The so-called stepping on eggshells is the entry-level skill of practicing light body techniques. It involves spreading the broken eggshells on the ground and then jumping and flying on them. Whoever breaks them or breaks more eggs loses.

This skill is nothing to a cultivator like Yue Sheng who has a solid foundation. Yue Sheng felt that his master was favoring him and punishing Gao Cang, the fool, in disguise, so he readily agreed.

But when he arrived at the martial arts arena, Yue Sheng was dumbfounded.

It turned out that the egg shells were floating in two large pots filled with boiling hot water.

If the person is not strong enough in the light body technique, the eggshell will not be crushed, but the person will be almost cooked.

When Su Yishui ordered them to step on the eggshells, Gao Cang widened his eyes, took a deep breath, and silently recited the light body technique before jumping into the pot.

Yue Sheng hesitated for a long time and refused to jump up. Finally, he said, "At worst, I will admit defeat and just write the rules of the sect as punishment."

Before he finished speaking, Gao Cang's water had already deflated and fell into the pot with a thud. Just when everyone thought he would scream and scream from the scalding, Gao Cang said in surprise, "Ah, how come this water is only steaming but not scalding me?"

Later they found out that the water in the two pots was the extremely cold water from the Ice Lotus Pond. Although it looked boiling, it was only just warm.

Su Yishui said coldly: "Don't you always question how Gao Cang is qualified to be your senior brother? He always obeys the master's words without any doubt. This is the only thing you can't compare to no matter how high your cultivation level is."

In fact, Su Yishui didn't expect that Gao Cang, the big fool, would jump up without any hesitation.

It seems that what Xue Ranran said about her senior brothers was not false. Although their foundations were a little weak, they were all kind-hearted and loyal.

So a few scraps of wood finally found some bright spots.

Yue Sheng knew that he was being tested and that he was showing his weakness. His fair face turned red with shame for a moment, and he went to copy the sect rules in silence.

With this killing of a chicken to scare the monkey, the conflicts between the old and new disciples came to an end, and all the disciples could practice together in peace.

As for the mistakes in the kitchen, since the new disciples were so "enthusiastic", the task of cooking was given to them.

Anyway, Su Yishui has started to enter the stage of fasting again and has already banned fireworks. Ranran also has some free time to meditate with everyone.

This time, Su Yishui brought the four people who came in at the beginning with him. Yue Sheng was able to come along, probably because of the connections in Yushan. So he also wanted to perform well and wash away the shame.

However, when going down the mountain, Ranran clearly felt that the passers-by on the road looked nervous and were holding axes or something like that in their hands.

It is said that there have been many incidents of monsters injuring people in the nearby mountains recently, so passers-by always go in groups of three or five and are unwilling to go alone, and they also have to carry some protective gear.

Ranran thought of those ghost-headed spiders. It seemed that there were quite a few monsters escaping from the underworld this time.

When they walked for a while, they saw people from the three major sects one after another. They were also in a hurry and seemed to be heading in the same direction as the Xishan disciples.

Ran Ran asked Su Yishui in a low voice: "All these righteous disciples are out, are they chasing us?"

Su Yishui shook his head: "They should also go to Chiyan Mountain, there are also things they want there."

Ran Ran recalled the clip he had seen in the Brahma Sect History, and suddenly realized, "Now that demons are rampant, the disciples of the righteous path must want to quickly eliminate the demons. Could they be trying to find the Gold Tempering Fire in the Scarlet Flame Mountain?"

In the past, the mighty Shield Sky killed the Demon King with his own hands in the Scarlet Flame Mountain, and left behind a grain of real fire. It is said that it was a seed of fire that he used to refine the corpse of the Demon King. It has lasted for hundreds of years and can eliminate demons and bring about justice.

However, this true fire will only reveal its traces when evil spirits are rampant.

Now that a large number of demons have escaped from the gate of the underworld, perhaps it is time to trigger the emergence of the true fire. No wonder so many righteous disciples are rushing to the Demonic Path Red Flame Mountain, which they disdain to go to.

Chimen is right next to Chiyan Mountain, a vast area with few people. Going further ahead, it is a wasteland area that is scorching hot during the day and cold at night.

So before entering the wilderness, you must fill your water bag with water in case of emergency. When Ranran was fetching water from a stream, he looked up and could see the fiery red Chiyan Mountain in front of him.

It is said that before the Great Shield Heaven ascended to heaven, he slaughtered the Red Flame Mountain, which was once a demon cave. Because the demon king who killed his wife and children was refined here, the Red Flame Mountain has been spewing magma all year round, and the temperature near the mountain is also abnormally hot.

For some magic practitioners, this temperature is just right for improving their true energy and is the best place for cultivation. That is why Chimen, which belongs to the element of fire, has taken root here for a hundred years.

But it was not very friendly to Ran Ran, who had the Yin Wood attribute. So when she arrived at the spring, she couldn't wait to take off her shoes and socks and put her feet into the water.

When the cool water vapor surged up, Ranran became energetic again like a small tree that absorbed water.

"What? Are you feeling bad again?"

Suddenly Su Yishui's voice came from behind her. Ranran turned around and saw Su Yishui standing behind her.

Suez frowned slightly at the female disciple's action of taking off her socks without hesitation.

The feet were so white, and although the nails were not smudged with nail polish, they showed a charming light pink. The beauty's slender feet were enough to attract people's attention.

At least the male disciples fetching water upstream seemed to be looking at this side intentionally or unintentionally.

For the first time, Su Yishui felt that he had too many male disciples. So when he stood next to Ran Ran, his tall body naturally blocked the disciples' somewhat reckless sight.

Ran Ran did not notice her master's little thoughts. She was still thinking about something that she could not figure out: "Master, you said that the grain of true fire left by the Great Shield Sky can really drive away all the evil spirits in the world?"

Su Yishui, however, didn't care about these world affairs. He squatted down and felt her pulse at her wrist.

For some reason, Ran Ran needed more and more Qi recently. Even if Su Yishui wanted to keep her for the time being, he was worried that he could not supply her with his own strength.

Moreover, Ran Ran was on alert when she saw that Su Yishui was going to give her Qi again: "Master, if you want to break into the Red Gate to save Jiu Laoxian, you must stay in the best condition. I'm fine, and there's nothing wrong with me. Please don't give me Qi anymore!"

Ran Ran was afraid that Su Yishui would deplete his inner energy at this critical moment. This place was not Xishan. If he depleted his inner energy, he would not have time to meditate and repair it in the Taoist temple. So she couldn't let Su Yishui deplete himself, lest he be unable to save himself when he fell into crisis.

Su Yishui looked at her, and the feeling of his heart being squeezed surged up again, and he even had the urge to hold her in his arms.

In his opinion, how could he be bewitched by the soul-cleansing talisman? It was clearly the little witch who bewitched him.

This also made him want more and more to find back his forgotten past and find out what was going on with him.

Why has he always been staring at this little girl's face in a daze recently, and sometimes feels some inexplicable impulse when looking at her tender lips?

Even when he was almost engaged to Wen Hongshan, he was very polite to her and didn't have such thoughts, right?

It was in this state of mind that he listened to Ran Ran's words absentmindedly, and suddenly asked, "Do you have a man you like?"

If he remembered correctly, he heard her mother Qiao Lian say that she wanted to arrange a marriage for her, and that she had already arranged several young men for her.

Ran Ran didn't expect Su Yishui to suddenly change the subject and ask this, and couldn't help but say "Ah" in a daze. Su Yishui said calmly: "Just like your mother said, you are not young anymore. If you don't have one, do you have any favorite among your fellow disciples?"

She paused, and was about to say no, but took it back. What's wrong with the master? Is he trying to arrange a marriage for her on behalf of her parents, with someone from the same sect?

Although there were many handsome fellow disciples, Ran Ran thought it was enough to just look at them. She didn't want to cause any trouble with them, so when she heard Su Yishui's question, she simply said, "...There is one, but he is not my fellow disciple. Please don't ask me any more, Master."

But as soon as she said this, Su Yishui's expression suddenly turned a little sour, and he said in a cold voice: "Who is that? Tell me, so I can check it for you."

Ran Ran lowered her head and unconsciously used her white little feet to stir the water. She said slowly, "She is just a person with a weird personality... She looks mature, but she is actually quite childish... She is narrow-minded and likes to hold grudges, but she is very good to me..."

Su Yishui became more and more frustrated as he listened, and said in a cold voice: "How could you fall for such a useless person? Can't you find a good man?"

Ran Ran burst out laughing, raised her head, smiled brightly at him and said, "Yes, he may be really bad in the eyes of others, but in my heart, he is the best. I don't want anyone else!"

Su Yishui stood up with a chuckle. He had wasted enough time in front of this silly girl, and he didn't want to listen to her nonsense any more.

How could a fool like this who could be fooled by a man after just a few seconds of sex like this fall in love with a decent man? He was just bored at the moment and actually asked her such a stupid question!

The journey ahead was extremely depressing and heavy for the Xishan disciples. The master's face was as gloomy as if it was covered in ink, and no one dared to approach him.

But no one could guess what had made the master unhappy. Qiu Xier asked Ran Ran. Ran Ran also said he didn't know.

Because the master seemed unwilling to talk to her, she stopped bothering him after being turned down several times. Anyway, the master had two uncles serving him, so she didn't need to go forward.

During the trip, she would chat with her fellow apprentices to kill time, and she would deliberately dilute her sadness of being ignored by Su Yishui. Ran Ran was never someone who would dwell on grief for too long.

But every time she was amused by Yue Sheng and Bai Baishan and laughed, she would turn her head inadvertently and see the fierce look cast by her master...

Well, when the Master is in a bad mood, disciples should not laugh too loudly.

But as they walked forward, no one could laugh anymore. Yue Sheng was walking in front and accidentally stepped on the ground, which was so hot that he cried out. It turned out that the ground in the wasteland that they had to pass through had become hot for some reason.

Shen Kuang squatted down and said thoughtfully: "This is a sign of the dojo gathering energy. Those who gather geothermal energy are often powerful people who are giving birth... Could it be that Wei Yan is giving birth and preparing to ascend?"

Yue Sheng looked anxious after hearing this. Wei Yan was the most notorious demon after Mu Qingge. If he could be subdued, he would surely become famous. Whether Yushan could be revived depended on Yue Sheng alone, so he naturally did not want Wei Yan to have a baby and ascend to heaven.

But Su Yishui said coldly: "His Jindan is damaged, how can he form a baby so quickly? Such a heat... probably has something to do with the gold-quenching fire..."

However, to find out what happened here, it is better to ask the locals. There is a town called Chiyan near Chiyan Mountain. The town is very desolate, with only one inn that looks cold and shabby.

When they came over, before Yue Sheng, who was walking in front, could say anything, the old man with a white beard who was weaving straw sandals at the door had already spoken: "Are you all here to reincarnate? If you have nothing to do, leave quickly. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave even if you want to..."

Qiu Xier looked at the old man and asked carefully, "What's the matter? Is it dangerous here?"

The old man half raised his head and said coldly: "You are not the first group to die here. I can't persuade you. There is only one room left in my shop. Do you want it?"

The ground outside was boiling hot, and if they couldn't get to Scarlet Flame Mountain today, they really needed to find a place to rest. But this store and this old man were both so strange that they stopped them in their tracks.

At this moment, several people suddenly walked out of the store. The leader was the God of Wealth Wang Suizhi, and beside him were Qin Xuanjiu and others. These people surrounded Mu Ranwu, who was known as the elder sister.

After not seeing each other for many days, Mu Ranwu seemed to be much more energetic and refreshed. However, she had accepted so many orphan disciples in the past, but now only a few of them followed her.

When Mu Ranwu saw Su Yishui and the others were also there, she was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Why are the people from Xishan here too?"

She was not afraid when she saw Su Yishui bringing people with him.

Because she knew that he was doing it for her sister's sake, and would not do anything to her even if he knew she was impersonating him. After all, he had promised his sister to take care of her.

Su Yishui feels guilty about his sister, so no matter what excessive things she does, Su Yishui will not really bother with her...

Thinking of this, Mu Ranwu could naturally greet Su Yishui without fear.

But when Xue Ranran saw Mu Ranwu, her heart became more complicated. Although this deceitful woman might have been her sister in her previous life, Ranran could not feel any sisterly feelings towards her now.

Now, seeing Wang Suizhi and Qin Xuanjiu, her disciples from her previous life, surrounded by her, and thinking of how Qin Xuanjiu had once burst into tears because of his master's poor treatment, Ranran was really worried about these disciples.

Based on Mu Ranwu's personality, she might want to use these disciples to do something.

Thinking of this, Xue Ranran asked coldly: "I wonder what Master Mu is doing here?"

Qin Xuanjiu said, "Recently, many monsters have appeared in various places, harming the people. My master helped the weak and chased the monsters all the way here. What are you doing here?"

Ran Ran heard about the monster and thought, "What kind of monster is it? A ghost-headed spider?"

Qin Xuanjiu said, "Not just this one, they are all monsters from the underworld. You, your master, and Wei Yan once entered the underworld and secretly opened a hole, which released these monsters! My master had to clean up your mess! In my opinion, you and Wei Yan are in cahoots. Did you do this on purpose so that you can take advantage of the chaos to expand your Xishan?"

Xishan has been recruiting a lot of new disciples recently, and is becoming quite popular, so we have to be on guard.

Gao Cang immediately glared at him and said, "Bullshit! Our master went to the underworld to return the spiritual spring. If the spiritual spring is still in the human world, it would be a disaster for all living beings!"

Mu Ranwu smiled and said, "Okay, Xuanjiu, don't blame your brother. When he first entered the underworld, if he was accidentally used by Wei Yan, it was also because of a reason. I believe he didn't release those monsters on purpose..."

When she said this, the timing was just right. Old Feng from the Alien House was leading a group of people out, and his pair of sinister eyes were looking up and down at the Xishan disciples.

In addition, the top disciples from the three major sects also showed up one after another. No wonder the old man of the inn said that it was full. This small and shabby inn is really a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!

It turned out that during this period, monsters had injured people in various places, and the demon-headed spider that Xue Ranran encountered was just the tip of the iceberg.

Even in the capital city, which was full of yang energy, strange things happened. Every night at midnight, huge bats would appear to suck human blood.

This strange phenomenon of demons dancing wildly was even worse than when the demon boy secretly took the spiritual spring out of the underworld.

Nowadays, monsters are rampant and will sooner or later become an unmanageable disaster, so the three major sects were invited by the Beijing Alien House to come to Chishan to find the Tempering Gold Fire that can suppress monsters.

It is because of this spark that the temperature and topography around the Red Flame Mountain appear completely different, and the land under your feet is a baked red color.

However, even Wei Yan, the owner of Chiyan Mountain, could not tell exactly where this spark of fire was.

So everyone gathered here, hoping to force Wei Yan to open the mountain gate and let them go in to find the true fire to exorcise demons.

But they didn't expect that Su Yishui, the demon boy back then, would also bring his apprentice with him. Thinking that these changes seemed to be related to Su Yishui's taking out the spiritual spring, everyone couldn't help but vent their anger on the Xishan master and apprentice.

Mu Ranwu's words were obviously a repetition of her old tricks, and she deliberately chose to say them in front of others to stir up everyone's anger.

But just after she finished speaking, she found that Su Yishui's eyes looking at her were wrong. It was not the indifferent look as before, but a murderous look.

Before Mu Ranwu could react, Su Yishui had already attacked.

Mu Ranwu quickly stretched out her hand to use the spiritual shield to block, but Su Yishui used one hand as a knife, slashing the spiritual shield and grabbing Mu Ranwu's neck.

Seeing him make such a move, Qin Xuanjiu became anxious and quickly chopped with his knife, but unfortunately he was no match for Su Yishui.

But at this moment, two men with dull expressions suddenly appeared behind Mu Ranwu.

Their faces seemed to be sealed, their eyes didn't even blink, their hands turned energy into blades, and they attacked Su Yishui.

The attack was fierce and fierce, and was also filled with a sinister and murderous aura.

In order to dodge, Su Yishui naturally let go, took a few steps back, then squinted his eyes and looked at the two strange men.

Mu Ranwu had been using Professor Wei Yan's method to absorb the spiritual energy of those extremely yin children these days. She originally thought that she had almost recovered. However, she did not expect that Su Yishui's moves were even more fierce now, and he was determined to kill her without any mercy.

Although he managed to break free from the pliers-like hand with the help of the two followers behind him, his throat was so hoarse that he could hardly speak.

She retreated and said angrily: "You...actually want to kill me? Have you forgotten..."

She wanted to say, have you forgotten what your sister told you? But now there were people around her, and she still had to bear the name of Mu Qingge, so she could only endure it.

Su Yishui said coldly: "What I hate most in my life is being wrongly accused. What do these monsters have to do with me? You are trying to instigate me with words, you deserve to be killed!"

Mu Ranwu wanted to argue with him, but her neck was so painful that she could only speak as hoarsely as a duck and her eyes turned red with anger.

Xue Ranran, who was standing by, covered her neck with her hands, as if Su Yishui was pinching not Mu Ranwu, but her slender neck.

Look, if Mu Qingge hadn’t done a lot for Su Yishui later and moved him, this traitor would have been a ferocious beast who could strangle his master to death without hesitation!

Although she was also prepared for the possibility of running out of energy and dying from weakness.

But in her imagination, it would be best if she could go back and reunite with her parents, cook for them one more time, and then lie and say that she was going to ascend to become a god. Maybe after she could never see them again, she could go to the sea of ​​flowers she had visited with her master, and quietly close her eyes and leave under the lingering fireflies.

The thought of dying in Su Yishui's hateful eyes was not a pleasant way to die.

Ran Ran was determined to hold tightly onto her current protective armor. She was her younger sister Mu Ranwu, but she must not let her current master find out that she was Mu Qingge from her previous life!

At this moment, an elder from the Kongshan sect came out to mediate.

"Well, now that we haven't figured out the reason why the monsters are rampant, why bother making such a big fuss? Su Yishui, aren't you here to stay? Just go and get a room."

By saying this, she was implicitly refuting Mu Ranwu's claim that the monster was released by Su Yishui.

Mu Ranwu knew that the three major sects would not be treated as fools by her this time, so she could only cover her neck in hatred and retreat to her room.

After this chaos, Su Yishui booked the last guest room.

But the room was so small that there was not enough space even for everyone to meditate all night.

Ranran and Qiu Xier went downstairs to find some food and at the same time, looked around the inn to see if there were any extra quilts to spread on the floor so that they wouldn't be too tired when meditating.

It was night time and everyone went back to their rooms, set up spiritual shields and kept to themselves. However, when she went downstairs, she heard voices in the backyard.

Ranran looked out through the open window and saw Wang Suizhi talking to a little boy he had brought with him. The child looked thin and frail, with a face full of fear.

"Master, please let me go. It's a rare opportunity today that Master didn't lead me to practice. Just pretend you didn't see me! If I stay any longer, I will definitely die!"
