Chapter 64 Starting Again

After hearing the news, Song Qingming and the cultivators on the scene showed no surprise.

Lu Yunfei injured his meridians this time. He would not be able to recover from this injury for three to five years. Feiyun Guard would definitely send a new cultivator to take his place.

As the direct disciple of Liu Xingfeng, one of the three elders of Feiyun Guard, Xu Ziyan has cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining. With her strength, she is definitely more than enough to take over Lu Yunfei's position.

Then Xu Ziyan introduced each other to everyone. After seeing Xu Ziyan, the senior sister of the sect, several Xiaoyao Sect disciples who had just joined the 11th Guard changed their arrogant attitudes in front of Song Qingming and others. They were more serious and smiled more.

Although Xu Ziyan and Song Qingming and others had met several times before, they were under the pressure of the demon cultivator Yang Wuqi at that time. After returning to the camp, they were busy destroying the seized demon cultivator materials and had no time to get to know each other.

Now that Xu Ziyan has become the captain of the 11th Guard, it is inevitable that she needs to get to know everyone again. Fortunately, although she is also a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, she is naturally friendly, unlike those Xiaoyao Sect disciples who think they are superior, and she quickly won the recognition of everyone.

Song Qingming and other casual cultivators naturally have a better impression of Xu Ziyan because they were saved by her. Those Xiaoyao Sect disciples are also lower in cultivation than her and respect her very much.

After some introductions, Xu Ziyan gradually became familiar with everyone, and then she also found an opportunity to announce the new mission issued by Feiyun Guard.

Their 11th Guard will set off again soon, and the destination of this mission is another unexplored location in the Floating Cloud Mountains.

A few days later, Qingming followed the new 11th Guard of Feiyun Guard and came to the Floating Cloud Mountains again, but the location of this mission was slightly closer to Guiyunfang. According to everyone's walking speed, it would take at most seven or eight days to reach the new camp.

When each team of Feiyun Guards performs a mission, they need the elders of Feiyun Guards directly under them to explore the second-level monsters in the area first, and then assign the specific areas to each team of Feiyun Guards.

Then they are notified through the message talisman to go to the divided area and explore the information of other monsters in the area in detail.

A few days after entering the Fuyun Mountains, Song Qingming and others came to a small river about five or six feet wide. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west and it was getting late, Xu Ziyan asked everyone to camp here tonight and rest, and then continue on the road after dawn the next day.

After using magic power to rush for a day, everyone was a little tired. After nightfall, everyone made a fire and cooked some spiritual rice. After replenishing their magic power, they set up several temporary tents and began to meditate and rest.

Song Qingming and Jia Sixing and other familiar monks of the original eleven guards rested together in a tent.

After meditating until the second half of the night, Song Qingming stood up and walked out of the tent. In order to prevent a sudden attack by monsters, Xu Ziyan arranged for everyone to take turns to stand guard outside the camp at night.

It was his turn to stand guard at this time, and Song Qingming went to the campfire in front of the tent to replace Wang Shouyun who was on duty.

After arriving, he found that in addition to Wang Shouyun, there was also a red figure sitting by the fire. Seeing Xu Ziyan here, Song Qingming hurriedly bowed and greeted her.

Wang Shouyun saw Song Qingming coming to replace him, and bowed his head and bowed to Xu Ziyan with a smile.

"Senior Sister Xu, I'll go back first."

Xu Ziyan stood up and nodded. Wang Shouyun turned his head and looked at Song Qingming, and then left quickly.

Wang Shouyun was a cultivator of the Xiaoyao Sect who had just joined the Eleven Guards. He had never been very interested in Song Qingming and other cultivators who were from the casual cultivation background. Song Qingming had long been accustomed to this. He did not speak, but just nodded politely.

After Wang Shouyun left, Song Qingming walked to the fire and sat down generously. With a beautiful fairy helping him to keep watch, Song Qingming felt much more comfortable.

"Wang Junior Brother and his friends have been practicing in the sect since they were young. They rarely come out to practice. They are a little arrogant. I hope that Fellow Daoist Song will not be offended."

Xu Ziyan sat cross-legged by the fire, flashing clear eyes, and spoke to Song Qingming apologetically.

After hearing Xu Ziyan's words, Song Qingming smiled and waved his hand and said, "Captain, you are polite. We are casual cultivators of low origin and have long been accustomed to this."

"I heard from Junior Sister Gao that Fellow Daoist Song is also from Qinghe County and has met her in Qinghefang. Fellow Daoist should not be a casual cultivator." Xu Ziyan blinked and said with some noncommittal.

Seeing that Xu Ziyan seemed to have known that he knew Gao Yuyao, Song Qingming suddenly showed a trace of surprise, and replied awkwardly: "I am indeed not a casual cultivator, I am from the Song family in Funiushan, Qinghe County, and I came to Guiyunfang this time to leave the family to gain experience."

This Gao Yuyao is really strange. When she came to find Song Qingming in the camp a month ago, she specifically told Song Qingming not to let outsiders know that they knew each other before. How come she told Xu Ziyan about this in the blink of an eye? Thinking of this, Song Qingming was also very puzzled.

"That night, when Senior Sister Gao went to look for you, she happened to meet me on the way back. I curiously asked a few questions, and she told me about her acquaintance with you, but she didn't say much. I am still very curious about the specific relationship between you two." Seeing that Song Qingming looked a little strange, Xu Ziyan couldn't help but chuckle and explained.

"Captain, don't misunderstand. I knew Fairy Gao before, but we exchanged a few spiritual objects in the market a few years ago. At that time, I didn't know she was a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect. I was also very surprised to see her when I fought with the demon cultivators that day." Song Qingming heard Xu Ziyan's explanation, and then he roughly understood the whole story. He also chose to tell Xu Ziyan the truth directly.

He did not tell Xu Ziyan the specific spiritual objects he exchanged with Gao Yuyao, which was considered to be not violating his promise to Gao Yuyao.

"Oh, so that's what happened. I see that Brother Song is so young, but his cultivation has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. His mana is much stronger than that of Brother Wang and the others. I wonder what kind of technique he is practicing."

"Hehe, the technique I am practicing is the Kunyuan Jue passed down in my family. There is nothing special about it. But Fairy Gao has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. I guess it won't be long before I call you senior."

Faced with Xu Ziyan's somewhat curious questioning, Song Qingming really didn't dare to answer too much, so he could only carefully change the subject.

"Although I have cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining, my mana has not yet been polished to the peak of Qi Refining, and I am still a little short of the foundation building. Besides, it is not so easy to build a foundation. There are many Qi Refining disciples in the sect, and there are no shortage of talented disciples with outstanding spiritual roots every year. But not everyone has the opportunity to exchange for the foundation building pill. My spiritual root aptitude is only average, and even Sister Gao has better spiritual roots than me." Xu Ziyan sighed and shook her head and said.

"Captain, as Elder Liu's direct disciple, Elder Liu will not ignore your path, I think when the captain builds his foundation, Elder Liu will definitely speak for you."

"Then I'll take advantage of your good words." Xu Ziyan suddenly smiled at him, and Song Qingming was stunned.
