After hearing Qi Wei's explanation, Ye Li had some preliminary understanding of this treasure hunting team. As the team leader, he could be responsible for manpower arrangements, which was indeed a relatively leisurely position.
He has no qualifications and was not trained in a training academy. He is not qualified to hold an important position. Now he has to become a team leader and accumulate some merits. Then he can be promoted to another position. This can be regarded as a reasonable arrangement made by Qi Wei and others for Ye Li.
Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, everything will be arranged. Ye Li is willing to serve as the leader of the treasure hunting team."
After Qi Wei and Mei Ruoxiang and the others smiled at each other, Mei Ruoxiang suddenly said mysteriously: "You won't regret accepting this position, because there is a person who has just joined the treasure hunting team that you really want to meet."
Hearing Mei Ruoxiang's words, Ye Li was stunned and couldn't help asking: "Who is it!?"
However, Qi Wei and others did not answer him directly, but just looked at Ye Li with ambiguous eyes, with meaningful smiles on their faces.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something. A light flashed in his eyes and a look of excitement appeared on his face.
However, after meeting the gazes of several people, he immediately suppressed his anger, and his ears turned slightly red.
Qi Wei and the others smiled at Ye Li's expression, but they didn't intend to tease him any more. They said, "Cai Yi is also in the treasure hunting team. She was reluctant to join the team, but when we told her that you would also join the team, she acquiesced to our arrangement.
We didn't arrange her there for you, but because the treasure hunting team is a relatively safe place.
You also know that she doesn't want to stay here as a princess and always wants to go out and explore.
We were worried about her going out on her own and exploring ruins, so we finally decided to let her join the treasure hunting team.
Anyway, the treasure hunting team is full of our own people, and you are the leader, so you just need to arrange more people to protect her and keep her out of danger."
It was impossible for Ye Li to say that he was not excited. In his opinion, he had not seen Dongfang Caiyi for more than ten years.
Although Ye Li focused most of his attention on cultivation, he was not a heartless person and would think of the woman he loved from time to time.
However, he naturally didn't want to show his thoughts so obviously in front of Qi Wei and the others, so he just nodded casually and said, "I will follow the instructions of the elders and protect Caiyi."
Qi Wei and the others looked at Ye Li's face full of responsibility and the look of doing everything for the public, and they smiled even more happily.
“Okay, Ye Li, go down and rest first. In three days, we will arrange everything, and then you can go to the Qilin Ridge in the north. We have found some ancient ruins there, and we need a team to go in and explore first.
If the ruins are too large to be fully explored, you should first record the situation and make an assessment of everything on the opposite side. We will issue tasks and let the disciples go in to explore.
If the ruins are not too large and your treasure hunting team can complete the exploration, then you can explore them on your own.
After the exploration is completed, everything you have discovered must be reported to the sect truthfully, and all treasures found must be handed in. Remember not to keep them for yourself.
Once discovered, the sect will impose severe punishment."
Qi Wei said this with a serious expression.
Ye Li naturally knew this truth, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Elder Qi, I will definitely be a good leader and deacon."
Afterwards, Ye Li left the meeting hall and returned to his residence in the inner city.
When the other Heaven-level disciples around saw Ye Li, whether they knew him or not, they would greet him with a smile.
Ever since Ye Li's identity became known, everyone also knew that his strength was even stronger than the number one on the Heavenly Ranking, and most people were filled with awe towards him.
After all, they are all elites and their ages are not much different, but suddenly someone's strength is several levels better than theirs, and the gap is so big that it is difficult for people to feel jealous.
Ye Li responded to everyone's greetings with a smile, especially those who lived near him, with whom he had already become very familiar.
After returning to the house, during the three days, what Ye Li did most was still practicing his Nebula Talisman.
Late in the evening on the third day, Ye Li finally succeeded in drawing the Nebula Talisman.
However, he did not send out the talisman. He just drew the talisman and then dispersed it.
It goes without saying that the power of the Nebula Talisman is incredibly great, and Ye Li doesn't want to destroy his residence or the residences of other people around him.
Anyway, he will go to Qilin Ridge later, and there should be plenty of fighting opportunities there. The power of the Nebula Talisman will be tested there.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, a guard found Ye Li and brought him a green token.
This token is exactly the same as his previous token except for the color.
This token represents the status of a deacon. Ye Li skipped the preparatory deacon stage that ordinary heavenly-level disciples need to go through after leaving the training academy, and directly became a deacon.
His previous token represented his status as a disciple, while his current token represents his status as a deacon.
Even a reserve deacon does not have this identity token, only a full-time deacon has it.
After obtaining the status of deacon, Ye Li received a map from the guard, which recorded the location of the treasure hunting team's base camp.
After looking for a while, Ye Li discovered that the treasure hunting team's camp was not far from the several northern fortresses he had protected when he participated in the defensive battle.
Several northern fortresses are already located at the border with Qilin Ridge, and the treasure hunting team's camp is even deeper into Qilin Ridge.
After the last beast tide at Qilin Ridge, there have been no more beast tides, which made the people from the four holy places feel relieved.
After all, no one wants to dispatch troops to the north for no reason, and the loss of any one person is no small matter for the Four Holy Lands.
It is definitely something no one wants to see the disciples they have trained with great difficulty die in a tide of beasts.
This time, Ye Li did not choose to travel by flying. His Leilin horse had lost its electricity and had been brought back from the Emperor's Royal Guard camp by the people of the Imperial City.
When leaving the Imperial City, Ye Li took the reins of the electric cart from the guards.
After all, Zoudian has the blood of a monster, and his intelligence is much stronger than that of an ordinary horse.
Even though Ye Li had not ridden it for many years, it still remembered Ye Li's existence. The moment Ye Li appeared, it pawed the ground with its hooves, snorted, and had excitement in its eyes.
After all, no one rode it during the years that Ye Li was away. As Ye Li's private property, not everyone could afford to ride it.
