I save spiritual roots for the next life.

Chapter 251 Join the Immortal Seeking Team

"There are still too few trump cards!"

In the dead of night, Li Jizhou sat quietly in the practice room and sighed secretly.

The eighteen treasure talismans and a set of talisman arrays are life-saving final cards and cannot be given to puppets.
Bai Yi needs to keep it in his Dantian as a last resort.

The ten immortal-killing flying knives are not warm enough to fight the enemy.

So what can be given to the puppet now is the shadow puppet and less than twenty third-order high-level talisman seals, plus three sets of chessboard killing formations.

This little strength is not enough to plot the longevity fruit in Wuji Immortal Palace.

His consciousness once again barely connected with the Swift Puppet, and now his field of vision could only maintain a glance.

Fortunately, the Swift Puppet had already sunk into the black water of the swamp and had not been taken away by others for the time being. This was also due to the shielding effect of the Shadow Cold Gold.

As for Guagua, it was actually completely unable to be sensed by the soul.

This made Li Jizhou faintly worried.

"Tianji City..." After pondering for a moment, Li Jizhou temporarily gave up the plan of letting the puppets look for the Swift Puppet.

A few days ago, he saw through the field of view of the Swift Puppet that where the Swift Puppet fell, there were many monks carrying puppets, and the level of the puppets they carried was generally not low.
Based on his preliminary understanding of the entire swamp power area in the past three years, he judged that it was most likely near Tianji City.

These are all real puppet masters, and he is afraid that if he uses a substitute puppet, he will fall into a trap.

If you can't bring back Xun Meng, then it would be too hurt to compensate Puppet and Shadow.

In the western part of the swamp, the closer it is to Nanling and Zhongzhou, the more powerful people appear. It is a place he cannot set foot in for the time being.

"We must create another high-level puppet for the puppet!"

I looked through the gifts sent by the Liu family.

The highest level is only a third-level intermediate treasure, but this is considered a heavy gift for the Liu family, which only has early-stage True Pill cultivators.

What's more, there is still the blood oath of Liu Hongling, the earth spirit master, so it doesn't matter whether he gives a gift or not.

That day, Zhenren Huang threw the gold-plated dragon beast to the Liu family after sealing the demon pill. As for whether Liu Hongling could succeed, he no longer cared.

If it works, it’s naturally great.
Having a humanoid treasure hunting tool that can sense the general trend of heaven and earth, integrate spiritual thoughts into heaven and earth, and sense the treasures and magic medicine in the area will be a great help to Li Jizhou in his search for the longevity fruit.

No, Li Jizhou didn't care too much, it was just a simple task.

In the next period of time, Huangshi Zhenren often appeared in the trading area in the outer city.

Find suitable quasi-fourth-level materials and your favorite demon elixir.

But it is a pity that there are very few treasure materials above the third level and intermediate level.

As for the puppet material, it is almost invisible.

Everyone in the swamp knows that Tianji City is the hometown of puppets. There are not only the most advanced and high-quality puppets there, but also countless highly skilled puppet masters.

The demand for puppet materials is even greater.

Therefore, as long as there are puppet materials, most monks will trade them in Tianji City.

In order to gather a set of materials for a fourth-level puppet, Master Huang Shi tried to take out a pregnancy pill in exchange.

But he was still disappointed.

The Pregnancy and Infant Pill is attractive to real people who are aspiring to the Nascent Soul and have been preparing for the Pregnancy and Infant since the elixir was formed, and it has long-term appeal.
But most of the alchemy cultivators take it one step at a time and don't start preparing things for infant transformation early.

Especially for the pill-forming monks in the swamp, there are opportunities and crises everywhere. Whether they will survive tomorrow is unknown, and they will not take the pregnancy pill for a long time a hundred years in advance.

They would rather exchange for elixirs or secret techniques and spiritual weapons that can improve their cultivation and strength in the short term.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, I have long said that this is a swamp, not the cultivation world you used to stay in. If you want anything here, just fight for it yourself. High-level materials are rarely traded." Master Tongshan learned about Huangshi in the past few days. The real person came to lobby again to seek puppet materials.

In particular, he secretly learned that the Liu family asked Master Huangshi to take action, and as a result, he captured a mid-level third-level monster, which made him even more sure of Huangshi's strength.

When exploring swamps, most of the dangers come from monsters. Huangshi Zhenren can capture the mid-level third-level monsters alive. This alone is comparable to the captain of the late-stage pill formation.

"Join us, and maybe you can get enough puppet materials in just a few times!"

This time, Master Huangshi did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

Not only for the puppet materials, but also for the longevity fruit in Wuji Immortal Palace that may appear at any time within a hundred years.

The biggest attraction of Hong Tian's team to Li Jizhou is the third-level treasure-hunting rat raised by their captain.

When the swamp is covered with black water, it is difficult for ordinary monks' spiritual consciousness to penetrate it.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Huang, it won't be long before you know that today's decision was correct!" Tongshan was overjoyed.

That day, Master Tongshan took Master Huangshan to a luxurious mansion in the inner city near the city lord's palace.

This mansion is not only the dojo of the leader of the Hongtian Team, but also the headquarters of the entire Hongtian Team. The team members can practice here. It has the permission to open the spirit gathering circle for a certain period of time every year, which is applied to the City Lord's Mansion at a high cost.

The entire Lone Bamboo City's large-scale immortal-seeking team is basically around here.

Most still hope to be protected by the City Lord's Mansion.

After all, the Immortal Hunting Team is out searching for treasures, and it is very common for them to form enemies and grudges.

This is also part of the reason why every large-scale immortal-seeking team actively recruits people to join the team.

Although the most dangerous thing about treasure hunting in the wilderness is monsters, the biggest danger is the monks from other immortal hunting teams.

In the wilderness, there are often two or more fairy-seeking teams fighting over a treasure.

Of course, the Xunxian Team is very different from ordinary sects. Only the members who participate in the Xunxian Fate can be distributed according to their work, and each player and the team are in a cooperative relationship, and there are no other binding responsibilities and obligations.

In addition to the distribution principle, there are also requirements for the review of those who join the team.

Either his strength cannot hold him back, or he has special abilities.

In a word, the Xunxian team does not raise idlers!

It cannot grow as strong as a sect family and can only rely on long-term interests.

However, based on what Li Jizhou has learned in the past three years, after years of development in the swamp, there is indeed a powerful immortal-seeking team. Although it is not a sect, it is comparable to many sects.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, come here, this is the headquarters of our Hongtian Immortal Seeking Team. In the future, most of the matters related to the Immortal Seeking Fate will be discussed here.
Alternatively, you can live here. "Tongshan enthusiastically led Master Huangshi and introduced him as he walked.

There were no doormen or servants at the entrance of the mansion, so Tongshan walked straight in with Master Huang Shi holding the jade talisman of entering the formation.

Li Jizhou sensed for a moment that the protective array here was only a third-level advanced one, which was comparable to his own small courtyard.

"Everyone, as expected, Pindao has finally invited a strong teammate to our team. You can come out and get familiar with him first."

Although Master Tongshan was in the early stage of pill formation, he still had the third level of body refining in the middle stage. He once managed to defeat the master in the late stage of pill formation and retreated with one blow.

Apart from his strength, what he is best at is communication.

Therefore, Hong Tian has been responsible for recruiting new team members in the team.

Each time a new team member is recruited and approved by more than half of the team members, one point of merit will be added to the next treasure hunt.

Following Tongshan's greeting, 11 people walked out of each courtyard of the mansion.

Among them is Zhenren He, who we met three years ago.

All 11 people are in the middle stage of pill formation, nine men and three women.

Obviously, Tongshan had already sent a message to these people when he was sure that he was coming.

The recruitment of the Immortal Hunting Team is related to the future joint treasure hunt and is directly related to everyone, so it naturally needs everyone's review.

"Huh? Where's the captain?" Master Tongshan waited for a moment, but when he didn't see the captain coming out, he asked.

"Who knows where he died? With such a captain, I have been miserable for eight lifetimes." One of them, a tall and thick-set yellow-faced female nun who obviously didn't care about her appearance, complained rudely. "Oh my, fellow Daoist Wang, can you please stop saying a few words? I didn't see Master Huang here." Tongshan changed his color immediately after hearing this. He worked hard for three years to convince Master Huangshi, and now this happened.

"Haha, fellow Daoist Huang, don't blame me. Fellow Daoist Wang is just like this. Our captain just got the news that a powerful Jindan Fellow has arrived in the city. He went to see him in person. I'm sorry." The other one looked particularly coquettish. The female cultivator smoothed her hair around her collarbone, looked at Huang Zhenren with a smile and explained.

The yellow-faced female cultivator didn't appreciate it. She glanced sideways at the coquettish female cultivator and pursed her lips.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, I'm really sorry. This... happened by chance, otherwise..." Tongshan looked embarrassed.

Li Jizhou waved his hands and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I understand a little about the rules. Now that it has been decided, fellow Taoists, let's start the review first. If you can't pass the test, fellow Taoists, there is no need to see the captain again."

"This..." Master Tongshan's prepared words were blocked, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

The yellow-faced female cultivator said unceremoniously: "What is this? Zhenren Huang said it himself, why are you still coquettish? What a bitch."

"Fellow Daoist Wang!" Master Tongshan frowned and looked at the yellow-faced female cultivator, feeling helpless.

The yellow-faced female cultivator ignored Master Tongshan, looked directly at Master Huangshi and said: "I can see the level of cultivation, so I won't talk about it. Can you tell me what your specialties are?
Since you want to join us in finding destiny together, then don’t be secretive, otherwise we won’t dare to leave our back to you! "

"That's right! It's best to tell us if you have any special means, so that everyone can make a judgment if you are in danger in the future."

"If you want to hide your clumsiness, I'm afraid it's better to be a lone wolf."

"I'll start with those ugly words. If you want to fish in troubled waters, or even hide evil intentions, I will not show mercy to Jinghong in my hands!"

"If you have the strength, you will still need to make the inner demon oath in the end, so there is no need to hide it."

……

Everyone opened their mouths.

Point out all the possible problems for newcomers in advance.

Li Jizhou was mentally prepared for this.

However... the person who made the oath was the puppet Huang Shizhen, and he had nothing to do with him, Li Jizhou, and it didn't matter at all.

"The poor Taoist is not good at attacking, but he is good at puppetry. He also has a secret technique of concealment. If he encounters danger, he can completely block the aura, so there is no need for fellow Taoists to worry."

The puppet thing has been traced since the acquisition of materials during this period. It cannot be covered up and there is no need to cover it up.

And since you have decided to join the Immortal Hunting Team, you need to rely on these people to hunt for treasures.

When there is not much difference in strength, the strength of a team is naturally much stronger than fighting alone. The most important thing is that these people have experience and can avoid many detours.

It's not like when I first traveled through time in my previous life, I thought I was the protagonist, always wanted to take all the benefits, and deceived everyone else as fools.

What I can think of, others have naturally thought of already.

"May I ask what level Huang Zhenren's puppet is? Does it have high defense characteristics? Does it have any special powers?"

When they heard that they were proficient in puppets, several team members looked forward to it.

Puppet is most suitable in the poisonous fog of the swamp, and in some treasure hunting processes, puppet can be used to find the way to lure the enemy.

However, precisely because of the many magical uses of puppets, the price of puppets is also extremely high. In addition, the losses are very high, and the general Xunxun team really does not have many high-level puppets.

A few years ago, the Hongtian team also had a third-level high-level puppet. However, within a few missions, it was swallowed by an unknown force deep in the swamp during an exploration.

That puppet was purchased from Tianji City in exchange for the funds raised by the entire team, after nearly a year of treasure hunting and a few quasi-fourth-level materials.

Later, they exchanged for several third-level elementary and intermediate ones, but they were all used up after a short period of use.

Level [-] and below are obviously not suitable for them.

"Fellow Taoists, Pindao has also said something before. Pindao's puppet is his whole body's property, and it is also Pindao's amulet. It must not be used as a consumable, and it cannot be too far away from Pindao. You can use it as Pindao's personal belongings. We will look at the strength of the battle!" Li Jizhou also vaccinated them in advance to put an end to some of their ideas.

"Oh?" Hearing this, everyone was slightly disappointed.

"Ha~ It seems that your puppet must be extraordinary?" The monk holding the Jinghong Spear had narrow eyebrows and was rather disdainful.

Li Jizhou had already paid attention to him. His magic power was obviously extraordinary, and he should be the only middle-stage golden elixir talent in the team that Tongshan mentioned before.

"I don't want to take him for granted. It's just a poor man's only trump card!" Li Jizhou smiled faintly.

"Hmph, if you are just an ordinary puppet, then you may not be qualified to join us!"

Li Jizhou was not annoyed and turned to look at him: "Then what kind of puppets are needed to be eligible to join?"

The golden elixir monk raised his spear in his hand and said, "If you can withstand three attacks against Nie, you will be qualified! You will even be qualified to not be a consumable!"

"Then please ask fellow Taoist for advice!"

Li Jizhou stopped talking nonsense and immediately released the shadow.

As soon as the shadow appeared, Li Jizhou deliberately controlled the power of the quasi-fourth-level puppet.

However, the shadow at this moment has changed its appearance. It is no longer dark all over, but is wearing a robe and golden armor, covering up its original appearance.

"Boom~"

The momentum carried by the shadow puppet made the scene suddenly stagnant.

This kind of momentum is three points stronger than their captain Duobao Zhenren.

Nie Jinghong's color changed instantly.

He guessed that Huangshi Zhenren was only in the middle stage of pill formation. Since he made the puppet himself, he could only be at the third level of advanced level at most.

As for his mid-stage golden elixir strength, even when facing the captain Duobao Zhenren, he would not give in too much.

However, he never expected that the puppet he owned turned out to be a quasi-fourth-level puppet.

With such power, it would be difficult for him to win, let alone defeat the enemy in three moves!
"Hmph! I have no objection!" Nie Jinghong immediately put away his spear, turned around and left.

Still a little tsundere?Li Jizhou smiled slightly in his heart.

"Haha, okay, okay, Zhenren Huang has such a powerful puppet, Hong Tian's head-on fighting ability will be improved to a higher level! I have no objection."

"Huang Zhenren, this puppet of yours is so powerful, I can't help but want to touch it. Remember to let it protect me more in the future!"

"Welcome Daoist Huang to join us, and I hope you will take care of us in the future."

"Fellow Daoist Huang, since we have all passed, the captain will definitely pass as well. Welcome."

……

As soon as the shadow appeared, it was recognized by everyone without even showing its magical power.

Li Jizhou nodded with satisfaction.

He had expected this result.

The shadow is almost at the fourth level and incorporates the half-step dragon-turning black snake demon elixir. It also has black scales inlaid on the body. As long as the shadow cold gold is not used to restrain the aura, its explosive power will be the same as that of the half-step dragon-turning black snake. generally.

Moreover, the quasi-fourth-level puppet is already comparable to the strength of the late-stage pill formation. Even the swift puppet, which is inferior to Shadow in all aspects, can instantly kill the late-stage pill formation demon cultivator in the southern region. Shadow is naturally not inferior.

Li Jizhou nodded and took back the shadow, and was about to leave.

At this moment, the magic circle of the mansion moved slightly, the door opened, and a group of three people walked in.

"Captain, you've missed the show! Come on, come on, this is Huangshi Zhenren. Just now..." Tongshan hurriedly greeted him, but in the middle of the sentence, he saw two unfamiliar faces behind the captain, so he said the second half The words were swallowed back.

After all, some secrets between the teams cannot be revealed to outsiders.

"Master Huang, it's a pleasure to meet you. Master Pindao Duobao is the captain of Hongtian. He doesn't like to fight and kill in his life, he only loves to hunt for treasures!"

Duobao Zhenren is rich and festive, with a rosy face. He is not like a master in the late stage of alchemy, but like a businessman in the secular world, the kind of businessman who is eager to see money.

However, Li Jizhou was more focused on the two people behind him at the moment.

It turned out to be Yu Ziyu and Zhou Cang wearing phaseless masks!
