No hope for eternal life

Chapter 345 Treasure

Finally, Mu Changsheng found that many people asked the same questions, so he directly compiled four booklets, representing his experience in talismans, formations, body refining, and cultivation. He circulated them among the Liu family and asked everyone to look at the booklets if they had any questions.

Just like that, no one in the Liu family looked for Mu Changsheng again, and Mu Changsheng finally had some free time to concentrate on his cultivation.

It was not until a year later that Liu Bingkun, the head of the Liu family, personally visited Mu Changsheng.

As soon as Liu Bingkun met him, he apologized and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, Master."

"Patriarch Liu, you are too polite. Please feel free to tell me if you have anything to say." Mu Changsheng said gently.

Seeing this, Liu Bingkun slowly explained the cause of the matter: "The thing is, thanks to the protection of the immortal masters, no one comes to disturb the sea area within a radius of 500 miles of our Xiawei Island. Our Liu family can also catch some spiritual fish and spiritual shrimps in the sea area for a living, and we have always lived in peace with the world. But yesterday, a group of foreign monks occupied the sea area 100 miles to the south."

"Occupied a hundred miles of sea area." Mu Changsheng frowned as he heard this, realizing that something was wrong. The Liu family was protected by two major sects, and the other party was willing to take the risk of offending the two major sects to occupy the hundred miles of land. This was too strange.

"Patriarch Liu, do you want me to help you get back that hundred miles of sea area?" Mu Changsheng asked.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bingkun shook his head and said, "Master, you misunderstood me. The reason I came to tell you is because I suspect there is a treasure there. Some tribesmen said that the sea area has become a little strange recently, and the spiritual energy is much richer than usual."

Liu Bingkun actually came here to offer treasures. He knew that his own strength was not enough to snatch the treasures, so he came to inform Mu Changsheng, which could be regarded as repaying the favor of Mu Changsheng for guiding the Liu family cultivators before.

"Treasure!" Mu Changsheng was shocked when he heard it at first, but then he thought about it and it was indeed very reasonable. It explained it. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. If the benefits are great, people will dare to do anything no matter how risky it is. That's why that group of people dared to occupy that sea area at the risk of offending the two major sects.

Thinking of this, Mu Changsheng couldn't help wanting to find out what was going on. However, before he went, he wanted to collect some information, so he asked Liu Bingkun: "Patriarch Liu, do you know the cultivation level of that group of people? How many people are there?"

Liu Bingkun answered honestly: "I don't know, I just know that there are more than one of them. Oh, and they also set up a formation of at least level five in that sea area to block all outsiders from exploring."

Mu Changsheng nodded slightly. Liu Bingkun, the strongest member of the Liu family, was only in the late Nascent Soul stage, so it was normal for him not to know the details. However, for him, unless someone among the other party had reached the ninth level, he would always be able to protect himself.

Driven by curiosity, Mu Changsheng has decided to go and take a look. Before leaving, he specially handed Liu Bingkun a sixth-grade intermediate-level trap array disk. This array is specially used to trap the enemy to prevent him from spending too much time on the trip and preventing someone from coming to Xiawei Island to cause trouble.

Following the direction indicated by Liu Bingkun, Mu Changsheng had just flown a hundred miles out of Xiawei Island when he saw the formation that Liu Bingkun had mentioned.

"It's a top-grade fifth-grade God Binding Formation, not even sixth-grade." Mu Changsheng had the formation experience of Taoist Master An and Emperor Tianqing, and had some understanding of various formations. He quickly saw through the details of the formation in front of him, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.

There is no doubt that this God Binding Formation was the work of that group of people. From the grade of the formation, one can roughly judge the cultivation level of the person who set up the formation. At most, he is at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, and it is almost impossible to be above the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Mu Changsheng was not in a hurry to break into the formation, but used the sound transmission method to send a message to the person who was setting up the formation: "Fellow Daoist inside, can at least one of you come out and chat for a while?"

Mu Changsheng's voice transmission did have some effect. A graceful woman in gray clothes and light gauze quickly walked out of the formation. She was at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. She politely saluted Mu Changsheng and said, "My name is Ye Zhanqing. May I ask your name, fellow Taoist?"

"Okay, I'm Chen Fan, an outer disciple of Lingshan Sect." Mu Changsheng said calmly, gave a fake name, and then asked: "You should know that the sea area nearby belongs to the Liu family, and the Liu family is under the care of our two major sects. Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for you to directly occupy this sea area?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhanqing apologized directly and said, "Brother, please forgive us. We were indeed not thoughtful enough. How about this? I am willing to pay one million high-quality spirit stones to compensate you and the Liu family, and buy this sea area. Are you satisfied?"

"One million top-grade spirit stones." Mu Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly. This amount was not a small amount, but it was nothing to him. Moreover, the other party admitted his mistake and apologized so readily, which instead intensified his suspicions.

"How about this." Mu Changsheng suggested, "Let's be frank. Fellow Daoist, open the formation and let me take a look. If it is just some ordinary treasure, you can take it. I won't charge you a single spirit stone."

Seeing this, Ye Zhanqing cursed Mu Changsheng in his heart for being difficult, but he still said with a pleasant face: "To be honest, there is a small spiritual stone mine in this sea area, and we caught up with it by chance. I hope you can be kind, brother. If one million high-quality spiritual stones are not enough, I can raise the price. Brother, tell me the amount."

"It's a small spirit stone mine. Fellow Daoist, you are deceiving me like this. It seems that you don't want to let it go peacefully." Mu Changsheng sneered and didn't believe the talk of a spirit stone mine at all.

Seeing that he couldn't coax Mu Changsheng, Ye Zhanqing's face darkened completely, and he said half-threateningly: "Brother Daoist, don't you know that curiosity kills the cat? Instead of getting entangled here, it's better to quit while you're ahead."

"Interesting. This place originally belonged to our two major sects. Not only did you occupy it by force, but you also threatened me. Aren't you afraid that I will invite the elders of the sect to come and crush you to the ground?" Mu Changsheng asked tentatively. The other party seemed to be fearless, which made him a little undecided.

“Even if your Sect Master Feng comes here in person, he still has to abide by the rules here.” Ye Zhanqing said mysteriously.

“Really?” Mu Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly activated the sixth-grade intermediate Zhuxian Formation, summoned the Zhuxian Sword, and attacked the God Binding Formation that was blocking his way.

Originally, Mu Changsheng was wary of Ye Zhanqing and others, but when Ye Zhanqing mentioned Sect Master Feng Ruifeng, his fear disappeared instantly.

If the other party really had the ability to make Master Feng behave himself, why would he bother talking so much nonsense to him? So there is only one truth: the other party is bluffing, and his purpose is just to scare him off or delay time.

Mu Changsheng thought he had enough means to save his life, so he didn't bother to waste time talking to Ye Zhanqing. He first blasted open the formation and then saw clearly what was going on inside.

Ye Zhanqing was horrified to see Mu Changsheng's attack was so sharp and decisive, but she knew she couldn't stop the Immortal Execution Sword, so she could only ask for help: "Come quickly, stop him."

As soon as Ye Zhanqing finished speaking, a man with a sword rushed out from the formation. He flew across the air with his sword and blocked Mu Changsheng's Zhuxian Sword.

"The Tribulation Realm." Mu Changsheng judged the other party's cultivation level.

"Then how can you block this?" Mu Changsheng shouted and decisively activated the only Starfall Talisman that was at the peak of the Tribulation Realm. Today he had to see what was in this formation that could make these guys hide it so secretly.

After the Star Meteor Talisman was activated, the blazing flaming stars reappeared and the sea water was evaporated madly with astonishing power.

The newly appeared sword-wielding man's face changed drastically when he saw this. He could easily sense that this attack was beyond his ability to endure.

"Retreat!" The sword-wielding man shouted at Ye Zhanqing with an unwilling look on his face, and retreated into the formation.
