Chapter 1156: Chapter 1047: Confrontation
Li Zhirui did not justify himself, only took out a bottle of Seventh Rank Precious Pill and handed it over.
Feng Santree did not feel embarrassed about his suspicion, he naturally accepted it and checked it with his Divine Sense.
"A top-grade Seventh Rank Jade Liquid Treasure Pill?" Feng Santree’s face showed a hint of surprise and said, "I didn’t expect Fellow Daoist’s Alchemy Dao cultivation to be so powerful."
Li Zhirui smiled slightly. He chose not to prove himself with the top-grade Precious Pill that had been purified, as it was obtained through cheating means after all. If Li Zhirui were to personally concoct pills, he was not yet capable of doing that.
Moreover, the value of a top-grade Precious Pill was already very high, many alchemists could not produce it.
Following Feng Santree, Li Zhirui smoothly joined the Senluo Squad and through his explanations along the way, gained a clearer understanding of this squad.
Although named a squad, it owned more than a hundred Integration cultivators, and over three hundred Lianxu Cultivators, surpassing the strength of all the Integration forces.
But among the hundred Immortal Cities spanning the battlefield, Senluo Squad was not the strongest, merely squeezing into the first tier barely.
Of course, it was the most formidable squad in Taisui Immortal City.
Moreover, the residence of the Senluo Squad in the city was much larger than what Li Zhirui had seen, otherwise it could not accommodate so many buildings and cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist, since you are new here, you may first choose an unoccupied Cave Mansion to rest and recuperate for a while, then head to the Task Hall to pick up tasks suitable for you," Feng Santree said after he had gone through all the introductions, leaving a Jade Slip for Li Zhirui before turning to leave.
After all, as the deputy leader, he had many matters to attend to, and being able to accompany Li Zhirui for so long was already a sign of great regard.
The content in the Jade Slip was somewhat complex, containing the squad’s rules, reward and punishment measures, maps, etc., but after reading, one wouldn’t need to worry about making mistakes.
Li Zhirui, following the map, arrived at a large complex of buildings meant for squad members to reside and cultivate in.
Of course, if dissatisfied, one could also rent Cave Mansions with Spirit Stones in the Immortal City. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
However, generally, people wouldn’t do this because it not only wastes Spirit Stones, but also in any emergency, they couldn’t arrive on time.
Since it was a standard Cave Mansion without much difference, plus the need to arrange his own Formations, Li Zhirui didn’t spend much effort, casually picking one Cave Mansion, set up a Seventh Rank Formation carried from his family, and began to regulate his breathing and cultivate.
Early the next day, Li Zhirui went to the Task Hall to check the recent teams headed to the Immortal Demon Battlefield and suitable tasks.
Although named a squad, Senluo Squad internally had so many cultivators that it wasn’t possible for every member to be deployed each time, thus many members would form teams of about ten people themselves.
Unfortunately, since these teams were well-acquainted with each other and worked together seamlessly, unless someone perished or for various reasons had to leave the battlefield, they generally would not look for new teammates, hence Li Zhirui saw no teams recruiting.
He now had to either continue waiting or act alone.
Considering his purpose for this trip, Li Zhirui unhesitatingly chose the latter.
As for the tasks in the Task Hall, actually most of them originated from Taisui Immortal City, and were just replicated by the Senluo Squad.
Approximately only two to three percent of the tasks were issued by the Senluo Squad themselves; to make a distinction, the tasks from Senluo Squad had a character for ’Sen’ on the Jade Token.
The two types of tasks didn’t have much difference, all involved slaying Demon Cultivators, collecting bodies of Demon Cultivators, or some reconnaissance tasks.
Collecting bodies of Demon Cultivators was not for using them in Alchemy, but to understand the cultivation techniques of Demon Cultivators through the traces left in their body’s meridians and seek countermeasures.
However, this was extremely difficult; perhaps dissecting thousands of bodies might not yield a complete cultivation technique, let alone finding a countermeasure and targeting it.
Moreover, bodies on the battlefield were very prone to destruction, which further increased the difficulty of obtaining and analyzing them.
The Demon Cultivators did not engage in such activities because in their view, whether cultivators or bodies of Demon Cultivators, after being refined by Mana for a long time, were filled with spirituality and were excellent resources for Cultivation.
Thus, when the Demon Cultivators retreated, they would try to collect more bodies.
They were less concerned about counteracting; in the eyes of Demon Powers, all were just consumables, cannon fodder, whether they die or not didn’t matter.
Demonic Tao was like a huge Gu Pool, only those who broke through to the Individual Immortal Realm could escape; otherwise, one might end up as a cultivation resource for a higher-level Demon Cultivator.
But speaking of which!
After taking on a few tasks, Li Zhirui left the station, went through several procedures, and left Taisui Immortal City.
Just stepping out of the towering, massive city walls, a strong stench of blood hit him, and Li Zhirui immediately cast a spell to block it.
Looking up again, he suddenly found that the colors of the world before him seemed to have changed.
It was a color darkening from red!
And what caused all this, were the countless lives lost on the Immortal Demon Battlefield over the years!
The dense bloody Qi, Evil Qi, Yin Qi, and other evil energies continuously intertwined and entangled, making Li Zhirui, who cultivated the Purification Principle, extremely uncomfortable.
He could clearly feel that the Purification Principle was greatly suppressed in this land, hardly able to exert its original power.
’Is the Lotus Seed Skill also ineffective?’
With a thought, Li Zhirui scattered several White Lotus Spirit Seeds nearby and cast a spell to promote their growth.
