When Chu Ran returned to the room, Mo Jue had disappeared.
"Leaving so soon?" She thought he would never leave.
"Who left?" Mercury followed the door, hearing these words filled his mind with questions.
She shook her head, "Nothing."
He glanced at the empty space above his head and ordered: "Find some carpenters and repair the roof as soon as possible. Then pack up the things and move them to the guest room. I will stay there temporarily until the repairs are completed."
"Okay, miss." Mercury agreed immediately.
He looked well-behaved and respectful. As Chu Ran watched, his aura softened unconsciously, "Don't be so stupid in the future. When you should hide, just stay away! Don't be like today again. If I had taken action too late, you would have died."
Got it!"
"But the lady was still in the house at that time, how could I hide alone?" She couldn't do such a thing!
"I don't need such protection," Chu Ran said decisively, "Next time, don't follow me."
One sentence blocked all the rebuttals of Mercury. He lowered his head and said reluctantly, "I understand."
"Go down." Chu Ran waved her hand, and when she left, she immediately crossed her legs and fell into meditation, and her spiritual consciousness sank into the sea of qi.
The spiritual power in the sea of qi is abundant, slowly nourishing the two spheres, one large and one small.
The big one is the Fire Spirit Root. Its volume is half larger than before, and at the top, there is a faint red thing that looks like a sprout sprouting out.
The color also changed from red with gold to dark red.
"Advanced!?" Chu Ran was slightly surprised.
The riot of spiritual power just now not only allowed her to achieve continuous breakthroughs, but also caused her spiritual roots to change from the first level to the second level!
As long as she reaches the next level, she can practice the skills of her previous life.
That is a fire-based skill [Burning Heaven Jue] that only people with third-grade spiritual roots can learn at the beginning!
An advanced technique that is extremely lethal and can change as the spiritual root level increases.
"Speaking of which, this is all its fault."
Chu Ran looked at the small ball of chaos next to the fire spirit root.
It has also changed a lot. Not to mention the increase in size, there are actually strands of milky white light flowing in the chaos.
"What the hell is this?" she murmured.
Such a huge spiritual energy riot can only be matched by the news of the birth of divine weapons and magical medicines.
But such a thing could not appear in the original owner, not to mention that she had never heard of anything in the world that could swallow so much spiritual energy!
She really couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it and just made a decision in her heart.
If you want to break through in the future, you must choose a secret place that is inaccessible to people, and you must not absorb such a large amount of the power of the elixir.
Otherwise, if this happens a few more times, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
On the other side, after Mu Tianyang left the General's Mansion, he rode back to the palace alone.
Three secret guards followed in secret. When they turned the corner of the intersection, a faint sound of breaking through the air suddenly came to their ears!
"alert.
Before they could finish their words, the acupuncture points of the three of them were hit by spiritual power at the same time, turning them into wooden piles that could neither speak nor move!
"What's the sound?" Mu Tianyang heard the high-pitched sound and was about to turn his head when his vision suddenly went dark!
Someone grabbed his shoulder, and his body instantly flew into the air, hitting him hard in a dirty and muddy alley on the left.
His internal organs seemed to have shifted, and the pain caused him to vomit a mouthful of blood on the spot.
His face was blocked by something, and his vision was dark.
He struggled, grabbing the thing on his face randomly, trying to get it away, "Who! Who dares to sneak attack Gu!"
What answered him was a sharp sound that broke through the sky.
The next moment, he was kicked away mercilessly.
"Gu...Gu is the current crown prince...ah!"
The body was kicked out again.
Land, kick, then land, fly again.
The whole person is like a ball, falling and flying in an infinite loop.
Mu Tianyang has never tried to use spiritual power, but the speed of gathering spiritual energy is always one step slower than the opponent!
"Bang!"
The body fell down again, and his face hit the ground hard, breaking a tooth!
He groaned in pain, his consciousness had become blurry, his eyes were so swollen that he could not even open them, and he lay on the ground like a pile of mud.
In a blur, the thing covering his head was pulled away, and there was a sound above his head.
"If your mouth is so unclean again, it will be your tongue that falls out next time!"
The voice was deliberately lowered, and it sounded vaguely familiar.
Mu Tianyang trembled and tried his best to open his eyes, but only saw a blurry figure.
His eyes were completely plunged into darkness, and he fainted.
Half an hour later, some people passing by found him in a dark alley, but by this time his face was swollen like a pig's head, his breath was weak, and his body was covered in blood.
The people immediately reported the matter to the police, and the city guards who patrolled the city arrived. Only then did they find three secret guards in a corner not far away, with their acupuncture points tapped, and they were able to identify Mu Tianyang's identity!
In just two days, the news that the prince was severely beaten in a dark alley, together with the sudden spiritual riot over the general's mansion, became a hot topic in the imperial city!
Everywhere you go, you can hear people talking.
Chu Ran also heard about this incident from Sui Yin while having lunch.
"That man was cruel. I heard that he didn't even use his spiritual power, so he beat the prince seriously until he was seriously injured. Some people even picked up his lost teeth in the alley."
Mercury said enthusiastically, feeling extremely happy.
"My slave, the prince deserves to be called this way! Either he yelled at the young lady, or he wanted to hurt the young lady. Evil will be punished. Now you will be punished for kicking the iron plate, right?"
Chu Ran said nothing and fell into deep thought.
Two days ago, wasn't that what happened after he left the General's Mansion?
In addition, the person who did it didn't use his spiritual power, so he beat Mu Tianyang until he couldn't resist...
Somehow, she suddenly thought of the man who left suddenly and silently that day.
"Could it be him?"
She shook her head and rejected this guess.
Mo Jue had no contact with him that day, let alone any enmity. He couldn't do something like this just because Mu Tianyang scolded her, right?
"Miss, do you know who did it?" Mercury exclaimed, then lowered his voice and asked with a mysterious and curious look, "Who is it?"
"Who knows, maybe it's someone who hates him." Chu Ran didn't take this matter to heart and listened to it for fun.
Continue to eat.
Picking up the dish with wooden chopsticks and bringing it to her lips, she moved the tip of her nose and smelled an almost imperceptible smell!
That is definitely not what should be in the dish!
Chu Ran immediately put down his chopsticks and released his spiritual consciousness, covering the plate of dishes.
It’s easy to capture the traces of aura belonging to the elixir!
The spiritual sense wrapped around it, and soon I could identify what it was from the spiritual energy.
The face with a slight smile is as cold as frost, and the dark jade-like eyes are full of dangerous undercurrents.
Heart-biting Powder, a ninth-level poison.
Once you take it, you will suffer from the heart-gnawing pain of thousands of insects day and night, but you will not die immediately, but in the painful torture, your internal organs, skin and flesh will be slowly corroded by the poison, and you will die of pain!
Chu Ran was a little curious.
Who could be this person who poisoned the food?
Is it Zheng Jinhua? Chu Tian? Or is it the alchemist who lives in the General's Mansion?
