Chapter 268 Get Out of Here

After entering the main hall, Xu Mu looked around, and then walked towards one of the large cauldrons that no one was watching. As soon as he reached the place and before he could read the content on it, there was an old man with childish face and heavy hair, leading an old man with a round head. The middle-aged man walked towards them with a smile on his face.

"You two should be Taoist monks Xu Mu and Xu Lingyu, right?" the old man said, cupping his hands towards them.

"Not bad! Who is your Excellency?"

Xu Mu returned the greeting.

Xu Lingyu also turned her head to the old man and the round-headed middle-aged man.

"Wu Chun, the fifth prince's guest, has met two fellow Taoists!" The old man turned his head, pointed at the young man next to him and said, "This is fellow Taoist Xie Chuxie, and I am also a guest of the fifth prince!"

"I've met two fellow Taoists!" Xie Chu said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"The original Fellow Daoist Wu and Fellow Daoist Xie! They are really famous names that we have admired for a long time, and today we meet them and they are indeed well-deserved!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

These words were not all clichés. He had indeed heard their names from Li Youlan.

Wu Chun was a ninth-level alchemist with a late-stage Jindan cultivation, and one of the three gatekeepers of the Fifth Prince.

Xie Chu is in the early stage of Jindan and is a soul cultivator like Xu Lingyu.

The reason why Li Youlan mentioned the two of them was because Li Youlan had a very good relationship with the fifth prince and his mother. They had greeted each other before coming and knew each other's situation.

This mission is equivalent to a welfare. There is no danger and there is a God Refining Pill. Naturally, it is not the turn of outsiders to intervene. The people who come to participate in the mission are basically related to the royal family.

Especially the princesses and princes who were eligible to compete for the throne, except for the eighteenth prince who was devoted to cultivation, all sent people over.

Facing the two people's greetings, Xu Lingyu also nodded politely in response.

"They are all our fellow Taoists, so don't be polite!" Wu Chun said.

The three of them chatted for a while, and after becoming familiar with each other, Wu Chun said: "I won't delay my fellow Taoist from understanding the teachings. I'll take my leave now. We'll talk when we have time later!"

"Farewell!"

Xu Mu handed him over.

Wu Chun took Xie Chu back to the big cauldron where he was originally, and continued to comprehend the magic formulas on it. Xu Mu also calmed down and began to look at the big cauldron in front of him.

The magic formulas on each big cauldron are different, and each of the nine groups of them has exactly one statue. As for the largest cauldron, it is presided over by the ancestor of Nascent Soul who is responsible for this task.

According to the guards, the ancestor of Yuanying this time should be a certain prince of the royal family. The specific Xu Mu is not sure.

Xu Lingyu was here as a bait. He didn't need to control the cauldron. He just stood beside Xu Mu, motionless, like a bodyguard.

The other groups were in the same situation. The alchemist was studying the magic formula on the tripod, while the soul cultivator stood aside doing nothing.

There are now seven groups of people on the field, and two groups have not yet arrived.

The words on the tripod are in ancient characters, and each one contains extremely profound meanings. It is very difficult to remember them. It took Xu Mu a day to barely memorize them.

A seventh-level spell called "The Art of Yuanding" also appeared on the system panel.

"The method is not difficult, but it is probably a bit difficult for ordinary Jindan monks to master it within a month. It is almost impossible to reach perfection or the master level, let alone transcendence!"

But this is impossible, naturally excluding Xu Mu.

With his system, he can quickly upgrade the technique to an extraordinary level by just adding points.

For him now, it is not difficult to upgrade a seventh-level spell.

Just when he had upgraded the "Yuan Ding Technique" to proficiency and was considering whether to learn other techniques, a group of new people were brought in from outside by guards.

There were two people, a man and a woman. The man had his back slightly hunched over and looked dull, while the woman had her chin raised and her hands behind her back, looking arrogant and arrogant.

After the guard who led the way left, the woman looked around and walked towards an empty cauldron. However, she suddenly stopped halfway, took another careful look at everyone, and then walked towards Xu Mu and Xu Lingyu.

Xu Mu originally thought that the other party was here to say hello. He was still surprised that Li Youlan had not mentioned the other party. However, the woman's first words when she came up made him confused.

"We're interested in this! You two, get out of here!" the woman said coldly, her tone sounding like she was scolding a servant.

"..."

Xu Mu was speechless.

Is this woman sick?

These big cauldrons are all similar, what’s the one to choose from?

Even if there is a difference, the person who comes first should be the one who comes first. They are just one step ahead of the other party.

"snort!"

Xu Lingyu's spiritual power surged, and she was obviously about to take action.

This guy is usually like a dull gourd, unable to say a word for a long time, but at this time he is quite active.

The woman obviously realized that they would not leave obediently, and her body was also surging with spiritual power, looking like she was ready to use force.

Everyone around looked over with different expressions, but no one stepped forward to help.

"Since Taoist friend likes it! Then let's give it to Taoist friend!"

Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Xu Mu suddenly stood in front of Xu Lingyu and said with a smile.

"Well……"

The woman was stunned for a moment. She probably didn't expect Xu Mu's reaction. When she realized it, her face couldn't help but become even more proud.

"You know what's going on! Get out of here!"

"Farewell!"

Xu Mu cupped his hands and pulled Xu Lingyu aside.

The people around him were a little stunned. They never dreamed that Xu Mu was so easy to talk to.

Xu Lingyu, who was pulled away, turned to face Xu Mu. She didn't say anything, but the obvious contempt on her face could be seen by everyone.

Xu Mu was actually able to tolerate such a completely unreasonable thing. Xu Lingyu felt no admiration, only disdain.

But when he came, Li Youlan asked him to listen to Xu Mu, so although he was unwilling to give in, he didn't say anything, otherwise the fight in the nest would be even more ridiculous.

Seeing Xu Lingyu's reaction, Xu Mu touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

It was not that he was afraid of fighting with the opponent, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to learn new techniques. Although these techniques could only be used to control the cauldron and seemed of little use, Xu Mu felt that if he learned them all, Maybe there will be some unexpected effect.

Anyway, it was only a seventh-level magic technique, so he could not afford to waste this bit of luck.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, that woman's name is Second Prince Ling Ying. She probably felt that she came a little late and was worried that she would end up at the bottom, so she deliberately took your position!"

At this time, Wu Chun sent a message to Xu Mu and introduced him.

"I know! Thank you fellow Taoist for reminding me!" Xu Mu said.

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't seem to care too much, Wu Chun didn't say much.

Xu Mu, the client, didn't care, so why should he meddle in others' affairs.

Xu Mu looked up at the magic formula on the tripod, as if nothing had happened. Not long after, two more people arrived, also the last group.

This time it was two women, both of them beautiful women. After looking around for a week, they also walked towards Xu Mu.

"We're interested in this! You two, get out of here!"

Xu Mu: "..."

Everyone: "..."
