Chapter 633: Huanyue Lake in Huanyue Palace

Now that the decision has been made, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Chen Mu slowly exhaled a breath of fresh air, then stood up, tidied himself up, and strode out of the cave.

Sensing the commotion, Xiao Qi, who was cultivating within the Long River of the Heavens, leaped out, knelt nearby, and asked, "Master, have you come out of retreat now? Has your cultivation been completed?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly, without saying much, and only instructed: "It's still a little short, so I plan to travel around and will return within two years. If Patriarch Tianxing comes looking for me, you can tell me the truth."

Xiao Qi immediately nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing this, Chen Mu nodded slightly, and then used his profound skills to determine the direction of the water veins.

After he understood everything clearly, he didn't hesitate any longer. He waved his sleeves and soared into the sky. In an instant, he broke through the mountain gate and disappeared into the sky...

A year later, Taoist Tianxing, who had also been in seclusion for a long time, came out of the cave. The first thing he did was to run to Nanming Mountain to ask Chen Mu how his preparations were going.

But after arriving, he discovered that there was only one Jindan demon cultivator left in the entire mountain. After asking the reason, he nodded and guessed the purpose of Chen Mu's trip.

"It seems that he must have mastered the technique of Fuyao Qingxuanfeng, otherwise he wouldn't be thinking of advancing to Lingshu Qingyuan Zhenshui..."

Thinking of this, he felt relieved, collected some Wuliqinghao tea leaves, and left the mountain.

This time he was quite leisurely, but when he climbed the mountain next time, he was very anxious...

The sun rises and the moon sets, and another ten months pass.

There are only two months left until the ten-year agreement is fulfilled, and if we deduct the time wasted on the road, there is not much free time left.

Nanming Mountain.

At this time, Taoist Tianxing had lost interest in drinking tea. He paced in the temple, sighing from time to time.

"What day is it now? Why haven't you come back yet?"

He muttered to himself for a while, then turned to Xiao Qi and asked, "Didn't he tell you where he was going to travel?"

Xiao Qi pursed his lips, quite speechless, simply because Taoist Tian Xing had asked the same question no less than several times.

"Replying to the ancestor, the master only said that he would travel to various places, but did not specify where..."

"Ugh."

Hearing this, Taoist Tian Xing sighed, his eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "Could it be that this kid has gone to another continent? Otherwise, why hasn't he made any move in Beiyuan..."

He pondered for a moment, and finally had no choice but to wave his sleeves and leave. Before turning around, he did not forget to say something.

"When he comes back, have him look for me first..."

……

East China Sea, Huanyue Sea Area.

Huanyue Palace in Huanyue Sea Area, and Huanyue Lake inside Huanyue Palace.

As a human cultivator in the Huanyue Sea, there is no one who does not know this sentence.

This is because the sea area is not very vast, and only the Huanyue Palace dominates it.

The most famous place here is the fourth-level spiritual lake in Huanyue Palace.

Being able to own a fourth-order water vein above the East China Sea shows that Huanyue Palace has a profound foundation. Even though it has declined slightly in recent years, there is only one Nascent Soul ancestor in the entire sect, and few people dare to cause trouble.

As a result, all the cultivators in Huanyue Palace were proud of it and acted more and more recklessly, often causing cultivators from other sects in this sea area to be angry but dare not speak out.

However, the situation changed slightly before that three months...

That day, a Taoist priest came on a cloud and paid homage to Zong Huanyue.

Seeing that the Taoist had profound cultivation and had even reached the Nascent Soul stage, the Palace Master of Huanyue Palace hurriedly opened the palace gates and welcomed the Taoist in.

At first, everyone thought that the Taoist was just here to visit friends, but after three rounds of drinks, the Taoist actually asked to borrow the Huanyue Lake!
Huanyue Lake is the foundation of Huanyue Palace. How can it be easily lent to others for use?

Just when they thought Huanyue Palace would slam the table and send their guests away, unexpectedly the Taoist took out a magical object as a gift.

No one knew what kind of spiritual object it was, but the Palace Master of Huanyue Palace looked tempted. Besides, his own Nascent Soul ancestor was out at sea visiting friends and was not in the palace, so he actually agreed.

This result was naturally not welcomed by other forces. They were still hoping that Huanyue Palace would have a big fight with the Taoist priest so that they could benefit from it.

But the real owners have reached a consensus, and no matter how much they want to, they can do nothing about it.

I could only sigh secretly. Even if I was the overlord of a region, I had to lower my posture after encountering a Nascent Soul powerhouse...

Huanyue Palace, in the main hall. Inside the spacious hall, there were only two figures, a beautiful woman and an old man.

The beautiful woman sat at the head of the table, her body covered by a moon-white long skirt, her black hair combed into a flying bun, appearing ethereal and having a bit of the temperament of a moon-lit fairy.

The old man had silver hair and beard, and looked dignified. He looked very good, but at this moment his brows were tightly furrowed, making him look a little cold.

He frowned for a long time, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore and said in a cold voice: "Palace Master, you took the initiative to sell the Spirit Lake in my palace to others. When the ancestor returns, I will tell you the truth about your actions!"

The beautiful woman looked calm, not at all afraid of the old man's threats. However, due to the situation, she still asked, "That Taoist priest is a Nascent Soul cultivator. How can I refuse him?"

"What is the Palace Master afraid of?"

The old man immediately shouted loudly, "My Huanyue Palace is protected by a fourth-level formation. As long as the Palace Master thinks about it, he can send that Taoist out of the palace. By then, he won't dare to openly attack our sect!"

The beautiful woman sneered inwardly, but remained calm on her face. She replied, "The power of a Nascent Soul is beyond the ability of you and me to predict. One careless mistake could plunge the entire palace into danger. As the head of a palace, I absolutely cannot take such a risk."

The old man refused to give in. His eyes flashed as he said coldly, "I think the Palace Master is not afraid, but unwilling... After all, the Primordial Glazed Bead that the Taoist took out is something the Palace Master has been thinking about day and night."

The beautiful woman's expression changed quietly, and her tone suddenly darkened: "Elder Wu, please be careful with your words. The Taoist priest is currently practicing beside Huanyue Lake. If he were to learn what you just said, he would definitely resent you!"

"Why would I be afraid of him? Ancestor..."

The old man snorted coldly and was about to bring up his ancestor to boost his courage, but before he could finish, he saw clouds suddenly surge above the Huanyue Lake behind the main hall, and the sound of flowing water could be heard.

The beautiful woman's heart moved, and without saying anything more to him, she jumped up and rushed straight there.

The old man paused when he saw this, and when he saw the beautiful woman move away, he gritted his teeth and followed her.

It didn't take long for the two of them to see a clear and bright spiritual lake of a hundred acres, with rippling waves, and waterfowl swimming leisurely. There were rugged rocks on the lakeside and green shades to provide shade.

In the shade of the trees, a Taoist suddenly appeared, his sleeves waving, striding over. He was surrounded by water, and his Taoist charm was inexplicable, extremely extraordinary!
Who else could this Taoist be if not Chen Mu?

The beautiful woman bowed and said respectfully, "Senior Lingyuan, I wonder if you can get what you wish for?

Chen Mu laughed out loud, his expression extremely happy, and nodded in response: "Thank you very much for this trip, Palace Master Liu."

The beautiful woman quickly replied, "Senior, please don't be polite. You are exchanging spiritual objects for me. This is what I should do."

Seeing that she was so understanding, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, the silver-haired old man also came forward, bowed his head and saluted, without saying much, and followed the beautiful woman silently.

Chen Mu's heart was moved. He could naturally see that the two people in front of him had different opinions and seemed to be in disagreement.

However, he didn't have the time to seek everyone's consent. Since the palace master was the one in charge here, he only needed to convince the beautiful woman.

"Now that this matter is over, I have achieved what I wished for. Palace Master Liu, I will take my leave now."

He nodded and saluted, then turned around and fled away.

The beautiful woman suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly, "Wait a minute, senior!"

"What else does the Palace Master need?"

The beautiful woman paused for a moment, then pondered for a moment before speaking, "Master Daoist, your cultivation is profound. I wonder if you would be interested in... becoming the Grand Elder of my Huanyue Palace?"

As soon as these words came out, before Chen Mu could react, the old man beside him suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed, "Palace Master, please think twice. The position of the Grand Elder is of great importance, and the decision will be made after the ancestor returns!"

Seeing his big reaction, Chen Mu snorted coldly, showing his intimidation without even getting angry.

The old man's face turned pale and he bowed hurriedly.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged. He replied in a slow tone, "I'm sorry to disappoint Palace Master Liu. I'm not a cultivator from the East China Sea and have no intention of cultivating here. Farewell."

"senior……"

The beautiful woman wanted to ask again, but after seeing Chen Mu's cold expression, her heart sank and she dared not say anything more.

Chen Mu nodded secretly in his heart when he saw this. With his keen eyesight, he could see that Palace Master Liu really wanted him to be his backer, otherwise he would not have taken the risk to agree to his request.

But as he said before, the gift of the Infant-forming Spiritual Object was a gift in exchange. Even if he had taken advantage of it, it was far from enough to repay it...

However, seeing that she was so understanding, he finally relaxed his expression and said, "Palace Master Liu, if you need anything in the future, you can come to Beiyuan Fushan Changhe to find me..."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and was about to fly away.

But at this moment, a cold light came from afar and approached, and in a moment, it had entered the Huanyue Palace.
