“Looking for me to form a team?” Chu Liang looked at him with some surprise.
“Do you have such a bad reputation on Jade Sword Peak?” There are hundreds of disciples on Jade Sword Peak, and with Lin Bei’s personality, he wouldn’t lack friends.
Logically speaking, it wouldn’t be so bad that he had to come to Silver Sword Peak to find people, right?
“Hey, hey!” Lin Bei laughed.
“I have the best relationship with you, don’t I?”
“Tell the truth.” Chu Liang said.
“Ah, don’t mention it…” Lin Bei sighed,
“Everyone on our peak knows that I have a good relationship with you. Whoever I want to team up with, they all worry that I am a mole from Silver Sword Peak.” So it was because of him?
Chu Liang thought about it, and it made sense. After all, the Mountain God Festival was not the same as usual tasks. It was a competition among disciples from various peaks, and it was already a prelude to the Shu Mountain Peak Meeting.
During the treasure hunt at the Mountain God Festival, there would be a lot of exploration and decryption activities, and information would be very important at that time.
Things like spying on other teams or even planting moles in advance happened every time.
Especially Jade Sword Peak and Silver Sword Peak are arch-rivals, and Lin Bei is a big mouth. If he accidentally leaked any information to himself and caused the team to fail, it would be too serious.
“It’s not just against your Silver Sword Peak, now our peak is so paranoid about moles. Everyone is worried about encountering spies from other teams when forming a team, and there is no trust between people.” Lin Bei said.
“Your Jade Sword Peak is not united.
“Chu Liang sighed.
“In terms of unity, we are indeed far behind your Silver Sword Peak.
“Lin Bei said.
“Actually, their worries are unnecessary. If they didn’t kick you out, I wouldn’t even have a second teammate, let alone five.” Chu Liang shrugged and said indifferently:
“I never thought about participating in the Mountain God Festival.”
“How can you not participate in such an interesting event?
“Lin Bei hurriedly said:
“Besides, the rewards for the winners of the Mountain God Festival have always been very generous, either a large amount of sword coins or a magic weapon for everyone. It’s too rare in our Shu Mountain!”
“Hmm…” Hearing about the high rewards, Chu Liang was immediately tempted.
“Now that you’re back from the Immortal Swamp, you should be ready to form your Golden Elixir, right?” Lin Bei suddenly asked.
“I’ve already formed it.
“Chu Liang said.
“Oh.
“Upon hearing that he was already a Golden Elixir cultivator, Lin Bei was not surprised, and asked again:
“What kind of elixir did you form?”
“Top-grade Golden Elixir.” Chu Liang said.
“Oh.
“Lin Bei was not surprised to hear about the top-grade Golden Elixir. This made Chu Liang a little surprised. He laughed and said:
“Why are you so calm this time?”
“My heart has long been numb, you can’t shock me anymore.” Lin Bei shook his head. After experiencing one shock after another, he was already immune to Chu Liang’s astonishing performance.
“Really?” Chu Liang asked:
“What if I formed two top-grade Golden Elixirs?”
“Huh?” Lin Bei opened his mouth wide, his previous calmness was gone,
“Is it true?”
“Of course it’s fake.
“Chu Liang laughed,
“How could anyone in this world have two elixirs?”
“Phew…” Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief,
“You scared me to death, I almost thought it was true.” Although this matter was outrageous, if it happened to Chu Liang, he would indeed doubt whether it was true.
There can’t really be someone in the world who has two elixirs, can there?
“Alright, let’s talk about serious matters.” Chu Liang then said:
“There are only two of us in my team, which is not enough to form a team. Shu Mountain may hope to cultivate the team ability of the disciples through the Mountain God Festival. It is not allowed to register if the number of people is insufficient. Unless all the other disciples have found a team, and only a few are left in this special situation. He doesn’t know many people on the mountain.
“What’s there to worry about, the number of people on each peak can’t be just right, there will definitely be some leftovers in the end.
“Lin Bei laughed:
“In our team, with your wisdom and bravery, plus me, it can be said to be both intelligent and brave. As for the rest, where can’t we find a few fools to make up the numbers?” Okay.
So I alone complete both intelligence and bravery, and the remaining four are cheerleaders, right? Chu Liang laughed helplessly, saying:
“Where can we find three fools to make up the numbers…” Before he finished speaking, a greeting came from outside:
“Big brother! Are you there?” The story has to start from this morning. On Cloud Remote Peak, Shang Ziliang and his followers were having breakfast.
“Boss, today is the day for the Mountain God Festival to announce the questions, should we go to register later?” Follower A asked.
“I was confined recently and almost missed it.” Shang Ziliang said:
“Did you guys recruit people?”
“Hmm.
“Follower B responded lowly, eating his meal.
“I’ve already contacted two.” Follower A said:
“Brother Qian Hua, who is in the Golden Elixir realm, and Brother Wang, who is at the peak of the Divine Intent realm, are the strongest two we can find on Cloud Remote Peak.
“
“Very good.” Shang Ziliang praised:
“The three of us are the strongest team on Cloud Remote Peak. Let’s see how we fare against the others!”
“Hmm.”
The second follower responded, continuing to eat in silence. The first follower voiced his concerns:
“But I heard that the team from Bi Luo Peak is entirely made up of Golden Elixir cultivators, led by Sister An. It seems that Brother Xu’s team from Jade Sword Peak is also mostly Golden Elixir cultivators. I’m afraid we might not be able to compete with them?”
“Well…” Shang Ziliang pondered for a moment, then said:
“The Mountain God Festival isn’t just about cultivation level, it’s more about wisdom. In that regard, we’re definitely not at a disadvantage!”
“Hmm.”
The second follower responded, continuing to eat in silence.
“Eh?” The first follower suddenly said:
“Didn’t we hear yesterday that Chu Liang…”
“What Chu Liang? Are you the one who calls him that?” Shang Ziliang suddenly glared at him.
“Oh, I heard yesterday that the boss has already refined a top-grade Golden Elixir! He might be at the Golden Elixir stage now.” The first follower said:
“He’s the only one on Silver Sword Peak, why don’t we invite him to join our team on Cloud Remote Peak?”
“Good idea!” Shang Ziliang nodded vigorously, saying:
“With his help, our Cloud Remote Peak might be able to compete with Bi Luo Peak and Jade Sword Peak!”
“Hmm.”
The second follower responded, continuing to eat in silence. The first follower lowered his voice and whispered:
“Boss, I’ve always wanted to ask you, do you genuinely want to acknowledge him as the boss, or is this some kind of strategy to infiltrate the enemy…”
“Of course it’s genuine!” Shang Ziliang said:
“I’ve tried to scheme against him several times before, but he still saved my life! I naturally have to make amends.”
“Moreover…” A wise light flashed in his eyes,
“Do you remember how long it took him to go from the initial stage of Divine Intent to Golden Elixir? Now he has even formed a top-grade Golden Elixir, I believe he is definitely not weaker than Xu Ziyang and Jiang Yuebai, the contemporary geniuses! I was foolish to think of dealing with him before. I can foresee that in the future, he will definitely have a place in the high ranks of Shu Mountain!”
“Hmm.”
The second follower responded, continuing to eat in silence.
“Brilliant!” The first follower praised,
“The boss has indeed shown his extraordinary potential, and not many people have noticed him yet. If we follow him early, when he rises to power in the future, we will be credited with… the merit of following the dragon!”
“Hehe.” Shang Ziliang urged:
“Hurry up and eat, we’ll go to Silver Sword Peak to invite him after we finish.”
“Hmm.”
The second follower wiped his mouth and responded.
“What are we eating?” The first follower suddenly asked in a daze.
“We’re eating, of course.”
Shang Ziliang answered strangely.
“Where’s the food?” The first follower looked confused. Shang Ziliang looked down at the table, only to see four or five porcelain plates as shiny as mirrors, with no food on them?
“Hey, this is really strange.” He exclaimed:
“Where’s the food?” The second follower also scratched his head,
“Could it be that we’ve been robbed?” Without bothering to look for food, Shang Ziliang led his two followers out the door, riding the wind to Silver Sword Peak.
Chu Liang heard the call from outside, walked out, and saw the three of them coming.
“What’s up?” He asked.
“Boss!” Shang Ziliang stepped forward and said,
“We came to talk to you about forming a team for the Mountain God Festival.”
“Eh?” Chu Liang looked up, it was indeed a coincidence, he asked with a smile:
“Do you want to team up with me?”
“Yes.” Shang Ziliang said.
“That’s great.” Chu Liang grabbed his hand:
“Welcome to my team.”
