Chapter 262 I'm ugly? Are you greedy for my body?
Three months later, Wuzhou, Cangyue City.
Zhao Mu sat down in a tavern to rest, his face full of speechlessness.
Old Man Qi, this unreliable guy, said nice things to him and took him to find the spiritual refining method, but in the end, not only did he not reveal any information on the way, he even left him and disappeared without a trace after entering Wuzhou.
He just told him to go to Cangyue City, and he would know everything after he got there.
In desperation, Zhao Mu could only come here according to the old man's instructions.
"Why are there more and more people coming to Cangyue City these days?"
"Don't you know? In three days, the only top-tier power in Wuzhou, Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, will be recruiting disciples."
"Hunyuan Taiqing Palace is recruiting disciples... No wonder so many people are coming."
"Brother, brother, does Hunyuan Taiqing Palace have high requirements for recruiting disciples? I also want to try my luck."
"Hunyuan Taiqing Palace is different from other top-tier forces. They don't have any age or talent requirements for recruiting disciples. As long as you can climb the ninety-nine steps outside the mountain gate, even a mortal can become a disciple."
"A mortal can also join? This is a top-notch force, how is this possible!"
"Three thousand years ago, there was a mortal in Cangyue City who entered the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace. It is said that he is now a figure at the level of an ancestor."
"..."
Listening to the idle chatter of people around him, Zhao Mu guessed that the soul refining technique chosen for him by Old Man Qi was probably in this Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.
only....
He was a little puzzled. Hunyuan Taiqing Palace was not a taboo that could not be mentioned. Why was this old man being so secretive? Why not just say it directly?
and many more....
Zhao Mu suddenly thought of the purple gold jade box that Old Man Qi had stuffed into his hand before leaving. It contained a pill of unknown grade made with the seven-colored Earth Nether Ganoderma as the main ingredient.
"Could it be that there really is an old lover in this Hunyuan Taiqing Palace that Old Man Qi dares not meet?"
Zhao Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and the expression on his face suddenly became interesting. "Tsk tsk, if that's true, then it's interesting!"
hum!
Old man Qi, it all depends on whether I cheat you or not.
You have to pay for what you have done. He still remembers the incident with the Yan family. This old man is such a scoundrel.
Just as Zhao Mu was pondering how to better trick Old Man Qi, he suddenly heard a loud noise.
Looking up, I saw a man in a green-brown robe entering the tavern. He had a jade pendant hanging around his waist, swinging back and forth, attracting a lot of attention, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't notice it.
"Brother, are you a disciple of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace?"
"Is he really a senior brother from Hunyuan Taiqing Palace?"
"Brother, Brother, could you please reveal a few tips on how to pass the test? We will definitely reward you handsomely."
"That's right, that's right. Look, Senior Brother, I have a third-grade snapdragon here."
"I have two mid-grade spirit stones!"
“I…”
A group of people were chattering around a man in a green-brown robe. The man did not show any annoyance. Instead, he smiled and walked into the tavern and sat down surrounded by the crowd.
I accepted all kinds of gifts reluctantly.
Then, he began to teach everyone how to pass the test.
Finally, he said: Everyone, this is just my personal experience and may not be suitable for everyone. Otherwise, the assessment of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace will become a decoration.
A group of people expressed their understanding.
Looking at these scenes, Zhao Mu couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Isn't this just a pure act of getting something for nothing and deceiving idiots? But these guys happily sent the people away, thinking they had made a fortune.
Silly?
It is indeed quite stupid, but on second thought, for this group of people, this is an opportunity to make a big leap forward. Even if they are really cheated, they are willing to do it.
Just at this moment, Zhao Mu noticed a woman sitting down on the other side of the Eight Immortals Table.
"Brother, what are you laughing at? And why didn't you do what they did, giving gifts and listening to the secrets to passing the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace exam?"
The woman's voice was clear yet a little heavy. Zhao Mu raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her.
She is tall, with a delicate face and a heroic look. A high ponytail hangs behind her and flutters gently in the wind, making her look like a female general riding a warhorse.
At this moment, the 'female general' was pouring herself a bowl of wine in a familiar manner. Um... it was the wine bought by Zhao Mu.
Is she pretty? She is indeed very pretty. It should be said that among all women who have embarked on the path of cultivation, there are almost no ugly ones. Of course, she is definitely not as stunning as the Little Rich Woman and the Dummy Senior Sister. At most, she is a little prettier than Xiao Qi.
"Didn't fellow Daoist go there too?"
After taking a look, Zhao Mu asked back with a smile.
"I'm not stupid. You're just a bunch of fools who have been tricked. If the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace's assessment can be passed in this way, then it wouldn't be a top-notch force. This is simply stupid.
But this Hunyuan Taiqing Palace is also very shameless. They actually condone their disciples to do such behavior. It's simply... Hmm? Brother Dao, why are you staring at me like this? Am I too ugly?
Zhao Mu smiled and shook his head.
"That's because I'm pretty. Brother Dao is attracted to me and wants my body?"
"..."
Zhao Mu's smile froze instantly, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Are you always so outspoken when talking to others?"
"You're not greedy for my body? Then you blame me for drinking your wine. It's just a bowl of wine, right? I'll buy you a jar in return. Waiter, bring out your most expensive wine."
The woman waved her hand carelessly, and the waiter in the tavern immediately brought a jar of wine with a smile on his face. I don’t know if he was afraid that the woman would change her mind, but as soon as the wine was served on the table, he immediately opened the seal of the jar, and the aroma of wine immediately spread in the air.
"Come on, brother, drink!"
The woman completely ignored Zhao Mu's reaction. She poured a bowl of wine for the latter and drank it herself as a toast.
Zhao Mu was a little amused and helpless. He had never met a woman like this before.
but....
He still drank the wine poured by the woman. Even now, he didn't know who she was or what her name was.
But, based on her straightforwardness, he was willing to have a drink with this "female general" and maybe even... make friends with her.
"Yanzhou, Majiabao, Yan Hongling, I wonder what your name is, brother?"
"Zhao Mu."
"Brother Zhao, you must be very curious why I suddenly sat down to drink your wine."
"A little bit, indeed."
"It's actually very simple. Since I came to Cangyue City, I've seen more than one incident like what just happened. So far, you're the only smart person who didn't rush to act like a fool and even laughed at the sidelines."
Yan Hongling smiled and said, "I just like making friends with smart people."
Zhao Mu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
This reason is incredibly simple and indeed invincible.
As the conversation progressed, they both discovered that they got along very well with each other, and their relationship evolved from casual acquaintances to friends.
Even two days later, the two of them embarked on a journey together to the mountain gate of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.
