Chapter 382: Chapter 382: Squad (Request for Monthly Votes)

The two Primordial Pill Elders, busy with endless duties, were also alarmed by the Heart Plucker and, after handling the situation, they floated away.

Large numbers of disciples scattered, but Sima Shu and Lan Ying’er stayed behind.

Sima Shu, holding a scroll, laughed, "Senior Brother, I’m in charge of handling the mundane matters of this blessed land. The A-Shen Team assigned to Junior Brother includes a dwelling, a section of spiritual veins, and various materials and elixir pills for cultivation. For personnel, there are two Superpower Disciples, ten Outer Door Gang Sha Disciples accompanied by one Wind-Riding Divine Shuttle. You’re required to patrol a five hundred miles radius around Qingfeng Mountain Ridge daily and directly slay any demons and monsters you encounter."

’That real big demon might just be suppressed beneath this blessed land...’

As Zhong Shenxiu walked through the camp, he suddenly felt a heart-thumping sensation.

He feigned composure and asked, "Junior Brother slew the Heart Plucker, earning a great merit. I wonder what benefits there are?"

"Haha, naturally there are."

Sima Shu said, "Our sect has established a merit ranking list, from elixir pills, magic artifacts, to Daoist Skills... even the rank of a Daoist Official can be exchanged, guaranteed to be fair to both young and old."

After all, during wartime, rewards were relatively transparent and there was little skimming, otherwise, it would fail to motivate the cultivators at the front lines to risk their lives.

"Oh? Are there cultivation techniques available?"

Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes lit up.

"Of course, there was an Outer Door Gang Sha Cultivator who, by a stroke of luck, capitalized on the internal strife of two Demon Path Divine Power Practitioners, picking off their heads, and was directly promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, inheriting the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book’..."

Lan Ying’er laughed and said, "Junior Brother, what cultivation technique would you like to exchange for?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the expression on Sima Shu’s face and realized she had said something wrong. She quickly covered her mouth.

"Haha, although my foundation has been damaged, I still wish to climb the Dao once more... perhaps heaven will take pity on me, and I may carve out a path of my own."

Zhong Shenxiu’s expression was animated and infectious, "I’ve heard that within our sect, only True Disciples may cultivate the ’Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture’... That might resolve the difficulties in my body."

"This..." Sima Shu thought, could the irrevocable edicts of Master Jiu Ru be reversed?

But at that moment he just said, "Even if such a True Inheritance were available for exchange, I fear Junior Brother’s merits might still be insufficient... Moreover, the truly good items on the exchange list are controlled in the hands of two Great Masters. If Junior Brother has this desire, you might as well go and have a word with the Great Masters."

’I say, hell no. Someone with no hope for a Primordial Pill wants to exchange for the ’Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture’, and needs at least the Primordial Spirit Chapter - even a fool would know there’s a problem.’

Zhong Shenxiu rolled his eyes, knowing that although the path of merit seemed hopeful, it was actually unfeasible.

’Sure enough, the only reliable thing to count on is oneself.’

’Primordial Pill, Primordial Pill, right... the Primordial Pill Elders of the Taishang Dragon Tiger Sect must have been taught the ’Supreme Dragon Tiger Tribulation Suppressing Scripture’; there might be a greater chance of digging it out of their heads... Master Jiu Ru, huh?’

While chatting and laughing, the three of them arrived in front of a dwelling.

This wooden building was towering and large, situated beside a lake.

From the lake, extremely pure primordial energy overflowed at all times, which was probably the spiritual vein mentioned by Sima Shu.

Practicing rites here allowed Acquired Martial Artists to advance more easily to Innate, and also greatly increased the chances for Innate Martial Practitioners to condense mana.

Even for Gang Sha Cultivators’ sitting meditation and breathing exercises, it had certain benefits.

But Zhong Shenxiu didn’t care much for it.

As the three just arrived, from within the dwelling, two streaks of escape light rushed out, transforming into one male and one female Divine Power Practitioner.

Then, ten Gang Sha Cultivators followed, either riding magic artifacts or various Gang winds, their reactions much slower.

"Greetings to Brother Sima."

"Greetings to Junior Master Sima..."

Sima Shu nodded his acknowledgment and then said, "This Su Daoshi, Junior Brother Su, is your new team leader. Why haven’t you paid your respects yet?"

A group of people exchanged glances and continued to bow, "We’ve met the team leader."

Zhong Shenxiu returned the gesture, and heard Lan Ying’er’s transmitted message: "Junior Brother Su, the man is called Huang Xuanji, his most powerful divine skill is the Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal, and the woman is Wei Chi Juan, specializing in the divine skill that revives dead wood to spring."

’A third-grade and a fourth-grade... they are both almost demoted to the Outer Door.’

Zhong Shenxiu muttered to himself, ’Could it be that I’ve seen too many superpower experts, and now encountering these two, somehow they even feel a bit familiar.’

Of course, no matter what, these two were still somewhat stronger than the likes of the White Bone Scholar.

Perhaps, they could even match up to the Loose Cultivators like the Poison Dragon Venerable.

They’re still weak chickens!

"And... this Thunderous Wind Howl, which was originally Lu Qingzi’s personal belonging. Since he didn’t have any nephews or disciples, I took the liberty of letting it follow Junior Brother for now."

Sima Shu pointed at a sneaky lion-dog that was following the group and smiled, "Junior Brother must be busy with things, so we’ll take our leave first."

"That’s great."

As soon as the two were gone, Huang Xuanji showed a happy expression: "With the addition of this Thunderous Wind Howl, it’s comparable to a superpower expert, and its fleeing speed is extremely fast. Even if things go south, it can carry us to escape, and the enemies won’t be able to keep up..."

’Yeah... the two of you combined might still not be a match for it.’

Zhong Shenxiu rolled his eyes and saw Wei Chi Juan offering a graceful bow: "I’ve met Su Team Leader. I heard that despite starting from a humble beginning, you managed to cultivate the Nine Clears Divine Light Great Divine Power. I admire you."

At that moment, Huang Xuanji seemed to finally compare Zhong Shenxiu with someone he recalled from memory: "So you’re that Dao General?!"

"Cough cough!"

Wei Chi Juan tugged on Huang Xuanji’s sleeve, apologizing, "Please forgive us, Team Leader. When Brother Huang was practicing the Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal, he encountered a mishap. Dragon energy entered his brain, and since then... his brain hasn’t worked quite right..."

"Let it go, let it go..."

Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand.

A simpleton and a fourth-grade divine power practitioner, along with these crooked Gang Sha Realm fruits, was this indeed a fodder unit?

Even myself, in the eyes of the sect leaders, was probably just a higher-grade fodder.

It won’t change by achieving great deeds.

Who told me there was no hope for my Primordial Pill?

"So... Wei Chi Juan, you can continue to take care of the miscellaneous duties in the team. I’m going to go into seclusion. Just call me when it’s time for patrol."

Zhong Shenxiu casually issued the order, about to pick a quiet room for himself in the hermitage when he suddenly paused and asked, "Where is your previous team leader?"

Wei Chi Juan replied with a somber expression, "Senior Brother Li encountered ’Little Demon Dragon’ Xue Mang from the Yellow Spring Demon Sect during the last patrol. He covered our retreat and was killed by Xue Mang..."

Although this Xue Mang was not among the True Disciples, to make a name for himself among Divine Power Practitioners meant he was certainly a tough character.

"I see."

Zhong Shenxiu nodded his head and entered the hermitage.

Wei Chi Juan then turned to Huang Xuanji with joy, "With Su Team Leader at the helm, who has cultivated a First Grade Great Divine Power, we are in good hands now, truly in good hands..."

These disciples, who were almost demoted to the Outer Door, in reality, didn’t have much hope for Core Formation, let alone placing much importance on some grand path of the future.

Su’s Divine Power First Grade, with combat power that matched True Inheritors, was enough to ensure their safety!
