Chapter 338: Chapter 307 Life Stone_1
Xu Mu followed the direction given by the Black YuanYing, and a white stone caught his eye. The stone was only the size of a palm, with a smooth surface like a pebble by a river. Other than its slightly white color, there was nothing unusual about it.
A green light screen enveloped the white stone, a Formation set up around it.
“I didn’t expect you to find it so easily, kid. You’ve got some good luck!” the Black YuanYing exclaimed.
He hadn’t hoped for much initially, considering the time that had passed, but he hadn’t expected to find it so easily.
Xu Mu glanced at the Life Stone and averted his gaze without picking it up right away.
He continued to stroll along with the elder from the Beihan Immortal Palace, taking his time to stop and observe now and then.
“Why aren’t you… Oh! I see!”
The Black YuanYing instantly understood Xu Mu’s rationale.
Displaying too much eagerness might attract the attention of the Elder from the Beihan Immortal Palace.
After wandering around, Xu Mu hesitated for a moment before choosing the Life Stone.
“Friend, do you recognize this object?”
Seeing Xu Mu choose the Life Stone, the elder’s eyes flickered. He asked inquisitively with a smile.
“No, I just felt a sort of affinity towards it,” Xu Mu replied.
“Oh!”
The elder didn’t say much else and handed over the Life Stone to Xu Mu.
“I hope you make good use of it, friend.”
“Certainly!”
Things were going surprisingly smoothly.
The moment Xu Mu received the Life Stone and gently caressed it twice, he suddenly released his Spiritual Power and punched the Elder from the Beihan Immortal Palace, sending him flying.
“…”
The Black YuanYing inside Xu Mu was completely stunned.
Are you insane?
Do you think things are going too smoothly so you decided to cause some trouble?
Xu Mu didn’t explain, he transformed into an Escape Light and fled speeding towards the outside.
The disciples guarding outside failed to stop Xu Mu, and he swiftly broke through their encirclement and rushed out the mountain gate.
“What the hell is going on? Why did you suddenly lose your mind?” the Black YuanYing asked, perplexed.
The Beihan Immortal Palace is not a small sect. Act so recklessly and you’ll certainly attract big troubles. He didn’t want to die!
Xu Mu remained silent, putting the Life Stone into the God Refining Tripod. He then released a clone to fly south, while he himself vanished into the ground.
His reaction and actions happened in a flash. By the time the Black YuanYing recovered from the surprise, he felt a strong Divine Intent spreading out from within the Beihan Immortal Palace, followed by a white Escape Light chasing rapidly after the clone.
“Why has a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator been dispatched?!!” The Black YuanYing cried out in shock.
Items that could be exchanged for a thousand-year-old Snow Lotus should theoretically be unappealing to Golden Core Stage cultivators.
Although Xu Mu’s actions were reckless, he did not demonstrate overwhelming strength. The Beihan Immortal Palace sending a few Golden Core Stage cultivators to pursue him would have been more than generous.
But a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was dispatched just after the incident, almost as if they were on standby.
“You’ll understand once you see it for yourself.”
Xu Mu sent the Life Stone to the Black YuanYing.
The Black YuanYing immediately sensed the remnant aura of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from it.
“Could it be…”
“This Life Stone was a bait!” Xu Mu stated coolly.
