"That's wrong... According to what I see, Brother Zhao is still too young. What do they think? We monks must act decisively when it's time to make a decision!"
Even though the soundproof array was arranged, Qi Wuchang still looked around vigilantly, then lowered his voice and said:
"Here, Brother Zhao, you are the most capable, and our uncle and nephew are on your side, which is even more powerful! You only need a simple order, how dare they disobey?"
After hearing this, Chen Mo immediately fell into deep thought.
"Fellow Taoist, don't hesitate. I have a potential-stimulating elixir here. I will give it to Fairy Mei later and ask her to quickly set up the formation and find the formation eye!"
Seeing that Chen Mo had not yet made a decision, Qi Wuchang struck while the iron was hot and said: "As for Lan Fairy, I will give her some small favors to silence her. It has nothing to do with me and she will not pursue it. What's more, we also Just to break the formation!"
Chen Mo's eyes flashed, and he looked at Qi Wuchang with a melancholy look: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Qi is really good at controlling people's hearts!"
"Haha, Brother Zhao is too praised! I only lived a few more decades and saw many things. But Brother Zhao is the real one among men. As time goes by, his achievements are immeasurable."
An elixir with an evil purple color was taken out from Qi Wuchang's storage bag. Chen Mo felt it with his tentacles and found that it was highly toxic. Although it has the effect of increasing the potential, the monks can subsequently clean up the impurities in the spiritual veins. The steps are far from simple.
In other words, taking this pill is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst.
Of course, Chen Mo would not say this to Qi Wuchang. He simply looked at it for a while and then returned it to him: "Just now, fellow Taoist Qi said that he was willing to pay some price to stop Lan Xianzi's mouth. What can fellow Taoist give him?" What’s the price?”
"hehe....."
Qi Wuchang gave it a try: "If Brother Zhao agrees to this matter, then I will tell you everything immediately. But now that the decision has not been decided, it is useless to say anything..."
"Okay, let's go back first, I have my own arrangements!"
Chen Mo nodded. Although he did not agree with what Qi Wuchang said, the gesture of turning back did it mean...
For a moment, Qi Wuchang's thoughts became vivid again.
The two people didn't communicate for long. In the open space, Mei Aoxue was still recovering her spiritual power. When Lan Ruoxian saw the two people approaching, she quickly stood up: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, what's the matter?"
When Liu Ke saw his third uncle coming back, he immediately walked over.
"Of course it's about breaking the formation." Chen Mo said calmly: "How is Fairy Mei's recovery?"
Lan Ruoxian's eyes instantly stared at Qi Wuchang, with a cold look on his face. You don't need to guess to know that he must have said something else that made Chen Mo have thoughts that he didn't expect.
Qi Wuchang chuckled and said, "Why does the fairy look at me like this? This is all Brother Zhao's idea."
Chen Mo didn't refute after hearing this. Seeing that Lan Ruoxian didn't answer, he glanced behind him lightly: "Thirty percent of the spiritual power is enough, let her come over."
Lan Ruoxian's face was extremely ugly, and she said word by word: "Zhao Ping!! You will kill her if you do this!! Even if the formation is broken, her vitality will be severely damaged. Can you predict the crisis in the outside world! "
"Call over here, I have something to say!"
Chen Mo's tone was full of irrefutable toughness, and the situation was stronger than others. Lan Ruoxian gave him a hateful look and went to disturb Mei Aoxue's recovery.
Chen Mo told Qi Wuchang again: "Is it true that Fellow Daoist Qi said that he is willing to pay a certain price with his nephew? If he deceives me, the consequences will be very serious!"
Chen Mo's previous words made Qi Wuchang very satisfied, and he quickly said with a smile: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Once you say it, you will definitely do it."
"That's good." Chen Mo also nodded with satisfaction.
Not long after, Lan Ruoxian came over with her, her face pale and delicate. Mei Aoxue gave a brief salute and said: "Fellow Daoist Zhao...do you have a new plan?"
Chen Mo ignored Lan Ruoxian's murderous gaze and chuckled: "Of course, but this plan will cause you to suffer some losses. I wonder if Fairy Mei can accept it?"
"Everyone is fine, and so can I." Mei Aoxue blinked, ignoring the hint in Lan Ruoxian's eyes, and continued: "But the little girl has exhausted her spiritual energy too much. Even if she wants to help you, she can't continue. ah....."
"You don't need to take action, just watch from the sidelines."
Chen Mo said to everyone: "Although Zhao does not understand the structure of the formation, there is a secret method that can find the moving phantom formation eye. However, this secret method consumes a lot of materials, which requires the support of several Taoist friends. Already..."
Qi Wuchang on the side was instantly dumbfounded.
Lan Ruoxian's eyes suddenly widened and she said in disbelief: "Didn't you let Sister Aoxue put herself in danger?"
Chen Mo waved his hand towards her and said: "What can she do as a weak monk? Just give me some materials, but please explain in advance that I am not sure whether I can break the formation in the end, but the more you give me, the better I can get out of trouble." The greater the chance.”
He couldn't say too much. He didn't know whether vitality spiritual power could unlock the illusion array. Simply don't give them too high expectations at the beginning.
Qi Wuchang quickly pulled Chen Mo's sleeve and said hesitantly: "Brother Zhao...didn't we agree..."
"Yes, your funding for Blue Fairy is no different from your funding for me. It's all about breaking the formation, so don't worry about it so much." Chen Mo comforted him and changed the subject: "I don't know if you have seen each other yet. What I need from the Extreme Fire Beast is the two crystal nuclei of the Extreme Fire Beast."
Chen Mo waved his hand, and the most common extremely fire beast crystal core appeared in front of everyone: "This kind of charcoal-like one is what I need the most!"
"There are also these two..."
Chen Mo pointed to the rose-red crystal core and said, "And this one, it's the most important thing!"
"As for this yellow-brown crystal nucleus, it's better than nothing. It's one-tenth as strong as the charcoal-like crystal nucleus."
Chen Mo threw the crystal core containing the vitality at his feet as useless debris.
"If you don't have the crystal core of the Extreme Fire Beast, just get some pills or spiritual materials to compensate." Chen Mo added.
Lan Ruoxian and others were silent for a while, but they did not do as he said. Instead, Liu Ke took the lead and asked: "Brother Zhao, is your secret method really useful?"
"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Chen Mo asked back: "Do you want to change your mind, fellow Taoist?"
"Where..." Qi Wuchang quickly stopped Liu Ke from continuing, "The crystal core of the Extreme Fire Beast... We really have some here. Brother Zhao allows us to explore..."
Lan Ruoxian and the two of them were straightforward and neat. After a brief exchange, they handed over a small cloth bag. Chen Mo shook it and found that what he said was exactly what he said. There were a lot of ordinary crystal nuclei, which contained vitality and aura. There is not a single crystal core.
Chen Mo only felt the existence of the vitality aura after practicing the "Forbidden Life and Death of All Things". If it were a few of them, they would naturally not be able to feel the vitality aura of the yellow-brown crystal core. As Chen Mo said, it was of no great use.
"Brother Zhao, our uncle and nephew have searched all over the storage bag, and only these crystal nuclei... How about you take a look?"
Qi Wuchang also handed over a cloth bag. Chen Mo took it and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and his face darkened: "Are you kidding me, Fellow Daoist Qi? These are all the waste crystal cores I just mentioned! In terms of quality alone, they are not comparable to what Fellow Daoist Lan provided." One-fifth of that.”
Qi Wuchang said with a troubled expression: "Then there is no other way. We have encountered this kind of monster before."
Chen Mo's expression gradually became unkind and fell into Qi Wuchang's eyes, which made the latter's mentality of being plotted finally find some balance.
"Brother Zhao, please be patient. Why don't we take some elixirs as compensation? What do you think, Brother Zhao?"
Chen Mo snorted coldly: "Then it depends on what you bring out."
"Demon Transformation Pill! It can transform a body of pure spiritual power into demonic energy on the surface. As long as you don't fight with others, you will look like a person in the demonic path! How about it, Fellow Daoist Zhao?"
Qi Wuchang calmly took out a brocade box and opened it a little. The strange and evil energy coming out of it made Chen Mo feel uncomfortable.
"Fellow Taoist, there are so many weird things!" Chen Mo said with deep meaning.
"It's all just to survive..." Qi Wuchang said leisurely. "Five!!" Chen Mo stretched out his five fingers and said decisively.
"Not that many!" Qi Wuchang shook his head: including my nephew, there are only two at most! "
This thing is very useful to Chen Mo. It is said that the current border of the Seven Kingdoms has become a paradise for demon monks. If he takes a few more demon-transforming pills, he might be able to deceive them and successfully return to the Chu Kingdom to find his master.
"Then let's take three. Fellow Daoist Qi, don't forget what you said before!" Chen Mo's tone softened slightly. The latter thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay! Just three, Fellow Daoist, start casting!"
"There's no rush... I need to talk to Fellow Daoist Lan about something now. Can Fellow Daoist Qi step aside for a while?"
After receiving his magic pill, Chen Mo suddenly changed the subject and asked the two of them to leave first.
"Of course, fellow Taoists, please do so!" Qi Wuchang seemed to have known that this would be the case, and directly dragged Liu Ke away from the place.
Chen Mo watched the two people leave, then slowly withdrew his gaze. Lan Ruoxian said slightly worriedly: "Junior brother Chen, didn't you expose our acquaintance? What if they don't cooperate..."
"You're worrying too much." Chen Mo waved his hand and said: "This old man is not simple. He has suspected it for a long time. Just now he asked me to feed Taoist Fellow Mei the poison pill, but I didn't agree. From then on, he has already understood ”
After a pause, Chen Mo continued: "But it doesn't matter. Even if we fail to break the formation, we will definitely get out of the trap in three days, and we won't be afraid of any tricks he will play by then."
There is another point that Chen Mo didn't say out loud. If he had known that he was so strong, he wouldn't even need to pretend.
Chen Mo's purpose of leaving them alone was just to replace some crystal nuclei. Ordinary ones were really useless to him. After some explanation, Chen Mo successfully replaced a large number of vital crystal nuclei.
"...Junior Brother Chen, you are really cunning, aren't you afraid that he will really give you an ordinary crystal core?"
After listening to Chen Mo's narration, Lan Ruoxian opened her mouth in surprise. She had no other thoughts except that he had a terrifying mind.
"He won't. If he suffers a loss, he will definitely come back with revenge. Everyone has this mentality. I just take advantage of it."
Chen Mo was not complacent because of Lan Ruoxian's praise. It was just a small thing. He asked about Mei Aoxue's condition, gave her a few recovery pills, and then went to another area of the forest alone. .
"Senior Sister Lan, is he the Senior Brother Chen who challenged Liang Changge and won the top ten on the Qianxun Ranking from him on the day of the sect competition?"
Mei Aoxue held the elixir left by Chen Mo in her hand, watched him disappear blankly, and asked a question for no reason.
"I didn't know him well before. I only met him briefly twice..."
Lan Ruoxian still wanted to say that he was the deacon of the medicine garden, but found that Mei Aoxue seemed to be sluggish. She waved her palm gently in front of her eyes, and then she regained consciousness: "What's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's okay." Mei Aoxue explained: "I saw a few scars on his face just now, and some were accidentally exposed on his arms. I was thinking that his cultivation must be very hard."
"He and Gu..."
As soon as Lan Ruoxian said three words, something stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say any more. Tears fell silently, and her expression was particularly sad and moving.
Mei Aoxue patted her shoulder quickly and said softly: "Senior Sister Lan, don't be anxious! Senior Brother Gu has his own destiny, and everything will be fine!"
"But that damn man in black captured him with one move!!" Lan Ruoxian clenched her fists, hating that she was powerless.
"That group of people obviously wanted to do something. They didn't directly harm Senior Brother Gu. We will always find a way. Let's break the illusion formation first. If we really get out, I'll ask him if he's willing to help!"
.......
As for Chen Mo, after harvesting a large number of vitality crystal cores, he began to explore the formation's eyes.
The forest is a huge place, and even if you can't find it easily, you have to at least figure out where it is.
What Qi Wuchang said is very credible. If Chen Mo were to face the sixteen third-level mandarin blood spiders together, it would be impossible for him to defeat them without resorting to all means. However, in his subconscious, he did not want to expose too much. Give things to others.
Chen Mo divided the magic array into ten areas. Each area took two hours, including the recovery time. He explored them from south to north. There was enough time before the third batch of blood spiders arrived.
When he was exploring the second area, Qi Wuchang and others came to observe. He took so many crystal nuclei to see if Chen Mo was playing tricks.
And Chen Mo was not stupid enough to feel it directly with his hands. He pretended to set up an array, but in fact he used his vitality to communicate with every plant and tree to find out what was different.
...
"According to Mei Aoxue, a monk who is proficient in formations, the formation eye will only change slightly and will not suddenly jump a long distance..."
On the branch above the moon, Chen Mo rushed to the sixth area non-stop. Twenty hours had passed since the plan he had agreed upon with everyone, but he still had nothing to gain.
Qi Wuchang and others were still willing to believe what Chen Mo said. If he was just pretending, it would be enough to perform for a few hours. However, Chen Mo never really rested for so long, which meant that he was really not lying and had some real talents.
Mei Aoxue had recovered a long time ago. I wonder if it was Lan Ruoxian's instigation. Taking advantage of Chen Mo's breaks, she would come over to discuss the formation.
During this trip to the Forgotten Land, Chen Mo paid more attention to the formation. One of them was willing to learn and the other loved to teach. In just a few hours, Chen Mo really understood a little bit.
If he was a layman before, now he can at least find the steps to knock on the door.
