Chapter 25 Master, if it's team building, why are you handing out shovels?
"Thump!"
Yun Qinghe's Dao heart completely collapsed, his legs went weak, and he knelt directly on the ground.
He looked at Xiao Fan as if he were a god, and scrambled over to him, grabbing Xiao Fan's leg and crying uncontrollably.
"Master! You are the true master! Please, please accept me as your disciple!"
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Lin Zhou appeared beside them without them noticing and kicked Yun Qinghe away.
"You think you can just freeload off my apprentice? A bet's a bet, leave your stuff behind and get out of here."
Lin Zhou snatched a storage bag from Yun Qinghe, who was crying her heart out, took out a high-quality Foundation Establishment Pill from it, and stuffed it directly into Xiao Fan's mouth.
"Disciple, eat it."
Xiao Fan swallowed it without hesitation.
boom!
A powerful medicinal force exploded within his body in an instant!
He was enveloped in a dazzling glow, and above his head, spiritual energy gathered into a funnel shape. There were even faint sounds of celestial music, and auspicious energy permeated the entire Lingxiao Sect!
"Holy crap! This commotion... has someone broken through to the Golden Core stage?!"
"Look! It's in the direction of Xiaoqiong Mountain!"
"Heaven bless our Lingxiao Sect! Following Martial Uncle Lin, another member has broken through to the Golden Core stage!"
The entire Lingxiao Sect was alarmed. Countless disciples and elders flew into the air and looked towards Xiaoqiong Mountain, their faces flushed with excitement.
Sect Master Ling Xiaozhi personally appeared and quelled the disturbance.
At this moment, Xiao Fan, who caused all of this, successfully broke through and stepped into the early stage of Foundation Establishment!
After this battle, Xiao Fan, the senior disciple of Xiaoqiong Mountain, became known throughout the entire Lingxiao Sect as a master of both alchemy and martial arts.
Countless outer and even inner disciples were desperate to switch to Xiaoqiong Mountain.
As a result, Linzhou rejected them all, saying, "Our company doesn't hire trash, we only hire students with stories."
So, starting the next day, the entrance to the bamboo house in Linzhou was piled high with all sorts of parchment scrolls, jade slips, and even letters written in blood.
The above are all kinds of heartbreaking and tragic stories.
"Master, I am a cursed lone star, destined to bring death to my entire family. Please take me in!"
"Master, my fiancée ran off with someone else and stole my family heirloom! We made a ten-year promise!"
"Master, I was struck by lightning, and when I woke up, I found an old man in my head, but he seems to be dying..."
Lin Zhou almost vomited blood when he saw these bizarre submissions.
Is this some kind of apprenticeship recruitment drive or is he just browsing through Qidian's orphanage?!
Just as he was about to burn all of these things.
It was late at night.
Ye Ge, the third apprentice, sneaked out of his hole and quietly crept up behind Lin Zhou.
"Master..."
Ye Ge's voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of tension and determination.
"I...I know a place where there is a miraculous medicine that can make my second senior brother's bones evolve again."
"But that place...is terrifying!"
Ye Ge gritted her teeth and handed over the sheepskin map in her hand, as if offering up all her possessions.
He's scared!
I'm so scared!
The eldest brother is the future Flame Emperor, the second brother is the future Bone Emperor, and even that icy beauty who delivers steaming tofu every day is the future Ice Rakshasa!
This sect is practically a kindergarten run by a demon king!
If I, as a reborn person, don't demonstrate enough value, I'm afraid I might be eaten as a snack by my master one day!
Linzhou took the map and glanced at it.
[Ding! S-level opportunity clue detected: Sunset Valley, Eastern Xuan Region. It is recommended that the host travel there, as there is an opportunity that can help disciple Shi Yi's [Ancestral Dragon Emperor Bone] evolve.]
Oh ho?
This apprentice with paranoia is also a treasure-hunting rat!
Lin Zhou was overjoyed, but he kept a straight face and patted Ye Ge's head with satisfaction.
"So sensible, so very sensible."
"From now on, you will be the chief strategist of our Xiaoqiong Mountain, in charge of devising plans and strategies."
Ye Ge shuddered when she was slapped.
Oh no! My master patted my head!
Is this the procedure for determining the fatness or leanness of pigs before raising them?!
I need to work harder to demonstrate my value!
"Since we have a new map, let's have a team-building event!"
Lin Zhou waved his hand and spoke in a loud voice.
"This is the first time Xiaoqiongshan has mobilized its entire force. Destination: Sunset Valley!"
Xiao Fan and Shi Yi came running when they heard the noise, their faces filled with excitement.
The servants Li Youde and Zhang Youcai stayed behind to guard the house, while the four of them prepared to set off.
Just then, a figure, both aloof and exuding a burning heat, drifted over.
It's Shen Han.
She wasn't wearing her dashing Enforcement Hall uniform today; instead, she wore a dark blue, tight-fitting martial arts outfit.
The fabric of the clothes was of excellent quality, clinging tightly to her shapely body and perfectly outlining her stunning curves.
Especially her long, shapely legs, which were wrapped up perfectly, were absolutely breathtaking.
Xiao Fan, who is usually quite calm, blushed after just one glance and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look again.
"Ahem." Shen Han cleared her throat, holding the now-fat iron-clad pig in her arms, trying her best to maintain the demeanor of an ice queen.
"I received intelligence that demonic sorcerers were lurking near Sunset Valley. As the head of the Enforcement Hall, I was conducting a routine patrol."
Lin Zhou glanced at her sideways, knowing exactly what was going on in his mind.
Patrol my ass!
You're just looking for an excuse to go on a company-funded trip with me!
"Alright, since Senior Sister Shen is so responsible, let's go together. It'll be good to have someone to look after us on the way."
A blush instantly rose to Shen Han's cheeks, and steam began to puff out from the top of his head again.
"Who...who needs your help! I'm on official business!"
Before departure, Linzhou began distributing team-building uniforms.
He first handed Xiao Fan a bulging storage bag.
"Eldest disciple, you are our source of damage and our logistics support. This place is full of pills, so don't be stingy with them."
Then, he took out a set of heavy black armor and handed it to Shi Yi.
"Second apprentice, you're the tank. Put this on and just stand there and fight."
Finally, Lin Zhou magically produced a brand-new entrenching tool and stuffed it into Ye Ge's mouth.
"Third apprentice, you are the strategist, responsible for scouting and digging traps, this suits you."
Ye Ge stared blankly at the shovel in her hand.
No, it's a team building activity, why did you give me a shovel?
Am I supposed to dig a hole for myself and lie down in it?!
The group boarded the fastest flying boat of the Lingxiao Sect and flew towards Sunset Valley in the Eastern Xuan Region.
On the way, in order to demonstrate his value as a strategist, Ye Ge began to give everyone a rambling explanation of the horrors of Sunset Valley.
"Master, Senior Brother, Hall Master Shen, you are unaware that Sunset Valley is an ancient forbidden land!"
"In my past life, I heard that there was a killing formation at every step and a trap every three steps, and a ten-thousand-year-old corpse king slumbered at the bottom of the valley, whose breath could poison even a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Ye Ge's vivid description left Xiao Fan and Shi Yi stunned, and even Shen Han showed a serious expression.
Only Linzhou listened with great interest while munching on sunflower seeds.
This kid is a waste not to be a storyteller.
Several hours later, the flying boat arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Valley.
However, the scene before them left everyone stunned.
Where's the promised Jedi? Where's the promised Corpse King?
At the entrance to the valley, the lights were bright and the noise was deafening, making it a bustling night market for independent cultivators!
