Chapter 779 Helping Hands
Outside Hongyan City, there stood a girl in plain clothes, who looked very ordinary.
The girl looked anxious, looking into the distance from time to time, as if she was waiting for someone.
Two bright lights came from far away and flew over in an instant.
Seeing the person clearly, the girl couldn't help but smile. Just as she was about to greet him, she suddenly saw the face of another person and her expression suddenly changed.
Lin Mu!
The owner of Piaomiao Fairyland.
The girl in plain clothes turned around quickly and pretended not to know Xing Qing.
This girl was Xing Qing's sister, Xing Yu.
Before Xing Qing left, she repeatedly warned her that she could only recognize each other if no one was following her, and she must not recognize each other if someone was following her.
There were only two of them left in the Xing Clan, and one of them had to survive no matter what.
"Are you Xing Yu?" Lin Mu flashed and landed beside Xing Yu, smiling and asked.
"No, I'm not." A trace of panic flashed across Xingyu's eyes, and she quickly shook her head to deny, "You recognized the wrong person."
Such an embarrassing look made Lin Mu feel funny.
As he guessed, Xingyu was indeed much simpler, and her cover-up was so flawed.
"Your sister has told me the whole story, so don't deny it." Lin Mu said with a smile, "I saw through your shape-changing technique at a glance."
Xingyu's face turned pale, and she threw herself into Xingqing's arms, choking and saying, "Sister, are we going to die?"
Xingqing glared at Lin Mu fiercely, and quickly patted Xingyu on the back, comforting her, "No, we won't die."
Lin Mu couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling embarrassed.
He was clearly following Xingqing's instructions. As soon as they met, he was full of smiles and said every word was true. Why did this little girl suddenly cry?
He really couldn't imagine how Xingyu escaped. It was really difficult for Xingqing along the way.
"Didn't you say your sister loves to laugh?" Lin Mu said helplessly, "Why does she burst into tears as soon as we meet?"
"If you scare her like this, she will die soon. If it were you, would you be able to laugh?"
Lin Mu was speechless and had no way to defend himself. He quickly said, "I really didn't mean it."
"You did it on purpose!" Xing Qing said unhappily.
Xing Qing quickly turned around and comforted Xing Yu, telling her the whole story. Only then did she burst into laughter.
Then, Xing Yu waved her hand, and her face changed and returned to her true appearance. She was just like her sister, both of them were as beautiful as a fairy, but she was even more innocent, with a smile showing her teeth, which made people feel infinite love.
"It's really not easy for you to escape all the way." Lin Mu sighed, "You are all stunningly beautiful. Fortunately, you have a unique shape-changing technique, otherwise you would be in trouble."
Xing Qing nodded silently.
"It's all right now. You guys just follow me from now on. I can't say anything else. As long as I'm alive, no one can touch you." Lin Mu said, "Now I've joined the Star Clan. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."
"I want 100 million spirit stones." Xing Yu said immediately.
"What are you talking about? We don't need spirit stones now." Xing Qing said hurriedly.
Lin Mu suddenly realized that Xing Qing had said that she urgently needed 100 million spirit stones before.
"Sister risked her life for the 100 million spirit stones. Why don't you need them now?" Xing Yu asked, puzzled, blinking.
Lin Mu couldn't help but get interested, and asked hurriedly: "What do you need this amount of spiritual stones for? Although I am not a wealthy man, I can still take out a mere 100 million spiritual stones. Can you tell me about it?"
Xing Qing nodded: "The thing is, we are fleeing all the way, which is not a long-term solution after all, so I plan to put Xing Yu in a super sect, hiding his identity, practicing hard, and then seek revenge in the future when he has learned something."
"This is a good idea." Lin Mu agreed, "Is there any condition required to enter this sect?"
"If you become an ordinary disciple, the risk is too great, and there are too many people to contact. Xing Yu is too simple, and it is easy to reveal his whereabouts and be used by those who are interested." Xing Qing said, "So I specially found a middle-stage fusion elder of this sect and asked him to accept Xing Yu as a true disciple, but he put forward conditions."
"Tell me about it." Lin Mu asked curiously.
"He said he rarely accepted disciples, but Xingyu's talent moved him. However, he is not a kind person. He will not do anything that is not beneficial." Xingqing said, "So he asked me for 300 million spirit stones. All the treasures and spirit stones on me, put together, are only worth 200 million spirit stones, still short of 100 million."
"100 million spirit stones, although it is not a small amount, but with your ability, you should be able to earn it quickly." Lin Mu continued.
"But he only gave me a two-month deadline." Xingqing said, "If I can't come up with 300 million spirit stones in two months, I have only one way to go."
"What way?" Lin Mu asked.
Xingqing blushed and didn't say anything.
"If you trust me, if you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell me. If I can help, I will never refuse." Lin Mu said hurriedly.
Xing Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said sadly: "This mid-stage fusion cultivator has been stagnant in his cultivation. According to him, he has encountered a bottleneck. If he wants to break through, there is only one way except to spend a lot of money to buy rare elixirs."
"What method?" Lin Mu asked.
"He asked me to change his practice method. After my cultivation is promoted to the peak of the Return to Void Stage, I will be his dual cultivation furnace, and practice with him to help him break through the bottleneck." Xing Qing said with difficulty.
"Damn it!" Lin Mu was furious.
Xing Qing's talent was high, and he was often amazed. She had a bright future. In the future, she would not be lower than that mid-stage fusion cultivator. She actually fell to the point of being a dual cultivation furnace for others.
It was really infuriating.
"You didn't agree to him?" Lin Mu asked hurriedly.
"Of course not." Xing Qing felt a little happy when she saw Lin Mu was so nervous, "So I'm trying to collect spirit stones."
"So if you can't collect all the spirit stones, you will agree to his conditions?" Lin Mu asked.
"I don't know." Xing Qing said in embarrassment, "I don't like this person very much, but for Xingyu, maybe I will agree to him. We have encountered several chases before, and the dangers are simply unforgettable. I don't want to experience such things again, so this is an opportunity that I must seize no matter what. As long as Xingyu is settled, I will go out alone to explore and track down the real culprit behind the scenes, and it doesn't matter."
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years." Lin Mu said, "You all have great potential. If you want revenge, it's never too late even a thousand years. Why are you so anxious? It's easy to get yourself involved."
Xing Qing nodded repeatedly: "So now I have changed my mind and will no longer ask this mid-stage fusion cultivator."
Lin Mu couldn't help but smile and said, "That's great. Xingyu is so innocent. Even if you gather all the spirit stones and hand her over to this mid-stage fusion cultivator, no one can predict what will happen in the future."
Xing Qing thought about this and felt a little scared.
If it was really as Lin Mu said, wouldn't she have personally sent Xingyu to the fire pit?
"You went to that mid-stage fusion cultivator just to find a place for Xingyu to stay?" Lin Mu asked, "If so, there is no need to go to such trouble. You will be safe if you follow me in the future."
"Are you as strong as a fusion cultivator?" Xingyu looked at Lin Mu and couldn't help asking.
"Not yet." Lin Mu smiled, "but it won't be long before it's almost there."
"Because of the Piaomiao Fairyland?" Xingqing asked.
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
Thinking of the Piaomiao Fairyland, Xing Qing reacted immediately and said hurriedly: "The reason why I found a master for Xing Yu is not only to ensure her safety, but also to let her learn some powerful skills. We fled too hastily this time and didn't have time to bring out the advanced skills of the clan."
"This is easy to do." Lin Mu smiled, "I have some eighth-grade skills, which should be enough for you to practice to the fusion stage, and your "Star Refining God Art" can also be practiced to the fusion stage. With mutual support, your future achievements will definitely be much higher than ordinary practitioners. If you find the skills after "Star Refining God Art" based on clues, your future achievements will be limitless!"
"I am completely relieved if you say that." Xing Qing couldn't help but smile.
"Then it's settled." Lin Mu nodded with satisfaction. This scam incident finally ended perfectly.
Next, he will start to deal with the mess left by Xing Qing.
He thought that the million jade slips would be sold smoothly soon, but he didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns.
"In that case, I will go find that mid-stage fusion cultivator and decline his kindness." Xing Qing said, "You take Xing Yu away first, and we will meet in Qianjin City later, how about that?"
Lin Mu was about to nod in agreement, but suddenly something happened in his mind, and he couldn't help but say, "I think it's not necessary."
"What's wrong?" Xing Qing couldn't help but ask.
"Now that things have come to this, since you don't want Xing Yu to worship him as a master, he won't lose a bit." Lin Mu said, "You shouldn't have given him the spirit stone yet?"
"Not yet." Xing Qing said.
"Then there's no need to meet him in person, just send a letter directly by flying sword." Lin Mu suggested.
"What do you mean?" Xing Qing asked.
"I won't comment on this person's character. I'm worried that if you reject him, he won't get any benefit, and will get angry and attack you." Lin Mu told the truth, "Such a powerful cultivator, even I can't confront him head-on now. If he doesn't care about his face and attacks you forcefully, the situation will be out of control. Instead of that, it's better to send a letter by flying sword, and don't make any more trouble."
"You are more thoughtful." Xing Qing praised, "I almost got carried away by joy. Based on my understanding of him, this is very likely to happen."
Immediately, Xing Qing listened to Lin Mu's words and sent a letter by flying sword, but did not go there in person.
Afterwards, Lin Mu took Xing Qing and Xing Yu to meet Xu Jiao and Hua Jin.
