"Look at what you're saying..." the Monk of Taiyan Sect gave Fang Zaiji a sideways glance.
"So many years have passed, even a monkey would have turned into a spirit by now. Not to mention our [Transmutation Stone Mother]."
They scoffed at Fang Zaiji's doubts.
However, Fang Zaiji made a subtle eye signal to Xu Bai and transmitted a message, "Sect Master, there's something odd. I remember back then, our Taiyan Sect was very wary of the [Transmutation Stone Mother] developing its own consciousness."
"After all, Cultivators have a finite life, while the Transmutation Stone Mother has an infinite one. If it truly developed Spirit Wisdom..."
"It's really hard to say who would be in charge of the Taiyan Sect. We'd better be cautious," Fang Zaiji reminded.
Xu Bai nodded slightly, but kept his composure.
Then he pretended to be very curious and asked, "To tell the truth, since we have come from afar, we do have some understanding of your Taiyan Sect."
