Pleasing the old guy has its perks, who knows what other benefits might come!

Just then, the old team leader glanced at Luo Chao indifferently: "No other benefits, no matter how hard you flatter me. Can you stop thinking about so many wild things in your head?"

"..."

"Why are you staring? It's just a little magic trick, perfect for dealing with cunning little foxes like you," the old team leader said proudly, seeing Luo Chao's surprised expression.

"Teach me..."

"It's just right you came back this time; there happens to be a mission that needs some strong individuals..."

"Teach me..."

"Although you're only at Qi Refining Perfection now, your strength is already up to par. This time, I'm sending you and your senior sister to complete this mission together. Of course, she's your leader, and you must listen to her in all things."

"Teach me..."

"This mission will be dangerous; giving you the Ice Heart Armor and the Storage Bag is to make sure your abilities can be fully utilized. You must be mentally prepared."

"Teach me...."

"Teach you my ass!!"

The old team leader, irritated by Luo Chao's constant repetition, broke his years of serene cultivation. He exploded, cursing: "You want everything you see, but where's that easy? Focus on improving your realm first before you talk."

"Master, just teach me, please!" Luo Chao held his hand, looking pitiful.

Damn, such a cool spell, I must learn it. By then, if I casually show it, which girl secretly crushes on me wouldn't be crystal clear.

If I combine it with spiritual sensing, tsk tsk... cough cough~~ I'm overthinking...

Lost in daydreams, Luo Chao forgot about the master beside him who had already mastered this divine skill and got a hard knock on the head.

The old man, face red with anger, began to regret accepting such a disciple.

After two deep breaths to suppress his anger, he still said in a low voice: "Even if I teach you, you can't learn it, at least not until you're at Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Ah!" Luo Chao was immensely disappointed, feeling as if the world had turned dark. "Is there no other way?"

"No."

"Can't even solve this tiny issue, how can you be a master?"

The old man couldn't hold back anymore, roaring: "Even if it can't be solved, what can you do about it!"

"Uh... please calm down. I was just speaking casually, definitely didn't mean to belittle you. You're my master, whatever you say goes!" Luo Chao, sweating profusely, thought the old man was about to explode and quickly admitted his fault.

For who knows how many years, Qi Lingzi hadn't been rendered speechless by anyone like this. He silently recited the Clear Heart Technique to calm himself down.

"Back to the main topic. This mission forms a 10-member elite team; all must be A-Class strong. Your senior sister leads the team. You've only recently entered the world of superpower users and haven't seen many strange abilities, so you must follow your senior sister's arrangements in everything. I'm especially worried about you, which is why I called you to remind you."

"Hmph!" Yun Xi'Er, who was listening in, said discontentedly: "With this kid's ability, he can't escape my control or cause any trouble."

"Yes, senior sister is right. I'm just a nobody; obeying orders is my duty. Master, senior sister, please rest assured!" Luo Chao obediently said.

"Then I'm at ease," Qi Lingzi said with comfort. He also took out a jade fragment.

"Inside are some of my insights from many years of fighting and some practical spells you can use now. Take it back and practice well; I estimate you won't have to wait long before setting off."

Luo Chao received it like a treasure, then bade farewell to his master with Yun Xi'Er and left the place.

On the way, the two did not communicate much, having just met and having no common topics.

Every time Luo Chao started a conversation, Yun Xi'Er gave him a cold stare, probably still holding a grudge from him 'ignoring' her earlier, making Luo Chao quite depressed.

After taking the strange elevator back to the Dragon Team base Luo Chao was familiar with, they parted ways.

Once in his room, Luo Chao eagerly put his Green Forest Sword and some other miscellaneous items into and out of the Storage Bag repeatedly, finding it fascinating.

He's doing this to practice using it skillfully in the future.

He placed the jade fragment Qi Lingzi gave him on his forehead and used his spiritual sense to read the information inside.

He found that it truly lived up to the senior's insights of the Cultivation Realm; some magic spells weren't even recorded in the Taiqing Profound Talisman Chapter. They are significantly useful during combat and often have deadly effects. The experience of fighting various superpower users and ways to deal with them are also annotated inside.

This confirms that Qi Lingzi is undoubtedly battle-hardened.

After all, as a cultivator's realm increases, their lifespan extends accordingly. To cultivate to Qi Lingzi's realm, at least a hundred years are needed. Though he appears to be in his fifties or sixties with an immortal flair, it just shows he's maintained his youth well.

As for the upcoming mission, Luo Chao wasn't worried. Instead, he faintly anticipated confronting experts.

...

Three months later.

With a "bang," the door of a certain police station was kicked open by a young man emanating a chilling aura.

The young man wore coarse clothes, with a stem of dog's tail grass in his mouth. Seeing the surrounding police officers, coldness flickered in his eyes as he said coldly, "Where did you take Old Zhou?"

Old Zhou? The ragged old man the chief invited for tea this morning?

The young policemen in the station didn't dare to act rashly, but seeing the brash-looking youth in front, they were about to make a move.

However, before they could take any action, they saw the kid walking toward them, his fingers touched the arms of those reaching for electric batons, arms went numb, and sharp pain instantly hit.

Even before they could scream, the chief emerged from the office with Old Zhou, eyes lighting up seeing the youth, and approached wanting to shake the youth's hand, but the youth dodged, standing coldly and arrogantly looking at Old Zhou behind the chief.

The chief didn't mind Luo Chao's rudeness and just laughed dryly, rubbing his hands.

"Master, what did you do?" Luo Chao impatiently looked at Old Zhou and asked.

Old Zhou glared at Luo Chao and said to the chief: "Chief Zhang, I've understood the matter you've told me about, and we'll leave now."

"Alright, alright, Luo Chao, drop by sometime," Chief Zhang said slightly ingratiatingly to Luo Chao.

Old Zhou glared at Luo Chao, who reluctantly nodded, taking Old Zhou with him and swaggering out of the police station under the dumbfounded gazes of all the policemen.
