Chapter 89: Reaching the Northern Heavenly Trench

sketched by the Lei Shehua in half.Lin Qi's dantian's spiritual energy was also drained in an instant.She held her sword in one hand, propping herself up on the ground, breathing heavily."Success!"Lin...:

Gu Yunchi was a shy person, blushing when praised by Lin Qi.

Seeing that Lin Qi was truly interested in formations, he took the initiative and suggested: "I have a few scrolls on introductory formations. If you're interested, I can lend them to you for a few days... But you'll have to return them to me later."

His last sentence was stammered, and you couldn't tell if it took all his courage to speak.

Lin Qi nodded like garlic, her eyes smiling like crescent moons, "Master brother, rest assured, in three days we'll reach the Northern Heavenly Chasm. I'll try my best to fly the boat for you before then!"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Qi spent day and night poring over books, cultivating his skills. Finally, on the last day, he had memorized all three scrolls of the Introductory Array Formation Manual.

Before setting off on her journey, she first went to find Gu Yunchi and the scroll.

Gu Yunchi was surprised to see her, "Junior Sister Lin, there's no need to be so anxious..."

"Since I have promised Senior Brother Gu to return in three days, I must keep my word!"

She winked playfully at Gu Yunchi, "Borrowing and returning is a simple matter. Lending again wouldn't be difficult. Isn't this me telling Senior Brother Gu that I'm trustworthy, laying the groundwork for borrowing books next time"

Gu Yunchi's laughter echoed at her words. He took back the scroll and said with a soft, gentle voice, "Next time if you need any books, just come borrow them."

"Gu senior brother, you are truly a kind person."

Gu Yunchi was praised so much that he felt awkward all over.

When Lin Qi was preparing to go back, she met Chen En on the way.

She was talking to a pretty girl.

"This time, you must hand over all the spirit stones from this mission, and exchange all your contribution points for spirit stones for me!"

Remember, don't try to cheat! Don't forget your mother!

Chen En's hand clenched tightly into a fist, and he muttered softly, "Yes."

"Humph!" The cute girl turned to leave, only to see Lin Qi standing at the intersection.

Her proud and confident expression immediately softened, and she bowed respectfully: “Greetings, Senior Sister.”

Lin Qi glanced at the jade pendant on her, it was a token of an outer disciple from Zhenfeng.

Lin Qi nodded at her.

As the girl was leaving, she glanced back at Chen En and gave her a warning look not to talk nonsense.

Chen En saw Lin Qi, a flicker of panic flashed across his face, "Sister Lin! How did you get here"

Lin Qi's eyes sparkled, as if she hadn't seen or heard anything. She deliberately accused, "Chen En, you actually came to participate in the mission Why didn't you tell us Are you still afraid that I and Tan Yueqing would disturb you"

"No!" Chen En instinctively denied, then whispered, "My assigned mission is different from yours."

Lin Qi: "Are you taking on a bounty hunt mission"

"No... not at all."

This time, the disciples from the north who came to train only had three types of tasks. One was a guard duty that required water ice spiritual roots, another was a hunting mission that required high cultivation, and the last one was the logistics team, commonly known as the errand runners.

Chen En is an ice-wood dual spiritual root. Logically, she should have been assigned to the guard duty, but Lin Qi didn't see her name on the list.

If she is now denying it was a hunting mission, then it must have been the support team.

In logistical tasks, there are two types of high-ranking individuals. One is like Gu Yunchi, who only needs to stay in the rear and draw battle formations. The other type is more like a general laborer, doing all the dirty, tiring, and chaotic work.

Chen En had no other skills, it could only be the latter kind.

At least he's a disciple who is重點培養 by Lu Bing Peak. This mission he participated in turned out to be just doing chores

Lin Qi thought about her conversation with the girl just now, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"The flying boat is about to land soon, so we shouldn't chat much longer. If our mission locations are the same, I'll find you later!"

Chen let out a breath and smiled. "Good,"

After returning to the third floor, Master Brother Li Shouzheng of the Lu Bingfeng sect was reading out the team assignments and mission locations.

Lin Qi 'coincidentally' ended up on the same team as Tan Yueqing. Even more 'coincidentally', their team leader was none other than Li Shouzheng.

Listening to True Monarch Han Zhen's use of this back door, it really is 'open and honest'.

She walked behind Tan Yueqing, “Chen En also participated in the northern mission, did you know”

Tan Yueqing's expression remained unchanged as she lightly nodded. "I know. She took on odd jobs."

"So you knew all along..." Lin Qi thought to herself.

Tan Yueqing and Chen En are fellow disciples from the same peak, so they definitely understand Chen En's situation better.

Since she didn't say what it was, Lin Qi didn't ask any further.

The flying boat landed.

A sudden roar shook the air, and soon a cacophony of noise filled the surroundings.

Cultivation disciples were mostly very excited.

After all, once you join a sect, it's generally very difficult to see the outside world, especially in a remote place like the north.

Tan Yue calmly surveyed the area and explained to Lin Qi: "After passing the Northern Sky Gap, the closer you get to the location of Jinwu's calamity, the more severe the environment becomes. The major sects have jointly established two lines of defense. Disciples below Nascent Soul stop at the first line of defense, and the team with stronger overall strength will be assigned to the deeper areas."

As we were talking, teams started arriving in their flying vessels one after another.

Lin Qi touched his chin, "The leader of our guard team is Senior Brother Li, he's a Jindan cultivator, so we probably have to wait a while before getting off the flying boat. I wonder which hunting team we'll be paired with for the mission."

"It should be Master Yuan Xi..." Tan Yue cleared her throat, her voice as cold and clear as jade colliding, like a spring flowing.

"Really" Lin Qi couldn't help but be surprised, and instinctively asked, "How did you know Isn't it random assignment, and we only find out the mission location when we get there"

Tan Yue's clear gaze fell on Li Shouzheng, and she said softly: "After the eldest brother got the task allocation scroll, his face didn't look good. He... doesn't get along very well with Yuan Xi."

Actually, Tan Yueqing was being very subtle.

Li Shouzheng only looks displeased when he meets Yuan Xi.

Lin Qi couldn't help but be curious, "My senior sister is so good, how could anyone not get along with her What's going on here"

"It's not like there was any major grudge between us."

Tan Yueqing leaned close to Lin Qi's side and whispered, "Brother Shi, do you think Qingyun Zhenjun loves to bully Master and always tries to take advantage of Bingfeng Even Yuanxi Senior Sister surpasses him in cultivation... He can't stand it."

Lin Qi gave a thumbs-up. "Understood! I'll be good and won't cause any trouble for my senior sister."

When most of the disciples on the third floor had left, it was finally Lin Qi's team's turn.

Their mission this time is located in Bisha Town, which is in the middle of the first line of defense.

After landing, it was exactly as Tan Yueqing had guessed.

The hunting team was led by Senior Sister Yuan Xi, and most of the members were disciples from Zonglei Peak.

The logistics team was led by Luo Yidie, the third disciple of Zhenfeng. She was a cultivator at the early stage of foundation establishment and a second-rank formation master.

Li Shouzheng and Yuan Xi, Luo Yidie have finished checking the mission.

Yuan Xi: "The Hunter Squad and the Guardian Squad protect inside and outside, respectively. If they can maintain contact and information exchange, they can better complete the mission."

Luo Yidie followed with a nod, "With the three teams working together, this mission can be completed successfully."

Li Shouzheng, however, refused this proposal.

"The scroll lists each team's specific mission. Everyone has their role, just do your job."

Yuanxi still wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Li Shuzheng had already led his people to prepare to leave.

Chapter 3! Am I up super early today Hahaha. Double update tomorrow, recommendation the day after tomorrow. I'll triple update then.olutely refused, "Fighting is prohibited within the sect!"Lu Lingyun's pitch-black eyes stared at Lin Qi, his face revealing a hint of excitement. "The Remnant Sword Peak is not bound by such rules. A...
