Chapter 189: Chapter 86 Welcome to My Team [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

"You want to team up with me?" Chu Liang asked quizzically, "Do you have such bad relations with the people on Jade Sword Peak?"

Jade Sword Peak has about a hundred disciples. Given Lin Bei’s personality, he shouldn’t be lacking friends. It’s unreasonable that he would stoop so low as to seek teammates on Silver Sword Peak, isn’t it?

"Hey, hey!" Lin Bei laughed, "Our relationship is the best, isn’t it?"

"Tell the truth." Chu Liang said.

"Ah, don’t mention it..." Lin Bei sighed, "Everyone on our peak knows that we have a good relationship. If I want to team up with someone, they all worry that I’m Silver Sword Peak’s mole."

"..."

So, it was because of himself?

Chu Liang thought about it and found it made sense.

After all, the Mountain God Festival isn’t like the usual tasks. It’s a competition among disciples from all peaks and is already considered a prelude to the Shu Mountain Peak Conference.

During the treasure hunt in the Mountain God Festival, there will be a lot of exploration and deciphering activities, making information highly crucial. Things like sending moles to other teams to spy or planting moles beforehand happen in each Festival.

Especially since Jade Sword Peak and Silver Sword Peak are long-standing rivals, and Lin Bei is quite a gossip. In case he accidentally leaks any information causing the team to fail, it would be disastrous.

"Not just related to your Silver Sword Peak, currently, the teams on our peak are paranoid about spies. Everyone is worried about encountering spies from other teams when forming a team. Trust among people is non-existent." Lin Bei said.

"The people of Jade Sword Peak aren’t united." Chu Liang sighed.

"In terms of unity, we are indeed far behind your Silver Sword Peak." Lin Bei admitted.

"Actually, their worry about you is unnecessary. If they hadn’t kicked you out, I wouldn’t even have a second teammate, let alone five." Chu Liang shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I never intended to participate in the Mountain God Festival in the first place."

"How can you not participate in such a fun event?" Lin Bei quickly said, "Also, the rewards for the winners of the Mountain God Festival have always been abundant. It’s either a lot of Sword Coins or a Magic Artifact for each person, which are quite rare here in Shu Mountain."

"Well..." Upon hearing about the high rewards, Chu Liang was immediately intrigued.

"Since you’ve returned from Immortal’s Lake, you should be prepared for Core Formation, right?" Lin Bei suddenly asked.

"I’ve already formed my core." Chu Liang answered.

"Oh." Hearing that he had become a Golden Core Realm cultivator, Lin Bei didn’t seem surprised, and asked further, "What kind of Core did you form?"

"A Top Grade Golden Core." Chu Liang responded.

"Oh." Hearing that it was a Top Grade Golden Core, Lin Bei wasn’t surprised either.

This made Chu Liang a bit surprised. He laughed and said, "You seem rather calm this time."

"My heart is already numb. You can’t shock me anymore." Lin Bei shook his head.

After experiencing shock after shock, he had become immune to Chu Liang’s astonishing achievements.

"Really?" Chu Liang asked, "What if I formed two Top Grade Golden Cores?"

"What?" Lin Bei gaped, his composure from before vanished, "Really?"

"Of course not." Chu Liang chuckled, "How can anyone in this world have two Cores?"

"Phew..." Lin Bei breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me. I almost thought it was true."

Although it sounded unbelievable, if it had happened to Chu Liang, he would indeed question whether it was true.

Could it be possible that someone in the world actually has two Cores?

"Alright, let’s get on with it." Chu Liang switched topics, "Including you, we only have two people. That’s not enough to form a team."

Shu Mountain probably hopes that the Mountain God Festival can help cultivate team skills among the disciples. If the team doesn’t have enough members, they won’t be allowed to register. Unless all the other disciples have found their teams and only a few are left behind due to special circumstances.

He didn’t have many acquaintances on the mountain.

"What’s there to worry about, none of the peaks have an exact number of people. In the end, there will definitely be some leftover people whom nobody wants." Lin Bei laughed, "Our team has your wisdom and bravery, plus me. We have both brains and brawn. As for the rest, won’t we find several fools to make up the numbers?"

Okay.

So, he was expected to single-handedly embody both brains and brawn, while the remaining four would cheer him on?

Chu Liang laughed in disbelief, asking, "So where do we find three fools to join our team..."

Before he finished speaking.

A greeting was heard from outside, "Big Brother! Are you there?"

...

The story starts from just now.

In the morning at Yunyao Peak, Shang Ziliang and his henchmen A and B were eating breakfast.

"Boss, today is the day of the Mountain God Festival’s team formation, don’t we have to go sign up?" Henchman A asked.

"I was under house arrest for this period of time, almost missed it." Shang Ziliang said: "Have you guys recruited anyone?"

"Mm." Henchman B grunted in response, and kept eating in silence.

"I’ve already contacted two people." Henchman A said, "Senior Brother Qian at the Golden Core Realm and Senior Brother Wang at the peak of the Divine Consciousness Realm, are the strongest two we could find from Yunyao Peak."

"Very good." Shang Ziliang praised: "Together with us three, we are the strongest team of Yunyao Peak, let’s take this chance to collide with the other peaks!"

"Mm." Henchman B responded with a grunt, and then continued eating.

Henchman A felt worried and said, "But I heard that Biluo Peak has formed an all Golden Core team, led by Senior Sister Jiang. It seems that Senior Brother Xu’s team from Jade Sword Peak is also mainly Golden Cores. Are we any match for them?"

"This..." Shang Ziliang pondered, then said: "Anyway, the Mountain God Festival is not purely about cultivation competition, it’s more about wisdom. In this regard, we are absolutely not falling behind!"

"Mm." Henchman B responded with a grunt, then continued eating.

"Eh?" Henchman A suddenly said, "Didn’t we hear that Chu Liang..."

"What Chu Liang, is that how you should address him?" Shang Ziliang suddenly gave him a stern look.

"Oh, we heard that Big Brother has successfully formed a Top Grade Golden Core! He might be in the Golden Core realm now." Henchman A said, "He is alone in Silver Sword Peak, why not invite him to join our Yunyao Peak’s team?"

"Good idea!" Shang Ziliang nodded heavily, and said, "With his support, we could potentially contend with Biluo Peak and Jade Sword Peak!"

"Mm." Henchman B grunted in agreement, then continued eating.

Henchman A lowered his voice and whispered, "Boss, I’ve always wanted to ask you, do you genuinely want to acknowledge him as the boss, or just a delaying tactic..."

"Of course I’m sincere!" Shang Ziliang retorted: "After all the times I schemed against him, he even saved my life! I must compensate him in some way."

"And..." Shang Ziliang’s eyes flickered with wisdom, "do you still remember how long it took for him to advance from the early stage of the Divine Consciousness Realm to the Golden Core? Now he’s even formed a Top Grade Golden Core, I believe he’s definitely on par with Xu Ziyang and Jiang Yuebai, the rising geniuses of this generation! It was so foolish of me to think about dealing with him. It’s clear that he will inevitably have a seat in the high positions of Shu Mountain in the future!"

"Mm." Henchman B grunted in agreement, and then continued eating.

"What a great idea!" Henchman A praised, "Big Brother has already shown promising potential, and yet not many people have noticed this. If we follow him now, when he rises to power, we can take credit for... Merit From Following the Dragon!"

"Heh-heh." Shang Ziliang urged, "Hurry up and eat, after we finish, let’s go to Silver Sword Peak to recruit."

"Mm." Henchman B wiped his mouth and responded.

"Eat what?" Henchman A suddenly asked blankly.

"Eat food." Shang Ziliang answered curiously.

"Where’s the food?" Henchman A looked puzzled.

Shang Ziliang looked down at the table, only to see four or five clean ceramic plates reflecting like mirrors on the table. There was no food on them at all.

"Hey, this is strange." He exclaimed in surprise: "Where’s the food?"

Henchman B too scratched his head. "Could there have been a thief?"

...

Unable to find something to eat, Shang Ziliang led the two henchmen out, and rode the wind to Silver Sword Peak.

As Chu Liang heard the calling outside, he came out of his residence, only to see these three running over.

"What’s the matter?" he asked.

"Big Brother!" Shang Ziliang came forward and said, "We came to see you, regarding the team formation for the Mountain God Festival."

"Eh?" Chu Liang raised his eyes, and it was indeed a coincidence, smiling he asked: "Do you guys want to join with me?"

"Yes." Shang Ziliang said.

"That’s great." Chu Liang grabbed his hands: "Welcome to join my team."
