Mortal: I can enter the spirit world at the beginning
Chapter 723 Negotiation
"Is this mission really just to scout the movements of the Wood Spirit Tribe and retrieve the intelligence data we sent undercover agents to the tribe in the early years? It doesn't sound too difficult." The girl Ye Ying smiled, her eyes turned flexibly, and asked in a crisp voice, "Are there no other more complicated requirements or potential dangers? I always feel that things are not that simple."
"It's hard to say. Whether it's difficult or not depends on our luck! If everything goes well, it may be much simpler than other tasks. But if we run into trouble, or even get discovered by the silver-level or above wood spirits in the wood tribe, it's not uncommon for us all to perish. However, this mission is indeed of great importance to our two tribes, and we must take this risk no matter what." The young man with the blood mole, Long Dong, sighed, his expression solemn, and murmured in a low voice, "After all, our understanding of the wood spirit tribe is still very limited, and the variables are really hard to predict."
"If it's so important, why did the higher-ups send us, the God Transformation level ones, here? Wouldn't it be safer to just send a Void Refinement level one?" The white-browed man frowned and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the higher-ups have some special considerations or unspeakable secrets?"
"Hehe! From your question, it seems that Fairy Xiao should be the one in charge of the noble action." The young man surnamed Long did not answer the question directly. Instead, he looked at the young woman in the black dress with a half-smile, "I wonder what Fairy Xiao thinks?"
"I don't have any brilliant ideas! Since Brother Long knows all these things, it seems that the human race should also take you as the leader." The young woman Xiao Hong looked calm, without any surprise on her face, and said slowly, "In this case, I hope Brother Long will bear with us for the next action."
"Yes, I do know a few more things." The blood mole at the corner of Longdong's mouth moved. He was calm and did not deny the matter. There was a hint of pride in his eyes.
When the girl surnamed Ye heard this, she curled her lips in disdain, but then she remembered something and turned to look at Yang Qian.
However, Yang Qian had a blank expression on his face, like a stone, as if he had not heard the conversation between the young man with the blood mole and the young woman at all. This made Ye Ying's pretty face reveal a hint of surprise. She was very curious and frowned slightly.
"This time, we are only sending our Divine Transformation cultivators here because the Black Stone Forest has been covered by Tianmu Mengluo of the Wood Spirit Clan! Once a being above the Divine Transformation level enters there, his tracks will be immediately exposed." Xiao Hong turned to look at the white-browed young man and explained patiently, her expression serious and earnest, her brows tightly furrowed.
"Tian Mu Sen Luo! So that's how it is. This is the Wood Clan's most powerful formation. It is said that this formation is based on countless towering ancient trees and uses the ancient spiritual patterns of the Wood Clan as its veins, weaving into an invisible yet omnipresent detection network! It is extremely sensitive to beings above the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and almost no being outside the Wood Clan can escape its detection! Even a cultivator in the Fusion Stage will be detected by this formation in an instant if he is not careful. It is reasonable for us, the Spiritual Transformation cultivators, to sneak in!"
The white-browed young man first nodded in sudden realization, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his two sharp gazes pierced towards Yang Qian and Ye Ying like swords.
His face was full of doubts, his eyebrows were raised high, the corners of his mouth turned down, and he said with a hint of distrust: "But Fellow Daoist Long, forget it, these two are only in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, their strength is so low, isn't their cultivation a little bit lacking? Can they not hinder us in this dangerous mission? What if..."
"Brother Li, don't worry! Since the elders have sent Fellow Daoist Yang and Miss Ye here together, they are naturally very confident in them and will definitely not let you down. I can guarantee that." Long Dong laughed, with a seemingly relaxed smile on his face, but his eyes were firm, as if he was very clear about the strength and background of Yang Qian and the white-robed girl Ye Ying.
"Since you have promised so, then so be it! But if they really become a burden during the rest of the journey, don't blame me for not saving them." The white-browed young man said with a gloomy face and a cold tone.
“Hmph! You are only one realm higher than me, yet you talk as if you are a Void Refining cultivator.” The white-browed young man's repeated contemptuous look finally made the white-robed girl Ye Ying's face sank. A trace of anger flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said coquettishly.
“When it comes to our level of cultivation, even if our realm differs by one level, the difference in our magical powers is huge.” The white-browed young man sneered and replied proudly.
The girl in white robe felt a little angry when she heard this. When she wanted to say something else, Yang Qian interrupted her.
"Since Fellow Daoist Long and Fairy Xiao know more about the mission than the rest of us, please introduce the details to us first. When I accepted the mission, I only knew the general idea and did not expect that it would require the cooperation of multiple people. If I had known this, I would probably not have accepted this mission. As for what the magical powers are, I cannot explain it clearly." Yang Qian said coldly with a blank expression. There was a hint of displeasure under his calm face. He gradually felt unhappy about the provocation of the white-browed young man.
Although Yang Qian had anticipated that things would not be as simple as Zhao Wugui and others said, there would definitely be local cultivators and people from the demon clan involved.
But when he arrived at the meeting place and found that it was Ye Ying and Long Dong and others, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"That's just what I want! Originally I had to think of some ways to sneak into the team, but now I have saved a lot of effort. I can get the blood of the Phoenix this time." Yang Qian thought to himself. Naturally, he was very satisfied with this. He glanced at the beautiful face of the girl Ye Ying without leaving a trace, and a barely perceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.
"I will tell Brother Yang and Fairy Ye about the details of the mission on the way. The time for this mission is not too ample, so let's get on the road first." Long Dong smiled slightly, glanced at everyone, and spoke in an orderly manner.
"Brother Long is right. We are indeed a little pressed for time. It is better for us to leave first. I can also publish some relevant information on the way." Xiaohong also nodded and agreed.
The white-browed young man frowned, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's set off quickly and don't delay any longer."
Ye Ying blinked her eyes and said crisply, "I have no objection. Go early and come back early."
Yang Qian pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said casually: "Okay, I will have time to ask slowly on the way."
"In that case, for the sake of caution, you should all take my Lingyun Boat! Firstly, you don't have to spend any magic power, just some spirit stones. Secondly, this boat is good at changing and hiding, so I can save myself a lot of trouble on the road." The young man with the blood mole, Longdong, suggested again with a pleasant expression, seeming unusually enthusiastic.
Naturally, the others had no objection when they heard this.
A moment later, a ball of faint white light rose into the sky from the woods, and inside it was vaguely visible a twenty-foot-long boat.
This boat is divided into two floors, and its entire body is as white as jade, as if it was carefully refined from beautiful jade.
The surface of the boat was engraved with strange cloud-like patterns and rippling gold and silver runes, giving it an extraordinary aura.
The jade boat trembled slightly, and suddenly the golden and silver runes exploded with a bang, turning into white clouds that wrapped around the boat, turning into a seemingly ordinary giant cloud.
Then the giant cloud circled and went away silently in a certain direction.
A strange scene appeared! The cloud looked light and seemed to be flying very slowly, but in the blink of an eye it was more than a hundred feet away, and it seemed that its speed was no slower than that of an ordinary Divine Transformation cultivator.
"That's right! As expected of the Long family that controls the auction house for the human race, they even have a spiritual boat that's suitable for long-distance travel. Although the Lingyun Boat is not very rare, it has such a fast escape speed. It's probably the best of its kind." Xiao Hong stood on the bow, looking around at everything on the boat, with a hint of satisfaction on her face, and praised sincerely.
Flying magic weapons are rare, and this kind of double-layered high-level boat-like magic weapon is even harder to find.
"Hehe! Fairy Xiao, you are too kind! As one of the seven great demon tribes, what kind of treasures have you not seen? The only thing about my Lingyun Boat is its speed of escape. However, the space on this boat is quite spacious, with more than ten quiet rooms. Except for one person who needs to keep an eye on the surroundings outside every day, the rest of the people can rest in peace in the quiet rooms. If all goes well, half a year is not too long for us. Maybe it will be over after a meditation session." Long Dong said politely with a warm smile on his face, looking very polite.
"That's good. Each of us will take turns on duty for ten days, and the rest of you can move freely on the boat. Let each of you choose a quiet room for yourself first." The young woman Xiaohong nodded.
After hearing what the two said, Yang Qian and others naturally had no objection, and everyone immediately chose a satisfactory room on the boat.
Of course, since it is a place for rest and meditation, one would naturally set up some restrictions in the house to prevent others from eavesdropping.
After a brief discussion, the five of them arranged the rotation order.
Coincidentally, Yang Qian was arranged to be the last one, which means that it would be forty days later when it came to him.
After everything was arranged, Yang Qian didn't say a word to anyone else. He walked into his own quiet room and quickly opened the ban.
The performances of Xiaohong, the young woman in black dress, and others were almost the same. They all hurried into their respective quiet rooms and opened the restrictions.
What was surprising was that this time, the young man with a blood mole, Longdong, came to Yang Qian's meditation room for unknown reasons.
On the surface, he had a big smile on his face and seemed extremely polite, claiming that he wanted to get closer to them, but in fact he was trying to test Yang Qian.
With Yang Qian's deep scheming, he was naturally able to handle the situation with ease, and his answer was flawless and leak-proof.
However, after about half an hour, Long Dong realized that he could not find any useful information no matter what, so he just got up and left.
His face looked a little gloomy, and he secretly muttered to himself about Yang Qian's caution, and then prepared to go outside the spirit boat to take his turn on duty.
Except for Long Dong who was on duty, everyone else went into their rooms without hesitation, as if they were eager to take time to rest or practice during this long journey.
Seeing this, Long Dong stopped moving. After moving the corner of his mouth slightly, he came to the head of the spirit boat again. He flipped his hand, and suddenly a emerald green cushion appeared.
After putting it on the ground, he sat cross-legged on it.
"Hmph! Half a year... I've been looking forward to this day." The young man with the blood mole, Longdong, moved his lips slightly, muttered a few words in an inaudible voice, and then slowly closed his eyes, but a strange smile lingered on his face for a long time.
In a quiet room several meters in size in Yuzhou, Xiaohong and the white-browed young man sat face to face on a wooden chair each.
"What? You said that the little girl named Ye Ying has the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix and is also a descendant of the True Spirit family." The white-browed young man seemed to have heard something shocking from the young woman and looked horrified.
"Why are you so surprised, Fellow Daoist Li? Your Black Eagle clan is considered a rare race of celestial birds. I don't believe that you have no sense of the Heavenly Phoenix blood in this girl. As for our Black Phoenix clan, although it is a branch of the Phoenix clan, but in terms of the purity of the Heavenly Phoenix blood, it cannot be compared with this little girl. But there is no problem in sensing the Heavenly Phoenix blood in this girl, and there will be no mistake." Xiao Hong said solemnly.
"So that's how it is! I was wondering why I felt so uneasy and a little wary the moment I saw this girl. That's why I behaved a little awkwardly in the woods. But Fairy Xiao and Mr. Li talked about these things, do you have any thoughts about them?" The white-browed young man let out a breath, but a strange expression appeared on his face.
"It's nothing! It would be fine if this girl had the blood of other true spirits, but it has to be the blood of the Phoenix, which is known as the king of all birds. What does this mean? Brother Li, you can't really not understand." The young woman Xiaohong smiled brightly, but her eyes turned cold.
“Humph, of course I understand what you mean! But don’t forget the instructions given by the clan elders before you set out and the importance of this mission to our demon clan. If you delay the clan’s major events because of personal matters, even if you and I get the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix, we won’t be able to enjoy it.” The white-browed young man was silent for a while before he sneered.
These two people actually planned to get the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix.
"Hehe! When did my little sister say that she would take action before reaching the destination? Naturally, we must first ensure that the mission of this trip is completed. But it won't be too late for us to take action after it is completed." Xiao Hong said with a chuckle.
“Take action after the mission is accomplished? Well, it’s not impossible as long as it doesn’t affect the mission. But will the other two help him? Even if we really get the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix, how are you and I going to divide it? This blood cannot be divided in two.” The white-browed young man’s eyes flashed, and after a slight hesitation, he shook his head.
"Although the blood of the Heavenly Phoenix is also useful to you, its effectiveness is more important to us, the Black Phoenix Clan. Let's put it this way, as long as Brother Li helps me get the spiritual blood, I am willing to use three Black Flame Pills as a reward. As for the other two, I will naturally try to transfer them away first. Besides, the Black Stone Forest is such a dangerous place, it is still unclear whether they can retreat safely." The young woman Xiaohong gritted her teeth and offered an astonishing condition.
"Three Black Flame Pills! Are you serious?" When the white-browed young man heard this, his face was full of surprise, his eyes widened, and then he was overjoyed, and his excitement was beyond words.
"I am a person of some status in the Black Phoenix Clan. Even though the three Black Flame Pills are worth a fortune in the outside world, I have accumulated so much over the years and have been able to refine three of them. I originally planned to use them to impact the Void Refining Realm." Xiao Hong secretly disdained in her heart. The white-browed young man in front of her was too greedy and short-sighted, but she deliberately showed a bitter smile on the surface, and her expression seemed quite helpless. (End of this chapter)
