"Haha, fellow Taoists, please don't misunderstand. What Elder Lei Luo meant was that the responsibility to fight the enemy cannot be shirked. But he also doesn't want all of us cultivators to be completely lost in this disaster. So after discussing with us, he finally came up with a way to preserve all our vitality. But this method is still extremely dangerous, so he sent us here to tell you fellow Taoists one or two. Let you freely choose whether to participate in this plan." The cultivator named Wen smiled slightly and said in a calm tone.

There was a soothing touch in his gentle smile, and his eyes swept over everyone softly, as if trying to ease everyone's tension.

"This..." Someone couldn't help but hesitate, with confusion and bewilderment in his voice. "Of course we believe in Elder Lei Luo!" A burly monk said loudly, his expression firm, obviously trusting Elder Lei Luo very much.

"Yes, yes! How can we not believe in Elder Lei Luo's reputation?" The others also hurriedly responded, nodding their heads with respectful looks on their faces.

Naturally, there was another slight commotion among the crowd, and everyone echoed the voices, one after another.

But there were still many people looking at each other with doubt in their eyes.

Some people even lowered their voices and talked privately, looking nervous and anxious.

"What should I do? How should I choose?"

“The risk is so great, do you really want to participate?”

Although their voices are low, one can still feel their inner struggles.

Others looked troubled, with furrowed brows and tightly pursed lips, as if they were thinking hard about something.

The entire hall was filled with an uneasy atmosphere, and the heavy mood was like a dark cloud pressing on everyone's hearts.

Han Li frowned and couldn't help wondering, "What on earth is going on? It sounds like the situation is quite complicated and tricky."

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. After looking at Yang Qian who was unmoved, he understood in his heart: "Senior Brother Yang is so calm, he must have made up his mind." Then, he regained his composure again.

Han Li thought to himself: "This mission seems to be an opportunity, but the risk is so great that I must make a careful decision. If I act rashly, I will probably fall into an irretrievable situation. But if I miss it, how can I protect myself when a war really comes?" As he thought about it, Han Li's expression became serious, and his heart was extremely conflicted.

"What exactly do we need to choose? Please tell us directly, two seniors." One of them asked slowly. There was a hint of urgency in his voice, and it was obvious that he couldn't wait to know the details.

"It's very simple! In the recent period, Elder Lei Luo will issue some time-consuming and meritorious tasks. These tasks are extremely dangerous, and most of the local cultivators in Tianyuan City will not accept them. However, after you accept and complete the tasks, you will have made great contributions and can retire with a clear conscience. If the war does not break out, you can return to Tianyuan City. If a war really breaks out, and your cultivation is not enough, you can retire and stay away from the war, which can also preserve the vitality of cultivators like us." Zhao Wugui said lightly.

After these words were spoken, some of the people below could not help but whisper again.

"Hehe, let me be frank! According to our estimates, there is almost a 50% chance that people who carry out these tasks will perish. Whether you choose to accept it depends entirely on your own plans. After all, whether an alien attack on the city will really break out is still a matter of time, but there is a great possibility of dying while carrying out this mission. Those who want to leave Tianyuan City without taking any risks are daydreaming." Zhao Wugui sneered when he saw this scene, his face full of indifference and a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

After listening to what Zhao Wugui and the other man said one after another, most of the monks in the hall couldn't help but gasp.

Immediately, everyone's expressions became different, like the ever-changing wind and clouds.

"A task that takes a long time." Someone whispered softly, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

"Leave Tianyuan City!" Many people were immediately excited when they heard this.

"With a 50% chance of dying, this mission is too dangerous." Someone frowned.

"For a mission like this, it's better to stay in Tianyuan City where it's safer!" Many people hold such thoughts.

There is only a 60% chance that those who stay in Tianyuan City will face an alien invasion. If it is just a single alien attacking the city, many people still have confidence and feel that they can survive this disaster.

With this in mind, taking on this task seems to be more risky.

Of course, matters like these that concern one's own life cannot be calculated and measured so easily and simply.

Everyone's heart is like surging waves, and each has different plans and things to consider.

For a moment, the hall fell into silence, so quiet that one could hear the sound of a pin drop.

It seemed that everyone was waiting for others to speak first, and no one was willing to be the first to break the oppressive silence.

"You don't have to make a decision right away, fellow Taoists. These tasks will be released one after another within a year or so. And they will be specially marked. Once you accept the task, those who have positions can give up their original positions and hand them over. So even if you have fixed positions, you don't have to worry." The cultivator named Wen glanced at everyone in the hall and added a few more words.

"Senior Wen, even if we can complete the mission, how do we solve the problem of the Dust-Destroying Pill? Without the Dust-Destroying Pill, even if we complete the mission, we will still perish under the two-colored heavenly tribulation that follows." Han Li took a deep breath and spoke for the first time.

"So it's nephew Han from the newly promoted Qingming Guard! You don't have to worry about that. Asking you to carry out such a dangerous mission is originally a desperate move, so the Dust-Destroying Pills you need will naturally be prepared before departure. But on the other hand, these elixirs will also be subject to restrictions. Unless you can really complete the mission, these Dust-Destroying Pills will destroy themselves. You'd better not even think about abandoning the mission and running away alone, otherwise you all know what the consequences will be." Zhao Wugui said lightly.

"So that's how it is. Thank you for clearing up my doubts!" ​​Han Li bowed respectfully and sat down again without saying a word, but he still sighed in his heart.

When several people in the hall heard what Zhao Wugui said, there was no change in their expressions, but they all smiled bitterly in their hearts.

What little hope these people still had in their hearts was naturally completely shattered.

"We have both told you everything that needs to be said. The first wave of missions will be issued and will begin in half a month. If you really want to take on these missions, you'd better prepare early. Although the missions are specially assigned to you by Elder Lei Luo, if other cultivators really take them up, there is naturally nothing we can do about it. Well, the party is over, and everyone go back and think carefully about the pros and cons." The cultivator surnamed Wen smiled and gave a final reminder. There was something meaningful in that smile, and then he announced the end of the party.

Then he and Zhao Wugui stood up first, with upright postures and calm steps, and walked out of the hall first.

After a while of silence, people in the hall walked out one after another.

Most people had frowned, looked thoughtful, and walked with heavy steps.

Yang Qian did not rush out, but sat quietly in his seat, his eyes calm with a hint of hesitation, as if thinking about something alone.

As a result, after a while, there were only a few people left in the hall.

"Why, Brother Yang, are you a little tempted by these missions?" Suddenly, a man came over and said to Yang Qian with a smile, his voice clear and pleasant. Yang Qian's expression moved, and after seeing who it was, he smiled and replied, "It turned out to be Fairy Xuan. I am indeed a little tempted. The selection strategy arranged by the seniors is indeed a good way to protect yourself, but it is a little too dangerous."

This person turned out to be the female cultivator in green palace dress. She had a graceful figure and fluttering skirt, and her cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Yang Qian had met this woman at several gatherings before and had talked to her a few times, so he could be considered an acquaintance.

This woman named Xuan has strong cultivation base. She practices a magical power called "Three Thousand Greens", which is said to be extremely powerful.

"I heard that in a patrol mission not long ago, Brother Yang captured a green shadow alone. It seems that Brother Yang's magical powers are probably not above those of ordinary late-stage Jinhua cultivators. If you are willing to take on these tasks, I believe your chances of completing them will be much greater than that of ordinary fellows. How about you and I join forces to take on one of them?" The woman surnamed Xuan smiled brightly, as brilliantly as a blooming spring flower.

The woman's voice was soft and melodious, like the singing of a nightingale, which made people feel happy.

Although the woman surnamed Xuan was wearing a green veil on her face, judging from her exposed skin and exposed beautiful eyes, she was naturally an extremely beautiful lady.

Her skin is as white as jade, her eyes are as bright as autumn water, and her looks are full of charm that makes people fall in love with her.

When Yang Qian heard this, he was a little surprised at first. His eyes widened slightly and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. But after staring at the woman's face for a while, he slowly shook his head.

"You are too kind, fellow Daoist! I have only just advanced to the middle stage not long ago, how can I compare with the fairy and others? As for whether I will accept this task, I have not really considered it yet, and it is a little too early to make a decision now." Yang Qianping's words were unusually polite, his tone was calm and humble, but his refusal was faintly revealed.

When the woman surnamed Xuan heard Yang Qian's answer, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she did not continue to pester him. After chatting for a few more words, she said goodbye and left.

After seeing the woman's back disappear at the door of the hall, Yang Qian retracted his gaze and pondered inwardly.

Now is not the day to leave immediately. The tens of thousands of gold-eating bugs that he had been feeding with the colorful grass finally met all the conditions for transformation into mature forms not long ago. He had used the secret ripening technique to ripen them.

"Gold Devouring Immortal! One step closer!" Thinking of this, Yang Qian felt a little more excited.

It seemed that these spiritual insects would complete their transformation and become mature in a few months or even a year. How could he bear to interrupt their evolution during this period and leave easily, causing these spiritual insects to fail in their advancement?

At the same time, in the corner of the hall, Han Li stood up slowly with a calm expression, and walked towards the door at an unhurried pace.

However, when passing by Yang Qian, his eyes slightly lowered, and a deep meaning flashed in his gaze.

Seeing this, Yang Qian raised his eyebrows, which were like a flying sword, revealing a sharpness. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he stood up and left.

A purple rainbow rose from the valley, dazzling and bright, and went towards the direction of the spiritual land.

A purple rainbow streaked across the sky, leaving a long trail.

About half a day later, a green rainbow appeared in Yang Qian's spiritual land.

Inside the cave.

Yang Qian and Han Li sat opposite each other, with a set of exquisite wine utensils placed in front of them. The wine pot was exquisitely carved and the wine glass was as smooth as jade.

The two were drinking and chatting comfortably, with hearty laughter coming from time to time.

The cave was filled with a faint aroma of wine, which was like a wisp of silk, lingering in every corner.

Soft light emanates from the pearls on the stone wall, making the entire cave warm and harmonious.

"Junior Brother Han, do you mean, you want the follow-up exercises of the Tuotian Magic Art?" Yang Qian picked up the wine glass lightly, drank a glass of fine wine elegantly, and said with a smile, "This is the 'Qian Zi Bi Luo Wine' specially brewed for me. It has the effect of improving magical powers. At your initial stage, you can drink five cups. Any more will have no effect." His eyes were filled with concern and reminder, and he looked at Han Li gently.

"Great wine!" Han Li raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He felt a mellow and warm current spreading through his body instantly. He couldn't help but praise it endlessly, "Senior Brother Yang, this wine is really wonderful!"

"Brother Yang, I don't know why, but I feel that this Tuotian Demon Art is not a complete body-building technique. The Ming Wang Jue that I practiced in the human world can actually enhance the Tuotian Demon Art, but I always feel that there is a technique missing. Brother, you have been practicing for so many years, so you must have a way, right?" Han Li put down his wine glass, turned his eyes, and looked at Yang Qian expectantly.

Yang Qian was stunned when he heard this, his thoughts churning in his mind, and then he sighed in his heart. As expected, Han Li could not escape the destined Brahma True Demonic Art. He just didn't expect that he would be the one to complete the task of integrating this magic art.

Thinking of this, Yang Qian burst into laughter, and his laughter echoed in the cave. He filled the glass with spirit wine again and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother Yang?" Han Li was confused, but he still toasted.

"Good! Good! Junior Brother Han, you are really talented! That's right, the Ming Wang Jue and the Vajra Jue of the spiritual world can be said to have the same origin. The Tuotian Demon Art is the second part. As for the third part, it is also in my hands. Moreover, I have indeed created an earth-shaking secret technique of dual cultivation of law and body based on the fusion of the three techniques! You gave me all the treasures of Xuantian, and I am not a stingy person. This technique can be regarded as a return gift." Yang Qian explained leisurely. His tone was calm, and his eyes revealed his admiration for Han Li.

Han Li was overjoyed when he heard this, his excitement was beyond words, and he quickly asked, "Senior Brother Yang, what is the technique you are talking about?" His eyes were fixed on Yang Qian.

"Brahma Saint's true magic power!"

Yang Qian spoke in a loud voice that echoed in the cave. He flicked his fingers and a green jade slip flew out from the storage magic ring, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Han Li was extremely excited. He held the green jade slip with trembling hands, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, with his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

"Just take a look, I will explain it to you later." Yang Qian smiled and said casually, his smile was full of confidence and composure.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Han Li couldn't bear it any longer. As soon as he finished speaking, he directly probed his spiritual sense in.

After seeing the secret technique of Brahma True Demon Art, he immediately gasped, a look of shock appeared on his face, followed by great joy, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.
