Chapter 55 Temporary Team
Early the next morning, Yun Xi and Zong Hao went to the entrance of the mission hall together, wanting to learn about the mission that Senior Sister Hua mentioned.

Hua Xuanzi waved his hand when he saw the two of them.

"Junior Sister Yunxi, this way."

The two of them took two quick steps forward, bowed, greeted each other, and then got down to business.

"Senior Sister Hua, what is the mission you mentioned to go to the back mountain? Would it be convenient for my brother to come along? He is now at the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Hua Xuanzi had long noticed Zong Hao's cultivation and said with a smile:

"Of course, welcome, Junior Brother Wei. I invited you to participate in this mission mainly to pick golden sand grass."

After hearing this, Wei Yunxi immediately nodded to show that she understood. This kind of golden sand grass is rather delicate and can only be picked by girls under the age of twenty to maintain its medicinal properties. Otherwise, it will turn into a handful of golden sand, hence the name.

Seeing Yun Xi's understanding, Hua Xuanzi knew that she was familiar with the habits of the golden sand grass, so he continued:

"Our teammate, Junior Sister Zhang, has been in seclusion lately, so we're one person short. The captain was worried I wouldn't be able to complete the task of picking the golden sand grass alone, so he asked me to find a fellow disciple to help. That's why I thought of you!"

Yun Xi and Zong Hao looked at each other, and they both understood what was in each other's eyes. She nodded and said:
"Sister Hua, thank you for your care. We have accepted this mission. When will we set off?"

"Junior Sister Yun Xi is really straightforward. If you two are okay with this, we'll set off in half an hour. I'll add you and Junior Brother Wei to our temporary team. After you register and take on this mission, you still have time to prepare."

The two of them didn't act pretentiously and nodded in agreement, then entered the mission hall with Hua Xuanzi.

Hua Xuanzi found a senior brother he was familiar with, cut in line and added their names to the temporary team. After receiving the team's tasks, he returned the identity jade cards to the two.

"You guys go get ready first. I'll tell the other teammates and we'll meet at the back mountain entrance later."

"it is good."

Seeing that the matter had been finalized, Hua Xuanzi went to inform the remaining teammates.

Yun Xi and Zong Hao went back to the Disciple Academy, left a message for Yun Ying and Zong Yu, informing them of their whereabouts, then sorted out their storage bags to make sure nothing was left out before setting off for the back mountain.

On the way, Zong Hao asked worriedly:

"Yun Xi, you're familiar with Senior Sister Hua, but not with her teammates. We should be careful when we're on a mission, so we don't end up being used as cannon fodder."

"Well, I understand. However, opportunities are rare, and we can't always practice. We also need to improve our combat capabilities and learn how to deal with emergencies. This time, we can just treat it as a practice session.

Brother Zong Hao, have you read the mission content?"

"I see, in addition to the task of picking golden sand grass, their team also accepted the task of catching sand rats. Sand rats are the companion animals of golden sand grass, and their skin and teeth are both materials for refining weapons.

Furthermore, this type of sand rat has a strong reproductive capacity. Although it is only level one, it is very good at nibbling spiritual plants. Therefore, this task will be issued from time to time. It is a task that will be missed if you are slow. "

"Well, I guess they will pick some low-level spiritual plants along the way. Since you are trying to grow spiritual herbs, we can look for spiritual herb seeds while we are there."

Yun Xi thought that since he had already entered the back mountain, he might as well complete these tasks along the way.

"Okay, it's up to you."

As the two were talking, they arrived at the entrance to the back mountain. There were many disciples of the sect coming in and out here, even some inner disciples. It seemed that they must have accepted the task of entering the inner area of ​​the back mountain.

The two of them were very self-aware and stood in a place where they would not block the way and wait for Sister Hua. They did not have to wait long before Sister Hua and three male disciples came towards them.

"Senior Sister Hua, this way!"

Hua Xuanzi waved in the direction of the voice, then walked quickly towards the two people. After the two sides met, Hua Xuanzi acted as the introducer and let everyone get to know each other first.

"Junior Sister Yunxi, Junior Brother Wei, these are the members of our team. This is Senior Brother Zhao, this is Senior Brother Qian, and this is Senior Brother Li!"

"Three of you, this is Junior Sister Wei Yunxi, whom I often talk about with you. The other one is her cousin Wei Zonghao. They are the ones I invited to replace Junior Sister Zhang."

Wei Yunxi's spiritual sense swept over the three people and determined their cultivation levels. Two of them were at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and the senior brother surnamed Zhao was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, the same level as Hua Xuanzi. From this point of view, the cultivation level of the brothers and sisters was actually at the bottom, but this was only on the surface.

Senior Brother Zhao welcomed the Wei brothers and sisters and said with a smile:

"I've heard Xuanzi say that Junior Sister Wei, many of the talismans you drew have been digested by our own team!"

Wei Yunxi also smiled and bowed:
"That's because Senior Sister Hua took care of me. It's my honor that my talismans can help you, senior brothers."

Zong Hao said nothing, but just stood beside Yun Xi with a smile on his face.

Senior Brother Qian smiled and said:

"Junior sister, you are too polite!"

The group of six exchanged a few more words, and then Senior Brother Zhao led the team into the entrance to the back mountain.

There were disciples on duty at the entrance. After checking their identity jade cards and the tasks they had accepted, they let the six people in.

After entering the back mountain, they stopped joking and started to concentrate on their journey.

Yun Xi and Zong Hao were sandwiched in the middle of the team. Senior Brother Zhao and Hua Xuanzi were in the lead, while Senior Brother Qian and Senior Brother Sun were at the rear. It seemed that they were protecting the two people with the lowest cultivation in the team, but it did not rule out the intention of being wary of them.

Yun Xi and Zong Hao looked at each other secretly and became more alert. It is better to be safe than sorry. They didn't want anything to happen in their own sect.

Yun Xi secretly gestured to Zong Hao, asking him to pay attention to the two people in front of him, while she herself released her spiritual sense to observe the two people behind her. This observation really made her discover something wrong.

Senior Brother Li, who was walking at the end of the team, took advantage of Senior Brother Qian's inattention and left marks where they had passed. From the time they set out to the time they separated from most people, Senior Brother Li had left marks twice. If she hadn't released her spiritual sense, it would have been difficult to find.

Yun Xi frowned, a trace of unease flashing through her heart, her mind racing. Was Senior Sister Hua planning to plot against them? If so, they could just go to a deserted place and strike when they were least prepared. There was no need to summon other helpers.

After all, one of them is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the other is at the seventh level. With the strength of the four of them, they are absolutely overwhelming and don't need any help at all.

If it wasn't a plot against them, then it was a plot against the entire team. That meant at least Senior Brother Li had ulterior motives, otherwise he wouldn't have left marks along the way. Did the rest of the team know about it? Were they involved? She couldn't tell at the moment.

"Yunxi, are you tired?"

Zong Hao noticed the change in Yun Xi's expression and immediately asked with concern.

"No, it's just a little new. This is my first time coming to the back mountain of Haoran Sect. After more than a year of joining, I'm the first time I know that the back mountain of the sect is so big!"

Yun Xi immediately attributed his abnormality to the fact that it was his first time in the sect’s back mountain.
