At that time, Mulan saw a medicinal herb at a stall and planned to buy it.
However, when she had agreed on the price with the other party and was about to pay the spirit stones, she unexpectedly discovered that the age of the herb might have been falsified by the other party.
So he decisively gave up the purchase and wanted to leave, but the stall owner was not happy with it.
She immediately stopped Mulan and said that she had just replaced her herbs and asked her to compensate her, otherwise she would need to search her body to prove her innocence.
Mu Lian had anticipated this and was not afraid of the other party. However, while the two were arguing, a Jindan cultivator appeared.
After asking a few questions, the man actually concluded that it was Mu Lian who did it.
As a result, more and more people gathered around, which put Mu Lian, who originally wanted to take out the sect token to prove her innocence, into a dilemma.
As a girl, it was impossible for her to allow the other party to search her body. But if she took out the sect token, although this place was also under the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect, it would bring disgrace to the sect if she was not careful.
At this moment, Sun Guoshu happened to come here to look for the recipe for the elixir and heard the quarrel here.
Of course, he is no longer the Sun Guoshu of the past. He has long believed that it is better to have less trouble than more and is not willing to join in the fun at all.
So, he just took a quick look with his spiritual sense and planned to leave, but when he saw Mu Lian, who had a righteous face and a flushed face in the crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned.
For a moment, he didn't know what Mu Lian was arguing with others about, and the other party even had a Jindan cultivator to support him.
Although the Jindan in this market did not dare to take action, he was still able to suppress others with his profound cultivation and made them dare not say much, and he even suppressed Mu Lian to death.
Sun Guoshu was standing outside the crowd. After simply listening to a few words, he couldn't help but curl his lips. It was obvious that these two people were setting up a scheme to defraud money. He had done this kind of thing in the past.
After a moment of hesitation, he pushed through the crowd and walked in. With his means, there were many ways to break this situation, but Sun Guoshu chose the most direct method.
When Mu Lian saw Sun Guoshu, she couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised. She had had some interactions with this Uncle Sun, and he was actually a good person. Although he loved money very much, he was not a greedy person.
But before she could say anything, Sun Guoshu's voice came into her mind, stopping her from speaking and asking her to pretend that they did not know each other.
Sun Guoshu took out the sect token himself and asked what happened here. Not only did the surrounding cultivators' eyes fill with respect, but even the Jindan cultivator showed a trace of panic on his face.
This is the area under the jurisdiction of the Wangliang Sect, so Sun Guoshu still has the right to inquire about the situation here.
After pretending to listen to the other party's narration, Sun Guoshu hesitated for a moment and then gave a solution.
He knew what was going on here. In fact, the Jindan cultivators on duty should have known about it. They didn't show up to deal with it for half a day. Either they were in collusion with the Jindan cultivator on the opposite side, or they were too lazy to deal with such matters.
Quarrels between monks in the market town occur countless times every day. As long as no one takes action, those who are in charge of the golden elixir basically don't want to get involved.
Sun Guoshu didn't care about that. He said that the market town also represented the integrity of the sect and such things shouldn't happen.
Then he told the people around him that he could ask the monk in charge here to send a female monk to check Mulan's storage bag, or even search her body.
If it weren't for that herb, these two would have to give an explanation today as to whether they came here on purpose to cause trouble.
After Sun Guoshu said this, the two men's expressions suddenly changed, especially the foundation-building cultivator, who showed fear in his eyes.
In the end, the Jindan could only whisper to Sun Guoshu in private, and then immediately told Mu Lian something like it was a misunderstanding. Everyone tacitly agreed not to dwell on the matter.
Sun Guoshu did not ask the other party to compensate for the spirit stones, but directly took Mu Lian away from the market, which made Mu Lian a little angry.
But Sun Guoshu understood very well why the little ghost was difficult to deal with. His cultivation was not in the late Jindan stage, so he really had the ability to suppress the opponent.
Once this kind of person is pushed into a corner, he will really be a bachelor and will definitely hold a grudge deep in his heart.
But the matter was finally resolved, and Mu Lian thanked "Uncle Sun" repeatedly. Later, after returning to the sect, Mu Lian also took out spirit stones to repay Sun Guoshu.
When Sun Guoshu saw the spirit stone, he was still a little moved, but when he thought about the people calling him "Uncle Master" all the way, he gritted his teeth and refused in the end.
Sun Guoshu didn't know many people in the Wangliang Sect, and he knew he couldn't go to Li Yan often, so favors had to be used less often.
Li Yan had given me a lot of spirit stones and elixirs so that I could form a pill. Although the two of us are now peers again, I can't really think that my status is the same as Li Yan's.
He was also waiting for Li Yan to tell him to do something. Apart from that, he was more familiar with Bai Rou. On weekdays, Sun Guoshu spent more time alone.
Mulian was also wholeheartedly pursuing the path of cultivating immortals. She devoted herself to cultivation and did not interact much with others. Although many male cultivators had long admired her, she rejected them all.
In this way, after the two returned all the way, they felt very familiar with each other. Out of gratitude for Sun Guoshu's help, the two left each other's marks on the sect token.
In the following days, the two sides would occasionally send voice messages to ask about each other's recent situation. At the beginning, Mu Lian was still extremely respectful and was very careful in her words.
But after several years, I found that Sun Guoshu never put on airs.
Moreover, Sun Guoshu, who had been in the market for many years, had many clever ways of communicating with others, which made Mulan gradually feel less restrained.
Gradually, they dared to ask Sun Guoshu for advice on many matters concerning cultivation. As time went by, the man and woman actually developed feelings for each other.
It’s just that Mulian is a person who pursues the great way. If she liked to cling to high positions, she might have formed a Taoist partner with someone else long ago.
She felt both happy and sad about Sun Guoshu's confessions. She didn't want to waste too much time on the immortal path, but she also felt fond of Sun Guoshu.
Today, Sun Guoshu mentioned the matter of a Taoist partner again. Mu Lian also knew that Sun Guoshu was not narrow-minded. Otherwise, if she had been hesitating, others would have either used their power to pressure others or would have found someone else to be their lover. But Sun Guoshu was waiting!
"I... I want to wait until the Dan is formed!"
Mu Lian bit her red lips with her snow-white teeth and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
"this… "
Sun Guoshu's expression was dull.
"You know how much time I have left in my life. If we really can't live together forever, then I will give up my cultivation and stay by your side for the last ten years!"
Mu Lian finally raised her head and looked at Sun Guoshu, her eyes no longer hesitant.
“Oh, that’s not what I meant… I didn’t expect you to finally agree!”
Today, Sun Guoshu just asked the question casually again. He had asked this question many times, but the answer he got was always silence. Today was really unexpected.
"You mean I should not agree?"
Mu Lian immediately rolled her eyes at Sun Guoshu, her eyes full of charm, which made Sun Guoshu's heart flutter and he chuckled.
"No, of course not. Come on, keep sharpening your skills. I really won't take action unless it's a matter of life and death for you this time!"
Mu Lian nodded, and then flew in one direction alone. She knew that Sun Guoshu would be hiding behind her.
Sun Guoshu looked at the figure going away, he turned around and looked in one direction, which was the direction where the Wuliang Sect was.
"Senior Sister Bai, Young Master, I have finally become a true immortal cultivator. I have a direction and someone I love. Thank you!!"
What Sun Guoshu didn't know was that Li Yan had already returned and was experiencing a crucial life and death catastrophe. If things went wrong, he would end up dying.
Sun Guoshu knew that Li Yan had gone out for training, but he didn't know when he would return. He got this information from Bai Rou!
At the same time, about ten thousand miles away from the Wuliang Sect, there is a place with beautiful scenery.
In a weapon refining room, Bai Rou had just finished refining a puppet. There was slight sweat on her forehead. Looking at the puppet in her hand, she slightly frowned.
The puppet in her hand looked very similar to the Qianluo Ancient Ape, but Bai Rou did not have the Qianluo Stone, so she could not refine a puppet of the same level as the Qianluo Ancient Ape.
But that's not what she cares about. What she wants is for their appearance and aura to blend perfectly.
She waved her hand, and with a flash of light, another puppet floated in front of her. At the same time, the ancient ape puppet in her white palm also flew up.
Then, the two puppets rose and fell slightly in the air, and then floated side by side in front of Bai Rou's eyes. The two puppets looked like a pair of complete puppets, giving people a feeling that neither of them was indispensable.
Bai Rou's pair of beautiful eyes flickered as she stared at the two ancient ape puppets that were 80 to 90 percent similar, her long eyelashes trembling slightly occasionally.
For a moment, the entire secret room was extremely quiet. About half a cup of tea later, Bai Rou let out a light sigh, swept her sleeves, and put the Qianluo Ancient Ape back into her possession.
After careful observation, she still felt that the two ancient ape puppets placed together could not completely synchronize their breath, and she could not feel that they were a complete set.
She reached out again to grab the ancient ape puppet she had made floating in the air. The soft white gauze slid down her smooth arm to the crook of her arm, revealing an arm that was smoother than snow and frost.
After grabbing the ancient ape puppet, Bai Rou moved lightly towards the corner of the refining room, where there was a bronze wooden shelf filled with a lot of refining materials.
When she stopped in front of the wooden shelf, she made a hand gesture with her other hand, and runes flashed on a green wooden box on the wooden grid in front of her. With a "click", the lid of the box slowly popped open.
Then, Bai Rou gently placed the puppet in her hand into the box and pressed the lid again to close it.
At the same time, spiritual light flickered on her hands, and many runes fell from between her fingers onto the green wooden box. After doing all this, Bai Rou turned around and walked towards the door of the refining room.
If someone had seen everything here just now, they would have discovered that in that green wooden box, there were six puppets that looked almost identical, and they all looked like ancient apes...
When Bai Rou walked out of the refining room, she found that the sky was full of wind and clouds, so she looked up at the sky.
This time I have been in the weapon refining room for nearly three months. This is the forbidden area of the "Muliu Sect" and no one dares to disturb it.
It was about noon, but the sky was dark.
"got windy!"
Bai Rou looked at the clouds flowing in the sky and followed the direction of the clouds. That direction was exactly where the Wuliang Sect was.
For a moment, she thought of the man who had come a few years ago, the man who looked at her across the window.
"He is truly a child of destiny. While others are still struggling in the Golden Core Stage, he is already on the verge of reaching the unreachable edge..."
Bai Rou stood in front of the door, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky. Her thoughts seemed to drift away with the gathering clouds...
She never thought that the man would meet with the heavenly tribulation today, but he didn't even have time to tell her!
Wuliang Sect, Li Yan revealed large areas of skeleton on his body, looking ferocious!
