Chapter 193 Vientiane Desert
After Man Huzi sat down, he looked at Yun Hao and Xin Ruyin in surprise and asked.

"My two friends, why do you want to take the path of body training? This path is very difficult to take..."

That’s right, it is extremely difficult for a cultivator to complete the path of body refining in the human world. Even in the entire Chaos Star Sea, Yun Hao only knew of one cultivator, Man Huzi, who had achieved success in body refining.

At this time.

The old man in Confucian attire on another jade pillar spoke to the barbarian with a smile on his face.

"Brother Man, you came so late this time that I thought you had changed your mind and didn't plan to come to Xutian Palace!"

Man Huzi wiped his slightly yellow beard on his chin and said with a grin.

"How is it possible that you won't come?"

"I was counting on the stuff in the Xutian Palace to refine the elixir of immortality!"

"It's just that I was delayed for a while on the way. I'm really surprised that Wan Tianming would come here this time!"

"Could it be that Wan Tianming also knew that the longevity fruit had reached maturity and wanted to pick some?"

The old man in Confucian attire was also confused after hearing what Man Huzi said.

He tapped his palms lightly with the bamboo slips in his hands, thought for a while and said.

"I'm not sure about this Qing!"

"However, in addition to this item, there are many rare treasures in the Xutian Palace. After all, the Xutian Palace is only opened once every three hundred years. Who knows what the other party is going for this time."

The old demon Ji Yin, who was standing by, heard what the green-robed hermit and the barbarian man said, and his eyes rolled around as if he had thought of something.

So he spoke with a hint of meaning.

"You said that Wan Tianming is one of the most outstanding leaders among the righteous cultivators."

"Could he be planning on taking the Xu Tian Ding?"

Without waiting for Man Huzi to respond to his words.

Mr. Qing Yi, who was dressed in Confucian clothes, shook his head like a drum.

"Xu Tian Ding... This shouldn't be possible!"

"This item has been in the Chaos Star Sea for thousands of years. If it was really that easy to get, it would have been taken away by the masters in the past. How could it be their turn?"

When the old demon Ji Yin heard this, he seemed to have thought of something. He looked worried and spoke in confusion.

"That's not necessarily true!"

"I heard that a few years ago, the Wan Sect Master had his disciples search everywhere for the whereabouts of the 'Golden Silkworm', but then, for some reason, there was no news of him anymore."

"I don't know if they have found it yet."

"If they find it, with the help of this strange insect, maybe this Wan Sect Master might really want to take the Xu Tian Ding during this trip."

The three Nascent Soul cultivators from the righteous path were sitting cross-legged on the pillars, seemingly not noticing their conversation at all.

"Humph!"

Man Huzi glanced at Ji Yin Old Demon with his eyes slanted, snorted coldly and said rudely.

"It's not just Wan Tianming who might have golden silkworms. Didn't you, Ji Yin, also get two exotic fire pythons on Lihuo Island?"

"I'm afraid that you, Ji Yin, are here this time, most likely for the Xu Tian Ding..."

He seemed to be quite disdainful of the sneaky behavior of the old demon Ji Yin.

After hearing what Man Huzi said, the expression of the old demon Ji Yin suddenly changed several times, but he was cursing in his heart.

Needless to say, one of his trusted friends must have leaked the news, so the other party got the news.

However, after he thought about it carefully, his expression returned to normal.

At the same time he thought secretly in his heart.

"I'm afraid that Man Huzi's visit to Xutian Palace this time to take the Longevity Fruit is probably just a side trip. The real purpose is to monitor me taking the treasure!"

Even though he was very upset, the old demon Ji Yin was stunned for a moment, but he said without changing his expression.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Brother Man."

"This time, Wu did bring two exotic fire pythons with him."

"However, I have only been able to subdue these two alien fire pythons for a short time, and their cultivation is still very shallow. The hope of success is very slim, so I still need Brother Man and Brother Qing to help me."

The old Confucian scholar Qing Yi was moved, but asked with some hesitation.

"help you?"

"What good will this do to me and my brother?"

After hearing what Qing Yi Jushi said, the old demon Ji Yin showed an evil smile on his face, and immediately stopped speaking and turned to voice transmission.

"According to the information left by the master of Xutian Palace."

"There should be many top-level ancient treasures and Bu Tian Dan left behind by ancient cultivators in the Xu Tian Ding."

"In addition to the Xutian Ding, I only need one pill of the Bu Tian Dan. How about the other treasures be divided equally between the two brothers?"

A glimmer of greed flashed in the old Confucian scholar's eyes, but after a brief thought, he felt somewhat resigned.

So he glanced at the barbarian bearded man on the jade pillar on Yun Hao's side and replied in voice transmission.

"I have no problem with that, but it depends on what Brother Man thinks."

"After all, if it weren't for Brother Man holding back Wan Tianming of the Wanfa Sect, I would never take this risk."

When the old demon Ji Yin heard Qing Yi say this, there was no surprise on his face.

This old man in Confucian attire, who calls himself "Mr. Qing Yi", is actually a very cunning old fox.

If he hadn't brought along Man Huzi, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he probably would never have agreed to something that was so uncertain.

So the old demon Ji Yin turned around and looked at Man Hu Zi again, conveyed his conditions to him with a smile, and then asked.

"I wonder what Brother Man thinks of my proposal. Are you interested in exploring the treasures in the Xutian Ding together?"

"Brother Man should also be very clear that there is almost no elixir in the world of immortal cultivation that can improve the five elements of a person's spiritual roots. Maybe after taking this heaven-replenishing elixir, Brother Man's power will be greatly improved and he may break through the bottleneck of the late Nascent Soul stage."

Upon hearing this, Man Huzi snorted coldly and said sarcastically without any hesitation.

"Humph! You want to attract the attention of Xu Tian Ding with just two alien fire pythons..."

"I think your brains have been damaged during your training! In those days, countless Nascent Soul cultivators entered the inner hall, but all of them returned empty-handed in the end."

"Do you think it's worth taking this risk? Is there any hope of success?"

"You should know that the danger level of the inner hall is completely different from that of the outer hall."

“Even if we have achieved Nascent Soul stage, we may not be able to escape unscathed after entering. In the past times when Xutian Palace was opened, more than one or two Nascent Soul stage cultivators were annihilated in the inner hall.”

The barbarian man kept talking in a loud and loud voice.

The old demon Ji Yin didn't care much after hearing this. Instead of giving up, he said calmly.

"Don't worry about this, Brother Man."

"I just want to ask Brother Man, if Wan Tianming and his gang really want to take the Xu Tian Ding, Brother Man really doesn't want to go in and take a look..."

The sneer on Man Huzi's face gradually disappeared after Ji Yin Old Demon asked this question. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly spoke.

“If this Wan Sect Master really enters the inner hall and sets his sights on the Xutian Cauldron, I will naturally follow him even without you telling me.”

"After all, even if we in the Demonic Path cannot obtain the Void Heaven Cauldron, we cannot let the righteous people possess it."

He said this with great certainty, as if to imply that if he couldn't get it, no one else could either.

After hearing Man Huzi's confident words, the old demon Ji Yin chuckled and said.

"Haha, it's enough to have Brother Man say this. As long as Brother Man is willing to help, my previous proposal will naturally be counted as a share of Brother Man's. "

After saying this, he turned his head slightly, looked at Mrs. Wen who had been indifferent, and spoke.

"Of course, if Madam Wen is willing to lend a helping hand, I will be even more welcome. Madam Wen will definitely be counted as one of theirs at that time."

When the beautiful woman heard the conditions of the old demon Ji Yin, he actually wanted to involve herself, so she refused coldly without thinking.

"I came to Xutian Palace this time to pick some spiritual herbs to take back, so I don't plan to go too deep."

Yun Hao sat next to Man Huzi and took in the whole scene.

Although he only heard a rough outline of what was said, and part of their conversation was transmitted through voice, he had read the original work and was able to make a pretty good guess in his mind.

Just as several Yuanying monsters from the evil sect were discussing, the three people from the righteous sect opposite them also looked at them with unfriendly eyes from time to time.

The three of them sometimes lowered their heads in deep thought, and sometimes moved their lips, obviously discussing something.

Yun Hao saw this and thought to himself.

"Let's discuss it! It would be best if we fight till our heads are broken and bloody, and it would be better if we kill a few more of them."

Only when these old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage of both the righteous and evil paths are entangled with each other can he take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters.

Just as Yun Hao was thinking about how to make them more hostile.

There was a flash of figures outside the hall, and four figures in white walked in.

Among them were two young men in white and two old men in white.

The four of them had fluttering robes, and they looked like gods.

When Yun Hao saw the four people, he couldn't help but get slightly excited.

Meng Yanran on the side almost stood up. Seeing this, Yun Hao put his big hand on Meng Yanran's thigh as she was about to stand up and defecate.

Meng Yanran was about to ask a question when she saw Xin Ruyin on the other side shaking her head slightly without saying anything.

At the same time, Man Huzi also looked towards Meng Yanran with a puzzled look.

Yun Hao sensed Man Huzi's gaze, and pulled Meng Yanran into his arms, stroking her eyes with his big hands.

Upon seeing this, Man Huzi immediately burst into laughter.

"My friend is indeed a man of temperament..."

Man Huzi's sudden smile attracted the attention of many monks in the hall.

This made many cultivators even more envious of Yun Hao.

This man is not only related to Man Huzi, but also has two beauties accompanying him.

How is it possible not to be envious?

Monks are not emotionless machines, they also have their own desires.

After looking at Yun Hao and the other two for a few seconds, the cultivators in the hall turned their gaze to the four people who came in. Their eyes were all fixed on them, but then their faces showed understanding and respect.

Among the four, the two young men were Meng Tianqi and Han Mengyao, and the other two old men were the two Nascent Soul elders of the Xing Palace.

Just after Meng Tianqi and Han Mengyao appeared, several Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and evil paths turned their eyes to them, and ignored the two Nascent Soul elders behind them.

Barbarian Beard grinned.

"The Xing Palace is really willing to send out the two young palace masters. Aren't the Twin Saints of Tianxing afraid that they will die in Xutian Palace?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of several Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and evil paths lit up at the same time. Even Madam Wen, who seemed indifferent to everything, widened her eyes slightly.

"Yeah……"

Two "thump" sounds.

Two white-robed elders from the Star Palace stood out from behind Meng Tianqi and Han Mengyao.

When several Nascent Soul cultivators from both the righteous and evil paths saw the two of them, they revealed extremely complicated expressions.

As soon as the two stood out, they saw that everyone was looking at them. They smiled slightly and spoke in a very amiable manner.

"During this trip to Xutian Palace, our two Saint Masters are in retreat, so they are unable to preside over this treasure hunt."

"However, the two palace masters sent their disciples to represent the Star Palace to preside over this event, and the two law enforcement elders like me were here to supervise this event."

When Meng Tianqi heard one of the elders say this, he gently pulled the elder who was speaking.

Seeing this, the two old men in white took a step back and gave the stage to Meng Tianqi.

"My dear seniors and fellow Taoists, I am Meng Tianqi. The person next to me is my Taoist partner Han Mengyao, who will be hosting this trip to Xutian Palace."

"The rules for this treasure hunt are still the same as in previous years."

"Anyone who bullies the weak or wants to kill people for treasure during the treasure hunt will be stopped by my husband and I or the two law enforcement elders behind us, and will also be hunted down and killed by our Xinggong."

"However, our Xing Palace's supervision is limited to the outer hall of Xutian Palace. We will not enter the inner hall, let alone interfere in anything in the inner hall."

"So, if you feel unsure, you should stop outside the inner hall and don't go too deep."

"In addition, the four of us will not help any fellow practitioners just because the Xutian Palace is in danger. Everyone should know this."

“Even if a fellow Taoist were to die in front of us, even if he were to perish immediately, we in Xinggong would not even blink an eye.”

After Meng Tianqi finished explaining the rules, a Star Palace law enforcement elder came out and emphasized.

"Young Master has made it so clear, everyone should understand what our Xinggong means."

After saying this, the old man in white glanced at the monks in the hall again with his eyes as sharp as lightning.

Inside the hall, other monks lowered their heads and retreated when they saw his gaze coming.

Only Wan Tianming, Man Huzi and Yun Hao looked at each other directly without giving in when they saw him looking at them.

This made the old man in white startled for a moment, then frowned, and couldn't help but murmured in a low voice.

"Why are these two monsters here? And why are these two here? This is going to be a bit tricky."

The situation felt tricky because Man Huzi and Wan Tianming were both mid-Nascent Soul cultivators, and therefore their cultivation level was higher than his and the other law enforcement elder's.

Yun Hao and Meng Yanran are the father and mother of the two young palace masters.

The other law enforcement elder beside him also had a slightly changed expression when he saw this, and didn't know what to say.

Afterwards, Meng Tianqi, Han Mengyao and the two law enforcement elders from the Star Palace sat cross-legged in two rows on the left and right of the entrance to the hall, no longer paying attention to any commotion in the hall caused by the words just now.

When the other monks heard this, their faces showed different expressions, some happy, some sad.
Thus, three days passed in a very strange situation.

However, not many cultivators arrived in the past few days, only three or four new cultivators, and the one with the highest cultivation level was only a Jindan cultivator.

As time slowly passed to the morning of the fourth day, something strange happened.

After a series of roars, a white jade door fell down at the entrance of the hall without any warning, sealing the entire hall tightly.

Suddenly, there were unusual movements in the hall.

"This……"

"what happened……"

……

Only a few Nascent Soul cultivators remained unmoved.

All they saw was a white blur on the door, and it was obvious that there was a powerful restriction.

And there was a faint sound coming from the palace gate in the distance, as if it was also blocked by something.

At this point, some people in the hall couldn't help but become even more panicked.

But then these people discovered that the cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage all had calm expressions, so they felt relieved and calmed down.

At this time, the two young masters of the Star Palace and the two elders in white robes opened their eyes calmly and stood up suddenly.

Immediately, some other monks in the hall fixed their eyes on the four people. Those who knew the details showed an expression of understanding, while those who did not know the details were a little confused and puzzled.

The Yuanying stage cultivators looked at the actions of the four people with expressionless faces and did not say a word.

Meng Tianqi and Han Mengyao were seen calmly walking towards the front of the hall with two Star Palace law enforcement elders.

But before the four of them reached the place, there was a slight shaking at the end of the hall, and then a dazzling white light came out from several stone slabs on the ground.

Then, under the slightly surprised gazes of many monks in the hall, a small teleportation array about ten feet in size appeared out of thin air on the stone slab there.

With so many cultivators in the hall, no one could figure out how the teleportation array appeared there. Even Xin Ruyin, who considered herself to be highly accomplished in array formations, frowned deeply.

This surprised many self-important monks.

Meng Tianqi, Han Mengyao and the two white-robed elders of the Star Palace were not surprised by this. They walked calmly to the teleportation array. The two elders even bowed slightly and carefully examined the teleportation array on the stone slab.

After a while, the two old men in white from the Star Palace looked at each other and nodded, then spoke to Meng Tianqi and Han Mengyao.

"Okay, two young masters, there is nothing wrong with this teleportation array."

Meng Tianqi and Han Mengyao listened to the words of the two law enforcement elders. Meng Tianqi stepped forward and spoke to everyone in the hall.

"Seniors and fellow Taoists present here, there is no problem with this teleportation array. If you go through here, you will reach the outer hall of Xutian Temple. I hope everyone will take good care of themselves. When we come out, I hope to see you again."

After saying this, Meng Tianqi glanced at Yun Hao, and then took Han Mengyao and the two old men in white to step onto the teleportation array one after another.

"Whizzing……"

After four flashes of white light, the four figures disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the other monks in the hall couldn't help but look at each other.

Seeing this, Yun Hao knew what Meng Tianqi’s last look meant.

So he stood up first and spoke politely to the bearded man beside him.

"Senior Man, how about we go together..."

Man Huzi saw Yun Hao inviting him, but he had to discuss some things with Qing Yi Jushi and Ji Yin Old Demon, so he did not agree.

"If the three of you join forces, this first level will definitely not be a problem. I have something else to do, so I won't go with you."

After hearing this, Yun Hao bowed slightly to Man Huzi and said.

"Then I, the junior, will bow and go ahead."

After saying that, he strode towards the teleportation array with Xin Ruyin and Meng Yanran.

The three of them came in front of the formation, took a step forward and stepped into the formation.

"whoosh whoosh"

Three white rays of light lit up again.

Yun Hao and the other two also disappeared here.

After feeling dizzy for a while, Yun Hao and the other two found themselves in a desert.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the boundless desert looked like a yellow sea. Strong winds were blowing across the desert, and the sky and the earth were dark.

After Yun Hao woke up, he opened his eyes and looked around. He saw monotonous yellow everywhere, without even a tree. Seeing this scene, he instantly thought of something and spoke in a choked voice.

"Vientiane Desert..."
