Chapter 372: First Show of Skills
"That's right." Bai Xiongtao put his hands behind his back, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, senior."
Ye Shi said with some pride: "Grandfather, I have told you long ago that Mu Chen is very powerful."
Bai Xiongtao twitched the corner of his mouth and agreed: "Yes! Yes! He is very powerful."
Bai Xiongtao looked at the monster corpse on the ground and felt a little strange.
Even a six-star martial saint like him could not deal with a monster of this level so easily and neatly. Mu Chen's strength was surprisingly so formidable. The punch he just threw seemed to contain all kinds of power, which made Bai Xiongtao gasp in amazement.
"Mu Chen, what is the name of this move of yours?" Ye Shi asked.
"Everything is transformed into one hand." Mu Chen said.
After upgrading all five techniques to the ninth level, Muchen comprehended this technique on his own. This technique integrated the five techniques into one. It seemed simple but complex, and complex but simple at the same time. It was very mysterious.
"It seems very powerful! Teach me someday!" Ye Shi said.
Mu Chen said with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid you can't learn it." The transformation of things into one is actually the fusion of five techniques into one. Ye Shi only knows about formations, so how could he not learn it.
"If you don't want to teach, then you don't want to teach. What are you saying is that Yan Xing can't learn it." Bai Xiongtao said somewhat displeasedly.
Mu Chen: “…”
Ye Shi quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, Mu Chen said I can't learn it, then I definitely can't learn it. Mu Chen won't be unwilling to teach me."
Bai Xiongtao's face darkened as he glared at Ye Shi with a look of disappointment. Seeing that Ye Shi was unmoved, he glared at Mu Chen fiercely.
Mu Chen smiled innocently and said, "Senior, let's go find the spiritual vein quickly."
Bai Xiongtao nodded and said, "You're right, finding the spiritual vein is important."
"There's a good one over there." Ye Shi pointed to the east.
Bai Xiongtao looked at Ye Shi and asked, "How did you know?"
"Intuition!" Ye Shi said simply.
Bai Xiongtao was suddenly choked by Ye Shi and couldn't move.
Mu Chen looked at Bai Xiongtao and said without hesitation: "Senior, let's go over and take a look."
Bai Xiongtao twitched the corner of his mouth. Seeing how excited the two were, he felt embarrassed to pour cold water on them, so he replied, "Okay!"
"We're here." Ye Shi said as he stood on a mountain peak. "There's a spiritual vein right here, right below."
Mu Chen waved his hand and released hundreds of puppets, which began digging on the ground. The puppets were very efficient, and soon a large amount of Yuanshi was revealed.
Seeing that he had actually dug out the Yuanshi, Bai Xiongtao's eyes almost popped out. Although there were many Yuanshi veins in the restricted area, it was still not easy to find them. When Ye Shi said there was one here, Bai Xiongtao was quite skeptical. In the end, Ye Shi's intuition showed that there was one here.
"Senior, what do you think of the quality of this Yuanshi vein?" Mu Chen spoke to bring Bai Xiongtao back to his senses.
Bai Xiongtao was stunned for a moment and said, "Not bad, not bad, very good." This is a top-grade Yuanshi vein! It has not been mined yet, and the pollution level is still very low.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "In that case, Senior, please quickly collect the mineral vein."
Bai Xiongtao came to his senses and immediately put away the Yuanshi mine. He did not want any of the low-grade and medium-grade Yuanshi in the mine, but only wanted the high-grade and top-grade Yuanshi.
"Let's go back." Bai Xiongtao said, looking at the sky.
Sandstorms often occur in the restricted area. Sandstorms carry strong curses and are very dangerous if encountered. People in the restricted area are not used to going out at night.
Mu Chen and Ye Shi nodded and followed Bai Xiong Tao without objection.
The two followed Bai Xiongtao for a while, and Ye Shi suddenly stopped.
Bai Xiongtao frowned, looked at Ye Shi's pale face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Something happened." Ye Shi said with his eyes wide open.
"What's the matter?" Bai Xiongtao asked in some confusion.
Ye Shi closed his eyes and murmured, "Someone is crying for help. He is in pain."
Bai Xiongtao looked at Ye Shi, frowned, and spread out his soul power, sweeping around. His face was tense as he said, "There is someone, and the curse has taken effect."
"What will happen if it breaks out?" Mu Chen asked.
Bai Xiongtao sighed softly and said, "If you can survive this, the curse will subside for a while. If you can't survive this, you will die."
Mu Chen's heart suddenly sank, and Mu Chen had easily found that person.
"Let's go." Bai Xiongtao turned around and said.
Too many people have died because of the curse, and Bai Xiongtao has long been numb.
Ye Shi grabbed Mu Chen's sleeve and said in a panic, "That man is from the Ling family."
The man was probably in so much pain that his blood was boiling. He might have activated his blood induction unintentionally, so Ye Shi could feel the man's breath.
Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Why don't we go over and take a look."
Mu Chen had already observed that the person who fell ill was just a Martial Master. They should be able to control him. Even if they couldn't help, it should be fine.
Bai Xiongtao frowned and was about to persuade the two of them not to meddle in other people's business, but Mu Chen and Ye Shi had already run away.
Bai Xiongtao was filled with anger and kept cursing Mu Chen and Ye Shi for meddling in his business, but he had no choice but to catch up.
Brother Bai arrived and found that the man who fell ill was Ling Xian from the Ling family.
Ye Shi used five level nine trapping arrays on the man who fell ill. Ling Xian was shaking with pain, but he couldn't break free.
Bai Xiongtao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ling Xian trapped on the ground in a big letter shape.
While Bai Xiongtao was amused, he also felt a bit worried. The old monster of the Ling family was not easy to deal with. If this person didn't make it, and the Cou family thought it was them who did it, then it would be troublesome. Although the Bai family was not afraid of the Ling family, there was no need to seek trouble for themselves!
"How is it?" Ye Shi asked Mu Chen.
Mu Chen frowned. He found that there were black mists in Ling Xian's body. This substance was entangled with the vital energy in Ling Xian's body. At this moment, a large amount of black mist was lingering in Ling Xian's sea of consciousness and rolling in Ling Xian's sea of consciousness.
"He's almost dying of pain." Mu Chen said.
Ling Xian looked at Ye Shi, his eyes gradually calming down. A fierce thought entered Ye Shi's sea of consciousness. Ye Shi couldn't help but feel dizzy. "Give me a quick death."
"You can try acupuncture, but I'm not sure." Mu Chen said after hesitating for a moment.
Bai Xiongtao wanted to tell the two to stop messing around, but Ye Shi spoke before Bai Xiongtao could, "If you have a solution, use it now. Try it now."
Mu Chen took out a few golden needles from the space ring and stabbed them into Ling Xian's head.
Bai Xiongtao looked at Mu Chen's actions and wanted to curse, but he was afraid of disturbing Mu Chen and causing him to kill someone, so he was holding his breath.
Mu Chen used a golden needle to calm Ling Xian, and then pushed the blood out of his palace, guiding the black air to Ling Xian's wrist. Mu Chen cut Ling Xian's wrist, but the black air lingered in Ling Xian's arm and refused to come out.
"Use the Sky-Devouring Worm." Before Mu Chen could react, the voice of the little fire dragon rang out in his sea of consciousness.
Mu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief and released a Sky-Swallowing Worm. The Sky-Swallowing Worm pointed at Ling Xian's wound, opened its mouth and sucked. Suddenly, wisps of black mist floated out and were absorbed by the Sky-Swallowing Worm.
After absorbing the black mist, the Sky-Devouring Worm's level quickly increased significantly.
Ling Xian, who was originally crazy, gradually calmed down.
Ling Xian gradually regained consciousness and forced a smile at Ye Shi and Muchen.
"Are you the Ling family members who came in when the restricted area was opened this time?" Ling Xian felt the Ling family bloodline in Ye Shi.
Before, when Ye Shi restrained Ling Xian, Ling Xian did not struggle too much because he felt the breath of the same blood.
Bai Xiongtao was about to sneer and advise Ling Xian not to think too much and not to recognize relatives randomly, but he heard Ye Shi say, "I guess so."
Bai Xiongtao suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. What do you mean by "it counts as such"? Bai Yanxing is obviously a member of the Bai family!
Bai Yanxing has practiced formation cultivation and has inherited the formation book from his ancestors. It is said that his father is a martial saint of the Bai family, and his mother's father is a casual cultivator from outside the domain. Such a person who cannot be more of a member of the Bai family, now, actually says that he is a member of the Ling family.
"Yanxing, you are a member of the Bai family, how did you become a member of the Ling family?" Bai Xiongtao glared at Ye Shi unhappily.
Ye Shi glanced at Bai Xiongtao innocently and said, "My father is from the Bai family, and my grandfather is from the Ling family!"
Bai Xiongtao was stunned for a moment. The Bai and Ling families were married? Since Bai Yanxing's last name was Bai, he was considered a member of the Bai family. Grandfather was too distant a relative.
Considering Ling Xian was nearby, Bai Xiongtao didn't ask any more questions.
"Are you feeling better?" Bai Xiongtao looked at Ling Xian critically.
"Much better." Ling Xian said.
Bai Xiongtao looked at Ling Xian and said, "You're much better now. You should be able to return to the city by yourself. We won't stay any longer."
"Senior, please go ahead." Ling Xian said.
Ye Shi waved his hand at Ling Xian and said, "Then we'll go."
Ling Xian looked at Ye Shi and smiled. Despite Bai Xiongtao's unfriendly expression, he said, "Since your grandfather is a member of the Ling family, then you are one of us. The Ling family blood in you is very strong. When you have time, you can go to the palace west of the city to meet the ancestor."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "I understand."
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's getting dark." Bai Xiongtao urged Ye Shi.
Ye Shi had no choice but to follow Bai Xiongtao and left in a hurry. Mu Chen followed Ye Shi at a moderate pace.
Bai Xiongtao felt a little strange as he looked at Mu Chen who was silent. He originally thought that Mu Chen was a gigolo, but it turned out that this guy was really powerful!
The guy from the Ling family just now was already hopeless, but after Mu Chen took action, he calmed down.
The man was already terminally ill, but this time, half of the curse in his body should have been sucked away by Mu Chen's worm. The worm seemed to be the legendary Sky-Devouring Worm.
Damn it, if I had known Mu Chen was so capable, why would I have endured it so stubbornly when he had an attack last time?
"Mu Chen, what did you do just now? Why did he calm down all of a sudden?" Bai Xiongtao couldn't help but ask curiously.
Mu Chen frowned and said, "I used the golden needles to stimulate him, forcing the curse in his body onto my palm. However, the curse lingered in his body. I tried to draw it out, but the curse retreated back. Fortunately, the Sky-Swallowing Worm can absorb the curse, otherwise, I would be helpless."
"I saw that the curse in his body seemed to have become much thinner all of a sudden." Bai Xiongtao said.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's right, but it's only a temporary solution. The curse in his body hasn't been completely eradicated, and it will still flare up when the time comes."
Bai Xiongtao curled his lips and thought: Being able to contain it temporarily is already a great achievement, but Mu Chen actually wants to eradicate it.
"Chen'er, someday, can you help me remove it?" Bai Xiongtao changed his usual arrogant attitude and said in a flattering tone.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Since the ancestor has spoken, I naturally have no choice but to do it. However, I acted too hastily this time. Fortunately, I was able to contain it. Please wait for a few days, ancestor."
Bai Xiongtao nodded and said, "Of course, of course."
