Mysterious mirror hanging high

"Brother Shihua, you're too kind." Wen Rennuo said with a smile, "I may not be good at anything else, but I do have a commendable understanding."

Wen Rennuo kept saying "I" on the left and "this uncle" on the right, and kept swearing. But Xiao Guanying didn't pay any attention at all. He seemed to be used to it and nodded in agreement.

"Although your spiritual root aptitude is extremely mediocre, if we only consider your comprehension, it is indeed excellent... You must know that the further you advance in your journey, the more important your comprehension becomes, and ultimately its importance completely surpasses the quality of your spiritual roots."

"At this moment, you are only practicing magic and supernatural powers faster than ordinary people. This is not considered to be a great achievement. If you have the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul, or even cultivate to the late Nascent Soul stage, and begin to comprehend the power of the laws, then the benefits of your high level of understanding will be revealed."

Wen Rennuo rolled his eyes inwardly: "Brother Shihua, if he knew that the reason I made such rapid progress in cultivating my magical powers was because I was temporarily given the [Extensive Knowledge and Strong Sense] body, and it wasn't due to any innate talent, I'm afraid he would be furious."

This made him even more shocked. "Temporarily bestowing [Innate Dao Body], such a method is simply unheard of. Even the Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch Xiao Guanying couldn't see through it. Master Jing's magical powers are vast, I'm afraid they are even beyond my expectations."

"I don't know why the Heavenly Court has provoked such a powerful enemy. I'm afraid it will be difficult... I'm now playing both sides, and it seems that I have connections with both sides, but it's like walking a tightrope. I must not stand on the wrong side."

Over the years, Wen Rennuo had already figured out some of his true intentions and knew that even [Old Jing] could not guess what he was thinking. That was why he dared to plan for the future in front of the two unfathomable masters.

Xiao Guanying continued, "When you complete the trial mission and return to Heaven, you can graduate from the Xiantian Dao Academy. Heaven will then assign you to the most suitable division or palace for you. We've known each other for decades, so we have some connections. I also have some connections in various divisions and palaces, so I will certainly do my best to help you."

Wenren Nuo smiled upon hearing this and said, "That couldn't be better, Brother Shihua. I've noticed that you're usually a stubborn person who values ​​rules and regulations the most. I thought you were a rigid and old-fashioned person, but I didn't expect you to know how to adapt at the critical moment."

Xiao Guanying simply said, "I've seen your talent over the years, and it's not as simple as it appears... No matter which department you enter, it's what you deserve, and it can't be considered partiality."

"Besides, the reason why the Heavenly Court only considers aptitude is not because they believe that those with exceptional talent are truly superior. It simply means that they concentrate resources on cultivators with good aptitude. This makes the use of resources more efficient and can produce more high-level cultivators."

Xiao Guanying said, "If there really is a quirky talent that's beyond our plan, we can naturally make special arrangements... But this method can't be implemented. Only a few senior executives can personally oversee it. Otherwise, it will easily allow a bunch of parasites to slip through the cracks."

"Well, Brother Shihua's judgment really hits the nail on the head. Even His Majesty would applaud if he heard it. If it weren't for the limitations of his talent and cultivation, he would have already won the Emperor's heart."

Wenren Nuo gathered his sleeves and squinted his eyes as he said, "But if I can gain the favor of His Majesty, maybe Brother Shihua will be able to benefit from it too. Then we can all get promoted and get rich together. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Xiao Guanying was amused in his heart, but he just smiled when he heard it: "Oh? Then I'm looking forward to it."

Wen Rennuo walked out of Xiao Guanying's villa and traveled thousands of miles in one breath. The smile on his face disappeared and his expression turned cold. But after a moment, he seemed to remember something good and gradually showed a proud look:

"Jane is in the Emperor's Heart... Hehe, this is the true [Jane is in the Emperor's Heart]!"

The next moment, Wen Rennuo used his spiritual power to touch the bronze mirror in his dantian, and the seal characters [Condensing Qi and Returning to Origin] on the mirror gradually faded away and turned into four blue seal characters [Chasing Wind and Lightning].

Then, with a flash of light, the original escape speed suddenly increased by more than 30%, and it rushed towards the direction of [Yunchuan Region].

----

Half a month later, Wen Rennuo finally arrived in the Yunchuan area by flying, riding on a ship, and transferring through a teleportation array. Following the location of the fugitive on the gold medal, he came to a mortal place with thin spiritual energy.

The incarnation of Jing Yu, who was hiding in the bronze mirror, was stunned at this moment: "What a coincidence."

"Why does Master Jing teach me?" Wen Rennuo asked with interest, gently shaking his folding fan and looking at the city walls that were looming in the distance.

Jing Yu said calmly, "This place is called Liang State. If you trace it back two or three hundred years, it was still Zhao State... I never thought the fugitive would be hiding in the capital of Liang."

Wen Rennuo's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Now that we have determined the fugitive's hiding place, let's end it quickly."

Wen Rennuo used the magic of concealing his breath and a trick to sneak into Liangdu. The token could only show the general location of the fugitive. If he wanted to be accurate to a millimeter, that would be a fantasy. Fortunately, as long as he was sure that the target was in this city, Wen Rennuo would naturally have a way to find that person.

He then pulled an iron compass from his storage bag, the needle spinning frantically. "The [Spirit-Detecting Compass] can detect fluctuations in spiritual energy within a thousand-mile radius. According to intelligence from the Heavenly Court, this fugitive had previously clashed with members of the [Sky Patrol Division] and was injured. He must be in a remote corner healing his wounds."

"As long as you are healing, you will inevitably be breathing in spiritual energy, and you can naturally sense it with this compass."

The compass needle turned countless times, constantly swinging between the two directions. Wen Rennuo frowned and said:

"Two directions? Could this fugitive have accomplices? Or is there another unrelated cultivator cultivating here... The spiritual energy is so thin here, it's deserted. Who would cultivate here?"

"Let's go to the direction with the stronger reaction first."

One of the directions of the compass needle pointed to the location of the Liangdu Central Palace. Wen Rennuo still suppressed his escape light to the most inconspicuous level and flew towards the palace.

When they flew into the palace, they saw that a banquet seemed to be being held in the main hall of the palace. The hall was full of civil officials, military generals, royal relatives... An old emperor with white hair and beard was sitting in the main seat, listening to music with his eyes closed. He held a wine jar in his hand, and his skinny palms were shaking slightly. It was not known whether it was because of his old age or because he was not in a calm mood.

Wen Rennuo held the compass in one hand and used his spiritual eyes to scan it. After a moment, a sneer appeared on his face:

"Got you!"

He gently waved the folding fan in his hand, and suddenly several green wind blades rose up and hit the side wall of the main hall.

The next moment, the wall flashed with spiritual light, and inside it was actually arranged a protective formation and a concealing formation, which were flickering due to the wind blades.

A dark figure leaped out of the formation, and a startled voice rang out:

"Who is this holy person who actually broke my restriction?"
