Immortals Step into Heaven

He looked at Xu Wen with an embarrassed look and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I have accepted a mission from the sect to come to the Monster Mountain Range to hunt monsters."

I was passing by this place while searching for monsters and heard the roars of beasts. I was curious and came here to check. I didn't expect that my brothers and others were hunting the black-scaled python monster here.

The junior brother wanted to go forward to help, but he didn't expect that in just a moment, the black-scaled python was killed by his senior brother and others.

The junior fellow was too embarrassed to go forward and prepared to leave. Zheng Yuan said with a look of fear, "I didn't expect that the flying sword just now almost killed my junior fellow."

After hearing what Zheng Yuan said, Xu Wen chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, there is no need to blame yourself. We were lucky to have so many people that we were able to kill the black-scaled python so quickly."

As for the flying sword, it was actually launched because I discovered someone was peeping nearby. It almost hurt my junior brother. I’m really sorry!

Zheng Yuan waved his hands quickly and said, "It's okay! It's okay! As long as Senior Brother Xu doesn't blame me for peeping, I will be grateful."

A trace of uneasiness appeared on Zheng Yuan's face, and his eyes were fixed on Xu Wen, waiting for his response.

Xu Wen chuckled and said, you and I are brothers from the same sect, how could I blame you for such a small matter!

Zheng Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, Senior Brother Xu is indeed generous, and his respect for him is well worth it.

Zheng Yuan also guessed that Senior Brother Xu had some secrets, but as long as it didn't have much to do with him, Zheng Yuan didn't want to explore it to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But Zheng Yuan would not tell the truth about his real purpose for coming here. After all, he had come here to pick the Blood Spirit Flower and then to fight the Black Scaled Python. If Senior Brother Xu and the others knew about it, there was no guarantee that there would not be other accidents.

Zheng Yuan quickly bowed and said respectfully, "Thank you, Senior Brother Xu, for your magnanimity! I was also reckless today and shouldn't have been here. I almost caused trouble for you. I will definitely be more cautious in the future." Zheng Yuan's face was filled with gratitude!

Junior Brother Zheng and the others are also disciples of Danqing Valley. Xu Wen slightly turned sideways and pointed at the four people beside him and introduced them one by one, Junior Brother Zheng, this is Junior Brother Lin Guorui.

The first is Junior Brother Zhang Jiwei, whose swordsmanship is extremely powerful. The second is Junior Brother Lin Poshu, who has a strong body and has practiced physical exercises. Finally, Junior Brother Jiang Yiyun is also a master swordsman.

Zheng Yuan chuckled at the four senior brothers who had reached the great perfection of Qi training and said, "Zheng Yuan greets all of you senior brothers."

After Zheng Yuan finished speaking, the disciples of Danqing Valley who were introduced also responded.

Lin Guorui clasped his fists slightly and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, you're too polite." Zhang Jiwei smiled faintly and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, I've often heard Senior Brother Xu talk about you. Seeing you today, you're truly extraordinary." Lin Poshu laughed heartily and said, "Junior Brother Zheng, we can spar with each other sometime in the future." Jiang Yiyun's expression remained calm, and he simply nodded slightly as a greeting.

Junior Brother Zheng, I and the other junior brothers came here this time just for that centuries-old elixir. I wonder if Master Zheng is interested? Xu Wen chuckled.

Zheng Yuan was shocked when he heard what Xu Wen said. He had just praised Master Xu for being magnanimous, but why was he dragging him to find the elixir the next moment?

Although Zheng Yuan was interested in the elixir, it was a second-level demon beast! Just like a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, Zheng Yuan didn't want to provoke it!

Zheng Yuan knew that he was no match for the second-level monster and that his life would be in danger if he fought with it. Now that Senior Brother Xu said it in front of everyone, Zheng Yuan couldn't refuse directly.

Zheng Yuan smiled and asked tentatively, "Senior Brother Xu, my cultivation level is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, which is low. Will I be a burden to you, my senior brothers?"

No, Junior Brother Zheng, you don't need to get close to the second-level lion scorpion beast. You can use the earth prison technique to restrain it. Isn't that what Junior Brother is unwilling to do? Xu Wen said with a hint of threat.

Zheng Yuan sneered in his heart, what do you mean by restraint? Maybe he just wants me to be the cannon fodder!

Zheng Yuan said calmly, since the senior brother does not despise the junior brother’s weak strength.

Zheng Yuan is willing to lend a helping hand to his senior brother.

After Zheng Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Xu Wen calmly. He knew clearly that his situation was not safe. If he disagreed, it might cause them to attack him. This was not a sect.

He couldn't show any sign of retreat at this moment, otherwise it would likely arouse the suspicion of Xu Wen and others. So, he decided to stabilize the situation first and then look for a suitable opportunity to escape.

In Xu Wen's heart, Zheng Yuan's existence is only to achieve his own goals.

If there is danger, he will push Zheng Yuan out as cannon fodder. If Zheng Yuan manages to escape, he will never let him go and will do everything he can to get rid of him.

If I had obtained a centuries-old elixir, how could this news be spread?

Xu Wen smiled, feeling pleased that Junior Brother Zheng thought so. With Junior Brother Zheng's help, he was sure to find the elixir this time.

Since Junior Brother has agreed, let’s set out quickly to find the elixir!

After saying that, Xu Wen led everyone towards the depths of the Monster Mountain Range and asked Zheng Yuan to follow in the middle of the team.

Xu Wen seemed to be afraid that he would run away, so he placed him in the middle. He also said that since his junior brother's cultivation level was lower, it would be safer to be in the middle with the protection of others, but he didn't believe it at all.

Zheng Yuan appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was secretly grinning. He knew this trip might not be as simple as Xu Wen had claimed. He might actually be used as cannon fodder, as he feared. But for now, Zheng Yuan could only take things one step at a time.

Zheng Yuan cursed in his heart, knowing that Xu Wen had no good intentions. Now that he had reached perfection in the third level of the Beast Blood Body Tempering Technique and the Thirteen North Sea Stick Technique, his strength might not be much worse than Xu Wen. Zheng Yuan was also very tempted by the spiritual medicine and was thinking about whether he could take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits. He had some confidence in escaping with his Earth Escape Technique.

Xu Wen and the others entered a valley. Xu Wen walked in front, leading everyone into the valley. A thin layer of mist filled the valley, and everyone walked in the silent valley.

Zheng Yuan kept a constant eye on his surroundings, alert for any signs of danger. Lin Guorui placed his hand on his storage bag, ready to respond to any emergency.

Zhang Jiwei's sword was already unsheathed. Lin Poshu tensed his body, displaying immense physical strength.

Jiang Yiyun still looked calm, but there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Zheng Yuan and others came into the valley and saw a huge stone cave in the distance.

Xu Wen pointed to the stone cave and said, the elixir is inside the cave. According to the information I received, there is a second-level monster inside.

Xu Wen took out a six-star formation from his storage bag and explained to everyone that the second-stage early stage lion scorpion beast in this valley was very powerful and difficult to confront head-on.

This six-star formation is a second-grade, low-grade formation I bought from the market. It is a good trapping formation. We will try to lure the monster here and trap it later.
