The Way of The Dao

Chapter 861 The Biggest Ones Finally Show Up! [II]

"What do you want in return for letting her go free?"

Unexpectedly, Mu Shen coldly asked Guiyan Han.

"Haha, do you think there's something about you that interests me?" Guiyan Han couldn't help but laugh hilariously.

As the leader of one of the leading forces in the capital, what thing couldn't the patriarch of the Guiyan family get?

A lone cultivator wouldn't have anything in his body worthwhile.

Although this young man was a rare genius with a talent in cultivation, he still didn't enter Guiyan Han's eyes.

"Are you sure?"

But Mu Shen looked at Guiyan Han and immediately took out a flower from his storage ring that contained only two petals covering each half, one petal violet and the other petal yellow. The stem growing from them had been split in half, as if it had two naturally separated roots.

"[Double Spirit Root Flower]!"

Surprisingly, one of the old men behind Guiyan Han couldn't help but exclaim as his eyes fell upon the spirit flower that Mu Shen had taken out.

"The [Double Spirit Root Flower]? Isn't that the spirit flower to create the Opening and Closing Pill?"

Guiyan Han's expression became confused for a moment as he saw the spiritual flower in Mu Shen's hands, thinking that there was no sense in what he saw.

The flower this boy had in his hands is the spiritual herb necessary for him to create the opening and closing pill, which is necessary for one to break through towards the Separation and Reunion realm!

How did this boy have this spiritual flower in his hands?

This flower is hard to find in the south state!

"It seems that you recognize this spiritual flower, then it will be easier!" Mu Shen narrowed his eyes and added, "I will give you this spiritual flower in exchange for Qin Xuzi's freedom!"

The Guiyan family members drew in a cold breath upon hearing Mu Shen's words.

Is this boy crazy enough? Does he not know the value of this spirit plant? Or is he too much of an idiot to give it away?

Is he really willing to exchange such a precious treasure for the freedom of a mere servant girl?

With this spiritual flower, he can increase his success in reaching the Separation and Reunion realm in the future!

Even exchanging it for the favor of some expert who needs this plant is not difficult!

"This flower should be enough to compensate for the losses of the Guiyan family's buildings in addition to Qin Xuzi's freedom, right?" Mu Shen looked at the old man behind Guiyan Han who had first recognized this spiritual plant, and then returned his gaze to Guiyan Han.

Although he destroyed some buildings at the entrance of this place, Mu Shen knew that the value of this spiritual flower was much more than all of this. After all, the value of this spiritual flower guaranteed the creation of a supreme expert, a cultivator in the Separation and Reunion realm!

Such a treasure would not be easily rejected, especially if you are only hoping to find this spiritual flower.

But even if he only got Qin Xuzi's freedom, he would not hesitate to exchange it.

What he had learned from Ling Tian long ago he still remembered. Mu Shen was sure that Ling Tian would do the same if he was in his place and his strength was not enough; protecting and caring for his loved ones was foremost, and other ways to get a new spiritual plant to break through when the time came would already appear.

"Make up for the losses?" Guiyan Han mumbled in confusion upon hearing the words, as he was not paying attention to Mu Shen. His gaze was completely focused on the [Double Spirit Root] in Mu Shen's hands.

The return of the World Spiritual Chi had not only benefited not only the Abysmal Tower, but also the Guiyan family!

The first most ancient ancestor of the family had managed to half-step into the separation and reunion realm just like the ancient ancestor of the Abyssal Tower. But the Guiyan family ancestor could not break through as it was his limit and he needed very high level natural treasures.

But with this spiritual flower the Guiyan family ancestor would undoubtedly manage to break through the last barrier and break through to the separation and reunion realm once the alchemy is performed!

They could even attack the Abyssal Tower and take it under their command before they could react!

Attacking and suppressing the Qingming Pavilion and the Wan Shou Mountain Sect in the capital would not be an illusionary dream either...

In this case, safeguarding appearances would no longer have a case and he could kill this young man and take the [Double Spirit Root] for the ancestor.

Once the Abyssal Tower is destroyed, he can obtain the resources he wants and raise his cultivation as well. Breaking through to the separation and reunion realm would not be far in the future.

"An arrogant young man like you shouldn't have this spiritual flower! I'll take it in exchange for leaving you whole body!"

Unexpectedly, the ancestor who had exclaimed earlier upon recognizing the spiritual flower in Mu Shen's hands roared excitedly as he stretched out his hand towards him, his aura rapidly bursting out as a pressure enveloped Mu Shen, crushing his internal organs as blood flowed from his mouth.

"This is the Potential?" Mu Shen couldn't help but be surprised as he felt a different force enveloping him and holding his body tightly, as if preventing him from being able to move a single finger.

The information Ling Tian had given them all explained about the stages of cultivation and how to reach them, as well as the abilities and talents one could develop upon reaching high levels.

The Potential at the separation and reunion realm was undoubtedly a terrifying force that combined spirit sense and cultivation essence to be able to form a small domain, in which low-level cultivators can be easily suppressed.

This level can only be developed in the separation and reunion realm, while cultivators who are half step into this realm can also learn and sense it, so that their success in breaking through will be easier.

Even if it was only a small sliver of the Potential that can be achieved to exhibit, it was still quite terrifying.

"Shen!"

Hu Wenxin exclaimed in worry and tried to help Mu Shen as she saw that the old man behind Guiyan Han had appeared in front of Mu Shen in the blink of an eye.

Guiyan Han saw this and did nothing. Instead, he smiled faintly as he began to imagine what would happen once the ancestor broke through and began his plan to dominate the entire capital of the south state.

'This guy must be a step closer to entering the separation and reunion realm!' Mu Shen thought to himself as he saw this old man's excited and crazed expression as he stared at the spiritual flower in his hand.

If such an expression appeared on an expert old man, it was undoubtedly because he desperately needed this spiritual flower.

But Mu Shen could not help but regret at this; if he knew that this problem would develop in such a way, he would try to have taken out something of less value until he caught the attention of the Guiyan family patriarch with something different.

Mu Shen was at the nascent soul late stage, while this old man clearly should be at the peak of the separation and reunion realm, setting the half-step to the next realm. Such a gap of more than one great realm no doubt is gigantic even for him.

Mu Shen's fingers tightened a little tighter around the [Double Spirit Root] despite feeling the old man's terrifying pressure. While his other hand squeezed the small hidden talisman he had that Hao Zhentian had given him, trying to direct his spirit sense into it and activate it to escape from here.

If he managed to get rid of the [Double Spirit Root] and turn it into a decoy so as to distract this old man even for an instant, Mu Shen would activate the talisman without hesitation and take Hu Wenxin and the others to escape.

"You think you will be able to escape from my Potential?"

The old man sneered as a small sword had appeared in his hand, swinging it directly on Mu Shen's arm that held the [Double Spirit Root], wanting to cut him off without any hesitation.

A little nascent soul realm cultivator dared to want to escape from him?

If this kid succeeded, then his life would be a joke and he wouldn't have the face to come out!

Once he takes this spiritual flower and it becomes the opening and closing pill, he would be able to officially break through and enter the next realm!

He would become the first expert in the entire south state!

He could even try to travel to the east state and try to increase his cultivation, fighting for cultivation resources and becoming stronger.

Becoming a world powerhouse like those monsters in the north state would not be an unrealistic dream!

The ancestor of the Guiyan family could not control his excitement. As long as he killed this young man, the spiritual flower would be his.

"Hoo~? The older generation shamelessly dealing with the younger generation?"

Before the small sword landed on Mu Shen's skin, a hoarse and deep voice quietly spread throughout the place, instantly stopping the small ancestor's sword.

"It seems that greed and arrogance always go hand in hand..."

The Guiyan family ancestor's expression finally changed, feeling chills and a terror inside him as he was unable to move, as if an extremely powerful superior force enveloped him, freezing every part of his body and preventing him from being able to even move a finger...

Potential!

This force came from a real Potential!

And this force clearly belonged to that of an expert!

And a true expert in the separation and reunion realm!

Guiyan Han and the two ancestors behind him blinked in surprise as well, directing their gaze towards a figure walking towards them calmly.

Mu Shen, Hu Wenxin and the women were also surprised to see this figure appear, with a mask of what appeared to be the face of a spiritual fox on his face, preventing them from seeing who it was.
