Seeing that Elder Lin didn't want to say more, Miao Yi knew he wouldn't be able to force anything out of Elder Lin with his cultivation, so he didn't pursue the matter any further. After all, the item was already in his hands. Everything else had nothing to do with him. His next step was to find the Earth Division's Unparalleled Devil Art according to the directions given by the copper mirror.
"Does Elder have any other instructions?" Miao Yi asked again. If there was nothing else, he would go back and think of a way to find the item. He wasn't here to play.
Elder Mu Sen said, "I don't dare to give you any instructions. I just hope you won't forget the promise you made to us."
Speaking of promises, Miao Yi was speechless. He was sure this had nothing to do with him. How would he know what kind of promise the person who was actually going to take the test would make? He couldn't help asking, "What promise?"
Elder Mu Sen avoided the question again. "The key is in your hands. You will find the answer." As he said this, he tapped his staff on the ground, and the sealed tree hole squirmed open again.
At that moment, Ming Zhao had already found Mu Linlang and was beating around the bush. Finally, he beat around the bush and asked, "I don't understand a single word that Elder Mu Sen was reciting against the crossword puzzle. May I know what he was reciting? Why are you all so agitated?"
Mu Linlang raised her cup to him and smiled. "It wasn't the unified language of this galaxy. Elder was reciting the language passed down through the generations of the fairy race. He said that we have found our most respected guest, and that the God of Fortune will grant us a beautiful and peaceful future!"
Ming Zhao was shocked. "That's all?"
Mu Linlang said happily, "Of course! You know that us fairies don't like your way of life. We only wish to be with nature forever, to live peacefully and happily in the forest. The forest will grant us everything we need. Isn't that something worth celebrating? "
Ming Zhao was speechless. He understood that their values couldn't be reconciled. Mu Linlang didn't look like she was lying, and the fairy race wasn't used to lying. Perhaps it was true.
At that moment, Miao Yi floated down from the tree. He walked back and joined the crowd again. He noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely. He could only smile wryly.
Elder Mu Sen and Saintess Mu Na didn't appear again until the celebration was over.
They returned to the previously arranged lodging spot. Needless to say, Ming Zhao's first question was to ask Miao Yi, "Master, what did you write on the puzzle to pass the test?"
Miao Yi knew that they were going to ask about this, but how could he tell them the truth? Since you're guarding against me, it means that you don't trust me. How can I not guard against you? He scratched his head and said, "I didn't want to pass the test at all. After being forced by you, I thought about it for a long time and just casually filled in a few words. Who knew that I would pass the test in a blur. Well, it can't be helped. It seems like I was born to be their most distinguished guest."
As soon as he said that. Everyone was amused and angry at the same time. Was there such a thing? However, after thinking about it, no one doubted it. Back then, when this fellow was dragged away by a group of fairies, he really did not want to go up. He was indeed forced to go up.
Ming Zhao continued to seek confirmation. "Which eight words did you fill in?"
Miao Yi rubbed his chin as he recalled, "I think it was, 'Demons and ghosts, those who come are guests'. I think that's what I wrote, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. I can't remember clearly, but it should be this. "
Everyone was startled, including Ming Zhao. They were all thinking and muttering, "The law follows the heart. The extremity of Yin and Yang, demons and ghosts, those who come are guests … "
Everyone kept repeating it. They felt that Miao Yi's words were vague. However, they had to admit that it did feel like he was catering to the most distinguished guest. It didn't matter if it was a demon, a demon, a ghost, or a monster, they were all guests here. Perhaps this was really the case.
But … if he could pass the test even with this, everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that no matter how hard they racked their brains, it still couldn't compare to this fellow's random act.
Whether it was true or not, it was true that Miao Yi had passed the test. Zhongli Kuai stepped forward and asked, "What did Elder Mu Sen ask you to do?"
Miao Yi spread his hands. "I also want to know what they asked me to do."
Zhongli Kuai glared at him. "Nonsense! You're the one involved. If you don't know, who would? I don't think you're being honest! "
How could Miao Yi fall for this? He immediately retorted, "When I went up, I just stood there. Mu Sen and that Saintess kept circling around me, mumbling something that I couldn't understand. It was like they were chanting an incantation or praying. After they finished circling around, they asked me to come down. I asked them what they meant, but they didn't tell me. How would I know what they asked me to do? Big Beard, if you're so capable, help me translate what they were doing to me. "
"…" Zhongli Kuai was speechless. Everyone had heard Elder Mu Sen mumbling to the crossword. If it was really that, then they really couldn't understand it.
Ming Zhao sighed. "It should be the Fairy Clan's own language. Forget it! It doesn't matter to us whether you're the most distinguished guest or not. Everyone, don't forget the real reason you're here. That's what we should be doing. Everyone, get your spirits up. Tomorrow morning, we'll begin searching this area according to our plan. "
"Yes!" Everyone acknowledged the order and went back to their respective positions to meditate.
Early the next morning, when the sun had just broken through the horizon, Ming Zhao went to talk to Elder Mu Sen. When he came back, he made some arrangements. The thirteen of them were divided into six teams. Miao Yi and Zhongli Kuai followed Ming Zhao's team as before, and began their search with this area as the center.
The scenery of the area where the Fairy Clan gathered went without saying. Just the giant trees that were scattered everywhere were not something that could be seen in an ordinary place. Even the old vines in the forest were as thick as a person's thigh. There were also plants in the forest or in the treacherous valleys that would glow at night. Occasionally, they would stand beside a waterfall at night. The scene was like a dream, so beautiful that it made one's hair stand on end.
There were almost no larger animals in this area. Naturally, the area had been cleared to plant the Yellow Jasmine Twigs. If there were too many of them, the Yellow Jasmine Twigs would definitely be destroyed.
Needless to say, a place with such amazing growth of trees was definitely the best place to plant the Yellow Jasmine Twigs. As such, the Yellow Jasmine Twigs were basically planted under the big trees in this area. It was a tempting sight. However, Ming Zhao had ordered that no one was to touch them. Even though the Fairy Clan was in charge of taking care of these things, they were actually planted for Traversing Wood Palace. They were the main source of income for Traversing Wood Palace. Not only would it cause trouble for them if they were to touch their things, Traversing Sky Palace and Traversing Wood Palace were on the same side. They were both righteous people and had a good relationship with each other. If they were to steal something from them, not only would Traversing Wood Palace punish them, even Traversing Sky Palace wouldn't forgive their disciples.
Miao Yi was even reminded repeatedly not to touch the things here. This made him very unhappy. 'Who do they think I am? Do they have to remind me so many times?'
Truth be told, he did want to touch them. He had a few wives, so he had to have something to feed them! Even mortals in the secular world had to give their wives a bowl of rice to eat when they married. No woman would marry you just to sleep with you and serve you. You had to make a living, and to make a living, you had to have a source of income. When Yun Zhiqiu first came to Sky Street, she wanted to buy something but was short on money. Even Miao Yi couldn't bear to look at her and felt a little guilty!
If he could get his hands on so many Yellow Jasmine Twigs, he would definitely make a fortune … However, before he could find the Unparalleled Fiend Art and get his hands on the hidden treasures of the Devil Path's Sovereign, he wouldn't cause any trouble and ruin his plans. He wasn't at the point where he couldn't tell the severity of the situation. Instead, he reminded Zhongli Kuai not to touch other people's things so that he wouldn't get himself into trouble.
Zhongli Kuai was standing under a big tree, admiring a rare and large Yellow Jasmine Twigs. He felt insulted and roared, "You mind your own business!"
The days went by, and the months went by. No one made any discoveries, but they didn't give up easily either. They were afraid that they might miss something, so they kept taking turns to search the area.
A year later, Miao Yi was overjoyed when he found the central area between the three mountains. However, he remained calm and patient. He had no choice. He couldn't win against the Skytraversing Palace, so he could only silently estimate the location of the central area. He prepared to secretly set up a spot and find an opportunity to take it all for himself. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Miao Yi found the central area between the three mountains. It was an ordinary-looking rocky mountain. Due to the geology, there wasn't much growth on it. There were only some weeds and vines growing in the cracks between the rocks. However, the top of this mountain must have been flattened by someone a long time ago.
Miao Yi was distracted. It couldn't be such a coincidence. It seemed like the person who left the items here had marked the exact location so that it would be easier to find them. This was undoubtedly the central area between the three mountains.
Zhongli Kuai asked casually when he saw Miao Yi spacing out.
"Nothing." Miao Yi shook his head. He didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Ming Zhao looked around and suddenly said, "This place seems to be man-made. Judging from the weathering, it must have been here for a long time. There might be something fishy about it. Let's search carefully."
"That seems to be the case." Zhongli Kuai looked around and nodded in surprise. He immediately invoked his transcendence energy to search the area.
Miao Yi's heart tightened. He pretended to search as well.
The result was already set in stone. It was useless to use transcendence energy to search underground. It was a real rocky mountain, and there was nothing hidden inside.
Using the same method, the dozen of them used their transcendence energy to search the entire mountainous area. They didn't even let go of the bottom of the rivers and lakes, but they couldn't find any place that could hide anything. They only found some caves, which were naturally formed. They didn't find any treasures, but instead alerted the small animals hiding in the caves.
They didn't give up. They searched again and again, and after searching for three whole years, Skytraversing Palace finally gave up. Just as Miao Yi had guessed earlier, he suspected that the map was deliberately released by someone with ulterior motives in order to stir up trouble.
After three years of searching, Ming Zhao led the group to hover in the air and looked down at the ground. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Let's go back!" Ming Zhao waved his hand and quickly led the group away.
Everyone felt helpless as they returned home. Only Miao Yi was overjoyed. He had been closely watched, and he didn't dare to act rashly. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Now, it was time for him to work alone.
