Chapter 151 Exposed
"Brother Wei, are you...are you okay?"

It turns out that this person is a cultivator from Luoyun Sect!
"Junior Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for so many years. You look a little old." The monk with disheveled hair sighed lightly and said leisurely.

"Brother, why are you..."

"Well, since we can meet again here, it means our fate is not over yet. Let's not talk about what happened in the past anymore."

"When I entered this place, I swore a solemn oath. I will not leave the mountain until I condense into a baby."

"And I also learned from my two uncles that everything in the sect is managed in an orderly manner by Junior Brother Feng. I have nothing to worry about."

Senior Brother Wei said calmly.

After hearing this, the old man in gray looked a little gloomy, and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Brothers, please wait for a moment. I will remove the restriction and let you lead the team into the holy land."

Senior Brother Wei stood up and a spell flew out from his sleeve, hitting the yellow stone door, which immediately split into two silently.

Before Yin Mo could see clearly what was going on inside, he felt a pure spiritual energy coming towards him.

Sure enough, the Spirit Eye Tree was inside.

However, after a brief comparison in his mind, he found that the purity of this spiritual energy was by no means inferior to that of his spiritual eye jade, and was even slightly better. It was truly worthy of being a top-level spiritual eye item.

Led by the old man with long hair, Yin Mo and others walked into the door. Suddenly, a huge stalactite cave appeared in front of them.

This cave is hundreds of feet long and wide, and twenty to thirty feet high. At first glance, it feels like you have walked into an underground world.

What is even more surprising is that the ground is covered with stalactite columns of various sizes, forming a natural stone forest. The densely packed area surrounds most of the caves, like a small maze.

Yin Mo observed carefully and found that there was a faint flickering of white light between the stone pillars, which obviously indicated that some kind of restriction had been imposed by someone.

While he was pondering secretly, the old man with untied hair had led a few people to the edge of the stone forest, holding a palm-sized white ancient mirror in his hand.

The old man said nothing, muttered something, raised his hand, and a beam of white light shot out from the mirror, shooting straight towards the stone forest in front of him.

With a "puff", the beam of light disappeared into the stone forest in the blink of an eye, like a drop of water entering the sea.

The old man then put away the small mirror, stood there with his hands behind his back, and said nothing.

Some young disciples felt strange, the ground began to tremble slightly, and then, a scene appeared that stunned the low-level monks.

The large and small stone pillars emitted a milky white glow at the same time, and then a large yellow light rose from the stone forest, and some of the stone pillars actually began to move away in a dazzling manner.

When the young disciples came to their senses from their surprise, they found that a straight path had been split in the stone forest.

Seeing this scene, Yin Mo's expression changed slightly, but then he regained his composure.

The crowd walked easily along the path to the center of the stone forest and finally saw the legendary Spirit Eye Tree.

"Is this the Spirit Eye Tree?" Looking at the thing that was about ten feet tall in front of him, Yin Mo was speechless.

If you say that this straight object, as thick as an arm and light green in color, is a bluestone pillar, most people would probably believe it and would never associate it with a tree.

However, the amazing spiritual energy that permeates the entire cave is indeed emitted from this bumpy "stone pillar".

Moreover, there is a layer of light golden light outside the stone pillar, covering it tightly from top to root.

Judging from how careful it is, this Spirit Eye Tree should be real!
Although Yin Mo had a lot of complaints in his heart, when he saw the gray-robed old man and other cultivators' fiery gazes towards the tree, he had to admit that if cultivators could practice directly under the tree, as long as they did not encounter bottlenecks, the practice time could probably be shortened by half.

Yin Mo did not pay much attention to the Spirit Eye Tree. His eyes fell on a jade bottle under the spirit tree.

The jade bottle was about half a foot tall, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and it exuded a familiar medicinal fragrance.

Could this be the "Ming and Qing Spiritual Water" that was prepared for the most part? Yin Mo thought to himself.

When the others were several feet away from the Spirit Eye Tree, they all stopped consciously.

Only the old man with untied hair stepped forward without hesitation. The light golden light shield seemed to have no effect on him, allowing him to pass through without any hindrance.

The old man walked a few steps to the Spirit Eye Tree, circled it twice, then raised one hand and placed his palm on the middle part of the spirit tree.

Then he slightly activated his spiritual power, and green light flashed at the fingertips of his five fingers.

When the other people outside the light shield saw this scene, although most of them didn't know what the untied-haired monk was doing, they still couldn't help but hold their breath for fear of disturbing him.

After a while, the old man with untied hair shook his head slightly, retracted his fingers, and the green light disappeared without a trace.

"The alcohol in the spirit tree has not yet reached its optimal state. We need to wait another three or four hours."

"Before that, you can sit cross-legged nearby and rest for a while. I will finish the last step of mixing the Mingqing Spiritual Water. I just need to add the alcohol liquid."

The old man with untied hair turned around and spoke calmly.

"Everything is subject to Brother Wei's arrangements!" The middle-aged monk and the monk in yellow nodded in agreement, and the old man surnamed Yu had no objection.

So, Yin Mo and other young disciples, under the instructions of several Jindan stage cultivators, sat cross-legged in the center of the stone forest.

Some people closed their eyes and rested, while others began to practice breathing exercises.

The old man with untied hair leaned over and grabbed the jade bottle under the spirit tree. He casually flicked his sleeves, and the light golden light shield suddenly emitted a dazzling light, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Everyone else remained calm when seeing this scene, but Yin Mo frowned and secretly summoned the weapon spirit Yin Yue to come.

"Brother Yin, what's the matter?" Yin Yue's voice came.

"I remember that you are good at earth escape techniques. Can you sneak into the light shield from underground?"

"Don't do anything else, just take out a piece of the spiritual root of the Spirit Eye Tree." Yin Mo said lightly.

"Brother Yin, please wait a moment. I'll try it." Yin Yue replied.

After saying that, Yin Yue transformed into a little wolf the size of a fist and quietly crawled into the ground from under Yin Mo.

Yin Mo remained calm and composed.

Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the big man Du Dong.

Du Dong sat cross-legged in a corner, breathing quietly and practicing, without moving.

Yin Mo took a look and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if hiding a hint of sarcasm.

Du Dong's little action did not attract the attention of others, but Yin Mo had already begun to monitor his every move with his spiritual sense when he entered this place to prevent any accidents.

Although Du Dong was sitting with his head down at the moment, his lips trembled slightly, as if he was communicating quietly with someone.

Surprisingly, there were Du Dong’s accomplices in the room.

In order not to alarm the other party, Yin Mo did not forcibly spy on their communication, nor could he confirm the other person's identity.

However, the only cultivator who could dodge under his spiritual observation without being exposed could only be one of these four Jindan cultivators.

Yin Mo thought quickly, his eyes wandering over these people. It was hard to determine which one was more suspicious.

At this moment, Yin Mo received a message from Yin Yue.

"Brother Yin, the roots of the Spirit Eye Tree are also covered by a light shield." "I can break into the shield by force, but this may alarm the Jindan cultivators inside. Do you need me to take the risk of destroying the shield?" Yin Yue asked in a low voice.

"Don't act rashly! Violent methods should be reserved for when there are no other options."

"I think there will be chaos here soon, and it won't be too late to take action then. Yin Yue, you should come back first."

Yin Mo decisively rejected Yin Yue's suggestion and asked him to return.

Yin Yue did not object, and his mini silver wolf returned to Yin Mo's body silently.

Yin Mo closed his eyes and did nothing else except secretly observing Du Dong's movements.

After a while, Du Dong suddenly closed his mouth, raised his head and looked around, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Yin Mo's heart tightened and he was thinking about whether he should take action, but Du Dong suddenly lowered his head and everything returned to calm.

Yin Mo felt a little strange.

At this moment, a huge roar was heard, and then the whole cave shook violently. All the monks opened their eyes in panic and looked at each other with horror on their faces.

The gray-robed old man and others also showed surprise. The yellow-robed monk frowned and hurried towards the stone gate.

But before he could get close, the stone door opened by itself, and a gloomy old man with a long face walked in.

"Senior Brother Hu, what happened!" the yellow-robed monk asked hurriedly.

"This place has been discovered! A group of mysterious monks suddenly appeared outside and attacked the formation outside the valley. Not only were there Jindan-stage monks, but there were also old monsters in Yuanying-stage who participated in it."

"It seems that they are neither a righteous alliance nor do they follow the style of other forces."

"Senior Lan has already led his men out to deal with the large formation, but the other side is very powerful, so you should also follow me out to provide support."

"We only need to leave Senior Brother Wei here to guard. As for dealing with these disciples, let's put it aside for now."

“Fellow Daoist Yue, please lead these disciples to the quiet room. During this period, if anyone dares to enter the Holy Tree Cave, Senior Brother Wei, you will be held responsible.”

The long-faced old man said in a sharp tone.

"I understand, Brother Hu! You take the others to fight the enemy! I will protect this place."

A calm voice of an old man with untied hair came from within the light shield.

After hearing this, the long-faced old man showed a relaxed expression, led the gray-clothed old man and the middle-aged man from Baiqiaoyuan, and hurried away.

Seeing this, the monk in yellow turned around and told Yin Mo and the others bluntly:

"You all heard it. Don't deal with them for now. Come with me to the quiet room for shelter." Then he left without looking back.

The young monks did not dare to delay and followed closely.

Yin Mo watched Du Dong obediently follow the other disciples out of the stone forest without anything unusual happening.

He sneered in his heart and quietly followed everyone.

Since even someone with evil intentions like Du Dong can be so calm, why should he be anxious?

However, what happened outside seemed to have nothing to do with Du Dong.

This timing is too coincidental. Is Du Dong here in contact with the outside world?

Yin Mo still had doubts in his heart.

After a while, the ten disciples were led by the yellow-robed monk around a large circle and entered a larger stone chamber. Then he gave a few instructions and left in a hurry.

Obviously, he was preparing to go to the battlefield to support.

At this moment, the explosions in the distance became more intense and the ground shook more and more, as if a fierce battle was going on outside.

Although these young disciples were somewhat uneasy, after seeing the yellow-robed monk leave, they split into several groups according to their sects and began to discuss in low voices.

Yin Mo, Du Dong, the woman surnamed Mu and Sun Huo naturally stood together.

"I never thought that Uncle Bai from the Ancient Sword Sect was actually a spy for the Righteous Alliance! I used to think that he was also a Jindan cultivator who came from a casual cultivator background. I even admired him very much!"

Sun Huo seemed to have kept these words in his heart for a long time. He first sighed, and then expressed the sigh from the bottom of his heart.

"Brother Sun, do you really think it's so easy for a casual cultivator to form a pill? Without the support of a big family, few people can have such an opportunity."

"But you, Junior Brother Sun, are a true independent cultivator. I heard that many families are interested in recruiting you."

"Why don't you consider joining one of them? It will be of great help to your practice."

The woman surnamed Mu glanced at Sun Huo coldly and spoke without any emotion.

"Haha! I don't believe that a cultivator must have a family to form a pill."

"I may not be that great, but I don't want to give up my freedom just to join the family."

The resolute young man sneered and said, with pride flashing in his eyes.

Then he inadvertently glanced at the woman named Mu, looking at her beautiful face, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

However, the woman surnamed Mu seemed to not care at all and did not respond.

"However, speaking of it, this Master Bai can be considered a pitiful man." Du Dong suddenly interrupted.

"Poor? Junior Brother Du, what do you mean?" Sun Huo was a little confused and couldn't help but frowned.

There was a green light in the eyes of the woman surnamed Mu, and she also looked at him with surprise.

Du Dong smiled, completely different from his usual simple and honest appearance. He ignored Sun Huo and the woman surnamed Mu, turned his gaze to Yin Mo, and asked grimly:

"Junior Brother Yin, do you think what Du said makes sense?"

"I don't know. I don't know much about this Uncle Bai, so I can't comment."

Seeing that the other party had brought the topic directly to himself, Yin Mo remained expressionless and answered calmly.

"Really? But I think..."

"Junior Brother Du, you are too presumptuous. Didn't you hear me asking you?" Seeing that Du Dong ignored his question, Sun Huo scolded angrily.

"Hey, speak softly! I'm not deaf. Of course I heard your question. It's just that I'm not interested in answering such nonsense."

Du Dong glanced at Sun Huo, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he showed a ferocious expression and said.

"What, you..."

"Who are you?" The woman surnamed Mu finally noticed something was wrong. Her face darkened and she quietly moved her hand to the storage bag and asked in a cold voice.

The disciples from the other two sects also noticed the difference between them, and looked at them with surprised expressions.
