No hope for eternal life

Chapter 270 You Po Ling's Answer

Seeing that Mu Changsheng looked a little stiff, You Poling jokingly said, "Why? Did Junior Brother Mu's contribution come from an illegal source?"

Mu Changsheng's palms were slightly sweaty, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. You Poling was right. His contribution points were really not obtained in a legitimate way. Although the sect did not prohibit disciples from transferring contribution points to each other, the transaction between him and Yi Qianhuan was shameful.

The transaction is secondary now. The most important thing is that once Mu Changsheng explains that his contribution value comes from the guest elder Yi Qianhuan, wouldn't he be announcing to the whole world that he has accepted benefits from Yi Qianhuan? By then, I am afraid that people all over the world will regard him as a member of the demon clan.

"It's really hard to guard against." Mu Changsheng felt bitter in his heart. Only now did he come to his senses. Yi Qianhuan had previously settled the bill with contribution points instead of top-grade spirit stones, which was a deliberate plot against him.

Mu Changsheng, haven't you always wanted to distance yourself from my demon clan? I will make sure you don't.

Seeing that Mu Changsheng had been silent, You Poling finally realized that something was wrong. He weighed the contribution coins in his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "Junior Brother Mu, the contribution coins are in my hands. You must give an explanation today. I advise you not to lie."

Mu Changsheng was even more helpless after hearing this, and could only bite the bullet and say: "Except for my own contribution of more than 900 points, the rest all came from Elder Yi."

Although saying this may sound like trying to cover up one's own faults, all Mu Changsheng can do now is to try to make the number of contribution points from Yi Qianhuan as small as possible.

When You Poling heard Mu Changsheng's answer, he felt relieved. He thought that Mu Changsheng's contribution points really came from illegal sources.

"The reason why the sect has this rule is because there have been examples in the past of fellow disciples killing each other and competing for contribution points." You Poling explained.

"I see." Mu Changsheng nodded to show his understanding.

"Since you have already explained the source, we will at most go to Elder Yi to verify it in the future. There is no need to worry. In addition, only the two sect leaders and I have the right to know about this matter, so you don't have to worry about the news leaking out." You Poling said soothingly.

Mu Changsheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The sect was relatively protective of the privacy of its disciples. At least he didn't have to worry that everyone in the world would know about this.

After asking about the source of the contribution points, You Po Ling immediately took out the inheritance jade slips of the Five Thunders Body Forging Technique and passed the secret technique information to Mu Changsheng. He then said: "You need to swear a great oath to the inner demon that you must not pass on the secret technique to others."

Mu Changsheng was already familiar with this, and he immediately made a great vow to overcome his inner demons.

After finishing the work, Mu Changsheng did not leave in a hurry, but asked You Poling something: "Big Brother, I saw in the history of the Nine Realms on the first floor that the death of Senior Mo Xuansheng was related to the old patriarch of the You clan, You Wuye. I wonder if it is true or not?"

Mu Changsheng dared to ask this question because he saw that You Poling acted uprightly and wanted to see what he had to say.

Seeing Mu Changsheng asking about Mo Xuansheng's death, You Po Ling was not too surprised. Without hesitation, You Po Ling gave a positive answer: "Since the sect recorded it this way, there must be a connection."

"What's the specific relationship?" Mu Changsheng asked.

You Po Ling shook his head slightly and said, "I was born late and did not personally experience the turmoil ten thousand years ago. I don't know the inside story. The elders of the sect are also very secretive about that matter. The reason why I think there is a connection is because of the performance of the You Clan. The You Clan has been trying to apologize to the Demon Clan for many years, but the Demon Clan is unwilling to accept it. The reason why the old patriarch of the You Clan abdicated was because of what happened that year, and he took the initiative to abdicate."

"Alas!" Mu Changsheng sighed lightly. He confirmed that Mo Xuansheng's death was indeed related to You Wuye, but this was not good news. Mo Xuansheng was already dead, so what was the use of an apology?

If You Wuye, a ninth-realm cultivator, were asked to commit suicide to apologize, it would be impossible. After all, You Wuye was not only a ninth-realm cultivator of the You clan, but also the pillar of the human race. If You Wuye really died, it would weaken the overall strength of the human race.

So, after all, the conflict between the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan is destined to have no solution.

You Poling continued to explain, "Ten thousand years ago, the seven great demons dominated the world, and the situation was much more complicated than it is now. There may be other reasons behind what happened back then, otherwise the Ji clan, which has always put benevolence and righteousness first, would not have supported the You clan all these years. The sect has also been trying to repair the relationship between the two clans for so many years, which can explain some of the situation. Speaking of which, the relationship between the You clan and the Demon clan was originally very good, because the Demon clan's ancestor Mo Kuangsheng and You Wushuang were sworn friends who had sworn the Heart Demon Oath. Later, when Mo Kuangsheng died, the You clan also helped the Demon clan a lot. It's a pity that the relationship between the two clans may never go back to the past. Of course, I'm not telling you this to make excuses for the You clan, I just want to tell you some facts, and I hope you can make a correct judgment."

"Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up my doubts." Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and said sincerely. He began to admire this senior brother who spoke frankly from the bottom of his heart.

"Practice well. No matter what, it's always right to break through through practice." You Poling patted Mu Changsheng's shoulder.

Mu Changsheng nodded in agreement and said goodbye, "Junior brother, goodbye."

After leaving Cangjing Peak, Mu Changsheng went to Lingzang Peak to buy some spiritual objects needed to practice the Five Thunder Body Tempering Secret Technique.

Seeing Xia Rong, Mu Changsheng said straight to the point: "Senior Sister, I want ten hundred-year-old lightning woods, ten thousand-year-old lightning woods, and ten fourth-grade Xiao Huan Dan. How many contribution points do I need?"

Xia Rong did a quick calculation and gave the answer: "Nine hundred contribution points."

Mu Changsheng handed over 1,900 contribution gold coins and said, "In addition to those, give me another 1,000 top-grade spirit stones."

Mu Changsheng originally planned to directly exchange it for 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, but because the remaining contribution points all came from Yi Qianhuan, he could only use as little as possible.

Mu Changsheng now feels like although he has a lot of contribution points, he still has to be careful when using them.

As usual, Xia Rong asked about the source of the contribution points. After learning that it came from Yi Qianhuan, she did not ask any more questions. Because she was born in the world of heaven and man, she has always stood on the sect's side and remained neutral on the affairs of the ghost clan and the demon clan.

However, seeing Mu Changsheng spend so much contribution points at once, Xia Rong was worried for Mu Changsheng and said, "Junior Brother Mu, it's a bit of a loss to exchange these contribution points for top-grade spirit stones. It's better to keep them and use them on the blade in the future."

Mu Changsheng was a little confused when he heard this. He couldn't tell Xia Rong that he still had more than 90,000 contribution points. He could only say gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Sister, but I really need this batch of top-grade spirit stones."

Seeing that Mu Changsheng had made up his mind, Xia Rong didn't say anything more. He collected the contribution points and gave Mu Changsheng top-grade spirit stones and spiritual materials.

Everything is ready, and all Mu Changsheng needs to do next is to practice in seclusion.

So, Mu Changsheng bid farewell to Taoist Master Nan, boarded the ferry back to Tianshui Realm, and began to retreat.

It is not difficult to change the practice of the Body Refining Secret Technique, because the physical strength of the cultivator has already been tempered. What needs to be done is to abolish the original characteristics of the Body Refining Secret Technique and instead cultivate new characteristics of the Body Refining Secret Technique.

But to actually do it is actually quite dangerous, because the characteristics of the secret technique have long been inseparable from the cultivator's physical body during the practice process.
