Chapter 198 Red Mud Swamp
Xiaoyao Sect,
In an elegant house, Meng Bai and Gu Changze sat opposite each other.
Meng Bai was the first to ask, "I wonder what Elder Gu wants to talk to me about?"
"Elder Meng, I will get straight to the point. This time I come here to ask you to give up the opportunity to be promoted to the Inner Sect Elder."
Meng Bai raised the spiritual tea on the table and took a sip.
"I wonder which sect Elder Gu is representing this time."
Gu Changze dipped his finger in a little tea and slowly wrote the word "Mu" on the table.
"If Elder Meng is willing to give up, we will give Elder Meng a certain amount of compensation."
Meng Bai drank his tea and said calmly, "What is the compensation?"
"I saw Elder Meng posting a message in the Office Hall about the search for Bright Grass, Cassia Tree Heart, Fiery Snake Gallbladder, and Bodhi Pure Water."
"If Elder Meng is willing to give up his place in the inner sect, we can provide Elder Meng with the Bright Grass and information about three other spiritual materials."
Meng Bai raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
This condition was indeed good for him. He didn't want to enter the inner gate in the first place. If he agreed to Gu Changze today, he would be able to get a fourth-level spiritual material and three other spiritual materials for free.
"Elder Gu, I have a question?"
"Elder Meng, please speak."
"Even if I give up the quota, it may not be given to your faction, right?"
"Why go to such great lengths to persuade me?"
Gu Changze smiled and said, "As long as Elder Meng gives up, we will naturally find a way to convince Elder Wen."
Meng Bai nodded.
"In this case, I will agree to Elder Gu's request and give up the opportunity to enter the inner gate."
Hearing Meng Bai's answer, Gu Changze smiled and took out a jade box.
"The jade box of Elder Meng contains the Bright Grass, which represents my sincerity."
"After the matter is settled, we will help Elder Meng find information about the other three spiritual materials."
Meng Bai accepted the jade box given by Gu Changze with a smile.
"Thank you, Elder Gu."
......
The next day.
The inner sect elder Yan Guishan found Meng Bai's cave.
Yan Guishan said with a gloomy face: "I came here to ask Elder Meng if he is willing to join the Divine Fire Hall if he enters the inner sect."
There was a tone of unquestionable tone in his words.
The Shenhuo Hall is a branch of the inner sect, belonging to the sect leader's faction.
Meng Bai said calmly: "I'm afraid Elder Yan has misunderstood. I have already given up the idea of entering the inner gate."
Yan Guishan shouted, "Why give up for no reason?"
"Doesn't Elder Meng have any ambition to improve himself?"
Meng Bai shook his head: "Meng thinks the outer sect is more suitable for me."
Instantly, a powerful pressure from the fetus came towards Meng Bai. Yan Guishan said coldly, "Elder Meng, you have to think it over."
Meng Bai said calmly: "Why do you want to use your power to overwhelm others, Elder Yan? Although you have the cultivation level of a fetus, you cannot scare me. My decision will not change."
Yan Guishan glanced at Meng Bai coldly.
"Very good. I hope Elder Meng will not regret it in the future."
Then he left Meng Bai's cave angrily.
......
The seven days were up, and Elder Wen Zhi visited Meng Bai again.
Meng Bai said calmly: "Elder Wen, my answer is still the same as before."
Wen Zhi sighed upon hearing this: "It seems that I can only give this position to the Great Elder's faction."
"Elder Wen, the elders from both factions of the inner sect came to look for me a few days ago. The strange thing is that the elders from the great elder's faction wanted me to give up, but the elders from the sect leader's faction wanted me to enter the inner sect and join their faction."
"The sect leader's faction acted this way. I think the great elder's faction has convinced you."
Wen Zhi smiled bitterly: "The Great Elder has given me a lot of benefits. Since you don't want to enter the inner gate, I will offend people anyway, so it's better to get some benefits first."
Meng Bai nodded upon hearing this.
"Okay, I have to go back to the meeting hall, so I'm leaving now."
......
On the second day,
Elder Xu from the outer sect was promoted to the inner sect, and this promotion turmoil came to an end.
Meng Bai also returned to his daily practice.
Although Yan Guishan made some harsh words before leaving that day, Meng Bai belonged to the outer sect and was under the jurisdiction of Elder Wen Zhi. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he had not found a way.
Twenty years later, Meng Bai was promoted to the sixth level of Entering the Void with his genius talent for cultivation.
One day, Gu Changze came to Meng Bai's cave.
"Elder Gu, long time no see."
Gu Changze smiled and said, "Elder Meng, I came here today to tell you that we have found information about the Cassia Tree Heart, the Blazing Snake Gallbladder, and the Bodhi Pure Water."
Then Gu Changze handed a jade slip containing the message to Meng Bai.
Meng Bai bowed and said, "Thank you, Elder Gu."
"The message has been delivered, so I won't bother you any more, Elder Meng."
Gu Changze got up and left Meng Bai's cave.
Then Meng Bai probed his spiritual sense into the jade slip, and within a moment, information about the three spiritual materials appeared in Meng Bai's mind.
"With my current strength, it's a bit difficult to obtain the Bodhi Pure Water and the Cassia Tree Heart, but I can get this Flame Snake Gallbladder first."
The next day,
Meng Bai left Xiaoyao Sect and headed towards the Red Mud Swamp.
The flaming snake gallbladder is the snake gallbladder from the flaming snake.
The information provided by Gu Changze mentioned that the Flame Demon Snake is a fourth-level monster, and the Flame Demon Snake can be found in the red mud swamp.
Fifteen days later, Meng Bai arrived at the red mud swamp.
In addition to the flame snakes, the red mud swamp is also rich in red mud mushrooms.
Red mud mushroom is a second-level spiritual material with hallucinogenic, anti-toxic, and anti-heat effects.
It is one of the spiritual materials used to make many elixirs.
Every day a large number of monks come here to pick red mud mushrooms.
As soon as Meng Bai arrived at the Red Mud Swamp, a monk in yellow robes approached him and said, "Is this Taoist fellow here to pick red mud mushrooms as well?"
"Why don't you and I team up together so that we can look after each other in the red mud swamp."
Meng Bai shook his head and said, "No, I'm not here to pick mushrooms. Goodbye!"
Then Meng Bai went deep into the red mud swamp.
The Flame Snake is the overlord of the Red Mud Swamp and lives deep in the Red Mud Swamp.
However, Meng Bai wandered around in the depths of the swamp for several days but still couldn't find the flaming snake.
That day, Meng Bai did not find the flaming snake, but instead met the yellow-robed monk he had seen a few days ago.
"What a coincidence, fellow Taoist, we meet again."
At this moment, he was picking red mud mushrooms with four other monks.
"Who is Chen Tao?" asked the companion of the yellow-robed monk.
Chen Tao smiled and said, "I met this Taoist friend once outside the Red Mud Swamp."
"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My name is Meng Bai."
"This place is deep in the red mud swamp and is extremely dangerous. Would you like to join us, Brother Meng?" Chen Tao made another invitation.
The monk at the side said, "Forget about Chen Tao. He is born with a disability in both eyes. Even with the help of spiritual consciousness, his efficiency in picking red mud mushrooms is not even half as good as ours. Bringing him along is a complete burden."
Chen Tao shook his head slightly: "When we are out, we always have to take care of each other."
Meng Bai frowned slightly: "No, I'm still used to being alone, goodbye!"
Chen Tao seemed gentle on the surface, but Meng Bai's intuition told him that it was not that simple.
However, Meng Bai didn't want to explore the matter, so he walked away.
Chen Tao's companion said, "Look, this blind man doesn't even appreciate your kindness."
Chen Tao narrowed his eyes and said nonchalantly: "It seems that this Daoist Meng has no chance with us."
