Chapter 1138 First Meeting of the Team
"Everyone, welcome our new team member, Shi Jia, the first student in Green Emerald to study four majors, the first student in Green Emerald to rank first in all four majors, and the first green-rank spirit weapon master in Green Emerald's first year!" Liu Zhan delivered a passionate speech.

Shi Jia covered her face upon hearing this, wishing she could dig a hole in the ground and disappear into it.

The others were also dumbfounded.

"Clap your hands!" Liu Zhan clapped vigorously, while the others sparsely echoed his call.

"Hmph! Quite the pomp and circumstance." A discordant voice came from the crowd. Shi Jia subconsciously looked over and saw that the speaker was a tall and strong boy. He had a handsome face, but he wore a look of disgust, which made him look less attractive.

"Are you Dai Yuxuan?" Shi Jia asked with a smile, having already seen the information on the Qinglan team members.

"So what if it is?" Dai Yuxuan rolled her eyes at him, then turned around and went to train on the side.

This made everyone else quite embarrassed. "Um, Shi Jia, don't mind him. That's just how Dai Yuxuan is. Just ignore him," Liu Zhan said, forcing himself to speak.

"Hmm." Although it was indeed unpleasant, Shi Jia didn't mind, since they weren't familiar with each other. "Captain, can we start the purification now? Who wants to go first?"

Last month, due to the end of the semester, he did not participate in team activities. According to the contract, he is required to perform a purification for the team members once a month.

Lu Tianxue was stunned for a moment, "Purification? Are you sure?" Her original plan was to let Shi Jia and the team members get acquainted so that they could go hunting in the Black Zone three days later.

"Hmm, didn't I miss last month? You don't need to make it up?" Shi Jia raised an eyebrow; he had received crystals after all.

"Okay, who wants to go first?" Lu Tianxue looked at her teammates.

"Me! Me!" Cheng Zi was the first to respond.

"Me first!" But someone else shouted even louder and faster.

Shi Jia was startled when he saw the person who suddenly appeared in front of him. "Um, Senior Dai Yuxuan, you don't have to be in such a hurry. I will purify all the team members today."

"Hmph!" Dai Yuxuan only let out a cold snort. "Hurry up, I still have training to do!"

"Okay, sit down." Shi Jia looked around; there were no chairs in the training room, but it didn't matter. After purifying, he hurried back to materialize his spirit swords; he only needed three more to bend them.

Shi Jia summoned a paintbrush with a jade handle. The color of the brush had become more intense, turning into dark green. It seemed that it would soon be promoted to the green tier.

Seeing this, everyone exchanged knowing glances. This new teammate was more capable than they had imagined! Before they could finish their exclamations, a small, emerald-green sapling appeared in the air, its roots quickly taking hold between Dai Yuxuan's eyebrows.

"What are you doing!" Dai Yuxuan exclaimed in shock and anger.

"Don't be afraid, this is my purification method." Shi Jia quickly had the other Qi roots bind him to prevent him from interfering with her treatment.

Dai Yuxuan stared intently at Shi Jia, looking as if he wanted to devour him, but this fierce expression did not last long.

He suddenly felt a warmth spread through his body, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace. He couldn't help but groan, but he immediately shut his mouth, clenched his teeth, and scrunched up his face, looking quite comical.

"Pfft~" Liu Zhan and Huang Qi pointed and whispered among themselves.

Dai Yuxuan's face turned bright red, and she became increasingly embarrassed and annoyed.

Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out, "Alright, next one."

Dai Yuxuan was taken aback. What was done? He... he hadn't had enough... he was still feeling unsatisfied. But the boy was thin-skinned, and the next second he expressionlessly turned over and stood up, returning straight to the training area.

Shi Jia couldn't help but laugh, "Who's next?"

"Me! Me!" Cheng Zi rushed over, looking at the sapling with curiosity. "Junior Shi Jia, what is this?"

"My spiritual technique?" Shi Jia was somewhat uncertain. Actually, it should be a contracted spirit pet, but since he drew it himself, it was difficult to define.

"Spiritual magic?" Cheng Zi's mouth dropped open. "Spiritual magic with a physical form?"

“You could think of it that way,” Shi Jia said, gesturing for her to sit down. This time, the sapling gently extended its aerial root and nestled between Cheng Zi's eyebrows. Soon, the latter slumped comfortably to the ground, purring softly like a kitten. Shi Jia raised an eyebrow. “Next!”

"I!"

"I'll go!" This time, it was Lu Tianxue who cut in line. She was very curious and had never seen such a purification technique before.

"Who's coming?" Shi Jia looked at Liu Zhan and Lu Tianxue.

"Captain, go first," Liu Zhan offered.

Lu Tianxue sat up straight on her own. The root of the aura pierced her forehead, and she curiously touched it with her hand. It really was a solid object! A strange light flashed in her eyes.

Spiritual arts do not have a physical form; only spiritual artifacts have a physical form!

After all, drawing spiritual spells doesn't require paint (basic substances), only sufficient energy! Did Jia use paint when she drew this sapling?

Before Lu Tianxue could continue thinking, she was overwhelmed by a feeling of comfort, and no other word besides "comfortable" came to mind.

When she came to her senses, she saw her five teammates collapsed beside her. The culprit was wiping his hands with a handkerchief. Seeing her awake, he smiled gently at her, "Captain, I've completed last month's purification mission. Is there anything else today?"

Lu Tianxue shook her head, "No."

"Okay, I'll head back now. Everyone get some rest today, we can train again tomorrow." Shi Jia said, picking up her backpack and turning to leave.

"Wait!" Dai Yuxuan looked at him with a sour face.

"What is it?" Although the arrogant boy was quite interesting, he was really annoying.

"Don't think that just because you purified everyone today, I'll look up to you." Dai Yuxuan said with her head held high, "Someone like you who is greedy for money and has no team spirit doesn't deserve to be respected."

Shi Jia was taken aback. Was he talking about him? When did he become so greedy for money and lack team spirit? Wasn't this their first meeting?

"Dai Yuxuan! Shut up! If you talk nonsense again, you'll get double the training tonight!" Lu Tianxue's shrewish side reappeared. After scolding Dai Yuxuan, she looked at Shi Jia, "Junior Shi Jia, please don't take this person seriously. Just pretend you didn't hear what he said."

Shi Jia nodded. "Okay, I understand. I'll be leaving now if there's nothing else."

“Okay.” Lu Tianxue nodded.

Watching the other person completely disappear from sight, Lu Tianxue turned to Dai Yuxuan and asked, "What happened to you? Did he offend you?"

Dai Yuxuan's expression was unpleasant. "I didn't say anything wrong. If he's so powerful, why doesn't he equip everyone with green-grade spiritual artifacts? Besides, look how easily he purified things today. Purification is clearly just a matter of lifting a finger for him, so why did he collect so many crystals from the team? Clearly..."

"Snapped!"

"Oh!"

Dai Yuxuan fell off the wall and rolled twice on the ground. "Ouch! You, hey, why did you hit me!"

Lu Tianxue withdrew her hand. "Are you awake now?"

Dai Yuxuan was confused, or rather, too painful to think.

“If you’re not sober, I’ll make you sober again.” Lu Tianxue took a deep breath. “I don’t understand where you get your confidence from.”

"Do you think that a Cleansing Spirit Master like Junior Brother Shi Jia is a monstrous beast in the Black Zone? You can find them everywhere? Or do you think that ten green crystals a month and a subsidy of five thousand yuan can hire a Cleansing Spirit Master who is at least at the Green Rank?"

Such conditions are indeed very high for a first or second-year Spirit Purifier, as they have only recently awakened their powers. Their strength is weak, and it takes them a long time to purify even a Yellow-rank Spirit, sometimes only one person per day.

But Shi Jia is a fully-fledged Spirit Master!
