No hope for eternal life

Chapter 267 Yi Huan's Attitude

"You guy, you tell me now." Mu Xun looked at not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Mu Changsheng took the initiative to exchange the sword-making inheritance for his sword-art inheritance, obviously just to give him the opportunity.

"The sword-making secret of Emperor Tianqing is extremely extraordinary. You gave this secret to Yi Qianhuan, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness in raising you. The Demon Clan and the You Clan have many disagreements. The two are like the center of a storm. It is better to stay away from them." Mu Changsheng analyzed for Mu Xun.

"It's not that easy to tell the difference." Mu Xun shook his head slightly. He understood that Mu Changsheng asked him to stay away from the demons for his own good, but he always thought of Mo Lianyue's gentle smile. That was the motherly love he had never felt before. Naturally, he felt reluctant to cut off all ties with her.

"Moreover," Mu Xun said solemnly, "In the conflict between the Demon Clan and the You Clan, the You Clan is at fault, and the Demon Clan is the victim."

"Maybe the fault really lies with the You Clan, but the You Clan is powerful and everyone in the Nine Realms knows about it. You and I can't afford to offend them." Mu Changsheng said rationally.

"I can't afford to offend you now, but it may not be the case in the future. If you can't afford the seventh level, you can afford the eighth level. If you can't afford the eighth level, you can't afford the ninth level!" Mu Xun said.

"In history, there have been three ninth-level cultivators who died at the hands of You Wushuang!" Mu Changsheng retorted, implying that the ninth-level cultivator might not be able to do it.

Mu Xun fell silent. He had known about You Wushuang's glorious battle record and knew that what Mu Changsheng said was true.

"If there is a conflict between the You Clan and the Demon Clan in the future, which side will you stand on?" Mu Xun asked.

"I stand on the side of the sect." Mu Changsheng replied, and then added: "Because I believe the sect will make the most correct choice."

Mu Xun smiled slightly, easing the atmosphere a bit, and said with a smile: "You are speaking for the sect, it seems that you are doing really well in the sect, but it's a pity that I failed the entrance examination."

"When you reach the eighth level of cultivation, I will help you apply for the position of guest elder in the sect." Mu Changsheng smiled back. Perhaps only those who have reached the eighth level of cultivation are qualified to serve as guest elders of the two major sects.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xun said seriously: "It's settled, you can't regret it."

Although Mu Xun had never joined the two major sects, based on what he had seen and heard, as well as Mu Changsheng's attitude, he was full of yearning for the two major sects.

"I will never regret it." Mu Changsheng promised. He thought that by the time Mu Xun reached the eighth level, his cultivation would not be too different, and he would have some say in the sect.

In the end, Mu Changsheng and the other person did not continue talking about the topic of the You Clan and the Demon Clan because they both respected each other's choices.

After leaving the restaurant, Mu Changsheng and the other person rushed to the Zhongzhou Island ferry and took the cross-border ferry back to the Tianshuang Realm.

Two days later, the ferry that Mu Changsheng and his companion were on landed at Niujiao Ferry in Qihua County.

Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun returned to Qingliu Town together to visit Yi Qianhuan.

Yi Qianhuan was still as focused on sword forging as before, and did not react much even to the arrival of Mu Changsheng and the other two.

Mu Xun did not reminisce about the past. Instead, he took out the book of sword-forging secrets that he had compiled and said, "I heard that you were collecting sword-forging secrets. I just happened to have obtained one recently. Please take a look at it."

Yi Qianhuan didn't care much at first. He just glanced casually at Mu Xun's secret booklet and found the five words "Purple and Green Sword Forging Technique" written on it. He was startled and involuntarily stopped the sword-forging action in his hand, and then hurriedly snatched the secret booklet and started to look at it.

As Yi Qianhuan continued to flip through the pages, his eyes grew wider and wider, and even his breathing became a little rapid.

After quickly reading the secret technique, a nameless fire ignited in Yi Qianhuan's palm, burning the secret technique booklet in his hand as soon as it was burned. He had memorized all the contents in it, so the booklet no longer needed to exist.

At the same time, Yi Qianhuan looked at Mu Changsheng and the others with sharp eyes for the first time, and asked sternly: "Besides you, who else knows this secret technique?"

"Only the two of us know." Mu Xun answered truthfully. He also noticed the change in Mu Qunxian's state.

After hearing this, Yi Qianhuan still asked Xiang Muchangsheng with some concern: "Have you handed over this secret technique to the sect?"

"I have this plan, but I haven't implemented it yet." Mu Changsheng replied a little uneasily. He found that Yi Qianhuan seemed to attach great importance to Emperor Tianqing's sword-making secrets.

After hearing Mu Changsheng's answer, Yi Qianhuan finally felt relieved and revealed the origin of the secret sword-making technique: "Did you two inherit the legacy of Emperor Tianqing?"

Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun looked at each other, neither of them knew how to answer this question.

Yi Qianhuan continued to ask: "The Great Emperor Tianqing is good at the three great ways of swordsmanship, weapon refining, and formation. Did you get the complete inheritance of the three great ways?"

This time, Mu Changsheng stood up and answered truthfully: "I got the complete inheritance, while Mu Xun only got the sword and weapon refining inheritance."

Lies can be easily exposed by using the Great Oath of the Heart Demon, so Mu Changsheng knew that it was completely impossible to lie in front of Yi Qianhuan, so it was better to tell the truth.

"Very good, very good." Yi Qianhuan said "good" twice before continuing: "Let's make a deal."

"I wonder what specific transaction you are talking about?" Mu Changsheng asked.

"Spiritual stones, spiritual materials, all kinds of spiritual objects, as long as you want, I can try my best to satisfy you, the condition is that you can't pass the inheritance in your hands to others." Yi Qianhuan said bluntly.

"So it's for the inheritance of Emperor Tianqing." Mu Changsheng said in his heart. He finally understood why Yi Qianhuan's behavior was so abnormal. He didn't expect that the inheritance of Emperor Tianqing would be so tempting to Yi Qianhuan.

"Senior, what you mean is that even if we hand over the secret technique to the sect, it won't work?" Mu Changsheng asked carefully.

"That's right." Yi Qianhuan admitted generously: "Lingshan Sect and the You Clan have a close relationship, you know this, and there is no difference between handing over the inheritance to Lingshan Sect and handing it over to the You Clan."

"What you said is wrong, senior. Sect Master Xiao is Sect Master Xiao, and the You clan is the You clan. The two cannot be confused." Mu Changsheng said with some disagreement.

"Mu Changsheng, I'm not interested in arguing with you about this, nor do I want to listen to any clichés about human unity." Yi Qianhuan said coldly: "Let me ask you, if someone killed your parents and friends, would you bear not to seek revenge for the sake of the human race?"

Mu Changsheng was speechless because he thought he couldn't do it. If that was the case, what qualifications did he have to ask Yi Qianhuan to let go of his hatred?

Mu Changsheng then completely understood that the hatred between the Demon Clan and the Ghost Clan was too deep and could not be resolved at all.

Seeing that Mu Changsheng couldn't answer, Yi Qianhuan suddenly said: "I could have killed you directly and saved some money, but I didn't do that. You should be thankful for that."

Mu Changsheng was horrified. He found that what Yi Qianhuan said was right. He came to find Yi Qianhuan today. Not to mention that outsiders didn't know about it at all, even if they knew, who would be willing to cause trouble for the Demon Clan's Chieftain because of him, a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Mu Xun on the side looked at Yi Qianhuan in a daze, and then listened to what Yi Qianhuan said. He felt that the person in front of him was so strange. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether Yi Qianhuan also wanted to kill him.

Seeing that Mu Changsheng and the other person were silent, Yi Qianhuan said to Mu Changsheng: "If you offer all of Emperor Tianqing's inheritance to Lingshan Sect, you will only get 100,000 contribution points at most. I can give you 100,000 contribution points in exchange."

"Okay." Mu Changsheng agreed directly. The facts were before him and he had no right to bargain. It was already very good that Yi Qianhuan was willing to give him 100,000 contribution points.

Yi Qianhuan was also very straightforward and directly threw a storage bag to Mu Changsheng, which contained a full 100,000 contribution coins. As a guest elder of the Tianling Sect, this amount of contribution was just a drop in the bucket for him.

Then, Yi Qianhuan finally turned his gaze to Mu Xun and said calmly: "As for you, I can give you 100,000 top-grade spirit stones. With top-grade spirit stones, you can buy whatever you need."

What Yi Qianhuan said was true. Top-grade spirit stones could be said to be the most popular currency in the Nine Realms. As long as there were enough top-grade spirit stones, they could buy almost everything.

However, Mu Xun refused and said softly: "No need, the 100,000 top-grade spirit stones are my repayment for your years of nurturing and teaching."
