Chapter 117 [Spirit Pearl] Taking Back the Golden Pill

He Ju said, "Whether he's a friend or foe, he's been driven out of Hidden Valley and has nothing to do with us anymore."

The implication was to distance themselves from Ji Changan. The Three Realms didn't know where Ji Changan came from, and as long as they didn't tell them, the Three Realms wouldn't know. Hidden Valley wouldn't lower the reputation of Hidden Valley by teaching such a man with such a ruthless ambition.

"There's one more thing. Zhu Jianye has left Hidden Valley." Ye Musi pondered for a moment, his mind a mess. "Before leaving, he gave the Pre-Chen Mirror and the Juque Sword to Lu Lishen."

"Where is he going? Where can he go at this time? Did you drive him away?" He Ju slammed the table and stood up. He felt that Ye Musi was becoming more and more willful and disregarding the overall situation. He did not look like the leader of a faction at all.

"I'm the Valley Master. Do I need to report it if I'm driving someone away?"

That's true, but no matter what, he shouldn't be driven away. What's more, Zhu Jianye is a natural spiritual fetus, and it's rare for one or two to appear in Yinyou Valley. No matter what, Ye Musi can't just drive him away without telling them.

"Evil creature! You are really going to piss me off to death!"

"He'll be back in a few days." Ye Musi watched the ripples in the tea on the table caused by the sound of his voice. He felt a little tired. Although he had accepted his identity as a Lingzhu, he didn't want to die. He also wanted to finish everything and retire with Lu Lishen. If he didn't die, then Shenghe Mountain would definitely not allow any mistakes to happen.

He was thankful that Lu Lishen was not the real Lingzhu. Otherwise, he would not know how to choose between the safety of the Three Realms and his personal feelings. He wanted the safety of the Three Realms and Lu Lishen's safety. Fortunately, the Lingzhu was his.

Ye Musi took a deep breath to calm himself down. He probably just listened to the meetings as an observer and didn't interrupt much. Now he just listened quietly to the elders talking about random things. His ears were callused from listening so much.

It's just that he is now in his thirties and the head of a family. He can't be as willful as he was in his childhood.

"Forget it. They always talk about you. When have you ever heard anything?" He Ju shook his head. As the oldest of the elders, he was the one who placed the most emphasis on education. This was especially true for Ye Musi, who had been following his wicked disciple since childhood and hadn't learned his lesson. Now that he was the Valley Master, he should discipline him even more strictly. However, he had never imagined that Ye Musi would become the Valley Master. "Since Lu Lishen is a Spirit Pearl, the Hidden Soul Method can be taught to him in advance, just in case."

"That's natural. I've already planned it."

After a few more discussions, they finally decided that Ye Musi and Lu Lishen would secretly move to the vicinity of Shenghe Mountain.

The two of them moved in quickly. In order not to attract attention, there were only the two of them, plus Hua Lingzhi and Lan Feiyue.

Hua Lingzhi came here on her own initiative, while Lan Feiyue was sent by He Ju to keep an eye on Ye Musi and prevent him from getting too close to Lu Lishen.

They went to an inn in a town near Shenghe Mountain and asked for four rooms, one for each person and one for two people. The remaining room was just right for them as a decoration.

As soon as Lu Lishen put down his luggage, Ye Musi pulled him to sit down. Ye Musi looked at Lu Lishen, pursing his lips slightly. Lu Lishen saw that he had something to say, so he waited quietly for him to speak.

"Ali." Ye Mumu touched Lu Lishen's left chest, feeling the strong heartbeat.

Lu Li shook the hand deeply and said, "Disciple is here."

"I want to take the mermaid pearl."

Ye Musi wanted to take the mermaid pearl to exchange Zhu Jianye's golden elixir. He couldn't just take care of Lu Lishen and push Zhu Jianye away. It was obviously his golden elixir that should have been there, but he let his junior brother worry about it. He felt very sorry.

"Okay, after taking it away, Master, are you planning to go to the West Sea?" Lu Lishen said gently. He already knew everything. Just by looking at Zhu Jianye's expression that night, he understood. "Disciple will go with you."

"No, just stay here. It's quite close to the West Sea. I'll be back soon."

"Master, you don't know that once the mermaid pearl enters the body, it cannot be retrieved unless it is stored in a permanent place." Lu Li said deeply. He clearly remembered the spell cast by Ajiang. Ajiang had made all the preparations. After his death, Shen Lian's whereabouts were unknown. If Shen Lian wanted the mermaid pearl, then he would take it. He only hoped that Shen Lian would consider him and protect the mermaids for him.

"This..." Ye Musi pondered for a moment. They were only going to be gone for a short while and would be back soon. Lan Feiyue probably couldn't say anything to He Ju.

Ye Musi and Lu Lishen came to the West Sea again. They did not bypass the mermaid area, but the scenery here was not as good as before.

The seaweed and corals that used to float there are gone, not to mention the mermaids, not even a shadow of them can be seen.

"Who are you?" A mature female mermaid appeared from nowhere and looked at them with hostility. "Did you take the mermaid pearl?"

The female mermaid saw through the mermaid pearl in Lu Lishen's body at a glance. She walked forward and looked at the two of them carefully.

"No one can take the mermaid pearl away. How did you take it away?"

The mermaids once tried to share the power of the mermaid pearl to improve their own cultivation, but they could not take the mermaid pearl away from King Bei's palace no matter what, so they had to give up.

Unexpectedly, someone actually coveted the Mermaid Pearl and broke into King Bei's palace. She didn't know what formation he encountered, but almost caused the annihilation of her entire clan. In the end, he even took the Mermaid Pearl away. It was really infuriating.

The person with phoenix eyes in front of him didn't sound like the person who came that day, not to mention the other one, there was no similarity at all.

"Who are you?"

"Nono?" Lu Lishen suddenly noticed the sapphire necklace on the mermaid's neck. Although he could not remember the appearance of those people a hundred years ago after waking up, he remembered that it was Ayuan who put it on Nono himself.

"How do you know my mother?" Her name is A Pan, the Pan in Pan Jun Gui, the daughter of Nuonuo and the current king of the mermaid tribe.

Ye Musi and Lu Lishen didn't know how to answer. They didn't know Nuonuo. It just happened that A Jiang and Shen Lian knew her, so they knew about Nuonuo.

"I don't know." He didn't waste any more words, letting the past be the past. He was from the future, not the past. Chen Lian knew who Nuonuo was, but Ye Musi didn't. He said: "We are here to exchange for the golden elixir."

A Pan looked at the two of them with doubts in his heart, but still took them into King Bei's palace.

Arriving at the Bei Palace, Ye Musi learned that Zhu Jianye's battle with the Holy Python had nearly wiped out the entire mermaid race. Now that their homeland was destroyed, they could only live in the Bei Palace and recuperate with the help of the Golden Elixir.

Seeing this, Lu Lishen didn't waste any words and immediately took out the mermaid pearl, but the mermaid pearl merged into his body again and could not be taken out no matter what.

"this……"

Everyone was confused, and Lu Lishen was also confused.

Logically speaking, the mermaid pearl should be taken out after it has been stored for a long time. Could it be that it has to move after living in his body for half a year?

"The Mermaid Pearl has chosen you," A Pan said. "For the past hundred years, no one has been able to take the Mermaid Pearl away. This means you are about to ascend."

These words made Ye Musi and Lu Lishen look puzzled. Lu Lishen was still a demon, how could he become an immortal? Even if Lu Lishen was a spiritual fetus, the demonic energy in his body was rampant. How could he suppress the demonic energy for a lifetime with only a mermaid pearl? Sooner or later, the mermaid pearl would be saturated with the demonic energy, not to mention that there was also a Lu Limu in his body.

"You are the second one to ascend to immortality in the Three Realms."

Lu Li touched his heart deeply, and the surging and warm power swept through his whole body.

"We don't want this mermaid pearl. It's useless even if we have it."

No one in the mermaid tribe can gain the recognition of the mermaid pearl, not to mention that they can live well even without the mermaid pearl. The mermaid pearl is just a decoration, they don't need a fake thing.

A hundred years ago, the king was kind-hearted and wanted to ascend to become an immortal, but he was killed by the queen and his body was completely destroyed, leaving only this mermaid pearl.

The mermaids all understood that Ajiang wanted to bring the queen back, and saving the queen was equivalent to saving the world. Now that the unrest in Shenghe Mountain had also implicated the West Sea, they also felt something. If the mermaid pearl could be used to stop the demon in Shenghe Mountain, they would offer it with both hands.

The mermaids in King Bei's palace all looked at Lu Lishen, then at each other, and said in unison: "We are willing to give the mermaid pearl to you and offer our humble help."

This made Ye Musi a little at a loss. What he wanted was the golden elixir. His eyes were always on the golden elixir full of spiritual power on the central pillar.

A Pan followed Ye Musi's gaze, took out the golden elixir, and handed it to Ye Musi.

"Since the Mermaid Pearl is a gift to you, we don't want this thing either. If you want it, I'll give it to you."

Ye Musi took it and put it away.

"Thank you so much, I don't know how to repay you..."

"The report is simple. The unusual movements at Shenghe Mountain have implicated the Bei Palace. There are less than a hundred mermaids left. My people and I want to survive. If he can ascend successfully, we must not let the devil inside come out." A Pan said.

"certainly."

…

Ye Musi had expected a fierce battle to retrieve the golden elixir from the West Sea, but he hadn't expected it to be so easy. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the golden elixir in the brocade bag. He didn't know where Zhu Jianye was, so he would return the golden elixir to him the next time he saw him.

Thinking of Zhu Jianye, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. His hair turned white because of the backlash of the forbidden technique, but Zhu Jianye couldn't possibly practice the forbidden technique. He had never even entered the forbidden room. It could only be the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. Zhu Jianye was going to die.

He shook the thought away like a rattle. Zhu Jianye's cultivation was higher than his, and he was younger. He hadn't violated any heavenly rules, so there was no way he would suffer the Five Decays of a Celestial Being.

"Knock knock knock" There was a knock on the door, and Ye Musi got up to open it.

Hua Lingzhi was standing at the door with a serious face, holding a round jade in her hand.

"There's something I've never had the chance to give you." Hua Lingzhi handed over the round jade.

Ye Musi saw clearly what was in Hua Lingzhi's hand. The jade was white with a hint of red, and its smooth surface had a faint luster. He recognized that this was what Chang Feihong left for Hua Lingzhi on the day he committed suicide.

"This is what Chang Feihong left for you. What are you going to do for me?"

Seeing that Ye Musi was indifferent, Hua Lingzhi pulled Ye Musi's hand and put the things on it.

"This is not for me, it's for you."
