Utterly Ignorant

Chapter 98: Success is about to fail

Views:

Yin Wan didn't come back to her senses: "What blood?"

"Just a little bit is enough. You and the eldest princess are both of the royal bloodline of the Cang Luan Clan. Your blood also has the ability to control the token."

Mu Lin pointed at the azure vortex that suddenly appeared in front of him, "The center of the formation is right here, hurry!"

Yin Wan had no time to hesitate and cut a line with her fingertips. Two drops of blood fell, but they did not fall down. Instead, they flew over their heads, slowly floated into the whirlpool, and disappeared.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Yin Wan felt the vortex spinning slower and slower, the color becoming lighter and lighter, and the light becoming weaker and weaker. After a moment, the vortex turned into a tiny silver ring flying towards her, and Yin Wan subconsciously caught it.

The dim light floats, and it is exquisite and elegant. It looks more like a magic weapon than when it was worn on Biyuan's hand. It is truly inconspicuous.

"Try to control it with your spirit."

Yin Wan held the silver ring in her palm, closed her eyes as if she had sensed something, and her red lips moved unconsciously. Mu Lin watched quietly from the side. She had learned a little lip reading when she was aphasic, so she could roughly understand what Yin Wan was mumbling.

The scene around them faded like the remnant of snow. The void beneath their feet, with Yin Wan as the center, gradually turned into snow-white ground, extending to the end of their sight. As Yin Wan stopped chanting and slowly opened her eyes, Mu Lin looked around.

The two of them were in the center of a huge circular space. The dome was shrouded in a light blue halo, the ground was white under their feet, and the walls were engraved with intricate dark purple patterns.

"This is where?"

"The bottom floor. Now I have temporarily mastered this space array and moved us here. I can sense that the things we are looking for are on this floor, but it is hard to say where they are exactly... Bi Yuan is really a scheming guy!"

Mu Lin was also very emotional: "The eldest princess is indeed cautious."

Not only was the magic circle activated, but the treasures were also hidden tightly. No wonder they were so confident in pursuing love without even sending anyone to monitor them.

Yin Wan was a little annoyed: "Should we split up and look for it?"

Mu Lin suddenly felt that he could use his immortal power. After thinking for a while, he called Yin Wan and said, "Don't bother with that. Just bleed a little more. Oh, bleed more this time."

"… Fine."

Mu Lin seemed to be inconspicuous, but she could always find a breakthrough in a strange way. Along the way, Yin Wan also became more convinced of her.

Having come this far, she couldn't let her efforts go to waste. Even though Yin Wan was pampered and afraid of pain, she still made up her mind to cut her wrist.

Blood oozed out almost immediately where the blade passed, and the blood fell to the ground in a line, an eerie red.

Mu Lin performed an ancient and complex immortal technique, and a trace of immortal power was injected into the thick blood. The shape of the blood changed and finally pointed to the north.

"It should be in that direction. Let's go and take a look."

Mu Lin waved his sleeves casually, and the blood on the ground disappeared without leaving a trace.

Yin Wan followed Mu Lin closely and walked to the northernmost mountain wall. Before she could see anything, Mu Lin broke the tiny magic circle and a door appeared in front of them.

The two of them easily entered the treasure house of the Cang Luan clan.

There was almost no place to step! A dazzling array of magical objects and treasures were piled up randomly, and countless boxes and bottles were stacked on one side. I wonder what good things were stored inside.

Even though Yin Wan was a princess of the Cangluan clan, she had never known that her family was so wealthy. When she thought that so many resources were in Bi Yuan's hands, she was extremely jealous!

Mu Lin didn't have any feelings about it. She had looted the Lu family's treasure house in the Demon Realm, and the treasures here were not much more than that.

"You look for the lotus bracelet you want, and I'll look for the Nine-Aperture Divine Ganoderma I need. After I find it, I'll use the magic weapon to replace it. Be careful not to take other things randomly, so as not to be discovered when Bi Yuan counts."

"I know."

The two of them then split up and Yin Wan first went through the boxes left by her late mother and soon found the lotus bracelet she wanted. Mu Lin didn't have to spend much effort because the Nine-Aperture Divine Ganoderma, as the treasure of Penglai Island, was placed in the most conspicuous position.

"Chewing the five-colored Ganoderma lucidum, the fragrance spreads to the nine orifices." The name of the Nine-Aperture Divine Ganoderma comes from this poem. Through the translucent glass box, Mu Lin clearly saw the wonderful spiritual object emitting five-colored light.

However, the glass box could not be opened, so Mu Lin directly put it into the Xuyou bag with the box. Then he took out the two spiritual beads he got from the Lu family, input his immortal power into them and transformed them into a lotus bracelet and a glass box containing the Nine-Aperture Divine Ganoderma, and put them back to their original places.

It looks quite decent, but I wonder if it is seamless.

"Bi Yuan is not that easy to fool, will she be exposed?"

"No problem, this is a high-level magic weapon. The lotus bracelet will not be exposed. As long as the princess does not intend to refine the Nine-aperture Divine Ganoderma, there will be no problem."

Yin Wan was relieved. Bi Yuan didn't know the secret of the lotus bracelet. It was an old bracelet that was casually thrown there, so it was normal that she didn't remember it. As for the Nine-Aperture Divine Ganoderma, as a spiritual medicine that had been worshipped for endless years, its symbolic significance was even higher than its actual utility. Using it would not improve her cultivation, so Bi Yuan would be a fool to do anything with it.

"Walk."

After getting everything, the two of them left. Mu Lin restored the illusion, and Yin Wan manipulated the token to send the two back to their original positions. Mu Lin put the token back into the center of the formation, restoring the formation to its original appearance.

The two people's tense nerves finally relaxed. Mu Lin smiled and said, "You have formed a connection with the token. In the future, you will be its other owner. You can control it when the princess is not around."

Yin Wan waved her hands. "I can't get into the treasure room, so what's the point of manipulating it?"

"You don't think that the only valuable thing here is the treasure room, do you?" Mu Lin looked at her helplessly: "Your ancestors spent countless efforts to hollow out Fuyao Peak and used such a huge magic array. There must be many secrets buried in it."

Yin Wan only cares about the lotus bracelet now, and doesn't care much about other things: "It's useless for me to know the secret of my ancestors..."

"Aren't you curious that the princess was able to break through to the Immortal Lord within three thousand years? You went to such great lengths to find the Lotus Bracelet, it must not be to commemorate the old friend, right? If I'm not mistaken, there must be something like a secret manual of inheritance in the Lotus Bracelet... Don't worry, I have no intention of exploring the secrets of the Cangluan royal family. I said this to make you understand that no matter how talented Princess Biyuan is, it is difficult for her to quickly improve her cultivation without the inheritance of the previous generation, but she did it this way. Why do you think it is?"

Yin Wan suddenly had an idea and tried to speak: "Because... there are other inheritances or secret manuals here!"

"You're not too stupid. If the eldest princess can do it, you can certainly seize the opportunity as well."

Yin Wan looked at Mu Lin from head to toe as if she was meeting her for the first time, and said sarcastically: "You have more tricks than a lotus root. It's a pity that you don't go to the human world to fight in the palace."

Who doesn't have secrets? She is so young but her strength is higher than Bi Yuan's. Who knows what kind of ambitions are hidden under her calm face... This woman came to Penglai to obtain the Nine-orifice Divine Ganoderma, and Emperor Zhechuan must not know it. If she just coveted this treasure, no, she would not do it without a purpose, she has a bigger plan. But, just as Mu Lin would not explore her secrets, she was too lazy to pry into Mu Lin's mind.

Keep each other's leverage and benefit each other.

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm just more sensitive to methods of improving my cultivation... Okay, Princess Yinwan, we should get out."

"Don't forget that this princess hates you. When you go out, show that you hate me."

"I think you should go to the palace to fight. How can the concubines in the six palaces be as fast as you in getting into the role?"

"… "

The maids were waiting outside dutifully, and when they saw the two girls coming out one after another, they hurried forward to greet them.

Everyone could sense the tense atmosphere between the two. Yin Wan barely concealed her disgust, snorted at Mu Lin and left. Mu Lin was no better, sneering at her back, as if he was disdainful of going the same way as her. After a long while, he took the maid down the mountain.

As soon as she returned to the west palace, Mu Lin dismissed her attendants. Her spiritual awareness covered the entire palace, so she was not afraid of anyone coming to spy and disturb her. She carefully set up three protective magic circles around her to prevent the immortal spirit of the Nine-orifice Divine Ganoderma from leaking out and being noticed by others. Then she took out the colored glass box.

The Nine-Aperture Divine Ganoderma in the box remained intact, and was not affected by her taking it out of Fuyao Peak. Mu Lin felt relieved. The glass box was restricted, and it was not easy to open and take out the items, but Mu Lin had learned spells for so many years, and he could always do it with a little more time. It took Mu Lin nearly an hour to break the restriction. The moment the glass box was opened, the clear and slightly sweet fairy spirit overflowed. Thanks to Mu Lin's preparation, the fairy spirit quickly filled the entire magic circle.

In order to avoid more trouble, Mu Lin planned to refine it as soon as possible. She decided to follow the original plan and slowly melt the Nine-aperture Divine Ganoderma with spiritual fire. The next second, a dark blue spiritual fire burst out from Mu Lin's hand, and the Nine-aperture Divine Ganoderma was wrapped in the flame. Under her calm gaze, it became smaller little by little, and finally turned into a drop of light purple liquid, which was controlled by the immortal power above the fingertips.

Mu Lin was about to put it away when a familiar aura suddenly appeared outside the palace gate.

Oh no, why is Master here at this time

Mu Lin's eyelids twitched, and beads of sweat oozed out of her forehead. Her spiritual sense was not as strong as her master's. If she continued to spy, she would be easily discovered by her master... She couldn't let her master get suspicious!

Mu Lin felt a kind of inexplicable panic, and couldn't care too much at this moment, and quickly withdrew his consciousness. Inevitably, the action was hurried, and his fingertips accidentally touched the Nine Apertures Divine Ganoderma Spiritual Liquid. A strange thing happened in the next second. The moment they touched, the lavender liquid actually disappeared directly from the air!

Mu Lin felt his fingertips getting warm, and a stream of pure spiritual energy quickly flowed along the meridians at his fingertips to his limbs and bones.

Oops…

Mu Lin took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Regardless of the abnormality in his body, he forced the immortal energy in the magic circle to gather and compress it into the jade bottle, and then destroyed the magic circle as quickly as possible.

Just then, the master came in.
