I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 210 Successive Transformations
Two days later, near another Giant Spirit Flower!

Impatient, Xiao Wuji found another Giant Spirit Flower, hoping to force Mu Qing to show himself.

With a flick of his sleeve, countless sword threads rained down, slicing the giant spirit flower below, which stretched out with numerous barbed tentacles, into fragments.

As he comprehended the power of the sword, he became increasingly adept at wielding his sword techniques. Now, with just one move, "Sword Qi Forming Silk," his power surpasses that of the complete Great Geng Sword Formation.

"You bastard, you've ruined my ritual again!"

The moment the Giant Spirit Flower shattered, an exasperated voice emanated from its roots once more, followed by an indistinct figure emerging from within.

"Old woman, it's all because you came too late! I've been waiting for you so long, the flowers have all withered!"

"you!"

Just as Mu Qing was about to get angry, he seemed to sense something and smiled mysteriously:

"You want to force me out? Then you'll have to accept my big gift first!"

After saying that, the hazy light and shadow instantly vanished from the spot, so fast that even Xiao Wuji was somewhat taken aback.

"Has it finally developed a brain? It's being so cautious!"

"However, if it's not a woman, I won't accept a grand gift!"

Xiao Wuji flicked his finger, and a black flame immediately fell from the sky, then spread into a sea of ​​fire, burning the Giant Spirit Flower to ashes along its roots.

He didn't want Mu Qing to see him make his move later, because that would mean he would lose the initiative and it would take much more effort to take her down.

A short while later, a menacing figure appeared within his spiritual perception range, and the overwhelming Yin energy made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Among the four demon kings, the only one with such Yin energy is probably the ghost cultivator "Lady Lan". Unfortunately, she is a ghost, which is quite boring. She dislikes the title of undead knight.

As the aura drew closer, Xiao Wuji finally saw the person's appearance clearly. She was a beautiful woman with white hair, but her face was bloodless.

"He's not bad looking, but it's a pity he's got a deadpan face!"

"Let's just use the Six Desires Furnace to suppress it. If you want to practice, finding Earth Blood would be a good option!"

Xiao Wuji took out the Six Desires Furnace and held it in his hands. After a moment's thought, he took out another bell-shaped sacred weapon and put it into his Purple Mansion to protect his Nascent Soul.

This was his first time facing a Nascent Soul cultivator head-on, so he couldn't be too careful.

However, Xiao Wuji had somewhat underestimated the power of this sacred weapon. Even though the deity within the weapon hadn't fully awakened, the white-haired beauty seemed utterly powerless against it, easily suppressed within the furnace.

However, converting it was an expensive process, and after only two uses, he had already consumed nearly half of his pure source.

"I am Madam Lan, and I greet you, fellow Daoist!"

Mrs. Lan's eyes were filled with longing, her face brimming with adoration, and there was a kind of madness that made her willing to give everything for the person in front of her.

Despite Madam Lan's genuine feelings, Xiao Wuji seemed oblivious, and said indifferently:
"Yes, take me to see Mu Qing!"

"Yes!"

A hint of excitement flashed across Madam Lan's face, as if she were receiving a royal favor. She quickly agreed and then led the way.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, on another giant spirit flower, Mu Qing's figure appeared. Looking at the silent battlefield in the distance, he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Could this kid be just a showpiece?"

"If I had known this would happen, I would have killed him myself!"

Just as Mu Qing was filled with regret, he suddenly saw two figures flying towards his mountain.

"The old hag? And that damned brat!" "Has she already captured him alive by the old hag?"

"Looks like we'll be able to get the ten-thousand-year-old blood fish soon!"

……

Half a day later, atop a towering mountain peak.

"Owner……"

"I never imagined you possessed such extraordinary abilities; you almost got away!"

Xiao Wuji placed one hand on Mu Qing's head, watching her wag her tail and beg for mercy beneath him.

This is not Mu Qing's cave dwelling, but an unnamed mountain peak thousands of miles away from her cave dwelling.

All of this stemmed from a supernatural ability of Mu Qing's. She could actually manipulate a black glow to transform into a teleportation array. Although this supernatural ability required setting up a teleportation platform in advance and could only be used for fixed-point teleportation, it was still a useful tool for escaping.

If it weren't for the Void Eye treasure he possessed, he might not have been able to catch up, let alone capture it.

"You made a bit too much noise just now. Go back and calm your men down, make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Considering that he had just made a blatant move, and the commotion he caused would definitely be noticed by Mu Qing's men, it would be best to let Mu Qing calm him down in order to avoid any unrest.

After all, Mu Qing's subordinates are his subordinates, aren't they? Of course, he should take good care of his own subordinates.

Inside the main hall, Mu Qing sat cross-legged on a giant golden flower, recovering the magical power he had lost while resisting the refining by the Six Desires Furnace.

Xiao Wuji sat in the guest seat below, holding Mu Qing's maid in his arms, enjoying the girl's sorrowful shyness up close.

As for Madam Lan, she stood silently behind Xiao Wuji, acting as his maid.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qing finally fully recovered. When she opened her eyes, she saw the person she admired sitting in the guest seat, slowly drinking tea, while her maid, Bi'er, had been pushed under the table at some point.

"My dear...master~"

Under Xiao Wuji's gaze, Mu Qing had no choice but to use a more stiff form of address. This was punishment for not offering her true feelings to her "master" at first sight, which forced her "master" to waste a lot of money.

"Now that you've recovered, let me tell you about my plans for you!"

"Mu Qing will transplant his main body into my cave-heaven magic treasure later. As for your two subordinates, pick a few with good talent and send them into the cave-heaven as well."

"I'll go find Earth Blood to cause trouble later. I may not be able to kill him, but at least I'll cripple him and render him unable to fight again."

"At that time, you should try to recruit me into your team, since I am also very interested in that demonic artifact and the Styx God's Milk."

The Styx Divine Milk can help people break through to the Mahayana stage. Even if he doesn't need it, it's still a top-tier treasure for trading.

As for that demonic artifact, it is even more extraordinary. The fact that Qing Yuanzi is wary of it means that it also possesses Mahayana-level combat power. If his puppet avatar can devour it, wouldn't that mean he will directly gain Mahayana-level combat power?

Furthermore, if a magical artifact becomes sentient, does that mean that "it" is also a special kind of artifact spirit?

"Alright, that's about it. Just be flexible and adapt to the situation!"

"Now, get me to Bloodflame Mountain first!"

Mu Qing was proficient in teleportation techniques and had set up a considerable number of teleportation arrays in the first six levels of the Seven-Layer Abyss, enabling him to quickly travel between each level of the Abyss.

Moreover, because Mu Qing can manipulate plant roots to set up teleportation arrays underground, probably no one except Mu Qing himself knows exactly how many teleportation arrays there are in this abyss.
