As a result, it is possible to achieve success.

In the dim little house, the light from the spirit stone made Huo Le's face more three-dimensional. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and his two rough, slightly aged hands emitted a little spiritual power: "Spirit stone, spirit stone, tell me, what is the most talented disciple in the sect doing!"

Spirit Stone: “…”

"Shh."

The earthen building drew aside the curtains and the shadows receded.

"Hey, brother, come back to your senses."

Mu Ling sat aside with her long legs crossed, glanced at Elder Huo, and said speechlessly: "Brother, please let it go. It's just an ordinary communication spirit stone, not an ancient artifact. You can't peek into the privacy of a girl."

"Hey, don't say such harsh words. What do you mean by peeping into someone's privacy?"

Elder Huo Le had a well on his head, and couldn't help saying: "I just feel itchy in my heart. I always think that Xiaoli can turn away from the dark and turn to the bright, so I turned around and said that I will work hard and revitalize the sect!"

"uh-huh."

Mu Ling didn't even turn her head, but carefully trimmed her nails and said casually: "You are just thinking about it, but you are actually very conflicted, right?

On the one hand, he didn't want to make his disciples sad, but on the other hand, he was thinking about revitalizing the sect...

To be honest, you have done a great job over the years, and everyone has seen it and remembered it.

Even when facing the Master, you are the one with the clearest conscience, and the Master will be pleased with you."

"uh-huh."

Tulou leaned against a shelf and spread his hands, saying, “We have stopped them once before, and everyone has seen the final result.

Cultivation also requires a calm mind. It is difficult to calm down and settle the spirit. Let alone making progress, it is good enough if you don’t go astray!”

"I know, I know. I understand all of this."

Huo Le sighed and said, “How terrifying is the thunder tribulation when a Jindan is promoted to Yuanying. Throughout history, countless people with outstanding talents have been reduced to ashes by it.

Even Master had specifically warned us before we left that unless we were completely sure, we should never try to touch the Nascent Soul.

But he didn't say to what extent we can be completely sure of it. "

"Well, let me think about it..."

Tulou Mu Ling raised his eyes upwards, and his memories were brought back.

[Ah, when you feel it is okay, then it is okay! Yeah, the right time! ]

"..."

"Master, he..."

Black lines appeared above the earth building.

"It's the same as not saying it..."

Mu Ling held her forehead in silence.

"Think about it, the current Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation world..."

Huo Le counted on his fingers: "Master Gu Jian from Wujing Sword Sect, Elder Shanxing from Puxingchen Sect, Taoist Priest Dingjiang and Taoist Priest Dinghai from Qiuxian Sect...

I want to ask for advice, but either the dragon is nowhere to be found, or I am too busy with work to find the opportunity."

"What's the point of asking for advice? Wasn't Master's realm higher than theirs?"

Tulou said nonchalantly: "In the end, he didn't say much to us. We still have to figure it out on our own."

“I heard that the cultivators in the past did not call the thunder tribulation they encountered when they broke through the Nascent Soul stage a thunder tribulation…”

Mu Ling pointed out his finger and sighed, "People call thunder tribulations heavenly blessings, and regard them as blessings from heaven. They think that they are sent by heaven to help them split their golden elixir and complete the final sublimation. Not only are they not afraid, but they are also looking forward to it. As a result, in our current cultivation world..."

Ancient monk: Huh? No way, can someone die after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage? If a thunderbolt passes by, it will be slapped twice! Take my punch first!

Now the monks: Wuuuu, there is friction with other sects, it’s terrible, let’s close the mountain quickly to avoid intensifying the conflict, wuuuu, please don’t let the disaster fall on me!

Earthen building: “…”

Huo Le: “…”

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 196 I made an appointment with my classmates to go home and play games together, but I forgot about it after I got home and said I would definitely do it next time.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that..."

Huo Le smiled and waved his hands: "At least our world is more peaceful now than it was back then...

Ahem, to put it simply, since there is no opportunity to ask those Yuanying stage masters for advice, the only option is to explore the relics left behind by the Yuanying stage masters.

Combined with the resources that Master left us, we can draw inferences from one instance to another, find the differences and similarities between the two, and thus find our own path.”

"Speaking of this..."

Mu Ling showed worry on her face: "Brother Shui Ran, is your state of mind about to be unable to be suppressed?"

"Ah, yes."

Tulou nodded: "That's why he wanted to use this opportunity to find a chance to successfully break through and give it a try."

"Then he brought Hei Xiaolong with him..."

Mu Ling's pupils shrank: "Yes..."

"Well, that's it."

Elder Huo Le said in a gloomy voice, "When Senior Brother felt that he had no chance of survival and there was no hope at all, he would probably have to make arrangements for his final arrangements...

If Senior Brother succeeds in the promotion, Xiaolong will still be the honorary elder as promised before. If Senior Brother fails... he will be the next elder of the Water Division..."

Tulou and Muling lowered their heads and remained silent for a long time.

"Ha, how should I put it..."

Tulou smiled unnaturally and said, "Xiaolong entered the sect when he was ten years old, and now he is already in the foundation-building stage at the age of fourteen, and we can say that he grew up in front of us.

As long as he continues to grow and develop over time, it shouldn't be a problem for him to become the Water Elder!"

"Bah, what depressing words are you talking about!"

Mu Ling frowned: "Senior brother is still fine, and you want to curse him to death?!"

"Hey, why are you reacting so strongly? I'm just preparing for a rainy day, making the best and worst-case scenarios in advance so that I won't lose my composure when the time comes. And you put this hat on me?"

Tulou said unhappily: "Then I won't take care of this matter, okay? I'll let you do it and take the responsibility!"

"Here……"

Mu Ling's tone was a little weak, and she whispered: "In short, Xiaolong's realm is still too low. It's too difficult for him to be the water elder. He should learn more from his senior brother and hone his skills..."

"That's true..."

Before Elder Huo finished speaking, the communication spirit stone, which had been silent for a long time, finally flashed again.

"!!!"

The three of them stood up suddenly, their hearts pounding: "Hurry up and connect!"

Elder Huo Le calmed himself down and activated the communication spirit stone. Light and shadow flickered and Shui Ran's figure was revealed.

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Elder Huo immediately asked: "Brother! You finally replied? Where are you now? Have you entered the ruins? Are you safe now? Why is the picture so intermittent and blurry? Where is the little sister? Where are Xiaolong and the disciples?"

"Junior brother, don't get excited. I'm fine at the moment..."

Shui Ran’s voice was still steady, but a little distorted. Judging from the shaking images moving quickly around him, he should be moving quickly now: “I am with most of the disciples. Except for some people who are injured, the rest are fine.

As for Junior Sister, she and Xiaolong should be together, so there shouldn't be any big problems, so don't worry about that."

"Huh?! What do you mean!"

Huo Le exclaimed, "Did you break up? Why?"

"I'll keep it short."

Shui Ran said quickly: "To put it simply, it was originally a good exploration of the ruins. We and the people from Juanlang Sect were guarding outside, and the disciples should only face the traps and restrictions in the ruins.

But for some reason, a third party force has infiltrated the blockaded barrier, and they are from the Sirens clan. You know, we have been keeping an eye on the movements over there, but we couldn't find anything wrong!

Now that a third party has entered the scene, we suspect that someone from the Juanlang Sect has secretly leaked the information, and the Juanlang Sect believes that the traitor is among us. In short, now everyone is in a state of not messing with each other, so let's get rid of the third party together first and then talk about other things.

Junior sister and Xiaolong led a group of disciples to fight against the mermaid clan. The opponents should also have combat power at the Jindan level.

I am leading the relatively weak or less combat-capable disciples to evacuate here first, and then go back to provide support!

In short, you must keep steady at the back, and everything else will be easy, yeah, that's it."

After listening to what Elder Shui said in one breath, the three people present all showed surprised expressions as they digested this huge amount of information.

However, Elder Huo was more concerned about another thing: "Xiaolong also went with him? How could he!"

Elder Huo said emotionally, "With Xiaolong's talent, he will definitely be able to advance to the Golden Core stage in the future. But now you are letting him fight with alien races with his foundation building strength and face the danger of death. This kind of thing... didn't you say that you would let Hei Xiaolong stay by your side forever?!"

"He should have done that a long time ago, shouldn't he?"

Shui Ran said in a steady voice: "Huo Le, well, Junior Brother, you have protected the disciples of the sect so well, especially those talented disciples."

"Isn't it the elders' duty to protect their disciples?"

Elder Huo said without thinking, "They are the hope and future of the sect!"

"It's because you protected them too well that they are in such a bad situation now!"

Shui Ran's voice gradually became heavy: "If these disciples have grown up through hardships, why would they need me to protect them and escape from the battlefield?

If they are used to seeing blood, why would they care about minor injuries? Not only will they not run away, but they will turn around and rush towards the sirens and fight with them!

Huo Le, you raised them into sheep. You can protect them for a while, but not forever.

When they encounter danger or are captured one day, they will only be able to curse and their minds will be blank and they will be at a loss.

Perhaps, a mere fence could lock them in, and no one could escape!

Fences can keep sheep in, but they cannot keep eagles in, wolves in, or any other ferocious beast with fangs!

I won’t force these disciples to do anything, but Xiaolong is my disciple, and I am responsible for him. He should be a dragon, not a sheep.”

"What kind of beast is it..."

Elder Huo Le murmured, "Even if we set up a barrier, it can be contained."

"Yes, and then they all turned into sheep."

Shui Ran changed his usual silent attitude. He was clearly speaking in short sentences just now, but now there was no pause at all.

"Look at the mission hall. What were the previous missions? Hunting monsters, snow mountain training, jungle exploration... Now, helping people feed spirit beasts, helping people plant spirit plants...

Of course, I am not saying that this change is necessarily bad. After all, the lives of the sect disciples are indeed better than ours before, but…"

"boom!"

The spirit stone finally exploded and shattered under the heavy weight, the image disappeared, and the debris flowed from Huo Le's palm.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the miserable plight of the disciples who were captured by the Suantian Sect...

They were locked up together with the independent cultivators, but they were not able to do better than the independent cultivators. In fact, the mental outlook and recovery speed of many independent cultivators were much better than those of the Five Elements Sect disciples...

"Senior Brother? Senior Brother!"

Mu Ling and Tu Lou's shouts brought Huo Le back to reality, and he looked at them in confusion.

“The plan should be adjusted.”

Mu Ling said calmly: "It was originally said that I would lead the team and the next batch would leave in a month, but now..."

Mu Ling and Tu Lou looked at each other, and the latter nodded and said affirmatively: "Now, we should go to support Senior Brother immediately, and don't send the disciples for the time being, and add me instead.

Mu Ling and I, together with my junior sister and senior brother, will have all four of the five elements, so we can be absolutely safe!"

"You're all going?"

Huo Le's eyes widened and he pointed at himself: "What about me? Me?"

"Brother!"

Tulou and Muling looked at Huo Le solemnly and said seriously: "The sect cannot do without you. Only when you are in the sect can we two go out without worry!"

"Well, without further ado..."

Tulou nodded, changed his usual hip-hop style, and directly opened the door and went out: "We will leave now."
