Chapter 40: Journey to Beiming Mountain

When Ji Qingling saw them coming, he stopped what he was doing.

"How was it? How did it feel to be greeted by a voice message so early in the morning?"

Ji Hui shrugged her nose. "You're usually very stingy, so why don't you feel bad about wasting these two talismans?"

"Weren't we worried that you guys wouldn't come today because of something else? Did you get the message yesterday?"

"You mean Ji Hong told us to gather at the Mission Hall tomorrow?"

"kindness."

Ji Qingyuan also inquired about it these days.

"Anyway, since this is the first time for everyone to go on a mission with them, we should be careful. I have already told Ji Mengxin and Ji Qiao."

Ji Qingling was curious about Ji Mengxin's attitude, "What did Sister Mengxin say?"

Ji Qingyuan disagreed, "Of course he thinks we are overthinking it, but Ji Qiao seems to have listened to it."

"Then we'll see what happens tomorrow. After all, outsiders don't know what's going on."

The three of them discussed tomorrow's affairs and went back to prepare.

Ji Qingling had cleaned out his things before coming to Taiyi Sect, and nothing actually changed.

Weapons: low-grade magic weapon, the short spike Huaguang Thorn, and medium-grade spiritual weapon, the long sword Lingxi.

For defense, Ji Linhai gave me the top-grade magic weapon, the Silver Moon Armor.

Pills, rejuvenation pills for healing, soul-replenishing pills for replenishing spiritual energy.

Talismans, I have made quite a lot of talismans myself, including power talismans, speed talismans, defense talismans, and sound transmission talismans.

Some of the first three types have already been forced upon Ji Qingyuan and Ji Hui.

If you dislike her talisman now, there will be a day when you will beg me to draw the talisman for you.

~ The next day, in front of the mission hall, Ji Qingling met the other ten members of the Ji family. The one with the highest cultivation level was Senior Brother Hong.

Among them there are actually some who have reached the third level of Qi Refining. They must have been in Taiyi Sect for at least ten years. Ten years to reach the third level of Qi Refining?

There was one when I was in the Ji Family. He was unable to break through the initial stage of Qi Refining at the age of several dozen. I just didn’t expect that after entering the Taiyi Sect, the cultivation speed would be so slow.

"Everyone is here. I will take the mission on behalf of the team. You guys wait here first and give me your sect jade tokens. I will take the mission."

"Do we need a jade token to accept the mission?" The five newcomers naturally didn't know.

Ji Hong patiently explained, "There are two types of Taiyi Sect missions. One is issued by the sect, which has rewards and contribution points. You have to take the jade token to register for the mission. When the mission is completed, the sect's contribution points will be recorded on your jade token. These contribution points are used to exchange for skills or magic tools in the future. The other is issued by individual disciples, which only has rewards but no contribution points."

~ Beiming Mountain.

The mountains everywhere are similar, with lush trees and blooming wild flowers.

Ji Qingling and his team's mission today is to collect snake lotus and hunt ironback lizards.

Snake grass likes light and mostly grows on hillsides or cliffs without tall trees to block the shade.

Although Qi-refining monks cannot fly, they know how to make their bodies light, and steep mountain walls are no problem for them.

There was a body-refining practitioner at the sixth level of Qi training in the team. He took out a few long ropes from his storage bag, tied them to a large rock, then sat down and began to practice.

"Junior Sister Hui, Junior Sister Qingling, do you want to go down and give it a try?"

"We?" They looked at each other at the same time. Yes, it's feasible. Let's give it a try.

"Senior Brother Hong, is it safe down there?" Ji Qingyuan was a little worried about the two people who had just arrived.

"Brother Qingyuan, don't worry. We have been down there before and have footholds everywhere. If there is any danger, we can just use the Light Body Technique to get back up."

"Okay, I'll go. Please tell me about the situation below, Brother Hong."

Ji Qingling took the rope and pulled it, and it was indeed very tight.

"Tie the rope around your waists. The four of you will each be responsible for a location and go down to look for the snake lotus. Don't worry, Ji Man is here. He will protect you if there is any unusual movement. If you get tired halfway, just pull the rope and jump up a few times."

Ji Qingling understood that it was similar to rock climbing, and she knew the art of light body movement, so it was actually easier and safer.

After tying the rope, she began to descend, with Ji Hui following her on her left.

After finding a foothold, Ji Hui pulled the rope and said, "This is quite interesting."

Ji Qingling nodded, "Let's get to work."

The task of collecting herbs is actually quite easy, but the snakewort is very small and it is difficult to find it when it is not in bloom.

They searched back and forth on the cliff, using the light body technique to move lightly, like a happy little bird.

From time to time you may encounter small snakes or insects, but they are not very harmful.

More than an hour passed quickly, and Ji Hui gestured to her, "I'm so tired, I'll go up first."

Ji Qingling nodded and continued with the other two.

Another person next to her praised her, "Junior sister, you have great endurance. It's not easy to last so long at the third level of Qi Refining."

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister. I am almost there too."

When another one of the three finished his task and went up, Ji Qingling also greeted the woman next to him.

"Senior sister, I'll go up first."

She grabbed the rope with one hand, lightly tapped her toes, and leaped up in a few leaps.

As soon as she stopped, Ji Hui called her, "Qingling, this way."

She looked around but didn't see Ji Qingyuan. "Where's my brother?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Senior Brother Hong has taken a few people to look for the Ironback Lizard."

Ji Huihou sat on the grass with her hands propped up, "Did you bring any food?"

"Why? Miss Ji Hui's storage bag can't hold food?"

Although Ji Qingling complained, he still took out food from his storage bag.

"Yes, but I don't know why, but I think the food you brought tastes better."

The two of them laughed and joked together. Although Taiyi Sect's food was spiritual food, it was not that delicious.

Ji Qingling missed home from time to time, mainly because he missed the spicy oil noodles, meat pie, iced fruit tea and other delicious foods.

"I heard there are a lot of delicious food and fun things in the market at the foot of the mountain. Why don't we find some time to go shopping there?"

Ji Hui also felt that being in Taiyi Sect, all she did was practice, which was much more boring than being at home.

"There is a Tianshangju in the market town. Their steamed crab with flower wine is a specialty."

A female voice interrupted at the right time. It was the female cultivator who was just beside Ji Qingling.

"Senior sister."

"Senior sister."

The two men stood up and saluted.

"My name is Ji Xia."

"Hello, Senior Sister Xia, my name is Ji Qingling."

"Hello, Senior Sister Xia, my name is Ji Hui."

"I know you. You are the Ninth Elder's Pearl. This Junior Sister is the one who came back from Xiaowangshan, right?"

Ji Qingling didn't expect that she would know him, "Senior sister knows me?"

Ji Xia shook her head, "I've heard them mention it."

I guess Ji Mengxin mentioned it, after all, there are a brother and sister coming to their house this time.

Ji Xia sat down next to Ji Qingling and looked at them. "Seeing you reminds me of my childhood at home. My father always took me to eat delicious food. Every time we passed by a tea shop, he had a kind of ice-cold tea that was delicious."

When people are away from home, they always miss the taste of their hometown.

Ji Qingling took out a small pot from the storage bag, "Senior Sister Xia, try it and see if it's this kind?"

Ji Xia was a little surprised to taste the familiar flavor, "That's it, I haven't tasted it for a long time."

Ji Hui had never seen her in the family before and was a little curious, "Senior Sister Xia, which uncle is your father?"

The hand holding the pot paused for a moment, and Ji Xia replied: "My father had an accident more than 20 years ago and is no longer with us. There is no one else in the family. I have not been back to the Ji family for 20 years."

Ji Hui felt a little regretful, and Ji Qingling didn't know how to respond.

Ji Xia smiled faintly, "Nothing, the road is lonely."
