Qi Refining Eighth Layer
With the blessing of the Jade Purity Pill, Spiritual Power continued to rise.
Until it bursts from the bottle, like a wild horse breaking free, spreading throughout the body.
Qin Fei felt a "boom" and a small vortex suddenly appeared in his Dantian.
The surrounding Spiritual Qi surged in wildly, forming an invisible hurricane.
The courtyard gate shook violently and creaked.
The Big Yellow also stopped playing and stared at Qin Fei without moving.
This scene lasted for a full half hour before returning to calm.
"Breakthrough? Tsk tsk, as expected of the Everlasting Spring Art. Although it has nothing particularly remarkable about it, the Spiritual Power is truly profound."
The Big Yellow looked it over a few times and sighed.
In his time, Everlasting Spring Art was also the first choice for Rogue Cultivator.
Although the Spiritual Power cultivated through this technique has no special characteristics, it is somewhat disadvantageous in combat.
However, their strength lies in their accumulated knowledge and skills, and the Spiritual Power of those who cultivate them is extremely profound.
If one cultivates to a high level, it can be enough to make up for the deficiencies in Spiritual Power characteristics.
Qin Fei exhaled a puff of white air and then stood up.
More than two years of cultivation gave him a feeling of being in another world.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to go out on a mission once a month, he would probably have completely disconnected from the world.
"Let's go, a new mission has arrived. Let's finish it quickly; I still need to consolidate my cultivation level."
Qin Fei called out and went out the door with the Big Yellow.
Patrol Office.
Everyone greeted Qin Fei warmly upon seeing him.
"Fellow Daoist Qin is here on another mission. I've acquired a new jar of aged wine; we'll try it together when you return."
"Greetings, Captain Qin. I heard your team is short one person. May I join?"
"Oh, Fellow Daoist Qin, you've finally arrived! Quickly, help me take a look at this puppet and see what's wrong with it. Why can't it move?"
Qin Fei smiled and responded warmly to everyone.
Then they came to a window with a long queue and smiled:
"Old Lin, help me take on this mission."
He handed over the captain's token and waited quietly.
"Fellow Daoist Qin has arrived. Please wait a moment, I will investigate for you immediately."
The old man in the window, who had been wearing a stern face, smiled when he saw Qin Fei.
He quickly entered the mission details into the token, and also transferred the merit points to it.
"Old Lin, isn't this against the rules?"
"It's alright, Fellow Daoist Qin won't fail anyway, saving you the trouble of making another trip."
Qin Fei didn't say much, thanked him, and then turned and left.
After he left, the Rogue Cultivator behind him began to murmur among themselves.
"Who is this person? He looks quite imposing."
"Shh... that's Captain Qin Fei, don't talk about him."
"Captain Qin Fei, could it be the Captain Qin who completed over ten patrol missions flawlessly without a single casualty among his team members?"
"That's right. Captain Qin has also participated in two urgent and major missions, and made great contributions."
"I see. No wonder the receptionist had to put on a smiling face when he saw him. But I just heard that one person was missing from his group. Weren't there no casualties?"
The little old man at the window had clearly heard the discussion, and his expression hardened again.
"What do you know? Fellow Daoist Qin's team has one member who has broken through to the Late Qi Refining and needs to lead the team alone, which is why there's a vacancy."
"If you all possessed strength comparable to Fellow Daoist Qin, I would also allow you to cut in line and collect your merits ahead of time, how about that?"
No one in the group dared to speak again; all the Rogue Cultivator lowered their heads, their thoughts unknown.
Qin Fei's side had already arrived at the assembly point of Jia Sixteen.
Several team members quickly surrounded him, including the one in the Late Qi Refining.
"Fellow Daoist Song, why haven't you left yet? Didn't the Patrol Office tell you to report for duty?"
Generally speaking, a team can only have one person in the Late Qi Refining.
If any team member breaks through to the Late Qi Refining, they should be pulled out and lead a separate team to avoid wasting resources.
Song Yue said with a bitter and aggrieved expression:
"Captain, I don't want to leave."
However, he was slightly taken aback after sensing the aura emanating from Qin Fei.
That aura was much more powerful than his after-breakthrough; the two were on completely different levels.
"Captain, you've broken through to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer?"
Qin Fei nodded, readily admitting it.
The other team members were overjoyed to see this.
They had already witnessed their captain's strength, and now that he had broken through to a higher level, the team's survival rate would be even more guaranteed.
Song Yue was even more frustrated. In his opinion, leading a team was nowhere near as good as following Qin Fei.
Especially now, the war on the front lines has made significant progress.
Correspondingly, the number of routed troops was also increasing.
The mortality rate of the patrol team has been gradually increasing in recent years, and they may encounter a large force of defeated Barbarian Tribe troops at any time.
The Jia Sixteen Squad was able to maintain its complete organizational structure was entirely due to Qin Fei's various methods of providing early warnings.
If you go outside, you won't be so lucky.
Just then, a clear female voice rang out from the courtyard gate.
"Excuse me, is this the Jia Sixteen Patrol Squad?"
Several team members turned around, their eyes lighting up.
The newcomer was a woman, dressed in a pale yellow floral dress, with a braid that snaked down to her waist. She had a pure and innocent look that made one want to protect her at first glance.
Sun Tang, the only female member of the team, went up to them and greeted them warmly:
"You must be the new team member. That's great! Finally, I don't have to hang out with those roughnecks every day anymore."
The woman was well-mannered and greeted everyone politely.
"Fellow Daoists, I am Lu Caiwei, at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining. You may also call me Xiaowei."
"Look how polite they are. Song Yue, you should leave now; there's no place for you in Jia Sixteen."
"Good, good, Lao Song, hurry up and become the team leader, don't stop us from getting to know the new team members."
The team members teased each other and made jokes.
Song Yue wasn't angry. They had been through thick and thin together for so long that they were already very familiar with each other, and everyone understood that the other party meant no harm.
He shook his head and sighed, feigning helplessness:
"Sigh... they're all ungrateful bastards. I shouldn't have been so kind to you. I'm leaving."
He waved and walked towards the gate.
Upon reaching the door, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and solemnly bowed to the crowd.
"I've had a very pleasant time with everyone these past few days. Take care, everyone. Captain Qin, thank you for your care. I'll take my leave now."
After doing all this, Song Yue didn't look back and soon disappeared at the end of the path.
Qin Fei stared at his retreating figure for a long time before also walking towards the door.
"We should get going, Sun Tang. Explain our team rules to the newcomers."
"Luo Qiyuan, check if there are any problems with this mission."
"Chen Qing, contact the squads near the mission location and obtain the latest intelligence."
With orders issued one after another, Jia Sixteen Squad began to operate in an orderly manner.
Upon seeing this, Lu Caiwei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then, as if remembering something, her face darkened again.
"Come on, Caiwei, we're about to set off."
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Sun Tang stepped forward and took her hand.
When Chen Qing passed by, he patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't be nervous, with Captain Qin here, everything will be alright."
