"Master, the little eagle is thinking of coming to check for you to see if this mortal monk has woken up." The eagle flapped its wings, like a domestic bird.

The masked man ignored it and instead walked up to Ji Xiuzhu and handed him the bowl of medicine.

"I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly. The cold poison of the white dragon was like thousands of ants eating marrow, but now it seems that it didn't hurt you at all."

Ji Xiuzhu took the medicine bowl, gulped down the medicine in the bowl, and then said "thank you" to the man.

When the man heard this, his heart trembled.

Did she just thank him?

There was a glimmer of something strange in the masked man's eyes, and then he immediately returned to calm.

He frowned slightly and looked at Ji Xiuzhu thoughtfully.

"That's quite polite. I've heard about what you did before. You are a wicked person. You must have abused your disciples a lot." He put the medicine bowl on the tray and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu smiled awkwardly.

She did not care about the man's indifference, but was embarrassed by what he said.

What does the evil done by the original owner have to do with her?

"Why, you don't plan to argue with a stranger like me to maintain your reputation as a respectable family?"

The man carried the tray to the stone table in the yard and sat down, then he took the cup and poured himself a glass of water.

Ji Xiuzhu's mouth twitched again.

What's wrong with this guy? He is so inexplicably arguing with her. Did she steal his money or his wife?

Ji Xiuzhu searched his mind several times, and after confirming that he did not recognize the masked man in front of him, he sighed secretly.

"Why, I feel like you have a lot to say, why don't you open up and tell me?" After saying that, the man raised his lips slightly and slowly put down the cup. "You're not talking again? It seems that no matter how much time has passed, you will always be like this to me, which is very annoying."

Ji Xiuzhu felt something was wrong when he heard this.

Just as she was about to take a step away, she found the man clamping her neck and she instantly had difficulty breathing.

So fast!

For the first time, Ji Xiuzhu felt the difficulty of breathing caused by someone grabbing her neck. She always liked to grab other people's necks before, but she never expected that one day she would be grabbed by someone's neck.

"You are crazy! You saved me and now you want to kill me. I don't even know you, and you keep saying things that no one can understand. How can I answer you?"

As Ji Xiuzhu spoke, he tried to break free from the man's hand, but the man's hand was so strong that Ji Xiuzhu couldn't get rid of it at all.

"You said you don't know me?" The man chuckled, as if he had heard a joke, but the strength in his hands did not decrease at all.

Ji Xiuzhu cursed in her heart, where did this madman come from! Just now, she couldn't find out the man's true cultivation level with her spiritual sense. She was instantly panicked. The cultivation level of the man in front of her was probably far better than hers.

She kicked her feet, trying to find a foothold, but found it was completely useless.

Just when she thought she was going to suffocate to death, the man suddenly let go of her hand.

After being released by the man, Ji Xiuzhu gasped wildly, as if he was reborn. Then, he glared at the man dizzily.

"Ji Xiuzhu, you are really heartless. Well, if I let you die like this, it would be a bargain for you. I will cure you and make you live a life worse than death." The man stood up, left a meaningful sentence, then turned to the eagle and said, "Watch her. If she escapes, you will roast yourself."

When Da Diao heard this, he felt his neck tighten and he nodded frantically.

The masked man glanced at Ji Xiuzhu's red neck, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. But just as he was about to reach out to touch it, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and after shaking his hand and snorting coldly, he stormed out of the yard.

Before leaving, he also added a ban here.

After seeing the man leave, Ji Xiuzhu subconsciously touched his neck, feeling a little scared.

Who is this person? He looks familiar, but I can't tell who he is because he's wearing a mask.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu wanted to go out first, so he raised his hand and waved, ready to use brute force to break the masked man's ban.

But no matter how many balls of spiritual power she swung out, they would be swallowed up by the restriction.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at the golden light on the roof and inexplicably felt that it was somewhat similar to the restriction he had made, but then he put this idea behind him.

This restriction was created by the original owner and she had never taught it to anyone, let alone a restriction similar to hers. She must have been stunned by the pain of the cold poison, otherwise why would everything she saw today seem familiar?

Then, she looked at the big eagle on the side and said with a sly smile: "Brother Eagle, are we allies now?"

The eagle's feathers exploded when it saw Ji Xiuzhu's smirk.

For some reason, it always felt that Ji Xiuzhu's smile was even more charming than that of his master.

Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu was about to reach it, the eagle instantly crawled to the ground and prostrated itself.

"Grandma, please forgive me! I'm just an eagle! If the master knew that I let you out, he would roast me!"

Ji Xiuzhu was instantly ashamed when he saw this.

What was this idiot doing? She just wanted to ask who that masked man was.

The eagle raised its head and opened one eye to take a peek. After seeing Ji Xiuzhu's speechless expression, the eagle came close to Ji Xiuzhu and whispered, "As long as you don't let me let you go, you can make any other requests."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu looked suspicious and asked, "Can you really just ask?"

Upon hearing this, the eagle quickly got up from the ground, then patted his chest and nodded.

Ji Xiuzhu's eyes rolled and a plan came to his mind: "Then tell me about your master, at least tell me who he is."

The eagle hesitated for a moment, and Ji Xiuzhu said quickly: "If you don't want to tell me, I will find him when he comes, and then tell him that you are not good at taking care of the spiritual herbs."

The eagle was helpless, its face full of disbelief that Ji Xiuzhu had such a vicious mind beneath that harmless face.

"You are a mortal monk. You have a pretty face, but how can you be so vicious! You want to kill the little eagle!"

Ji Xiuzhu didn't care about its pitiful behavior. Instead, he grabbed the eagle's wings and said, "Speak or not? If you don't, I'll pluck out all your feathers!"

As he spoke, Ji Xiuzhu pretended to pluck the eagle's feathers.

Seeing this, the eagle quickly knocked Ji Xiuzhu's hand away and said, "I told you, you can't tell the master."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu sat aside and rubbed his chin to signal Da Diao to continue.

The eagle prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Ji Xiuzhu would not be the kind of person who would abandon him after he has done his job.

The eagle looked at Ji Xiuzhu, took a deep breath, and then told Ji Xiuzhu everything he knew.

Ji Xiuzhu learned from the big eagle that the masked man had the same surname as her, Ji and given name as Mo.

Ji Mo and the eagle have lived in this secret realm for thousands of years. The eagle told him that he was waiting for the soul-returning fruit that was bred in this secret realm.

The function of the Soul-Returning Fruit, as the name suggests, is to resurrect the dead. And the method of using it is to temper it with the deceased's personal belongings, which can bring the person back to life.

And that piece of green lotus grass was planted for the deceased to restore his cultivation when he was resurrected.

As Ji Xiuzhu listened, only one sentence echoed in his mind: Resurrection, my love.

When he thought of this, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Isn’t this the experience of someone next door?

Seeing this, the eagle asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"

Ji Xiuzhu waved his hand and said, "Your master is really funny. He named himself Lonely. His experience is indeed lonely enough. Don't tell me that your master wants to resurrect a woman, and this woman is called Xiao Wu?"

Upon hearing this, the eagle looked at Ji Xiuzhu with a look that was half surprise and half contempt.

It flapped its wings and said, "My master did want to revive a woman, but that woman's name was not Xiao Wu. As for her name, I don't know."

Ji Xiuzhu was petrified instantly when he heard this.

She thought that Ji Mo's resurrection of a woman was just a joke, but she didn't expect that she had guessed it right. How come it wasn't her turn to open a treasure chest at this lucky moment? If she had been so lucky at that time, she might have opened a lot of red skins, right?

"Okay, I've told you everything I know. I don't know anything more. Please don't embarrass me anymore. I just want to be a good gatekeeper. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, just knock on the drum at the door and I'll be here."

After saying that, without waiting for Ji Xiuzhu to say anything, the eagle flapped its wings, circled into the sky and flew away.

Ji Xiuzhu looked at the halo above his head, his face full of confusion.

"This restriction only locks me? Why didn't that idiot get stopped by the restriction when he got out? Has the restriction been lifted?"

As he spoke, Ji Xiuzhu imitated the eagle, circling in the air, and then rushed towards the inside of the forbidden light circle.

Then, there was a bang, and Ji Xiuzhu was bounced back by the restriction, falling into the yard in a puff of dust, with his forehead bruised purple by the restriction barrier.

"Damn, this restriction is really only for me! Where on earth did this weirdo Ji Mo come from? Hiss~"

Ji Xiuzhu touched his aching forehead and couldn't help but clench his remaining hand.

After a while, the fog around the courtyard gradually dissipated, and Ji Xiuzhu could see the beautiful scenery outside the courtyard.

There is a winding corridor in the courtyard, with winding paths leading to secluded places. In the middle of the corridor is a lotus pond with green lotus leaves and fragrant lotus flowers.

Smelling the lotus fragrance, Ji Xiuzhu gradually calmed down and sat on the ground helplessly, thinking about how to break the restriction. At this time, she noticed the stones on the ground and suddenly had an idea in her mind.

Ji Xiuzhu picked up the stone and threw it towards the restriction.

Then, the stone followed the parabolic arc and flew out of the restriction while Ji Xiuzhu was looking at him in surprise.

When Ji Xiuzhu saw the stone lying outside the restriction, she was completely certain that this restriction was specially customized for her.

So she stopped struggling and instead walked around the courtyard inside and out.

After the tour, she found that this courtyard had many advantages except for the restrictions surrounding it.

For example, if you practice in this small courtyard, the power is several times higher than outside. After staying here for a while, she felt that the spiritual power in her body seemed to have found resonance, and her realm seemed to be loosening.

In an instant, she no longer thought about how to escape. Instead, she walked to the pavilion in the yard, sat cross-legged, and began to close her eyes to feel the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth here.

Gradually, as night fell, Ji Xiuzhu felt as if there was a warm current flowing through his body. It was the spiritual energy flowing through his meridians, cleansing his body and mind. His consciousness gradually immersed in this spiritual energy, as if he had entered a wonderful world.

Ji Xiuzhu didn't know how long she had been sitting here, but she could clearly feel her tired body gradually starting to feel refreshed.

Afterwards, Ji Xiuzhu seemed to see the mountains, rivers, sun, moon and stars through his spiritual consciousness, and the blending of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and felt the growth and decline of all things.

In an instant, the originally calm starry sky in the night sky suddenly surged.

Amid the twinkling stars, a dazzling light shot up from the top of the mountain, breaking through the clouds, like a giant golden dragon soaring into the sky.

In that light, a vague figure could be seen faintly. It was Ji Xiuzhu who was in a state of state of condensation.

The moment she broke through, the surrounding mountains and forests seemed to sense something, with howling winds and rustling leaves.

In the sky, with the help of the moonlight, dark clouds gathered quickly, and lightning and thunder appeared. However, among the thunder, there were traces of natural sounds like the sound of whales falling, which sounded as pleasant as fairy music, as if nature was cheering for his breakthrough.

The whole world seemed to be shaken by Ji Xiuzhu's breakthrough, with strange phenomena appearing all around and the scene was spectacular.

Finally, as she collected her spirit and returned to rest, the strange phenomena in heaven and earth gradually subsided, leaving only the sky full of stars and the quiet mountains and forests to witness this historic moment.

As the light faded, Ji Xiuzhu slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.

Ji Xiuzhu stretched out a finger and tried to mobilize the spiritual power around his body. Then he found that the use of spiritual power was extremely smooth. Even the white dragon inner core in his body that was swallowed by the original owner but could not be digested became clearly visible.

Ji Xiuzhu was instantly delighted. The original owner's cultivation, which had been stuck for three hundred years, actually made a breakthrough in this courtyard!

Before he could feel happy, Ji Xiuzhu sensed a presence approaching.

She looked towards the direction where the breath came from. She saw the masked man Ji Mo standing not far away, looking at her quietly.

Ji Xiuzhu's heart tightened.

This guy is so close to her, but she, who is at the Void Refinement Realm, can’t actually notice him?

Perhaps seeing through Ji Xiuzhu's doubts, Ji Mo slowly said, "How much do you plan to pay for using my yard to break through, Ji Xiuzhu?"

Ji Xiuzhu was stunned. Why did this guy's style of doing things look so familiar?

Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu didn't say anything, Ji Mo said coldly: "It seems that you are not very willing. Why, Ji Xiuzhu, are you still short of money? If you are short of money, then forget it."

The more Ji Xiuzhu listened, the more she felt something was wrong. She felt that for a moment, Ji Mo opposite her seemed to be the 2.0 version of herself.

Could this be an illusion?

Just as Ji Mo was about to approach Ji Xiuzhu, he saw Ji Xiuzhu stretched out his hand and said, "Stop! Just stand there and don't come over."

After saying that, Ji Xiuzhu threw the bag of spirit stones that contained a hundred top-grade spirit stones in his storage bag to Ji Mo.

"Alright, these spirit stones are my thank you gift. Also, quickly remove that restriction of yours. I need to go back to find my disciple."

Hearing this, Ji Mo instantly became interested. Looking at the bag of spirit stones in his hand, an evil smile appeared on the corner of Ji Mo's mouth.

Seeing him like this, Ji Xiuzhu felt his hair stand on end instantly: This is strange, why did he make me so scared? Could it be that he wanted to fight?

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuzhu was just about to respond when he saw Ji Mo wave his hand, and the golden light of the ban around the yard disappeared instantly.

Afterwards, Ji Mo very gentlemanly stepped aside to the outside of the courtyard, indicating that Ji Xiuzhu could leave.

Ji Xiuzhu carefully turned sideways and walked forward facing Ji Mo, while constantly changing the finger gestures in his hands.

Ji Mo looked at the little thoughts that Ji Xiuzhu showed in front of him and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Why, Ji Xiuzhu, are you afraid of me?"

Hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu paused, raised his eyes and looked at Ji Mo, "I have been unable to figure out one thing. In my impression, I am very sure that I don't know you. But you actually know who I am. Tell me, who are you?"

Ji Xiuzhu's question made Ji Mo stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. However, the sadness in his eyes did not escape Ji Xiuzhu's eyes.

Ji Xiuzhu took a step back, and a formation suddenly appeared under Ji Mo's feet, imprisoning Ji Mo in the formation.

Seeing that Ji Mo's movements were restricted, Ji Xiuzhu made a face at Ji Mo and said, "My savior, this formation was created by me. No one has been able to decipher it, not even me. I'll give it to you."

After saying that, Ji Xiuzhu left without looking back.

The secret realm was dangerous, and she had disappeared for a day and a night. Her evil disciples must have been worried sick. She had finally managed to ease the relationship, and they must not let it be interrupted this time.

But just after she left, Ji Mo just smiled faintly, then waved his hand, and Ji Xiuzhu's magic circle was broken by Ji Mo.

"It is indeed a good formation, but you taught me this, have you forgotten?"
