Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

Mo Xin smiled but said nothing.

Seeing this expression, Yang Rongzi knew what he was thinking, and said with a sad heart: "I also lost the bet."

Chapter 156 Good Fortune

"This cave will be yours from now on!"

Yang Rongzi took a last reluctant look at the cave beneath him, feeling a little pain in his flesh.

This cave was originally a piece of high-quality spiritual jade, which was carved into its current appearance. He hasn't even lived in it for a few days!

What he meant by this was that he had already tacitly acknowledged that Anle would be able to join Taixu Palace.

Mo Xin smiled and said, "Then...give it to the Ghost-faced Man for me."

Hearing this, Yang Rongzi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Is this gift too expensive?"

It’s not that he was reluctant to leave this cave. After all, he was willing to accept the defeat. Although he felt sad, he couldn’t afford to lose.

But you must know that a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.

Such a spiritual jade cave, not to mention the Golden Elixir, even the Nascent Soul and the Divine Transformation would be tempted by it, and might even bring disaster upon themselves.

"Since you are a disciple of my Taixu Palace, what does this little thing matter to you?"

Mo Xin replied lightly.

But his expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "My main body has encountered some minor troubles, and I can't be distracted for the time being. This place... I'll leave it to you."

Yang Rongzi's expression also became solemn. The only person who could make Mo Xin attach so much importance to him could be the deity of the Da Tai Divine Dynasty!

"I will rush to the battlefield immediately after I bring the new disciples back to the sect."

It was noon.

The weather was extremely sunny. There were a few white clouds floating in the clear blue sky, which looked empty and lonely, with a sense of vast beauty.

But near the surface, there is a very lively scene.

There was an endless stream of monks riding magical instruments, and the whistling sound made people's eardrums hurt.

In the towns and cities of Yuntian Territory, the streets are crowded with cars and people.

They were either talking loudly, holding food, or calling friends, looking excited and curious.

Today is the day when Taixu Palace announces the results of the trial.

Even if this trial was forced to be suspended, the first half of the trial was enough to select outstanding talents to join Taixu Palace.

Most people wanted to witness the end of this grand event with their own eyes, so they gathered in the town, making it even more lively than usual.

******

In a luxurious restaurant.

A storyteller enthusiastically explained: "At that time, the ghost-faced man was seen wearing black armor, riding a mighty black panther, and charging at the millions of evil spirits alone. He was like a single man blocking the pass, and ten thousand could not get through. Just one man scared the enemy and made them flee. They fought for three days and three nights, and even the sky was dyed blood red. Only then did they kill all the evil creatures. This ghost-faced man also had two confidantes. Let me tell you some of their beautiful past stories..."

"Are you really that brave?"

The other guests in the restaurant couldn't help but talk about it.

“I think that’s a bit exaggerated, right?

Someone analyzed it more calmly.

"But the Ghost-Faced Man is indeed a rare genius. I saw on the list that the number of his jade pieces increased by dozens in one day. He is undoubtedly the top of the list."

His companion also echoed: "It is said that even Master Wuhen respects him very much!"

"hiss……"

Many guests gasped. Just this sentence is enough to show that the ghost-masked man is extraordinary.

Some people didn't care about that at all and said to the storyteller: "Go on with your beautiful past. I want to hear it."

"Tell me another one that costs five spirit stones."

During this period of time, the name of the Ghost-Faced Man became unrivaled, and even Yun Wuhen could not compare to him.

His deeds were passed down orally among monks and mortals alike, so much so that more than a dozen versions were made up, some of which were quite outrageous.

Apart from the sudden increase in the number of jade pieces on the list, Anle's fame comes from those monks who survived the Luohun ruins by chance.

Their experience in the relic space made them completely impressed by Anle, and every time they mentioned him, they expressed their utmost admiration for him.

It would be fine if it was just one or two, but Anle saved quite a few people this time, and they were all famous people - those who were not strong enough would have died in the fight with the evil spirits.

Hence the current situation.

******

"So, the Ghost-faced Man is really going to join the Taixu Palace?"

"Ah, I never thought that someone could surpass Master Wuhen in Yuntian Domain. However, there must be more than one spot. Let's guess who else can be selected."

"Do I need to ask? There must be Master Wuhen!"

"Speaking of which, there has been no news of the jade-faced scholar Lu Bin for a long time."

"Most likely...he died somewhere?"

While people were talking excitedly, in a corner of the restaurant, a man and a woman were in a depressed mood and the atmosphere was gloomy.

Zhang Lang was the first to speak: "Haven't you heard anything about Brother Lu?"

Jiang Yulan nodded sullenly.

Although the two had joined the Moving Mountains Sect, they did not always follow the main group and still maintained their personal freedom.

What they missed most was Lu Bin, who had saved their lives before. If it weren't for his help several times, the two of them would probably have died in some crisis.

However, since a certain day some time ago, Zhang Lang and Jiang Yulan have not heard of Lu Bin's deeds again, and even the number of jade pieces on the ranking list has not changed at all.

"Could it be that Brother Lu has really already..."

Zhang Lang frowned and spoke in disbelief.

Jiang Yulan opened her mouth, wanting to refute this conjecture, but in the end she could only sigh dejectedly.

Just then, there was a sudden commotion among the guests next to them.

"Friend Du, long time no see, how are you these days?"

"Hey, Brother Du, why are you interested in coming to our shop today?"

The two turned to look at the crowd and saw a young man in a brand new Taoist robe walking into the restaurant.

Jiang Yulan recognized this person. He was a weapon refiner named "Du Fenghua" who seemed to have had some contact with Lu Bin.

He was an unknown little-known figure before, but a few days ago, he suddenly had an epiphany. Not only did he break through to the foundation-building stage in one go, his weapon refining level also greatly improved. He was even recruited into a famous weapon refining sect nearby and accepted as a disciple by a Jindan elder.

Overnight, his status and strength changed drastically, making many common cultivators envious. Naturally, the attitudes of those cultivators who had previously mocked him also changed drastically.

But others only saw Du Fenghua's rise, but failed to see the efforts behind him.

Of course, Du Fenghua would never forget that it was that man's appreciation that made him persevere and eventually achieve his current situation.

He will always remember this kindness.

Ignoring those flatterers, Du Fenghua walked straight to Jiang Yulan and the other person and asked, "Were you talking about Fellow Daoist Lü Bin just now?"

Zhang Lang responded directly: "That's right."

Jiang Yulan asked anxiously, "Do you know where he is?"

Du Fenghua hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Don't worry about Fellow Daoist Lu's safety. At this point, it should be safe to tell you this secret."

"Lü Bin is one of the aliases of the Ghost-Faced Man!"

"What!?"

The two couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaimed in disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Lang never dreamed of connecting these two identities together. His first reaction was that the other party was teasing him, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was some possibility.

Jiang Yulan recalled how they had flattered the Ghost-Faced Man in front of Lu Bin, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

******

It didn't take long.

In the vast and empty sky, a ripple suddenly appeared. It was not very obvious at first, but in an instant it looked like a surging wave.

when--

Similar to the beginning of the trial, the deep sound of bells echoed melodiously with an ancient rhythm.

Indescribable changes were taking place in the world.

The extremely noisy crowd quickly quieted down.

People felt an invisible wave washing over their bodies, and the spiritual energy in their bodies became faintly active.

This is a small favor from Taixu Palace. Regardless of success or failure, since you have come to participate in this trial, you can get some benefits from it.

Yang Rongzi's old face slowly appeared, and every cultivator in the Yuntian Realm could see it.

No matter how many times you see this scene, it will make you tremble with fear and feel a silent sense of oppression.

He said solemnly: "This Grand Void Trial has come to an end. Now the list of candidates will be announced."

"Gu Qiutong."

"Cloud without trace."

"Bai Xianyou..."

Yang Rongzi began to call out names one by one, and everyone found that these were basically the people at the top of the list, but they were not recited in order.

The list is not long, there are only nine people in total.

To people's surprise, even Gan Bing, Hu Chunsheng and Xiong Batian were among them, but... the name of the ghost-faced man Anle was nowhere to be heard.

There was a small commotion among the crowd, and many people had strange looks on their faces.

"Could it be that the ghost-faced man who was so much talked about before was not selected?"

"Is it that Taixu Palace deliberately suppresses him? Or is he just a figurehead in name only?"

A monk expressed sympathy: "This is too tragic..."

Some people even began to gloat over his misfortune: "Haha, even the Taixu Palace doesn't recognize him, the Ghost Face Man is nothing more than this!"

They knew that they had no chance of being selected, but jealousy took over and they were naturally hostile to those monks who had occupied the places.

In the Banshan Cult's team, Gan Bing heard his name and showed an ecstatic look at first, but soon frowned: "How could it be..."

Gu Qiutong, Bai Xianyou and others all had similar reactions.

Xiong Batian was very angry and was about to yell at the sky, but was stopped by Hu Chunsheng. He said calmly, "Relax, don't be anxious."

Then, Yang Rongzi continued.

"The above nine people are the candidates for the Taixu Palace."

"Preparatory disciples? Are they different from regular disciples?"

Many people immediately noticed this carefully, but in the face of such pressure, no one dared to ask questions.

"If these nine people can pass the next step of the assessment, they can become official disciples of my Taixu Palace."

Yang Rongzi seemed to have anticipated their reaction and explained slowly.

"There is another person, the only official disciple in this trial—the ghost-faced man, Anle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ten people whose names were called emitted a little spiritual light from their bodies, and then their bodies became light and floated straight up into the air.

Peace and happiness are naturally included.

After hearing these words, Qian Bing and the others finally felt relieved and congratulated him with their eyes.

The many monks below were in an uproar.
