Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 335 Shanhe Daozi
Seeing this, Chen Mu frowned slightly and narrowed his eyes.

His spiritual sense sensed the two figures gradually moving away. Without giving it much thought, he shook his head, chuckled softly, and stood up and left again...

……

"Young Master, your reputation is growing. Just now, a disciple approaching the late Foundation Establishment stage slowed down his speed upon seeing you as a sign of respect..."

The gray-haired old man smiled with satisfaction and praised the handsome young man in front of him.

"Uncle Heng, why bother with the actions of ordinary disciples? What I want is not their respect, but... the recognition of Xiao Qiang and the other three!"

The handsome young man smiled slightly, but his eyes suddenly flashed.

The gray-haired old man sighed softly upon hearing this and said, "Young Master, why are you so persistent? Even if the four of them disagree, you are still ranked among the Shanhe Daozi along with them..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the handsome young man with a wave of his hand.

The gray-haired old man's expression froze, and his lips kept moving, but after seeing the unhappy look on the handsome young man's face, he could only hold his anger back.

"Hengbo, what you said is wrong. I come from a small tribe in Beiyuan. If I want to achieve the Great Dao, I need the help of the forces behind them... The righteous will have many supporters, while the unrighteous will have few. This is the principle you taught me, Hengbo..."

Hearing this, the gray-haired old man sighed and stopped talking about it.

"Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing more to say... But why did you go to Lanzhi Island instead of reconciling with Xiao Qiang and the others?"

He nodded, holding back a word.

"Isn't it because of Ding Shu on Lanzhi Island that Xiao Qiang and the others look down on you now?"

The handsome young man chuckled and explained, "Before I can get the support of Xiao Qiang and the other three, I still need to rely on Ding Shu's resources..."

How could he not know what others thought? However, without Ding Shu's help, there was no way he would have been able to become a Taoist priest of mountains and rivers.

Besides, it wasn't his initiative...

After comforting themselves, the two beams of light slowly stopped on Lanzhi Island.

After descending from the clouds, the handsome young man strolled leisurely with big strides. Judging from his familiar steps, it was obvious that he often came here.

Soon, the two of them passed the reception pavilion where Chen Mu sat three days ago and headed straight for the pavilion at the back.

"Junior Sister Ding?"

The handsome young man exclaimed softly, looking quite relaxed.

After a moment, Ding Shu released the restrictions on the pavilion and came out with a smile on her face.

"I was wondering who was so familiar with my island protection formation. Turns out it's Senior Brother Fang..."

This person is Fang He, who was recently promoted to Shanhe Daozi.

She stretched out her hand and led the handsome young man to the reception pavilion.

The handsome young man's eyes flashed, and he felt a little unhappy.

In the past, Ding Shu always welcomed him into the pavilion...

"Could it be true as others say? Junior Sister Ding has re-discovered that rural cultivator named Chen Mu..."

Ding Shu seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Fang...it's been a while."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fang He's heart moved, and he realized that he understood what Ding Shu was thinking.

He smiled slightly, his expression becoming much gentler as he softly explained, "Please don't blame me, Junior Sister Ding. It's really because I've been busy cultivating since I became the Taoist of Mountains and Rivers that I've lost my skills..."

Ding Shu, on the other hand, smiled indifferently and continued to lead Fang He to sit in the reception pavilion.

Fang He's expression remained unchanged, thinking that she was still resentful, so he patiently chatted with her for a few words, and then suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Junior Sister Ding, I heard yesterday that you entertained a fellow junior three days ago. I wonder if this is true?"

Ding Shu frowned slightly and nodded in agreement.

"That man's name is Chen Mu. He has both impressive cultivation and combat prowess. He defeated Zheng Jinyan upon entering the mountain gate. More importantly... his personality is quite to my liking, and he has noble character..."

The last four words are pronounced clearly, one by one.

Fang He seemed not to have heard and continued, "Junior sister, you are still so warm and generous. I am almost wanting to get to know this junior brother..." Ding Shu smiled, her complexion was as bright as the morning glow reflecting on the snow without any makeup on.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Senior Brother. Given your two personalities... you two probably can't become good friends."

Fang He narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely jealous.

Suddenly, he turned around and ordered, "Uncle Heng, tell Junior Brother Chen that I want to see him and invite him to come here for a gathering!"

The gray-haired old man narrowed his eyes, nodded his head, and turned to leave.

"Such an invitation is really rude." Ding Shu shook her head and sighed, feeling that she owed Chen Mu three points...

Fang He disagreed and smiled slightly.

He is the Taoist of Mountains and Rivers in the long river of Fushan Mountain, and the inheritor of the mountain sect. Why would he go through so much trouble just to meet a true disciple?

"Just wait for a moment." He whispered, and then talked to Ding Shu about the difficulty of practicing and the lack of resources.

But it revealed the true purpose of this trip...

……

As for Chen Mu, he went all the way to Baoguang Island without stopping.

This island has a lot of resources, and there are always people walking around at all times.

However, most people were strangers to Chen Mu, and only a few remembered his identity.

He nodded politely to the familiar face and walked into the hall in a moment.

"Junior Brother Chen?"

A deacon disciple in a brocade robe exclaimed softly, and his expression was quite surprised.

Chen Mu smiled slightly and recognized this person.

This person's name is Li Jun. He was originally a true disciple and his cultivation level had reached the late stage of foundation building. Later, because he was unable to break through the realm, he became a deacon disciple of Baoguang Hall.

The last time Chen Mu came, he helped choose and exchange.

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you in several years."

Li Jun took two steps forward and chuckled, "Why are you here again so soon? Don't even mention that you've used up all the resources you exchanged."

A disciple who had just entered the mountain gate took out two hundred mountain and river talismans, which left a deep impression on him.

Chen Mu shook his head and chuckled, explaining the purpose of his trip.

"Second-level top-grade spiritual objects of gold, wood, and fire?"

Li Jun frowned slightly and began to recall what was hidden in the hall.

After a while, he made up his mind and led Chen Mu into the depths of the hall.

"These are what Junior Brother wants. There aren't many of them. You can choose whatever you want."

Chen Mu nodded and looked at the dozens of spiritual creatures in front of him.

"That's not much..."

He muttered inwardly and used his spiritual sense to carefully select.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Mu stood up without changing his expression and left.

The three second-grade top-grade spiritual objects used up his remaining forty mountain and river talismans, and he even took out some spirit stones to replenish them.

But these are all worth it. If one can really evolve the Small Five Elements Divine Thunder, then its potential will be at least at the level of magical powers, which is far higher than the price.

"But after this, I need to earn some spirit stones..."

Chen Mu secretly calculated in his mind, and his speed did not decrease. In a short time, he returned to Yunze Island...
