Chapter 3104: Mu You's Helplessness

Looking at his wife, who had a blank expression and a cold glint shooting from her eyes, Mu You still wanted to feign ignorance.

But it was clear he couldn't get away with it this time; hearing this, his wife gave a cold smile and said.

"Oh, you don't know her? No problem, let me introduce you."

"What is my wife introducing me to?"

Hearing that, Mu You froze, not yet recovered, but the next second, a charming woman in a red dress walked out.

At the first sight of this alluring woman, Mu You's eyes nearly popped out; he gritted his teeth and said.

"How did you get here?"

In response, the alluring woman bowed slightly and spoke softly.

"I've missed you, my lord, so I came."

Upon hearing this, Mu You was so angry he laughed coldly, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice.

"Fine, fine, you really have a clever scheme."

Seeing Mu You's expression, his wife, who had originally been icy, also sensed something was off.

This alluring woman was naturally the Chen Xiang Mu You had mentioned; just now she had proactively sought out his wife and told her the whole story.

He had originally thought this was just his spouse being unfaithful again, with a wandering heart, but now it seemed the situation was not what he had imagined.

He did not ask further, merely gazing silently at Mu You.

Facing his wife's gaze, Mu You took a deep breath and spoke frankly.

"Madam, this woman is not human."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, not only his wife was stunned, but all the disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect present were also stunned.

"What do you mean she's not human?"

Everyone felt doubtful; how could they not understand what he meant?

Under everyone's gaze, Mu You then slowly said.

"Since the Immortal Realm underwent its transformation, our Human Race, Demon Race, and all living beings within the Immortal Realm have benefited, but besides that, another kind of living being has also undergone a transformation: the myriad heavenly treasures and earthly riches."

"Those spiritual fruits and immortal medicines, after gaining the benefits of the Immortal Realm's transformation, some have given birth to spiritual intelligence and cultivated divine abilities."

"Although the number of such transformed immortal medicines is small, each stalk is a priceless treasure, especially for us Pill Masters."

"This Chen Xiang is essentially a stalk of immortal herb; I have pursued it for years and finally pinpointed its location, which is why I acted this way."

Hearing Mu You's explanation, many disciples wore looks of surprise.

All kinds of heavenly treasures and earthly riches have thus transformed, yet they knew nothing about it.

But this is normal; such heavenly treasures and earthly riches that have gained spiritual intelligence and cultivated divine abilities are exceedingly rare throughout the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, few people know about this matter, and ordinary disciples find it hard to come into contact with it.

Moreover, even if they obtained such a treasure, with their pill-refining skills they would find it difficult to use it well.

That is why Mu You did all this………………

Just as everyone was silently pondering, suddenly Mu You's wife spoke.

"That doesn't warrant going to such lengths to pretend."

"Madam, if those folks from the Medicine King Immortal City found out, would I still get a share?"

"Then why don't you just take it for yourself?"

"Because it hasn't fully matured yet."

Huh???

Hearing that, everyone looked at Chen Xiang, her figure, and wondered if she wasn't mature yet.

No, she's not a person; how can we judge her by that?

I don't know whether she is a manifestation of an immortal herb, but Chen Xiang truly gives people an almost instinctual attraction, and to be frank, she really does smell wonderful.

Seeing Mu You say that, his wife did not press further, only saying.

"So what do you plan to do now?"

Since Chen Xiang's identity has been exposed, my husband's plan has surely failed; what should we do next?

Hearing that, Mu You gave a bitter laugh.

"What else can we do? We'll first imprison it within the sect, do our utmost to prevent the news from leaking out; those old fogeys from the Medicine King Immortal City are obsessed with such immortal herbs, and if they found out…………………"

However, before he could finish speaking, a loud laugh came.

"Haha, Brother Mu You, you've found an immortal herb that has gained intelligence, why didn't you tell us? It would be better if we all researched it together."

Hearing that, Mu You's face darkened; truly, what he feared had come to pass.

As his words fell, three figures soon appeared above the Dao One Immortal Sect, all wearing the Hundred Herbs Daoist robes of the Medicine King Immortal City.

Obviously, these three people are from the Medicine King Immortal City.

With the appearance of the three, everyone directly felt just how alluring this intelligence-endowed immortal herb was.

Just consider how little time has passed, and already the people from the Medicine King Immortal City have rushed over.

However, regarding the arrival of these three, Mu You is certainly not welcoming.

"This thing is about to go into my own pocket; how could there be any reason to share it? If I were to share it, even if I kept a portion, wouldn't I lose more than half?"

"If kept in his own hands, the entire stalk of immortal herb would belong to Mu You alone."

"But suddenly, as if thinking of something, his gaze turned to the red-dressed Chen Xiang below, and he spoke coldly."

"Did you inform them?"

"The Medicine King Immortal City arrived this quickly; it's obviously no coincidence, they must have received the news beforehand."

"Besides Chen Xiang, who else could have done that?"

This immortal grass, in order to protect itself, actually used itself as bait.

Although I don't know what agreement she reached with Medicine King Immortal City that made it willing to go this far, for Mu You it's clearly not a good thing.

He gazed silently at Chen Xiang, and without waiting for her answer, Mu You paused briefly and then continued speaking.

"Why go to such lengths? From the very beginning I told you, if you're willing to come to my Dao One Immortal Sect's Medicinal Garden, I won't harm your foundation or life; I only need the spiritual fruit you have condensed."

"I'll find you a good place to settle; just live there in peace. Now that you're secretly contacting Medicine King Immortal City, what difference could what they offer make? Could they even let you leave?"

"Chen Xiang's true form is a single Enlightenment Dao Treasure Tree; it branches out and spreads its leaves every hundred years, and even brewing its leaves into tea brings great benefit."

"And the Enlightenment Dao Fruit that forms once every thousand years is an even greater treasure; it not only guarantees entry into a state of sudden enlightenment, but also greatly aids cultivation methods in breaking through one's realm."

"Perhaps the bottleneck that had stalled them for years was broken simply because of this fruit."

"Besides that, it also enhances talent and comprehension; you should know that in this world, any treasure that is related to talent and comprehension is extremely precious."

"Mu You has long coveted Chen Xiang, and now it's naturally impossible for him to give up."

"Faced with these words, Chen Xiang simply steeled herself and spoke bluntly."

"I know; Medicine King Immortal City can't give me anything else either."

"Then what else..."

"But I just can't trust your Dao One Immortal Sect."

"Huh???"

"Upon hearing that, it would have been better not to say it; Mu You was stunned, and not only him—every Dao One Immortal Sect disciple present was stunned, and someone even couldn't help but retort."

"You don't believe my Dao One Immortal Sect? My Dao One Immortal Sect is the chief of the orthodox Dao, a renowned immortal sect, and you still don't believe?"
