A rough calculation reveals that the only person who would be troubled by this is Lin Ju'an. Considering that he would appear in such a remote secret realm at such an inconvenient time, he must be affected by his own affairs.
Although Ji Mo Fan has become less moral since his rebirth, he still has a conscience.
Lin Ju'an watched as the stains on Ji Mofan's body disappeared, then looked him over several times. "Senior Brother went straight into the belly of a monster. You should be worried about how serious your injuries are."
Ji Mofan's clothes were torn in some places.
Even without the protection of scales in its stomach, the digestive juices of the Chilin Lizard are not to be underestimated. Lin Ju'an could hardly imagine what kind of mood Ji Mofan was in when he rushed into the mouth of the monster without hesitation.
If we're not careful, it won't be a case of outsmarting the monster, but rather a lamb entering the tiger's den.
Ji Mofan's complexion looked alright, with only a few minor superficial injuries that didn't seem serious.
"By the way, Senior Brother, is it alright that you got your hands on the blood and flesh of the Chilin Lizard?" Lin Ju'an suddenly realized that he had forgotten something.
The venom that the giant lizard had just released through its tear glands was a bright red, fishy-smelling liquid that looked exactly like its blood. Lin Ju'an had never seen this kind of monster before today, and he wasn't sure if Ji Mofan would be in danger from getting so much venom on him.
"It's nothing. The itching will disappear on its own within one to two hours, depending on individual constitution." Ji Mofan lowered his head and straightened his clothes, his expression showing that he was completely fine.
But Lin Ju'an, who had accidentally splashed a few drops of venom on himself, didn't think so.
His skin, which had been touched by the lizard, was still sore, making him almost want to dig the flesh out.
I only got a little bit, but Ji Mofan practically took a bath in venom.
How could nothing be wrong? The exposed skin is starting to turn slightly red.
"Let's not talk about that." Ji Mofan changed the subject. "Speaking of which, why are you still calling me Senior Brother?"
Lin Ju'an was taken aback.
Indeed, the situation was urgent just now, and I didn't have time to think before I blurted it out subconsciously.
However, Ji Mofan was no longer a disciple of the Yun Cang Sword Sect, and had now joined the Chao Ming Palace, so his address was rather impolite.
But you have to get him to come up with another name for it in a short time...
He is older than Ji Mofan, so there is nothing wrong with calling him by his given name.
But Lin Ju'an still felt awkward, his tongue was tied, and he couldn't say it no matter what.
"...'Senior Brother' isn't necessarily a title." In the end, he could only make up an excuse for himself with a hoarse voice, "It's out of respect for Senior Brother that I'm willing to call you Senior Brother."
"But why is Senior Brother here?" Lin Ju'an changed the subject somewhat awkwardly, as he was indeed curious about this matter.
"It's too chaotic outside, there are fewer people here," Ji Mofan gave a vague answer.
Lin Ju'an understood.
Even someone as close as him was disturbed by the rumors, let alone Ji Mo Fan, the real protagonist.
"Senior Brother, you've worked hard," Lin Ju'an said sincerely.
Those disciples who had followed Ji Mofan back from the Demon Realm all knew that Ji Mofan had no intention of betraying his Daoist heart and turning to the Demonic Path.
But Ning Weisheng gave them a gag order, forbidding them from revealing anything about the Demon Lord.
Ning Weisheng also understood that since it was inevitable that his senior brother would be expelled from the Yun Cang Sword Sect, it was important to preserve another trump card for him.
The reason why he was able to enter the Chaoming Palace smoothly is unknown to outsiders, but Lin Ju'an guessed that it must be related to the Demon Lord.
"When do you plan to bring out the Demon Lord to vindicate yourself?" he couldn't help but ask.
“It’s almost here,” Ji Mofan said. “The time is just around the corner.”
Ji Mo Fan came to this mirage-shrouded secret realm because he carried some memories of his past life.
In my previous life, it was during this opening that an opportunity was suddenly discovered in a secret realm that had previously produced very few resources.
Ji Mo Fan wanted to advance his Nascent Soul stage strength to the late stage before the Dao Asking Conference. Although he had acquired a lot of rare and precious materials from the Chaoming Palace as a reliance, he still wanted to have several layers of insurance to protect himself against the powerful lightning tribulation.
This opportunity lies in the cave where a senior monk passed away.
Perhaps he didn't want his peace after death to be disturbed too soon, so he deliberately chose such a secluded place and set up a very elaborate formation around himself.
The reason it was found this time was because the spirit stones that ran the formation were almost completely used up over time, revealing the entrance, which allowed the cultivator who discovered the clues to forcibly break it open using violent means.
Jimo Fanhui found this place because of the formations set up by his predecessors.
His swordsmanship was inherited from Shen Yun and closely integrated with formations. The fact that this fallen master left behind a formation at the place where he passed away, which is difficult for ordinary people to unravel and can only be broken by force, indicates that he must have been accomplished in formations during his lifetime.
Now that he has left the Yuncang Sword Sect, Xie Qingya in the Chaoming Hall will not shortchange him on cultivation resources, but he is indeed not good at array formations and cannot help him with this.
Fortunately, Ji Mofan is not someone who only knows how to give his palm up; he will take the initiative to find a way out for himself.
Meeting Lin Ju'an was an accident, but it just so happened that he could help protect the Dharma outside.
Following the directions described in his past life, Ji Mofan found a place that looked unusual.
The surrounding vegetation is lush and green, but this place looks lifeless, with withered plants and even insects unwilling to visit.
Lin Ju'an touched his still itchy skin. "Senior Brother, do you need me to help clean up the area?"
Although the terrain here is flat, it is covered with a lot of plants, making it impossible to see what is underneath.
Ji Mo Fan squatted down, looked at the ground beneath their feet, picked up a leaf, turned it from side to side, and finally nodded.
The Xiaoxiang Sword leaped from its sheath, spreading out with surging water elemental power.
The fallen leaves and branches piled on the ground were immediately blown away by the wind, quickly but gently pushing them away to reveal the damp soil underneath.
Lin Ju'an still hasn't noticed anything unusual about this area.
He turned his gaze to Ji Mofan, only to see that the latter seemed to have discovered something in this barren land. He got up, walked towards one of the small trees that looked weak and frail, drew his sword, and slashed down without hesitation.
