Chapter 93: Old Friends Become Dissenters

Chu Tai, who clearly expressed that he did not want to have too much communication with Taoist Zhengyang, walked into the bamboo forest.

When Chu Tai's figure disappeared among the bamboo shadows, Taoist Mu Jing looked at Zheng Yang and said, "It's not like you to be so unreasonable."

Taoist Mu Jing knew his fellow practitioner very well. He was a bit arrogant, had a strong sense of justice, and could not tolerate any injustice.

That's why when he heard that someone was offering the land of an entire country as a sacrifice for the Dao Fruit, he rushed over in a hurry, regardless of the difference in cultivation between the two parties.

"Aren't you curious about the nature of this fellow Daoist Chu?"

Taoist Zhengyang finished speaking and whispered, "If he is a righteous person, perhaps I can exchange some of his cultivation methods from him to improve my own skills."

"The five of us were fortunate enough to obtain the fragments of the 'Taixuan Shanggong Five Emperors Subduing Demons Sutra'. We combined our own skills and evolved the 'Five Emperors Five Hua Golden Seal' from it, which upgraded our own true qi to the fifth level. Since then, I have been honing my true qi in preparation for the promotion to the fifth level."

"After so many years, I have always been just a hair's breadth away. This time I met Fellow Daoist Chu, and I think it is an opportunity. But you also know that my personality is destined to not want to owe favors to others, so I want to see the character of this Fellow Daoist Chu."

"Come on, if you want to see someone's character, do you really need to use this method? And you are still at the sixth level of cultivation. Isn't it because you like to meddle in other people's affairs that you have missed many opportunities for promotion? If you were just... never mind... none of the five of us doesn't have some problems."

Speaking of this, Taoist Mu Jing shook his head repeatedly.

"There is gain and loss, good and evil will be rewarded, maybe this time I will get a chance to go further?"

Compared to Taoist Mu Jing's helplessness, Taoist Zhengyang looked happily in the direction where Chu Tai left.

On the other side, Chu Tai, who had just entered the bamboo forest, took a few steps and saw Wu Chaoxi standing on a bamboo branch.

Looking at Chu Tai, Yaxian tilted his head and said, "You are finally back. If we wait any longer, I am worried that the Taoist Zhengyang who comes every day will find out Feifei's secret and cause unnecessary trouble."

"This is the Taoist temple of Taoist Cuihuang. How can I call myself coming back? As for Taoist Zhengyang, judging from our previous encounter, he is just a little curious. There is no big problem. Compared to this, what happened to Feifei?"

"It's OK, but the connection with the Jade Characters in the Heavenly Book is getting closer and closer, and the aura is a little hard to suppress."

Wu Chaoxi casually mentioned the situation, thought for a moment and added: "His cultivation of magical powers is quite proficient. Although he is still weak among the sixth-grade cultivators, he is not at the bottom."

"That's good. With the ability to protect myself and the protection of the magic umbrella, once the disaster of Chu State is over, I can also roam freely in the mountains and rivers."

Chu Tai's answer made Wu Chaoxi silent.

"I'm afraid this disaster will not be easy."

After hearing this, Chu Tai fell silent, then changed the subject and told Wu Chaoxi about some of his experiences during this trip.

A moment later, Feifei, who heard of Chu Tai's arrival, hurried over. Chu Tai asked him about his insights into cultivation, tested his magical powers, and boasted a few words.

Afterwards, Chu Tai taught Feifei some methods to hone his magic power, so that he could prepare well for promotion.

A few days later, Feifei's breakthrough did not encounter any changes. She refined the inheritance of Huifeng Valley safely and steadily and entered the sixth level.

Regarding this, Chu Tai, Wu Chaoxi, and Taoist Cuihuang were all very happy.

Cuihuang even picked a lot of spiritual fruits from his orchard and held a small banquet. During this process, Taoist Cuihuang also deliberately helped Taoist Zhengyang and Chu Tai communicate.

It has to be said that Taoist Zhengyang has some skills in the art of refining equipment.

Even though his method of refining weapons was limited by what he had learned and was not as good as Chu Tai's in terms of concept, he was quite experienced in the combination of many magic prohibitions, the coordination of materials, and some small techniques of refining weapons.

The relationship between Chu Tai and him gradually improved as they communicated with each other, and Taoist Mu Jing took this opportunity to interrupt their conversation.

As the fifth-rank cultivator with the highest cultivation level in the entire venue, Taoist Mu Jing was clearly intent on informing everyone of the perspective and power of a fifth-rank cultivator when he was explaining.

During the entire communication process, only Chu Tai could communicate with him normally relying on the inheritance in his hand. As a fellow practitioner, Zhengyang could only cooperate and speak. Wu Chaoxi and Cui Huang could occasionally interject a few words. Feifei was listening most of the time and might not say a word throughout the whole communication.

"Life is the root of death, and death is the root of life. Your understanding is quite mysterious..."

As the end was near, Taoist Mu Jing's eyes were shining. Having condensed the true Qi of Qinghua Cave, he was good at sensing the changes in all things.

Today, after he understood some of the mysteries of the mutual foundation of life and death from some of the insights of the predecessors of Yinjing Sect and Jinhua Sect narrated by Chu Tai, his cultivation improved slightly and he was in a good mood.

In the days that followed, Chu Tai, Taoist Mu Jing, and Taoist Zheng Yang communicated frequently, talking about everything from methods of cultivation to hobbies and interests, and some ways to deal with this disaster.

The three of them became more and more excited as they talked, and their relationship became much closer.

If Wu Chaoxi hadn't sent them news of disasters from time to time, the three of them would have wanted to find a place to practice their respective skills.

"What a shame. What a shame."

Compared to Taoist Zhengyang's love of refining tools, Taoist Mujing prefers playing the musical instrument, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his personality is also softer and more emotional than Zhengyang.

Seeing that every communication had to be stopped midway, I couldn't help but shake my head.

Taoist Zhengyang saw this and said with a smile: "Although the drought demon is powerful, I think we can deal with it with the cooperation of the five scattered people. By the way, I remember Cuihuang has a friend named Liu Peiyu. Didn't he say that he would contact other people? Why is there no news for such a long time?"

Wu Chaoxi, who was resting on Chu Tai's shoulder, sneered.

"It's not that there is no news. They took advantage of the Hanba incident to find the Chu royal family and formed an alliance with several other cultivation families. And those cultivation families seem to have found some way and invited other people to help. How can they still look down on us?"

Chu Tai, who was able to see the "fate", retorted.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, your words are biased. Although Fellow Daoist Liu is a bit utilitarian, according to the information you brought and the changes in the operation of the earth veins, these cultivation families have indeed suppressed the changes in the earth veins and reduced the birth of disaster demons."

"But it can't solve the drought. These minor repairs are of no use at all. If you really care, you should exchange information in time. Even if it's difficult to tell us everything because of interests and hidden secrets, at least you should share some not-so-secret information. If you don't say anything and don't contact us, isn't that looking down on us?"

Facing Wu Chaoxi's words, Chu Tai was not sure how to respond. While he was silent, Taoist Cuihuang came in and said to Taoist Mujing, "Brother, Taoist Fellow Mo Zhu and Taoist Fellow Chang Pu are here."

Taoist Zhengyang was stunned when he heard this: "Why are there only two of them here? Where is Cangxuan?"
