Dream King

Chapter 127

Mo Mo nodded and said, "That's right, that's the thing. That's the bear demon's core. The core contains the bear demon's life essence and demonic power, and it's a rare treasure."

"Is it very valuable?" Jing Tian asked, his face showing both anticipation and trepidation.

Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly upon seeing this, but he quickly regained his composure before Jing Tian noticed. He exclaimed in amazement, "That's more than just valuable! Just based on the bear's appearance, that demon core alone could fetch at least tens of thousands of taels of gold, and there would be no market for it."

As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, Jing Tian plopped down on the ground, looking miserable. "It's over! My money! My Yong'an Pawnshop! My future happiness with Mao Mao is all gone!"

"What? You swallowed the demon core!" Mo Mo's surprise was genuine. He had indeed noticed something unusual last night, but after finding no danger, he didn't investigate further. He initially thought Jing Tian was just using the power of the demon core, but he never expected that he would actually swallow it directly.

You have to understand that a demon core is the crystallization of a demon's life essence and demonic power. The black bear demon had just died, and there were still traces of its consciousness remaining on the demon core. Its demonic power was extremely violent. It was already quite good that Jing Tian was able to borrow the power from the demon core. Unexpectedly, he actually swallowed it directly, and he didn't even get blown up by the violent energy. Mo Mo could only say, "The protagonist's halo is really strong."

After being dejected for a while, Jing Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. He stood up, grabbed Mo Mo's hand, and asked expectantly, "Will it still be useful if I poop it out? I ate it late at night, so it probably hasn't been fully digested yet."

Mo Mo "..."

Seeing that Mo Mo did not answer, Jing Tian was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up again.

"Since I've already eaten it, what's there to regret? In the future, when I introduce it to others, I can proudly say that I've eaten tens of thousands of taels of gold."

Jing Tian stood alone facing the giant bear's corpse for a while, then suddenly turned to Mo Mo and said, "Great Hero Mo, let's start learning now. I feel full of power right now."

Chapter 348 Departure

Three days later, outside Yuzhou City, two men, one in black and one in white, walked along the official road, looking travel-worn. The two men walked side by side, chatting and laughing, but the feeling they gave off was quite strange.

"Yuzhou City, I, Jing Tian, am finally back!" That's right, these two are Mo Mo and Jing Tian, who have returned from Mount Shu. They have been traveling in the wilderness for four days and have finally returned to Yuzhou City.

It must be said that Jing Tian truly deserves to be called the Chosen One, the reincarnation of Fei Peng. His talent is indeed extraordinary. In the three days after returning to Yuzhou City, he completely digested the demon core of the Black Bear Spirit and mastered the sword control technique of Mount Shu.

"Hey Mo, let's go have a big meal. Although your grilled food is delicious, I still prefer stir-fried dishes," Jing Tian suggested with a smile, completely oblivious to the stares of passersby.

Mo Mo looked Jing Tian up and down with a mischievous grin and said, "Hero Jing Tian, haven't you noticed anything amiss?"

"Something's not right?" Jing Tian said, glancing at Mo Mo, then at himself, before suddenly yelling, "Why didn't you remind me? Ahhh! My handsome image is completely ruined!"

Indeed, Jing Tian's claim of ruining his image is completely unfounded, because he doesn't have an image at all right now.

During the three days of their journey, Jing Tian was so engrossed in learning the sword control techniques taught by Mo Mo that he didn't pay any attention to his appearance. He spent most of his time learning sword moves while traveling during the day, and meditating to refine the demon core of the black bear spirit after eating at night. He had no time to take care of his personal hygiene, and since they were traveling through dense forests, his clothes were already tattered.

At this moment, Jing Tian was disheveled, his clothes were tattered and almost rags, and he looked more like a beggar than the beggars in Yuzhou City. People who were not very familiar with him would not recognize him at all.

"Go back quickly, take a shower, and change into clean clothes. I'll go back to the inn and order food and drinks for you, Master Jingtian." Mo Mo deliberately raised his voice when he said "Master Jingtian."

When Jing Tian saw that everyone around him was looking over, he was shocked. Without even answering, Mo Mo turned around and ran away. He was afraid that if he didn't run away, the people nearby would recognize him.

After Jing Tian left, Mo Mo returned to the inn and instructed the innkeeper to prepare a table of fine food and wine before returning to his room.

Back in his room, Mo Mo discovered that it had been ransacked. Although the person who ransacked his room tried their best to restore it to its original state, Mo Mo could still tell at a glance that the room had been disturbed. The silver that Mo Mo had deliberately left in the inn had been taken away.

Just then, the waiter came over and was startled when he saw Mo Mo. A look of obvious panic flashed in his eyes. At this point, Mo Mo realized that something had been moved from his room. However, Mo Mo didn't care, because he had deliberately placed the silver there.

Half an hour later, another waiter knocked on Mo Mo's door to inform him that the food and wine were ready. Mo Mo responded and went downstairs. At that moment, Jing Tian and Xue Jian also arrived.

The four were already old acquaintances, and Jing Tian and Xue Jian had even investigated the matter of the poisoners with Mo Mo. They could be considered good friends who had gone through life and death together. So, after sitting down at the table, they didn't stand on ceremony and started eating as soon as they picked up their chopsticks.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the four of them started talking more. Xuejian talked about her experiences during this time, while Jingtian boasted about his sights and sounds in Mount Shu.

When Xuejian said this, Momo and Jingtian realized that although Xuejian was still the eldest daughter of the Tang family, she had lost her status as the heir of the Tang family because Tang Tai had revealed Xuejian's identity, and Xuejian really did not like to be in charge of the entire Tang family.

Finally, when Jingtian told them that they were going to the God Realm, Xuejian and Xu Maoshan immediately said they wanted to go with them.

Xu Maoshan's reason was that Jingtian was his boss, and he would go wherever Jingtian went. Xuejian's reason was that she had grown up and wanted to go out and see the world. However, Mo Mo knew that Xuejian's real reason for going with them was only one: "Jingtian".

Since he was going on a long trip, he had to make some preparations. So Jing Tian borrowed some money from Mo Mo and redeemed Xu Maoshan and the others from the Tang family, becoming truly free. He also moved all his belongings from Yong'an out of the village.

During this time, something very interesting happened: the Demon Sword that Jing Tian lost on Mount Shu returned on its own and followed him everywhere. No matter where Jing Tian hid, it could find him. What shocked Jing Tian the most was that a very beautiful girl emerged from the sword and claimed to be his sister.

Finally, unable to resist her persistent pestering, Jing Tian had no choice but to take her with him and promise to help her find her "real brother." He also took out the long-sleeved fairy dress that had remained intact for a thousand years in Yong'an and put it on her.

Perhaps because so much had happened during this time, Xuejian was jealous when she saw Longkui clinging to Jingtian, but she didn't make a scene. Instead, she asked Jingtian to explain. After understanding Longkui's situation, Xuejian felt quite sympathetic towards her. Although she was still wary of her, she was no longer hostile.

At this moment, Xu Changqing finally arrived in Yuzhou City and embarked on a journey to find the Five Elemental Pearls with everyone. The sudden appearance of Long Kui aroused Xu Changqing's suspicion. Just as he was questioning her, the gentle and docile Long Kui unexpectedly became very fierce, and her whole body turned red. Apart from Mo Mo, no one believed what Xu Changqing said.

Longkui looks like a flesh-and-blood person, clearly a gentle and lovely girl next door. How could she possibly be a fierce and powerful ghost?

Seeing that no one believed him, Xu Changqing stopped explaining. He would perform a ritual to help Long Kui pass on to the afterlife, and the truth would naturally come out.

So the group continued on their journey. Perhaps because it was their first time leaving Yuzhou City, they were all exceptionally excited. They looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest, showing no seriousness about saving the world, but rather as if they were on a picnic.

In the evening, Mo Mo and his group arrived at a place called Yongning Village. When they arrived at the village's only inn, all the rooms were empty, but the innkeeper said it was full and refused to let them check in.

After inquiring, it was learned that on the night of the fifteenth of last month, a man died mysteriously in the inn. The innkeeper was afraid that such a thing would happen again and cause him trouble, so he required everyone to sign a death waiver before they could stay overnight.

After signing the waiver of life and death, everyone finally settled down. However, the inn not only housed Jing Tian and his group, but also Zi Xuan, a descendant of Nuwa who had been infatuated with Xu Changqing for three lifetimes.

After making the bed, Mo Mo suddenly heard arguing downstairs. He opened the window and saw Wan Yuzhi and Master Liu talking in the inn, while Jing Tian and Xue Jian were eavesdropping outside the door.

It turns out that Wan Yuzhi's husband was seriously ill and on the verge of death. However, Mr. Liu, who had once received kindness from her husband, was ungrateful and refused to help her. He even took advantage of his drunkenness to harass Wan Yuzhi, claiming that if she left her dead husband, he would guarantee her a life of luxury.

Upon seeing this, Xuejian and Jingtian couldn't help but feel pity for Wan Yuzhi and deeply resent Master Liu for his ingratitude.

After Master Liu and Wan Yuzhi left, Jing Tian and Xue Jian gathered Mo Mo and Xu Changqing together and told them what had just happened.

However, Xu Changqing did not think so. He felt that Wan Yuzhi was not a simple person because he sensed a demonic aura about her.

Chapter 349 Chapter 361 Zi Xuan

The next day, as soon as it was light, Jingtian started clamoring for Xu Changqing to take him to the grove outside the village to learn the magic and swordsmanship of Mount Shu.

Although Mo Mo could teach him, Jing Tian didn't want Mo Mo to teach him anymore. Although Mo Mo taught very well, the process wasn't pleasant, as he might use some excuse to mess with him. So he chose someone else who could teach him.

Mo Mo smiled slightly as he watched the two leave the inn. He knew that Jing Tian would soon discover Master Liu, who had been drained of his life force and died in the woods.

Sure enough, not long after the two left, news came that another person had died in the village. Xuejian and the others, who loved to join in the fun, immediately decided to go and see what was going on.

The four rushed to the scene of the incident. On the way, Xuejian, because of Jingtian, suddenly snatched Longkui's umbrella and chased after Xu Maoshan, hitting him. The two chased and ran away in an instant. Longkui, without her umbrella, suddenly turned pale and groaned as she collapsed to the ground.
