Nascent Souls are a rare commodity in Beining Continent, but if the entire Continent is added together, it is always no problem to make enough for one slap, and maybe there will be more. In addition to those who came from other continents, there were probably around 10 or 20 Yuan Ying real people flying around in Beining at this time.
Even among these people, Chu Lian has a very bad temper. This shadow demon avoided all other Nascent Soul real people, but bumped into Chu Lian by himself, his luck is really not bad.
"Even though it's just a small fish, it's not a total loss." Chu Lian grinned, tightening the five fingers that were gripping the demon.
The Shadow Demon was struggling desperately, and his voice was indescribably shrill and piercing. But under this pinching, as if his throat was strangled, the screams stopped abruptly, and the struggle weakened extremely quickly, leaving only some faint tremors at the end. As Chu Lian's strength became stronger and stronger, the tremors of this demon became more and more obvious, and even the color on his body became lighter and lighter.
Once the tone fades to the point of being invisible, the demon is considered dead.
"Master," Wen Xuan couldn't take it any longer and stood up and said, "This monster in front of me is actually related to me."
Chu Lian was startled when he heard the words, and the strength in his hand suddenly loosened, which somehow made the Shadow Demon take a breath.
At first, Chu Lian looked at Wen Xuan with disbelief. Gradually, his face darkened, and his questioning tone was unspeakable, "Is this true?"
Monsters are sensitive things, especially during these extraordinary times. Wenxuan naturally knew this, and also knew how much trouble it would bring him by saying these words at this time. But the Shadow Demon always came here to give them the Concentric Gu solution, so he couldn't pretend he didn't know it.
"What's going on?" Luckily, Chu Lian still knew a little about this apprentice, and immediately frowned, "Tell me about it in detail."
Wenxuan started from their encounter with the Shadow Demon, and followed the chronological order and explained the concentric Gu and the death contract one by one.
The more she listened, the more Chu Lian frowned, and finally she couldn't help but say, "According to what you said, isn't this monster trying to attack you, but it was restrained by you instead? What kind of origin is this! "
Wen Xuan suddenly stopped.
Even Jian Jian on the side couldn't help nodding his head, and he actually agreed with Chu Lian's statement for the first time, "That's right."
Wen Xuan turned his head and glanced at Jian Yi.
"Senior brother, I know what you think." Simple said, "but you must understand that the reason why he is taking the risk to bring this solution to us is all because he wanted to harm us in the first place."
Chu Lian took a deep look at Jian, and suddenly felt that this kid was much more pleasing to the eye than before, "That's it."
It was in such a strange place that the two sympathized with each other inexplicably.
Wenxuan was attacked by the two of them, and was completely unable to compete. He could only watch Chu Lian carry the shadow demon and leave.
Before leaving, Chu Lian glared at Wenxuan, "If I found out what you said just now, don't blame me for beating you to death!"
Wen Xuan sighed, finally not insisting too much. After all, that Shadow Demon was indeed not a kind person, but Wenxuan was willing to say a word for him after getting to know him.
"Senior brother..." Jian Yi was still a little worried, and wanted to persuade him more.
Wen Xuan had already thought about it himself, so he just smiled at him and pointed to the jade slip in his hand, "Fortunately, we have already got this in our hands, you can take a look."
Jian Yi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and sank his mind into the jade slip.
He looked at it seriously for a moment, and then his expression gradually became subtle.
"What?" Wen Xuan asked him.
Jian Jian directly handed the jade slip to Wen Xuan.
Wenxuan was shocked when he saw that the material needed was written at the beginning of this solution. Some time ago, he was really tossed with the word "material". Fortunately, after a closer look, he found that the materials needed here are not difficult to find, and they can be bought in any immortal city.
The trouble is the next steps.
Those materials are just bait to attract the Gu worms in their bodies. After the Gu worms are attracted, they have to use a kind of beast-fighting technique in Qingyumen to draw the Gu worms out of their bodies.
Wen Xuan glanced at the direction Chu Lian left, with a helpless expression on his face.
"I knew I should take a look first." There was a bit of regret on Yi Jian's face.
Wen Xuan was more open-minded than him, "Even if Master didn't capture him, could he still go back to Qingyumen and learn the beast-fighting technique?"
Simple to think about, too. The Shadow Demon was originally a mess in Qingyumen, and even this solution can be forgotten, and it needs to be exchanged again. It is obviously unreliable to expect him to be able to use that beast-fighting technique.
Fortunately, this is not the only way to unlock the Tongxin Gu.
This jade slip also wrote another kind.
This solution requires a bit more troublesome materials than the previous one, but Murong Feng can always find all of them. Next, it is necessary for the two people who are caught in the gu to communicate with each other.
Heart-to-heart? This statement was too vague, and Wen Xuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Continuing to read, the jade slip gave a more detailed explanation of these four words. To put it simply, after preparing the corresponding materials, the two grind the materials into powder, swallow them into their stomachs, and then sit opposite each other, using a special technique, so that they can sneak into each other at the same time. Atrium, have the opportunity to spy on each other's mind.
Tongxin Gu is a kind of Gu worm that feeds on the barriers between the two hearts. If they can completely reach the depths of each other's heart in this way and eliminate this barrier, the concentric Gu in their bodies will both die.
Wenxuan knew why the simple expression was subtle before, and his expression was equally subtle.
But at the same time, Wenxuan was eager to try. On the one hand, he felt that it was not very kind to spy on the other party's heart for this reason, and on the other hand, he couldn't help but hold a small expectation for it.
"You can only choose this second method." Jian Jian frowned and said, "Unfortunately, the success rate is not high."
Wen Xuan concealed his expectations and nodded vaguely.
Because they had already made an agreement with Murong Feng to meet again in An Feng City, the two of them didn't have any more troubles and immediately rushed towards An Feng City.
The journey will take about three to five days. Every night, Jian Jian locks himself in the room alone, and only occasionally shows a little fluctuation of the formation. Wen Xuan thought of the introduction to the formation, and guessed that he was just trying to learn the formation, so he didn't care about it.
Until one morning, Jian Yi suddenly said that he wanted to take a long detour.
"Suddenly I remembered that what I had prepared was not enough, so I had to go around there to find it." That's how Jian Yi explained.
It was just a detour, Wenxuan nods in agreement without doubting it.
What Wenxuan didn't know was that if they hadn't detoured that long way, they would have stopped in a small town that night.
Just that night, a few unfamiliar monks stopped in the town for a short rest.
When the moon was on the branches, a lot of black mist from unknown sources slowly emerged from the ground, wrapping these cultivators in layers, no light penetrated, and no sound came out. In the early morning of the next day, the black fog finally dissipated, and the mortals in the small town were shocked to find that there were only a handful of dead bones left among the few monks who were not low in cultivation.
This incident caused an uproar in the cultivation world of Beining. All the spearheads were directed at the powerful demon who appeared out of nowhere. For a time, everyone was in danger, and the monks of the sect all hid in the guardian of the sect. In the mountain formation, the loose cultivators also began to hug one by one, and only those real people of Nascent Soul were still trying to search for the traces of the monsters.
When this matter came to Wen Xuan's ears, five days later, Jian Jian had already found what he said had to be detoured, and they were only one step away from An Fengcheng.
"It's actually such a ferocious monster." Wen Xuan's face inevitably turned pale.
"Yeah." Jian Jian opened his harmless eyes, as if he didn't know anything, "Senior brother, we must be more careful in the future."
Wen Xuan sighed, and finally stepped into the gate of Anfeng City with Jian Jian.
In Anfeng City, there was naturally a lot of turmoil, and several major commercial firms jointly strengthened their guards and protected several city gates. When they found the high-rise building of Wanhui Commercial Bank, they had no idea how many guards they had gone through.
Inside the tall building, Murong Feng was sweating profusely, desperately trying to cleanse the weak demonic energy from the baby, for fear of taking a step back and letting this demonic energy be discovered by others.
"Friend Wen." Seeing Wen Xuan, she bowed happily.
Then, without waiting for Wen Xuan to speak, she took the initiative to say, "I have an unkind request. If possible, I hope you can hand this child to me to raise in the future."
Wen Xuan was taken aback, "Is this true?"
Murong Feng's expression was very firm, "At this moment, probably only my Wanhui firm can protect this child's well-being."
To be honest, Wenxuan has no opinion on this, after all, Murong Feng's love for this child has been in his eyes for many days. He was just a little surprised. At this time, this child was undoubtedly a hot potato, and Murong Feng was a businessman, so she never thought she would want to take this trouble into her own hands.
Wen Xuan glanced at Jian Yi.
Jian Yi was not at all surprised by this, just smiled and said, "To be honest, we are also having a headache and what should we do with this child."
This is the big truth. They originally thought that Zhao Feiyu would be able to raise the child, but they didn't have time to mention this, and the Shadow Demon was taken away by Chu Lian. Murong Feng's remarks really solved the urgent need.
"But Fairy Murong," Wen Xuan asked, "Have you really thought about it?"
"Of course." Murong Feng turned his gaze to the sleeping baby with gentle eyes, "I have never been as clear as this time, knowing what to do."
Seeing this, Wen Xuan exhaled and cupped his hands gratefully, "Then this child will continue to ask Fairy Murong."
Murong Feng happily answered, and then clapped his hands to summon the attendants, ordering them to entertain Wen Xuan and the two of them well.
Wenxuan shook his head, indicating that he was going to go back to Shuiyunzong next.
"Alright." Murong Feng said, "There is a mountain gate to go back to, it is much safer than these outside places."
"We still have one more thing to ask for." Wen Xuan repeated the materials needed to remove the Tongxin Gu.
With the relationship between the two sides, Murong Feng naturally would not embarrass them about this kind of thing, and agreed immediately. After that, Wenxuan and Jianjian rested for a while in this tall building, and Murong Feng found what they needed and ordered someone to deliver it to them.
In this way, everything is done, and they can set off and return to the mountain gate. As for unlocking the Concentric Gu, Wenxuan's cave in the Shuiyun Sect is the most suitable place.
Before leaving, Wen Xuan went to say goodbye to Murong Feng, counted out a handful of spirit stones and handed them over, which was considered the cost of purchasing those materials.
Murong Feng immediately frowned, "Fellow Daoist Wen, what do you mean? You have helped me so much, do you think I still need your money?"
"Brothers still have to settle accounts." Wen Xuan smiled, "Although I have helped you before, you are clearly paid, and you are not owed anything."
Seeing that Murong Feng was still frowning tightly, Wen Xuan turned his attention to the baby next to her, "Besides, you've helped us a lot by being willing to raise him."
Hearing this, Murong Feng's expression became subtle, and she said with a smile, "I adopted him, not to help you. On the contrary, you are willing to give him to me, but you have given me a great deal. Great kindness."
Wen Xuan was slightly surprised. He knew that the woman in front of him liked this child, but he didn't expect to have reached this point.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, I need this child. There is one thing I have never told you. In fact, even if the fire poison will be resolved, I have already..." Murong Feng put her palm on her stomach, her face pale Showing a kind of sadness, "I can never be a mother again."
Wen Xuan was shocked. But at the moment of hearing this sentence, many details poured into his mind. When he first saw this child, Murong Feng showed a surprising kindness, so this was the reason.
"That's the case," Wen Xuan said with a serious expression, "From now on, please consider him a few times."
Murong Feng smiled and nodded, "It must be so."
Wenxuan looked at the spirit stones in front of him again, "As for these..."
Seeing that he was still insisting, Murong Feng didn't bother about these small fortunes anymore, "Forget it, since you live so innocently, I won't force you to accept my love."
After all, she took half and pushed the other half back, "Friendship price."
In this way, Wen Xuan finally had nothing to say, and thanked him with a smile.
Then he left Anfeng City with Jian Jian and traveled for a few days.
In the past few days, the devil still came out in the middle of the night to kill people, making people panic. He couldn't afford to provoke the mountain protection formation of the big sect, but there were several groups of those loose cultivators and small sects who were poisoned.
Wen Xuan and Jian Jian went all the way smoothly. They often avoided the spot attacked by the devil, and finally arrived at the mountain gate of Shuiyunzong without any risk.
When the patrolling disciples saw them, they greeted them and greeted them, "Senior Brother Wen."
Wen Xuan replied with a smile, and was about to take Jian Jian into the mountain, but he felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but look back at the patrolling disciple.
He knew this disciple. In the past, every time he returned to the mountain, if this disciple was on duty, he would definitely greet him with great enthusiasm. And this time, although this person also came out to greet him, his attitude was only lukewarm, and even a little hesitant to say something, as if he had something on his mind.
"Could it be that something happened in the sect?" Wen Xuan asked.
The disciple was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly, and said somewhat indifferently, "No, it's okay." After that, before Wen Xuan could continue to ask questions, he quickly backed away, looking as if he had retreated.
Wen Xuan thought it was very strange, but he also thought that this disciple might just be in a bad mood and not too entangled.
When Wenxuan walked all the way to his cave in Shuiyunzong, this wrong feeling became more and more obvious.
Before he left, the junior disciples in the sect had always had two attitudes toward him, some were disgusted and disdainful, and even more liked to worship him. But this time back to the mountain, it seemed that every disciple had a colder attitude towards him, and very few even took the initiative to say hello. Even if he took the initiative to say hello to him, he was just like the patrol disciple before, with a kind of weirdness that he was hesitant to say.
Wen Xuan pretended to be okay, and continued to chat and laugh with Jian Yi all the way, until the fork between the two people's residence, let Jian Yi go back to see his teacher first, and then he took a deep breath and sank his face. Decided to ask someone quickly.
He has been in Shuiyunzong for more than fifty years, and he has never encountered such a thing.
