Chapter 1055: The Task at Xuanling Pass

When Ji Qingzhu said this, her sister Ji Hongzhuang immediately blushed with a red face.

She clenched her fair fists, feeling shy, "Sister, how can you think like that?"

Ji Qingzhu smiled charmingly and suddenly turned her head to look at her, "Hongzhuang, are you sure you have no feelings for this Qin Qi at all? If you don’t have any feelings for him, then sister will have to find you another match."

Upon hearing this, Ji Hongzhuang pouted, but inside, she had mixed feelings.

She shyly lowered her head, "If I have to say, it’s not that I have no feelings for him at all. After all, when I was in despair that day, it was he who stood up alone to kill an elite demon!"

"The sight of his back that day is still vivid in my memory. Moreover, in terms of cultivation and talent, even among our peers, he is outstanding!"

"Honestly, marrying him doesn’t seem inappropriate. But, but the time is too short!"

Ji Qingzhu listened, smiled charmingly, "Since you don’t find it inappropriate, then leave it to your sister to handle!"

"If you can marry him, then it would thoroughly tie this guy tightly to our team twelve."

Upon hearing this, Ji Hongzhuang’s cheeks were as red as apples, "Sister, let me think about it, alright..."

Ji Qingzhu said with a charming smile, "It’s okay, no rush!"

Suddenly curious, Ji Hongzhuang said, "But sister, even if I truly repay with my life, it’s only to repay his kindness. What about you? Surely we both can’t repay him with our lives, that would be too cheap for him!"

Ji Qingzhu’s body trembled, "I just said for you to marry him, who said I would also marry!"

Ji Hongzhuang pouted, crossing her arms with a light hum, "Sister, you are so bad. To repay kindness, dragging your own sister out to repay, isn’t that selling me!"

Ji Qingzhu naturally felt a little embarrassed but still said, "No... it’s nothing like that, your sister didn’t think of it that way!"

...

Meanwhile, on Qin Qi’s end, he once again took out the page obtained from the Ming Family, and began researching it using the Profound Pure Spirit Eye.

Over the past few days, he had taken the time to study this mysterious page!

Unfortunately, each time the Profound Pure Spirit Eye looked at it, it couldn’t fully penetrate. Even after maximizing the power of the Profound Pure Spirit Eye, all that could be seen was still vague.

Qin Qi thought silently, "In the end, it’s because the cultivation of the Profound Pure Spirit Eye is not yet proficient. However, further cultivating the Profound Pure Spirit Eye requires even harsher conditions!"

The initial cultivation of the Profound Pure Spirit Eye must be in an extremely cold environment.

Back then, it was a fortunate coincidence, thanks to the environment of the Wan Family ice cave, that he managed to cultivate it successfully.

But the cultivation of the Profound Pure Spirit Eye afterwards has always been stagnant, without any progress.

Ultimately, it’s because such extremely cold environments are just too hard to find.

"There are some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can substitute for the extremely cold environment, but each of these treasures with attributes is priceless. Some are even unavailable in the market!"

Qin Qi muttered to himself and suddenly thought of something, "Right, the Nine Nether Cold Crystal..."

Back in Feiliu City, the Nine Nether Cold Crystal he encountered.

Back then, the progress was particularly slow even with the use of Supreme Yang True Flame to burn it.

For the so-called extremely cold materials, isn’t the Nine Nether Cold Crystal the best? If he could refine a part of it, it would definitely have an excellent effect on his cultivation of the Profound Pure Spirit Eye.

"It’s just a pity that I have finally reached the highest battlefield, so it’s naturally impossible to risk going to Feiliu City now!"

Qin Qi stroked his chin, "If only there was a way to contact Duan Changfeng, and have him bring the Nine Nether Cold Crystal to find me!"

Thinking to himself, Qin Qi tried several methods again.

Unfortunately, this page is exceptionally sturdy.

Neither water can soak it, nor can fire burn it.

All methods have failed to penetrate its mysteries, only increasing Qin Qi’s endless interest in the content within the page.

In this way, he continued to cultivate in the mansion for several more days!

Suddenly, a group of people arrived outside the mansion of team twelve.

Ji Qingzhu and Ji Hongzhuang sensed the visitors, their expressions turned solemn, and they quickly went to greet them.

Only to see the arriving group, about a dozen people, led by an elderly man, holding a cane, with a bent back.

But his cultivation is not to be underestimated, as it has reached the Third Layer of the Core Formation Stage.

"Captain Gao, what is the purpose of your team nineteen visiting us team twelve this time?" Ji Qingzhu asked in confusion.

Gao Yang opened his cracked lips, smiled, "Ji girl, I won’t waste words. The task just assigned from above is carried out by our team nineteen, and we are here to draw one person from each team to assist!"

"Task assigned from above? What task? What is the difficulty level of the task?" Ji Qingzhu curiously inquired.

Gao Yang responded bluntly, "Earth Level, Initial Grade!"

"What!"

When she heard this, Ji Hongzhuang’s eyes widened, "Captain Gao, you’re not joking with us, right? An Earth Level Initial Grade task? How could it fall into our hands? These tasks are usually undertaken by those elite Core Formation Stage cultivators!"

"Upon completion, the battle merits are as much as five thousand points per person! But most importantly, in our Yellow Heaven City’s teams, most Core Formation cultivators are captains. Majority are still only in the Foundation Establishment Stage."

Gao Yang snorted, "If it weren’t for the tight battle situation at the front, how could such a task fall onto us? But don’t worry, since the task was entrusted to us, it means we’re still capable of undertaking it."

Ji Qingzhu, with her hands behind her back, said, "Then can I trouble Captain Gao to reveal the contents of the task?"

Gao Yang lazily replied, "Hold Xuanling Pass!"

"Xuanling Pass? The Xuanling Pass with twelve forks?" Ji Qingzhu asked in confusion.

"That’s right, but Miss Ji doesn’t have to worry, we naturally won’t be defending all twelve forks. We only need to be responsible for one of the forks!"

Gao Yang slowly explained, "After all, those Nascent Soul Stage experts plan to organize a large-scale counter-offensive on the Taiyao Prairie!"

"And the twelve forks of Xuanling Pass are very close to the demon’s other side area. If we don’t hold this pass, if we let too many demons out, not to mention counter-offense, our human cultivators could easily be encircled by these demons!"

"Therefore, the task of holding this pass is classified as Earth Level Initial Grade!"

Ji Qingzhu took a deep breath, "I didn’t expect that the upper ranks are planning a large-scale counter-offensive. The outcome of this battle might decide if we humans could win overall!"
