Time flies in the mountains; a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Xiuyi was surrounded by the Power of Fate. At this moment, Su Xiuyi's temples were white. In order to use the Power of Fate to deduce the Great Chaos Art, Su Xiuyi had consumed a million years of her lifespan.
In the void, the River of Dao of Fate that had been slowly winding around Su Xiuyi gradually disappeared. At this moment, Su Xiuyi finally awoke from her deep cultivation.
"Call."
Su Xiuyi's eyes were filled with exhaustion.
This cultivation session has severely depleted both my lifespan and mental energy.
"Finally, I've mastered the Great Chaos Art."
"To deduce the final step, I actually consumed a million years of my lifespan. The Dao of Destiny is still not perfect. It is even some distance away from the Lesser Destiny Art. If I cannot further improve the Dao of Destiny, I must never easily deduce the Great Dao Art in the future, otherwise I will die from exhaustion of my lifespan."
"This time, it was truly dangerous. If I hadn't succeeded in deduce and mastered the Great Chaos Art, my lifespan would have been very short. But after mastering the Great Chaos Art, my lifespan increased by 500,000 years."
"However, the mental and physical exhaustion cannot be replenished in a short time; I need to rest for a while."
Su Xiuyi muttered to herself a few times, took out a Life Fruit, and after eating it, the white hair at Su Xiuyi's temples slowly returned to normal.
The trace of vicissitude in his eyes gradually faded away.
After refining the Fruit of Life, Su Xiuyi slowly stood up.
They disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, they appeared outside the danger zone.
"Call."
Su Xiuyi let out another long breath, feeling a little more relaxed.
" Mo Wuji, how long have I been cultivating this time?"
When Su Xiuyi entered this place, Mo Wuji had already arrived. Naturally, Su Xiuyi was asking Mo Wuji.
"It has been one month and three days since you began your cultivation."
"This time during your cultivation, it seems your strength has become even more unfathomable. Congratulations, Senior Su."
Mo Wuji's face was full of flattery.
He felt even greater awe for Su Xiuyi.
"Has it been a month?"
"I wonder if anything has happened in the Chaos Devil Palace these past few days?"
Su Xiuyi asked again.
Mo Wuji quickly replied, "Senior, the Chaos Devil Palace is very peaceful; nothing has happened for the time being."
"Senior, what are your plans next?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiuyi smiled and said, "Yes."
Mo Wuji upon hearing this. "Senior Su, is there anything Wuji can do to help you?"
"If it weren't for you, senior, I Wuji still be a useless piece of trash. Wuji don't know how to repay your great kindness."
"As long as you give the order, Senior, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, Mo Wuji will definitely complete it."
Su Xiuyi patted Mo Wuji on the shoulder, "Of course, I happen to need your help with something."
Mo Wuji overjoyed. "Please give your instructions, senior?"
In Mo Wuji's view, it was an unparalleled honor to serve Su Xiuyi.
Moreover, this was also ordered by Mo Tian of the Chaos Devil Palace; whatever Su Xiuyi ordered, it had to be carried out.
As Mo Wuji looked on expectantly, Su Xiuyi smiled and said, "Having just arrived in the Land of Chaos, I haven't had a chance to properly explore it yet. Wuji, today, you'll be the one to show me around."
As Su Xiuyi's voice fell, a force enveloped Mo Wuji, and before Mo Wuji could react, Su Xiuyi and Mo Wuji appeared in a mortal capital city tens of thousands of miles away.
"Senior, what brings us here?"
Seeing that this was a mortal kingdom, Mo Wuji was momentarily confused about what Su Xiuyi was up to and couldn't help but ask.
After all, if Mo Wuji didn't know Su Xiuyi's purpose, he wouldn't have been able to do things in a way that satisfied Su Xiuyi.
At this moment, Su Xiuyi, Mo Wuji, arrived in front of a brothel.
Su Xiuyi laughed and said, "We have nothing to do today, let's drink until we drop."
"However, remember not to call me 'senior,' just address me as 'young master' here."
"Walk."
As soon as Su Xiuyi finished speaking, she walked into the brothel.
"Um?"
"Senior Su, he..."
Mo Wuji glanced at it and was stunned.
Plum Garden is actually a brothel.
Mo Wuji's mind raced.
He immediately followed in Su Xiuyi's footsteps, behaving like a servant.
"Young master, do you know any fine young ladies?"
As soon as Su Xiuyi and Mo Wuji arrived at the door, the madam immediately came over, and the surrounding girls also gathered around.
The madam was overjoyed at just one glance. Judging from Su Xiuyi's demeanor and attire, Su Xiuyi was far beyond the reach of ordinary nobles.
These are the guests they like best.
Seeing the other girls about to surround him, Mo Wuji immediately stepped forward and glared at them coldly.
"Get out of the way! My young master is not someone like you would dare to approach!"
"My young master has arrived. Why haven't you summoned the most beautiful courtesan from your Plum Garden?"
Mo Wuji gave a casual glare, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
The madam and seven or eight women trembled with fear, not daring to approach Su Xiuyi.
However, the madam was not afraid at all; on the contrary, a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.
Customers like these can be a real money-maker.
As the madam ushered Su Xiuyi inside, she said with a worried expression, "Young master, I'm so sorry, Linglong is feeling a little unwell today and is resting."
"Although I am the mother, I dare not force Linglong to come out. I'm afraid you will be disappointed, young master. Perhaps you could come again tomorrow?"
"Or, perhaps the other ladies could keep you company today."
The madam looked on with a cautious, apologetic expression.
In reality, it's just a common tactic.
"Add more money."
Su Xiuyi smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Mo Wuji waved his hand.
A box appeared in front of them. The box was opened, and inside was a steady stream of gold.
"That's ten thousand taels, is that enough?"
"Why aren't you letting the girl out right now?"
Mo Wuji looked at the madam and sneered.
For beings like Su Xiuyi, they naturally wouldn't carry gold, but they could easily turn stones into gold.
Mo Wuji's acting was also excellent.
Try your best not to reveal any flaws and satisfy Su Xiuyi.
"This... this..."
The madam was stunned when she saw the thousands of taels of gold.
The next moment, he immediately squatted down, picked up a gold ingot, and took a big bite.
After confirming it was true, his face was filled with ecstatic joy.
Mo Wuji extremely annoyed by the slow pace, but dared not show his anger. He coldly said, "Why don't you immediately bring out your Linglong? If my young master is satisfied, there will be a reward. My young master doesn't care about money."
Upon hearing this, the madam became even more excited.
Just as she was about to speak, an icy voice rang out from behind Su Xiuyi.
"Wait."
"A mere ten thousand taels of gold is all it takes to win over Miss Linglong? How laughable."
Splash!
At that moment, a group of guards immediately entered and drove away the surrounding people. A young man in brocade robes strolled in, exuding an air of nobility. Not only did he have an extremely high status, but he was also accompanied by a eunuch disguised as a steward. Clearly, this young master was no ordinary person.
Upon seeing this, the madam standing nearby had a glint of cunning in her eyes.
The madam knew at that moment that Linglong was a rare commodity.
However, he didn't show it on his face, only looking at the newcomer with a troubled expression, "Young master, this isn't appropriate, is it? The young master Su here has offered ten thousand taels of gold."
The meaning is clear: if you want the Linglong, you'll have to pay extra.
No sooner had the madam finished speaking than the eunuch disguised as a steward coldly said, "Do you think my young master is short of money?"
"My young master offered twenty thousand taels of gold."
"My young master has come today specifically for Miss Linglong, hoping to hear her Linglong the zither."
"Two or three thousand taels?"
"·····"
Upon hearing this, the madam's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with shock.
"What?"
"Twenty thousand taels of gold?"
"Judging from his entourage, this young master is probably from the palace."
The guests in the Plum Garden all looked this way.
As the eunuch finished speaking, he coldly glanced at Mo Wuji, giving him a dismissive look.
"Young master, look..."
Upon seeing this, the madam immediately looked at Su Xiuyi with an apologetic expression.
"It's just money, isn't it?"
"Add more money."
Su Xiuyi didn't care at all and looked at the newcomer with great interest.
Su Xiuyi saw a strong aura of fortune in this young man.
This person is definitely royalty.
Seeing that Su Xiuyi was not angry, Mo Wuji smiled.
Mo Wuji could see right through the person in front of him at a glance.
In the mortal world, they may indeed have a noble status, but compared to them, they are nothing.
Seeing that Su Xiuyi seemed to be enjoying this mundane pleasure, Mo Wuji sneered, "What a disgrace! A mere twenty thousand taels, and you think you're so capable."
"It's just money, isn't it?"
"The thing my young master has in abundance is this."
"Madam, take a look at this."
A luminous pearl appeared in Mo Wuji's hand.
"Um!"
"What?"
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Upon seeing the luminous pearl in Mo Wuji's hand, everyone present was instantly astonished.
A casual glance at this luminous pearl reveals its priceless value.
A collective gasp filled the air.
The old eunuch's face turned extremely ugly upon seeing this.
Her gaze involuntarily turned to the young master, "Young master..."
Clearly, they hadn't expected Su Xiuyi to be so generous.
At that moment, the madam wished she could immediately hold the luminous pearl in her hands, but she still glanced at the young man beside the old eunuch out of the corner of her eye.
"Madam, these things are all mundane."
"This is an item from the immortals; wearing it regularly can prolong life."
How do you think its value compares to a single bead?
The young man was extremely confident.
"Is it something that prolongs life and is believed to be from immortals?"
"Young master, don't try to fool this old woman. Items from the immortal realm are not something ordinary people can obtain."
The madam remained unmoved, for she simply didn't believe it.
"My surname is Huang, the Huang of Heaven."
The young man took a step forward, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his voice was so soft that only Su Xiuyi and a few others could hear him.
Upon hearing this, the madam turned pale with fright. Looking at the old eunuch disguised as the steward, she instantly understood.
"Young master, today..."
He wanted Su Xiuyi to leave, but Mo Wuji his hand, and a pill was thrown into the madam's mouth, which she swallowed.
Cough cough cough.
"Sir, what did you give me to eat?"
A look of panic appeared on the madam's face.
Mo Wuji didn't answer. Instead, a mirror appeared in his hand, and he said to the madam, "Look at yourself. Don't you look younger?"
The next moment, the madam was shocked to find that her appearance had visibly become younger.
Upon seeing this, the young man surnamed Huang's expression changed drastically.
He immediately bowed to Su Xiuyi, saying, " Mingtan greets you, sir. Congratulations, sir. Miss Linglong is now yours. I, Mingtan, will cover all your expenses for today."
" Mingtan was reckless today, and I hope you will forgive him."
Seeing this, even if they didn't know that Su Xiuyi was no ordinary person, such a pill was probably not even available in the palace.
However, a servant beside Su Xiuyi threw it out without a care.
There is only one possibility: Su Xiuyi is an immortal.
The madam finally realized what was happening.
"Young master, please..."
The madam's voice trembled slightly.
I was both excited and nervous.
Seeing Prince Mingtan's legs trembling slightly, Su Xiuyi smiled and said, "Since you've gone to so much trouble, young master, let's go upstairs together to listen to the music."
"I see there are many poor people in the city. Please give me the money I have to help them."
As Su Xiuyi finished speaking, Prince Mingtan was overjoyed.
"Thank you, young master."
He bowed to Su Xiuyi and then ordered the people around him to handle the situation.
They followed Su Xiuyi upstairs.
As soon as Su Xiuyi sat down, Mingtan knelt down directly in front of her with Su Xiuyi.
" Mingtan pays homage to the immortal."
"Get up."
"I'm not some immortal being. I'm just here to quietly listen to the music."
Su Xiuyi smiled and said that she didn't take what happened before seriously.
Mo Wuji showed no sign of blaming him.
From the moment Prince Mingtan Prince Mingtan appeared, he was acting. Su Xiuyi and Mo Wuji had already sensed his true intentions. Prince Mingtan was only here to save his life and tarnish his reputation. Being born into the royal family was good, but fighting for the throne could lead to death.
"Yes."
Mingtan stood up and immediately poured wine for Su Xiuyi.
Soon, a stunningly beautiful woman entered and bowed to Su Xiuyi, saying, " Linglong greets the immortal."
Yu Linglong was extremely nervous at this moment, having already learned from the madam that an immortal had come today.
"Miss Linglong, please don't feel pressured. I've simply come here to listen to music because I was moved by something."
"Miss Linglong, just treat me like an ordinary person."
With a wave of her hand, Su Xiuyi calmed Yu Linglong down.
He walked up to the guqin and began to play.
Su Xiuyi drank wine while listening to music, completely absorbed in it.
As for Prince Mingtan, he kept pouring wine for Su Xiuyi, showing no interest in listening to the music.
Mo Wuji soul power roamed the heavens and earth.
In Mo Wuji's view, Su Xiuyi's arrival here was probably not simple. Su Xiuyi's words that she had a feeling made Mo Wuji very cautious.
I stayed in the Plum Garden for a full seven days.
For the next seven days, Prince Mingtan came every day to pour wine and tea for Su Xiuyi.
Su Xiuyi drank a cup of wine, her gaze falling on Prince Mingtan. She smiled and said, " Mingtan, I am about to depart today. These past seven days have been hard on you. I bestow this upon you; it can save your life."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Xiuyi Space Breaking and disappeared.
Mo Wuji followed Su Xiuyi, puzzled, but he didn't ask her why she went to the Su Xiuyi realm for seven days.
Suddenly, the communication talisman in Mo Wuji's pocket vibrated. Mo Wuji glanced at it and his expression changed drastically.
"Senior Su, the Palace Master has sent word that the Tai Huangtian avatar has descended upon the Devil Palace."
