yuan Dan, finally surprised them, and the atmosphere became lively, and they even began to whisper. Yun Kaitai may have wanted everyone to slowly digest what he just said.
, with a smile on his face, did not stop him and let them discuss on their own.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was among the crowd, staring down at his feet, thinking about the risks of this operation.
Suddenly, a Zhenqi stage monk behind him touched Yuwen Zhouyuan's shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Hey, fellow Taoist, what do you think of this matter?"
Yuwen Zhouyuan looked at the other party and said, "Who knows, it will become clear when we take action."
After Yuwen Zhouyuan finished speaking, he ignored the other party and completely immersed himself in this expedition. He already had a slight understanding of the intentions of Yun Kaitai Biaotong and other senior officials.
To put it nicely, it’s about gaining wealth through risk, and high-risk actions bring high returns. To put it harshly, they, the monks at the first level of the Zhenqi stage, are the first batch of cannon fodder to enter the cave, and heavy casualties are inevitable.
, who knows how many people can survive.
As for whether everyone sees this mission as a huge opportunity, or whether they see themselves as cannon fodder for this mission, it all depends on their personal thoughts.
Most of the monks had surprise and excitement on their faces, probably seeing this mission as an opportunity.
In fact, being the first batch of cannon fodder to enter the cave has obvious benefits.
You can first find out the situation in the cave and find the remains of low-level monks who mined here thousands of years ago. There must be many items, spiritual weapons, spiritual minerals and the like left behind on these remains.
Although there may not be any good things, they are still worth some money. The cannon fodder picked up these things and put them in their own pockets, and no one would blame them. In addition, the sect promised to give various spiritual pills, spiritual weapons, aid pills, etc.
Wait, the benefits obtained will definitely be much better than those of the monks who later entered the cave.
Of course, all rewards are given after the event. If you die in the cave, the rewards will not count.
Yuwen Zhouyuan took a look at all the Zhenqi stage monks here and found that among the dozens of monks in this big tent, a very few were only in their twenties and thirties and were a little tender-skinned, while most of the rest were in their forties or fifties.
above.
Most of these people are from casual cultivators. Even though these people may look weak and weak, they are absolutely fierce when fighting for their lives.
These monks have gone through many hardships and endured till now. Few of them do not understand the danger of this mission. But the temptation of helping Yuandan is too great. It is the only way to embark on the path of immortality. Although they know that it is extremely dangerous, they are unwilling to quit this mission.
actions.
Yuwen Zhouyuan was not too happy to be the first batch of exploratory cannon fodder to enter the cave. But he looked at the demeanor of Biao Tong, Deputy Biao Tong and other leaders and had already decided the matter. Even if he wanted to quit, it would not be so easy.
.
Yun Kai Taibiaotong saw that the monks had been talking to each other in low voices for a long time, but no one proposed to withdraw. He was very satisfied and said with a kind smile: "Okay, since you have no objections, let's decide this. The first batch will be
Send seven teams into the cave, with four or five people in each team. The captains leading the teams are seven monks who have reached the Great Perfection stage. As for how to group them, let the captains choose their own people and then prepare well. Today at noon, except
Our monk camp and other sects also sent disciples to explore the Lingshiling cave in the Never-Returning Mountain. By the way, it is said that the monk camp and the major cultivating sects of the Empire of Never Set also sent people at the same time. Therefore, not only must we defend against monsters in the cave,
We must also beware of the immortal cultivators who never set!"
