Chapter 40 Xiang Zhili: Calling him trash is calling me trash! [New book, please vote!]
"From the fifth level of Qi Refining at the beginning to the tenth level now, you have only just touched the threshold of the trial. Remember not to initiate conflict with anyone."
When Mengde met Yunxi again, it was already on the large flying ship heading to the Blood Forbidden Land for the trial.
The total number of disciples from the entire Spirit Beast Mountain who participated in the Blood Forbidden Land Trial was less than thirty. Most of them were disciples at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, a small number were disciples at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and even fewer were at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, and finally Meng De was the only one at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
"All disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain, listen to my command! The flying boat will arrive near the Crimson Forbidden Land in three days. At that time, we will meet up with people from other sects. During this period, everyone should hone their magic power and conserve their energy. I wish you all a successful start and a safe return!" On the large flying boat of Spirit Beast Mountain, a Foundation Establishment Realm senior brother riding a black panther admonished everyone.
When Mengde saw the man, his eyes flickered slightly. He hadn't expected to run into an acquaintance, his senior brother Chen Tai, who had been very kind to him in the past.
The Core Formation Realm expert leading the disciples of the Spirit Beast Mountain Trial this time is named Lei Yun Zhenren. He is in the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm and possesses a Level 5 demon beast, the Lightning Leopard. When the two work together, they are rarely matched in the mid-stage of the Core Formation Realm.
Chen Tai, who was riding a level-two demonic beast, a black panther, was a disciple of Master Lei Yun.
As Mengde saw Chen Tai, Chen Tai naturally also noticed this rather familiar face.
After finishing his instructions, Chen Tai walked to Meng De's side and transmitted his voice, saying, "Young man, you have quite the affinity for immortality. In just three years since you entered the sect, you've already reached the tenth level of Qi Refining. Although your aura is slightly weak, your cultivation level is undeniable. But why not wait a few more years?"
"Reporting to Senior Brother Chen, Mengde may not be able to wait any longer..." Mengde bowed to Chen Tai and answered softly.
"Sigh, whatever you want." Chen Tai shook his head. As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words, so he didn't say anything more.
"Looks like you do have some connections?" After Chen Tai left, Yunxi walked up to Meng De and teased him.
"I worked under Senior Brother Chen Tai for several years back then, so I became familiar with him," Meng De explained.
"Hey, Brother Meng, it really is you!" A familiar voice came from behind Meng De. When Meng De turned around, he saw Bai Yunsheng walking over.
"I didn't expect you to participate in this trial." When Bai Yunsheng saw Meng De's back in the crowd, he was still a little unsure, but when he saw Meng De talking to Chen Tai, he realized that the person was Meng De.
Bai Yunsheng, a peak Qi Refining 13th level cultivator, is a cultivator with three spiritual roots. Among the Qi Refining disciples participating in this trial from Spirit Beast Mountain, there are only four at the Qi Refining 13th level in total, and Meng De himself knows two of them, all four of whom are at the peak of the Qi Refining 13th level.
In addition, Meng De also spotted some familiar faces in the crowd, such as Wang Sheng's two Daoist partners, and Lin Yue and her two female companions, both of whom were Qi Refining Level 12 cultivators.
"I only dared to participate because Senior Sister Yun is protecting me. Greetings, Senior Brother Bai." Meng De raised his hand to salute Bai Yunsheng, using Yunxi as a shield.
Yunxi merely glanced at Mengde indifferently, thinking to herself, "Is there anything Mengde wouldn't dare to do? You've got some nerve, kid!"
"Bai Yunsheng." Bai Yunsheng gave a soft hum and then introduced himself to Yunxi.
"Yunxi." Yunxi nodded indifferently, her attitude rather cold.
However, Bai Yunsheng, the peddler of the secret manuals, did not care about Yunxi's cold attitude. He had seen all kinds of people in the market every day.
However, Bai Yunsheng glanced at Yunxi briefly before saying, "Junior Sister Yunxi, how about we join forces? The other two fellow disciples at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining have already expressed their willingness to form an alliance; we're just missing you, Junior Sister."
Yunxi hesitated for a moment, but ultimately shook her head: "Not interested."
"Don't rush to refuse." Bai Yunsheng smiled and patted Meng De on the shoulder, saying, "I have had quite a few dealings with Brother Meng. If we meet in the Trial Grounds, I will naturally help you out. If you've thought it through, Junior Sister, if we meet in the central area of the Forbidden Zone, we will still be natural allies."
After saying all this, Bai Yunsheng said no more. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Mengde, then turned and left, finding a place to meditate and rest.
"Do you still have business dealings with them?" Yunxi asked.
"I can make talismans, and Senior Brother Bai will help sell them," Meng De explained.
In the next year or two, Bai Yunsheng will use his own channels to find all kinds of materials that Mengde needs, and Mengde will also let Bai Yunsheng earn some profit from the price difference, so it can be considered a win-win situation for both parties.
Unless it's a special case like Han Li's, where high-grade spiritual herbs can't be produced frequently, Meng De's talismans might have a slightly higher success rate, but it's not exactly something shameful.
"Mm." Yunxi nodded gently, then asked no more questions, allowing Mengde to meditate and rest in peace.
"After entering the Crimson Forbidden Land, find a secluded place in the outer valley to hide for a few days. Just gather some spiritual herbs." Yunxi left her final instructions, then sat down to meditate and await the start of the trial.
"As long as you're not incredibly unlucky and get teleported into a crowd as soon as you enter, it's not that dangerous." Meng De watched as everyone began to meditate and cultivate, sighed inwardly, and then found a spot not far from Yunxi and also entered a meditative state.
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
When Mengde opened his eyes again and calmed his internal magical power, he saw six large flying boats emerging from the golden dawn at the end of the vast plain, eventually joining the large flying boat from Spirit Beast Mountain.
Spirit Beast Mountain, Hidden Moon Sect, Yellow Maple Valley, Heavenly Palace Fortress, Giant Sword Sect...
The seven major sects of Yue Kingdom and their seven fleets of cultivators finally met in the air near the Crimson Forbidden Land.
Standing on the flying boat of Spirit Beast Mountain, Meng De looked up and saw the leader of the team, True Person Lei Yun, fly into the sky to meet with the Core Formation elders of other sects.
Because the meeting place of the seven Core Formation elders was too far away, Meng De couldn't see anything clearly. He could only roughly understand from the fluctuations of their magical power that the Core Formation elders were probably mocking and ridiculing each other...
"Since when has someone at the tenth level of Qi Refining been qualified to participate in the trial?" The Core Formation Elder of Tianque Fortress glanced in the direction of Spirit Beast Mountain and spotted a piece of trash who was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
"..." Master Lei Yun of Spirit Beast Mountain's face twitched slightly, but he couldn't refute it. However, Master Lei Yun didn't see that Elder Li Huayuan, the Core Formation expert leading the Yellow Maple Valley team, also twitched slightly.
Because within the Yellow Maple Valley team, there was also a trial disciple at the tenth level of Qi Refining.
"Hmm? Or is it just trash with a pseudo-spiritual root?" Meng De felt a powerful divine sense sweep over him, and then he heard a mocking voice coming from high above.
At that moment, an old man with white hair, wearing a yellow disciple uniform, in the Yellow Maple Valley group subconsciously opened his eyes and looked over.
