I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Seeing that Yuan Qi finally showed some interest, Su Mo told him that he was going to a mysterious secret place, and also slightly emphasized the uncertainty and danger of the other side.

Finally, he said, "Even if the other side is another Jedi, it's not impossible for us, master and disciple, to break in. We are the ones who have conquered the Thunder Realm."

Yuan Qi "..."

He didn't look good.

When he first met Su Mo, he was trapped in the thunder zone with no way out. This is not something to be proud of.

"I was trapped because the passage was targeted at the monks from Suzhou. What can I do?"

In fact, Yuan Qi wanted to say that the way of heaven was unfair, but as a cultivator he couldn't help but fear the way of heaven, so he didn't say it out loud.

"Of course, if Master could sense the exit, he would have come out long ago." Su Mo agreed.

If he had come out earlier, he wouldn't have met me. Even if Yuan Qi had come out, he would either be strolling around Jupiter's moons or traveling on his shuttle, Su Mo secretly added in his heart.

If that were the case, Yuan Qi might have come to Blue Star by himself, but it was more likely that he would plunge into the universe. Su Mo remembered that when Yuan Qi took out the shuttle, the energy was not sufficient.

Tsk, it would be bad if the energy was suddenly exhausted somewhere in the vast universe. Even a Nascent Soul Realm master is not yet at the level of being able to step into the void.

Su Mo nodded secretly. Yuan Qi was lucky after all.

Yuan Qi flicked his finger, and the pen that he had just been writing with hit Su Mo's head, who was distracted.

"hiss··"

When Su Mo came to her senses, she saw a piece of paper. She subconsciously checked the content. It was a list?

Yuan Qi displayed the dignity of an elder and tapped the table.

"These are the materials that the master needs. Take them and write them down carefully. If you come across them, bring them back to me."

The paper listed the names of the materials, drew their appearance, and noted where they might grow, their characteristics, planting instructions, etc.

In total, there are more than thirty kinds of writing.

After reading it, Su Mo put the list into his storage bracelet.

"Have you finished reading it? Are you sure?" Yuan Qi asked.

"Don't worry, I will definitely look for it carefully." Su Mo obediently took on the task.

Thirty-six kinds of materials, ranging from common to rare.

There are only fifteen types in her space, but it doesn’t matter, she can always find them, and there is no set time limit.

Yuan Qi was satisfied with his apprentice's sensible performance.

Then he asked, "When are we going to the secret place you mentioned?"

Su Mo was delighted, this was an agreement.

"Now, the sooner we go, the sooner we can solve it."

"Solve what?"

Su Mo paused, then explained with an awkward smile, "Some people went to that secret realm and couldn't come out. I went to see what happened to them."

Yuan Qi "..."

He stood up and said, "Let's go."

Yuan Qi didn't really care why Su Mo asked him to go to that secret realm. After coming out of seclusion, he also wanted to go out for a walk and change his mind.

"By the way, Master, I sent a letter to ask if you are short of materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. I need this, please make me a furnace." Su Mo quickly stood up and chased out of the classroom.

Yuan Qi didn't stop, took out a jade bottle, threw it over his shoulder and threw it to Su Mo.

"Twelve, is that enough?"

It’s not that Yuan Qi couldn’t check the information in the teaching tower during his retreat, he just didn’t reply.

The Foundation Establishment Pill that Su Mo mentioned repeatedly was very simple for him, so he took the time to refine a batch of it. He could produce twelve pills of this level in one batch, and each one was of top quality.

It’s not impossible to get the best quality, it’s just not necessary.

"Enough, enough, enough!" Su Mo took the jade bottle in surprise. He didn't expect that Yuan Qi had already been refined.

After opening the bottle and checking, Su Mo felt a little sad.

She thought of the time when she was building her foundation. At that time, she didn't have a single foundation-building pill, which caused the small tower to worry that her physical condition was not good enough to withstand the thunder tribulation, so it helped her share some of the damage.

Liu Moxi and the others are fine, and there are still top-grade foundation-building pills available.

I took out five Foundation Establishment Pills and put them on the exchange list in the Teaching Tower. Liu Moxi, Wen Song, and Wen Shu are the only three who need Foundation Establishment Pills for now, so I'll put five of them there first and we'll deal with it later if it's not enough.

Before leaving the academy, Su Mo went to the academy's warehouse and exchanged a batch of supplies before heading towards Laurel City with Yuan Qi.

It didn't take much time from the time she returned to the Teaching Tower to find Yuan Qi to the time she took him away. She saw the teachers and students walking around in the Teaching Tower, and everyone was very enthusiastic about taking classes in the Teaching Tower.

·····

The moon, a temporary base for the new secret realm.

After Jiang Qizhan and his party arrived, Deng Ye also rushed over.

It just so happened that Su Mo hadn't arrived yet, so they discussed some issues within the association.

The part that currently covers the entrance to the secret realm is still the temporary outpost built earlier, and the materials that are being transported in must start with the construction of the periphery.

On the construction site, workers hired by the association and construction robots are busy.

The perimeter of the construction site has been cordoned off and no one is allowed to enter without permission.

When Su Mo's flying boat stopped outside the construction site, everyone in the temporary base knew it.

They did not come out to pick up the person, but only sent a letter to notify the guards outside to let the person in.

It is really not very convenient to wear protective clothing when going out, otherwise Deng Ye would have come out to greet me.

Su Mo and Yuan Qi walked out of the flying boat, and then the flying boat was taken back.

After passing the outer construction site, the two men walked into the stronghold.

Jiang Qizhang was in the lead, followed by Deng Ye and another young woman. They warmly welcomed the two into the stronghold.

"Teacher Yuanqi, Xiao Su, you have all met Minister Deng, so I won't introduce him to you. This is Zhou Xiaoling, the person in charge assigned by the association to this base." Jiang Qi Zhang spoke considerately in the common language of Suzhou.

While introducing themselves, several people couldn't help but glance behind Su Mo.

"Thank you for the trouble this time!"

"I hope the things in this secret realm are good enough." Su Mo smiled.

Secretly remind the other party of the reward conditions agreed upon with you.

Yuan Qi had no intention of talking. Seeing that the other party could speak Suzhou dialect, he just paused slightly and nodded.

"The reward is fine, it just depends on how well you complete the task." Jiang Qi Zhang was still a little heartbroken, as Su Mo clearly wanted to take a big bite this time.

"The president is right. I will try my best."

The group walked in, with Zhou Ling walking at the end, secretly observing the two invited masters. Just by looking at the ease with which they walked on the moon, she knew that they were quite powerful.

After passing through a short passage, you will enter the secret hall.

"Xiao Su, you should take all the supplies here. They are provided free of charge by the association for this rescue mission."

There were a lot of boxes of different sizes piled against the wall in the hall. Su Mo didn't hesitate to take them away.

It's free, no reason not to have it.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. The teacher and I will go in and take a look."

"Okay, we'll wait here for your safe return."

Jiang Qi Zhang and others watched Su Mo and the other man walk into the passage.

······

Within the secret realm.

Su Mo and the others passed through the secret passage and appeared at a city gate.

"Moon Rest City..."

Su Mo looked at the huge city in front of him and fell into deep thought.

All her mental preparations were in vain. This secret realm was neither the Suzhou Jedi in the "advanced map" nor an extreme environment like the ocean, ice field or desert.

There is only one huge city.

Well, the ruins of a huge city.

It looked no different from the Susu city she had seen before.

How could a city trap so many people?

Without the small tower to help with the investigation, Su Mo's mental power had spread out, but he was unable to quickly find out the situation in the city.

"Master, do you see anything wrong with this?" Su Mo asked.

Yuanqi is a local and must know more than me.

"There is an illusion." Yuan Qi gave the answer.

"You mean this city is fake?" Su Mo was shocked. She didn't even notice!

"The city is real, but there is some kind of illusion covering a part of the city, not far from the city gate." Yuan Qi raised his chin and nodded.

After saying this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the apprentice next to him.

"Why aren't you affected?"

Su Mo: "..."

Illusions should be considered mental attacks, right? Any attack that attempts to invade his sea of ​​consciousness will be blocked by the small tower.

"Maybe it's because I contracted the nightmare insect."

Yuan Qi knew about his apprentice's battle pet, and Nightmare's strength should not be underestimated.

But he always felt that the truth might not be as simple as his apprentice said.

Yuan Qi looked at her and smiled, without commenting.

"Go in, find the source of the illusion and solve it, then you can naturally rescue those affected by the illusion."

·····

At this moment in the City Lord's Mansion.

A silver-gray monster was pacing back and forth in the yard in front of the reception room, looking a little anxious.

This monster looks like a Q-version calf, with all four hooves on the ground and two horns on its head spiraling upwards like antennas. If you look closely, you can see light flashing inside the keratin shells of the two spiral horns.

It's just that the brightness is too small and the frequency is too low, so it is easy to be ignored.

The sound of "da da da..." footsteps continued in the empty city lord's mansion.

The calf whispered to himself, "What should I do? I might not be able to control the monks who came in this time. Their strength is far greater than mine..."

"Are these people the same forces that harmed the master's family and Yuexi City back then?"

The calf became more and more worried.

"If so, it would explain why it couldn't control the other two."

"If not, I wonder if the other party is willing to stay here?"

"Who! Who's there?"

The calf, immersed in fantasy, suddenly heard a sound and looked up at the roof of the reception room in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Master, what kind of monster is this?" Su Mo asked.

"It looks like the Lingxi cattle tribe. Yes, it should be the Lingxi cattle tribe." Yuan Qi replied.

"Are the Lingxi Ox tribe rare monsters?" Su Mo was curious.

He actually has abilities similar to Pangpang, so he must be quite strong.

"Not really. The Lingxi cattle population is quite large..."

"Isn't this just extra powerful?"

"Not that bad, just a little weird. Maybe it's a mutation."

The two of them stood on the high roof of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the calf in the yard and discussing.

The calf has stopped, and the other party has approached him without him noticing. It would be a little easy for him to kill him.

"Master, how are you both..." The calf wiped away his previous anxious expression (an expression that was difficult to discern) and took the initiative to greet them.

The monster's reaction was quite quick, and the way it raised its front hooves and saluted was imitated very well.

Yuan Qi didn't think this was a big deal as he was already used to all kinds of monsters. However, Su Mo's mouth twitched. She had seen many monsters that could speak the common language of Suzhou, but this was the first time she had seen such a servile one.

"Can you tell me why you trapped those humans in the city?" Su Mo locked his eyes on the other person.

During the time he walked from the city gate to the City Lord's Mansion, Su Mo gained some information.

Her spiritual power had already discovered the missing people. They were all in a market town east of the city gate. They were all still alive, but a few of them had suffered injuries that were either minor or serious.

Most of those who were not injured gathered in a place that looked like a fighting arena.

Su Mo recognized the person on the stage at that moment, it was Yin Liu.

But there was only Yin Liu on the stage. He seemed to be fighting with the air. Su Mo observed him. From his calm response at the beginning to his gradual difficulty, when Su Mo arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he was already out of breath but still persisting.

Since it involved a group illusion, Su Mo was not affected, so he didn't understand what he was dealing with.

But the people watching in the audience could obviously see it.

But they just watched the changes on the stage nervously, each of them was quite solemn and tense, without cheering or applauding.

Cao Duoduo stood in the front row and watched, appearing calm on the surface.

"Can our captain pass this test?" someone nearby asked in a low voice, tilting his head.

"It's a bit difficult... If the captain can't defeat the opponent before he consumes more than half of his own energy, it will be difficult to win afterwards." Cao Duoduo pursed his lips.

He saw that it was difficult for Yin Liu to win, and this was already Yin Liu's fifth challenge.

When Su Mo and the others arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Yin Liu was still insisting on staying on the stage.

She kept her mental energy on watching over there, and she and Yuan Qi had already jumped onto the roof of the City Lord's Mansion.

Meet the source of illusion in the City Lord’s Mansion, the Rhinoceros Ox.

No matter how Su Mo looked at it, the calf didn't look like a ferocious monster. At least those who were trapped in the illusion were free and not restricted in their movements.

Even weapons and equipment are carried on their backs.

So Su Mo's attitude towards the instigator was pretty good.

"I, I just want Yuexi City to regain its former vitality." The calf looked honest and innocent.

Although it lowered its head, it was secretly observing the two people on the roof, and it could easily judge that it was no match for either of them.

"What did you do? What are those people doing on stage?"

The calf sighed softly and said helplessly and cautiously, "Their opponent is their own phantom."

Su Mo and Yuan Qi looked at each other, not understanding why the other party made such an arrangement.

The calf told the reason without waiting for further questioning.

"They, I didn't mean for them to be like this. I let them choose a house to live in, but..."

"I wanted them to stay, but they didn't want to. Well, I finally got to meet some of them, so I don't want to let them go."

"So the rules of the arena were set. Anyone who can defeat their own phantom can leave Yuexi City."

Su Mo, Yuan Qi "..."

Well, you're fighting against yourself.

"Are the two immortal masters really here for those people?" The calf raised his head and asked, hoping to get a negative answer.
