Who brought this guy into the monastic circle?.

Chapter 377 Small Porcelain Bottle

The dark shadow quietly sneaked into the Xiao Mansion with the help of various reflections under the moonlight.

All this was done silently, as if blending into the surroundings.

So much so that the guards of the Xiao Mansion could only watch the shadows moving forward without doing anything.

In their eyes, this shadow was no different from the black shadows in various corners of the courtyard.

After returning to the room, the shadow revealed Xiao Shui's true appearance.

This adventure is just to confirm whether the stone is the real body of the fire spirit.

At the critical moment, he was only separated from the stone by a curtain, but he ultimately did not choose to take action.

"Nine Transcendent Realms from the Nine Sects, one from the Monastic Academy, and Han Yu..."

There are eleven transcendent realm masters nearby. It is already extremely risky to get close. It would be extremely difficult to take the stone away quietly.

“It’s not easy!”

His original intention was not to cause any big noise, otherwise he would not have been lurking in the Xiao Mansion.

But there is no doubt that this group of people are also coming for the Fire Spirit. I have the spirit in my hands, and they have the real body in their hands. It is impossible for both sides not to encounter each other. It is only a matter of time.

I couldn't think of a way to avoid the fight.

Xiao Shui could still think of a way to deal with the other people, but he really couldn't get around Han Yu.

It is rumored that Han Yu is good at fire, so it goes without saying that his purpose in wanting the Fire Spirit.

Then there is no room for easing of tensions between the two sides.

Han Yu couldn't give him the stone, and he couldn't give him the spirit either.

"I really don't want to confront you."

So far, there are only two people that Xiao Shui is unwilling to offend. One is the one who found him in southern Xinjiang, and the other is Han Yu.

Firstly, it was the favor of Han Yu for the two pills that saved his life, otherwise the Tianshui Sect would have destroyed him that day.

Secondly, they were Han Yu’s pills. Just two pills would allow him to ascend to heaven in one step and touch the threshold of the transcendent realm.

Only after he actually started practicing did he truly understand how important the two pills were.

For someone of his age who has entered the Transcendent Realm, he was very confident that the number would not exceed one palm. At least, no matter how outstanding the disciples of the nine sects on the so-called Prodigy List were, they were only infinitely close to that.

He is different. He only needs to take two sips of the elixir to save others countless years of hard training.

Therefore, he was as wary of Han Yu as Han Yu's elixir was terrifying.

Crunch!

He reopened the door of Beiyuan and came to the Fire Spirit again.

The flames suddenly lit up the dim space. When the duck's head poked out, the green eyes were very angry and kept cawing.

A spark popped out and flew towards him. When it was about to fall, Xiao Shui was unwilling to catch it and dodged it with a flash.

"Quack quack..."

The duck's quack became sharper and another spark flew out.

Xiao Shui also dodged it, but the fire spirit was so angry that it jumped up and down. If it weren't for the force suppressing it, it would have jumped out and pecked him to death in the first place.

"I can't let you go, and you can't help me either. There's no point in talking to me."

"Quack quack..."

The fire spirit was screaming with anger and its green eyes were wide open.

Xiao Shui ignored him. His purpose of coming here was not to quarrel with the Fire Spirit. His target was the other thing in the cauldron.

He snapped his fingers and a fluorescent light suddenly appeared in the cauldron, and then a white porcelain bottle with a moon rose from it.

The fire spirit deliberately wanted to make trouble, and when he saw this, he immediately pecked at it with his mouth.

However, the porcelain bottle seemed to be stronger than it had imagined. After a few bites, not only did the porcelain bottle not move at all, but its spirit body swayed and floated, almost shattering its form.

"Quack quack..."

The fire spirit opened its duck mouth and uttered a few words.

"By the time we get your real body, your captors should be here too."

Xiao Shui glanced at it with pity and shook his head.

The fire spirit froze for no reason, as if it remembered something terrible, and suddenly became quiet.

A spark spurted out of its mouth. This time Xiao Shui didn't dodge. After the spark sank into its body, the fire spirit spoke again.

"Can you please let the poor old duck go? The old duck wants to live. The old duck doesn't want to die."

That scary guy could definitely kill me.

It can't help but be afraid.

"I'm sorry, you're afraid. I'm afraid too."

Xiao Shui shook his head helplessly and refused. "Let the old duck go, and when the old duck returns to its original form, the old duck will help you break through the fourth-level magical power."

The Fire Spirit tried his best to persuade.

"Can you defeat the people who are trying to capture you if you return to your original form?"

Xiao Shui was silent for a moment, then he asked.

"Gah..."

The Fire Spirit seemed to be stumped by the question and was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"I'll take you with me when the old duck runs away."

"Then you should stay by yourself!"

Even the Fire Spirit only dared to think about running away after returning to its original form, so Xiao Shui still understood what to choose.

"You can't kill the old duck. The old duck is a spirit of heaven and earth. A temporary death does not mean the end forever. The passage of time will eventually allow the old duck to revive in another way."

The Fire Spirit gave up trying to persuade him and said with his neck stiff.

"But you were no longer yourself at that time."

Xiao Shui shook his head and walked out.

After coming out of Beiyuan, Xiao Shui walked back along Langfang, and the coldness in his hands penetrated into his heart.

He stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at his own shadow.

The shadow is still the same shadow.

But Xiao Shui knew that from the moment he planned to use the porcelain bottle, he would no longer be the same person...

……

“I miss my old self so much.”

When Ling Wuce came over early in the morning, he was already filled with emotion before he even said anything else, which made Han Yu look at him sideways.

Have you ever thought about how I should respond to such philosophical words so early in the morning?
"You don't want to come here so early in the morning to discuss the Dao, do you?"

Han Yu rolled his eyes at him. He still hasn't changed his bad habit of always liking to talk about philosophy!

"I quit long ago."

Ling Wu Ce curled his lips. He didn't have time to discuss the Dao.

"Then what are you lamenting about?"

Han Yu was curious.

Ling Wu Ce stretched out his old arms and legs and beat them up. He was clearly a great monk, but he pretended to be an old and weak person.

He kept complaining, "Didn't you notice that Mr. Gao stopped caring about things after he took the Liu Xiao Dan?"

A deputy director of the Supervisory Department is here, but all the work of the Supervisory Department is given to him.

"Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and even more afraid of helping the wrong person."

Ling Wuce sighed. If he had known earlier, he would not have been fooled by Quan Xiaotong into representing the Supervisory Office to do business with the Mohist School.

If you don't go, you don't have to run around.

If you don't run around, you don't have to work for the Inspectorate.

If Quan Xiaotong doesn't work for the Supervisory Office, he won't become more and more adept at his job.

"I'm an old man, and I'm only now becoming the head of intelligence. This is ridiculous!"

Ling Wu Ce stroked his white beard and said with a wry smile.

He was truly moved from the bottom of his heart. In the past, as a deputy leader of Lingjing Tower, he was only responsible for compiling scriptures on cultivation. At most, he also served as the deputy dean of the cultivation academy.

When I’m in a good mood, I’ll go to the cultivation class. In my spare time, I’ll find someone to discuss Taoism with to improve my cultivation of Taoism.

It will be more comfortable than now.

"You can't really be here to complain, can you?"

After listening to this, Han Yu smiled at first, but soon spoke with a smile.

"I'm just complaining here. I must have something to ask you."

Ling Wu Ce found a place to sit down before he spoke.

The matter was still the same as before. A local garrison kept the information about the existence of a transcendent cultivator in Liancheng secret, which made it hard for Ling Wuce not to become suspicious.

You know, no matter they are from the Garrison Department or the Supervisory Department, or even if they are disciples from other sects who are sent to guard the city, they all know that it is their duty to find out the forces around the city.

There is a family with a transcendent monk in charge here, but a monk who came from the garrison department kept silent about it.

Who would believe it if nothing happened?
