Shi Yue builds his foundation
After accepting the task, she began to think about finding people to form a team.
The training tasks for disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Qi Refining Stage are generally relatively simple. They are either dealing with some monsters wreaking havoc in mortal cities and villages, or investigating some cases. Naturally, there is no requirement that they all must be in the Qi Refining Stage or the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Qin Baoyao counted on her fingers who to team up with, but found that people she had a good relationship with, such as Bu Jitong and Yu Ying, could not team up because they had reached the Golden Core stage, not to mention her brother. After thinking about it, it turned out that it was only her and Shi Yue.
Two people are not enough for the task she took on.
If I had known earlier, I would have taken on a task that could be done by two people.
She stared at the sect's task list, and then discovered in disbelief that below the Jindan stage, there were single-person tasks, five-person tasks, and ten-person tasks, but no two-person tasks.
"Why aren't there any two-person missions?!" she asked the manager in confusion.
"Either you are strong enough or you know how to work in a team." The manager said without raising his head.
"Don't two people have to cooperate?" Qin Baoyao was puzzled. Who said that two people can't cooperate?
"Really?" The manager looked up at her. "Two people, one strong leading the weak, the strong one doing the work, the weak one picking up the slack, is this cooperation?"
Qin Baoyao scratched her face and remembered that she had done this kind of task before. She was just a pendant throughout the whole process and it really had nothing to do with cooperation.
"What? Are you going to change your mind?" The manager held a pen, ready to mark her as soon as she said "yes".
Unless it is due to force majeure, if you accept a task and then refuse to carry it out, you will be blacklisted if you do this too many times.
"No, no, no, I'll do it, I'll do it." Qin Baoyao waved her hands hurriedly. It was better to choose by herself than to let her brother, parents and others choose for her.
On the way back, Qin Baoyao always felt that something was wrong. In the past, when I was going to do missions to gain experience, they were all very nervous. Why did the treatment suddenly change? Last time, they asked me to find someone for actual combat, and as soon as I agreed, they began to take turns staring at me and asking me to find someone to fight and exchange ideas.
This time I was allowed to go out and gain experience. Something was not right, something was really not right.
With a face full of confusion, she first returned to Baoyao Pavilion and found Shi Yue, who had nowhere to go because she had destroyed the yard. She told him about the team training. Shi Yue nodded to show that he understood and asked when they would set off.
Qin Baoyao circled around him and asked: "Are you going to be promoted again?" Ever since Qin Baoyao established her foundation, she could see Shi Yue's cultivation level, not to mention that he had advanced to the late stage of foundation building, which made it even more obvious.
"Yes, but you can come back after completing the mission and then get promoted." Shi Yue didn't care much. He was not keen on cultivation.
"No, you have to get promoted first. When you become stronger, you will be able to fight better." After Qin Baoyao figured it out and lay down for a while, she fell in love with this feeling. She hoped that everyone around her would roll up their sleeves, and roll up more and more, so that she could lie down with peace of mind.
Shi Yue couldn't persuade her, and finally decided to get promoted first.
During this period, Shi Yue was preparing the things he needed for promotion, and Qin Baoyao went to harass the disciples in the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stages. In the past, the training team mainly relied on her to spend money. After all, it was only the second level of Qi Refining at that time, and it was impossible for her to find a bunch of noobs in the first, second, and third levels of Qi Refining to train with. Wouldn't that mean the whole team would be wiped out?
Those people didn't let her join the team. After all, she was spoiled and willful at that time. She just wanted to gain experience and bring servants to serve her.
Although she is not just a pendent every time during training, and sometimes she also tries hard to fight monsters and contribute, but teaming up with her means that the team has two people in the Qi Refining stage, and they are at the second or third level of Qi Refining, so you have to put in more effort.
So she learned to spend money and resources. Usually she would look for poor swordsmen so that she could get a bargain.
But now she is already in the late foundation building stage. Even though her brothers have said that sword cultivators in the foundation building stage have little practical experience, it does not mean they cannot fight. So she not only wants to find sword cultivators, but also wants to try to team up with medical cultivators or music cultivators. She has been envious of the music cultivators for a long time because they get bonuses when they play music, which is much more useful than sticking talismans.
On this day, she finally gathered all the people together, three sword cultivators, one medical cultivator and one music cultivator. For her, who was responsible for solving the problem of monsters, it was a perfect team.
So on the day she formed the team, Shi Yue also prepared the promotion materials and was about to start advancing.
When Shi Yue first came to Qin Baoyao from being an outer disciple, he was at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Later, when Qin Baoyao made a big step forward in building the foundation, he also reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. However, compared with Qin Baoyao, it did not seem so surprising.
This time he had a hunch that he would build his foundation directly.
He found an open space behind the courtyard of Baoyao Pavilion and set up a spirit gathering array. He looked at Qin Baoyao, who seemed very interested in his promotion and was eager to protect him. After thinking for a moment, he said in advance: "Junior Sister, I think you should stay away from me. I may need to survive the thunder tribulation."
"What?" Qin Baoyao was still enthusiastically planning who to find to form a team for training, but was shocked when she heard this.
Survive the thunder tribulation???
"Are you going to build your foundation?"
"I have a hunch."
"Huh? Wait a minute, wait a minute." Hearing the thunder tribulation, Qin Baoyao jumped up and pushed him: "Move over there, don't get so close."
She thought about the time when she was going through a thunder tribulation and the thunder from the sky destroyed Shi Yue's yard, and then looked at her Baoyao Pavilion.
"I calculated the distance and I can't hit Baoyao Pavilion." Shi Yue said after seeing her actions.
"No, move over there." The yard cannot be hit at all.
There was no other way, Shi Yue had to move further away from Baoyao Pavilion, which meant that the spirit gathering array had to be rearranged again.
After moving far enough away, Qin Baoyao nodded and said, "That's it." Then she flew into the air on her sword and let Shi Yue start.
Shi Yue's promotion was very fast, faster than her previous two times. The thunder was very thick, but the speed was super fast.
Qin Baoyao looked at the thunderbolt, which seemed to be in a hurry to complete its task, and scratched her head in confusion: Is it really that urgent? Not even a moment to breathe? "Swish, swish, swish"!
She watched Shi Yue being struck by lightning, and before he could react, the next thunder came. She felt like cursing the heavens.
Qin Jun, who was startled by the first thunder tribulation, didn't care about anything else when he saw that it was Baoyao Pavilion. He rushed to the vicinity and found that it was Shi Yue who was relieved after the tribulation. He saw his sister looking at the sky angrily, pointing her finger, and looking like she was about to curse someone. So when Qin Baoyao just cursed "Damn God", he covered her mouth.
"Sister, you can't scold me! It's not like we won't advance and overcome the tribulation. We still have to live our lives." It didn't matter if he scolded her. Anyway, if the lightning struck him and didn't kill him, he would scold her. But my sister couldn't do that. With her small body, if the evil God held a grudge against her and struck her hard, my sister might not be able to bear it.
Just as one of them wanted to curse and the other wanted to stop him, Shi Yue had already passed the thunder tribulation.
Shi Yue, disheveled and covered in dust, walked towards them.
"It's so dark..." Qin Baoyao said to her brother Cricket.
"You were like this before." Qin Jun didn't expect that this was what his sister cared about.
“I can’t see what I look like.”
Shi Yue looked at the place where no grass grew because of the thunder tribulation he endured, then looked at the pit two meters away from Baoyao Pavilion, and fell silent.
If it weren't for Qin Baoyao's persistence, it might have really hit Baoyao Pavilion.
And let alone the spirit gathering array he set up later, the one he set up at the beginning was already shaky. Moreover, if it weren't for this spirit gathering array, he suspected that the spiritual energy he had when he just passed the tribulation would not be enough.
However, the movement of his foundation-building still alarmed other people in the sect. After all, it was near Baoyao Pavilion. Ever since Qin Baoyao inexplicably built his foundation and then inexplicably advanced to the late stage of foundation-building, it attracted the attention of many people.
They couldn't enter Baoyao Pavilion, but that didn't stop them from seeing this scene from afar.
At first, everyone thought that Qin Baoyao had formed a pill in such a short time.
When someone got closer, they found out that the person undergoing the tribulation was Shi Yue.
Now, some are happy and some are sad.
Most of the sect leader and his companions were happy. Compared to when Qin You accepted a disciple, many people were dissatisfied with him accepting Shi Yue as his disciple. What's worse, there was a rumor circulating in the cultivation world that because Qin Baoyao was too useless, Qin You simply accepted someone who was even more useless than his daughter to make his daughter look less useless. The rumor even said that not only would Qin You not give Shi Yue, a disciple, cultivation resources, but he would also give the resources that should be given to his disciple to his daughter Qin Baoyao.
As rumors spread, a lot of people felt that their Guiyi Sect was doomed to have such an elder and the next generation of disciples.
After all, even the sect leader and other elders couldn't prevent such a thing from happening. Doesn't this prove that they can't distinguish between public and private?
Is a sect that doesn't distinguish between public and private affairs really about connections? What's the point of having good talent? Wouldn't joining the Guiyi Sect just be a stepping stone?
Even some people in Guiyi Sect had this idea. Even if Qin Gu and the others wanted to clarify, others would not listen. In addition, when Shi Yue became their disciple, he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, which was not good enough in the eyes of many people.
This is very unfavorable for the subsequent recruitment of disciples for Guiyi Sect. After all, if Qin You Miqing, as a parent, favors their daughter Qin Baoyao, people can understand it, but if they really monopolize the resources of Shi Yue, a disciple, that is another matter.
After Qin Baoyao's promotion, Qin Gu and the others became even more worried. They were afraid that Qin Baoyao would be promoted rapidly after a hundred generations, while Shi Yue would stagnate. That would really confirm the rumors.
Fortunately, the disciple Shi Yue also established his foundation. What's more, he crossed the level and established his foundation from the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Qin Gu and other elders originally thought that Qin Baoyao had been promoted again, so they gathered together for a meeting to discuss how to keep the news secret. However, when they heard from the disciples who went to the scene to inquire about the news that it was Shi Yue who had reached the foundation-building stage, they immediately changed their strategy.
"First, finish writing the manuscript, then let Shi Yue's disciple find someone to discuss it with, and then do this... this... this..."
A group of people were discussing heatedly, but they did not consult with the parties involved.
