"Thank you, Brother Han, for saving me. My little sister is very grateful." Slowly walking closer, Yuan Yao immediately gave a salute and thanked her sweetly.
"It's just a matter of effort, Miss Yuan, don't take it to heart." Han Li seemed to have not heard the other party's deliberate words of intimacy, and said with an extremely serious expression,
"Let me introduce to you, this is the tutor, this is Senior Xu..."
"I've met Senior Mo..."
"I've met Senior Xu..."
Yuan Yao had naturally heard of the two new elders of the Miaoyin Sect, especially the woman surnamed Xu, who was a genuine Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. She did not dare to neglect them and quickly saluted respectfully again.
Xu Qingcheng looked at the other party with interest for a while, but just smiled without any response.
Mo Juren, on the other hand, seemed to have thought of something. His eyes glanced at a certain spirit beast bag on the opponent's waist, and there was a faint flash of strange color, which was fleeting.
The two of them didn't say a word, and Han Li was suddenly surprised. Based on his understanding of his master, he shouldn't be so indifferent. As long as it doesn't involve your own interests, it doesn't matter if you help someone by the way.
But in this situation, why does it feel like Master is deliberately alienating the other party?
Could it be that he feels that he has a special relationship with this girl? That shouldn't be the case, right?
Of course, he didn't have any objections to this. It was for no reason, and saving the other person's life was already a huge kindness. There was no reason to continue to be a nanny.
As for himself, he has relied on Master and Senior Xu for protection along the way, so how can he be qualified to ask for more?
Besides, he only had a relationship with this girl, and he had no friendship at all. Not only that, he also saved the other party twice, so he didn't owe anything.
After weighing the balance, he immediately raised his hand and said without hesitation:
"Now that Miss Yuan is out of trouble, you and I will say goodbye. See you later."
"Wait..." Upon hearing what the other party said, Yuan Yao, who was already in shock, suddenly turned pale. She never expected that the other party would be so heartless? Well, even though the two parties have no friendship, don't you have any sympathy for a fragile woman like yourself?
It's a pity that I can't worry about this at this moment. Saving my life is the most important thing. I quickly continued,
"Brother Han has been so kind to me by saving lives twice. How can I feel at ease if my little sister doesn't repay him?"
"Everyone has said that it's just a small effort, and there is no need to repay him." Han Li shook his head slightly, as if he was in need of help.
This made Yuan Yao extremely anxious. In her current situation, let alone encountering any more fire ants, she was unable to resist the scorching heat, and it was impossible for her to get out of the Black Desert.
The three people in front of her were the only life-saving straw, and she didn't want to miss it no matter what.
She wanted to ask for something from the other two people, but unfortunately, there was no relationship between the two parties and she didn't know how to ask? Moreover, when he saluted and greeted him just now, the other party only nodded slightly and his attitude was extremely cold.
Therefore, the only option was to continue asking for help from Han Li.
"Brother Han can probably tell that my little sister is at the end of her rope right now. If she doesn't get shelter, she won't be able to continue on. She will most likely die in this desert. I..."
At this point, her beautiful jade face was full of sorrow, and her beautiful eyes were even more like weeping. With such a pitiful appearance, I am afraid that anyone who sees it will not be able to help but feel pity.
However, Han Li was not moved at all. Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion, he did not want to make the decision privately, so he looked directly at the master beside him.
"Miss Yuan has a special spiritual beast in her hands?" Mo Juren directly stated his purpose without beating around the bush. However, Yuan Yao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand why the other party suddenly mentioned this?
Not only her, but Han Li and Xu Qingcheng on the side also looked surprised? It's so good, why are you thinking about other people's spiritual beasts?
"Yes... there is one." Yuan Yao finally reacted. Instead of being annoyed, he was overjoyed. He immediately took off the spirit beast bag on his waist without hesitation, and at the same time opened his mouth slightly and spit out a gray-black The beads were handed to the front respectfully,
"This is a 'Crying Soul Beast' that this junior got by chance. If senior likes it, I will give it to you. This soul-crying bead is used to control this beast. Please accept it as well, senior."
"Crying Soul Beast!" Han Li's heart moved, and he immediately thought of that weird-looking monkey. Although he had seen this beast before, he thought it was very extraordinary, but he didn't know much about it. What's more, it makes him wonder, how does the master know about this beast? It seems that he has never seen it before, right?
On the other hand, Xu Qingcheng, who was on the side, suddenly looked shocked when she heard the name of the soul-crying beast. Obviously, she knew about this strange spiritual beast that was said to be able to suck souls and eat ghosts.
His eyes instantly stared at the spirit beast bag, with unconcealable curiosity in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Mo Juren only glanced at it and directly put the two things into the red falling space, and said again: "Mo is indeed very interested in this beast, so he was disrespectful."
"It's Yuan Yao's honor to be able to help senior. Besides, it's also a blessing for this beast to be by your side." At this time, Yuan Yao not only didn't feel reluctant at all, but seemed to have abandoned the god of plague, with an unusually relaxed expression and beautiful eyes. There was even a faint hint of joy in it.
After receiving the gift, Mo Juren naturally wanted to respond and said immediately:
"Since we are my disciple's friends, let's go on the road together so that we can have someone to take care of us."
"Thank you, senior!" Yuan Yao was naturally overjoyed when she finally got what she wanted, and the smile on her face also bloomed, and she was astonished for a moment.
However, the other party's next behavior gave Han Li a headache. I don’t know what this woman was thinking, but she came directly to his side and walked side by side with him.
The other party even asked questions from time to time, as if they were very intimate.
At any other time, he might have acquiesced, since he was enjoying it anyway. But it can't work now. The master is right in front. What's going on if he lets the old man see it? Even though I have ten mouths, I still can’t explain it?
With this thought in his mind, he naturally and quietly widened the distance between the two parties. This scene was naturally seen by Yuan Yao, and he was suddenly startled.
She was very confident about her appearance, and most of the men she met would covet her, even Han Li was no exception.
Women are very sensitive, so don't think that the other person is hiding it well. When they met for the first time in the ghost mist, and when they saw her again just now, the moment of loss could not be hidden from her perception.
But why should we deliberately avoid it now? Could it be that you have some concerns?
For a moment, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
…
There are too many variables in the Xutian Temple this time, such as the black desert. The original lava road does not exist, not to mention a large number of black fire ant colonies. The monks only face terrifying high temperatures, various dangerous terrains, and even Some fire beasts and so on.
However, the emergence of the Black Desert, including the changes that also occurred in the Xuanjing Dao, caused 90% of the monks in the Alchemy Stage to lose their lives.
Most of these monks came from the forces of good and evil, and the losses were not small. The Nascent Soul stage monks headed by both sides all looked ugly and became increasingly vigilant.
In a lightless place in the Grand Canyon, two voices were communicating calmly in the darkness.
"They should have noticed."
"The emergence of the Black Desert and the Blood Ice Forest has almost wiped out the number of monks from the good and evil paths who came to form the pill formation stage. How could you not notice it? Besides, do you really think we did what we did when the Xutian Temple was opened in the past? They don't know about those hands and feet? It's just because of the power of our star palace that they pretend not to know. Besides, in the past, it was just a small fight, and there were only a few monks in the Danjie stage who died, so they didn't bother to care about it."
"That's true." A voice chuckled and then said coldly,
"It's reached this point, and it doesn't matter if we make it clear. Since good and evil can't hold it back, and even formed an alliance to overthrow the rule of our star palace, then don't blame us for being ruthless."
"The situation outside is not good. The other party may have obtained information and knows that the two holy masters are in retreat at a critical moment. I am afraid they will take advantage of this moment to take action."
"Indeed!" The man sighed again and continued,
"Fortunately, we learned about the situation in advance and made a lot of preparations. Even if the other party takes action, it will not go smoothly. As long as we delay for a certain period of time and wait until the two Holy Lords come out, everything will be fine."
"It's still a bit troublesome. After all, the two Holy Masters..." The other person suddenly sighed and did not continue the unpleasant topic. Instead, he said,
"We would also like to thank Mr. Mo for this. If it hadn't been for his timely reminder, our losses would have been incalculable. This trip to Xutian Palace is also an excellent opportunity to take the opportunity to get rid of a few Nascent Soul Stage old monsters. It’s a big plus for us.”
"That guy is really good." The man nodded and said,
"But this matter is not easy. The disappearance of Ji Yin and the changes in the Ice and Fire Dao will inevitably make those old monsters more vigilant. It is very likely that they will finally unite together, and then it will be difficult to deal with."
"The conflict between good and evil is extremely deep, and there is no trust at all. They will never come together unless forced to do so."
"This also depends on Fellow Daoist Lihen and Fellow Daoist Xuankun. With their strength in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, as long as they join forces, even Wan Tianming and Man Beard can only retreat. And as long as they are prevented from getting together, they will give We beat every opportunity."
"This requires careful planning..."
…
"It's fire ants again, there are already more than ten swarms, it's almost endless!" Deep in the black desert, Xu Qingcheng cursed secretly while taking back the pagoda.
"Just be content. Someone has cleared the way for us first. This saves us a lot. Otherwise, we will definitely encounter more than this." Mo Juren smiled.
"That's true." Xu Qingcheng nodded. The three Nascent Soul stage monks of Zhengdao set out earlier, so they would naturally be attacked by iron fire ants. With the other party's strength, the number of ant colonies they killed was probably not as high as theirs. few.
Suddenly, she suddenly thought of something and said again,
"By the way, I got a refined crystal from the super ant colony that I killed before. This is a top-notch auxiliary spiritual material. If you mix some of it into your natal flying sword, not only will its power increase a lot, but its body will also be stronger. The level will also be greatly improved. What do you think, do you want to trade?"
As he spoke, there was a flash of light in his hand, revealing a fist-sized crystal ball-shaped object, shining with a mysterious black light.
"Crystal refining!" Mo Juren was startled for a moment. Perhaps it was due to the different path choices. The number of ant colonies encountered on the way was much larger than that encountered by Han Li in the original work, and the scale was also larger. One of them was A super ant colony of around 100,000 people.
As for crystal refining, it was something that only the ant queen could produce, so he naturally paid attention to it. The black desert was so vast and there were countless ant colonies spread everywhere, so naturally there couldn't be only one queen.
However, he paid attention to it at first, but didn’t notice it? Is it that the Queen Ant's talent for concentrating Qi is too strong, or is the pagoda's attack method of direct forcible inhalation too fast and missing?
No matter what the reason was, he was determined to get the crystal in front of him, so he immediately said: "Tell me your conditions?"
""Six Desires True Demonic Art"" Xu Qingcheng directly stated his purpose without even thinking about it.
However, when Mo Juren heard this, his eyes flickered, and then he ignored the other party and walked straight forward.
"You...you wait..." Xu Qingcheng suddenly became anxious. Doesn't this person really understand what bargaining is? A single refined crystal is naturally not as good as the inheritance left by a generation of Demon Lords, but you don’t have to be so hasty to refuse?
She knew that the demon possessed the inheritance of the ancient true demon, but she didn't know the exact information. It was destroyed by Mo Juren, and the inheritance naturally fell into the hands of the other party.
She had asked more than once, but the other party always kept silent about the matter. It was not until she became the elder of the Miaoyin Sect that she gradually revealed some things during their relationship, including the existence of the "Six Desires True Demonic Art".
When she heard the news, she was extremely excited. Although this skill must be practiced by a pure demon, she might not be able to learn from it as she has half-demon blood.
It's a pity that the other party is like fishing, dropping the bait but not pulling the hook, which is really annoying.
She knew very well that the other party's purpose was to wait for a price, and he had to offer something of equal value in exchange.
But she is too 'poor'. Of course, this refers specifically to the other party. There are only three or four top-level treasures such as Phantom Tower, Wu Tu Bead, etc., but they are not enough for her own use. How can she exchange them?
As for the lesser ones, the other party doesn't like them at all.
There was no way, compared to her 'poorness', this guy was too rich, his eyes grew to the top of his head, and his vision was not ordinary.
In short, it is difficult to maintain, and finally got a crystal, which is exactly what the other party needs, so it is naturally the most suitable for trading.
Unexpectedly, this guy left just after hearing her conditions, which was simply 'unreasonable'. You should still make a counteroffer. I don't intend to ask for the full copy. I can just give you a third.
Naturally she was unwilling to give up, so she quickly caught up and started a 'stalking' fight.
This scene fell not far behind them, in the eyes of Han Li and Yuan Yao. The former is okay. After all these years of understanding, I have probably determined some situations. Even though Senior Xu is a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage, he is obviously a head shorter when facing the master.
He didn't know why this happened, but he also had some guesses. This woman probably had some leverage in the master's hands. Otherwise, how could a senior in the Nascent Soul Stage submit to a monk in the Dan Jie Stage?
Naturally, he would not explore anything, but it did not hinder his admiration for the master in his heart.
In contrast, Yuan Yao's face was full of shock. The reason why I called Senior Mo Juren before was purely because he was Han Li's teacher. Otherwise, everyone is of the same rank, so just calling him Taoist Fellow would be enough.
But now it seems that things are far from as simple as she imagined. Being able to communicate with the Nascent Soul Stage masters on an equal footing, and even vaguely having the upper hand, this Elder Mo of the Miaoyin Sect is really not simple, and he probably deserves the title of senior. of.
Xu Qingcheng succeeded in the end, and after a lot of hard work, he finally got what he needed.
However, she was not very happy, and the reason was simple: what she got was far from what she expected.
Crystal refining, a top-notch auxiliary material, is now a legendary thing. It has a price but no market, so its value is naturally not low. According to the original plan, even if the entire copy cannot be exchanged, at least part of it can be exchanged.
However, who would have thought that after the four of them continued walking for a certain distance, they happened to encounter an ant colony that had been destroyed by others, and it also had a queen.
This was good, the guy actually got another crystal from it. In this way, the one in her hand instantly depreciated, at least not so unique.
This sudden change made her very upset, but she had no choice but to choose to exchange it at a 'low price'. Although she could continue to stretch her arms, she was worried about what she would do if she encountered a similar situation later. Wouldn't the crystal in her hand become more devalued?
He simply changed it directly and chose several types from the list of dozens of secret techniques provided by the other party. However, looking at the densely packed various magical secret techniques, the desire in my heart became stronger.
At this time, she was inevitably a little angry, and glared at the other person more than once. This guy must have deliberately come up with this list to lure her into taking the bait.
At that moment, she suddenly thought of the miserable scene of trying her best to collect all kinds of rare treasures in the future, but in the end she could only make wedding clothes for the other party.
"What a nasty bastard!"
