Master, don't you think it's strange? On the way back, Mr. Jian suddenly spoke out.

Li Qingniu paused in his steps, and asked in his mind: What do you think is strange?

Mr. Jian said: Yun Tian's injury is strange, at that time you clearly gave him time to dodge, with his strength, there is no reason for him to miss such an obvious opportunity, and why did he suddenly become so eager to win? This was also unlike his usual style.

Maybe Senior Brother Yun was distracted because he had something on his mind.

Mr. Jian shook his head: It is impossible for someone like him to make such a mistake in battle, and Master still remembers seeing him standing in front of Uncle Flawless Flower on more than one occasion, remaining silent for a long time.

Li Qingniu nodded and replied, Yes, I remember. However, trees are rarely seen on Heavenly Star Mountain, and other junior brothers and sisters often chat or think under the trees.

Mr. Jian laughed. "Master is too kind, have you forgotten? What Yun Tian had was a Wood Type Martial Spirit.

You want to say that he covets the wood power within the Leafless Flowering Tree?

Mr. Jian nodded his head: Yes, I think there is a high possibility that he found out about the Leafless Flowering Tree's secret, I think it is because its cultivation is still not high enough, and hastily absorbed such a large amount of wood spirit energy, if he is unable to turn it into his own, the surplus energy would be wasted, so he had been waiting, waiting for his own cultivation to be completely absorbed, but Master's appearance messed up his plans.

Could it be that he already knows that I have a wood type Martial Spirit in my body?

Since he was sure that his master didn't have any martial spirit, he would make this deduction. Regardless of whether he was sure or not, he had to make a move before you, even if it meant wasting this rare spiritual energy, and because of his master's pressure, he was in a hurry to increase his strength so as to avoid being completely suppressed by his master. Without a doubt, this was the best time for everyone to go out and train, and it was also the best time to absorb wood spiritual energy.

Li Qingniu understood in his heart that the Sword Spirit's words were very reasonable, but he still hoped that Yun Tian wasn't hurt because of this reason.

He still hoped that Yun Tian would still be that elegant Yun Tian who led the way for everyone, and not the Yun Tian that the Mr. Jian had mentioned with his crafty and unpredictable thoughts.

Therefore, it was best for the master to strike first to gain the upper hand before going through the trial.

You want me to forcefully absorb the wood spirit's power? However, if my cultivation cannot be completely converted, then I will waste that spirit energy.

At least with the help of that spirit energy, I can immediately help you awaken the Wood Type Martial Spirit. Although the majority of it will eventually be wasted, it's still better than being taken by someone else.

Li Qingniu thought for a moment and said: I still can't make a decision on this matter, wait for me to consider.

The master had better make up his mind before he left.

I know.

After seeing Old Master, Elder Ling Yun told him about Yun Tian's injuries, in the hopes that he could keep him here to recuperate.

In the beginning, the others were still unwilling, since there had never been such a precedent in the Celestial Star Sect, and once a gap was opened, the disciples behind it, if they did not want to participate in the trial, they would injure themselves, and then, the rules of the Celestial Star Sect would disappear completely.

However, the law was fair. With Elder Ren Yun's efforts and his current condition, it was impossible for him to reach his goal of experimenting, and it might even implicate other fellow disciples.

After some consideration, the crowd finally agreed to have Yun Tian stay behind to recuperate, but they requested Elder Ling Yun to instruct the Lingyun Hall's disciples not to reveal the reason, or else the entire hall would be punished. If any disciples from the other halls asked, they would tell them to send a mission for him to go out to recuperate.

The last few days went by step by step. Every day, he would cultivate, rest, and visit Yun Tian's body again and again.

Day after day, the day to set off for the Wilderness was quickly approaching. Mr. Jian once again reminded Li Qingniu to not let go of this opportunity to awaken the Wood Type Martial Spirit.

Even though it could have been absorbed by Yun Tian in the end even if he didn't absorb it himself, and then die a horrible death, dying in the hands of another person compared to his own, was after all different. In the end, Li Qingniu still decided to give up on absorbing the Leafless Flowering Tree's spirit energy.

You really won't regret it? You really don't regret it? Mr. Jian sighed and asked.

Li Qingniu replied with a determined tone: "I have decided to rely on my own strength to awaken, if I cannot even awaken my martial spirit, what kind of battle do I have to pay respects to the one who destroyed my Xiao Man Village?" Relax, I will use my own strength to prove that I can do it even if I don't need Leafless Flowering Tree.

Sigh, fine, since this is your decision, I won't force you.

Li Qingniu nodded his head: And I also believe that Senior Brother Yun Tian was blinded by jealousy at the moment, he will eventually get back at him.

I hope your idea is correct. If Yun Tian really can put aside his grudges and focus on cultivation, then in a few years, his cultivation will reach the starry sky.

Two days later, the new disciples, who had already made all their preparations, were filled with curiosity and anticipation towards the trial. They were filled with yearning and apprehension as they followed their Senior Brothers and Sisters on their journey to the Wilderness.

Although the trial was conducted by all the disciples of the Celestial Star Sect, the various halls were still divided into groups. Different routes were used to head to the meeting point, and only after all the disciples had reached the meeting point, would the missions begin to be assigned.

Not far from the group formed by the Lingyun Hall, there was a carriage following them from afar, which looked like a merchant caravan.

The convoy was naturally Gu Ruoqing's. Originally, because the place they were going to was rather dangerous, Li Qingniu did not tell him when they would set off, but he seemed to have gotten the news from others.

The procession that was waiting for Li Qingniu on the road passed by early in the morning, but after some persuasion, it was still to no avail.

Senior Brother, that girl is yours? Murong Lanyu moved closer to Li Qingniu and asked softly as they walked.

She's the friend I told you I saved. Li Qingniu replied indifferently.

Murong Lanyu continued: "I was on the way here, Senior Brother, you have always been yearning for that Miss Gu. It turns out that Senior Brother Tianmu wanted to tell me this, I was really slow on the uptake.

Now she finally understood what Muyanhao wanted to say that day, but hesitated.

So it turned out that everything was wishful thinking for me. Murong Lanyu lowered her head as she thought in her heart.

While they were passing by the carriages, Murong Lanyu sneaked a glance at the girl that she seemed to be extremely familiar with. Gu Ruoqing was the type of girl that even if women saw him, they would not be able to resist the urge to love him.

When she saw Gu Ruoqing, Murong Lanyu suddenly felt that she couldn't compare to him at all. Although in the eyes of most people, she could already be considered a beauty that could easily move others, until today, she still thought so.

However, when he saw Gu Ruoqing, he could not help but admit that he could not compare to this Miss Gu who had always existed in Li Qingniu's heart.

Junior-apprentice Sister Lanyu, why do you seem so unhappy all of a sudden? Li Qingniu saw her expression suddenly become sad, and could not help but ask.

I... I'm just a little homesick. Murong Lanyu immediately found an excuse.

Li Qingniu comforted her and told her that after this training was over, he would help her to request for Master and tell her to go back and see her family.

Unknowingly, the sky had already darkened, and everyone began to find a place to camp and rest.

Gu Ruoqing took out a sumptuous dinner to entertain the crowd, so she had a soft spot for others to eat and her hands for others. Of course, there was a reason for Gu Ruoqing to be able to smoothly follow behind the group, but these things were not worth mentioning to Gu Ruoqing.

Everyone said that they were dragging Li Qingniu down with them, and hearing these words in Murong Lanyu's ears, naturally had a different taste.

Seeing that the others were chatting heartily around the furnace, Murong Lanyu sat on a rock far away from the river and raised her head to look at the starry sky.

Junior-apprentice Sister Lanyu was looking at the stars? Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Murong Lanyu turned and saw Fenggu Zhengyun slowly walking over and asking.

No, I'm looking at the moon. Murong Lanyu continued to speak faintly: The brilliance of the moon is always so dazzling. No matter how dazzling the surrounding stars are, they are unable to conceal its existence.

Yes, Junior Brother Taurus is such a moon-like existence. Fenggu Zhengyun also raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky as she muttered.

Murong Lanyu sighed: That's right, among all the stars, which one was he the one keeping watch over?

Ha, since you like the Cyan Bull, why don't you marry her and tell her about it? Many things, as long as you dare to face him, regardless of the result, you can face it in the end. However, if you keep suppressing it in your heart, it is sometimes hard to get over it.

Tell him? Murong Lanyu seemed to have realized something, and her face immediately flushed red. She promptly explained: Tell him what, I … I don't like him, I just...

Fenggu Zhengyun laughed bitterly: "I can only write my feelings on my face for Junior Sister, other than Junior Brother Taurus, everyone else in the Lingyun Hall would know what you are thinking.

Hearing this, Murong Lanyu's face flushed red for a while, and after a while, she sighed again and said: So it was that obvious …

Junior Sister need not be too disappointed. Maybe he was just friends with Miss Gu, so there was no need for Junior Sister to make things difficult for herself.

Senior brother, I want to be alone again.

Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Don't think too much, Junior Sister. With that said, Fenggu Zhengyun turned and walked back to the group.

At this time, on a nearby mountain slope, a pair of deep eyes were staring at them from afar.
