After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Chapter 587 Team formation

After returning to the Divine Realm City, Pei Yun began preparing for the team formation for the Five Palaces Joint Competition. She participated as a disciple of the Dao God Palace and served as the team leader. The Weapon God Palace naturally invited Fu Lingchen.

Fu Lingchen seemed to have recovered from the blow he suffered half a month ago. Although he looked a bit haggard, he was in good spirits.

Pei Yun then posted a message in the mission hall recruiting people for a team. Soon, two acquaintances came to him one after another. They were Zhou Feng and He Changxuan, whom he had just met.

Zhou Feng is a disciple of the Array God Hall. He was able to enter the Array God Hall with the cultivation of the early stage of Golden Core, which shows that his talent is truly outstanding. Although Pei Yun only knows a little about array formations, the fact that the other party can set up a relatively thorough defensive array in a short time is quite amazing to Pei Yun. Even the elders of the Array Hall of Yunshan Sect cannot do it.

Needless to say, He Changxuan was the one who tested the other party's alchemy skills that day. Although he was only a sixth-grade alchemist, his foundation was solid. Moreover, she herself was an alchemist, so if alchemy was needed in the competition, she could do it herself.

So Pei Yun thought about it for a moment and accepted the two. Now only the disciples of the Talisman God Palace remained. However, she had no connections in the Talisman God Palace and could only wait for the disciples of the Talisman God Palace to come to her on their own through the tasks they posted.

However, more than a month after the mission was posted, no disciples from the Talisman God Temple came to him. Pei Yun couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, as he couldn't sign up if his team didn't have enough members.

Seeing this, Fu Lingchen half-jokingly said, "...It seems we've dragged you down. With your cultivation level, it wouldn't be difficult to form a team, but Zhou Feng and I are only at the Golden Core stage, and He Changxuan is only at the early Nascent Soul stage. It's normal that those outside wouldn't come to our door after seeing our team's strength..."

Everyone understands that disciples with low cultivation levels can enter the temple either because they have good talent or a powerful background. However, talent only represents potential, not strength. The competition relies on strength, not potential or background.

Therefore, Fu Lingchen was right. To outsiders, Pei Yun's team, apart from herself, was too weak, with two Golden Core disciples among them.

“I’ll ask Senior Brother Pan Shi in a few days to see if he has any connections in the Talisman God Palace…” Pei Yun sighed.

Through the two events of detoxifying Wang Xueer and treating the Zhen family patriarch, she deeply felt that the "Life-Sustaining Technique" she had cultivated in her early years was still of a lower grade. Therefore, she wanted to earn more points to exchange for a higher grade healing technique.

This joint competition of the five palaces is a perfect opportunity to earn points, and Pei Yun naturally cannot let it pass.

The two were chatting idly in the villa where they were temporarily staying when they heard a noise outside the door. Pei Yun was startled and got up to open the door.

“…I am a disciple of the Talisman God Palace. I saw the team recruitment mission posted by Pei Yun, a disciple of the Dao God Palace, in the Mission Hall, so I wanted to give it a try…” A young and petite woman stood outside the door, her face slightly shy.

Pei Yun and Fu Lingchen exchanged a glance. Just as they were worrying about this, someone came to their door. The two couldn't help but smile and warmly welcomed the person in.

"I am Pei Yun, and also the captain of this team. We are in need of disciples from the Temple of Talismans..." Pei Yun said with a smile, while subtly sizing up the person in front of him.

This woman was only at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Perhaps because of her low cultivation level, she was rather introverted, which explained her nervousness as she spoke: "My name is Minglu. I am a disciple of the Talisman Dao Sect and have just been promoted to a fifth-grade Spirit Talisman Master. These are the talismans I crafted..."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yun and Fu Lingchen were shocked. Although the Fu Dao Sect was not one of the top ten sects in Dong Cang Continent, it was still a well-known sect, and the entire sect consisted of spirit talisman masters.

Pei Yun took the talismans and looked them over, then said, "How about Fellow Daoist Ming refines one of the talismans on the spot?"

Minglu nodded without backing down and took out talismans, a spirit brush, and cinnabar.

Pei Yun and Fu Lingchen stood silently to the side, observing. Neither of them had studied talisman making, but they could tell that the other party's writing was smooth and effortless, without a moment's pause, and the spiritual power released from the tip of the pen was just right, showing that he had profound skill.

Because of time constraints, Minglu only refined one seventh-grade explosive talisman, which she completed in one go in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

She activated the explosive talisman in front of everyone, and a ball of scorching flame suddenly rose into the air. The huge fireball instantly split into nine smaller fireballs that floated in front of the three people. It took a while for the flames to go out.

Pei Yun's eyes lit up. She had used many talismans before and could tell that the seventh-grade explosive talisman the other party had refined was of very high quality.

However, Pei Yun still wanted to make things clear beforehand. She said, "Fellow Daoist Ming comes from a major sect and has considerable strength. Why would you want to team up with us? You should have seen the information I posted in the mission, right? There are also two Golden Core disciples in our team..."

Minglu was a little embarrassed: "...I only thought of giving it a try because I saw that there were Golden Core disciples in Fellow Daoist Pei's team. After all, Golden Core cultivation is not very popular in other teams."

Minglu usually focuses on making talismans and rarely interacts with outsiders. She is quiet, reserved, and rather introverted.

This time, it was her master who encouraged her to participate in the Five Palaces Joint Competition. Her master was an elder of the Talisman God Palace and had also given her the information that the rewards for this competition were very generous. In addition to the points rewards, there would be other rewards if she performed well. No disciple of the temple would not want the points.

Pei Yun's team was the second team she had interviewed. She had interviewed another team before, but when they saw that she was a Golden Core cultivator, they didn't even let her demonstrate her strength and told her directly that they didn't want Golden Core disciples.

"With your strength, I naturally hope you can join me. However, there is one thing I need to explain to you in advance."

"Please speak, Fellow Daoist Pei."

"Since this is a team competition, as the team captain, I hope that Fellow Daoist Ming will prioritize the team's interests during the competition..."

Minglu was a smart person and naturally understood Pei Yun's implication. She nodded and said, "I will follow the captain's arrangements and will not act on my own."

Seeing that the team had finally been successfully formed, Pei Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled brightly and took Minglu's hand, saying, "Welcome, Fellow Daoist Ming, to join us."

Seeing Pei Yun's enthusiasm, Minglu smiled shyly.

Seven days later, apart from Fu Lingchen who was already living there, Pei Yun gathered the other three to live together in the separate courtyard, so that they could get to know each other first, since there were still about three months until the competition.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, why don’t you study the five-person combination formation? The four of us can cooperate with you to form a formation to fight the enemy.”

"Yes, Senior Pei."

"Junior Brother He, what we probably need most in the competition are pills to replenish our spiritual and mental energy. I'm participating as a disciple of the Dao God Palace, so I might not be able to participate in pill refining. That'll have to rely on you for that..."

"Senior Sister Pei, I understand."

"Fellow Daoist Ming, our team is not at a disadvantage in terms of cultivation level. You can refine more defensive talismans then..."

“Alright, Fellow Daoist Pei, but… my master said this competition isn’t a ring competition. She hinted that I don’t need to prepare too many talismans in advance, because I might not be able to use them during the competition…”

"Okay, you'll have to adapt to the situation."

“Fu Lingchen, your weapon forging will take the longest, and as Fellow Daoist Ming just said, we probably can't use our preparations in advance. During the competition, you'll cooperate with me and act according to the circumstances…”

"do not worry."
