Chapter 252: Brokenness is the best dowry for the strong

Lin Du sighed, put down his bowl and chopsticks, took out a hundred high-quality spirit stones and placed them on the table.

"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. Here's the meal money." She said as she took out a thumb-sized piece of black gold. "This is a thank you gift."

Shengyan smiled, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Isn't this thank-you gift too precious?"

"It should be." Lin Du likes to talk to smart people. The interest relationship based on a chance meeting is already solid enough.

Shengyan took away the spiritual stones and black gold piled on the table and said, "As you should."

Even though they all knew that Lin Du had chosen to end up here, he had made the final preparations to fail in the final act and perish together with Shengyan, and at that time Shengyan would have to join the battle in order to protect itself.

Just like how Lin Du helped Shengyan take on the inheritance of 19 ancestral palaces, today I will blame you, and tomorrow you will blame someone behind me, and we will all bear the blame helplessly.

Shengyan hugged her arms and watched Lin Du wipe the blood. She was absorbed in it for a moment and only came back to her senses when Ergou called her.

"Sister, what are you thinking about? Is this person really okay?"

Shengyan stared at Lin Du and blurted out subconsciously, "A sense of brokenness is the best dowry for a strong man."

"Ah?" Ergou was puzzled. "Sister, what are you talking about? I don't understand. What dowry?"

Lin Du leaned on the table, his white hair falling down like water. With his other hand, he produced a bottle of pills, raised his head and swallowed it with blood.

Even though she could only rely on that one arm to support herself, her voice was still clear and calm, with a hint of smile, "Don't worry, haven't I vomited blood many times? It's normal."

Anyway, the pills she prepared for herself were all top-grade pills, and their effects were very reliable.

Yue Han was very scared, "Zhen Liu, are you really okay?"

Lin Du closed his eyes and remained in his current position, too lazy to move. "You guys continue to eat. The sea tribe hasn't gone far yet. There may be someone ambushing us along the way. Let's talk about it after we finish eating."

"So how did you do it? Carry the mountain and run?" Sheng Yan casually put down the spatula and ordered a few useless junior brothers to get food.

"Formation."

"The formation can also be moved?" Sheng Yan didn't know much about the formation. "I thought only those who reached the Qianyuan realm would have the power to move mountains and seas."

"So this is the power of the formation." Lin Du looked back at her with a smile, "Want to learn?"

Shengyan shook his head, "Forget it, I don't have that talent."

If we were to say which Taoist method is the most difficult, it would be the formation method. The precise calculation and layout even requires taking into account the right time, place and people. It is too time-consuming and laborious. For the younger generation of cultivators, it consumes too much time and energy.

Lin Du half-closed his eyes and digested the pill. "If I am weak, I can rely on external forces. Mountains and seas are all at my disposal. I can shake the world and move the mountains. That feeling..."

She laughed, like a crystal flower suddenly blooming in the desolate and gray world.

Shengyan thought about what she said and actually felt the passion of controlling the world with one's weakness.

Perhaps this is the true charm of the array mage.

The food on the table was almost gone, and the people from the mine came over to eat one after another. However, Lin Du, who was rare, did not eat much. Instead, he took a spiritual fruit that Yue Han handed over and ate it casually.

"Everyone, take a good rest and make sure you recover to the best condition. We should be close to the Moon Sea." Lin Du finally spoke after finishing a spiritual fruit.

Yue Han looked at the group from Shengyan curiously. This group of people seemed to be chefs?

"Would you like to join us?" Lin Du did not ignore Shengyan. She did not think that Shengyan came into the secret realm just to cook.

"No, there are only two meals a day, so I can only find time to go out, otherwise the boss will make a fuss." Shengyan smiled and glanced at the young master's table which was decorated with gold and jade carvings and was extremely luxurious.

"Senior Sister! Do we need to pluck and cut open the chickens and pigeons for dinner?" Ergou shouted from the side.

Yue Han was shocked and turned his head stiffly, "What are you dissecting?"

Huang Xuan also had a strange look on his face.

Both birds felt a chill at the same time.

The other people at the table all put on masks to hide the smiles on their faces.

Huang Xuan regrets it now, very much.

"Master, why do you expose your true identity so easily? Aren't you afraid..."

"They are all good people. They didn't forget to protect us when they were running away! Besides, I can't run fast, so I might as well listen to them!"

Huang Xuan was furious. "They eat birds! They eat chickens! They pluck feathers and cut open the stomachs of birds! Humans eat everything. It's horrible!"

Yue Han thought for a moment, "But they don't eat peacocks..."

Huang Xuan was silent.

If these people really eat their young master, can there be any hope for his salvation?

The Moon Sea is not a traditional sea in the Dongming Realm. It looks like a series of large pits from a distance. The liquid in the pits looks solid from a distance. Even when the wind blows, there is not a ripple. Instead, it looks like huge pieces of jade emitting cold light.

Among those jade stones with a soft luster, if you look closely, you can vaguely see some green strips like sea grass, purple spots and yellow phantoms distributed within the vast lunar sea.

"Is this... the sea?" Yue Han was shocked.

"Yes, there is no water in the traditional sense in the Hanyue Secret Realm, so the guide recommends that monks bring more water bags."

Lin Du's appearance at this moment was a bit strange. The white veil over his eyes had not been removed, and the lower half of his face was occupied by a mask, with only his forehead exposed.

"Look up."

Yue Han raised his head and blinked hard, "Why is there a sea above my head? That figure... is it me?"

"This is called Mirror Flower Water Moon." Lin Du smiled, "The Moon Sea in the Cold Moon Secret Realm is all like this."

They stood steadily on the moon sea. Several of them couldn't help but jump out of curiosity. The people above them also jumped and found that the ground under their feet was like hard bricks.

Yuan Ye and Ni Jinxuan made weird and exaggerated movements of their bodies, and the figures above their heads changed accordingly. The group of half-grown children were having a lot of fun.

"Is this also considered a sea? We can't go down." Yue Han asked.

Lin Du's consciousness poured out, "Who said the Moon Sea is a real sea?"

"This is a secret place within a secret place, where reality and illusion coexist. The more people there are, the more real and richer the illusion becomes, and the harder it is to escape."

"Different lunar seas reflect different things, but I think... even though there are eight of us, it shouldn't be that difficult to escape."

Lin Du's voice was filled with a faint smile, and everyone was puzzled.

Yuan Ye coughed and said, "Maybe it's because most of us are kind-hearted and simple-minded people, so the illusion won't be too complicated."

"The biggest difficulty preventing us from leaving the illusion should be Junior Master."

The other four members of the Supreme Sect nodded in agreement.

Lin Du:? I advise you to be careful with your words and actions.

"Then how do we enter the illusion?" Yue Han asked curiously.

Lin Du understood now. It turned out that what Yue Han said after she explained it once was not a lie. He really didn't remember anything at all.

She raised her hand and pointed her slender index finger at the sky and the sea where they were reflected.

"From the virtual to the real."
