Chapter 269 The Art of Yuanding

"..."

No one expected that Xu Mu would be so unlucky. Two groups of people in a row targeted him and deliberately caused trouble for him.

The expressions of these two people were even more arrogant, almost arrogant, and their nostrils were about to turn upward.

Just when Xu Mu was considering whether to resist and prove that he was not a softie, Wu Chun came over again.

This time I am quite anxious!

"Fellow Daoist Xu and the others are the Seventh Princess's people, so you must not mess with them!"

"Seventh Princess? Uh! Okay!"

Xu Mu sighed inwardly and pulled Xu Lingyu to the other side.

The seventh princess is the most talented among all the princesses and princes. She has been praised by the ancestors of the royal family and is one of the most likely to inherit the throne.

If those who compete for the throne are arranged into three levels, Li Youlan can only be ranked in the third level, while the seventh princess is ranked in the first level.

Both the opponent's own strength and the power of his subordinates far exceeded Li Youlan.

For example, the two beautiful women in gauze clothes in front of me are both in the late stage of Jindan. They seem to have strong vitality and may become the ancestors of Nascent Soul in the future. Based on this alone, they are almost the best among everyone present.

Even Ling Ying, the woman who worked for the second prince just now, obviously kept a low profile.

Of course, if these two people can cultivate to this level, they are not stupid. Otherwise, they would not choose Xu Lingyu and Xu Mu to bully, but should choose the two strongest people.

Among the nine groups of people present, these two people should be the most talented people. In terms of strength, they can only be ranked second. Ranked first are two middle-aged men. Their cultivation is also in the late stage of Jindan. One of them has obviously reached Nine levels of perfection.

These two people are from the eldest prince.

"Hmph! You two know each other!" The two women snorted coldly and studied the magic formula on the cauldron in front of them.

Xu Lingyu's face had become ugly. Xu Mu's repeated concessions would not only make Li Youlan lose face, but would also be very detrimental to their mission.

Their tasks are that one is responsible for attracting the remnant souls, and the other is responsible for controlling the cauldron to assist in refining the remnant souls.

It's okay to say that attracting the remnant soul is basically not too difficult, but this auxiliary refining the remnant soul is quite difficult.

The difficulty is not whether it can be controlled, but how far it can be controlled.

The higher the level of control, the better the effect of refining the residual soul, and the more rewards you will get in the end.

The rewards for this mission are not divided equally, but are calculated based on the amount of effort.

The person responsible for the calculation is the Nascent Soul Ancestor who is in charge of the task this time.

Nowadays, they are being driven away and constantly changing the methods they comprehend. It is conceivable that their understanding of the methods must lag behind everyone else. They make mistakes every step of the way. In addition, Xu Mu's cultivation is not as good as others, and his alchemy skills are not as good as others. If you are not as good as others, you are likely to get the least reward in the end.

There are only so many rewards. If they have less, others will have more, so two groups of people come to trouble them.

If the reward is too small, it will not only waste the opportunity that Li Youlan finally fought for, but also become the laughing stock of everyone.

"Wait until the mission is over! Explain yourself to His Highness!"

Xu Lingyu said coldly.

It’s quite a bit like hating iron for not being able to become steel!

Xu Mu was a little surprised when he heard Xu Lingyu say such a long sentence for the first time. It seemed like this person was really a die-hard fan of Li Youlan!

"Don't worry! I'll take full responsibility for any problems!" Xu Mu said with a slight smile.

He has a system in his body and no one can compare to him in terms of understanding the magic formula.

But he doesn't want to be in the limelight. Being treated as a soft persimmon now is the best result, as long as the best reward is not too small.

"snort!"

Xu Lingyu snorted coldly, not wanting to pay attention to Xu Mu, and simply walked aside and meditated.

Xu Mu shook his head helplessly and continued to record the above skills. Not long after, a "Yuan Ding Technique" skill appeared on his system again.

It just became "The Third Level of Yuanding Technique"!

There is indeed something wrong with these techniques!

Xu Mu's heart moved and he upgraded one of them to the level of mastery.

【Do you want to fuse if you find that the fusion method is possible? 】

"As expected!"

Xu Mu was overjoyed and immediately chose fusion. He had already made plans to learn all the techniques.

[The fusion of magic and tactics is completed, please name it? 】

"The art of Yuanding!"

[Named successfully! 】

Xu Mu then upgraded one of them to mastery, and the system sounded the fusion-ready sound again.

After the fusion is completed this time, this [Yuan Ding Technique] has reached the eighth level.

Xu Mu left his cauldron and walked towards the cauldron where Wu Chun was.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what are you doing?"

Seeing Xu Mu coming, Wu Chun asked doubtfully.

Time is short, so if you don't seize the time to understand your own cauldron, why are you here here?

"I want to learn a few more subjects to see if I can draw parallels!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"These magic tricks do have something in common, but unless you understand the nine magic tricks at the same time, they won't be of much help. But when the nine magic tricks are put together, the difficulty will be greatly increased. Even if the Nascent Soul stage lasts for one and a half hours, You won’t be able to get into it even if you know it, but it’s not as fast as just learning one thing. This is the experience accumulated over thousands of years. Fellow Taoist, you’d better go back!” Wu Chun kindly reminded.

If they could really draw an analogy, the person in charge would have told them long ago and would not let them waste time here.

"I want to try it! It won't take much time anyway!"

Wu Chun tried to persuade him a few more times, but seeing Xu Mu's firm attitude, he didn't bother to persuade him anymore. His evaluation of Xu Mu was inevitably a little worse.

Originally, he thought that Xu Mu was a good person, capable of bending and stretching, but now it seemed that he was somewhat overestimating his abilities.

It's just a no brainer to try something so obvious.

If it was really useful, others would have done it long ago, and it would be his turn to talk about it.

After cultivating to the middle stage of Jindan at an early age, do you really think that your understanding is unparalleled?

Wu Chun said with disdain in his heart.

Xu Mu didn't know what Wu Chun was thinking. After he finished recording the spells on the big cauldron, he walked to the next big cauldron.

Perhaps because he has already practiced three techniques, it is much easier to remember other techniques now.

"Fellow Taoist, this is the place we have chosen!"

Seeing Xu Mu approaching, the person who was meditating next to the cauldron could not help but frown and said coldly.

"I'm just taking a look, I won't disturb you two!" Xu Mu said with a smile and cupped his hands.

In order to avoid irritating the two of them, Xu Mu took the initiative to distance himself, just enough to barely see the words above, and the two frowned and reluctantly endured it.

In the same way, Xu Mu recorded the spells on the four cauldrons in succession. At this time, he had learned eight of them, leaving only the last one.

When he walked towards the last cauldron among the nine cauldrons, the two enlightened men next to him suddenly shouted: "Go back!"

"Two fellow Taoists, I'm only far away..." Xu Mu opened his mouth to explain.

"Didn't you hear me telling you to get out?" The two of them still refused to give in, even refusing to agree to Xu Mu's request to watch from a distance.

The movement here also attracted other people, and many people who had closed their eyes to meditate opened their eyes.

"Come back soon, Fellow Daoist Xu! Those two people are from the eldest prince!" Wu Chun hurriedly sent a message to remind.

After all, the two of them were allies. If they did nothing, they would not be able to explain to the fifth prince afterwards.

However, Xu Mu seemed not to have heard, and still smiled and cupped his hands at the two of them: "There is no rule here that cannot understand the magic formulas on other tripods. I apologize for not agreeing to your request!"

The entire hall suddenly fell silent. No one thought that Xu Mu, who had been so soft-hearted just now, suddenly became so hard-headed!

Ling Ying, who was under the second prince, and the two beautiful women who were under the seventh princess, both looked surprised.

Could it be that this old guy has water in his head and wants to use these two people to prove that he is not a soft persimmon?

"you wanna die!"
