Chapter 33: Disguise and Enter the Mountain

Li Yi walked into the crowd, and disappeared after a few flashes.

A moment later, he appeared in a remote corner and put on the middle-grade spiritual mask on his face.

Li Yi, who put on the mask, looked like a middle-aged man, and then walked out from a corner. Li Yi would never go back to the inn where he lived before. He basically carried his belongings with him. After finding a new inn, Li Yi took out the "Basic Alchemy Encyclopedia" he bought and began to read it carefully.

Alchemy, for Li Yi, basically knows nothing. The blue spirit pills that he and his father Li Gan made before are not spiritual pills at all. They can only be said to be some of the most common pills suitable for mortals.

"It turns out that alchemy is so complicated, and you have to learn some spells. But fortunately, these spells are relatively simple and easy to use." Li Yi sighed.

Then he picked up the "Basic Spiritual Medicine Atlas" and read it carefully. There are hundreds of spiritual medicines recorded in it, which basically covers all the medicinal materials needed for basic spiritual pills.

At present, he needs to refine pills, mainly pills suitable for refining qi. There are three pill formulas recorded at the end of the basic alchemy encyclopedia, namely Juyuan Pill, Shenling Pill and Zhiyuan Pill, which are the three pills he has seen in the Qingdan League.

Li Yi easily found all the materials he needed to refine these three pills in the spiritual medicine atlas. In addition to the main materials, other auxiliary materials are needed to refine these pills, about twenty kinds. Fortunately, these medicinal materials can be found in the Tianyun Mountains.

However, there is still a problem now, that is, he is not familiar with the Tianyun Mountains, and he dare not go in and rush in. He also heard that there are some third-level and fourth-level monsters in the depths of the mountains. The third-level monster is equivalent to the perfect cultivator of the Qi Refining Stage, and the fourth-level monster is equivalent to the strength of the foundation-building cultivator. He dare not go in and rush in.

After changing his appearance, Li Yi wandered around Juxian City for a few days. In the mission hall of Juxian City, he saw a mission that Qianling Medicine Shop needed to hire 20 cultivators above the fourth level of Qi Refining to protect their herb-collecting team to enter the Tianyun Mountains to collect herbs. The time was about three months. Qianling Medicine Shop, like Qingdan League, is also an organization that refines and sells elixirs, but they also cultivate medicinal materials themselves, so they often need to enter the Tianyun Mountains to collect various medicinal materials.

Li Yi felt that this was an opportunity, and he could sneak in and secretly collect some spiritual medicines.

"Hello, I need to sign up for the hiring mission."

Li Yi found the residence of Qianling Medicine Shop, found the registration office, and then spoke directly.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, come here with me. We need to take the assessment to join the escort team here." A young man led Li Yi to the inside.

After a while, they came to a martial arts arena. At this time, there were already more than a dozen people waiting in line. Among them, those who signed up were all cultivators at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training. There were very few cultivators like Li Yi who were at the fourth level of Qi training. There were only a few.

Li Yi watched the assessment of everyone on the side. In fact, the assessment process was relatively simple. He just had to knock a black humanoid puppet in the martial arts arena away.

Looking at the attack power of everyone, with his current strength, he needed to use a high-level spiritual weapon to do it. Soon it was Li Yi's turn.

At this time, an old man with a white beard, holding a pen and a small notebook, frowned and said to Li Yi: "You are only at the fourth level of Qi training, and your strength is a bit low."

"Go up! Use your strongest attack to attack that puppet and see."

"Okay."

After that, Li Yi took out a golden flying sword, pinched a magic formula, and the golden sword in his hand quickly grew larger, about ten inches long, and then turned into a golden light, fiercely chopped on the black puppet, and the puppet was instantly knocked back more than ten meters away.

"Hey, look, it's actually a high-grade spiritual weapon?"

"This kid is so lucky to get a high-grade spiritual weapon."

"No wonder a young cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training dares to come here and follow the herb-collecting team into the mountains."

"This is a disciple from a big family! He must be out for training! Otherwise, how could he have a high-grade spiritual weapon with such a low level of cultivation?"

"You are stupid, a disciple from a big family, dare to show off this level of cultivation, aren't you afraid of being killed and robbed of treasures!"

...

The people around began to talk about it, and many cultivators at the fifth and sixth levels of Qi training showed envy, greed, and jealousy. There were also a few people looking at Li Yi, with a hint of sinister sneer on their faces.

The white-haired old man looked at Li Yi with some surprise, and then said lightly: "Okay, you passed the test, what's your name, just register it."

"Li Hao." Li Yi casually said a name, and then he was taken to a separate small room to rest.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, Li Yi was called to the martial arts arena for the test again. At this time, a middle-aged man in a black robe stood in the center of the martial arts arena. There were three light green grasses embroidered on his chest. This man looked at them indifferently. Li Yi used the spiritual eye technique to observe that this man's cultivation was the eighth level of Qi training.

A moment later, the martial arts arena was full of people. They should all be hired people. At this moment, on the other side of them, there were more than a dozen young men and women in white clothes. They were not very old and their cultivation was about the first or second level of Qi training.

The old man who was in charge of their test and assessment suddenly came over and said to them: "Okay, now that everyone is here, I will tell you about this mission. This time, we are going to Yunwu Ridge in Tianyun Mountain Range. The hired Taoist friends are mainly responsible for protecting the safety of our herbalists and helping them clear obstacles encountered during the herbal collection process, such as wild beasts, poisonous insects, and even some monsters. If you encounter danger, you don't need to fight hard, and then send a distress signal, and we will have someone to help."

"In addition, there is one thing to note. For the spiritual medicines we encounter, our Qianling Pharmacy must have the priority to collect them. For the spiritual medicines we don't need, you Taoist friends can dispose of them at will. We don't care. Okay, now each Taoist friend is responsible for a pharmacist, two people in a group, everyone can distribute them by themselves!"

The person assigned to Li Yi was a dark-skinned young man. He stood directly beside Li Yi and said to Li Yi: "I am Chen Ming, I am in the same group with you, please take care of me."

"Li Hao, I hope to have a pleasant cooperation." Li Yi replied.

"Team Leader Zhou, everyone is here, everything has been arranged, we can set off now." The old man walked to the young man and said to him.

"Okay, let's go." The young man waved his hand and took Li Yi and others away, heading towards the Tianyun Mountains outside the city.
