Wang Mu looked at Mu Hongyuan. She was always playing the demon, back then as well as now.
Wang Mu thought for a mont. "Fine."
"Agreeing so quickly? Brother Mu, you like this sort of thing too?" the Demoness said. "Or did you think of a way to deal with your dear sister?"
The Demoness narrowed her charming eyes, the ends of her long, slender eyebrows curving towards Wang Mu like hooks.
"Can you cut the chatter?" Wang Mu said. "Since I've agreed, just hurry and prepare. We're going to the Immortal Island together."
Even if I had thought of sothing, would I tell you? he mused. Forget taking you to that place; even if I took you to the Sword Sect, I'm afraid we wouldn't even make it past the gates before Heroine Yan slew you. Still...
The Demoness retracted her charming deanor, her expression shifting effortlessly until it was as serene as still water. "In a few days," she said. "Little Gu still needs so ti to recuperate. You'll have to wait."
Wang Mu nodded. "Then I won't give you the Shadow Hong Saber."
"Keep it yourself," Mu Hongyuan said. "The saber's Evil Qi is startling. Without soone of great Qi Fortune to suppress it, its power can hardly be drawn out at all. But…"
"But what?"
"Without the Shadow Hong Saber, my cultivation will slow down… For , it's no big deal. I'm rely a step away from Crossing Tribulation." Mu Hongyuan pondered, then continued, "But as for you, your current cultivation is insufficient. Wearing or using this saber long-term will surely lead to Evil Qi invading your body. Although you cultivate the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram, it will still generate different kinds of malicious intent…"
Indeed, Wang Mu recalled. Previously, because Evil Qi entered my body, I passed out in the Dark Border. However, this also allowed to discover that it could actually be used to cultivate the Demon Way Technique. The cultivation of the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram could neutralize the changes brought by this Evil Qi, stabilize my ntal state, and prevent loss of control. Coupled with the Primordial Immortal Infant, it might actually be beneficial for .
"What about you?" Wang Mu asked. "After using the Treasure Technique earlier, can you still fight? That Immortal Island might be… sowhat troubleso. There's no rush; do you want to rest a bit longer too?"
"Now you decide to care about your dear sister?" Mu Hongyuan glanced sideways at him. "Don't worry. Since I've promised you, sister will only bring out that betrothed Little Dragon Girl. As for the Immortal Island, it's nothing."
She continued, "Besides, with your ager cultivation, do you really think you can perform external dual cultivation like before to help your sister dispel the Emotion Poison and recover?"
"Or is it..." Mu Hongyuan smiled seductively. "Are you craving external dual cultivation with your sister? Is it because Heroine Yan failed to satisfy you?"
Wang Mu was speechless. She speaks so wantonly, he thought.
"Heroine Yan is reserved and solitary…" Her seductive gaze swept over him. "Brother Mu probably isn't satisfied, right?"
"As long as I can satisfy her, that's enough," Wang Mu said. "Sister, you don't need to worry about this. I'm not craving that path; I'm just genuinely concerned about your cultivation."
Mu Hongyuan was speechless this ti.
"Go, go, go!" Mu Hongyuan flung her sleeve and turned away, a gentle force pushing Wang Mu back. "Co find again in a few days! What good is your concern if you can't help ?"
Wang Mu opened his mouth, thinking of the Yin Yuan Fruit and Pan Yang Peach.
On second thought, forget it.
Mu Hongyuan's situation was quite different from Heroine Yan's. Initially, Heroine Yan had been in a weakened state, and she had practiced swordsmanship with my Primordial Spirit in the Illusion Realm beforehand. Because of this, we had already ford a connection at the Primordial Spirit level. Consequently, even if I later entered the Nascent Soul stage, I might not have been able to practice swordsmanship with Heroine Yan in reality. As for the Yin Yuan Fruit and Pan Yang Peach, there would have been even less chance to use them.
Sister Mu's situation is different. She's plagued by Emotion Poison. With my current cultivation, if I were to use the Yin Yuan Fruit and Pan Yang Peach to explore the Yin Yang Dao with her, that Emotion Poison would probably overwhelm instantly. It couldn't be dispelled at all. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been limited to external dual cultivation, a thod akin to looking at plums to quench thirst. The Emotion Poison dispelled by external dual cultivation is just a drop in the ocean compared to the Emotion Poison Mu Hongyuan has accumulated over hundreds of years of cultivation.
Previously, Mu Hongyuan had skillfully protected Gu Yuqing's soul and body before using the Treasure Technique to revive her. Thus, the toll on her wasn't very significant; it was rely troubleso.
"Then I'll co again in a few days," Wang Mu nodded.
Leaving the Fengyue Sect, Wang Mu headed directly to Glazed Lake. Following the pictures Mr. Lee had sent, he went to search for those two magic treasures from the Upper Realm.
It had been a long ti since he last visited Glazed Lake, and the place hadn't changed much. Following the tributary of Yunlai Creek towards the Western Extre Sea, Wang Mu quickly found the two magic treasures at the designated location.
Feels… quite accurate… Wang Mu was sowhat surprised. Can magic treasures from the Upper Realm be delivered so easily to a designated location in the Lower Realm? Or is there so unknown special passage between the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm? Space express?
The Immortal Binding Rope and the Demon Capturing Bottle were two very ordinary-looking items. They looked just like common ropes and water bottles from the Mortal World. Lying in the water, even Qi Refining Stage Sea Clan mbers wouldn't bother giving them a second glance. They seed like re rubbish in the sea.
It was said that these items required the blood of an Immortal Beast to activate. Furthermore, they would activate and operate automatically.
Hmm… like fully automatic, integrated systems, Wang Mu mused. Could these be standardized magic treasures from the Upper Realm?
He instinctively looked up at the azure sky. Adhering to a cautious mindset, he inquired among the Sea Clan around Glazed Lake if there had been any celestial phenona or similar occurrences.
Surprisingly, his inquiry yielded results.
"Several days ago, a teor fell from the sky into the nearby seas. It was said that an Exotic Treasure had appeared. Later, after searching a large area of the sea, nothing special was found. Perhaps, if there truly was an Exotic Treasure, only those destined could obtain it…"
