"Forget it, let's go back first. I'll think of a solution." Guan Xiujin sighed and said. He definitely couldn't rely on these two old guys, so he had to rely on himself. However, he couldn't think of any solution at the moment, so he could only go back and think it over slowly.
"Master Priest, we don't have many five-colored soul beads left, we can't delay any longer." Jiang Ruchu reminded.
"I know, I know." Guan Xiu Jin waved his hand and turned around, his eyebrows and beard were all squeezed into a ball.
At this time, Gao Weihu had already accompanied Mu Hanyan to the guest room.
"Master Priest, are you okay?" Gao Weihu asked Mu Hanyan in a low voice.
As soon as he left the Shinto Temple after the competition, he noticed that Mu Hanyan's face had turned pale, and later a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her steps became weak and unsteady.
"It's okay, let's go." Mu Hanyan said.
She originally thought that it would be easy to defeat Gao Weilong with the three laws that she had already comprehended thoroughly. However, when she took action, she found that if she did not use her sword skills, it would be too difficult for her to use the three laws at the same time with her current strength as a ninth-level Divine Heart Priest.
Just one divine spell almost consumed all the spiritual power and divine power in his body. Not only did he feel weak all over, but even his consciousness was blurred for a moment.
Judging from the current situation, Guan Xiujing and others had obviously suspected her of the matter of the batch of five-colored soul beads a long time ago, but they did not attack her directly because they had too many concerns. When Gao Weilong took action today, he might not have had the intention of testing her strength.
Her defeat of Gao Weilong with one move could effectively deter them, preventing them from making any rash moves. However, if they knew she could only display such strength once, they would definitely not give up, and who knew what other methods they would resort to.
Although Mu Hanyan wasn't afraid of them, this was the Temple of Life, so it wasn't a bad idea to be cautious. Besides, her main purpose for coming here was to find the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death, and she didn't want to waste too much energy dealing with Guan Xiujin and the others.
Walking along the long corridor towards the back hall, there were fewer and fewer priests passing by. Mu Hanyan then quietly took the pill, and her face gradually regained its rosy complexion.
Soon, the two arrived at the guest room.
The Temple of Life was vast, with over a thousand guest rooms alone, nearly all of which were occupied by senior priests from various lower-level temples. Some of these people had arrived at the Temple of Life hundreds of years ago, each of them having reached the level of Divine Heart Priest and the potential to ascend to the position of Chief Priest. However, they still came to the Temple of Life for the cultivation techniques and resources.
Mu Hanyan also quickly understood their choice.
After tidying up the room and sitting for a short while, Gao Weihu helped her get the cultivation resources for this month: twelve five-colored soul beads, nearly a hundred ordinary relic soul beads, and dozens of various elixirs.
This is just one month's allowance. If you stay in the Temple of Life for a full year, you can also receive additional medicinal herbs and meteoric gold, which you can use to refine your own elixirs and magical tools, or exchange with others.
Even Mu Hanyan was surprised by such abundant cultivation resources.
Of course, this is also because her cultivation level is too high. If her cultivation level is not at this level, the cultivation resources she receives will be much less. However, even if she is only a first-level Divine Heart Priest, she can receive a five-colored soul bead and more than ten ordinary relic soul beads from the Temple of Life every month.
You should know that even the chief priests of each hall do not have such treatment. No wonder the strong men from each hall would rather give up their positions as chief priests and come to the Temple of Life to train and practice, and some even stay there for hundreds of years.
Of course, such cultivation resources only surprised Mu Hanyan for a moment, and it didn't make her interested. In her star disk space, there were nearly 200,000 five-colored soul beads.
Originally, Mu Hanyan wanted to leave most of them for the Huayu Temple, but the origin of this batch of five-colored soul beads was unknown. If Guan Xiujin sent people to the Huayu Temple to investigate secretly, they might be caught red-handed. Therefore, Mu Hanyan only left 10,000 five-colored soul beads for the Huayu Temple, and the rest were hidden in the star disk space.
With so many colorful soul beads on her body, how could Mu Hanyan be tempted by the cultivation resources provided by the Temple of Life?
In the following days, Mu Hanyan practiced while inquiring about the whereabouts of the other piece of the Qiankun Life and Death Seal.
Time flies, and before I knew it, two months had passed.
With sufficient resources for cultivation and not being bogged down by trivial matters like in Huayu City, Mu Hanyan's strength increased rapidly and she finally reached the peak of the ninth-order Divine Heart Priest. However, she could not break through the last bottleneck no matter what.
Mu Hanyan was not in a hurry. In fact, for most priests in the Continent of Gods, it was extremely difficult to improve further once their strength reached her level. It was not uncommon for many people to spend several years from the initial entry into the ninth-level Divine Heart Priest to the peak. The reason why she progressed so quickly was mainly due to the ancient tree of life.
Energy and spiritual power, these two forces that were born from the same origin but are completely different, merged together through the Ancient Tree of Life, constantly impacting and refining her meridians, which is equivalent to countless meridian cutting and marrow cleansing. The strength of her meridians has long surpassed that of ordinary sword masters or comparable soul priests. The speed at which she refines the power of heaven and earth is ten or even dozens of times that of ordinary people, so her practice is naturally twice as effective with half the effort.
However, the Ancient Tree of Life was still gradually withering, its vitality was getting weaker and weaker, and the help it brought to her was getting smaller and smaller. Improving her strength to the peak of the Ninth Order Divine Heart Priest was already the limit, and it was impossible to break through the bottleneck directly.
If she couldn't find all five pieces of the Qiankun Life and Death Seals to help the Ancient Tree of Life recover its vitality and continue to temper its meridians, she would have to accumulate spiritual power like a normal priest and force her way through the bottleneck, which was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two.
"Weihu, is there any news about the Qiankun Sheng Seal?" Mu Hanyan asked Gao Weihu who had just returned.
"Not yet. I'll think of a solution." Gao Weihu said with some self-blame.
These days, he visited almost all the teahouses, taverns, and chamber of commerce markets in the Temple of Life, investigating and trying to find out the news about the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death, but he gained nothing and did not even find a single clue.
"Don't be anxious, take your time." Mu Hanyan said comfortingly.
She originally thought that as long as the incomplete seal of life and death was in the hands of a priest family in the Temple of Life, it would not be too difficult to find. However, after she actually came to the Temple of Life, she realized that she was wrong.
The history of the Temple of Life spans millions of years, and there are countless priest families, some of which have long since declined, some are on the rise, and some have experienced ups and downs. Perhaps if you ask any citizen in the city, you will find that they may be from a wealthy and prestigious family that was once glorious. It is not easy to find out the whereabouts of the broken seal.
You can't just grab someone and ask, "Do you have the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death? Can I borrow it?" No one is stupid. Even if they really have it, they won't tell you. According to Sha Mingyuan, his Sha family and another family were severely damaged because of a dispute over one of the seals of the Qiankun Seal of Life and Death. To avoid disaster, they had to leave Xiaoshentian. If they easily exposed themselves, wouldn't they be exterminated?
