Chapter 755 Great Harmony in the World
Billions of years ago, the world was in chaos.
In the chaos, the Great Dao was born, and the Dao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things.
It was in this chaos that, after countless thousands of years of gestation, nine innate spiritual plants of different forms were born before any living creatures.
These are the nine innate spiritual roots!
The Nine Palaces Immortal Tree that Guitou mentioned is one of them.
The Nine Turns Back to Heaven Fruit is said to be the fruit of the Nine Palaces Immortal Tree. It has a heaven-defying effect. Ordinary people can ascend to heaven in broad daylight after taking it.
Of course, that's just a legend...
"The mysterious fruit you just mentioned should not be the Nine-turn Return to Heaven Fruit, otherwise, with this little guy's qualifications, he would never dare to take two in a row! But the small tree that produced the fruit may have some origins with the legendary Nine Palaces Immortal Tree..."
"Could it be the germination of a seed of the Nine-turn Return to Heaven Fruit?"
"..., hard to say! It may also be the offspring that has bred for several generations!"
"Huh..., if I had known this, I should have dug up the small tree with its roots!"
"You kid! What are you thinking? Even if it's not the real Nine Palaces Immortal Tree, how can you get involved with such a heaven-defying spiritual plant? Be careful to get struck by lightning when you go out!"
"Isn't it not dug? By the way! May I ask the old ghost: where are the other innate spiritual roots?"
"Tsk! I don't bother to pay attention to you!"
Pouting, the ghost head disappeared.
"I'm just saying that! If you don't remember, just say you don't remember. I won't despise you!"
After complaining to the air, Xiao Mian looked at Qing Jing, who was wrapped like a red lantern, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry - I just hope the little guy wakes up soon!
Just thinking about this, Xiao Mian raised his eyebrows and took out the Beidou Si Nan Pan.
Seeing that it was Xie Ying who was contacting him, Xiao Mian was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered a possibility and quickly answered Xie Ying's call.
"Brother? What do you want from me?"
"Brother, I want to ask you for a favor. I wonder if you dare to answer it?"
Straight to the point, Xie Ying stated his purpose, that is, to ask for help!
After hearing this, Xiao Mian was even more certain.
Just as he knew that Xie Ying was a fat fox through and through, Xie Ying also knew who he was.
Now that he took the initiative to speak, there must be something that their Xie family could not do, but had to let Xiao Mian do it for them.
Maybe I can even make some money...
"What are you talking about, brother? As long as it's your business, I will go through fire and water..."
"Stop! Stop! It's not my business!" Xie Ying interrupted Xiao Mian's long speech, paused, and sighed: "It's Chi Lianyun's business!"
"Brother Yun? What happened to Brother Yun?"
"He... Alas! Trapped by love, he is trapped in his own cocoon!"
At that moment, Xie Ying told Xiao Mian about Chi Lianyun's recent situation. Xiao Mian naturally knew it clearly a long time ago, but he still pretended to be stupid.
"Life and death contract? Humph! The Jin family is too bullying!"
"Who said it wasn't? I know you are a man of justice and hate to see such injustice. I wonder if you can help me this time..."
"How? You don't want me to go to the Jin family mansion alone and challenge the quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator Jin Weili?"
"How is that possible? Are you the kind of person who would put the life and death of your brothers aside?"
"That's what I think! You won't let me take risks, right?"
"This... is a little risky. A little risk is always okay. As the saying goes, a man can’t get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse can’t get fat without night grass. Brother, you know it! "
"Hehe! Brother, you want me to help your future brother-in-law?"
"Hehe!"
"Don’t smile at me! Name your price!"
"..., brother, you change your face too quickly!" Having said that, when Xie Ying heard that Xiao Mian agreed, he quickly said: "One million Zhongling, how about it?"
"Ah--, it's getting late and the dew is heavy, I'm going to sleep!"
Yawning, Xiao Mian also pretended to stretch.
"Don't worry! Don't worry! How about adding some more?"
"To tell you the truth! I don't lack spirit stones at all!"
"Then..., magic weapon? Martial arts? Beauty?"
"Beauty!" Xiao Mian interrupted Xie Ying's nonsense unhappily and changed the subject: "Although Brother Yun and I are just casual acquaintances, we are of the same mind after all. If I didn't know that he was in trouble, it would be fine. Now that I know, I will naturally help him. As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. I have to give Sister Chi Lian face!"
"What do you want, kid?"
"No!" As soon as the words came out, without waiting for Xie Ying to question, Xiao Mian made his meaning clear: "But brother, you must remember: you owe me a huge favor!"
"..., or should we settle it with spirit stones?"
"No! Brother, you also said that I am the most public-spirited and righteous brother. I despise buying and selling friendship with spirit stones and I like to let others owe me a favor the most!"
"..., you are so cruel! If anything happens to Chi Lianyun, Fatty will blackmail you for the rest of his life. You can handle it yourself!"
Xie Ying was quite angry and hung up the call first.
Holding the Beidou Si Nan Plate, Xiao Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This damn fat man!
Is there anyone who begs for help like this?
But then he thought, Chi Lianyun has long been out of danger, and now he is probably in love with Jin Weili, why does he need Xiao Mian to save him?
If Xiao Mian really went to save him, he would have to face the joint beating of Chi Lianyun and Jin Weili, right?
Obviously, Xie Ying only knew that Chi Lianyun went to the Jin family like crazy tonight, and Jin Weili chased Chi Lianyun all the way, so he went to Xiao Mian in desperation.
But he didn't know that everything was written and directed by Xiao Mian himself, and he was in control.
It was rare for Xie Ying to owe him a favor, so Xiao Mian was thinking about how to blackmail him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xie Ying contacted Xiao Mian again.
Fatty! Didn't you regret it?
"Brother! I'm just about to rescue Brother Yun, are you done yet? What if I delay the time and Brother Yun gets hurt? Will you be responsible?"
"..., I was so angry with you just now! I forgot to tell you: five days later, a rare treasure will appear at the auction - the full moon starfish!"
"Oh? I know! Thank you for your advice!"
"You kid! That Jin Weili is so powerful that even Brother Yun can't be her opponent. Be careful, otherwise no one will collect your body!"
"Ah! Fat fox, no good words!"
Xiao Mian cursed and laughed, and cut off the contact.
Although Xie Ying's words were vicious, it also showed that he still cared about Xiao Mian.
But if Xie Ying knew that Xiao Mian had no intention of taking action at all, but cheated him of a huge favor in vain, I wonder if he would wish Xiao Mian dead?
Tightening his mind, Xiao Mian thought of the past.
After handing the brand stone with the images of Huo Long'er and Huo Feng'er to Xuancao, Xiao Mian told Xuancao to go around and try her luck in Tianxia City.
After all, Xuancao also needs to experience, and it is impossible for her to stay in Yuntian Pavilion all the time.
For the next five days, Xiao Mian stayed indoors.
Five days later, Xiao Mian walked out of Yuntian Pavilion at night.
According to the information Xie Ying sent from Beidou Sinan Plate, Xiao Mian quickly found the venue of the auction - Datong Hall in the center of Tianxia City!
After paying a considerable amount of spiritual stones, Xiao Mian easily sneaked into Datong Hall.
However, when he wanted to participate in the highest-profile Yuanying Patriarch special of this auction, he was stopped by a beautiful attendant of the auction management.
"Sorry! Fellow Daoist! Although you are already a high-level Jindan cultivator, you are still not able to attend the auction of the Yuanying Patriarch!"
"I..."
"I'm very sorry!"
Without waiting for Xiao Mian to argue, the attendant expressed his apology more respectfully.
This made Xiao Mian angry, and he also secretly hated Xie Ying for not doing things properly.
At this moment, a soft voice floated over.
"Isn't this the third girl of the Hu family? Why? The internship of the business school this month is to let you come to the auction as volunteers?"
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard the words, and he had already judged the identity of the person.
Sure enough, when he looked back, he saw Xie Ying's third uncle Xie Bao, who was coming slowly.
The beautiful attendant called "the third girl of the Hu family" by Xie Bao had eyes full of twinkling stars, staring at Xie Bao who was getting closer and closer.
"Thank... Teacher Xie! Why are you here too?"
"I'm here to pick up a junior!"
"Hmph! What junior is so arrogant? You've even asked Teacher Xie to come and pick me up in person? Do you understand the order of seniority? Do you understand respecting teachers? Do you understand..."
Miss Hu San just said this, Xiao Mian's face was full of laughter and tears.
"What..., Miss Hu San?"
"Hmph! Did you also call Miss Hu San? I say you're such a jerk! People have told you that Jindan cultivators can't participate in the Yuanying auction, why don't you leave? So annoying! I finally get to spend some time alone with Teacher Xie..."
"..., it seems that you, Teacher Xie, are here to pick me up!"
"You?"
"Yes! I'm here to pick up this nephew Xiao!"
Under the stunned gaze of Miss Hu San, Xiao Mian followed Xie Bao and walked into the area dedicated to Yuanying ancestors to participate in the auction - the Supreme Pavilion!
Only Miss Hu San was left at the scene, looking at the backs of the two...
At this time, Xiao Mian also had mixed feelings.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Mian felt something was wrong.
If you say that Miss Hu San was looking down on others, it doesn't seem to be the case.
Before Xie Bao appeared, although she stopped him resolutely, she didn't say anything excessive; but as soon as Xie Bao appeared, she wanted him to get out as soon as possible. Could it be that the little girl was interested in Xie Bao, a middle-aged uncle?
Speaking of which, Xiao Mian didn't really notice Xie Bao's appearance when he took a quick glance that day.
Seeing him today, the third uncle of the Xie family is tall and handsome, and what's more rare is that he has black hair but slightly white temples, which shows a little vicissitudes of life...
In addition, Xie Bao speaks gently, treats people kindly, and seems to be Mr. Xie from the business school. It's not strange to say that he is loved by students.
The problem is-Miss Hu San just now seems to be more than just loved!
