Shen Luo thought in his heart, but he didn't hesitate and nodded.
The servant girl led him into the mansion and soon arrived outside a large courtyard.
"This is it. Please come in, young master. I'll leave now." The maid bowed and quickly walked away.
Shen Luo looked inside. There was a tall main hall in the courtyard, and two people were faintly standing in it.
"Who is the other one?" He frowned slightly, but soon relaxed and stepped into the hall.
One of the two people in the hall was Cheng Yaojin, and the other was a young Taoist priest with a white horsetail whisk in his hand and a smile on his face.
The Taoist priest was laughing and talking with Cheng Yaojin. When he saw Shen Luo come in, he turned his eyes and looked at him.
Shen Luo's mind suddenly trembled for no reason, and he seemed to be seen through. His hands and feet trembled uncontrollably, and he was stunned there.
"Oh, this must be my little friend Shen Luo. Speaking of which, we have met once." The young Taoist priest nodded to Shen Luo with a smile.
Shen Luo heard the voice and came back to himself, and the voice was very familiar.
"Are you Yuan Tiangang, the State Preceptor Yuan?"
The voice of the young Taoist priest was exactly the same as the voice of the girl surnamed Li at the River Styx in the Nether World.
"Yes, I am Yuan Tiangang. Last time I said goodbye to you at the River Styx in a hurry, and I didn't have time to introduce myself. Please don't blame me. Cough …" Yuan Tiangang raised one palm and saluted. Then he suddenly coughed a few times as if he was sick.
"I don't dare. State Preceptor is too polite." Shen Luo hurriedly returned the salute and lowered his eyes.
In his dream, his cultivation had reached the Realm of True Immortality, and his vision was brilliant. Yuan Tiangang in front of him gave him an extremely unfathomable feeling, like a boundless ocean. It seemed that there were no waves, but in fact, it was bottomless.
He had seen a lot of masters, but whether it was Cheng Yaojin, Master Huangmu, Jinghe Dragon King, or even the Dragon King of the East Sea in his dream, it seemed that they were not as terrible as Yuan Tiangang.
This person's appearance here somehow made Shen Luo feel a little uneasy.
With Yuan Tiangang's great Taoism and being in the Cheng Mansion, it was not known whether he had noticed the existence of the jade pillow and the virtual shadow of the Divine Book.
"I, Yuan Tiangang, have come to visit the Cheng Mansion today. I am also a guest. Little friend Shen, you don't have to be so polite," Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.
"Alright, the two of you don't have to be so courteous. Little brat Shen, I called you here today because the Second Element True Water that you asked for has arrived. "Cheng Yaojin interrupted the two of them.
As soon as Shen Luo heard this, he had no time to speculate about Yuan Tiangang. His face showed joy.
The Tang government had previously promised to give him some Yuan True Water. However, due to the ghost invasion in Chang 'an, this matter had been put aside and he had almost forgotten about it.
As Cheng Yaojin spoke, he took out a half-foot tall silver jade bottle and handed it over.
Shen Luo hurriedly received it with both hands. This jade bottle did not look big, but it weighed a few hundred pounds. He secretly channeled his transcendence energy to hold it up.
He silently used his Divine Sense to explore the bottle, and he was delighted again.
This jade bottle was actually filled with the Second Element True Water, which was several times more than the one he had received from Chen Gang.
"Thank you, Duke, for your generous gift." Shen Luo turned over his hand and put away the jade bottle. He clasped his fist and thanked him.
With so much Second Element True Water, he was confident that he could cultivate the Nameless Art to the peak of the Soul Condensing Stage in a short time.
As for breaking through the Out-of-Body Stage later, he already had considerable confidence.
Shen Luo had already had the experience of breaking through the Out-of-Body Stage in his dream. He knew that the most important thing to break through this stage was to have a strong enough Divine Sense to break through the limits of the physical body and break through in one fell swoop.
Previously, he had absorbed the two soul cultivators in the Body Refining Altar by the bank of the Styx River. The Divine Sense had increased by more than 30%, which was enough to break through the Out-of-Body Stage. Moreover, this time, in the second half of the Nameless Art that he had obtained in his dream, there was a secret art that assisted in breaking through the Out-of-Body Stage. It was called "Three Elements Open Tai", which could increase the probability of breaking through.
"What are you thanking me for? This is what you deserve. I have been very ashamed that I delayed giving it to you until now. "Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard and laughed.
"Duke, you are joking. It is because of the ghost that the transportation of materials is delayed. How can I not understand?" Shen Luo put away the jade bottle and clasped his fist.
"Duke, you and Preceptor Yuan seem to have something to talk about. If you have no other orders, I will leave now." He glanced at the two and said quickly.
Although Shen Luo still wanted to ask Cheng Yaojin to help investigate the Devil Soul in Chang 'an, Yuan Tiangang stood here. Maybe because this person's cultivation was too high, or maybe because of what Ma Xiuxiu said by the bank of the Styx River, Shen Luo did not trust this person. He planned to mention this matter to Cheng Yaojin another day.
"Little friend Shen, don't be in a hurry to leave. I came to visit Duke's Mansion today for two reasons. One is that I have something to discuss with Duke, and the other is that I want to meet you." Yuan Tiangang suddenly opened his mouth and asked him to stay.
"I don't know why Preceptor Yuan is looking for me?" Shen Luo was stunned and looked at Yuan Tiangang.
"That day at the bank of the Styx River in the Nether World, I saved His Majesty and returned with His Majesty's soul first because the soul-possessing secret skill had a time limit. According to Lu Huaming, the disciple of Duke Cheng, it was you who fought Jinghe Dragon King to the end. This evil dragon has a deep grudge with the imperial court of our Tang Empire. I am here to ask you to repeat the situation of your last battle in detail. "Yuan Tiangang stared at Shen Luo's eyes and said with a smile.
Shen Luo's heart thumped. Although he tried to keep calm on the surface, some fluctuations in his eyes still fell into Yuan Tiangang's eyes.
"What's wrong? Little friend Shen, is there any inconvenience?" Yuan Tiangang asked.
Shen Luo frowned slightly, but soon he was relieved.
Although he and Ma Xiuxiu had some friendship, it was not a life-and-death friendship. Previously, because of the Millennium Spiritual Milk, they had some bad relations. There was no need to cover anything for her.
Moreover, Ma Xiuxiu once said that it was Yuan Tiangang who disguised himself as Yuan Shoucheng and framed Jinghe Dragon King. These words had always been a knot in his heart. Now Cheng Yaojin was also present. He just wanted to see what Yuan Tiangang said.
"Of course there is no inconvenience. After I chased Jinghe Dragon King with a sword that day …" Shen Luo told the story of chasing Jinghe Dragon King in detail.
Cheng Yaojin heard this for the first time, and his expression changed again and again.
However, Yuan Tiangang was not surprised. He just frowned as if he had encountered something very puzzling.
"… Finally, Ma Xiuxiu turned into a dragon and left. I also fainted. After waking up, I appeared in Cheng Yaojin's mansion. This is the cause and effect of the matter. I didn't hide anything. If you don't believe it, you can also ask the Nether World for confirmation. "Shen Luo cupped his hands and said.
Cheng Yaojin and Yuan Tiangang were speechless for a while. They both stood there silently.
"Little friend Shen Luo, thank you for detailing this matter." Yuan Tiangang recovered first and nodded to thank Shen Luo.
Shen Luo was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked Yuan Tiangang directly, "Royal Preceptor Yuan is too polite. It's just that I have previously heard about Jinghe Dragon King from Cheng Yaojin's story. I also heard what Ma Xiuxiu said in the Nether World that day. There seems to be some discrepancies between the two, especially about the identity of Yuan Shoucheng.
