So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

"You plan to take most of the things away?"

It should be said that she is worthy of being Mu Zhian's intimate little maid. Almost immediately after hearing his words, Wei Mengrou knew his plan.

"Sister Mengrou, have you ever thought about why you are interested in the lottery... I mean, do you know why you care about those spiritual mines outside and want to cut them open to see what's inside?" Mu Zhian deliberately whetted her appetite.

This is something Mu Zhian learned from Yao Meng. Sometimes the fairy likes to whet people's appetite like this when she is in bed, and sometimes it makes Mu Zhian unable to sleep at night.

Now he has learned a little bit of Yao Meng's method, which is now used to whet Wei Mengrou's appetite, and can even be used to whet other descendants of ancient families in the Sword Palace.

Wei Mengrou looked at him with a squint, looking like she didn't want to say anything.

In fact, hidden deep in her eyes was genuine curiosity and confusion.

"Because you have confidence in your luck, you never know what will be cut out of the spiritual mine in the next second. The sudden realization and the unsatisfied feeling when the answer is revealed will make you want to try again."

"What does this have to do with what you are going to do?" Wei Mengrou asked.

"It has something to do with it, of course it has something to do with it."

Mu Zhian said seriously: "If I take away everything in the Sword Palace, it will seem that I am too greedy. My wife... the Palace Master may be a little dissatisfied when she knows."

"So we should not hinder them from finding the immortal fate."

Wei Mengrou raised her eyebrows slightly, and at the first glance, she felt that her young master seemed to be planning something bad.

"So you plan to...?"

"Sister Mengrou, do you know what is the most important thing for a cultivator to upgrade his grade?" Mu Zhian asked a seemingly unrelated question.

Wei Mengrou pondered for a moment and said: "Talent and luck?"

"...But what does this have to do with their search for the immortal fate?" Wei Mengrou continued.

"Those who can enter the Sword Palace are all people with extremely high sword talents, but if you want to obtain superior skills, elixirs and other immortal opportunities in the Sword Palace, you need not talent, but luck."

Mu Zhian raised his hand and quietly unfolded the Eight Desolate Dream Map.

The Eight Desolate Dream Map unfolded silently like a scroll, and a faint light shone.

He turned his head slightly to look at Wei Mengrou and smiled: "In fact, it's not only Sister Mengrou who likes gambling on stones, I like it too...or rather, everyone likes it."

"You want to enter the Eight Desolate Dream Map?" Wei Mengrou asked.

Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Wait for me here, I'll go in and see how Miss Lin is doing, and I'll be back soon."

...

In the Eight Desolate Dream Map.

Lin Keyu lay on the bed and slowly opened her eyes.

She was wearing a pink and white skirt, a waist belt outlined her slender waist, and a trace of fatigue in her beautiful eyes.

She had just refined the Huiyuan Pill, and her originally exhausted spiritual energy was slowly recovering under the Huiyuan Pill, but her consciousness was very heavy. After entering the Eight Desolate Dream Map, she fell asleep in the room created by the owner of the Eight Desolate Dream Map.

To be fair, if she were dressed in plain clothes and light makeup, although it would be very attractive for a little beauty like Lin Keyu, it would still lack her own characteristics.

And this pink and white dress, coupled with the necklace hanging on her chest, showed her delicate collarbone and white jade neck, adding a bit of elegance to her ladylike posture.

The white bra was faintly visible under the curtain.

Under this gentle and lovely appearance, the moisture in her eyes also added to her weakness, making her enough to be among the most beautiful.

As if she remembered something important, Lin Keyu subconsciously touched her clothes, and looked down again. After confirming that there was no sign of disorder, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

"It seems that your spiritual energy has recovered most of it?"

The curtain was suddenly gently lifted by someone, and a gentle voice of a young man came from the side, which made Lin Keyu subconsciously look up. A young man wearing a black and gold robe and with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes was standing beside the bed, with a sunny smile on his face.

Mu Zhian looked Lin Keyu up and down again, and then showed a faint smile: "It seems that there should be no problem."

Lin Keyu only reacted at this time, propped up her body and sat on the bed, and said softly: "Thank you for your help this time... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have..."

If it weren't for Mu Zhian this time, Lin Keyu's ancestral artifact fragments would probably have been taken away by Gan Chen.

After that, even if Lin Keyu encountered an accident in the Sword Palace, there would be no evidence. No one would know who had done the harm to her, and they would only think that she had encountered an accident in the Sword Palace.

When thinking of this, Lin Keyu looked at the young man in front of her with gratitude and some special feelings hidden in her eyes.

Even though Lin Keyu's talent is among the best in Dongzhou, after all, she is just a young girl who has not experienced much of the world and fantasizes about some beautiful pink romances... And Mu Zhian's appearance alone can definitely attract the love of little girls and even queens, plus the two met in such a special situation.

This naturally made Lin Keyu have a better impression of Mu Zhian.

"What I hate most in my life is sinister villains, Miss Lin, you don't have to be so polite."

Mu Zhian didn't seem to notice some special emotions in the girl's eyes, and just smiled gently: "Look at the other two people who attacked you, are they the two of them."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. In the room, an image appeared silently in his field of vision.

In the image, two handsome-looking young men were desperately trying to escape with their swords in the Eight Desolations Dream Picture. Behind them, there was a rather terrifying-looking creature. Chasing the two.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the creature is the evil god of the Southern Wilderness.

Everything in the Eight Desolations Dream Picture is controlled by Mu Zhian, and both of them were seriously injured. It is naturally difficult to escape from the Eight Desolations Dream Picture at this time.

Lin Keyu glanced up subconsciously, his eyes slowly opened wide, he turned to look at Mu Zhian and said, "Did you catch them?!"

Her eyes were full of disbelief.

A third-level god-refining monk actually killed two god-refining monks who were higher than him at the same time...?

Then, she quickly looked at Mu Zhian blankly: "Why would you help me like this?"

Logically speaking, it is not easy for the other party to secretly send her back to Xuanyin Palace. After all, the other party is an ancient force like Qianyuan Pavilion in Dongzhou. If she is offended, ordinary monks may not be able to take her away.

In the end, the other party not only saved her, but even killed the young master of Qianyuan Pavilion, Qian Chen, and Qian Chen's cousin... Wasn't he afraid of offending Qianyuan Pavilion?

Mu Zhian raised his hand and gently brushed away Lin Keyu's loose hair, and smiled: "Do you need any more reasons to save people?"

"What's more, she is such a lovely girl like Miss Lin."

Lin Keyu's pretty face turned red and she retracted her gaze as if she was electrocuted.

The little beauty is indeed easier to capture than the big shark... Mu Zhi'an sighed secretly and said warmly: "After this, I will hand them over to Xuanyin Palace and let your father handle it on his own."

He paused and continued: "But before that, I plan to give you a gift of immortality."

"Xianyuan...?"

Lin Keyu slowly raised his head and looked at the sunny smile on the handsome young man's face. He opened his mouth slightly and whispered something.

…

After sending Lin Keyu away, Mu Zhian looked at Wei Mengrou, who was waiting for him silently in the main hall, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Sister Mengrou, I will take you to cut off all the spiritual mines."

Wei Mengrou raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Aren't you going to leave some for others?"

Last time in the Spirit Dragon's Cave, Mu Zhian managed to leave two pieces of luck for people, but this time he didn't even intend to leave one, which surprised the maid.

Mu Zhian shook his head: "I don't like to make things so desperate. The immortal fate they should find should still be found."

Under Wei Mengrou's confused gaze, Mu Zhian looked back at the maid in the yellow skirt: "It's just that we need to package it more carefully."

"After all, only what you work hard for can make you happy."

…

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A group of talented monks were walking in this Sword Palace at this time. Ever since the master of the Sword Palace asked everyone to find their own immortal fate, they had scattered around the Sword Palace. However, even after so long, they had never been there. Any skills or even pills are found in the Sword Palace.

Nearly an hour later, the monks who had been scattered all over the place met unknowingly and were walking together on a remote path in the forest.

"There are too many caves in this place. If we follow the usual method, I'm afraid we won't gain anything before the Sword Palace disappears." After a moment of silence, a monk finally couldn't help but speak.

"There must be some immortal destiny in the Sword Palace, but whether we can get it or not depends on my luck." Another monk next to him frowned, but his face didn't look good either.

Entering the Sword Palace this time originally made them very happy, because it was rumored that there was a first-grade skill created by the Sword Emperor hidden in the Sword Palace.

Now that the Sword Emperor has been reborn, it is unrealistic to get the bronze sword in her hand, but... that first-grade technique is probably still hidden in the Sword Palace.

If you can get it, it will be a worthwhile trip.

Just now...

Not to mention the first-grade skills, even ordinary pills and medicinal materials were not found.

"Mu Zhian is gone too." Someone suddenly said, and he realized that the Liang Yi Sect disciple who had been following everyone just now had disappeared.

"I remember that the daughter of the master of Xuanyin Palace also entered the Sword Palace, but I haven't seen her yet..." Someone suddenly said.

"If she were here, she might be able to detect some magical connections."

Lin Keyu had undergone a luck test before, and her luck was an extremely glamorous red color, which also meant that her luck was naturally stronger than that of most monks.

If she is here, it is very likely that you can get some immortal fate.

And at that time, they could also get something later...

Just at this time, a graceful figure was flying towards him with a sword not far away. Everyone present was at a high level. Naturally, they noticed the person behind them and couldn't help but look back.

"Miss Lin, where have you been before? I didn't see you." A monk who was familiar with Lin Keyu's eyes lit up and he immediately said hello.

Lin Keyu was wearing a fluttering skirt and had a compassionate temperament. In the wind, the skirt clung to her graceful body.

She lightly jumped down from the flying sword with a reserved smile on her face: "I was accidentally trapped in a cave in the Sword Palace. Fortunately, I managed to escape in the end."

"I see..." No one had doubts, and even if some people still had some doubts, they never asked.

After all, what is more important right now is the immortal fate of Sword Palace.

A few people were walking along a bottomless path in the mountain forest. Under the lush green branches and leaves, they could still faintly hear the chirping of insects and birds. It was completely different from the winter outside. This place was like a completely different world.

After nearly half an hour, they walked out of the trail and saw a waterfall. In front of the waterfall, there were spiritual minerals of different colors everywhere.

Are there so many spiritual mines here? !

Everyone just glanced at each other and couldn't hold it any longer. They each found a piece of spiritual mineral of different shapes and planned to cut it open.

However, as soon as the palm touched the spiritual mine, it was separated by an invisible formation, making it difficult to reach it.

"The spiritual mines here are also restricted by the formation and cannot be touched." Ye Yu frowned slightly, feeling a little dissatisfied.

You can't touch this or that. How can there be any immortality in this sword palace?

At the same time, several young geniuses on the side also hit a wall and could not reach the spiritual mine with their hands.

Just as everyone was secretly frowning, Lin Keyu behind him let out a cry of surprise. Everyone turned around to look, and saw that the spiritual mine that Lin Keyu had just touched had been cut open, and inside the spiritual mine. Yes, it is a thin booklet.

There was a charming red halo on the booklet, with three big characters printed on it: Sword of the Three Realms.

Second grade technique!

Everyone couldn't sit still all of a sudden, their eyes were blazing, staring at the second-grade skill in Lin Keyu's hand.

"Miss Lin, why can't we touch the spiritual mine but you can?" Even Ye Yu couldn't sit still and stared at Lin Keyu's charming profile.

Lin Keyu smiled softly and did not hide anything: "Injecting spiritual energy into the spiritual minerals will unlock the formation. Each spiritual mineral needs to be injected with spiritual energy."

"I tried it before, but I couldn't break this formation. Do you have any other tips? I hope Miss Lin can give me some advice." Someone immediately asked humbly.

Generally speaking, if you want to break the formation, you need to find the eye of the formation, and then use spiritual energy to dismantle the formation.

However, the formations in the Sword Palace are naturally not something that monks in the God Refining Realm can unravel.

At this moment, none of them were able to unlock the formation on the spiritual mine, but Lin Keyu did it. This naturally made people care...

If Lin Keyu can unlock the formation of one spiritual mine, doesn't it mean that she can unlock all the formations of hundreds of spiritual mines here?

However, with so many people present, if she wanted to eat so much food by herself... I'm afraid she wouldn't have the ability.

Lin Keyu obviously knew this, so he explained: "The spiritual energy in our bodies cannot unlock the formation eyes in the formation, but I just thought of another method... If spiritual energy doesn't work, what about the spiritual stones?"

"Spiritual stone...?"

"I have heard that in some special blessing caves, the monk's own aura cannot be used to unlock the formation. However, the aura in the spiritual stone is naturally formed by heaven and earth, so it is special and can unlock the formation." A monk He couldn't help but say, his eyes lit up slightly.

This method was something they never thought of at first!

Everyone looked at each other, then immediately took out a valuable spiritual stone and poured it into the formation eye.

Ye Yu also took out a spirit stone worth five thousand, and as the spirit stone was poured into the formation eye, he was immediately surprised to find that the formation seemed to be much weaker than at the beginning!

"This method is indeed feasible!" The monk's excited voice also came from beside him.

If it was ordinary stone gambling that existed in the outside world, they would naturally not care.

But you must know that Lin Keyu just cut out the second-grade skills in the spiritual mines, and maybe even the first-grade skills are also hidden in these spiritual mines!

As if they were afraid that the first-level skills would be cut out by others first, several descendants of the ancient family present immediately took out the spirit stones. After finding the formation eye on the spirit mine, they poured the spirit stones into it.

Judging from their estimates, about 50,000 spirit stones can unlock the formation of a spirit mine.

This price is very expensive. Even if they are the descendants of the ancient family, they cannot get more than one million spirit stones.

But if it's for the first-level skills, no matter how high the price is, it's worth it.

Lin Keyu silently took out the second blood drop stone, which was only the size of a fingernail, and poured it into the formation eye of a spiritual mine.

Compared to other monks who suffered from physical pain, she actually felt nothing.

It's not that she doesn't care about spirit stones, but Mu Zhian promised her something just now...

"After that, Miss Lin's spirit stones will be returned in full, so you don't have to worry about the spirit stones. You can use as many spirit stones as you have. I will also lend you the one million spirit stones here... "

Thinking of what Mu Zhian said to him at that time, and his warm smile, Lin Keyu still feels weird in his heart.

She didn't know what that person wanted to do, but he was her savior. Since he saved her, there was no reason to harm her.

When thinking of this, Lin Keyu squatted in front of one of the spiritual mines with his hands and knees, and then silently took out fifty thousand worth of spiritual stones again and injected them into the formation eye...

…

In front of a dim hall, Mu Zhian silently counted the spirit stones that kept appearing in front of him, and then glanced at Wei Mengrou standing beside him, and said: "Sister Mengrou, come and help count how many spirit stones you can earn this time, I'm not very good at counting."

"What did you say to that girl just now?" Wei Mengrou looked at the formation in front of Mu Zhian with a strange look in her eyes, and couldn't help asking.

From the beginning, a large number of various special spirit stones kept appearing in the formation in front of Mu Zhian, and each one was conservatively estimated to be worth 50,000 spirit stones.

Although it was unclear what happened, it was clear that his young master must have secretly done something with the formation of the Sword Palace.

After all, the permission of the Sword Palace has been shared with Mu Zhian, and he also has the control of the formation of the Sword Palace.

"It's just to give her a chance to become an immortal... Of course, she is also needed to play the role of cracking the secret of the Sword Palace's spiritual mine."

Mu Zhian looked at the special spiritual stones that kept pouring out of the formation, turned his head to look at the graceful figure of the yellow-skirted maid, and smiled: "I just said it, Sister Meng Rou."

"Everyone loves gambling on stones the most."
