Chapter 108 Meng Yanran

The purple-robed noblewoman Meng Yanran curled her lips when she heard this, with a look of disdain in her eyes, but she still said something polite.

"If you say so, you must be aware that you have a strong family background. If that's the case, I can talk to you about it!"

Yun Hao smiled confidently after hearing this.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, just state it clearly. If I cannot provide what you need, I will naturally turn around and leave."

Meng Yanran chuckled and gave a relatively embarrassing and pertinent answer.

"If Fellow Daoist Li can provide me with an elixir that can help me break through the Jindan stage or help me tame a spirit beast, then I can also take the initiative to hand over the only corpse of the Moon-gazing Wolf in my family to you."

Yun Hao frowned after hearing this, and then his face turned dark. He felt that Meng Yanran was asking for too much, but how could Yun Hao do as he wished? While complaining, he asked in return.

"I'm afraid Fellow Daoist Meng is just daydreaming! I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Meng to be so insincere. If I can come up with an elixir to assist in forming the elixir, do I still need to come to this market to purchase the materials of this demon wolf?"

Meng Yanran's slightly made-up face raised an expression.

"So, Fellow Daoist Li chose the second condition!"

Yun Hao's mouth twitched when he heard this.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, please tell us what kind of spiritual beast you have recovered first! I will give you an answer after listening to you."

Meng Yanran heard this and spoke frankly.

"The matter is also very simple. My level 2 spirit beast, the Moon-gazing Wolf, died unexpectedly in a fight with someone last time. However, I recently found out the location of another spirit beast. It's just that it's difficult for me to catch it alone, so I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Li for some help."

After hearing what Meng Yanran said, Yun Hao looked strange.

"Brother Daoist Meng has the support of the Zhong family, so how could he be short of manpower? Are you making fun of me, Brother Daoist?"

When Meng Yanran heard this, a look of worry appeared on her face, and she immediately smiled bitterly.

"Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking. I will not hide it from you. Since my son died unexpectedly a few years ago, my status in the family has plummeted. Those two bitches relied on their good offspring to squeeze me out of the situation. Now I am almost reduced to being the manager of this market!"

Yun Hao roughly understood the three meanings of it after thinking about it, and thought to himself.

"It's probably another family power struggle! The family can be good or bad, but the good thing is that when many hands make light work, the fire burns higher. Numbers are an advantage. Whether it's resources or something else, it's definitely easier to collect than one person. But the corresponding disadvantage is the family. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Even if they are a family, they can naturally unite to face the outside world when there is an external threat, but when there is no external pressure, they will also roll inward..."

Yun Hao thought about this and shook his head, then asked Meng Yanran

"Fellow Daoist Meng, you haven't told me what kind of spiritual beast you want to capture? If the difference in strength is too great, then please forgive me for not being able to help you!"

When Meng Yanran saw this scene, she first fiddled with her hair beside her ear, then smiled gently.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li. This beast is only a level three beast. It's just that it's a flying beast. I can't take it down by myself. That's why I want to ask Fellow Daoist Li for a helping hand."

Yun Hao touched his chin, thought for a while and then frowned.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, I didn't hear you wrong! A level three demon beast, this is comparable to a demon beast in the middle stage of foundation building! Also, why didn't Fellow Daoist Meng use the power of his family? Instead, he sought help from an outsider like me, Li?"

Meng Yanran sneered when she heard this.

"Brother Li, do you think that after I report this to my family, I will still be able to take advantage of this spiritual bird?"

"Brother Li thinks that the Moon-Gazing Cang Wolf is some kind of spiritual beast. When it grows up, it can be comparable to a master of the false elixir stage. If the opportunity is sufficient, it can grow into a great master comparable to the Golden Core stage! As far as I know, in the entire Yue Kingdom, only the Zhong family of my Spiritual Beast Mountain raises a few Moon-Gazing Cang Wolfs. You can imagine how precious they are. Brother Li, you don't think that you can take this material from me with just a few words!"

Yun Hao thought it made sense after hearing what she said, so he decided to talk to her, but he still asked another question.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, if it is really a third-level monster, it is not impossible for me to take action, but I have to say this first. If it is inconsistent with what you said, don't blame me for turning around and leaving..."

Meng Yanran smiled after hearing this.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li. I know the details of this beast very well, and I won't make any mistakes."

Seeing Meng Yanran's solemn oath, and not seeming to be lying, Yun Hao spoke in confusion.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Meng has already come into contact with this monster?"

Meng Yanran nodded lightly when she heard this.

"Yes, I have tried to capture this spiritual beast once some time ago, but I was alone and was no match for this spiritual bird, so I failed to capture it!"

Yun Hao was surprised and asked again out of curiosity.

"Oh! Fellow Daoist Meng, who has reached the late stage of foundation building, has not been able to defeat this monster? That's really tricky..."

Meng Yanran held her forehead with one hand and explained with a wry smile.

"This spiritual bird is an ancient species, and it seems to have a trace of true spiritual blood in its body. Although it is only a third-level spiritual bird, its strength is only lower than that of a fifth-level demon beast. It is able to fight across levels. My spiritual beast, the Moon-gazing Wolf, also died under the claws of this bird. If not for this, why would I ask Fellow Daoist Li for help?"

The more Yun Hao listened, the more frightened he became.

"I wonder what kind of species this monster is, and what kind of magical powers it has!"

When Meng Yanran heard Yun Hao ask this, she opened her red lips slightly and began to speak.

"Even if Brother Li Daoist doesn't ask, I will still tell Brother Li about the situation of this spiritual bird."

"This spiritual bird is called the Seven-Colored Bird. It is proficient in escaping and a magical power called the Seven-Colored Dazzling Light! I was not prepared for the Seven-Colored Dazzling Light of this bird last time. I had no choice but to use the spiritual beast, the Moon-Watching Wolf, to block it for a while. Only then did I escape from the claws of this bird. Otherwise, Fellow Daoist Li would not be able to see me now!"

Yun Hao was quite touched after hearing this. He didn't expect that Meng Yanran, who was in the late stage of foundation building, and a level 2 Moon-Watching Wolf together were no match for this bird.

"Friend Meng, since this bird is so difficult to deal with, can the two of us capture it alone?"

Meng Yanran smiled when she heard this.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li! I have already prepared a set of formations. Under the siege of the formation, the two of us will definitely be able to capture this spiritual bird. The main problem with this spiritual bird is that it is too fast..."

Yun Hao felt relieved after hearing this. Although he was confident that with the help of many treasures, his strength was not inferior to those in the late stage of foundation building, he was naturally reluctant to do anything too risky.

"Fellow Daoist Meng, if that's the case, then I will follow you on this journey, but what about the reward?"

Meng Yanran was overjoyed when she heard this and made repeated assurances.

"Brother Li, rest assured. As long as you help me subdue this spiritual bird, I will naturally offer you what you need with both hands!"

Yun Hao narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"Well, I wonder when Brother Meng is going to set off, and where is this spiritual bird?"

When Meng Yanran heard Yun Hao ask this, she began to explain to Yun Hao.

"It will take two months. I need to prepare a magical instrument to capture this spiritual bird. As for the location, does Brother Li know the Caixia Mountains?"

Yun Hao looked strange when he heard this.

“But is it the Caixia Mountain Range, also known as the Caixia Mountain?”

Meng Yanran stared at Yun Hao and spoke calmly.

"Brother Li really knows! The place where this spiritual bird is located is on the edge of the Wanshou Mountain Range and the Caixia Mountain Range."

Yun Hao pondered for a moment and spoke helplessly.

"I only know that there is a legend about that place. It is said that in ancient times, a phoenix fell here. But I think it must be a false rumor. You know, the real dragon and phoenix are real spirits in the world. How could they appear in our human world?"

Meng Yanran also echoed in agreement.

"Brother Li is right. I guess these are just rumors!"

Yun Hao nodded and then touched his chin.

"Friend Meng, since it will take another two months, I will wait for two months at the Yuelai Inn in the Lingshou Mountain Market. We will meet at the Yuelai Inn then."

Meng Yanran smiled sweetly, then gave a gentle greeting.

"Okay, see you in two months. I'll go make some preparations as well."

Yun Hao clasped his fists upon hearing this.

"Friend Meng, since it's settled, I'll take my leave now!"

Then Yun Hao turned around and left Zhong’s grocery store.

Yun Hao left Zhong’s grocery store and went to the remaining Cai’s grocery store.

As soon as he entered, a middle-aged man with a broad mouth and square nose in the early stage of foundation building came forward and greeted him with a fist.

"My name is Cai Mao. What would this Taoist friend like to order?"

Seeing this, Yun Hao returned the hug.

"My name is Li Feiyu. I came to your shop to see if there are any elixirs that are suitable for me!"

The middle-aged man frowned and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are joking. The elixir of the middle stage of foundation building is very precious. Although our Cai family has some, we will not sell them!"

Yun Hao didn't have much hope for the elixir in the first place, so he didn't show any disappointment.

"Does your store have any recipes for elixirs for raising spirit insects and spirit beasts?"

Awkward middle-aged man's nose.

"The store doesn't have what you need!"

Yun Hao shook his head in disappointment when he heard this, and then left Cai’s grocery store.

Yun Hao walked all the way to Yuelai Inn which he had just passed by.

Yun Hao walked straight into the inn.

"Are you staying at the hotel?"

As soon as Yun Hao entered the door, he saw a little girl dozing off behind the counter.

Yun Hao walked up to the counter and knocked on it with his hands.

“So and so…”

The little girl was startled when she heard the voice and screamed.

Yun Hao saw this and said with a smile

"How many spirit stones do I need to stay in the hotel for three months?"

The little girl rubbed her sleepy eyes first, then saw Yun Hao standing in front of the counter, and then said politely.

"Senior, the rooms are divided into three grades. The upper grade room costs thirty spirit stones a month; the middle grade room costs ten spirit stones a month; the lower grade room costs three spirit stones a month. Which grade of room do you want to stay in, senior?"

Yun Hao asked in confusion.

"What are the differences between the three levels of rooms?"

The little girl began to explain after hearing this.

"Senior, the upper-class rooms have mid-level spirit gathering arrays, the middle-level rooms have low-level spirit gathering arrays, and the lower-class rooms have no arrays either, they are only for living!"

Yun Hao touched the storage bag, took out ninety spirit stones and placed them on the counter.

"Then I'll choose a superior room."

The little girl swept her spiritual sense over the spirit stones on the counter, and when she saw that the number matched, she slapped her storage bag, took out a token with "天" engraved on the front and "七" engraved on the back, and respectfully handed it to Yun Hao with both hands.

"This is the prohibition token for Room 7 of Tianzi. Please keep it well, senior."

Yun Hao nodded and took the restriction token handed over by the little girl.

Then the girl took Yun Hao to the second floor, and only bowed and retreated after sending Yun Hao to the room number 7 engraved with the word "Tian".

As soon as Yun Hao walked into the room, he saw that it was luxuriously decorated.

"In that room, there was a huge carved mahogany bed, with a gold-threaded jade belt inlaid on the headboard and a brocade quilt on the mattress, which looked extremely gorgeous. The walls around the room were made of white jade, and the glittering luster made the whole room sparkle. On the ceiling of the room hung exquisite crystal chandeliers, and each crystal sparkled with dazzling light. In the center of the room was a huge rosewood marble table, on which were placed exquisite porcelain and silverware, giving people a palace atmosphere."

After taking a look, Yun Hao walked to the bed and sat cross-legged to practice.

Just like that, two months passed in a flash.

That day, Meng Yanran came to the Lingshou Mountain Market again wearing a red silk shirt, and then found Yuelai Inn.

As soon as he walked in, he asked the inn maid about Yun Hao's living room.

At first, the maid couldn't figure out who the senior was looking for.

After Meng Yanran used her magic power to outline Yun Hao's appearance, the maid suddenly realized.

Then the maid took Meng Yanran to the room where Yun Hao lived, and then bowed respectfully to Meng Yanran.

"Senior, I can only take you here."

Meng Yanran was very satisfied as she took out two spirit stones and handed them to the maid and spoke.

"You are very good!"

The maid was overjoyed when she saw this, and she thanked him repeatedly while taking the spirit stone.

"Thank you for giving me the spirit stone. I will not disturb you and the guests inside."

The maid said this and retreated with great foresight.

Seeing this, Meng Yanran took out another sound transmission talisman, muttered a few words to it, and then inserted the talisman into the formation restriction.

In an instant, the sound transmission note turned into a firebird and flew into the restriction.

Yun Hao, who was meditating and practicing, suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the formation. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a firebird flying towards him.

When the firebird flew close to him, Yun Hao raised his hand and the firebird disappeared into his palm, then he gently pinched it.

"Friend Li Daoist, I, Meng Yanran, am here to place the order..."

Yun Hao calculated that it was almost two months, so he stood up and stretched his body, then took out the token and waved it in front of the ban.

Then, a hole about ten feet in size appeared in the formation restriction at the door.

Meng Yanran, who was outside the door, saw this and walked in without hesitation.

"Brother Li, you have been having a good time these past two months!"

Yun Hao's eyes lit up when he saw Meng Yanran's dress. This woman had a good appearance to begin with, and the red silk shirt that half-covered her body was so alluring that Yun Hao was a little dazed.

"cluck"

Meng Yanran covered her mouth and laughed.

After hearing this, Yun Hao came back to his senses silently, then touched his nose and said awkwardly.

"I'm sorry for being rude. It's mainly because Fellow Daoist Meng is so beautiful that I can't help but fall deeply in love with her."

Meng Yanran sighed when she heard this, as if it brought back some bad memories.

"Although I am beautiful, I am childless!"

Yun Hao was stunned, knowing that Meng Yanran was thinking about the family status again, so he didn't dwell on it any further, but changed the subject and asked.

"How are your preparations going, Fellow Daoist Meng? Can we set off now? I have been out for several months, so I want to finish this matter as soon as possible and go back to practice."

When Meng Yanran saw Yun Hao took the initiative to mention this matter, her depressed mood disappeared and she forced herself to cheer up.

"Brother Li, I am ready. We can set off to where the spiritual bird is at any time."

Yun Hao was delighted when he heard this: "I don't have anything to prepare here. As long as Fellow Daoist Meng thinks it's appropriate, we can set off now!"

Meng Yanran didn't want to delay after hearing that, so she extended her hand as an invitation.

"Well, Brother Li! Let's go catch that magical bird now..."

Then the two of them walked out of Yuelai Inn together and headed towards the Lingshou Mountain Market.

Just as they walked out, two women appeared on the street nearby. One had an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and was wearing an emerald green palace skirt; the other had an oval face, small lips, fair skin with a rosy glow, and was wearing a milky white dress.

The woman from the Emerald Palace group spoke to someone next to her, and while speaking, she raised her hand and pointed at Yun Hao and Meng Yanran.

"Sister, look at that woman, isn't she that bitch Meng Yanran?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in milky white clothes turned her head and looked towards Yun Hao.

"It does look like that bitch, but who is the man next to her?"

The woman in the emerald green palace dress sneered and spoke.

"Humph! He pretends to be so noble every day, but he still keeps a mistress outside just like us..."

The woman in the milky white shirt pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Sister, should we follow her and take a look? Otherwise, she will keep nagging about those trivial things. Last time, the master almost found out!"

The woman in the emerald green palace skirt nodded when she heard this.

"Let's go and follow her to see what else she has to say. But we have to be careful. This bitch has a high level of cultivation. The two of us are only in the middle stage of foundation building, and our spiritual consciousness is not as strong as hers."

The woman in cream-colored clothes agreed.

"Then we should just stay away from each other and not get too close..."

The woman in the emerald green palace dress disdainfully spoke.

"Don't be too nervous. If we use our combined attack technique, there will be no opponent below the Golden Core level."

The woman in the milky white clothes still tried to comfort him.

"It's better to be careful then."

……

Yun Hao and Meng Yanran quickly left the Lingshou Mountain Market.

Meng Yanran released a flying boat. Seeing this, Yun Hao jumped onto the flying boat without hesitation. Then Meng Yanran steered the flying boat towards the Caixia Mountains in the northeast.

When the two beautiful women behind them saw this, the woman in the emerald green palace skirt spoke to her sister next to her.

"Chase her, don't lose her, or she will deny it later."

The woman in milky white clothes nodded, patted her storage bag and took out a silk handkerchief as a magic weapon.

"Sister, to avoid being discovered, you should use my sister's cloud silk handkerchief!"

The woman in the emerald green palace skirt nodded.

"That's good, my sister's cloud silk scarf can be used to cover up!"

Yun Hao and Meng Yanran in front went towards their destination without knowing anything.

After a while, the two arrived at the place Meng Yanran mentioned.

I saw that this was a valley filled with colorful lights.

"Brother Li, the seven-colored bird is in this valley..."
