Mu Lao saw her expression gradually relax, stroked his beard and smiled: "Thanks to the white one, you got your jade back. If there's no return, it would only add to the obstacles of cultivation. Lin Yaotou, what do you want? It can also be considered as helping this old man, so I won't fall into heart demon?"

  Lin Luoran didn't quite understand what Mo Luo was talking about, and he didn't know that the old man's words were actually quite vague. He tilted his head in thought for a moment, "I recently happened to learn a small spell to release fireballs, but I don't have my master here to guide me. May I ask for your guidance, seniors?"

  Agreed to Wen Guanjing's "Bermuda Night", but always can't even master effective spells, let alone two, otherwise it's not just a question of whether one's identity will be exposed or not, one's own safety is the first priority.

  Looking at the two elders exchanging a glance, seemingly surprised that her master didn't teach her any techniques, Lin Luoran felt anxious in her heart, but didn't show it on her face. She also knew that making up an excuse was best, but one lie would need more lies to cover it up, and there would always be a time when the truth comes out. Lin Luoran decided to pretend and gamble - if someone discovered the truth, she could take Lin Dad, Lin Mom, and Luo Dong with her and hide deep in the mountains until they were strong enough to come out again, which wasn't a bad plan after all, but it was still a last resort.

  Actually, Mu Lao and Guo Lao were surprised, not because Lin Luoran saw through her as a paper tiger, but because her demands were not equivalent to the value of the jade.

  The small spell of releasing fireballs, even in the current declining Xiu Jian world, is still a common skill that everyone has. It's not a particularly precious secret technique. On the other hand, the jade Lin Luo Ran took out can be directly absorbed by the human body without refining, and its effect on Guo Lao's injuries is obvious. If it can be provided for a long time, the time saved in cultivation will be at least twice as much as others.

  "Lin Yaotou, do you know how precious the jade you took out is?"

  Lin Luoran was stunned, could it be that precious? She herself had only spent a short few minutes to create a piece of spiritual jadeite, and didn't know that in the eyes of this elder who had reached the foundation building stage before her, it was also considered very precious.

  Lin Luo realized too late that his cultivation days were numbered after being defeated by Laozi.

  "You must have encountered great luck, or you wouldn't have realized the hardships of cultivation. Since the spiritual energy dwindled a thousand years ago, even the remaining spiritual energy has become restless and unstable... Ordinary cultivators absorb spiritual energy, but they need to spend three times or more time to refine it... Even with a lifespan of two hundred years, those with poor aptitude are dragged down by time in this extremely time-consuming cultivation, unable to reach the foundation period. Moreover, due to the violent spiritual energy, the medicinal properties of heaven and earth have changed, making all previous alchemy formulas useless. The elixirs that assist cultivators in their cultivation have become exceptionally rare... This is why no one has been able to advance to the Core Formation Period. You can imagine how precious this spiritual energy jade is, which can be directly absorbed by the human body."

  Mu Lao said "no one has entered the Dan stage" and paused, thinking of Lin Luo Ran's mysterious master behind him. According to their calculations, wasn't he a senior in the Dan stage?

  Lin Luo listened carefully, thinking that her master had not told her about the hardships of cultivation - it was also likely that being able to produce such a fine spiritual energy jade, this problem that troubled ordinary cultivators might not be worth mentioning in her master's eyes, so why mention it and affect her disciple's cultivation?

  Mu Lao suddenly stopped talking, and Lin Luo Ran was secretly anxious. What she lacked most now was knowledge of the current situation in the cultivation world. Mu Lao had suddenly stopped the topic, leaving her helpless.

  Guo Lao took out a small booklet from his bosom and handed it to Lin Luoran. Seeing the yellowed pages with the four big characters "Five Elements Spell", Lin Luoran took it in surprise, containing a thread of incredulity. The spell of the cultivator she had been thinking about day and night was now in her hands?

  "Hey, don't be surprised. This is just a common little trick in the cultivation world. If you like it, take it and play with it, I'll give it to you."

  "Thanks, Old Guo!" Lin Luo's heartfelt thanks were sincere and genuine. The ordinary technique for others was the most precious thing for her. Especially when she flipped to the first page, it turned out to be the fireball technique that Wen Guangjing had once performed, which Lin Luo had practiced for half a day without success, making her even more delighted.

  Watching Lin Luo Ran's excitement, both elders secretly praised her kind heart. However, it was just a basic manual of techniques; how could it compare to the favor of prolonging one's lifespan? They still needed to repay her with something else, but what could be given that would catch the eye of this Dan Condensing stage senior's high-ranking disciple? This was indeed a difficult problem.

  Mu Lao saw her delight and temporarily put aside the thought of returning the gift. With a flicker of his mind, he pinched two hand seals with his right hand, and four earth mounds suddenly rose from the ground. Lin Luo Ran felt the fluctuation of spiritual energy and didn't understand what Mu Lao was doing for a moment. She stared at Mu Lao's hand seals without blinking, while also releasing her divine sense to perceive the spiritual energy fluctuations. Lin Luo Ran had neglected the spiritual energy fluctuations when casting spells after failing to learn the fireball technique, so this time she naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity again.

  It was only a short time before the four piles of earth that Old Mo had conjured up with his magic gradually took shape, forming into the shape of a table and three stools.

  In the eyes of ordinary people, it was like a magic trick, but Lin Luo Ran felt that the earthy brown spiritual particles on the ground were constantly moving. Looking at the formed mud table and stool, she suddenly realized that the earthy brown spiritual particles were actually the spiritual particles of the earth attribute?

  "Ah, old man, this mud is soft and wet, the stool can't be sat on by anyone!" Lin Luo Ran thought that Mu Lao still had some tricks up his sleeve, so he intentionally said some reverse words to stimulate him, letting the old man have a sense of accomplishment, and show off a few more techniques. Lin Luo Ran naturally didn't object to this, as it meant he could get a free lesson or two.

  Mu Lao just smiled, Lin Luo's little trick couldn't deceive him who had lived for over a hundred years, but as she was quite a good junior, he somewhat indulged her and didn't expose her little thoughts.

  "Look closely, Lin!" Old Mu's right hand suddenly changed its seal, the speed of the seal was exceptionally slow, but it was different from the previous earth gathering technique and Wen Guanjing's fireball technique. Every movement of his fingers had a solemn feeling of swords clashing, golden spiritual particles responded to his technique in the thin spiritual environment, even Old Mu's expression became serious, not as relaxed as when he gathered the earth into a table. "Technique complete! Go!" A golden light split from his palm, the golden spiritual energy collided with the remaining earth spiritual energy, producing intense sparks, and surrounded by the soft and wet mud table and stool, flames actually ignited!

  Is this the firing of those mud stools? Lin Luo looked at the jumping flames, feeling her own heart beating, she dared to guarantee 100% that Mu Lao had not mobilized the fire spirit energy, then where did these flames come from?

  Guo Lao coughed twice, seeing that the old master was still trying to deceive the young girl with his mysterious Taoist techniques despite his advanced age. How could he do this? He was also a junior in cultivation, and this was too unscrupulous.

  "Laomu, the fire attribute upheaval between Jintu will only be available after the foundation period, and you're using it to deceive people!"
