Zhang Ruochen knew that Martial Saint Canglan wanted to fight him to extrapolate where he came from by observing his moves.
“Now is not the time to compete with each other. We’ll have many more chances later.”
Zhang Ruochen then turned around and walked toward the herb garden.
Martial Saint Canglan caught up with Zhang Ruochen and walked beside him. “I have another thing. Lend me Zhu Qingyi, and I’ll grant you anything you want.”
“No.”
Zhang Ruochen refused without hesitation.
Martial Saint Canglan was confused. She said, “It’s no good for you to keep Zhu Qingyi around. Immortal vampires will definitely send lots of great beings to save her, and the human monks who have strong grudges against her will also want to trade her life for refining resources. Your cultivation is definitely not enough to keep her. Instead, you might bite the dust in the end. Leave her to me, then I’ll owe you a favor.”
Zhang Ruochen stopped walking and shot a stare at her. He said, “Is your favor really worthy?”
“Of course it is.”
Martial Saint Canglan’s eyes gleamed, and she smiled confidently. She looked like a real phoenix.
Zhang Ruochen suddenly looked serious and said, “You already owe me two favors. How are you going to pay me back?”
Martial Saint Canglan was dazed, and then, she said with a complicated look on her face, “I didn’t expect you to be this petty. You owe me one also, don’t you? If it weren’t for me, you would’ve made yourself the enemy of Martial Market Bank.”
“If it weren’t for you, that leader of Northern Region Saint Academy would be dead now,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Martial Saint Canglan was rendered speechless.
The six female saints who were following them all looked at each other, and some of them were even gloating. This was the first time someone had argued against the great Martial Saint so fiercely.
Zhang Ruochen stopped and said, “Why are you still following me?”
Martial Saint Canglan stroked her fiery and s.h.i.+ning hair, raised her chin and looked at a formation chain that was connecting the sky and land. She said, “Wuyuan Island is extremely dangerous, and there’re countless hazards around. We should team up with each other, then we can fight the three heaven pa.s.s blood generals with ease.”
Zhang Ruochen was a bit curious. “The great beings from the Ministry of War still haven’t arrived?”
“They should be on their way now, but I heard that lots of great beings from the immortal vampire race are coming as well, so the prospects are not all bright. The most updated news is that there seems to be a huge secret in Xianji Mountain,” Martial Saint Canglan said.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why did you and the six female saints come here? For Thousand Leaves Saint Core Gra.s.s?”
“That’s right. Rumor has it that Thousand Leaves Saint Core Gra.s.s is the main ingredient to make saint pills. We can’t let the immortal vampires have it, no matter whether the rumor is true or not.”
Martial Saint Canglan continued, “Besides, the more dangerous a place is, the better it can sharpen a monk’s willpower. If I only take saint pills, I’ll not be able to make it to heaven pa.s.s realm. I need training and fighting where I can comprehend saint way rules. I need a turning point. If I keep staying in a safe and peaceful place, I’ll get numb, and then I won’t be able to comprehend higher-level saint way rules no matter how many refining resources I have.”
She needed changes.
Even Buddha monks who always stayed in the mountains would choose to step into the mortal world for improvements.
As for martial monks, they would choose to fight someone at their level.
As for Martial Saint Canglan, she had obviously run into the same situation, which was why she chose to come to Xianji Mountain herself.
She was here not just for the ingredients for saint pills, but also for her own breakthrough.
Twelve White Feather Saints also had the same goal. They didn’t want to stay in the same place. Instead, they wanted to break the shackles and reach a higher level, and death might become them.
“We can definitely form an alliance since we’re on such good terms,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Wuyuan Island wasn’t a large place. They might run into the heaven pa.s.s blood generals at any time. He and Qing Mo weren’t strong enough to fight them, so it was a great choice to form an alliance with Martial Saint Canglan.
Zhang Ruochen walked out of the illusion tree forest with Martial Saint Canglan and the six female saints. However, they didn’t see Qing Mo after they came to the garden.
Did something happen?
“My lord.”
He heard the sound of Qing Mo.
And then, a blue vine winding the fence started to shrink and became a slim young girl. It was Qing Mo, who was a bit timid.
Zhu Qingyi, who had pa.s.sed out, was originally enveloped inside the blue vine, but now, she was held by Qing Mo.
Qing Mo rolled her eyes and whispered, “A couple of great beings at the state of saint came here before. I didn’t fight them by myself, so I camouflaged myself instead. You won’t blame me, will you?”
“Why would I blame you?” Zhang Ruochen smiled.
