Xiao Mu was curious and took the clay jar.

As soon as he touched it, he knew what this jar was used for.

It was a Ghost-raising Jar.

Inside the jar was a female Yin Spirit. However, this Yin Spirit was severely injured to the point of being incomplete. It was being preserved by this spiritually filled clay jar, preventing it from dissipating completely.

"What is this?"

Xiao Mu raised his head in confusion and looked at Lan Ying.

Lan Ying said sadly, "This is our dear friend Xu Yan."

"Xu Yan?"

Xiao Mu knew that Xu Yan was the one who was killed by Xu Jiang.

However, he didn't expect that her Yin Spirit was preserved.

Under normal circumstances, if one dies naturally, the Yin Spirit can be preserved for a long term, and it may recover its spirituality eventually.

Here, natural death includes death due to old age, illness, or unjust death, but does not include being killed by Mutated Beings.

Perhaps it's because Mutated Beings carry some special power, generally it's hard to preserve the Yin Spirit of those killed by them.

Usually, when they are killed, their spirits vanish along with their physical body.

However, at this moment, although Xu Yan's Yin Spirit was preserved, it had completely lost its spiritual consciousness due to severe damage, making it akin to a vegetative person among humans.

He said seriously, "The damage is so severe, it's very hard to save her now, even with continuous incense, the chance of saving her is virtually zero."

Lan Ying nodded, her face filled with sorrow, "We know all this, Xiao Mu. We didn't hold any hope initially."

"But this time, Putuo Temple has appeared, and according to the information we obtained, there is a Lotus Pond outside the Guanyin Hall in the main area of the temple."

"Because this Lotus Pond once grew the Divine Medicine, White Jade Lotus, it carries spirituality due to the influence, having the effect of repairing the Divine Soul and restoring spiritual consciousness."

"Therefore, we want to enter Putuo Temple and go to the Lotus Pond."

"We want to use this Lotus Pond to restore the Divine Soul of Xu Yan and turn her into a spirit practitioner."

Only then did Xiao Mu understand the plan of Lan Ying and the others. He glanced at them and said dismissively, "The main hall, Guanyin Hall, is a contested place for the Mutated Beings. Considering your strength, I'm afraid you might not reach the Lotus Pond."

Despite the Lotus Pond being outside the Guanyin Hall, since it's near the hall, it's obviously dangerous.

With Lan Ying and the others' strength, Xiao Mu wasn't optimistic about them getting near the Lotus Pond.

"So, we want to request Xiao Mu's help."

Lan Ying said, and from a precious glass box she carried, she took out three Energy Fruits and placed them in front of Xiao Mu.

"We know that you need Energy Fruits, Xiao Mu. These three Energy Fruits are a reward for your help."

Looking at the three Energy Fruits in front of him, Xiao Mu couldn't help but frown.

With these three Energy Fruits, his realm could almost be elevated to the latter stage of the Peak of Spirit Communication Realm, and his strength would further increase.

His strength would increase, making him more competitive in entering the Putuo Temple.

This made him quite tempted.

However, after looking at Lan Ying and the others, Xiao Mu shook his head, "There are too many of you. With my abilities, I can't protect you all, I'm sorry! Besides, I'm afraid you can't enter the Putuo Temple either."

If it were one or two people, he might be able to provide protection, but for more than a dozen people, it far exceeded his capacity.

If he wasn't careful, he might put himself at risk.

Not to mention, entering Putuo Temple is not easy either.

Outside the Putuo Temple, various Alien Species' leaders have gathered, continuously killing those approaching the temple in order to weaken the strength of other species entering the temple.

He can enter smoothly because he has the protection of Qing Yan, and isn't afraid of the leaders of various species. However, Lan Ying and the others are without such protection, they will probably be killed by the Alien Species leaders as soon as they approach.

Lan Ying smiled lightly, "We do have a way to enter Putuo Temple, so Xiao Mu doesn't need to worry about this."

"Moreover, we do not intend for everyone to enter, in fact, only sister Yan Li will be the one entering Putuo Temple."

"What Xiao Mu needs to do is simply to protect sister Yan Li till she reaches the Lotus Pond outside the Guanyin Hall after entering the Putuo Temple."

"As long as we can reach the Lotus Pond, consider the task complete, Xiao Mu doesn't need to bother about anything else."

Hearing this, Xiao Mu was tempted, "I just need to escort Chen Yanli to the Lotus Pond?"

If he is just escorting Chen Yanli to the Lotus Pond, then the task seemed quite simple.

In Xiao Mu's opinion, it was an easy task.

So, he found Lan Ying's words almost unbelievable.

This easy, just for three Energy Fruits?

Lan Ying seemed to know what Xiao Mu was thinking and affirmed, "Just escort sister Yan Li to the Lotus Pond."

"As for how to enter Putuo Temple, and what to do after reaching the Lotus Pond, we will figure it out on our own, Xiao Mu doesn't need to help."

"Please consider it, Xiao Mu. These three Energy Fruits are the reward for your help."

Xiao Mu thought for a moment, "I need to think about it."

Lan Ying smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you have more than twelve hours to consider. You just need to give us your answer before Putuo Temple opens."

"Alright, I will give you my answer before Putuo Temple opens," Xiao Mu replied.

"In that case, we won't bother Mr. Xiao. Please consider it carefully!"

Lan Ying said politely, didn't say anything more, called Chen Yanli and the others, and left.

The place where Xiao Mu was located returned to normal.

As soon as Lan Ying and the others left, Xiao Mu began to think seriously.

Looking at the conditions proposed by Lan Ying, it seemed beneficial to him.

Simply escorting Chen Yanli from the entrance of Putuo Temple to the Lotus Pond wasn't too difficult. It should be easy to accomplish.

And for doing just that he could receive three Energy Fruits, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed profitable.

Not to mention, with these three Energy Fruits, Xiao Mu's strength could be enhanced again, reaching the latter stage of the Peak of Spirit Communication Realm.

With improved strength, he would have more confidence in the competition for the treasures in Putuo Temple.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu finally made his decision.

He was a man of action, didn't hesitate, he immediately messaged Lan Ying and told her he agreed.

Lan Ying was overjoyed, she immediately delivered the Energy Fruits to Xiao Mu, and also agreed on a meeting place with Chen Yanli and Xiao Mu after entering Putuo Temple.

After explaining everything, she didn't stay any longer and left immediately.

Once Xiao Mu had the Energy Fruits, he immediately released his Ghost Servant to guard and protect him while he consumed the fruits to enhance his strength again.

After a while, Xiao Mu opened his eyes, a gratified smile on his face.
