Looking at the soul guide Chen Qingting took, Xu Mingxi was astonished.
It turned out that soul guide technology had already existed ten thousand years ago. But this didn't seem strange, because the storage soul guide was also a soul guide.
Although Xu Mingxi had no interest in soul guides, this also proved one thing, that there were indeed some good things in the places this group of adventurers visited.
"Big Brother Ting, what are your plans next? Take me with you."
Chen Qingting looked around and didn't see Chen Rudong and his wife, so she leaned into Xu Mingxi's ear and spoke.
"Brother Mingxi, this time we're going to a good place. There must be treasure there."
There must be treasure there? Are you sure?
Compared to the soul guide, Xu Mingxi hopes to get something that can increase his strength. If he didn't have any rare treasures, two hundred thousand years of soul bones would be enough. He is not picky.
"Brother Ting, the place you mentioned won't be too dangerous, right?"
"How could it be? There are only a bunch of gibbon soul beasts that like to group together, and there might be some small traps."
"Yes, don't worry, brother, we'll protect you when the time comes."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Mingxi immediately felt a murderous aura coming from the direction of the two brothers.
Looking outside, Xue Yun stood outside the window with Chen Qinghuang. His face was grim, and Chen Qinghuang was staring at his two brothers as if they were dead.
Xu Mingxi didn't know what happened next. He made an appointment with the two brothers to meet at Qingyin Inn the next day and hurried away.
"Geez, this is too scary."
After returning to the inn, Xu Mingxi began to worry that no one would take him to the adventure group.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xue Yun was careful in her attack, and the pain was reduced but no bones were broken. The two brothers returned with black eyes.
Chen Qinghuang was also traveling with them. She gave Xu Mingxi a hateful look, but didn't say anything more.
Last night, Madam Xue Yun carefully analyzed his advantages and disadvantages with him, and he also had his own pride, so he naturally wouldn't continue to pester her if he was rejected outright.
The two seemed to have returned to their usual habits of getting along, polite but not cold. Xu Mingxi felt at ease. There were still many normal people in the world.
"You two, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, brother Xu, we're fine. Let's go, we'll take you to meet our good friends."
The adventurer group formed by the Chen family's two brothers was called the Magic Tiger. They were both in their thirties and were the oldest.
All the members were second-generation and their friends from Dongji city and surrounding towns, totaling fifteen people.
As a member brought in by the two group leaders themselves, Xu Mingxi was naturally treated with courtesy by everyone.
As Xu Mingxi listened to everyone's self-introductions, he felt that something was off. It would be more appropriate to call this group of adventurers a coalition of several allied families.
In the past two days, Xu Mingxi had also heard some superficial information in Dongji City. Besides the City Lord's Mansion, there were a total of five Soul Douluo families in the city.
Demon Tiger Chen's family and his allies, Iron Key Xiao's family, Ghost Leopard Mo's family and his in-laws, Ghost Plant Zhao's family.
And the most special was the Seven-Colored Yuan Family, who remained neutral. Their Soul Douluo Master was not the head of the family, but rather a guest.
Xu Mingxi was very interested in the Yuan family. The Seven-Colored Deer Martial Spirit was similar to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, but its quality was much lower than the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
What's more, before Xu Mingxi set out, the third elder had specifically met him and asked him, if possible, to help him see how Yuan Ting, the head of the Yuan family, had fared over the years.
At first, Xu Mingxi didn't care much for it. Third Elder had never married in his entire life, and he thought that he was in love with the former head of the family, and that it was a natural thing.
It wasn't until Xu Mingxi came to Dongji City that he learned that the head of the Yuan family had a feminine and handsome appearance, but he was actually a man.
Good, good, Third Elder, I'm truly touched by your brotherhood.
"My name is Xu Mingxi. I'm from the southwest. I'm a level 55 auxiliary control type combat soul king. Thank you for your guidance."
Not only was Xu Mingxi observing the members of the adventure team, they were also observing Xu Mingxi.
I thought it was a relative brought by two brothers from the Chen family, but I didn't expect the level of soul power to be so high.
There were only four Soul Kings in their adventuring group, the two team leaders, deputy team leader Xiao Rui and his friend, the genius Tong Lin who came from an ordinary family.
The same was true for Chen Qinghuang. He thought the difference was not big, but he did not expect that they were almost the same age but it turned out to be a huge age difference.
After hearing Xu Mingxi's level, everyone present became more enthusiastic, which was the effect Xu Mingxi wanted.
While toasting, they returned to talking about what they had agreed on long ago, which was to explore Jueyun Gorge.
Jueyunjian was a remote place outside of Dongji City, where a large group of siamang soul beasts lived. It could be considered a small gathering place for beasts.
Because these siamangs never left Jueyun Gorge, and they were very strong, more than one ten-thousand-year-old soul beast had been found, so Dongji City had never dealt with them.
The surrounding forces even use this place as a soul hunting ground, but the adventurous group wants to go to the depths of Jueyun Gorge, a place that has not yet been developed.
"Have you decided, everyone? I can't guarantee your safety in this operation."
"If anyone wants to retreat, please ask now. This time is very dangerous. I will not blame you."
Chen Qingting and Xiao Rui spoke at the same time. This exploration was not only their idea, but also their family's idea.
At that time, the two families would each send a Soul Sage to accompany them, but there were many soul beasts inside and the situation was unknown. Even a Soul Sage may not be able to achieve his goal.
They didn't want the young brothers and friends who followed them to die for no reason.
In the end, only four Soul Kings and two high-level Soul Masters participated. Even Chen Qinghuang was sent home and not allowed to leave.
Xu Mingxi finally understood that this adventurous group was just an excuse for the Chen family-led army to gather together.
"Brother Xu, why don't you go this time? It's very dangerous over there."
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, there's someone protecting me behind me."
Sure enough, the other people present saw Xu Mingxi's clothes, his conversation, and his strength, and knew that he most likely came from a powerful family, so it was no surprise that he had a protector.
As for Xu Mingxi, he knew that the sect must have arranged for him to be protected by at least one elder. Otherwise, it would be really strange.
"Alright, then I'll trouble Big Brother Xu to go with us."
They agreed to meet at the Dongji City gate in the early hours of the morning two days later.
Meanwhile, conversations were also taking place in Ghost Leopard Mo's family mansion. Several black-clothed figures flashed quickly, then left the mansion and disappeared into the darkness.
If only Ling Yi was here, he would definitely discover that the Sword Soul Emperor who had stopped him was among them.
After agreeing on a departure time, Xu Mingxi strolled along the street, touching here and there, afraid lest others might not notice him.
Then he bought some snacks and asked for directions, until he finally stopped in front of a grand mansion.
Xu Mingxi clapped his hands, fixed his clothes and hairstyle, stepped forward, and pressed the door knocker.
