They did not recognize Shen Ping. Although he was the number one prodigy of the human race, those who knew him were basically Beast Spirits. Over the years, the number of Beast Spirits in the human race had increased to more than 5,000, which was much fewer in all the Immortal Realms.

The rest of the people were not Beast Spirits. Almost none of them knew his appearance and aura. After all, the Immortal Dao Territory was simply too vast.

There was a mission hall in the city. There were all kinds of missions here. Among them, they were mainly to hunt the Devil Clan, the Flame Race’s experts, destroy a certain army base, or destroy the enemy’s territory and carry out assassination missions.

Other than these, there were also bounties issued by some experts in the city, as well as missions such as acquisition and sale. For countless years, a lot of things here have matured long ago.

Shen Ping had no need for resources. He did not lack secret techniques, supreme treasures, immortal spirit stones, medicinal pills, talismans, and so on. He did not even need the merit points awarded by the mission. The top resources that merit points could exchange for were not as good as his authority in the human race’s treasure vault.

On the other hand, his wives and concubines were browsing through various missions like curious babies. They were very interested in many of the missions.

“Fairies, sorry to disturb you. I’m Qin Zhen.” A mid-stage Heavenly Immortal walked over and cupped his hands with a smile. “I don’t think you look familiar. It should be your first time coming to the Mission Hall to accept a mission, right?”

Yu Yan’s eyes darted around. “That’s right. We’ve indeed just arrived at the Northern Ice Immortal City not long ago. This is our first time here, so we plan to take on some less difficult missions to familiarize ourselves.”

Qin Zhen smiled and said, “The missions in the Immortal City are divided into four levels. Some missions seem easy, but they are actually very difficult. There are some things to pay attention to.”

Pei Huoyu smiled and said, “In that case, you know what’s going on inside.”

“Naturally. I’ve lived in the Northern Ice Immortal City for tens of thousands of years. I don’t know the channels and difficulty information of various missions like the back of my hand, but at the very least, I know them very well. For example, the missions issued by some Mystic Immortals in the main city above are all missions that require ingredients for pill refinement. It looks simple and the rewards are generous, but it’s actually very difficult to complete. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but the death rate is also very high.”

Qin Zhen spoke confidently, “Take the Immortal Treasure, the Extreme Drunken Ice Dragon Grass, for example. It indeed grows at the intersection of the Devil Clan and our human race, located in the Ice Rock Mountain Range of the foreign races’ battlefield. However, there are foreign race teams active there all year round. Many people have accepted this mission, but they haven’t completed it until now. For example…”

This Heavenly Immortal surnamed Qin was indeed very familiar with various missions. Even Shen Ping looked over.

They talked for twenty minutes.

Qin Zhen said, “To be honest, I’ve obtained some rewards from the mission selection. However, there are more and more people like this now. No one wants to take the risk, so I took the initiative to befriend everyone. I hope everyone can understand.”

Ying Yue said charmingly, “It’s fine. We are very unfamiliar with the mission and indeed need the guidance of a familiar person. We are willing to pay a little compensation.”

“That’s right. If we can save some trouble, we can take out some immortal spirit stones.”

The other wives, concubines and Dao companions said one after another. Qin Zhen smiled and said, “In that case, I’m relieved. Let’s go over there and talk.”

They went to a less populated place and sat down. Qin Zhen asked, “I wonder what kind of mission you want to accept. Do you want to go to the foreign races’ territory to hunt, join a team under a certain army, or join an elite team?”

Yu Yan, Wang Yun, and the other women looked at each other.

“We want to form a team and then fight the foreigners to gain merit.”

Shen Ping had given them a lot of immortal spirit stones, medicinal pills, rare treasures, and other cultivation resources, but they still wanted to rely on themselves to earn money and train their combat strength at the same time.

Be it cultivators or immortals, resources would always be at the top. Many immortals were struggling bitterly, especially true immortals who had just ascended. They would basically work hard to obtain resources.

Qin Zhen revealed a surprised expression. He did not expect these fairies to actually want to form a team. This required considerable strength. After hesitating for a moment, he said honestly, “If you want to form a team, you need at least the strength of the third level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The highest level among you fairies are only the second level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Unless your combat strength is strong, it will be very difficult for them to pass the assessment. And usually, when new teams are established, the main city will not give out some missions with high merit. In my opinion, why don’t you join some elite teams?

“In the immortal city, the elite team is composed of 30 to 50 people. The maximum number is about 100. Fairies, you’re all Heavenly Immortals. It’s enough for you to join an elite team. Every elite team earns more than 300 merit points every time they go out. This is equivalent to 300 high-grade immortal spirit stones. You can exchange it for an immortal artifact of good quality!”

Although Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the others all had immortal artifacts, they were still high-grade immortal artifacts that were suitable to unleash their power, top-notch beast spirit treasures, and so on. Moreover, they had special Great Dao treasures that were supportive. They thought that immortal artifacts were very cheap.

Even in the Immortal Realm, it was considered not bad for a True Immortal to have two or three immortal artifacts. Most Heavenly Immortals only had one or two mid-grade immortal artifacts, and they were of poor quality.

Therefore, in Qin Zhen’s opinion, a trip by an elite team could definitely be considered generous. Unfortunately, it was not attractive to Wang Yun and the others.

“Fellow Daoist Qin, we still want to create our own team. I wonder how we should build it?”

Seeing how determined they were, Qin Zhen did not persuade them anymore. He immediately told them the process of forming a team and the things they had to pay attention to. “You must remember that in the Northern Ice Immortal City, you have to keep a low profile and be careful. If you encounter someone with a background, don’t provoke them no matter what they do. Also, you fairies are extraordinary. It’s better to hide your appearances to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

“Thank you.” He then reminded them before he left, “There are some things in the city that you should not be curious about or meddle in. Alright, I hope that the fairies can kill more foreign races and cultivate safely in this Immortal City!”

Watching Fellow Daoist Qin leave, Yu Yan smiled and said, “He’s not bad.”

“That’s true. Although it’s for the immortal spirit stones, he kindly pointed out the necessary reminders, saving us a lot of time to understand.”

Wang Yun, Luo Qing and Qiuying said one after another. Shen Ping walked over. “Have you decided to form a team?”

“That’s right. Don’t worry, husband. We’re not weak.”

“That’s right. Although we’re Heavenly Immortals, we’ve all comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. We have the talent bestowed by Heaven and Earth and many treasures to protect ourselves. We’re not afraid even if we encounter a Mystic Immortal.”

He smiled and said, “Don’t show off at the beginning. Tell me if there’s anything you can’t resolve. We don’t want to cause trouble, but we’re not afraid of anything.”

“Yes, husband.”

Soon they were separated. Wang Yun, Yu Yan, and the other women went to the army to conduct the team formation assessment. Shen Ping arrived at the high-level mission area. This area required the cultivation realm of a Mystic Immortal to enter. The missions they accepted were very generous, but the danger was also extremely great.

Compared to the low-level and intermediate-level mission areas, there were fewer immortals in this area, and there were fewer missions.

He swept his gaze around. He accepted three bounty missions. The bounties were all from the experts of the Devil Clan and the Flame Race’s army. Each of these experts had killed many cultivators from the Northern Ice Immortal City. One of them even had a bounty of a million merit points.

This was not a lot for peerless immortals.

Although Shen Ping was confident in himself, it was indeed rash to accept a high bounty without understanding the foreign race battlefield. Therefore, he first took three missions to practice and see the situation here. After getting familiar with it, he would accept some difficult missions to temper himself.

“A total of 2.23 million bounty points… Hmm, let’s finish it in two months!”
