Miss Mu continued to nod, while Wu Yizi and others continued to be confused.
"I knew it. The legend can't be wrong." Gao Weihu said, his expression as if he had expected it, and finally explained the reason. "I once saw a record of the Ancient Tree of Life in a fragment of an ancestral book. It's said that this tree is ten thousand years old and blooms and bears fruit twice in its life: once when it has just grown, and once when it dies. Each time it produces ten fruits, called the Spirit Fruit. This fruit has no other effects, but it can gather the energy of all spirits. If used to forge swords or refine magical tools, it can easily be forged into a spiritual sword or artifact.
However, this Spirit Fruit is too powerful. It dissolves in water, burns in fire, scorches in soil, and crumbles in metal. It can only be preserved in the Qi Sea by direct consumption. When casting, it can only be controlled with spiritual power, not by containing objects. Priest Mu was initially unaware of the secret, and must have wasted several. The remaining few should be in your Qi Sea. However, when the Wild Fire was born, one must have been missing. If you don't believe me, Priest, please concentrate and take a look."
At this moment, even Mu Hanyan felt like she was listening to a heavenly book. However, according to this explanation, the origin of the Wild Fire was completely perfect.
"Yes, you're right. There's indeed one missing Spirit Fruit." Mu Hanyan said in surprise, but the forced surprise even seemed fake to her. Gao Huwei was quite good at deceiving people. His words sounded like the truth, even more real than a pearl. Even she believed him. He was quite impressive.
"Master Wu, Master Zhou, do you understand now?" Gao Weihu turned around and asked Wu Yizi and others, as if he hadn't understood anything.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is." Wu Zhou and the others were filled with emotion. It was obvious that they had never heard that the Ancient Tree of Life had such magical properties.
Nearby, Gu Qingyang was a bit puzzled. Although he had also been taken aback by Gao Weihu's heavenly book, he had returned with Mu Hanyan and had paid special attention to the Ancient Tree of Life, studying it for several days. In the early days, he had practically circled the tree constantly, never seeing any flowers or fruits. However, since even the High Priest had agreed with this statement, he naturally didn't question it.
"By the way, Brother Gao, who exactly hurt you?" Mu Hanyan didn't want to keep dwelling on this question. She was afraid of being exposed if she said too much, so she changed the subject and asked.
"That... I'm not too sure!" Gao Weihu hesitated and said, his eyes clearly showing confusion, anger, and even heartache.
Mu Hanyan sighed secretly. Judging from the looks of it, Gao Weihu probably knew who the attacker was, or at least had a good guess, but he was unwilling to face it.
There was probably no other possibility that Gao Weihu could be so troubled except for a member of the Gao clan. Perhaps, it wasn't just a member of the Gao clan, but even a close blood relative.
The struggle within the family is indeed so cruel and ruthless! Mu Hanyan sighed secretly.
Wu Yizi and the others were all quite old and experienced, and they had guessed the truth behind the matter. They all shook their heads secretly. No matter how indignant outsiders were, it was not convenient for them to interfere in such matters.
"Master Priest, we have a favor to ask for." After a moment, Wu Zhou and the other two exchanged glances and said to Mu Hanyan.
"Master Wu, there's no need to be so formal. Just tell me what you want to say." Mu Hanyan said.
"That's the thing. The spiritual fire of heaven and earth is obviously of great help to our alchemy skills, so I would like to ask for your help and help us subdue a spiritual fire of heaven and earth." Wu Yizi said embarrassedly.
"Well, if I want to help you two subdue the spiritual fire of heaven and earth, I must first inject the spiritual fire elements in the fire stone into your minds. I'm afraid this is difficult to do." Mu Hanyan said.
Helping them subdue the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire wasn't difficult. With her previous experience, Mu Hanyan felt she didn't even need the Heavenly Heart Technique; simply possessing the Primal Chaos Heavenly Fire was enough, so she wasn't afraid of being exposed. However, how to inject the fire element into their consciousness was a problem.
"I should have a way to do this." Gao Weihu said.
"Thank you very much, Master Gao. Actually, we can think of a way, but we're worried about damaging our spiritual consciousness. Since Master Gao has a solution, it's the best." Wu Zhou and the others said happily. But then they thought of something and put away their joy.
To channel the elemental power of the Fire Stone into their minds, they could rely on medical methods, but other practitioners would likely struggle to come up with a solution. Gao Weihu's ability to come up with a solution meant that the other Gao family members could as well, confirming their previous suspicions that those who had attacked him were likely members of the Gao clan, perhaps even close relatives. For Gao Weihu, this was clearly nothing to be happy about.
"However, there is nothing to lose if I help you. But if Chief Priest Mu wants to help you, he must lose the Spirit Fruit. The Ancient Tree of Life only bears fruit twice in its lifetime. Ordinary people can't even wait for the next time. Would you be willing to waste two fruits at once?" Gao Weihu didn't care, but said with a bit of heartache.
Wu Zhou and the other man blushed, thinking only of how important the Lingji Fruit was to themselves, but they didn't consider how huge Mu Hanyan's loss was. They were too selfish.
"Master Chief Priest, if you are willing to do us this favor, we will join the Huayu Temple from now on and obey your orders for the rest of our lives! I hope you won't mind." After exchanging glances, Wu Yizi and Zhou Jilin said in unison.
"How could I despise you two for condescending to do this? On behalf of the Guanyu Temple and tens of thousands of people in Huayu City, I welcome you two adults." Although she didn't have such an idea at first, how could Miss Mu refuse such a good thing? She said happily.
If Huayu Temple wants to become more powerful, and Huayu City wants to become more prosperous, what they need most is talent! What they lack most is talent! With the addition of these two medical masters and alchemy masters, Huayu City's reputation will surely rise to new heights, and more powerful people will come to join them.
After all, their alchemy skills are also very important to priests.
"Your subordinate greets the Chief Priest!" The two men struck while the iron was hot and immediately bowed to Mu Hanyan with the etiquette of a priest.
Next to him, Gao Weihu's mouth corners curved up slightly.
"Masters, there's no need to be so polite." Mu Hanyan helped Wu Zhou and the other two up, and at the same time looked at Gao Weihu meaningfully. Whether it was the previous heavenly book about the ancient tree of life, or the few words he used to persuade Wu Yizi and Zhou Jilin to join, it made her feel that he seemed to be deliberately hiding something for her, and indirectly helping her. Could it be that he had noticed something?
