At dawn outside the Ponderosa Valley, the boundaries of the crowd are extremely clear.
On the Hidden Valley side, not looking at Zheng Shi and Heng Yu who were deliberately staying away. Among the four people standing together, Murong Xiu Ming, the one with the lowest cultivation level, was of the second grade. On the other hand, on the Wanhua Valley side, his face had already been tense after a night of nervousness. Huai Cao Shi, who showed signs of fatigue, had the highest level of cultivation, but he was only at the second level.
When Mu Qing stood up, Huai Cao Shi and the others crossed the crowd in Hidden Valley and rushed toward Mu Qing, protecting Mu Qing behind them intentionally or unintentionally.
"I'm fine."
There was no trace of depression on Mu Qing's pale face, and he smiled broadly as everyone looked at him with full eyes.
Although he lost a lot of blood, he later absorbed spiritual energy many times and replenished part of his blood essence. At this time, Mu Qing's eyes were bright enough to look at the morning light behind him.
He moved to separate Huai Cao Shi and Ning Chu who were blocking him in front of him, and looked forward. His eyes stayed on Murong Yin for a moment longer, then returned to Xuan Wu's face: "She has successfully broken through, it's your turn to fulfill your promise."
"Suzaku really made a breakthrough? How did you do it?" Bai Hu's eyes glanced back from Mu Qing. At this time, the aura on Suzaku was indeed different from before, but this thing was still too unbelievable.
Probably having exhausted all his patience with Hidden Valley on Zhuque, Mu Qing frowned and moved a few steps to the side. The people in Wanhua Valley behind him also followed suit, revealing Suzaku's figure sitting cross-legged and meditating in front of everyone in Hidden Valley. within sight.
The people in Hidden Valley were all looking at Suzaku. The eyes of Murong Yin and the others who had just arrived were shaking the most. They were really shocked. After Xuanwu was silent for a few more breaths, he looked at Mu Qing and nodded and said: "The ones on Suzaku's body are The breath is unmistakable, I didn’t expect your method to be really effective.”
The three of them, Murong Yin, all turned to look at Xuanwu. Xuanwu briefly and comprehensively told what had happened and the agreement between him and Mu Qing. In addition, Murong Xiuming, who was eager to regain his goodwill, the three of them had no idea what happened last night. Finally I have a clearer understanding.
When Murong Xiuming added insult to injury and talked about how Mu Qing brutally killed the Wei Qu brothers, Mu Qing did not sit idle and quietly stretched out his hand and put it on Huai Cao Shi's wrist.
Huai Cao Shi let out a light sigh and felt a stream of true energy rushing into her body, pure and warm. When she was about to move her hand away, Mu Qing directly held her wrist.
Huai Cao Shi frowned and raised his eyes, his eyes full of rejection and worry.
Mu Qing shook his head slightly, and his eyes fell on the old man in black robes in front of him. Although I have never seen each other before, from the central position where the other party stands, the attitude when Xuanwu looks at the other party, and the most important thing is the noisy voice of Murong Xiuming, the identity of the other party is already revealed, Hidden Valley Palm Ruler, the guardian of the Murong family ——Murong Yin.
Mu Qing was already imagining the worst outcome, thinking about how to help everyone in Wanhua Valley escape if they immediately regretted it and refused to recognize anyone.
After all, the small world of a monk's human body is not as vast as the real world.
Therefore, when there is a fierce battle, the consumption rate of the true energy in the body will always be much faster than the replenishment rate.
The absorption of true energy is affected by many factors, the most important of which are the three major aspects: skill, physical constitution, and environment.
The Wanhua Heart Sutra is already a top-level internal skill in the spiritual realm, but last night was not at a training resort, and Huai Cao Shi himself did not have any special physique. After breathing silently for most of the night, he just recovered. In the past, it was 30% to 40% infuriating.
A steady stream of true energy entered Huai Cao Shi's body. She found that although Mu Qing's face was pale, his energy and energy had not dropped, and his expression relaxed slightly. She probably guessed that Mu Qing had gained something while helping Suzaku.
"Are you Mu Qing?"
A hoarse and low voice sounded in the open space among the crowd. There was a rare silence in the steamy air at dawn. Even Murong Xiuming, who was opening his mouth, forced back his words.
Mu Qing was sure who had spoken almost instantly, raised his eyes, glanced at Murong Yin, and his eyes fell on the cold jade box in his hand, "I think they have made it very clear, Zhang Lu Can we keep our promise?”
Murong Yin slightly held the cold jade box in the master's hand, "You want to use it to save Huai Fenghua, isn't it a waste?"
When I received the message from Huangsong Valley last night that Suzaku was about to break through, Murong Yin's face was really ugly. Almost without hesitation, he went to the family's forbidden area and put all the earth spirit roots he could use into the cold jade box. Just as Xuanwu considered it, in the value judgment system in Murong Yin's heart, a Suzaku who could break through to the extraordinary level occupied a very high position.
He never expected that Suzaku had made a breakthrough. Now that he was happy, he was naturally reconsidering how to deal with his relationship with Mu Qing.
Mu Qing sneered, always on guard against their attacks, looked at Xuanwu and sneered: "That's it?"
"Young man, why are you so angry? Xuanwu promised you. It's between you and him, but I didn't agree." Murong Yin's voice was unhurried, and he looked at the change of emotions on Mu Qing's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He smiled a little more, and this kid helped Suzaku succeed in breaking through. It was indeed a great achievement. He looked at Mu Qing and said: "And this time the weight of the earth spirit root is a little more than the previous one. You can't use it like this." many."
Mu Qing glanced sideways at Xuanwu, looked at Murong Yin and said solemnly: "With his status, he can't represent your Hidden Valley, or maybe he didn't make it clear to you just now?"
"The earth spirit roots I want are all you brought this time."
"Pay attention to your attitude, how you talk to Father!"
Listening to this brat's tone, those who didn't know thought he still had the upper hand and called him such an disrespectful name, did he think he could be on an equal footing with everyone else?
Murong Xiu Ming's face was full of anger, but there was a bit of happiness hidden in his slightly raised eyebrows. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to teach Mu Qing a few more words, but found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Even Murong Yin was leaning towards him, as if He said: You are the least qualified to speak at this time.
Mu Qing ignored Murong Xiu Ming's incompetent noise and looked at Murong Yin and the cold jade box in his hand.
When he knew the content of the news that Xuanwu sent back to Hidden Valley, Mu Qing had a plan in mind. He was bound to get the earth spirit root this time. The sooner he wakes up the aunt, the better. The rest can be learned more about pharmacology. With the help of the girls of Wanhua Valley, the secret of Jie Dao Pill was revealed bit by bit.
According to his previous temper, Mu Qing might have been stern and ready to start a fight, but at this moment, he had not yet obtained the earth spirit root. Mu Qing just narrowed his eyes, waiting for Murong Yin's final attitude.
The atmosphere felt depressing and foggy for a while.
Xuanwu looked further away and looked at the man in red. Suzaku still hadn't finished meditating. He closed his eyes and crossed his legs. He must have just made a breakthrough and was still digesting the changes brought about by the breakthrough.
Xuanwu retracted his gaze and scanned the masks of Qinglong and Baihu. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, but he did not speak after all.
After this rather long night, when it comes to how to deal with Mu Qing, he has begun to tend to use it effectively rather than being tyrannical and repressive. I believe that his two companions had this attitude from the beginning.
However, when their hidden killing team stood together with Murong Yin, if there could only be one attitude here, it would be what Murong Yin said.
Therefore, the effect of saying something privately is many times better than saying it now to cause trouble.
Murong Yin had a gray beard, a thin face, and slightly protruding stork bones. He usually had a lot of authority, but now he narrowed his cold eyes and looked at Xiang Mu Qing, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable.
Mu Qing silently moved a few steps sideways, using his body to block his movement of grabbing Huai Cao Shi's wrist.
In the space between the two parties, which was only a foot away, people's hearts were tense, the water vapor was stagnant, and the atmosphere was depressing, as if it was filled with the cold light of the sword.
Murong Yin smiled slightly, looked away from Mu Qing's waist, and said softly: "You are very hostile to us."
Some details of last night are not known yet, but from the blood-stained clothes that were wrapped around Mu Qing's waist several times, Murong Yin could barely outline the action of Suzaku's stab in his mind, and smelled the odor of Mu Qing's body with the tip of his nose. The faint smell of blood told me that there was indeed a fierce battle outside the Ponderosa Valley last night.
Mu Qing turned his head and looked at Murong Yin, with a face full of ridicule, and asked pretending to be confused: "Don't you think of killing me or dealing with the people around me?"
"Ah--"
A short laugh.
Before everyone's eyes came, Murong Xiu Ming, who was laughed out of anger, took the initiative to retreat towards Murong Yin.
The depressing atmosphere created was abruptly broken. Murong Yin gave Murong Xiu Ming a gloomy look, looked at Mu Qing, and pointed out: "You really make me curious. After a fierce battle last night, you still have the strength to convey the truth to her." Angry, do you still want to fight with us?"
As if feeling incredible about the possibility of his statement, Murong Yin chuckled and shook his head: "In front of us, you don't even have a chance. We advise you to put aside your hostility."
Now that he was found to be transmitting Qi to Huai Cao Shi, Mu Qing simply carried out it openly, and when it was over, he picked up Ning Chu's hand next to him.
"You're such a weirdo." Bai Hu shook his head slightly. He was so offended by Mu Qing's behavior that he had to speak for him, his voice full of helplessness.
Murong Yin smiled slightly at this moment and simply threw the cold jade box towards Mu Qing.
Mu Qing took a moment to react, quickly holding the cold jade box in his hand, and then handed it to Huai Cao Shi who was standing aside.
Huai Cao Shi opened a pair of cold jade boxes, and immediately strong spiritual energy fluctuations spread out. There was a bit of joy in her voice, and she confirmed in a low voice to Mu Qing: "It is the earth spirit root, and just by visual inspection, it is the same as the previous ones." ten times."
Mu Qing felt a little relieved. Although he didn't know why the old guy Murong Yin suddenly changed his previous attitude, in order for the girls of Wanhua Valley to leave this place smoothly, he still nodded to Murong Yin and thanked softly: "It's the earth spirit root. Once one condition is met, can we be allowed to leave next?”
"What are you in a hurry for?" Bai Hu later realized what had happened and was slightly dissatisfied with Mu Qing's attitude.
"Um?"
