My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 131 Members of the Three Major Groups
"My name is Xiyan. I mainly fly on the three routes of Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu. This is my business card. If you two need to take flights on these three routes in the future, you can call me and ask for anything."

The flight attendant handed her business card to Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia, and then left tactfully without disturbing them any further.

Until Zhou Ping and Jiang Xia were far away.

She patted the curve of her chest that was bulging at the collar of her shirt and nervously asked her friends, "Did I not act too eager just now? Will it offend them?"

The friend shook his head. "You've performed very well, but Xiyan, who are they to make you so enthusiastic? Even if you were a rich young man in the Magic City before, I've never seen you so excited."

Another friend rolled his eyes. "I'm guessing she's probably a cultivator. That woman just now had fair skin, beautiful features, a heroic demeanor, and a lotus mark between her eyebrows. At first glance, she looked like a fairy from an anime. You can't achieve that with just makeup."

Xiyan smiled and said, "I can't hide it from your sharp eyes. They are indeed cultivators, and not ordinary ones. I was lucky enough to meet them both on a flight. Their aura is truly extraordinary."

"I didn't expect to see them here again. If I could get to know them, even if I could just talk to them for a few words, I would be satisfied."

The friend said, "You don't just want to talk, you want to be her lover. If you can get her, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life."

"you do not say."

Listening to the banter of two friends.

Xiyan didn't deny it, but she knew it was just wishful thinking.

On appearance and figure.

She thought she was no weaker than any other girl, and she did not degenerate herself in the face of those rich young men, but in the eyes of practitioners, she was very ordinary.

……

The fifth floor of the shopping mall.

Jiang Xia snorted unhappily.

Zhou Ping, carrying a lot of bags, said calmly, "What's wrong?"

"Humph."

Jiang Xia snorted again.

Zhou Ping coughed dryly and asked, "Who offended you?"

"You know it yourself."

"What do I know? I just smell sour."

Jiang Xia turned her head away, biting her red lips and said, "Who told you to have such a good memory? You even recognize a flight attendant you've never met before."

Zhou Ping smiled bitterly and said, "Don't blame me. We are all cultivators. Photographic memory is the most basic instinct. Don't tell me you don't know that flight attendant. Besides, she's just an ordinary person. Why are you jealous of her?"

Jiang Xia pouted, "So what you mean is, if she is a cultivator, and you asked for her contact information, then we are going to the hotel later."

Seeing her start to be unreasonable.

Zhou Ping quickly said, "Okay, okay, it's my fault."

"That's what it is."

Jiang Xia grumbled and hugged Zhou Ping even tighter, the curve of her chest rubbing against him, making Zhou Ping "miserable". Fortunately, this sweet and warm torture ended when they were shopping in the mall and entering a store to choose something.

The next day.

All the captains of the special department are present.

In the conference room.

Director Wang announced the list of space vessels heading to Antarctica.

There was a sudden commotion.

Captains Wu, Han and others were not dissatisfied with the list, but they felt that there were too few places. Although there had been rumors a long time ago, many captains were still emotional when they saw the list.

Director Wang pressed his palm.

After the meeting room quieted down, he said, "Anyone who has any opinions may raise them, but the General Administration will not accept them. The quota for this time has already been decided, and we will go to Antarctica in a few days."

The words fell.

A captain immediately stood up and said, "Director Wang, even if you don't accept my proposal, I still want to raise it. The number of places this time is too small, not even in double digits. It's not fair to our special department."

Many captains also started shouting.

Director Wang did not stop them until the noise gradually died down. Then he said slowly,

"This time, the quota was decided after consultation with the top management. If anyone feels that they are 100% confident of passing the next stage of the practical test by going to Antarctica, I will immediately include their name on the list."

As soon as these words came out.

The conference room fell silent.

All the special department captains looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word. They had basically all experienced the difficulty of the actual combat test. Although everyone's cultivation strength had improved a lot in the past six months, they were not sure, not even Yuan Yi who ranked high in combat power.

Director Wang said calmly, "If not, then the list is finalized. Now, each district should report on their work."

More than two hours later.

End of the meeting.

Jiang Xia lowered her head and didn't seem very happy. Although she got the quota, she felt that such a quota should be given to other captains.

Zhou Ping guessed her thoughts as soon as he saw her expression, so he advised, "Don't overthink it. Since Director Wang gave you the list, it's assumed that you can pass the next level. And with your current psychic power and means, you can indeed pass the next level."

Jiang Xia has the cultivation methods and means bestowed by the Phoenix Fairy, which is more than enough to pass the third level.

"I know."

"But, but I am..."

Zhou Ping interrupted, "Whatever the reason, it's all due to your luck and strength. The fact that the Phoenix Fairy can attach herself to you is fate. Do you understand? It's your chance. Instead of blaming yourself, why not train yourself and strive to demonstrate your true strength in the Antarctic combat test? Don't waste this opportunity."

Hear this.

Jiang Xia clenched her fist and said, "I will prove myself."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The members of the three major groups headed by Lei Jiming who were heading to the Antarctic spaceship came to the Special Section General Administration. There were more than a hundred of them, and all of them had cultivation bases exceeding 6,000 spiritual energies, reaching the fifth level of Qi training or above, and there were more than a dozen of them in the late stage of Qi training.

This lineup is stronger than the one sent by the special department last time.

Two major forces.

The three major groups pay more attention to cultivation.

Special departments focus more on combat power and means.

"Old Wang."

"Thank you for your special cooperation this time. My three major groups are grateful to you."

The hearty and rough voice exploded like thunder.

Zhou Ping and others subconsciously looked at a man walking towards them not far away. He was tall and strong, even bigger than Captain Wu, Captain Han and other physical cultivators. He was two meters and five or six meters tall, with muscles taut all over his body, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Director Wang said coldly, "Junior brother, you don't have to thank me. This is all earned by you."

The person who came was Director Wang’s junior fellow student Qin Bing.

Lei Jiming's father-in-law is also the helmsman of the three major groups.

This Qin Bing is known as the fierce tiger.

He follows the path of physical cultivation, but his methods in fighting are much more violent and fierce than those physical cultivators like Wu Tianming. Xionghu's combat power is also not weak, but not as strong as Director Wang, Director Peng and others.

"Haha."

"Old Wang, you are right. The reason why my three major groups were able to win so many places this time is because of our own strength." After hearing this.

Team Yuan and others standing behind Director Wang showed contempt in their eyes.

Qin Bing, the fierce tiger, didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "We're leaving the day after tomorrow. I wonder if your special department has prepared the magic weapon suits?"

Director Wang said calmly, "It's already prepared. Come with me and change into it. You can also adapt to it, so as not to let foreign forces laugh at you when you arrive at the Antarctic spacecraft."

soon.

Qin Bing, Lei Jiming and hundreds of other men and women followed Director Wang Peng to change into their magic weapon uniforms.

Team Zhou Pingyuan and others returned to the dormitory building.

on the way.

Captain Yuan explained some information about the three major groups. "Among them, Qin Bing is the strongest. Half of their members come from the Daoist Academy, and the other half are descendants of prominent figures in the country, so their strength varies. However, because they focus on cultivation and rarely waste time on practicing talismans and other skills, the cultivation level of the three major groups is generally stronger than our special department."

"Of course, the strength of those children with status is relatively average. There are also some who stand out, but they are very rare... Director Lei is the most outstanding Foundation Establishment cultivator among the three major groups. He almost became Director Wang's disciple. Later, he was trained by the state and concentrated resources to enable him to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. I heard that he is now a cultivator in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment stage."

Jiang Xia asked in surprise, "Middle stage of foundation building?"

"Correct."

Team Leader Yuan sighed, "Director Lei possesses a rare single thunder spiritual root. His cultivation has indeed improved rapidly, and the nation's resources haven't been wasted in his cultivation. I've heard many people say that he's the most promising cultivator in the world to achieve a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, or even the Nascent Soul stage."

"So many people in China are very optimistic about him."

Listen to this.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but look at Zhou Ping.

She was well aware of Zhou Ping's true cultivation strength. He had melted the immortal fire, tempered his body, and condensed his Taoist foundation with the supreme Taoist fetus. He had also practiced the foundation-building method taught by the Phoenix Fairy. Such a foundation was definitely stronger than that of Lei Jiming.

"Besides Lei Jiming, are there any other prominent figures among the three major groups?"

Zhou Ping asked.

He had just used his spiritual sense to investigate, and apart from Lei Jiming and Qin Bing, who had strong magical pressure, the others were not particularly powerful.

Captain Yuan thought for a moment and said, "There is another one, who is quite mysterious. It is said to be a woman named Lian Qing. She has good combat capabilities, but she rarely shows up. It seems that she is not among the people who will go to Antarctica this time."

Zhou Ping was stunned.

Lianqing.

What is her relationship with Lian Yue? Could it be that she is also Jing'an's?

Thinking of the relationship between Lei Jiming and Jing'an Si.

He felt that it was very likely.

Chatted for a while.

Several people returned to their dormitories.

until night.

After Zhou Ping finished his training, he came to Director Wang’s room.

Knocked on the door.

Director Wang's voice sounded, "Come in."

Seeing Zhou Ping, he didn't show any surprise, but said, "You came so late, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."

Zhou Ping asked, "Director Wang, I wonder if there are any members of the Guigu Sect among the three major groups this time?"

"No."

Director Wang shook his head. "The Guigu Sect is known for its mystery and rarely appears in public. It's impossible for them to go to the Antarctic spacecraft."

Zhou Ping was puzzled and asked, "Doesn't the Guigu Sect need resources for cultivation?"

The resources of spaceships are very important and precious.

The world's entry into the era of spiritual practice depends on spaceships.

Director Wang sighed, "This is also what I'm confused about. I suspect that although the Guigu Sect isn't a relic from ancient times, they definitely know some information from that era. Their resources are likely obtained from those ruins."

"Lei Jiming is in charge of the antiquities excavation team, and there's a high possibility that the Guigu Sect is behind him."

Zhou Ping's expression changed slightly. "Director Wang, I wonder if you have heard of Jing'an Si."

Director Wang was silent.

Then he slowly said, "Jing'an Si is equally mysterious, but their cultivation methods are more mysterious. However, their actions are very different from the Guigu Sect. There are branches of Jing'an Si all over the country. They mainly engage in entertainment and secretly sell information."

He glanced at Zhou Ping and continued, "Besides this, Jing'an Si also maintains cooperative relationships with other forces in terms of cultivation resources."

"All right."

"We're heading to Antarctica the day after tomorrow. You must prepare well and strive to pass the fourth level. The resources of the Taiyan Sect are related to your clearance authority. If you pass the fourth level, you'll gain more resources, grow faster, and be more confident in dealing with crises ten years from now."

Director Wang waved his hand and said, "As for Guigu, Jing'ansi and other powerful organizations, don't take them too seriously. No matter how mysterious they are, they are just underground rats hiding in the background."

"Yes."

Seeing that Director Wang was unwilling to say more.

Zhou Ping also tactfully left the room.

Return to where you live.

He frowned. The more he learned about the Guigu Sect, Jing'an Si, the evil organizations, and so on, the more frightened he became. But Director Wang was right about one thing, that is, these forces were definitely eyeing the ancient ruins.

After all, judging from the timing of their appearance, they were all surrounding the ancient ruins.

Compared with the resources within the space ships, the ancient ruins are the real wealth of underground cultivation.

Not to mention anything else.

The fairy fire seeds he obtained from the Afang Palace alone are incomparable to the resources of the Taiyan Sect.

"I still have to keep in touch with Juxiu. Maybe I can get some information from her..."

Think of this.

He took out his phone and was about to send a message to Juxiu when he suddenly stopped, shook his head and said to himself, "Let's talk about it after I get back from the spaceship."

This trip to the space ship is a good opportunity for him.

Possessing the Immortal Fire Seed and the Supreme Dao Fetus's foundation, he must make a good effort in order to obtain higher authority.

the next day.

In the square of the Special Branch General Administration, hundreds of members from the three major groups all changed into their magic weapon battle suits. These magic weapon battle suits were all standardized, but even so, only the Special Branch had reserves of them in the country.

Watch these people adapt to the magic weapon armor.

One captain curled his lips and snorted, "I inquired last night. Of the hundreds of members selected by the three major groups, less than 30% have a combat power of over 300. The rest are very average. If they go, it will just be a waste of quota."

Captain Yuan shook his head. "No way. In fact, if we were to go there, it would be the same."

Zhou Ping was silent.

Cultivation resources are precious, and domestic forces are actually competing for them. There is no right or wrong in this matter, it is just a matter of interests.

It's approaching noon.

Lei Jiming suddenly approached Zhou Ping and said coldly, "Mr. Zhou, I won't argue with you about the Afang Palace incident in Mount Li, but please don't interfere with anything concerning ancient ruins in the future. This is the business of our antiquities excavation team."
