Chapter 288 Mysterious Letter
The old man hesitated for a while, and finally nodded with a look of great distress, saying: "Although this seed is extraordinary, I also need the Great Huan Dan urgently, so I will give it to Taoist Master Yu."
After that, he threw the jade bottle over, and Ye Chunyang did not hesitate. He patted the Qiankun bag, took out a Great Huan Dan and handed it to the other party, and the transaction was completed.
When the old man received the Great Huan Dan, his face was full of joy, and he hurriedly left the secret room as if he was afraid that Ye Chunyang would regret it. And Ye Chunyang weighed the jade bottle, a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he also walked out from another door.
Coming to a secret place, he opened the jade bottle, poured out the seeds inside, put them in the palm of his hand and carefully measured them, a little dark color flashed in his eyes, and then he patted his hand, and a piece of wood with the same color as this seed flew out of the Qiankun bag. It was about a foot long and absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at all times.
It was the spiritual wood obtained from the white skeleton.
"As expected..."
Comparing the two objects, Ye Chunyang chuckled. His guess was correct. This was the seed of the Yangling Wood. When he was in the secret room just now, he felt that the smell of this seed was familiar. After careful consideration, he found that it was exactly the same as the smell of the Yangling Wood.
The Yangling Wood was originally a strange thing in the world. It had long been extinct. Few people in the world knew about it, let alone the seeds of this tree. Ordinary people naturally could not distinguish it. Therefore, those who had chatted with the old man before heard that the other party wanted to exchange this thing for the Great Huandan naturally sneered.
But Ye Chunyang had a section of Yangling Wood on his body. Others didn't know, so how could he not know? Sure enough, he guessed it right.
The Yangling Wood obtained from the white skeleton was only a foot long. He had carried it with him for these years, but it had improved his cultivation a lot. If the seed could be cultivated into shape, it is hard to imagine how amazing the effect would be when the whole Yangling Wood absorbed spiritual energy.
Even if someone could recognize this seed, it would be difficult to plant it without rich cultivation knowledge. However, this was not a problem for him. He only needed to plant it in the jade gourd and irrigate it with a spirit spoon, and it would grow safely.
After taking a closer look at the seeds of the spiritual wood, Ye Chunyang was more and more delighted, but he also knew that this was not the time to conduct in-depth research, so he put it in the jade gourd and waited for time to cultivate it slowly in the future.
Now there are many eyes and ears in the Hanging City, and it is not a place to stay for a long time. This time, he collected Tianzhilan and accidentally got the seeds of the spiritual wood. It was worth the trip. After a little planning, Ye Chunyang sorted it out and planned to leave.
However, just as he walked a few steps, he suddenly frowned, and looked at a certain place with his peripheral vision. It seemed that there was a faint spiritual consciousness hovering around. Although it was very secretive, how could it be hidden from his perception.
A cold light flashed on Ye Chunyang's face. This spiritual consciousness was obscure and unpredictable, but it was just wandering around. It didn't seem to be aimed at him, but this was the Mu family meeting place. Who was spying in secret?
After a pause, Ye Chunyang continued to walk forward without making a sound. At this moment, a person suddenly came in front of him and passed by him.
This person was in a hurry and seemed to bump into him accidentally. Ye Chunyang frowned slightly and found that his breath was familiar. It was the person who had just been detected in secret with his spiritual sense.
He was startled and was about to look back, but this person disappeared in the crowd after a flash, and he didn't know when there was something in his hand.
Ye Chunyang was surprised and opened the thing in his hand and found that it was a letter with an invisible spell.
He was full of doubts. Could it be that this person detected him just to send a letter?
Who is this person and what is his purpose?
Ye Chunyang had many questions in his heart, and then his spiritual sense probed into the letter.
But after a moment, his face changed several times, and he was very suspicious, and the letter turned into fire and disappeared directly after the detection.
Staring at the remaining paper ash on the ground, Ye Chunyang looked uncertain, as if thinking about something, then waved his whisk and walked away.
After walking around the venue for about half an hour, Ye Chunyang avoided the sight of others and came to a wing room alone. The door was closed and seemed to be deserted, but after arriving, a voice suddenly came from inside: "Daoyou, please come in."
The voice was as clear as a bell, and it was a woman.
Ye Chunyang frowned, his eyes flashed, and he pushed the door and walked in. Inside, a woman was wearing a bright yellow silk dress, with long black hair like a waterfall, and a jade green jade hairpin on her bun, sitting on the windowsill with her back to her.
"I don't know the name of the fairy, what is the intention of inviting me here with a letter?" Ye Chunyang looked at the woman from a distance, and he was secretly alert.
The content of the letter just now was that someone had an appointment here, but he was in disguise this time, so no one should recognize him. But this woman asked someone to send the letter secretly, and her intention had to be speculated.
But when the woman turned around, he was startled, and then showed a strange expression.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you don't recognize me so quickly?"
As soon as the woman spoke, Ye Chunyang's face changed again, and his pupils shrank violently. She was none other than the person in power at the venue, the jewel in the eye of the Mu family, Mu Ling'er.
She looked straight at Ye Chunyang, with a bright smile on her face, but her eyes were deep, as if hiding a deep meaning.
Looking at this woman, Ye Chunyang suddenly felt cold. The other party actually recognized him. Where did the flaw go?
And what was the other party's intention in inviting him here? Could it be that he wanted to harm him?
"My name is Sufeng, I'm afraid the fairy has recognized the wrong person." Ye Chunyang narrowed his eyes slightly, but his expression was normal on the surface.
Seeing this, Mu Ling'er chuckled lightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye really has great magical powers, and even Zhuge Yu is no match for him, but Daoist Daoist doesn't know that your disguise has already spread among the senior officials of Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutian Sect. Open, and even report the portrait to the major chambers of commerce. It is very dangerous for Taoist friends to come here. "
Hearing this, Ye Chunyang's face changed again with shock. It turned out that the news of Zhuge Yu's death had already spread, and even his "solemn" appearance was traced by the two factions. He was in danger without knowing it!
He glanced around with his peripheral vision, feeling extremely vigilant in his heart. This woman knew his identity, but yet she invited him here. Could it be that she had already set up an ambush!
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you don't have to be so vigilant. The little girl has no malicious intent in inviting you to come here. There is no ambush here. You only need to feel a little to know." Mu Ling'er chuckled, with a bit of teasing in her eyes. meaning.
Ye Chunyang felt cold in his heart. Mu Ling'er seemed innocent, but in fact she was quite sophisticated. Naturally, he would not believe the other party's one-sided words, and immediately used his spiritual consciousness to detect the surroundings.
But he was surprised to find that except for a soundproof barrier, there was nothing unusual around him, and there was not even a guard.
Ye Chunyang frowned, stared at Mu Ling'er coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Why don't you tell me what Fairy Mu's intention is in coming here? If the fairy wants to take me down and offer it to the Qiankun Sword Sect and Wutian Clan, , I’m afraid the fairy’s moral integrity is still a bit lacking.”
Since the other party already knows his identity, there is no need to hide it anymore.
When Mu Ling'er heard this, she was slightly startled, and a look of concentration flashed across her eyes. If someone else had said this, she might not have taken it to heart, but this man has become famous recently, and there are strange rumors. Many, not only Zhuge Yu and other young talents who were proud of the foundation building period, but also a protector of Wutianmen were killed by his hands, so she had to believe the truth of this statement.
At that moment, Mu Ling'er couldn't help but put away her teasing look, and her expression became serious, saying: "Fellow Taoist Ye, please don't misunderstand me. If Ling'er wants to harm fellow Taoist, he can report it directly to the two factions, and there is no need to secretly invite fellow Taoist." Come here."
"Then why does the fairy spend so much trouble?" Ye Chunyang sneered.
Mu Ling'er blinked her eyes, looked at him for a long time, and chuckled to herself: "If the little girl tells fellow Taoist that she is willing to help fellow Taoist get out of the city safely and get rid of the pursuit of the two factions, will fellow Taoist believe it?"
Ye Chunyang was startled when he heard this.
He half-squinted his eyes and looked directly at Mu Ling'er. Although this woman meant no harm since they met, her thoughts were always erratic and unpredictable. Now she suddenly wanted to help him get out of the city. He didn't know what the intention was. He wouldn't believe it easily. .
As if she had expected Ye Chunyang to be like this, Mu Ling'er was not surprised. Instead, she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "It's normal for fellow Taoist to not believe it. After all, although you and I are acquaintances, we are not close friends yet, so fellow Taoist is on guard." It’s also reasonable.”
After a slight pause, she continued: "However, what the little girl just said is indeed true, and now there are two factions of informants in Hanging City. Fellow Taoist was lucky enough to sneak in, but it is not so easy to get out."
Ye Chunyang frowned. He could not believe that Mu Ling'er would help him, but since the other party recognized his identity, it proved that he had indeed been exposed. The seemingly calm situation at this moment was actually full of dangers. If Mu Ling'er hadn't told him, he still wouldn't have done anything. Unknowingly.
After a moment of silence, Ye Chunyang said coldly: "Why are you helping me?"
"Fellow Taoist Ye may not believe it. Apart from me, even Mr. Mo didn't know about the invitation to Taoist friends this time. As for helping fellow Taoist, it's just a young girl appreciating the talent of fellow Taoist. Besides, the behavior of these two factions is really unflattering. How can I, the Mu family, obey their orders?" Mu Ling'er looked at Ye Chunyang with a calm expression.
When their eyes met, Ye Chunyang looked suspicious. He looked directly into Mu Linger's eyes and found that the other person's eyes were clear and did not look like he was lying. But her sudden help made Ye Chunyang feel unbelievable.
He said expressionlessly: "With the strength of the two factions, the fairy took such a big risk for me, maybe the purpose is more than that?"
Mu Linger smiled and looked at Ye Chunyang without saying a word for a while.
Ye Chunyang's eyes flickered.
At this time, both parties were also guessing. Mu Linger guessed how many methods he had, and he guessed what the other party's real purpose of helping was.
After a long time, Mu Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled, saying: "Since Fellow Taoist asked this question, the little woman also wants to ask Fellow Taoist. Even if the little woman really has other purposes, Fellow Taoist besides trusting me at this moment, Is there no other way?"
Ye Chunyang's face changed slightly. What Mu Ling'er said forced him to think carefully. Now that the two factions have seen through his disguised identity, he would inevitably fall into the hands of the other party on his own. If he could really escape with the help of Mu Ling'er, he could A little more protection, but the other party suddenly helped me so much that I couldn't help but be on guard.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled bitterly and nodded: "It seems that I can only trouble the fairy."
