Chapter 467 Meeting the Old Storyteller Again

In Dongfang Mo's mind, the scene of going to Taiyi Taoist Palace with Xing Wu and wanting to enter the gate of the palace emerged.

Back then, they traveled through mountains and ridges, and after several months of journey, they finally arrived at the first ordinary city at the foot of Taiyi Daogong Mountain, Niujiao City.

And in Niujiao City, the two of them, like many mortals who wanted to enter the Taiyi Dao Palace, gathered together to find out how the Taiyi Dao Palace screened disciples.

Coincidentally, there was an old storyteller in the inn back then, who sat on a high stool and spoke happily, slowly explaining the way the Taiyi Taoist Palace selects disciples.

Because Dongfang Mo also made a living by storytelling back then, and the insatiable image of the old storyteller left a deep impression on him.

And the old man with a relaxed expression he saw before, wasn't he the old storyteller back then.

But the old storyteller is clearly a mortal, so why does he appear in the distant East China Sea now?

You must know that even if it was him, he had to go through all kinds of difficulties to get here, so he was shocked before, so he showed a look of seeing a ghost.

Seeing that the figure of the old storyteller had been submerged in the crowd and was about to disappear, Dongfang Mo hurriedly called for a servant, regardless of the price of [-] spirit stones for a pot of spirit wine. In a flash, it disappeared directly from the window.

After standing on the street, he immediately galloped towards the direction where the old storyteller left.

Fortunately, after just a few breaths, he saw a figure with his hands behind his back in front of him.

At this point, he paused, but stopped.Because he suddenly remembered that he didn't know this person well, so if he came forward for no reason, wouldn't it be a little presumptuous.

But he was extremely amazed in his heart, and after thinking for a while, the spiritual consciousness between his brows rolled forward with a "hum", and covered the old storyteller in an instant.

If his behavior was normal, it would definitely be inappropriate, but this place is Nether Island in the East China Sea, so there is no need to worry too much.

The moment his spiritual consciousness enveloped the old storyteller, he saw that the old storyteller's body seemed to be frozen, and then his whole body began to tremble.

The old storyteller turned around slowly, with a trace of fear in his eyes, he saw a slender Taoist priest standing behind him.

"This... this ex... senior, what advice do you have?" He said tremblingly.

Hearing this, Dongfang Mo showed a strange expression.Because he recognized the old man in front of him, he was indeed the old storyteller.

But the strange thing is that at this time, he clearly sensed that Lao Shuoshu was actually a Qi-refining fifth-level monk, not an ordinary person.

"Could it be that he hid his identity as a monk and purposely mixed in with ordinary people?" Dongfang Mo guessed in his mind.

However, he immediately thought, isn't this person just looking for trouble when he is doing this.Moreover, if you want to cultivate at the fifth level of Qi Refining, you want to cross the Western Region to the Eastern Region, and then from the Eastern Region to the East China Sea. This is probably impossible.

Thinking of this, the thoughts in his mind turned quickly, and within a moment, he had two explanations that barely made sense.

One is that the old storyteller had some opportunity to come to the East China Sea from the distant land of the Western Regions.

The second is that this person is not at the Qi Refining stage, and his real strength may be so high that he cannot see through it, and it is very likely that he is a cultivator at the Nascent Transformation Stage.

Regarding these two explanations, Dongfang Mo immediately decided the second one without hesitation.

Because the probability of the first kind of happening is really too small, so small that it is impossible.

But if it is the second type, if this person is a cultivator in the Infant Transformation Realm, why would he hide his strength, and even put on a sincere and fearful expression when he saw himself.

The more he thought about it, the more evil Dongfang Mo felt.

This caused him to swallow the words that had just come to his lips, and then said in a strange way: "It's nothing."

After throwing down these words, he turned around and walked quickly towards the rented cave, leaving only the old storyteller who was puzzled by Monk Zhanger.

But seeing Dongfang Mo's slender figure disappearing into the crowd, the old storyteller came to his senses. Shocked, he immediately trotted away towards the opposite street, as if he had oiled the soles of his feet, and disappeared in an instant.

Dongfang Mo's expression was uncertain along the way, there must be some secret in this old storyteller.But if the other party is really a cultivator at the Infant Transformation Realm, with his cautious personality, he would not provoke him even if killed, which is why he left immediately before.

Soon he returned to the cliff where the cave was located, and saw him waving his hand and shooting a flash of light, which sank into the stone gate of the cave.Not long after, the door slowly opened with a rumbling sound.

Dongfang Mo stepped into it, and saw Ling Yi sitting at the stone table, flipping through half a talisman in his hand.At this time, his face was extremely pale, and the dark spots on his skin became more and more active.

"Huh? Just you?"

Ling Yi watched Dongfang Mo return, and put the half of the talisman close to his chest in the lapel without any trace, then looked behind him, and asked with some doubts.

Hearing his words, Dongfang Mo also looked at him suspiciously.Immediately afterwards, the two of them reflected at the same time, and looked at the stone house where Xia Qingyi was staying at the same time.

Before, Dongfang Mo thought that Xia Qingyi should be with Ling Yi, but now it seems that is not the case.

After Ling Yi opened the stone gate, he saw that Dongfang Mo and Xia Qingyi had disappeared, so he naturally thought that this woman had gone out with Dongfang Mo.

The fact is that neither of them knew that the woman had already left alone.

After thinking about it for a while, the two felt that it was impossible for this woman to leave without telling her, and besides, this place was still on Nether Island, full of dangers everywhere.

Immediately, the two thought of a certain possibility at the same time, and after looking at each other, Dongfang Mo showed a smile that was not a smile, while Ling Yi showed a look of embarrassment.

So Dongfang Mo took advantage of the situation and sat in front of Ling Yi. After suppressing the story of the old storyteller, he only heard him ask:
"Brother Ling, do you have any clues about how to relieve the bitterness in your body?"

Hearing this, Ling Yi smiled wryly and shook his head.

Seeing this, Dongfang Mo sighed slightly in his heart, it seems that this poison is indeed tricky.But he can't do anything, even if he wants to help, he can't help.

At this time, he suddenly remembered what he had heard in the wine shop before, and turned to look at Ling Yi with a serious expression: "Xiaodao actually has a question in his heart that has been pent up for a long time, and he wants to ask Brother Ling to explain it."

"Oh? Brother Dongfang has something to say." Ling Yi said.

"The trail is not covered up anymore, does Brother Ling know the specific reasons for this big battle between the major forces in the Eastern Region?"

"Hehe, it's okay to tell Brother Dongfang about the matter now, because someone provoked it, which led to the war in the Eastern Region." Ling Yi smiled inscrutablely.

"What? Who has this kind of ability? You must know that the major forces are not stupid, so how could they start a war after being provoked by others?" Dongfang Mo was shocked.

"It is precisely because the major forces are not stupid that the monks in the Infant Transformation Realm did not make a move." Ling Yi said again.

Hearing his words, Dongfang Mo narrowed his eyes, and thought to himself that the reason why the battle in the Eastern Territory was in full swing, but there were no monks in the Infant Transformation Realm.Then he continued: "Then who is instigating it?"

Hearing this, Ling Yi hesitated for a while, but finally glanced around, then lowered his voice and said:
"Brother Dongfang, have you heard of the Yaozu?"

"Hiss!" Dongfang Mo's heart was full of turmoil, and he secretly thought that this matter was indeed related to the monster race, so he said again: "The reason why the monster race provoked our human race to fight, does Brother Ling know?"

"This is what Xiaosheng is curious about, so I don't know." Ling Yi said.

And just as Dongfang Mo was about to speak and continue to ask, the stone door suddenly opened with a rumbling sound.

Xia Qingyi, who was wearing a long dress in palace attire, walked in with lotus steps.

"Hey, Brother Ling, Brother Dongfang, you are all here."

Seeing Dongfang Mo sitting at the stone table, the woman quickly took off the cloak on her head, revealing a handsome face.

"where did you go."

Seeing this girl's return, Ling Yi's expression immediately became a little serious, and he looked at her and said lukewarmly.

"I... I went to the island to find out, to see if I can find a way to detoxify Brother Ling." Xia Qingyi paused, and finally said truthfully.

Dongfang Mo had already guessed that this woman would probably answer in this way, so he was not surprised. Instead, he looked at Ling Yi with a playful face.

Ling Yi didn't know whether he avoided Dongfang Mo's gaze intentionally or unintentionally, and continued facing Xia Qingyi: "The island is full of dangers, so let's not be an example."

Hearing this, Xia Qingyi's heart felt warm for no reason, and a little blush appeared on her face.It seemed that the haze of her family's destruction had finally dissipated a little.

"Then, during your trip, did you find any good recipes?" At this moment, Dongfang Mo who was on the side looked at the woman and asked suddenly.

After hearing his words, Xia Qingyi's expression darkened immediately, obviously she didn't gain anything.

But the woman seemed to be thinking of something, and she looked up at the two of them and said, "Although Qing Yi didn't find a way to detoxify Brother Ling, Qing Yi learned that two months later, there will be a huge disaster on Nether Island. Auction. At that time, many treasures will appear at the auction, and maybe Ling's detoxification method can also be found there."

"auctions?"

Dongfang Mo and Ling Yi looked at each other, and then Ling Yi said: "The auction you are talking about should be the trading conference that Nether Island holds every three years."

"Trading conference?"

Xia Qingyi was obviously a little puzzled by this word, but then she continued: "It should be, but Qingyi heard that this auction is different from the previous ones, because of the Eastern Territory War, many casual cultivators will be auctioned in short-term auctions. When the time comes to the East China Sea, the auction will inevitably be unprecedentedly grand."

Hearing what this woman said, Ling Yi didn't speak immediately, but tapped his fingers rhythmically on the stone table, lost in thought.

In fact, he was planning to start with the auction, but after hearing Xia Qingyi's analysis, he was even more looking forward to the auction.

But what he is worried about is that the bitterness on his body is getting deeper and deeper, and he doesn't know how long it will last, after all, the auction will have to wait for two months.

Thinking of this, he said:
"The auction won't start until two months later. You can go and have a look at that time. But the most urgent thing is that Xiaosheng is going to meet someone somewhere. You can stay here. I will be back soon."

With that said, Ling Yi picked up the mask on the table and put it on his face, got up and walked slowly towards the outside of the cave.

"Brother Ling, where are you going?" Xia Qingyi hurried forward and asked.

Ling Yi paused, and then explained: "When I came here, I heard that there was a monk on the island who was good at alchemy, and now I want to try my luck. Although I don't have the hope that he can detoxify me, But if that person is still there, he should have a way to suppress the bitterness in Xiaosheng, because I am afraid that the bitterness will explode completely within two months."

"But you are so weak now, how can Qing Yi let you leave alone." Xia Qingyi showed a concerned look.

"Forget it, Xiaodao has nothing else to do, so let's take a walk with Brother Ling."

Ling Yi was about to say something, but at this moment, Dongfang Mo stood up.

"Brother Dongfang has already taken care of you along the way, how dare you have the audacity to ask you to help me again. Don't worry, no one on this island dares to treat Fairy Youming badly, Xiaosheng will be fine."

I saw Ling Yi waved his hand, signaling him not to use it.

Seeing Ling Yi politely refuse, Dongfang Mo couldn't say anything more, so he sat down again.

"Then let Qing Yi go with you."

But Xia Qingyi immediately stood in front of him, biting her lip and looking at him.

Seeing this, Ling Yi was a little helpless, but finally nodded.

Just as the two of them opened the gate of the cave and were about to leave, Dongfang Mo looked at Ling Yi and suddenly said:

"Brother Ling, Xiaodao actually thinks that you can pay a visit to the Nether Fairy. If you have enough conditions to impress her, I think with her cultivation base of the Infant Transformation Dzogchen, maybe there is a way to deal with the bitterness in you."
