Chapter 431 Determination

"Mother, you know that from my childhood till now, I have always been able to keep my word."

Seeing Concubine Jing's panic, Xuanyuan Changxu knew that he had made the right bet. He felt a little sad and suddenly wondered whether his mother loved him more or herself more. From childhood to adulthood, Xuanyuan Changxu always remembered that his mother always liked to say to him: that he was her life.

However, Xuanyuan Changxu didn't understand. Since he was her life, how could she treat Qingyin, her lifesaver, like that? Not only did she not appreciate her kindness at all, but she actually treated Qingyin as an enemy?

Could it be that because I didn't repay Qingyin's so-called kindness enough, my mother couldn't stand it? If I married Qingyin in the future, wouldn't my mother hate her so much that she wanted to kill her? Xuanyuan Changxu's eyes quickly flashed with confusion. When he thought about it, he was shocked. He didn't dare to think about it any more and forced himself to stop thinking about it.

Whatever, one is his mother, and the other is the woman he must marry. If the two can't get along, then there's no need to get along. At worst, he will just be alone in the future.

Although this idea of mine is quite unfilial, it is better than letting them get along with each other in the future and eventually creating hatred between them, right?

Xuanyuan Changxu made up his mind secretly, and became more determined. Seeing his unprecedented seriousness, Concubine Jing knew that he was not just trying to scare her.

She couldn't help but burst into tears again, looking at Xuanyuan Changxu with a sad face and sobbing, "For you, mother has suffered so much and endured so much hardship. Don't you remember? Just for a woman, how could you bear to treat mother like this? You are so unfilial, do you know that? Wuuuu. Mother did everything for you, otherwise why would she treat her mercilessly just because Nanny Chen treated her like that, afraid that you would be sad if you knew about it? But you are..."

You don't even know how touched you are by all you've done for your mother. You're still ruthless to that woman and still regard that woman as more important than yourself, your mother.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. However, she remembered Xuanyuan Changxu's previous warning and dared not lash out. She cursed Mu Qingyin again and covered her face and cried breathlessly, trying to make Xuanyuan Changxu feel guilty.

Concubine Jing never thought that she would find herself crying for a long time, but her son Xuanyuan Changxu remained silent. He did not come to persuade her or give in as she expected.

Xuanyuan Changxu's unexpected silence gave Jingfei a bad feeling, and she suddenly felt like she couldn't cry anymore.

She looked up and saw Xuanyuan Changxu looking at her crying without saying anything and frowning tightly. Concubine Jing was immediately displeased and ashamed, and she stopped crying and stared at Xuanyuan Changxu.

Unexpectedly, facing her displeasure, Xuanyuan Changxu still looked at her indifferently with an unmoved look. That look made Jing Fei panic. She said with tears in her eyes: "Xu'er, are you going to separate from your mother just for a woman?"

"Mother, I have never thought of separating from you because of anyone. If there ever comes a day when we are separated, I think it will not be caused by anyone."

Chapter 432 Refutation

Sighing silently in his heart, Xuanyuan Changxu kept a calm expression, looking at Concubine Jing calmly and said slowly, "To be disrespectful, I'm afraid that most of the reasons should be found in yourself."

".Woo woo woo."

What does this mean? If one day he marries a wife and forgets his mother, is it all because of her? Her son, the son she has worked so hard to raise for so many years, turned out to be such an unfilial and conscienceless person? Concubine Jing looked at Xuanyuan Changxu blankly at first, and then she was really sad, shocked and angry. However, Xuanyuan Changxu was too calm, so even if Concubine Jing was angry in her heart, she didn't dare to get angry easily.

She didn't even dare to speak, for fear that she would burst into scolding him as soon as she opened her mouth. So she could only cover her face with the handkerchief in her hand and burst into tears again.

Xuanyuan Changxu was not in a hurry, he just sat there and watched her cry with cold eyes, and waited until she finally cried enough before continuing: "Mother, I always remember that you always liked to say that to me since I was little.

They always say that the emperor has neglected you, that you have to stay in the backyard of the palace and live a lonely life for me. They say that you have suffered a lot for me.

Sighing softly, Xuanyuan Changxu said, "But from childhood to adulthood, I have never seen you suffer any hardship or suffering. Father has indeed neglected you all along.

But even if he neglects you in private, no one has ever dared to embezzle or withhold the supplies in your palace.

Not to mention embezzlement, even if the local areas or other vassal states pay tribute with good things, many of which are not even available in the Queen's Palace, you can't miss them."

Looking at Concubine Jing who was staring at him in astonishment, Xuanyuan Changxu laughed at himself. He was so disrespectful today to say these words that had been in his heart for a long time. Perhaps he was indeed an unfilial person as his mother said?

But even if it was unfilial, since he had already said some things, he had to say them all in one breath, so in the face of Concubine Jing's astonishment, he still insisted on speaking.

"So I have never seen you suffer in all these years. Instead, I have only seen you live a life of luxury. And your talk of suffering is even more ridiculous.

Over the years, there are only a few concubines in the palace who have higher positions than you, but they always receive far less rewards than you. They are jealous of you, but dare not really provoke you. They only dare to stab you with a few words occasionally. Have you ever been offended by anyone else?"

After saying this, without waiting for Concubine Jing, who was showing a very angry expression upon hearing this, to have another chance to vent her "grievances", Xuanyuan Changxu immediately said: "If, even if you bring this up in front of your father or your adoptive father, I'm afraid they will completely dislike you just because you are not satisfied."

Looking at Concubine Jing, Xuanyuan Changxu slowly pulled up a smile that seemed extremely cold to Concubine Jing. He said very coldly: "Mother, you have always said a sentence since you were a child, saying that 'nine out of ten things in this world are not satisfactory'.

You see, in fact, even you yourself are not unaware of this truth. But why do you expect yourself to be able to do everything according to your wishes? "

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 433 Patience to the Extreme

Shaking his head, Xuanyuan Changxu said, "Let alone you, I'm afraid even the Queen and my father, or even an immortal like my adoptive father, can't do everything according to my wishes and won't suffer any grievances."

Princess Jing: "."

Her face flushed. Although she knew that what Xuanyuan Changxu said was reasonable, she shouldn't let him, as a son, say these words to her.

Where did he put his dignity as a mother? Where was his dignity?

Unable to hold back any longer, she looked at Xuanyuan Changxu with fire in her eyes. Concubine Jing was at a loss for words for a moment, and before she could think of how to refute, she heard Xuanyuan Changxu continue speaking.

"Mother, now that you know the real reason why father neglected us, you don't have to think too much about it in the future, let alone compete with the concubines in his harem for jealousy. Not only will you make yourself uncomfortable, I'm afraid even father-in-law will be annoyed if he sees you in secret."

"Do you really think that I want to compete with those people for favors?"

Seizing the hint of "jealousy" in Xuanyuan Changxu's words, Concubine Jing finally took the opportunity to explode in anger, "If they hadn't tried to provoke me again and again, how could I be willing to pay more attention to them?"

She wiped her tears and looked at Xuanyuan Changxu with an accusing look, trying to draw out his guilt as she said, "Now that you are older, you are no longer as considerate of your mother as you were when you were little.

Just for a woman, isn't it because Nanny Chen offended her and was a little disrespectful to her? Nanny Chen has already paid her life for her, what else do you want? Why do you have to be so persistent and use so many words to squeeze my mother and hurt my mother's heart? "

Xuanyuan Changxu: "."

He just felt that it was unprecedentedly tiring to talk to his mother who was so unreasonable and deliberately confusing right and wrong. He closed his eyes and opened them again, looking at Concubine Jing helplessly.

When Concubine Jing saw that he looked so guilty and speechless, she was secretly delighted, thinking that her words had won Xuanyuan Changxu over.

She wanted to press on with the victory, but she was also vaguely afraid that if she continued to pursue him and said something unpleasant to her while Xuanyuan Changxu was still fond of Mu Qingyin, Xuanyuan Changxu would get angry again.

Therefore, she thought about it secretly and decided to show weakness first. She immediately pretended to be sad, and said with full of resentment and grievance: "Mother knows that is your sweetheart"

After gritting her teeth again and waiting for a while, Concubine Jing forced herself to continue, "Since that is the person you really like, even if your mother is still upset about Nanny Chen's death, and even if she refused to say a word for Nanny Chen at that time, so that Nanny Chen had to die, but who made you like her?

After all, you are the most important person in my heart. I absolutely cannot vent my anger on your beloved for a dead servant."

"Mother, what does Nanny Chen's death have to do with Qingyin? Why are you so determined to put the blame on her?"

Xuanyuan Changxu felt that his patience with Concubine Jing had reached its limit. However, he took a deep breath again, tried his best to control himself and said in a slow voice, "She is just a servant and she relies on being your wet nurse.

Relying on your favor, she has done countless things to take advantage of your power. She is not only arrogant in your palace, but also in my prince's palace.

If it weren't for you, I would have dealt with her long ago. Wasn't it her own fault this time? She first acted recklessly at the Kuang family, and then deliberately made things difficult for Qingyin. Tell me, when you punished her, what was Qingyin's reason, and why did she speak up to plead for her?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 434 Disappointment

Why?

Concubine Jing was completely unaware of Xuanyuan Changxu's forbearance. Upon hearing this, she snorted coldly, "Of course, just because you want to marry her, I will be her elder in the future. Is it unfair to her to bow slightly to someone who is proud in front of the elders?"

Since Xuanyuan Changxu had decided on Mu Qingyin and wanted to marry her, Concubine Jing was very unwilling and deliberately used the word "accept".

He thought that his son was a prince after all, and a prince could have concubines and maids in addition to his principal wife.

Given her son's current love for that vixen, she was unwilling to marry her as his principal wife. But it was impossible to just take her as a concubine. Even if she was just a cousin of the Kuang family, the Kuang family couldn't afford to lose face.

But a concubine might not be a bad idea. The more Concubine Jing thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was feasible. She immediately said to Xuanyuan Changxu with hope: "Forget it, since you really like her. But her status is not worthy of you, then you might as well take her into the palace as a concubine."

Humph, as for men, the novelty of getting a woman quickly wears off.

She would just be patient for a while, waiting for her son to get used to that vixen before she could deal with her properly. Even if she was a high-level martial artist, what would it matter?

As long as she enters the house, her mother-in-law's status will be able to suppress her. It will be easy to deal with a simple-minded person like her who only knows how to speak directly and can't even beat around the bush. Thinking of this, Concubine Jing had a smug and twisted smile on her face. But she had to pretend to be kind in front of Xuanyuan Changxu, so her smile suddenly looked so weird.

Xuanyuan Changxu: "."

He looked at Concubine Jing with a look of disappointment: "Thank you for your concern, mother, but I have already promised Qingyin that I will only marry her in this life. Now she has not decided to marry me, and you are talking about taking her as a concubine. Isn't it a joke?"

"What? You actually promised her that? How can this be possible? Your spiritual roots are not good, but that doesn't necessarily mean your children's spiritual roots are not good either.

Didn't your stepfather tell you to marry more wives and have more children? How can you marry only her now?"

Upon hearing Xuanyuan Changxu's words, Concubine Jing was immediately jealous and anxious, and couldn't help but screamed in a shrill voice: "No, this is absolutely not possible. I don't agree, and even your adoptive father will definitely not agree to it."

"It's up to you. Whether you agree or not is none of my business."

Before raising his hand to withdraw the formation, Xuanyuan Changxu glanced at Jing Fei coldly: "If you do this, I will not have the face to ask Qing Yin to marry me again. Even if she agrees, I am afraid that you will let her suffer.

In this case, I cannot break my vow and marry someone else. It would be good for me to be alone and focus on cultivation from now on."

After saying that, Xuanyuan Changxu put the removed formation into the secret realm, and walked straight out without even looking at Concubine Jing.

"Xu'er."

Xuanyuan Changxu's words and his particularly cold look startled Jing Fei, and she reached out to pull him, but Xuanyuan Changxu's cultivation was higher than hers. If he wanted to leave, how could Jing Fei hold him back? Seeing Xuanyuan Changxu leave without looking back, Jing Fei felt a palpitation in her heart, and suddenly she felt that she had completely lost him.

That feeling made her heart panic and ache like never before. She opened her mouth to shout, but Xuanyuan Changxu ignored her and walked away as if he hadn't heard her.

Is she really wrong?

Concubine Jing looked at Xuanyuan Changxu's disappearing back in disbelief, and suddenly slumped down and sat down -

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 435 Another Spirit Stone Mine

After returning to his own prince's mansion, Xuanyuan Changxu asked his confidant to send a heavy gift to the Kuang family as an apology. After that, he told the public that he was in seclusion, staying in the mansion to practice behind closed doors and refused to go out easily.

Even at Changsheng Tower, he sent someone to apologize for the appointment he had made with Mu Qingyin and decided not to go.

Xuanyuan Changxu felt ashamed and helpless.

He knew very well that there was a mother like Concubine Jing standing in the way. If he continued to pester Mu Qingyin, even if he finally moved her and married her, I'm afraid the future of the two of them would be disturbed and they would have a hard time living a truly peaceful and happy life.

Even though he had never thought of giving up Mu Qingyin in his heart.

But he also knew clearly that with his mother watching him closely, it was not appropriate for the two of them to have close contact for the time being.

His desire to marry Mu Qingyin now faces an additional obstacle that he simply cannot overcome, so he is afraid he will have to wait.

The only thing he felt relieved about now was that they were both high-level warriors, and high-level warriors, especially those who had reached the great perfection of high-level warriors, had a long life span. Qingyin also said that she would not consider marriage for the time being.

Thinking about it now, Xuanyuan Changxu was actually glad that she had such an idea that he had secretly complained about countless times. So now he felt that he had no choice but to practice.

Thinking about how he could never see through Mu Qingyin's cultivation, he doubted that she had already broken through to the innate realm. If she really had broken through to the innate realm and became a cultivator, then he couldn't fall too far behind.

So in the following days, he didn't want to think about anything, and tried his best to practice in the secret realm. Not only did he not go to the Kuang family, he also didn't go to the palace, whether it was his father's or mother's place.

Even though his mother sent people to the prince's palace to summon him almost every day, he always ignored them.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Changxu was willing to calm down and concentrate on his cultivation, and no longer appeared in front of her from time to time, or handed her things or messages, Mu Qingyin was quite uncomfortable at first.

However, as the days passed, the day that he and his grandfather had agreed to meet Murong Yingyang in the depths of the Boundless Sea was getting closer.

Thinking that the spiritual stone mine in the depths of the Boundless Sea was of better quality and was about to be in her possession, Mu Qingyin immediately forgot about other unimportant "little things".

Boundless Sea - Several days in advance, Old Master Kuang brought Mu Qingyin and the two brothers Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong, and led more than 2,000 high-level and perfect warriors of the Kuang family on a magic ship, concealing the hull and heading towards the depths of the Boundless Sea.

The magic weapon ship was moving at an extremely fast speed. Except for Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin, everyone else who was riding it for the first time was excited.

There is the water-repellent pill brought out by Mu Qingyin; there is the diving suit made of dragon silk woven by the mermaids that is impervious to water; and there is also Murong Yingyang's internal and external support.

The process of the Kuang family taking over the spirit stone mine that was occupied by Murong Yingyang's clansmen was unexpectedly smooth.

They gave Murong Yingyang's people a pill of loyalty, and escorted them to the seabed to dig for spiritual stones. The mermaids they had captured before were all delighted and cheered loudly when they saw that they had suffered the same fate as them.

Seeing that Old Master Kuang and his entourage were kindhearted, he ordered his men to remove the shackles from their bodies as soon as they saw them. The newly elected mermaid king bowed to Old Master Kuang with some hope and asked in secret using telepathy: "Respected human warriors, we are willing to exchange our tribe's treasure for the freedom of our people. Is this possible?"

"What do you think?"

Looking at the hopeful old mermaid king Kuang, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, and also asked in secret: "If it were you, and my people knew such a big secret of the spirit stone mine, would you be willing to let them go?"

"."

The Mermaid King showed frustration and confusion on his face. After a moment of silence, he asked unwillingly, "Since you have no intention of releasing us, why would you untie our shackles? Aren't you afraid that we will escape?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 436: The Treasure of the Mermaids

Looking at Old Master Kuang, the mermaid king's eyes flashed: "You should know that this seabed is our mermaid territory, even if you are all high-level warriors. But us mermaids, even if we are just beginner warriors, you can't do anything if we want to escape here."

"Haha, then why don't you take your people with you and give it a try."

Treasure? I didn't expect that these mermaids would still have hidden cards after being captured.

But this is normal. After all, no matter which tribe or family it is, there are only a few who don't keep their cards hidden. And since the mermaid king dared to test me like this, he must have another way to escape.

While giving the mermaid king a look of contempt, Old Master Kuang thought to himself: It seems that even if I use the Zhongxin Pill, it is still not enough. After all, it is hard to say whether this Zhongxin Pill is effective for mermaids.

In order to be on the safe side, it would be better to set up a formation at the entrance of the mine. If they were so prepared, and these mermaids could still escape, he would be convinced by them.

After seeing with his own eyes that these mermaids had taken the loyalty pill and sworn allegiance to the Kuang family, Old Master Kuang asked about the mermaids' treasures, and indeed found out that there was another hidden entrance and exit to the mine.

Even so, when he turned around, Old Master Kuang still did not forget to ask Mu Qingyin to set up formations at each entrance of the mine first, and then let the Mermaid King take them to the place where the treasure of their mermaid tribe was stored.

The treasure of the mermaids is in a mountain range under the sea. Once you enter, you will find that there are many caves inside, one inside the other, large and small, countless.

If there is no Mermaid King leading the way personally, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to find the treasure even if they accidentally strayed in.

When they arrived at the place, the Mermaid King opened the mechanism. Old Master Kuang, Mu Qingyin, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong went in. They found that the cave containing the treasure was extremely large and there were countless water-repellent beads in the cave, so there was not a drop of sea water inside.

Looking at the random piles all over the floor, the entire cave is filled to the brim with gold, silver, jewellery, gold, silver and various antiques that can hardly be put away...

Although the Kuang family had no shortage of them, they couldn't help but be shocked when they suddenly saw so many of them piled up in one place.

"...So many, how could there be so many?" Kuang Zhihong was stunned and couldn't help swallowing his saliva as he looked at the Mermaid King.

"These are what our clan has found from the sunken ships on the seabed over the generations. These are not all of them, but only a part of them."

The mermaid king replied respectfully: "This treasure trove is the largest treasure trove left by our mermaid tribe. There are ten caves in total. The three outermost caves are filled with the least valuable things like these. The seven inside are our real treasures."

"hiss......"

"hiss......"

...

Not to mention Kuang Zhihong, Kuang Zhihong and Mu Qingyin, even Old Master Kuang couldn't help but gasp after hearing these words.

After they followed the Mermaid King to open the switches of the other nine treasure caves one by one and saw the other treasure caves, they finally understood that what the Mermaid King said was true.

The first treasure cave they saw that shocked them was indeed the smallest one. The other treasure caves were not only bigger than each other, but the things stored in them were also more precious than each other.

Not to mention the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and curios that can only be used in the secular world, the largest amount of items stored in the other seven treasure caves mentioned by the Mermaid King are spiritual stones.

In addition to spirit stones, there is also a special cave containing various magical weapons and instruments used by cultivators, as well as Qiankun bags, various objects stored in the Qiankun bags that have not been taken out, jade slips, etc.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 437 What is this?

Without caring about anything else, the most important thing for Old Master Kuang, Mu Qingyin, Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong was naturally the cave where the cultivators' Qiankun bags and magic weapons were stored.

After a few people sorted it out, they were very satisfied with the harvest. Although many of the magic weapons were damaged, there were still many intact ones. They even found a lot of low-level puppets they needed and tools for digging spiritual stone mines in the cultivation world.

The magic weapons and instruments already made Old Master Kuang smile from ear to ear. When he saw the low-level puppets that they urgently needed for mining, he was even more delighted. He stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "It's really like someone brought you a pillow just when you're sleepy."

"Grandfather, since we have these low-level puppets, I don't need to keep my two high-level puppets anymore. I'll take them back."

Smiling, Mu Qingyin spoke to Old Master Kuang through secret voice transmission, and then continued, "Since you don't need them for mining, I will keep one of the two high-level puppets for myself, and give the other one to you after I cancel the master-servant contract between it and me. This way, it will be much more convenient for you to set up an array or something in the future if you need a puppet to help you."

Mu Qingyin said this because they obtained quite a few formation plates this time. If they didn't have high-level puppets and wanted to use them, Mu Qingyin would have to help.

But after Mu Qingyin confronted Concubine Jing, she didn't know why she suddenly had a strong intuition that made her feel a sense of crisis, and she felt that she should work harder in her cultivation.

So she decided to go into seclusion after returning, and naturally she could no longer help set up formations in various places at home at any time.

"Okay."

After Mu Qingyin said this, Old Master Kuang thought for a moment and nodded, then he used telepathy to tell her, "From now on, you won't need your high-level puppet to mine, and you won't be able to replenish your spiritual stones at any time. I'll give you all the spiritual stones here, which will be enough for you to use for a while. And you can pick any of these magic weapons and instruments."

He smiled and said, "There are also vulgar things like gold, silver, and jewelry. Although you may not like them, it is interesting to keep them there, right? I will pack some for you later."

"Okay." Mu Qingyin nodded unceremoniously, "Give me all the spirit stones, but don't use the magic weapons. I've already kept enough for my own use from what I got before. There's no point in taking more."

Thinking of the large number of magic weapons and instruments in his mustard seed space treasure house, he could not use them all in a short time. Mu Qingyin naturally would not share the ones he got from Old Master Kuang.

"That's settled then."

Seeing that Mu Qingyin was not being polite to him, Old Master Kuang stopped forcing him. His Qiankun Ring had a huge capacity, so even if the mermaids had a lot of treasures, he could still put everything in it at once.

"This place is good. We can use it to temporarily store spirit stones in the future." After collecting the things in the cave, Old Master Kuang did not take the water-repellent beads. In his opinion, this place was perfect for temporarily storing spirit stones.

Naturally, neither Mu Qingyin, Kuang Zhifeng nor Kuang Zhihong had any objection to his decision.

But when the cave was completely empty, Mu Qingyin found that those water-repellent beads were a little different from her own. She couldn't help but take one in her hand to take a closer look. After seeing this, she couldn't help but look at the Mermaid King in surprise: "This is not a water-repellent bead, what is this?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 438 Return 1

"These are the tears of us mermaids - mermaid pearls." After taking the loyalty pill, the Mermaid King answered Mu Qingyin's question without hesitation.

"Mermaid pearls? Are they the tears shed by you mermaids? Can they actually repel water?"

After hearing the answer from the Mermaid King, not only was Mu Qingyin surprised, but even Old Master Kuang, Kuang Zhifeng, and Kuang Zhihong were also surprised. Obviously, none of them had expected that the tears of the mermaids could have such an effect.

Old Master Kuang couldn't help but stroke his beard, thinking of the spiritual stone mine on Wuya Island, and said with a smile: "Since this mermaid pearl can also avoid water, it will be easy. In the future, we don't have to worry about our people not being able to come down and not having enough manpower to mine."

"That's right."

Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong both nodded excitedly. Although the spiritual stone mine was right there and there were many people working on the mine, it would be better if there were more.

After all, the only way to feel at ease is to dig out the spiritual stones from the spiritual stone mine and put them in your own pocket, right? This trip to the Boundless Sea was too smooth and the harvest was huge. In addition, with the help of the high-level puppet that Mu Qingyin gave to Old Master Kuang, and the assistance of the two brothers Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong, everything was ready in less than two days.

On the return journey, Old Master Kuang no longer used the magic ship, but a magic boat that he had just obtained from the mermaid's treasure cave, which could also be used by warriors.

It was a small magical boat that could only be used in water and could not fly. Since it was small, it could naturally carry only a few people, at most only seven or eight people.

But it's enough.

When they returned, the two thousand warriors they brought with them did not go back with them. Even the two brothers Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong left one person behind, and let Kuang Zhifeng stay in the spirit stone mine deep in their newly acquired Boundless Sea.

The speed of the small magic weapon boat is not inferior to that of the large magic weapon building ship, and it is also very economical in terms of spiritual stones, because it can be driven by both spiritual stones and spiritual beads.

Old Master Kuang was very satisfied with this.

This time, they got quite a few of these magical boats. Not only did Old Master Kuang get one himself, but also brothers Kuang Zhifeng and Kuang Zhihong got one, and they even left one for Kuang Zhihai.

Because Wuya Island needed to communicate with "Fudong", so naturally they left one ship for each place. Even so, there were still quite a few surplus ships.

"These small boats are probably worthless in the world of cultivation, otherwise why would almost everyone have one?"

Thinking about the many magical boats like this in his Qiankun Ring, Old Master Kuang laughed, "What a pity, the treasure that the Mermaid King said is only less than one percent of the treasure their tribe once had.

Their tribe's real treasure disappeared overnight along with a secret place that suddenly appeared in the sea near their tribe."

Old Master Kuang couldn't help but feel sorry for the mermaids when he talked about it.

The reason why the mermaids were able to accumulate so many treasures was because of the appearance of the secret realm. As a result, the number of cultivators appearing near their tribe suddenly increased, and those who died inevitably dropped their Qiankun bags, magic weapons, and mages.

However, after those mermaids had accumulated a large number of treasures with great difficulty, most of them were lost overnight because of the secret realm.

With such gains and losses, even if the mermaids gained the upper hand in the end, it would still make people feel sad whenever they think about it.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 439 Return 2

Looking at Mu Qingyin, Old Master Kuang couldn't help but ask curiously: "Qingyin, you have read many jade slips about the world of cultivation. Do you know how that secret realm suddenly appeared and disappeared?

It disappeared on its own, so how could it devour everything around it? Do you think there is something fishy going on? Could it be that the secret realm has become a spirit?"

The secret realm becomes a spirit?

Mu Qingyin immediately thought of Xiaobao, and then began to think about something.

"Yeah? Why does it feel a little wrong to me when you put it like that?"

Kuang Zhihong also shouted unwillingly, "I think those mermaids are too careless. When the secret realm appeared near their tribe, they should have moved the tribe's treasures.

Otherwise, even if those treasures were not swallowed up by the secret realm in the end, I am afraid they would be discovered by those cultivators who kept going to the secret realm. "

He said with great sorrow: "If those mermaids had paid more attention, wouldn't all the treasures belong to us now? Tsk tsk, it's only one percent. If..."

"I'm asking Qingyin, why do you have to be so nosy?"

Being interrupted by Kuang Zhihong, the distressed old man Kuang felt even more distressed. He couldn't help but interrupt Kuang Zhihong and said unkindly: "Are you afraid that someone will mistake you for a mute if you don't speak?"

"."

Kuang Zhihong was so confused after being scolded that he had no idea what he said wrong. He actually got scolded by the old man for no reason. "Grandfather, Third Uncle, I do know a little about the secret realm. The jade slips that introduce the world of cultivation mention the various legends about the secret realm the most."

It seemed that grandpa was obviously even more heartbroken and angry at what his third uncle said, but his third uncle seemed to be completely unaware of it, which made Mu Qingyin want to laugh.

But she was afraid that if she laughed, her third uncle would lose face, so she had to hold it back and quickly changed the subject by answering her grandfather's question.

As expected, after being interrupted by her, the attention of Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihong was immediately diverted. They only heard Mu Qingyin saying, "Except for a very small number of fixed secret realms, the appearance and disappearance of most secret realms are actually very mysterious.

Like the situation that the mermaids encountered, it is rare for treasures to be taken away when the secret realm disappears, but it does happen. In fact, the mermaids are not too unlucky.

There was even a case in the cultivation world where an entire huge spiritual stone mine, which was large enough to be mined for hundreds of years, disappeared along with the secret realm."

"The spiritual stone mine that can be mined for hundreds of years will disappear along with the secret realm?"

Old Master Kuang and Kuang Zhihong looked at each other in astonishment. Imagine how heartbroken they would be if such a tragedy happened to their own family. Old Master Kuang shuddered violently and quickly shook off the idea. Suddenly, he didn't feel sorry for the treasure of the mermaids anymore.

He stroked his beard and said with some relief: "Fortunately, the mermaid clan's spiritual stone mine is fine."

"Yes, it's too dangerous. The Mermaid King said that their tribe's spirit stone mine...well, now it's our Kuang family's spirit stone mine. This spirit stone mine is not very far from the original secret realm."

Kuang Zhihong patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, fortunately. The owner who lost such a large spiritual stone mine was really unlucky. I'm afraid that his family would instantly decline from a big family overnight and become a small family."

"I don't know about that. The jade slips don't explain it in such detail, but I think Third Uncle's guess makes sense."

Can't a spiritual stone mine determine the fate of a family? Mu Qingyin can imagine without guessing that the family or sect that has lost a super large spiritual stone mine will soon fall.

After all, no spirit stones means no sufficient resource support.

Without resources, wouldn't the cultivators who originally relied on that family or sect have to think of other ways to find new resources for cultivation?

This is what is called when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

Chapter 440: Uneasy

After returning home, Mu Qingyin met her grandmother, distributed some of the gold, silver, jewelry, gold and other items she got from her grandfather to her mother and sister, and then she went into seclusion to practice again.

This time her retreat was a little different from the past.

She claimed that her cultivation had reached a bottleneck and that she would be in seclusion for a longer period of time. After her family members understood this situation, no one expressed any concern.

Nowadays, everyone in the Kuang family has a Qiankun bag. In addition to preparing enough food for cultivation, I don't know who started to prepare a few bathtubs in the Qiankun bag.

Then everyone started to follow suit.

Therefore, it is rare to see anyone in the Kuang family come out in a mess after practicing in seclusion for many days. Nowadays, everyone has the habit of taking a bath from time to time even when practicing in seclusion.

Mu Qingyin likes this habit of her family very much.

In this way, after she entered the mustard seed space to practice, and then took a nice bath in the hot spring before coming out, she no longer had to worry about being suspected.

Mu Qingyin's retreat lasted for three or four months.

On this day, she was practicing in the mustard seed space when she suddenly felt uneasy and could no longer enter the state of selfless practice.

She counted with her fingers, a look of surprise and doubt appeared on her face.

She did not dare to hesitate and took out a magic weapon that could conceal her body and put it on, then left the mustard seed space. After opening the door of her own practice room, she happened to see Mu Jingyan who was about to enter another practice room.

"Sister." Mu Qingyin hurriedly called Mu Jingyan.

"Qingyin, you're out? Have you broken through the bottleneck?" Mu Jingyan also saw Mu Qingyin. She missed him a lot after not seeing him for several months, so she immediately asked with a smile when she heard that.

"Sister, I suddenly realized that something is going to happen that has something to do with me, and I need to go immediately. But it's hard to predict when I'll be back, and I don't have time to go see grandpa, grandma, and mother and explain everything to them. Please tell them for me and tell them not to worry. I'll come back as soon as the matter is settled."

Without bothering to say hello to Mu Jingyan, Mu Qingyin gave these instructions with an anxious look on her face, then immediately slapped a low-level speed talisman on herself, and then used a magic weapon to conceal her body and went straight to Prince Xuanyuan Changxu's mansion.

Mu Jingyan looked at her figure that suddenly disappeared, with horror on her face. She immediately did not care about going into the practice room to practice again, and hurried to check whether the door of the practice room belonging to Madam Kuang and Kuang Guya was open - the Eleventh Prince's Mansion.

"Go back and tell my foster father that I don't want to go to the world of cultivation."

Looking at the cultivator standing in front of him, who seemed respectful when facing him but still couldn't hide the contempt and unkindness towards him in his eyes, Xuanyuan Changxu shook his head.

He concealed all his emotions and said to the visitor calmly, "My foster father mentioned this when he came last time, saying that he wanted me to go to the cultivation world with him.

I refused at that time, and my adoptive father also promised not to force me, and would wait until I had thought it through before deciding whether to go or not. So if you go back and tell him that I don't want to go yet, he will definitely not blame you."

"Young Master, that's not what the Patriarch told me. Before we set off, the Patriarch specifically told me to take you back with me."

Even though Xuanyuan Changxu blocked his way back, the visitor refused to give up and insisted, "Look, I've come here on orders. If you don't follow me back, won't that make it difficult for me?"
