"Oh? What do you have to say, fellow daoist? " Hearing the old Daoist's words, Lin An's spirit rose as he straightened his back. Lin An felt refreshed when he was asked for help by a Mid Rank Daoist, who was much stronger than him. He raised his eyebrows and gave off a proud air.
The old Daoist thought for a moment, then said slowly, "A few days ago, a mortal army of our city was trapped in a valley near the border. The King's City Lord wanted to send troops to rescue them, but he was afraid that the Immortal Master of the enemy would intervene."
The old Daoist stroked his beard and said, "This Penniless Priest is worried that I won't stay in this city and allow the petty villains to take advantage of the situation. At that time, this Penniless Priest will blame the Cloud Returning Temple and this Penniless Priest won't be able to take the blame. But if I do not go, I am also worried that the mortals in the city might lose their confidence in Gui Yun Sect. "
With that, the old Daoist stared at Lin An and said, "Fellow cultivator's appearance has solved my dilemma."
"Therefore, I would like to request fellow daoists to step forward and take command. Not only will it guarantee the safety of the Wang Family City, it can also represent the Gui Yun Sect and show mercy to these mortals." It represented the Gui Yun Sect!
Old man Wang quietly handed a tall hat to Lin An. Lin An's heart was filled with pleasure.
This was the representation of the Gui Yun Sect!
Lin An's mind was filled with those senior brothers and sisters who could represent the higher levels of the mortal body of Gui Yun Sect.
How admirable those tall and imposing figures were!
Lin An could not hide his joy.
Such a great mission,
So many of the people in the Wang Family City were looking forward to it,
Even if he didn't want to, he had to!
Chu Xiong looked at Lin An's smiling face and sized him up.
"Don't be careless, there might be danger." Chu Xiong transmitted these words into his mind.
If an ordinary herb picking could almost cost one's life, then what about helping them out?!
It was a dangerous activity.
What Chu Xiong didn't know was that in the battle for the sect, although it was a competition on the surface, it was a contest on the essence side. At the end of the day, the commoners in the Wang Family City were all believers of the Gui Yun Sect.
Lin An and the other low-level disciples didn't know why the followers were so important, but he knew that the monastery leader valued them greatly.
This was because the first generation Monastery had issued a death order since the establishment of the Gui Yun Sect.
Earth could be lost, but worshippers could not!
Lin An was aware of how formidable the other party was, and he was even more aware of the 'opportunity' involved!
From Lin An's point of view, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. With such a simple watch, it was very likely that he, a mere mortal disciple, would receive a great deal of credit.
After all, this represented a confrontation between the Guiyun Temple and Huang Tianliang.
Seeing such a huge opportunity, Lin An would never be merciful. He was determined to take this heavy burden.
Chu Xiong's words, a black bear's words, how could he possibly stop Lin An.
Although he was happy, Lin An was finding it difficult. "Fellow Taoist sure has a good plan. This Penniless Priest took on this' bitter 'job."
The old Daoist looked overjoyed, but then he smiled awkwardly. He thought of something and slapped the storage pouch on his waist, causing a small red stone to appear in his hand.
Chu Xiong looked at the red rock and blinked his eyes. The spirit energy fluctuation on the rock was very special and there was a scorching feeling coming from it.
"Fellow Daoist, this is?" Lin An was slightly excited.
"Fellow Daoist, your spiritual energy is very hot. You should be training in a fire-attribute cultivation technique. Therefore, I have a piece of lava stone with me that I'm giving to you as a reward for this trip." As the old Daoist spoke, his eyes couldn't help but continue staring at the lava stone, as if it was difficult to part with it.
"Lava Stone!" Lin An blurted out. He took both his hands in front of him, looking very excited. However, he opened his mouth and then retracted his hands.
"How can that be? It's fine for fellow daoist to keep it for your own use. The reason I'm going to save them is also for the Gui Yun Sect." Lin An looked conflicted as he replied incorrectly.
Lava rocks were a type of refining material. When refining a magic tool, a little of it could be put into it and it would greatly increase the power of the fire type Tao technique.
For a low-level disciple like Lin An, this was a dream come true. No, it was a dream come true.
This kind of material was only possible to obtain by high-level Daoists.
"This old man is already old, so of course I won't be able to use such a treasure. I'm looking at fellow Daoist's Immortal Foundation Immortal Bone. In the future, I'll definitely be able to expand the treasure. My desire to gift it isn't in vain." Old Daoist Wang's eyes lit up.
Chu Xiong slightly frowned. Ever since he left the Gui Yun Sect, Lin An seemed to have become a god overnight.
People praise you in front of others ..
Was he really that outstanding?
Could it be that there was something special about him that he couldn't tell?
Did he really have immortal roots and immortal bones?
Chu Xiong looked at Lin An again, it was still the same silly and excited guy.
Chu Xiong shook his head, feeling quite puzzled. However, Lin An did not try to shirk his doubts and instead happily kept the Lava Stone.
After all, it was really difficult for him to 'decline' the old Daoist's good intentions.
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry. This Penniless Priest will definitely save them." Lin An forcefully guaranteed while bowing.
Clear Spring Valley was located at the border between the Qing Province and the Qing Province!
There is a natural spring in the valley, the water level is unchanged, year round does not dry, hence the name.
"Kill!" "Kill!" Charge! "
"Quickly retreat!"
"Quickly retreat!"
"Kill!"
As the shouts outside the tent became quieter and quieter, a young soldier wearing a green cloth robe and leather coat lifted up the canvas of the tent and walked in excitedly.
"Lord, Lord, the enemy retreated again!"
Two days later, Lin An and Chu Xiong arrived at the mountain outside of the Pure Spring Valley.
"According to what Old Daoist Wang said, the trapped army is in this valley." Lin An stood on a hillside with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.
The terrain here was two mountains and one valley, and the mouth of the valley was a flat area. However, there was already an army stationed on the flat area. They were waving their flags with the words "and" embroidered on them!
"It really is the army of the Wanzhou Region!" Lin An said indifferently.
Chu Xiong sized up the camp, the tent was next to the tent, outside people were shouting and shouting, it was quite spectacular. Counting the number of soldiers, the army of the State of Wanzhou seemed to number around two thousand.
"Immortal Master, please give the order!" A middle-aged man with a helmet and armor cupped his hands behind Lin An's back as he spoke with a look of admiration.
Chu Xiong turned his head to look, the army sent out by the Wang Family City was about 1000 soldiers, it was much less than the enemies stationed in front. Could it be that he wanted to win by less?
Thus, he carefully sized up the middle-aged man. His appearance was extremely ordinary, and it was hard to tell that he had such great ability.
"After all, I'm not the leader of the army. I might have made a mistake." Chu Xiong mocked himself.
"Wang Ping, you will be in command of the battle. I am only in charge of suppressing the battle. Rest assured, go ahead." Lin An waved his hand. The great battle was imminent, yet he was surprisingly indifferent.
Chu Xiong clicked his tongue in wonder. The Lin An in his memory was not like this. Every time he fought, he would tremble in fear. How could he be so calm on this kind of battlefield!
"Understood." Wang Ping cupped his hands and said.
He retreated and walked towards the army behind him.
"His name is Wang Ping, is he related to old Taoist Wang in any way?" Chu Xiong's eyes flashed.
"Wang Ping is Old Daoist Wang's grandson." "Yes, master," Lin An replied indifferently. However .. since he doesn't have a 'Dao-Path', he can't train in it. "
Before he left, Old Daoist Wang specifically warned Lin An to take good care of his grandson, Wang Ping. No wonder Old Daoist Wang gave him such a great reward. He had already thought of making him his grandson's bodyguard.
The corners of Lin An's mouth curled up. Accepting money and getting into trouble with others. Besides, even if Old Daoist Wang didn't give him the lava stones, he would still come. So, on the whole, it was worth it.
After all, they were only there to watch mortals fight. They were much safer here than in the outside world.
"Dao karma?" Chu Xiong questioned.
"Only those who can gain enlightenment of spiritual energy will be able to become Daoists, and only one genius will be able to do so within 10,000 kilometers. This is Dao karma! " Lin An arrogantly said as he raised his head.
"So it was this difficult to become a Taoist!" Chu Xiong blinked his eyes, somewhat surprised. It did not take him much effort to go from a normal wild beast to spiritual energy ..
is to do gymnastics every day...
After a short while, over a thousand troops had silently moved closer, eyeing the enemy troops that were far away at the entrance of the valley.
"Awesome!" Chu Xiong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Even though there were over a thousand people in the army, there was not the slightest sound. This was completely out of Chu Xiong's expectations.
"Hehe, what's wrong with that?" Lin An raised his head slightly with a complacent look on his face, "Even if there are ten times more people, as long as I am present, I will still act like this."
"You were there?" Chu Xiong looked at Lin An in confusion. This was the first time he had seen a war between mortals. He did not know if Lin An was on the battlefield, and what it meant to these mortals.
"Take a good look." The corners of Lin An's mouth curled up, his entire body brimming with pride.
Chu Xiong slightly squinted his eyes, carefully observing everything on the battlefield. He wanted to see what kind of ability Lin An had. Would he be able to win this battle?
Wang Ping, who was hiding behind a tree, beckoned to the soldiers behind him. Like the tide, thousands of soldiers quickly and silently rushed towards the valley's valley entrance.
A great battle between mortals was about to begin!
