Fairy Eye

Upon seeing this, a boy in plain clothes nearby perked up, got up from the ground, and ran towards Ji Bai.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Luo San had been waiting here for half a month, which shows his amazing perseverance.

"What is it?"

Ji Bai glanced at Luo San indifferently.

Although I don't know the person's name, I know that he should be a servant of Jiyun Mountain.

The difference between servants and miscellaneous servants is only one word, but their status is completely different. Miscellaneous servants are low-level errand workers who have not become formal disciples.

Servants, on the other hand, are closer to the servants in the mortal world. They are mainly responsible for serving high-ranking inner sect experts, and their benefits and treatment are often better than those of menial servants.

In addition, the spiritual energy in the inner sect is much richer than that in the outer sect, so although their reputation is not good, their growth rate is much faster than that of ordinary servants.

"Elder, I am Luo San, who is in charge of serving Senior Brother Han Lin. Before he left, he instructed me to personally deliver these two items to you."

As Luo San spoke, he handed over a slender jade bottle and a letter.

"He went out? Where did he go?"

Ji Bai frowned, reached out and took it, and asked.

"Senior Brother Han didn't say."

"understood."

Ji Bai said something indifferently, then opened the jade bottle, looked at it, smelled it, and then a faint smile appeared on his cold face.

"This kid's got a good job. The quality of this Nightshade Liquid is even better than I expected."

After glancing at it a few times, Ji Bai put the medicine bottle away.

"Luo San, right? Go tell Dai Changmeng that I have come out of seclusion and have him summon all five of my disciples. I have something to tell him."

"Yes, Elder!"

Luo San bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

Ji Bai then slowly opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and slowly read it.

"Master, in your esteem, your disciple Han Lin..."

As his gaze slowly moved, a faint blush suddenly appeared on Ji Bai's calm face, his fingers trembled slightly, and his chest began to rise and fall.

Finally, with a sudden burst of force, the entire letter instantly turned to ashes, and he cursed loudly.

"Traitor—!"

"You beast—!"

"I trusted you so much, and you dared to steal my most precious treasure! You just wait, I'll skin you alive and make you suffer a fate worse than death—!"

He was not like Ji Bai, the sixth elder of Guiyuan Sect, who only regarded the Blood Spirit Bowl as an ordinary treasure for refining beast blood and making spirit talismans.

He knew that the Blood Spirit Bowl had an even greater purpose, and it was extremely precious to him, so he could not afford to make the slightest mistake.

After gritting his teeth for a while, Ji Bai returned to his cave with a gloomy expression.

A moment later, a group of four people came down from the foot of the mountain, glanced at the small square in front of them, and quickly walked towards the cave opposite.

These four people were Ji Bai's four apprentices.

The lowest level of cultivation is Qi Refining Level 9, while the highest level, the eldest disciple Xiang Tian, ​​has reached Qi Refining Level 12 and is currently preparing for Foundation Establishment.

The group entered the cave and saw Ji Bai sitting at a stone table drinking tea. They quickly went forward to greet him.

Ji Bai looked up at the group and asked, "Where's Lao Wu?"

The eldest disciple said to the heavens, "Master, Junior Brother Zhao encountered some trouble more than a month ago and hasn't come out of seclusion yet..."

"Hmph! What a useless piece of trash, to be injured so badly by a mere Qi Refining Level 4 cultivator!" Ji Bai said angrily after hearing this.

Then he took out a small jade bottle and looked at the four of them, saying, "I have recently figured out a new type of rune that can speed up your cultivation. Stand still and I will draw it on you."

"Runes that can accelerate cultivation?"

The group exchanged astonished glances; it was the first time they had ever heard of such a wondrous thing.

But Ji Bai didn't explain to the others at all. He simply opened the bottle, put two fingers together and pointed in the air, and a stream of dark liquid flew out of the bottle.

He flicked his fingers in the air, and soon a strange rune was inscribed.

"go!"

Ji Bai pointed at Xiang Tian's brow from a distance, and the rune flashed and disappeared instantly. Before Xiang Tian could react, it was already imprinted on his brow.

Then, a flash of inspiration struck, and it vanished.

"Master, you...!"

Xiang Tian's expression changed slightly, and in an instant, his entire sea of ​​consciousness turned black. Although it quickly returned to normal, it still made him feel uneasy.

"Don't speak."

With a blank expression, Ji Bai said something, and then followed suit, drawing several black runes and placing them on the foreheads of the other three people.

Only then did he stop the spell and put the cork back on.

"Alright, from now on, the four of you are people I can truly trust!"

"Master, what do you mean by that...?"

He said to the sky with trepidation.

The other three also looked a little pale, sensing that their master was acting strangely today.

Ji Bai stared at Xiang Tian and smiled coldly: "Heh heh! Let me be frank with you, that rune is not for your cultivation, but an ancient incantation. From now on, I can kill you at any time if I want! I can also access your memories at any time."

What!

The four people were immediately incredulous upon hearing this, and their expressions changed drastically.

Ji Bai calmly said, "You don't need to be nervous. As long as you work diligently for me, you will still be my good disciples!"

I will even go to great lengths to help you improve your cultivation and become unparalleled powerhouses who will shake the world!

At this point, he sneered and said, "Of course, if any of you are unwilling to follow me, you can say so. I will not force you."

After saying that, he just quietly looked at the four of them.

Although the four did not understand why their master had suddenly become like this, they knew that they no longer had any choice.

Seeing this, they all lowered their heads in disappointment, indicating that they were willing to obey their master's instructions.

"Good, good, good, that's the kind of good disciple I should have!"

Ji Bai gave a cold laugh. "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother. Now I'm giving you a task. If you do it well, you'll be rewarded. But if you mess it up, don't blame me for not showing any mercy to you as your master."

"Please give your instructions, Master."

The three of them were startled and quickly said something.

"Here's the thing, I have a precious bowl that was given to me by my fifth brother! But while I was in seclusion, my sixth brother secretly took it. No matter what method you use, you must bring the bowl back to me!"

"Yes, Master."

Although the three were greatly surprised, they dared not ask any more questions and obediently agreed.

"Yes, I called you all here for this matter. You may all leave! Boss, go find Fifth Brother and see if he's dead. If he's not, get over here to see me right now!" After giving the order, Ji Bai waved them away, completely disregarding their low spirits.

They didn't seem worried at all that the others might have ulterior motives.

The group left the cave dejectedly, remaining silent all the way until they reached the foot of the mountain. Finally, the fourth brother, Mo Zijian, couldn't hold back any longer and punched a tree trunk beside him.

He cursed, "Old dog!"

Seeing this, the other three all shook their heads with wry smiles.

Just as the eldest brother was about to say a few words of comfort, Mo Zijian's face suddenly erupted with black smoke, and he clutched his head and screamed in agony.

"Ah, no, Master, I was wrong, I know I was wrong... Ah!"

"This is a small warning for you. If there's a next time, I won't be so lenient." Ji Bai's voice rang out from within the black mist.

Upon hearing the voice, Xiang Tian and the other two were immediately horrified, realizing that what Ji Bai had said earlier was true.

Their every move was under the other party's control.
