"Didn't you mention the slightest bit of invitation?"
After taking back the Tiandu Gu corpse, Yun He, who was hiding in the dark, looked a little uncertain.
Previously, the Tiandu Gu Corpse had entered the opponent's camp under his control, and they expressed their desire to acquire a large number of puppets, many of which were comparable to the foundation-building monks and were quite expensive.
But Ning Manrou did not mention the slightest intention of using this in exchange for Tiandu Gu Corpse taking action.
He even said with joy that the order placed by Tiandu Gu Corpse was not small, so he hoped to give them more time to make the puppets, and the order could be completed in up to three months.
For this reason, in order to make the play more realistic, Yunhe endured the pain and took out a large sum of spiritual stones as a deposit.
Of course, in addition to Ning Manrou, the self-proclaimed sect leader of the "Secret Puppet Sect", Tiandu Gu Corpse also successfully met the guest elder of the Secret Puppet Sect, a Danjie who wore a large cloak and rarely spoke. Monk.
This result made Yun He's slight vigilance rise again.
If the other party really wants to take back the sect's robbed property, he should invite more alchemy monks. This is a person's normal thinking.
After all, Yun He had already thought of the conditions for her to get rid of Tiandu Gu Corpse.
If it is true, as Ning Manrou said, that the other party only has one early-stage pill formation, and she already has two early-stage pill formations including Elder Keqing and Yunhe, wouldn't one more person make things go smoother just to be on the safe side? ?
'Perhaps she is worried that just one 'Ke Qing Elder' cannot protect her from the covetousness of two early-stage pill-forming monks? '
Yun He shook his head.
'Or think differently. Are you worried that there are too many alchemy monks involved and that the 'elder guest' won't be able to successfully subdue them? ! '
This is the thought.
Yun He was shocked.
This technique is a bit familiar.
Tighten and gather divergent thoughts.
'No, not entirely sure, but not completely ruled out. '
Yun He, who came out of the darkness, took a deep look at the direction of the Secret Puppet Sect's station, then turned and left.
The next few days.
Yunhe increased the frequency of placing alchemy monks around the cave, trying to learn some news about the Tantric Puppet Sect from their mouths.
As a result, we got more or less information.
The Secret Puppet Sect, a sect that specializes in making and selling puppets, is not very big, but most of the monks have given good or even very high evaluations to the puppets they sell.
In fact.
The two puppets that Yun He bought were comparable to those of monks in the late stage of Qi Refining, and he also felt that they were both good in terms of quality and ability.
Although he knew nothing about puppets, he could tell whether the workmanship was good or not.
At the same time, he also learned that the leader of the Tantric Puppet Sect is an alchemy monk, and he has a good reputation among some small groups of alchemy monks. However, for other monks in the Tantric Puppet Sect, or elders such as Ke Qing, Very little is known.
"It seems that we really need to step in and try to find out."
It may be dangerous, but Yunhe now has enough confidence in his ability to protect himself.
For the rare "blood crystal wood", he thought he could find out.
quickly.
Three days later, Ning Manrou found Yunhe again and said that she had locked the location of the sect's traitor and hoped that Yunhe could help. By then, the "Blood Crystal Wood" would be given to him with both hands.
In response, Yun He just followed Ning Manrou out of the city expressionlessly.
"Elder Jiang, this is Senior Yun Heyun."
"Senior Yun, this is our guest elder, Elder Jiang."
Ning Manrou introduced the monk wearing a large cloak to Yun He very naturally.
"Senior, please forgive me. Elder Jiang was injured on his face when he was young. Although he was treated well later, his dressing habits have not changed. Moreover, he has a coughing personality. Elder Jiang prefers to be quiet and rarely goes out."
To put it nicely, it means that he likes peace and quiet, but to say it worse, he is withdrawn.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang."
Yun He bowed his head with a smile.
Although it was obscured by the cloak, one could still clearly see the somewhat old face underneath.
Throughout the world of cultivating immortals, there are countless monks with various weird hobbies and habits, and the higher the level of cultivation, the weirder the temperament of the monks.
This has a lot to do with the fact that he has been practicing in seclusion for decades, living with loneliness, competing with his longevity, and coexisting with his cultivation.
Who can reach the alchemy stage in cultivation, who has not practiced in seclusion for more than ten years or even decades?
This is also one of the reasons why some Nascent Soul monks are called Nascent Soul monsters behind their backs, because monks in the Nascent Soul stage have more eccentric personalities, and some have bad tempers. They kill people and destroy families at every turn, all based on personal preference.
"Fellow Daoist Yun."
No matter how eccentric Elder Jiang was, when he faced Yun He, who was also in the early stage of forming pills, he showed respect and dignity and gave him a distant salute.
"Fellow Daoist Ning, are there just three of us?"
Yun He glanced around, half-lidded his eyes and smiled.
Hearing this, Ning Manrou nodded solemnly.
"I think that the number of people in this matter is more important than large numbers. You must be extremely careful when the traitor is hiding in one place. If there are too many of us, it will be easier to attract attention. Anyway, it all depends on Senior Yun and Elder Jiang at this time. Brother Ji is just the icing on the cake and cannot influence the situation."
"That's right." Yun He didn't object, "Then I'll ask Fellow Daoist Ning to lead the way. I'm very important to the 'Blood Crystal Wood'."
"Senior Yun, please rest assured. Two seniors have made it possible again!"
As he said that, he looked at Elder Jiang again.
"Thank you, elder."
Elder Jiang didn't say anything more, he just waved his large robe, rolled up Ning Manrou and fled towards the distance.
Yun He looked at the slow-moving black light, his eyes flashed, and he immediately turned into a stream of light and followed.
Two streams of light quickly crossed over the sea of clouds.
Some monks who met by chance on the way changed their expressions and stepped aside when they sensed the aura of the two alchemy-forming seniors. They watched the two alchemy-forming seniors leave with respectful expressions.
After they left, each of them took a deep breath, feeling awe, but also a bit of longing and desire.
"Friend Daoist Ning."
During the flight, Yun He suddenly said.
"Senior Yun?"
For Yunhe, Ning Manrou showed enough respect from beginning to end.
Wrapped in the stream of light by Elder Jiang, she looked at Yun He not far away with a little doubt, not knowing what Yun He wanted to say at this time.
Then she saw the vague and somewhat meaningful smile on Yun He's face, "Don't you think Fellow Daoist Ning is worried about taking me to the destination? I used 'not to interfere' as a condition, and from now on Did the opponent get 'Blood Crystal Wood' in exchange for it?"
After hearing this, Ning Manrou's pretty face suddenly showed a stiff look.
"What does this mean, fellow Taoist Yun?"
But Elder Jiang, who was holding her tightly, spoke up at this moment, and looked at Yun He with an expression that was not so friendly.
Before Yun He could speak, Ning Manrou also recovered from his question, forced out a somewhat ugly smile and said:
"To be honest with you seniors, the 'Blood Crystal Wood' is considered a high-grade spiritual wood for our sect. It was banned by the previous sect leader. If there is no sect leader's token to lift the ban, even if it is taken away and the ban is forcibly broken, it will only be destroyed. This tree."
After a pause, she continued: "Besides, such a villain who betrayed the sect, would Senior Yun believe what he said?"
Yun He couldn't help but became speechless and chuckled, "I'm joking."
After saying that, he stopped talking and just focused on flying away.
Upon seeing this, Ning Manrou and Elder Jiang looked at each other without any trace, and they both saw a little fear and vigilance in each other's eyes.
And this time the journey lasted for another three days.
Before the three of them arrived at their destination, they landed on a desolate cloud island with only a sparse forest to recover their mana.
Under the gaze of Yun He and Elder Jiang, Ning Manrou looked into the distance, as if waiting for something.
Not long after.
An exquisite puppet, as small as a fish with two pairs of wings like a beast in the clouds, shot out from the clouds and landed in Ning Manrou's hands.
"Elder Jiang, Senior Yun, and the traitors are still here and have not left."
She was beaming with excitement and joy.
"Okay! Once we recover our mana, we will launch a sneak attack." Elder Jiang nodded.
"Yeah?"
Yun He also walked to the edge of Yun Island and looked into the distance.
In the distance, it seems that the shadow of another cloud island can be vaguely seen.
Ning Manrou bit her teeth lightly, as if she had made some decision. She patted the storage bag and carefully took out a small jade bottle, poured out two pills that were snow-white and translucent and exuded a good medicinal fragrance, and handed them to Yun respectively. He and Elder Jiang.
He also explained: "Senior Yun, this is a third-level Yuan Yuan Return Pill. It can quickly restore mana. It is also very useful even for pill-forming monks."
"oh?"
Yun He was a little surprised.
'I'm really willing to give it up. '
After seeing Elder Jiang swallow the pill without ceremony and start practicing immediately, Yun He gently rubbed the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
'There's nothing wrong with the elixir. '
As an alchemist, Yun He still has this level of confidence.
Immediately, he sat cross-legged on the shore, close to the vast sea of clouds, and entered into cultivation.
After seeing that Yun He was also focused on recovering his mana, Ning Manrou let out a sigh of relief, sat down not far from Elder Jiang, summoned a few seemingly ordinary puppets to be cautious, and closed her eyes.
But when the two of them weren't paying attention, Yun He gently threw a bag of spiritual insects from the edge of Yun Island.
Elder Jiang was practicing, and with Yunhe's current cultivation and spiritual consciousness, it was too easy to hide from Ning Manrou, who was only in the late stage of foundation building.
Time seemed to pass quickly in peace.
midnight.
Elder Jiang and Ning Manrou, who were practicing, opened their eyes almost at the same time.
The two looked at each other silently, and then looked at Yun He, who was sitting motionless on the shore.
Elder Jiang looked slightly relaxed and nodded to Ning Manrou.
Immediately, there was a seemingly ordinary wooden sign in Ning Manrou's hand. After kissing her palm, it quietly turned into ashes.
At the same time, on the island far away from this island, there were also black shadows jumping into the sea of clouds in the night.
'This person is too vigilant and cannot be fully prepared. But just wait a little longer.'
Elder Jiang once again looked at Yun He who was sitting on the shore to make sure that he was still motionless. His seemingly cloudy eyes returned to clarity, and a cold light flashed away.
But the next moment.
A soft voice suddenly sounded from behind him, almost making him jump up in fright.
"I know what's wrong. There's no problem with the elixir, there's no problem with the island, there's no problem with the trees, there's no problem with the puppets. But there's a problem with the elixir plus the special spiritual wood embedded in those puppets."
Ning Manrou's bright eyes widened and she stared in disbelief at the figure who appeared behind Elder Jiang at an unknown time, eyes filled with fear.
How can it be? !
From the corner of her eye, she looked at 'Yun He' sitting on the shore.
But he saw that 'Yun He' was like a bubble, slowly turning into strands of golden threads and dissipating.
Phantom?
Elder Jiang was worthy of being a pill-forming monk, and his reaction speed was fast enough. After hurriedly taking a picture of the magic talisman on his body, he turned around in a hurry and tried to distance himself from the figure behind him.
"Ancient treasure?!"
But when he saw the golden bronze brick in Yun He's hand, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
The huge roaring sound shook the entire Cloud Island.
The protection transformed by Elder Jiang's spiritual talisman was directly shattered by the impact of the bronze brick. If it weren't for the strange clothes he was wearing, Yun He's blow just now would have been enough to kill him.
But despite this, Elder Jiang's face was also pale and he kept spitting out blood from his mouth.
While flying upside down, he stared at Yun He fiercely.
He didn't understand how Yun He felt there was a problem with the elixir.
The elixir and the "ecstasy wood" embedded in the puppets summoned by Ning Manrou complement each other. Even the monks in the middle stage of elixir formation may have their spiritual consciousness quietly paralyzed, let alone He is a monk in the early stage of forming pills.
"Formation!"
Seeing that Yun He was about to bully him again, Elder Jiang quickly took out a pair of hook-shaped magic weapons and shouted with a ferocious expression.
Only then did Ning Manrou recover from her shock and quickly made the seal.
Under the cloud island, puppets floated up one after another.
Buzz——
Suddenly.
A red-gold cloud-like object flashed past, making her eyes glazed over.
Because she found out.
After the red-gold cloud-like thing flew by, the several puppets she had hidden under the island with restraints in advance disappeared completely without a trace before they could make any moves.
"No, no more?"
It felt like it had been wiped away from the beginning to the end by something, or rather eaten.
Eat? !
Because some fellow Taoists may have misunderstood the previous title of the book, after discussing with the editor, the title of this book was changed, which does not affect reading. Thank you all fellow Taoists for your support.
