Tomorrow, he will bring several more volumes of basic techniques for rubbing from the Tianyan Sect's library, which have inspired Yinfeng.
The matter then turned into a cooperative spirit mine mining deal, requiring detailed discussions with Junior Sister Zixi.
Mu Yuan always adopted a very humble posture and had a gentle smile whenever he came.
He brought tangible benefits, which made everyone at Hidden Peak, from True Person Yunyan to ordinary disciples, welcome him with the utmost respect.
Mu Yuan's primary target remained clear and unambiguous: only one person.
No matter what reason he came for, he always ended up running into Zi Xi, either by going to her chain repair shop to give her guidance, or by appearing just when Zi Xi was reporting to Master Yun Yan.
The two had more opportunities to interact, and their friendship began to deepen.
Mu Yuan was well aware of the principle of "boiling a frog in lukewarm water".
Moreover, he no longer used those easily seen-through tricks as he did at the beginning, but instead cleverly wrapped his intention to get closer under the guise of friendship between fellow disciples.
"Junior Sister's aura seems more refined than last time. Has she made progress in her cultivation? If you have any questions, we can exchange ideas."
During the cooperation negotiations, Mu Yuan casually asked a question, as if it were just a polite remark.
"This bottle of Qingling Pills is of the highest quality. It has a remarkable effect on calming the mind and resolving pill poisoning. Junior Sister is diligent in her cultivation, so she should be able to use it."
When the samples of pills were delivered, Mu Yuan would specifically point out one bottle, mixing his homemade pills with the rest of the samples, making it seem as if he was keeping his personal and public affairs separate.
Despite not being a particularly gossipy person, Mu Yuan would still share news about the chain repair, such as a 300-year-old Ice Heart Lotus appearing in the East Sea Market and a water-repelling pearl recently auctioned off at an astronomical price in the North Sea Auction House.
What appeared to be casual conversation was actually a way of conveying information about resources that Zixi might need.
Zi Xi couldn't figure out what Senior Brother Mu Yuan meant by these hidden agendas.
But she still kept public and private matters separate when accepting things, and would never take an extra needle or thread.
When it comes to communication regarding chain repair, I respond cautiously, mostly just listening and not readily offering my opinions.
Mu Yuan smiled wryly at this, saying that his junior sister was being too distant, but he wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, he found her earnest attempt to draw a line quite amusing.
At least, she can't completely ignore him like she did at first, can she?
On this day, Mu Yuan strolled leisurely to the back mountain and saw Zi Xi practicing her sword by the waterfall from afar.
He didn't make a sound to disturb them, but instead leaned against an ancient tree and watched quietly.
As I watched, a serious look gradually appeared in his usually smiling fox-like eyes.
Zi Xi's swordsmanship remained sharp, carrying her unique calm style, and her spiritual energy flowed much more smoothly than before.
But Mu Yuan had such keen eyesight that he could keenly sense that at the moment of connection between some of her moves, there was a slight, almost imperceptible stagnation in the flow of spiritual energy.
Although she could adjust immediately, this subtle disharmony limited the power of her sword strikes.
This isn't due to insufficient practice or lack of comprehension in Xiaobingkuai; it's more likely a flaw in the technique itself.
Mu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood.
Since my uncle has been at Hidden Peak for so long, his cultivation techniques are all from a hundred years ago. They are of a high grade but are incomplete, which is normal.
"Junior Sister's swordsmanship is improving day by day, which is truly admirable."
After Zi Xi finished practicing her sword technique and was recuperating, Mu Yuan clapped his hands and chuckled before stepping forward.
"Senior Brother Mu Yuan."
Zi Xi turned her head at the sound of his voice, and seeing that it was him, she was not surprised and nodded slightly.
Mu Yuan smiled with satisfaction.
