Wanfa Daojun, starting from the Little Cloud and Rain Technique

Chapter 61 Joining the Team
After entering the private room, Ji An began to assess the strength of the opposing team.

Chu He and another slightly fatter cultivator named Tian were at the eighth level of Qi Refining, while the other two were at the ninth level, all of which were at a fairly high level.

There was a hint of murderous intent in the gestures of these people, and a hint of fierceness occasionally flashed in their eyes. It seemed that they had hunted many monsters.

"Not bad, the team seems quite vigorous. Let's follow them for two months and see what the results are."

He thought to himself that it was not easy to meet a reliable team. If it were not for the relationship between Zhang Yuanshan and Chu He, such a team would not accept him at all.

Hearing the female cultivator's words, Ji An smiled gently and said:

"My talisman-making skills are pretty good. I use all the crystals I earn to buy elixirs to improve my cultivation. I don't deserve the praise from my senior sister for my achievements.

Fellow brothers, wielding swords to slay demons is the true demeanor of cultivators like us."

If there were any other way, who would be willing to fight and kill every day and risk their life to earn crystals!

Chen Moxuan shook his head secretly. When he first entered the sect, he entered the weapon refining hall, but failed to make any progress in three years. With the help of his family's connections, he was able to enter the alchemy hall. After three years of refining pills, he could only make some Huangya Pills and Bigu Pills. When the feeling was not good, he would even suffer losses.

The family's support for him dropped sharply, and he was unwilling to accept it, so he joined the monster hunting team at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Fortunately, he had some talent in fighting, and his life gradually got better.

I have been with more than twenty teammates, how many of them are buried in the wilderness?
There weren't many talisman makers who had experience in fighting magic, but there were some. However, he had never seen a spiritual farmer who had experience in fighting magic.

They are all willing to be spiritual farmers, and what they think about most every day is planting spells.

Are you some idiot who wants to experience killing monsters? Chen Moxuan's voice dropped, and he said with a cold look in his eyes:

"Junior brother, the business of monster hunting is not easy."

There are always unexpected situations during monster hunting, and no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.

As the captain of the team, he is responsible for the safety of the entire team.

This monster hunt is a test. If the opponent cannot meet his requirements, he will not allow the opponent to stay in the team even if it means offending Zhang Yuanshan.

The room fell silent.

"I'm here to earn crystals, not to mess around.

Hunting monsters and collecting herbs, and earning crystals to exchange for foundation-building pills faster, is my goal."

"Exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills? You have great ambition!"

Chen Moxuan smiled faintly, disagreeing in his heart.

Monsters will not stand foolishly in the open air waiting to be surrounded and killed by humans. Sometimes, you will even encounter monsters in the Foundation Establishment stage that have evaded the sect's major repairs and reconnaissance.

“Junior Brother Chu often mentioned to me the dangers of monster hunting.

Junior Brother Ji has been with our team on two missions. If he lacks the talent for fighting, I will send him back to the sect to cultivate talismans."

Zhang Yuanshan said that after several years of sweeping, there was no easy-to-eat meat left near Moya Mountain, and the remaining monsters were not easy to deal with.

He understood Chen Moxuan's concerns very well. If they wanted to achieve good results, the team could not have any shortcomings, and every team member had to play a positive role.

Jiang Qiuyue came out to mediate the atmosphere and said gently:
"Don't just talk, let's drink and eat."

The atmosphere relaxed and the table returned to its previous lively state.

After having enough food and drink, Zhang Yuanshan took a quick look and said:

"My fellow disciples, for the next period of time, I will no longer be taking orders for refining and repairing magical instruments.

I feel that my mana is not far from reaching perfection. My uncle ordered me to put aside all my affairs and go into seclusion to hone my mana and prepare for the foundation-building phase."

Chu He's eyes flashed with envy, and he laughed loudly:

"Next time we meet, you must address me as Uncle Zhang."

Preparing to build the foundation means that the other party has already prepared the foundation-building pill.

There was envy in everyone's eyes, and many people still had a long way to go before they could exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

All sect disciples knew that establishing a foundation was the true path to immortality. Even the most talented cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, if they couldn't establish a foundation, would be no match for an octogenarian cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage in the sect's eyes.

"Then I'll take my good words from you, Junior Brother. When I come out of seclusion, we can have a drink and chat happily."

Zhang Yuanshan stood up and said with a smile:

"I'll be leaving first. I think you all still have something to discuss. So, goodbye, and we'll see you again someday."

"Goodbye, Senior Brother."

Everyone saw Zhang Yuanshan off and returned to the room to sit down again.

"Junior Brother Ji, I have been hunting monsters for many years and have experienced life and death several times. I may have offended you just now, please don't take it to heart."

Chen Moxuan pointed to a scar on his eyebrow and continued:
"This scar was left a year ago. It was the closest I've ever been to death. If I had reacted a little slower, my head would have been pierced through.

The situation is slightly different from when Junior Brother Chu joined the team. If you want to gain something now, you must take greater risks.

Junior Brother Ji, why don't you tell us the truth? How do you estimate your combat power?

Only by understanding the strength of all team members can we make targeted plans.

"I understand what you're thinking, brother. We can't have any burdens in the team.

I have no practical experience, which is what I lack most.

In terms of spells, I mainly practiced Gengjin Finger and Water Curtain, which happened to be one attack and one defense.

As for magical weapons, I have a mid-grade defensive magical weapon and a low-grade offensive magical weapon."

As he spoke, Ji An left his seat and demonstrated his micromanipulation of the Stone Turtle Shield.

Twelve tortoise shells with a yellowish-brown glow flew up and down, dazzling the eyes.

Everyone present was an expert and they all cheered in unison.

What a good sandbag! Chen Moxuan felt relieved and said with a smile:

"Junior brother, you can control the magic weapon as easily as using your own arms. With this ability, our team's strength will be greatly enhanced."

The monster hunting team has a clear division of labor. Some are responsible for provoking the monsters to defend, some are responsible for trapping the enemy, and some are responsible for the main attack. This is the only way to hunt monsters with the greatest efficiency.

Now there is one more person who possesses a mid-grade defensive magic weapon. After some training, he can try to challenge the tough bones that he was afraid to touch before.

"What is your offensive weapon, Junior Brother?"

Ji An put away the stone turtle shield, and a black iron seal one foot square appeared in front of him.

"This magic weapon is quite powerful. If you encounter a large monster, just hit it hard and it will take half of its life."

"This magic weapon is good. From now on, someone will help me share the pressure of attacking."

Chu He smiled and said that he had chosen a hammer-shaped magic weapon, which was used in the team to attack large monsters.

"I've always had a question: why do people prefer magical weapons like knives and swords?"

Ji An was puzzled. To deal with a large monster with tough hide, blunt weapons were of course the first choice. Even if controlling it consumed a lot of mana, one should still have one.

Chen Moxuan coughed and said:

"Many times, our enemies aren't just monsters. Heavy magical weapons aren't very flexible to wield, and we often can't seize the initiative."

"understood."

Ji An took a deep breath. Whether in his past life or this life, he had never experienced bloody killings between people, but he would inevitably have to face it in the future.

"I also have a beast, the Spirit Seeking Rat, which is at the fifth level of Qi Refining."

He caught a golden-brown monster. He didn't have any extra spirit stones to buy a spirit pet bag, so he had to sew a cloth bag to put the mouse in.
