"I didn't expect you to know me."
Old man Sheng Ling swung the collar of his shirt on his chest and after adjusting his suit, he looked at his strange outfit in surprise.
"It's a surprising world, but let's talk somewhere else."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Sheng Ling smiled slightly, then waved his hand, and the scene in front of Chu Ming quickly receded like a tide.
The next second, the pungent smell of blood mixed with the stench of corruption hit his face, which made him frown. The roar of the dead lingered in his ears, making his heart pounding.
here it is……
Looking at the surrounding dark red rocks and towering cliffs, Chu Ming suddenly became alert.
Could this be the Blood Burial Valley?
Have I left the fantasy world of floating life?
"You're right."
At this time, a gentle smile suddenly sounded from behind, which made Chu Ming's body tremble violently.
He turned around and looked at the old man Sheng Ling who was wearing a blue robe and a gentle smile, and his mood seemed to have sunk to the bottom.
broken!
Judging from the slight fluctuations of spiritual power around him, the person in front of him is not a clone, but his true body!
If this place was not in the realm of fantasy, then there would be no restrictions on cultivation and strength. Wouldn't he be in an extremely dangerous situation?
"Hello, Master Hanhai,"
Chu Ming took several deep breaths, calmed down his restless mood, bowed slightly, and saluted with cupped fists.
"Thank you very much for taking me away from the illusion of floating life."
"It takes a little effort, but it's nothing worth mentioning."
Old Man Sheng Ling smiled slightly and said softly.
"But I hope you can do one thing."
thing?
What can I do?
Seeing Chu Ming's confused expression, old man Sheng Ling stroked his beard and smiled gently.
"I believe you should know what is going on."
I know?
Could it be that...he noticed the essence of the God of Wealth in my body?
Chu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, then took a step back with a vigilant expression, lowered his eyelids and said in a deep voice.
"Master Hanhai Sect, you came to the rescue of this junior. As a disciple of Tianyan Sect, I will definitely repay you for this kindness."
Obviously, the hidden meaning of Chu Ming's words is that as an elder, you should not forcibly steal the essence of the God of Wealth from the younger generation, right?
In the end, it was related to the sect. I hope he can consider the relationship between the two sects.
But Chu Ming underestimated Old Sheng Ling's determination to win the essence of the God of Wealth. He just smiled indifferently, stopped beating around the bush, and made his words clear directly.
"I hope you can hand over that thing inside your body."
"..."
Sure enough, this step has come!
Chu Ming clenched his fists tightly, even though he was filled with anger, there was nothing he could do.
After all, the strength gap between the two was so huge that Chu Ming didn't even have to think about a way out of trouble. He could only try to stall for time and see if things could turn around.
"You want that?"
"Part of the essence of the God of Wealth."
The smile on Old Sheng Ling's face was still gentle.
"And the dream god's essence in your spiritual sea?"
The essence of the dream god?
Chu Ming touched the side of his forehead, looking a little stunned.
Could it be that Aunt Jin’s clone has been destroyed by Rin in my spiritual sea?
It shouldn’t be!
You should have told me after you killed Rin.
What's more, if you possess the essence of the Dream God, how could you not feel anything at all?
"Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean."
Chu Ming pretended not to understand and humbly asked for advice.
"The essence of the dream god, I have never seen anything like this."
"But it's inside you."
Old Sheng Ling's old right hand slightly probed, and Chu Ming's body came to him uncontrollably, unable to move.
It’s over!
This old guy wants to take action forcefully!
Looking at Old Sheng Ling's old right hand slowly approaching him, cold sweat broke out on Chu Ming's forehead, and his brain was spinning rapidly to find a way to help him get out of trouble, but after thinking about it, there was only one...
Master, save me!
"What do you want to do to my Ming'er again?"
The moment Old Sheng Ling's right hand was about to touch Chu Ming's forehead, a majestic wave of spiritual power instantly knocked him back.
In an instant, the bloody smell that permeated the surroundings disappeared and was replaced by an elegant fragrance.
At this time, a foxtail true form with nine foxtails swaying behind him stood in front of the old man Sheng Ling. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he looked at him with a cold expression.
"Old man Sheng Ling, I remember I warned you last time, don't try to do anything to my Ming'er."
"Wu Zuirao, you are indeed here."
Old Shengling obviously expected that Wu Zuirao would take action. This was also the reason why he did not force Chu Ming to hand over the essence of the God of Wealth at first.
"Can we have a little face?"
Wu Zuirao looked at the embarrassed face of old man Sheng Ling and said coldly.
"As the leader of the Hanhai Dan Sect, one of the five major sects in the Northern Territory, you actually want to rob a junior's belongings. If word spreads, I'm afraid the reputation of the Hanhai Dan Sect will also be ruined along with you."
"I just want to make a deal with him, and I don't want to steal it."
Old Sheng Ling smiled and looked at Chu Ming, who was being protected by Wu Zuirao.
"If you are willing, I can fulfill any of your wishes in exchange for part of the God of Wealth's essence."
"Don't even think about it!"
Before Chu Ming could refuse, Wu Zuirao took a step ahead and said in a deep voice.
"This is an opportunity that Ming'er has worked so hard for. No one can take it away!"
"Besides, I can give you anything you can give me!"
"That's such a shame."
Old Man Shengling couldn't help but sigh. In fact, the moment Wu Zuirao's clone appeared, he knew that his visit to the Blood Burial Valley today would probably be in vain.
The duel between people with profound cultivation often does not require the use of fists and kicks or the exchange of spells. It only requires a confrontation between the two parties, and the matter can be perfectly resolved.
The old man Sheng Ling who is now coming to the Blood Burial Valley is the main body, and Wu Zuirao is the clone. Logically speaking, there is a certain strength gap between the two parties.
If he wanted to, Old Shengling could easily kill the indifferent Wu Zuirao in front of him.
But the consequence is that she may come directly to the door and turn the Vast Sea Dan Sect upside down.
After all, there is a gap in real strength between the two, and Old Shengling can definitely confirm that a crazy woman like Wu Zuiluo would do such a thing.
After much thought, even though his heart was full of desire, old man Sheng Ling still gave up the idea of taking away the essence of the God of Wealth from Chu Ming's body.
There is only a small part of the God of Wealth's essence in his body, and a large part of it exists in the outside world. Perhaps it is best to find those first.
I just hope that no one else will get there first. After all, this kid still has all the essence of the Dream God in his body...
Old Sheng Ling narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately looked at Chu Ming again.
But he just responded with an indifferent smile and bowed without fear.
"I would like to send you my respectful greetings to Master Hanhai."
"Don't worry, I still have something to discuss with you in detail."
Old man Sheng Ling smiled gently.
"I wonder if you would be willing to come to our Vast Sea Alchemy Sect to study and exchange?"
"You also know that alchemists generally do not have particularly strong fighting methods and can only be used as an auxiliary practice for other Taoist practices."
"However, the core pill you refined before shocked me. This directly gives the alchemist a certain fighting ability. At least he can protect himself without any problem."
"So I hope you can come to our Vast Sea Alchemy Sect to study and communicate and promote the development of Alchemy."
"..."
Chu Ming became silent after hearing this, while Wu Zuirao in front of him saw the kind smile of the old man Sheng Ling, crossed his arms and snorted disdainfully.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Do you think my Ming'er will be stupid enough to throw herself into a trap?"
"Thank you, Master Hanhai, for the invitation. I, Chu Ming, am willing to contribute my small amount to the development of Alchemy."
"???"
Obviously, Wu Zuirao did not expect that Chu Ming would actually agree to the invitation of the old man Sheng Ling. She couldn't help but look back at the indifferent smile in astonishment, and asked using the voice transmission that could only be heard between the two of them.
"Ming'er, what are you thinking about?"
"Old man Sheng Ling invites you to the Vast Sea Alchemy Sect. He clearly doesn't intend to give up on snatching the God of Wealth's essence from your body."
"You must know that unlike the outside world, there is probably a way to block my spiritual perception in the Vast Sea Alchemy Sect. If something happens, I may not be able to arrive in time."
"Master, rest assured, I have my own sense of discretion."
Chu Ming smiled confidently.
"As long as you are here, Old Shengling will always be wary of the consequences of snatching the God of Wealth's marrow from my body."
"If you are still worried, you can follow me to the Vast Sea Alchemy Sect."
"I don't think that old man Sheng Ling will agree to your request."
Wu Zuirao sighed softly, and her tense expression gradually relaxed.
"Since you are sensible, I won't interfere anymore."
"But Ming'er, you can't always use my protection as your last trump card. It's not appropriate to be confident at any time."
"I see."
Chu Ming looked at Wu Zuirao's bright eyes and chuckled.
"Master, I am very grateful for your protection, but this will never become the reason for my arrogance."
After saying that, he walked out from behind Wu Zuirao and saluted Old Man Shengling with cupped fists.
"When can I visit you?"
"Any time."
Old man Sheng Ling stroked his beard and said with a hearty smile.
"Our Hanhai Dan Sect welcomes your arrival at any time."
"Thank you, Master Hanhai."
Chu Ming's heart sank slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he realized that the collar around Su Tongyue's neck had not been taken off by her.
From this point of view, the secret of the collar has not been exposed to Old Sheng Ling.
But Su Tongyue was so obedient that she didn't say anything. I thought the reason why Old Sheng Ling came to the Blood Burial Valley was because I put a family collar on her.
"In that case, I will leave first."
After saying that, the old man Sheng Ling turned into a stream of light and fled into the distance. Chu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when the terrifying spiritual pressure disappeared.
"It's time to leave."
"Ming'er, do you have something to explain to me?"
Seeing the old man Sheng Ling leaving, Wu Zuirao withdrew his solemn gaze, then turned around with a playful smile on his lips.
"You must have done a lot of 'good things' in the Fantasy Realm, right?"
"As expected, I can't hide it from you, Master."
Chu Ming didn't intend to hide it, scratched his cheek and laughed dryly.
"How about I tell you after I return to the clan?"
"Then I have to describe the details then."
Wu Zuirao suddenly leaned down, gently caressed Chu Ming's cheek, and then lay next to his ear and exhaled softly.
"If the description is not clear, then please practice it in practice,"
hiss!
Sure enough, when it comes to charm and enchantment, it’s up to my master to do it.
This is simply a seductive fairy!
Chu Ming couldn't help but feel his Adam's apple rolling, and quickly changed the topic to prevent himself from exposing more of his ugliness.
"By the way, Master, Senior Sister, has her retreat ended?"
"Um."
Wu Zuirao straightened up, covered her mouth and smiled sweetly.
"Mu Xi not only condensed a fox tail, but she also has two fox tails."
"Is it."
When Chu Ming heard that An Muxi's bloodline was successfully purified, he couldn't help but become excited.
"So, senior sister, she has completely broken away from the half-fox demon state and turned into a pure fox demon?"
"You seem to be saying the opposite."
Wu Zuirao's eyes were flowing and her tone was lazy.
"She has completely turned into a human, but under my guidance, she has contained the blood of a pure fox demon in her body, so she can transform into a fox tail."
"Of course, the strength has not changed, but the side effects of the natural charm have disappeared. You can even actively hide it and will not be detected by anyone with your spiritual consciousness."
"That's great!"
Chu Ming's face showed joy.
"This way, senior sister, she doesn't have to worry about being watched by others."
"Indeed it is."
Wu Zuirao took a step forward and gently hugged Chu Ming tightly in her arms, whispering the longing that had been buried in her heart for a long time.
"Mu Xi is still trying to digest the pure fox demon blood in her body. She and I miss you very much. Remember to come back early."
"Well, after handling the matters here and the Blazing Fire Immortal Sect, I will return to the sect."
Chu Ming nodded, and his eyes suddenly widened. He found that Wu Zuirao kissed him gently and then turned into light spots and slowly drifted away. His tone was full of sweetness and charm.
"When you come back, Mu Xi and I will prepare a surprise for you~"
surprise?
It should be the kind of surprise I imagined, right?
Chu Ming licked his dry lips, his heart suddenly became restless, and he had no choice but to stroke his chest to calm down.
Now let’s deal with the situation at hand first.
First, we have to find Mu Qing.
Chu Ming looked around, his consciousness quickly spreading, and soon he sensed An Muqing, who was sitting on the ground leaning against a dead tree in the distance.
"Whoosh!"
After turning into a stream of light and rushing over, Chu Ming looked at the girl with her eyes tightly closed in front of him, and his heart twitched violently.
"Mu Qing?"
He half-crouched down and held An Muqing in his arms. After using his spiritual consciousness to inspect her body, he found that she was just tired and fell asleep.
"call--!"
Chu Ming couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and at this moment, slight footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
"You didn't even tell old man Sheng Ling that I forced you to wear a family collar."
Chu Ming did not look back, still hugging An Muqing tightly and said calmly.
"I thought you summoned Old Man Sheng Ling."
“I covered it up a little bit with decorations.”
Su Tongyue walked slowly, and then Chu Ming looked back and found that there was a circle of black gauze around her neck that completely covered the family collar, which made him very confused.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
