Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 636 Show
"Fellow Daoist, please don't do anything!"

"Senior, please show mercy!"

At the same time, two pleadings were heard...

Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and made a forbidden gesture to inject it into the Nascent Soul of Taoist Chonggu, and then pressed it back into his physical body.

Having experienced a life-or-death situation, even someone at the Nascent Soul stage would be terrified. Taoist Chonggu quickly called out, "Thank you, thank you, fellow Taoist..."

Chen Mu ignored it, but just glanced at Liu Tingnan for a moment, then took Taoist Chonggu and threw him at his feet, saying calmly:
"Palace Master Liu, you are free to deal with this person. However, the friendship we had before is now severed."

Lingshu Qingyuan True Water can accomplish Taoist magic, and he also owes Liu Tingnan some favors. After all, the Hunyuan Liuli Bead is precious, but it is indeed not as good as the foundation of a sect.

Now that I have received his plea, I can use this opportunity to dissipate the favor...

Liu Tingnan looked at Taoist Chonggu, whose face was gloomy, and felt confused. He looked up at Chen Mu again, his face full of complicated expressions.

She moved her lips, bowed deeply, and said, "Senior Lingyuan, Patriarch Chonggu is not only my uncle, but also the Grand Elder of my Huanyue Palace. Therefore... I cannot watch him perish..."

Chen Mu frowned slightly upon hearing this, somewhat puzzled, "Even though we are from the same lineage, why is he so harsh on you?"

Originally, he thought that there was a factional dispute in Huanyue Palace, but after listening to what Liu Tingnan said, it was not that simple.

Liu Tingnan sighed deeply and said slowly, "It's just because of that magical treasure..."

She was silent for a moment before continuing, "The magical treasure that Uncle Chonggu just used was originally the personal treasure of my master.

A few years ago, my teacher suddenly encountered a powerful enemy and was seriously injured. Before his death, he handed over the heavy responsibility of Huanyue Palace to Uncle Chonggu and me.

My master originally wanted to pass on that magical treasure to me, but at that time my cultivation level was too low to control it, so I had to give it to my uncle to keep temporarily.

However, my mentor also made an agreement with my uncle. That is, during the Jiazi year, if I can form a Nascent Soul and achieve the fourth level of achievement, I can inherit the spiritual treasure. Otherwise, it will be up to my uncle to decide..."

At this point, she shook her head slightly and sighed, "At the beginning, my uncle was wholeheartedly helping me advance, allowing me to advance from the middle stage of the Golden Core to the state of perfection in just over thirty years.

But after my uncle relied on the magic treasure to establish a great reputation in the East China Sea, his attitude gradually changed subtly. Not only did he stop helping me with my cultivation, but he also assigned all the affairs of the sect to me, leaving me no time to hone my cultivation.

More importantly, he repeatedly postponed the opportunity to exchange for the Infant Formation Spiritual Object, saying only that the time had not yet come and that there was no need to rush. This caused the younger generation's realm to stagnate, with no sign of advancement..."

Chen Mu nodded suddenly. Isn't it because he is grateful for the precious help of the spiritual treasure that he doesn't want to return it?

Liu Tingnan also sighed and bowed his head, saying in a deep voice: "In fact, this junior can see what Uncle-Master means, and has taken the initiative to talk to him about it. This junior has no intention of competing with him for the ownership of the spiritual treasure. I hope that he can consider that we are from the same lineage and not hinder me like this.

But Uncle Chonggu wanted both the spiritual treasure and fame, and just said that the agreement had been made, so how could he break it..."

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled when he heard this. No wonder Liu Tingnan agreed so readily when he saw him take out the Hunyuan Liuli Pearl. So there was a reason for this...

"Fellow Daoist Chonggu, what do you say?"

Taoist Chonggu's face turned pale and red. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed deeply and shook his head, saying, "I... have nothing to say."

Liu Tingnan made up his mind, stepped forward and bowed, saying meaningfully: "Uncle Master, spiritual treasures are external objects, how can they compare to the bond between you and me? Now that Senior Lingyuan has warned us, I hope Uncle Master can wake up." Hearing this, Taoist Chonggu's heart moved, and then he shook his head and sighed. After all, he was a cultivator, and by now he had regained his composure and said in a deep voice:
"After decades of cultivation, that magical treasure... has indeed become my obsession. Junior-Martial-Nephew Liu, I am truly ashamed of you, ashamed of Senior Sister, and ashamed of Huanyue Palace..."

Chen Mu watched indifferently from the side without saying anything to disturb them.

He could see that the two people in front of him had some tendency to show off. It was probably only at this point that they knew who was their own people.

Taoist Chonggu did this to save his life, and Liu Tingnan also knew that if Huanyue Palace lost its Nascent Soul Patriarch, it would probably collapse in an instant.

Therefore, both of them had to pretend to have come to their senses, fearing that Chen Mu would take action...

Thinking of this, Chen Mu smiled casually. He didn't have the leisure to care about the affairs of his sect. If it weren't for Taoist Chonggu's constant obstruction, there wouldn't even be a time to take action.

However, now that we have taken action, we naturally want to reap some benefits...

He turned around and waved his sleeves, then took the pair of gourds floating in the water into his pocket.

He smiled and said, "Palace Master Liu, I have accepted your mentor's legacy. I hope you won't hold a grudge against me."

Liu Tingnan raised his head, bowed deeply, and sighed, "Senior Lingyuan, I understand that if I leave this treasure with me, I will not be able to keep it.

Uncle Chonggu's cultivation is far superior to mine, yet he was still defeated by Senior. Furthermore, Uncle Chonggu and I have been locked in a stalemate for decades over this magical treasure, to the detriment of Huanyue Palace in every way.

As soon as you arrived, you took this magical treasure with you. This shows that this treasure is also destined for you. Now that you have helped Uncle Chonggu to resolve his obsession, this treasure should belong to you. Why should I have any grudges against it?"

Chen Mu nodded and praised: "Palace Master Liu is indeed a wonderful person."

He felt a little embarrassed that he could talk about a situation that was not in his favor as if it was natural.

At this time, Liu Tingnan bowed deeply to Chen Mu again and said, "Senior Lingyuan, there is something I want to talk about."

Chen Mu was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Palace Master, please feel free to speak."

Liu Tingnan pondered for a moment and then said tentatively, "Senior, you and my Huanyue Palace are truly destined to be together. It's a pity that you are unwilling to condescend to be the Grand Elder. However, the position of Elder is not appropriate, so you are more interested in being a guest official... Senior, are you interested?"

"Your guest?"

Liu Tingnan nodded and said, "That's right, a guest official is like a tribute. You don't need to practice in my palace, you just need to have a title in my palace.

You have become a guest official of our sect. If you have any requests, please give me your orders. I and everyone in Huanyue Palace will obey your orders!"

After saying this, Chen Mu nodded slowly, looked at her with a half-smile, and thought to himself, "If that's the case, I might accept the position of guest official..."

He has not forgotten about Ao Yi. If he really wants to help, his own strength may not be enough. If he can unite the strength of others, it may be a good idea.

Thinking of this, he laughed out loud and said, "Palace Master Liu is right. Huanyue Palace... is indeed closely connected to me!"

Liu Tingnan understood the hidden meaning and immediately showed his joy. He bowed and said, "Disciple pays homage to the Lingyuan Patriarch!"
