Peerless Insect Deity

Chapter 43 Urgent Mission

Ye Lin opened his mouth wide, and Xiaoqiang put the century-old wild ginseng into his mouth. He only heard a clicking sound of chewing, and then a "gudong" sound. It was unknown which monk's century-old wild ginseng was swallowed by Ye Lin. Take it into your belly.

A hundred-year-old wild ginseng is worth about two spiritual stones. Taking it directly can strengthen the body and improve the physical condition. It is a great tonic. Some people in the world use it to hang themselves, and immortal cultivators generally use it to refine elixirs.

Basically, only some inner disciples can cook century-old wild ginseng.

It seemed that Xiaoqiang was patronizing a certain inner sect brother who was against Song Lingtian.

So Ye Lin didn't have any psychological pressure at all about eating Xiaoqiang's stolen treasures.

After taking a bath, Ye Lin put on the middle-grade robes specially provided for the outer disciples of Taixuan Sect. He was in a good mood and was about to go back to continue practicing. Suddenly, a spiritual light flashed in the sky, and soon there was a white paper crane. He flew to Ye Lin and spoke.

"Senior outer disciple Ye Lin of Spirit Beast Peak, a sect mission has been assigned to your name. Come to the Taixuan Peak Mission Hall quickly. The mission is urgent and must not be missed!"

Ye Lin was slightly stunned at first.

"I didn't expect that I would be assigned a task just after I became an outer disciple. The mortal world seems to be very unstable recently."

As far as Ye Lin knew, in the past, the outer disciples of Taixuan Sect were very leisurely. Not to mention being assigned tasks, they might not be able to get them even if they went to the task hall to receive them.

Xiaobai poked his head out of the water: "Finally I have a chance to go down the mountain. I haven't been to the outside world for more than a year."

Then Xiaobai's huge size quickly shrank, and finally climbed onto Ye Lin's wrist, turning into a bracelet made of white jade.

Now that Xiaobai has learned the art of transformation, even a powerful foundation-building monk would find it difficult to recognize its true form.

Xiaoqiang also raised his big pliers and cheered.

"Go out, go out!"

Then his body quickly shrank, turning into the size of an ordinary cockroach and crawling into Ye Lin's sleeves.

As for Xiaolan, instead of shrinking, it expanded to the size of a millstone. Ye Lin stepped on its carapace with a slight jump. Xiaolan flapped its wings "buzzingly" and carried Ye Lin "swissingly". A sound shot straight into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

According to Taixuan Sect's rules, outer disciples must go out of the sect at least once every three months to complete a sect mission, and they must also obey the dispatch if there is an urgent mission.

Obviously, the task assigned to Ye Lin is an urgent one!

As for the content of the mission, most of them are to go down to the mortal world to kill demons and protect the mortals of the Daxuan Dynasty from living and working in peace and contentment. Because of this, the common people of the Daxuan Dynasty regard Taixuanmen disciples as gods.

In the clouds, Xiaolan's flying speed has even exceeded that of many passing cranes.

Although Xiaolan can't speak yet, her strength is vastly different from a year ago. She has already reached the fifth level of Qi training, and is even close to the sixth level. Her level of improvement is much faster than that of Ye Lin. many.

Ye Lin is only at the third level of Qi training now. The main reason is that he spent most of his time practicing "Five Elements Vajra Kung Fu" and "Five Elements Hunyuan Jue" to solidify the foundation of practice.

As for the spirit insects, they follow the path of demons. By raising their realm, they can gain powerful magical power and physical strength, and they do not need to practice various mental techniques and techniques.

Of course, the rapid growth of spirit insects is only for the spirit insects raised by Ye Lin. The growth rate of spirit beasts and spirit insects raised by others is much slower.

Not long after, Ye Lin had already entered the mission hall where people were coming and going. He took out his identity token and handed it to the senior who worked in the mission hall.

"My dear, Ye Lin, a senior outer disciple of Spirit Beast Peak, has just received a letter from Linghe and is here to carry out the sect's mission!"

After confirming the identity jade tag, the senior brother from the mission hall said: "Junior brother Ye, please go to the mission hall No. 3 on the fifth floor of the mission hall. The members who will perform the mission will gather there. After you go there, the steward who issued the mission will tell you The specific content of the task.”

"Thank you, senior brother."

Ye Lin saluted slightly and strode up the stairs of the mission hall.

At this time, Xiao Lan had also shrunk her body and got into Ye Lin's robe.

Not long after, Ye Lin came to the mission hall No. 3 on the fifth floor. When he entered it, he found more than ten Taixuan Sect monks sitting cross-legged inside, most of them were outer sect monks at the third, fourth, and fifth levels of Qi training. There are also two inner monks with powerful auras, obviously exceeding the sixth level of Qi training.

There was silence in the room. Everyone glanced at Ye Lin and closed their eyes again to breathe without paying much attention. Ye Lin also found a corner and sat down cross-legged.

It has been more than a year since Ye Lin last fought outside the Chuan Gong Pavilion. He practiced in a low-key manner for the rest of the time, and now most of the monks in Tai Xuan Sect no longer pay attention to him.

"There are a lot of people on this mission, and all the inner disciples are dispatched. It seems to be a big deal!"

Not long after, seven more outer disciples arrived, adding up to a total of twenty people.

Immediately, a foundation-building steward wearing a blue robe walked quickly into the room. Everyone clasped their fists and saluted: "I've seen the steward before."

The steward of the mission hall is a young-looking man with white hair and a boyish face. His exact age cannot be determined. His eyes are deep and steady.

"I will arrange your tasks next."

"In recent days, in a border town in Baiyun County, mortals have been missing for no reason while sleeping late at night. More than 20 people have disappeared in half a month. Even the two outer disciples who went to investigate in the previous batch have also lost contact with the sect. Get in touch!”

"Initially, we suspect that there are demons or evil spirits with high level of cultivation causing trouble. You and I have two main purposes for going this time. One is to find out what is causing trouble and kill it as much as possible. If it cannot be killed, notify the sect immediately. , The second is to try to find out the traces of the missing sect, try to rescue them if they are still alive, and bring back the relics if they are dead!"

"For completing this mission, the outer disciples will receive 100 contribution points, and the two inner disciples who lead the team will receive 200 contribution points. The mission is urgent. Mortals are missing every day. You must go as quickly as possible without making any mistakes!"

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

After speaking, the steward of the mission hall gave each person a mission jade slip. The jade slip recorded the specific circumstances of the mission and also drew a detailed map of a radius of 500 miles around the mission location.

Ye Lin took a quick glance.

The border town where this mission is located is called Paoma Town, which is 1,600 miles away from Taixuanmen. Because it is surrounded by plains, the people in the town have made a living raising horses for generations, so Paoma Town got its name.

After the steward finished explaining the task, he left without saying anything. Everyone in the task hall looked very serious.

This mission is obviously very dangerous. The last batch of outer sect disciples who went to investigate have disappeared. To put it mildly, they have disappeared. They have probably died. Otherwise, they would have been in contact with the sect for so long.

If they are not careful, they may be the next "missing person"!

One of the middle-aged monks from the inner sect said: "I have carried out many dangerous missions. Before setting off, we must formulate some strict rules!"

"I have carried out many dangerous missions. For everyone's safety and for the smooth completion of the mission, we must make some strict agreements before departure!"

Another female cultivator from the inner sect clasped her fists slightly at the male cultivator from the inner sect: "Senior Brother Zhou has been performing missions outside all year round and has rich mission experience. For this mission, Senior Brother Zhou will be the leader. Junior Sister is willing to obey the command."

Everyone also clasped their fists at the inner monk named Zhou: "I am willing to obey the command of Senior Brother Zhou!"

Ye Lin also followed everyone and clasped his fists.

It turns out that this Senior Brother Zhou is a rare mission maniac among the inner disciples. His name is Zhou Yuan. He is not on missions, but on the way to carry out missions. Although his cultivation is not outstanding, he is somewhat famous. Ye Lin lives in seclusion. The news is not clear yet, but since everyone trusts him, Ye Lin cannot be treated as an exception.

He really had no experience in going out to do missions. It would be much safer to have experienced people lead the mission. Perhaps the mission hall also took this into consideration and arranged for Zhou Yuan to lead the team.

Ye Lin observed Zhou Yuan carefully and found that his temples were slightly white, his eyes were firm, and his temperament was calm. He was actually a middle-aged monk and had probably been practicing in Taixuan Sect for decades.

It took him several decades to reach the sixth level of Qi training. His cultivation qualifications are indeed very ordinary. He should be a low-grade spiritual root holder.

Zhou Yuan also clasped his fists at everyone: "Thank you for your trust, junior brothers and sisters. I, Zhou Yuan, will do my best to bring you all back safely while completing the sect's mission!"

He continued what he said before: "Currently we have no way of knowing the specific situation in Happy Horse Town. It is known that the evil demons are good at operating in the dark and in sleep. After you arrive in Happy Horse Town, you can no longer sleep or practice. Be vigilant at all times!”

"At the same time, even if you are performing an investigation mission, you must maintain a group of at least ten people. During the mission, there must be no distractions. You must maintain a safe distance and be ready to support your teammates at any time. Remember, do not act alone!"

"If you have any different suggestions or opinions, you can put them forward before departure."

Everyone was silent, indicating that they had no other opinions.

Even Ye Lin, who has always been very cautious, couldn't help but admire Zhou Yuan in his heart after hearing the plan formulated by senior brother Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuandao: "Since there are no objections, everyone will go to Feizhou Hall with me. According to the sect's regulations, twenty or more disciples can apply for the use of flying boats to perform tasks. Since our strength is uneven, we have different flying methods. , using the flying boat can allow us to reach the mission location faster.”

"The most important thing is that there is a defensive formation on the flying boat. If you encounter an emergency, you can retreat to the flying boat and wait for support from the sect or other righteous monks!"

Ye Lin secretly kept in mind Zhou Yuan's various experience and skills in performing tasks.

Nowadays, demons are everywhere, and the mortal world and the world of immortality are not peaceful. Once you become an outer sect or inner sect disciple, you may go out to perform tasks very frequently. Learning as much experience as possible can increase the completion rate and survival rate of tasks.

Fortunately, Ye Lin thought that after more than a year of practice, he already had some means of self-protection. Otherwise, he would probably be the most feared person during this dangerous mission.

In fact, Ye Lin is very afraid of death.

Ye Lin observed the status of other teammates around him and found that most of them had solemn expressions, obviously feeling very uneasy.

However, Tai Xuan Sect's task assignments are mandatory. As long as they are within the scope of the sect's rules, the assigned disciples have no right to refuse.

Killing demons and protecting mortals is the basic responsibility of every righteous disciple. For countless years, for this responsibility, countless righteous monks have been turned into loess.

Now, Ye Lin has also shouldered this heavy responsibility.

There is a stipulation in the sect rules of the three righteous sects that anyone who witnesses mortals being harmed by demons and has the strength but does nothing is a serious crime, which can range from being imprisoned for several years to being expelled from the sect.

Soon, Ye Lin and other teammates flew on swords and arrived at the Flying Boat Hall.

The Flying Boat Hall is responsible for the refining, calling, management and maintenance of Taixuanmen's flying boats. This is Ye Lin's first time here.

He couldn't help but be shocked by the spectacular scene in front of him again.

There is a huge square with a width of a thousand feet in the Flying Boat Hall, on which hundreds of flying boats are parked.

He still remembers that it was dark when he first entered Taixuanmen. As a mortal, he had no night vision ability and naturally could not see such a spectacular scene.

The flying boat is also a kind of magic weapon, but it is an assembled magic weapon. Each flying boat is actually assembled from multiple magic weapon parts, which is more than ten times more expensive than a single magic weapon of the same grade.

After Zhou Yuan submitted the task jade slip and the flying boat calling application, he soon got a token, which is the control order of the flying boat. Holding it can control the flying boat.

Ye Lin noticed that the flying boat Zhou Yuan applied for was a top-grade magic weapon, while the flying boat he had been introduced to before, which fell and collapsed on the way, was a mid-grade magic weapon. The flying boat with a mid-grade magic weapon was enough to withstand two thunder bombardments, and the defense capability of the flying boat with a top-grade magic weapon must be much stronger.

Not long after, Ye Lin and his party set sail on the flying boat and flew into the vast clouds. On the deck of the flying boat, many cultivators looked down at the magnificent Taixuan Gate, just like children who were going on a long journey, and were extremely nostalgic for home.

Even after the revision of the sect rules, the competition in Taixuan Gate was fierce, and fights could be seen everywhere, and some people killed each other in the duel field, but everyone knew it very well.

No matter how unsafe Taixuan Gate was, it was countless times better than outside Taixuan Gate.

Since the detection of spiritual roots and entering Taixuan Gate, all disciples have cut off their earthly ties. Taixuan Gate is their only support and home.

After leaving home, they will face the cruel and vicious world of immortal cultivation!

Even Ye Lin, standing by the side of the ship, was filled with emotion.

"I hope this mission can be successfully completed."

Zhou Yuan stood at the bow and smiled at his fellow disciples, saying, "Don't worry, as long as we work together, there won't be too much danger. The sect has already assessed the danger level of the mission. Since we were sent out to complete the mission, it means that we are capable of completing it. It can be seen that many of you are participating in dangerous missions for the first time."

"You can look at me... I have participated in at least 50 missions in total, if not 100... I am still alive and well, right? Instead of worrying about the future, it is better to carefully plan and arrange the mission process!"

Zhou Yuan's words made many cultivators put away their weak mentality, and some people bowed to Zhou Yuan slightly, expressing their admiration and gratitude for Zhou Yuan. Ye Lin was one of them.

Zhou Yuan said gently, "Come over here, let's make a preliminary grouping. The efficiency of the investigation task of one group is too low. The two groups take into account both safety considerations and investigation efficiency, which is a more ideal situation."
