"Let me tell you, you, Lord Mo, are rich and wealthy. How could you be stumped by a small sixth-level demon elixir?" After checking the contents of the jade box, Ye Xiyue immediately smiled and nodded.
"Senior, as long as you are satisfied, then this mysterious jade..."
"Of course it belongs to you, how can I regret it? If that's true, I'm afraid Sister Murong will be angry." Ye Xiyue smiled sweetly and looked to the side with a pun.
How could Master Lingqing not hear the ridicule in the other party's words? He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but he didn't show it.
By completing the transaction, the purpose of the trip has been achieved. Of course, it was impossible for Mo Juren to say goodbye and leave immediately, as that would be too rude.
Moreover, if you have a deep relationship with the other person, it is natural that you will have to have a long talk after not seeing each other for many years, and it is reasonable to live with him for at least a period of time.
But this is a brothel, obviously not a place for temporary residence. Ye Xiyue seemed to be prepared, and then smiled and said:
"Sister Murong finally came here, so she won't leave for the time being. The big trade fair in Tiantian City will start exactly one year later, and Taoist friend Mo might as well stay together.
As for the place to live, it is simple. Jinyue Valley, more than two hundred miles east of Yujing City, has been opened to allow foreign monks to stay and live. Even I rented a temporary cave there. "
"Big trade fair!" Mo Juren looked startled, then his eyes lit up. Naturally, he knew that Tiannan held a grand event only once in thirty years. It was originally held in the sphere of influence of the good and the devil. Later, due to the battle between the good and the devil, the organizer intentionally changed the venue to the Nine Nations Alliance.
The last time he came, this matter was just an intention. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the matter has been decided. The interests involved are terrifying, and I don’t know how the various forces are at odds with each other?
No matter what, since he encountered such a grand event, there was no reason for him to miss it. Especially now, he is not far from the peak of the late stage of forming the core, and then he has to prepare for the condensation of the Nascent Soul.
The most important thing among them is to collect the resources needed to refine the eighth-level demon blood. After years of unremitting efforts, most of them have been collected, only the eighth-level water attribute demon soul, and some relatively uncommon materials.
For the former, he already has a target, but for the latter, he still needs to keep collecting.
After more than a year, it is not appropriate to return to Tianluo Kingdom. Instead, it is better to stay here. It is not too late to go back after the big trade fair is over.
"What's going on in Jinyue Valley?" Sensing the change in someone's expression, Master Lingqing made the same decision to stay in the Nine Nations Alliance for the time being. However, she had never heard of the Jinyue Mountain Range before, and she couldn't help but be curious.
"The so-called Jinyue Valley is actually a mountainous area between Huayi Sect and Baye Sect. It didn't have a name before, and it was just named in recent years.
Because the mountains here are located between the two sects, their ownership is difficult to distinguish. And because the grade of their spiritual veins is not high, very few disciples of the two sects are willing to open caves here.
In the past few years, there were too many casual cultivators who went south to the Nine Kingdoms Alliance. In the following decades, they multiplied, causing the overall number of cultivators to increase, and the better Lingshan treasure land became somewhat scarce.
Therefore, after discussion, the two parties decided to separate it as a special area for casual repairmen to rent. Both parties manage it jointly, and the benefits gained during the period will be divided between the two parties according to the results of the negotiation. "
Having said this, a golden light suddenly flashed in his hand, revealing a palm-sized golden token. He then handed it to the front and said:
"As one of the elders of the Baye Sect, I still have some privileges. As long as you two go directly to the person in charge there with this token, you can get the right to live in a high-end cave for free for fifty years, and the top The cave can be rented at only 70% of the price."
"Thank you." Mo Juren didn't show any pretense. He immediately accepted the token and then stood up directly and said,
"In this case, Mo will not stay any longer and will leave first."
When he turned around and left, only two girls, Ye Xiyue and Liao Qing, were left in the stone pavilion. The former was full of surprise, while the latter seemed to have thought of something, with a trace of shame flashing in her bright eyes.
"How did he..." Ye Xiyue finally came back to her senses, somewhat
Asked doubtfully,
"What's going on? Why doesn't he wait for you?"
"Why are you waiting for me? Is my sister so anxious to drive me away?" Master Liaoqing asked with his bright eyes flashing slightly.
"Of course not, I just..." Ye Xiyue was about to answer, but suddenly paused, turned to look at the other party with a half-smile and asked,
"Aren't you two together? Shouldn't the cave where you live be in the same place?"
"We are just friends."
"Really?" Ye Xiyue said with a look of disbelief,
"You are a powerful person in the Nascent Soul stage and the leader of a sect. Would you be friends with a junior who is in the late stage of Dan Formation?"
"He...he's different."
"Of course he is different. For thousands of years in the south of the world, there has been no one who can compare with him in the same realm. Such an outstanding person cannot be described as a genius, but more like a monster. Sister Murong's talent is also not bad, and her appearance and temperament are unparalleled. , it matches him perfectly, and it is inevitable that my heart will be moved."
"I didn't..." The other party pointed it out so nakedly that I felt a little overwhelmed.
"Don't even think about denying it. You won't forget what kind of skills I practice, right?" Ye Xiyue smiled slyly, stared at the other party with stern eyes, and said again,
"Besides, the old monster Yulong specifically mentioned that he poisoned you with the "poison of heavenly desire" that day. Can you tell me how it was cured? "
"I..." The other party's star-like eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and every sentence hit the point. Ling Qing could no longer remain calm. In a panic, she didn't know how to answer.
"Hey..." Seeing this, Ye Xiyue sighed and said again,
"You understand your situation better than I do, and you know exactly what the consequences will be. If this is the case, how are you going to deal with it in the future?"
"I don't know!" Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Master Lingqing stopped covering it up, and then told the other party all his secrets and plans. After listening, Ye Xiyue suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, he replied again,
"I didn't expect it to be like this. It can be considered an error. However, your response is only to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Problems will still occur one day."
"The matter has come to this, and we can only take one step at a time." The real person Lingqing looked helpless, as if he was resigned to his fate. Seeing this scene, Ye Xiyue suddenly looked solemn and said extremely solemnly,
"No, you can't sit still and wait for death. If it really doesn't work, you can try that thing you and I didn't finish in the past..."
"Don't even think about it, I will never agree to it." As if his tail had been stepped on, Master Liaoqing stood up immediately, with "a mixture of shame and anger" on his beautiful face.
"I am also doing it for your own good. After all, the "Ten Thousand Zhangs of Red Dust" I practiced is exactly the same as your "Seven Emotions Treasure Book"..." Ye Xiyue was about to say more, but was directly interrupted by the other party coldly,
"Sister Ye, I still call you that now, not only because of my life-saving grace in the past, but also because of the friendship between sisters over the years. If you continue, don't blame me for breaking up with you."
"Okay, okay, it's my sister's fault, don't be angry." The other party was so decisive, Ye Xiyue suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and knew that she had thought of things too simply.
He didn't insist anymore and immediately admitted his mistake, which made the atmosphere relax. At this time, she just said again,
"Don't worry, I will never mention that matter again. However, you can't just give up. You have to find a solution."
"I'll keep it in mind."
…
Jinyue Valley is located in the east of Yujing City, about two hundred miles away in a mountain range.
Because it was specially designated as a gathering area for casual cultivators, as soon as Fang approached the mountain range, he immediately sensed the auras of countless cultivators.
Different from the Chaos Star Sea, in Tiannan, monks are far away from mortals, and they basically try their best to avoid revealing their identities to the common people. Therefore, the mountains around Jinyue Valley are all shrouded in thick white mist, making it impossible for mortals to get close.
Monks are naturally an exception. As long as they hold the unique spiritual talisman in the valley, they can do anything.
to come and go freely. Mo Juren saw with his own eyes some flying monks. After entering the thick fog, they soon encountered a layer of forbidden obstacles. As long as the Jingling Talisman was lightly attached to it, a passage could be easily opened to enter.
In the thick fog at this time, Mo Juren was also blocked by the ban. He looked at the golden token in his hand and couldn't help but be a little confused. Although it was not a magic talisman, it was the possession of the elders of the Baye Sect after all. He didn't know if it would work?
While thinking this, he pasted the token toward the transparent light curtain in front of him. The next moment, the visible light curtain rippled like ripples in the water, and a passage about ten feet high emerged.
It works!
Mo Juren smiled slightly, then put away the token and walked towards the passage.
The passage is not long, only a few dozen feet long. It takes only a moment to reach the end. After passing through a layer of thick fog, the vision suddenly opens up.
As the name suggests, Jinyue Valley is composed of valleys of different sizes and directions.
Because of the convergence of underground spiritual veins, the vegetation in all the valleys grows extremely luxuriantly. It is lush and green at first glance, and is dotted with colorful purples and reds. The overall scenery is beautiful.
Its coverage is also very wide, with a slight touch of divine consciousness covering a radius of hundreds of miles. In a valley in the center, a large-scale market was built.
Mo Juren couldn't help feeling that although the level of the spiritual veins here was not high, so many casual cultivators gathered together, as if they had formed a small holy land for cultivation.
He waved to a foundation-building stage man who happened to fly by. The latter was startled for a moment, then hurriedly flew forward and saluted with unusual respect:
"I've met senior, what are your orders?"
"Mo is new here and would like to ask about renting a cave. What is the specific process?"
"That's it." The man suddenly understood, and then said diligently,
"The procedure is very simple. The office of Jinyue Valley is in Fang City. It is an all-white building. You just need to go there and go through the process."
"Thank you."
Saying goodbye to the man, Mo Juren immediately took up the Escape and flew towards Fangshi in the central area at high speed. After a while, they reached their destination.
His arrival naturally attracted the attention of many people. After all, most of the people living here are low-level monks below the Foundation Establishment stage. There are very few in the Core Formation stage, and even more in the Nascent Soul stage.
Mo Juren didn't pay attention, and after flying to the ground, he walked straight towards the white building in front. It's just a small two-story building, but there are a lot of monks who come to do business, and people come in and out from time to time.
"It turns out to be senior, welcome to Jinyue Valley, I don't know..." As soon as he walked into the hall, a skinny old man in gray robe came up to him with a respectful smile on his face.
"Mo plans to stay here for a while." Mo Juren nodded and handed over the golden token in his hand while speaking. The moment he saw the token, the skinny old man's dark eyes suddenly lit up with a fiery light.
"It turns out that he is an honored guest. I am just a blind man. I hope that my seniors will not care about my shortcomings." Handing the token back respectfully, the skinny old man asked again,
"This token can give you the right to live in a high-end cave for free for fifty years, or you can rent a top-notch cave at 70% of the price. I don't know, senior..."
"Tell me the difference between the two?" Mo Juren asked directly as he fumbled for the token. He has no shortage of spiritual stones, so he won't be stingy if he can have a better environment.
"It is mainly due to the concentration of spiritual energy. Jinyue Valley is located in the junction area of Huayi Sect and Baye Sect. It is essentially a part of the mountain gates of the two sects. The underground spiritual veins also originate from the remaining veins of the two sects. All top-level caves are built in areas with the highest concentration of spiritual energy.
There are naturally not many such areas, and there are only ten in total. The top caves are built based on them. These ten caves are extremely popular. So far, seven of them have been occupied, and only three remain.
In comparison, the high-end caves were far behind, with the spiritual energy concentration less than half of the former. Of course, its quality is not bad, and it can basically meet the needs of monks in the alchemy stage..."
"Just choose the top one!" After hearing this, Mo Juren already understood the general idea and made a decision immediately.
"In that case, senior, please come with me." The skinny old man nodded, and then walked towards a high platform in front of him.
A moment later, outside the hall.
After taking care of everything, Mo Juren walked out slowly, looked around, and suddenly rose into the air, heading towards the northeast.
There are ten top-level caves, four of which are located due north, close to Baye Sect, and the other six are located due east, close to Huayi Gate. In comparison, the concentration of spiritual energy in the last six caves is even better.
After some weighing, Mo Juren chose the former. The reason is also very simple, I don’t want to get too close to the Huayi Gate.
As the largest sect in the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, Huayi Sect's strength is on the same level as the righteous Taizhen Sect and the Demonic Hehuan Sect. Even though the Yuling Sect has grown rapidly in strength over the years, there is still a gap.
The area where the so-called top cave abode is located is essentially just the peripheral part of the two sects. He may encounter disciples of the two sects. If there is any conflict between them, the Baye Sect does not care. As a disciple of the Yuling Sect, he does not care at all. Fear, but switching to Huayi Gate requires careful consideration.
A moment later, he had already flown to the northern edge of the Golden Moon Valley, and soon found his cave abode, on the mountainside of a thousand-foot-long giant peak.
The outside was blocked by a layer of formation, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on in the cave. Even so, he had already sensed an increase in the concentration of spiritual energy around him.
A golden light flashed in his hand, and he took out the token again, planning to enter it through the light curtain.
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in my ears:
"Friend Daoist Mo, it's you!"
