Chapter 14: Stone Formation Look carefully, I am not Mu Fuyue. ...
Mu Fuyun had no idea what Song Xinghe wanted her to "wait" for, nor did she care how he was going to do it.
She only knew that six days later, news came from the sect that Chu Ye had returned.
I heard that this time when he comes back, he will strive to reach the Nascent Soul stage.
As the first disciple of the master and the first among the new generation of cultivators in Tianyan, Chu Ye's every move has always attracted much attention.
The transition from the Golden Elixir to the Nascent Soul is an important watershed in the journey of cultivating immortals.
Among them, the three realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core are considered transcending the mundane world, while the Nascent Soul, Spiritual Transformation, and Void Refining realms are about realizing the Great Dao, and the Body Fusion, Mahayana, and Tribulation Transcendence are about ascending to the Immortal Realm. It is also from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul that cultivators begin to endure the trials of thunder tribulations, which typically intensify with increasing realm.
Chu Ye is a leader among this generation. At such a young age, he is already about to reach the Nascent Soul stage, so naturally he needs to be fully prepared.
Mu Fuyun originally thought that he would focus on improving his own realm and would not care about anything else, but he did not expect to receive news from him that night.
"Come over tonight."
Be brief and to the point.
Mu Fuyun hesitated for only a moment before replying with an "OK", and then passed the message to Song Xinghe.
She has been practicing sword recently and often overdrawn her physical strength. It is not the best time to clear the meridians again. But it is not a problem. She will just be weak and pale for a few more days.
That night, after returning from Qinglu, he rested for a while, then took a small jar of lotus seed candy and went to Chu Ye's Xizhao Pavilion.
As usual, the little Taoist boys serving inside were dismissed, leaving only Chu Ye alone, sitting on the couch in the yard reading a book.
"Senior Brother Chu," Mu Fuyun walked in naturally and sat down beside him, without any sense of unfamiliarity or restraint. "I didn't expect you would ask me to come here at a time like this. It seems that my sister is indeed very important in your eyes."
"Have you only just realized this?" Chu Ye put down the book in his hand and looked over coldly. His once handsome face looked a little pale in the moonlight, and he seemed a little wilted. "Not everyone is as cold and heartless as you. You can even use your own sister as a bargaining chip to make a deal."
"After all, this bargaining chip is what you want." Mu Fuyun smiled and glanced at the book he put away. The words "Primordial Spirit" and "Spiritual Soul" were still there. "You also have a share in this deal."
Chu Ye's eyes flashed with anger: "Mu Fuyun, I warn you, don't try to control me with this dosage. I'm not Song Xinghe, I won't be so foolish as to let you control me."
This statement has a hidden meaning.
This time, he was ordered to go to Wuding Sect. In addition to doing things for the master, he also had some selfish motives.
During this period, he had read many books in the library that had never been his focus before, which recorded various rare secret methods and anecdotes. Finally, he found a very brief record in one of them:
"Soul nourishment is a heaven-defying technique that was often used by Western Demon Cultivators hundreds of years ago."
Since this technique defied the will of heaven, it would definitely not be circulated openly in the world of immortal cultivation. Therefore, this time, he had originally planned to stay outside for a few more days to use the mixed information channels outside.
Who would have thought that just as he got a little clue, he received a barrage of accusations from Song Xinghe through the communication jade token.
Mu Fuyun could probably guess that after Song Xinghe left angrily that day, he must have vented all his accumulated dissatisfaction on Chu Ye.
This is in line with the temperament of this pair of brothers.
"Don't worry, I know my situation, and I also know the nature of you people." Mu Fuyun took off his outer robe, sat cross-legged with his back to him, and looked straight ahead at the mountains and forests. He said softly, "Once I am no longer useful to you, you will abandon me without hesitation."
Her tone was calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant, but Chu Ye behind her frowned slightly for some reason.
Perhaps because his true thoughts deep in his heart were touched upon, he felt a surge of discomfort in his heart.
The figure in front of him was tall and slender, but compared to more than a month ago, it seemed much tougher and stronger. Inexplicably, it looked more and more like the shadow in his heart.
"What are you waiting for?" Mu Fuyun couldn't help but turn his head slightly and asked as there was no movement for a long time.
The ponytail tied up high swayed in the night, gently brushing away the veil in front of Chu Ye's eyes.
He couldn't help but laugh at the misconception and pity he had just had that he shouldn't have had. Such an unscrupulous person was not worth wasting your feelings on.
"I'm just worried you can't bear the pain."
After saying this, he adjusted his breathing and gathered his energy, condensing a spiritual power that was a bit stronger than the previous two times and outputting it from his palm.
Mu Fuyun was already a little exhausted, and was suddenly invaded by pure fire spiritual power. He couldn't help but suppress a low groan.
Chu Ye paused, and for some unknown reason, he silently withdrew his strength.
Mu Fuyun felt his deliberate restraint and said nothing. She could endure it anyway.
After more than half an hour, a wisp of pure fire spiritual power slowly circulated a small cycle in her body, and this time the meridians were unblocked.
Mu Fuyun was wrapped in heat all over and just wanted to go to Shanmingju as soon as possible. Without waiting for Chu Ye to speak, he took the white jade porcelain bottle on the table, injected the blood from his fingertips into it, and handed it to Chu Ye behind him.
It has not been taken over yet.
She paused, put on her Taoist robe, propped herself up and turned around.
Under the night sky, Chu Ye lowered his head, still sitting cross-legged like before, with his hands hanging on his knees, looking as if he was in a trance.
But when I looked more closely, I found that his eyes were closed, his lowered face was pale with an abnormal blush, and his forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat.
"Chu Ye," Mu Fuyun was stunned. He didn't expect that just using a little spiritual power would make him become so abnormal. "What's wrong with you?"
"I..." He opened his eyes slightly in pain and coughed softly. His body swayed as if all his strength was drained away, and he fell to one side. "It seems like I'm about to break through..."
Breakthrough?
Mu Fuyun raised an eyebrow, paused for a moment, and finally reached out to help him as he fell off the couch. At the same time, he looked up at the deep blue night sky.
In the originally clear night, clusters of unclear clouds were quietly rolling from all directions and rushing towards this side.
Although there had been rumors about it a long time ago, no one expected it to happen so soon. Obviously, even Chu Ye himself did not expect it.
"Are you hurt?" Mu Fuyun asked, looking at his pale face.
He was so weak even before the thunder tribulation arrived. She could not think of any other explanation except that he was already injured.
Chu Ye didn't answer, which was considered as his agreement.
This time, he went to Wuding Sect on behalf of the Sect Master, but in fact, he was representing Tianyan Sect to present a gift to Liang Huailian, the only daughter of the Sect Master, on her eighteenth birthday.
The three major sects have always appeared to be at peace on the surface, but in reality, they engage in open and covert struggles, constantly chasing each other. A visit there is bound to be a few contests between disciples to liven up the atmosphere.
As the eldest senior brother of Tianyan Sect, he was naturally not afraid of the sword test. However, as he was about to break through, his breath and spiritual power were a little unstable. Although he won the competition, he also suffered some minor injuries.
Originally, he would have only needed to rest for a day or two, but in order to search for clues outside, he did not delay for a moment and traveled on his sword for days, which made his injury worse.
He had just used up his spiritual power, which disrupted the energy in his body, causing him to suddenly become weak.
When people are weak, they are always prone to daydreaming.
At this moment, half of his body was pressed on Mu Fuyun's shoulder. Looking at her familiar profile, he couldn't help but call out "Yue'er" in a trance.
That was the person he was obsessed with.
Mu Fuyun listened to the voice that was obviously unconscious and called out, and suddenly remembered the plot in the original book about Chu Ye's breakthrough.
In the book, when Chu Ye broke through, Mu Fuyun happened to be by his side.
Seeing him so weak, she felt pity and wanted to offer her natural furnace physique to help him refine the chaotic spiritual power and overcome this difficulty.
However, it was this soft call that made her heartbroken, and she couldn't help but let him see clearly who she was at the last moment.
Chu Ye was forced to come back to his senses and found that she was not Mu Fuyue, whom he had been thinking about. The original infatuation and yearning in his eyes instantly turned into surprise and disgust. He then controlled himself and refused to continue.
It's not because I'm afraid of hurting her, it's just because I feel she doesn't deserve it.
The original lightning-dispelling stone formation of Xizhao Pavilion had lost a corner many years ago and could not be used.
He would rather not get over this hurdle than use her to solve it.
In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and used her own body to complete the stone formation, diverting most of the power of the thunder tribulation, which kept him safe.
As a result, of course, she did not receive gratitude, but questioning - questioning why she did not protect her body and continue to be an offering to Mu Fuyue.
"Chu Ye, look carefully, I am not Mu Fuyue."
After Chu Ye stabilized his body, Mu Fuyun let him go, stood up straight, lowered his head to meet his hazy gaze, and coldly broke his beautiful dream.
Chu Ye was stunned, and his confused eyes gradually became clear.
"It's you, Mu Fuyun."
"As long as you're awake," Mu Fuyun said coldly. She didn't want Chu Ye, this useful tool, to disappear. "Where is the lightning-dispelling stone formation?"
His eyes looked towards the open space next to the main hall, lit up slightly, and then became quiet again.
"The stone formation is flawed. Unless someone uses themselves to fill the gap, it won't work." He tried his best to return to a meditative posture, attempting to control the uncontrolled spiritual energy in his body through breathing exercises. "You can leave."
The stone formation is made of giant spiritual stones that are rare in the world. If one piece is missing, it is difficult to find a suitable one. Only human flesh can replace it.
Of course, she couldn't risk her life for him, and staying here would only add to the burden.
Mu Fuyun didn't bother to pay attention to him. He followed his gaze to the open space, fumbled around, found the mechanism on the stone bench beside him, and reached out to press it.
Pieces of spiritual stones as tall as a person emerged from the ground, forming a formation of varying heights.
"Where is the missing piece?" Mu Fuyun asked.
"In the middle of Zhenli." Chu Ye looked at her in surprise, with a look of shock that seemed to want to say something but hesitated. "Mu Fuyun, you wouldn't..."
At that moment, he couldn't explain what he felt in his heart.
Mu Fuyun looked at Zhenli Zhongzi, and after hearing the suspicion in his tone, he turned around and raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior Brother Chu, don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to risk myself for you."
Chu Ye frowned: "Then you——"
In front of him, Mu Fuyun took out the communication jade token and sent a message to Song Xinghe.
