I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 1929 Poaching

"Grand Elder Liu Jun, why do you say that the thunder tribulation cannot expel the ice poison in Mu Chendong's body?" Elder Yi Ning asked with a frown, a hint of confusion and anxiety in his eyes.

"I didn't say it can't be expelled, I just can't guarantee it." Grand Elder Liu Jun gently spread his hands, with a calm and composed smile on his face. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through the essence of everything in the world, but with a bit of elusive mystery.

When Elder Yi Ning heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She tilted her head slightly and gave Elder Bi You, who was standing beside her, a subtle look. There was both expectation and determination in that look, as if silently conveying some important decision.

Elder Bi You understood, and he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. Without saying too much, he turned around in a hurry, holding the precious Chaos Kaiyuan Pill tightly in his hand, and left here with light but firm steps.

Since Grand Elder Liu Jun said he couldn't guarantee it, it meant it was not completely impossible. Ancestor Yi Ning thought to herself, with a determined look in her eyes. She decided to give it a try. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, she couldn't give up on saving Mu Chendong.

What if Mu Chendong takes the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill and is able to break through the realm and bring about a thunder tribulation?
When she broke through to the middle stage of Half-Step God King Realm, she attracted a thunder tribulation. She was almost dead at that time. Knowing the power of thunder tribulation, it is the purest and most powerful force in the world. Perhaps it can really expel the ice poison in Mu Chendong's body.

Elder Liu Jun looked at Elder Bi You's hurriedly leaving back and sighed slightly. He naturally knew that the purpose of Elder Bi You's trip was to send the precious elixir to Mu Chendong. However, he did not say anything more, but just stood there silently, revealing a kind of detachment and indifference in his eyes.

Anyway, he has said everything he should say. As for the result, it depends on God's will. If there is really a problem, don't say that the elixir he made is not good. After all, everything in the world has its own fate and cannot be forced. Rejecting bad reviews, starting with him, this is Liu Jun's philosophy of life.

With so many people gathered here, it was naturally impossible for them to just stand outside and wait. After all, it would take some time for Mu Chendong to take the elixir and truly break through the realm and attract the thunder tribulation, which would take a while to settle and transform.

Elder Yi Ning stood quietly in front of the crowd, her deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. She looked at the group of people in front of her, some anxious and some expectant, thinking secretly in her heart. Everyone's face was filled with different emotions, but in this complex situation, she found that she had a strong interest in one person - that was Liu Jun.

Liu Jun, this name has been rising rapidly in Danzong in recent times, like a bright new star. According to Patriarch Yi Ning, Liu Jun is a newcomer who has just joined Danzong, but he has shown his extraordinary talent at an astonishing speed. Not only can he refine weapons and pills, but he is also proficient in formations. He is simply an all-round genius, and can definitely be called an all-rounder among all-rounders.

In terms of refining, Liu Jun's technique is skillful and unique. In the field of alchemy, his attainments are unfathomable. The pills he refines are not only of high quality, but also of amazing efficacy, which is amazing. He can even refine a magical pill like Chaos Kaiyuan Pill. As for the formation, there is no need to say more. According to intelligence, the Dan Sect's protective formation was created by Liu Jun. The gold content is too high.

You know, many people may not be able to reach the level of a master in their entire lives, but Liu Jun has achieved such brilliant achievements in these fields, which is simply a miracle.

Patriarch Yi Ning secretly thought that if Liu Jun could join the Ice Palace, the strength of the Ice Palace would surely advance by leaps and bounds. After all, a versatile person like Liu Jun would be highly valued no matter which faction he joined. And the Ice Palace, as a faction with a long history, would undoubtedly be even more powerful and reach a higher level if Liu Jun joined.

Of course, Patriarch Yi Ning also knew that it was somewhat immoral to poach people from Dan Zong. However, for the future of Bing Palace, in order to make Bing Palace stand out among many forces, she did not mind being scolded. After all, in this world where the strong are respected, strength is the most important. Moreover, someone from Dan Zong had abandoned Mu Qianchou, and she had not yet settled the score. Thinking of this, Patriarch Yi Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she decided to make a good plan to try to bring Liu Jun, a genius, under the command of Bing Palace.

So, Patriarch Yi Ning smiled and suggested: "Grand Elder Liu Jun, Elder Chen, why don't we go sit in the main hall? It will also allow you to rest here for a while and wait for good news from Mu Chendong."

"Of course." Chen Shanhe responded with a smile, and Liu Jun nodded in agreement.

So, the group of people headed towards the main hall of the Ice Palace. The main hall of the Ice Palace is located on the top of the mountain, and it is still a long way from here. But during this journey, everyone did not feel bored or dull. On the contrary, they used this time to chat and share their experiences and thoughts. Time seemed to be particularly fast at this moment.

Not long after, they arrived in front of the main hall of the Ice Palace. This hall was magnificent and majestic, as if it was a monument standing between heaven and earth. Various exquisite patterns were carved on the eaves of the hall, and every stroke revealed the craftsman's exquisite skills and ultimate pursuit of beauty.

The door of the hall slowly opened, and a fresh air rushed in, refreshing everyone. They stepped into the hall, and saw that it was spacious and bright, with a reasonable layout, and every place revealed a solemn yet warm atmosphere. Everyone found a seat and began to enjoy this rare tranquility and harmony.

Because the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill was successfully refined, everyone was relieved, and their faces were filled with indescribable joy. Although Liu Jun said that the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill was not completely sure about expelling the ice poison, they had another firm belief in their hearts. They believed that the ice poison was yin, and the thunder tribulation was the most yang and strong existence in the world. If even the ice poison could not be expelled by the thunder tribulation, then what was the reputation of the thunder tribulation?

At this moment, Ancestor Yi Ning focused all her attention on Liu Jun. She kept talking to Liu Jun, her words full of admiration and expectations for him. However, Ancestor Yi Ning's words were always euphemistically expressing a certain intention, which was a desire to bring Liu Jun under the command of the Ice Palace.

Not only Liu Jun, but even Chen Shanhe, who was sitting next to him, heard the intentions of Patriarch Yi Ning clearly. As an elder of the Dan Sect, Chen Shanhe knew the importance of Liu Jun to the sect. He could not just watch Patriarch Yi Ning poach Liu Jun so easily, which would undoubtedly be a huge loss for the Dan Sect. Therefore, whenever Patriarch Yi Ning tried to extend an olive branch to Liu Jun, Chen Shanhe would always interrupt at the right time and divert the topic to other places. His behavior undoubtedly made Patriarch Yi Ning very annoyed, and he even had the urge to slap this guy to death.

However, in this delicate contest, Liu Jun became the most leisurely spectator. He couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the two fighting back and forth. He knew his own value and knew that as long as he asked, the Ice Palace would definitely offer a sky-high price to invite him to join. However, for Liu Jun, the kindness of the Dan Sect to him was far beyond what money could measure.

At this time, Elder Bi You walked into the hall in a hurry, with brisk but somewhat flustered steps. After quickly scanning the spacious hall, his eyes finally fixed on Patriarch Yi Ning. He was seen panting slightly, obviously rushing all the way here. Before he could calm his breath, he couldn't wait to speak, with a hint of anxiety in his voice that was difficult to conceal: "Ancestor, Patriarch Yi Ning asked you to go over immediately."

Hearing this, Elder Yi Ning frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that if it was not urgent, Elder Bi You would not come here to invite her, because Yi Xie would not agree.

Although Patriarch Yi Xie, like her, is one of the three mid-stage Half-Step God King powerhouses in the Ice Palace, the two have always been at odds with each other and dislike each other. This is why she asked Bi You to deliver the elixir and she did not go to deliver it herself, because Yi Xie was guarding Mu Chendong.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Elder Yi Ning responded briefly, then stood up, and in a flash, she was ready to leave. She thought to herself that something must have happened to Mu Chendong.

When Elder Yi Ning was about to step out of the threshold of the hall, she suddenly stopped and turned her gaze to Liu Jun and Chen Shanhe not far away.

Patriarch Yi Ning hesitated for a few seconds, as if he was weighing something, and finally invited: "Grand Elder Liu Jun, Elder Chen, why don't you come with me to take a look? Perhaps this matter may require your help."

You know, under normal circumstances, breaking through a realm is an extremely private and dangerous process, and outsiders are absolutely not allowed to watch. However, Patriarch Yi Ning had an inexplicable intuition at this moment, and she felt that Liu Jun might play a key role in the next event.

Liu Jun and Chen Shanhe looked at each other after hearing this, and a subtle look was exchanged between them. They seemed to feel the seriousness and urgency in the words of the old ancestor Yi Ning, and without much hesitation, they answered in unison: "Yes."

The four of them left the hall in a hurry, boarded a delicate flying instrument, and quickly headed to where Mu Chendong was undergoing the tribulation. On the way, Elder Bi You briefly explained the current situation. Although he did not reveal too many details, everyone could feel the uncontrollable tension and solemnity in his tone.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely solemn because of the departure of Liu Jun and the others. Everyone knew that something must have gone wrong, so everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that Mu Chendong could survive this disaster and be reborn. During this long wait, time seemed to become extremely slow, and every second seemed to be as painful as a year.

The place where Mu Chendong was in seclusion and preparing for a breakthrough was a solitary snow mountain that stood proudly on the vast land. This snow mountain was majestic and magnificent, with the peak covered with snow all year round, exuding bursts of coldness, and it was not close to the crystal clear ice palace.

After all, he was facing a thunder tribulation of the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, which was not a trivial matter that could be easily ignored. The power of the thunder tribulation was enormous, and if the retreat location was too close to the Ice Palace, the violent energy fluctuations would most likely affect the Ice Palace, bringing unpredictable disasters.

This snowy mountain is desolate and lonely, without even a simple house, only a vast snowfield and biting cold wind. When Liu Jun and his companions took a flying magic weapon, passed through layers of clouds and mist, and finally arrived at the top of the snowy mountain, their eyes were instantly attracted by a scene on the open space on the top of the mountain.

There, six figures were sitting in a circle, their expressions solemn and focused, as if they were performing some mysterious ritual. In the middle of them, there was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. It was Mu Chendong. His breathing was deep and even, and his whole body was emitting a faint spiritual light. It was obvious that he was immersed in the critical moment of breakthrough.

Although it was icy and snowy at this time, the foreheads and faces of the seven people were already covered with sweat. They gritted their teeth, bearing huge pressure and pain, but their eyes were extremely firm, with no intention of retreating.

After seeing this scene, Elder Yi Ning's face changed drastically. Her deep eyes flashed with shock and worry, as if she had seen something incredible. "They...they actually entered Mu Chendong's spiritual world?" She murmured to herself, with a hint of disbelief in her voice.

After Liu Jun heard what Patriarch Yining said, he instantly understood what was going on. He frowned and stared at the seven people, as if he was thinking about something.

"Heart tribulation?" Chen Shanhe murmured softly at the side, his voice full of solemnity.

The process of overcoming tribulations is always full of unknowns and dangers, the most common of which is thunder tribulation. But not all tribulations are thunder tribulations, there may also be other forms of tribulations such as fire tribulations. However, among all these tribulations, the least common and most dangerous is the tribulation of the heart.

If the thunder tribulation is a life-or-death situation, then the heart tribulation is a silent death. It will constantly expand the obsession of the person who is going through the tribulation, causing them to lose themselves in endless pain and struggle, and eventually fall into an abyss of no return. And what Mu Chendong is facing at this moment is this terrible heart tribulation...
