Chapter 362: The Manor Owner

Not knowing the expressions of Mu Jie and others after he left, Nie Yun and his two companions followed Mu Yan and soon came to a wide hall.

Mu Jie informed them, then smiled and walked in front, leading the two companions into the hall.

The hall only had a few tables and chairs for meeting guests, and some simple plants. The decoration was very simple, but the simpler it was, the more majestic it looked, and the more confident the host was.

"Come, please sit down!"

Nie Yun took a casual look and heard a slightly old voice in the middle of the hall. He looked up and saw an old man sitting in the middle with a faint smile on his face.

The old man looked to be in his fifties, with a pair of eagle eyes, thick and powerful palms, covered with calluses, and it was obvious that his skills were extremely powerful.

"Peak of the Yuansheng Realm? Spiritual Level Early Soul!"

After observing quietly, Nie Yun immediately saw the other party's true strength, and then his eyes flashed and all the energy in his body was hidden, so no one could see the problem.

His soul is now in the middle stage of the spirit level, far superior to this old man. As long as he suppresses his energy, the other party will never be able to see it.

"Master, this is Mu Yun and Mu Xia who just arrived at the Ancient City and are planning to come for the trial. The two are the children of the Mu Lian branch!" Mu Yan bowed and introduced the old man above, and then said to Nie Yun and Nie Yun: "This is the master of our Dieyi Villa!"

"Mu Yun (Mu Xia) greets the master!" Nie Yun and Mu Xia stood up.

"Hehe, there is no need for so much courtesy. When the Mu Lian branch left the Ancient City, I was not born yet. Thirty years ago, I met Mu Tao from your branch. I wonder if he is okay now?"

The old man leaned back on the wide chair, his fingers gently stroking the armrest, as if he recalled something, and asked.

This sounded insignificant, like a narration, but it had the flavor of a test. If you answer incorrectly, you will get into trouble.

"Thank you for asking, Master. Mu Tao is my father. He passed away last year due to illness!" Mu Xia stood up quickly, with a look of desolation on her face.

"I'm really sorry, I was rude! When I met him, he had practiced the Thousand Leaf Divine Palms to the extreme and was in good health. How come in less than 30 years, he..." The old man seemed a little unbelievable.

"When my father was practicing, he got acne and it never healed. And maybe Master remembered it wrong. My father didn't practice the Thousand Leaf Divine Palms, but the Xuanqing Iron Palm, and he didn't practice it to the extreme. His strength didn't even reach the Supreme in the end!" Mu Xia said.

"Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong, I'm really sorry!" Hearing Mu Xia's words, the old man nodded secretly and said with a smile: "Now there are still three days before the Holy Spirit Disciple Competition, you can rest here, I don't think Mu'ai Villa dare to come over to make trouble!"

Said this and turned to look at Mu Yan, "Mu Yan, you take them to live in Lixuan Pavilion! By the way, explain the rules of this year's Holy Spirit Disciple Conference clearly, so that they can prepare well!"

"Yes, owner!" Mu Yan nodded, "Please come in!"

"Well!" Nie Yun knew that the purpose of the other party's question just now was to test whether he was a member of the Mulian branch. Mu Xia's answer should have eliminated their vigilance. He nodded immediately and followed Mu Yan out of the hall with Mu Xia.

As soon as the three people left, a shadow flashed in the corner of the room.

"What do you think of these two people?" The owner looked at the shadow.

"I can still see something about that girl, but that boy is very reserved, and his soul has no fluctuations. I don't know what method he used, but I can't even see his specific cultivation!" Ruying frowned.

Ruying is also an old man, with long breaths. He often takes a breath and exhales for a long time. Just by breathing, we can see that his whole body functions have reached the peak. He is definitely a strong man in the second level of the secret realm, the Yuansheng realm!

The Yuansheng realm absorbs Yuansheng particles from the air, changes the body structure, and allows people to form a Yuansheng body. The whole person's body capacity is enhanced, and there will be a qualitative leap in both strength, defense and function.

"I can't see it either! This boy is not simple. Although he is still at the supreme level, his strength may be able to defeat ordinary Yuansheng realm strongmen!"

The owner nodded and said slowly.

"I can't understand that a peripheral disciple has such a talent!" Ruying looked strange.

"No matter what talent he has, since he has come to participate in the Holy Spirit Disciple Competition, he is destined to die. When the time comes, as long as we transfer his potential to Mu Jie, this kid will surely make rapid progress. Our Dieyi Villa will surely become stronger!"

The owner of the villa remembered something, stroked his beard, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, these peripheral children have no sense of belonging to our ancient city. The reason why they are allowed to participate in such a grand event is to transfer their potential. As long as the potential of these children is transferred, our ancient city can continue to prosper, and Lingxi Spring can also produce spring water continuously!"

Ruying also nodded.

"Pay attention to these few days and don't let these two people leave. Once they enter the Holy Spirit Disciple Competition, they can't leave even if they want to!"

The owner of the villa didn't know what he was thinking. There was a cold light in his eyes. He tapped the armrest with his fingers and gave an order.

"Yes!" Ruying nodded, turned around and walked out of the hall, as if to arrange this matter.

………………………………………………………………………………“Transfer potential? It seems that this Holy Spirit Disciple Competition is not that simple!”

Following Mu Yan, Nie Yun frowned as he walked.

After leaving the living room where the village owner was, he quietly opened his eyes and saw clearly the conversation between Ruying and the village owner!

Nie Yun didn't know lip reading before, so even if he saw a conversation, he couldn't tell what the other party said. However, during the month he came to the ancient city, he carefully studied the lip reading technique.

This skill sounds complicated, but in fact it is very simple. Every word coming out of the mouth will have a subtle difference. This difference is difficult for ordinary people to see, but for a special talent like Yaoyan Master, Very simple.

Therefore, now Nie Yun can already tell what they are talking about through their mouth movements.

As soon as he entered the hall, Nie Yun found someone hiding on one side. Even the concealment master couldn't avoid Yao's eyes. How could ordinary concealment escape Nie Yun's eyes?

But even if you see it, pretend you haven't seen it, and use your eyes to observe the specific movements when leaving.

His current soul level is higher than that of the village owner. Even if he keeps observing with his eyes, the other party will not be able to detect it!

Qi can be transferred, power can be transferred, but Nie Yun has never heard that potential can also be transferred, so when he saw the conversation between the village owner and Ru Ying, he felt a little incredible.

"No matter what they do, the purpose of my coming here is to find the Lingxi Spring Water. As long as I find this thing, I will leave quietly. There is no need to get involved too much with these people!"

Unable to figure it out, Nie Yun stopped thinking about it.

Anyway, I came here this time to find a way to steal Lingxi Spring Water. As long as I got the things and turned around, there was no need to mess with these people.

Of course, if the other party really wanted to mess with him, Nie Yun wouldn't mind doing it.

"You two, this is the most noble place where we entertain guests, Li Xuan Pavilion. You can stay here!"

After observing for a while, he found nothing new, so Nie Yun stopped looking and followed Mu Yan. Sanrui soon came to a dutiful courtyard. Mu Yan made arrangements and said with a smile.

"Okay, please trouble Uncle Mu Yan. By the way, the village owner just asked you to tell us about the Holy Spirit Disciples Competition. Can you tell us in detail? We have never been to the ancient city, and we are not familiar with many of the rules here. If you don’t understand, don’t laugh!”

Seeing that Mu Yan was about to leave after making arrangements, Nie Yun quickly asked. If he hadn't known about the Shura appearance that he had kneeled on the floor before, he would have thought that he was an obedient and humbly good young man.

"Actually, it's very simple. You should know what the most precious thing in our ancient city is!" Mu Yan was stunned for a moment before explaining.

"The most precious thing is of course Lingxi Spring!" Nie Yun thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, the most precious thing in our ancient city is the Lingxi Spring. Without this, how could we be so powerful at such a young age! The Lingxi Spring is a good thing, but there is so little spring water that only one drop can be produced a year! Because it is so precious, everyone has differences on the issue of distribution!”

"You also know that our ancient city has a total of five villas, each of which is in charge of its own affairs. Everyone wants to control Lingxi Spring and obtain greater benefits. This leads to conflicts. In order to prevent conflicts from harming the safety of the ancient city, the City Lord's Mansion has decided on a method. , that is, our five major families hold a Holy Spirit Disciple Competition every ten years, and the disciple who wins the first place will be in charge of Lingxi Spring for ten years!

"This kind of competition can also be participated by peripheral children. Competing with each other will not only make the children stronger and stronger, but also solve the distribution problem of Lingxi Spring. Therefore, it has been supported by the five major villas, and it has become a custom over time. , Muyun Daru, you have strength beyond ordinary people as soon as you appear, so this caused panic in Muxiao Villa. After all, they got control of Lingxi Spring last time, and they don’t want to let go! "

Mu Yan explained in detail the origin, purpose and purpose of the Holy Spirit Disciple Competition.

"So..." Nie Yun finally understood.

No wonder that Mu Shang came over to cause trouble just after he found a place to live. It seems that this was done deliberately by Muxiao Villa. If the peripheral disciples are weak, they will be driven away directly. If they are strong, they will report it immediately and let the masters in the village come out to kill and eliminate them. To eliminate the trouble, that’s why the masters from Muxiao Villa arrived so quickly!

It's just that they never dreamed that they would encounter a monster like Nie Yun. The supreme level possesses a soul in the middle stage of the spiritual level, and the combat power is extremely powerful. The infallible masters sent here are all kneeling on the ground at this time, losing face.
