Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"Master Mu, how much do you think this information is worth?" Liu Xing ignored the other party's words of gratitude and asked slowly.

Seeing that Liu Xing was not moved at all, Mu Wen knew that the other party was not so easy to deal with, and secretly cursed him as a little fox.

"It is of great value. What is it that Fellow Daoist Liu is interested in? Kuixing Island will definitely do its best to satisfy you." Mu Wen replied sincerely.

"I'm new to your place and don't know what treasures you have to exchange. Why don't you provide a few options and let me choose." What Liu Xing actually wanted was intelligence about the Chaos Sea, but he felt that the value of this condition was too unequal.

"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist. Let the three of us discuss this." Mu Wen then took his two colleagues to the secret room next door.

"Brother Xing, we have told them all the intelligence. Will they turn against us and drive us away without paying any compensation?" Nie Xiaoqian said with some concern.

"Qian'er, don't worry. We are equally strong as the other party, and the deal will be done. I saw the reactions of the three people after they learned the intelligence, and a faint sense of anxiety emerged. Even though Mu Wen hid it very well, the other two could not suppress their restlessness at all. This shows that their strength is limited, and they are probably no match for Old Monster Ouyang and the others. With our strength, they dare not easily sacrifice themselves for the enemy." Liu Xing was leisurely sipping the fragrant tea, looking confident.

"Brother Xing, you can even tell fortunes now, hehe!" Nie Xiaoqian felt relieved and in a good mood. She held the teacup in both hands and took a small sip of the fragrant tea.

Liu Xing smiled slightly, looking at his wife's charming smile and frown, and a wave of love surged in his heart. He immediately recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra silently to suppress his restless emotions.

Mu Wen and others went to the secret room, opened the ban, and started discussing hurriedly.

"Senior brother, Old Monster Ouyang is not easy to deal with. We are in great danger this time." The black-faced man couldn't help but speak first, looking anxious.

"If it weren't for the old monster Ouyang pushing us from behind, we would have been able to control that coward Tang Biao." Mu Wen said hatefully. He no longer had the calm look he had in front of others before, and his brows were furrowed.

"Brother, you are very lucky. Fellow Daoist Liu and his wife came to us and discovered the enemy's evil plan. We still have room to maneuver. Otherwise, if Old Monster Ouyang suddenly attacks, we will definitely die and lose the island. There is no chance of survival." The female cultivator of the Jindan stage who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke.

"Junior sister, you have the wisdom of Zhuge Liang. Do you have any good plan for this crisis?" Mu Wen asked anxiously.

"Brother Mu, what do you think of Fellow Daoist Liu and his wife? How does their strength compare to that of Old Monster Ouyang?" The female cultivator did not answer the island owner's question, but instead expressed her opinion on Liu Xing.

"After this day's contact and conversation, I feel that Fellow Daoist Liu is well-read and knows everything, but he is also as cunning as a fox without revealing his whereabouts at all. He is quite cheerful and approachable. As for his strength, I can't tell at all. He is definitely stronger than me. I even have a feeling that he can't last more than three moves." Mu Wen concluded.

"Ah! Senior brother, you are at the peak of the late Jindan stage, and the opponent also seems to be in the late Jindan stage. How come you can't last more than three moves? Aren't you too self-deprecating?" The black-faced man said in disbelief after hearing this.

"Junior brother, your realm is not high enough to sense the opponent's magical power as vast as the ocean. I even suspect that he is an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage who has hidden his cultivation. I estimate that if you go against him, you will be killed in one move." Mu Wen added with great fear.

"Nascent Soul old monster!" The black-faced man and the woman screamed in horror.

"I'm not sure whether the other party is a Nascent Soul senior, but it is certain that his spiritual awareness and magic power are stronger than mine." Mu Wen said affirmatively.

"No wonder the other party can show such clear eavesdropping footage. Tang Biao has the strength of the peak of the late Jindan period. How could ordinary people record videos under his nose without being discovered? This shows that Brother Liu must have extremely strong concealing magical powers or magic weapons, and this must be achieved with the cooperation of extremely strong spiritual consciousness." The female cultivator added, confirming the judgment of Master Mu.

"That's right, so we must not make enemies with Fellow Daoist Liu and his wife, and we must try our best to make friends with him." Mu Wen said cautiously, and the black-faced man and the female cultivator also nodded.

"Junior sister, please tell me what you have in mind. I'm so anxious." The black-faced man urged.

"I have three strategies, best, middle and worst. Please decide for me, senior brother. The worst strategy is that we abandon the island and leave, so that we can avoid the limelight for the time being. The middle strategy is to give the Chaos Order to the old monster Ouyang, and some other treasures as well. This should prevent him from taking action, and we can gather our forces to deal with Tang Biao and others. The best strategy is to win over Fellow Daoist Liu and his wife, and catch Fellow Daoist Ouyang, Tang Biao and others in one fell swoop, and eliminate the trouble forever!" After a little thought, the female cultivator proposed three response strategies.

"Kuixing Island is the legacy left to us by our master. Even though I am incompetent, I must swear to live and die with this island. How can I give it up so easily? However, Old Monster Ouyang has a fickle temper and it is very likely that he will not appreciate the gift. Before his death, my master gave me the Chaos Order and said that this order is the entrance ticket to the Chaos Tower and that I must reach the Nascent Soul stage to go there. I don't know what the Chaos Tower is. I have consulted a lot of literature in the past few years but have not been able to get a rough idea. I guess this may be a secret realm for Nascent Soul cultivators. I am not strong enough, and holding this order in my hand is a disaster rather than a blessing." Mu Wen said unwillingly.

"Brother, you can use the news from the Chaos Tower and the Chaos Order to talk to Fellow Daoist Liu and his wife. I think they will be tempted." The junior sister looked like she had everything under control.

The three of them discussed the details again and then walked out of the secret room. At this time, Master Mu Island became calm again.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. The information that Fellow Daoist Liu brought this time can be regarded as a great benefactor of my Kuixing Island. However, my Kuixing Island is isolated in a corner and lacks supplies. We really don't have any treasures to offer. We are willing to pay one million spirit stones to thank Fellow Daoist for his great kindness." Mu Wen said to Liu Xing very sincerely.

Liu Xing remained silent. Actually, he was thinking about the news and the treasure that Old Monster Ouyang had been seeking, as mentioned at the secret meeting. However, he couldn't bring it up, as it would seem like he was taking advantage of the situation.

"Kuixing Island is about to face a catastrophe, and I, Mu, alone, fear it will be difficult to overcome it. I would like to ask for the assistance of Fellow Daoist Liu and his wife to help us overcome this difficult situation. I am willing to give them the Chaos Order, a relic of my master." Seeing Liu Xing unmoved, Mu Wen knew that the man was extremely cunning and would be difficult to impress without a truly valuable gift. So he decided to go all out and revealed his trump card.

"Chaos Order? What is this? Could it be what old monster Ouyang wants?" Liu Xing suddenly became interested.

"That's right. When my master passed away, he gave me the Chaos Order and said it was the key to enter the Chaos Tower. He also specifically emphasized that one cannot go treasure hunting if one is not in the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, I think the Chaos Tower might be a secret realm that only Nascent Soul masters are qualified to visit. It can be seen that this secret realm is of great value. Fellow Daoist Liu has great fortune, and perhaps he will have the opportunity to explore it." Since Mu Wen had something to ask of him, he told everything without reservation.
