Chapter 88: The Dusty Fairy

  Everyone followed the sound and looked over. An 18 or 19-year-old girl in a red dress, with big and lively eyes, full of energy, stepped lightly into the teahouse.

  Zhao Di saw this woman and his heart skipped a beat. This woman looked young, but she was already at the middle stage of foundation building.

  "Red Fairy has arrived!" "I've seen Red Fairy before!" "Long time no see, Red Fairy!" In the teahouse, seven or eight monks all knew this woman and stood up to greet her with a bow and a shout of welcome.

  Hú zhā dà hàn and the apathetic youth also stood up to welcome the girl, while Zhao Dì on the side also stood up and saluted with his fists.

  The woman bowed to everyone in return, then walked over to Zhao Di's side and sat down. Immediately, a young girl also brought up a cup of spiritual tea.

  "Third Brother Xun said that the beautiful woman was, of course, the number one beauty on Western Star Island - the young miss of Xuanyi Pavilion!" The girl and the big man continued to chat about the topic of the beautiful female cultivator.

  "That's just a legend from recent years, the fairy of the Yun family wears a veil every day, and how many people have seen her true face!" The big man said.

  "Hehe, you big men can't see her true appearance, but I'm lucky to have seen it once. It's no exaggeration to say that the title of West Star Island's number one beauty is well-deserved." The girl smiled slightly and suddenly turned to Zhao Di, saying: "By the way, what should we call this Daoist friend?" The girl had never seen Zhao Di before, but now she saw him sitting with Xun San and the cold youth, so she was a bit curious. Then she casually set up a soundproof screen, surrounding herself and the four of them inside.

  "This is Zhao Daoyou!" Xun San introduced, "Zhao Daoyou, this is Di Er, and this is Hong Si!" The big man introduced the cold youth and the big-eyed girl to Zhao. These few people then exchanged greetings with a round of clasped fists.

  "The young girl ranked fourth in the group, and her name wasn't really Hong Si, but rather Hong Chen. I've met Zhao Dao You!" The girl felt that the name Hong Si was also a bit too unpleasant to hear, so she explained."

  "I've seen the fairy of the red dust!" Zhao said with a knowing smile.

  "Long time no see, Di Dao!" Zhao Di also greeted the young man.

  But the apathetic young man just nodded slightly towards Zhao Di, without saying much. Zhao Di smiled kindly in return and also nodded slightly, not saying much either.

  "Zhao Daoyou has come to this tea house, isn't he also preparing to go and hunt down the demon beast, looking for a suitable team?" Xun San asked very directly. Of the people who have come to the tea house during this time, nine out of ten are here because of this matter.

  "Not bad! I'm indeed lacking in experience and want to find a team to join." Zhao Di frankly admitted. At present, he still knows very little about hunting and killing sea monsters, and has no experience to speak of. At the very least, he needs to know how to go where to hunt sea monsters, how to find them, what tactics to use to kill them after finding them, and what dangers there are, before considering a plan to hunt sea monsters alone.

  Dahan heard this and was overjoyed, saying: "Oh, our team is also looking to recruit one more person. Does Fellow Zhao have any interest? Our team leader is the famous late-stage Jidi cultivator Xi Feng, also known as Xi Feng Lao Da, from Xingxing Island. Has Fellow Zhao heard of him? He will arrive at this teahouse soon and meet up with us!"

  "Xue Feng! It's actually this person!" Zhao Di was secretly delighted, as one of the few foundation-building cultivators with a good reputation that Xiao Ye had mentioned earlier was indeed Xue Feng. If he were to join this person's team, it wouldn't be a bad thing at all. So he said: "Xue Daoist is famous in the Western Star Island, and his prestige is great. I've also heard of him before. However, my own cultivation is shallow, and I'm afraid I'll drag down several important matters."

  The Great Han burst out laughing and said, "Brother Zhao is too modest. To mention nothing else, just relying on the few top-grade flying needle artifacts of Daoist friends can increase our confidence in capturing and killing the demon beast by several points!"

  The two, a detached young man and a big-eyed girl who were initially surprised by the enthusiastic hospitality of Da Han towards Zhao Di, this nameless foundation period cultivator, showed an expression of sudden realization after hearing the words "extreme flying needle technique", and also expressed interest in Zhao Di.

  The big-eyed girl said: "Fellow Daoist has a top-grade flying needle artifact, and there are many more? In that case, it's indeed much more convenient to capture and kill the demon beast. Our four-person team has been working together for many years, each doing their part and cooperating tacitly, but we've always had a slight weakness in our finishing moves. Brother Xi's Flowing Star Hammer is powerful and unmatched, but he's not good at controlling it precisely, so it's inevitable that the demon beast will be smashed to pieces! Not only can't we get any materials from the demon beast, sometimes even the demon core gets destroyed! If Fellow Daoist were to assist with his flying needles, it would be much easier! At that time, the four of us would be responsible for trapping the demon beast tightly, and then Fellow Daoist could use his flying needles to attack the weak points of the demon beast, definitely achieving a one-hit kill!" The implication was that they were extremely hoping Zhao Di could join them.

  "That's right!" Da Han also said with great joy, looking at Zhao Di with eyes full of expectation.

  At this time, even the young man who had always been cold and icy cast a glance at Zhao Di with a hint of expectation.

  Zhao thought for a moment and said: "Since you don't mind, I will do my best! But I'm not sure if Xidao friend will think that my cultivation is too low."

  "Hehe," the young girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, this Daoist friend. Xi Dage has always been good at using people's strengths, and won't be limited by formalities. Although you're only in the initial stages of your cultivation, you possess a precious treasure, so your abilities are naturally far beyond those of ordinary Qi Condensation stage cultivators!"

  The girl was originally exceptionally beautiful, especially those sparkling big eyes, which were somewhat enchanting, and with a smile as bright as a flower at this time, added several points of charm, making the big man beside her look a bit infatuated!

  The girl saw this and her face turned slightly red, and she said: "Xun San Ge, you say is it?"

  "Ah, yes, it's true!" The big man was taken aback, and after coming to his senses, he said somewhat awkwardly: "To be honest with Fourth Sister, I am actually the defeated subordinate of Zhao Daoyou!"

  "Oh, really? Brother San, tell me about it!" The girl blinked her big eyes and asked with great interest.

  "Xun Dao's friend laughed and said that we didn't even fight that time, Xun Dao's friend gave up on his own initiative. It's really not worth fighting, how can he be Xun Dao's opponent in the future!" Zhao Di said with a faint smile.

  "Zhao brothers have so many flying needle techniques, if we continue to fight, I can only desperately defend myself. If I'm not careful, I'll get seriously injured! Who dares to entangle with them?" The big man waved his hand and said, then briefly told the story of that day to the cold youth and the big-eyed girl.

  When the two heard the Great Han say that Zhao Di suddenly took out eight flying needle devices, they were still greatly shocked.

  At most, they can only manipulate five or six top-grade artifacts at the same time in their mid-term foundation. But the other party can actually operate eight flying needle artifacts at the same time! It seems that either this person's divine consciousness is beyond human, far surpassing fellow cultivators of the same rank, or these flying needle artifacts are a set of refined equipment, consuming less divine consciousness to manipulate than independently refined artifacts. A set of refined artifacts can also coordinate with each other, changing unpredictably, and their power is even greater!

  The two of them suddenly looked up to Zhao Di a few points, and secretly thought in their hearts: if they were to encounter this person themselves, would they have the power to be his match?

  Several people waited for the arrival of Xi Feng, but he had not arrived yet. So they started chatting about some interesting stories of capturing and killing demonic beasts, which Zhao Di listened to with great interest.

  It turns out that the alien star's demon beasts have many varieties! Each type of demon beast has different abilities and characteristics, and needs to be dealt with in a targeted manner. Moreover, the location of the demon core within each demon beast is also different, most are in the head, some are in the abdominal cavity, must be clearly understood, otherwise it is easy to damage the demon core. The value of the demon beasts lies more than half in these demon cores.

  Apart from using the law enforcement device to attack the monster, there are many other auxiliary means that need to be used. For example, talismans and spell arrays. Talismans don't need to be said, both attacking and defending are very useful, but as consumables, they can't be used too much. Spell arrays are extremely useful for capturing and killing monsters, because the monster's spiritual intelligence is relatively low. If you can set up a spell array in advance and lure the monster into it, using the power of the array, you can capture and kill the monster with half the effort.

  Zhao Di listened very seriously to the girl and the big man's talk about their experience in hunting and killing monsters, often just a few words would make him feel suddenly enlightened and understand a lot.

  Half a time later, the lively girl who was chatting about the demon beast suddenly stopped speaking, her eyes gleaming with joy and a hint of infatuation as she gazed at the entrance of the teahouse. The big man and the cold youth also looked over there with joy. Not only these few people, but all the cultivators in the teahouse fell silent for an instant, quietly watching the entrance of the teahouse. A middle-aged cultivator with a sword-like eyebrow, a square face, a tall and majestic figure, and an extraordinary demeanor stepped into the teahouse - it was Xi Feng, a well-known late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from Xingxing Island.
