Chapter 801
Although he would be responsible for Yue Mo's future elixirs, Yuan Jing had taken the benefits but had not given anything in return. So after visiting the cave that Yue Mo rented and finding it too simple, he seriously helped Yue Mo prepare the items he needed for his retreat and did what he could.
After Yue Mo went into seclusion, Yuan Jing also took the time to do so. He needed to refine the Wood God Crystal. The longer this thing was left outside, the more people would covet it. It would be better to turn it into his own strength as soon as possible.
When Yuan Jing closed the cave and went into seclusion, Yue Mo, who was not far from him, opened his eyes, took a look at the situation in the cave, and couldn't help laughing and shaking his head. The next moment he flashed back to Wuyin Mountain. After all, he was in "seclusion" and could not leave the cave. He would come back to "advance to the next level" when the time was right.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed. Near the cave where Yuan Jing was temporarily staying, many gods and immortals were startled by the noise outside and came out.
"Who is advancing? Wow, there are actually two people advancing at the same time. Look at their momentum, they are going to advance to the Mysterious God level."
"I know the one on the left. It's the cave residence rented by a casual cultivator named Yuan Jing. No wonder he hasn't been seen going in and out to do missions recently. It turns out he's been in seclusion to advance."
"I remember now. I heard that he also went to the Godly Monarch's Forgotten Mansion. I guess he got some opportunities in the Forgotten Mansion. Otherwise, considering the time it took him to advance to the peak of the True God, it would have been far from the time for him to break through."
"Then he is really lucky. I wonder what he got in the Forbidden City."
"Who knows? But I heard from some monks that he brought out an alchemy furnace, and his companion got a Taiqing Shendan."
Many cultivators speculated that Yuan Jing must have obtained more than just an alchemy furnace in the abandoned mansion, and there must be other good things, otherwise how could he have achieved a breakthrough so quickly in seclusion. It was a pity that they got the news too late, otherwise they could have taken action before the seclusion. But it was too late now. When he came out of seclusion, he would be a Xuan Shen. In their city, a Xuan Shen was considered a master.
The surrounding monks did not leave, as they wanted to celebrate Yuan Jing's promotion as soon as possible. Being able to establish a relationship with such a mysterious god would greatly reduce the danger level when performing missions together in the future.
The two auras of advancement subsided one after another. Yuan Jing opened his eyes. Although he had expected it, he was still very happy to break through to the Xuan God level with the help of the Wood God Crystal. When he broke through, he sensed another aura of breakthrough. That direction was exactly where Fellow Daoist Yue was. This made his joy double. It was really great.
He spent some time consolidating his breakthrough. He had been very down-to-earth over the years, so he had a solid foundation. He did not feel frivolous about his breakthrough. He tidied up a little and then opened his cave to welcome guests. He also tried to be the first to congratulate Yue Mo who had also made a breakthrough.
As soon as the cave was opened, there was a burst of congratulations. Yuan Jing returned the greetings one by one, and then went to wait outside Yue Mo's cave. The monks who were watching were very surprised: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, do you recognize this monk who has made a breakthrough?"
Yuan Jing nodded: "Yes, it was Brother Yue Dao who entered the Godly Monarch's Former Residence with me."
"So it was him! You are so lucky." The second sentence sounded a bit sour.
Yuan Jing smiled but said nothing. His situation would definitely make people jealous. According to his original estimate, if he was lucky, it would take decades or even hundreds of years for him to have a chance to break through and advance. Who would have expected that the opportunity would come so quickly? You know, some cultivators may be stuck at this level for their entire lives and unable to break through, and eventually their lifespan will run out.
He deliberately revealed his relationship with Yue Mo, so that the cultivators who wanted to take advantage of him might guess what treasures Yue Mo had obtained in the Forbidden Mansion. Facing two Mysterious Gods, he should have given up his previous idea. To deal with one Mysterious God, he might have to pay a price, but to deal with two Mysterious Gods? Is the price he paid affordable?
After a while, Yue Mo's cave was also opened. The two smiled at each other and both bowed to congratulate each other.
For Yuan Jing, promotion is a very happy thing. You know, he was regarded as a waste and abandoned in the Ye family, but now he has reached the stage of Xuanshen by his own efforts without relying on anyone. Judging from himself, he thinks Yue Mo should be very happy, so he invites Yue Mo to the restaurant to have a big meal to celebrate, and Yue Mo happily goes with him.
Yue Mo, who had not eaten such low-quality food and wine for many years, chatted and laughed with Yuan Jing and when he picked up his chopsticks, he actually thought the food tasted good and ate a few more bites out of courtesy.
"It tastes good, right? When I'm happy, I like to go to a good restaurant to have a meal alone. In fact, when I'm not in a good mood, I also go to a restaurant to have a drink alone. After drinking, I take a nap and all the bad mood goes away."
Yue Mo clinked his wine glass and said, "It's a bit lonely to come to the restaurant alone. You can add me in later."
Yuan Jing was already in a good mood, and now he was even happier. With the help of the alcohol, he patted Yue Mo's shoulder and said loudly, "Okay! I will definitely ask Brother Yue to eat and drink with me. Haha, Brother Yue, I have decided that you are my friend."
Yue Mo looked at Yuan Jing's flushed face, then at the hand on his shoulder, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Okay, I'm older than you, so why not call you Xiao Jing."
"Go ahead." Yuan Jing waved his hand and said generously, turning around and calling the waiter, "Bring another jar of wine. I'm not going to leave until I'm drunk with Brother Yue today!"
"Okay, Xiaojing, I won't come back until I'm drunk."
By the end of the drinking, a pile of wine jars rolled on the ground. Yuan Jing, who was a little drunk, lay on the table and smiled foolishly at Yue Mo. His well-behaved look made Yue Mo couldn't help but stretch out his hand to pinch his hot face. This silly guy even rubbed his hand, which made Yue Mo feel that it was really not easy for this guy to survive alone until now. He was lucky, otherwise he would have been eaten to pieces by others with his silly look.
"Can we go back?" Yue Mo softened his voice unconsciously.
"Okay, let's go back." Yuan Jing stood up, his body swaying a bit. Yue Mo held the drunkard with a helpless look.
Along the way, the little drunkard only laughed foolishly from time to time, and the rest of the time he obediently let Yue Mo lead him. After returning to his cave and opening the formation, he ignored everything, left Yue Mo behind, ran to his room, climbed onto the bed honestly, then lay down, closed his eyes and began to sleep.
Yue Mo looked up at the sky, and finally couldn't help laughing and escaped from his throat. The little drunkard was not afraid of people with bad intentions luring thieves into the house, so he left him in his cave with confidence.
Of course Yue Mo did nothing. He just stayed in the yard, sitting under the shade of a tree, reading a book, while at the same time paying some attention to the drunkard in the bedroom.
As a result, the little drunkard was as well-behaved as before. He slept until dawn the next day and got up rubbing his eyes. When he walked out of the room and saw Yue Mo sitting outside all night, all his memories came back to him, and he apologized to Yue Mo with an embarrassed blush on his face.
Yue Mo reached out and tapped his forehead: "Nothing, I was very happy yesterday, and besides, doesn't Xiao Jing consider me a friend?"
Yuan Jing smiled foolishly again, and unlike the drunken foolish smile yesterday, it was full of warm trust: "Yes, I treat Brother Yue as a friend. It is my fortune to make a friend like Brother Yue."
He once again gave Yue Mo a good guy sign. When had he ever let his guard down so much? He actually slept soundly in the presence of outsiders. When he realized this, he was alert for a moment, but then relaxed again. If something really happened, how could he be fine now?
So his intuition was correct, Brother Yue was a trustworthy person and a good person.
Thinking of this, Yuan Jing felt completely relaxed and became more open-hearted towards Yue Mo.
"Brother Yue, what are your plans next?"
Yue Mo could see that Yuan Jing was ready to leave, so he said, "I've traveled a lot, and it's unexpected that I've stayed here for so long. What about you, Xiao Jing?"
Yuan Jing said with bright eyes: "I also have no fixed place to live. Now that I have been promoted to the Mysterious God, it is time for me to leave here. Where are you going to travel, Brother Yue? Why don't I accompany you?"
"I couldn't ask for more."
"Great, let's go together after I leave this cave."
Yuan Jing was really happy. This was the first friend he had ever made whom he could completely trust. Being able to travel together was a blessing in his life. He had long wanted to experience this feeling. Having a friend whom he could trust his life with, no longer feeling lonely, and going through life and death together was such a pleasure.
"good."
When other cultivators and forces in the city wanted to make friends with these two new Xuanshen and win them over, they found that they had already retreated from the cave and left. They could only express regret, but no one dared to follow them.
After Yuan Jing and Yue Mo set out on the journey, they found that they were more compatible with each other. They had no destination, so they randomly chose a direction as long as there was no danger beyond their strength.
The two of them walked and stopped along the way. Yuan Jing was trying hard to digest the alchemy experience he had gained from the abandoned mansion. He always remembered that he would be responsible for Yue Mo's future elixirs. If he did not improve his alchemy skills, wouldn't this promise become nonsense?
Maybe he had a talent for alchemy, or maybe it was because he absorbed the divine power from the Wood God Crystal, or maybe he was in a good mood, so his alchemy skills improved rapidly, and two months later he was able to refine pills that could be taken by cultivators in the Profound God Stage. The first batch of pills he refined was given to Yue Mo.
Yue Mo accepted it without any disgust. You know, if other gods wanted to give him something, they had to have the top treasures in the divine world, and even those might not be delivered to his door. But now he easily accepted a pill made by an alchemist who had just stepped into the realm of Xuan God, and not even a single pill was of top quality.
Yue Mo encouraged, "This elixir is very good. Two of the first batch of elixirs are of top quality. Keep going. I believe you can make elixirs of the highest quality."
Yuan Jing himself was also happy, but he knew more clearly why: "If Brother Yue hadn't given me the Wood God Crystal, my alchemy skills wouldn't have reached this level. After absorbing and refining the divine power in the Wood God Crystal, I feel that alchemy has become more handy, and the quality of the finished pills is also better."
