Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Eight: Like a Sword Tempered by Fire
After watching his unlikely partner enter the passage and walk away, Sun Huo did not follow the instructions and leave immediately. Instead, he turned around and walked to the edge of the spring pool and sat down cross-legged.
The reason why he made the move to seek help from Mu Xin and let him conduct the investigation on his behalf was after careful consideration.
In addition to the reason stated on the surface that he is not good at gathering intelligence, Sun Huo also wanted to take this opportunity to show his goodwill to Mu Xin by offering a favor and ease the unfamiliar relationship between the two.<
/p>
After all, when we carry out missions in the future, we have to act together, and there must be some tacit understanding that can cooperate with each other. He does not want the mission to fail or even cost his own life because of the dissatisfaction between them.
On this point, Sun Huo thought very clearly. As a new member who has not yet made any achievements, he really has no qualifications to compete for his own morale and self-esteem. Rather than wait until one day to be abandoned and become an outcast, he will regret it.
, it’s better to bow down and make peace now.
After pondering for a long time, and realizing that there was nothing wrong with his previous actions, Sun Huo sighed softly, and then took out the pink jade slip delivered by Lu Mei from his storage bag and began to read it word by word.
Get the content.
On the way to the contact point here, he just browsed it briefly and was already quite surprised by the information recorded in it. Now he needs to study it carefully.
There is a page of vivid pictures imprinted on the jade slip, and there is a concise introduction text below it.
The painting clearly depicts a giant clam several feet in size, with circles all over its body that resemble tiger-like markings. Between the two open clam shells, there is a golden ball painted, which looks like
Quite magical and incredible.
Sun Huo admired the picture with surprise for a while, then mobilized his mind to read the text below.
"The Yue Tempering Yuan Pearl can be ground into powder and used to prepare medicine and make elixirs. Taking it can nourish the muscles, bones and organs of the whole body, making the physical body infinitely powerful and tyrannical to an unimaginable level. Its body is made of years from the sea.
The pearls conceived in the belly of the old clam will surface on the sea surface every time the moon waxes, and they will be spit out of the clam shell, absorbing the light of the moon and moon to temper the pearl body, making it even brighter and flawless.
Only pearls that have been tempered by the moonlight for at least hundreds of years and have been nourished by the essence and blood of old clams can have such an incredible transformation and nourishing effect when their surface is completely transformed from the original pink-white color to golden yellow, and can they be called pearls.
For the real moon-tempered Yuanzhu."
"Moon-tempered Yuan Pearl, a pearl that contains hundreds of years of moonlight." Sun Huo murmured to himself silently, feeling excited about the effect he described.
If the description in this is true, for Sun Huo, who cultivates both body and law, this bead can be regarded as the most helpful thing he has heard of so far for his body training. If he can really get it, it will save him the trouble.
Less hard work.
But after reading all the written information, Sun Huo withdrew his spiritual thoughts from the jade slip. His face did not show much joy, but he held his chin with his left hand and pondered, while using the other hand
Continuously turning and playing with the jade slip.
There is great uncertainty in the plan to lure the snake out of the cave with such flamboyant behavior. It is normal for people to attract weird and troublesome people. Therefore, Sun Huo did not take the initiative to step forward because Lu Mei was a female cultivator at first.
They come to contact a strange man and become suspicious. After all, even if she is a woman, she is still enthusiastic and generous.
Sun Huo didn't care much about Lu Mei's use of charm techniques to influence his mind from the beginning. Regardless of the fact that he had endured the pain of body training for so long in order to practice Qianjun Jue, thus honing his toughness.
A person's determination is enough to resist such a level of gorgeous temptation. Even in normal transactions, in order to obtain greater profits, low-level female cultivators use beauty and charm as bargaining methods, which is nothing.
Something inappropriate.
But what really made Sun Huo suspicious was the eager attitude shown by the Moon-quenching Yuanzhu and Lu Mei, the trading item. There were many doubts in it.
"Never trust a beautiful woman, especially when she is interested in you out of thin air."
This is one of the lessons that Sun Huo has never forgotten in his growth so far. It is unforgettable. For this life experience, not only was his compassion betrayed, but he also paid a heavy price in terms of human and financial losses. He still doesn’t know how.
Only in this way can we find the culprit and relieve our hatred.
It was all thanks to Qingluo that it left an indelible shadow in Sun Huo's heart. So much so that whenever he met a beautiful female cultivator, especially one who behaved enthusiastically and proactively, no matter whether he wanted to deal with her or not, she had already thought about it first in his heart.
I started to be wary and alert.
Sun Huo suddenly sneered twice and tightened his grip on the jade slip in his hand.
If it was just that he was suspicious and Lu Mei came here to make a deal, it would be fine. He wouldn't mind letting the other party get some benefits in terms of price. But if he had other agendas against him, then he wouldn't have any pity for her.
Instead, he would join forces with Mu Xin to take action, and then give the credit to the other party as a gift of goodwill.
No matter whether this transaction is successful or not, there are always pros and cons. At this point, Sun Huo has already made up his mind.
After casually stuffing the jade slip back into his storage bag, Sun Huo still had no intention of getting up. Instead, he extended his big hand into the pool and closed his eyes as if feeling something.
Not long after, when he pulled his hand back from the pool, even though it was bruised and bruised by the cold, Sun Huo's face showed a look of reluctance.
While waiting for Mu Xin's arrival, Sun Huo, like other secret guards who arrived for the first time, curiously looked at this very ordinary pool because he was really bored.
Perhaps it was because he had rich True Yang blood accumulated in his body. When Sun Huo picked up a handful of spring water from the pool like others, in addition to the cold and biting touch, he also felt that there was something else in it.
With an almost imperceptible hint of cold energy.
When this trace of cold energy touched his palm, it quickly integrated into his body and disappeared without a trace. For just a moment, Sun Huo felt that this trace of energy seemed to be interacting with his true Yang energy.
combined with each other.
Driven by curiosity, he decided to go deep into it in order to get a clearer personal experience. So Sun Huo used Qianjun Jue with all his strength and walked into the pool to perform martial arts, not only to become familiar with the use of the black stick, but also to
Use your strong blood to resist the coolness of the cold spring.
Sure enough, although most of his mind was focused on martial arts performance, Sun Huo could feel more clearly that the surging blood essence and blood in his body and the true yang energy in his hair seemed to have become a magnet, attracting
With more cold energy in the spring water, it is integrated into your body.
This feeling is quite similar to when wearing a forehead band, but it is fundamentally different.
Although the forehead band can conceal the strong blood energy, it also has a suppressive effect. After wearing it for a long time, it makes him have a lingering feeling of depression. Therefore, Sun Huo never goes out to meet people.
I would rather wear it than force myself to use the old-fashioned method of dividing money and performing martial arts, severely destroying and consuming all my excess energy.
Although the cold energy in this spring pool made Sun Huo feel cold and refreshing, as he continued to perform martial arts in the pool, what he felt was that his entire body became clearer and lighter from the inside out, and
The blood flowing all over the body is becoming more and more energetic.
Although he didn't know what the yin-cold energy in the pool was about, nor how it had changed with the true yang energy in his body, his intuition told Sun Huo that this was a good thing. Therefore.
In the hearty mood, Sun Huo gradually devoted his whole body and mind to the martial arts performance, and was not interrupted until Mu Xin's arrival.
Sun Huo felt both lucky and regretful that this cold spring was located in the contact point of dark clouds. Fortunately, he was able to encounter it and discovered it by chance and it was of benefit to him. Unfortunately, he could not take advantage of it.
,Use it to the maximum extent and for a long time.
Standing up and dusting off the dust, Sun Huo frowned, put his hands behind his back like a little old man, and slowly walked back and forth along the edge of the pool. From time to time, he would stop and look towards the pool.
He looked at it and then continued walking.
This kind of ridiculous hesitation actually happened to Sun Huo, who usually held his head high and his chest high. If Mu Xin saw it, he would immediately and mercilessly slander him.
After a long time, Sun Huo finally stopped. Then he pulled out a large gown, put it on, and walked out without stopping.
After a while, Sun Huo's figure appeared outside the pile of rocks, stepped on the disc and took off into the sky, gradually getting further away.
When Sun Huo disappeared from the horizon, a half-foot-long centipede with a fiery red body and the thickness of a thumb suddenly sprang out from somewhere in the grass near the contact point stone pile. This centipede stopped on a boulder and stood upright.
The small half of his body was facing the direction Sun Huo left.
