Although Yun Ze said nothing, he had already ruled out Xiao Hanshi in his heart.
Who would want to live like a rat crossing the street, constantly chased by people from the Immortal Mansion?
I still hold a legitimate position in the Immortal Mansion!
He turned to Mu Siyue and tentatively asked, "Senior Sister Mu, I really can't go back to Lone Peak?"
"The situation at Lone Peak is too chaotic. Even if your identity were changed, it wouldn't be suitable for you to return."
Mu Siyue said calmly, "Why don't you come back to Shadow Green Pavilion with me?"
"Enough, your Shadow Green Pavilion is all women. If he goes there, will you help this kid change his gender?" Xiao Hanshi showed no respect to Mu Siyue and said directly.
"...It's just some attire, not truly changing his gender."
After a few breaths of silence, Mu Siyue looked at Yun Ze and said, "Shadow Green Pavilion is considered a mid-tier sect in the Northwest Profound Heaven, with tens of thousands of disciples. It would be suitable for you to hide."
Attire wouldn't work either!
How could I, a dignified man of seven feet, wear women's clothes to cultivate!
Besides, if I went to Shadow Green Pavilion, wouldn't I have to learn to dance every day?
Wearing women's clothes, and then learning to dance...
Hiss!
No! Absolutely not!
Yun Ze's mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Bu Bu.
Bu Bu's expression was indifferent, and she calmly uttered, "Don't look at me. I have my own things to do and no time to take you with me."
"It seems it's just me then."
Yun Xiao spoke for the first time, looking at Yun Ze, "I have some influence in the Tongtian Academy. If you want to study, you can come to the academy.
As long as you don't cause too much trouble, I can protect you."
This was the first time Yun Ze had seen this relative of his, and he was truly considering her suggestion.
Yun Xiao, known to the world as Master Yun, a legendary existence who once entered a thousand paths in a single day during her Foundation Establishment.
When Dan Chenyu entered the secret realm earlier, she hadn't come to see him off. Yun Ze thought he wouldn't meet this legendary relative, but unexpectedly, they met under such circumstances.
She wore a cyan robe, her hair tied up high like a man's, holding a bamboo scroll in her hand. Her face showed no joy or sorrow, exuding a strong scholarly aura, giving a sense of extreme reliability.
However, what made Yun Ze consider was not her demeanor, but her words.
Studying!
Yun Ze had loved reading since childhood. If not for the misfortune at home, he would have wanted to study and take the imperial examinations in the Tangshan Dynasty!
Now that cultivation could also involve studying, why not!
What's more, the method to transform demonic artifacts into spiritual artifacts was only available at Tongtian Academy.
At least for now, Tongtian Academy was indeed his best choice...
"Hmm."
Xiao Hanshi also nodded from the side, "If you want to be studied like a little mouse."
"Xiao Hanshi!"
Yun Xiao suddenly roared, her scholarly aura vanishing instantly, replaced by intense, wild anger. "Say one more word and see what happens!"
"See! Showing your true colors, aren't you?"
Xiao Hanshi didn't dodge, standing in place. "Brother Yun, don't forget, she has made achievements in all thousand paths, but she's only at the Foundation Establishment stage!
She still hasn't broken through to Core Formation, how can she teach you?"
"I'm still researching! Researching! What do you know!"
Yun Xiao roared at Xiao Hanshi like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
Then she turned to Yun Ze, her face full of anticipation. "Little Yun, we are related by blood, aren't we? As relatives, and I am your senior sister, I definitely wouldn't harm you, right?
You have Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. As long as you cooperate with my research, I can definitely develop the most top-tier Core Formation method!
The current Nine Spirit Refinement is too crude. It's definitely not the Core Formation method of ancient cultivators. You have to believe me!"
If nothing else, Bu Bu had also said that the Nine Spirit Refinement method was indeed crude.
But if he wanted to know the top-tier Core Formation method, he needed experiments? Couldn't he just ask Bu Bu directly?
Those thirty-five nascent souls were still in her possession.
Yun Ze subconsciously looked at Bu Bu.
"Don't look at me."
Bu Bu spoke at the opportune moment, "I have my own use for those nascent souls. If you want them, refine them yourself. You have a thousand years of lifespan anyway, which should be enough."
"I..."
Yun Ze was speechless.
This thousand years of lifespan wasn't meant to be used like this!
"Alright, you should come with me then."
Mu Siyue also spoke at this moment, "Neither of these two are reliable. Be careful, they might even cost you your life."
"And you won't cause trouble?"
Xiao Hanshi looked at Mu Siyue. "Don't think I don't know, you've actually been researching the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment method in recent years. When you research Brother Yun, you might not be as professional as Little Yun Xiao."
Mu Siyue frowned, turned to Xiao Hanshi, and said, "One more word, and I'll completely liberate your tongue."
Seeing this, Xiao Hanshi dared not speak. He quickly covered his mouth, only able to keep signaling to Yun Ze, as if he wanted him to follow him.
This was Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!
Who wouldn't want to research it?
If this method were modified and sold outside under his own elder's name, it would be a seventh-tier spiritual artifact plus a set of Heavenly-tier cultivation techniques!
Bu Bu slowly said, "Alright, let him choose for himself. Even if you give them the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment method, you won't be able to replicate it, so don't bother with this effort."
Bu Bu had already said this to everyone during their conversation, but they clearly didn't believe her.
Since you won't say it, I'll research it myself!
However, the others stopped talking. They all looked at Yun Ze, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Yun Ze pondered for a few breaths, and finally looked at Xiao Hanshi, "Brother Xiao."
"Hey! I knew you would choose..."
Before Xiao Hanshi could finish speaking, Yun Ze said, "I am still too young and will not travel outside. Thank you for your kindness."
Xiao Hanshi's face immediately darkened.
This kid, if you're going to refuse, why say so much? Are you teasing me! httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Yun Ze then looked at Mu Siyue and cupped his hands towards her.
Mu Siyue was overjoyed, it seemed he had chosen her.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for taking care of me during this time. However, Shadow Green Pavilion... it would be inconvenient for me as a man to go there."
As soon as this was said, the result was obvious.
Yun Xiao was immediately delighted!
She walked directly to Yun Ze's side, affectionately patted his shoulder, and said, "Young man, you have good taste. From now on, you can call me Little Senior Sister."
"Then thank you, Little Senior Sister, for taking me in."
"Hey! We're family, no need for formalities!"
"Alright, alright. Since that's the case, I'll be leaving then."
Xiao Hanshi glanced at Yun Ze, "Kid, don't forget what I told you."
"I know, Brother Xiao, take care." Yun Ze cupped his hands to bid him farewell.
"Hmph, you ungrateful brat!"
After saying that, Xiao Hanshi untied the wine gourd from his waist, enlarged it with magic, and stepped onto it, flying away.
Mu Siyue thought for a moment, did not leave, but looked at Yun Xiao and the two of them, "Tongtian Academy is in the Southeast Profound Heaven. I'll take you to the nearest teleportation array first."
"Okay!"
Yun Xiao did not refuse. After all, her cultivation was indeed too low, and it would be inconvenient to bring Yun Ze and Dan Chenyu with her.
"Yun Ze, come here, I have something to tell you."
"Okay."
As Bu Bu's voice sounded, Yun Ze walked over. He looked back at Mu Siyue and Yun Xiao, and found that they had consciously stepped back a few paces and sealed their hearing with spiritual power, showing no intention of eavesdropping.
However, whether they could actually hear or not was only known to themselves. With Yun Ze's cultivation, he couldn't detect anything.
"There are two things."
Bu Bu didn't make any preparations and got straight to the point. "The first is that I've told them about the origin of the Immortal Jade, and the existence of those above the Nine Heavens and below the Nine Underworlds.
For a short period, they won't touch the Immortal Jade in your sea of qi."
"However, it's wise to be cautious. If you discover anything suspicious, you can use that last move."
The last move?
Yun Ze was stunned. He had no idea what Bu Bu was referring to as the last move.
Wait!
This sentence... she probably wasn't saying it to him, but to Yun Xiao.
With this so-called 'last move', even if they wanted to do something, they would be wary.
"The second thing is about the Immortal Jade."
Bu Bu spoke again, "Now that the Immortal Jades of Metal, Water, and Wood have been moved, the remaining two Immortal Jades should be appearing soon, or have already appeared.
In the Southeast Profound Heaven, there should be Yan Jue. You can pay attention to Miao Jue's reaction. If there's an opportunity, replace the thing in your Fire Origin with it."
"Okay."
Yun Ze nodded in agreement, then asked, "What about you? Where are you going?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
If Bu Bu intended to tell Yun Ze, she wouldn't have asked him to leave during their previous conversation. "When the time is right, I will come to find you.
I heard from these three about what's happening outside. The cultivation world is likely to undergo great changes soon.
When encountering matters, if you can avoid taking action, don't act. Steady cultivation is the kingly way. As for the Core Formation method...
It's still too early for you. Focus on Foundation Establishment first."
"Hmm."
Yun Ze nodded again. He took out the golden body of Monk Du Zhi from his Sumeru Ring, "This is for you. The thirty-sixth nascent soul should be inside."
"Hmm?"
Bu Bu's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw this corpse. "This thing..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Bu Bu smiled helplessly. "This monk had some cultivation. If I had known, we wouldn't have needed to go out. I could have helped you establish your foundation in that void."
Yun Ze was puzzled and asked curiously, "What do you mean? Isn't this a nascent soul?"
"Yes and no."
Bu Bu explained, "A nascent soul itself can be transformed into an artifact spirit, and the golden body of a high monk is also excellent material for forging artifacts.
Now that the nascent soul has merged into it, and with the nurturing of Di Sha's Wood Origin, this spine has become a third-tier artifact embryo.
If you find some more materials and smelt it, you can obtain a third-tier spiritual artifact, one with an artifact spirit."
Third-tier!
Yun Ze's eyes lit up immediately.
"Take it back, I can't use it anymore," Bu Bu said with a smile.
"Then you..."
Yun Ze put the golden body spine back into his Sumeru Ring, looked at Bu Bu hesitantly for a few breaths, and finally only said, "Take care on your journey, we'll meet again."
"Yes, we'll meet again."
