"Our senior and junior brothers co from the Tyrant Blade Sect. My two Immortal Palaces are of the ordinary kind, but my senior brother has an extraordinary Immortal Palace and an ordinary one. You need two people, and we happen to be two."
The woman across the way, with a heroic bearing, heard this and imdiately showed a look of happiness on her face. She then looked at Cao Zhen and said, "Daoist Green Lotus..."
"It’s fine, I understand, I understand."
What’s there to say, they are two people and stronger, who wouldn’t choose them?
Anyway, with so many people here, he couldn’t believe he wouldn’t find a suitable team.
Cao Zhen continued walking into the distance.
But slowly, he realized, it was really hard to form a team.
Either he couldn’t et others’ requirents, or they needed more people, and he didn’t know how long he would have to wait.
As he was getting annoyed, three familiar figures appeared in his view, and the other party discovered him at the sa ti.
"Sword Lord Qing Lian?"
"Oh? Daoist Guang Yu, Daoist Hong Xi, and Daoist Ghostfire." Cao Zhen looked at them with so surprise and said, "Didn’t you leave Sun Detritus City back then?"
He rembered them saying they were going to team up and go out at that ti.
Demonic Lord Guang Yu said naturally, "We returned to the city two years ago, took so rest, prepared to go out exploring again, but our team still lacks a few people. It’s been seven days, and we still lack two."
As he said this, he looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Daoist Green Lotus, are you also preparing to go out exploring?"
"Yes." Cao Zhen showed a pained expression and said, "Unfortunately, I only have one extraordinary Immortal Palace, and I haven’t found a suitable team yet."
"Oh? Daoist Green Lotus has transford his Immortal Palace into an extraordinary one? Truly sothing to celebrate." Demonic Lord Guang Yu praised, then showed a look of pity and said, "But it’s a pity, we require soone skilled in formations or the Painting Way, otherwise we could have you join us."
"Oh? You are looking for people skilled in formations and Painting Way?" Cao Zhen’s heart moved, and he asked, "What cultivation realm are you requiring?"
Demonic Lord Guang Yu said helplessly, "Both formation experts and those skilled in the Painting Way are hard to find, let alone requiring a cultivation realm; as long as they are in the True Immortal Realm, we welco them. But even so, we haven’t found suitable candidates yet."
"Any cultivation realm will do?" Cao Zhen imdiately felt joy in his heart. Without the requirent for Immortal Palaces, this team was suitable. The only problem was, the team lacked two people; with himself, he might still need to wait.
But Demonic Lord Guang Yu’s team was already the one that could accept him and lacked the least number of people.
Other teams would require at least two more people even with him.
This was already his best choice.
"In that case, how about I join your team?" Cao Zhen decided to join this team first and discuss later. Waiting a few days was fine, as long as the team didn’t disband in the end.
"Daoist Green Lotus, you want to join us?" Demonic Lord Guang Yu didn’t speak, but the Ghost Fire Devil Sovereign beside him looked at Cao Zhen with a peculiar expression and said, "Daoist, you’re skilled in swordsmanship, and you don’t seem to be a disciple of the Extre Formation Sect, skilled in formations. We said ’skilled in formations,’ not ’well-versed in formations’... The place we’re going requires a high level of formation knowledge."
"I know, but I really am skilled in formations. Actually, I almost entered the Dao through formations back then. My skill in Sword Dao is also related to formations." Hearing the doubts, Cao Zhen began to bluff, "Many of my swordsmanship techniques derive from the path of formations."
"Daoist Green Lotus," spoke Hong Xi, seemingly the leader among the three and appeared as such in the team. "We are old acquaintances, it’s not that we don’t trust you. But this matter is of great importance, concerning the safety of our entire team, so if you are skilled in formations, we need to test you a bit. I wonder if you mind?"
"Of course, how do you intend to test?" Cao Zhen looked around and asked, "Is it a discussion or...?"
Demonic Lord Xi Hong looked at the female cultivator in the team besides Ghost Fire Devil Sovereign, "Daoist Fortune Seeker?"
The Treasure Immortal heard and nodded slightly, taking out a Formation Map from the Heaven and Earth Ring, "I have a Formation Map here, as long as Daoist Green Lotus can crack the formation within two hours, it counts as passing the assessnt."
"Alright, let’s begin then." Cao Zhen didn’t mind, just a Formation Map, it wasn’t hard to decipher.
The Treasure Immortal heard this and did not use the Immortal Palace, only operating immortal energy to unfold the Formation Map.
Recruiting teammates on the battlefield can’t just rely on what others say; it’s about probing, hence sparring is common, there’s nothing strange about using Formation Maps for assessnt here.
The Formation Map’s range wasn’t large, only wrapping around Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen imdiately felt as if he had fallen onto an island, surrounded by towering trees and bizarre stones...
Clearly, this was a trapping Formation Map, not a slaughtering one. This Formation Map...
At first glance, Cao Zhen saw flaws everywhere in this Formation Map. Forget two hours, since it was just to test his formation path, without using immortal energy, if he couldn’t break it within three seconds, it would be disrespectful to Fairy QiongXiao.
However, if he really broke it in three seconds, it would cause a stir, better to keep a low profile.
Cao Zhen pretended to wander around the formation.
Outside the formation, Demonic Lord Guang Yu eagerly looked at the Treasure Immortal who had just released the Formation Map and asked, "Daoist Fortune Seeker, how about it, any hope?"
All around, people were also looking over with anticipation. After all, cultivators skilled in formations rarely take risks and go outside, even if they do, they mostly have fixed teams. Everyone exploring needs experts skilled in formations, so they said that skill in formations was enough, without specific cultivation realm requirents.
