Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 303 The truth comes out
"Friend Xu, Friend Xu..."

After being called several times, Xu Jingyang suddenly coughed lightly, and some blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Cough cough cough..."

As if a switch was turned on, he slowly opened his eyes after coughing continuously.

"Where is this?"

Chen Mu's eyes darkened. Where is this? That's what I wanted to ask you...

"Who are you?" Xu Jingyang was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said with a wry smile, "Did he capture you too?"

When he was fleeing before, he was so focused on escaping that he didn't notice Chen Mu above the clouds in front of him. It was not until Chen Mu turned around and ran away that he realized he was there.

"You're unlucky enough to have met me..."

Chen Mu had no intention of chatting about this unexpected disaster. He frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Friend Xu, can you tell me where this place is?"

"It should be the secret place of the Palace of Eternal Life..."

Xu Jingyang murmured, but for some reason, he didn't feel much urgency. He turned to Chen Mu and asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"I'm Chen Mu from Shuiyunjian," Chen Mu replied, then continued, "Why is that blue-shirted Immortal pursuing you so relentlessly?"

He had escaped too quickly before and didn't hear the Blue Shirt Master's voice.

Xu Jingyang sneered and said, "During the battle with Mu Country, I killed his direct disciple!"

After saying this, he changed his tone and angrily cursed: "You old beast who has no respect for the elderly and no sense of shame, when I reach the Golden Elixir realm, I will kill you on the road!"

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes, ignored his curses, and asked the biggest question in his mind:
"Who is he, and why did he help the evil sect to do such evil things?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Jingyang's eyes narrowed as well. He looked at Chen Mu for a long time before he laughed and said, "We are both people who have been cast away from home. Well, I will tell you!"

"That old beast's name is Lan Tianyi. He is a renowned Jindan cultivator from our Beiyuan Continent. His cultivation and combat power are quite impressive, and his status is even more noble!"

Chen Mu's heart was moved, but he didn't show it on his face.

Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Xu Jingyang continued, "In the vast Beiyuan Continent, there are countless immortal cultivation sects like your Shuiyunjian. If you are strong, you may be famous in several countries, but if you are placed in the entire Beiyuan, you will not cause any waves."

"But there are three families whose inheritances are different. Their names are not only well-known in Beiyuan, but even cultivators in other states have heard of them!"

"It's simply because its inheritance has been around for thousands of years, yet it still stands strong. Within the sect, there are countless Foundation Establishment cultivators, as well as a large number of Golden Core cultivators. Even more rare and precious is that there are even several Nascent Soul cultivators..."

"Nascent Soul cultivator!" Chen Mu's pupils shrank. He didn't feel anything just now, until the word Nascent Soul appeared, he realized that it was extraordinary.

The Nascent Soul cultivator is almost the highest realm in this world...

Seeing his shocked expression, Xu Jingyang said with a rather smug look, "These three inheritances also have their own rankings. The first one must be Xuantian Mansion. They have five Nascent Soul cultivators, so it ranks first without a doubt!"

"As for the remaining two, they are Fushan Changhe and Feixing Dao Palace. They also have a long history, but in the past thousand years, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in their family is slightly inferior to Xuantian Mansion, with only three or four of them."

"However, precisely because the two families are of similar strength, they dislike each other. Each claims to be stronger than the other, and they fight openly and covertly."

"But in the final analysis, they are all trying to gain more resources from the Northern Plains. Otherwise, why would an old Nascent Soul monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years be so childish and constantly arguing..."

Xu Jingyang spoke freely, his tone defending Fushan Changhe and belittling Feixing Taoist Palace.

Seeing that he still didn't get to the point, Chen Mu couldn't help but gently remind him, "Is that Blue Shirt Immortal from one of the two?" Xu Jingyang nodded and said, "That old beast Lan Tianyi, even though he's not a very good person, he's still the Tianyuan Palace Master of Feixing Dao Palace. If you exclude that old Nascent Soul monster, his status can be ranked in the top five in Feixing Dao Palace!"

Chen Mu's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and he nodded slightly before continuing to ask, "With such status, why would you choose such an evil path of cultivation?"

Xu Jingyang sneered and replied, "Throughout history, all the evil cultivators have done was for the sole purpose of improving their cultivation, practicing magic, and finding peace of mind. It's just that their methods are a bit inhumane that they are labeled evil cultivators!"

"I naturally dislike evil ways of cultivation, but it's hard to say for others, especially the Feixing Dao Palace, which has successively achieved the ascension of two Nascent Soul cultivators!"

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that he was about to encounter the truth of this disaster.

Xu Jingyang continued, "After losing two Nascent Soul cultivators, Feixing Dao Palace's position is in jeopardy. In order to preserve their resources, they urgently need to add another Nascent Soul cultivator."

"But it's not that easy to find a Nascent Soul cultivator. After careful consideration, I can only choose this unorthodox path of cultivation."

"Extracting the power of the spiritual vein is to nourish a Nascent Soul cultivator?" Chen Mu came to his senses and asked in a low voice.

Xu Jingyang nodded and shook his head repeatedly, causing Chen Mu to frown immediately.

"Yes and no."

"The Flying Star Dao Palace draws on the power of the spiritual veins in order to cultivate the fourth-grade, top-grade spiritual material, Manjushage..."

Chen Mu shook his head in his heart. He had never heard of such a spiritual object.

"This flower has many benefits, one of which, and the most precious, is that it can increase the chances of forming a fetus for a cultivator who has reached the Perfect Golden Core stage by as much as 30%!"

"Thirty percent..." Xu Jingyang smacked his lips repeatedly, his expression full of envy.

"Manjushage has been extinct since ancient times. I don't know where the Feixing Dao Palace got the method to cultivate it. It seems that they have really managed to create a rough appearance of it."

Chen Mu's eyes flickered, his heart was extremely agitated, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

He had only just reached the foundation-building stage when he was already forced to get involved in someone else's struggle to form an infant...

Xu Jingyang was still sighing and observing the situation in the stone chamber.

After a moment, Chen Mu came back to his senses. With a thought in his mind, he said quietly, "Fellow Daoist Xu... you must be a disciple of Fushan Changhe Sect, right?"

"How do you know?" Xu Jingyang exclaimed lightly, quite surprised, but he did not hide it.

Chen Mu's eyes twitched. His words were full of defense of Fushan Changhe and disparagement of Feixing Dao Palace. Add to that his appearances on the battlefields of Mu and Zhao countries. It would be strange if he didn't notice something was wrong...

However, after receiving his definite reply, Chen Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he has learned about Feixing Taoist Palace's actions here, Fushan Changhe must also know about it. If the two fight, neither side will succeed.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu asked, "Friend Xu, when will your sect's master arrive?"

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, Xu Jingyang collapsed as if deflated, with a complicated tone.

"I don't know either. When I was young, I received some inheritance and guidance from a Jindan Zhenren from Fushan Changhe. I have never actually been to the mountain gate..."

"However, I have already discovered this place and sent a message to my enlightened master long ago, but for some reason, he has not responded..."
