How did a bastard like him become an immortal?

Li Muyun followed the crowd to the busiest street, where many demon-hunting groups gathered, loudly recruiting individual martial artists; there were also a few martial artists who wanted to form small teams and were looking for companions.

However, in this chaotic place, most people wanting to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains choose to temporarily join reputable demon-hunting groups because they are relatively trustworthy and unlikely to betray or rob others. Those who team up alone are different; their backgrounds are unknown, and if betrayed in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, they face certain death.

Li Muyun looked around at the demon-hunting groups. Since they were going to form teams to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, they had to choose their teammates carefully, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died.

Just then, Li Xianjiu's lazy voice rang out from not far away: "The Three Treasures Medicine Pavilion is going into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains to collect herbs and rescue that trapped array master. I, Li Xianjiu, will personally lead the team. We need twenty martial artists at or above the fourth level of the Earth Profound Realm. The reward is ten Rejuvenating Herbs. Anyone who wants to sign up, hurry up!"

Li Xianjiu's voice wasn't loud, but everyone became eager upon hearing it and rushed over, wanting to participate in the mission.

Entering the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range is fraught with danger. It would obviously be much safer to go in with a Golden Core Realm immortal like Li Xianjiu. Moreover, the reward of ten Spring Returning Grasses is more than that of a regular mission. Besides, being able to travel with the Drunken Sword Immortal, even if you only get to feast your eyes on him along the way, is a bonus.

Li Muyun also learned from the crowd that the Three Treasures Medicine Pavilion was a branch of the Xuantian Treasure Pavilion stationed in Wuming Town, and was responsible for obtaining spiritual herbs and immortal plants for the Xuantian Treasure Pavilion in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains.

Just as everyone was scrambling for a spot, a burly middle-aged man carrying a giant axe approached Li Xianjiu with about ten people. This man was Yuwen Zhan, the third leader of the Wilderness Demon Hunting Group. He cupped his hands and said, "Sword Immortal, our Wilderness Demon Hunting Group would like to cooperate with your Three Treasures Medicine Pavilion on this mission. After all, the jungle wolf pack is not easy to deal with. Even if you are an immortal, you are not entirely confident, are you?"

Li Xianjiu snorted, casually grabbed a chair, plopped down, and stretched out her long, gleaming legs. "If the wolf pack wasn't so troublesome, I would have gone in by myself. That array master offered a spirit-level array. How are we going to split it?"

Yuwen Zhan grinned, "The formation is good, but it's not very useful to us. All we need is a spirit fruit tree, hehe."

Frowning her beautiful brows, Li Xianjiu hesitated. The spirit fruit tree was very valuable, producing more than a dozen spirit fruits every year. These spirit fruits contained a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and each fruit could even fetch a high price of tens of thousands of gold.

Seeing Li Xianjiu hesitate, Yuwen Zhan continued, "I brought ten brothers with me, each of them a master of the fourth level of the Earth Profound Realm or above. We don't need you to take care of ordinary demonic beasts; we'll handle them for you. But if we can save that formation master, that's a Spirit-level formation!"

"What if we fail to find that formation master?" Li Xianjiu asked.

"Hehe!" Yuwen Zhan chuckled dryly, "We're participating in your mission, Sword Immortal, so you'll naturally bear the risks. Whether the mission is completed or not, all we want is the Spirit Fruit Tree."

Li Xianjiu snorted coldly, a sharp glint flashing in her lazy eyes. "Fine! As long as you do your best, regardless of whether the mission succeeds or fails, the Three Treasures Medicine Pavilion will grant you a spirit fruit tree. However, if I find out that you are not putting in any effort, hmph, then you can forget about everything."

"Alright, then these eleven spots will be taken by our Wilderness Demon Hunting Group. Sword Immortal, once you've finished recruiting your troops, let's set off together first thing tomorrow morning."

The two sides quickly reached an agreement, and Yuwen Zhan led the Savage Demon Hunting Team away. The martial artists on the street eagerly signed up, not wanting to miss this opportunity.

"I want to sign up!"

Li Muyun, dressed in white, walked into the crowd, drawing sidelong glances and disdainful looks from many. What was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child doing here? Moreover, these seasoned veterans could easily tell that Li Muyun was still immature and had never participated in the bloody battlefields of life and death.

"Hahaha! Did I hear that right? You want to sign up?"

"This little brat hasn't even grown all his hair yet and he wants to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains? He should go home and drink his milk!"

"Hahaha! If you're scared to death and cry, no one will help you!"

A skinny, burly man burst into laughter, and everyone else joined in.

"Buzz!"

Li Muyun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the long sword on his back was drawn with a whoosh, turning into a streak of light and shooting out!

"puff!"

The flying sword struck the stone slab in front of the gaunt man, embedding itself halfway in, and its sharp edge severed a lock of his hair.

In an instant, the previously noisy martial artists fell silent, staring wide-eyed at the sixteen-year-old boy.

He's actually... an immortal!?

Li Muyun walked towards Li Xianjiu, and the surrounding martial artists subconsciously made way for him. He cupped his hands and smiled, "Fairy Li, we meet again."

Li Xianjiu looked at Li Muyun with some surprise, her eyes wide as she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to cultivate in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. After all, three years from now, I'll be challenging that big shot," Li Muyun said with a smile.

"Young Master Yun is quite the hero. I wonder how much you can drink?"

Li Xianjiu took out her wine gourd, took a big gulp, and then tossed it to Li Muyun, looking at him with a smile. She particularly admired this little brother of hers; at such a young age, he had already reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, faced power without fear of death, and possessed a steadfast Dao heart; he was destined for extraordinary achievements in the future.

Taking the gourd of wine, Li Muyun, though he had never drunk wine before, still imitated Li Xianjiu and took a big gulp. The spicy and burning sensation made his whole body feel hot. "Good wine! But I'm not some young master anymore, just call me Muyun."

A blush appeared on Li Xianjiu's pretty face, and her eyes were filled with a hazy intoxication. She pulled Li Muyun into her arms and said, "Okay, little Yunyun, come with me tomorrow. I'll protect you."

Li Muyun's heart trembled as he was struck by the massive peaks. He could almost smell the fragrant scent emanating from that beautiful, slightly flushed face. The young man's face instantly turned red with embarrassment. He awkwardly pulled away from Li Xianjiu's arm and quickly said, "Okay, I'll come find you tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he left as if fleeing.

Li Xianjiu took another swig of wine, rolled her eyes, and said, "Others would love to get this kind of advantage from me, do you think I'm going to eat you up, you brat?"

After saying that, she stood up and kicked over the stool, revealing her long, straight, white legs. She said boldly, "There are still eight spots left. Anyone who wants to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains with me, come and sign up here!"
